The Obiden Regime has been an unmitigated disaster since day one, with an endless list of extreme failures.
Among them, the horrific handling of the COVID-19 pandemic caused immense harm with zero benefits.
This from outkick.com.
The Afghanistan withdrawal was a nightmare. Its incompetent handling of the economy led to runaway inflation and mass layoffs. It has been a catastrophe from start to finish, which is why The Regime’s candidate lost so soundly in the 2024 election.
But with little more than a month to go for the worst administration in U.S. history, those “in charge” are not yet finished making dumb decisions.
The New York Times reported on Saturday The Regime:
[Is] expected in the coming days to grant California and 11 other states permission to ban the sale of new gasoline-powered cars after 2035.

Is this not the most insane, harmful, simply economically suicidal policy decision ever to cross the desk of the Executive office?
Demand for electric cars has collapsed. Even with federal and some state incentives, electric cars have been sitting on dealer lots for months on end. Many are advertised with $15-20,000 discounts. $70-100k sticker price EV’s are being leased out for a few hundred dollars a month.
The market is speaking, telling manufacturers and politicians that it doesn’t want EVs in 2024-2025, and potentially ever.
So, what is The Obiden Regime and a collection of incompetent states doing? Supporting new rules to force people into a mode of transportation they do not want. All because of their short-sighted, misguided, inaccurate view of emissions and “climate change.”
EVs are a nightmare to use unless you live in a house with a built-in charger. And even then, using the public infrastructure is a hellish experience relative to gas stations. There are not enough high-speed chargers to meet demand, and those that do exist are full or out of service a majority of the time.
Tesla does it best, and more manufacturers are moving to Tesla’s charging standard, but even then:
– there is no resale value,
– battery life degrades rapidly over time, and
– sitting at chargers for 45 minutes to an hour every few days is not something many want to put up with.
There may be a time when these issues are figured out, but it certainly has not yet occurred.
There will be nothing but anger and frustration coming if politicians get away with this absurd forced transition.
Fortunately, some politicians, including California Representative Kevin Kiley, have said they will put an end to these car bans as soon as possible.
God speed to the return of Conservatism and the Take Back of our Constitutional Republic.
