The farmer and trucker protests that started in Germany and then spread to Poland and Romania, are now engulfing France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Of course, we are not hearing much about this in America because Big Media does not want to see such protests get ignited here.

This has been going on for multiple weeks at this point in time. And the protesters do not appear to be wavering despite attempts by different governments to mollify the protesters with promises.

A planned, eight-day, countrywide protests by agricultural workers began on Monday in Germany. The actions include motorway blockades and are described by the head of the farmers’ association as “the like of which the country has never experienced before.”

The reason? The government is planning to increase taxes on Diesel fuel and farm equipment as part of the German “Build Back Better” climate agenda.

In his first campaign speech of the year, Joe Biden lied as usual when he said he went to the funerals of the police officers who were killed due to January 6th at the US Capitol. No officers were killed that day. One officer died of a stroke the next day.

America is on a path to fiscal ruin. America owes almost $34 trillion in debt. We have record tax revenues but we have a government that believes it can spend money we do not have. The annual interest to service the debt is approaching $1 trillion. It will only get worse from here.

Totalitarianism strikes in Florida. The true threat to the demise of our democracy lies with the Democrats, not Donald Trump.

The Florida Democratic Executive Committee has announced that the upcoming primary election ballot will only feature the name of Joe Biden. This excludes any potential challengers within the party. How is this democratic?

The primary serves as a platform for party members to choose their preferred candidate for the general election. How can that happen if no other candidates are permitted on the ballot? The Florida primary will not accommodate write-in candidates either. This means that Democratic voters disenchanted with Biden’s performance will be without a recourse to express their dissent by voting.

This is communism at work. It supports RFK, Jr’s assertion that the DNC is making it difficult if not impossible to challenge the senile one in the White House.

Chairman Xi would be proud.

In what has to be one of the greatest pieces of irony ever, private jets on the way to Dubai for the “global warming” conference known as COP28 literally became frozen on the runways in Munich due to a powerful snowstorm.

Must have been a lot of snow on that tail section.

New York Attorney General Letitia James displayed her communist bona fides again by suing PepsiCo. James seems to be intent on driving as much business out of NY as possible. The basis for the suit? PepsiCo is a public nuisance by the way they package their products.

A group of quiet, deliberate nationalists has taken the Netherlands by surprise. No one saw this coming. It is a bigger upset than the election in Argentina. The Party for Freedom (PVV) won 37 seats in Parliament and now stand as the largest political force in the country. Populist Geert Wilders is now on track to be the next prime minister.

New Jersey will phase out the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035, joining states such as California and New York, Gov. Phil Murphy (D) announced Wednesday. This goes hand in hand with the Left’s plan to reduce or eliminate the public’s ability to travel freely.

In the future that they envision for the rest of us, the only people who will be able to own a car are the wealthy and powerful. Everyone else will be expected to use public transportation. Think back to Moscow in the days when the communists ruled the Soviet Union.

The Advanced Clean Cars II rule, set to take effect Jan. 1, comes amid a growing plethora of problems with EV’s. Car makers are stuck with an inventory of EV’s that nobody wants despite the government’s campaign to coerce people into EV’s. Major car companies are shuttering their EV production.

Congratulations to NJ for being late to the party. In fact, the party is over when it comes to EV’s.
