NASA might have successfully tested a warp drive, could carry people as fast as light

NASA may have successfully tested a form of space flight that could carry people to the moon in a few short hours — and eventually let us fly at speeds approaching that of light. The agency has built an electromagnetic (EM) drive, using technology that shouldn’t be possible in current understanding of physics, according to users on forum NASASpaceFlight.com. Some of those discussing the plan claim to be Nasa engineers that are currently working on the plan — and have been verified as such, according to Cnet. While the technology behind EM drives has been demonstrated before, the results have been disputed by some who don’t believe that it could work. But a controlled demonstration in conditions like those in space could be enough to begin the work to prove that the project could be used in practice. Though the technology has been discussed in great length and detail on the forum and elsewhere, it is yet to undergo any peer review and the results of the recent Nasa experiments have not been released publicly. The device works by propelling objects through space by using magnets to create microwaves, which are then sent through a device to create thrust. If it works, it could overcome the need to carry fuel for propulsion — a huge problem that limits the speed and distance that those journeying in space can travel. To work, the spacecraft that carried it would need to carry a nuclear power plant to create the energy required to travel through space.

Wow!!  Very cool!!   🙂

New Black Panther Head: Like Founding Fathers, We Are Willing to Kill for Black Nation

This Week on the New Black Panther Party’s “Black Power Radio,” national chairman Hashim Nzinga said since America has “declared war on us,” evidenced by “military police in the black neighborhood” protecting the rich, the New Black Panthers should be looked upon as Founding Fathers who declare war and are “willing to die or kill to save our babies and to save a black nation that is dying before our eyes.” Nzinga said, “America is about protecting the rich and the powerful.” He added, “We pay taxes. They have declared war on us and it’s nothing but state racism.” “So if we say we are at war, we should be applauded like George Washington,” Nzinga continued. “We should be applauded like Thomas Jefferson. We should be applauded like the Founding Fathers of the country.” “This is not the hate hour, this is the love hour,”he added. “We have to love ourselves enough to be willing to die or kill to save our babies and to save a black nation that is dying before our eyes.”

Wow…  Just fathom if this had been some white racial/political leader saying something like this; if the racial makeup had been reversed..  This story would be EVERYWHERE…and we all know it.  But, this doesn’t fit the racial narrative of the dominantly liberal mainstream media.  So, they’ve buried it.  Typical..

St. Louis Rams select Todd Gurley with No. 10 pick

The St. Louis Rams suddenly have the most intriguing young backfield in the NFL. The team pulled off perhaps the biggest surprise of the 2015 NFL Draft by taking running back Todd Gurley with the 10th overall pick. Gurley will pair with Tre Mason to form one of the fastest, most fun running back tandems in some time. The last time St. Louis drafted No. 10 overall, they selected a future Hall of Fame running back in Jerome Bettis. Gurley is the first running back to be selected in the first round since 2012. And he will fit in well in the NFC West, where the Rams are building their team in the image of the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. While the Rams are still searching for a franchise quarterback, Nick Foles is an upgrade from Shaun Hill. And Jeff Fisher wants to win by running the ball and counting on his talented pass rush. Gurley tore his ACL at Georgia, but that did not crush his draft stock. Reconstructive knee surgery is no longer viewed as a career-killer, and Gurley showed top pick potential before his injury. He can make defenders miss in small spaces and has rare lateral agility. His rare blend of power and speed should make him a three down back. NFL Media’s Albert Breer reports that Gurley was the top overall player on their board. Mason will now be moved to a reserve role, but this says nothing about his skill level. It’s just a reflection of how much the Rams loved Gurley. Third-string reserve Zac Stacy, who had nearly 1,000 yards in 2013, knows that he is in trouble.

That’s pure speculation.. which is all these sports journalists engage in.  They really have no clue.  Anyway, it’s an exciting pick, and I watched it live earlier this evening.  Looking forward to the next round.  GO RAMS!!!!     🙂

Inside The Army’s Spectacular Hidden Treasure Room

Remember that ending scene out of Indiana Jones where the Ark of the Covenant is boxed up and wheeled through an endless government warehouse? Did you know that that place actually exists? It is called the Center of Military History. It is located 30 minutes outside Washington, D.C., at Fort Belvoir in Virginia. The building itself is very nondescript…

Blue Origin Successfully Tests New Shephard Rocket in West Texas – Could Blast Tourists Into Space Soon

The dawn of a new era of space travel may be upon us after Amazon’s Jeff Bezos successfully tested a vehicle that will take tourists into space. Mr Bezos’ firm, called the Blue Origin company, has long spoken of its desire to take paying astronauts into the cosmos. And now it has performed the first successful test of the vehicle they hope will make that dream a reality. The test took place from the company’s launch site in West Texas. Called New Shepard, the vehicle consists of a main booster rocket and a six-seater capsule on top, standing 60ft (18 metres) tall. For this, the first test flight of the entire architecture, it was unmanned – but the company hopes to soon start taking customers into space.

Obama Administration rejects request to investigate guest-worker program abuse

The Obama administration this week rejected a request from Congress to investigate potential abuses in the country’s key guest-worker program for tech workers, insisting it would “be premature” to look into Southern California Edison’s use of the controversial H-1B visa to outsource jobs. A bipartisan group of senators, led by Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions and Democratic Sen. Richard J. Durbin, had asked for a probe after SCE employees testified they were booted from jobs and replaced with guest-workers. Leon Rodriguez, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said his agency takes such allegations seriously — but said there isn’t enough evidence for him to look into SCE right now. “At this point it would be premature for USCIS to speculate as to whether Southern California Edison’s participation in the H-1B program has violated laws,” Mr. Rodriguez wrote. “If facts come to our attention that indicate violations have occurred, USCIS will take appropriate action to maintain the integrity of our programs.” Mr. Durbin and Mr. Sessions were not pleased with the brush-off. “We did not ask for speculation; we asked for an investigation,” they said in a joint statement. They said if the problem is that the law doesn’t allow an investigation, then they should change the law. But they said Mr. Rodriguez didn’t even explain his reason for declining to probe SCE. Tech workers at a number of companies have said they’ve seen their jobs cut, only to have their former employers turn around and hire foreign workers who are in the U.S. on H-1B visas, which are reserved for high-skilled employees. Software and technology companies are heavy users of H-1B visas. SCE workers testified to Congress that not only did they lose jobs, but they had to train foreign workers who replaced them.

That should make every hard working American citizen want to vomit!  Obama doesn’t care one bit about actual working Americans.  He just wants to flood out country with more immigrants (legal and illegal) than our infrastructure can possibly handle for purely political reasons.  This has to stop!

Deportations Under Obama Forecasted to be Lowest in a Decade

As the immigration debate continues to polarize the nation, the Obama Administration is on course to have the lowest number of deportations in a decade. An estimated 236,000 deportations are expected by the end of September, the end of the government fiscal year. This puts the Department of Homeland Security on course to have the lowest number of deportations since 2006, when they only deported 207, 776 aliens, an investigation by the Associated Press revealed. The diminishing number of deportations comes despite a shift in human smuggling routes that sent hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to the Rio Grande Valley. This created a humanitarian crisis due to DHS lacking the facilities to house so many detainees. Breitbart Texas‘ Managing Director Brandon Darby put a national spotlight on the detention issue last year by leaking photographs of migrant children packed into cramped tiny detention areas. The diminishing number of deportations also comes at a time when Obama’s Department of Justice is fighting 26 states in federal court over the implementation of an execitove amnesty measure ordered by the President. As Breitbart Texas previously reported, a federal judge has temporarily halted the President’s amnesty program with an injunction, and admonished the Justice Department for making false statements to get around the injunction. Homeland Security is current averaging 19,730 deportations per month since the start of the fiscal year in October 2014. Breitbart Texas was there when Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson visited the U.S. Border Patrol station in McAllen late last year, to announce new enforcement standards focused on identifying and deporting aliens with criminal records. Johnson didn’t mention this policy would discourage agents from enforcing immigration laws against illegal immigrants without prior criminal convictions. That issue was brought to light by Breitbart Texas’ Brandon Darby, who again published a leaked series of memos instructing agents to ignore various areas of immigration law.

OBAMA vs. REAGAN on GDP GROWTH — NOT EVEN CLOSE

Ronald Reagan’s economic plan saw GDP surge at a 3.5% clip – 4.9% after the recession. That’s a 32% bump. During the Obama years, thanks to his big government policies, the US economy has stalled. Today the quarterly GDP was announced. The GDP for the first quarter of 2015 braked more sharply than expected at only a .2% pace. The US economy has grown an anemic 9.6% during the Obama years (excluding today’s dismal number). Of course, Obama’s record on job growth is also much worse than President Reagan’s record. Net job growth has declined under Obama. By the end of the second year of their terms as president, economic growth under Reagan averaged 7.1% , under Obama an anemic 2.8%. And today, more than five years into the tepid recovery, labor-force participation remains at its lowest level since 1978 during the Carter years.

Still not convinced?  Well, a picture is definitely worth a thousand words.  Just click on the text above to see the graph.  It speaks for itself, and is devastating to Obama and his failed policies and agenda.

White House dismisses talk of Texas takeover; state Guard to ‘monitor’ federal troops

The White House tried to reassure Americans and the governor of Texas Wednesday that a planned special U.S. military training operation in several southwestern states is no cause for alarm. “In no way will the constitutional rights or civil liberties of any American citizen be infringed upon while this exercise is being conducted,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. The military exercise is called Operation Jade Helm 15, and will involve about 1,200 special forces training over eight weeks that will simulate special operations in hostile territory. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered members of the Texas State Guard to “monitor” the federal troops in the upcoming two-month training exercise. The plans have raised fears among some Texans of a federal occupation. Asked by a reporter in the White House press corps whether Texans were expressing “paranoia” or whether their concerns were justified, Mr. Earnest refuted reports that the special forces would be “incognito.” “My understanding is that the individuals who are participating in the exercise won’t be traveling incognito, that they’ll be wearing armbands,” he said. As for the governor, Mr. Earnest said, “I have no idea what he’s thinking.” Then he added to the laughter of many reporters at the White House, “I might have an idea of what he’s thinking, but I’m not going to…” His voice trailed off.

Very funny, Josh. I’m sure the good people of Texas find this all very amusing…you obnoxious, arrogant tool. Good for Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) for having the Texas National Guard “monitor” what’s going on, and giving the citizens in Texas some peace of mind. We’ll do the same here at The Daily Buzz. Count on it!

Reid dead set against GOP’s first unified budget in six years

Congress released a unified budget for the first time in six years on Wednesday, as Republican negotiators sought to cut health and welfare spending, repeal Obamacare and use a budgetary end-round to boost defense. The House wasted no time in allocating 2016 funds, taking up bills to fund energy and veterans’ programs hours after Sen. Bob Corker, Tennessee Republican, signed the budget resolution despite complaining it relied on too many “gimmicks.” His approval cleared the way for each chamber to vote on the non-binding blueprint and forge ahead with a dozen appropriations bills that must overcome a Democratic filibuster and win President Obama’s approval to become law. Republican negotiators said the final budget, the result of closed-door negotiations, would slash spending by $5 trillion over 10 years while erasing deficits over that period without raising taxes. It also instructs two Senate committees and three House committees to use a fast-track budget tool known as reconciliation to seek repeal Obamacare, even though the effort faces a certain presidential veto. “Now that the Senate is under new management, we are getting back to work rebuilding the trust of hard-working Americans and doing the people’s business,” said Senate Budget Chairman Mike Enzi, Utah Republican said, boasting negotiators produced a balance budget for the first time since 2001. A spokesman for Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, California Republican, said the House will vote on the budget resolution Friday, and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said he wants to vote on it this week. Already, the Republican-driven plan is running into staunch opposition. The White House threatened to veto funding bills the House took up this week, and congressional Democrats railed against the plan as a one-sided bid to put the wealthy over middle class Americans. “The Republican budget isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. It’s gonna go nowhere,” said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat. They are demanding dollar-for-dollar increases in defense and domestic spending that would lift so-called sequester caps the parties agreed to in 2011. As it stands, the GOP plan boosts defense spending by adding nearly $40 billion beyond what Mr. Obama requested for an overseas war account that will not count against the sequester. Mr. McCarth said the caps will stay in place because Mr. Obama is likely to demand tax increases as a way to pay for new spending. Republican budget negotiators had to wait until mid-week to release the blueprint after Mr. Corker refused to sign the conference report. The Tennessee lawmaker wavered in part because the deal used Changes in Mandatory Programs, or CHIMPS, which delay mandatory spending to free up money for other priorities. Critics say it is a phony maneuver that simply delays budgetary pain or results in no actual savings. Mr. Corker did not appear to win any major concessions from the budget conference but vowed to push harder next year. “There is no question this budget is far from perfect, but it is some progress since it has been a long time since the Congress has completed this basic part of governing,” Mr. Corker said. “I have had conversations on both sides of the Capitol laying out what I believe we need to do to prepare for next year’s budget process so that we can make much greater progress toward addressing the tremendous fiscal challenges our country faces.”

Agreed. And MAJOR kudos to Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) for pushing this train in the right direction. He is exactly right. This is FAR from perfect. But, at least the new majority in BOTH chambers of Congress is TRYING to get back to balancing the budget for the first time since 2001, and to cut back on the grotesque waste fraud and abuse of domestic spending that Obama and his Dem cronies in Congress have been spending the last 6+ years under the mismanagement of Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV). Of course this is FAR from over, and we can expect a veto or two from our fascist-in-chief. But, hey.. It’s a step in the right direction. Stay tuned…
