THE E.V. BUBBLE CONTINUES TO DEFLATE: WSJ:. Ford Learns a Brutal EV Lesson: The car maker takes a $19.5 billion write-down on its electric-vehicle business. “Ford has lost $13 billion on its EV business since 2023, with bigger losses expected in years to come. Last year Ford lost about $50,000 for each EV sold. The truth is that the business case for EVs has always rested largely on government subsidies and mandates. Now that this combination of government favoritism and coercion is mostly going away, most car makers have much less reason to make EVs.”
Do tell.

DON’T MESS WITH THE CHOSEN PEOPLE OR GOD’LL GET YOU FOR THAT. First it was “from the river to the sea.” Now Gaza is the river to the sea. Cry harder, Jackon!
GAZA IS FLOODING!

Or, possibly, it’s a lie. Well, most things from Gaza — by which I mean pretty much all things from Gaza — are. Meanwhile — to drive the lesson home — Jehovah has subjected Tehran to a literally killing drought.
OPEN THREAD: Tuesday’s Groovy.
BRITAIN IS IN A CLOSE CONTEST WITH GERMANY AND AUSTRALIA AS TO WHO HAS THE DUMBEST GOVERNING CLASS RIGHT NOW:
They don’t understand the dilemma they created. The immigrants they have let in hate their country and have no interest in fighting for it. And indigenous men of fighting age also hate their government because of the immigrants they have let in.

Air Chief Marshall Sir Richard Knighton told us that our “sons & daughters, will all have to fight & more will know what sacrifice for our nation means”
Having seen what has become of the U.K. would you advise anyone that you know and care for to sign up and fight for the U.K. ?

France, as usual, is losing — but not by much.
UPDATE:
This notion that young British men – specifically the working class ones – are going to sign up to go fight Russia for Ukraine is hilarious. This applies to other countries too, but let’s focus on the Brits. It’s a lesson in how the left skin-suits an institution, demands…

21ST CENTURY WARFARE:
The ever increasing scope of autonomous weapons was illustrated by a Ukrainian underwater drone attack on a Russian Black Sea Kilo class submarine. This is the latest preview of a new way of war which will inevitably beset the West, even in internal security. It's only a matter…

THIS CALLS FOR TRIALS, AND MAYBE HANGINGS:
Holy shit…
The FBI admittedly never had probable cause to raid Mar-a-Lago, but the Biden DOJ essentially told the FBI to create/find some probable cause.
Meaning the Biden White House and Garland weaponized the DOJ/FBI to go after Trump.
Not a surprise, but now confirmed. pic.twitter.com/ueCaTFAw65

PROBABLY MORE THAN ONE, BUT YEAH: Authorities May Be Covering up a Key Detail About the Brown University Shooting. “Social media has been flooded with reports that the gunman yelled ‘Allahu Akbar.’ That’s not a minor detail.”

I’M NOT WORRIED, BECAUSE THERE’S NO PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION THIS YEAR: Mexico confirms first case of so called ‘super flu’ variant.
I MEAN, HE’S NOT WRONG:
Do you want to know why Republicans always lose, even when we're winning?
"We're better than that."
Democrats never think "We're better than that." They think "What can we do to win?"
And then they win, taking advantage of our self-defeating, love of Marquess of Queensberry…
