Ret. Gen. Jack Keane evaluates where President Donald Trump’s Iran strategy stands after multiple days of U.S. strikes against the Iranian regime.

  • Retired Gen. Jack Keane on President Trump's Iran approach following U.S. strikes in early July 2026 that hit over 170 Iranian targets, including air defenses and small boats.
  • The strikes responded to Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, with Trump declaring a prior ceasefire over while stating negotiations would continue alongside military pressure.
  • Keane has highlighted Trump's use of targeted bombings and threats as leverage to extract concessions from Iran, stressing the need for ongoing enforcement to counter delays and non-compliance in talks.


  • What lies on the other side of the universe? We can look deep into space and see galaxies billions of light-years away.

    The observable universe—the portion from which light has had time to reach us since the Big Bang—is a sphere centered on Earth with a current radius of about 46.5 billion light-years, for a diameter of roughly 93 billion light-yearsThis figure accounts for the universe's expansion: light from the earliest moments (like the Cosmic Microwave Background, or CMB) left its source ~13.8 billion years ago, but the space it traveled through has stretched dramatically since then. The light-travel distance alone would suggest only ~13.8 billion light-years, but expansion inflates the current distance to ~46.5 billion light-years in every direction.

    Why the boundary feels mysteriousThere is no physical "edge" or wall at the limit of the observable universe. It's a cosmic horizon set by the finite speed of light and the finite age of the universe (like how Earth's horizon limits what you can see on the ocean, even though more ocean exists beyond it). Beyond this horizon lies more universe—possibly vastly more. Leading models suggest:
    • The full universe could be infinite (especially if space is flat on large scales, as CMB data strongly indicate).
    • Or it could be finite but without boundaries (e.g., like the surface of a higher-dimensional sphere).
    • Inflation theory implies the entire universe is at least hundreds of times larger than the observable part, possibly by enormous factors like 10^23 or more.


    “We will not let Communist Party of China define who we are,” says Taiwan’s Vice President Hsiao Bi-Khim, who has been sanctioned by Beijing and labeled a “separatist.”

    President Trump was born on 6-14-1946. He is the 47th and 45th president of the USA, a media personality, Star of "The Apprentice" on TV for 15 seasons, successful businessman, and a member of the Republican Party.


    President Trump works all the time. He generates so much content, I have to create multiple webpages about him.

    New Study Shows That The Universe Might Be A Rotating Black Hole

    Have you ever considered that everything you know—the planets, stars, galaxies, and even you—might actually exist inside an enormous black hole? 

    What if the universe we call home is merely the interior of a cosmic leviathan, swallowing light from another reality we can never directly observe? For decades, black holes have captured our imagination as cosmic monsters devouring everything in their path, where even light cannot escape their gravitational clutches. 

    Recent discoveries are forcing scientists to consider an extraordinary possibility: that our entire universe might itself be a black hole. This isn't science fiction, it's a serious scientific hypothesis with growing evidence behind it.





    The observable universe is about 93 billion light-years in diameter, based on current measurements and its expansion since the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago. The total universe's size is unknown; it could be finite, possibly 7 trillion light-years across or much larger, or even infinite. These estimates come from cosmic inflation models, but no direct evidence confirms the total size. 

    The Hubble tension, a debate over the universe's expansion rate, adds uncertainty but doesn't change the observable universe's size. Large structures like the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall, spanning 10 billion light-years, fit within the observable universe. Future observations may clarify the total size.




    Is the edge of our universe an event horizon on a black hole in some other universe?
