NASA Funds Study of Lattice Confinement Fusion Posted on October 1, 2020 NASA returns to LENR as a fuel of the future or as they call it “lattice confinement” referring to the lattice structure formed by the atoms making up a piece of solid metal. The NASA group used samples of erbium and titanium for their experiments. Under high pressure, a sample was “loaded” with deuterium gas, an isotope of hydrogen with one proton and one neutron. The metal confines the deuterium nuclei, called deuterons, and excess energy is released via a fusion process.

When District Attorney Larry Krasner showed up at Temple University Hospital, where a police officer died this morning, the fallen officer's comrades linked arms and wouldn't let Krasner in. Moments later, Fox 29 reporter Jenn Frederick, who was broadcasting live, asked Krasner on camera, "It appears that the police officers were literally keeping you outside." Krasner didn't answer the question; instead he looked right past the reporter and gave a robotic speech. "So the reason I'm here is we have a very serious incident involving a police officer," he said, stating the obvious. "I was here for the victim for...

When Truman took office after Roosevelt's death in April 1945, he knew relatively nothing about the grand strategy of World War II. No one had told him anything about the ongoing atomic bomb project...But for the next seven-plus years, Truman shocked the country. Over the objections of many in his Cabinet, he ordered the dropping of two atomic bombs on Japan. Over the objections of most of the State Department, he recognized the new state of Israel. Over the objections of the Roosevelt holdovers, he broke with wartime ally the Soviet Union and crafted the foundations of Cold War communist...

The gun industry has become popular in the last few years – which is causing the United States to shuffle a lot of money in this field. So, the firearm industry in the U.S. fell around 6.1% in 2018 – practically being in decline. However, there is still a lot of money that comes and goes in this business. Revenue on the Defense Side Arms sales are continuously changing in the US – and along with that, so is the revenue that results from this business. In the National Shooting Sports Foundation, it was estimated that 13.1 million firearms were...

Given that California Sen. Kamala Harris’s Wikipedia biography states that she was born in Oakland, CA in 1964 to immigrant parents and speculation exists that she plans to run for president in 2020, Golden State citizen Gary Wilmott has been seeking information as to her citizenship status and whether or not she meets the constitutional requirement of “natural born Citizen.” The Wikipedia entry states that Harris’s mother, Dr. Shyamala G. Harris, was from India, arriving in Berkeley, CA in 1960. (snip) Kamala’s father, Donald Harris, was born in Jamaica and naturalized in the U.S. but does not provide the year....

Dr. Dean Lorich, an orthopedic surgeon who volunteered in Haiti and exposed Clinton Foundation corruption and malpractice on the island, has been found dead in New York. He was 54. Dr. Lorich was found by his 11-year-old daughter on the bathroom floor of his tony Upper East Side apartment with a knife in his chest at around 1pm on Monday. The knife missed the surgeon’s heart, leaving him to bleed out and be found by his daughter. Despite the fact police were called to the property regarding an “assault“, they instantly registered the death as “suicide” and closed the case.

Last week U.S. Postal Service inspectors and IRS criminal investigators raided the offices of Benny Hinn, the infamous faith healer and “health and wealth” preacher. Here is what should know about Hinn and the prosperity gospel movement. What is the prosperity gospel? The prosperity gospel (also known as the “health and wealth gospel” or by its most popular brand, the “Word of Faith” movement) is a perversion of the gospel of Jesus that claims that God rewards increases in faith with increases in health and/or wealth. As Stephen Hunt explains, In the forefront is the doctrine of the assurance of...

A hapless thug picked the wrong convenience store to rob in Brazil recently. Inside the store were four off-duty plain clothes police officers carrying concealed weapons. Surveillance footage from inside the store shows the criminal was shot multiple times during the robbery on May 31st. The footage shows the suspect, wearing a white shirt and a motorcycle helmet, enter the store and produce a handgun. One of the cops took cover behind a display shelf and drew his service revolver. A 2nd camera angle shows the same officer fire 2-3 shots at the robber who dropped his gun on the...

Democrat-run inner cities across the United States are ensnared by progressive crime waves and yet local governments continue to institute progressive policies that are making crime pay - literally. A story recently appeared in The Washington Post about a city just north of San Francisco - Richmond, California - that is paying violent criminals to stop committing crimes. One such criminal is 21-year-old Lonnie Holmes who has been involved in drive-by shootings and other gun crimes. The story indicates that once Holmes was released from prison last year, the city approached him with an offer to pay him "as much...

Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said he is confident that he has laid the groundwork for Democrats to nuke the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees if they win back the Senate in November. Envisioning Hillary Clinton in the White House and Democrats controlling the Senate, Reid warned that if a Senate Republican minority block her Supreme Court nominee, he is confident the party won't hesitate to change the filibuster rules again. Such a move would be an extension of what Reid did in 2013 when he was still majority leader, eliminating filibusters (with a simple majority vote) on...

U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley is likely sweating it after a remark about the lack of towel service at an exclusive gym that has remained open to lawmakers during the government shutdown. The Iowa congressman defended the backlash for the gym's continued operation, while thousands of government employees are furloughed, including workers at the fitness center. He said on the "Bill Press Show:" "There's hardly anybody working down there. There's no towel service. So we're doing our own laundry down there. And we pay a fee to belong to the House gym. So this is no different than if you're working...

PALMVIEW — Police found a "laundry list" of drugs — from black tar heroin to ecstasy pills shaped like President Obama and Homer Simpson — during a traffic stop Monday morning. The drug bust came after officers received a call of a reckless driver about 10:15 a.m. Monday, said Palmview Police Lt. Lenny Sanchez. A patrol officer caught up with the driver near Minnesota Road and East Expressway 83 frontage road and received consent to search Mario Guadalupe Saenz's vehicle. Inside, police found about 200 ecstasy pills and several Xanax pills, a prescription anti-anxiety drug. The ecstasy pills came in...

NEW YORK - Last year was the warmest in a century, nosing out 1998, a federal analysis concludes. Researchers calculated that 2005 produced the highest annual average surface temperature worldwide since instrument recordings began in the late 1800s, said James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies. The result confirms a prediction the institute made in December. In a telephone interview, Hansen said the analysis estimated temperatures in the Arctic from nearby weather stations because no direct data were available. Because of that, "we couldn't say with 100 percent certainty that it's the warmest year, but I'm reasonably...

MEXICO CITY - President Vicente Fox heads into his final year of office Thursday, promising a more democratic, less corrupt and economically stable Mexico. But some call Fox's tenure one of "wasted opportunities" and say it's too late for him to make much of a difference for the country. Fox toppled one of the world's longest ruling parties in 2000, setting off a national euphoria that a new, modern Mexico was at hand. But many Mexicans quickly grew frustrated at the former Coca-Cola executive's inability to push through reforms. Today, some believe the country may be worse off than when...

Anyhow a resident in the area saw a ball bouncing around kind of strange like in the developments pond and when he went to investigate, it was a flathead catfish who had obviously tried to swallow a child's basketball which became stuck in its mouth. The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive but unable to because the ball would always bring him back up to the surface. The resident tried numerous times to get the ball out but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut the ball in order to deflate the ball and release the catfish....
