Former top Trump official suggests Trump should stay out of Georgia runoff — but DeSantis 'should be welcome'

McEnany's comments are particularly eyebrow-raising because they indicate that even former Trump loyalists like herself (she was White House press secretary through the end of the Trump White House) realize that Trump may be hurting, not helping, the Republican Party.

The narcissism of Trump is turning a lot of people off... some think to the point of losing some true conservatives and independants... making him unelectable.

Trump has taken recent shots at DeSantis after repeatedly hinting at his intent to announce his reelection bid for 2024. Several polls have indicated that likely Republican primary voters believe the Florida governor should be the nominee and take on a leadership role in the party.

We need a big change here in the EU

New EU requirements limit car owners
Domestic

2035 may be the year when it will no longer be allowed to drive a traditional car in Europe, at least if the nomenclature in Brussels is allowed to continue to rule over EU member states in the same way as today. But already in three years, the freedom the car means may be a thing of the past for many, when the EU nomenclature now not only covers emissions from engines but also from tires and brakes.

The new so-called Euro 7 requirements for road vehicles will be launched shortly. What is new is that the emission requirements do not only cover what comes out of the exhaust pipe, but also what is released through wear on brake pads and tires.

The new requirements, which will be in place already in three years and will be supranationally binding for all EU countries, may mean that many cars that are on the road today will become illegal or have to be modified at high cost. The EU Commission also wants to introduce an upper limit in time and mileage for new vehicles after which they must be taken out of service and scrapped.

May roll a maximum of ten years or 20,000 miles
The proposal is that a car should not be allowed to roll on the roads for more than ten years or longer than a distance of 20,000 kilometres. After that, they will become illegal to use. In this way, the total ban on newly manufactured cars with internal combustion engines can be extended further by also declaring previously manufactured petrol and diesel vehicles illegal.

According to the EU Commission's proposal, the emission tests that are carried out in connection with car testing must also be redone. This is so that they are more reminiscent of real mixed driving. This may mean that many vehicles that today pass the limit values ​​are rejected and no longer allowed to drive.

Introduced with reference to "climate crisis"
The requirements are partly introduced for general environmental and health reasons, but mainly with reference to the "climate crisis" that the UN claims the earth is in. At the same time, such alarmist statements as the recent one from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that "the planet is on fire” as frivolous and baseless.

The new tougher rules are expected to hit the transport industry even harder than private drivers. A conservative estimate is that each transport vehicle must be upgraded at a cost of at least SEK 25,000. Other vehicles may need to be scrapped. The industry already operates today under pressure from high fuel prices, where the rising costs are one of the factors driving inflation.
