Infrastructure Bill Is a Plan to Make
It Too Expensive to Drive a Car

The cost of living is on the rise, calls for yet another wave of pandemic restrictions have begun and now, buried deep in the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill, the left has laid out yet another idea to bring Americans to their knees. Make no mistake: The suffering is intentional, goal-oriented and not bound to stop anytime soon. (Snip) “Buried on page 508 of the 2,702 page infrastructure bill is a pilot program for a national motor vehicle per-mile user fee (MBUF) which is basically a long-term plan to make it too expensive to drive a car,” Short said Tuesday on Twitter.

Comments:

The greens have long wanted such a measure. They and the rest of the left hate the idea of Americans driving because we can drive wherever and whenever we want. They want everyone on public transit and living in high-rises next to train stations. Control over us is what they want.

Those people who choose to live in rural areas and commute substantial distances to jobs in or near cities, especially those who use larger vehicles, like pickup trucks, would be ruined. This is THE way to force us into apartments and other tightly packed living arrangements where we can be more easily controlled. Your freedom offends these Marxist more than anything else. Ordinary people, free to live where they choose, work where the choose, create their own lives, their own companies, and to travel wherever they choose, whenever they choose is OFFENSIVE and unacceptable to these hateful control freaks. Freedom must be STOPPED. That's their motto, that's what they work for every day, all day.

Well DUH! There already is a per-mile fee on cars - - it's called the gasoline tax. All of us have always known the bitter hatred that commies and other crazed leftists have for the automobile. As other posters have already pointed out - - having a car and a tank full of gasoline gives you the freedom to wander where you choose to. And that's something that commies can never tolerate. I hope our fellow Americans will wake up from their deep slumber - - because our elected Pubbies never will.

To be fair, Wokesters probably don't think of individual property and liberty as inherently evil -- just things that should be protected only for them and their ideological allies. The only things we deplorables have a right to in their view is servitude and extermination.

East / West Coast liberal elite and government biggies don't care about us having to pay a per mile fee. They are chauffeured around in private cars or government vehicles and won't need to pay the fees. They don't care that the price of all goods and services will rise due to the new fees. Everything will be more expensive. Of course as prices rise, people will have less money to spend on what they need so they will expect their wages to increase. That will increase prices even more or put people out of business. Democrats who proposed this per mile fee will act all surprised at the negative economic impact and blame everyone else but themselves and their fees.

There re probably lot of other hidden gems like this one in the "Infrastructure" bill. These hidden items are most probably the reason why Chuck Schumer and Democrats so passionately felt that the bill needed to be voted on before it was even fully written. Like Pelosi said with Obama Care, you need to pass it to see what is in it. That did not work out too well for anyone, did it.

You jest, #19, but are you aware that the SCOTUS has ruled that wheat that you grow on your own land, which never leaves your property and is used by only you, your family and your livestock is "in interstate commerce" and therefore subjected to government control via the Interstate Commerce Act? Yep, it's true. "Interstate commerce" is ANYTHING that they decide it is, even if there is no "interstate" or no "commerce", they can still decide that they control it. . Check out Wickard v. Filburn (1942). In 1918 the courts had ruled that the Feds could not control production in any way under the Constitution. But, under Roosevelt, that all changed, and the Feds became all powerful, by corrupt, fraudulent rulings like this one.

Other than a very few mass transit routes, the trains and buses are EMPTY. First, the government builds and operates mass-transit and when nobody rides, they have to block our freedom by making it impossible to travel. 99% of the country isn't NY, Chicago or SanFrancisco ( Thank God)

A former U.S. national security official warned that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is stealing data to compile a “dossier” on every American adult and may use coercive means to influence private citizens and political leaders. During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing this week, former Trump deputy national security adviser Matthew Pottinger said the CCP has stolen Americans’ sensitive data via illicit methods, including cyber theft and hacking. “Assembling dossiers on people has always been a feature of Leninist regimes, but Beijing’s penetration of digital networks worldwide, including using 5G networks … has really taken this to a new level,” Pottinger said, referring to former Soviet dictator Vladimir Lenin.

On Thursday, Tucker Carlson conducted a fairly in-depth interview with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. It was a fascinating look at a classic liberal: Liberty-oriented values that don’t veer into anarchy, strong principles, and a healthy nationalism. The left has used “nationalism” as a dirty word since Hitler, as they seek a borderless world they can control, but healthy nationalism means doing what Trump did: Putting your countrymen first, without regard for other nations' demands that you subordinate your country to them – and that’s what Orbán does. Orbán was born in Hungary in 1963 when it was still under Soviet control.

The people running our government and fronting Biden had a great day Tuesday. In one fell swoop, with New York Attorney General Letitia James’ case—not even charges, merely a case—against Governor Andrew Cuomo for prolific, ridiculous sexual harassment, they solved a great many of the Biden Administration’s looming problems: political, personnel, and criminal. Indeed, there was lots of winning for the shadowy cabal. (Snip) The national outrage at Cuomo’s handsiness and bullying and the expiation of sin to follow as he leaves the scene, has made it unlikely that Cuomo will ever face justice for the deliberate murder of roughly 15,000 seniors in New York nursing homes.

It’s amazing how many people are trying to tear down present glories in the name of a past none of them have any interest in going back to. Bringing this to mind is the underreported story of the Canadian church burnings, acts inspired by the claim that Christian-run “residential schools” abused, brutalized and murdered Canadian Indian children. I investigated this story recently, and it won’t surprise many readers that the Enemedia have completely misrepresented it. (Snip) Insofar as Indian children were forcibly taken to the schools, it was the result of Canadian government policy; many (in fact most, it appears) Indian parents of school pupils wanted their children to attend;
Classical Music’s Suicide Pact (Part 1) 28 replies

Classical music is under racial attack. Orchestras and opera companies are said to discriminate against black musicians and composers. The canonical repertoire—the product of a centuries-long tradition of musical expression—is allegedly a function of white supremacy. Not one leader in the field has defended Western art music against these charges. Their silence is emblematic. Other supposed guardians of Western civilization, whether museum directors, humanities professors, or scientists, have gone AWOL in the face of similar claims, lest they themselves be denounced as racist.

Fear is contagious. It’s almost as bad as the Delta variant. Again, is the new variant more transmissible? Yes. Is it deadlier? No. Does it make you sicker? No. Are those being impacted primarily the unvaccinated? Most definitely. So, when you want to increase vaccination rates, the government did what it did best: screw things up. Fully vaccinated people now must wear masks again in high-case areas. What constitutes a highly infectious area? Well, that’s not clear yet, but I’m sure the CDC and Dr. Anthony Fauci will make up some science fiction to justify this new mask mandate. The mandates are coming too.

During the rise and fall of the coronavirus last year, vaccines appeared more quickly than expected. Trump’s Operation Warp Speed deserved much of the credit, even though the media was reluctant to give it. Thereafter, the vaccines were rolled out aggressively. (Snip) The vaccine appears to work, at least temporarily. Even with the natural rise and fall of the virus, disease burden was even lower among the vaccinated.

COVID-19 policies had disastrous results on children, especially in California, according to medical researchers at the University of California San Francisco. Jeanne Noble, director of COVID response in the UCSF emergency department, is finishing an academic manuscript on the mental health toll on kids from lockdown policies. She shared a presentation on its major points with Just the News. Suicides in the Golden State last year jumped by 24% for Californians under 18 but fell by 11% for adults, showing how children were uniquely affected by "profound social isolation and loss of essential social supports traditionally provided by in-person school," the presentation says.

In eight years, half of American car buyers will be forced to purchase overpriced, underperforming electric cars they don’t want, courtesy of the federal government and a compliant auto industry.

With a wave of his pen, Biden ordered that 50% of new cars and trucks sold by 2030 are to be electric.
