How can this be? GM laying off workers? But it’s all about building the EV.

UAW Local 5960 member Kimberly Fuhr inspects a Chevrolet Bolt EV during vehicle production on May 6, 2021, at the General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, Michigan.

How can this be? GM laying off workers? But it’s all about building the EV. Not so long ago we were told that this new contract would make life so much better for the union folk. Huge raise come at a price, but no the workers wouldn’t listen. Now the layoffs begin.

First it was the slashing od 24% of the workforce at it’s Cruse division. And all the robo taxi’s built there recalled.

Now this. GM plans to lay off about 1,300 workers in Michigan starting early next year due to vehicles they produce ending production, the company disclosed in state documents.

But don’t worry they will have jobs for you in 2025. Yeah right.

Winning. Congressman Johnson gets a stop misinformation amendment in the Defense Bill. It’s been a regular practice by the Biden Administration to allow Progressive groups like Newsguard and Global Disinformation Index (GDI) to control who’s allowed to advertise with the Pentagon. This new bill stops that.

The new NDAA provision expressly prohibits any advertising agency the Defense Department contracts with from using services that engage in “determinations of misinformation.”

The new law would also require the Pentagon to inform the House and Senate Armed Services committees any time the recruitment division directly contracts with NewsGuard, GDI or a similar entity.

Help me out here, why isn’t the EU helping Ukraine more?

European Union Agrees to Start Membership Talks with Ukraine

Help me out here, why isn’t the EU helping Ukraine more? Just the other day the Ukranian President again came over here for another handout. He just walked across the border and hiked up to DC.

No, he hopped on a plane and flew thousands of miles. Bypassing all those other countries he flew over. Why didn’t he stop and visit his neighbors? Maybe that he came here because the EU turned him down as a group. But they can still individually give him aid.

Finally, we’re one country. The EU is over 20 countries. Why ask us for a larger pkg? Asked the US for 61 million and EU 54 million.

This is crazy. New York Removes Medical Debt from Credit Reports.

New York Removes Medical Debt from Credit Reports . So how can a law like this even be legal? Unpaid medical debt will no longer appear in New York residents’ credit reports under a bill signed into law by Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday.

So, if you refuse to pay your medical bills, banks and John Q Public will not know that you’re a deadbeat? Don’t get me wrong. Medical bills have put people in Bankruptcy. Still not a reason to ignore your personal responsibility.

Just because the NY governor says so, it doesn’t absolve you of your debt. If anything, it causes a false sense of security and will cause some to go into more debt. This needs to be court challenged.

No Hunter, a Deposition isn’t done in public, it’s done in Private.

Biden wants jail time for those who refuse to testify.

No Hunter, a Deposition isn’t done in public, it’s done in Private. Hunter Biden ignored his subpoena claiming he wanted a public deposition and cameras there to record the deposition.

The cameras were going to be there and in depositions you have a court reporter who takes down everything word for word. Not good enough for Hunter.

I’ve been part of depositions in both civil and criminal cases and they’re not public. Private hearing and 100% recorded by a court reporter. Even a cough is reported in the hearing, so nothings left out.

Now the next move is for Contempt of Congress Proceedings. Now as you know, Navarro and Bannon were arrested when they ignored subpoenas. Will Garland have Hunter arrested for doing the same?

Joe Biden thinks that those who ignore a subpoena should be arrested.

(1) House Republicans on X: “Will @POTUS instruct the DOJ to prosecute Hunter if he defies a Congressional subpoena? QUESTION: “Mr. President, what’s your message to people who defy Congressional subpoenas…Should they be prosecuted by the Justice Department?” BIDEN: “Yes” https://t.co/hVQnsRqpo5″ / X (twitter.com)

If true, how scary is this? More than 1-in-5 Mail-In Voters Admit to Cheating in 2020 Election. A recent poll showed that more than 1-in-5 voters who submitted ballots by mail say they did so fraudulently. Some highlights from that poll.

The survey asked those who voted by mail in the 2020 election if they filled out a ballot “in part or in full, on behalf of a friend or family member, such as a spouse or child?” to which 21 percent said they had done so. Though many states allow voters to receive assistance while voting, the Heartland Institute notes, filling out ballots on behalf of another person is illegal across the United States.

In addition, 17 percent of mail-in voters in the 2020 election said they cast a ballot in a state where they were no longer a permanent resident — a violation of federal election law. Another 17 percent of mail-in voters said they signed a ballot on behalf of someone else, also a violation of election law. Another 10 percent of all voters said they know someone who admitted to casting a mail-in ballot in a state where they are not a permanent resident and 11 percent said they know someone who admitted to signing a mail-in ballot on behalf of someone else in the 2020 election.

NAACP says show me your papers, Judge says no. The NAACP tried to stick their nose into the Governors private papers, the judge said Constitution protected.

A judge sided with Gov. Glenn Youngkin after the Virginia NAACP attempted to sue him.

The judge said, based on the evidence presented in court, those documents included confidential information and were exempt from the group’s FOIA request, as working papers for the Gov. are protected under the constitution.

How can this be? NY Times claims that ‘Stable Jobs with Decent Pay’ Harder to Find Due to Mass Immigration.

MIAMI, FLORIDA - MAY 05: A 'Now Hiring' sign posted outside of a restaurant looking to hire workers on May 05, 2023 in Miami, Florida. A report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed the US economy added 253,000 jobs in April. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)

How can this be? NY Times claims that ‘Stable Jobs with Decent Pay’ Harder to Find Due to Mass Immigration. The left was always saying that the undocumented were good for the economy. They work, pay taxes, etc. Yes, they do. but at what cost?

They flood the lower jobs and drive down wages. So, when citizens get a job it’s for less pay. Here’s what the NY Times says.

“That influx of workers, which includes a recovery in immigration flows, has also taken the air out of wage increases and made it more difficult for people on the margins of the labor market to find stable jobs with decent pay,” the Times reports:

Hybrid VS Plug in Hybrid.

You make the call.

Hybrid VS Plug in Hybrid. Some folks confuse the two with an all electric car. But the two hybrid’s still have gasoline Engines. And the EV does not. I leave out the EV because I think it’s time still hasn’t come. So below I used a Honda dealership that explains the difference.

Hybrid vs. Plug-in Hybrid: The Basics

You may be wondering: What’s the difference between hybrid and plug-in hybrid? We’ve listed the main differences between these vehicles below:

  • Standard hybrid vehicles rely on their gas engines to keep their batteries charged as you drive.
  • Standard hybrid vehicles use their gas and electric motors interchangeably to maximize your fuel efficiency.
  • Plug-in hybrids use a larger battery that is charged with a 120-volt or 240-volt outlet at your Tampa home. They also have a “backup” gas engine.
  • Plug-in hybrids use electric power until it’s depleted, then switch to the gas engine.

Hybrid vs. Plug-in Hybrid: Benefits of Standard Hybrid Vehicles

There are many benefits that come with making the switch to a hybrid vehicle over a conventional model. To begin, hybrid vehicles can maximize your fuel economy by switching between using their electric engine at lower speeds and the gas engine at higher speeds. Plus, traditional hybrid vehicles are an excellent option for Land O’ Lakes drivers who don’t want to rely on home charging. Since the gas engine charges the battery as you drive, you won’t need to stop and recharge the internal batteries to continue receiving high fuel economy ratings.

Hybrid vs. Plug-in Hybrid: Benefits of Plug-In Hybrid Models

Plug-in hybrid models also work with a gas engine and an electric motor, but the way that energy is distributed is different compared to standard hybrid models. A plug-in hybrid will primarily run on its electric motor until it’s depleted, then the gasoline engine will take over.

Rather than having two engines working simultaneously, plug-in hybrid vehicles use the gasoline engine as a “backup” for when the electric engine is out of charge. The distance traveled while operating solely on the battery is known as the vehicle’s electric range. However, once that limit is reached, you’ll need to plug your car in to regain battery power.

Since you can pre-charge your vehicle, many plug-in hybrid cars offer the range you need to run errands around town or take your commute on pure battery power, allowing you to save gas for longer trips.

We need more employers like this.

you're FIRED.

We need more employers like this. A California coffee shop owner in Oakland did what more employers should do. Fire employees who openly threaten folks because they disagree with their views.

They weren’t fired for protesting but fired for blocking a Jewish woman from a bathroom while making anti-Israel comments. This from the coffee shop owner.

“We are committed to working with community leaders and organizations across the Bay Area to make sure we as owners, and our employees, have the resources, education and skills necessary to peacefully exist in this community. We hope to continue to have the privilege of serving our community and to once again being a coffeehouse where everyone feels welcome,” the company posted.
