THIS IS CNN: CNN Gets a Shock When They Venture out of Their Bubble and Talk to the American People.

CNN doesn’t seem to understand what the American people think.

They showed that again during a segment featuring John King talking with Americans in Iowa. The description from King shows just how clueless CNN is about the American people and what the support for former President Donald Trump is about.

King acknowledges the people don’t like CNN and that there’s “reverence for Ronald Reagan.” But then he paints them all as though they believe what they believe because they are somehow caught in the thrall of Trump.

“Reagan’s optimism, replaced by Trump’s grievances.” One guy says we have to find a way to take care of ourselves. King’s reaction? “Reagan’s disdain of big government replaced by Trump’s distrust of just about everything.” How dare they think that the prosecutions of Trump are politically motivated just because they’ve seen how everything has rolled out since the Russia collusion hoax? For shame, you silly cultists! The capper that shows how delusional these folks are? Not one hand goes up when he asks if they “support Ukraine in the fight against Putin.”

Listening to Republican voters who are skeptical of support for Ukraine is “like watching the open of an old Tucker Carlson show,” King said.

He said some on the left want to call them “deplorable” — but “there are millions of them!”

“They’re good people…They go to Church! But they believe things that would break our fact-check machine,” King despaired. “And they don’t trust us! They think we’re part of the problem!” Bingo.

Yes, why on earth would people distrust CNN?

IT’S COME TO THIS: California Moves to Confiscate Power from Your Electric Car Battery.

“Lawmakers in Sacramento are helping to move things along,” the report says. “For example, Senate Bill 233 would make bi-directional charging mandatory for all new electric vehicles.”

In fact, San Diego already has “a pilot program with school buses using bi-directional charging that feeds into the grid at the end of the day.”

“It’s a gigantic unharnessed, untapped power source that can be used. Most vehicles are sitting parked, unused 95 percent of the time,” Kurt Johnson of the Climate Center said. He adds that “125 plus vehicle-to-grid projects are going on globally.”

This does not create even one extra kilowatt of power.

All it does is drain your car battery’s power, which is power you are going to have to put right back into that battery. And how exactly will the grid remain stable when millions of electric vehicle owners are all in a panic charging their cars at 6:30 a.m. so they can get to work?

Worse still for electric vehicle owners, recharging your battery is what kills your battery, and once your battery is dead, it’s cheaper to buy a whole new car than to replace it.

California has long been a Potemkin energy state, but in the past, that meant getting electricity from other states to keep the lights on. Now California is looking to both make electric cars the only game in town – and to punish drivers for buying them.

It’s like these idiots read The Population Bomb and are trying to feed people who were never born in a scarcity that never materialized. Bah.

David Weiss arguably is anything but impartial, as evidenced by his endorsement of the sweetheart plea deal offered Hunter Biden. And Weiss obviously is a government insider, according to Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) and multiple others.
