So waiting on an Iranian nuke to hit the US is would reduce his apprehension?

Fauci can't be grilled enough. He's one conceited, self-serving SOB!!

Indeed. We're talking about the guy who had a life-size self-portrait and other images of himself in his office.

GM and Ford are talking less and less about EVs

https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/31/gm-and-ford-are-talking-less-and-less-about-evs/

ust a few short years ago, General Motors and Ford were all in on electric vehicles, spending billions of dollars on those efforts. Now the two biggest American automakers are hardly talking about EVs with their investors.

TechCrunch teamed up with Hudson Labs, a New York-based financial research firm, to analyze the last seven years of GM and Ford quarterly earnings calls and found that both companies are talking about EVs at a lower rate than they did before the pandemic.

This shouldn’t shock anyone who’s followed the news over the last two years. Both companies have altered, delayed, or outright abandoned plans for new EV models, prompting layoffs and scaled-back factory plans. And while GM and Ford still sell EVs and have new models in their product pipelines, their collective focus has shifted, and it shows in the data.
...
After Trump regained office, he slashed environmental regulations that incentivized zero-emissions vehicles, and his party tore up the $7,500 federal tax credit for new EVs. At the same time, GM’s talk of EVs dropped significantly, from 82 mentions on the second-quarter call in 2025, to just 21 on its most recent call covering Q2 2026.

Mandates dropped, subsidies dropped - Federally, at least - and consumer acceptance declining.

Obama-Appointed Judge Defies SCOTUS, Now Faces Impeachment

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/08/02/obama-appointed-judge-defies-scotus-now-faces-impeachment-n4955718

An Obama-appointed federal judge just decided the Supreme Court's rulings are more like suggestions, and Republicans in Congress are done pretending she has the authority to make that call.

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs issued an order on Friday blocking the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for Somali nationals. It was a brazen display of judicial activism, and it took Republicans about a weekend to respond.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) announced he will file articles of impeachment against Burroughs on Monday, accusing her of trampling both the Constitution and a Supreme Court ruling that should have ended this fight already.

In a 6-3 decision in June, the justices held that the TPS statute bars federal courts from second-guessing the Department of Homeland Security's calls on designating, extending, or terminating the program. That ruling reversed lower courts and cleared the way for the Trump administration to end TPS protections for Syrian and Haitian nationals while any remaining constitutional claims get sorted out.

To be blunt, if the Rs go through with this, it will all but certainly be an empty symbol. The Senate won't remove her, by a (almost?) party-line vote. Trump needs to demand recusal or change-of venue for every case that comes before her, based on her demonstrated bias and defiance of a Supreme Court ruling. And make failure of either motion part of the basis of an appeal.

Amnesty Apologizes to J.K. Rowling's Crisis Center for Women

https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/08/01/amnesty-apologizes-to-jk-rowlings-crisis-center-for-women-n3817559

Two weeks ago I wrote about the brewing legal battle taking place between Amnesty International and dozens of groups it had labeled as "anti-rights" in a report it published. One of those organizations targeted by Amnesty was a rape-crisis center for women funded by author J.K Rowling.

Rowling created Beira's Place after learning that the only crisis center for women in her hometown of Edinburgh, Scotland accepted "trans women" as well. Rowling decided this would not do since it meant traumatized women would be forced to share space with men in drag.

Beira's Place was only one of many groups labeled "anti-rights" by Amnesty and quite a few of them sent Amnesty legal letters demanding a quick apology and/or a promise to retain documents in expectation of discovery for a forthcoming lawsuit. Beira's Place joined in with its own letter threatening to sue and Rowling took things up a notch by pointing out that her own JK Rowling Women's Fund would be happy to fund any lawsuits against Amnesty.
...
Amnesty pulled down their "report" within 48 hours and initially made some noises about it not meeting their internal standards.
...
But it wasn't clear from that statement if the report might reappear at some point, perhaps after being revised in some way. There was an expression of regret, but no apology.

Yesterday, Amnesty buckled at the knees and made a full apology for publishing the report in the first place and promised it will never be republished.
...
Does anyone really believe that Amnesty is at a loss for how this was published? I don't believe that at all. I think they were all in on a report which amounted to a UK version of the Southern Poverty Law Center's "Hate Watch Map." Only in this case the threat of multiple lawsuits scared them off.
...
If you read between the lines it sounds like Beira's Place is saying the apology Amnesty offered is a good start but insufficient. Will there be another, more fulsome, apology? We'll have to wait and see.

Erin Reed, who writes a blog exclusively about trans issues, labeled the apology a dark day for trans rights.

AI got coopted by leftists years or decades ago. This now-retracted "report" was was no accident, didn't bypass any "standards". Either the trans-activists didn't research who all they were slandering or they ASSumed that Rowling would be good little Proggie and lay back and take it. Well, she didn't. Similarly, there is not way AI would have retracted the "report" - keep in mind, the "thinkers" who produced it are still in place - or shampologized if Rowling hadn't had such a very public voice and offered to fund slander lawsuits from all slandered shelters, not just her own.

I hope her shelter, Beira, has good security and is in a city whose police who will do their jobs without political or social considerations. Prog-activists don't lose gracefully.

The Muslim invaders from Morocco are now SMASHING THE GRAVES of the people of Cueta and THROWING THE PIECES AT THE CITIZENS OF SPAIN.

Citizens are now FIGHTING BACK against the invaders with anything they can find.

WHERE IS THE SPANISH MILITARY?!!!!!!

What military is even left in Spain?
