Trump Administration Rolling Back Biden-Era
Fuel Economy Standards that Drove Up Car Prices
Posted By: Dreadnought, 12/4/2025 1:00:50 AM
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that his administration is resetting Biden-era Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards that increased car prices. Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the reset in the Oval Office while flanked by Republican lawmakers and auto industry leaders. “We’re officially terminating Joe Biden’s ridiculously burdensome, horrible, actually, CAFE standards that impose expensive restrictions and all sorts of problems to auto makers,” Trump said. The president noted that the CAFE standards imposed by the previous administration impacted both domestic and foreign manufacturers making cars for the American market and, in turn, consumers.

Left-led UK government follows up attacking Magna Carta and frequent social media arrests by announcing it is yet again postponing elections and moving to introduce a nationwide facial camera recognition system.
Brexit leader Nigel Farage eviscerated the left-wing British government for piling depredations upon depredations on the British people, as they announced yet another postponement of local elections without good reason, on the same day they moved to roll out China-style facial recognition cameras. Speaking at a Reform Party press conference, Mr Farage said of these “monstrous” changes:
…today’s the day we learn that there will be surveillance cameras not just in our big cities, but literally in every single village.
The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear the case over President Donald Trump's executive order directing federal agencies to interpret the 14th Amendment as excluding birthright citizenship to the children of illegal aliens and tourists, CBS News reported.
Trump imposed the order as a means of combating the practice of birth tourism and the creation of "anchor babies", intended to present an obstacle to deportations.
Thus far, the Department of Justice has struggled to defend the order in the lower courts and it remains unclear whether the conservative friendly justices will be more receptive to their arguments.
A former aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), who has been accused of being a covert Chinese agent, boasted in text messages that her boss was "much more obedient" than her predecessor, Andrew Cuomo.
The comments, part of the evidence presented at Linda Sun's corruption trial, were made during a discussion aimed at convincing Cuomo, the governor at the time, to film a speech commemorating the Lunar New Year.
Sun indicated to a Chinese official that she could get the then-Lt. Gov. to do it instead.

The arrest of Brian Cole Jr. on Thursday in connection with the J6 pipe bombing incident is a huge story. But make no mistake, this story is about to be memory-holed by the mainstream media… and fast.
Federal authorities arrested 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. of Virginia for allegedly planting pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters on the night of January 5, 2021. For four years, Biden’s FBI failed to break the case while the pipe bombs were used as political ammunition against Trump supporters.
As PJ Media previously reported, Cole’s arrest did not result from new tips or a brave new witness suddenly emerging from the shadows; it was because
Hell has frozen over, and take cover; pigs are flying. The New York Times has told the truth, and in so doing, defended Donald Trump and SecWar Pete Hegesth. The stakes are high:
Polls show trust in the media at an all-time low with less than 20 percent of citizens trusting television or print media. Yet, reporters and academics continue to destroy the core principles that sustain journalism and ultimately the role of a free press in our society. Notably, writers who have been repeatedly charged with false or misleading columns are some of the greatest advocates for dropping objectivity in journalism.

There's good news for Republicans on the congressional redistricting front Thursday evening, as the Supreme Court has now granted Texas' application to stay a divided three-judge district court panel ruling that enjoined the use of the newly drawn map.
Following the panel decision in mid-November, Texas appealed directly to the Supreme Court (as is permitted in redistricting cases), and the court swiftly issued an administrative (temporary) stay of the lower court decision. On Thursday, in a 6-3 ruling, the court formally stayed the panel decision pending its appeal on the merits. The practical effect of this

Hoo boy. Sometimes, you might do something so embarrassing, so humiliating, that you want to hide in the closet. The prestigious science journal Nature may be thinking about doing that right about now, because on Wednesday, they officially retracted an influential 2024 climate report that predicted gloom and doom, death and misery, and impending economic catastrophe.
As is the case with so much of the leftist climate narrative, their wild claims were quite simply unproven:
In April 2024, the prestigious journal Nature released a study finding that climate change would cause far more economic damage by the end of the century than previous estimates had suggested.

Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said President Donald Trump’s comments about Somalians were creating a dangerous situation because his followers have “exhibited violence.”
Today at the White House, Trump said, “These Somalians have taken billions of dollars out of our country. They’ve taken billions and billions of dollars. They have a representative, Ilhan Omar, who they say married her brother. She should be thrown the hell out of our country. And most of those people, they have destroyed Minnesota.”
Host Jake Tapper said, “What is the practical impact when a President of the United States demonizes an entire group of people based on ethnicity?
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang praised President Donald Trump on Wednesday, telling podcaster Joe Rogan that “everything” the president “thinks through is very practical, common sense, and logical.” Jensen also credited Trump’s energy policy with saving AI, telling Rogan, “Without energy growth, we can have no industrial growth. And that was what saved the AI industry.”
“President Trump is very different. He surprised me,” Huang told Rogan during Wednesday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. “First of all, he’s an incredibly good listener. Almost everything I’ve ever said to him, he’s remembered.” “Yeah, people only want to look at negative stories about him, or negative narratives about him,” Rogan said, to which

House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R., Ky.) is compelling former special counsel Jack Smith to testify behind closed doors about his criminal prosecutions of President Trump.
Jordan subpoenaed Smith Wednesday to have him testify at a deposition on December 17 and provide documents to the committee ahead of the interview.
“Due to your service as Special Counsel, the Committee believes that you possess information that is vital to its oversight of this matter,” Jordan said in a letter accompanying the subpoena.
The subpoena to have Smith testify privately comes after Smith requested a public hearing to dispel what he considers Republican misconceptions about his cases against Trump.
Vladimir Putin is blaming his European counterparts for sabotaging peace talks to end the war in Ukraine that he started almost four years ago — and even raised the possibility of expanding the conflict to take on the European powers.
Ahead of a meeting with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, Putin lambasted Europe for “putting forward demands that are absolutely unacceptable for Russia.”
“They themselves refused peace negotiations and are interfering with President Trump,” Putin added. Putin also suggested that Russia would be prepared to fight Europe in a broader war if the conflict in Ukraine escalates.

TOKYO, Dec 5 - American actor and playwright Jeremy O. Harris, known for the Tony-nominated "Slave Play", was arrested last month at an airport in Japan on suspicion of attempting to smuggle illegal drugs into the country, local authorities said late on Thursday.
Harris, 36, was stopped on November 16 at Naha Airport on Okinawa island after a customs officer discovered 0.78 grams of crystal containing the synthetic narcotic MDMA in his tote bag, an Okinawa Regional Customs spokesperson said.

Afghanistan’s Taliban made a 13-year-old carry out a public execution in front of thousands of onlookers, shooting a man who had killed more than a dozen members of the boy’s family.
An estimated 80,000 people gathered at a sports stadium in the southeastern province of Khost to witness the horrific spectacle, condemned by the UN as “inhuman and cruel”.
The convicted murderer, called Mangal, and two others had been found guilty of killing 13 members of the teenager’s family, including several children and women.

The inspector general responsible for scrutinizing U.S. reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan has detailed the billions of dollars wasted by the U.S. government during the 20-year war in the country and concluded that the arsenal of U.S.-provided weaponry that was left behind now forms the "core" of the Taliban's own military machine. . . . The report said the Pentagon has concluded that the U.S. left behind weaponry worth at least $7.1 billion -- weapons now in the hands of the Taliban -- and that the U.S. government also continued to send $3.47 billion in humanitarian and development assistance to Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani vowed Thursday to stop clearing homeless encampments throughout the Big Apple — ending a signature initiative pushed by the Adams administration since taking office.
The Democratic Socialist flatly told reporters at an unrelated press conference in Manhattan that he would stop all sweeps of makeshift settlements come the new year when he is sworn in as mayor.
“If you are not connecting homeless New Yorkers to the housing that they so desperately need, then you cannot deem anything you’re doing to be a success,” Mamdani said of the Adams policy, which has faced criticism for not getting those homeless people into permanent homes after the sweeps.

Democrats and the media have been trying to whip up a story about the Trump administration taking out drug boats. They thought they had something with a story from the Washington Post that claimed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered a second strike on a drug boat when there were survivors in the water.

Jim Himes, D-Conn., top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, told reporters after a briefing with the admiral.
