House Votes to Kneecap Biden's EV Mandate,
Biden Threatens Veto

The U.S. House of Representatives voted 221-197 Wednesday evening to pass the Choice in Automobile Retail Sales (CARS) Act, which would strike down federal regulations that target gas-powered vehicles. Two hundred and sixteen and five Democrats voted in favor. The measure will next go to the Senate, where it’s enjoyed bipartisan support. President Biden issued a statement Monday, however, vowing to veto the bill if and when it hits his desk. The president and his administration have been aggressive in pushing electric vehicles, and this bill is designed to stymie efforts to have the government decide what kind of car you can drive.

I hadn't heard this Bill was in the works, much less up for a vote. Trading that some Dems voted for it is heartening. If similar support drom the D's in the Senate gets ot to Joey's desk, that would be fantastic. Of course he'll be instructed to sit and sign his name to veto it, but so be it. The EV dictate must be crushed.

Ford and Chevy are both reported to have dropped their line of EV cars because they don't sell Biden has driven them both into deep financial ruble with his BS. People are staring to wake up from the dream of magical energy from the sky. How many billions of dollars have been wasted and continue to be wasted on this pipe dream?

Congress has NO "right" to direct technology or certainly not to "dictate" it. Find in the Constitution where this power is given to the Federal government or even to the States. Nowhere is it found. The Feds need to secure the border, get their financial house in order, and punish bad guys around the world, while kicking the U.N. out of the U.S.A.

While this is nice and all that, until the hideous gas mileage requirements of the EPA destroyers are removed entirely, we will not have the claimed "the option to buy whatever car suits them the best". EPA fuel and emissions regulations are, by themselves, massively increasing the cost of cars, while limiting the options of what you can purchase. Defund the EPA, end all gas mileage government mandates. Let us buy what we WANT.

This, while the world waits for a credible scientific justification to reduce man-made CO2 output, the 'driver' behind the push for EVs.

Re #7, yes, while all the actual science tells us how critical CO2 is because plants must have it to grow, which underpins all life on this planet. And more CO2, rather than being a "pollutant" as these scammers claim, causes increased green plant growth, planet wide, a BENEFIT. And those greater numbers of green plants, scrub out more CO2 and create oxygen for the rest of us to breathe. Too bad these scammers don't actually look at the science of atmospheric CO2 and green plants, instead of polishing their lame theories about some mysterious 'feedback loop' which will overheat the planet with a miniscule change in CO2.

US House Committee hearings are dull unless there’s a topic, like the weaponization of the FBI, where fireworks will start popping off from Matt Gaetz and others. The House Committee on Education hearing was somewhat low-key but riddled with appalling moments, like when three college heads from MIT, Harvard and UPenn endorsed Jewish genocide. They were asked point blank by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) if such harassment violated their respective campuses' codes of conduct, among other things. All three gave academic answers, essentially saying that context is everything. In other words, they don’t condemn those calling for the mass slaughter of Jews, opting to protect the pro-terrorist cohorts,

A nonprofit bankrolled by liberal billionaire George Soros provided over $1.2 million to the left-wing group that previously bailed out the individual charged with killing several people in Texas, including his parents. Shane James, 34, is accused of killing six people and injuring others in Bexar County and Austin. James served as a U.S. Army Infantry officer from February 2013 to August 2015 and has been charged with several counts of capital murder. In January 2022, James was charged with aggravated assault against his mother, father, and sister, Fox San Antonio reported.

Giving the pol who told women being raped to 'lie back and enjoy it,' a run for his money, we now have this unwanted advice, from the chief of a women's advocacy group: (Snip) Graves was giving testimony in Congress about transgender athletes dominating women's sports, owing to their athletically superior biological male bodily structures. She claimed that transgender athletes, who are basically taking virtually all the medals in women's sports now, are no different from actual women in competitive sports. Winning, she claimed with a smiley face, was all about "having really good resources and facilities," "coaching" and "how hard you work."

Far-left squad leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) made the false claim that “all” girls will have their genitals examined if laws are passed banning men from women’s sports. The noted socialist made her bizarre claim during a hearing with the House Oversight Subcommittee on Health this Tuesday, which featured activist swimmer Riley Gaines. According to AOC, laws banning men from women’s sports include policies that would force girls to have their genitals checked if someone disbelieves their expressed gender. “We are talking about opening up all women and girls to genital examinations
Flush the Tunnels with the Sea: Israel

Jazz pointed out yesterday that Israel seemed to be preparing to flood the so-called Gaza Metro, the tunnels that Hamas uses to hide themselves and the hostages from Israel. Today, it seems they are moving forward with the plan. (X) Here’s a view of the supply pipes out to the sea. And this is apparently the first clip of the tunnels being flooded. The first time I saw this suggested was about a month ago (I wrote about Israel’s options, including this one, here). Here’s the argument the author made: The Gaza tunnel system, mostly constructed over the last forty years, provides Hamas with offensive access to Israel.

Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) Although things have been shifting in China's direction for years, the United States of America is still the superpower on the geopolitical block. In a better world, we would delay the ChiCom ascendancy for as long as possible, but that's difficult to do with a weak, addled president whose brain is being run by a bunch of "America last" progressives. This is a most dangerous and inopportune time for the United States to have a weak chief executive. The worst people in the world tend to act up a lot when there is a lack of spine in the White House.

Sometimes, I could watch Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) all day. Kennedy was his classic self on Tuesday while questioning FBI Director Christopher Wray about Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop and why the FBI didn’t come out before the 2020 election and admit that the laptop was, in fact, real. Wray fidgeted and squirmed his way through his answer. "Why didn't the FBI just say, 'Hey, the laptop's real?'" Kennedy asked. "Why didn't you tell everybody, 'The laptop's real; we're not vouching for what's on it, but it's real. This isn't a fiction'?"

Derek Chauvin, the convicted murderer of George Floyd who was recently stabbed 22 times by an FBI informant, is recovering, and has just been released from the hospital. He has, however, been sent back to the same Arizona prison unit where he was stabbed, with no additional protection. According to a Monday report from Rochester, Minnesota’s KTSP, Chauvin’s attorney Gregory Erickson said: “I had a telephone conference with Derek’s family yesterday, and they confirmed that his medical condition has improved to the extent that he has been removed from the trauma care facility at a local Tucson hospital

America in the twenty-first century has been on an accelerating descent not unlike what befell ancient Rome. For some four centuries Rome’s Senate and constitution provided continuity which sustained the Roman Republic through various challenges. But in the end, what befell Rome from barbarian invasion, political corruption, and mobs that were manipulated and used by its Caesars, was a rampage against reason and freedom, leading to the Republic’s demise and transition to a centralized imperial authority under emperors. America's style and state of political decline and cultural degeneration differ in many ways from that of ancient Rome, but the big picture has striking similarities.

Yep, "Bidenomics." Hustler Joe Biden has continued to tout the ridiculous term like a slick snake oil salesman long after the vast majority of the country has rejected it outright. Still, Lyin' Biden has continued to push. "C'mon! Don't believe your lying eyes, America! Bidenomics is the best thing since sliced bread!" Except it isn't. It never was. Now, someone else isn't buying it. And that "someone" is the House Democrat Caucus. House Democrats have finally rejected the White House's months-long smoke-and-mirrors campaign to sell the silly term. And why wouldn't they? Better question: Why'd they wait so long?

Former President Donald Trump is urging supporters to “guard the vote” during next year’s election, a phrase that has set off alarm bells among pro-democracy advocates who say it signals permission to take extreme measures that could intimidate voters and threaten election workers. The phrase is a relatively novel one for Trump, though activists in the far-right movement have been setting the groundwork for it to be deployed more widely. Former national security adviser Michael Flynn has spent months repeating the phrase in posts, speeches and interviews.

Something has changed inside the Department of Justice, though it’s unclear exactly what might be going on under the covers. After years of stalling and obfuscation, doing everything possible to keep First Son Hunter Biden out of any legal trouble, the DOJ filed nine new charges against Hunter last night. None of them are trivial and three are quite serious. He was hit with three felony tax evasion charges and six related misdemeanors. The unpaid taxes add up to $1.4 million and they carry the potential of up to 17 years in prison. This is going to put Joe Biden in a very awkward position in short order and

Hunter Biden spent a staggering $870,000 on prostitutes, sex club memberships and porn and took out $1.6million from cash machines in the wild spending spree laid out in the bombshell tax evasion indictment filed on Wednesday night. Federal prosecutors claim the president's scandal-hit son spent almost $5million on a lavish lifestyle between 2016 and 2019 while failing to pay $1.4million taxes in a case that leaves him facing a maximum 17 years in prison. The indictment set to be a disaster for his father's 2024 run for president alleges that he 'spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items
