Andrew Jackson was the only US President to have ever been a prisoner of war. At age 13, Jackson was captured by the British during the American Revolution. When Andrew refused to clean the boots of a British officer, the officer slashed at Jackson with a sword.

In an interview, US constitutional lawyer Robert Barnes, a friend of JD Vance, said: “Trump began exhibiting signs of early dementia in September 2025. He frequently confabulates, routinely loses his temper, unleashes screaming rants, and is incapable of doing critical thinking.” And – according to Barnes, in this state – “Trump genuinely believes that the U.S. has vanquished #Iran and does not comprehend the massive economic damage that the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is doing to the global economy.” In short, Barnes says “Trump is unable to comprehend reality.” Trump’s biographer, Michael Wolff: “Trump has no plan. He doesn’t know what’s going on. He’s not capable of formulating a plan. He likes to create Media cliffhangers. Trump: “No one knows what I am going to do next. So, everyone is afraid of me..." Wolf: “Nothing happens without emanating from him. And that changes on a moment-by-moment basis. The only metric that matters for Trump is to be seen as a winner.” But Trump has no strategy - bombing is not a strategy. And Iran is able, prepared to defend itself until the US runs out of bombs; until the global economy is on life support. With clearly articulated strategic goals, Iran is not "begging for a deal" and insists it will have a say on how and when the war ends. #IranWar

Lise Meitner was nominated 19 times for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry between 1924 and 1948, and 30 times for the Nobel Prize in Physics between 1937 and 1967. Despite her major role in the discovery of nuclear fission, she was never awarded a Nobel Prize.

A new study of U.S. temperatures from 1899 to 2025 uses 40 million daily records across 1,211 stations It finds extremes have declined. The most intense heat remains in the 1930s. In 1936, about 22% of stations recorded all-time highs. No modern year comes close. Heat waves peak between 1930 and 1944, then drop and only partly recover. The long-term trend is flat to down. Cold extremes also decline, but mostly at night. This is largely a product of urbanization over the decades, which traps heat and so lifts overnight lows. Overall, the extreme temperature burden is down about 30%. U.S. temperatures are less extreme today, not more.

Unlocking the Universe's Secret Code: The Fibonacci Spiral!🌀 Ever look at a perfectly curled seashell, the centre of a sunflower, or a massive spiral galaxy and wonder how nature gets it so right? It’s not just a coincidence. It is a mathematical masterpiece, and it all comes down to something called the Fibonacci Spiral. What is the Fibonacci Sequence? Before we get to the spiral, we have to look at the numbers behind it. The Fibonacci sequence is a deceptively simple string of numbers where each number is the sum of the two before it: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34... and so on. Back to the Spiral: Here is where the magic happens. Imagine drawing squares with widths that match those numbers: a 1x1 square, another 1x1, a 2x2, a 3x3, a 5x5. If you pack them together, they form a perfect rectangle. Now, draw a sweeping arc through the opposite corners of those squares. Suddenly, you are looking at the Fibonacci Spiral. This shape is intimately connected to the "Golden Ratio" a proportion that our human brains are naturally hardwired to find beautiful and structurally perfect. Looking purely at the math, the elegance of this pattern is undeniable. Where to Spot the Spiral in the Wild: Nature loves efficiency, and the Fibonacci spiral is the ultimate space-saving design. You can find it everywhere: • 🌻 Sunflowers & Pinecones • 🐚 Nautilus Shells • ☁️Extreme Weather. • 🌌 The Cosmos. From the microscopic to the galactic, the universe is practically written in this code. Where is the coolest place you have ever spotted a Fibonacci spiral in your day-to-day life? Let me know in the comments! 👇
