Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg might have to start biking to work again like a total nerd. That's because the Mexican-made electric SUV he purchased last year for his security detail is being recalled due to a safety defect that "could result in a loss of power [while driving], which could cause a crash," according to Consumer Reports. Ford announced Tuesday that it was instructing car dealers to stop selling the Mustang Mach-E in response to the safety concern affecting nearly 49,000 of the 100,000 vehicles manufactured at the automaker's Cuautitlan

Another green piece of crap. We had a plug-in hybrid for 1 week (rental) - it was garbage.

Poor pete and chastain. So powerful and still they have to be bothered with proletariat failures. Perhaps a 6 month re-education program on the farm will focus the designers’ minds.

Electric vehicles are only useful for short haul around town driving, worthless for cross country driving. And that only satisfies a small fraction of owners, especially at sky high prices. And of course, the batteries randomly catch fire and are essentially impossible to extinguish.

All of these EV's suck and I own a hybrid. I do, however, know that if my battery dies, which it will some day, I have a gasoline engine to get me where I have to go. Together they work very well. I do get around fifty one miles to the gallon, which helps with Xidens gas prices, but I will not go to a full electric vehicle. They need to have another ten to fifteen years of research IMHO.

Urban areas yes. Everywhere else No! We will see the problem once an area experiences major power outages due to natural disaster or other causes. How do you rebuild a city when everything is dependent on electricity. Battery powered power line repair trucks? Where do they get their power to recharge when restoring destroyed power systems and lines? Removing debris after a Hurricane or the mess after 911 in NY? Impractical other than urban personal transportation.

Another of Biden’s cruel jokes on the American people, as noted in AutoWeek’s 12/21/21 article: “The Biden Administration’s Environmental Protection Agency on Monday announced tougher final clean car standards for light-duty vehicles through 2026. The action, which would result in a fleet-wide average of 40 miles per gallon by 2026….. Under President Trump, the US fleet would have reached a 32-mpg average by 2026.” Biden’s mandate via the EPA begins with 2023 model year cars, pickups and SUVs. Since this elimination of consumer choice has been promulgated without Congressional approval, 2022 elections cannot change rule. Neither can the election of a Republican president in 2024. Or to paraphrase Henry Ford, you can buy any new vehicle as long as it’s either a micro car or an EV.

The headline is misleading. Here is a FTA from the close of paragraph 3: “The Mach-E has a starting price of $43,895, although most new models for sale in the Washington, D.C., area are listed in the $60,000 to $80,000 price range.”

Folks could just buy a fuel efficient traditional ICE Japanese car like a Nissan made right here in Tennessee, Honda made in Alabama, or Toyota made in Kentucky. Japanese cars made in the USA are my preference now to be honest.

I used to know a number of people who saved their funds and went to Germany personally to pick out their new vehicle. Back then, it was cheaper to buy it there and ship it back here than to buy it off the lot here. Germany exported their lesser quality vehicles to America for a long time and kept the good ones for their nation. After all, how would we know the difference?

The topics of local military conflicts and illegal human organ trade always go hand in hand, since military actions are not just about solving geopolitical issues and commonplace profiting off the arms trafficking but also about illegal human organ trade. Organ buyer-ups and black-market transplant surgeons have long become ordinary elements of the military landscape just like mercenaries, New Eastern Outlook wrote at the end of March. On 29 May 2022, the Russian Investigative Committee said it will look into allegations the Ukrainian Red Cross Society was involved in shady activities, including keeping records of children with “healthy organs” in the city of Mariupol.

It looks like the pandemic and the social distancing, stay at home rules are claiming another victim. Dick’s Sporting Goods has announced that they will be sending the majority of their workers home on furlough. Employees will still be able to keep their employee benefits during this period, however, which is at least somewhat generous of them. A limited number of workers will be kept active on the payroll to handle curbside delivery purchases and fill online orders. Other than that, however, it will be mostly lights out until the economy is turned back on.

Rep. Al Green is leading an effort to make 2022 the first year that would mark the anniversary of the first slave ships arriving in North America 400 years ago. The Texas Democrat, who introduced a resolution last November, is hoping to renew the push as the country celebrates Juneteenth on Sunday, and the federal holiday on Monday. “Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom. Slavery Remembrance is a commemoration of slavery itself and it will help us to make sure that we don’t see it sanitized. We want to tell the truth about it,” Mr. Green told The Washington Times.(Snip)The joint resolution was also introduced by Sen. Elizabeth Warren

It’s no secret to anybody paying attention that Joe Biden has an unwholesome obsession with little children, especially little girls. He can’t seem to keep his eyes, his hands, or his nose off them. The Daily Mail has also released text from a diary kept by Ashley Biden, Joe’s drug-addicted, sex-addicted daughter, mentioning inappropriate showers with her father at a young age that may have led to her unhealthy sexual obsessions. Tucker Carlson, upon learning of this, launched an incendiary attack against Biden, the system that’s long protected him from closer scrutiny, and the DOJ and FBI harassing journalists for investigating the story.

Van Jones may be a liberal, but when he’s right, he’s right. On Friday, he was right as he delivered a concise and effective critique of the current state of the Democrat Party. While making one of his regular appearances on CNN, the former Obama administration official explained how Democrats are completely out of touch with the working class, creating a party comprised of tone-deaf elites. But it’s the way he explained things that eventually left the anchors sitting in stunned silence. Really, the looks on the faces of Brianna Keilar and John Berman are just priceless. (Tweet/Video)

The Nativity School of Worcester has been sanctioned by Robert J. McManus, the Bishop of the Diocese of Worcester, for their refusal to take them down. He says the facility - the only tuition-free private school in the region - cannot continue to call itself Catholic while flying in the face of key church teachings. The school, run by Principal Emily Kent is the only tuition-free private middle school in the region and serves about 60 students.
