The Oldest Unsolved Problem in Math
A perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper divisors.
The oldest unsolved problem in mathematics is to determine if any odd perfect numbers exist.
The only even perfect numbers known to the ancient Greeks were 6, 28, 496, and 8,128.
Euclid discovered a pattern that generates even perfect numbers: (2^{p-1} \times (2^p - 1)), where (p) is a prime number.
Nicomachus published five conjectures about perfect numbers, including that all perfect numbers are even and end in 6 or 8 alternately.
Ibn Fallus published a list of 10 perfect numbers, but three of them were incorrect.
Marin Mersenne studied numbers of the form (2^p - 1) and identified several Mersenne primes, which correspond to perfect numbers.
Pierre de Fermat and Rene Descartes believed that if an odd perfect number exists, it must have a special form.
Descartes proposed the existence of perfect numbers but couldn't prove it.
Leonhard Euler made three breakthroughs in studying perfect numbers.
Euler proved that every even perfect number has Euclid's form, solving a 1600-year-old problem.
Euler conjectured that every odd perfect number must have a specific form but couldn't prove its existence.
Progress in finding new perfect numbers was slow until the advent of computers.
Raphael Robinson used a computer program to find five new Mersenne primes and corresponding perfect numbers in 1952.
The Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (GIMPS) was launched in 1996 to distribute the search for Mersenne primes over many computers, leading to the discovery of 17 new Mersenne primes.
The largest known prime number is 2 to the power of 82,589,933 minus 1, discovered in 2018.
Mersenne primes are a special type of prime numbers that are almost always the largest known prime numbers.
The Lenstra and Pomerance Wagstaff conjecture predicts that there are infinitely many Mersenne primes and even perfect numbers.

Dr. Hilary Cass socks it to the ‘transgender’ movement
Thus, the report urges that the way forward should be guided by the evidence of “efficacy and safety.” Gee, you think? Isn’t that what medicine is all about: Do No Harm? The patient’s welfare should be the priority.
Hillary Cass, OBE, is a prominent and acclaimed British pediatrician. After four years of investigation, she just published her “Independent Review of Gender Identity Services for Children and Young People to the National Health Service (NHS) of the United Kingdom.” After she and her team reviewed the literature—100 plus studies on hormone and puberty blocker interventions—they concluded that there is “remarkably weak evidence” on the issues of efficacy and safety. They concluded that gender-affirming care should be offered with “extreme caution” or not at all for minors until better studies and more reliable evidence are available.
Here in America, doctors and institutions have aggressively adopted gender interventions, sometimes with very little investigation into the nature and magnitude of a person’s/child’s alleged gender dysphoria. These aggressive attitudes and approaches took a big hit from Dr. Cass.
Dr. Cass expressed concern about pressure in favor of so-called gender transitions from parents, teachers, social media, and health professionals, all of whom minimize the problems of treatment and emphasize the danger of not treating. Those health professionals who are concerned about this aggressive approach are intimidated into silence and influenced by gender change bullies and polemicists with a commitment to the aggressive gender transitioning agenda. The report notes, too, that minors are innocent and can easily be manipulated by people with agendas.
Having politely castigated the virtually non-existent research into gender dysphoria and effective responses, especially in children and adolescents, the report makes 32 recommendations for the NHS, all of which fall into three obvious categories: better research, better mental health assessments, and caution going forward with treatments.
For two decades, I have belonged to the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, a physician organization founded in the 1940s to oppose the socialist invasion of healthcare. I am also a member of the Do No Harm organization, which Stanley Goldfarb, a nephrologist, founded to protect American medicine from the disastrous effects of Marxist/socialist identity politics. Both organizations oppose so-called gender transition programs (see here and here). I consider gender transition activities to be political, ideological, and unethical human experimentation.
So-called transgenderism used to be about cross-dressing males, a kink or fetish that saw them get sexual pleasure when they presented themselves as women (usually highly sexualized women in revealing gowns and high heels). Some women took dressing in male clothes to the same sexual extremes.

Surge of Violent Transgenders Highlights Democrats’ Violent Ideology
As a new story of a transgender student planning or committing violence seems to emerge every few days, it’s time to state an obvious fact: leftist ideology deliberately encourages hatred and violence.
From Antifa domestic terrorists to transgender radicals to pro-Hamas protestors, the American Left clearly has a serious violence problem. The very same people who execrate peaceful Jan. 6 protestors for snapping selfies in the Capitol think themselves virtuous for screaming genocidal slogans, looting businesses, and assaulting their political opponents. The woke Marxism that has overtaken our institutions is not only dishonest and corrupting, it is also physically dangerous.

The World Is Waking Up to the Transgender Fallacy. Why Can’t the U.S.?
In recent years, we've witnessed Europe recognizing the risks associated with transitioning gender-confused children, which has prompted major policy shifts. For instance, London's Tavistock Clinic, the UK's main transgender clinic, shut its doors in July 2022 amid concerns about hastily performing surgeries without sufficient consideration for children's mental well-being.
Following this closure, the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS) implemented strict regulations, banning the use of puberty blockers in most cases and discontinuing the recommendation of social transitioning for children. Other European countries like Finland, France, Sweden, and Norway, have shifted away from advocating for gender transitioning in young people. Instead, these nations are prioritizing psychosocial support as the primary approach, aiming to minimize the risks associated with potentially harmful medications and invasive procedures.

New Wonder Woman comic slammed for promoting ‘anti-Christian and anti-conservative’ message
For years, mainstream American comic books have been used with increasing brazenness as a vehicle for creators’ left-wing politics, with the current run of DC Comics’ Wonder Woman pitting the iconic heroine against a new villain whose machinations present a barely veiled indictment of Christian conservatism.
Writer Tom King’s current story arc, which began in September 2023’s Wonder Woman #1, opens with a violent altercation between misogynistic pool hall patrons and an Amazon from Wonder Woman’s homeland. The incident sparks an effort to deport Amazons from the United States, paralleling real-life America’s immigration debate – complete with civilians complaining about the un-American ways of “these people” contrasted against “mothers being separated from their children.”
It is soon revealed that events are being orchestrated by a new villain called the Sovereign, whose predecessors have secretly ruled America from the beginning behind a mere illusion of democracy and are described as having even been obeyed by Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln.
The Sovereign holds a Lasso of Lies that he uses to control people, at one point brainwashing a soldier into killing himself and telling the world that Wonder Woman’s superior fighting ability “robbed me of the dignity of my gender, which is a gift from God” in his suicide note.
At one point in the story, Wonder Woman visits a terminally ill child named Jack, described as her “biggest fan,” who eventually confesses that he fears “God made me sick” because his favorite superhero is a girl. Wonder Woman reassures him “there is nothing wrong with you.” While the scenario appears intended to skewer opposition to the gender-fluidity movement, today it is the LGBT lobby that is more likely to conclude that a child’s interests not matching gender stereotypes means they need to transition out of the “wrong” gender.
The most recent issue, Wonder Woman #8 (published April 16), finds the heroine captured by the Sovereign, attempting to resist an illusion of herself as a stereotypically submissive 1950s American housewife. He quotes from the Bible as he attempts to break her resolve: “Wives, be subject to your own husbands”; and “Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness.”
Notably, as this is going on, the villain’s internal monologue reveals “we are not particularly religious, per se,” but considers faith a “glorious fiction” useful to maintain control. “We pick the ancient words that suit our causes and ignore those that do not,” he continues. “Fictionalize meanings where appropriate, adding our context to clarify moments that might induce doubt in our dominion.”
The text echoes long-running liberal talking points about the so-called Religious Right (while presumably giving King and DC wiggle room to claim they are only villainizing a particular usage/interpretation of Christianity rather than Christianity itself. Ironically, however, it most accurately applies to liberal Christians’ and Jews’ selective use of Bible quotes to rationalize their support for left-wing agenda items such as abortion.
“I do not believe your words,” Wonder Woman declares as she breaks free. “I do not believe your god.”
Left-wing entertainment website ScreenRant hails the Sovereign as having the potential to be Wonder Woman’s greatest foe in part because he is the “symbol of an institution that is built on falsehoods, oppression, privilege,” and PJ Media’s Jon Del Arroz had a different take.

Bill Maher STUNS Audience: Abortion Is Murder BUT GOOD
Bill Maher’s comments show just how much influence advocacy for the fake population crisis has on increasing support for the abortion agenda.
In fact, he reveals the coldheartedness, cruelty, and callousness of those who support abortion. Speaking of the murdered babies, he says, “We won’t miss you.
A video of Bill Maher’s recent comments on abortion has gone viral, and it’s fascinating because Maher is honest and tells us what abortion advocates really feel and think.
First, he recognizes that “abortion is murder.” Abortion is murder. It is the murder of an innocent human being made in the image and likeness of God.
Second, he recognizes that the only credible position against abortion is to oppose all abortions. This is because every baby is equally loved by God and of equal value in the sight of God. It doesn’t matter whether the unborn baby is one minute, eight weeks, or eight months old. It doesn’t matter how they were conceived. All human beings are of equal value. They all deserve to be protected.
Third, he admits that the pro-abortion lobby are lying when they accuse pro-lifers of “hating women.” He frankly acknowledges that the left just “made it up.” He recognizes that pro-lifers “don’t hate women” and are just people who want to stop babies being murdered.
Fourth, he admits that people who support abortion know that it’s murder and they are “okay with it.” They know perfectly well that they are killing babies, and they are fine with that. They think there are more important things than loving and protecting human life. They think that “sexual liberation” is more important than protecting babies, or that keeping mothers working to produce wealth for others is more important than love.
Fifth, he acknowledges that the population control agenda is another major reason why they kill babies on an industrial scale. Maher justifies the murder of babies on the basis that “there are eight billion people in the world.”

MSNBC’s Scarborough: Trump, Fox News ‘Are Obsessed with Trashing America.
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said Tuesday on his show “Morning Joe” that Fox News and former President Donald Trump were “obsessed with trashing America.”
Scarborough said, “Donald Trump keeps talking about how America sucks. Before he got elected, America sucked. Then he got elected, suddenly, America was great. Then he lost, and now America sucks again. You’re voting for a guy like that? You live in the most powerful, greatest country on the face of the earth, and you’re voting for a guy that tells you every day that America sucks? What’s wrong with you? Who raised you? What history did you read?”
He continued, “Like, where are you from? Because you may claim to be from where I’m from, but you were not raised by the same teachers I was raised by, and you don’t read because if you read, the facts are clear. I’m getting tired of saying this to people who claim to be patriotic but hate America because they’re always running America down. They’re always trashing America. They’re always saying America is horrible, its democracy doesn’t work, we need a dictatorship if Donald Trump doesn’t win.” https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2024/04/16/msnbcs-scarborough-trump-fox-news-are-obsessed-with-trashing-america/
