Kia Plans To Fix It’s Biggest Problem With EVs Or Something

By William Teach September 18, 2024 – 7:15 am

Is it the range? The charging anxiety, because the majority of Americans cannot charge at home, meaning they’ll spend as much as the price of gas? Again, I’m not against EVs. If you want one, get one. But, they are not ready to be more than around town cars for most people. Expensive ones

Kia hopes to fix electric cars’ biggest problem by 2030

Electric vehicleKia has confirmed that it will be developing an affordable electric city car – potentially bringing the price down to sub €20,000 for the first time.

It’s likely that the model will be called the Kia EV1.

Kia is looking to address one of the biggest problems facing electric cars – the price.

With a wide selection of models, the company already offers good value, but when compared to the starting price of combustion cars, there’s a gulf in what you’re being asked to pay. (snip)

Kia previously confirmed that it had plans for the Kia EV2, with an expected launch in 2026, but now the company president, Ho-sung Song has told Autocar that the “next, next target” is for a smaller electric city car, with a price under €20,000 (or around £16,850 / $22,248). This would open up the market to those who currently dismiss electric cars as being too expensive.

And what is the range on this vehicle? 100 miles? For a couple grand more you can get a base Civic or Corolla which can go over 300 miles per fill up, and there are gas stations available everywhere, so, those who live in apartments can easily fill up in 5 minutes.

At some point the infrastructure might make sense, but, it is not there yet. Perhaps Biden-Harris, along with Mayor Pete, can get on that whole building fast chargers for the billions they were allocated.

Surprise: Springfield Suffering Lots Of Crime

By William Teach September 18, 2024 – 7:00 am

How dare anyone say that importing the 3rd world brings 3rd world conditions!

EXCLUSIVE: Shoplifting And Vehicle Thefts Soared As Haitian Migrants Poured Into Ohio Town, Police Data Shows

Reports of shoplifting and vehicle theft increased considerably in Springfield, Ohio, following the arrival of thousands of Haitian refugees, according to data obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation through a records request.

The town, which had a population of 58,622 in 2020, has taken in between 12,000 and 20,000 Haitian refugees over the past three years, marking a population increase of between 20.4% and 34.1%. From 2021 to 2023, Springfield also saw a 51.5% jump in motor vehicle theft reports and a 112.8% spike in reports of shoplifting, data provided by the Springfield Police Division shows.

Springfield residents previously told the DCNF that the influx of Haitians has resulted in an uptick in car accidents, increased housing prices and strained public services. Bryan Heck, Springfield’s city manager, sent a letter to Democratic Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance and Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott in July requesting federal assistance to deal with the pressure migrants had placed on the housing supply.

Inhabitants of the town also told the DCNF that they had observed Haitians engaging in sex acts and other vices in public. The DCNF was unable to verify claims made by the town’s residents about Haitians engaging in public debauchery.

Springfield wasn’t exactly the safest city to start with, but, the importation of a huge group of foreigners who share no values, are basically at the lowest end of the 3rd world (you cannot even generously refer to Haiti as a developing nation), and have zero interest in assimilating does not help in the least.

Meanwhile, Springfield isn’t the only small town

Funny: Hezbollah Pagers Explode

By William Teach September 17, 2024 – 3:00 pm

This has made many of the Islamic terrorism loving people in the 1st World upset

Hundreds Of Hezbollah Terrorists Were Carrying Comms Devices — Israel Allegedly Made Them All Explode Remotely

Hundreds of Hezbollah terrorists were reportedly injured in separate explosions across Lebanon on Tuesday, according to multiple reports.

The widespread detonation was the result of a large number of the terrorists’ communication and “wireless” devices suddenly exploding in Lebanon and Syria, according to Axios‘ Barak Ravid and Reuters. Though it’s still unclear who was behind the attack, it comes a day after Israel warned that it was considering taking new actions against an increasingly aggressive Hezbollah.

Israel and Hezbollah have since been engaged in cross-fire skirmishes that have only grown more frequent and sizable since Oct. 7, the date Hamas attacked Israel and started a regional war. The Israeli Defense Minister reportedly told a U.S. envoy on Monday that the time for a diplomatic solution had “passed because Hezbollah continues to tie itself to Hamas and refuses to end the conflict,” according to Axios.

It was the “biggest security breach” Hezbollah has experienced since it started engaging with Israel last year, a senior Hezbollah commander told Reuters. A current total of 2,750 people, including terrorists, are believed to be injured or killed, according to Reuters.

There are reports that 9 terrorists have been killed. Shame that the number is so low.

Pagers were invented by Al Gross, a  Jew. Oh, and here’s Reuters on July 9th, 2024

How Hezbollah used pagers and couriers to counter Israel’s high tech surveillance

Well, that aged poorly. Oh, and reportedly, Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon was also injured. Why was he carrying one?

Climanut St. Greta Named Jew Hater Of The Week

By William Teach September 17, 2024 – 10:30 am

I’m not sure why anyone would be surprised that a climate cult member would also be viruently anti-Israel and anti-Jew while also going pro-Hamas: the majority of Warmists are Leftists. The only surprise here is that Greta and other Warmists haven’t managed to put the whole thing under the banner of the doomsday cult. Yet

Greta Thunberg labeled ‘antisemite of the week’ amid anti-Israel activity

Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been labeled “antisemite of the Week” by the Jewish watchdog group StopAntisemitism following her arrest at an anti-Israel rally. The group criticized Thunberg for aligning with protesters who oppose Israel, accusing her of turning her activism into a platform for anti-Semitism, the New York Post reported.

“She has sadly transformed her activism into a platform for vile Jew-hatred,” the organization said.

Thunberg, 21, was arrested on September 4 while demonstrating with Students Against the Occupation, who called on Copenhagen University to cut ties with Israel, including climate change programs. StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez condemned Thunberg, accusing her of prioritizing hatred for Israel over environmental activism despite Israel’s efforts on climate action.

“Sadly, Greta’s hatred of the world’s only Jewish nation eclipses her love of the environment. Despite Israel being a global leader in tackling climate disasters and rushing to aid in crises worldwide, Greta sides with their homicidal terrorist enemies,” StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez said in a statement.

No one should be surprised. Remember the octopus?

It was never some soothing plushie for Greta, it was intentional. Meanwhile, the IDF took out one of her buddies

(Jerusalem Post) Key Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist Ahmad Ayesh Salama al-Khashash was eliminated by IDF forces in the humanitarian area of Khan Yunis, the IDF reported on Tuesday morning.

During an operation in Khan Yunis, IAF aircraft, guided by the Military Intelligence Directorate and the Southern Command, identified and eliminated Khashash, who held a significant position within the terrorist organization.

Khashash was responsible for managing the PIJ’s rocket unit in the Rafah region, with a role involving managing and directing rocket fire towards Israel’s home front from within the humanitarian zone, the IDF noted.

“Humanitarian zone”. Is it any wonder civilians are killed when terrorists attack from within civilian populations? Usually with the support of those same civilians.

Your Fault: Climate Crisis (scam) Worsens Anthrax In Zimbabwe

By William Teach September 17, 2024 – 7:15 am

This could have been stopped had you just given up your use of fossil fuels and meat, but, no, you had to be selfish

Anthrax in Zimbabwe: Caused by Oppression, Worsened by Climate Change

A herd of emaciated cows crowd for water at a small dam in the Zimunya area about 50 kilometres (31 miles) south of Zimbabwe’s eastern border city of Mutare.

On the other side of the small dam, a group of children excitedly fetch water, mostly for nondrinking or cooking uses. In this part of the country, water became scarce this year as an El Niño-induced drought — the worst in more than 40 years — ravaged the region. The drought has left nearly 10 million people food insecure. Livestock and people now compete for limited water in many rural areas of Zimbabwe.

Wait, a drought in Zimbabwe? Weird

Anthrax, a disease that affects wild animals, livestock, and humans, is caused by spore-forming bacteria called Bacillus anthracis. Theileriosis, also known as January disease, is a cattle disease transmitted by ticks.

Anthrax is of particular worry. Early this year several districts in Zimbabwe were hit by an anthrax outbreak that caused a documented 513 human infections, countless livestock infections, and 36 livestock deaths.

Though some experts say the current anthrax outbreaks in Zimbabwe have been exacerbated by climate change, outbreaks can be traced back to the time of Zimbabwe’s protracted war of liberation that ended in 1979. At the height of the war, when the country was still known as Rhodesia, the brutal colonial regime of the late Prime Minister Ian Smith reportedly used anthrax as a biological weapon. (snip)

Today experts fear that anthrax outbreaks in Zimbabwe will become worse due to climate change, which is making some parts of the country warmer and wetter.

So, on one hand, anthrax has been around for we don’t know how long. It was first identified using science in 1752. When did it start? No one knows, but, they think the earliest recorded outbreak was 700BC. But, of course, since it is 2024, it is all the fault of ‘climate change’. And will only get worse. Even though it had literally been used as a biological weapon, and is essentially a 3rd world nation.

Attempted Trump Assassin Had SKS Rifle, So, Let’s Confiscate Your Scary Assault Rifle

By William Teach September 17, 2024 – 7:00 am

Let’s not forget that Kamala Harris wants a mandatory gun buy back, ie, forced confiscation of your legally purchased firearm

Report: FBI Affidavit Indicates Alleged Trump Assassin Had SKS Rifle

An affidavit in the criminal complaint against alleged Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh indicates he had an SKS rifle with him, according to reports.

CNN pointed to FBI Special Agent Mark A. Thomas’s affidavit, indicating the gun found in the bushes where Routh had allegedly been was a “loaded SKS-style 7.62×39 caliber rifle with a scope.”

In a press conference shortly after Routh’s arrest, Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw described the gun as an “an AK-47 style rifle with a scope.”

An AK-style rifle and an SKS-style rifle bear some resemblance to one another, in that both are Soviet-era guns and both firearms run off 7.62×39 ammunition. However, whereas AK-47s can be had in automatic or semiautomatic versions — the former used on battlefields and the latter available for the civilian market — SKS rifles are strictly semiautomatic.

The SKS has been made in China and the old Soviet era Yugoslavia, but, it doesn’t matter to the gun grabbers, because it is a gun, and they want to ban all guns from private ownership. At least for the peasants. The Elites will get to keep theirs, including for their security.

Good. Because Routh’s story just keeps getting weirder and weirder, what with all his contacts with Credentialed Media reporters, his time in Ukraine and apparently trying to funnel fighters into Ukraine to fight against Russia, to taking lots of flights around the world on $3,000 a month, to appearing with World Chef Jose Andres, whose crew was also consorting with Hamas, and had cooked for Kamala.

Muslim Brotherhood Backed CAIR Upset Over Plan To Protect Synagogues

By William Teach September 16, 2024 – 4:16 pm

What possible excuse could they have for protecting Jewish synagogues from harrassment by Islamists and Democrats?

CAIR Objects to L.A. Proposal to Protect Synagogues from Harassment

The California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is objecting to a proposal by the L.A. City Council to bar anti-Israel protesters from the entrances to synagogues.

The proposal is a response to a rise in antisemitism in the city associated with anti-Israel protests, especially several incidents in June in which pro-Palestinian activists targeted local synagogues, obstructing entrances in one case.

City Council members Katy Yaroslavsky and Bob Blumenfield demanded action in June, calling for more resources for safety. They are the authors of the new proposal, which would require an eight-foot “bubble zone” around synagogues and other religious institutions.

The Los Angeles Times described the proposal in August, reporting that it “would make it a misdemeanor for protesters to intentionally block the entrances of healthcare facilities, schools or religious institutions — or demonstrate within 8 feet of anyone trying to get inside. The protective 8-foot “bubble” would be required within 100 feet of a facility’s entrance.” It would apply to mosques as well as to synagogues.

So, mosques (where Islamic radicalism is taught) are protected, too? Of course, few actually protest there, because Islamists would knife the protesters

The letter from CAIR California, which appears undated, urges the Los Angeles city attorney to examine the “underlying context” of the proposal, saying it is “targeting pro-Palestinian demonstrators’ First Amendment rights.”

The letter claims that “peaceful pro-Palestinian protesters have courageously stood up against the ongoing violations of human rights in Gaza” at local universities and other sites. (There have been several acts of violence by the “peaceful” protesters; this reporter was assaulted by “peaceful” protests at a campus “encampment” in April.)

So, what does protesting at Jewish synagogues have to do with protesting what’s going on in Gaza? Go protest at the Israeli embassy. The only reason to protest at synagogues and Jewish centers and harass individual Jews is to simply harass them. To intimidate them.

Let’s remember, the 1st Amendment (and Article I section 2 of the People’s Republik Of California constitution) is about protesting the government first. It mentions protesting peaceably. Intimidating and abusing Jews is not covered. Keeping a buffer zone for private entities does not violate those constitutional provisions.

German Government Cracks Down On Border After Knife Attacks

By William Teach September 16, 2024 – 10:30 am

Good for them. Of course, it’s way too late

Germany Cracks Down on Its Borders Following Migrant Knife Attacks

Germany has begun a new border crackdown following two knife attacks attributed to migrants.

On Monday, Germany began random checks at it borders with five Western European nations expanding a system of controls that are already in place at four other borders.

Last month, a knife attack in Solingen killed three people and in June, a knife attack left a police officer dead and four other people wounded.

Police controls began on Monday at the borders with France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Denmark and are due to continue for six months. (snip)

In June, a knife attack attributed to an Afghan immigrant left a police officer dead and four other people wounded.

On Aug. 23, a man linked to Islamist extremism killed three people and wounded eight others in a stabbing rampage at a festival in Solingen.

A 26-year-old Syrian asylum-seeker who had evaded deportation from Germany to Bulgaria, was arrested shortly after the attack.

That’s nice, but, they’ve been letting in Islamic extremists for decades legally, even before 9/11, where several of the attackers were living in Germany. They’ve also seen them come in illegally for decades, and barely deport them. The nation has seen the Islamism rise, just like in France, England, Spain, and other EU nations. They’ve seen them take over neighborhoods and cities and institute Islamism. So, this is just too late.

Until the German government starts deporting them, legal or illegal, the knife attacks will continue, as the implementation of Islamism will continue.
