IT’S COME TO THIS: ‘Obviously Political’: WaPo Editorial Board Slams Biden’s Move To Halt Natural Gas Terminals.

BIDENOMICS’ FAILURE SEEN IN NEW SURVEY: The latest Issues & Insights/TIPP Poll offers an abundance of new data showing the utter failure of President Joe Biden’s economic policies to persuade voters that they are better off under him than they were under the man who preceded him in the Oval Office, Donald Trump.

“While the U.S. remains a wealthy country compared to others, nearly two-thirds of Americans say they are ‘living ‘paycheck to paycheck these days’ in the latest I&I/TIPP Poll, conducted from Jan. 3-5 from among 1,401 registered voters. The poll has a +/-2.6 percentage point margin of error.

“This shocking result comes as some on Wall Street and many politicians applaud recent data showing solid growth in the fourth quarter, along with a slowing rate of inflation.  What’s equally surprising is that the public’s concern is bipartisan, with 63 percent of Democrats, 67 percent of Republicans, and 62 percent of independents saying they’re just scraping by each payday.”

DIESEL WORKS: Trucker warns over impact of EVs: Failure of technology could be ‘catastrophic.’

During an interview on FOX Business’ “The Big Money Show,” JKC Trucking co-owner Mike Kucharski explained that while he supports the integration of green energy, new EPA regulations are “extremely frustrating” and cautioned that technology could come at a “catastrophic” price.

He warned that the trucking industry is particularly susceptible to the consequences of pushing electric vehicles “too fast with little testing and data.”
“Electric trucks, No. 1, are too expensive, and this technology is being pushed through way, way too fast with little testing and data,” he shared.

“Truckers need proven technology, because if technology fails, the entire supply chain will be dead in the water. Failure is not merely inconvenient, it’s catastrophic. And this is not an option, especially for the food supply chain of America.”

LESSONS FROM UKRAINE [VIP]: Drones Are Great, But… ”

There’s more than one reason that the frontlines in Ukraine are mostly frozen into place like the trenches of the Western Front in the Great War, but perhaps the most stubborn is the fact that neither side controls the air. Neither side is likely to, either, in the foreseeable future.

Yet both Russia and Ukraine have plenty of drones, and weren’t they supposed to be the future of airpower?

Yes and no.

There are actually two issues here, depending on how high in the sky you want to look.
