EXCLUSIVE: House Leaders Urged to Save
AM Radios in New Vehicles

Original Article

Posted By: Judy W., 8/1/2024 6:59:48 AM

In a letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson and other House leaders on Wednesday, a right-leaning think tank encouraged “prompt House passage” of legislation protecting the installation of AM radios in all new vehicles. Numerous vehicle manufacturers—especially makers of electric vehicles—such as Ford, Tesla, and Volvo, have begun removing AM radios from their new models. The American Principles Project urged Johnson, R-La., as well as House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., to bring the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act “to the House floor as soon as possible.”

Comments:

Removing AM radios is yet another totalitarian move to destroy conservative media. It is also a move to destroy local news and anything else that makes people identify with their communities. They want all information to come from government and leftist sources.

I was told when I bought my new car recently that Lexus plans to go completely to hybrid after 2025. So get yourself a real car now, while you can. Get your gas cooktop now, while you can. Get your guns now, while you can.

I remember when congress legislated that new cars must include a radio. The purpose claimed for this was so drivers could hear emergency announcements. Now the left wants to remove the AM band from those radios because there are too many discussion programs on AM which are not compliant with the leftists. This idea should be DOA.

More likely; consertive talk radio is mostly on the AM Band. Democrats and the deep state, cannot abide people being able to listen to ideas that are not in keeping with their demented outlook.

Some days you wake up and think that you are living in Bizarro World. Other days you know it. I would prefer that they remove all of the censors, lane detectors, cameras, alarms and buzzers that constantly remind you what they think you are doing wrong. Cars now behave like ex-wives.

Haven't listened to AM since Rush's passing. When in the car I listen to music on satellite radio. They removed ash trays from cars decades ago. Behavior modification. The problem with AM and FM is after you've driven 50 miles you have to change stations.

Good points, #5. Even though I realize what dems are trying to do with this one, without Rush, AM radio feels like a desert. Other conservative hosts were just something you switched to during commercials, and now they are our only option.

Unfortunately, way too much of the AM spectrum is filled with Mexican crap stations, all in Spanish.

I'm torn on this one. I seldom (never) listen to AM, and in my opinion, even FM is dead. Only rap, Spanish and commercials there. As cars become more complicated with digital crap, it's harder than ever to get clear reception on AM in a car. Just try to play a portable radio in your car. It costs more to shield the signal than it does to include the radio itself. Radio circuity has been reduced to a few chips anyway and the cost is insignificant.

I don't see why the average US resident needs a car. Only the ' leaders ' and friends of ' leaders ' should have a private car. The rest can apply for a pass to use the glorious mass transit systems our ' leaders ' have given us.

There is a Cheat Machine out there. It worked in the 2020 general election and it's no doubt gearing up again for another run. (Snip) What could the Census Bureau tell me about the results of the 2020 presidential election? Well, it told me quite a bit. It told me that Joseph R. Biden received 81 million votes, and it told me that Donald J. Trump received 74 million votes. Three million people also voted for the Communists, the Greens, or themselves. Well, it told me that at the time of the 2020 election, there were 168 million registered voters. 81+74+3=158 158 is 94% of 168.

Jonathan Turley is a professor of constitutional law. His most recent book is titled: "The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in the Age of Rage".(Snip) Speech can be suppressed in several ways. The left’s favorite and most often used suppression method is to cast conservatives as “unworthy” of speaking. They shout us down. Another suppression tactic for online speech is to organize boycotts of the speaker’s sponsors. By way of example, there have been several attempts to demonetize “The Dan Bongino Show,”with limited to no success. There isn’t a conservative podcaster that hasn’t been subject to sponsor intimidation, with the intent of taking away a podcaster’s or website's source of income.

Fresh on the heels of Politico’s fear-mongering article warning about the ominous Christian influence of Lord of the Rings genius JRR Tolkien on Trump VP pick JD Vance, the outlet now devotes space to a profile of Vance’s “weird views on gender.” And by “weird,” Politico means “normal” – the traditional, biologically based understanding of sex and family that has held for all but the last ten minutes or so of human history. (Snip) Conservative politicians like Vance and, say, Ron DeSantis, who understand this and are willing to get in the trenches of that fight, terrify the Left.
The Left Fear-Mongers Over Vance’s Tolkien Influence 20 replies

Immediately in the wake of the announcement at the Republican National Convention that JD Vance is Donald Trump’s pick for running mate, the leftist media predictably launched a fear-mongering campaign to demonize the young populist. The politics of personal destruction – it’s their go-to strategy, rather than addressing the issues. And one of the first scary red flags they warned about is the influence on the future Vice President of Lord of the Rings author JRR Tolkien. On Tuesday, MSNBC mainstay propagandist Rachel Maddow suggested that Vance and “his mentor,” venture capitalist Peter Thiel, were both inspired by “alt-right” and “Aryan” messaging in Tolkien’s vastly popular fantasy epic.

Now that Kamala is unburdened by that has-been and before whoever's holding Joe Biden releases another not-quite-proof-of-life audio recording, let's go back less than a month to when this started - the June 27th debate and the formerly loyal press corps' amazing synchronised-shivving routine.(Snip) So why weren't they able, after a week-and-a-half of dosage experimentation, to shoot the stiff enough of the juice to pass him off as being back in his State of the Union top-of-the-game mode?

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle testified before the House Oversight Committee on Monday, in the wake of the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Numerous lawmakers—from both sides of the aisle—have called for Cheatle to resign after a gunman fired multiple shots at Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, about 33 miles north of Pittsburgh. A former fire chief, Corey Comperatore, 50, died shielding his family from the gunfire, and two other rally attendees were injured. As expected, lawmakers pressed Cheatle over the security failures during Monday’s hearing, which began at 10 a.m.

In his recent Michigan speech Trump addressed Project 2025, and did so in a way disturbingly similar to Globalist and Democrat responses. “You have the radical left and the radical right and they come up — I don’t know what the hell it is, it’s Project 25….He’s involved in project — and then they read some of the things and they are extreme, they’re seriously extreme. “But I don’t know anything about it, I don’t want to know anything about it.” The question is, is that because he’s following a strategy of least offence now, or is it because he genuinely shares leftist attitudes to what Project 2025 wants to do?

A few things in life are certain: death, taxes, and the Left trying to control the Supreme Court. From demanding the unnecessary addition of more seats or limiting the justices’ terms, relentless propaganda that certain justices and their decisions are “corrupt,” creating fake ethical “scandals,” openly threatening individual justices, and more, the Left wants the court under their thumb. That’s old news. The only new thing, if you can really call it that, is that President Joe Biden, according to news reports, will soon endorse a few ideas that have been around for years. Biden says he now supports limiting Supreme Court justices’ terms and imposing an “enforceable” ethics code.

The university encampments, it turns out, were planned as early as November 2023, belying any claims that the student protests occurred organically and spontaneously. The mainstream media, the authors say, is complicit because it fails to vet the activists and financiers behind the pro-Hamas ecosystem, preferring instead to portray the protests as if they are spontaneous occurrences."The protesters are being generously funded and expertly coached by the same anti-U.S., anti-capitalist, anti-West puppet-masters who sprang Black Lives Matter on us a decade ago... It's all part of a giant web, a revolutionary ecosystem, that spans the globe from Havana to Shanghai and coordinates and sustains these often-violent protests."

This is a subject that we previewed at length here yesterday. Unfortunately, the fight was allowed to proceed and Imane Khelif was matched up against female Italian boxer Angela Carini. As predicted by many, including yours truly, the fight didn't even last one minute into the first round. The referee declared a technical knockout after 46 seconds. Kheif came out and hit Carini so hard that her headgear was dislodged by the first blow.

The Republican National Committee unanimously voted on Holocaust Remembrance Day to pass a resolution condemning anti-Semitism. This resolution provides strong evidence of the Party and its leader, Donald J. Trump’s stance towards Jews. Nevertheless, if the Party leaders expect a positive response from the Jewish community in November, they may be disappointed. For years, Donald Trump has been tirelessly trying to gain support from American Jews. In the current campaign, he is emphasizing his unparalleled support for Israel and highlighting the Biden administration’s inconsistent approach to Israel’s conflict with Hamas. In an interview on Real America’s Voice on April 8, 2024, Mr. Trump asserted that “any Jewish individual who casts

Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich finally touched down on US soil late Thursday night after spending more than a year in a hellish Russian prison — and becoming the first American journalist to be arrested for alleged spying since the Cold War. The 32-year-old journalist — along with freed hostages Paul Whelan and Alsu Kurmasheva — landed at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where they were greeted by President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. The brave reporter shook hands with Biden and Harris as he briefly spoke with them and gave the commander in chief a hug before he was surrounded by jubilant family members for their long-awaited emotional reunion.

A whistleblower alleged that Secret Service acting Director Ronald Rowe personally cut security resources and “retaliated” against agents with security concerns leading up to former President Donald Trump’s rally on July 13, according to a letter released Thursday. The whistleblower alleged that Rowe personally implemented “significant cuts” to the Counter Surveillance Division (CSD), which does advanced threat assessments for venues, and alleged that agents who expressed security concerns were “retaliated against,” according to Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley’s letter to Rowe. As a result, the CSD failed to perform its “typical evaluation” of the rally venue in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and “was not present on the day” of the attempted assassination.
