China Sends 71 War Planes In the Skies Around Taiwan in “Military Drill”: China appears to be setting up Taiwan for a Chinese invasion. We previously reported on China’s efforts to invade Taiwan. Expert Bradley Thayer said China could invade Taiwan any day. Today, it was reported that China sent 71 warplanes over Taiwan’s airspace yesterday. China deployed 71 warplanes to skies around Taiwan in a chilling ‘strike drill’, then blamed the US for ‘provocations’ and ‘collusion’ with the self-governing island – in one of the biggest daily incursions to date. Sixty fighter jets took part in the drills, including six Su-30 warplanes, some of China’s most advanced, Taipei’s defense ministry said in a Twitter post on Monday. 19th Century Vermont Farmer Wilson Bentley Was The World’s First Person To Photograph A Snowflake, Forever Proving That God Created No Two Alike: Wilson Bentley was called the Snowflake Man because he created photographic proof that no two snowflakes are created alike, a feat only God could do: You likely have never heard the name Wilson Bentley, but there was a day when he was quite famous, but by another name, the Snowflake Man. He was called that because he was the world’s first person to capture a freshly-fallen snowflake on camera, and over the course of his life would photograph 5,000 of them. What did those 5,000 snowflakes prove? That God created them all in different shapes, with no two alike, a feat that evolution could never pull off in a billion years. But God could, and did. Have you ever wondered how many snowflakes fall from Heaven upon the earth in a given year? The actual number is unknowable, but a really close estimate is absolutely possible, so brace yourself for this. Each year, about 1 septillion snowflakes fall from the sky, that’s a 1 with 24 zeros after it and it looks like this – 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Because the Bible says that snow comes from heaven, that means it’s a creation of God Almighty, and He makes all of them in different shapes every time it snows. In his study of snowflakes, he learned that almost all snow crystals have six similar branches, and a few very rare ones have three. He at first expected that all snowflakes would be the same, but was surprised to learn that all of those he examined were different. Bentley concluded that, to the best of his knowledge, no snowflake “was an exact duplicate of any other snowflake!,” adding “with profound humility, we acknowledge that the Great Designer is incomparable and unapproachable in the infinite prodigality and beauty of His works.” Hollywood realizes massive market value decline of more than $500 billion in 2022: Whether by choice or out of necessity, Americans voted with their dollars in a big way in 2022, and those financial moves spelled disaster for Hollywood now facing more than half a trillion dollars in losses. At all levels of corporate media, consumers have been faced with a constant barrage of progressive narratives from social justice causes to climate activism and radical gender theories. The desire to escape into fiction for entertainment has been sullied by those only ever striving to advance their personal agenda resulting not in the change of hearts and minds, but in major box office flops. The news was celebrated by many who saw it as just dessert for the flaunted disconnect that corporate media has espoused from consumers. Iran brags about its missile export to Palestinians, Hezbollah: Tehran Times published an article describing how Iran developed its missiles and distributed them to its allies throughout the Middle East.

South Korea's military has confirmed it fired warning shots and scrambled jets after the north sent drones that violated the south's sovereign airspace. It marks the first such major territory-breaching incident in a half-decade, also resulting in Seoul sending surveillance aircraft across the border in response. The North Korean drones penetrated deep into the south's territory, resulting in civilian commercial flights being temporarily grounded in and around Seoul. "South Korea’s military detected five drones from North Korea crossing the border, and one traveled as far as the northern part of the South Korean capital region, which is about an hour’s drive away, South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said," according to The Associated Press. "The military responded by firing warning shots and launching fighter jets and attack helicopters to shoot down the North Korean drones," the report based on official military statements continues. "The attack helicopters fired a combined 100 rounds but it wasn’t immediately known if any of the North Korean drones were shot down, according to the Defense Ministry." Only one of the five drones was observed flying back across the border into North Korea, while the others disappeared from radar, according to the south's Joint Chiefs. "Our military will thoroughly and resolutely respond to this kind of North Korean provocation," Maj. Gen. Lee Seung-o, spokesman for the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff, said at a press briefing. Tensions along the militarized border have already been high due to Pyongyang firing off a record number of ballistic and other missiles this year, including a pair fired last week toward Japan. With now days left in 2022, analysts have tracked over 90 missiles fired this year.
