A load of leftists screeched into the ether Monday night after Mike Lindell, CEO of My Pillow, who has pledged to use his factories to make 50,000 N95 masks every day for healthcare workers, was given a platform by President Trump, which he used to praise God.
My Pillow announced last week that it was shifting 75 percent of its production capacity to making the medical masks. It joined other companies such as Ford, United Technologies Corporation, Honeywell, and Proctor and Gamble in joining the cause to protect Americans against the deadly Chinese virus.
No matter for leftists, because Mr Lindell likes Trump, and also believes in God.
Oh the horror!
The My Pillow guy Mike Lindell says this: “God gave us grace on November 8, 2016, to change the course we were on. God had been taken out of our schools & lives, a nation had turned its back on God. I encourage you to use this time at home to get back in the word. Read our Bible” pic.twitter.com/tRdlubE08u — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) March 30, 2020
Trump showcasing executives from all these private companies instead of talking about government efforts is a reflection of how little his administration is doing to respond to the coronavirus — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) March 30, 2020
And now the My Pillow guy is urging us all to return to God and read our Bibles at home, as we realize how amazing Trump’s glorious leadership has been, and no, I am absolutely not kidding, and my God, we are all going to die. — Kevin M. Kruse (@KevinMKruse) March 30, 2020
Trump just had the My Pillow guy speak. The My Pillow Guy. These aren’t press conferences to calm the American people. They’re infomercials for Trump and his friends.#StopAiringTrump — Nick Jack Pappas (@Pappiness) March 30, 2020
I’m a proponent of TV carrying Trump’s presser. But allowing corporations to use them as advertising platforms seems like the exact opposite of news. — Sam Stein (@samstein) March 30, 2020
Trump now has the guy from My Pillow doing a campaign commercial for Trump’s 2020 campaign in the middle of a press conference about a deadly virus. How can any real news network air this BS?! #StopAiringTrump — (((DeanObeidallah))) (@DeanObeidallah) March 30, 2020
Trump is letting leaders of corporations speak. This is supposed to be an update on the coronavirus by doctors for the American people. Not a way to applaud Trump and his donors. And not one word about the thousands of Americans who have died. This is demented. #StopAiringTrump — Scott Dworkin (@funder) March 30, 2020
Reminder: We live tweet these clips to fact them. Trump has the My Pillow guy (Mike Lindell) briefing the nation on the pandemic. Lindell gave $100,000 to the Trump Victory committee in 2018. pic.twitter.com/SzVWV2t3Wi — Sarah Reese Jones (@PoliticusSarah) March 30, 2020

Dear Trumpists, *this* is why media doesn’t want to cover your God-Emperor’s coronavirus rallies: because the g*ddamned My Pillow CEO was holding forth from the lectern on a day that 500+ Americans died and 20,000+ got sick from the virus the briefing was *intended* to focus on. https://t.co/z7FSMxLwUi — Seth Abramson (@🏠) (@SethAbramson) March 30, 2020

At least @CNN cut away as soon as he took the podium. — Victoria Brownworth ☣ #FlattenTheCurve #StayHome (@VABVOX) March 30, 2020
WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH…
Ok leftists, gather up your crayons and take notes…
Now they’re mad at Trump for allowing the My Pillow founder, someone who changed 75% of his factories over to mask production, 50,000 of which a day will go to front line medical workers, to speak at the White House. Does your derangement stop at nothing?#StopAiringTrump — Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) March 30, 2020
I actually love that the WH briefing included CEO’s, each of whom explained how their business is joining America’s all-hands-on-deck effort to fight Coronavirus — in which the private sector has been & will be absolutely vital. — Guy Benson (@guypbenson) March 30, 2020
While @CNN was cutting away from “The My Pillow Guy” @realMikeLindell announced that he is producing 10,000 masks a day and is aiming to start producing 50,000 per day by Friday to help in the fight against the Coronavirus.

Media: WHY WON’T TRUMP GIVE MASKS AND VENTILATORS TO DOCTORS AND NURSES!?
Trump: This company is now making masks and ventilators.
CEO: Here’s what we’re doing to make more masks and ventilators.
MEDIA: OMG WHY ARE TRUMP AND THESE EVIL CEOS TALKING ABOUT MASKS AND VENTILATORS!? — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) March 30, 2020
An American small businessman gets invited to the White House to talk about how his company is stepping up to help the crisis and the blue check mark brigade savages him online. — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) March 30, 2020
Having an Executive Editor of CNN belittling a small businessman whose company is shifting gears to make masks for nurses and doing the belittling by retweeting a partisan hack from Vox is everything wrong with the media right now. https://t.co/koTlJoI5u2 — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) March 30, 2020
The same press that bashes American citizens when they dare criticize overtly biased reporting turn to bashing American companies for having the audacity to shift production and make supplies desperately needed by doctors and nurses.

A New York hospital executive has been fired after she posted public comments on social media fantasising about how supporters of President Trump would get the coronavirus and not be allowed to get treatment .
The executive also happens to be , unsurprisingly , a former Hillary Clinton advisor .
Laura Krolczyk , Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center ’ s vice president for external affairs , made the incendiary posts on Facebook , first sharing an article about The White House being reluctant to foot the $ 1 billion cost associated with producing ventilators .
Hauptman Woodward Medical Research Institute @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Krolczyk ’ s post , writing “ But will waste more than that on a wall and space force.
” Krolczyk , who worked as Western New York Regional Director for Hillary Clinton ’ s Senate office for 7 years , wrote back that “ Trump supporters need to pledge to give up their ventilators for someone else … and not go to the hospital.
” “ Also don ’ t cash your stimulus check , ” she later added , writing “ It ’ s all a hoax .
Chew some ibuprofen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ LaTrovato further responded “ I think they should be the only ones in packed churches on Sunday , ” to which Krolczyk replied , “ They should barricade themselves in there and ride this out.
” Another Facebook user saw the exchange , wrote “ Wow , just wow , so your saying we decide who lives and dies based on political views ?
Great plan ( thumbs up emoji ) .
” Krolczyk then responded “ That ’ s literally what he ’ s saying .
Take your ‘ wow ’ and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Your hero is saying YOU don ’ t need a ventilator .
So don ’ t take one.
” The whole sorry conversation was then picked up by Republican strategist Michael Caputo , and the hospital was alerted .
While LaTrovato is still on administrative leave from Hauptman Woodward pending further action , Krolczyk has been terminated by Roswell Park .
In a statement to Buffalo News , spokeswoman Annie Deck-Miller confirmed Krolczyk had been fired .
CEO Candace S. Johnson added that “ This behavior is not tolerated at Roswell Park .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ way that does not accord with that commitment , we will take swift and appropriate action , just as we did in this instance.
” Someone ought to tell Ms. Krolczyk that when engaging in her daily two minutes of Trump derangement hate , try to do it in private , rather than on her publicly available facebook page .
Meanwhile , she should definitely make sure she does cash her stimulus check , as it ’ ll be her only income for a while .

newswars--2020-03-31--Media Melts Down Over My Pillow CEO Taking Part In White House Coronavirus Briefing

The mainstream media descended into a rage when My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell announced during the daily White House corona task force briefing that he has repurposed his factories to produce tens of thousands of surgical face masks for medial workers .
Lindell was one of several CEOs to join the coronavirus task force briefing on Monday to announce that his factories have begun producing 10,000 face masks a day with plans to ramp up production to over 50,000 a day .
But talking heads and “ journalists ” from The New York Times , CNN , MSNBC and others @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump supporter and Christian , would dare invoke God and offer his expertise to help during this unprecedented crisis .
Thankfully , many on Twitter saw through the feigned outrage .
Rather than celebrate this example of the private sector stepping up in this hour of need for the nation , the media is more focused on bashing anybody aligned with the Trump administration or its effort to help the American people .
In another example , the media demonized President Trump for promoting hydroxychloroquine as a potential remedy for combating the coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drug for emergency treatment on Monday .
A collection of MSM talking heads and leftist idols that are wishing for a recession and more corona-virus deaths so Trump can be voted out of office .

Border agents are taking an average of just 96 minutes to deport illegal aliens they apprehend under new federal rules implemented due to the coronavirus crisis , according to reports .
Illegal migrants from Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries of Central America – El Salvador , Guatemala , and Honduras – are now being processed “ in the field , ” and quickly sent back into Mexico , the Washington Post reports , citing multiple anonymous officials .
Over 85 percent of migrants being taken into custody reportedly fall into the aforementioned category .
Authorities are no longer obligated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ significantly speeding up processing protocols .
“ The goal is to minimize the exposure to the alien , agent and our country , ” a Customs and Border Protection official said .
While Mexico says it is evaluating returnees on a “ case by case ” basis , U.S. officials assert that Mexican authorities are accepting virtually all deportees who come from the four agreed-upon countries .
“ U.S .
authorities say the goal of the emergency model is to reduce the number of detainees in U.S. custody and minimize the risk of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immigration jails , ” the Post reports .
“ The emergency measures did not initially apply to unaccompanied minors taken into custody after crossing the border without a parent .

Border agents are taking an average of just 96 minutes to deport illegal aliens they apprehend under new federal rules implemented due to the coronavirus crisis, according to reports.
Illegal migrants from Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries of Central America – El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras – are now being processed “in the field,” and quickly sent back into Mexico, the Washington Post reports, citing multiple anonymous officials.
Over 85 percent of migrants being taken into custody reportedly fall into the aforementioned category.
Authorities are no longer obligated to arrange medical screenings for illegals, significantly speeding up processing protocols.
“The goal is to minimize the exposure to the alien, agent and our country,” a Customs and Border Protection official said.
While Mexico says it is evaluating returnees on a “case by case” basis, U.S. officials assert that Mexican authorities are accepting virtually all deportees who come from the four agreed-upon countries.
“U.S. authorities say the goal of the emergency model is to reduce the number of detainees in U.S. custody and minimize the risk of spreading infections across border stations and throughout immigration jails,” the Post reports.
“The emergency measures did not initially apply to unaccompanied minors taken into custody after crossing the border without a parent. But U.S. authorities said some underage migrants also are eligible for expedited deportation to their home countries.”
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is actively warning migrants not to attempt the journey to the US border, as they will be immediately deported if caught.

newswars--2020-03-31--DOJ Inspector General Finds Widespread Failures With 29 Additional FBI FISA Warrants

In a follow-up audit of the FBI ’ s Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act ( FISA ) abuses against Trump campaign officials , the Justice Department ’ s Inspector General discovered widespread and systemic failures throughout the FBI ’ s FISA warrant application processes over a period of years .
The Office of Inspector General report released Tuesday detailed an audit of all 29 FISA applications under review from 2014-2019 , and concluded it has “ lack of confidence ” in the bureau to properly follow its procedures to validate information .
“ As a result of our audit work to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do not have confidence that the FBI has executed its Woods Procedures in compliance with FBI policy , ” the OIG said in a memo to FBI Director Christopher Wray .
“ Specifically , the Woods Procedures mandate compiling supporting documentation for each fact in the FISA application.

“ We could not review original Woods Files for 4 of the 29 selected FISA applications because the FBI has not been able to locate them and , in 3 of these instances , did not know if they ever existed , ” the report states .
“ FBI and NSD officials we interviewed indicated to us that there were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ existing FBI and NSD oversight mechanisms to perform comprehensive , strategic assessments of the efficacy of the Woods Procedures or FISA accuracy , to include identifying the need for enhancements to training and improvements in the process , or increased accountability measures , ” the report adds .
The IG did not evaluate whether the errors would have changed the FBI ’ s decision to file the applications or the FISA Court ’ s decision to approve them .
The IG report released in December 2019 found the FBI misled the FISC with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ omissions ” in its FISA application of Trump campaign associate Carter Page , prompting the DOJ to invalidate the final two Page FISA warrants .
The massive abuse by the FBI against Donald Trump ’ s campaign prompted Inspector General Michael Horowitz to openly question whether it was an isolated incident or part of a “ wider problem.
” “ The concern is that this is such a high-profile , important case .
If it happened here , is this indicative of a wider problem — and we will only know that when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it isolated to this event ?
” Horowitz told Congress in December .

The IG did not evaluate whether the errors would have changed the FBI’s decision to file the applications or the FISA Court’s decision to approve them.

newswars--2020-03-31--Study: Neutron Star Merger Responsible for Forging Solar System’s Heavy Elements

Scientists are on the hunt for the neutron star merger that provided our solar system with such large quantities of heavy elements .
In a new study , they explain where and when they think this stellar crash took place .
Two neutron stars smashing into each other is quite the rare occurrence ; scientists estimate our galaxy might see one such merger every 100,000 years .

“ It was close , ” Szabolcs Marka , a physicist at Columbia University and the project ’ s lead scientist , told Space.com .
“ If you look up at the sky and you see a neutron-star merger 1,000 light-years away , it would outshine the entire night sky.

The radioactive versions of the different elements formed in the explosion decay at predictable rates , meaning if you know what elements they decay into and you know how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you can figure out how long ago they were all created .
“ There is only one point in time when they all agree , ” he said : about 100 million years before the solar system formed , which itself occurred about 4.6 billion years ago , and the spot where the solar system formed was about 1,000 light-years from where the explosion occurred .

A neutron star is one of the densest objects in the universe, the core of a collapsed star where the matter is packed in so tightly it doesn’t obey normal laws of physics. When two of these bizarre objects attract each other, they slowly spiral inward, toward a huge crash that shoves atoms against one another with such force that it can push them together and make progressively heavier elements.
The hypothesis was first proven accurate in a paper published last October, in which the first neutron star merger ever observed by humans, in 2017, was found to have created strontium, a heavy element found in soil and rock on Earth.
The other method of making big atoms is a supernova, or the massive explosion that comes at the end of a larger star’s life, but the relative scarcity of heavier elements in our solar system suggests their origin to have been a neutron star merger instead.
Most of the elements on the periodic table were forged by these processes; only hydrogen and helium were created by the Big Bang, and the elements with a higher atomic number than plutonium – 94 – are purely artificial, created only in laboratories.

“ A class action lawsuit filed on March 19 accuses the Spanish government — highly ideological by any standard , as the Communist coalition partner , Podemos , was founded with seed money from the Venezuelan government — of knowingly endangering public safety by encouraging the public to participate in more than 75 feminist marches , held across Spain on March 8 , to mark @ @ @ @ @ @ @ writes Soeren Kern .
The rallies were attended by Spain ’ s deputy prime minister , as well as the prime minister ’ s wife and mother .
In Madrid alone , which has been devastated by the coronavirus outbreak , “ Thousands of women marched…against gender inequality to mark International Women ’ s Day , despite concerns the gatherings could help the spread of coronavirus , ” reported Reuters .
According to journalist Matthew Bennett , in an apparent effort to downplay the danger of attending the rallies to the public , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ coronavirus cases between March 6 and March 9 .
Despite numerous warnings , the Spanish government ’ s main point man for the coronavirus , Fernando Simón , told the public there was no risk .
“ If my son asks me if he can go , I will tell him to do whatever he wants , ” said Simón .
One protester at the march even held a sign that said , “ Machismo kills more than coronavirus.
” Spain has now lost over 8,000 people to COVID-19 .
“ The lawsuit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ accuses Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and his representatives in Spain ’ s 17 autonomous regions of “ prevarication ” — a Spanish legal term that means lying and deceiving , ” writes Kern .
“ The government was allegedly so determined to ensure that the feminist marches took place on March 8 that it deliberately downplayed warnings about the pandemic.
” If found guilty , officials will face a penalty of between nine to 15 years of disqualification from public office .
“ The result of the calls for these demonstrations and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the inaction of the central government chaired by the accused , Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez , could not be more antagonistic to what the EU indicated in its report .
Why was not an order issued to prevent any type of mass event ?
” asked Víctor Valladares , a Madrid-based lawyer who is leading the lawsuit .
As we document in the video below , it wasn ’ t just in Spain that political leaders were urging citizens to attend huge rallies and parades right as COVID-19 hit hard .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and leftist activist groups urged Italians to hug Chinese people in the street , despite thousands of Chinese migrant workers in northern Italy having potentially been exposed to COVID-19 .

1. Vamos. Veo a algunos incrédulos con lo de la falta de datos Coronavirus de Sanidad el fin de semana del 8M. Lo vimos en su momento: no hubo actualización entre el viernes 6 a las 18:00 horas hasta el lunes 9 de marzo casi a la hora de comer.

In Italy, the left-wing Mayor of Florence and leftist activist groups urged Italians to hug Chinese people in the street, despite thousands of Chinese migrant workers in northern Italy having potentially been exposed to COVID-19.

newswars--2020-03-31--Warped space-time reveals exoplanets

Warped space-time reveals exoplanets

NASA ’ s Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope ( WFIRST ) will search for planets outside our solar system toward the center of our Milky Way galaxy , where most stars are .
Studying the properties of exoplanet worlds will help us understand what planetary systems throughout the galaxy are like and how planets form and evolve .
Combining WFIRST ’ s findings with results from NASA ’ s Kepler and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite ( TESS ) missions will complete the first planet census that is sensitive to a wide range of planet masses and orbits , bringing us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ worlds beyond our own .
To date , astronomers have found most planets when they pass in front of their host star in events called transits , which temporarily dim the star ’ s light .
WFIRST data can spot transits too , but the mission will primarily watch for the opposite effect—little surges of radiance produced by a light-bending phenomenon called microlensing .
These events are much less common than transits because they rely on the chance alignment of two widely separated and unrelated stars drifting through space .
“ Microlensing signals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but they ’ re stronger than the signals from other methods , ” said David Bennett , who leads the gravitational microlensing group at NASA ’ s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt , Maryland .
“ Since it ’ s a one-in-a-million event , the key to WFIRST finding low-mass planets is to search hundreds of millions of stars.
” In addition , microlensing is better at finding planets in and beyond the habitable zone—the orbital distances where planets might have liquid water on their surfaces .
This effect occurs when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Anything with mass warps the fabric of space-time , sort of like the dent a bowling ball makes when set on a trampoline .
Light travels in a straight line , but if space-time is bent—which happens near something massive , like a star—light follows the curve .
Any time two stars align closely from our vantage point , light from the more distant star curves as it travels through the warped space-time of the nearer star .
This phenomenon , one of the predictions of Einstein ’ s general theory of relativity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sir Arthur Eddington during a total solar eclipse in 1919 .
If the alignment is especially close , the nearer star acts like a natural cosmic lens , focusing and intensifying light from the background star .
Planets orbiting the foreground star may also modify the lensed light , acting as their own tiny lenses .
The distortion they create allows astronomers to measure the planet ’ s mass and distance from its host star .
This is how WFIRST will use microlensing to discover new worlds .
“ Trying to interpret planet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a picture with half of it covered , ” said Matthew Penny , an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge who led a study to predict WFIRST ’ s microlensing survey capabilities .
“ To fully understand how planetary systems form we need to find planets of all masses at all distances .
No one technique can do this , but WFIRST ’ s microlensing survey , combined with the results from Kepler and TESS , will reveal far more of the picture.
” More than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far , but only 86 were found via microlensing .
The techniques commonly used to find other worlds are biased toward planets that tend to be very different from those in our solar system .
The transit method , for example , is best at finding sub-Neptune-like planets that have orbits much smaller than Mercury ’ s .
For a solar system like our own , transit studies could miss every planet .
WFIRST ’ s microlensing survey will help us find analogs to every planet in our solar system except Mercury , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to put it beyond the mission ’ s reach .
WFIRST will find planets that are the mass of Earth and even smaller—perhaps even large moons , like Jupiter ’ s moon Ganymede .
WFIRST will find planets in other poorly studied categories , too .
Microlensing is best suited to finding worlds from the habitable zone of their star and farther out .
This includes ice giants , like Uranus and Neptune in our solar system , and even rogue planets—worlds freely roaming the galaxy unbound to any stars .
While ice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ system , a 2016 study indicated that they may be the most common kind of planet throughout the galaxy .
WFIRST will put that theory to the test and help us get a better understanding of which planetary characteristics are most prevalent .
WFIRST will explore regions of the galaxy that haven ’ t yet been systematically scoured for exoplanets due to the different goals of previous missions .
Kepler , for example , searched a modest-sized region of about 100 square degrees with 100,000 stars at typical distances of around a thousand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sky and tracks 200,000 stars , however their typical distances are around 100 light-years .
WFIRST will search roughly 3 square degrees , but will follow 200 million stars at distances of around 10,000 light years .
Since WFIRST is an infrared telescope , it will see right through the clouds of dust that block other telescopes from studying planets in the crowded central region of our galaxy .
Most ground-based microlensing observations to date have been in visible light , making the center of the galaxy largely uncharted exoplanet territory .
A @ @ @ @ @ @ @ United Kingdom Infrared Telescope ( UKIRT ) in Hawaii is smoothing the way for WFIRST ’ s exoplanet census by mapping out the region .
The UKIRT survey is providing the first measurements of the rate of microlensing events toward the galaxy ’ s core , where stars are most densely concentrated .
The results will help astronomers select the final observing strategy for WFIRST ’ s microlensing effort .
The UKIRT team ’ s most recent goal is detecting microlensing events using machine learning , which will be vital for WFIRST .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ amount of data that combing through it solely by eye will be impractical .
Streamlining the search will require automated processes .
Additional UKIRT results point to an observing strategy that will reveal the most microlensing events possible while avoiding the thickest dust clouds that can block even infrared light .
“ Our current survey with UKIRT is laying the groundwork so that WFIRST can implement the first space-based dedicated microlensing survey , ” said Savannah Jacklin , an astronomer at Vanderbilt University in Nashville , Tennessee who has led several UKIRT studies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knowledge of planetary systems , and WFIRST will move us a giant step closer to truly understanding how planets—particularly those within the habitable zones of their host stars—form and evolve.
” The same microlensing survey that will reveal thousands of planets will also detect hundreds of other bizarre and interesting cosmic objects .
Scientists will be able to study free-floating bodies with masses ranging from that of Mars to 100 times the Sun ’ s .
The low end of the mass range includes planets that were ejected from their host stars and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Next are brown dwarfs , which are too massive to be characterized as planets but not quite massive enough to ignite as stars .
Brown dwarfs don ’ t shine visibly like stars , but WFIRST will be able to study them in infrared light through the heat left over from their formation .
Objects at the higher end include stellar corpses—neutron stars and black holes—left behind when massive stars exhaust their fuel .
Studying them and measuring their masses will help scientists understand more about stars ’ death throes while providing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ WFIRST ’ s microlensing survey will not only advance our understanding of planetary systems , ” said Penny , “ it will also enable a whole host of other studies of the variability of 200 million stars , the structure and formation of the inner Milky Way , and the population of black holes and other dark , compact objects that are hard or impossible to study in any other way.
” The FY2020 Consolidated Appropriations Act funds the WFIRST program through September 2020 .
The FY2021 budget request proposes to terminate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on the completion of the James Webb Space Telescope , now planned for launch in March 2021 .

“Microlensing signals from small planets are rare and brief, but they’re stronger than the signals from other methods,” said David Bennett, who leads the gravitational microlensing group at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. “Since it’s a one-in-a-million event, the key to WFIRST finding low-mass planets is to search hundreds of millions of stars.”

Microlensing 101
This effect occurs when light passes near a massive object. Anything with mass warps the fabric of space-time, sort of like the dent a bowling ball makes when set on a trampoline. Light travels in a straight line, but if space-time is bent—which happens near something massive, like a star—light follows the curve.

Planets orbiting the foreground star may also modify the lensed light, acting as their own tiny lenses. The distortion they create allows astronomers to measure the planet’s mass and distance from its host star. This is how WFIRST will use microlensing to discover new worlds.
Familiar and exotic worlds
“Trying to interpret planet populations today is like trying to interpret a picture with half of it covered,” said Matthew Penny, an assistant professor of physics and astronomy at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge who led a study to predict WFIRST’s microlensing survey capabilities. “To fully understand how planetary systems form we need to find planets of all masses at all distances. No one technique can do this, but WFIRST’s microlensing survey, combined with the results from Kepler and TESS, will reveal far more of the picture.”
More than 4,000 confirmed exoplanets have been discovered so far, but only 86 were found via microlensing.

The transit method, for example, is best at finding sub-Neptune-like planets that have orbits much smaller than Mercury’s. For a solar system like our own, transit studies could miss every planet.

Hidden gems in the galactic core
WFIRST will explore regions of the galaxy that haven’t yet been systematically scoured for exoplanets due to the different goals of previous missions. Kepler, for example, searched a modest-sized region of about 100 square degrees with 100,000 stars at typical distances of around a thousand light years.

newswars--2020-03-31--Tucker Carlson to Govt: Stop Lying to Us About Face Masks

Fox host Tucker Carlson slammed the federal government for lying to the American people about the importance of face masks during the coronavirus outbreak .
On his Monday program , Carlson pointed out face masks are helpful to prevent the spread and contraction of the disease , but explained government entities had been telling the public they “ don ’ t work.
” Only later did Americans learn the government was merely attempting to protect the supply of face masks for health care workers .
“ That ’ s why honesty is essential at times like this .
When the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Carlson said .
“ They can tell , and then they stop listening.
” Carlson went on to detail how the government could have announced that masks were important to protect the elderly and other vulnerable populations from coronavirus .
Instead we got tweets like this , from the US Surgeon General instructing people to “ STOP BUYING MASKS !
” “ But the government didn ’ t do that .
Instead they told us lies .
Dumb lies that anyone who thought about it for a second could see right through .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ shouldn ’ t buy masks because masks don ’ t work.
’ ” Carlson also cited instruction from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention which claimed masks were only necessary “ for those who are sick or their caregivers.
” At this point , Carlson says , government bureaucracies and the mainstream media effectively “ suggested believing in masks is some kind of superstition like not walking under ladders or being afraid of black cats .
It ’ s insulting .
It ’ s ridiculous .
They are telling you masks don @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a hospital ?
” “ Of course masks work , ” Carlson emphasized .
“ Everyone knows that .
Dozens of research papers have proved it … We understand only certain people should get them … we get it .
But stop lying to us because it makes us cynical .
It divides the country .
Tell the truth.
” From MyPillow making face masks to home test kits for COVID19 , private enterprise gets it done — until govt bureaucrats BLOCK test kits !
