The media was more cruel and critical of Biden than it ever was to Trump.

The media refused to honor Biden's accomplishments and dismiss the MAGA peanut gallery. They focused on insignificant details and right-wing falsehoods.

“Their principal response to Christ’s injunctions to unconditional forgiveness and against retaliation and judgment is simply to argue that he is speaking only of private rather than public morality. But such a distinction would have been wholly unintelligible in the context of first-century Judaea; Christ’s constant challenges were to the traditional applications of the Law, in which the personal, social, and jurisprudential were inseparable.”

Walter Einenkel at Daily Kos:

Dubious tech billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy promised to use his new, nongovernmental position with the Department of Government Efficiency to “carefully scrutinize” federal loans made to Elon Musk’s electric vehicle rivals. In a post on X, Ramaswamy promised to investigate federal loans made to electric vehicle manufacturers not named Tesla under the Inflation Reduction Act.

Ramaswamy’s tirade came the same day the U.S. Department of Energy announced a $7 billion federal loan to two Indiana-based electric battery plants. The two plants, in Kokomo, Indiana, would supply batteries to car manufacturer Stellantis, who owns Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. The loan to create the battery plants in Indiana is expected to create 3,200 construction jobs, and then 2,800 manufacturing jobs when the plants are fully operating. The Rivian project in Georgia is expected to create 7,500 jobs through 2030. The tech bro’s threats also called into question the Biden administration’s decision to commit $6 billion to support electric vehicle-maker Rivian to produce batteries at a plant in Georgia, last week. “DOGE will carefully scrutinize every one of these questionable 11th-hour transactions, starting on Jan. 20,” Ramaswamy wrote.

[...] Tesla’s dominant share of the U.S. EV market, once well over 70%, has fallen steadily since 2019. In the months leading up to Musk’s full-throated endorsement and support of Trump, Tesla’s share dropped below 50% for the first time. Analysts have long predicted the EV company would continue to lose market position as more affordable offerings with larger distribution infrastructures became available.

DOGE co-chair Vivek Ramaswamy plans to scrutinize all non-Tesla EV federal loans with Inflation Reduction Act money.

The assualts would destroy the host.

The host is us. We all buy into a society that attempts to provide for all. Late stage capitalists see the government treasury as a paycheck.

Billionaires are given jobs they have no experience for the sole purpose of plunder.

Nova Scotia Northern Lights : This almost otherworldly display of northern lights was captured in clear skies during the early hours of March 31 from 44 degrees north latitude, planet Earth. In a five second exposure the scene looks north from Martinique Beach Provincial Park in Nova Scotia, Canada. Stars of the W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia shine well above the horizon, through the red tint of the higher altitude auroral glow. Auroral activity was anticipated by skywatchers alerted to the possibility of stormy space weather by Sun-staring spacecraft. The predicted geomagnetic storm was sparked as a coronal mass ejection, launched from prolific solar active region 2975, impacted our fair planet’s magnetosphere. via NASA
