Eight House Democrats Vote to Pull the Plug on Biden’s EV Rule

  Leslie Eastman (legalinsurrection.com)  

It will take a long time to chip away in piecemeal fashion all the economic damage done under Harris and her green energy minions. But the House vote is a good sign that even more dominoes will fall. 

"Meanwhile, the Harris-Walz campaign is silent on climate policy, which is odd because Harris was tie-breaking vote in the Inflation Reduction Act that was, in reality, the Green New Deal that brought policies like the EV mandate.

"Another green energy domino is falling, and we have bipartisanship to thank for it!

"Eight Democrats voted with the House GOP to overturn a Biden administration rule that forces automakers to make a significant portion of their fleet electric.

The Democrats who voted in favor of overturning the rule were Reps. Yadira Caraveo (Colo.), Henry Cuellar (Texas), Don Davis (N.C.), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Jared Golden (Maine), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Marcy Kaptur (Ohio), and Mary Sattler Peltola (Alaska).

All eight Democrats represent districts that are highly competitive in this fall’s election.

One Republican, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), voted with the rest of the Democrats against axing the rule. Fitzpatrick also represents a competitive district, though it is rated as likely Republican by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

"The action comes as EV sales, a keystone of compliance with this nonsense, have begun to slow.

“The EPA’s latest tailpipe emissions rule is not really about reducing air pollution. It’s about forcing Americans to drive electric vehicles,’’ said Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Washington, the chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

She called the rule “unreasonable” and “just another example of how the Biden-Harris administration’s rush-to-green agenda is handing China the key to America’s energy future, jeopardizing our auto industry and forcing people to buy unaffordable EVs they don’t want.’’

"The effort is not expected to eliminate the rule. If the resolution that passes makes it past the Senate, Biden (or his designated minder of the day) will veto it." . . .

After 11 months of letting Hezbollah shoot at it, Israel is destroying Hezbollah

"Israel is not the leading edge of the free world. It is the last gasp of the free world. If it goes, we all go."  AW

Andrea Widburg - American Thinker  "Hezbollah (an Iranian proxy) has taken rocket-fired potshots at Israel for years. However, beginning immediately after Hamas (an Iranian proxy) attacked Israel on October 7, Hezbollah began launching rockets at Israel every day. Israel, preoccupied with the Gaza War, relocated over 70,000 people who lived in northern Israel to get them out of the line of fire. Now, though, Israel is fully engaging Hezbollah and, after an awesome start, Israel’s war is still going...well, awesomely.

"According to Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Hezbollah has fired over 8,000 rockets at Israel in the last 11 months, which is around 24 rockets a day. Of that number, the overwhelming majority were fired before Operation Grim Beeper, which occurred last week. Thus, even while Democrats and the rest of the world were screaming about Israel’s delicately conducted war against Hamas (an urban war with the lowest civilian-to-soldier casualty rate in history), everyone was ignoring the non-stop rocket fire directed at Israel’s civilians.

"Despite these provocations, Israel waited patiently until just the right time to launch her defense against Hezbollah’s one-sided attacks. It had been planning the pager operation for 15 years and would not be rushed into it until the time was right.

"The pager attack, as we all know, was stunningly successful, much to the chagrin of the Israel haters. According to Hezbollah’s internal documents, 879 Hezbollah members and 291 senior commanders died, presumably because the confined blasts (which left civilians virtually unscathed) severed their femoral arteries." . . .

NO ONE ELECTED HER: Why Does Jill Biden's Signature Appear on Joe Biden's Official Legislation Folders?

  The Gateway Pundit | by Mike LaChance

"A very curious image has been making the rounds on social media for a few days now and it’s raising some serious questions about who is really in charge of the country right now."

"It’s a picture of one of Joe Biden’s official legislation folders and it includes not only Joe Biden’s signature, but also Jill Biden’s. Why does her signature appear here? No one elected her to anything.

"Just this week, people across the country were shocked to see Jill Biden sitting at the head of the table at a Joe Biden cabinet meeting, now this.

. . . "Philip Wegmann of Real Clear Politics confirms that this is real:

A senior Hill aide tells me that when lawmakers are given a signed copy of their bill, the folder containing has both President Biden and First Lady Biden’s signatures emblazoned on the cover. https://t.co/NfUjUUAC00

It Is Biden and Harris Who Are Not Doing Enough to Free the Hostages

 Alan M. Dershowitz; Gatestone Institute

"The message sent by this administration's weakness and lack of will is being heard loud and clear not only by Iran but by our other enemies as well."

 Hersh Goldberg-Polin, a citizen of the United States and Israel who was

murdered by Hamas after being held hostage by in Gaza for almost

 10 months, appears, with his left hand amputated, in a Hamas

propaganda video published on April 24, 2024.

. . ."US President Joe Biden's off-the-cuff, one-word answer — "no"— to the question of whether Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was doing enough to free Israeli hostages from Hamas captivity and get a cease-fire, will only encourage Hamas to up its demands and refuse to agree to a reasonable deal. So far, it appears as if Hamas, instead of negotiating, has just been saying, "no." The US is reportedly no longer expecting a ceasefire before the November 5 US presidential election.

"Biden's remark sends a dangerous message to Israel's and America's enemies that, by continuing to terrorize and hold hostages, they can turn the Biden administration against Israel.

"Why should Hamas agree to a ceasefire when its refusal is blamed on Israel by the president of the United States? In addition, when Biden blames Israel, he encourages other allies, such as Great Britain, Canada, France and Germany, to do the same.

"Netanyahu responded to Biden's false accusation by quoting Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Deputy CIA Director David Cohen to the effect that it was Hamas and not Israel that was refusing to agree to a ceasefire. Netanyahu cited chapter and verse to document Hamas's rejection of Israeli offers. Biden, however, in election mode, seemed to care more about placating the anti-Israel flank of his party than telling the truth about the complex ongoing negotiations. He blamed Netanyahu alone without even mentioning Hamas. And this was after Hamas terrorists had murdered six hostages, including an American.

"Although Biden did say that the Hamas killers would pay a price for the murders of the hostages, he did not say that Iran— which controls Hamas— would pay any price, including increased sanctions, or worse, unless the hostages, including the Americans, are released, unharmed, immediately.

"It is Biden and Harris who are not doing enough to secure the release of the hostages. They could be doing far more in the way of issuing credible threats — economic and military — against Iran, which has the power to influence Hamas. They should warn Iran that if Hamas harms any American hostages, we will regard that as an attack on the US that warrants a military response against Iranian military targets." . . .

Prosecutors file alleged letter from Trump suspect: 'This was an assassination attempt'

 Zach Schonfeld (thehill.com)

"The suspect being investigated in the recent apparent assassination attempt of former President Trump wrote a letter detailing his plans months prior, prosecutors alleged in court documents filed Monday.

" 'Dear world, this was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I am so sorry I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster,” the alleged letter reads

"Prosecutors said Ryan Routh, the 58-year-old suspect, put the letter inside a box and dropped it off with an unnamed witness “several months” before he pushed the muzzle of a rifle through the perimeter of Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course in Florida on Sept. 15. 

"The witness only opened the box, which also contained ammunition and other letters, after learning of the incident.

"The filing also revealed that Routh’s phone pinged cell towers near Trump’s golf course and Mar-a-Lago for nearly a month in the lead-up to the incident.  When searching Routh’s car, authorities also purportedly found a handwritten list of dates and venues where Trump had appeared or was expected to be present. 

" 'Everyone across the globe from the youngest to the oldest know that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less as US president. U.S. presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity,” it reads. 

"A photo of the first page of the letter was attached as part of prosecutors’ written arguments for why Routh should continue to be detained. He is scheduled to appear in court later Monday for a detention hearing." . . .

Residents of Springfield interviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation outlined how the community has struggled to handle the influx of migrants.

. . .“ 'These are people who have revived and breathed a new life into a community that was desperately seeking change,” Omar continued. “The kind of, the kind of ways in which their new employers and their new neighbors describe them is what every immigrant, when they come to this country, wants to be described. That they are hardworking, that they are warm, that they are friendly, that they are excited to be part of this new community that they find themselves. Because ultimately, that is what immigrants do and we should know that as a nation of immigrants.”

"The Biden administration has allowed migrants from Haiti to come into the U.S. via the “CHNV” program, which allows Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans to receive parole and enter the country by plane, even if they might not normally receive visas, according to the America First Policy Center.

“We should know what it means for our country to have that renewed promise every single day of being a beacon of hope, of providing that opportunity,” Omar said. “And for us to want to be seen by the world as such and not be seen through the lens of small men like Trump and J.D. Vance, who have so much insecurities, that instead of uplifting people that they want to put them down. So I am so proud to be in this body with colleagues who have the bravery, the courage and the backbone to say we are not going to allow in our name for our Haitian siblings to come into this country and face this derogatory, demeaning narrative.”

Democrats Rush to Rashida Tlaib’s Rescue Over Cartoon Depicting Her With Exploded Pager

"The bad news is the Outrage Mob is continuing to do its thing. Hopefully, NRO won’t back down in the face of demands for an apology/retraction."

"The story of the exploding pagers and how they wreaked absolute havoc on Hezbollah terrorists last week will be studied, analyzed, and debated long after anyone reading this is gone.

“ 'The attack on the militant and political group Hezbollah via exploding pagers and walkie-talkies this week, widely believed to be conducted by Israel, was a novel use of a well-trodden spy tactic and a devastating intelligence blow to Hezbollah, ” NBC News reported after interviews with warfare and intelligence experts.

"The tactic, of course, was condemned by The Usual Suspects including members of the so-called “Squad” of anti-Israel radicals in Congress like Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who called it “disgusting” and retweeted a post from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who declared “This attack clearly and unequivocally violates international humanitarian law and undermines US efforts to prevent a wider conflict.”

Iconic American Company Shutters Its Last Full Size Store, Marking End of an Era

  TFPP Wire 

"With only a downsized store remaining in Miami, Kmart’s journey from a retail powerhouse to near oblivion is a brutal reminder of the relentless pace of change in the retail sector and the necessity for businesses to adapt or face extinction."

 "The last full-size Kmart store in the continental United States will close its doors for the last time in October, according to a new report from Fox Business. According to reports, the Bridgehampton, New York store, operational for the past 25 years, will cease operations on October 20th. This closure highlights the end of an era for the once-dominant retailer, leaving only a reduced-size store in Miami as the sole Kmart in the continental U.S., alongside three locations in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Key Facts:  

– The final full-size Kmart in Bridgehampton, New York is closing on October 20.

– Post-closure, the only remaining Kmart in the continental U.S. will be a downsized store in Miami.
– Kmart, under the ownership of Transformco, still maintains three stores in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
– The first Kmart opened in 1962; the company has since faced multiple bankruptcies, the most recent in 2018.

The Rest of The Story:  "The closure of the last full-size Kmart in the continental U.S. represents a significant decline from the chain’s peak in the early 1990s, when it boasted around 2,300 locations. The Bridgehampton store, which has been a community staple for a quarter-century, is set to shut down, according to a report from Newsday, citing store employees.

"This move will make the Miami store, which now occupies a fraction of its original size in the Kendale Lakes Plaza, the last standing Kmart in mainland America. Kimco Realty Corp., the real estate company that owns the shopping centers housing these stores, confirmed the upcoming closure.

Commentary:  "This latest closure is emblematic of Kmart’s inability to evolve with the changing times, signifying the end of an era for what was once a retail titan.

"Kmart’s decline has been long and fraught with challenges, including multiple bankruptcies and an ill-fated merger with Sears.

"Their inability to adapt to new retail models and consumer preferences has left them trailing far behind competitors who embraced digital transformation and more agile business strategies." . . .

They inevitably were rounded up by politicos. The signees in many cases are likely angling for a return to government; in others, they are loudly virtue-signaling—and in nearly all instances, are usually wrong but will never issue a second letter of apology when their concocted expertise and pretentiousness are thoroughly discredited by subsequent events.

"One of the most preposterous recent trends has been the political use of supposed expert letters and declarations of support from so-called “authorities.”

"These pretentious testimonies of purported professionalism are different from the usual inane candidate endorsements from celebrities and politicos.

"Instead, they are used by politicians to impress and persuade the public to follow the “expertise,” “science,” or “authorities” to support all sorts of injurious initiatives and policies—of dubious value and otherwise without much political support.

"Think of all the health experts who collectively swore to us that the COVID mRNA vaccinations would give us ironclad and lasting protection from being either infectious or infected and were without any side effects.

"Other “authorities” assured us the first nationwide lockdown in U.S. history would stop COVID without hurting the social or economic life of the country.

" 'We wanted to present a narrative that prioritizes opposition to racism as vital to the public health, including the epidemic response. We believe that the way forward is not to suppress protests in the name of public health but to respond to protesters demands in the name of public health.”

"To convince the public to get behind the agendas of politicians—increasingly on the left—ideologues round up groups of politically kindred professors, researchers, retired officials, and former bureaucrats to show off their supposed expertise and convince the public by means of their “authority”." . . .   Sen.
