Adam Smith's Invisible Hand whips Joe Biden again

If I got the opportunity to tell Joe Biden something, I'd love telling him 'I told you so.' That being said, I'd love telling other Democrats 'I told you so', too. Anyone that thought things through knew that Biden's EV push wouldn't work. It took time for the truth to sink in but the truth is finally sinking into Biden's thick skull.

Ryan Saavedra's article opens by saying "President Joe Biden is reportedly preparing to ease its push to force electric vehicles onto American consumers as consumer demand for the vehicles remains low, dealerships have expressed serious concerns, and automakers have had to cut production and revamp production of gas vehicles."

That's understatement

I'd consider it understatement to say "The New York Times reported that the move was a “concession to automakers and labor unions” from the administration as it was forcing “limits on tailpipe emissions” to force Americans to switch from gas-powered cars to more expensive electric vehicles, which often have performance issues in adverse weather conditions. The serious lack of charging stations, and the time it takes to recharge electric vehicles, are among other top complaints from consumers."

Practicality matters

Practicality and process matter. Cold weather drains EV batteries in a hurry. A trip across South Dakota, North Dakota or Montana might take a week. A trip from International Falls, MN, to Duluth, MN, might take a day+. Considering the fact that they're just in the planning stages of installing charging stations on I-90 (South Dakota), I-94 (North Dakota) and in Minnesota, this initiative was never ready for primetime.

This is a fancy way of saying 'people don't want EVs':

This is additional proof that Joe Biden is a socialist. The markets set prices and demand. That's how free market capitalism functions. Socialism fails because the social planners essentially say 'You must do this, you can't do that.' Adam Smith's Invisible Hand whips Joe Biden's socialism again. It always will.

    Here is the crazy thing: replace 100% of the cars on the road with electric vehicles, and the total effect on the climate will be ZERO! Nevermind all the myriad other undesirable (and largely impossible) side effects, these mandates do not even begin to solve the problem for which they are mandated!

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
