  1. Sparky Buses: Biden’s Solyndra.
    Joe Biden found an electric bus to love that is as frail as he.
    Notably, Biden’s soon-to-be Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm served on the board of Proterra and walked away with a $1.6 million profit on her shares in the company. (One of the Oligarchs Bernie Sanders is constantly ranting about.)
    Total government subsidies of this failed business estimated at over $500 million.

    One has to wonder if the engineering brain trust that crafted the balsa wood bus frames have moved on to bigger and better things – like aircraft.

    In hindsight, the claims made in this last article are particularly humorous, or tragic, depending on one’s point of view.
    “…two senior U.S. Senate Democrats have proposed spending $73 billion to electrify the nation’s 70,000 transit buses and other transit vehicles as part of a push to move the U.S. toward zero-emission transportation.”

  3. The Kennedy Center article is a super crappy piece. I really think this guy is making the mistake of shitting up hill.

  4. Thank you for posting The Sunday Prayer and News from the Man Cave. I have posted previously that I am a white woman in her 75th year who has moved from Regina to Ottawa to be closer to family and old friends. I DO miss Saskatchewan, I had a very good life there and I always think about the farming community. The previous years were very dry (hence the forest fires) but this past Spring and Summer were very wet and after seeing some of Quick Dick McDick’s postings, there were many instant sloughs on the land. I truly hope that harvest is going well. Without the farming community, life would be very difficult for people in the cities.
    As to the Kennedy Center, I really do not care. As the article states, if the Democrat Party is so incensed, then the Kennedy family can step up to the plate and do the renovations/repairs. After all, it is their family name on the building. As well, I also agree with the writer about the patriarch, Old Joe Kennedy. He was a nasty, nasty man. The Old Testament noted that the sins of one generation could last up to 7 generations (140 years). By that reckoning, the Kennedy family is only on generation 4.

    1. $2M in funding … $500K paid out. What happened to the rest of the $$? $1.5M in the pockets of program administrators? Speaking of fraud … best to investigate everyone involved in this entire scam.
