Who benefits from “woke”?
With Colorado ranked #2 as the most dangerous state in the country, some reasons are glaringly obvious.
The question of who benefits, IMO, are the ultra wealthy like George Soros socialists who want to destroy our culture and freedom coupled with rulers in countries that hate us. They fund the campaigns of the (P)regressives running for office. Not a new or profound observation on my part.
At the moment, six Democrats have announced they will run for the CO 8th Congressional seat. Already I get weekly flyers attacking the Republican incumbent with broad accusations, but no verifiable facts.
Last election public records show over $40,000,000 was spent on this one piss ant seat.
Along the lines of the devil is in the details, several of these will be dependent on receiving “grants” to fund them.
Most of these won’t survive the court process but while that is happening we have less freedom.
How do we make these gun grabbers feel some financial hurt? That is one way to stop them.
The Irish, obstinate beyond
belief
Key lyric, “We’ve fought you for 800 years, and we’ll fight you for 800 more”. More South than North, to be true.
Who knows; perhaps the combination of EU socialism and unrestricted immigration might result in a Unified Ireland where both the North and the South kick out the overbearing tyrants.
Stellentis declares bankruptcy
The first casualty of Trump’s tariffs declare the American Mainstream Maggots (h/t BZ). Tariffs may be part of it but shitty product made it inevitable. How do you ruin brands like Jeep, Dodge, Nissan, Ram, and Chrysler in the USA? Try saving pennies on an HVAC air system actuator, cost around $50, that takes $4,000 in labor charge to replace? The list goes on. Nissan/CVT transmissions. Fiats rebadged as Jeeps and “Trail Rated”.The total brands they own are:
Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge,
DS Automobiles, Fiat, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Ram, and Vauxhall.
Ancient history now, when Henry II checked out and Donald Petersen became Ford President, he instituted, “Quality is Job One”. He got the UAW on board. The design team that brought the next generation Thunderbird in at 600 lbs overweight got fired. Unprecedented in the car biz, Ford went on to make more money in one quarter than the rest of the USA industry combined.
I was selling Fords at the time. The Escort, Tempo, and Taurus were nearly bullet proof, had decent performance, and the trucks were solid. Happy times to be selling Fords.
Both GM and Ford are not far behind Stellentis. GM has a disaster with their 6.2 truck engines falling apart. Ford has their EcoBoost problems and problems with the turbos on the diesel engines failing because of emission blunders. Both have more truck problems with the ten speed automatic transmission they jointly developed.
I can keep my 2002 Ford Taurus going for a long time for less than the first year deprecation on anything new. Bonus: What is more anonymous than a gray Taurus without a single bumper sticker or dealer logo?
Follow the money
Glen Valley Foods, Omaha, NEwas served a search warrant by ICE. Over 100 illegal’s were detained. The owner was recorded claiming all had been E-Verified before they were hired. Who helped all these people get fake IDs and SSN? Odds are, they didn’t do it for free. They need to be found and prosecuted, IMO.
Alberta
Canada politics seem even more convoluted than ours. I have a passing interest but no dog in the fight. Any speculation on what Trump may do at the G-7 Summit 6/15-17 in Alberta? Will he play nice?As always, YMMV
