Introducing the President of the United States... Yes, you heard right! He just offered up Los Angeles & San Diego for annihilation! Insanity! Approximately 60% of the U.S. Pacific Fleet is based out of the San Diego! California accounts for approximately 15% of the total U.S. economy! Vote blue!

Trump endorses the mass murder of nearly 14 million people as a "small price to pay" for the US to fight Israel's war in Iran. His MAGA cult cheers in the background at the idea of Iran mass murdering millions of US citizens.

Did you hear that global EV sales just beat gas-only cars? It indeed happened. I shouldn't be surprised that this godforsaken backwater burg of country wouldn't be a part of that. Well, it's happening regardless. The rest of the modern world moves forward while we sink into our own dark age.

Norway produces more oil than Venezuela. And yet, between January and August 2026, electric vehicles made up 97.8 percent of all new cars sold in that country. Moving to EVs is often based on intelligence, not need. Which is why it lags in the notoriously short-sighted and stupid United States.
