Libs dream come true. You've been warned!-----A $15 toll to drive into part of Manhattan has been approved. That's a first for US cities

A $15 toll to drive into part of Manhattan has been approved. That's a first for US cities
NEW YORK (AP) — New York is on track to become the first U.S. city with congestion tolls on drivers entering its central business district after transit officials approved a $15 fee for most motorists headed to the busiest part of Manhattan...
The vote authorizes a $15 toll on most commuter passenger vehicles that drive into Manhattan south of 60th Street, a zone that's south of Central Park, during daytime hours. 
Tolls are higher for larger vehicles, and lower for late-night entries into the city, as well as for motorcycles.
Supporters of the new tolls say it will push more people to use public transport...

Exclusive — Gen. Michael Flynn: Deep State at War with ‘America and the American People’

"...on January 5, 2017, a whole bunch of people who worked for former President Barack Obama met in the Oval Office, and “the coup started. - HANNAH KNUDSEN
"The movie, Flynn: Deliver the Truth. Whatever the Cost, details how the Deep State went after Flynn...
“Really, it’s a story of survival. And it’s a story of hope,” he said, explaining that the story is largely about how one responds to the bad things that happen to them...
When asked why the Deep State chose to go after him, Flynn noted that “they’re not just at war with Donald Trump. They’re at war with America and the American people... 
‘Why me?’ And I do describe this in the film because you don’t get to leading one of the largest intel agencies in the world, which I did, you don’t get to being the national security adviser, chosen by a duly-elected president of the United States of America, which I was, I mean, you know, without having your act together, and then, of course, I served five years in combat overseas against foreign enemies,” Flynn said. “The biggest enemies that I faced was right here at home.”

 

Selective enforcement. Selective rewards!

Lack of transparency exposes clear FBI bias | Blaze Media

Sadly, the FBI’s lack of transparency on this issue lays bare its own transparent biases. It is safe to assume that if Hale’s manifesto exonerated her of fostering anti-Christian prejudice or demonstrated anything other than a tragically demented and disturbed mind captured in the throes of psychological disturbance manifesting as “transgenderism,” the FBI would dutifully offer a full report to the American people.

Jaime Escalante: Teacher who expected the best of the worst | Blaze Media

Jaime Escalante: Teacher who expected the best of the worst | Blaze Media

America's broken education system needs fewer credentialed experts and more teachers with high standards. DEI, as everyone knows, stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion. But lately those who notice its corrosive effects on the people it purports to help have come up with a second, more brutally honest meaning: didn't earn it. This might equally apply to the "experts" who have enriched themselves from DEI's application. Take Jo Boaler, a mathematics education professor at Stanford, who's come up with a novel way to help students (often poor and black or Latino) falling behind their peers in eighth-grade algebra. Simply remove it from the curriculum altogether.

The Pennsylvania General Assembly passed the measure partly in response to grants to local and state election offices in 2020, originating with donations from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, that critics say drove up the vote in Democrat-dominated areas.

“The president gave his directive to all of his agencies that they are supposed to facilitate voter registration through third-party agencies, that we can’t get the contracts to or or we don’t know what any of the details are, who they’re working with, and how,” Keefer told The Daily Signal.

"Joe Biden claimed he had travelled over the collapsed Baltimore bridge “many many times” by both car and train, despite the structure not having any railway lines.
In an address to the country after the destruction of the iconic Francis Scott Key Bridge yesterday, the US president promised to provide federal funds to rebuild it and protect the livelihoods of workers at the Port of Baltimore...
“About 1.30am, a container ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which I have been over many many times, commuting from the state of Delaware by train or by car,” he said...
The bridge did not have any railway lines, and has been exclusively used as a roadway since it was built in the early 1970s...

Looting the schools. Destroying the children!-----Flint teachers skip school as student proficiency hits single digits

This was a bad time for a teacher strike By Jamie A. Hope
"A 35% graduation rate indicates that Flint teachers need to spend more time in the classroom, not less.
  • "The district was flush with cash just two years ago, when it received $51,193 per pupil in COVID relief funds – more than any other district in the state and among the top in the nation.
  • The district gave each employee a $20,500 bonus, as previously reported by CapCon. 
  • It also bought 7,200 Chromebooks and iPads, even though there were only 2,989 students at the time...
  • Only 6.9% of the district’s third grade students scored proficient on the English language part of the latest M-STEP (the state’s standardized test), according to the Annual Education Report of the Michigan Department of Education. 
  • Students did even worse in math, with only 3.6% testing as proficiency.

Yet eco-libs love their religion!-----How 'Green' Projects Are Looting the Treasury | The Pipeline

The most egregious theft of collective wealth and well-being -- and it is flat-out theft -- is the churn on “alternative” forms of energy production. - Elizabeth Nickson
"Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama said last week in an interview with Steve Bannon that the U.S. has spent some $7 trillion over budget in the last three years, and 25 percent of that went to "climate change" projects. 
  • They are all like Solyndra, massively subsidized and within a decade, massive failures. 
  • "The investors take a tax loss," said Tuberville, "then move onto the next effort where they again loot the public." This is salted through all the investment banks, retirement accounts. 

 In June of 2023, the Department of Energy admitted that it had allocated $1.3 trillion for "clean energy" investment support since 2020, and that spending rose 25 percent from 2021-23...in an annual gift to the rich... 

Much of this...is direct subsidy to the wealthy in annual subsidies for clean energy. 
This is again, annual subsidy, so look at the last twenty years...we are looking at a $10 - $ 20 trillion gift to the rich since the (Obama) Lightbringer took office...

Opinion: The Cheap Mercedes and the Beautiful Bridge - Illinois Review -  JOHN F. DI LEO
"...But no matter what the cause was, we now know certain things for sure:
• This bridge cost $110 million to build, 50 years ago. It will cost at least 1 billion to replace today, most likely much more than that.
• The world survived without this bridge until 1977. While we have spent 47 years getting used to having it there, we will have to spend at least the next several years living without a bridge there...
• And very few people will ask the question that needs to be asked:
“Should it really be rebuilt?”...
And the proper public policy question must be asked: Is it worth the risk, now that we know what that risk is?...
  • If we rebuild a bridge in front of a huge seaport, with several massive ships – container ships, brake bulk vessels, cruise ships, RO-RO vessels – crossing back and forth under the bridge every day, who’s to say that another ship, five years from now, won’t crash into it again? And then another, four years after that?
  • We don’t build an enormous bridge encircling the port of Los Angeles that ships must travel under, back-and-forth, every hour. The risk of a collision is simply too great with that kind of traffic. Why do we do it in Baltimore?

Soros!
