THE EV BUBBLE CONTINUES TO DEFLATE: Honda Just Lost Billions on EVs They Can’t Sell. “What’s maybe most impressive about losing nearly [dr_evil_voice] SIXTEEN BILLION DOLLARS [/dr_evil_voice] on EVs is that Honda didn’t even try that hard, at least not compared to certain other automakers I could name — and am about to.”

KEEP IT UP:

FRAUD ALL THE WAY DOWN: Millions may be falsely enrolled in ObamaCare.

In January, early ACA enrollment figures indicated a drop following four consecutive years of record growth, going from 23.6 million enrollees to 22.8 million from the same time last year. Signs-ups were expected to fall after Republicans let enhanced premium tax subsidies expire at the end of 2025.

In an interview NBC News, Oz said some people on ACA plans should not be enrolled and expects the rate of enrollment will continue to fall to somewhere around 19 million.

“In fact, the fact that we have 23 million makes me think we have too many participants in the ACA,” Oz told the outlet. “It’s too high of a number.”

Oz said he believes some signs-ups are the result of fraud or mistakes.
“Either their income would not qualify them, they made too much or made too little, or they didn’t file the forms, maybe on purpose, or they were duplicately enrolled in Medicaid or more likely other states’ ACAs,” he added. “These are major concerns for us.”

Monopoly vendors lose their monopolies (to the taxpayer’s benefit), go squealing to the press, and the press is happy to play along.

CHANGE: Kansas Revokes Drivers’ Licenses of 1,700 Trans-Identifying Individuals. “Hundreds of people who claim to be transgender have already received letters from the state telling them their driver’s licenses are ‘invalid immediately,’ according to the report. The letters also inform them they “may be subject to additional penalties” if they continue to drive unless they receive a new one with their birth sex from the Kansas Division of Vehicles and surrender the old license.”

NARRATIVES DON’T ESTABLISH THEMSELVES, YOU KNOW:

If you think of the media as a conspiracy organized to keep the public ignorant, angry, and voting Democrat, then you’ve got it.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Never Forget How Quickly Everything Can Go ‘Full Spanberger.’ “Virginia law doesn’t allow governors to serve consecutive turns, so Winsome Earle-Seares ran to replace her boss. She was easily defeated by Democrat Abigail Spanberger. Worse yet, Virginia elected an attorney general who had openly fantasized about killing Republicans. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call a whiplash turnaround.”

PUNCH BACK TWICE AS HARD: First Grader’s ‘Any Life’ Message Sparks Major First Amendment Ruling.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of an elementary school student’s First Amendment rights after she was punished for adding the words “any life” to a picture of “Black Lives Matter.”

The student, with the initials B.B., said she added the message while in first grade in 2021, inspired by a lesson on Martin Luther King Jr. She shared the drawing with a friend.

The school principal told her the drawing was inappropriate and punished her, according to the Pacific Legal Foundation, which represented the family in the case. The principal forced her to apologize, banned her from giving drawings to classmates, and excluded her from recess for two weeks.

The parents, who didn’t find out about the punishment until a year later, sued the Capistrano Unified School District in San Juan Capistrano, California.

Good lord.

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: The Politicking of Barack Obama. “Now, I would say in another footnote, all of these speeches at these funerals that Obama presents are basically about himself. He always relates anecdotes, not about necessarily just about the politician in question, but about his interaction with him.”

IT’S MY THURSDAY ESSAY FOR VIP SUBSCRIBERS: Nationalism Sucks. Britain Might Need Some Anyway. “Like so many other bad ideas — state terror, postmodernism, the 1956 Renault Dauphine — modern nationalism was born in France. I chose nationalism for this week’s essay in part because when patriotism fails, nationalism tends to rear its ugly head.”
