NOTE: This is an article about EV fires. However, it should be noted that the current data shows that cars powered by hybrid and internal combustion engines are far more likely to catch fire than EVs, but that EV fires are harder to put out once they get started. Every seen a lithium-ion battery catch fire and turn into a roaring cauldron of fire similar to what one might imagine being in Dante’s 9th circle of hell, the sort of fire that allegedly killed two teens after a Tesla crash a few years ago? No? Well then you need to…

Remember the days not too far in America’s past when its carmaking giants employed tens upon tens of thousands of American workers that were able to earn a good wage and provide for a family while producing some of the most iconic cars out there? Yeah, neither do all the laid-off workers in the Rust Belt who have seen their jobs shipped to Mexico and Southeast Asia by corporate executives that got their MBAs from woke universities and went on a “cost-cutting” spree, laying off thousands of Americans to add a few percentage points to yearly profits. And whatever remnants…
Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, during a recent segment of “The View”, attempted to smear the conservative student organization TPUSA (Turning Point USA) by using an incident where a few Nazis showed up to protest the organization in an attempt to smear it as a Nazis organization. It was a disgusting pack of lies that led TP USA to fire off a “cease and desist” letter in retaliation. The problem with the segment began when Joy Behar started commenting on the incident and said: “Neo-Nazis were out there in the front of the conference with anti-Semitic slurs and, you know,…
GOP congressman Adam Kinzinger was, for whatever reason, infected with one of the worst cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome of all time. Whereas the Democrats hated Trump and ranted about him as a way of stirring up their base and RINOs of the Liz Cheney and Jeb! Bush mold hated him for going after the George W. Bush Administration with a vengeance, Kinzinger just hates Trump because he hates Trump. Unlike the Democrats, he gets nothing out of the adversarial relationship. Unlike the Cheneys or Bushes, he has no blood-soaked legacy to defend. Unlike Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, he doesn’t…
Jim Harbaugh is the coach of the Michigan Wolverines, the football team for the University of Michigan. Given his role within a university, it might be expected for him to be woke, or at least willing to go along with the “current thing” and toe the leftist line when speaking in public. Such is what might be expected, but it’s not what he’s done over the past few days when commenting on the hot-button topic of abortion; rather, he’s doubled down on his pro-life rhetoric despite the leftist backlash. The spat began when he spoke on July 17th at the…
President Joe Biden supposedly contracted Covid, and so has been holed up in the White House until he gets better, with Kamala presumably watching and waiting for any sign of weakness that would give her the opportunity to be president, if only for a bit. But, though the Resident-in-Chief is even more of a vegetable than normal, his weakness hasn’t stopped Republicans from making hilarious jokes about him and his disaster of an administration. If anything, the diagnosis has just renewed interest in making fun of his obvious weakness. Such is what happened during last night’s “Hannity” program, with both…
Congressman Eric Swalwell is the Congressman that, in his infinite wisdom, “dated” a CCP spy named Fang Fang. While perhaps he can claim that he “didn’t know” and that it was an honest mistake, you’d think his letting his sex drive lead him down the path of such a high-profile breach of security would make him a bit introspective and less likely to act like a crazy person in how he describes what’s going on and what he thinks Trump and the Republicans are up to. Not so. With the Fang Fang incident mostly out of the minds of the…
Want a car that can take you on a road trip across the country, can fill up in minutes rather than hours, and can drive more than a hundred or so miles at a time? Well, then an electric vehicle isn’t for you unless you splurge on one of the high-end Tesla models, as those might have the range and “supercharge” capacity to make a road trip in one slightly less miserable and time-consuming. But, even then, it isn’t as easy to take a long trip in a Tesla as to just take a combustion-engine power vehicle of any sort…
As a nation, it makes sense to not allow your main enemy to put up your arable land and so potentially limit your ability to grow food for yourself or stop exporting food to that nation as a negotiation tool. During the Cold War, for example, America occasionally sold the Soviet Union grain, but it never allowed the Soviets to buy up swathes of US farmland and so grow that grain for itself in America’s fertile fields. But, though are elites back then weren’t the best, they were certainly smarter than today’s gang of insouciant and vapid “leaders”, “leaders” in…
Want to see something funny? Well, check out this hilarious video showing Jake Tapper’s painful, shocked reaction to seeing just how badly President Biden is really doing. Watch here: As you can see in the video, CNN’s political director, David Chalian, was speaking with CNN anchor Jake Tapper on “The Lead” about Biden’s approval rating. Specifically, the two were discussing President Brandon’s absolutely horrific approval rating, which is well below former Presidents Donald Trump, Barack Obama, and George Bush for having the “right priorities” at this point in his presidency. That’s despite Trump being constantly attacked by RINOs of the Liz…
Brittney Griner, the WNBA “star” that protested against America in the wake of George Floyd’s death by refusing to appear on the court for the national anthem and saying that she thought the national anthem shouldn’t be played at all, is not fading quietly into the night and just accepting that she’s going to go to prison in Russia for breaking that nation’s laws and smuggling drugs into the country (an act that she admitted to). Rather, she’s making absurd excuses for her conduct, as if the Russians will let her free if only she comes up with just the…
Want to know what defunding the police looks like? Look at Minneapolis, where, in the wake of George Floyd’s death, a city government official pledged to “end policing as we know it”. Fortunately, residents voted overwhelmingly against a measure that would defund and replace the police, wanting their communities to be safe. However, while that measure was voted down, Minneapolis has still lost about 35% of its police officers since St. Floyd of Fentanyl’s death and all the “summer of love” riots that resulted from his passing. And, despite the cheery predictions from the city council officials that slashed the policing…
Back when Team Biden appointed Nina Jankowicz, an obvious leftist that had pushed the lie about Trump colluding with Russia, to head the “Disinformation Governance Board”, America freaked out, getting angry at the idea that there would be government attempts to attack “disinformation” at all, with the fact that such a partisan hack was put in the position being even more rage-inducing to many. Well, Team Biden obviously didn’t learn that lesson, as it just hired Camille Stewart Gloster to be the new deputy director of The White House’s Office of the National Cyber Director. And that’s important because, far…
How badly have things in the US gotten, particularly in the realm of media and censorship? So badly that now even avowed leftist Noam Chomsky is describing the current, anti-Russian censorship regime as being worse than the censorship regime in the Soviet Union. That comment came when Chomsky appeared in a recent interview with Russell Brand on his podcast, “Under the Skin,” a podcast in which Brand routinely demolishes, or at least attacks, the totems and shibboleths of the modern liberal world order. Watch Chomsky’s comment about the totalitarian state of modern America, a comment that went viral after being…
Though former President Donald Trump is still the likely 2024 presidential pick for the GOP, as his recent victory in TPUSA poll showed (Trump won by a whopping 60 points, wiping the floor with all of his competitors), Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is still keeping himself as a contender, particularly if Trump doesn’t run, by wading into issues of national importance rather than sticking purely to the sphere of Florida. Such is what he did during a recent speech of his at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida. During that speech, DeSantis didn’t only highlight his own…
The wokies that have destroyed American entertainment suffered another blow recently, this time with TBS having to cut Samantha Bee’s unwatched show “Full Frontal” because…well, who wants to watch “Full Frontal” and hear a leftist rant about the “current thing” and show her disdain for the average American? No one does, obviously. And so “Full Frontal” has been cut from the TBS lineup for “business-related” reasons, as TBS announced in a statement, saying: “As we continue to shape our new programming strategy, we’ve made some difficult, business-based decisions. We are proud to have been the home to ‘Full Frontal With…
Brandon just got back from his trip to beg the sheiks of Saudi Arabia to pump more oil to keep prices lower for American consumers, a trip made more ridiculous even than it sounds at first glance thanks to Biden’s heated, anti-Saudi rhetoric, his administration’s hostility to American energy producers, and the lack of any reason for the Saudi’s to go along with what Biden wants given his attempts to strike a deal with Iran and the fact that they make more money when prices are higher. And, unsurprisingly, it doesn’t really appear to have worked. The Saudis will do…
Following the persecution and prosecution of former Trump aide and committed conservative Steve Bannon, who was dragged before a court for “contempt of Congress” over confusion regarding executive privilege and the committee, former Democrat Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard spoke out, breaking from her former party in slamming the politicized DOJ for its persecution of a political enemy of the Biden regime. She did so in a tweet that included her summation of what has so far happened and a video in which she tore into the DOJ with a vengeance, blasting it for how politicized it has gotten. Watch that here:…
Though EVs and all their many flaws might be the most obvious failure of the “green energy” movement, at least to the average consumer watching how easy it is to get from place to place in a combustion engine-powered vehicle compared to an EV, particularly when long distances come into play, the other prominent parts of the same movement are taking a hit too. Among those failures is the recent failures of solar makes it beyond obvious that those ugly blue panels aren’t going to save the planet at any point in the near future. In fact, solar’s most obvious…
Appearing at Turning Point USA’s “Student Action Summit” in Tampa, Florida, former President Donald Trump absolutely ripped into Pelosi and other far-left loons like Adam Schiff, hilariously describing Nasty Nancy as a nut job” and a “psycho”. That came as part of a long riff on Schiff, Pelosi, and her husband, saying: “We don’t talk about what we should be and you say, ‘Where does it stop? Where does it all end?’ It probably doesn’t stop because despite the great outside dangers. Our biggest threat remains the sick and sinister and very evil people from within our country. “Guys like…
In what’s now the one positive announcement of Biden’s year and a half or so in office, the White House recently announced that the president, who’s gotten all the jabs and boosters, has received a positive Covid test. Capitalizing on that announcement, Republicans like Tucker Carlson used the announcement as an opportunity to mock and poke fun at Biden. Tucker Carlson, for instance mocked Biden for his “sniffing” behavior and noted that the diagnosis comes at a very convenient time for Slow Joe, saying: So, if you’re on Air Force One yesterday or you went to a big press conference…
