"A 12-year-old EV will be on its third battery."

"Ileana Johnson--Thoughts to ponder:
- In order to match the 2,000 cars that a typical filling station can service in a busy 12 hours, an EV charging station would require 600, 50-watt chargers at an estimated cost of $24 million and a supply of 30 megawatts of power from the grid. That is enough to power 20,000 homes.
- ...it can take 30 minutes to 8 hours to recharge a vehicle between empty or just topping off. ...installing electric car charging stations in a city is impractical: “If you’ve got cars coming into a petrol station, they would stay for an average of five minutes. If you’ve got cars coming into an electric charging station, they would be at least 30 minutes, possibly an hour, but let’s say its 30 minutes. So that’s six times the surface area to park the cars while they’re being charged....
- Used Car Market--The average used EV will need a new battery before an owner can sell it, pricing them well above used internal combustion cars. The average age of an American car on the road is 12 years. A 12-year-old EV will be on its third battery. A Tesla battery typically costs $10,000 so there will not be many 12-year-old EVs on the road...Read all.
Some fear a recession is 'inevitable' thanks to Biden's economic woes and the Fed's horrible track record for fixing inflation - TheBlaze
Some fear a recession is 'inevitable' thanks to Biden's economic woes and the Fed's horrible track record for fixing inflation - TheBlaze:
In its report on the Fed's inflation-fixing track record, Politico begrudgingly noted that worries surrounding a recession are "more pronounced" this time around due to "extraordinary circumstances" plaguing the U.S. economy under President Joe Biden.
Such circumstances include historically high inflation, major supply chain disruptions, widespread staffing shortages, and a war in Ukraine that has upended global energy markets.

Biden admin invents 'Securities and Environment Commission' out of thin air to force climate agenda on US businesses - TheBlaze:
In a 3-to-1 vote last week, unelected Democratic bureaucrats who serve as the agency's commissioners voted without authorization from Congress to impose sweeping new rules that require all publicly traded companies to disclose how their business affects "climate change."

Covid Pandemic and Climate Change Facts: Fact Checking the Fact Checkers
"...In the two of the most contentious areas of contemporary affairs – the impact of the covid pandemic and climate change on lives and livelihood – the question of just what the “facts” are remains as elusive to many of us as to our parents and grandparents who grappled with problems of their own times.
... today’s factcheckers are self-appointed media gatekeepers. They purport to winnow out the chaff of misinformation and “fake news” from the grain of facts and narrative truth.
- But are they the guardians of truth and accountability as they claim or are they the enforcers of the reigning political narrative?
- Are they the arbiters of “consensus science” (an oxymoron) that allegedly encompasses truths about climate change or the covid pandemic?
- Are they the stalwarts of partisan politics, purveyors themselves of fakery and hype that they claim to combat?...Read all.

"The conflicts have been, you know, questioned by everyone, including, like, Sean Hannity," Cupp said of Justice Thomas and his wife, adding that "outrage is warranted" and that Justice Thomas should be examined to determine whether he has a conflict of interest.
"But," Cupp continued, "you don’t have to look far to find a very similar story that was really ignored by the media and, in fact, called false over and over and over again."

Black reparations panel could decide who gets compensation | AP News
"California’s first-in-the-nation task force on reparations is at a crossroads, with members divided on which Black Americans should be eligible for compensation as atonement for a slave system that officially ended with the Civil War but reverberates to this day.
- Some members want to limit financial and other compensation to descendants of enslaved people
- while others say that all Black people in the U.S., regardless of lineage, suffer from systemic racism in housing, education and employment.
...California Assemblyman Reginald Jones-Sawyer, a member of the task force, said there is no question that descendants of slaves are the priority, but he said the task force also needs to stop ongoing harm and prevent future harm from racism...Read all.

“What didn’t happen was even minimal checks to make sure that the money was getting to the right people at the right time.”
- They came into their riches by participating in what experts say is the theft of as much as $80 billion — or about 10 percent — of the $800 billion handed out in a Covid relief plan known as the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP.
- That’s on top of the $90 billion to $400 billion believed to have been stolen from the $900 billion Covid unemployment relief program — at least half taken by international fraudsters — as NBC News reported last year.
- And another $80 billion potentially pilfered from a separate Covid disaster relief program.
- ...The SBA inspector general found $78.1 billion in the Economic Injury Disaster Loans, another COVID relief program. The Secret Service estimates $100 billion was stolen.
Then there’s Danielle Miller. Federal prosecutors claimed she stole from a Massachusetts state website and used the information to get relief money. Miller showed off her lifestyle on social media...Read all!!

Too Much Lake Water is Climate Change, Not Enough Lake Water is Climate Change. - The Lid
- The Great Lakes in the north-central U.S. is a perfect example of how leftist green loons think climate change can be blamed for literally everything.
And because there wasn’t enough water in the lakes, greenies were running around with their hair on fire because “climate change” had destroyed the Great Lakes permanently.
The water was never going to rise again, they said.
Take this report from Chicago’s public TV station, WTTW, for instance.

"...And those warmer temperatures lead to less ice formation and still more evaporation. “When the lakes are changing that dramatically, that is a change in the climate,” Gronewold said..."Oh, the humanities. It looks bad for the Great Lakes, folks.

Things began to change.
...By 2022 the Great Lakes had filled back up, and then the greenies were worried that there was TOO much water.
