BYD: Here Comes the EV Bloodbath Trump
Warned Us About

Original Article

Donald Trump was right. It's going to be a bloodbath when China's BYD starts selling its "fun-to-drive" Seagull EV in this country at a price not even Tesla can match. The five-door hatchback doesn't have the best range or fanciest amenities. But what it does have is a top price under $14,000, good safety features, aggressive looks, and plenty of financial backing from Beijing. BYD's specialties are batteries and high-tech manufacturing, and they're using both to aggressively expand overseas production and deliveries. An improved version for South American markets, called the Dolphin Mini, is already on sale, starting at $21,990.

And the ability to get them serviced easily and having an available service department or mechanics close by? To me this is as important as the car itself. But it is an ugly tiny car.

No wonder the regime media want to obsess on the word "bloodbath" and not what the word describes for the auto industry. Not to mention that in case of a war it would be nice to have an auto industry, like it would be nice to have the steel, pharmaceutical and other industries we've forfeited to China. . .

The Buick Envision is already made in China and the Buick Encore is made in S Korea. Think AutoZone will have many parts for this Chinese entry?

One can still get a high quality motorcycle for under $14K. It will have better range than any EV and can be refueled in 5 minutes.

The American auto industry has NEVER recovered from the 1970s attack of foreign-made cars. Fifty years later, Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan and others rule the world where superior quality, performance and engineering are concerned. The last American car I ever bought was in the 70s, a total lemon, and a series of rental cars used during the years since then have proven me right, cars made in Detroit, Mexico and Canada continue to lag behind in every category.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ plan to tour the building where the 2018 Parkland, Florida mass shooting occurred isn’t sitting well with some victims’ parents. Take Ryan Petty, whose 14-year-old daughter Alaina Petty died during the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Speaking with Fox News this week, he outright accused Harris of trying to use the school for a “photo op” to “push” a gun control agenda. “What’s frustrating to me is that this building should have been demolished years ago, and it’s now being used as a photo op for politicians that want to push an agenda,” he said.

West Virginia conservative Derrick Evans said on Breitbart News Saturday that Rep. Carol Miller (R-WV) is not a “RINO,” she’s an “undocumented Democrat.” Evans, who hopes to oust Miller in West Virginia’s First Congressional District, spoke to Breitbart News Saturday host Matthew Boyle after Miller, along with 100 other House Republicans, voted for the $1.2 trillion “minibus” spending bill only hours after it was released. Even though a majority of House Republicans opposed the minibus spending bill, Miller, who represents a ruby-red district in the Mountain State, voted for the bill. Evans, a former West Virginia state delegate, said that Miller should not be even considered a Republican in Name Only (RINO).

While he signed the bill, the governor did not seem enthusiastic about doing so. “I signed SF99 because I support the protections this bill includes for children, however it is my belief that the government is straying into the personal affairs of families,” Governor Gordon said in a statement about the legislation.

The mob followed people who left the event to their cars. Thankfully, police intervened and prevented a riot — or worse. Rittenhouse brought his service dogs to the event.

Over the years, investigations and reports have revealed a disturbing culture of corruption, favoritism, and cover-ups among the leaders of the U.S. Capitol Police (USCP). With incidents dating back to the late 1990s, high-ranking officials, including assistant chiefs and deputies, have been implicated in various forms of misconduct including fraud, forgery, obstruction of justice, and others. A new Blaze Media investigation highlights some of the shadier aspects of the USCP, detailing a culture in which misconduct not only goes unpunished, but is often rewarded. “Corruption is endemic at the highest levels of the United States Capitol Police,” the report reads. High-ranking USCP officials, including a present-day deputy chief and an assistant chief,

Former President Barack Obama privately met with President Biden on at least two occasions and expressed concern that he could lose the 2024 election, according to a report. A new report from TIME Magazine claimed that Obama met with Biden last June to deliver a warning about his re-election chances.

During a private lunch, Obama told Biden his campaign was unstable, persuading unhappy voters would be a challenge and defeating Trump would be more difficult than 2020, according to a Democrat briefed on the discussion.

The UN Security Council has rejected a US-sponsored resolution calling for an "immediate and sustained ceasefire" in Gaza. It comes after permanent members Russia and China chose to veto a motion tabled on Friday. Israel has been coming under increasing pressure to allow more humanitarian aid to reach over two million Palestinians - and better protect civilians. The draft had undergone "many rounds of consultations" with members of the 15-seat council, and marked a toughening of America's stance towards Israel. Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US ambassador to the UN, said the resolution's failure was "really outrageous and below the dignity of the UN Security Council".
