The almighty Gavin Newsom has decreed that, 15 years from now, gas-powered cars shall be banned in California. pjmedia.com/news-and-polit…
Ironically, he claims that he must "phase out the internal combustion engine" by law, even though he expects electric cars to be cheaper by then.
Among other things, Newsom said he aimed to fight wildfires and asthma with this future ban. But the fires are the result of bad forest management, and: "Nothing that comes out of a tailpipe causes or triggers asthma," @JunkScience told PJ Media. Huh...
Also, this seems particularly foolish after California's rush to green energy has sparked rolling blackouts. Imagine losing not just A/C and heat, but the ability to drive, because the grid is overworked during the evenings when the sun doesn't shine...
As @HeartlandInst Prez James Taylor warned, electric cars would more heavily tax the grid, leading to "an environmental and ecological catastrophe" as wind and solar infrastructure intrude on "California’s pristine lands." Oops.

How does Corporate America systematically blacklist conservatives? It outsources the dirty work to morally bankrupt smear factory, using a "hate map" that actually inspired violence.😲
Here's how it works, and how conservatives are fighting back.
🧵1/12
Meet Benevity. Nearly 1,000 enterprise companies use this platform for philanthropy.
Benevity manages employees' giving to nonprofits before taxes, companies matching employee contributions, employee volunteering, and corporate grants.
🧵2/12
Benevity has managed $18.5B in donations, directed 99M volunteer hours, working with 513,000 nonprofits, but vetting 2.2M.
However bad you think the Biden DOJ was, new documents show that it was even worse.
The Civil Rights Division had a disturbingly close relationship with a group tied to Antifa, a group that compares conservatives to the KKK.
🧵1/14
I am referring to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which puts conservative & Christian groups on a "hate map" with KKK chapters, suggesting a similar hatred drives them.
Then-SPLC President Margaret Huang bragged about advising the Biden admin on "domestic terrorism."
🧵2/14
New docs obtained by @America1stLegal show DOJ Civil Rights Division head Kristen Clarke asking Huang for tips to track "matters of concern."
Kash Patel announced that the FBI had cut ties from the SPLC today.
This was long in coming. I'd know—I wrote the book about the SPLC.
I was shocked, though not surprised, to see the media twist the story.
🧵1/20
SPLC puts mainstream conservatives on a "hate map" with the KKK. This inspired a terror attack in 2012. This year, SPLC added Turning Point USA to the "hate map" before Charlie Kirk's assassination.
Liberals have joined conservatives in slamming the SPLC's extreme bias.
🧵2/20
This came after news the SPLC cut ties to the Anti-Defamation League.
Why? The ADL has demonized critics of transgender ideology, and it bent over backwards to suggest the Nashville transgender shooter was not an example of "left-wing extremism."
The FBI under Kash Patel has formally cut all ties with the Southern Poverty Law Center
This is HUGE
🧵1/5
“The SPLC long ago abandoned civil rights work & turned into a partisan smear machine,” @Kash_Patel told me. “Their so-called hate map has been used to defame mainstream Americans & even inspired violence.”
“That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership.”
🧵2/5
This comes after I and a chorus of conservative voices, including @elonmusk, @Cernovich, @JackPosobiec, and so many others rightly called on the FBI to officially cut ties.
