Self-appointed 'car czar' Bernie Moreno says it's time to put Biden's EV 'mandate' on the scrap heap.

"At the end of the day, the $7,500 incentive is catastrophically stupid."

Republican Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio isn't pulling any punches when it comes to government support for electric vehicles.

Elected last year, Moreno immigrated from Colombia with his family when he was 5. Before entering politics, he worked in auto sales, eventually building an empire of luxury car dealerships.

The Senate confirmed Kristi Noem as homeland security secretary on Saturday, putting the South Dakota governor in charge of a sprawling agency that is essential to national security and President Donald Trump's plans to clamp down on illegal immigration.

Republicans kept the Senate working Saturday to install the latest member of Trump's national security team on a 59-34 vote.

Any vote against her confirmation is not because she is not qualified.

There's nothing democratic about the Liberal leadership race. They thought Arya would embarrass the party if he won, so they booted him.

Used electric cars crash in value.  I am seeing 2022 Tesla Model 3s for just $17,000 advertised price at Hertz Car Sales.  2023s for $20,000.  Electric cars from other companies drop even faster.

Although I haven't seen prices for used ev's, that is what I have read.

ust hours before leaving the Oval Office, former President Joe Biden issued a pre-emptive pardon for retired Gen. Mark Milley, citing the possibility that President Donald Trump might seek "revenge" on the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It turns out the pardon was not enough to spare Milley from professional consequence over his past actions and subversion.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth revoked Milley's security detail and security clearance on Tuesday and has also ordered the Pentagon's inspector general to launch a probe into the retired general's actions, Pentagon spokesperson John Ullyot confirmed this week to multiple publications.

Ullyot noted that Hegseth will determine whether Milley should receive a demotion after considering the findings of the inquiry into the facts and circumstances surrounding his conduct. Officials told Fox News that the four-star general could ultimately lose a star based on his efforts to "undermine the chain of command" during Trump's first term.

I could see a Ron Desantis doing that to Trudeau. I don't think even Smith or Moe are that brave.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries apparently participated in a longstanding Democratic tradition Friday, threatening violence to achieve a political aim.

Jeffries, who stated in April that "threatening political violence is not a sign of strength" but rather an "indication of weakness and insecurity" and noted in September that "political violence has no place in a democratic society," told reporters that when it comes to the Trump agenda, "We are going to fight it legislatively, we are going to fight it in the courts, and we're going to fight it in the streets."

The House minority leader was met with immediate backlash over his remarks.

The White House issued a statement asking whether Jeffries will "apologize for this disgusting threat? Or will he double down on the same calls for violence that have plagued the country for years?"

Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), the GOP majority whip, said Jeffries "should promptly apologize for his use of inflammatory and extreme rhetoric. President Trump and the Republicans are focused on uniting the country; Jeffries needs to stop trying to divide it."

The X account for the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee wrote, "Will Democrats and the media denounce this incitement of violence?"

EKOS as a polling company is all bullshit.

Obama was racist against whites and Asians in order to pack the FAA with unqualified people who couldn't pass the exams but were black.  Left wing racism is the only systemic racism that actually exists.
