Tesla did lead the way with Ev’s. But now I think they just refine their models while China and South Korea are redefining what Ev’s can be. They’re innovating fast and at scale.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia should be freed immediately. Whether or not is is a gang member is irrelevant. He is entitled to “due process”. If not, any citizen can be disappeared in the middle of the night…or at any time of the day. Everyone in the U.S., including those without legal status, have constitutional rights to due process under the Fifth and…[Read more]

….and…..Stun guns deployed as protesters disrupt Marjorie Taylor Greene’s town hall………..

Yeah, we are in Gestapo-type territory already. They are shot-gunning the deportation process.

Also, all the deregulations will have some not-so-good consequences. Let’s see what halting food testing and inspection does to our food exports, not to mention our health. Oh, and I read they are not pursuing cyber-crimes. Digital “assets” are already…[Read more]

U.S.-born man held for ICE under Florida’s new anti-immigration law.

A friend of mine whose grandchildren are in a school in Az. told me that ICE agents came into the classrooms and removed “4 Mexican looking children”. They also scooped up some native American Indian children. If you wanted your children back, a parent or g…[Read more]

Nayib Bukele, El Salvador’s tinpot dictator, is under Trump’s thumb. He’s maintaining a Trump Administration concentration camp for $6 million, not as an expression of El Salvadoran sovereignty.

And if…

You can stop worrying if you might be a redneck (Jeff Foxworthy reference for anyone who’s scratching their head) and start worrying about whether you might be a traitor who hates America and deserves to be sitting in an El Salvadoran prison:

From Private Eye magazine:

China has pledged not to back down in its trade war with President Trump, with president Xi pledging to defend capitalism and the free market.

In a televised address to the nation, Xi rallied his people. “We will not accept the excessive tariffs of the centralized state controlled economy,” he said.

“They wish to…[Read more]

Oh, yeah, @Enco, I do enjoy the old Fleetwood Mac.

@Enco

We need to start planning for a world where many citizens won’t have jobs but somehow aren’t destitute. Not having a traditional job doesn’t necessarily mean sitting on the couch eating bon-bons and watching TV. I, for example, don’t have a job but am active all day long.

The alternative would seem to be walled cities with people with jobs…[Read more]

Sounds fulfilling. LOL

@jakelafort – From the earlier article…. One more for your list…..

Bottom line is we ought to support those who are of right mind and want to get off the merry go round.

Yes, I fully agree. If somebody is compos mentis when they make a legal declaration that clearly shows they wish to end their life if certain conditions are met or at a predetermined date, then so be it.

It often happens that once they have the…[Read more]

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has publicly stated that all of his children are vaccinated. During his Senate confirmation hearings in January 2025 for the role of U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, he declared, “All of my kids are vaccinated, and I believe vaccines have a critical role in healthcare.” ​
