WURD radio in Philadelphia, the only black-owned talk radio station in Pennsylvania, fired the host who revealed that Joe Biden gave her eight questions to choose from when she interviewed him. It’s hard to call it an interview. It’s like watching him read off the teleprompter. According to WURD, the radio host of “The Source,” […] The post Radio Host Who Exposed Biden’s Scripted Questions Is Fired appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) deflected from concerns about President Joe Biden’s mental ability to continue serving as president by saying that if former President Donald Trump took a cognitive test that it would show he has some sort of “serious illness” Schiff made the remarks during a Sunday interview on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” with Kristen Welker when asked if Biden should remain at the top of the ticket following his disastrous debate performance a week and a half ago. “Well, ultimately, this is a decision President Biden is going to have to make and President Biden alone,” he said. “But I would say this. He has been an extraordinary president. He has created millions and millions of jobs. He has expanded and strengthened our NATO alliances. He has brought back manufacturing in this country. He has brought about the most aggressive attack on climate change. He has done more in one term than most presidents ever do, no matter how many terms they get.” “And he’s running against someone who’s a pathological liar, someone who ran the country into the ground by his mishandling of a deadly pandemic, someone who is a pathological – not only a pathological liar, but is immoral, indecent, and unfit for office,” he continued. “But the performance on the debate stage, I think, rightfully raised questions among the American people about whether the president has the vigor to defeat Donald Trump. And this is an existential race. Given Joe Biden’s incredible record, given Donald Trump’s terrible record, he should be mopping the floor with Donald Trump. Joe Biden’s running against a criminal. It should not be even close. And there’s only one reason it is close, and that’s the president’s age. And what I would say, Kristen, what I would advise the president, is seek out the opinions of people you trust. He’s obviously talked to his family about this. And that’s important. But he should seek out people with some distance and objectivity. He should seek out pollsters who are not his own pollsters. He should take a moment to make the best informed judgment. And if the judgment is run, then run hard and beat that S.O.B.” When asked if Biden should take a cognitive test, Schiff said: “I’d be happy if both the president and Donald Trump took cognitive tests.” “I think they both should be willing to take a test,” he said. “I think, frankly, a test would show Donald Trump has serious illness of one kind or another. But, ultimately, the decision is going to come down to what Joe Biden thinks is best. And if his decision is to run, then run hard and beat that S.O.B. And if his decision is to pass the torch, then the president should do everything in his power to make that other candidate successful.” WATCH:

Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) claimed over the weekend that all her constituents are confused about why some in the party and the media are trying to force President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race, saying that they all continue to support Biden. Dingell made the remarks during a Sunday panel discussion on CNN’s “State of the Union” while talking about the fallout from Biden’s disastrous debate performance. “I have heard many people express their concern. They’re worried about democracy,” she said. “I think that one of the things you have to really understand, even my colleagues are worried about what’s going to happen and what will happen to democracy.” She continued: “But I will tell you, I had people in parades shout at me: ‘Tell him to stay. We have his back.’ Union halls: ‘Why are people saying this?'” WATCH: Rep. @DebDingell: Voters in battleground MI are shouting at me in parades and union halls: “Tell @JoeBiden to stay, we have his back.” pic.twitter.com/d7KdyCj0wY — Julia Hamelburg (@juliahamelburg) July 7, 2024 She added that Democrats needed to change the subject instead of continuing to focus on Biden’s cognitive decline. “We got to stop talking about this. We spent a whole week. Republicans are having a great time,” she said, later adding that “I now am going to go forget the debate.” WATCH: Rep.

BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM Hydrogen generation is frequently cited as a critical component in the shift to renewable energy. However, according to a paper published in Nature Energy by Kiane de Kleijne of Radboud University and Eindhoven University of Technology, the technique has several downsides. De Kleijne emphasizes that hydrogen production frequently raises atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, owing to the fact that it is obtained mostly from natural gas. “Green hydrogen often, but certainly not always, leads to CO2 gains,” De Kleijne says. This is related not only to the carbon footprint of building facilities powered by renewable energy sources such as solar and wind but also to the fact that these sources are most efficient in sun-rich and windy locations such as Africa and Brazil. Transporting hydrogen from these places to where it is needed increases its carbon footprint. Iridium: a rare obstacle The proton-exchange membrane (PEM) technology, which uses water electrolysis, is one of the more environmentally friendly methods of producing hydrogen. While PEM is environmentally favorable because the only byproduct is oxygen, it is primarily reliant on iridium, one of the rarest metals on Earth, making scaling difficult. A promising new approach Researchers from the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in Spain have devised a game-changing answer to this dilemma. They hope to make PEM more scalable and less reliant on rare resources by developing an anode catalyst made of more common elements such as cobalt and tungsten. The novel strategy entails impregnating a cobalt-tungsten oxide with water, the very substance in which it functions. “At the beginning of the project, we were intrigued about the potential role of water itself as the elephant in the room in water electrolysis,” said Ranit Ram, the study’s first author. “No one before had actively tailored water and interfacial water in this way.” The aqueous shield As the anode degrades and loses material during the electrolysis process, water and hydroxide fill the gaps, forming a protective aqueous shield. This unique technology considerably delays the anode’s breakdown, increasing the process’s efficiency and longevity. “We increased five times the current density, arriving to 1 A/cm² – a very challenging landmark in the field,” said Dr. Lu Xia, the study’s leading co-author. “But the key is that we also reached more than 600 hours of stability at such high density. So, we have reached the highest current density and also the highest stability for non-iridium catalysts.” Beyond cobalt: exploring alternatives While the water-impregnated cobalt-tungsten alloy has shown potential, cobalt’s mining processes raise ethical problems. To remedy this, the ICFO team is looking into alternative materials. According to ICFO professor García de Arquer, even if cobalt is more abundant than iridium, its origin remains a source of concern. “That is why we are working on alternatives based on manganese, nickel, and many other materials. We will go through the whole periodic table, if necessary. And we are going to explore and try with them this new strategy to design catalysts that we have reported in our study.” Future implications The ICFO researchers’ achievement may pave the path for more sustainable and scalable hydrogen generation. By reducing reliance on rare metals and boosting the stability and efficiency of PEM processes, this breakthrough has the potential to make hydrogen a more feasible green energy source globally. The global quest for sustainable energy alternatives drives academics to constantly rethink and innovate. This novel technique of hydrogen manufacturing, which focuses on common materials and the strategic use of water, is a huge step toward making green hydrogen more accessible and environmentally beneficial. By addressing both the carbon impact and the material shortage challenges connected with hydrogen production, this innovative approach provides a potential road forward. Continued study and development in this area are required to fulfill hydrogen’s full potential as a clean energy resource.
