Tesla has been slapped with a class-action lawsuit. The suit claims the electric car company has misled the public regarding its Autopilot and Full Self-Driving technology. The law firm filing the suit issued a news release on Wednesday stating that many customers paid thousands of dollars for the software believing that it would make their vehicles fully autonomous. Advertisement - story continues below However, “Tesla has yet to produce anything even remotely approaching a fully self-driving car,” said Briggs Matsko, the suit’s named plaintiff, according to Reuters. “Since at least 2016, Tesla has misleadingly and deceptively marketed its supposed autopilot...

by Brian Hayes Inflation has been raging along at a painful 8.3% during August, the Biden administration recently pushed through spending of hundreds of billions of dollars more, leaving American taxpayers wondering if they'll have the money to make it to the end of the year.Now comes news that they're on the hook for another $20 billion a year – all to take care of the illegal aliens Biden has released into the nation.It is Fox News that noted the assessment that comes from the Federation for American Immigration Reform.That organization has calculated that the illegal immigrants who have entered...

Steve Deace recently interviewed Dr. Harvey Risch, Professor Emeritus of Epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health. Dr. Risch’s work has been cited nearly 50,000 times in journals and studies. He is also an MD. Steve Deace asked Dr. Risch what was the biggest lie of the last 29 months of COVID pandemic. Dr. Risch says it was the lies about hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID 19. The FDA hid the evidence that HCQ was effective in the early treatment of the disease. Hundreds of thousands of people died as a result of this lie. The CDC-FDA officials promoted the...

CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that MAGA Republicans who were “unhappy” former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election were dragging down American democracy. Anchor Margaret Brennan asked, “How dangerous is the moment that we are in? Garrett said, “It feels more dangerous, Margaret than any I’ve encountered in covering politics at the national level since 1990. David and I had to write this book, but we wish we didn’t have to. Stating what clearly happened in 2020, it wasn’t a fraudulent election. No crime was committed. That doesn’t mean you...

The left wing website explains that, like the last election, the votes from the 2022 midterm elections may not be counted in hours. No, as in the last election, it may take days or even weeks for election workers to count thousands of votes, due in no small part to pandemic-era mail in voting still being available on a widespread basis in a handful of states..... .. .. Meanwhile, Joe Biden recently appeared to admit to the existence of widespread voter fraud. He promised voters in a speech that he would introduce “election reform” to make sure “no one has...

Critics roasted President Biden after the commander-in-chief declared the Chinese coronavirus pandemic “over,” contending that, if it is true, then emergency powers should be “voided” and all vaccine mandates should be lifted moving forward. During an interview with 60 Minutes on Sunday, Biden stated that the “pandemic is over.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said on Sunday he is requesting “at least $12 billion” in aid for Ukraine in a stop-gap spending bill. Schumer said during a press conference on Sunday, “Ukraine has made significant advances against Russia in the war, the vicious war that Putin has waged against the Ukrainian people.”

As Leah Barkoukis reported this morning, President Joe Biden's declaration the COVID-19 "pandemic is over" during an interview with 60 Minutes on Sunday is causing all kinds of headaches for his administration.

"We responded aggressively to the pandemic to minimize the economic impact of the harm...

A new study conducted by public health researchers at the University of North Carolina and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services uncovered new information on the efficacy of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine in young people age 5 to 11. The research, funded in part by a grant from the National Institutes of Health, found that against the omicron variant of COVID-19, children in the study group ended up seeing negative — yes, negative — effectiveness some 20 weeks after being vaccinated after peaking between 60 and 70 percent effectiveness. The large cohort study tracked a 6-month window of...

Joe Biden has now officially taken his overcompensation for being an old white guy to the next level by handing out the first federal grants to dismantle our nation’s racist highways. That is not a typo. Rather than devoting federal resources to improving our national infrastructure, Biden is wasting millions to address the problem of “racist roads.” What makes a road racist? I’m just the messenger here, but according to MSNBC, so-called “racist roads” being targeted by Biden were “designed to facilitate white flight and deprive black communities of housing and commercial opportunities.” Fellow white dude Pete Buttigieg, who occasionally...

A bogus motion claiming to be from the U.S. Treasury appeared in the court docket for the Justice Department’s investigation of records seized from Mar-a-Lago. The motion was riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. The bogus document claimed the Treasury had sensitive documents related to the FBI’s raid on Trump’s Florida home and told CNN to keep “leaked tax records.” The bogus document claimed the Treasury had sensitive documents related to the FBI’s raid on Trump’s Florida home and told CNN to keep “leaked tax records.”“The U.S. Department of Treasury through the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Marshals...

Most Democrats believe that there are “tens of millions” of “dangerous MAGA Republicans,” a Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll released in September found. The survey followed President Biden’s angry speech in which he demonized millions of Americans, deeming “MAGA Republicans” a great threat to the very “foundations of our republic.” The poll asked voters, “Do you think there are tens of millions of dangerous MAGA Republicans backing violence and trying to overthrow the constitution or is that a gross exaggeration and distortion?” While a majority across the board, 54 percent, said that characterization is a “gross exaggeration,” 46 percent believe that there...

While characterizing himself as "the most moderate of the moderates in Congress," Rep Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) urged voters to elect him to the state's open US Senate seat "so I can confront and kill the extremist Republican MAGA movement that is threatening our democracy." J.D. Vance, the Republican candidate for the seat, called Ryan's rhetoric "incendiary. The majority of Ohio's voters cast their ballots for Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020. How is that an attack on democracy? I doubt that Ryan's vow to kill a political movement he disagrees with will be seen as 'moderate' be most voters....

The operator of Germany's Isar 2 nuclear power plant has informed the government of a leak at the site, the Environment Ministry announced on Monday. E.ON, one of Europe's largest energy network operators, has informed the federal government — as per German law — of the leak at the Isar 2 plant in Bavaria. The site had been planned to go offline at the end of the year under the country's plan to phase out nuclear power. Though the damage to the reactor poses no threat to public safety, it does come at a time when the German government is...

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy vowed there would be no let-up in Ukraine's fight to regain its territory as Kyiv said its troops had crossed a major river, paving the way for an assault on Russia's occupation forces in the eastern Donbas region. Reflecting the dramatic change in momentum since Ukrainian forces routed Russian troops earlier this month in the northeast, U.S. President Joe Biden offered his strongest prediction so far that the Ukraine would win the war. (snip) Crossing the Oskil River is another important milestone in Ukraine's counter-offensive in the northeastern Kharkiv region. The river flows south into the Siversky...

The Respect for Marriage Act is a more permissive law than the precedent set by Obergefell. It wouldn’t require states to license same-sex marriages, which Obergefell does. It would mandate they recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. The Respect for Marriage Act also doesn’t explicitly regulate businesses, which could help quell concern from Republicans concerned about religious liberties, experts told Grid.

A Russian missile struck close to a nuclear power plant Monday in southern Ukraine without damaging the three reactors but hit other industrial equipment in what Ukrainian authorities denounced as an act of “nuclear terrorism.” The missile made impact within 300 meters (328 yards) of the reactors at the South Ukraine Nuclear Power Plant, blasting a crater 2 meters (6 1/2 feet) deep and 4 meters (13 feet) across, according to Ukrainian nuclear operator Energoatom. The reactors were operating normally and no staff members were injured, the agency said. But the proximity of the strike renewed fears the nearly 7-month-long...

A federal program called Head Start that serves hundreds of thousands of young children will soon stop requiring masks. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families, which runs the program, announced on Sept. 16 that it is planning to publish a rule that will rescind its mask mandate. “This will align Head Start program masking requirements more closely with the updated Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance,” the administration said in an announcement. The change will happen “in the near future,” according to the administration. Officials have declined to give an exact...
