“Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm set out on a four-day trip this summer. The trip was to prove the worth of the Biden administration’s spending a ton on pushing and “investing” in electric vehicles.
NPR’s Camila Domonoske went along on the trip and revealed, “Electric cars have a road trip problem, even for the secretary of energy.”
What happened on the trip says everything about the Biden team’s delusion and entitlement. The trip revealed immediately that the system is not ready to handle even what they have to deal with now, much less with the number of vehicles that you would have to cope with with the complete switchover that they want.
—
“But between stops, Granholm’s entourage at times had to grapple with the limitations of the present. Like when her caravan of EVs — including a luxury Cadillac Lyriq, a hefty Ford F-150 and an affordable Bolt electric utility vehicle — was planning to fast-charge in Grovetown, a suburb of Augusta, Georgia.
Her advance team realized there weren’t going to be enough plugs to go around. One of the station’s four chargers was broken, and others were occupied. So an Energy Department staffer tried parking a nonelectric vehicle by one of those working chargers to reserve a spot for the approaching secretary of energy.
That did not go down well: a regular gas-powered car blocking the only free spot for a charger?
In fact, a family that was boxed out — on a sweltering day, with a baby in the vehicle — was so upset they decided to get the authorities involved: They called the police.”
—
Doesn’t that say it all? There weren’t enough chargers to deal with the demand, and they tried to block out other people to reserve a spot for Granholm at the faster charger. That screams entitlement and thinking they get to do that because of their power. When you’re stealing a spot from a family with a baby, you just might be pretty scummy. They’re denying a family the very service they claim to be helping to provide because the family was in the way of their PR stunt. And the Biden team did it with a vehicle that wasn’t even electric.
Good for the family who wasn’t taking that nonsense and called the police on them. The police couldn’t do much, however, because it’s not illegal to do what the Secretary’s team did. But realizing they had a potential PR nightmare on their hands, they “scrambled to smooth over the situation, including sending other vehicles to slower chargers, until both the frustrated family and the secretary had room to charge.”
Notice — no Teslas. Why, when that’s the most common electric vehicle that Americans drive? Do they not want to feature anything related to Elon Musk? We’ve already seen how they’re targeting Musk with multiple government actions and investigations after his takeover of Twitter (now X). ”
The hilarious NPR article covers in detail how Tesla has much better chargers than anyone.

Real Clear Politics provides a transcript:
—
ANA NAVARRO: There are four countries that are providing — where most of these migrants are coming from, one is Venezuela where there is a communist dictator Maduro, another is Nicaragua where there is a communist dictator, Ortega, another is Cuba where there is a communist dictatorship of over 60 years, and another is Haiti where it is complete bedlam, violence, danger, war.
And so this is not — this is not a federal problem. This is not an American problem. This is a regional problem. This is a world problem and I think it takes everybody sitting together, not being performative.
What is being performative? Sending busloads of migrants to Kamala Harris’s house or Martha’s Vineyard or what Greg Abbott just did putting those drowning devices inside the Rio Grande, you know, to cause harm which the federal courts said were illegal and he needs to get rid of. That’s performative.
We need legislation. We need cooperation with other countries and cooperation with refugee resettlement programs worldwide so not everybody comes to the United States.
I do think the federal government is doing many things. They have prioritized asylum seekers. They’ve instituted a parole program specifically for those four countries, but, frankly, you know, I think we need to find — and we’ve dealt with this before. I lived in Miami. I was a migrant, an immigrant in Miami in the ’80s. You’ll remember when we had the Mariel boat lift. 125,000 Cubans came in a matter of six months. It puts tremendous stress on a city, on a community, on the social services. They need to be resettled elsewhere.
SARA HAINES: They need to spread out. This is a massive country!
“New York City Mayor Eric Adams released a video this weekend in which he speaks directly to New Yorkers about the reality they are facing due to the illegal immigrant crisis.
Adams makes it very clear that unless the federal government or the state come forward with more money, the city is going to have to cut services and that this will be felt by everyone.
The New York Post reported:”
—
Adams warns cuts of up to 15% coming to every NYC agency over migrant crisis is ‘detrimental’
Mayor Adams warned Saturday that all New York City agencies may have to slash up to 15% from their budgets by the spring in response to the ever-rocketing costs of the migrant crisis.
All departments were told they will need to slash 5% from their budget by November, amounting to a several billion dollar haircut from the city-funded portion of Adams’ $107 billion spending plan.
But if the city doesn’t get enough financial aid from the Biden administration or state legislators by early next year, Adams warned additional 5% cuts could come in both January and April.
“The simple truth is that longtime New Yorkers and asylum seekers will feel these potential cuts and they will hurt,” the mayor said in a video released on YouTube announcing the plan.
“New Yorkers are angry and frustrated, and they are right to be. I am too.”
“I want to be clear: these tough decisions are a direct result of inaction in Washington and in Albany,” added Adams.
“But the die is not yet cast, and we can still avoid these cuts if Washington and Albany do their part by paying their fair share, and coming up with a decompression strategy that reduces the pressure on New York City, so we are not forced to manage this crisis almost entirely on our own. “

Weird how he never mentions Biden, the man responsible for it.
“At Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson has come up with a solution to the crisis of illegal immigrants swamping his city and running his taxpayers off their own streets, out of their own neighborhood parks and police stations, schools and hospitals:
Mayor Johnson decided to cover them up with screens. Hiding them behind a wall of screens at the airport, tens of thousands of them where they sleep hidden from view on the airport floor, some reportedly on blankets some on garbage.
Snacking, lounging, waiting for the mayor and his Democrats to feed and house them—which means taxpayers will pay more to feed and house them, educate them and provide healthcare. And when they are not attacking and assaulting Chicago Police officers, provide for the public safety.
And the clear message to loyal black Democrat voters who were once courted and feted and fawned over by national Democrats like President Joe Biden? The message to them is this:
Get to the back of the bus. Or get off the bus. There are some new kids in town and you’re in the way.
This is the true source of tension between black urbanites who have been here for decades and the new Latino immigrants who just surged across the boarder and have overwhelmed the so called Northern “sanctuary cities” like Chicago, New York, and wherever else the left bathed itself in self-righteousness.
New York Mayor Eric Adams isn’t about to cover his massive immigration problem with a doily.
Instead he used his mouth to distract New Yorkers from what’s in front of their eyes.
“Let me tell you something New Yorkers, never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to — I don’t see an ending to this,” the mayor said on Wednesday night in his opening remarks at a town hall-style meeting in Manhattan . “This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy it.”
He rambled on, dissembling and blaming all the Republicans he could blame from former President Donald Trump on down. But it doesn’t change the reality:
What you are seeing in New York, Chicago and other towns suffering from the tidal wave of immigrants demanding to be fed, housed, and clothed is no accident. It is the direct policy decision of President Joseph Biden and other Obama Democrats, to abandon former President Trump’s “ Stay In Mexico” policy and welcome illegal immigrants to “storm the border.”
Biden outlined his “surge the border” policy in a 2019 Democrat presidential debate and question by reporter Jorge Ramos. Once elected Biden actually did it.
Ramos: “Are you prepared to say tonight that you and President (Barack) Obama made a mistake (on deportations)? Why should Latinos trust you?”
Biden answered by criticizing Donald Trump’s handling of migrants at the border, defending Obama’s, and adding:
“I would in fact make sure that there is, that we immediately surge to the border — all those people are seeking asylum. They deserve to be heard,” Biden said. “That’s who we are. We’re a nation that says, ‘If you want to flee and you’re fleeing oppression, you should come.’””
“Flee they did. Surge they did. And come they did, surging the border by the millions because Biden, who later became president called them to surge our border. There were no carrots and sticks with the Democrats on the immigration issue. There were no sticks, it was all candy.”
—-
“The Chinese fentanyl came in with them. The Mexican drug cartels made fortunes on trafficking humans and fentanyl. More than 100,000 young Americans died last year alone. But by then there was no border.
The Democrats had to finesse the media and black Democrats into avoiding the issue. It wasn’t too difficult to finesse the media, they had already signed on. The corporate legacy media are on the Democrat team. But finessing black Democrats was another matter entirely.
In 2018, I wrote a column about black Chicago feeling somewhat jilted by the “Zoro Act” being put on by Mayor Rahm Emanuel.
Rahm was unable to recover his political footing after it was revealed that he withheld the controversial video of the police killing of Laquan McDonald until well after his re-election. Black Chicago never forgave him for it. And he tried to rise again seeking Hispanic votes as “Mayor Zoro.”
He came up with a classic: A city ID card available to citizens and noncitizens alike, offering an easier access to city services and discounts to some sporting and cultural events. The whole thing failed miserably. Black voters saw through it immediately, and said they were sick and tired of being pushed to the back of the bus by Democrat operatives. It was a thread that black Chicago broadcasters Maze Jackson and Charles Thomas used to criticize Rahm. But it was a thread that the rest of the corporate media virtually ignored.
Black voters weren’t fooled though, and the same thing is happening now, as black residents of Chicago and New York and other cities are pushed to the back of the bus to let the Democrats administer to the new Hispanic immigrants.
They don’t like what they’re seeing in their neighborhoods as their substandard public government schools get worse, as city services decrease and as the middle class told countless times they don’t belong flee the cities and take with them the means to pay for those services.”

Enjoy! Biden told you he would do this, but you voted for him anyway. You all did this, now reap what you’ve sown.
“Assembly Bill 957, brought forward by Assembly Member Lori Wilson and coauthored by Senator Scott Wiener, instructs courts to take into consideration whether or not a parent agrees with a child’s subjective view of their gender identity when awarding custody.
At its essence, the bill tells judges that when making decisions about what is in the ‘best interests’ of a child in custody disputes, the court will take into account whether parents have shown support for and ‘affirmation’ of their child’s gender identity and expression.
It was passed in the California Senate on September 6th and passed in the Assembly on September 8th.
The radical bill has drawn fire from critics who accused the California government of encroaching on parental rights. Should it be enacted, parents risk losing custody of their children if they do not entirely support their child’s subjective gender identity.
Another cause for concern is the lack of clarity within the bill. Given the absence of a precise definition for ‘affirmation,’ it raises the question of whether courts might be left to render arbitrary decisions influenced by individual judges’ biases or personal beliefs.
California Democrat Lori Wilson defended the bill on Friday.”
BREAKING: The California Assembly just voted in favor of AB 957 which will require judges take into account whether a parent "affirms" a child's "gender identity or gender expression" in determining custody.
The Senate already approved it so it's heading to Gavin Newsom's desk.
“A Republican lawmaker who objected to the bill was actually cut off while he laid out studies that disagree with arguments being made by the California Democrats.
State assemblymember James Gallagher was discussing a study on detransitioning young persons when his microphone was suddenly cut off.
“I want to get this out there,” Gallagher said. “This is important that we know what the science and the information is saying. Even a recent follow-up study in 2021 found that of about 139 participants, only 17 persisted in their gender identity. This was looking at young boys, a hundred twenty-two, 87% went back to their biological sex. You can’t have a…”
Gallagher was told his microphone was cut off due to a “time limit on speeches.”
“He was making the point that social transition might not always be the best solution for kids struggling with gender identity and that most identify with their biological sex as they became adults,” Reopen California Schools Founder Jonathan Zachreson said about the incident.”

“U.S. drug regulators on Sept. 11 authorized new COVID-19 vaccines to try to counter the poor effectiveness the current slate provide.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared shots from Moderna and Pfizer that will be available to Americans as young as 6 months of age later this month.
“Vaccination remains critical to public health and continued protection against serious consequences of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death,” Dr. Peter Marks, a top FDA official, said in a statement. “We very much encourage those who are eligible to consider getting vaccinated.”
The FDA approved the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines for people aged 12 and older. Regulators granted emergency authorization for the shots for people aged 6 months to 11 years of age.
There was no mention of Novavax, whose vaccine is also available in the United States.
The shots target XBB.1.5, a subvariant of the Omicron virus variant. That subvariant has already largely been displaced by newer strains, including EG.5, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The authorizations came despite a dearth of data from clinical trials.
Some experts have criticized U.S. authorities for clearing the new shots without strong data. “There’s essentially no data,” Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo told a recent press conference. “Not only that, but there are a lot of red flags.”
He pointed to studies finding effectiveness of the vaccines turn negative over time.
Other papers have found the vaccines cause cardiac problems like heart inflammation, the doctor noted.
“It’s truly irresponsible for FDA, CDC, and others to be championing something … when we don’t know the implications of it,” he said.”

“Assembly Bill 957, brought forward by Assembly Member Lori Wilson and coauthored by Senator Scott Wiener, instructs courts to take into consideration whether or not a parent agrees with a child’s subjective view of their gender identity when awarding custody.
At its essence, the bill tells judges that when making decisions about what is in the ‘best interests’ of a child in custody disputes, the court will take into account whether parents have shown support for and ‘affirmation’ of their child’s gender identity and expression.
It was passed in the California Senate on September 6th and passed in the Assembly on September 8th.
The radical bill has drawn fire from critics who accused the California government of encroaching on parental rights. Should it be enacted, parents risk losing custody of their children if they do not entirely support their child’s subjective gender identity.
Another cause for concern is the lack of clarity within the bill. Given the absence of a precise definition for ‘affirmation,’ it raises the question of whether courts might be left to render arbitrary decisions influenced by individual judges’ biases or personal beliefs.
California Democrat Lori Wilson defended the bill on Friday.”

“A Republican lawmaker who objected to the bill was actually cut off while he laid out studies that disagree with arguments being made by the California Democrats.
State assemblymember James Gallagher was discussing a study on detransitioning young persons when his microphone was suddenly cut off.
“I want to get this out there,” Gallagher said. “This is important that we know what the science and the information is saying. Even a recent follow-up study in 2021 found that of about 139 participants, only 17 persisted in their gender identity. This was looking at young boys, a hundred twenty-two, 87% went back to their biological sex. You can’t have a…”
Gallagher was told his microphone was cut off due to a “time limit on speeches.”
“He was making the point that social transition might not always be the best solution for kids struggling with gender identity and that most identify with their biological sex as they became adults,” Reopen California Schools Founder Jonathan Zachreson said about the incident.”

“U.S. drug regulators on Sept. 11 authorized new COVID-19 vaccines to try to counter the poor effectiveness the current slate provide.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared shots from Moderna and Pfizer that will be available to Americans as young as 6 months of age later this month.
“Vaccination remains critical to public health and continued protection against serious consequences of COVID-19, including hospitalization and death,” Dr. Peter Marks, a top FDA official, said in a statement. “We very much encourage those who are eligible to consider getting vaccinated.”
The FDA approved the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines for people aged 12 and older. Regulators granted emergency authorization for the shots for people aged 6 months to 11 years of age.
There was no mention of Novavax, whose vaccine is also available in the United States.
The shots target XBB.1.5, a subvariant of the Omicron virus variant. That subvariant has already largely been displaced by newer strains, including EG.5, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The authorizations came despite a dearth of data from clinical trials.
Some experts have criticized U.S. authorities for clearing the new shots without strong data. “There’s essentially no data,” Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo told a recent press conference. “Not only that, but there are a lot of red flags.”
He pointed to studies finding effectiveness of the vaccines turn negative over time.
Other papers have found the vaccines cause cardiac problems like heart inflammation, the doctor noted.
“It’s truly irresponsible for FDA, CDC, and others to be championing something … when we don’t know the implications of it,” he said.”
