Joe Biden joins the UAW strike

In an attempt to hide his contempt for Internal Combustion Engines, Joe Biden will join the UAW picket line today. Let's hope that the UAW doesn't recognize the fact that Joe Biden is selling the UAW down the river with his pro-EV policies. Whenever an EV rolls off the GM or Stellantis assembly line, more UAW jobs disappear to right-to-work states or China.

The White House is doing its best to spin this strike in Biden's direction. That's especially difficult when the truth is that Biden is paving the path for increased unemployment for UAW workers. The only thing that can save UAW jobs is a change in automotive policies. Anything short of that is spin.

According to ABCNews’s reporting, "President Joe Biden will join the United Auto Workers picket line Tuesday in his strongest show of support yet for union members striking against General Motors, Ford and Stellantis. Biden announced Friday on X that he would travel to Wayne County, Michigan, 'to join the picket line and stand in solidarity with the men and women of UAW as they fight for a fair share of the value they helped create.'" About 45 seconds into this video, KJP said that Biden will continue to stand with workers:

That's interesting from the standpoint that his all-in policy for EVs is killing the UAW. First, EVs require fewer workers to build. Next, the workers that are required work in plants built in right-to-work states. I'd love to hear Biden explain how that's 'standing with workers.'

This won't end well for the UAW:

UAW launched its strike against the "Big 3" U.S. automakers on Sept. 15 after failing to reach a contract agreement. The union, which is conducting a "stand-up" strike, recently expanded its walk outs with 38 new locations targeting Stellantis and GM. Key among the union demands are a 36% pay increase over four years and a 32-hour work week.
Thanks to Joe Biden's obsession with EVs, the UAW's push for a massive pay increase and a shorter work week, it isn't likely that the Big 3 automakers aren't likely to give ground in these negotiations. They can simply put their support behind the GOP presidential candidate, wait for him/her to drop Biden's EV obsession, then move more production to right-to-work states. The UAW will be DOA at that point.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
