Napoleon's tomb at Les Invalides in Paris.
Napoleon Bonaparte died on May, 5 1821 at age 51 on the island of Saint Helena in the Atlantic Ocean, where he was exiled since October 1815.
He was buried with military honors in the Valley of the Geraniums. His heart and intestines were removed and sealed inside his coffin.
In 1840, the British government gave Louis Philippe I permission to return Napoleon's remains to France.
Napoleon's body was exhumed and found to be well preserved as it had been sealed in four coffins (two of metal and two of mahogany) and placed in a masonry tomb.
On December 15, 1840, a state funeral was held in Paris before a crowd of 700,000 to one million who lined the route of the funeral procession to the chapel of the Esplanade des Invalides. The coffin was later placed in the cupola in St Jérôme's Chapel, where it remained until the tomb designed by Louis Visconti was completed.
In 1861, Napoleon's remains were entombed in a sarcophagus in the crypt under the dome at Les Invalides.

TIL in 1907, chemist Leo Baekeland accidentally overheated a mixture of chemicals while trying to find a substitute for shellac. Instead, he created Bakelite, the first fully synthetic plastic, which transformed manufacturing and paved the way for the modern plastics and polymer industry.

“My position on vaccines… is that vaccines should be tested, like other medicines. Of the 72 vaccine doses now mandated… for American children, none of them—not one—has ever been subject to a pre-licensing, placebo-controlled trial. Other medicines are required to do that, and we should have to do that for vaccines. If I’m wrong, show me the test. Show me the study. You won’t be able to, because there are none. That means that we don’t know what the long-term risks are.”

"It’s certainly painful to watch our youthful sports heroes “embarrass” themselves by showing their age and how their greatness has departed them. But they’ve earned their right to go out there and compete with their successors, and to confirm what they already suspect about their decline. And as Jake Paul demonstrated with his obvious respect for the former world champion, what a thrill it is for the younger men to test themselves, even against the faded shadows of their great elders."

What Trump did in South Texas is truly remarkable. He made George W. Bush's outstanding 2004 performance look paltry.
In 2020, Trump flipped Zapata County for the first GOP presidential win there since 1920. He held it this year with 61% of the vote.
This year, Trump flipped these notables that Bush didn't win in 2004:
Hidalgo County, first time since 1972
Willacy County, first time since 1972
Starr County, first ever with current boundaries
Duval County, first ever with current boundaries
Maverick County, first time since 1928
Webb County, first time since 1912
214,593 votes to the right of his own performance against Clinton in 2016.
Loss of white share of the vote was supposed to doom Texas. The current realignment has saved it instead.

NASA’s spacecraft has sent back the clearest images of Jupiter yet!
The Juno spacecraft recently completed its 66th flyby of Jupiter and its moons, capturing breathtaking images with the JunoCam, a camera with a two-megapixel resolution. These images reveal jellyfish-like, colorful spots across Jupiter’s surface. Juno even got closer to Amalthea, Jupiter’s fifth-largest moon.
Launched in 2011, Juno reached Jupiter’s orbit five years later and began transmitting images of the largest planet in our Solar System and its moons. Juno’s mission is set to conclude on September 15, 2025, when Jupiter’s gravity will ultimately pull the spacecraft in, causing it to burn up in the gas giant’s atmosphere, according to NASA.

Are US Presidents pre-selected? The case of the pre-groomed candidate George Bush
According to a formerly secret memorandum of conversation (1975), George Bush was already being groomed to be "promoted to president." This was announced by Kissinger in front of the communist Chinese dictator, Chairman Mao. According to the memo, his promotion to president was planned for 1980. Kissinger also confirmed that Japan would not be allowed to receive any hegemony in Asia until Yasuhiro Nakasone (his own student) took power — which happened in 1982. China knew more about the future of elections in the USA and Japan than the average voter.
In 1976, George Bush was appointed as Director of the CIA. He was placed as US Vice President in 1980 and became US President in 1989. In 1991, he made his "new world order" speech.
Memorandum of Conversation between Mao Zedong, George Bush and Henry Kissinger, 5:40 – 8:45 p.m., 21 October 1975.

TIL about the 1884 election. Grover Cleveland should have had an easy path to office, but then the scandal broke. He was accused of fathering a child out of wedlock and abandoning the mother. As a result, he won by a razor-thin margin of just 1,047 votes, or 0.09% of all votes cast in the state.

The Beatles band members Paul McCartney and John Lennon showing the Masonic hidden hand gesture
What you can also notice is that the band members are posing with the Eye of Horus, showing the Owl face, Baphomet horns, 666 hand sign and infamous occultist Aleister Crowley is on their album cover.
In my opinion, the Beatles were nothing but a psyop. Everything they did was to push the limits of what was considered acceptable in the 60's.
This was the era when the line "I get high with a little help from my friends" could get you banned by the BBC.
I believe that the Beatles deceitfully came to America as decent looking young men, but then led a generation of America's youth to become hippies, sexual degenerates and promote illegal drug usage
