Joe Biden’s Words Come Back to Haunt

Jackson, Wyoming – Joe Biden boasted two years ago that the CEO of a major electric bus manufacturer was making him “look good” and federal dollars poured into the company. Now those words have come back to haunt him as an entire town’s electric bus fleet backed by the company broke down. The Cowboy State Daily reported Tuesday that Teton County and the town of Jackson wanted a low-emission transit system for the county. The Southern Teton Area Rapid Transit (START) system, a joint operation between Jackson and Teton County, had bought eight electric buses to complement its fleet of 31.

Having actually built a hybrid electric bus from a prototype electric city bus in 1975, after buying the prototype bus from a failed electric bus company.....I'd have never even considered purchasing electric buses. Stupid, stupid, stupid idea. Won't work, won't be cost effective and one of the most important things about selecting a supplier for a piece of equipment that is expected to function for decades is ....how long has the company been in business? How long does look it will continue to be in business? Did I mention that this was a stupid idea in the first place?

#10 on the guffaw scale! I can hear the Queen of School Buses, Harris herself, waxing silly as she rhapsodizes on how much she loves school buses, especially those yellow ones. In cold climates, hilly, snowy often or icey, these vehicles, untested, unsafe, are extravagantly expensive for the Taxpayers (do we really have to reimburse Democrats' bundlers and donors?). In short, the plan is really stupid. Which is probably why Harris is so allured by them. (I do think there is something askew in that noggin of hers.) The important thing is to have safe and reliable transportation for school children. Maintain the vehicles, good tires, and keep the tanks full. Then the wheels of the bus will go 'round and 'round.

It's really hard to run an electric bus without being able to plug it in halfway through its route. Many moons ago, there were electric trolley buses that carried passengers, as those ran by being coupled to overhead wires, and were restricted by the overhead wires. To rely upon electric buses and not be able to get parts is a real "Green" bumber. So Jackson Wyoming's START is up Shite's Creek without power. The irony is so sweet.

Whaaaat! The electric vehicles lost power when temperatures dropped? Who would have ever thought that could happen. Oh well, all they need to do is buy twice and many EV buses so that half can charge while the others operate. Interesting the article did not say what parts the broken buses were needing.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee held the first hearing Thursday in the chamber’s impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden into the litany of disturbing facts showing a life of corruption and ruin inside his family led by his son Hunter and brother Jim. Naturally, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship Thursday night and Friday morning news shows to insist there’s nothing to see here. ABC’s World News Tonight anchor David Muir framed Republicans Thursday as though the party writ large was unconcerned with the possible government shutdown: “Meanwhile, as millions brace for a shutdown,

Donald Trump Jr. is aggressively calling out establishment Senate Republicans over advocacy for continued aid to Ukraine. Trump Jr. took to X, formerly Twitter, to rip Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-SD), Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), and Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL). It comes as the Senate’s proposed stop-gap bill to fund the government would also ship $6.1 billion to Ukraine. “Stopping the Senate’s plan to send billions more to Ukraine is Don’s number one policy priority right now, and he plans on calling out every pro-Ukraine senator one by one in the most aggressive ways possible,”

The company that Littlejohn was working for was not identified and it was not clear “why a contractor had access to sensitive taxpayer information that is supposed to be protected by numerous legal and procedural safeguards,” The New York Times added.

The United States House of Representatives has approved an additional $300 million aid for Ukraine. The decision came late Thursday night with a 311-117 vote. The aid for Ukraine was initially part of a larger Pentagon funding bill for the fiscal year 2024. House GOP leaders, including Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), had initially planned to hold a separate vote on the Ukraine aid. The decision to separate the aid came after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and a group of conservative Republicans sank a procedural vote to advance the Pentagon funding bill, The Hill reported.

Pro-war channels in the country acknowledged that a warplane was destroyed by a Russian S-300 air defence system, with the pilot believed to have been killed in the process.

Americans filed more than 39,000 personal bankruptcy cases in August 2023, up 18% year-over-year, with bankruptcies beginning to spike after reaching record lows in 2021 and 2022, with the number of filings rising for all chapters for the first time year-over-year since 2010, according to data from the U.S. Courts.

The Department of Energy (DOE) said the energy efficiency regulations would slash household utility costs by $1.5 billion on an annual basis while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the residential sector. The proposal, according to the agency, require non-weatherized gas furnaces and those used in mobile homes to achieve a far higher level of efficiency than cheaper models on the market.

How interesting that a sanctuary city run by Democrats who have been all for illegal immigration is now troubled by the flood of illegal aliens. Leftist ideas sound compassionate coming from those Democrat leaders until it’s at their front door.

"To me, equality is not electing Joni Ernst‚" the Democrat told the Washington Post, referring to the female GOP senator from Iowa. "Like, that’s not helping." It's funny Porter should mention equality in Congress because she is currently trying to prevent a black woman from being elected to the Senate. Her opponent in the Democratic primary, Rep.
