Toyota "not" buying into the EV "craze"
Toyota Motor Corp will introduce 10 new battery-powered models and target sales of 1.5 million EVs a year by 2026, aiming for steep growth in a market where it has long been lapped by rivals.

Given Liberty requires as much Jebus as it does actual teaching classes, I wouldn't bee too surprised.

59 minutes ago, SkyDekker said:Funny thing in all of this is, that even with all this supposed liberal bias, NPR is still a much better source for factual reporting than anything with a supposed conservative bias.
There are a fair number of right leaning media outlets, which one of them would you hold up as providing generally correct reporting? Yet many of those networks seem to be financially doing very well.
Which leads me to my opinion, counter to Berliner, that the drop in consumers for NPR is likely more because they are NOT sensationalizing things, than because of diversity and inclusion or not posting Hunter Biden dick pics.
I think there is also a fairly large reduction in the number of people listening to radio - streaming is much better in many cases - especially the audio quality. NPR is hit and miss via streaming services - or those I'm familiar with I suppose.

The US defense industry and military complex is a VERY profitable process.

Unless Israel takes this opportunity to eliminate Iran's nuclear capabilities.

Drones and missiles are in the air headed towards Israel.

It's not a skydiving waiver you consent to, pay attention to the details and refuse as desired.
I refuse ALL of the collections, I've also had to block some on the firewall (windows and hardware device on my network)
VPN's are also a great tool for privacy.

10 hours ago, SkyDekker said:You said they covered Hunter and his laptop. And you said NPR published it was a Russian hoax.
So, show what they published. Find an article or radio transcript where they do what you claim they did.
Show those "facts" you keep claiming you are all about.
He can't.

Apparently you missed the part where you were complaining about NPR employee's political affiliations.
Color me not surprised.

White wingers appear to want to hire based on religious and political party associations.
The America we know is dying, and it's ugly.
Thank you to the Russian Republican Party.

Look, if you can pull your head out of whatever fringe right wing anti-Biden rabbit hole it’s got stuck in you’d see that voting Dem will actually help the Republican Party in the long run.
If you want any chance of a sensible right leaning government in the near to medium term future then you should want to contribute to a complete repudiation of Trumpism and MAGA. Vote for Biden, because there’s really nothing wrong with him and it’ll increase the humiliating losing margin for Trump. Persuade your friends to do the same. Vote for the Dem against any MAGA candidate on the ticket. Vote against anyone who says the 2020 election is as stolen AND any of the spineless dickheads who say there were ‘irregularities’. Write to the RNC and you state Republican organisations to tell them why you’re voting against their anti-democracy candidates.
Maybe then you’ll have a chance at one day being able to vote for a confidante who isn’t a Dem but also doesn’t retweet everything that spews out of Marjorie Taylor Green.
Or vote for the Former President. Rapist. Convicted fraud. Treasonous insurrectionist. Twice impeached. Cheat. Liar. Charity thief. Soon to be convicted felon.

I think personal transfers of weapons should take place at an FFL or the local Cop Shop.
Background checks on every weapon movement of ownership.
Well regulated should actually mean something, and be enforced.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents case in Florida. "Some commentators have described Cannon’s order as 'unusual.' I would use words like wacko, crazy, loony, nutty, ridiculous, and outlandish, and my terms are probably understatements," Bennett Gershman, a Pace University law professor and former New York prosecutor, told Salon.
Rewarded again for his partizan judicial appointments.
Trump’s stock has lost 600 million in market value so far today.
Let the DUMP begin.

I'm suddenly remembering, as a kid, we KNEW if we asked dad or grandad for anything while they were sleeping we were good!
But MOM! Dad said I could!

Lauren Boebert's Son Made Sex Tape With Fellow Suspect: Affidavit
More details:
Clearly NOT the parent's fault for the way the son turned out. Society, Covid, the media, and publicity. All of the things. Maybe Xanax too.
Not like Hunter Biden in any way.
The current environment of an alternate reality is killing my brain.

17 minutes ago, SkyDekker said:* Missouri law has no age restrictions on using firearms or gun possession.
* The state has requirements for minors purchasing firearms, but it does not have a minimum age requirement to possess them.
* Last year, House Republicans voted against an amendment that would have banned minors from openly carrying guns on public land without adult supervision. The bipartisan effort failed.
* Within the past decade, state lawmakers made it easier for adults to carry concealed weapons without requiring a permit.
* Recent state laws have expanded a person’s right to use guns to defend themselves in public and private spaces.
* Missouri has among the highest gun deaths, gun homicide rates and the highest number of household firearm ownership.
Where were all the good guys with guns in that crowd? I thought an armed society was going to be polite.....
More than 800 armed police couldn't stop 2 bad guys with guns.
Yet another way America has become a banana republic.
