More Biden corruption comes to light, California gets even more crazy, and two former European Prime Ministers step out of the spotlight in different ways.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer revealed Thursday that he expects there is evidence of at least $20-$30 million being made in illegal payments by foreign nationals to the Biden family.
Appearing on Fox Business, Comer stated “We have more bank records coming in but we’re gonna exceed $10 million this week but I think we’ll get up to $20-$30 million.”
He further noted that it is becoming clear that the Bidens potentially engaged in bribery, influence peddling, and money laundering.
“This is going to be hard for Biden to explain, this is not going to go away, and I think eventually the mainstream media is going to start asking the real questions,” Comer added.
“They know there’s something wrong here. They know all the allegations have merit, because of where Joe Biden was, because of what we’ve seen on tape before, where Joe Biden bragged about firing that prosecutor,” he added,
“They know that this family created these shell companies. They know this family was money-laundering, they were profiting off Joe Biden’s influence,” Comer asserted, adding “The media knows that – they’re just not covering it.”
“I can assure you: there is more money that we’re going to be able to identify, that was transferred between foreign nationals in other countries and the Biden family,” Comer further emphasized, adding “I think, eventually, the mainstream media will turn on Joe Biden and start asking the real questions: ‘What did your family do to receive all this money?’”
In April 2023, an unelected Board in California voted to force trucking companies to buy zero-emission trucks. This technology is at early-stage adoption in limited segments, and infrastructure buildout is lagging behind what is required to support electrification in our industry. The Board unanimously advanced the Advanced Clean Fleet rule to accompany California’s equally tough electric vehicle sales mandate regulation, the Advanced Clean Truck rule, that would require truck manufacturers to sell zero-emission vehicles. These two regulations together are designed to create an artificial electric vehicle market sooner rather than later.
This new rule was made at the behest of the environmental lobby, which pushed for unrealistic targets and unachievable timelines that will undoubtedly lead to higher prices for goods delivered to the state and fewer options for consumers. ATA has strongly opposed this rule from the outset and testified at a hearing in Sacramento to express the trucking industry’s concerns directly to the Board.
Snip.
Today’s clean diesel trucks can spend 15 minutes fueling anywhere in the country and then travel about 1,200 miles before fueling again. In contrast, today’s zero-emission trucks:
- Have significantly less range of about 150-330 miles between charging or refueling;
- Need to be charged or refueled more often and for longer periods of time leading to unproductive downtime;
- Cost two to three times more than a comparable clean-diesel truck; and
- Weigh thousands of pounds more, reducing payload capacity and requiring more trucks and drivers to move the same amount of freight.
Also: “The California Energy Commission estimates that 157,000 chargers will need to be installed by 2030 to support California’s heavy-duty vehicle electrification goals.” Assuming there’s enough Lithium in the world for the batteries… (Hat tip: TPPF.)

Re: The Biden corruption revelations, note that this also explains something in a way that many of us have long suspected – the “deep state” freak-out over PDJT’s phone call with then newly-elected President Zelensky. It didn’t take much to see that this was going to be their (deep state’s) worst nightmare – what amounted to a joint American-Ukrainian anti-corruption investigation into our corrupt deep state (and all the millions funneled to “the big guy”) and their corrupt soviet-relic-oligarch class (Burisma was both corrupt AND deeply entangled with the corrupt Russian-puppet regime that honest Ukrainians managed to eject in 2014). So that pegs the whole early-2020 “impeachment” nonsense for what it was – a way of changing the topic to distract from what was clearly in the works and preventing it from happening.
@Northern Redneck,
Yep. I agree 100%. I’m pretty sure that’s why the entrenched interests went after Trump hammer and tongs… He’s an outsider, and much as I hate to admit it, I think he’s also fundamentally an honest man… So, they dared not let him stay in power or get a break to look at how things were being done in DC.
When all this breaks, it’s going to make every other historical scandal pale in comparison. I suspect that it goes back to Wilson’s time in office, when the FBI got started against the will of Congress, and Hoover took his position at its head. His successors are no better men than he was…
@Kirks
“Wilson’s time in office…” You’re very very close, it was actually 1910. and it wasn’t the FBI, it was the Fed.
“The long-term influence of the banking cartel is incalculable. Their biggest coup was the establishment of the Federal Reserve System in the United States. The big New York banks really didn’t like the idea of genuine competition, so a small group held a secret meeting at the private resort of JP Morgan on Jekyll Island, off the coast of Georgia [in 1910]. Their scheme, devised by Paul M. Warburg, and subsequently adopted by Congress, is a legal private monopoly of the US money supply operated for the benefit of the few under the guise of protecting and promoting the public interest.
To put it bluntly, the Congress transferred its sovereign constitutional right to create money to the sole custody of a group of private bankers. The magnitude of the heist is unprecedented in the history of the world – the numbers now are in the high trillions.”

Weigh thousands of pounds more, reducing payload capacity and requiring more trucks and drivers to move the same amount of freight.
Increasing the weight of the trucks will increase the rate of degradation of the highways and roads those trucks traverse, requiring more, and more frequent, maintenance, with all the concomitant expenses and CO2 emissions of the equipment required. Whether that’s mathematically justified or not, I can’t say, but it seems like addressing the question would be worthwhile if reducing CO2 emissions was the actual goal. Maybe the tree-huggers think all the construction equipment will be electric as well?
