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.

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

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
