Winter 2018 Starts Now — Today, Dec. 21, is 2018’s winter solstice which is the day with the fewest hours of sunlight during the whole year.
If this website’s clock is properly synched it is 5:23 pm EST. and that means winter has started.
The word solstice comes from the Latin words for “sun” and “to stand still.” As per the Old Farmer’s Almanac: In the Northern Hemisphere, as summer advances to winter, the points on the horizon where the Sun rises and sets advance southward each day; the high point in the Sun’s daily path across the sky, which occurs at local noon, also moves southward each day.
At the winter solstice, the Sun’s path has reached its southernmost position. The next day, the path will advance northward. However, a few days before and after the winter solstice, the change is so slight that the Sun’s path seems to stay the same, or stand still. The Sun is directly overhead at “high-noon” on Winter Solstice at the latitude called the Tropic of Capricorn.
Trump Syria Riddle Me This — Conventional American forces landed in Syria in March 2017, to crush the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Airstrikes and Special Forces engagements had been occurring against the Jihadis since September 2014 but they were generally ineffective and by December 2015 ISIS was in control of territory containing 8 million persons.
When President Trump took office, though, things got real. By December 2017 ISIS was crushed — at least in Iraq and Syria.
The usual suspects as expected condemned and criticized the Trump intervention.
So riddle me this: Now that the President has declared victory against ISIS– at least in Syria and Iraq — why the conniptions among the “peace” party types about his bringing the troops home?
Is somebody making money off this war or something?
By the way, ISIS remains active in Africa, Yeman and even the Philippines.
