NASA says asteroid is heading to US just before election day

 If We Discovered That An Asteroid Would Hit Earth In 20 Years, How ...



There is pandemic which has killed over 150K Americans, police unlawfully killing African Americans, California destroyed by wildfire, a president who is thinking of ways to stay on in power, an election which is dividing the nation and now an asteroid zooming towards the US just a day before the election. 

The asteroid is known as 2018VP1 is projected to come close to Earth on November 2.

According to Center for Near Earth Objects Studies at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. It was first identified at Palomar Observatory in California in 2018.
"Asteroid 2018VP1 is very small, approximately 6.5 feet, and poses no threat to Earth. If it were to enter our planet's atmosphere, it would disintegrate due to its extremely small size," NASA said in a statement. "NASA has been directed by Congress to discover 90% of the near-Earth asteroids larger than 140 meters (459 feet) in size and reports on asteroids of any size."
NASA says that, "based on 21 observations spanning 12.968 days," the agency has determined the asteroid probably won't have a deep impact, let alone bring Armageddon.
    The chance of it hitting us is just 0.41%, data show. it's 6.5 feet in diameter.

    MASS BREAST FEED PROTEST AT LONDON 5 STAR HOTEL

    Image
    40 women in London staged a mass breast feed protest outside 5 star hotel Claridge's. The reason for the protest was that staff of Claridge's Hotel told a mother Louise Burns to cover up while she was feeding her baby. After this incidence the leader of UKIP Nigel Farage when asked in a radio programme about women breast feeding their babies in public he said that a woman who wants to breast feed her child should sit in a corner to avoid offending people. So the women organised to breast feed in front of the hotel as a protest. If we do not hide when we eat why should a baby hide. I do not see why any one should be offended to see a breast on a baby's mouth. See more pictures below

    Image
                      We reported on this blog when a rapper August Alsina claimed that he had been in a relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith and that Will Smith gave his blessing. When he made this statement Jada Pinkett denied it. But She has come out to confess to having affair with August Alsina. She revealed this on her Facebook show Red Table Talk in a heart to heart talk with the husband Will Smith. She said it happened while the 2 were separated.          "We were over," she says. "From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August." Mr Smith then pushes her, saying "an entanglement? A relationship." "I was in a lot of pain and I was very broken," she countered. The pair have been married since 1997, have two children together, and said they are currently back together after a split. On what Alsina said about Will Smith giving his blessing, making people believe they were in open marriage, Pinkett Smith said,

       Sir Alan Sugar has sparked a racism row with a tweet about Ian wright's suit. The former Arsenal star, 56, appeared on the BBC yesterday wearing a sand-coloured jacket and matching trousers during the televised Fa Cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea. The billionaire, 73, tweeted on his Twitter handle taking aim at Wright's dress sense and it backfired spectacularly. Lord Sugar wrote: "That is one hell of a suit @IanWright0 has on. A bit too dark don’t you think. He could be in camouflage on a beach." Many of his followers accused him of racism over the tweet, with one writing: "I don’t get the part: A bit too dark don’t u think ??? "What does that suppose to mean? Dark for what!? Just being racist there." A second added: "It's a beachist tweet, or maybe sandist, but not racist. Woke people jump on everything." Another insisted critics should look at the picture of Ian Wight's suit before judging Lord Sugar's tweet, writing: &q
