    To help alleviate range-slashing towing issues, the Colorado Teardrops Boulder trailer packs enough battery power to fully or significantly charge some Tesla models (or whatever EV you choose to tow it with)Colorado Teardrops VIEW 16 IMAGES VIEW GALLERY - 16 IMAGES Colorado may not hold a candle to Germany when it comes to electric camper van innovation, but it is slowly becoming a hotbed for electric camper trailers. Last year, following the Colorado Campworks NS-1 trailer and its all-electric camping package, Colorado Teardrops proposed a small trailer with a battery large enough to charge an electric tow vehicle – it...

  • FBI Shows up on Trump Supporter's Doorstep, and She Wasn't Even at the Capitol on Jan. 6

    If you thought it was bad enough that any Trump supporter near the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, might expect the FBI to come knocking at his door, the situation is a lot worse than you think. And I’m not just talking about the unprecedented raid on Mar-a-Lago. The Biden administration is going far beyond that. According to recent reports, the FBI has been conducting raids on Trump allies, executing search warrants on their homes, and issuing subpoenas to individuals as part of a pressure campaign. But, now it looks like they’re not limiting themselves to Trump allies, but they’re...

    The Return ^ | September 13, 2022
    Elijah exercised the power of prayer. He stood on Mount Carmel and mocked the prophets of Baal, killing them right under the king’s nose. Elijah had ever right to believe that a great spiritual awakening was about to take place. The fire of God had fallen and miracles had been witnessed by multitudes. It had been an unbelievable display of God’s power. What a shock he got. Jezebel was not at all impressed with miracles and power, and she said to Elijah, “By tomorrow at this time, I will kill you just like you killed my priests.” The next time...

    A modernized take on the 1983 Harley-Davidson FXRT that salutes ’80s California counter-culture and is equipped with one hell of an engine. Harley-Davidson’s FXRT, first introduced in 1983, was a red-hot touring motorcycle beloved for its frame design and smooth transmission — and it became synonymous with California counter-culture in the ’80s. Now, with its 40th anniversary right around the corner, the company has introduced a limited-edition low-rider dubbed the “El Diablo.” A modern reinterpretation of the FXRT, the “El Diablo” is hell on wheels, equipped with an FXRT Sport Glide faring shape, triple-split Softail vents and a V-Twin Milwakuue-Eight...

    [dayglored comment] Those of us who have been forced to wait forever as Windows copies some huge file... well here's a way to make the wait more tolerable. Copying a large file from one drive to another, or over a network, can take quite a while, and there’s nothing you can do in that time, but wait. However, an enterprising developer has found a way to make the copy dialog more interesting -- he’s added a fully playable version of the arcade classic Lunar Lander to it. And this is no basic addition -- you can choose your difficulty level...

    On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) defended the White House’s planned celebration of the Inflation Reduction Act’s passage on the same day as the August Consumer Price Index report (CPI) that showed inflation rose from July to August by saying they’ll celebrate that the bill does things “which, over the long term,” will reduce prices. Co-host Sandra Smith asked, “Likely, we’re going to see this White House pressed on what’s the celebration? 8.3% inflation today, 1.4% when President Biden took office. And this is an opportunity for Republicans to remind voters just...

    Inflation rose more than expected in August as rising shelter and food costs offset a drop in gas prices, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday. The consumer price index, which tracks a broad swath of goods and services, increased 0.1% for the month and 8.3% over the past year.

    Days after John Fetterman tried to put questions about his health behind him by agreeing to debate his Republican opponent, it’s apparent that the strategy hasn’t put the issue to rest as he had hoped. The Washington Post’s editorial board sharply criticized Fetterman in an op-ed published Monday, noting that the Pennsylvania Democrat’s recovery from a stroke he suffered in mid-May has been uneven in one of the most critical Senate races in the country this fall. Here’s the key bit: Ad Feedback “Since returning to the campaign trail, Mr. Fetterman has been halting in his performances. He stammers, appears...

    Although the establishment media claimed that inflation fell in August, American households did not get any relief in the grocery store aisles. The price of food at home jumped 0.7 percent compared with the previous month. Over the past 12 months, grocery prices have gone up 13.5 percent. ome of the biggest increases in food include: Ham up 2.5 percent from July and 9.2 percent compared with a year ago. Frankfurters (hot dogs) up 5.3 percent from July and 18.3 percent compared with a year ago. Eggs up 2.9 percent from July and 39.8 percent compared with a year ago....

    The Washington Post reported yesterday that someone woke up Slow Joe: White House alarm rises over Europe as Putin threatens energy supply White House officials are growing increasingly alarmed about Europe’s energy crisis and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s threats to force a bleak winter on the continent. Seeking to punish Russia for the invasion of Ukraine and force a retreat, Western allies have moved to set a cap on what buyers pay for Russian oil. Putin last week said Russia would retaliate by cutting off gas and oil shipments, which could devastate Europe’s economy and hurt the United States by...

    LEE'S SUMMIT, MO — In an effort to escape the wrath of a weaponized federal government, supporters of former president Donald Trump are placing Biden signs in their yards with the hope that it will cause the FBI to pass over their houses. "Of all the different catastrophes plaguing the country these days, we expect these FBI raids to be the worst," said Josh Wears as he hammered the post bearing the Biden sign into his front yard. "If we make it look like we're devoted Biden followers, maybe the regime will have mercy on us and we'll be spared."...

    Come to California, visit our “misty Northern California redwood forests to sun-kissed Southern California beaches,” and get an abortion. California, the Abortion Sanctuary State, has officially created a new website to assist out-of-staters with their abortion travel plans. “As other states outlaw fundamental reproductive health care and criminalize doctors and patients, Governor Gavin Newsom announced the launch of abortion.ca.gov – providing people both inside and outside of California with information about abortions, their legal rights, where to find providers, how to pay for services and financial assistance, ways to locate wellness and emotional support, and more,” Gov.

    Is higher education the highest priority for East Carolina University, or is the institution just pushing a political narrative? On August 19th, ECU held its 2022-23 faculty convocation, and the Martin Center was able to attend via livestream. The speeches and events that transpired were eye-opening and revealed much about the path ECU is encouraging faculty to take. During typical faculty convocations, administrators present necessary (if unexciting) information. Itineraries include the welcoming of new faculty, the presentation of awards, the sharing of syllabus policies, brief lectures from deans, financial and accreditation updates, etc. Any remaining time may be used for...

    Again, it’s difficult to say with a high degree of certainty, but stock investors will likely experience a bumpy ride over the next 6-12 months. The timing is possibly the most uncertain element here. Higher interest rates and a smaller money supply will reduce loan growth and economic activity. No question on that. However, will the Fed go too far and push the economy into recession? Globally, most of the world’s central banks are on a similar path as the U.S. Federal Reserve. For example, Europe, the U.K., and India are all raising interest rates. China, however, is not. Europe...
