The counter-revolution continues. No other Western nation is coming close to achieving what Trump has done in his first month back in office.

Trump Is Turning Off All 8,000 EV Chargers at All Federal Government Buildings
The administration also wants EVs purchased under previous mandates offloaded.
Electric vehicles are “not mission critical,” said the Trump administration, which has ordered all EV chargers located at federal buildings to be shut down nationwide and newly purchased EVs to be offloaded. This comes on the heels of pausing already-promised EV infrastructure funding.
The U.S. General Services Administration, or GSA, is the federal agency responsible for contracts and procurement as they relate to the government’s real estate, IT, products, and equipment, which includes vehicles. According to The Verge, there are several hundred charging stations managed by the GSA, which amounts to roughly 8,000 charging ports across the country. And they now they’re going to be turned off.
“As GSA has worked to align with the current administration, we have received direction that all GSA owned charging stations are not mission critical,” said an agency email viewed by The Verge. “Neither Government Owned Vehicles nor Privately Owned Vehicles will be able to charge at these charging stations once they’re out of service.”
These EV chargers were available for government-issued EVs as well as those personally owned by federal employees. An internal announcement is scheduled to be made next week. However, some federal offices have already been instructed to take their chargers offline.
The Verge reports that under the Biden administration, gas-powered vehicles were being phased out in favor of electrification. The GSA currently manages a fleet of approximately 650,000 vehicles—more than half of which were slated to be replaced by EVs.
In a March 2024 press release, the GSA announced that more than 58,000 zero-emission vehicles had been ordered and that more than 25,000 new charging ports had begun installation. Actually, how many ZEVs were received and chargers installed between then and now is unclear.
What happens to the disconnected EV chargers isn’t known. What happens to the recently purchased EVs is also one big shrug emoji. They will be offloaded from the fleet, yes, but whether they are sold or simply put into storage is anyone’s guess at the moment. And will they be replaced with gas-powered vehicles? If so, will the gas cars be resurrected older vehicles or new ones that require additional agency spending? Can they at least be hybrids because gas is expensive again?
Another question mark is whether other federal agencies will follow suit. The Verge says that many of them use the GSA-managed EV chargers. If those are out of service, where’s a federal, law enforcement, or military EV supposed to go?
The first thing you see on the GSA website is its motto: “Delivering effective and efficient government services for the American people.” However, given that there’ll be 8,000 fewer chargers for thousands of existing government-issued EVs that could now be stranded or see increased costs, the GSA seems to be doing the opposite.
“The goal of abolishing the white race is on its face so desirable that some may find it hard to believe that it could incur any opposition other than from committed white supremacists.”
“If you are a white male, you don’t deserve to live. You are a cancer, you’re a disease, white males have never contributed anything positive to the world!”
“Make no mistake about it: we intend to keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females too, until the social construct known as ‘the white race’ is destroyed—not ‘deconstructed’ but destroyed.”

Just like many of the other statements Trumpy makes, there will probably be a last minute reversal. Elon Musk is the right hand man and the EV Jesus, so I doubt any charges will be unplugged or at least not for very long. I expect Amazon, UPS, DHL, Post Office, and all the Box stores to have a large percentage of EV’s in their fleet. May be a good time to get into an EV stocks as when Trumpy makes his reversal statement, those stocks should pop. Most all the big auto firms are into EV’s now, Huge investments!
If President Trump keeps disparaging Ukraine while promoting Russian interests (like ZH), his goodwill will evaporate like a fart in the wind….
‘It’s Over!’ James Carville Tells Dan Abrams the Trump White House Will Suffer a ‘Massive Collapse’ in ‘Less Than 30 Days’
Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville told Mediaite’s Dan Abrams that the Trump administration would “collapse” within 30 days and advised Democrats to sit back and let it happen.
Speaking with Abrams — the founder of Mediaite — on his show on the SiriusXM POTUS channel Friday, Carville said that after four weeks in office, President Donald Trump had seen his stock with the public drop dramatically and that it would only get worse. The architect of Bill Clinton’s 1992 election win has said for weeks that Democrats should stop making themselves targets for mockery by protesting Trump’s every move. He said following that advice would serve them especially well in the coming four to six weeks.

That’s interesting. Wonder what he knows, I’m sure it’s a lot.
ZeroHedge is really pumping the pro-Putin, pro-Russian, anti-Zelinsky, anti-Ukraine propaganda. The alt-media are really lapping it up.
And you wonder why I don’t listen to or read any of the alt-media? They’ll claim that Russia is right because Zelinsky diddles children and is a cross dresser. They’ll claim Russia is right because Zelinsky flip-flops. They say Russia has a right to Ukraine, because Zelinsky is a CIA plant.
The alt-media are a bunch of poor thinkers and Trump has caught the pro-Putin bug.
Guess who?!?!
A massive brawl at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was caught on camera. The viral video shows a group of people fighting in front of what appears to be a Spirit Airlines flight gate
https://youtu.be/goYLRPpbE6A?si=rXHvOqzk2M_KU9LZ
I used to go through that airport frequently about 20 years ago. I don’t really remember seeing many black people on planes besides the odd stewardess. I haven’t really flown in the last 10 years so I guess I am still not missing much.
Right! When there’s brawls in public, you can guess the participants!
Fed’s Goolsbee Plays Down Jump in Inflation Expectations
(Bloomberg) — Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Austan Goolsbee downplayed a report released last week that showed an increase in consumers’ expectations for future inflation.
The figure “wasn’t a great number,” Goolsbee said Sunday in an interview on News Nation. “But it’s only one month of data. You need at least two or three months for that to count.”
A closely watched gauge of longer-term inflation expectations, a key ingredient in the Fed’s monetary policy decision making, rose to its highest level in almost three decades, a report Friday showed.
Consumers expect prices will climb at an annual rate of 3.5% over the next 5 to 10 years, according to the final February reading from the University of Michigan. The rate is the highest since 1995, based on data compiled by Bloomberg, and was almost entirely driven by views among survey respondents who are Democrats.

I don’t travel outside the States, but interesting none the less. Warning for Americans Traveling to the UK
Key Points:
The UK will charge and prosecute Americans for their social media posts made in the US, if they travel to the UK
This is due to the UK’s broad “hate speech” laws, which could criminalize even statements about your Christian faith or political stance
UK officials have boasted they will “throw the full force of the law” at people, whether they commit crimes in the UK or online from abroad
The vague laws and targeting of conservatives raise concerns that speech could be criminalized at the “whim of the police and officials”
Some UK leaders have even wanted to extradite individuals from the US whose language they want suppressed
That’s because English people don’t own firearms. It’s like that in the EU and Commonwealth.
People can laugh all they want, but there is a direct hard correlation between private firearms ownership and suppression of basic freedoms.
The Jews hate firearms and are scared of gun owners. Especially those who know who is who and who is Jew. Jews and firearms don’t mix.
Those who know who is who and who is Jew… We could make a fun Dr. Seuss story with that line!
Gun owners keep the government in check.
All the democrat states that invested heavily in ev will have to go back to the draw board! Trump as stated, is at least axing lots of asinine policies! As Shakespeare said, Kings are earth’s gods in vice their law’s their will.
Government fleet vehicles are primarily used to harass taxpayers with inspection and audit. No need to replace those vehicles with anything as it appears harassment is no longer mission critical.
All I hear is gloom and doom in the housing market. Clearly, these one string banjos don’t see the larger picture.
Rent equivalents in my single-family detached rentals in the Strasburg and Winchester, VA areas have increased by about $500 a month over the past two years. That’s an increase of at least 25%.
A house that was renting for about $1,900, two years ago, is back on the market for $2,495.
I no longer recommend keeping tenants in for more than 2 to 3 years. I now recommend higher tenant turnover, which will allow landlords to raise the rent quicker.
By the end of the Summer, I’ll only have two SFRs remaining in PG County. Two houses bringing in $6,000 a month. Eight PG properties will be gone!
I have spoken. I am the king. Long live the king!🤣🤣🤣
The houses on the four cash out mortgages I took out in 2022-late 2023 are already generating about $1,000 more a month in total rent.
The interest rates I’m paying are no longer an issue.
February is Black History Month! I celebrate by no longer renting to blacks. Black power!
The houses and condos I once rented out to blacks for as much as 50% below full market in PG County are now being rented out for full market value by black landlords, who tend to be shitty landlords.
Black power! 🦾🦾🦾
Blacks don’t mind screwing each other for what they got. Is it a small wonder why blacks are at the bottom as they don’t respect each other never mind whitie.
