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.

🚨Legacy media outlets are touting the 200 "Republicans" who signed an open letter backing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.🤔 I was curious, so I teamed up with @TheElizMitchell and did a little digging.
As it turns out, this list has three groups of "former Bush, McCain, and Romney staff" who arguably don't belong and may have been added just to pad the numbers:
1⃣INTERNS. Yes, people who interned for a presidential campaign or a Senate office are on this list as if they represent GOP politicos.
2⃣Apolitical staff. There's a guy who flew Marine One for George W. Bush (props) who also flew Marine One for *checks notes* Barack Obama. Not exactly a GOP politico, huh?
3⃣People who went on to work for Democrats in more political roles.
If you want to publicly back Harris, fine. But this list doesn't represent some sort of groundswell among Republicans. dailysignal.com/2024/08/30/lis…
1⃣Exhibit A of someone who does NOT belong on such a list: Felice Gorordo. Yes, Gorordo did work in the Bush administration. But in 2011, Barack Obama appointed him as a White House Fellow. Then, in 2018, he joined the Biden Cancer Initiative. He may be a fine guy, but he's not evidence of a GOP groundswell for Harris.
2⃣I'd like to thank Daniel Connor for his service as a presidential helicopter pilot, naval attache, and special advisor to the Marine Corps. But a man who flew Marine One for Bush and then kept flying it for Barack Obama does not belong on this list—his important service to the country transcends politics, so he doesn't represent a GOP groundswell for Harris.
👖🔥PANTS ON FIRE: Democrats told 5 massive lies at the #DNC, and they repeated them over and over. Here's my article and thread breaking them down 1/7 dailysignal.com/2024/08/22/5-m…
1⃣Trump supports a "nationwide abortion ban."
FACT CHECK: False. Trump has repeatedly stated that he would leave abortion up to the states.
🚨GASLIGHTING: The Southern Poverty Law Center, which pushes financial firms to blacklist conservative and Christian nonprofits, claims that @ADFLegal's warnings about debanking are a conspiracy theory. But it gets worse... dailysignal.com/2024/08/20/gro…
SPLC blatantly lied, saying that ADF itself "characterizes" debanking as an "anti-white and anti-Christian conspiracy." This echoes SPLC's previous accusation that ADF's efforts at viewpoint diversity are somehow rooted in "white supremacy." dailysignal.com/2024/08/12/now…
ADF's @Jeremy_Tedesco called SPLC's claims "outright and disgusting lies." He noted that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have also raised concerns about debanking. The SPLC declined to give any evidence that ADF characterized debanking as an "anti-white conspiracy."🤔
🚨'ANTI-SCIENCE': Former HHS, FDA leaders slam FDA's "duplicity" on so-called puberty blockers💉 after evidence reveals a high-ranking FDA official urged approval for these drugs while admitting they increase suicidality, depression & seizures in youth‼️ dailysignal.com/2024/08/13/ant…
“During the Trump administration, the media falsely accused us daily of ‘politicizing America’s public health agencies.’ Yet the same media is now silent on Harris and Biden’s FDA’s anti-science, purely political insanity,” former HHS Chief of Staff @brianeharrison told me.
@brianeharrison “We’ve now learned that the same FDA that banned mothers from importing safe formula for starving babies and kept safe COVID treatments from patients was apparently pushing dangerous puberty blockers for kids,” Harrison added‼️
🚨BREAKING: SPLC puts a gay organization, @againstgrmrs, on the "hate map" as an "Anti-LGBTQ+ hate group." The SPLC also put doctors⚕️ on the map with KKK chapters: @segm_ebm @donoharm @genspect. Their crime? Disagreeing with transgender orthodoxy. dailysignal.com/2024/06/05/spl…
The SPLC claimed it “documented 86 active anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups—about 33% higher than 2022, and the highest number ever recorded by the SPLC.” What does that actually mean?🤔 It means they chose to smear more groups as "anti-LGBTQ+ hate groups."
As I documented in my book📕 "Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center," the SPLC has weaponized its history in fighting the KKK to demonize mainstream conservative and Christian groups by putting them on a "hate map" with the Klan.
🚨BREAKING: Librarians in a South Carolina school district HID their card catalog from parents😲 A librarian wrote that she did this to prevent moms and dads from scouring it "for critical race theory books."‼️ @Moms4Liberty got receipts🧾 through FOIA dailysignal.com/2024/03/13/sou…
“Instead of listing these books as available in the library, they are making a conscious decision to include them in curriculum read aloud in class so parents don’t know," the Anderson County Moms for Liberty chair, Carly Carter, told me.
"What’s most insulting here is that their intention is to cut parents out," Carter added. "They want to expose children to a social curriculum that they don’t want their parents to know anything about. That's appalling.”‼️
