Remember that “kill switch” mandate for new cars that media fact-checkers years ago assured the public was just a crazy right-wing conspiracy? Well, the federal government recently took the first step toward a rule that would …. require all new cars sold to come with a kill switch. A provision in the bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that President Joe Biden signed in 2021 directed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to come up with a rule by this year requiring new cars to have “advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology.” The law describes this tech as being able to

The government, either federal, state or local, will abuse every power it has. Its been proven over and over again. Look at what they've done with rico and the various anti-terrorism statutes for examples. Every street thug out there has ties to terrorism. Guaranteed. Allow a kill switch on your car. Eventually it will either be used by the government or hacked by the criminals. The only power they wont abuse is one they do not have.

The article says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was directed “to come up with a rule by this year requiring new cars to have advanced drunk and impaired driving prevention technology.” So the rule is supposed to be written this year. But . . . which model year is the car kill switch mandated?

So a person with an asthma attack, or mild cardiac symptoms, and needing to drive themselves to urgent care, could have their only means to get there...their car...say: sorry pal, you have to sit here and take it.! Just another brand new wrinkle on population reduction.

The war on cars continues. What happens when your motor dies and the power steering and power brakes can't function very well? They would rather kill you than miss out on traffic ticket revenue.

There is nothing the apparatchiks in government think up to improve 'our safety' that doesn't become an overbearing monkey on the public''s back. Monitoring your driving and controlling travel is the ultimate goal here. If they can shut you down for something THEY don't like - just imagine the possibilities.

So some moron runs a stop sign and you have to take, sudden, evasive action to avoid an accident and the program assumes you are drunk and shuts you down while you are taking your child to the ER for an emergency. Who do I sue?

Trump, AFTER he's elected again, needs to Delete the job Slots for 100% of the Leftist Slugs infesting our government, and REMOVE them and delete their PENSION. He also needs to force retired Generals like Miley to return to service (Recall) and them court marshal them for violating Direct Orders from POTUS. In Miley's case, his calling our ENEMY, the Chicoms to tell them disparaging things about Trump, is a Traitorous action and he should be put in Prison for Life, No pension, or Hanged/Shot as the penalty calls for.

The evidence of President Joe Biden’s criminal activity continues to grow. As has often been said, the wheels of justice grind slowly, but we’d like to see them get in gear in time for voters to know that their president is a crook. During testimony earlier this week before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, former Hunter Biden associate Tony Bobulinski said “it is clear to me that Joe Biden was ‘the Brand’ being sold by the Biden family.” “The Biden family business was Joe Biden, period.” Simply put, Bobulinski said Joe has been the recognizable name that the Bidens sold to amass wealth that few Americans can conceive of.

In the span of two days, articles started appearing making the exact same argument: That Joe Biden will definitely, no questions asked, be the nominee come November. So, naturally, we are left wondering what Democrats have up their sleeve to get the flailing president off the ballot. On Monday, Vox.com published a lengthy article titled “Yes, Democrats, It’s Biden or Bust.” The next day, Politico ran a lengthy piece titled “Get Used to It: Biden Isn’t Going Anywhere.” [snip] We are not suggesting there was plagiarism here, but mainstream journalists aren’t the most independent thinkers on the planet,

If there ever were a sign that Canada has gone cuckoo, it has to be a bill introduced in Parliament that would censor speech about fossil fuel. No, we’re not joking, though we hope the bill’s author is. We fear, however, he isn’t. One Charlie Angus, a New Democratic Party member of the House of Commons from Timmins–James Bay in Ontario, has brought before that chamber Bill C-372. It clearly states that “it is prohibited for a person to promote a fossil fuel, a fossil fuel-related brand element or the production of a fossil fuel except as authorized by the provisions of this Act or of the regulations.”

President Joe Biden was too tired or confused to agree to a Super Bowl interview — surely one of the most softball interview opportunities any president could hope for — but did take time to record a video addressing the nation’s most pressing problem: “shrinkflation.” Not only is his complaint utterly misguided, he plagiarized his post from Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Biden said: “When buying snacks for the game you might have noticed one thing: Sports drinks bottles are smaller, bag of chips has fewer chips, but they are still charging us just as much …

With the stunning report by the Justice Department suggesting that President Joe Biden is not mentally fit enough to face charges for mishandling state secrets, it’s now become an open question: Does that mean Biden isn’t mentally fit to be president? Americans are overwhelmingly worried that the answer is no, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. Mere days before the release of a blockbuster government report that indicated Biden’s age-related mental decline is real and not just a partisan talking point, the I&I/TIPP Poll asked American voters: “President Biden is seeking a second term. How would you rate his mental acuity?”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who once was a formidable force in Washington, D.C., and hoped one day to be president of the United States, is now so desperate to grab a sliver of the spotlight she’s taking on Big Snack Food and Big Toilet Paper. She managed only to reveal how irrelevant and economically ignorant she really is. In a campaign email, a tweet, and a video, Warren complains that consumers are getting ripped off. “Have you ever finished a bag of Doritos and thought, ‘Whoa — there should have been a lot more chips in here’? You were right,” she exclaims.

The ruling class’ obsession with building a carbon dioxide-free world has blinded it to material facts. The Al Gores and Gavin Newsoms and John Kerrys of the West believe they only have to bark orders and seize other people’s money and their green dreams will be realized. When are they going to understand their wishes are not everyone else’s command? There are many examples of the ruling class’ failure to recognize its limitations in regard to energy. The electric vehicle backlash comes to mind. So do the many green “investments” that have turned out to be financial holes of a different color. For this commentary, though,

Joe Biden, even though he did take and secrete away secret documents and such, will not be charged with any crime related to what are acts quite similar to those for which Donald Trump was charged with crimes. In his report explaining his decision, Special Counsel Robert Hur said today that Biden was too far removed from reality for a jury to convict him of a crime. In other words, Biden did it, Biden broke the law, but he is too mentally deficient for anyone to believe he either really did it on purpose or, after the fact, could

Recently, the legislature in my home state of Alabama told public four-year colleges to report how much they spend on “diversity, equity and inclusion.” The amount: $16.2 million. Are taxpayers getting anything for this money? DEI advocates say it’s a good investment. Paulette Granberry Russell, the president of the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education, says that anti-DEI legislation ultimately would prevent historically marginalized students from fully engaging in higher education. But is that true? To find out, I looked at spending on DEI programs at prominent colleges and enrollment of black students at those schools.

But now that Trump is leading in polls, the left is talking ominously about a “coup.” Pay attention, because if Trump wins in 2024, this will be how the left tries to stop him from getting anything done.

Former President Donald Trump continues to face legal charges on his return path to the presidency, while current President Joe Biden carries his age, fading mental acuity, and charges of corruption as he seeks a second term. So who has the edge now in the head-to-head electoral matchup for 2024? Thanks to solid independent voter backing, Trump still edges out Biden, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. Trump wins 43% of the overall vote, while Biden gets 41% in the national online I&I/TIPP Poll, taken from Jan. 31-Feb. 2, with 1,266 registered voters participating. The poll has an overall +/-2.8 percentage-point margin of error.

Donald Trump ordered to pay more than

Posted by Dreadnought 2/16/2024 3:13:41 PM Post Reply
Donald Trump’s days as a Big Apple real estate tycoon may be numbered. A New York judge ordered that the former president pay more than $350 million — and limit his doing business in the state where he made his name — after finding Friday that he inflated his net worth by billions to dupe banks and insurers over the course of a decade. The ruling from Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, if it withstands an inevitable appeal, could cause Trump, 77, to be stripped of control over Midtown’s Trump Tower and his other iconic New York properties. Engoron’s decision capped a three-month civil trial that put a dent

Willis defended paying Wade in cash for her their vacations together, and said she had piles of money in her house because her father told her to keep six months of savings available at all times. In another extraordinary moment she told lawyer Ashleigh Merchant, who is representing Trump co-defendant Michael Roman, that she was 'not a hostile witness' and she 'wanted' to testify. She accused Merchant of 'trying to implicate that you slept with somebody the first day you met them.' 'Ms Merchant's interests are contrary to democracy,' she fumed, accusing her of 'lies' about when she and Wade dated.

An evidentiary hearing about alleged misconduct by Soros-backed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis was underway on Thursday as the judge weighs whether Willis should be disqualified from the Trump RICO case. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Fani Willis “financially benefited” from a romantic relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade. Trump’s RICO co-defendant, Michael Roman, filed an explosive supplemental reply to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and accused her of lying to the court about her affair with the top Trump prosecutor she appointed.

Even more Americans could see their student loans forgiven after the Biden administration announced how those struggling with their payments could have their debts wiped. The proposal unveiled on Thursday outlines multiple factors the Education Secretary may consider to determine whether borrowers are facing the type of hardship that would get them relief. The Biden administration has already cancelled $136.6 billion in student loan debt for 3.7 million borrowers, but the Supreme Court struck down President Biden's original $400 billion plan to cancel it last June.

From the moment that Democrat Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis abruptly hurled herself into the court hearing on Thursday, it was obvious what she was there to do. And it’s hard to even blame her because it’s the only option she has left. Before she was even asked to appear — before it was even clear she would be required to testify in the hearing about her relationship with Nathan Wade that could zero out her criminal case against Donald Trump — Willis entered the scene in a painfully bright pink dress and told the court she was ready for her close up. Her eyebrows frozen in a defiant arch,

Given the wholesale disaster that has been the Biden presidency, one has to wonder how it all happened. We have all seen the Democrat party become radicalized, almost purely Marxist, since the Obama administration. Obama promised to transform the country and he surely did. He effectively drove race relations backward by seventy years. It is common knowledge that Obama despised his VP Biden. Why he was chosen to be his VP in the first place is anybody’s guess. Biden was a known jerk, a racist (his mentor was KKK member/aficionado Robert Byrd), rather dumb, a plagiarist, and a pathological liar.

George Soros, the left’s favorite billionaire, is buying up American radio stations by the hundreds, ahead of the 2024 election. This is obviously part of a strategy, because that’s what Soros does. He hatches backdoor plans to exert influence over American politics. A few years back, he pumped a ton of cash into district attorney races across the country and we all know how that worked out. This is his new plan. Could there be more to this than gaining media influence? The Washington Times reports:
