Lenoir Internal Combustion Engine

Wikipedia:

Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoir was a Belgian engineer who developed the internal combustion engine in 1858. Prior designs for such engines were patented as early as 1807 (De Rivaz engine), but none were commercially successful. Lenoir’s engine was commercialized in sufficient quantities to be considered a success, a first for the internal combustion engine.

      The phrasing ‘Ancient Relics Are So Advanced They Shouldn’t Exist’ translates to;
      The accredited college expert was unaware of the item due to lack of written history, so it didn’t exist. It must therefore be “aliens”

        Fits right in there…..and it would probably be best if you took a short break from the History Channel. Giorgio Tsoukalos can afford a better hairdo now but that doesn’t make him a scientist.

      So I listened to the whole lecture. The clockwork-calculator story is good. The document story has one flaw in the proof, it presumes the paper dating to 1400’s is the same as the writing date. Several forgeries in art have been discovered to have been created on older canvases, so why not consider this one was drawn up after telescopes & microscopes were invented. He just skipped over that possibility, and proposed a space alien stranded on earth wrote it.

  5. Morning Everyone!

    Here is a cover illustration by Richard Amundsen. The magazine is addressed to someone in Massachusetts, back when many towns in Mass, still had gun clubs and hunters.

    Have a great day everyone! 🙂 I’m out to tie everything down outside!

      I loved Field & Stream as a kid, I’d grab every new copy right off the stand and devour it. I’d put myself in the hunting and fishing articles, seeing myself in a red plaid jacket, canvas pants and lace-up knee-high boots – stalking my moose in the wilds of Maine. Reality was we were in a midsize Connecticut town where there was no private land and you had to go to Maine to get a quality hunt, and that wasn’t going to happen.

      I wonder if this Amundsen is any relation to Roald Amundsen. Though it may be a very common name in Norway, that’s the first time I’ve heard it outside of reading about the polar explorer.

      If you’ve never seen THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH, a British TV series (with a smallish part played by Hugh Grant before he was well-known) about the race to the South Pole between Amundsen and Brit Robert Scott, you must get it. Absolutely excellent and filmed at the South Pole. I VHS taped every single episode in the 1980s.

      The actor who plays Amundsen is Sverre Anker Ousdal and Scott is portrayed by Martin Shaw, who has been in numerous British TV series.

    Let’s take a look at some of the Democratic strategies, lies, defamation, dirty tactics and other nonsense that have been employed to stop President Trump, our duly elected POTUS from carrying out the will of the American people.
     

    Russia controls President Trump. Vote Democrat!

    2) The Gargoyle of North Korea has bested POTUS. Vote Democrat! 

    3) Kavanaugh the sexual predator will never be confirmed. Vote Democrat! 

    4) NAFTA ! There will be bread lines! Vote Democrat! 

    5) Fake pipe bombs mailed to people who threatened violence against President Trump and or his supporters. Vote Democrat! 

    6) President Trump is going to start World War lll !  Vote Democrat!

    7) President Trump encourages violence! Vote Democrat!

    8) President Trump is a Nazi! Vote Democrat! 

    9) President Trump is mean to the MSM! Vote Democrat ! 

    10) White Supremacy is flourishing under President Trump! Vote Democrat!

    11) Women will not be able to kill their babies !  Vote Democrat!

    12) China controls President Trump! Vote Democrat!

    13) Socialism is beautiful! Vote Democrat! Vote Democrat! 

    14) Beto is used by all Roberts even white Irish boys it is not cultural appropriation when a democrat does it! Vote Democrat!

    15) The caravan of criminals and everyday people marching to breach our border should be given jobs, money, care, insurance and all other material help from the United States rather than that money improving the lives of the people who earned it, combat veterans or the lives of Americans truly in need. Vote Democrat! 

    16) It is mean to call people who torture people to death animals! MS-13 boys deserve every kindness we can show them! Vote Democrat! 

    17) Your taxes are too low, we need to raise them so that we can give the money to people who wish to destroy our country!  Vote Democrat!

    18) Our prisons should be emptied, too many people are just misunderstood! Vote Democrat!

    19) Impeach Trump because he is exposing the fitly vile underbelly of the political elites and making it more difficult for them to steal tax payers money and get lucrative speech money and even cutting sweetheart deals for family members. Vote Democrat!

    20) Trump supporters are Nazis, racists, misogynists, dregs, xenophobes and puppy killers! Vote Democrat!

    21) President Trump is putting Constitutionalists on SCOTUS. The Justices will interpret law not contort law to fit the whims of liberals!  Vote Democrat!

    22) We will abolish the Electoral College and move to a true democracy where tyranny of the majority is the law of the land!  Vote Democrat!

    23) We will amend the Constitution to demand that we be a land of men not laws! Vote Democrat! 

    24) Guilty by accusation for people we consider our political opponents will be the law of the land! Vote Democrat! 

    25) President Trump has not revealed his taxes! Vote Democrat!

    26) The charming, intelligent and rational Rosie O, Maddona, Michael Moore, Don Lemon, Robert Denaro, Linda Sasour, Anderson Cooper, Jim Acosta, April Ryan, Johnny Dep,John Legend, Katty Perry, Sarah Silverman, Trevor Noah, Meryl Streep (who gave a standing ovation for a child rapist), Miley Cyrus, Lena Dunham, Alec Baldwin, Amy Schumer, Chelsea Handler, Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, Lady Gaga, George Takei et al hate President Trump! Vote Democrat! 

    27) Abortionists will go broke and not be able to trade baby parts for Lamborghinis! Vote Democrat!

    28) President Trump is orange and his hair!!!! Vote Democrat!

    29) If you believe that black people belong on the Democratic Plantation and that White democrats should demand through violence, intimidation and manipulation that black people not think for themselves but continue voting for the empty promises of the Left then vote democrat. People like Kanye West, Candance Owens, Herman Caine, Ben Carson, Wayne Dupree, Hershel Walker, Dennis Rodman, Stacey Dash, Mike Tyson, Terrell Owens, Latrell Sprewell, Diamond and Silk, Azalea Banks, Mark Burns, John Gray, Alveda King, Bishop Harry Jackson, CJ Pearson, Quaterrius Manuel et al, have no right to speak their minds, no right to leave the Democrat Plantation, no right to be emancipated from their democratic masters! Vote Democrat! 

    30)  Un-vetted Muslims can never ever be terrorist, ISIS members and other Islamist extremists should not be kept out of America. Not allowing every and all Muslim into the country, even those with pro ISIS material on their phones is xenophobic and religious bigotry! Vote Democrat!

    31) Totalitarianism is the bright shinning beacon of our future! we will give you rice on Tuesdays and a double portion on our dictators birthday! Vote Democrat!

    32) Since before President Trump was elected Democrats have been part of a coup to unseat a duly elected president of the United States of America! They have not rested for a minute to nullify the votes of 63 million American citizens! Vote Democrat! 

    33) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is brilliant and those choppers! Vote Democrat! 

    34) Spartacus is on our side and he only grabbed a gay man’s package because it looked suspicious! Vote Democrat! 

    35) Keith Ellison will be our the Secretary of Domestic Abuse! Vote Democrat! 

    36) We will bring Bill and Hillary Clinton back to DC! Free interns for Bill! Hillary may be in an Iron Lung but she will be there! Vote Democrat! 

    38) Maxine Waters will continue to represent and empower the poor folks in her district, bettering their lives by living like an oligarch queen spewing violent rhetoric  against American citizens as her constituents live in squalor, but, because Maxine represents them they will also live in hope! Vote Democrat!

    39) Michelle Obama will bring her concentration lunches to all schools everywhere by decree of her majestic hand! Vote Democrat!

    40)Debbie Wasserman Schultz has already proven that she can steal an election and simultaneously spit in the faces of democrats who simply vote for the wrong democrat. Vote Democrat! 

    41) Anthony Weiner, our very own sexual predator, who sexted with a minor will be out of jail soon and it would make him really happy if democrats gained some power! Vote Democrat! 

    42) We will demand justice and investigations for supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood when they are murdered. We will ignore it when people like Ambassador Christopher Stevens are allowed to be savagely slaughtered because it will be politically expedient for us to do so. Morality, US  law, objective standards and honesty will never be a decider in our determination to politicize whose life we decide is important to be outraged about. 

    43) People like this are the face of the Democratic party! This person embodies liberal values and is the poster girl for the Democrat party, we need more people like her in America! Vote Democrat! 

    Let’s now look at the success rate of each of these strategies;

    I love the smell of Democrats still fighting like they live in a Pre-Trump world in the morning!

    Electoral execution of the democrats will save the Republic!

    Good morning,

    I was over here seeing what people had to say when my husband said “they’ve arrested someone in Florida.”

    Just like my beloved ADHD grand puppy I was off to see what was happening over there on the other sites. After checking a few, no one knows anything other than the arrest. We’ll have to wait until this afternoon’s news conference to get the next drip drip of info.

    Anyway, lock them up! Throw away the key!

    CTH has videos on Sec. Nielsen posted this morning. They are good.

    The Secretary partially answers the question on what the military will do. She said DHS has requested air support, planning, and vehicle barriers to protect the ports of entry and the Border Patrol officers. Gen. Mattis will decide what will be provided.

    She said too that the BP will send anyone home that crosses illegally.

    WooHoo on the air support. That means all the little splinter groups can be tracked from the air and intercepted on the ground. Hallelujah! Praise God! Please God, please protect all the men and women who protect our country. Please God, send the invasion force home and let President Trump come to them to offer aid as he has done with Mexico through the USMCA. In Jesus name, amen.

    OMG I just heard Kris Wallace and Shepard Smith go at it on Shep’s show. Shep kept trying to say it was P.Trump’s rhetoric that was at fault. Wallace disagreed. They must have gone round and round about 8 times. Wallace said you can’t say that because you can’t put the blame on one person for what another does. Shep kept saying he wasn’t and then would repeat that it was what P.Trump said. LOL

    Regarding Sheppard Smith’s remarks:

    https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2018/10/25/nolte-establishment-media-exploit-bomb-scare-bully-trump-silence/

    FTA:

    “And what gall, especially when you remember that all of this is coming from the same corrupt media that have rigorously ignored, downplayed, excused, justified, and even encouraged the epidemic of violence, vandalism, and harassment Trump supporters have faced during the last few years. About 610 separate incidents by our count, including the mass murder attempt at a baseball field full of Republican lawmakers, including ricin and white powder mailed to Republican senators and the president’s own family.”

    I’m not going to look it up now but there was one Rep candidates who’s 7 children were threatened. Sometimes Mr. Smith need to have recordings of incidents run through their brain 24 hours a day to help them keep up and understand Mr. Wallace’s remarks.

    As Press Sec. Sanders said yesterday in her news conference she is the first WH Press Secretary to ever require Secret Service protection. Please remember that the need for protection is because she has described the good job the President has done.

    Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.

    Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.

    Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.

    Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
    Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.

    We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
    Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
