Pete Buttigieg says electric cars shouldn't
be a 'luxury' and unveils Biden's $5 BILLION
plan to put charging stations every 50
miles on interstates by 2030 - despite
as little as 7% of Americans owning EVs
Posted By: Ribicon, 2/11/2022 1:10:35 AM
The Biden administration is putting out new details on its effort to create 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations–with new efforts to push out funds to have them line interstates at 50-mile intervals. The administration is awarding $5 billion over five years to states to have them build thousands of electric vehicle charging stations. Another $2.5 billion will go out in grants to be decided later. It all comes from the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure plan that was enacted late last year and that the administration continues to sell, amid the collapse of Biden's Build Back Better plan. The charging stations would work with all electric vehicles

A HITMAN who gunned down a reality TV star’s brother in front of his family was caught thanks to a ripped airline ticket. Anis Fouad Hemissi, 24, murdered Flamur Beqiri, 36, outside his £1.8million house in Battersea, South London, on Christmas Eve, 2019. He was convicted at Southwark crown court, London, yesterday. Beqiri had fled Sweden to escape a brutal drug war between two gangs. He was the brother of Real Housewives of Cheshire star Misse Beqiri, 35, and was shot eight times in front of his wife Debora Krasniqi and their young son.(Snip)Prosecutor Mark Heywood told jurors the killing was “as brutal as it was thoroughly shocking”.
Eric Trump has shared a video showing his wife's clutch purse emblazoned with 'FJB,' an abbreviation for a crude insult against President Joe Biden. The son of the former president posted the video to Instagram on Friday, showing a humorous sticker blaming Biden for higher prices at the gas pump at a Marathon station.
The sticker shows an image of Biden pointing to the sales total on the pump, with the caption 'I did that!' in a reference to criticism the president has faced over soaring gas prices and inflation.(Snip)The video, which features the song Lets Go Brandon by Loza Alexander, pans from the gas pump to the vehicle,
A 15-year-old boy has been arrested and charged with hate crimes in two separate Brooklyn assaults just minutes apart, police said Friday. The teen, whose name is being withheld by police due to his age, was arrested Thursday in connection to a back-to-back punching spree Feb. 4. In one assault, the boy was caught on camera sneaking up behind a Hasidic man walking with another person on Stockton St. near Marcy Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant just after 10:25 p.m., cops said. The teen sucker-punched the 24-year-old man and took off, officials said.(Snip)About ten minutes earlier, the teen had socked another victim
Election supervisors in Texas have warned that new stricter voter ID requirements ahead of next month’s state governor’s primary have already resulted in an uncharacteristically high number of ballot rejections. Voting rights activists have expressed fears that new laws making access to the vote more difficult–that have been passed in many states across the US by Republicans–will impact Democrat-leaning voters of color. According to officials in media reports, as many as 40% of roughly 3,600 returned ballots in Harris county, Texas’ most populous county that incorporates Houston, have lacked the identification number required under Senate Bill 1, a Republican-sponsored bill designed to tie voters to valid IDs.
A groom-to-be has been forced to change a tattoo with the time and date of his wedding after his dream venue cancelled his big day because it became a hotel to house asylum seekers. Michael Crane, 37, and his fiancée Linda Brown, 42, from Warrington, Cheshire, were looking forward to their wedding day on 5th August this year, so much so that Michael got the time and date with 'Always and forever' above it tattooed on the back of his hand. But on Monday, they were left with the news that Best Western Park Hall Hotel in Lancashire they paid £4,000 to book was closing as a wedding
Left-wing billionaire George Soros has pumped more than $500,000 into the New York City college that serves as a breeding ground for woke district attorneys. The Dem donor’s charities have funded research and financed programs and a workshop at CUNY’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan, according to public records reviewed by The Post.(Snip)John Jay, a traditional training school for cops, is home to the Institute for Innovation in Prosecution, which pushes the controversial progressive ideas adhered to by Democratic District Attorneys such as Manhattan’s Alvin Bragg, Chicago’s Kim Foxx and Los Angeles’ George Gascon, who have pushed for lighter sentences or the downgrading of serious
Dubai, United Arab Emirates—U.S. F-22 fighter jets arrived in the United Arab Emirates on Saturday, part of an American defense response to recent missile attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels targeting the country. The Raptors landed at Al-Dhafra Air Base in Abu Dhabi, which hosts some 2,000 U.S. troops. American soldiers there launched Patriot interceptor missiles in response to the Houthi attacks last month, the first time U.S. troops have fired the system in combat since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
American officials declined to say how many F-22s deployed or the number of airmen supporting the aircraft, citing operational security.
The Department of Homeland Security has sent 500 extra employees to southern California ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl to help local cops prevent possible game-day disruptions by truckers similar to ones in Canada protesting COVID-19 vaccine mandates. White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Friday that DHS was working with the California Highway Patrol, the Los Angeles Police Department, and state and local authorities to help counter any protests. She said the 500 DHS workers were already “providing extensive air and maritime security resources.” “The Department of Homeland Security is surging additional staff to its incident command post,” she said.
“My 600-Lb. Life” star Destinee LaShaee, the reality series’ first transgender cast member, has died at age 30. LaShaee’s brother Wayne Compton confirmed the news via Facebook Tuesday afternoon, E! News reports. “No no no I’m sorry bro, I accept you for you who are, I accept every flaw that come with you,” Compton wrote. “I’m sorry you felt alone, I’m sorry you felt you had nobody else to turn too [sic], I’m sorry you felt you had no other option.” TLC told the Daily News in a statement: “TLC is saddened to learn of the loss of Destinee Lashae, whose weight-loss story was featured
Atlanta—A federal cybersecurity agency is reviewing a report that alleges security vulnerabilities in voting machines used by Georgia and other states and says the document shouldn’t be made public until the agency has had time to assess and mitigate potential risks. The report has been under seal since July in federal court in Atlanta, part of a long-running lawsuit challenging Georgia’s voting machines. Its author, J. Alex Halderman, said in sworn declarations filed publicly with the court that he examined the Dominion Voting Systems machines for 12 weeks and identified “multiple severe security flaws” that would allow bad actors to install malicious software.
Houston’s main transportation authority has been slammed on social media for its “performative” tribute to Rosa Parks. Texas’ Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County—better known as METRO—revealed last week that they were placing a yellow seat at the front of each of their public buses to mark what would have been Parks’ 109th birthday. The statement was accompanied by a photograph of one of the seats, inscribed with the words “Dedicate to the Memory of Rosa Parks.” METRO stated that the seats would be a permanent addition on their buses as a way to honor Parks’ “act of courage.” Parks become a leading figure in the Civil Rights
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said that 'everything is on the table' to end the Freedom Convoy demonstrations blockading key border crossings to the US, after speaking directly with President Joe Biden. 'President Biden and I both agreed that for the security of people and the economy, these blockades cannot continue,' Trudeau said at a press briefing. 'Make no mistake, the border cannot and will not remain closed.' 'Everything is on the table because this unlawful activity has to end, and it will end,' Trudeau said, declining to offer specifics on a police action at the Ambassador Bridge, which is now widely expected after the provincial premier of Ontario

Joe Biden has tapped an LGBTQ+ activist, drag queen “pup” fetishist to be the deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Energy Department’s Office of Nuclear Energy.
The Politico reported the news on Thursday: (snip) Sam Brinton, according to his profile on an LGBTQ website, has “a dual Master’s degree in engineering systems and nuclear science and engineering from MIT.”
In his spare time, Brinton also enjoys roleplaying as a “pup handler,” and talking about having sex with animals. His drag queen alter ego is “Sister Ray Dee O’Active,” The National Pulse reported. Brinton is reportedly the son of Southern Baptist missionaries

As buzz builds about who will push for the 2024 presidency in both major parties, one of the most unlikely names continues popping up in the news.
Hillary Clinton is making headlines as she sets up speaking engagements, shows up to campaign events, and sells merchandise poking fun at onetime rival Donald Trump. The former first lady, New York senator, secretary of state, and defeated 2016 Democratic nominee is back in the spotlight as President Joe Biden stumbles.
Sam Brinton (“they/them”), had some “pretty BIG news” for his friends and followers on LinkedIn recently: “I have accepted the offer to serve as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy for the Department of Energy. In this role I’ll be doing what I always dreamed of doing, leading the effort to solve the nation’s nuclear waste challenges.” Brinton also noted proudly that he would “even be (to my knowledge) the first gender fluid person in federal government leadership.” He is much more than that. He is, to the best of my knowledge, the first drag queen and the first person

Veteran GOP strategist Karl Rove is under fire hours before he is set to speak at a major gathering of Republicans in Missouri, Breitbart News has learned, all while his failures on redistricting nationwide become clearer.
Rove, who is scheduled to keynote the Missouri Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner in St. Louis on Saturday night, is a senior adviser nationally to a group called the National Republican Redistricting Trust (NRRT). The GOP redistricting group NRRT, Rove wrote in a 2021 op-ed for the Wall Street Journal announcing his appointment to it, “was formed in response to Democratic efforts organized in 2016
The U.S. Army unveiled a plan this week to tackle issues surrounding climate change, including the establishment of an electric vehicle fleet, as well as the reduction of the branch's greenhouse gas emissions.
The plan, outlined by the Army in a document titled "Climate Strategy," calls for the service to cut its emissions by 50% by 2030 from 2005 levels and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The strategy aims to establish an "all-electric light-duty non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2027" and an "all-electric non-tactical vehicle fleet by 2035."
"There are 950 renewable energy projects supplying 480 megawatts of power to the Army today … scoped and planned through 2024," the Army strategy stated.

Protesters blocking the Ambassador Bridge on Friday night decided to defy a deadline of 7pm to clear the route, setting themselves up for a showdown with police after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that 'everything is on the table' to end the Freedom Convoy demonstrations after speaking directly with President Joe Biden.
A Canadian court on Friday issued the injunction to end the blockade at the key bridge connecting Windsor, Ontario with Detroit, setting up a potential showdown between police and protesters when the 7pm deadline arrives.

CNN analyst Juliette Kayyem hastily backtracked her Thursday call for Canadian truckers participating in the protests against the Liberal government's coronavirus policies to have their tires slashed."Earlier today, I tweeted something that has been used by others to suggest I was promoting vigilantism. I was not. People have the freedom to protest. Governments have the responsibility to protect public safety. That was what I intended to say," Kayyem tweeted late Thursday evening. (Tweet) Earlier in the day, Kayyem railed against the truckers, declaring their protest an "economic and security issue," and calling for them to be stopped.
With COVID deaths now topping 910,000, the Biden administration and the rest of the Democratic left are deciding to ease up on their mandate regime. We need to learn to live with COVID, they say – repeating advice President Donald Trump issued back in October 2020.
We’re all for ditching the left’s COVID police state, even if Democrats’ reason is political, as we pointed out in this space yesterday.
But that leaves us with a question: Was any of it worth it? Did any of the guidelines, mandates, orders, shutdowns, cancelations, lockdowns do anything to alter the course of the disease, or

Instead of working to his area of expertise, say, installing lube dispensers in highway rest stop men's rooms, he's spending our money like a sailor on shore leave. The justification? You can drive a car across state lines, so it's an interstate issue and thence under federal purview. Shorten the timeline to the final collapse; we'll be broke in no time.
