A long list of grievances presented by the US ambassador has attracted a frosty reception in Budapest A keynote speech by the US ambassador to Hungary‚ David Pressman‚ sounded more like a “leftist activist” talk than a statement “worthy of an ambassador‚” State Secretary at Budapest’s foreign ministry Tamas Menczer has said. Pressman delivered the controversial speech on Thursday at the Central European University (CEU) in the capital at an event to mark the 25th anniversary of Hungary’s accession to the US-led NATO bloc. The envoy gave a long list of grievances plaguing ties between Washington and Budapest‚ ranging from Hungary’s stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict to its refusal to allow US troops stationed in the country to get local license plates for their family vehicles. Budapest is now finding itself “increasingly isolated” from the NATO “community of democracies‚” the ambassador claimed‚ insisting that links between the two countries should not depend on their “temporary” leaders. “We should be mutually concerned for the well-being of democratic values‚ institutions‚ and of our relationship – regardless of who has the privilege of temporarily leading either of our governments‚” the envoy stated.URGENT! Keep Alex Jones in the fight against the NWO! Please pray &; contribute at DefendJones.com today! Pressman also took personal jabs at Prime Minister Viktor Orban‚ criticizing him for viewing the US as Hungary’s “adversary‚” as well as accusing the country’s government of interfering “in a very blatant way” in the internal affairs of others‚ “all while decrying foreign interference here at home.” “PM Orban‚ who on the one hand baselessly claims the US government is trying to overthrow his government‚ publicly calls for the political defeat of the President of the United States and actively participates in US partisan political events‚” Pressman stated. The envoy also appeared to issue a thinly-veiled threat aimed at the Orban government‚ stating that while it “may want to wait out the United States government‚ the United States will certainly not wait out the Orban administration.” “While Hungary waits‚ we will act‚” Pressman warned. The speech was poorly received in Budapest‚ with Foreign Ministry State Secretary Menczer taking to Facebook to criticize the American envoy‚ suggesting his hostile remarks were not appropriate for his role at all‚ as international relations should actually be based on “mutual respect.” “Hungary has always had great respect for the United States‚ and it always will. However‚ today’s speech was not a speech worthy of an ambassador‚ but rather a speech by a leftist political activist‚” Menczer wrote. Pressman has been US ambassador to Hungary since late 2022‚ repeatedly finding himself at odds with the local government and making harsh statements about its policies. In January‚ for instance‚ he accused Budapest of harming the entire NATO bloc while helping Moscow with its actions. “PM Orban‚ who on the one hand baselessly claims the US government is trying to overthrow his government‚ publicly calls for the political defeat of the President of the United States and actively participates in US partisan political events‚” Pressman stated.

"The mayor‚ the commissioner and the governor said we gonna do something about the theft. They passed new legislation that they're going after people." The tide is turning in lawless progressive cities after leftist radicals in city halls have pushed disastrous social justice reforms and defunded the police that have sparked crime wave after crime wave.  According to one former Philadelphia Police Department officer‚ the mayor‚ the commissioner‚ and the governor are no longer tolerating the soaring thefts and out-of-control crime that have transformed some parts of the metro area into third-world-like conditions.  Philadelphia has joined the other large Blue Cities of sidewalks full of fentanyl drug addict zombies.

Law-abiding Americans across cities demand a return to law and order after half a decade of crime chaos.

In a video interview posted by X user Wall Street Apes‚ a Philadelphia police officer explains that law and order is returning but will be an uphill battle.  “The mayor‚ the commissioner and the governor said we gonna do something about the theft. They passed new legislation that they’re going after people.” “That’s not gonna happen anymore. Not the city of Philadelphia. You’re gonna get prosecuted‚ and it’s gonna be a felony. It ain’t gonna be on misdemeanor.” Interviewer: “Can you say something to the youth‚ please‚ about all this morning?” Officer “Well‚ all I have to say to the youth is put down the gun because if you come here with a gun‚ the chances are you’re not gonna make it home. I hate to say it like that‚ but we have to keep it real. This is killing us. I’ve never seen it like this before‚ where young people shoot up a bus depot station‚ 40 rounds‚ and shoot innocent people. Something must be done. I say this to the parents. Go in your children’s room‚ tear it apart and find that gun. Because when they kill somebody‚ that’s on you. You can’t say‚ well‚ my child ain’t you know what your children are doing.

"The company expects to reinvest a portion of the proceeds from the sale of EVs into the purchase of internal combustion engine vehicles to meet customer demand." CEO Stephen Scherr’s barely two-year ride with Hertz came to a screeching halt on Friday. In his wake‚ he leaves a company still working to recover from a big bet on electric vehicles gone bad. It will do so under new CEO Gil West‚ whose previous posts include executive roles at Delta Air Lines and the Cruise unit of General Motors.     Scherr‚ who came on board in February 2022 after 30 years at Goldman Sachs‚ ushered the company through its emergence from bankruptcy. Hertz’s EV push began in the previous year‚ with a splashy move to order 100‚000 Tesla Model 3 vehicles. After taking the reins of the Estero‚ Florida-headquartered company‚ Scherr doubled down on the green vision‚ committing to purchased another 65‚000 EVs from Polestar‚ a Swedish company.  Traveling in the US. @Hertz has rows &; rows of EVs that no-one wants to rent. They claimed I booked one when I didn't. Gold member &; they mess me around like this.I refused the EV &; eventually I got a real car. What a hassle.Go woke. Go broke. Rethinking my loyalty to Hertz.— FermiLevels 🚚🛻🚛🏎 (@FermiLevels) September 10‚ 2023 In December 2023‚ Hertz emphatically demonstrated that its massive EV push just wasn’t working out‚ throwing 20‚000 EVs into the used-car market to start a systematic liquidation planned to extend through 2024. “The company expects to reinvest a portion of the proceeds from the sale of EVs into the purchase of internal combustion engine vehicles to meet customer demand‚” Hertz said at the time‚ adding‚ “The company expects this action to better balance supply against expected demand of EVs.”Winter Sun Plus is NOW 25% off!

On that front‚ Tesla threw a wrench in Hertz’s financials by aggressively slashing prices across its product line‚ crushing the resale values of not only Teslas‚ but the entire EV market. Top-selling EV’s saw their secondary-market prices plunge by almost a third in 2023.  Poor resale value isn’t the only EV liability biting Hertz — the company also pointed to the high cost of collision repairs. “For context‚ collision and damage repairs on an EV can often run about twice that associated with a comparable combustion engine vehicle‚” Scherr noted in an October third-quarter conference call.  Guess the cost to repair this?$5‚000?$10‚000?$12‚000?NO….. estimate cost is $14‚000 😂No wonder why renting companies are ditching Tesla! $TSLA $TSLAQ pic.twitter.com/CcgiTLrnov— Little John 💎 (@biotechpain) January 17‚ 2024 Then there’s the issue of consumer demand. It’s fair to assume that most rental car customers don’t want their first EV experiment to come on a business or vacation trip‚ where they may be in an unfamiliar area and unenthused about spending 20 minutes at a recharging station on the way to the airport‚ to say nothing of the hassle of figuring out how the whole EV-thing works. There are many horror stories about consumers unpleasantly surprised to be issued an EV when they didn’t ask for one. Others say they picked up a car that was only half-charged and missing the charging cable. Earlier this month‚ Sen. Tom Cotton — one of the most sinister foreign-policy interventionists to ever walk Capitol Hill — decided to intervene in the rental car market‚ by introducing a bill that would make it illegal to force EVs on customers.  @Hertz Any help available? I’m on day three of rental and still can’t get help. I was given an EV (that I didn’t want) that can’t fast charge. The employee laughed when I called and said they know. I’m driving to and from the hospital every day and knew a car I can fuel up. 🙏— Stack (@SmyrnaStack) February 19‚ 2024 In a statement issued Friday‚ Hertz vice chair Tom Wagner said‚ “We are appreciative of Stephen’s contribution over the last two years‚ including on a number of key strategic initiatives.”  …but definitely not that EV one.  Alex Jones Warns – Beware the Ides of March

Prepare to have your minds blown ‚ especially if you have an Atari 7800! As we have just found through Liqmatrix‚ that during Jan of this year‚ OldStyle and Bobby Clark had released an update to their incredible work in progress Atari 7800 conversion/port of the Arcade game of ‘Bubble Bobble’. A game that has infuriated and thrilled us in equal measure on our home computers since its original release around the year of 1987 to 1989! To coincide with this news‚ while we wait for some up to date footage from Saberman‚ here’s some gameplay footage from last month of the game. [embedded content] Here’s the latest about the game from the forum link below. “It’s had a BIG update since the reveal with the addition of two more rounds (8 and 9)‚ bonus rounds‚ and practically ALL of the powerups have been mapped with special abilities or events.  There’s certainly a minor bug or two since all of the focus was on shoveling content in.  The game itself is still pretty raw and not quite optimized or finished in certain areas so occasionally there will be brief slowdown and gfx artifacts when things get hot and heavy‚ but generally speaking it controls well‚ is very playable and very “BB-like”. “For those unfamiliar‚ gameplay consists of shooting‚ trapping‚ popping trapped monsters and most importantly eating as many delicious treats as you can!  Popping multiple monsters at the same time is a combo‚ awarding more points.  A combo of three or more will also spawn random EXTEND letters which go toward earning 1up or spawning staffs.  Bonus point items and special/power up items spawn early in rounds.  If you blaze through rounds quickly then it’s possible to miss out on powerup and special items before they spawn so to get the most out of the demo just wait it out till they appear.  After several play-thrus the timing and where items spawn will be seared in your brain!” Links :1) Forum 2) Download The post Bubble Bobble looks great on the Atari 7800! appeared first on Old School Gamer Magazine.
