Daily update on Biden tanking america

So is this considered motor boating? Biden nibbles on frightened young girl during trip to Finland, weirding out Twitter users https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-nibbles-frightened-young-girl-during-trip-finland-weirding-twitter-users -
The graph listed as Figure 6 is quite telling. No one really understands the emissions from getting all the materials to make EVs yet. I have seen some studies that show diesels running on renewable diesels also known as hydrotreated vegetable oil (not biodiesel) is far superior to EVs in CO2 emissions even with optimistic EV manufacturing studies.

More disdain from Old Corrupt Joe for the taxpayers, and a blatant vote buying scheme. Biden forgives $39 BILLION in student debt for 804,000 Americans: White House goes around Supreme Court ruling to give handout to borrowers who have been paying for 20 years https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12299325/Biden-forgives-39-BILLION-student-debt-804-000-Americans.html Just FYI, Kamala Harris is less popular than ####### Cheney after he shot a guy in the face https://hotair.com/headlines/2023/07/14/just-fyi-kamala-harris-is-less-popular-than-#######-cheney-after-he-shot-a-guy-in-the-face-n564470 -
A long read, but well worth it as it is well researched and informative relative to the EV myth. As I have said many times, EVs are practical for some, but are not a complete replacement for ICE from a functionality standpoint. My issue is with the artificial market forces lead by the governments around the world and the likes of the WEF driving EV adoption. I heard one commenter mention a similarity to Palm Pilots with respect to the current EV market. When one company owns nearly 75% of the market (Tesla), it is really more of a cult product and potentially it will fall off the cliff in the early adopter phase like the Palm Pilot did. Now of course in the case of Palm Pilots, the governments were not directly or indirectly forcing their adoption, so EVs may face a different outcome, but with increasing distrust of governments, who really knows. Electric Vehicles for Everyone? The Impossible Dream July 12th, 2023 Report by Mark P. Mills The scale of those upstream emissions emerges from the fact that a typical EV battery weighs about 1,000 pounds and replaces a fuel tank holding about 80 pounds of gasoline.[31] That half-ton battery is made from a wide range of minerals, including copper, nickel, aluminum, graphite, cobalt, manganese, and, of course, lithium. Critically, the combined quantity of these specialty and so-called energy minerals is 10-fold greater in building an EV, compared with an ICE car.[32] As researchers at the U.S. Argonne National Labs have pointed out, the relevant emissions data on such materials “remain meager to nonexistent, forcing researchers to resort to engineering calculations or approximations.”[33] And, per IEA, data on the emissions intensity of specific minerals can “vary considerably across companies and regions.”[34] That is a consequential understatement. The fundamental fact to keep in mind: every claim for EVs reducing emissions is a rough estimate or an outright guess based on averages, approximations, or aspirations. The estimates entail myriad known unknowns about what happens upstream to obtain and process materials to fabricate the giant battery. Those factors not only vary wildly but can be big enough, alone, to wipe out from one-half to all the emissions saved by not burning gasoline. https://manhattan.institute/article/electric-vehicles-for-everyone-the-impossible-dream

So Old Corrupt Joe is planning another prisoner swap with Russia again. Why did he not demand Zelenskyy release Gonzalo Lira? I mean we have given them a whole lot of money, etc. "I'm serious about doing all we can to free Americans who are being illegally held in Russia, or anywhere else for that matter. And that process is underway," Biden said. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/evan-gershkovichs-sister-speaks-biden-us-prisoner-swap/story?id=101219612 https://thegrayzone.com/2023/06/01/father-gonzalo-lira-american-jailed-in-ukraine-imprisonment/ -

Not to worry, we will have an all electric military soon. -
Did you give your tax info to Meta?

Hmm, seems the saying "You get what you pay for" applies here with these free tax service sites. -
Didn't he recently move to Peru? Seems counter as they tend to be fairly conservative with respect to the Alphabet Mafia groups. Btw, I think the story got it wrong, it is not an actual boycott by conservatives, but rather swill (yes, Bud Light is swill) drinking folks choosing to spend their money elsewhere. Funny how BL did not make up that loss from all the Alphabet Mafia types.

From what many of us here can gather, "refused" means the application is not ready for approval yet and is just sitting on a desk essentially, and "AP" means someone is actively doing something with your case. The consulates used to simply use AP to describe everything. YMMV of course, but it is not uncommon to see a case toggle between refused to AP while the consulate is adjudicating it. What you don't want to see is "Denied", and what you do want to see it "Visa Issued". Good Luck!

That would go against the Democrat strategy. They need to keep suppressing the Biden corruption and overall train wreck, and if the Trump stuff ends fast, and someone like DeSantis or Tim Scott or any other Republican candidate wins the GOP primary, Biden and the Democrats are toast even if the Democrats replace Biden with Newsom.

Why are the Leftist activist and Leftist media types so against this movie? ‘Sound of Freedom’ Touched a Nerve on the Left: Not Just One, but Many (Jul. 9, 2023) — Spoiler alert: This article contains mild spoilers about the movie ‘Sound of Freedom’ that won’t interfere with your ability to enjoy it. I like Jim Caviezel, even before his classic performance in The Passion of the Christ, he was brilliant as Edmond Dantès in The Count of Monte Cristo. I listen to a number of podcasts, many just as background noise. So, of course, I was aware that Caviezel was making the rounds to promote his latest movie, Sound of Freedom. I confess I wasn’t paying too much attention as the movie first struck me as some sort of ‘right-wing Taken,’ which is not my cup of tea. Anyway, I felt like I would eventually watch it, maybe one of these days. https://www.thepostemail.com/2023/07/09/sound-of-freedom-touched-a-nerve-on-the-left-not-just-one-but-many/
