From what I’ve seen, Walmart was leasing space to other providers like EVAmerica and Charge Point. They were usually located far enough away from the stores parking not to be a factor. I’m guessing someone in corporate decided it would be better to get the charging fees rather than rent. Smart move on their part. No worse than the semi’s or RV’s that have a tendency to take up space.

Walmart announced earlier this year they were placing high speed chargers in many of their lots. It’s an ambitious plan to capitalize on EV owners. Pilot, Flying J already have chargers in many of their stations and a consortium of auto manufacturers have created Ionna, that offers charging with other amenities.

I think the drop in builds is related to government and not the private sector. I own an EV and can drive just about anywhere and can find a charging station.

So let me get this straight…Ford is raising prices on vehicles that they already have a tough time selling and expect people to now buy what they weren’t before.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Looks like Chris wasn’t the only comedian in the Farley family. Can’t wait for Jim to explain this move at the next shareholders meeting.

Is it just possible Bondi, Patel, and now Bongino are just giving SDNY the rope needed to hang itself?

Sure this is just old information and I’m betting the FBI and DOJ Deep Staters thought they put one over on Bondi and the Administration.

Now that it’s apparent someone has apparently defied the Attorney General by withholding records, this may allow a house cleaning of SDNY and the FBI agents that are associated with the investigation. And may open some up for criminal charges or if an attorney, disbarment.

Bondi isn’t a dummy and Kash was the one who revealed Russiagate. I’m hoping this was done to help smoke out those who would work against the Administration.

Time will tell.

Wouldn’t be surprised if being assisted by a NGO in the application process would “automatically” qualify someone for benefits. Think Lois Lerner.

It wasn’t even a federal judge. The order was from a Franklin County judge. Good luck collecting.

Highly unlikely the FCC will pull licenses. CBS will counter with the firing of the Senior Producer, segment producer, and the editor of the Harris interview plus a fine. Since a good chunk of CBS’s O&O’s are major market, and 60 Minutes is a small part of their line-up, hoping for license revocation is like hoping to win the lottery. It’s not going to happen.

Generally,I would agree with you but, the helicopter was operating VFR. I’m going to guess he didn’t ask for “flight following” ( I believe that is the correct term). So when the controller called out the traffic and the helo pilot responded that he had a visual, the controller assumed the helo would resolve the conflict.

It’s been years since I’ve flown and am not current nor would I care to be but flying at night is a whole different animal and the amount of lights on the ground, especially in a major area like DC can make it difficult to pick up objects.

Depending on how the helo hit the CRJ can explain why the CRJ wasn’t seen by the helo. If the CRJ was struck from the rear, the only nav light visible may be the white light in the tail. From a rear quarter, then possibly the rotating beacons, any light illuminating the rudder, and possibly the wing tip nav and strobe.

I’m more concerned the helo was at 400 feet as opposed to to the maximum ceiling in that corridor of 200 feet. Had the controller or the check pilot noticed this, the helo would have passed under the CRJ. Looking at the Lincoln Center video, it looks like the helo was at this altitude for quite awhile.

I’m guessing the controller saw the chopper closing on the path of the AA jet which is why he asked if the chopper had a visual and directed the helicopter to go behind the jet. I’m still thinking the helicopter didn’t see the AA jet because of the ground clutter and thought the departing aircraft was the one the controller was mentioning.

There are some things that haven’t been explained. Why did the controller ask the AA pilots if they could change to 33? It sounds like they were initially set up for the longer runway and there may have been departing traffic that caused the change.

If you look at the one tape of the crash, you can see the helicopter transit left to right for quite a distance. You can also see a departing plane lifting off and what appear to be the landing lights of the impacted plane. If the AA jet had to re-establish itself on the shorter runway, it’s most likely the Blackhawk only saw the rear white light and not the landing lights as I believe the is a 40 degree separation on the runways.

I’d bet when the controller asked if he had the CRJ in sight, the helicopter crew mistook the departing plane for the CRJ.

I hope they do this, but for another reason. Pardoning these clowns strips them of their 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination. Congress can compel Schiff and others to testify and the whole house of cards is exposed.’ Best part is should they refuse, they can then be charged with contempt of Congress and the pardon cannot extend to new criminal activity.

Issuing a pardon is the worst thing Joe can do. Let’s hope he does.

I see what you did here. Nicely done!!!

I am pretty much in the same situation. I worked and paid SS before I took a job where I paid into a state retirement account. I also worked second jobs and paid SS on those. When I retired, I was eligible for full SS benefits but because of my state pension fund, my SS was reduced to less than half of what I was eligible for.

If we can fund illegals and Ukraine, there is no reason to withhold the SS someone earned.

If memory serves, he was on Trump’s short list for the VA in Trump’s first term. I’m sure he will take care of the woke, DEI contingent that is now running the place. I’m hoping a lot of perfumed princes (general officers) decide it’s time to retire.

Question to Joe Scarborough: How many Bronze Stars and Combat Infantry Badges do you have? Can you tell us about your military experience? Probably not, since the only combat he’s seen is his two ex-wives throwing his a$$ out the door.

Gaetz could resign effective immediately which would stop the ethics probe. Since he won the last general, I think he would be seated in the new Congress in January. If they are able to pull off a recess appointment, then no Senate confirmation necessary.

A gutsy move if the stars align, but there’s no loss since he will be seated next Congress.

So if she is taking Trump to task for not “showing up” for a debate on CNN last night, what’s her excuse for not showing up at the Fox debate in September?

How quickly the media drinks the kool-aid.

Dear god help me. I just watched a couple of minutes of Kamala’s intro by the UAW president. He must live in an alternate universe blaming Trump for not acting while the autoworkers were on strike in 2023. Last time I checked, he was a private citizen at the time.

Maybe he should look at the stellar job Harris and Biden have done now that Stellantis and GM are offering buyout programs and positioning for layoffs.

If were a UAW member I’d show this a$$hat the door. He was complicit in destroying the auto industry with the Dems.

I wonder if the person tasked with writing “Fanfare for the First Lady” actually re-worked the F-Troop theme as an inside joke. The themes are eerily similar.

No, Joe was correct. 14 million people voted for him. He just forgot the mention they voted 6-times each.
