Buttigieg: Americans Won’t Be Driving
‘Old’ Gas-Powered Cars in 2050
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 12/26/2023 6:44:52 PM
On last Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said that he doubts “that Americans in 2050 are still going to be driving that old technology, that combustion technology that we inherited from the 20th century.” Buttigieg said, “[T]he share of EVs has been dramatically increasing every single year, and that’s continuing. Now, our goal is, by the end of this decade, to be about half-and-half. We think that that can and will happen. But what isn’t guaranteed is, first of all, is that EV revolution going to continue to be made in America?

Florida bill addresses loophole allowing
squatters to terrorize homeowners, trash properties 7 replies
squatters to terrorize homeowners, trash properties 7 replies
Florida lawmakers are finally addressing a loophole that allowed squatters to trash property owner Patti Peeples’ residence, terrorizing her and costing her almost $40,000 in damages.
The legislation, House Bill 621 which was sponsored by Republican Florida state Rep. Kevin Steele, is a long time in coming for the Jacksonville resident but will hopefully stop squatters from moving into a home, proving to be next to impossible to evict. Many other property owners in the Sunshine State have been victims of unscrupulous individuals who don’t seem to fear the law at all.
Two women broke into Peeples’ vacant rental property and set up house.
Former FBI agent Peter Strzok said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that he believed supporters of former President Donald Trump were “engaging in threats of violence,” while supporters of President Joe Biden were not prone to violence.
Strzok said, “My biggest concern is that we have the presumptive Republican nominee for president who has and continues to engage in calls for violence from his supporters. Look, there’s an interesting data point here. Just shortly after the Michigan Supreme Court indicated they weren’t going to take this up, Donald Trump took to Truth Social and lauded their decision, talked about how they were absolutely right. It would be very interesting —
Officer Byron Evans and seven black Capitol Police Officers sued Brandon Straka and several Trump supporters under the KKK Act for “racist” attacks on him and seven other police officers on January 6, 2021.
Officer Evans sued Brandon Straka and Roger Stone who was not even at the US Capitol that day along with leaders of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys and others.
Brandon Straka released video on Wednesday of Officer Byron Evans admitting he was watching the January 6 protests on a TV in a room in a secure location.
Ahead of a new California law set to take effect in April, which raises wages to $20 per hour, 1,200 Pizza Hut delivery drivers are being laid off.
“PacPizza, LLC, operating as Pizza Hut, has made a business decision to eliminate first-party delivery services and, as a result, the elimination of all delivery driver positions,” read a federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice, Business Insider reports.
The Act requires employers give a 60 day notice before mass layoffs, according to KTLA.
Another WARN Act notice indicates a second Pizza Hut franchisee, Southern California Pizza Co., has made the same decision, which will affect 841 drivers.
Since the pandemic is over, the horror stories from the COVID vaccine have dissipated. We also have Joe Biden serving as a serially incompetent president, his son’s rampant influence-peddling schemes, a lagging economy, inflation, and wars breaking out. We also had one of the worst wildfires in American history tear through Hawaii. The Biden presidency has been nothing but a factory of bad news, not least the possibility that he could win a second term. We’re still seeing the damage done by the vaccine mandates, like this New York City firefighter who was forced to retire after reportedly suffering severe side effects from the vaccine.
Special Counsel Jack Smith has been making plenty of requests in his case against former and potentially future President Donald Trump when it comes to his actions on and leading up to January 6, 2021. This time, Smith is asking the district court to restrict what Trump's legal team can tell a jury in the March 4 trial.
Fox News highlighted key parts of the motion, with the 20-page motion also being included in the report:
That includes a request to prevent Trump from telling the jury he is being prosecuted by the DOJ in coordination with President Biden,
As the world celebrated Christmas — giving and receiving gifts, overeating, and contemplating the birth of Jesus — we missed an important historical anniversary. It's easy to see why we would miss the historical events that took place on Christmas Day since it's a holy day for Christians and a special day even for many who don't believe in Jesus, but one important event that's worth revisiting took place 32 years ago.
On Dec. 25, 1991, the Soviet Union ceased to exist. That evening, Mikhail Gorbachev resigned as president of the USSR, made a phone call to tell U.S. President George H.W. Bush goodbye, and delivered a speech to his nation.
Creating a Left-Wing Jesus
3 replies
At Christmastime, Christians all over the globe reflect on who Jesus is to them, while we also see some examination of who Jesus was historically. Leftists love to take that historical examination of Jesus and overlay a leftwing narrative onto His life.

"Jesus was a refugee," the left says when it wants to tie Jesus to illegal immigration. "Jesus didn't specifically mention homosexuality" is the cry when it comes to pushing the LGBTQ (and sometimes Y) agenda. Leftists love to label Jesus a social justice warrior, a revolutionary, and a mystic, none of which is true.
Since Israel has dominated the news cycle after the Hamas attack on October 7,
Because it spotlights the current state of affairs in the West — and all the key players — the recent uprising in Dublin should not be so quickly forgotten.
Background: On Nov. 23, 2023, a Muslim man of Algerian origin, with a known criminal record, knifed a group of preschool children attending Saint Mary’s, a Catholic school in Dublin. Three children — two girls and a boy aged between 5 and 6 — and a care assistant who tried to defend them were stabbed in the assault. Knifed near the heart, a 5-year-old girl was critically injured and, as of the last report from December,
A man who appears to be a Delta Airlines employee went viral this week on social media after he stood up to an alleged transgender activist who was upset that the man did not use his preferred pronouns.
It appears that the video was taken late last week potentially at New York-LaGuardia International Airport (LGA) given that “LGA” appears on the employee’s jacket.
The purported transgender individual in the video, who appears to be the person holding the camera, complains that he was “misgendered” because the airline employee called him a “he.”
“It wasn’t intentional, but if you want to take it personal, that’s also okay,” the employee responded.
‘So angry’: Chris Matthews says dealing
with rural Americans is like ‘fighting terrorism’ 39 replies
with rural Americans is like ‘fighting terrorism’ 39 replies
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews said that dealing with angry rural Americans is similar to combating terrorism on “Morning Joe” Tuesday.
Matthews highlighted the importance of anger in mobilizing voters during elections as he drew the analogy. He said rural Americans harbor a deep-seated anger toward liberal elites and then seemed to liken it to the sentiments of terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq following the U.S. military presence there.
“This is rural rage. They are so angry at the liberal establishment, the coastal elite, they look at people on television … ‘They don’t have to worry about us,’” Matthews stated.
Israel has seized 30,000 explosives in the Gaza Strip since Hamas launched a war on October 7, a spokesman for the Israeli government confirmed on Tuesday.
Eylon Levy told reporters during a briefing that while there was no deadline for eliminating Hamas’s rocket-launching capacity, Israel sought to achieve that goal.
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari had mentioned the figure of 30,000 on Saturday, and Levy confirmed that the figure included rockets found ready for firing at Israeli cities.
Separately, the IDF reported Tuesday that it had found a cache of weapons in a children’s bedroom in a civilian home in Gaza:

Harvard's embattled president is facing yet further questions about her academic record, after a statistics expert challenged the data used in a report which helped win her tenure at Stanford.
Claudine Gay, who took over as president in July, has been at the center of a firestorm since the October 7 Hamas attacks. She was seemingly slow to condemn students who justified the terrorist violence, and slow to speak out against antisemitism on campus.
The harsh spotlight has spread to her academic record, with accusations of plagiarism - and on Tuesday, a data scientist challenged her analytical methods. It was then revealed that she had refused to share her data,
Former San Francisco 49er and original anthem-protester Colin Kaepernick said on a recent podcast that he and his girlfriend do not celebrate Christmas.
Katrina B, who co-hosts the Nessa Off Air podcast with Kaepernick’s longtime girlfriend Nessa Diad, asked the former QB what he planned to get Diab for Christmas.
Kaepernick said, “We don’t celebrate Christmas.”
Diab sought to explain the situation further, “No, I’ll tell you what. We don’t give each other gifts.
An appeals court wiped out a conviction of a former Congressman after defense lawyers argued the FBI “set up” the lawmaker.
Nebraska GOP Congressman Jeff Fortenberry last year resigned from Congress after being convicted of lying to the FBI.
“Due to the difficulties of my current circumstances, I can no longer serve you effectively,” Fortenberry said in a statement.
Kevin McCarthy joined then-Speaker Pelosi and called for Fortenberry to step down last year.“I think when someone’s convicted, it’s time to resign,” McCarthy told reporters last year, according to Politico.
“Congressman Fortenberry’s conviction represents a breach of the public trust and confidence in his ability to serve. No one is above the law,” Pelosi,
A Muslim mob of pro-Palestinian militants terrorized shoppers on Christmas Eve in the small city of Collierville, Tennessee.
“You should be ashamed!” the Muslim militants shouted at shoppers as others repeatedly honked their car horns.
One KWAM listener said the Muslim militants “clogged the streets to prevent shopper ingress/egress and unleashed individual terrorists out to run up and down the sidewalks with Palestinian flags.”
As a Collierville citizen, I strongly believe and support the First and Second Amendment rights of every American citizen,” conservative leader Justin Johnson told KWAM. “Protests should not be intrusive and dangerous to drivers, shoppers or the protestors.”
A pandering “bottom up…middle out” pay bump for federal employees celebrated by President Joe Biden was panned as a “slap in the face to ordinary Americans” heading into an election year.
With the swipe of a pen Thursday, the president delivered an early Christmas present to federal workers even larger than the year before in the form of a 5.2% taxpayer-funded raise. While sycophants celebrated the highest increase of its kind since 1980, as in around the last time inflation was soaring, realists doused cold water on the move.
US Navy destroyer and several F/A-18 Super Hornet fighters shot down a total of 17 Houthi drones and missiles during a tense 10-hour engagement over the southern Red Sea. Details of the engagement are sparse, but the Arleigh Burke-class Aegis destroyer USS Laboon (DDG-58), a member of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier strike group (CSG), as well as several F/A-18 launched from the Eisenhower shot down 12 attack drones, three-antiship missiles and two land attack missiles. The engagement began at 6:30 a.m. local time Tuesday and continued for ten hours. None of the attacking weapons hit a target.

Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama are being slammed on social media for producing a Netflix cartoon for preschoolers that featured young children attending a gay wedding.
The popular X/Twitter account Libs of TikTok posted a video pointing out that an episode of Netflix’s Ada Twist, Scientist “showcases young students coming together to set up and celebrate their teacher’s gay wedding.”
“This is aimed at preschoolers,” Libs of TikTok said. “Barack and Michelle Obama are the executive producers.”
Joe and Dr. Jill on Monday celebrated the joy of Kwanzaa.
Kwanzaa is a phony holiday created in 1966 by black radical Ron Everett — aka Dr. Maulana Karenga, a violent felon who tortured two naked black women.
“Deborah Jones, who once was given the Swahili title of an African queen, said she and Gail Davis were whipped with an electrical cord and beaten with a karate baton after being ordered to remove their clothes,” a 1971 Los Angeles Times article reported about Karenga’s conviction.
“To everyone celebrating, Jill and I wish you a joyous Kwanzaa,” Joe Biden said on Tuesday. “In 2024, it’s our hope that we will all remember the wisdom
Until quite recently, the studio looked unstoppable on its way to dominating Hollywood. But in 2023, its box office plummeted, and its magic faded. What has gone wrong?
The year 2023 should have been a magical one for The Walt Disney Company.
The studio was founded by Walt and Roy Disney in 1923, so a host of films, books and events had been planned to celebrate its centenary. Recent cartoons such as Frozen and Moana had proven that its animation department was thriving, and various mergers had given the Company control of the Pixar, Star Wars and Marvel franchises, too. "It was an incredible collection of brands
“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”

Tom Smothers, one half of the legendary comedy duo the Smothers Brothers, has died at 86.
The late comedian died peacefully at his home on Tuesday with his family at his side following a recent battle with cancer, according to his brother and co-star Dick Smothers.
“Tom was not only the loving older brother that everyone would want in their life, he was a one-of-a-kind creative partner,” Dick said in a statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday. “I am forever grateful to have spent a lifetime together with him, on and off stage, for over 60 years. Our relationship was like a good marriage – the longer we were together,
