This Is Where US Vice President Lives

We all know where US president lives, which is white house but many people are oblivious of VP official residence.


Number One Observatory Circle is the official residence of the vice president of the United States. Located on the northeast grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington


The Vice President’s Residence

With their offices located on the White House grounds, Vice Presidents since Walter Mondale have lived with their families on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory.


The white nineteenth-century house at Number One Observatory Circle in northwestern Washington, D.C. was built in 1893. Originally intended for the superintendent of the USNO, the house was so lovely that in 1923, the chief of naval operations kicked out the superintendent so he could move in himself. Historically, Vice Presidents and their families lived in their own homes, but the cost of securing these private residences grew substantially over the years. Finally, in 1974, Congress agreed to refurbish the house at the Naval Observatory as a home for the Vice President.


Three years passed before any Vice President actually lived at Number One Observatory Circle. Vice President Gerald Ford acceded to the Presidency before he could use the home, and his Vice President, Nelson Rockefeller, only used it for entertaining. Walter Mondale was the first Vice President to move into the home. It has since been home to the families of Vice Presidents Bush, Quayle, Gore, Cheney, Biden, and Pence.


Vice Presidents have welcomed countless guests to the residence, including foreign leaders and dignitaries. Still, the Naval Observatory has continued to operate. Scientists observe the sun, moon, planets, and selected stars, determine and precisely measure the time, and publish astronomical data needed for accurate navigation.


Located about two miles from the White House and adjacent to several embassies, the secluded home sits on a 72-acre plot known as the United States Naval Observatory. It is not open to the public.

MICROCHIMERISM: Why Virginity Is Important

 The sperm is more than just a fluid, it is a container of genetic information. Meaning when a man ejaculates in a woman, he leaves behind DNA that is stored inside the woman and shared if she gets pregnant. If she aborts, more information is stored Scientists call this phenomena MICROCHIMERISM, there have being done on this phenomena and the results have been mind blowing For example, the more a woman has sex with a particular man, the woman's DNA changes to mimic that of the man to a certain extent. This probably explains why, when a couple has been together for a long time, they end up looking alike Another example, when a woman has DNA traces of many men inside her, she starts to change in her behavior and mannerisms as well, because her cells are changing. This probably explains why prostitutes tend to have all kinds of traits, it's due to having slept with many men Another example, isn't it weird that one child in a particular family can be just totally different from...

Man Used Internet Registry to Track down and Beat up Pedophiles

In February 2018, Jason Vukovich, a 43-year-old man, received a prison sentence of 23 years for a series of assault and robbery offenses. Interestingly, some individuals consider Vukovich a vigilante hero, as all of his victims were identified as pedophiles. Vukovich had previously referred to himself as an "avenging angel seeking justice," but he has since expressed remorse for his actions. After serving six years of his sentence, he will be eligible to apply for parole. During his trial, it was disclosed that Vukovich had been a victim of abuse himself, having been sexually and physically mistreated by his stepfather during his childhood.

Over five days in June 2016, he carried out a violent spree, during which he reportedly knocked one...
