[Politico] F*&K HIM
His pitch: The effects of climate change are upon us and the world — including California — ignores them at their peril.
California is “meeting the moment head-on as the hots get hotter, the dries get drier, the wets get wetter, simultaneous droughts and rain bombs,” Newsom said last month in a Central Valley orchard outfitted with solar panels and batteries. “We have to address these issues with a ferocity that is required of us.”
He’s heading to the Vatican next week to meet with Pope Francis and other leaders, where he’ll highlight what’s at stake with “global temperatures hurtling towards alarming new heights.” The trip comes after a swing through China last fall, where he touted California’s sharing of climate policy and technology.
Newsom’s moves to promote electric vehicles and renewable energy while phasing out gas-powered cars, trying to recoup climate-related damages from oil giants and going after refiners’ profits have won strong support in California, but his efforts face a reliable line of attack from the industry and Republicans who say it’s all too expensive.
He’s used to the criticism. A key part of his strategy has been to ascribe high gas prices and utility bills to corporate greed and gouging while beating back proposals that he believes go too far like Proposition 30, which would have raised taxes on the rich in 2022 to funnel money to electric vehicles.

Limiting or restricting freedom of movement (via trucks, cars, farm tractors) is an essential element of any land invasion and occupation.
Preferring Red states to Blue, people are constantly moving about. They are quite difficult to monitor and control.

His popularity in California is 40%. Remember when people were talking about Newsom as a presidential shoe in candidate.

I would say cars are dying on their own because car companies do not build reliable, moderate priced vehicles that consumers want. Car companies are building cars that the GIVERNMENT wants. Chevy is cancelling the Malibu (last midsize car built in Detroit) and too be honest it looks like every other car on the market. The Malibu would still be selling if it looked like the 1964 model versus the 2024 model.

If any of my kids makes the mistake of allowing me to participate in homeschooling their, at this point, theoretical kids, history class will be sprinkled with the Fat Electrician videos. They will know what baloney mist is.

[PJ] In March 2021, Joe Biden signed an executive order focused on "access to voting," directing federal government agencies to bolster voter registration efforts, facilitate mail-in voting applications for Americans, and tackle misinformation, among other provisions. This order encapsulates the Democratic Party agenda, embedding numerous practices implemented temporarily during the pandemic-impacted 2020 election.
Three years later, the House GOP is now investigating the Biden administration after documents revealed that the White House has been coordinating with left-wing activists on voter registration.
"GOP lawmakers are growing increasingly worried that an executive order issued by President Joe Biden in 2021, which mandated that federal agencies develop voter registration plans with 'approved' outside groups, will be unlawfully weaponized this November to boost Democratic turnout," reports the Washington Examiner. "The Biden administration has framed the unprecedented operation as nonpartisan, though internal documents show the government hosted a July 2021 order planning call that appeared to serve overwhelmingly as a platform for left-wing organizations to suggest sweeping election policy changes."
"President Biden’s EO is an overreach of the executive branch’s constitutional authority and disregards the Constitution’s federalist election system," House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said in a statement to the Washington Examiner. "The states set the time, manner, and place of their own elections, and this EO must be looked at seriously."
Those conducting politically selective and slanted Justice and agendas will just continue to operate with immunity. Unless Trump is re-elected.
So, how about a mandatory 10+ Year sentence for any Governmental Staff, Employee, appointed and or elected official that politically applies bias justice, actions and/or rulings. Or does not apply the same due to political views.
In this latest "Do as we say, not as we do", LSD situation.
Don't count on the Dept of Selective Justice to act.
Unless Trump is re-elected.
