It works like this, Gavvy: Give me something *better* for about the same money and we'll talk. Paying more for less (sometimes *much* less) is a non-starter.

The reality is, you don't even have to be a red-blooded car lover to reject Leftist dogma on EVs. You just have to be practical. EVs CANNOT manage long travel. If you plan a long day trip, in the middle of it you have to add 6 hours for recharging, and that is if a charger is immediately available and is a newer, faster charging model. For most, that would break a day trip into 2 days, with an extra overnight stop and meals on the road. Then you have to get past the extra cost of the EV to begin with, the risk of a toxic fire in an accident, the higher cost of insurance, the need to completely replace the batteries in ten years for $$$$$$, ... It's just not a good financial deal. Plus, the refusal of the Left to admit the disadvantages make you wonder what other problems might be lurking out of sight.

California doesn't have the electrical infrastructure to support all the EV's Gov. Bril Cream is mandating, and as far as I can see, it can't even support the current electrical demand without brownouts and blackouts. And there don't seem to be any plans to increase the electrical infrastructure which can't happen overnight. California is the world's largest insane asylum without walls or fences, and the inmates are in charge. Glad I moved out 18 months ago.

It's a good decision by Barra but she is going to have enough trouble with hundreds of thousands of failing GM V8 engines. Just my opinion: when companies are run by MBAs ( especially DEI MBAs) and not engineers, the company goes to shite. Anyone remember "Carly" Fiorina at HP?

Just when U.S. Steel thought the ink had dried on its new future with Japan’s Nippon Steel, the company ran into a political reality check: President Donald Trump’s administration and its new “golden share” authority. The golden share—essentially a veto power over certain corporate moves—was a condition for White House approval of Nippon Steel’s $14.1 billion acquisition of U.S. Steel in June. The president used this power to halt a planned plant shutdown in Granite City, Ill. Two weeks ago, U.S. Steel notified the Granite City plant and its 800 workers that operations would cease in November. The company planned to pay the employees, despite closing steel production.

As President Donald Trump tries to force Lisa Cook out of her job at the Federal Reserve, her lawyers have pointed to a similar event in history — one where the president lost at the Supreme Court. On October 7, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt fired William E. Humphrey from his post at the Federal Trade Commission. The reason was purely political: The president wanted someone who could advance his priorities.. "I do not feel that your mind and my mind go along together," Roosevelt told Humphrey in a letter. His term at the FTC was supposed to last until 1938. When Humphrey refused to resign, Roosevelt fired him.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Tuesday lost her bid to get back on the Georgia election interference case against President Trump — who celebrated by calling her a “disaster.” The embattled prosecutor was booted from the high-profile case in December by the Georgia Court of Appeals, which cited the “appearance of impropriety” over her affair with the special prosecutor Nathan Wade leading the case. Georgia’s top court said Tuesday that it would not consider reversing a lower court’s ruling. Trump cheered the decision on the White House lawn just before he departed for the UK – arguing Willis should be prosecuted.

The Trump administration is deploying cutting-edge artificial intelligence to conduct an unprecedented review of more than 55 million visa holders in what could become the largest immigration dragnet in U.S. history. But in practical terms, the unprecedented vetting process will likely target a far smaller pool than the number being floated publicly. It's a sort of psychological warfare designed to trigger mass self-deportations, a former State Department employee tells. "They don't need to scrub 55 million. They just need to say they are casting the net as extensively as possible, to encourage those who know they are ineligible, probably overstaying their visas, to self-deport before they are caught"

Lawyers for two boys blamed for sexual harassment by their Virginia school district after complaining about a transgender classmate, who was a biological female, using their locker room are now headed to federal court following a denial of their appeal. Earlier this year, the Loudoun County Public Schools in Northern Virginia launched a Title IX sexual harassment investigation into the two boys after they were videotaped by a biological female who identified as transgender inside the boys' locker room. The video caught them outwardly complaining to each other about the fact that there was a girl using their facilities.

The Vermont Principals' Association must reinstate a Christian school after its girls' basketball team forfeited a game against a team with a male on its roster, an appeals court has ruled, stating that officials acted with "hostility" toward religious beliefs. A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals released a unanimous opinion on Tuesday in the case of Mid Vermont Christian School et al v. Zoie Saunders et al. Circuit Judge Michael Park, a Trump appointee, authored the opinion, which reversed a lower court decision against the Mid Vermont Christian School and remanded the case with instructions for Mid Vermont’s reinstatement in the VPA.

A federal immigration board said Friday that immigrants who arrived in the United States illegally are ineligible for bond hearings while they challenge deportation proceedings in court. The decision, rendered by Judge Keith E. Hunsucker at the Board of Immigration Appeals, affirms a previous July order from Todd M. Lyons, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who told ICE officers in a memo that such immigrants should be detained “for the duration of their removal proceedings,” which can take months or years. Lawyers say the policy will apply to millions of immigrants who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border over the past few decades

The Los Angeles Police Department has pulled its cops from a security detail at Kamala Harris’ Brentwood, California home after outrage that crime-fighting units were being diverted to guard the former vice president. A dozen Metro Division officers had been stationed outside Harris’ mansion after President Trump revoked her Secret Service protection last week, ending an extension granted by Biden. The short-lived detail drew fury inside the department. “Pulling police officers from protecting everyday Angelenos to protect a failed presidential candidate who also happens to be a multi-millionaire … and who can easily afford to pay for her own security, is nuts,” the Los Angeles Police Protective League’s board said.

Even if the announcement were untrue, why would these mothers risk hurting their children simply to rub it in President Trump's face? It is less of taking a stand, and more of just plain stupidity.

Concerned with the exodus of oil and gas companies, refinery closures and the expensive price of gasoline in the state, California Gov.
