<;p>;EMPs (Electromagnetic Pulse) are a trope that is often used in prepper fiction. We often think of an EMP attack as the worst-case‚ end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it scenario that is just around the corner. Theres little doubt that it would change everything‚ but whats the truth?<;/p>;<;h2>;Heres what an expert has to say about EMPs<;/h2>;<;p>;Nobody knows this better than Dr. Arthur T. Bradley. Dr Bradley is a NASA engineer and the leading expert on EMPs in the preparedness community.

He really knows what hes talking about and he shares information without hyperbole.

<;p>;House lawmakers are facing renewed pressure from both conservatives and liberals to strengthen protections for Americans as they debate reauthorization of the controversial Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act‚ known as <;a href=";https://www.dailysignal.com/tag/fisa/";>;FISA<;/a>;.<;/p>;<;p>;Heritage Action‚ a conservative grassroots organization‚ announced Friday it is urging lawmakers to adopt a bipartisan amendment that would prohibit warrantless searches of U.S. citizens. (The Daily Signal is the news organization of The Heritage Foundation‚ an independent partner of Heritage Action.)<;/p>;<;p>;The FBIs repeated misuse of Section 702 to abuse Americans constitutional rights is a disgrace‚ said Ryan Walker‚ executive vice president of Heritage Action. If <;a href=";https://www.dailysignal.com/tag/congress";>;Congress<;/a>; reauthorizes Section 702 without strong reforms‚ lawmakers will have missed a massive opportunity to end some of the federal governments glaring abuse.<;/p>;<;p>;The underlying legislation has divided <;a href=";https://www.dailysignal.com/tag/republicans";>;Republicans<;/a>; given the federal governments past abuses of FISA.

Not civilized enough for some‚ apparently‚ for when the United States acquired Florida in 1821‚ it began herding the Seminoles‚ through a succession of treaties‚ to progressively smaller and less desirable parts of the state. Ultimately‚ in 1834 federal officials set Jan. 1‚ 1836‚ as a deadline for <;a href=";https://www.historynet.com/on-removing-seminoles/";>;removal of the Seminoles<;/a>; from Florida to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma).

<;p>;<;span>;Kensington Palace is not just a grand residence for the British monarchy‚ but also a place where countless servants worked tirelessly to ensure the smooth running of the court. These servants played a crucial role in various aspects of royal life‚ from preparing extravagant meals to facilitating diplomatic visits and even caring for royal babies.<;/span>;<;/p>;<;p>;<;span>;In the grandeur of Kensington Palace‚ the royal plates were adorned with delicacies that were considered worthy of a king. From potted turtles to puffins‚ the court enjoyed an array of exotic dishes imported from around the world. China plates‚ which were considered special‚ were used to serve certain dishes‚ adding an elegant touch to the table. These plates‚ along with the meticulous arrangement of the dishes‚ provided a glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of royal dining.<;/span>;<;/p>;<;p>;<;/p>;<;h2>;<;b>;The Importance of<;/b>; <;b>;Notebooks<;/b>;<;/h2>;<;p>;<;span>;One of the most valuable sources of information about daily life at Kensington Palace is a notebook kept by James Daniel‚ the head cook.

At the top of the staircase‚ they would enter an intimidating room dominated by a royal canopy and the throne. This room served as a reminder that the servants were not just responsible for the practical aspects of running the palace‚ but also for creating formal situations where the king could receive his subjects and listen to their requests and petitions.<;br>;<;/span>;<;span>;<;br>;<;/span>;<;span>;During the Georgian era‚ the power of the monarch had been curtailed by parliament. However‚ the opportunity to vie for the kings attention at court was still highly prized‚ both at home and abroad.

The birth and upbringing of healthy children were of utmost importance‚ especially in the early 19th century when the race was on to find an appropriate royal wife for the surviving sons. In 1819‚ a healthy baby girl named Victoria was born at Kensington Palace‚ bringing great success to the project of securing a legitimate heir to the British throne. Victoria would go on to become Queen Empress‚ highlighting the significance of the role played by the servants in birthing and raising royal children.<;/span>;<;span>;<;br>;<;/span>;<;/p>;<;div class=";wp-caption alignleft";>;<;img loading=";lazy"; class=";wp-image-5203243 size-large"; src=";https://www.historyhit.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Wet-N-urse-1024x574.png?x93264"; alt=";"; width=";1024"; height=";574"; srcset=";https://www.historyhit.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Wet-N-urse-1024x574.png 1024w‚ https://www.historyhit.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Wet-N-urse-300x168.png 300w‚ https://www.historyhit.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Wet-N-urse-768x430.png 768w‚ https://www.historyhit.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Wet-N-urse-1536x860.png 1536w‚ https://www.historyhit.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Wet-N-urse-893x500.png 893w‚ https://www.historyhit.com/app/uploads/2024/04/Wet-N-urse.png 1919w"; sizes=";(max-width: 1024px) 100vw‚ 1024px";>;<;p class=";wp-caption-description";>;Mishka Sinha showing Dan Snow Katherine Elliots portrait.<;/p>;<;p class=";wp-caption-text";>;Image Credit: History Hit<;/p>;<;/div>;<;p>;<;span>;<;/span>;<;span>;Taking care of and nourishing royal babies was a task entrusted to the most reliable servants.
