Biden’s Electric-Vehicle Hustle

Original Article

Posted By: mc squared, 5/8/2024 11:58:21 AM

Joe Biden never said, “If you like your gas-powered car, you can keep your gas-powered car,” in the manner of his former boss dissembling to the American people about doctors and Obamacare. Instead, candidate Biden said the quiet part out loud to a CNN town hall in 2019. We need to “get internal-combustion-engine vehicles off the road,” he said. Once in office, he followed through with executive orders and policy changes that aimed to do just that. The White House proposed strict carbon dioxide emissions rules that would force carmakers to slash production of gas-powered vehicles over the next few years.

Comments:

'Saving the earth' is the same as forcing people to worship the sun, volcanoes, or what not. It made the 'royalty' rich and powerful, but it's all about Top-down command and control.

Carbon dioxide is a highly beneficial plant food, not any kind of a pollutant. It harms NOTHING, helps all green plants. People are NOT going to buy their damned EVs. Huge numbers of us will fix our gas cars FOREVER....until we can replace the criminals in DC who order this insanity, one way or another.

GM is down to the Malibu for a gas powered sedan. Ford has none. Toyota is going to hybrid in 2025 and later models. The hybrids are more expensive to buy, operate, and insure. So in very near future, the only choice for a sedan will be a hybrid, or nothing. People are not going to buy the EV's. Can you imagine the nightmare with an EV in Texas that has frequent hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, and an electric grid that goes out frequently with the current load. Then, Texas has 7 million of illegals who will be requiring electricity. The Biden economy is a disaster.

Just anecdotal, but my sister-in-law got her new company car on Monday, a Tesla. Yesterday it stopped dead in an intersection and stranded her, so it got sent back. Yay green electric cars!

It's easy for idiots like Quid Pro Joe to spew edicts that ICE cars must yield 100 light years per drop of oil. Meanwhile The Potato Head uses Air Force One and Marine One which use aviation fuel. And his Corvette parked next to stacks of classified documents. Get out there on your bike Quid Pro Joe.

Essentially every EV owner is charging their batteries from power generated by fossil fuel. So they are really just pretending.

Whatever the actual goal of pro-Hamas protesters across the nation, winning hearts and minds doesn't seem to be a concern. Instead, they seem intent on alienating as many people as possible while demanding genocide in the name of terrorists. The latest example of unrest comes from New York, which has seen illegal encampments and the storming of buildings on various college campuses over the past several weeks. On Monday evening, a large group of Hamas supporters fought with the NYPD, breaking down barriers to rush the area around the Met Gala. Certainly, there's something poetic about that given the left-wing elites that attend the event every year created these monsters.

Left-wing groups and activists have reportedly been receiving training for months ahead of the chaotic pro-terrorism protests occurring on college campuses. According to a Wall Street Journal report, many of the pro-Hamas agitators have been consulting with groups such as National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) and Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network for up to nine months. The protestors were reportedly trained on how to encourage college students to join in on the demonstrations and planning such turbulent events. The groups use social media to reach out to potential protestors and give them advice such as informing them to cover their faces.

The Biden administration helped guide roughly $1.3 million to the Taliban through a weapons removal program since September 2021, according to an April 30 inspector general report. Taliban entities received funds from partners working with the State Department’s Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement in Afghanistan, including $138,000 in this quarter, according to the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction’s (SIGAR) recent report. SIGAR’s report documents how the head of the Taliban has defended Sharia law, including “publicly flogging and stoning women for committing adultery,” as well as how other terrorist groups, like ISIS-K, are proliferating in the region.

As violent pro-Hamas protests engulf campuses across America, one “leader” has been notably silent. Scenes of anarchy and chaos play on our television screens nightly, yet Joe Biden has yet to face the cameras and weigh in on the matter, much less call for a de-escalation of tensions. The administration’s only notable statements have been Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's weak-kneed homages to the rights of Americans to protest—and while they’ve quietly condemned the antisemitic chants and vandalism, their hearts don’t really seem to be into it. (California Gov. Gavin Newsom has also put on a disappearing act, even as UCLA and USC have been embroiled in chaos.

A Boeing whistleblower who raised the alarm about defects in 737 Max jets has died suddenly at the age of 45. Joshua Dean previously said he was fired from his job as a quality auditor at Spirit AeroSystems for questioning standards at the supplier's plant in Wichita, Kansas, in October 2022.

President Joe Biden responded to a felon allegedly killing four officers in North Carolina Monday by pushing more gun controls for law-abiding Americans. Breitbart News reported that the man who allegedly killed the officers, 39-year-old Terry Clark Hughes Jr., was a felon barred from gun possession. In other words, Hughes faced 100 percent gun control. Nevertheless, he used a gun to kill four officers, one of whom was a Deputy U.S. Marshal Biden responded by pushing gun storage laws and a slew of other controls for law-abiding citizens. The White House published a statement from Biden, wherein he said:

Republicans began the Congress with a bold agenda to hold President Joe Biden accountable, but they’ll finish it in a coalition government with Democrats despite Republicans maintaining their slim majority. House Democrat leadership issued a joint statement Tuesday announcing Democrats would table any vote on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-L). The move cements a governing partnership that began when Johnson relied on Democrats to advance his foreign aid scheme after a monumental flip-flop from his position that no more foreign aid would be considered until securing the southern border.

Paul Ryan must be very confused about what makes a person’s “character” good or bad; according to a new report, the former congressman will not be voting for Donald Trump, because “character is too important” and therefore, he can’t get behind a guy like Trump. Apparently, Ryan intends to write in another Republican candidate, which is obviously a throw away vote and therefore, one less vote against Joe Biden. Funny, because Ryan and all the other RINOs never say a word about Biden’s character, nor are they that critical of his policies. The goal with Ryan and others is to destroy Trump.

So much for a border crisis. The Biden administration recently finalized regulations that will provide taxpayer-funded benefits to individuals who came into this country lacking authorization, by defining them as “lawfully present.” (snip)Apart from the clever way the administration has attempted to avoid legal challenges, the entire premise of the rule seems rather Orwellian. The idea that a president can unilaterally declare a group of individuals “lawfully” present without the consent of Congress defies logic, not to mention the basic principles of “our democracy” that the left purports to care so much about.

The case was filed by America First Legal (AFL), which is headed by former Trump administration official Stephen Miller, as part of a broader assault against DEI in businesses, colleges, and the military.

A Republican senator is renewing the call to impeach President Biden following reports of aid to Israel being delayed during its war with the terrorist organization Hamas. "The House has no choice but to impeach Biden based on the Trump-Ukraine precedent of withholding foreign aid to help with reelection. Only with Biden, it’s true," Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., wrote on X on Thursday. A recently passed $95 billion supplemental foreign aid package included roughly $26 billion for both Israel and humanitarian aid for areas including Gaza. The aid was encouraged by the Biden administration, which had proposed it nearly six months prior.
