The expected $4 billion increase in federal road and bridge funds over the next five years is raising the rhetoric against the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s proposal to toll nine bridges across the state to pay for their replacement. The department says its financial problems are so severe that using federal infrastructure funds approved Friday instead of following through with tolling would still prevent the agency from repairing hundreds of other bridges across the state. The $4 billion increase in federal funds over five years will help, the agency said, but it claims it should be spending $8.1 billion more...

Anomalous Enhancement of Three-Body Deuteron Fusion in Titanium-Deuteride with Low-Energy D+ Beam Implantation Akito Takahashi,Katsuhiko Maruta,Kentaro Ochiai,Hiroyuki Miyamaru &Toshiyuki Iida Pages 256-272 | Published online: 09 May 2017 Download citation https://doi.org/10.13182/FST98-A70 Abstract Anomalous enhancement of three-body deuteron fusion reactions was observed by low-energy D+ ion beam implantation experiment with titanium-deuteride (TiDx: x = 1.4) using a δE-E charged-particle spectrometer. The enhancement ratio was ~10^26, compared with the traditional theory estimation for a beam/target interaction of the random nuclear reaction process. Two characteristic charged particles of 4.75-MeV helium (3He) and 4.75-MeV triton from the reaction channel of 3D → t +...

Wednesday is the United States Marine Corps’ birthday. The Marines were formed 246 years ago in a bar in Philadelphia. Marines old and young across the U.S. are celebrating their special day, including a 103-year-old Marine from Greensburg. KDKA’s resident Marine Ross Guidotti spent some time with Madeline Buchek, whose service in World War II helped pave the way for future female Marines. Although it’s been 78 years, Buchek says her memories of her time as a Marine are as vivid as ever.

It pains me to see the sinfulness and moral treachery of our youth in America today. A notable example of this was during the Astroworld concert in Houston, Texas, which brought to light just how low our nation has fallen. At least eight lives were tragically lost, with over 100 injured. All in the name of worshipping celebrities as if they are deities. Where has our faith gone? Famed rapper Travis Scott hosted his notorious Astroworld event in Houston amid the jubilation of tens of thousands of fans. They flocked to Texas to walk through the massive gaping mouth of...

Veteran’s Day is here and descendants of World War II Rangers are working to have a Congressional Gold Medal awarded to them. Of 16 million American military in World War II, just 7,000 were Rangers who spearheaded multiple invasions from Africa to D-Day Normandy. Today, only 19 of those Rangers are living. The U.S. Senate has already passed bipartisan legislation that will award the medal. HR3577 will do the same in the House if it gains sufficient co-sponsors. Sen. Jerry Moran was a co-sponsor on the Senate bill, but as of yet, only Congressman Tracey Mann — one of four...

Police arrested a woman they said was running while holding a newborn baby by the neck in South Charleston, West Virginia. 19-year-old Areonia Igo is charged with child abuse creating risk of injury. On Thursday (Nov. 4, 2021), police said they were dispatched to Colonial Park Drive in South Charleston in reference to a disturbance. “The only thing the 911 call taker from the dispatcher can hear is someone yelling about a dead baby,” Patrolman W.M. Tanzey wrote in a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court. When police got on scene, they said they saw Igo being physically...

Fool's Ball Week 10 Your home for all things Fool's Ball! In Memoriam Danny Lee (BENDER2)

It made for a good laugh a few months ago when Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), a particularly fierce critic of former President Donald Trump, indicated she wasn't ruling out a run for president in 2024. Her actions as of late have only fueled further speculation that she really is going for it. On Tuesday night she not only publicly railed against Trump before a large audience, but she did so in New Hampshire. As the first primary state, even just stepping foot there can get people talking. Now that she's delivering campaign-style speeches in New Hampshire, which party does Liz...

A US boy born at 21 weeks and a day weighing under a pound has been certified as the world's most premature baby to survive. Curtis Means was delivered in Birmingham, Alabama, last year weighing just 420g (14.8 ounces). Guinness World Records confirmed that Curtis, who is now thriving at 16 months old, set the new record.

Democrats are readying a full court press to sell President Biden’s bipartisan infrastructure package to voters and protect their most vulnerable members in next year’s midterms. On Tuesday, Biden participated in a virtual grassroots event with Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison where the two discussed infrastructure legislation. The committee projected images highlighting the infrastructure plan on a hotel in downtown Baltimore ahead of Biden’s visit to the Port of Baltimore on Wednesday. State parties are also getting in on the action, promoting the package and targeting Republicans who voted against it. Wisconsin’s Democratic Party and the state’s labor leaders...

The early religion of Sikhism was led by a succession of 10 Gurus.* The Mughals executed the ninth of those Gurus on this date in 1674. Guru Tegh Bahadur (the name means “Hero of the Sword” and was earned in youthful battles against those same Mughals) was acclaimed above 20-odd other aspirants after the previous Guru died saying only that the next guy was in the village of Bakala. Guru from 1664, he’s noted for founding the holy city of Anandpur Sahib in Punjab. And it was his lot to lead a minority faith during the reign of the Aurangzeb,...

All footage was shot on the Phantom Flex4K at 1000FPS out of the open door of a UH-60 "Black Hawk" helicopter hovering at about 3000 feet.

The titans of global capitalism, including Bill Gates, are exploiting the COVID crisis to institute social credit-style digital ID systems across the West. The death by starvation of Etwariya Devi, a 67-year-old widow from the rural Indian state of Jharkhand, might have passed without notice had it not been part of a more widespread trend. Like 1.3 billion of her fellow Indians, Devi had been pushed to enroll in a biometric digital ID system called Aadhaar in order to access public services, including her monthly allotment of 25kg of rice. When her fingerprint failed to register with the shoddy system,...

As Veterans’ Day arrives, it is important for those who have never served to take a moment to understand the solitary world of a vet. Millions of vets are and have been successful in all endeavors. They are doctors, lawyers, business people and a thousand other professions. Not all have PTSD; not all are the troubled, brooding, street corner homeless guy, although they exist and need help desperately. No matter how successful a vet might be materially, more often than not, vets are often alone, mentally and spiritually each day and for the rest of their lives. Vets’ stories are...
