President Trump took to Truth Social tonight and announced that he is approving new fuel economy standards which will effectively terminate Joe Biden’s electric vehicle mandate.

According to Trump, this move will reduce waste and lower the cost of cars for American families. It’s also great news for the auto manufacturers.

All of this is great news.

Townhall reports:

President Donald Trump says that he has approved new fuel economy standards that should cut the costs of the vehicle market.

“BIG DAY FOR AMERICAN AUTO WORKERS AND CAR BUYERS! I have just approved new Fuel Economy Standards that TERMINATE Sleepy Joe Biden and Pete Boot-EDGE-EDGE’s ridiculous EV Mandate,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The Dumocrats cost our Great Auto Manufacturers $Billions, forced Americans into cars they never wanted, and wasted Billions on Chargers that were never built.”

The new standards terminate the EPA’s electric vehicle mandate.

“These new Standards will take the waste out of ⁠building cars in America. That means LOWER PRICES, saving families thousands on a new, beautiful, and safe car,” Trump wrote. “Far better than the Environmental Monsters that we were building heretofore. Every Manufacturer, from General Motors to Ford to Stellantis, has called me wanting to build here, and now they can!”

The final rule isn’t available yet. Under former President Joe Biden, the EPA had ordered about 67 percent of new light-duty and medium-duty vehicle sales to be electric by 2032.

MASSIVE victory for US consumers who paid a heavy price for Biden’s failed policies.

This move, and with the actions of Congressional Republicans to eliminate the ability for California to dictate the cars Americans could buy, will make American cars much more affordable! https://t.co/pQNgDp0iYd

President Trump officially just ended Biden and Buttigieg’s EV mandates.

Green new scam is over.

The Green New Deal was never about making life better for Americans, and everyone knows it.

Thank you, President Trump.

There is a clip of the celebrated conservative economist and historian Thomas Sowell circulating on social media right now that is fascinating to watch.

In the video, Sowell shares what makes him think that society as we know it might be doomed. He uses the example of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Sowell points out that people are so stupid that they called Kirk a fascist when all he did was talk to people and try to convince them of his ideas, while noting that it is fascists who shoot and kill people.

Partial transcript:

“I do think that there is a very serious chance that we are doomed, because we have institutions where people who are pursuing their interests are destroying the larger interests of the whole society.

These people who are coming around shooting people and calling them fascists, and so on.

These people are so ignorant, that they don’t even know what the fascists were doing.

Uh, Charles Kirk goes around, went around talking to people, trying to convince them. Fascists don’t do that. Fascists shoot people.

And so uh, it’s the person who kills him thinking he’s a fascist who is himself a fascist and the opposite of the man he’s murdering.”

Watch the whole thing below:

Thomas Sowell: “I really think that our society is doomed. Our higher educational institutions have become increasingly intolerant of opposing viewpoints.

Sowell is a national treasure.

Fun fact: The man interviewing Thomas Sowell in these videos is Peter Robinson, who was a speech writer for Ronald Reagan. Robinson is credited with writing the famous line: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”

Last night on his HBO show, Bill Maher gave Trump credit for the drop in crime across the country. It’s the sort of thing you never hear from the liberal media or other late night hosts.

Of course, Bill being Bill, he just had to try to give some credit to Democrats for expanding the social safety net. We’re not exactly sure what he is even talking about there, but still, it’s nice to hear someone finally give Trump credit on this issue.

Maher basically said that Trump is a FAFO president and that people who might commit crimes are more likely to realize that there will be conequences.

FOX News has more details:

Comedian Bill Maher offered surprising praise for President Donald Trump’s handling of crime Friday, telling his audience that the president’s tough-guy persona may have played a role in a nationwide drop in violent crime.

“It’s not just drug crime that’s way down. It’s all crime,” Maher said during Friday’s episode of HBO’s “Real Time. “And, again, probably much of it is not political. It’s because you can’t move two inches in America without being tracked, photographed and followed by a Flock camera.”…

“It’s also because when Democrats expand the safety net, there are less desperate people,” Maher said. “And because Trump is a bad a–.”

Maher added that while he does not “agree with many of [Trump’s] methods,” he cannot argue that the president’s tough-on-crime approach has yielded successful results.

“Is doing it this way the right thing? No. But it’s just childish to pretend that when you elect a f—-around-and-find-out president, a no-more-Mr.-Nice-Guy, boot-in-your-a–, ‘V for Vendetta,’ kick-a– and take names, say-hello-to-my-little-friend president, that’s not going to have some effect on crime,” he continued.

“He has UFC fights on the lawn,” Maher concluded. “I think the bad guys got the message.”

Here’s the video:

This was an unexpected moment.

Bill Maher spent one of the final minutes of his show heaping massive praise on President Trump for taking a sledgehammer to crime.

“Trump is a BADASS!”

It’s not a perfect analysis of what has happened, but it’s good to hear him credit Trump.

It’s certainly better than anything you’ll hear on CNN or MSNOW.

Ukrainian life is being disrupted more and more each day.

Back in early summer, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky announced a ‘40-day campaign of deep strikes in Russia’ to pressure Russians to end the war.

The inevitable result is that Russian forces increased attacks on all of Ukraine, with combined missile/drone packages targeting not only military but also economic targets.

Responsible Statecraft reported:

“The [Ukrainian] drone attacks have elicited the most severe Russian retaliation yet. Moscow has markedly stepped up its strikes on Ukraine, including one of the largest ballistic missile attacks of the entire war [August 20], at the precise time the United States and Europe are running low on interceptors to defend it.”

Now, relentless, near-daily Russian strikes have disrupted power and energy, transport, shuttered all the Ports, targeted logistics centers, industry and, lately, data centers.

As a result of the onslaught, almost all Ukrainian TV channels went dark in Kyiv after the data centers were targeted.

Some residents only have access to a few channels, Ukrainian media reports.

Kyiv Post reported:

“Multiple news agencies reported service and broadcast disruptions on Saturday after Russia’s latest attacks on data centers. Cosmonova, a Ukrainian data center, confirmed its main facilities were damaged on Saturday in its Facebook updates, before adding that it’s working to redirect internet traffic and restore the data in backup locations.

Ukrainian outlet Channel 24 reported that the disruption at Cosmonova has affected broadcasts from multiple television and news channels. According to Channel 24, local television channel “We – Ukraine+” – whose affiliated channel was struck by a Russian attack during a live broadcast on Sept. 8 – is currently unavailable, while Army TV is also suffering from the same issue.”

“While those attacks affect Ukrainians’ ability to travel and leave the country, strikes on data centers can also potentially affect their ability to receive critical information, as seen during the 2023 cyberattack against major telecom operator Kyivstar, when sirens were not active in certain areas after parts of the company’s IT infrastructure were wiped clean.

A Ukrainian tech consultant told tech outlet dev.ua on Thursday that Russia has been hitting Ukrainian data centers for around three weeks. Four data centers were hit on the same day during an attack on Wednesday, with train service also affected.”

So, after he ‘opened Pandora’s Box’ of economic attacks, Zelensky devotes considerable time to complaining about it.

Today (26), he said the Russian attacks on data centers and internet providers seek ‘to cause maximum disruption for ordinary people’.

BBC reported:

“All this affects people’s ability to stay connected, study, work,” he said. On Friday a Russian drone hit a business center in the capital Kyiv, killing four people and damaging a data center. A separate attack killed a 14-year-old boy. Israel’s foreign ministry said he was an Israeli citizen.

Russia confirmed it had targeted a data center site, saying it was being used by Ukrainian military intelligence.

About 100,000 households in Kyiv and the region suffered internet outages on Wednesday due to strikes. Some firms have already begun moving data from damaged servers to facilities abroad.”

Tennessee is preparing an all-female team to give a lethal injection to Christa Gail Pike on Wednesday, a request her lawyers made due to decades of sexual abuse and PTSD.

Pike, 50, is the only woman on the state’s death row.

The sentence is scheduled to be carried out at 10 a.m. at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville, if it goes as planned, she will be the first woman Tennessee has executed in more than 200 years.

Pike’s attorneys asked that male guards stay out of the room when she is strapped down for pentobarbital.

They argued that being restrained by men would remind her of childhood rapes.

A clinical psychologist testified that the gurney, the straps, and a male presence would make her collapse into the assaults that began when she was a toddler.

A coalition of sexual-violence specialists told Gov. Bill Lee the process would make her “feel and believe that she is being raped to death.”

On September 2, Pike’s legal team filed a 226-page petition asking to commute the sentence to life without parole.

They say the jury never heard that Pike was raped as a small child, that a 37-year-old neighbor raped her at 11 and walked with a suspended sentence, and that a stranger raped her at 17.

After the verdict, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD.

“Christa was broken, not evil,” they wrote. They argued Lee can “protect a victim of child rape and correct the mistakes of the adults, institutions and systems that consistently failed Christa as a child.”

In January 1995, Pike, then 18, and two other Job Corps students lured 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer onto the University of Tennessee agriculture campus in Knoxville.

Slemmer was brutally beaten. They carved pentagrams and satanic symbols into her body and slit her throat.

Her head was so badly destroyed that Pike was able to keep a piece of her skull.

Tadaryl Shipp, her 17-year-old boyfriend, received life in prison because he was too young to be eligible for the death penalty in the state.

Shadolla Peterson, also 18, testified for the state and got probation.

May Martinez, Slemmer’s mother, is driving more than eight hours from Jacksonville to watch.

Martinez called Pike’s clemency bid “complete baloney.”

“I don’t think she should be allowed to have any special treatment,” she told the Daily Mail. “She didn’t consider how my daughter felt — she’s just playing the system … It’s all bullcrap.”

The Tennessee Supreme Court refused to halt the injection on September 23.

Pike’s legal team has said they will take it to the Supreme Court.
