A lie from the begining!-----Study Finds Actual Cost of Driving an EV is Equivalent to Paying $17.33 a Gallon

Study Finds Actual Cost of Driving an EV is Equivalent to Paying $17.33 a Gallon - By Steve Straub

"...However, Bennett and Isaac raise an important question: have proponents truly accounted for the myriad of subsidies, regulatory credits, and infrastructure support that bolster the EV market?

• Their research shows that, without the $22 billion in government incentives provided to EV manufacturers and consumers, the average 2021 EV would cost an owner an additional $48,698 over a decade.
• Factoring in these subsidies, the cost of fueling an EV parallels a gasoline price of $17.33 per gallon.
• This figure does not factor in the considerable subsidies included in the misnamed 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, specifically targeting the EV battery production sector...
• Federal and state subsidies and regulatory credits effectively lowered the retail price of EVs by an average of nearly $50,000...

Critics ruthlessly mock teachers' union president over her post about causes of home schooling spike: 'It's you, Randi.' | Blaze Media

Critics ruthlessly mock teachers' union president over her post about causes of home schooling spike: 'It's you, Randi.' | Blaze Media: 

Blaze News noted in May that the National Assessment of Educational Progress's 2022 assessment revealed that grade 8 students' history scores last year were the lowest they had been since the NAEP began monitoring in 1994. Significant declines in academic ability were also observed amongst public grade-schoolers in reading and mathematics as well as in other subjects. Such damning figures cast doubt on whether students are learning anything in public classrooms with ATF-linked educators.

Censors, Censors Everywhere - by Peter Venetoklis

• Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) recently made the news by proposing a restriction on campaign spending by publicly traded companies...
• Meanwhile, Congressman Mike Gallagher (R-WI) doesn't like that Tik Tok is propagandizing against Israel, and wants to ban it. 

...there is enormous peril in allowing the government to hush speech. 

None of us should trust a government truth squad not to weaponize its power in favor of one party or the other.

• Last year, the Biden administration sought to create what was derisively dubbed a "ministry of truth.”...

The system isn't perfect, but no system is. 

Choosing liberty over government power is the better bet just about every time...

Indeed, there are millions who choose to close their eyes to stuff they don't agree with, but will any of them be benefited by having the government act as gatekeeper?...

Left-wing activist eats his own words after complaining about racial framing of white teen's fatal beating | Blaze Media

Left-wing activist eats his own words after complaining about racial framing of white teen's fatal beating | Blaze Media: 

While the victim's family tries to process his death, others are puzzling over why this violent episode has not elicited the kind of national response other racially dichotomous incidents have in recent years. The individual who manages the End Wokeness account on X embraced a turn of phrase often employed by BLM activists, writing Saturday, "Say his name: Jonathan Lewis. Last week, a 17-year-old white teen was beaten to death by a group of black kids. You didn't hear anything about this story because it doesn't fit the narrative."

‘Homophobic,’ ‘dumb’ ‘racist’: Michigan Tech professor rants about YAF event

‘Homophobic,’ ‘dumb’ ‘racist’: Michigan Tech professor rants about YAF event - MATT LAMB 

"A Michigan Technological University professor recently ranted about a mock Berlin Wall display set up by the campus Young Americans for Freedom chapter.
YAF set up the display last week to commemorate the 34th anniversary of the fall of the wall. 

“For those of you who weren’t aware of it [the wall], good. For those of you who were aware of it, it was childish, stupid, homophobic, dumb, racist twits. That’s the polite version,” Professor Blair said...
“That’s not what college should be about. You know, it should be a place where you could learn, experience, do interesting things, have interesting opportunities – hint, hint, study away – uh, rather than wasting your time and having to address idiots,” Blair said. “They’re idiots out there. Sorry, that’s life.”...

Disgusting!

 

2022 Nobel Prize Winner says there is No Climate Crisis

2022 Nobel Prize Winner says there is No Climate Crisis - NAKEDEMPEROR.SUBSTACK.COM

"John Clauser, an American theoretical and experimental physicist...was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics just last year...

He critically examined the spread of information, lamenting the fact that "wrong information is being spread by those with political and opportunistic purposes."...
Turning his critique towards the international scientific community, Clauser voiced his concerns about the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), accusing it of disseminating misinformation about the state of the planet's climate. 

He said, “I don’t think there is a climate crisis…I think the key processes are exaggerated and misunderstood by a factor of about 200.”

In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis. There is, however, a very real problem with providing a decent standard of living to the world’s large population and an associated energy crisis. The latter is being unnecessarily exacerbated by what, in my opinion, is incorrect climate science...

Massive fire in or near homeless camp causes indefinite shutdown of busy section of Interstate 10 in Los Angeles | Blaze Media: 

The overall destruction was so severe that the stretch of I-10 between Alameda and the East L.A. Interchange — a stretch which 300,000 motorists utilize on any given day — had to be closed indefinitely. That section "will remain closed until further notice, and there is currently no estimated time for reopening," said California Highway Patrol Officer Michael Masir.

Surprise, Surprise! Guess What Was Found in Yet Another Gaza Hospital - Spencer Brown

"As Israel Defense Forces continued clearing out Hamas terrorists around Gaza City this week, they made their way to the Al-Shifa Hospital, long believed to be a base of operations for the Iran-backed terrorists, and found exactly what they expected: 

• weapons caches, 
• bastardized hospital equipment, and 
• all the signs of a Hamas HQ hidden within a hospital to use Gazan civilians as human shields...

Scores of looters swarm gas stations and wreak havoc in America's most violent city | Blaze Media: 

Scores of thugs swarmed two Memphis gas stations over the weekend, stealing thousands of dollars of merchandise and destroying property. Looters also hit a 53-foot FedEx semi-trailer, stealing multiple packages. While last year, former District Attorney Amy Weirich indicated that Memphis would trend in this direction if soft-on-crime Democratic professor Steve Mulroy was elected chief prosecutor, the exasperated mayor of America's most dangerous city indicated this week the courts were to blame for failing to ensure that criminals are locked up.
