Like most people, my social group is generationally mixed. Many, even the oldest among them, share concerns over Biden’s age (though not over Trump’s, indicating that the conservative line of attack on the president is having the desired effect). When pressed further, though, there is no clear consensus on what the ideal age to be president should be.

What if the Democratic Party were to pursue a volte-face on their candidate and choose a younger candidate? Admittedly, the circumstances that would have to occur for this to happen are legion and the path byzantine. There is no serious candidate within the party who would even consider challenging a sitting Democratic president for the nomination, party out of fear of reprisal but mostly out of a genuine love and respect for his long record as senator, vice-president, and president.

The terrifying true about the antártica: In August of 2022, Joe Rogan had a shocking revelation on his Joe Rogan Experience podcast that left him stunned. According to Sam Tripoli, a fellow podcaster comedian, Operation High Jump - a military exercise that happened in Antarctica back in the 20th century - actually existed officially titled the United States Navy Antarctic developments program. The exercise went on from 1946 to 1947 and was led by Rare Admiral Richard E Byrd. Its objective was to train military personnel in extremely cold conditions and to determine the feasibility of establishing military bases in Antarctica. President Harry Truman and the American government were curious about Antarctica and the fact that the area was largely untapped, and they were looking at establishing American sovereignty over the region. However, according to Sam, according to journals written by Admiral Byrd Navy Commander had made contact with a Nazi unidentified flying objects UFOs. The Nazis had essentially made a deal with aliens to use their Superior technology in World War II although we're not quite sure why this was never used in the actual war or what the aliens were still doing in Antarctica following the conflict's resolution. Anyway, according to Sam, top brass eventually went back to the president and explained that they needed to bring the aliens on board and make a deal with them. The president obliged cutting a deal with the aliens, and allowing them to conduct experiments on people. He won't believe it where those experiments were being conducted! If you think this is the end of the tale, then you've got another thing coming if you sweat you die one of the biggest reasons why Antarctica is so sparsely populated is unsurprisingly the fact that it's so cold of course it's no secret that Antarctica is so cold however I think a lot of us tend to conveniently underestimate just how freezing this place can be like many secluded and Scenic places Antarctica has attracted a lot of adventurers over the years whether for digging running skiing or hiking the adventurers have to abide by a strict dress code if they hope to survive even at that it is important to also make adjustments toyour dress code timing again if you hope to survive the unforgiving weather to give a bit of an insight into this Joe Rogan once interviewed Colin O'Brady one of the most popular adventurers and endurance athletes in the world Colin made a name for himself after he completed the first solo unsupported human-powered Crossing of Antarctica's land mass back in 2018 and on an episode of The Joe Rogan experience he spoke about the entire ordeal and the length to which he had to work just to accommodate the weather you might think Colin was exaggerating here but he was. really not according to the official tourism website for Antarctica you could see a Stern warning against sweating especially in the winter this is because sweat essentially packs your clothes full of moisture this in turn will freeze the outer layers of your outfit and pretty much melt causing potentially harmful consequences for when you start to warm up again for someone like Colin who had to do a lot of lifting and moving this can be especially challenging I like to think of myself as someone who loves a bit of cold from time to time but none of this it looks like fun if you ask me I mean how do you even survive in an environment where you can barely sweat without endangering your life if you plan on visiting Antarctica.
