Interesting Factoid
25% of all U.S. auto dealers … 3,900 of them … have signed a letter to President Biden pleading that our government back off of its electric vehicle mandates … because EVs from our traditional auto manufacturers are not selling and are piling up on their lots. Some dealers are even refusing delivery of new EVs.

Linguini Spines
Rush Limbaugh used to have a great expression for how Lefties were prone to talk big but act small. He said that they had “linguine spines.”
Well, pilgrim, can we use this apt analogy to describe Joey Mumbles’ attitude toward Iran’s fulminating all the death and destruction in the Middle East … using its proxies to attack U.S. troops in Syria and Iraq, sending drones to attack U.S. warships, funding Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis in Yemen and amassing enough enriched uranium to build several nuclear weapons.
And what is our response? Why … reducing Trump-imposed “maximum” sanctions and giving Iran tens of billions of dollars.
Rush was right!

Ahead of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s four days in exile, several staff researchers sent the board of directors a letter warning of a powerful artificial intelligence discovery that they said could threaten humanity, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Internet Metrics Fraud
Internet companies are wildly exaggerating their online metrics. — Fletcher
Pilgrim, it would seem to me that the technology companies … Facebook, Google, TickTok, X, Instagram, etc. … have enough smart engineers that they could provide accurate, unbiased internet metrics … followers, hits, click-throughs, likes, etc. … instead of obvious fudging of these statistics to manipulate their audiences and advertisers.
Would the SEC tolerate CVS exaggerating the number of its store by a factor of ten? No! Congress needs to learn what’s going on! … and stop these internet metrics fraudulent manipulations.

His Doppelgänger
I was asked ar lunch recently to name some things I didn’t like about Trump. I replied his oversized ego and that there is no filter between his brain and his mouth. I might have added he is a bit of a bounder … and tends to embellish the truth.
But this is not the fearsome doppelgänger that the Trump haters see. To them, he is Mussolini … someone who will start World War III for entertainment. To them, he is guilty of all the current trumped-up charges against him … a lying, cheating, raping, stealing insurrectionist!
He, if judging by his first term, was none of these … just a put-upon patriot … who really did put his country first.
In a way, these sham trials are a manifestation of this Trump bugbear that haunts the Left. They are trying to memorize their hatred with convictions … however unjust.
Why did the twisting of Dem thinking occur? Perhaps, Trump helped cultivate it himself during his eleven years on “The Apprentice?” An image that served him well when dealing with our foreign adversaries … but now stokes the paranoia in the Deep State.
STAND UP TO TRUMP ANKLE BITERS!
