  • Ronna McDaniel: ‘There Were Problems’ with the 2020 Election

    Former Republican National Committee chairwoman and NBC News contributor Ronna McDaniel said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that “there were problems” with the 2020 election. Host Kristen Welker said, “I want to turn now to your actions in the aftermath of the 2020 election. On November 17, you and Donald Trump were recorded pushing two Republican Michigan officials, election officials not to certify the results of the election and on the call you’re recorded as saying, ‘If you can go home tonight do not sign it. We will get you attorneys.’ Do you have regrets about that phone call...
  • Democracy’s dilemma: Why aren’t we solving our biggest problems?

    The Hill ^ | 01/08/2024 | HARLAN ULLMAN
    Here is a question to be posed to the candidates seeking the presidency, in particular, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Why does it seem impossible to resolve the most important challenges facing the nation? Throughout American history and especially in times of crisis, the nation has been able to come together. Today, that is unlikely. Sixty-plus years ago in the Senate, when Sens. Lyndon Johnson (D-Texas), Everett Dirksen (R-Ill.) and Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.) served, and 40 years ago when Rep. Tip O’Neill was Speaker of the House, despite huge policy differences, partisanship could be defeated. LBJ contributed...
  • End of the road for EVs? Electric cars encounter nearly 80% more problems than gas alternatives, report shows - but experts suggest they're just teething issues

    EV owners report far more problems with their cars and trucks than owners of gas-powered vehicles, according to a new survey. Vehicles in the burgeoning electric vehicle segment, from model year 2021 through 2023, encountered 79 percent more problems than those with combustion engines, according to a Consumer Reports survey of more than 330,000 car owners. The research said EV owners most frequently reported troubles with battery and charging systems as well as flaws in body panels and the fit of interior parts. It noted that EV manufacturers are still learning to construct new types of vehicles, and suggested that...

    Electric vehicles (EVs) have vastly more problems that arise than gas-powered cars, a new report of American consumers reveals. The survey from Consumer Reports, which asked owners of about 330,000 vehicles about issues they faced over the last year, found that EVs have almost 80 percent more problems than gas-powered cars using traditional combustion engines. Most problems consumers face with EVs, the report suggests, are long charging times, a lack of charging stations in general, issues with the lithium-ion battery, outer and interior parts not fitting precisely, and engine failures.

  • America Is Struggling Because Of Joe Biden — Not The Other Way Around; It is NOT 'anti-Biden' to inquire whether he actually plans to do anything about our most urgent problems.

    Perry Bacon Jr. — which is the name of a Washington Post writer, not a sandwich at Arby’s — has managed to have the dumbest excuse to date for why Joe Biden’s approval numbers are somewhere between bad and “get this man out of the White House right now before he kills us all.”Bacon wrote on Monday, presumably with a straight face, that a major factor driving the president’s approval ratings to lower than Donald Trump’s is that the news media’s coverage has been “anti-Biden.” He actually said that.“In the first few months of 2021, many in the media focused...
  • Afghanistan? Inflation? Joe Biden passes the buck as problems multiply

    Nypost ^ | 06/04/2022 | Jon Levine
    The buck isn’t stopping with President Biden. As his domestic and international problems multiply, he has found boogeymen to blame everywhere — except the White House. There’s Afghanistan, where a botched withdrawal left Americans stranded, a terrorist attack at Kabul airport killed 13 Americans, and fleeing Afghans fell to their deaths from the wheel wells of planes in flight. Biden blamed Trump for the chaos. Inflation? Take it up with Vladimir Putin. Rising gas prices are the work of greedy oil companies, while surging meat prices are caused by greedy meatpacking companies.

    This article is based on a combination of my own experiences in Argentina and my subsequent research after I came back to the US. I know some of my readers are from Argentina, and others are probably much more knowledgeable than me on this topic. If I’m dead wrong about something, or if you have a good personal anecdote, let me know. I would love to learn more about my favorite South American nation.What Inflation?In March 2022, the US CPI reading showed an 8.5% year-over-year inflation print, the highest since 1981. Pretty rough, right? Well in March 2022, Argentina recorded...
  • “Everyone is at Risk for Blood Clots!” – CDC and Pfizer Issue Urgent Warnings on Blood Clots Even in “The Healthiest Athletes”

    Both CDC and Pfizer have recently issued a public warning about “blood clots.”Last February 10, the CDC issued a warning normalizing the idea that young adults and healthy athletes develop blood clots.Of course, no one has ever heard of this frequent phenomenon before the COVID vaccines.“#DYK [do you know] that anyone can develop a blood clot?

    Nearly 40 percent of Americans say they’ve experienced serious financial problems over the past few months and almost 70 percent are worried about their children falling behind in school, according to a new national poll. After growing optimism over the summer that the worst of the pandemic had passed, the resurgence of the virus with the ultra-contagious Delta variant has brought the march back to normal to a halt in some cases — especially when it comes to households struggling with finances. The reports of economic struggles come even as 67 percent of households surveyed said they’d received financial help...
  • Will the Southern Beltway be worth it? The bar is high

    The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette ^ | October 14, 2021 | The Post-Gazette Editorial Board
    The cost to construct the Southern Beltway from Route 22 to Interstate 79 has been high — and it’s not just the $900 million price tag. Construction of the 13-mile highway disrupted lives, livelihoods and the environment along the path it carved through the countryside. The most extensive damage occurred in southern McDonald, Washington County, where reshaping the terrain initiated or exacerbated flooding problems that ended up chasing several families from their homes. We can say that the Turnpike Commission should have been more careful, and we have. But the truth is that there are always unintended consequences when excavating...

    This August, Chinese state-run paper Economic Information Daily ran a scathing 6,000-word article that condemned the country’s online gaming industry as promoting “spiritual opium,” raking in billions while creating a “new drug” addiction among the people, especially youth. The article was republished in dozens of outlets and followed by similar commentaries in state media and official social media posts. Within days, Chinese gaming giants like Tencent and NetEase saw their stocks plummet by 300 billion yuan; on Aug. 30, Beijing imposed strict regulations on online gaming, limiting minors to three hours of playtime a week. The onslaught by the press...

    People who battled COVID-19, including those who weren’t sick enough to be hospitalized, may face an increased risk of major heart problems one year after infection, according to a new report. Researchers at the Veterans Affairs St. Louis Health Care System in Missouri found that COVID survivors who weren’t hospitalized had a 39 percent increased risk of developing heart failure in the first year compared to someone who never had the virus, Bloomberg reports. They also had a 119 percent increased risk of developing a potentially fatal blood clot and a 24 percent increased risk of having a stroke, the...

  • Inflation, Labor Shortage and Supply Chain Problems Weighed on Services Sector in June

    Breitbart ^ | 07/06/2021 | John Carney
    Shortages of supplies and labor slowed growth in the services sector while pushing prices higher in June, a pair of business surveys revealed Tuesday. Growth in the services sector, which accounts for over 75 percent of the U.S. economy, cooled a bit in June, separate surveys by the Institute for Supply Management and IHS Markit indicate. Despite the slowdown, growth still remains at historically high levels corresponding with the reopening of many parts of the economy and the increased willingness of consumers to “return to normal” now that mass vaccination has sent the pandemic on the retreat. The Institute for...

    A COVID-19 VACCINE INSURGENCE MAY BE BREWING First, a video by Dr. Peter McCullough has appeared, linked below. It’s an hour and three-quarters long, so most folks won’t take the time to watch it. So, here’s a summary: a. Multi-drug regiments for early outpatient treatments (hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, azithromycin + other drugs) were actively suppressed by institutions and governments. Such regiments could have saved many lives. In spite of studies that showed their effectiveness, doctors were threatened with removal of their license―or worse (jail time). b. Mass vaccination of bio-actively vaccines have never been used before or even tested. These vaccines...

    I wrote a little bit about this a few weeks ago, when AstraZeneca paused its UK trial of the Oxford vaccine after one subject developed a neurological issue. Sources told the media at the time that the issue in question was transverse myelitis, a disease of the spine. That was the second time AstraZeneca had paused its trial; the first pause, it turned out, was also due to the emergence of a neurological problem in a participant.That issue, it turns out, was Â… transverse myelitis, a condition that normally afflicts one in 236,000 people, per the Times. Two participants...
