I have owned my PORSCHE Taycan EV Electric Car now for just over 2 years. The purchase price was £120,000. I've had a few quotes over the last few months for it as I'd like to go back to a Petrol Car. Unfortunately I found out the hard way that Electric Vehicles are a disposable item and you WILL lose all your money and could end up in great financial difficulty. My EV is now so worthless Even the dealership does not want it back. BE WARNED! DO NOT BUY AN ELECTRIC CAR! Watch this video and share it across all you social media a friends. CLICK THE THUMBS UP so YouTube Pushes this video out to people who are looking to purchase an Electric Car and have been fed the lies that Electric Cars are the future of motoring!!! LIKE AND SHARE and SUBSCRIBE. UTL COMMENT:- Don't forget they have a slight tendency to catch fire and when charging irradiate you....but don't worry about those minor things... :-(.... I have to admit that this chap who is supposedly 'in-the-know' was kind of stoooopid to have purchased one in the first place.... I am not against EV's in principle, but there are sooo many issues that need to be sorted out. Eg fires, battery longevity, the huge environmental damages caused by mining the materials, the irony of charging them from coal fire power (which I don't care about as climate change is a scam anyway but it's just the point of it all), and the absolute smugness of the fucking assholes that drive them!! #electriccar #electriccars #evs #evinfrastructure #motoring #fullycharged #porschetaycan #cars With thanks to:- https://www.youtube.com/@TheMacMaster

Ryan Wesley Routh tried to play Lee Harvey Oswald and Abraham Zapruder. He succeeded in neither role. The attempted assassination of Donald Trump on Sunday, the second such serious effort to murder the former president in 63 days, at Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida, revealed a startling piece of evidence. The would-be assassin, after Secret Service bullets sent him scurrying, left at the scene, atop backpacks filled with ceramic tile and an AK-47, a GoPro camera that suggests he intended to record the murder of Donald Trump. Mr. Routh … did not pull off his horrific stunt. So, he gets the three-name treatment and his 15 minutes of fame. A GoPro — the item that, say, a skateboarder might mount to his helmet to capture a daring stunt — Routh brought to an alleged assassination attempt. Hmmm. Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw assessed that the wannabe assassin was “intent on filming what was going on.” Assassins once tried to get away. Now they look to get caught. Ramon Mercader, while he could not escape from Leon Trotsky’s bodyguards after bludgeoning Joseph Stalin’s bête noire with an ice ax in Mexico, refused to give up his identity for the remainder of his days. Lee Harvey Oswald murdered a policeman to elude capture after murdering President John Kennedy. James Earl Ray, Martin Luther King’s assassin, went on the lam for two months during which time he traveled to Canada, the United Kingdom, and Portugal. Even John Wilkes Booth, whose “sic semper tyrannis” shout perhaps served as the 1865 version of bringing a GoPro to a murder, broke his leg jumping from President Abraham Lincoln’s theater box, spent 12 days on the run, and died as the result of a gunshot wound after refusing to surrender. Contra Booth, Mercader, Oswald, and Ray, Routh brought the mechanism that would implicate him in the murder. Mr. Routh allegedly sought to memorialize his moment of infamy, which many can no longer distinguish from fame, on video and perhaps the internet through a livestream. Yes, he fled in his Nissan. But the man brought a camera to a killing. Who does that? Criminals, at least ones with a degree of intelligence, don disguises, brandish aliases, and establish safe houses. They do not, at least they did not until fairly recently, broadcast boastful pictures of drugs, guns, and money on the internet. That now happens a lot. Crime always job-recruited among the dumb. Have those taking up the profession ever been this stupid? Maybe some condition other than “stupidity” more precisely describes the phenomenon. “Vainglory” comes to mind. Not just criminals but huge swaths of the citizenry feel compelled to narc on themselves, and for their boring, law-abiding activities. Pictures of the pork chop they ate for dinner posted to Instagram, dear diary-style recordings of their feelings about their childhood for show on YouTube, and journaling the mundane activities (“Just fed the dog”) of the day on X strongly indicate that we live more in an exhibitionist culture than a voyeuristic one. Ryan Wesley Routh’s motivations, probably from his own mouth given what the presence of the camera tells us about him, will likely become known in the coming days. He donated 19 times to Democrats, with gifts earmarked on Act Blue to the likes of Beto O’Rourke and Elizabeth Warren, since 2019, so some type of political motivation given that he targeted a political figure seems likely. But almost all of the people who donate to such figures do not attempt to harm their political enemies. At 58 and lacking success, Routh possibly looked at life’s checkmate, the moment one realizes that bad choices and fate no longer allowed for the fulfillment of dreams. Did a loser believe that, in killing a man intensely admired by so many Americans, he would become a winner? We live in a profoundly narcissistic culture in which celebrity rather than sainthood appears to many as the highest level of humanity. Without a heaven or a hell, the disturbed increasingly see immortality coming through the pulling off horrific stunts of the like Mr. Routh allegedly attempted to undertake on Sunday. Mr. Routh, once again a failure, did not pull off his horrific stunt. So, he gets the three-name treatment and his 15 minutes of fame. He does not win online immortality through his GoPro or a Lee Harvey Oswald line in the history books.

William “Bill” Gun Chong, BEM, (1911 – 2006) had himself quite an adventure during World War II. A Chinese-Canadian born in Vancouver, British Columbia, he was visiting relatives in Hong Kong in 1941, when all hell broke loose and the Japanese invaded and swiftly conquered the British enclave. After scary run-ins with the occupiers, Bill ...
