Never heard of Casey Putsch. Tucker Carlson interviews him about his car, so I looked a bit further.

Casey Putsch designed a diesel car that gets 104 miles per gallon – New York to LA on one tank – and goes zero to sixty in five seconds. But no car company wants to make it. Why is that?

And here's a video where he shows his road test of his car.

So there it is. Does his car really do what he says? It appears so, but this hasn't been independently verified. However, he does do a road test with Teslas, Corvette, and the Viper. All of these cars are considered fast cars, but they aren't any better than what he shows here. For what it is worth, ya'll.

Is Elon Musk's Business Empire Collapsing?

 

There may well be cracks developing. However, a lot of this latest bad PR is a result of people ( and nations ) who have an axe to grind. However, that doesn't explain it all. There are some problems developing.

 

SpaceX seemed to be the most promising of Musk's ventures. I don't care that much about Tesla, but even that could be turned around. Mainly for this commentary, SpaceX practically owns the launch business. Nobody can touch their resuable first stages, and the fully reusable Starship could revolutionize the space industry. At the moment, things might be a bit dicey, and the warning lights are flashing on the dashboard. If Musk isn't careful, he could blow it. Just my opinion. The video below seems to leave you with a "yes" to the question being posed. I'm not so sure he is in trouble, but he could get there.

New York Post Editorial

 

I suppose it would be okay to editorialize on an editorial.

 

The editorial says to forget the 51st state. That much I agree with. But there's more. It also says there should be a common market. Hmmm. Maybe.

It would appear that the bulk of the population would prefer a Euro-centric type existence, as opposed to an American one. There's a lot of those type already in the USA, so there's that going for it. The common market idea was a European one.

Should we strive for that? Not if we end up with a bloated centralized un-elected state that supercedes the sovereignty of the states of which it is composed. A common market could be replaced with a trading treaty. But we have one of those already. Therefore, there is no need.

Solar power beamed from space! New start up demonstrates its tech.

Perhaps this can power a LOX-LEO spacecraft.

If gases could be harvested on the edge of space, as opposed to launching it from the ground, it would reduce the number of launches needed to power a spacecraft to destinations far away-- such as Mars.

So I jipped it from the latest What about it video embedded below:

Oh, Canada

3/28/25:

Via CTH, I noticed this video from our "friends" up north. Once again, it appears that they are taking the exactly wrong-headed approach towards Trump. Instead of negotiating a better tariff structure and security arrangements within NATO, these jackasses are taking a hostile and aggressive tone toward Trump. Trump has endured this kind of thing from the beginning and is becoming stronger all the time. It would seem that these people would learn, but they don't learn. So be it.

2/28/25:

 



Boom! Here's how Canada is totally screwing up. Told by a Canadian, so there.

2/24/25:

They really ARE screwing up. That's why they'll lose.

If these people were what they think they are, this wouldn't have happened in the first place. Reality hits hard, bro.



2/23/25:

If the pattern holds, Trump will win again

Maybe the pattern won't hold. But let's identify the pattern. This requires something that Trump's adversaries don't do, which is to actually think. The way the Canadians are acting, and the Liberals here in the USA are acting, he's going to destroy them. He's going to destroy them while not even breaking a sweat.

But Trump had to get the nomination in 2016. If he didn't get the nomination back then, he doesn't win. If he didn't get the nomination in 2016, then he wouldn't have gotten it two more times. The point is that the GOP Establishment had the first crack at him, and failed miserably. Then the Democrats got a crack at him, and supposedly beat him in 2020. But in doing so, they are in the process of destroying themselves. That's a big hint right there. Trump gets his enemies to implode.

How does he do that? It's not like he's changed over the years. Take a look on YouTube. He hasn't exactly been hiding out all these years. If you look at what he said in the past, it was the same thing that he's been saying all along. Think about that. For forty years, they've been asking him about America and possibly running for President, and he's saying the same thing the whole time. But they couldn't stop him when he finally said something different, and that he WOULD run. They have no clue about how to handle the guy. No clue at all. You'd think after all that time to think about it, these guys could do a lot better, but they couldn't. They still can't.

In trying to stop Trump, they just destroyed themselves. Trump got them to do that. But how? Does anybody really know how he does it? Evidently not, but you can watch the way they act, and it does appear that their reaction is what causes them to fail. Trump gets them to react in self-destructive ways.

The Democrats have destroyed their credibility. The GOP Establishment has destroyed its credibility. Now he's got Canada doing it.

The result will be the same. Canada will fail. Trump will win out.

Why? I think he drives them bonkers. In a world like we live in, going bonkers is the way to disaster. Trump is driving the Canucks out of their friggin' minds. They may not know it now, but they are on the way down. That is, unless they are somehow different that everybody else Trump has conquered. The Canucks have given every indication that they've got no clue, either.

The fatal flaw

 

The video doesn't say exactly what the fatal flaw is. Maybe because there are plenty of flaws in that sphere. The one that hasn't gotten the play that the other have is featured, so maybe that's what it is. It is the planet wide dust storms that frequent the place every five years or so.

 

Such a problem will make solar power useless for weeks at a time. In that case, Mars will need nuclear power. But you don't hear about that much, if at all.

Here's a piece from the so-called "Moderate Voice".  What is "moderate" about this???  There is just one amorphous mob called the Democrat party now.  They aren't capable of moderation.  The author is Dana Milbank, who promised to eat his own words if Trump got the GOP nomination in 2016.  Evidently, he is also capable of being WRONG, and crazy ( his own words).

He's not promising to eat his own words this time.

9:00 am:

Here is a long essay that expounds upon the issue.  I didn't bother reading all of it.  Why not?  It is probably too long, and besides, the general idea is stated early in the essay.  The rest is just more examples of the same.

6.5.19:

( an old laugh-in gag )


But it is no joke.  There is one good reason to fight back against the left.  The left will claim that you have no right to judge, but the left doesn't apply that standard to themselves.  So, why can't you judge?

Not Christian?  Somehow, I think this is meant to disarm those who would fight back otherwise.  It is an Alinsky tactic.  ( Alinsky said to make your opponents live up to their own standards. ) After all, if you judge, then how can you be a good Christian?  Doesn't it say in the New Testament "judge not, and be not judged"?  However, there is a moral bargain made between those who say that you cannot judge in any case.  That would mean nobody judges nobody.  For if you cannot, then neither can they.  But if they can, then so can you.  If they break the moral bargain, then all bets should be off.

Generally speaking, it is weak to allow yourself to pushed around by bullies.  If the left has gotten this far, it is with bullying tactics.  The best way to cope with the bully is to stand up to him.

How Texas joined the Union, and some modern developments

There's talk about adding new states these days. The territories aren't even in US jurisdiction, but that hasn't stopped it before. An example of that is the annexation of Texas.

By the way, all of this is based upon memory of how it was taught in school back in the day when I was going to school in Texas.

Texas was annexed by JOINT RESOLUTION in the US Congress. Sam Houston preferred a treaty, but a treaty could not pass the US Senate. Indeed, an annexation resolution passed by only ONE vote. There was a sectional controversy going on in those days, and the North opposed it on the grounds that Texas would join the Union as a slave state. Not to mention the fact that Mexico threatened war if the USA annexed Texas.

The Resolution passed anyway, and was sent to the Republic of Texas for approval. There was a popular vote taken on it, and the people of Texas approved. But what may not be commonly known, the President of Texas, Anson Jones, worked with the Mexicans to add an option to the annexation vote. Mexico offered to recognize Texas' independence if Texas would not join the American Union. The people of Texas voted the Mexican offer down, something like two to one. Upon annexation, there was a war, and Mexico lost. The Mexicans also lost a lot of territory in the West which eventually became the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and not to mention the parts that Texas claimed ( which was a bit of stretch) that included the modern states of Colorado, Kansas and Wyoming.

There was significant consequences of the annexation. Civil War came just 15 years after Texas entered the Union. The annexation aggravated an already touchy situation in the United States. That's because a lot of territory was below the Mason-Dixon line, and the South wanted more slave states. California joined the Union as a free state. This was one of many factors why the South wanted to secede from the Union. They were losing power in the Congress. In particular, they were losing power in the US Senate.

So what's the point? The addition of new states by Joint Resolution is precedented. It can happen again. It can also bring about a lot of unintended consequences.

Greenland cannot be a state. As for Canada, if any part of it joins, it's going to have political consequences that may not be forseeable at the moment. If Alberta joined as a territory, that might be a better option. Statehood could be decided later. Even though it is legal under Canadian law to leave their union, there would be a significant question of what to do about the lands in Alberta, and who owns those lands. Would Alberta control all their territories, or would the Canadian government claim those lands?

There might be a possibility of Alberta joining, but at the moment, I think their answer to that proposition would still be a "no". I'd be just fine if that were the case. However, if Alberta joined, then who knows what will come next. More provinces joining up? I wouldn't like that one. Too many unanwered questions.

The View from the looney bin

 

It isn't mentioned explicitly here, but I think a lot of what is being complained about is the recent shutdown fight. The GOP always lost these fights, but this time the Republicans won. That fact has these women having a big meltdown, especially Sunny Hostin.

Something very familiar about this

Marxist Paradigm--

No sincere conservative should use it.

The so-called "political spectrum" does not exist. There seems to be a literature about this. It isn't unique here, but I never claimed to have come up with it myself. I credit Ronald Reagan's "The Speech" for it. There's no left versus right, but only a struggle for freedom--to paraphrase The Gipper.

If you don't want your Tesla, I'll take it off your hands

 

A humorous thought there. These people wish to convince Tesla owners that it is a bad idea to own their cars. If you are convinced that owning a Tesla is really bad, I'll be happy to take it off your hands.

But I won't give you anything for your car. It might be worthwhile to have one if it costs me nothing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have one. But getting one for no cost, that may be good enough for me to take the leap. It would have to be nearby as well. I won't expend the effort or expense to go get one which is a long way from here.

This is a joke of course. But who knows? There are people out there who would believe anything.

Bill Maher: "Game over" for Dems

6:36 PM:

 

The discussion goes into the areas that leave me exasperated. For instance, the Ezra Klein fellow said that the GOP is autocratic. Well, I don't know about the GOP, but as far as I'm concerned, the autocrats are the Democrats. But they claim that the GOP is autocratic. I don't vote for autocrats. They're not autocrats, the GOP'ers. Most of the time, they're just Democrat wannabes.

If there's any reason the Dems lose, it is because they are in some sort of alternate universe, which is where nobody else is. I'm not sure that they actually get many legitimate votes. Those who vote for them are as deluded as they are, or they are being arm-twisted in some way into voting for them. Democrat jurisdictions are like totalitarian regimes that vote in large blocks for the those in power, because if they don't, they know that they'll be punished. The punishment is doled out from amongst their own, not the opposition. The GOP is qualitatively different from the Democrats. Calling them autocrats is just more of their absurdity. Their absurdity is why they lose.
