The History Editor: Is the Roman Empire falling again, LL ?
The Try From Memory Cat: This is from my British cat memory. It kind of started with their defeat of Napoleon. They built on their navy, it ruled the waves for over two hundred years. The American colonies were lost but, they ruled over Australia, Canada, India, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and numerous lands they passed through. Hong Kong was returned to China in 1999.
WW II pretty much doomed the Empire that at one time ” the sun never set “. Now they have let so many immigrants in, they are ashamed to show their flags. The newcomers have nothing in common with the British.
The Democrats want the same thing for America. Remember the 40 Trillion the American government owes almost everyone? A song for the once great empire.

Astronomy Picture of the Day
> Where Your Elements Came From
Image Credit: NASA‘s GSFC, SVS
Explanation: The hydrogen in your body and present in every molecule of water came from the Big Bang. There are no other appreciable sources of hydrogen in the universe. The carbon in your body was made by nuclear fusion in the interior of stars, as was the oxygen. Much of the iron in your body was made during supernovas of stars that occurred long ago and far away. The gold in your jewelry was likely made from neutron stars during collisions that may have been visible as short-duration gamma-ray bursts or gravitational wave events. Elements like phosphorus and copper are present in our bodies in only small amounts but are essential to the functioning of all known life. The featured periodic table is color coded to indicate humanity‘s best guess as to the nuclear origin of all known elements. The sites of nuclear creation of some elements, such as copper, are not really well known and are continuing topics of observational and computational research.
