“The Democrats refuse to vote for Voter I.D., or Citizenship. The reason is very simple — They want to continue to cheat in Elections. This was not what our Founders desired. I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future. There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not! Also, the People of our Country are insisting on Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" President Trump “We cannot let the Democrats get away with NO VOTER I.D. any longer. These are horrible, disingenuous CHEATERS. They have all sorts of reasons why it shouldn’t be passed, and then boldly laugh in the backrooms after their ridiculous presentations. If it weren’t such a serious matter, it would be considered a TOTAL JOKE! No Voter I.D. is even crazier, and more ridiculous, than Men playing in Women’s Sports, Open Borders, or Transgender for Everyone. Republicans must put this at the top of every speech — It is a CAN’T MISS FOR RE-ELECTION IN THE MIDTERMS, AND BEYOND! Even Democrat Voters agree, 85%, that there should be Voter I.D. It’s only the Political “Leaders,” Crooked Losers like Schumer and Jeffries, that have no shame, and explain why it’s “racist,” and every other thing that they can think of. This is an issue that must be fought, and must be fought, NOW! If we can’t get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order. I hope the Supreme Court realizes, as they “painstakingly” review the very simple topic of Country Saving Tariffs (Those same Tariffs that have been used, by other Countries, against the U.S.A. to drain it of its Treasure and Security — for many years!), and all sorts of other things, that are making our Country Rich, Powerful, and Safe Again, that these Corrupt and Deranged Democrats, if they ever gain power, will not only be adding two States to our roster of 50, with all of the baggage thereto, but will also PACK THE COURT with a total of 21 Supreme Court Justices, THEIR DREAM, which they will submit easily and rapidly when they immediately move to terminate the Filibuster, probably in their first week, or sooner. Our Country will never be the same if they allow these demented and evil people to knowingly, and happily, destroy it. Thank you for your attention to this matter — SAVE AMERICA!" President Trump

Bloomberg / February 13, 2026 Ford CEO Jim Farley has spoken to senior Trump administration officials about allowing Chinese automakers to build cars in America by partnering with US car companies. The rough framework discussed by Farley and Trump cabinet members last month would allow Chinese carmakers to manufacture vehicles in the US through joint ventures with domestic automakers in which the American company holds a controlling stake. The ventures would be structured so that both the Chinese and US partners would share profits and technology in the joint venture. The discussion took place days after President Trump said he’d be open to allowing Chinese automakers into the US if they built plants and hired Americans, saying “let China come in” during a January 13th speech at the Detroit Economic Club. Chinese competitors gaining a foothold in America would be a watershed moment with massive implications for domestic automakers, their supply chains and consumers. China’s carmakers have rapidly gained market share in Europe, Mexico and South America with lower-cost models that feature advanced electric-vehicle batteries and infotainment systems. They also receive significant government subsidies and can offer technology at low prices in part because they tolerate slim margins and losses, giving them a competitive edge that western rivals struggle to match. Trump’s January comments surprised Detroit’s automakers, who’d felt formidable trade barriers erected by the US would keep Chinese automakers out of the country long enough to allow them to catch up on China’s lead in electric vehicles, batteries and other automotive technology. General Motors Co. has told the Trump administration that the company opposes a Chinese entry to the market, one of the people said. GM has argued that existing companies would lose market share and a flow of parts from China could have a devastating effect on North American suppliers. Ford has been open to working with Chinese companies. Farley has sought to partner with Chinese carmakers and battery makers to learn from them, while at the same time developing its own low-cost electric vehicle coming in 2027 that aims to be competitive with China’s BYD, the world’s top seller of EVs. Ford recently held talks with BYD about expanding a battery-supply partnership and explored a manufacturing partnership in Europe with China’s Geely. In December, Ford expanded a licensing agreement with Chinese battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL) from building cells for electric vehicles to also manufacturing stationary power sources for utilities and data centers.

The January Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed inflation slowed to an annual rate of 2.4 percent in January, down from 2.7 percent in December. It's the lowest level in 9 months, and matches the level economists expected.

This parallels my assumption. I imagine CVN77 is or soon will be headed across the pond. .

Correct.

President Trump has reversed a key Obama-era scientific ruling that underpins all federal actions on curbing planet-warming gases. "This radical rule became the legal foundation for the Green New Scam, one of the greatest scams in history." The so-called 2009 "endangerment finding" alleged that a range of greenhouse gases were a threat to public health. It's became the legal bedrock of federal efforts to rein in emissions, especially in vehicles. The White House calls the reversal the "largest deregulation in American history", saying it would make cars cheaper, bringing down costs for automakers by $2,400 per vehicle. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/02/12/epa-chief-lee-zeldin-repeals-holy-grail-climate-change-religion-largest-act-deregulation-history-united-states/ The EPA first took a stance on the impacts of greenhouse gases in 2009, in the first year of Obama's first term. The EPA decided that 6 key planet-warming greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, were a danger to human health. With a divided Congress unable to agree on legislation to tackle rising global temperatures, the EPA finding became central to federal efforts to rein in emissions in the years that followed. The endangerment finding has served as the lynchpin of US regulation of greenhouse gases. That includes motor vehicles, but also power plants, the oil and gas sector, methane from landfills, and aircraft. It runs the gamut, all of the standards for each of the sectors is premised on this one thing.

Who is writing the "script" used by the democrats? Minnesota AG Keith Ellison clearly isn't qualified for his position. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/02/12/josh-hawley-calls-for-indictment-minnesota-ag-keith-ellison-ties-somali-fraudsters/ . . It depends? geez

The President is ending his immigration crackdown in Minnesota. Border Czar Tom Homan announces here 'I have proposed and President Trump has concurred that this surge operation conclude. Twin Cities and Minnesota in general are and will continue to be much safer for the communities here because of what we have accomplished under President Trump's leadership.' Homan notes that local police and elected leaders have made deals with ICE to allow the agents to make arrests in jails. .

Ford CEO Jim Farley has been invited to join McDonald’s board of directors, and apparently plans to do so. As much as I like Jim, he has 10 full plates at Ford now. Taking time out to sit on the board of McDonald’s is absurd.

President Trump is considering exiting the North American trade pact (NAFTA 2.0). The President has asked his administration why he shouldn't withdraw from the agreement. Great news. Ross Perot was right.

And yet, the intent of the wording is obvious. The wording doesn't state both legal residents and illegal aliens, since there obviously shouldn't be any illegal aliens on U.S. soil.

The census is a count of legal residents in the US. Most are citizens while some are green card holders, but they are all legal residents. There shouldn't be any illegal residents on US soil.

The Republicans have had to file a lawsuit to prohibit the U.S. Census Bureau from counting people who are in the U.S. illegally during the 2030 census. Why should they even have to do that? Doesn't it go without saying? Immigrant rights groups say “That unlawful request would distort representation for millions of Americans and shake the foundations of our representative democracy. What? The Republicans are only talking about illegal immigrants (not Americans) who shouldn't be on U.S. soil to begin with. The census would apply to legal immigrants.

Reuters - Becky Ringstrom was heading home after following federal immigration officers in her gray Kia SUV in suburban Minneapolis when she was boxed in by ICE vehicles and arrested by agents. After the arrest, the 42-year-old mother of seven later said she was transported to Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in downtown Minneapolis where an officer gave her a citation charging her under a federal law that criminalizes impeding law enforcement. Her name and photo were added to a government database. The arrest of Ringstrom became the latest detention of one of thousands of local activists for violating Title 18, Section 111 of the U.S. Code, a catch-all charge for anyone who “forcibly assaults, resists, opposes, impedes, intimidates, or interferes” with a federal officer conducting official duties. The statute can be charged as a felony or misdemeanor. As a felony, it carries up to 20 years in prison (penalties beyond eight years are reserved for people who use “a deadly or dangerous weapon” or cause an injury). The Trump administration has prosecuted at least 655 people under that charge. How does a "mother of 7" have the spare time to run around obstructing ICE vehicles? Unless she's getting paid? In addition to collecting tax-payer funded benefits for 7 kids?

The rest of the world runs 24V in heavy trucks and zero issues. It’s actually better. Leave it to the EPA to sabotage proven engineering.
