Another Auto Manufacturer Joins the Chorus
of Delaying the EV Push

For some time now, the current administration has offered electric vehicles as the solution to all of our problems. Can’t sleep? Buy an EV. Suffering from dandruff, bad breath, or foot pain? Buy an EV. Crooked teeth? Buy an EV. OK, so maybe it’s an exaggeration, but the Biden administration has made such a push toward EVs, despite the high cost of ownership that puts them out of reach for millions of Americans. In recent weeks, the White House has issued mandates that intend to push more American families and companies into EVs, yet sales aren’t encouraging.

Comments:

I'm not buying an EV, PERIOD!!

OK I admit it: Hybrids are only half as bad as full EVs, Hybrids are still powered by lithium batteries with limited service life. Only benefit may be smaller fires.

Our Ford which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name .... No one with above a 50 IQ would have one of these glorified goplf carts around here. The Gulf is one hundred yards away, and it can easily overflow its boundaries. If it does, all neighbors' e-anything (scooter, bike, car, or truck) will when introduced to saltwater burst into 4,500 F. flames, burning everything in sight. Keep these things away from here.

I drive the most environmentally friendly car there is. A 2010 Honda CRV.150k miles. 29mpg. Expected lifetime is 300k miles. There is no EV that can come close to that. And if engines are still available I will put a new one in at 300k miles if I get it there. And then some new struts, wheel bearings, some bushings, and it's all set for another 300k miles. All that should only cost about 6k$. BTW, we are thinking of getting it painted one of those new Earth colors that the new cars have so everyone will think we have a new car.

If I were to win a new car, it would probably be an EV, and a green one, at that! That would be worse luck than having Biden for President, even. Eek! The car mfgs. know we are 20 or 30 years away from having efficient electric vehicles! It's like kissing your cousin, after the shock wears off, it becomes a mental problem. Remember, Epstein didn't suicide. I hope the auto industry doesn't meet the same fate.

MSNBC host Al Sharpton said Friday on “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump was a “low down” conman playing “boogeyman politics.” Sharpton said, “He was the same guy that stood on television as president of the United States, and said it will be over in two weeks. Don’t worry about it. And then finally he told us to take bleach. So now we’re going – I think that the collective amnesia, that a lot of Americans are having, is the challenge that the Democrats have to put out there, say this is the guy that you voted out. Remember, now, he ran for re-election. You didn’t want him back again.

President Trump’s lawyer John Eastman joined Emerald Robinson on The Absolute Truth on Thursday. Eastman, a widely respected Constitutional attorney, was officially disbarred earlier this week after a California leftist judge ruled he should have his law license stripped for challenging the 2020 election. Eastman on Thursday asked the judge to pause the disbarment ruling, citing massive legal fees. Trump 2020 election lawyer John Eastman faced disbarment in California for ‘undermining democracy’ by trying to ‘overturn the presidential election.’ The January 6 Committee sent the feds after John Eastman because he dared to take action against the Democrats and their massive election fraud operation in 2020.

Chicago's far-left Mayor Brandon Johnson has petitioned the Biden administration to hand out to the nearly half a million illegals living in Illinois. Johnson, who was elected mayor a year ago, met with business and immigration advocates on Thursday where he touted a letter signed by other leaders across the state of Illinois. He declared: "We need the president to extend the same economic opportunities to our long-term undocumented brothers and sisters. Leading in this moment is what the people of Chicago elected me to do a year ago, and I'm proud that we are doing that today."

On Thursday, RedState reported on one of the best takedowns of a pro-Hamas activist I've ever seen. During the exchange, Mosab Yousef, the son of Hamas co-founder Hassan Yousef, battled an American-accented representative of Students Allied for Freedom and Equality. He went so far as to accuse her of cosplaying her culture by wearing a keffiyeh. It was glorious. Here's a bit of the transcript. YOUSEF: Now we have the problem of the pro-Palestine who are actually giving Hamas cover. They are participants in the crime. In fact, since October 7th, I personally don't differentiate between Hamas and so-called Palestinians because, actually, there is no Palestinians. There are tribes.

Mandates, mandates, mandates; subsidy after subsidy. All of these cost money, and we're occasionally reminded of just how much. The Biden administration seems determined to shatter all the norms when it comes to unilaterally deciding that they know best what's good for us Americans and are willing to spend our money to those ends. Now we see the cost; the environmental rules alone implemented by this administration (without input from Congress) are projected to cost Americans more than $845 billion. As if the fiat-currency dump fueling inflation wasn't enough already.

Even with the conventions still to come, the 2024 presidential campaign is already entering the end-game, with a repeat of the 2020 face-off between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Now, former (and future?) first lady Melania Trump is diving back into the campaign arena, beginning with an appearance at a fundraiser held by the Log Cabin Republicans later in April. Until now, Mrs. Trump has been keeping herself out of the limelight, but not any longer. Melania, wife of former President Donald Trump, will reportedly be attending a fundraiser for the Log Cabin Republicans later this month, multiple publications have reported.

The son of one of the terrorist group Hamas’s cofounders has a message for Americans and the world: most Palestinians support Hamas, the terrorists want to commit ethnic cleansing against Jews, and any Americans who support Gaza are insane. Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Hamas cofounder Shiehk Hassan Yousef, dropped some major truth bombs while on Dr. Phil's show recently. He explained how there is “lots of hatred” against Jews in Islamic culture, according to a transcription by Breitbart, and stated “the vast majority” of Palestinians support Hamas, a fact confirmed by a recent poll. Indeed, Yousef argued, the Hamas atrocities of Oct. 7 were “an attempt for ethnic cleansing

Seriously, people. Look, Donald Trump wasn't my first choice for this one, either. I enjoyed his presidency, but like many who had supported him in the past, I'd grown weary of the unforced errors and the drama. True, most of the drama is being visited upon him by the insane Democrats, but it's drama all the same. Admittedly, the thought of a Trump 47 Revenge Tour held great appeal for me. I had already become a huge fan of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, though, and really wanted to see him at the top of the presidential ballot this year. Alas, that was not to be.

One of the things that frustrated me about Trump’s (first?) term was his seeming complete indifference to #TheResistance that manifested before he even took office. Unelected bureaucrats working in the ridiculously invasive executive branch’s many agencies, publicly declared war on him, and he . . . well, he did nothing. Until the final year of his presidency when he seemed to finally take aim at the problem in his own branch of government–we can call it the deep state, the resistance, the entrenched bureaucrats who oversee far too much policy in America and who are, apparently, answerable to no one. Not the voter, not the president. So then-president Trump launched

The two governments are furiously working to get in position ahead of what is to come, as they anticipate that Iran’s attack could unfold in a number of different ways – and that both US and Israeli assets and personnel are at risk

I have long predicted that normalizing transgender surgeries would be followed eventually by doctors intentionally disabling patients with Body Identity Integrity Disorder (BIID). These patients obsess that their “true selves” are quadriplegic, or amputees, or blind, and they yearn to be made that way. It is a real and anguishing condition. Some are now even calling the affliction “transable” (get it?). Well, here it comes. A doctor in Quebec “treated” a BIID patient by amputating two of his healthy fingers. Otherwise, the patient was threatening to mutilate himself. From the National Post story: The fact that there were only two fingers involved in the Quebec case, as opposed to

Saturday's $250,000-a-ticket bash was held at the $110 million Palm Beach home of Trump supporter John Paulson.
