"...Japanese automaker Toyota sold more cars in the United States than any other manufacturer, edging historical bestseller General Motors out of the top spot. This marks the first time since 1931 that GM isn’t the top-selling automaker in the states.
...Toyota’s victory over GM caps a year when the American carmaker’s sales shrank 12.9% as it sold 2.2 million vehicles in the United States. By contrast, Toyota’s sales increased 10.4% in 2021 compared to 2020, as it sold 2.3 million cars to Americans.
...Gearhead site The Truth About Cars says that GM “claimed its numbers were down due to the global semiconductor shortage that continues to disproportionally impact American automakers.

No matter how you slice it, GM looks to have screwed up managing inventory and Toyota is picking up the slack.”...Read all!!
President Joe Biden repeated this nonsense shortly after 9 a.m. yesterday during his remarks about the riot: “This wasn’t a group of tourists. This was an armed insurrection.” ...They were “armed” with cell phones which they used to take selfies, and not a single protester has been charged with insurrection or treason.

The Democrats have reportedly sought advice on how to leverage Section 3 of the 14 Amendment, which states:
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President… who, having previously taken an oath… shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Reports indicate the Democrats are focusing on the words “insurrection or rebellion,” tied to January 6, to disqualify Trump from seeking office.
...However, such disqualification would demand evidence that Trump committed “insurrection or rebellion.”
Thus far, Democrats have failed to produce qualifying evidence...Read all!
"It’s interesting, though, the reception that some of these folks will get in Florida, because I think a lot of Floridians say, 'Wait a minute, you’re bashing us because we’re not doing your draconian policies, and yet we’re the first place you want to flee to, to basically be able to enjoy life,'" he continued. "So, I’m not surprised to see that continue to happen."
