Pete Buttigieg will leave his post as Transportation Secretary having spent $7.5 BILLION to build 8 EV charging stations.
His legacy will be squandering billions on something nobody wants, while millions struggle to afford the things they need.

Why did you limit comments? 🤔 Interesting. Bottom line is if I ever put my hand on a Code Pink activist your org would be flipping out. You crossed a personal boundary that should NEVER be crossed. Point blank period. Instead of diverting attention from the real issue take responsibility and own it.
⚡🇨🇵 Marine Le Pen erupts into French Parliament:
“I don’t understand why foreigners who break the law are allowed to stay here.
What compels us to keep them?”
251 years ago today, a group of Scots-Irish frontiersmen in a log courthouse in Charlotte, North Carolina voted to nullify every British law on the continent, raise their own army, and declare anyone who took orders from the King "an enemy to his country."
This was 14 months before the Declaration of Independence. The ink on Lexington and Concord was barely dry.
Charlotte in 1775 was not a city. It was 20 cabins clustered around an intersection of two dirt roads called Trade and Tryon. The county had been settled mostly by Presbyterian Scots-Irish who had been chased out of Ulster by English landlords a generation earlier and were in no mood to take orders from another one. When word of the fighting in Massachusetts reached the backcountry, Colonel Thomas Polk, the great uncle of a future President, called every militia captain in Mecklenburg to the courthouse.
They drafted 20 resolutions. The third one read: "All Laws and Commissions confirmed by, or derived from the Authority of the King or Parliament, are annulled and vacated."
They were not asking for representation. They were not petitioning for redress. They were declaring British law dead on the ground in their county. Then they raised a regiment, elected Polk colonel, and started buying gunpowder.
This is where it gets strange.
For decades, North Carolinians insisted that 11 days earlier, on May 20, 1775, the same men had adopted an even more radical document: a full Declaration of Independence, predating Jefferson by 14 months and using language so similar to the 1776 Declaration that Jefferson must have plagiarized it.
Thomas Jefferson, when shown a copy in 1819, called it "spurious." John Adams was less sure. The original was supposedly lost in a house fire in 1800. No contemporary newspaper printed it. But every old man in Mecklenburg County in 1819 remembered hearing it read aloud.
The state of North Carolina sided with the old men. The date May 20, 1775 is on the state flag. It is on the state seal. It is stamped on every license plate in the state.
Historians have argued for 200 years about whether the May 20 declaration ever existed. The May 31 Resolves are not in dispute. They are real, they survived in print, and they are arguably the most radical statement made anywhere in the colonies before Lexington Green had even stopped smoking.
The Revolution was not declared in Philadelphia in July 1776. It was declared in a log courthouse in Charlotte 251 years ago today, by men whose names no one remembers.

Nous avons perdu notre grandeur, notre rayonnement ; et nous perdons la main sur notre propre territoire, dans un pays qui se tribalise.
Il n'y a plus un seul territoire où l'on est à l'abri de la violence : cette question sera au cœur de la prochaine élection présidentielle.
À Paris, en Île-de-France comme partout sur le territoire, les violences et les dégradations se multiplient.
Des bandes s’en prennent aux biens publics, aux commerces et aux forces de l’ordre. Le mode opératoire est toujours le même : caillasser, détruire, piller.
Soutien total à nos policiers, gendarmes et pompiers qui assurent la protection du pays face à une violence d’atmosphère devenue insupportable.
L’autorité de l’État doit être assurée partout.
