Eight states — California‚ Rhode Island‚ Maryland‚ Massachusetts‚ New Jersey‚ New York‚ Oregon‚ and Washington — and the District of Columbia are now on board with plans to ban the sale of gas-powered vehicles within the next decade. The plans to phase out the vehicles and switch to electric and hybrid vehicles come as the Biden administration continues to pursue its lofty climate goals in a struggling economy. The administration‚ for example‚ wants half of all new cars and trucks sold in 2030 to be zero-emission‚ despite sputtering EV sales. All 8 of the states and D.C. have adopted the Advanced Clean Cars II rule‚ and will have an outright ban on the sale of new gas-powered vehicles after 2035. California was the first to adopt the rule‚ aiming to have 35% of new vehicle sales emit zero emissions by 2026‚ and boosting that goal to 68% by 2030. According to the California Air Resources Board‚ the regulation overhauls the state’s “growing zero-emission vehicle market and robust motor vehicle emission control rules and augments them to meet more aggressive tailpipe emissions standards and ramp up to 100% zero-emission vehicles.” As noted by Money‚ the states’ plans to ban gas-powered vehicles have generally not required votes from lawmakers‚ but have been advanced with support from governors and environmental regulators. The EV market has struggled in recent months‚ as highlighted by The Daily Wire. Ford‚ for example‚ had to cut 1‚400 employees from its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center‚ rolled back the planned production number of the electric F-150 Lightnings in half‚ and slashed $12 billion in EV investments. President Biden‚ however‚ is not slowing down when it comes to targeting the gas-powered vehicle industry. Earlier this month‚ Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set new eye-popping regulations in an effort to increase the number of electric vehicles on the road. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP The new EPA rules set emission standards for vehicles made between 2027 and 2032 and would eliminate more than 7 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions‚ setting off concerns across the nation. For example‚ Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) railed against the EPA’s move‚ calling it both “reckless” and “ill-informed.” “The federal government has no authority and no right to mandate what type of car or truck Americans can purchase for their everyday lives‚” the senator said. “This reckless and ill-informed rule will impose what is effectively an EV mandate without ensuring the security of our supply chains from nations like China and without a realistic transition plan that addresses our domestic infrastructure needs.” Related: Ford Cuts Production Of Electric Truck They Touted As The Future; Hiring Hundreds To Build More Gas Vehicles

A university in Illinois has received a grant to promote “racial healing” and will hire a diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion (DEI) consultant to revise its nursing program. The Department of Nursing at Elmhurst University received a $25‚000 grant to hire the consultant to “ensure its Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) curriculum fully integrates diversity‚ equity and inclusion concepts‚” the university said in a press release. Becky Hulett‚ director of the school’s MSN and Doctor of Nursing Practice programs‚ said in the press release that the grant would “help us come up with the concepts we want to measure in our curriculum‚ how to measure those concepts‚ then integrate them into our curriculum.” “We’re hoping to get people more comfortable talking and learning about the intersectionality of our lives and society‚” she added. The grant came from the Healing Illinois initiative‚ which the state describes as a program “designed to support communities across Illinois to begin or continue the work of racial healing in their communities.” “The ongoing oppressive and structural tactics that uphold systemic racism and inequities highlight the need for racial healing‚ and the need to address the underlying systems that have created the conditions where vast racial disparities are allowed to exist‚” the website for the program says. “As we move ahead with the work of systemic change‚ we must also lay the groundwork for community healing‚ acknowledging the harm done to communities of color and providing the space for healing.” The Healing Illinois program is set to give out up to $4.5 million in grants to promote “racial healing activities.” The program lists four “major goals” for the initiative: Build knowledge and understanding of racial healing and equity in communities across the state Strengthen trust and relationship building‚ among the residents of Illinois Expand opportunities for communities and individuals to begin to heal from the harms caused by racism Increase awareness and media engagement focused on racial healing and equity Laura Morgan‚ a retired nurse who works for the non-profit Do No Harm‚ told The College Fix that Elmhurst’s announcement was “disappointing.” “While it’s not surprising to see this type of indoctrination happening in an Illinois university‚ it’s still disappointing‚ especially when a private university is accepting public funds to support it‚” Morgan told the outlet. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Morgan also said that “[w]hile several states have taken measures to remove DEI from their institutions of higher education‚ Illinois continues to plunge headlong into institutionalizing divisive race-based ideology through its taxpayer-funded entities like the Department of Human Services.” She also criticized the program for having little to do with nursing. “This grant contains all the well-worn language about systemic racism and inequity and seeks to create ‘racial healing practitioners.’ This is not nursing; it’s engaging in radical initiatives that seek to create social justice activists rather than nursing leaders‚” she told the Fix.

Former Transportation Secretary Jim Burnley‚ who served in the Reagan administration‚ discussed how the investigation “should proceed” in the coming months after the partial bridge collapse in Baltimore early Tuesday morning. Fox News host Laura Ingraham spoke with Burnley after a container ship rammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge‚ causing it to break apart. At least half a dozen people are presumed dead. “You were the transportation secretary in like a golden age of that department in my view‚ and I’m not saying it in a biased fashion‚” said Ingraham‚ who was a speechwriter in the Reagan administration. “You were an expert on so many things but tell us what happens next‚ or what should happen next in this mess of a situation involving a critical port?” she asked. “First let me mention the six apparent fatalities‚ apparently all highway maintenance workers. That’s one of the most dangerous and under-appreciated jobs in America‚” Burnley said. “Usually‚ it’s motorists that threaten them and in this case‚ a bridge comes down.” In the segment‚ which was highlighted by the Daily Caller‚ Burnley went on to talk about the National Transportation Safety Board‚ an independent federal agency tasked with determining the probable causes of transportation accidents and issuing safety recommendations. “The way this should proceed‚ and I expect it will proceed‚ is the investigation will be led by what I believe is the most credible agency in the United States government – that’s the National Transportation Safety Board‚” he said. “It is bipartisan. In fact its most recent appointee was chief of staff at DOT [Department of Transportation] during the Trump administration‚” Burnley said. “It has a highly esteemed group of subject matter experts‚ it will call on the various federal agencies at DOT‚ at DHS [Department of Homeland Security] – the Army Corps of Engineers‚ in this case‚ will be involved.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Burnley surmised that it will “probably take quite a few months” before investigators reach their “bottom line conclusions” in looking into the Francis Scott Key Bridge incident. “But that’s where we should all be focused‚ is on that agency and what it concludes‚” he said. “It will make recommendations that I hope both the Executive Branch and Congress will take very seriously‚ whatever they are.”

In recent years‚ the issue of illegal immigration has become a hot topic in the United States. While some may view it as a humanitarian crisis‚ others see it as a threat to our nation's security and well-being. As a conservative‚ it is my duty to shed light on this pressing issue and present the facts that the mainstream media often ignores. In this article‚ we will delve into the true impact of illegal immigration and the danger it poses‚ as revealed by an exclusive report from the conservative news outlet‚ The Gateway Pundit. According to the report‚ California Governor Gavin Newsom and investigative journalist Christopher Bergquam have joined forces to expose the terrifying truth behind the influx of lawless illegal immigrants in Chicago. Must see! Outside of one of Mayor Johnson’s measles outbreak‚ illegal alien shelters in Chicago‚ Illinois‚ three illegal thugs were not happy when we started filming them. After doing our interview on War Room with Steve Bannon‚ we were walking back to our cars when we noticed… pic.twitter.com/kL0ITMihoB — Ben Bergquam – Real America’s Voice (RAV-TV) News (@BenBergquam) March 21‚ 2024 These individuals‚ often labeled as "undocumented‚" have been wreaking havoc in the city‚ committing heinous crimes with little to no consequences. But why is this happening? The answer lies in the city's far-left policies that prioritize protecting these criminals over the safety of its own citizens. It is alarming to think that a major American city is being overrun by criminals who have no regard for the law or the safety of others. And yet‚ this is just one example of the consequences of illegal immigration that are often swept under the rug by liberal politicians and their allies in the media. But we cannot turn a blind eye to the truth any longer. The Gateway Pundit's investigation has uncovered the disturbing reality that these individuals‚ who are supposed to be seeking a better life in our country‚ are actually posing a threat to our communities. NBC keeps asking Chicago how much they are spending to shelter illegal aliens. Chicago provided the numbers for 9 of the 27 shelters in the city: 1. The Inn: $344‚000 weekly (1.5k beds)2. Pilson: $280‚000 weekly (2k illegals)3. Ogden: $150‚000 weekly (1k illegals) And this… pic.twitter.com/iWU9r7Zd0g — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) March 26‚ 2024 But it's not just in Chicago where the consequences of illegal immigration are being felt. In a shocking development‚ a far-left New York judge‚ who also happens to be overseeing the Stormy Daniels case‚ has been exposed for her biased and politically motivated decisions. This is a clear example of how the liberal agenda has infiltrated the justice system‚ putting the interests of illegal immigrants above those of law-abiding citizens. It's a dangerous trend that must be stopped before it's too late. Another pressing issue that has been overshadowed by the media's biased coverage is the push for gun control‚ spearheaded by Vice President Kamala Harris. While she may claim to be advocating for the safety of our children‚ her recent photo-op at a school shooting memorial raises questions about her true intentions. Is she truly concerned about preventing such tragedies‚ or is she using them to push her own political agenda? As conservatives‚ we must not fall for this manipulation and continue to defend our constitutional right to bear arms. In conclusion‚ it is clear that illegal immigration is not just a matter of humanitarian aid or tolerance. It is a real threat to our country‚ our communities‚ and our safety. The exclusive report from The Gateway Pundit has shed light on this pressing issue and it is our responsibility to spread the truth and demand action from our elected officials. We cannot afford to let our country be overrun by lawless individuals who have no respect for our laws or our citizens. It's time to put America first and secure our borders‚ before it's too late.

Tyler Dashukewich lives in Plainville‚ Connecticut‚ with her young daughter. One day‚ her brother Vinnie was visiting with his dogs. While the dogs played in the yard‚ they noticed the animals seemed wary and skittish near the deck. When Vinnie looked under the deck‚ he got a big surprise! There was a bear under the porch! View this post on Instagram A post shared by bear.chanel (@bear.chanel) Tyler and Vinnie immediately contacted the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. However‚ the suggestions they received seemed cruel‚ so they didn’t follow the recommendations. During an interview‚ Tyle said‚ “They recommended pouring hot water on it or using air horns to scare it away‚ but we didn’t want to bother it so we let it stay there.” What happened next is a fantastic tale you might bearly believe! A video of the discovery was posted on TikTok and quickly went viral. They decided to let the bear stay under the porch for the winter. That was in late December 2022‚ and Tyler expected the bear might remain until mid to late March 2023. By January 1‚ 2023‚ they had named the bear Marty Bearnard. Marty the Bear got his own Instagram page and TikTok channel‚ and the family began documenting his hibernation. They installed a security camera under the deck to record Marty’s movements! Image from Instagram. Many images show the deck with a blue tarp over it. We aren’t sure‚ but the family may have added the tarp to keep rain from seeping between the deck’s boards. Marty seemed very comfortable all winter and became famous as the bear under the porch. He came out of hibernation in March‚ with the family posting his last video on March 10‚ 2023. What Happened To The Bear Under The Porch? Marty has been spotted around the neighborhood. Mostly knocking trash cans over and making a mess. However‚ he seems to have found a different spot to hibernate this year. Apparently‚ he now has a son‚ who is also into mischief. Image from TikTok. The family had another wildlife visitor‚ a squirrel stealing a clamp. We haven’t seen any updates on his antics‚ but he may return later. @marty.the.bear Found another friend outside trying to steal a metal clamp. What should we name him? #squirrel #wildlife #ct #newengland #wildfire #animal #animalsoftiktok #squirellgang ♬ Funny Background – Stefani We hope you enjoyed exploring Marty the Bear’s world. After gaining internet notoriety as the bear under the porch‚ Marty seems to have moved on in favor of different‚ less public‚ pastimes. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
