First Lady Melania Trump reminded Americans Monday night of the “selfless sacrifice” of military men and women who have given their lives so that we can live in freedom, leaving their own Gold Star family members behind, like those she and husband Donald Trump hosted at the White House. “It was a privilege to welcome Gold Star Families to the White House today to recognize our Nation’s fallen heroes and their families,” Mrs. Trump said in a statement released after the event. “To all those who have lost loved ones in service to our country, our nation grieves with you.”

General Motors has revealed its most extreme Chevy truck yet, and it’s set to be tested by the US Army. The Chevrolet Colorado ZH2 is an off-road electric vehicle equipped with a massive hydrogen fuel cell, which can even act as a portable power source. Despite its hulking size, at over six-and-a-half feet tall and seven feet wide, and all-terrain capabilities, the truck will also be used to evaluate stealth operations for near-silent surveillance.

(English-language translation) PHILADELPHIA - The lights go out for Peter Parker, the high-school student whose bite from a radioactive spider turned him into the avenger who spins spiderwebs and climbs walls, a member of the Marvel Comics universe of heroes and villains.

Friends, The days are dark right now. The Obama Administration, composed of some of the most anti-American, anti-freedom, and anti-Constitutional leaders we have ever seen, are busy daily deconstructing a free society that took 232 years to build. For those that are perceptive, it can readily be seen that there is brewing on the horizon a battle of epic proportions in the political realm. Like the test Abraham Lincoln referred to in his Gettysburg Address in November,1863, we are met on a great political battlefield which will determine whether a nation founded in liberty will survive, or whether a nation...

It could be pot luck...

Scientists at Tel Aviv University have developed new technology to greatly improve battery performance and decrease the risks associated with the lithium-based batteries currently used. Batteries are the bottle-neck for electronic devices' ability to operate effectively, the project's head, Professor Menachem Nathan told Israel21c.org. Mobile devices need more and more battery power, and consumers are seeking products that take the shortest amount of time to charge. The demand has resulted in lithium-heavy batteries that heat to high temperatures, posing a fire hazard. "The problem we're dealing with here is the flammability of lithium batteries. There have been a few dozen...
