Texas needs to close its northern borders. It is about to absorb a caravan of low skills low morals drug addled and deranged gang bangers with no community or family ties who will be their own crime spree and drain on limited public resources.

In a few weeks Abbott will be complaining about the slow and insufficient federal response to this latest emergency.

In all the folderol over Joe Biden wearing a construction hat backwards did anyone consider the stupidity of the UAW endorsing his candidacy?
Talk about backwards
Biden wants to end production of internal combustion cars and replace them with EVs.
Consider how many UAW jobs will be lost as electric cars will be built by non-Union workers!
Even worse Biden is pouring billions of dollars of our tax money into incentives to buy an electric car.
At a time when the EV market is stumbling and the head of Toyota says EVs will never exceed 30 per cent of the global market.

Duh!

Indeed.
Ford reportedly aren't going to be making any more EVs (for now, or not ever)...as sales of them have slowed.
Dealers in America reportedly not interested in accepting EVs as trade-ins on new or used cars...as their resale value is very vague, too many variables, ...the sky-high price of new batteries and insurances for example.

Two coal eating buggy whip lost cause geezers stuck on their calcifying asses moaning and sputtering about how the world will not stop passing them by.

If only Red and Bambu had some of the youthfulness, optimism, and clear sighted know how of President Biden. Then their lives would not be such shambles

LOL
My life is not a shambles.
I'm not living on the street, and cannot ever be doing so...and have enough to eat.
I have a lovely home, lovely wife, and lovely dog...all gifts from above.
There's a lot to be thankful for.

It was my dream.
My dream came true long ago.
I never wanted to climb Everest, or sit by the sea sipping wine on a Greek island.
I detest crowds and lining up for anything...including bumper to bumper traffic.
I established my comfort zone about 1975, when colour TV arrived here.....and don't like it challenged.
Line up around the block to dine at the latest restaurant, enter a club of any kind, buy the latest phone etc.
Never in a million years.

When are you going to get it into your brain that *nobody* wants your electric cars, that they are a croc.
Toyota guy says maximum take up will only ever be 30%.
He employs 5 million people worldwide...making gasoline/diesel powered vehicles.
Who's going to buy an EV that they can *never* sell or trade in, that are basically *worthless* used?
Checked lately how much it costs to insure an EV?
Then there are the battery fires.

Yesterday I watched on YouTube "The Car Care Nut" (America)(been following him since the pandemic began.)
He's a very intelligent, very experienced, Toyota certified mechanic, EV certified as well.
He knows all about EVs and Hybrids.

He was putting a new electric battery in a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid in excellent condition that had done only 137, 000 miles.
He explains very clearly what and why he's doing things, the camera close up all the time.
He's not a tall man, luckily, as he had to dismantle the whole inside of the car from behind the driver's seat including in the trunk, to get the battery out.
Seat, including back, plastic mouldings, screws, bolts, clips...then go around to the trunk and take all the mouldings out of it.
Then remove the plastic battery exhaust pipe. Then the plastic exhaust fan.
Then start removing all the nuts and power source cables from the battery housing/battery.
Finally arrived at the battery.
The new battery arrived in a special reusable crate as mandated by the federal govt.
He removed the battery from the crate and started explaining the workings of the battery
I was exhausted by then, could watch no longer.
Part of my exhaustion was thinking how much it would all cost.
He would have to put the whole thing back together again!

Hard time to be optimistic. Has anyone actually seen a recharging station? Another 4 years with one of those 2. Yikes!

Luee, you live in a failed state where the government is trying to reestablish the confederacy rather than catch up with what good practice was five years ago. Tell your boy to get his thumb out of his ass, give up his childish pretensions, put on his lifted boots and get to work.

Where people do not freak out about being replaced or women taking control of their bodies or that little Johnny might encounter an idea in the library, people can and do have nice things. In the civilized world charging stations are all over the place and are getting better all the time.

Bambi, do you not want people to be able to buy and drive electric cars because at the bottom you just hate freedom in any form? It sure seems like it.

Freedom ..is to be able to choose what type of vehicle to buy, not have Albo and Co tell me.
Same should apply to Americans in America.

Joe has realised that having an EV industry where all the batteries etc are made in China is a very bad idea.

While Americans are beating themselves up over emissions and EVs, China is building two new coal-fired power stations every week.
Using the cheap energy to amass a mighty military.
Using the cheap energy to make cheap vehicles, cheap solar panels and wind turbines and make a fortune selling them worldwide.
