        Okay, give this a read.

          Like I told you earlier, others contributed to the light bulb but they all failed because it was either too costly or they just didn't work for anything but public display.

          From the start my problem with you is that you said Edison either stole or bought his idea. There's no evidence of that and I had to waste a lot of time to prove that.

          I agree with you that others before Edison contributed. But that's true of most inventions.

          Your article said Warren de La Rue first solved the problem of early burnout by using Platinum. That's great but we'd all still be sitting in the dark if Edison didn't come along because Platinum is one of the rarest metals on Earth... occurring at a concentration of only 0.005 ppm in Earth's crust.

            So, we agree Edison did not invent the light. Finally

              Listen carefully. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I had to repeat this. Mr. Volta is the first person that demonstrated that by applying voltage to a thin wire that you can produce incandescent light. That discovery was made by accident as he was trying to make a battery.

              Every man after that was in a race to come up with the first lightbulb based off Volta's discovery and Edison was the one who cracked the code of a practical and affordable solution. If not for Edison, you'd be sitting in the dark.

              The reason that you refuse to name an actual inventor is that it exposes your agenda...whatever that is.

                You are a hoot! Lol. You obviously didn't read the article. It clearly states that De La Rue created along lasting light bulb. If you refuse to accept that I can't help you. Post whatever you want, I will not be responding anymore.

                  Can you read? I clearly addressed De La Rue a couple of posts back. He used platinum. That's one of the rarest metals on planet Earth. You'd be sitting in the dark if it all ended with De La Rue.

                  Anyway, learn to pay better attention and READ what I say. Don't make me waste my time, please. Thank you.

                  By the way, you owe my an apology as I most certainly addressed De La Rue. It doesn't have to be a fancy apology. Just say that you were wrong and that you're sorry. That will suffice.

                        President Trump denies he ever called US service men "suckers" and "losers" calling it all a hoax. He calls everything that is not complimentary to his re-election a hoax. He uses the phrase so often, his claims are meaningless.

                          I don't believe the story for a second. What I do know to be fact is that Joe Biden voted for the Iraq war and as a result thousands were killed and many more wounded. Biden has blood on his hands. Trump is more anti war than Biden.

                            According to the Guardian it was reported that he said what he did two years ago. I think the reason this was not made public back then and is being released now is obvious, that is if it did actually happen.

                              you are referring to the 'Atlantic' piece... many people that were THERE have said it was BS. The story (as usual mentions UNNAMED SOURCES as proof) is a push by the left to discredit Trump.. this has been going on for nearly 4 years, and they always come back debunked.

                              Atlantic Owner Is Biden Megadonor, Close To Story’s Author. Sixth Witness, Trump Opponent, Disputes Story. | The Daily Wire

                              10 Witnesses Go On The Record Stating Atlantic Report On Trump Denigrating Troops Is A Lie | The Daily Wire

                              funny how this 'story' comes out shortly before the elections... has no credible source... it's picked up and run to the endzone by every liberal MSM liar out there.

                                Of course YOU don't believe it.
                                Next week Trump will admit it

                                PS you do know Trump has killed more Americans in the last 6 months 189,000 and counting than I all the US wars in the Middle East.
