Fisker announced this week that it has filed for bankruptcy as the electric vehicle market continues to collapse amid low demand for the costly vehicles and various other concerns about electric cars. The company has struggled for a long time and had to stop production of its vehicles earlier this year to raise hundreds of millions of dollars that it needed to stay alive. The company later announced that it had “substantial doubt about Fisker’s ability to” stay in business. Fisker said in a statement on Tuesday that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is already in “advanced discussions with financial stakeholders regarding debtor-in-possession financing and the sale of its assets.” A spokesperson for the company claimed: “Fisker has made incredible progress since our founding, bringing the Ocean SUV to market twice as fast as expected in the auto industry and making good on our promises to deliver the most sustainable vehicle in the world.” “We are proud of our achievements, and we have put thousands of Fisker Ocean SUVs in customers’ hands in both North American and Europe,” the spokesperson added. “But like other companies in the electric vehicle industry, we have faced various market and macroeconomic headwinds that have impacted our ability to operate efficiently. After evaluating all options for our business, we determined that proceeding with a sale of our assets under Chapter 11 is the most viable path forward for the company.” The company’s struggles comes despite the Biden administration’s efforts to destroy the gas-powered car industry by implementing the most extreme pollution restrictions in history on automakers.

An executive of another EVs company was recently sentenced to federal prison for lying to investors about the abilities of his company. Consumers regularly have complained about the high prices of electric vehicles, their quality and reliability, the lack of charging stations, the time it takes to charge them, how inconvenient they can be, and their significantly decreased performance during cold weather conditions.

On today's Morning Joe, discussing Juneteenth, which commemorates the freeing of Texas slaves who didn't learn of the Emancipation Proclamation until two-and-a-half years after Lincoln issued it, Al Sharpton proclaimed: "The reason I think [Juneteenth] is so important today is that the issues in this election for people like me is around states' rights, where you have states, I was in Florida last night, trying to ban books, trying to stop women's right to choose. It's an issue that's still alive, states' rights against the Union, the federal government protecting women, protecting blacks, and protecting history studies and other things. "And, the ability to communicate. When you get your news from the wrong source, you can be freed and don't even know it." Yes, pity those poor, benighted, conservative souls, who don't get their news from objective sources—like Morning Joe! They're like slaves living in ignorance! If only they would come to the light of MSNBC, and learn that they are free—free, I tell you!   Sharpton spoke of "states' rights" as if we were back in the Jim Crow South. In fact, as Washington Post editor Charles Lane wrote in 2017, after the election of Donald Trump, "Liberals are learning to love states’ rights." Liberal states and municipalities lean on states' rights with their "sanctuary" areas that refuse to uphold federal laws, that try to adopt gun control in defiance of Supreme Court rulings, etc. As for the "wrong source" of news: looking at you FNC! Perhaps in a second Biden term, Al could be made News Source Commissar, with the authority to ban "wrong sources." Al Sharpton's Juneteenth analogy was stretched further than his old tracksuit from back in the day, as you can see. A few minutes later, as they discussed Trump's reported insults toward Milwaukee before the Republican convention there, Sharpton said "I think that we're getting ahead of ourselves. He has a sentencing four days before the convention, and who knows, the judge may have other accommodations prepared for him. I don't know. It's maybe unlikely, but I wouldn't rule it out!" Here's the transcript. MSNBC Morning Joe 6/19/24 6:02 am EDT JOE SCARBOROUGH: Good morning, and welcome to Morning Joe. It's a very -- it's going to be very hot. Wednesday, June 19th, Juneteenth! With us, let's bring in the host of Way Too Early, White House bureau chief for Politico, Jonathan Lemire, former director of communications for President Obama, Jen Palmieri, president of the National Action Network and host of MSNBC's Politics Nation, Reverend Al Sharpton, and professor at Princeton University, Eddie Glaude Jr. So good to have you all with us. We're going to get to just the record-setting heat first. But Rev, let's talk about today and Juneteenth, and why it's so important. AL SHARPTON: It's very important. Juneteenth is really a celebration, but also a reminder that after Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, those in Texas were not even aware they had been freed until June 19, 1865. For two-and-a-half years, slaves continued to work as slaves in Texas until the Union army came in and made it clear they were free, and enforced it. And the reason I think it's is so important, Joe, today is the issues in this election for people like me is around states' rights. Where you have states—I was in Florida last night—trying to ban books, trying to stop women's right to choose. It's an issue that's still alive, states' rights against the Union, the federal government protecting women, protecting blacks, and protecting history studies and other things. And, the ability to communicate. When you you get your news from the wrong source, you can be freed and don't even know it.

San Diego officials are accused in a federal class action lawsuit of violating the constitutional rights of homeless people when they cleared out encampments and threw away their possessions. 'They just keep wanting to keep kicking people while they're down ... It is crushing.' The lawsuit says that encampment sweeps violate due process rights of the homeless as well as equal protection rights. Officials ordered that encampments be cleared out in East County, but homeless people say they were not given enough notice to protect their possessions. Among the property cited in the lawsuit was a woman's walker and the cremated ashes of her son and husband. In another instance, a woman claimed that workers trashed birth certificates, photographs, jewelry, and her daughter's first tooth. Others said that police officers performing the sweeps sometimes sorted through the possessions in order to steal valuable items. “Defendants’ actions are making the homelessness crisis worse,” claimed the lawsuit, which added that officials' “constant and relentless threats of criminal punishment upon Citizens for being poor and unhoused are a cruel and ineffective approach that betrays a deep, willful misunderstanding of the problem.” Homeless advocate Michael McConnell applauded the lawsuit. "They just keep wanting to keep kicking people while they're down," McConnell told KFMB-TV. "It is crushing, and I've seen everything. I've seen them throw away people's wheelchairs and walkers and bicycles and IDs and medications." The lawsuit says that homeless people are ordered to remove their property, but they're not given any other options. "I don't think in any part of the region is there enough shelter for folks to get off the streets and have a safe place to store their belongings, so it's not like there's options for people, and there certainly isn't enough affordable housing for people," McConnell explained. 'Unfortunately, it just does absolutely nothing to help solve this issue.' The officials named as defendants in the lawsuit did not offer any comment about the matter. The litigation asks for the possessions to be returned and for unspecified compensation. The lawsuit may be settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, which is scheduled to decide a similar case later this year. "Unfortunately, it just does absolutely nothing to help solve this issue, and it just puts people in more dire straits trying to get out of it," McConnell said. Like Blaze News?

A former Biden White House appointee and current Democratic candidate for county commissioner in Fort Bend County, Texas, has just pulled a Jussie Smollet. Taral Patel was arrested for online impersonation last week after allegedly creating a fake social media account to post racist comments about himself. Patel aimed to garner sympathy and discredit his opponent. “They have to make up the hate crimes because they don’t exist,” Sara Gonzales comments, annoyed. “Gee, I wonder who’s going to win,” she scoffs. Patel had created a lengthy Facebook post in September in which he painted himself and his family as victims of a vicious, race-based smear campaign perpetrated by his opponent’s supporters, complete with made-up messages. In the messages, Patel called himself “monkey” and “subhuman” and attacked his own Hindu faith. “I would like Mr. Patel to know that this is MAGA country,” Blaze Media digital strategist Logan Hall laughs, referencing Jussie Smollet’s faux hate crime from years past. “Right, like did you not learn from Jussie?” Gonzales asks. “Their number one card is identity politics, and it does remain the undefeated champion. I mean, apparently, the greatest sin in America is if someone is known or says something racist,” Hall explains. “If someone utters a naughty word that is on the wrong side of the political spectrum, it is a national scandal,” he adds.

A man kidnapped and murdered in Doral, Florida. Two New York City police officers shot. A sex-trafficking ring that spanned several states broken up by law enforcement in Louisiana. These are some examples of the crimes being committed by a brutal Venezuelan gang called Tren de Aragua.TDA was formed in the state of Aragua in Venezuela, and its members have followed the wave of Venezuelans who have illegally crossed into the United States during the border crisis triggered by President Joe Biden. In Venezuela, the gang has ties to the Nicolás Maduro regime, often acting as enforcers. They control the vast majority of the criminal underworld and the money-making schemes associated with it.Venezuelans have been one of largest groups of people who have illegally crossed the southern border under the Biden administration. While many had directly come from Venezuela, others had been living in other Latin American countries since Venezuela's economic downturn. With the initial exodus, TDA members followed. 'These are gang members who exhibit obvious signs of affiliation, ... but it’s fear of action.'For example, Chile’s Justice Ministry has accused the criminal organization of involvement in the kidnapping and murder of a former Venezuelan soldier in Santiago in 2021, according to El País. While TDA was nearly unheard of by the general public in 2022, recent actions of TDA members are being noticed by both law enforcement and the mainstream media.The Biden administration was made aware of the growing threat of TDA, but the issue was not taken seriously, according to a source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The worry about the growing presence of Latin American gangs within the United States is only heightened with the cases of illegal immigrants with ties to various terrorist groups who have also taken advantage of the border crisis."It’s frustrating that no matter the indicators we have about possible TDA members or affiliates, the emphasis on processing, and not enforcement, remains the same. Why is that?" the source told Blaze News."We don’t need direct derogatory information like we would for terrorists. These are gang members who exhibit obvious sings of affiliation, ... but it’s fear of action. Fear of appearing to be wrong where Trump was right," the source added.TDA has a lot in common with El Salvador's MS-13, like the brutality shown to victims, but unlike the gang that terrorized the Central American country for decades, TDA members do not cover themselves head to toe in tattoos. While there are a few tattoos that TDA members wear, they are more often than not hidden or are seemingly generic.U.S. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens warned on X in April, "Watch out for this gang. It is the most powerful in Venezuela, known for murder, drug trafficking, sex crimes, extortion, [and] other violent acts," while showing off an illegal immigrant arrested by Border Patrol in Texas with TDA tattoos. — (@) NBC Chicago reported local law enforcement agencies currently have over 100 criminal cases in Illinois and Indiana that are connected to suspected members of TDA. At least two members have been arrested in Cook County for narcotics- and weapons-related charges.The "vetting" process the Biden administration often touts as a way to reassure Americans of the people it is releasing within the country is hamstrung by Venezuela not sharing criminal histories with Customs and Border Protection, if they even have a history. It is a deadly combination with TDA members who are taking advantage of the border crisis and Democratic jurisdictions who have soft-on-crime policies.Like Blaze News?
