[WND] A transgender activist stated on social media this week that he wishes to be the first biological male identifying as a female to have an abortion — and that he would get pregnant on purpose in order to kill the baby by abortion.
In a video shared by Libs of TikTok, the activist said, "I want to be the first trans woman to have a successful uterus transplant — ovaries and eggs included — and I want to be the first trans woman to have an abortion."
The activist went on to explain that he wants an ‘experienced’ doctor to “cut the organs out of a willing, healthy, trans-masculine donor, place them in my body. I will devote myself heart and soul to their aftercare. I will have as much gay sex as it takes with as many trans women as it takes and let the transphobes and homophobes scratch their heads wondering what to make of it. And I want to be the first transwoman to have an abortion.”
[PJ] Soon after a World Economic Forum partner was caught calling for an "end" to private car ownership, a climate expert is warning that the push to cancel gas-powered cars is just a ploy to end private transport. The climate crisis is a hoax, but it’s such a darn useful hoax for authoritarian globalists.
Climate Depot’s Marc Morano went on Fox Business Thursday and discussed how the Democrat and globalist push to replace gas cars with electric vehicles (EVs) isn’t about helping the environment but restricting Americans’ freedom of movement. "This really isn’t about them driving an electric car," Morano said, highlighting how this is a top-down decision not based on popular demand. "This literally is — the banning of gas-powered cars — is being done just like a COVID lockdown without a vote," he added. From California to the Biden Environmental Protection Agency to Australia, leftists are trying to force ordinary citizens into a corner with their gas car restrictions.
Indeed, Pew Research Center published the results of its new survey on June 28, which found that "Less than half of the [U.S.] public (40%) favors phasing out the production of gas-powered cars and trucks." It’s also significant that EV batteries actually generate lots of toxic waste, so they’re not better for the environment.
"The intent is not to necessarily force people into an electric vehicle," Morano went on. "The intent is to collapse our plentiful freedom of movement and force us to use mass transit. They want us on the subway." It’s a global collusion. "They want us on buses. That is what this is about," Morano insisted. "[Former UK PM] Boris Johnson’s transportation secretary said owning a car was outdated ’20th-century thinking’. They are rationing vehicle use. It’s very simple. You can look at Cuba to see how that turned out; you are going to have a lot of used cars."

Been watching more Chinese tv drama's lately. Have been noticing CCP slips here there.
Like an actor playing a rich family wife saying we need to go see _____, tomorrow. An rich actor husband sayingwe can't because the car is under restricted travel this week. We will have to use the train & cab.

On the other hand, current hydrocarbon consumption levels are not sustainable forever; electric power could be (with nukes,) though storage and transport of electrons has a long way to go (I think using electricity to manufacture synthetic liquid hydrocarbon fuels has more potential than batteries…)

Mobility is a pox to the concept of the hive city, the baseline component of the brave new world the Globalists envision. Once you herd the overwhelming majority of the population back into the Soviet Bloc apartment/public transport/digital currency/ESG scored hives, control is certain with Stasi-like techniques and efficiency. It is equity for the proles, and the rural Dacha's are the exception for the ruling class. A vision straight out of the DDR playbook of 1978, redux!

Yes. From Blade Runner to Soylent Green, making the countryside off-limits is central to the plan.

My folks are complaining today. They bought a hibrid. Registration in Ohio cost twice as much for a hibrid.

"Hydrocarbon consumption levels are unsustainable."
Is that anything like Peak Oil last century?

The problem is losses in conversion. You won't get more than 10% efficiency going from electrons to HC fuel and then burning HC fuel to motion. While electrons to battery to motion can result in 90% efficiency.
Come on, man! Peak Oil is some serious shit.
We use oil to light our homes and run our machines.
Demand is constantly increasing but there are only so many whales in the world. No matter how many we catch, eventually we will run out of whales and civilization will collapse.
If you have a bent for history, you may have noticed that Civilization never collapsed due to lack of whale oil. When something becomes expensive/rare, we find cheaper alternatives or substitutes. We're clever monkeys, it's what we do.
The thing missing from the Malthusian Models of Doom is technology. As a Neolithic farmer with a stick, I can produce say 1 bushel per acre. As a 21st century farmer with a John Deere and some fertilizer, I can get maybe 50. A model is only as good as its assumptions. The Malthusians are assuming a static world. They also like to extrapolate a lot.
[Bus Insider] A Rivian owner said his R1T electric pickup truck cost about $42,000 to fix after it was hit at a stoplight earlier this year, according to a report The New York Times.
Chris Apfelstadt told the publication that while he'd expected the repair wouldn't be cheap, it was a "shocking number."
The incident, which occurred February in Columbus, Ohio, was at first believed to be somewhat minor, according to the Times report, which said the other driver's insurance offered to pay about $1,600. But, after the electric car was taken to a repair shop that was certified to work with Rivian products the cost jumped to $42,000, the publication said.
The repair cost over half the starting price of the vehicle. One of the primary reasons for the high price was that the accident affected a panel that reaches from the back of the vehicle all the way to the front roof pillars of the truck and fixing the panel required service workers to remove the ceiling and front windshield, the Times said.
The publication also attributed the cost to the lack of repair shops for the Rivian R1T and the expense of fixing EVs that rely on more high-tech parts. Like Tesla, Rivian does not use dealers. The company has certified about 200 repair shops in North America and Apfelstadt only had three to choose from in Ohio, according to the Times. The company also only has about 34 of its own service centers.

Ah. As insurers get data like this, watch what happens to the cost of insuring an EV.

...The design of just about every EV means that even a basic accident like this means you're going to pay well into five figures to fix it - if you can find somebody to fix it.
So you might say, "Well, Mike, I'll show you - it's just a dent; everything is working, I'll keep driving it. So there."
Well, that's not a good idea either. See, even the most simple of EVs - take a base model Tesla, for instance - is a sensor package on wheels that relies on VERY precise measurements and calibration for them to function. One of them is even faintly out of whack and they all are...which means you may not know exactly what's happening with your car. Little things like speed, remaining charge, details like that. Not to mention that on most pure EVs, ANY collision that leaves damage - even scuffed paint - requires inspection, or it voids the warranty.

Teslas are notoriously poorly put together. I'm sure part of the Tesla PR budget is spent suppressing stories like this.

I still maintain Tesla (TSLA) sees $100/share again.
Tesla had to cut prices multiple times this year, and here we are in a recession with more people shopping at the likes of Dollar General.

The absurd explosion of helicopter money as a band-aid on the real problems of the US economy (long predating the Fed's COVID interventions) have created a lot of market distortions that, as the economist said, are things that can't go on forever, and so they won't.

/\ Yes, in time you simply run out of credit cards.
[Gateway] Tim Ballard, the man whose life inspired the box office hit Sound of Freedom, sat down with Tim Poole on Thursday night and shared insider details about the new movie.
Ballard also shared other testimonies about missions where he rescued children from sex trafficking rings outside of Colombia.
One of the most intriguing missions involved legendary actor Mel Gibson.
Ballard told the cast of Timcast IRL, that at the beginning of the Ukraine-Russia War, his wife Katherine had an intense intuition for him to go to Ukraine to rescue orphans who were in danger of being sex trafficked.
Shortly after his wife Katherine urged him to go to Ukraine, Mel Gibson gave Ballard a call and said he had intel that there are kids in the war zone in Ukraine that need rescuing.
After both his wife and Mel Gibson led him to go to Ukraine, Ballard alongside side the organization Aerial Recovery was able to get over 6,000 women and children to safety and later Ballard was able to expose a pedophile group that was trafficking children from Ukraine to Mexico.
Ballard also hinted the entire operation was documented by Tony Robbins.

Pence is an establishment guy. Another bizarre choice by Trump; or, did Trump think Pence could help him in dealing with the neocons? Was Pence thrust upon Trump to be the VP? I'd never heard of Pence before 2016.

Look at the Veep candidates this century. Pence fits right in with this august group of dolts.

Bush Sr. might have been the exception, but with luminaries such as Quayle, al-Gore, Mondale, and, of course, the Big Guy & Kamala, there's no doubt we've had some winners.

I think he brought H.R Puffenstuff McMaster to the administration. I think Wray proved worse, but the first Trump administration was a mosaic of scatological samples.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
