    The North American and European EV markets are slowing down significantly; hence many EV companies changing plans.

    Yes China is full speed ahead. BYD is the leader. The Chinese market is driven by government subsidies and rules.

    There are also African nations leading in EV uptake. Nearly all of them imported from China.

    Trump and the RNC are falling badly behind on fund raising. Not looking good for them.

    RNC’s Latest Fundraising Is a Sign of How Much Trump Is Struggling
    The Republican Party spent more than it raised in July

    It’s been a tough month financially for the Republican Party, which may signal trouble for its presidential candidate, Donald Trump.

    The RNC reported that it had raised nearly $31 million in July, nearly half of the $61 million it reported raising the month before, according to its most recent FEC filing. The party’s disbursements over the same period were more than $33 million, meaning that the party ended the month of its convention slightly more cash-poor than it started.

    Trump’s campaign has said that it, and the Republican Party, had raised a combined $138 million in July.

    Meanwhile, Kamala Harris’s historic fundraising surge has officially dwarfed the moneymaking efforts of Trump and the GOP. Since entering the race nearly one month ago, Harris has raised a staggering $500 million, across her campaign and other political entities, according to CNBC.

    Harris raised $204 million in July alone—a whopping four times as much as the $48 million raised by Trump’s main fundraising group, Reuters reported.

    Harris’s political operation and the Democratic Party’s main fundraising group were able to raise a combined $310 million in July, with more than $200 million raised within the first week of her candidacy, following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the presidential race. Harris’s team entered August with $377 million cash on hand, exceeding the $327 million held by Trump’s operation.

  6. Staggering Incompetence: Biden's Commerce Secretary Is "Not Familiar" With The Bureau Of Labor

    :rolleyes:

    Asked about today's near record downward jobs revision, Biden's Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo - who we repeat, is the Secretary of the Department of Commerce which is responsible among other things, for the Bureau of Economic Analysis - said she "doesn't believe" the revision because, somehow Trump was behind it. But when she was informed that the data comes from her own administration, namely the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics, Raimondo's response was simply legendary: "I am not familiar with that."

  7. Tampon Tim launches into his "never underestimate a public school teacher" shtick in his acceptance speech.

    What a crock that is. Especially when delivered in Chicago, the very epicenter of public school failure.

    Questions Tree,

    Odds are we won't know the winner on election night, but how does that play out with the House and Senate races? Are they in limbo too? Like when Bush/Gore happened, I don't remember. Do the recounts apply all the way down the ticket or is that something different?

    Next question, what's it currently looking like in your opinion (even with a Kamala win) that the Pubs will hold at least one house of Congress?
