Ford Slashes Electric Truck Production,
Because Nobody Wants Them
Posted By: Imright, 1/19/2024 1:42:41 PM
Full disclosure: I'm a Ford guy. I've driven Ford cars and trucks since the late '70s. These days, most American cars and trucks are pretty good; if you drove cars made from about 1975 to 1985, you can remember what pieces of crap the Big Three were turning out in those days, but I kept my brand loyalty through the dark times, and still do today. American vehicles today are all pretty comparable, quality-wise, and with a Ford, I already know the ergonomics, which knobs and buttons do which things, and so forth. My wife and I have ignored the electric-vehicle (EV) nonsense, in large part because

The rescheduled trial on the day of the New Hampshire primary raises concerns the judge is interfering in the 2024 election.

Tragically, this heartbreaking story won't change a single mind in the Biden administration about the horrific consequences foisted on a growing number of American victims by Joe Biden's open-border policy.On the contrary, as I reported on Saturday, the embattled president bizarrely blamed Republicans for "weaponizing" the Biden Border Crisis, while claiming (lying) that he "sincerely" wants to solve it.
[T]he question is for the [House] Speaker and House Republicans: Are they ready to act as well?
They have to choose whether they want to solve a problem or keep weaponizing issues to score political points against the president.
In the days before Republicans took control of the House last year, Democrats deleted more than 100 encrypted files relating to the investigation of the Jan 6 events which, as we now know, were four parts peaceful protest, one part riot, and two parts FBI-sponsored Capitol Hill tourism.The House Administration Committee's Oversight Subcommittee, chaired by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), was supposed to receive about four terabytes of data from the outgoing Democrats but was given only about half that much. All in all, 117 files were deleted, according to a House digital forensics examination seen by Fox News.
To give you an idea of how much data that is,
The Florida Office of Election Crimes and Security (OECS) was created by Governor Ron DeSantis to receive and investigate election-related complaints. In most cases, the Office subsequently refers the complaints to appropriate county or state law enforcement entities. A few days ago (January 15, 2024), the OECS issued its latest annual report.
Left-wing media will tell you that the agency did not find much fraud. Rather, it spent taxpayer funds to harass and confuse minority voters. But don’t believe it: the findings in the report are serious and disturbing.
In addition to investigations of people who voted when they were not qualified to do so, the Office expanded
A bombshell new report alleges that just days before the GOP took over the House majority in 2022, over 100 encrypted files relating to the January 6th Capitol riot probe were mysteriously deleted.
In a new interview with Fox News, the chairman of the House Administration Committee's Oversight Subcommittee, Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia, described the revelation as bringing the investigation into a 'new phase.'
Loudermilk alleges that a forensics team found that 117 files had been either deleted or encrypted on January 1, 2023, shortly before the Republicans took over the investigation that had previously been led by Rep. Bennie Thompson and Rep. Liz Cheney.
Former President Donald Trump is cruising to victory in New Hampshire's Republican primary, according to an exclusive poll for the Daily Mail, with a double digit lead over his main challenger Nikki Haley.
After a blowout win in Iowa last week, a big victory in Tuesday's primary could turn the rest of the nomination race into a coronation.
Our eve of primary poll, shows that 51 percent of voters support Trump, with former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on 41 percent. Those numbers could even represent an overestimate of Haley's score on Tuesday. Her supporters are only half as enthusiastic as those planning to vote Trump.
The multitude of migrants flooding New York City have apparently not been cleaning up after themselves in the East Village area.
For the past few months, adult migrants have stood in line outside former St. Brigid’s School on East 7th Street, the New York Post reported Saturday, noting the overflow of people has spilled into Tompkins Square Park as they wait to be given shelter and a bed.
However, workers with the city’s Parks Department have been forced to remove three Port-a-Potties from the nearby park because they were left so dirty it became impossible to keep them clean.
Squabbling over semantics, the former president accused a “RINO” Fox News host of falling into the “proverbial ‘Trump’ trap” after getting fact-checked.
Simply setting the record straight wasn’t enough for former President Donald Trump who once again lashed out at Fox News. Despite airtime that included a town hall running counter to the latest GOP primary debate he opted out of attending, he took aim at “Fox & Friends” co-host Steve Doocy after a claim on the New Hampshire primary seemed to prove misleading.
“Unwatchable RINO Steve Doocy of Fox & Friends, which is suffering mightily from a lack of interest and Ratings Decline,

New York— Former President Donald Trump has told the public for years what he thinks of E. Jean Carroll, the writer who claims he sexually assaulted her in the 1990s. Now he has a chance to talk to a jury about her — but within limits he might well test.
Trump could testify as soon as Monday in the defamation trial over his 2019 comments branding Carroll a liar who faked a sexual attack to sell a memoir. He plans to be in court as the New York trial resumes after a weekend break.
Because a different jury found last year that Trump sexually abused Carroll, U.S. District Judge Judge
With Ron DeSantis' shock announcement he is dropping out of the White House race, the question now is who his supporters will back.

President Joe Biden again mocked gun owners over the weekend, suggesting they will need F-16 fighter jets if they are really serious about taking on the government.
Townhall reported Biden speaking to reporters, referencing Thomas Jefferson’s famous quote, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
Biden said, “And I love people who say, the ‘blood of liberty,’ or excuse me, ‘the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots.’ Well, guess what, man, I didn’t see a whole lot of patriots that are out there walking around making sure that we have these weapons…And if you really want
In June 2023, the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Georgia unsealed the 96-page Halderman Report – the Security Analysis of Georgia’s ImageCast X Ballot Marking Devices.

Daniel “Danica” Roem, the first “transgender” state representative in U.S. history, won election to a new office last November and shared in a recent interview his intention to be sworn into the Virginia Senate with his hand on a heavy metal album rather than the Bible, as is tradition.
Roem, a male Democrat who identifies as a woman, defeated incumbent Republican Bob Marshall for his seat in the Virginia House of Delegates in 2017, an upset celebrated by LGBT activists. Last fall, Roem won his race to move on to the state Senate. (snip) “I will be getting sworn in on a 1988 vinyl copy” of his favorite Metallica album,
Does Joe Biden's climate czar, John Kerry, ever listen to himself?
He made this dunderheaded speech at the World Economic Forum, unwittingly contradicting himself as he sought applause from the elites. (X) So "farms" need to be restricted according to the green agenda, which as any Dutch farmer can tell you, means shut down -- or else people will die, presumably of starvation since he said "people will go hungry."
Fewer farms, all to prevent people from going hungry.

Our Weird Passivity Toward Iran’s Aggression

Watching our response to Iranian aggression against us and our allies, I’m reminded of Sherlock Holmes mystery, “The Curious Case of the Dog That Didn’t Bark.” Turns out the watchdog didn’t bark because it knew the thief, and my supposition is that there is a good reason why we have behaved as if Iran and its proxies merit no more meaningful response: This Administration -- as did Obama’s -- has been thoroughly compromised respecting the ayatollahs. Hussain-Abdul-Hussain, who analyzes such things for the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy, summarized the recent provocations of Iran.
