I-95 fiasco raises issue of survivability of electric cars

I-95 fiasco raises issue of survivability of electric cars: 

But while the leading car manufacturers, and now Sony, announce their run for the roses in the EV race, a question must be asked based on the recent I-95 snow delay. That question is how well would EVs have performed during a 24-hour-plus delay in keeping drivers and passengers warm and able, once road bottlenecks were cleared, to get moving again?

BREAKDOWN: Basic Services And Supply Chains Are Rapidly Breaking Down All Over The Globe

BREAKDOWN: Basic Services And Supply Chains Are Rapidly Breaking Down All Over The Globe

"...Throughout the latter stages of 2022, I documented how basic services were breaking down all across the country, but this was a trend that was largely ignored by the mainstream media until now.  Fear of the Omicron variant has taken things to an entirely new level, and at this point things have gotten so bad that even the mainstream media is full of stories about this crisis.  For example, over the weekend this was one of the Drudge Report’s main headlines: “NATIONWIDE BREAKDOWN OF SERVICES”.  The following is an excerpt from that story…

Ambulances in Kansas speed toward hospitals then suddenly change direction because hospitals are full. Employee shortages in New York City cause delays in trash and subway services and diminish the ranks of firefighters and emergency workers. Airport officials shut down security checkpoints at the biggest terminal in Phoenix and schools across the nation struggle to find teachers for their classrooms.

The current explosion of omicron-fueled coronavirus infections in the U.S. is causing a breakdown in basic functions and services — the latest illustration of how COVID-19 keeps upending life more than two years into the pandemic.

This is happening almost everywhere, and it is deeply affecting industry after industry...Read all!!

China to Conquer Moon in 2026 While America Makes Gender-Neutral Space Suits

• Should the United States lose the new space race, it will lose the Earth.

"Space is the ultimate strategic high ground. 

This domain is divided into various zones. 

• First there are the orbits around the Earth: low-Earth orbit, medium-Earth orbit, and geosynchronous orbit. 
• Ancillary to those orbits are the Lagrange points, which are the orbits separating the Earth from its moon. 
• Next up is the Earth-Moon system.

If you control the orbits around the Earth and the Lagrange points—as well as the moon itself—you effectively have total dominance over the Earth below. 

Today, China is poised to dominate not just the orbits around the Earth, but the entire Earth-Moon system...Read all!!

Rand Paul: 'Is Fauci Advising Justice Sotomayor?': 

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) asked if Dr. Anthony Fauci is “advising” Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor after she touted falsehoods during oral arguments on Friday at the Supreme Court as justices weighed President Joe Biden’s coercive vaccine mandates.

Sheriff Sued for Reporting Illegal Alien Criminals to ICE | Judicial Watch

"In a distressing sign of the times, the official elected to enforce the law in a major U.S. County is being sued for transferring illegal immigrant criminals to federal authorities. 

...The scary part is that the local law enforcement agency will probably lose the legal battle because the entire state is a sanctuary for illegal immigrants and official measures have been enacted to protect the undocumented from deportation.

...Jones and his agency are accused of violating California sanctuary laws by reporting illegal immigrants jailed for committing local crimes to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) upon completing their sentence....Read all!

Critical theory: Anything can be anything, part 2 | The College Fix

Critical theory: Anything can be anything, part 2 | The College Fix

• What happens when critical race theory (CRT) meets popular entertainment? Something like this.

"By now you may have seen the über-popular Marvel Entertainment film Black Panther. The $200 million-budget flick made an astounding $1.35 billion worldwide, with a little over half that coming from the U.S. market alone.
...But progressive/critical academics have a problem with that. 

They believe racial groups have to hold certain beliefs, and any deviation will land a person in the rhetorical hot water. 

You’ve likely seen what happens to a black person who is politically conservative.
The beauty of critical theory is that it can mean anything that anyone wants it to mean. 

Blacks who deviate from the political “norm” are crushed, yet at the same time if someone calls upon a black person to “speak for” his demographic in a classroom setting (or wherever), that someone will be protested and canceled. 

Walla Walla University’s Tim Golden unwittingly provided a nigh-perfect example of this contradiction a few years ago...Read all.

Amy Schneider is not the first woman to hit a million dollars on Jeopardy. Science and biology make that quite clear. If you want to call him the first trans woman, fine.
