This is What I Voted For. Hoping for More to Come

 

Wonderful News

On Thursday, the Trump administration finalized rules repealing the EPA’s endangerment finding — that dubious 2009 determination claiming six greenhouse gases threaten human health under the Clean Air Act. “We are officially terminating the so-called endangerment finding,” Trump announced, calling the policy exactly what it was: “disastrous.”

The EPA has become a millstone on our economy. Now many of these stultifying regulations can go away. The lingering question is, will they? I foresee judges blocking every effort as the leaches cling to their positions, income, and pensions.

 Kill Them, One and All

Cancer is a hot button for me. Over 60% of extended family, both paternal and maternal, has suffered with this plague.

 My fervent hope is any cancer fraudster roasts in hell for eternity. 

Wolves

This econazie wet dream is falling apart. It isn’t just the pissing away of taxpayer dollars, it is tough toenails for the wolves.

Will the proposed introduction of wolverines fare better?

Low Humor

If you are attackted to both men and women,  but no men or women are attackted to you, does that make you bi-yourself?

Car Story

Diesel

1983-1988 saw a number of small cars and trucks offered with diesel engines.

 One day a PFC stationed at Fort Lewis wandered onto our lot. After some conversation involving money, of which he had little, he landed on a 1983 Ford Escort 5 speed with a diesel engine. We did the test drive thing and went inside to do the paperwork.

As he was ready to leave, he said he planned to get a tune up kit and get rid of the rough idle!

 While not a complete soulless car peddler, I bit my tongue. Points.

 As you sat behind the steering wheel, the fuel gauge said, “Diesel Only”.

On both front fenders was a diesel emblem.

On the rear hatch was a diesel emblem.

 Partner, if you are so dumb you don’t know what “diesel” means you are beyond hope. 

 
As always, YMMV

When I was at Fort Benning back in the days of His Lordship, King Richard of Nixon, it was an unofficial rule that nobody below the rank of SP-4 was allowed to go car shopping in Columbus or Phenix City without a chaperone in the rank of E-6 or above. I was recently told that rule was still in effect.

I wonder if the auto manufacturers will release an ECU software update that will reverse the action of the stop-start system so that you have to press the button to activate it? The environazis can press it for virtue signaling points and the rest of can be rid of the headache.

I had the experience of driving a Diesel Chevette up to the Chicago Auto Auction for one of my dealership buddies. I shall not forget it.

The cancer stuff gets to my core.

A good rule. Sober them up first by making them price the insurance they will need just to bring the hooptie on post.

Check out the YouTuber "Car Wizard". You can buy a programmer that plugs into the OB2 port. It will deactivate the stop/start and engine management system on GM products. Probably others.

Those were dogs. I've written before about buying every one of the 83-86 diesels I could get and stashing them in my backyard. A Siberian fish processing owner would put into Seattle two to three times a year. He would buy everyone I had and load them on the deck of his 500' ship and take them to Siberia.

Only two houses in that development weren't in the HOA being older. The HOA Karens were always in an uproar. My neighbor did concrete flat work and operated out of his house. Big back yards!

I've got a 2023 Toyota with that POS system on it.

One of the poultry companies headquartered in northwest Arkansas had bought a fleet of V8 diesel cars and pickups in that time period and they'd turned out to be real dogs. A buddy of mine owned a salvage yard in that area and they were buying every 350 Chevy gas engine he could get his hands for engine swaps.

The laughable spin from these Pathetic Progressives on Davey’s board of Retards affected by the disease known as being Brainwashed. As They Are Wiping up the Illegals, Criminals, Deadbeat Lesbo’s, the “He-She” Boy’s, and the Child Rapists. As Daddy Came to Town and Laid down the Law.
