President Trump cancels the left’s electric vehicle policies

I have always held that if someone wants to buy a plug-in electric vehicle, if he can afford one, he has every right to do so. Alas, Our Betters in the former Biden Administration — and I do so love referring to it as the former Biden Administration! — thought that no, it ought not to be a matter of personal choice or preference, but that people should eventually be required to buy a plug-in electric vehicle. Our American left are pro-choice on exactly one thing.

Trump ended the EV mandate. Here’s what it means for the auto industry.

The transition to electric vehicles is a years-long process that is already underway and faces fierce competition from abroad.

“Democratic strategist” and “Hillary advisor” waxes wroth at the idea of equal treatment under the law

Be aware, when you read Adam Parkhomenko’s tweet, screen captured at the left, that his Twitter biography states that he is a “Dem Strategist. Dad to Cameron, Paxton, Moose and Simba. Former DNC National Field Director, Hillary advisor and more.”

The distinguished Mr Parkhomenko is upset, angry, waxing wroth, because President Donald Trump is ending DEI, the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” programs that the Federal government has been using to base hiring and promotions not on ability or job performance, but whether a prospective candidate is a member of an Accredited Victim Group™.

In the 2003 decision Grutter v Bollinger, Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor said that Affirmative Action plans had to come to an end, that the ‘exception’ the Supreme Court allowed to the 14th Amendment required an end date, and that the Court anticipated that, 25 years from then, they’d expect to see all accomplished, and Affirmative Action ended.

When family members play heroes of the Soviet Union

Pavel Trofimovich Morozov (Па́вел Трофи́мович Моро́зов) was a supposed hero of the Soviet Union:

In 1932, at the age of 13, Morozov reported his father to the political police (GPU). Supposedly, Morozov’s father, Trofim, the chairman of the Gerasimovka Village Soviet, had been “forging documents and selling them to the bandits and enemies of the Soviet State” (as the sentence read). Trofim Morozov was sentenced to ten years in a labour camp, where his sentence was changed to death, which was fulfilled. However, Pavlik’s family did not take kindly to his reporting his father and on 3 September of that year, his uncle, grandfather, grandmother, and a cousin murdered him, along with his younger brother. All of them except the uncle were rounded up by the GPU and sentenced to “the highest measure of social defense” – execution by a firing squad.

Thousands of telegrams from all over the Soviet Union urged the judge to show no mercy for Pavlik’s killers. The Soviet government declared Pavlik Morozov a glorious martyr who had been murdered by reactionaries. Statues of him were built, and numerous schools and youth groups were named in his honour. An opera and numerous songs were written about him. The Gerasimovka school that Morozov attended, became a shrine, and children from all over the Soviet Union went on school excursions to visit it.

The entire story may have been a fabrication by the Soviet Communist Party under Josef Vissarionovich Stalin, yet another of the typical propaganda stories. Who, after all, could imagine a 13-year-old denouncing his own father to the police? Continue reading →

The Justice Department said that pardons do not mean innocence . . . when it comes to the J6 defendants. The same must hold true for those pardoned by Joe Biden

After Donald Trump won the 2024 election, with an open promise to pardon the Capitol kerfufflers, the Department of Justice, under President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland, a man who hates Republicans for denying him a seat on the Supreme Court, wanted to let the January 6 political prisoners that the acceptance of a pardon on their part was an admission of guilt.

Three percent of Philadelphians are in the country illegally So, why didn't that 'sanctuary city' do something to 'regularize' their presence in the US while Joe Biden was in office?

“The population of foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia was 1,603,797 according to the 2020 census, yet the July 1,2023 guesstimate was 1,550,542, a 3.32% loss in residents. Now, The Philadelphia Inquirer is telling us that 47,000 people in the City of Brotherly Love are in the United States illegally, which works out to 3.03% of the population. That’s not a small issue.

Immigration advocates brace for Trump’s Day 1 deportation orders that could target 47,000 in Philadelphia

President-elect Donald Trump has promised mass deportations. That could include thousands of people living in Philadelphia.

I check Bluesky so you don’t have to! Will Bunch would rather see more killing than Donald Trump win a Nobel Peace Prize

I will admit it: I have spent far too much of the past couple of days in schadenfreude over the apoplexy of the left that Donald Trump is going to be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States at noon on Monday. Most of the stuff was by people as no named as me, and a lot of it was simply silly beyond belief. Mr Trump moved the inauguration indoors due to the bitterly cold weather forecast for Washington DC, about 20º F, with wind chills in the single digits, so the left have been claiming that it wasn’t the weather, but that the President was afraid, afraid that the number of protesters would outnumber supporters, and that he just wasn’t tough enough, as Presidents John F Kennedy and Barack Hussein Obama had inaugurations outdoors in similarly cold weather.

We might as well face it: the very bitter left will say anything to insult Mr Trump.

More interesting to me was this skeet — a skeet is what a tweet on Bluesky is called — from Will Bunch, the far-left columnist of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Mr Bunch wrote that he literally felt sick to his stomach over the idea that our incoming President was “already Nobel Peace Prize shopping, peering down the aisles of conflict and crisis to gauge the easiest route to capturing the coveted award to adorn the lobby of Mar-a-Lago,” and that The Washington Post’s new contributing columnist, Rahm Emanuel, argued that “even Trump’s fiercest opponents ought to encourage this yen — and even root him on.” Continue reading →

I might be stealing William Teach’s schtick with this one, but it’s too good to pass up.

Burning Teslas in LA Add to Toxic Mix Hindering Wildfire Cleanup

As the smoke clears from devastating Los Angeles wildfires, efforts to clean up the affected areas are being complicated by burnt-out electric and hybrid vehicles and home-battery storage systems. Continue reading →

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy

Thanks to Stacey Matthews, who has been writing as Sister Toldjah for twenty years now — she ‘outed’ herself from her anonymity when a stalker ferreted out her identification and was getting ready to publish it — on RedState, I found this gem, from The Sacramento Bee:

Killadelphia

It’s been a while since I posted a “Killadelphia” article, but it seems that the City of Brotherly Love, despite a dramatically reduced homicide rate the past couple of years, still likes seeing blood flowing down the gutters.

North Philly teen killed in shooting was a student athlete who had the highest SAT score at Samuel Fels

Another teen, an 18-year-old whom police did not identify, was fatally shot hours earlier on the 6100 block of Vine Street, police said.
