Nearly 100 Republicans demand Pelosi hold Biden accountable for $500B student debt handout

“President Biden is a desperate politician”

$500 billion?  That's more than the unprecedented, historic spending to address climate change in the Inflation Reduction Act.  And the student loan forgiveness hasn't been spread over 10 years as was the IRA. But what the heck.  Biden's polling is awful and it's only money, after all.  

New Evetta Openair is retro-styled micro-EV you can soak up the sun in

“Looking for a retro-styled, convertible micro-electric car? Electric vehicle manufacturer Electricbrands might just have the answer.”

Another retro-styled EV.  Tastes vary but some of these European retro-styles are kinda cool. Yep, these cars are basically oversized golf carts.  But this is likely the future for adoption of EVs.  With a range of 120 miles and a top speed of 55 mph these vehicles are practical for most needs...

Putin signs decree to give money to Ukrainians who fled war to Russia

“Data from the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees shows that more than 2.3 million Ukrainian refugees have been reported to have fled to Russia...”

Will Poland do the same?  Yes, Putin is using a propaganda ploy.  But the problem is it's an effective propaganda ploy. Rumors will spread.  Eventually Ukrainian refugees that fled west will be expecting a stipend, too.  If Russia can do it then surely the United States can do it better.  Putin...

It's Now Illegal for Anyone Under 21 to Buy Canned Whipped Cream in NY

“The law is meant to prevent teens from inhaling nitrous oxide in canned whipped cream.”

Nanny state to the rescue!!  Marijuana is legal and 14 year old girls can get an abortion but you have to be carded to buy Reddi-Wip.

NYC needs info on migrants, now — or faces being overwhelmed

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  14 Comments  •  6 Likes  •  4 weeks ago

“According to an analysis, it could cost New York City $300 million per year to provide shelter for newly arrived migrants in hotels.”

So, New York wants a 'Remain in Texas' policy to allow planning?  That was the point of the Remain in Mexico policy that Biden has been fighting.  Just because Trump initiated the Remain in Mexico policy doesn't mean it's a bad idea. New York's 'crisis' has been directly caused by Biden's...

The Trump affidavit shows the Mar-a-Lago search was hardly capricious

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  2 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  one month ago

“There’s much we still don’t know now.”

Capricious?  The editorial board of a major newspaper addresses an issue that ain't.  And we're supposed to believe that this newspaper is not attempting to misdirect public attention and misinform the public? No one has claimed that Merrick Garland, the DOJ, or the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago on a...

EV prices are going in the wrong direction

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  10 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  one month ago

“Up — they’re going up”

Harsh reality tempered with rosy projections and blue-sky promises doesn't bode well for the future.  Keep in mind that the Affordable Care Act didn't reduce the cost of medical care.  And Federally subsidized EVs won't become cheaper, either. The trend in EV design is following the same path...

Buick Electra EV: Wildcat Coupe Concept Will Inspire Striking New SUVs

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  39 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  one month ago

“Future EVs for Buick will be called Electra, followed by an alphanumeric designation, and utilize GM's Ultium battery and platform tech.”

Yep, tastes vary but IMO that is one butt-ugly Buick.  These concept cars highlight why American automakers won't be competitive in the EV market. American car designers are headed down the business-as-usual path of branding, logos, and marketing of questionable styling.  Why is there a need...

Trump passports taken in FBI search of Mar-a-Lago returned to former president

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  13 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  one month ago

“The FBI said in a statement it "follows search and seizure procedures ordered by courts, then returns items that we do not need to be retained for...”

Once more unto the breach.  Trump has threatened the self-delusional smug attitude of liberal superiority.  No one should be surprised that liberals have gone Soviet. The FBI has tacitly admitted they weren't searching for anything.  The raid on Mar-a-Lago was a fishing expedition to seize...

What America's Great Unwinding Would Mean for the World

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  1 Comments  •  1 Like  •  one month ago

“The conundrum facing America's allies is how to cope with a great imperial power in decline that is still a great imperial power.”

The article provides a very good example for the thinking process of illiberal liberals.  The real problem is presented succinctly:  Europe is dependent upon Russia for energy, China for trade, and the United States for security.  In Amurica-speak, Europe has become freeloaders.  It shouldn't be...
