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

“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  •  2 years 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...

Donald Trump fires back at AG Merrick Garland over FBI's Mar-a-Lago raid: 'Release the documents now!'

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  29 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  2 years ago

“Former President Donald Trump has approved of the Justice Department's release of a search warrant and a property receipt used during their raid on...”

Hoo, boy!  Garland really screwed that pooch.  Biden won't be able to sit out this little firestorm.  Wonder who will be the next Attorney General? Of course the warrant and property receipt had already been leaked before any sort of formal release.  That shouldn't be surprising since this...

Where's the progressive plan to fix government?

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  1 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  2 years ago

“Democrats must start reviving Americans' confidence in their government's ability to help them solve their problems.”

The political left is completely, totally, utterly clueless.  Do Democrats really believe Trump's political rallies were packed because of his rock star celebrity, his name recognition, his eloquence, his power of persuasion?  Is that why Democrats are spending political donations and giving...

Most electric vehicles won't qualify for federal tax credit

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  2 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  2 years ago

“The $7,500 credit might exist on paper but no vehicles will qualify for this purchase over the next few years.”

Automakers can whine and cry.  Automakers pleading poverty and victimhood requires suspending disbelief. The bottom line is that automakers wanting the Federal goodies need to build vehicles that qualify.  The Federal government isn't responsible for automaker's incompetent operation of their...

Karine Jean-Pierre stresses peace as online talk of violence ramps up after Mar-a-Lago search

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  75 Comments  •  4 Likes  •  2 years ago

“There is no place for political violence in this country.”

Does this sound like a President who is in charge?  The official message is that Biden was completely out of the loop.  And a generic milquetoast condemnation of political violence doesn't inspire confidence in Biden's leadership. A compliant press can publish all sorts of argle-bargle about...

Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week: An ambiguous backwards car

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  33 Comments  •  4 Likes  •  2 years ago

“This funny-looking electric car is nearly symmetrical from the front to the back.”

So, how do you produce an electric car with a $2,264 sticker price?  China can do it, apparently. No, it's not a muscle car.  No it's not fast, sleek, and loaded with luxury.  No, it's not a long range, open road cruiser.  But if $3,000 electric cars were available then more people might try...

“The Biden administration has resumed construction on the U.S.-Mexico border wall near Yuma, Arizona, as the Homeland Security Department announced...”

Note that the Biden administration is claiming Trump made them build more wall.

How the U.S. gave away a breakthrough battery technology to China

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  1 Comments  •  3 Likes  •  2 years ago

“Taxpayers spent $15 million on research to build a breakthrough battery. Then the U.S. government gave it to China.”

So, what's the point of the Federal government spending money on research in the United States?  The only research of value in the United States either provides entertainment or tells us how awful things are.  Any Federal research that has economic value is given to other countries and provides...

Tonga's eruption injected so much water into Earth's atmosphere that it could weaken the ozone layer

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  8 Comments  •  1 Like  •  2 years ago

“The atmospheric water vapor could also contribute to global warming.”

Another piece of the puzzle.  Pre-industrial CO2 levels in the atmosphere have been attributed to vulcanism.  Observation of the Tonga eruption suggests that vulcanism may have also injected water into the atmosphere.  Pre-industrial warming of the planet may not have been caused by CO2 alone....
