Just a Thought

This thought below is my (Diane Sori), thought  alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com   

 

[[[ This is my thought on a meme that was posted this morning on FB. Simply put, ALL DeSantis said is factually true, but Mr. "Art of the Deal" obviously does NOT know the difference between real estate and construction business deals and the "business of the government."

 

It also shows why Florida's Ron DeSantis, the governor of the freest and most economically successful state in our country today...should be the Republican presidential nominee in 2028, as he also knows well that all the Trump "paper shifted monies" must be shifted back to where they rightfully belong. 

 

In fact, history itself has shown that successful governors in having dealt with their state's economy actually make the best presidents. How so...because they have "hands on"  experience on how to actually apply economic success to their governance, and thus can transfer their success over to running the nation's economy, as opposed to those whose successful business deals are solely profit driven.

 

And while there is absolutely nothing wrong with that in the private sector, when it translates over into what I believe to be an attempt to "buy votes," then I say, "Houston, we again have a problem…the same problem we have regarding Iran…no need to name yet again the obvious name," at least dear reader I hope not. ]]]

NASA spacecraft discovers huge new crater on the moon

Associated Press 

Scientists have discovered a crater on the moon that’s bigger than the Roman Colosseum and is the result of a powerful impact two years ago that initially went undetected.

The steep-sided hole — about 728 feet across and up to 141 feet deep — is the solar system’s biggest known impact crater carved out in recent times.

Such a large-scale event is estimated to occur only once every 132 years, researchers said, making this a treasure trove of information as NASA prepares to build a base for astronauts on the moon.

 “This event constitutes a statistically rare, effectively once-in-a-lifetime observation,” the scientists wrote in one of two studies appearing on the subject Wednesday in the journal Science Advances.

The moon strike escaped real-time detection by telescopes on Earth and in space.

LRO’s wide-angle images were not identified in the crush of data until August 2025.

The spacecraft gathered more detailed pictures last fall, followed by confirmation of the discovery early this year. Read more, and see photos here.

Federal Reserve hikes interest rates for first time since 2023 amid stubborn inflation

Central bank meeting is the third led by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh

The Fed’s newest chairman outlines the central bank’s policy outlook and the economy following its latest monetary policy meeting.

This story about the September 2026 FOMC meeting will be updated with further details.

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday raised its benchmark interest rate for the first time in over three years amid concerns over stubborn inflation that has been driven recently by higher energy prices.

Fed policymakers voted 12-0 to raise the federal funds rate from a range of 3.5% to 3.75% to a new target rate of 3.75% to 4%. The 25-basis-point increase marks the first interest rate hike since July 2023 and comes after the Fed left rates unchanged at its first five meetings this year.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the central bank's panel responsible for monetary policy moves, noted that "Economic activity is expanding at a solid pace. While uncertainty remains elevated owing, in part, to geopolitical developments, domestic spending has been resilient. Productivity growth is strong, and capital investment is robust."
