Before everyone starts panicking about the 'Russian Plague.'

Everything we've got is it's Bubonic Plague, pneumonic variant. Possibly partially weaponized maybe.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD DO OPPO RESEARCH IN PRIMARIES:

I feel sorry for Haley Stevens. Abdul beat her in the Michigan D primary by attacking her supporter, AIPAC, as representative of a foreign government.

Now it turns out that Abdul is a walking, talking dual citizen of a foreign government, Egypt.

The guy is a con man.

INVENTED HERE, BUILT THERE: China’s Sneak Attack on the Battery American Taxpayers Paid For.

EnerVenue is not just another battery company. Its battery is a game changer. A steel vessel with nickel on one side, hydrogen on the other, and water in between, it cannot catch fire the way a lithium-ion battery can.

It uses no lithium. It uses no cobalt, the metal dug in the Democratic Republic of the Congo by Chinese companies and refined in China. Its raw materials, by the company’s own list, are steel, nickel, fiberglass, resin, and water—four of them mined or refined in America, the fifth mined next door in Canada. And it runs 30 years, 10 times the life of the lithium-ion cells now going onto the American grid.

The American taxpayer built this battery twice. NASA developed the nickel-hydrogen battery half a century ago and has flown it ever since; the Hubble telescope ran on it for 19 years. But it needed platinum, and engineers built it one cell at a time for spacecraft. It was too expensive for anything on Earth.

Then a Stanford laboratory, on Energy Department money—the American taxpayer’s dime—found a way to make it without the platinum. The cost problem was solved. The commercial door was open.

Today, EnerVenue has the one storage chemistry that could let America compete in one of the world’s fastest-growing battery markets without buying a single cell from China’s supply chain. It is exactly the technology that could get us out from under Beijing. Instead, EnerVenue’s first factory is in Changzhou, China. How did this happen?

Ladies, you don’t know s**t about the case, just like you didn’t know anything about Clancy. Also, discussing a brutal, violent crime among those who play and make clay snakes is weird. Kids can’t process this; they don’t know what it is, and they’re repeating what you say. We’ve all been kids before, you idiot women.
