BIG OIL & COAL has been poisoning our planet for 100 years. Now we have the technology to save our planet, but can we? Electric cars now outsell gasoline engines in the EU!

Republicans love to start Wars & cut the veterans medical budget at the same time.

For the FIRST TIME EVERY BATTERY ELECTRIC Vehicles (BEVs) outsold pure gasoline-powered cars in the European Union in December 2025. Driven by a 51% increase in BEV registrations compared to December 2024, electric cars captured a 22.6% market share, slightly surpassing gasoline's

Russia is waging a low-level hybrid drone war against Europe in 2026, using surveillance and disruption tactics to test NATO defenses and destabilize member states. Sabotage by Russian operatives has been suspected in several incidents. Jay in Keiv
