Even though the bulk of the trip took place in California, which has invested more heavily in electric vehicle infrastructure than any other state in the country by far, Farley admitted that the experience of finding good charging stations — and the delays caused by bad ones — were a major source of delay and hassle for customers.

- Does it mean “trust scientists”? Which scientists? They disagree, often vehemently. Which statements of theirs? Surely not all of them; scientists do not speak ex cathedra for “Science.”
- Does it mean “trust scientific institutions”? Again, which ones?
- Does it mean “trust scientific papers”? Any one paper can be wrong in its conclusions or even its methods. The study itself could have been mistaken, or the writeup might not reflect the study.
- And it certainly can’t mean “trust science news,” which is notoriously inaccurate...

A hero ignored!-----Fake ballots in Michigan - American Thinker
Fake ballots in Michigan - American Thinker - By Jack Gleason
"Muskegon, MI city clerk Ann Meisch is a hero. She noticed something odd about a woman dropping over 8,000 completed voter forms at the city clerk's office and did something about it. She made a phone call to the Muskegon Police Department and asked them to investigate.
Then, according to an article by the Gateway Pundit,
[o]n 10/21/20...Meisch, who has worked in city clerk offices for 33 years, noticed that "... in her opinion a quantity of the voter registration forms were highly suspicious and possibly fraudulent ... numerous forms appeared to have been completed by the same writer and upon initial examination, addresses on multiple forms were invalid or non-existent."
The MI State Police investigator assigned to the case spoke with the female suspect who explained that she was being paid $1150/week "to find un-registered voters and provide them with a form so they can get registered to vote or obtain their absentee ballot."
Information was sent to the FBI, which did nothing...
The Michigan State Police continued to investigate and issued a report that detailed a widespread and well funded effort to create fake registrations and absentee ballot forms. It "names 'GBI Strategies' as the organization engaged in what O'Halloran claims is widespread, systemic voter fraud. The Tennessee group is heavily connected to the Biden campaign and various Democrat campaign committees."...
The information is documented in a video that is surprisingly still found on YouTube.
Michigan State Senator Ruth Johnson, who is a former Secretary of State, told the Gateway Pundit: "My estimate is over 800,000 ballot applications were sent to non-qualified voters in Michigan, including many individuals who moved or died, and even some individuals who were underage or non-citizens...

Penzeys - (note his "About Republicans" link on the right of the company masthead)
"...The Republican departure from conservative values and embrace of what, from a distance, looks a whole lot like insanity didn’t happen by chance.
All of it has been intelligently crafted with the goal of preserving the position of those who profit from the inhumanity that is at the very roots of pretty much every problem we are facing.From the environment, to racism/discrimination, to health, to saving our democracy at home and growing it abroad, half the time Republicans are intentionally blocking the solution to the problems we face.
The other half of the time they are the problem we face...
The truth of our time is we’ve arrived at the point where there’s no way to respect the nonsense the Republican Party is promoting and have any hope of overcoming the problems we as a nation and we as a planet face...
What does any of this mean?

Confusion about Confabulations - Kip Hansen
"...But this intern, Teva D. Brender MD, fantasizes about having an AI ChatBot write some of her reports and discharge instructions and other paper work that increases the length of her work day. In her piece she makes the following statement about AI ChatBots:
“Finally, these programs are not sentient, they simply use massive amounts of text to predict one word after another, and their outputs may mix truth with patently false statements called hallucinations.”She gives a cite for that statement, a February 2023 NY Times article written by Kevin Roose titled: “A Conversation With Bing’s Chatbot Left Me Deeply Unsettled”.
In that article, Roose said: “[advanced A.I. chatbots] are prone to what A.I. researchers call
‘hallucination,’ making up facts that have no tether to reality.”Roose is not the only one to notice and worry about this: Google search “AI ChatBot hallucinations“...

A Texas university walked back its earlier announcement that it would shut down its diversity, equity, and inclusion offices to comply with Republican Governor Greg Abbott's new law, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.
In May, Abbott signed into law Senate Bill 17, which bans public, state-funded universities from having DEI offices that push differential or preferential treatment of individuals based on race, color, or ethnicity.
