    Ford and GM have both suspended well cancelled plans to build a couple new facilities for battery and Eevee assembly, no changes to their internal combustion engine vehicle plans ...cleanest state is California they are still 50% fossil fuel energy and they lie about their statistics because they say they don't know what the mix is for the power that they're importing from the rest of the country which is something like a third of their total demand and the stuff that comes say from the Phoenix area in Arizona to the LA Basin which is something like 10 gigawatt...

    (At the end of this editorial, I'm offering the opportunity to get a bumper sticker to spread this message) A long time ago, in 2005, I saw something George W. Bush had done, and I remarked: "First we beat the Soviet Union, then we became them." Little did I know that in under twenty years, we would see Soviet-style Show Trials. We just witnessed the most high-profile Show Trial in American history, where the President (and current candidate for a second term) was put through a trial where all of the elements were crafted to ensure a guilty verdict on...

    Response (ASPR) at the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) said officials are moving forward with a plan to produce 4.8 million doses of H5N1 avian flu vaccine for pandemic preparedness. Dawn O'Connell, JD, said health officials have identified a manufacturing line at one of its manufacturing partners for fill-and-finish steps, without disrupting production of seasonal flu vaccine. Currently, the vaccine is in bulk form and will be produced in multidose vials. She said it takes a couple months to fill and finish the vaccine doses, which would save time in case a vaccine is needed. Federal health...

    The MONTHLY Gardening Thread is a gathering of folks that love soil, seeds and plants of all kinds. From complete newbies that are looking to start that first potted plant, to gardeners with some acreage, to Master Gardener level and beyond, we would love to hear from you. If you have specific question about a plant/problem you are having, please remember to state the Growing Zone where you are located. This thread is a non-political respite. No matter what, you won’t be flamed, and the only dumb question is the one that isn’t asked. It is impossible to hijack the...

    It was only in 2018 when hip-hop surpassed rock 'n' roll to become the most popular music genre in the U.S., but its glory was short-lived. In 2023—the year when hip-hop celebrated its 50th birthday— the music genre that gave a voice to millions seemed to be losing its appeal. While 2023 was marked with historic performances by hip-hop royalty at major events, the newer generation struggled to make a dent on the charts. **SNIP** Or as musicologist and historian Zachary Diaz told Newsweek, there has been a "musical gentrification" of hip-hop which has seen corporations and big music labels...

    Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton shared Tuesday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) retaliated against him after he tried to initiate an investigation against the agency “for violating state and federal law.”Paxton told War Room host Steve Bannon that 3 1/2 years ago he received a referral from the Travis County district attorney to investigate the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) for breaking the law. Paxton was surprised to find after he began that process of investigation that the FBI knew about the referral before he did.“They were already in my office threatening people and scaring the heck...

    NEW YORK, NY — Following the guilty verdict handed down against former President Donald Trump, New York Prosecutor Alvin Bragg used the case to issue a stern warning that nobody in America is above the law he made up to convict Trump. Bragg's sobering statement came after he and his prosecution team successfully manufactured a case to convict Trump of a crime that remains unidentifiable by legal experts and served as a clear example of what will happen to other Americans if they brazenly run afoul of laws he makes up in the future. "This is a nation of laws,...

    The chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government announced Friday that he is calling on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and prosecutor Matthew Colangelo to testify next month about “the unprecedented political prosecution of President Trump.” “This hearing will examine actions by state and local prosecutors to engage politically motivated prosecutions of federal officials, in particular the political prosecution of President Donald Trump by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) wrote in letters to Bragg and Colangelo. The move comes one day after Bragg secured a conviction of Trump on 34 counts...

    If one speaks out too strongly against the Democrats, there will be consequences. But I will continue to do so anyway. “My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular. Where it’s safe to say what’s on your mind, especially when everyone disagrees. Where it’s safe to believe what you believe, especially when everyone else’s beliefs stand elsewhere.” — Adlai Stevenson Adlai Stevenson was a Democrat. (In fact, he ran for president in 1952 and 1956, losing twice to Dwight Eisenhower.) Hard to believe today when the Donkey Party is composed almost entirely...

    Here is the formatted transcript with proper capitalization, punctuation, and paragraphs added (formatting by Claude.ai): Yeah, even the phrase for Chapter 5, the title of Chapter 5 is called "The Rise of the Materialist Magician." And that phrase "materialist magician," I took from C.S. Lewis's book "The Screwtape Letters." For those that don't know, "The Screwtape Letters" is an epistolary novel that takes the form of a series of letters that this demon Screwtape writes to his nephew demon Wormwood. Wormwood is assigned a person to try to damn to hell, to tempt and to enslave. Wormwood asks Screwtape a...

    @Swan President Biden VETOES the bill that would have allowed regulated financial institutions to custody Bitcoin and other crypto assets. -- Biden Vetoes Crypto Custody Bill President Joe Biden vetoed a bipartisan bill that aimed to allow highly regulated financial firms to hold Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The bill sought to repeal the SEC's SAB 121, which sets accounting standards for firms that custody crypto. Critics fear the veto may stifle innovation in the crypto industry, sparking debate among crypto enthusiasts and political commentators. Biden argued that the veto maintains the SEC's authority over accounting practices.

    New York City and State are the cutting edge of a political movement that is dedicated to using lawfare to destroy its political enemies. It’s the middle of the night as I write this, and I’m deeply troubled by Trump’s conviction. Why? Perhaps I’m hyper-partisan, perhaps not. I know I’ll never forget where I was when I heard about his conviction. I knew I’d remember it forever, just as I did when I first heard about 9/11, Neil Armstrong walking on the moon, President Kennedy’s assassination or the Soviet Union breathing its last. They were all moments when the clock...

    Real estate investor Grant Cardone appeared on the fox Business Network this week following the Trump verdict and said that it is going to have far reaching effects on the city’s economy. He suggested that nobody (including him) wants to do business in New York City anymore because they no longer trust the political and legal system there. Cardone says that the people who are invested in his company wouldn’t even allow him to do business there.
