The C7 Z06 had major overheating problems. The team behind the new LT6 V-8 worked hard to vanquish these issues. Recently, GM hosted an event where engineers from the Chevrolet Corvette and Small Block programs gave a three-plus-hour presentation on the LT6, the engine powering the new C8 Corvette Z06. The most common point of reference throughout was the LT4, the supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 used in the C7 Corvette Z06, and currently found in the Camaro ZL1 and Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. It's a killer engine, though early on, it was plagued with faults. Chevy went fancy with the engine materials,...

This is a bombshell,” said Children’s Health Defense (CHD) president and general counsel Mary Holland. “At least now we know why the FDA and Pfizer wanted to keep this data under wraps for 75 years. These findings should put an immediate end to the Pfizer COVID vaccines. The potential for serious harm is very clear, and those injured by the vaccines are prohibited from suing Pfizer for damages.”….

Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) stated that he believes the Biden administration is trying “to bring Iranian oil back in” with the Iran deal negotiations. McCarthy said, [relevant remarks begin around 2:30] “I just sent a letter to Secretary Blinken about the Iran agreement. What I believe they’re really trying to do — and why don’t we know what’s in it, but we have Russia and China knowing what’s in it — to bring Iranian oil back in. Why would you fund another country that funds terrorism,...

This is the shocking moment a Russian helicopter appears to go down in flames as it is downed in Ukraine. Footage from the frontlines seems to show the aircraft soaring before it is targeted by Ukrainian weapons.

Los Angeles Dist. Atty. George Gascón, the cop-turned-reformer who came to office in 2020 promising to transform the justice system so it “works for everyone,” is fighting for his political life. There’s a movement underway to recall him, and its backers say they’ve already raised $2.7 million. He is opposed by hundreds of rank-and-file prosecutors in his own office, who voted nearly unanimously last week to support his ouster. Even his longtime friend and colleague, former LAPD Chief Charlie Beck, recently rescinded his endorsement. Mayoral candidate Rick Caruso says Gascón’s progressive policies have “put people at risk and made our...

This has been a brutal week for consumers. With the Russia/Ukraine conflict raging and Congress seems determined to not allow for additional oil and gas production, and Biden’s anti-fossil fuel edicts still in place, we are seeing dramatic price increases in wheat (UP 89.5% since January 1, 2021), WTI Crude (UP 143% since January 1, 2021), and food stuffs (UP 55% since January 1, 2021). Bankrate’s 30-year mortgage rate has actually been falling the last several days, which is good for prospective home buyers as the 10-year US Treasury Note yield has been declining. The USD/Russian Ruble cross is skyrocketing...
