Obama once was a master at diverting the attention of the nation. Now there is so much chaos going on at once it’s hard to divert attention.
Election cheating also needs cover big time. We see in several states the Dominion machines are still in operation and the big cheat is still doable. Also, the left learned that 10-13% is a better win number than 51-49. So they are cheating big time so no one dares accuse the bogus machines or cheating as the cause.
We also need more tutelage on beating the left at it’s own game such as the early vote.It’s masterful on the left and often times allows more vote buying near the last few days of voting. We need to concentrate on how the left cheats and either do it better or stop it.
Below, Biden offers Obama’s latest diversion, a near banning of gas powered cars. That will never happen. But its a convenient diversion from all the chaos. From bogus law suits on the real president to massive open borders creating a bonanza for left wing criminals funded by the Mexican cartels.

Below a clip of the piece on electric cars replacing gas powere vehicles. Biden Set to Announce an Unprecedented Crackdown on Gas-Powered Vehicles

As America grapples with unprecedented inflation, soaring grocery bills and a deadly school shooting that targeted Christians, President Joe Biden and his administration have opted to focus on gas-powered vehicles.
According to a new report from Reuters, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to enact “sweeping cuts in vehicle emissions pollution that will push automakers towards a big increase in electric vehicle sales.”
That big push for electric vehicle sales, naturally, means a big decrease in gas-powered vehicle sales.
“Environmental groups and some automakers think the proposal will result in at least 50 percent of the U.S. vehicle fleet by 2030 being electric or plug-in hybrids,” the report notes.
Per a separate Bloomberg report, these momentous announcements are expected to be made on Wednesday in Detroit.
According to the two reports, it does appear that these sweeping changes stop just short of a full-on ban of gas-powered vehicles.
While these moves are being made with “green” and environmental concerns at heart, the move still appears to be ruffling feathers — even among those who are onboard with green initiatives.
The Alliance for Automotive Innovation, a trade group that represents nearly all automakers (including heavy-hitters like Ford and Volkswagen) made it clear that the issue wasn’t the move to electric vehicles, the issue was the timing of the move.
“The question isn’t whether it can be done, it’s how fast can it be done,” the alliance told Reuters.
The main concern with the timing of this move, according to the alliance, is that automakers are worried about improving the current fleet of cars — only for those cars to be all but phased out as electric vehicles become more prominent.
“Every dollar invested in internal combustion technology is a dollar not spent on zero carbon technology,” the alliance added.
Bloomberg also notes that automakers have actually been asking Biden for more time to better prepare for a mass shift to electric vehicles, while electric vehicle manufacturers, like Elon Musk’s Tesla, actually want the government to enact even stricter restrictions on gas-powered vehicles.
As it stands, these changes could be sneaking up on Americans far sooner than expected.
Biden’s crackdown on gas-powered vehicles could impact vehicles manufactured for model years 2027 through 2032. That’s just a few years away.
Per Bloomberg, these sweeping changes will focus on governing “tailpipe emissions of carbon dioxide, smog-forming nitrogen oxide and other pollution from vehicles.”
Biden and his administration have long stated their desire to crack down on gas-powered vehicles, but aside from the above stated concerns from automakers, there’s one more rather large group of people that could be concerned: everyday Americans who drive to work.
There are numerous, documented issues with electric vehicles, ranging from the silly to the downright dangerous.
Even attempting to foist these changes on Americans could have an indelibly negative effect on Biden’s chances at re-election in 2024 — should he run again.

The zero carbon alliance is a room full of moonbats. First , If they succeed in actually lowering atmospheric carbon they will starve the entire human race——CO2 being necessary for plants to actually grow.
And battery construction/re-cycling is the dirtiest business on the planet. No way is that part of the regimen going to lower anything related to carbon. I well remember the Exide plant in Huntington Beach closing down mostly because it was just to dirty to hide the residue from the Kalifornicators any more.
Then remember during WW II how the Brits handled the fuel scarcity? They make/use a lot of charcoal so they modified their kilns to capture the carbon monoxide, pressurize it, then used it to run their taxis?
My place is a treefarm. I’ve long said that if the no-carbon geniuses actually lower atmospheric carbon and hurt my trees I will start burning old tires to keep the trees happy. Note that even electric cars will still be wearing out super high carbon rubber tires.
Then remember Bill Lear? He wanted to build a steam powered bus. It was a big step up from Jay Leno’s Stanley Steamer but it would work.
So there are nearly infinite ways to beat the Gummint-money-fueled-subsidized EV crowd and I’ll be working on the problem as need requires. I’ve long been a fan of electric drive lines. They have their place, tho, and it’s not lined up downtown waiting for a charge plug in.
