The media is pretending they were betrayed by the Biden campaign. They want you to believe they had no idea, despite all the insane comments by Joe Biden for four years and longer.

‘even if it's a legend, the destinies of our village and this sword are linked’

Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced recently that Virginia would decouple from California’s onerous mandate requiring all new vehicles sold in the commonwealth to be electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles (EVs) by 2035. This regulation—a ban on sales of new gas, diesel and traditional hybrid vehicles—promulgated by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), would have taken effect as soon as next year when 35% of all model year 2026 cars sold would be required to meet California’s definition of “zero emission.”   This all stems from a 2021 bill championed by then-Gov. Ralph Northam and his allies in the General Assembly. They enacted policy directing the Virginia Air Pollution Control Board (APCB) to adopt regulations tying Virginia law to California’s vehicle emission standards. And if you can believe it, the law was intentionally exempted from the Administrative Process Act, denying Virginians any opportunity to give input on the regulatory process and dodging larger economic review for the policy. It sounds brazen, but that’s exactly what happened: the previous administration in Richmond put Virginia vehicle policy in the hands of Californians. In November 2022, California finalized entirely new regulations at the direction of their Gov. Gavin Newsom. Under the new California policy, selling any new gas, diesel, flex-fuel or traditional hybrid cars and trucks would be unlawful and subject to severe penalties, whether in California or in states aligned with California. >>> Virginia Breaks Free From California’s Extreme Car Restrictions California’s gas car ban would have been devastating for Virginia drivers and small businesses and damaging to U.S. national security. Consumers would have paid dearly under the ban, facing higher costs in both the new and used car markets and finding more and more vehicles simply priced out of reach for families. Any compliance penalties levied on automakers—roughly $20,000 per vehicle—would also likely be passed on to Virginia consumers. The absurd and un-American mandate to “go electric” on California’s timeline would also have increased Virginia’s and the U.S. dependence on China, since China controls the global EV battery and mineral supply chain. Make no mistake: criticism of California’s gas car ban and EV mandate policies—and fervent opposition to the spread of those policies in the commonwealth of Virginia and to any other state—should not be construed as an indictment of EVs themselves. EVs are a good choice for many Americans, and if those cars and trucks work for a family’s needs and fit within their budgets, that’s wonderful. Families have every right to make the choice to buy an EV, but no government mandate should compel them toward that purchase or restrict their access to other vehicle options.  When the stakes are absolutely clear and the choice is between government mandates and consumer freedom, the right move is to err on the side of consumers. And that’s exactly what Youngkin did when he chose to end California’s control over the vehicles that can and cannot be sold in Virginia. Virginia drivers, not California regulators 3,000 miles away, should be able to choose for themselves which vehicles to purchase. When people are free to choose, they make decisions that work best for them, their businesses and their families.  Other states tethered to California’s EV mandate should follow Youngkin’s bold and necessary leadership and free their residents, too, from the tyranny of California’s gas car ban.

A whistleblower who helped expose the sex-change program at Texas Children's Hospital is speaking out about her faith and how it empowered her to come forward with the truth.Last month, registered nurse Vanessa Sivadge went public.'We had to affirm what God has deemed good — and that is the good and perfect design in men and women.'Sivadge was the second whistleblower to come forward about the sex-change program at Texas Children's Hospital. The first, Dr. Eithan Haim, has been indicted on four felony charges for allegedly violating medical privacy laws. Not only has Sivadge provided horrifying details about the sex-change program, but she has alleged that physicians at Texas Children's Hospital have committed Medicaid fraud by "illegally billing Medicaid for transgender procedures."Last summer, FBI agents showed up at Sivadge's house and, according to her, communicated veiled threats if she did not assist in their investigation into Dr. Haim.In a new interview with BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey, Sivadge explained how her Christian faith helped her overcome the frightening situation."It was a really difficult time where we had to rely on the Lord and just turn to him," she said.One of the Bible verses that has encouraged her through the "really difficult" situation, Sivadge said, is Ephesians 5:11, which reads, "Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.""I took that very literally," Sivadge explained. "What God designs, he defines, and this is not an issue that we should compromise on. This is a foundational Genesis 1 issue."Sivadge told Stuckey that she believes God brought her to a place where she was forced to depend on him. Citing Ephesians 2, Sivadge said she believes God prepared her in advance for the difficult work of standing up for the truth about biological sex."This was not an accident to God. And he knew this would happen a long time ago, and this is the good work that he's prepared in advance that I would do," she said."Reclaiming that truth and also just speaking the promises of God over myself — that God is ultimately my defender, that he's my protector, that Jesus is my advocate before God the Father, that nothing can snatch me out of his hand. Speaking those truths to the fear and the anxiety that the enemy wants to keep you in was so critical for me in the weeks that followed," Sivadge explained.Going even farther, Sivadge said Christians are called to defend God's truth no matter the cost."God is worthy of our trust no matter what happens," she said."So we knew that this was not the end of the story, that we had to speak out, that we had to affirm what God has deemed good — and that is the good and perfect design in men and women. His design for our gender and sexuality is good and beautiful and right. And we are called to affirm that no matter the cost," she explained.Fortunately, the FBI has left Sivadge alone since that one encounter last summer. Like Blaze News?
