Lessons From the Eclipse – Electrifying Everything is Dangerously Asinine.

April 12, 2024 Rob Roper

The total solar eclipse this week was totally cool, for sure. How lucky we Vermonters were that we could just walk outside, take in this once in a generation natural phenomenon, then pop back into our houses to resume whatever it was we were doing twenty minutes earlier. Not so for the estimated 160,000 tourists … Read more

Science Once Again Punches Net Zero In Its Stupid Face

August 21, 2023August 19, 2023 Steve MacDonald

As Maine considers following Massachusetts and Vermont down the California EV, NetZero ***! Hole, the science, and a handful of people with some common sense have stepped in to say, slow the hell down. Electrifying trucks comes with some serious downsides.

Bad Roll, Or Bad Transportation Secretary

May 26, 2023 Ray Cardello

Typically, the average American does not know who the Transportation Secretary is. Still, in the last two years, our Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, has been front and center far too often. We have had seven significant transportation-related situations during Pete’s watch. He has not handled any well.

Racist Roads

April 19, 2023 Steve MacDonald

If inequity in transportation infrastructure looks like a distraction, it is. A made-up thing that, if it were real, would be the result of Democrat rule, which makes the Left spearheading so-called remedies that much more ridiculous.

February 18, 2023 Steve MacDonald

We shared a video of the overheating axel on the train that derailed in Palestine, Ohio. And that seems like the culprit. But did you know that derailing trains is a thing with the radical left, especially the enviro-fascists?

Our Infrastructure is Broken

January 13, 2023 Ray Cardello

The Biden administration has passed some huge spending bills in two years, and in the thousands of pages accounting for trillions of dollars were many line items that addressed the infrastructure.

I’m Flying Southwest……Maybe

December 29, 2022 Ray Cardello

Southwest Airlines grew from a start-up carrier back in 1967 to become the number-one airline in 2018. From that famous line in their early commercials, “more champagne?” to their catchphrase today, “your flight has been canceled.”

Fossil Free World is Folly

October 24, 2022 Ray Cardello

The idea of being out of “gas-guzzling” cars and trucks and into battery-operated vehicles by 2035 is foolish enough. The thought that our military can be carbon neutral at the same time is not only folly but is so dangerous to our national security that whoever utters such foolishness should be charged with treason. That … Read more

Reminder: We Don’t Have What it Takes to ‘Go Green’

April 20, 2022April 19, 2022 Steve MacDonald

The Left’s all-in or nothing attitude about net-zero is one of their more disingenuous screeds. They’re ranting like lunatics and making more promises than a used Electric Vehicle car salesman with no car to sell you. IN other words, what they say, can’t be done.

Trains and Trucks and Scandinavia Sucks

December 18, 2021 Op-Ed

Fun fact, kids. Your Grumpy Observer has always been fascinated with the transportation and logistics industries. An intricate system of people and marvels, like the Antonov plane or Ro-ro vessels, all flawlessly coordinated to bring you your cargo, or in-laws, just in time for production or babysitting. C’est Magnifique.

Pete Buttigieg Represents Everything Wrong with Modern Politics

October 26, 2021 Op-Ed

I don’t know anyone that works at the Department of Transportation, but I would really like to know the sense of trust, respect, or anything else leaders must have among their subordinates in his ranks. Framed as a question, how can anyone tolerate Pete Buttigieg?

News of note from Wakefield, Massachusetts. Eleven members of a group called Moors Rising were arrested after an armed stand off with Massachusetts State Police on Interstate 95. No driver licenses and all armed with unregistered rifles and pistols contrary to Massachusetts laws. How come? This is a fundamentalist Islamic group and by their beliefs no secular laws are legal or binding on them, only Islamic doctrine is considered legitimate. (Most Americans do not understand this). Hoping The Daily Sun tracks this story to see how our courts deal with it.

Still Waiting for Advanced Technology for Transportation

August 27, 2021August 26, 2021 Steve Earle

I’ve been waiting since the 1950s for those personal flying machines Edgar Rice Burrows wrote about powered by the “9th ray” and the 1970s for electric cars which would actually be better, more cost-efficient than our still-better internal combustion engine ones to no avail so far.

What do you see when you encounter a person on the street begging for money? Do you see a homeless person, a con artist, a grifter, a nuisance, a danger, an untouchable to be ignored?

March 4, 2021March 4, 2021 NITZAKHON

Do you understand why the Biden Administration is releasing illegal aliens who test positive for COVID19 into the United States? A legal reason for NOT doing so is having an infectious disease. We have immigration law on this point.

CDC Mandates Masks Nationwide on All Public Transporation and Some Private (Rideshare).

February 1, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The Center for Dystopian Chaos (CDC) has released new rules for the peasants. Ye shall wear a mask (over nose and mouth) on any conveyance or at or in any transportation hub. Air, bus, train, cab, and even rideshare services will be expected to enforce the rules.

California: We Can’t Keep the Lights On So Let’s Ban Gas Powered Vehicles

August 22, 2022September 23, 2020 Steve MacDonald

It is no secret that California is a mess. Crime, Disease, poverty, homelessness, and that was before COVID or the riots. The green energy also has rolling blackouts due to insufficient electric power, so what’s the next logical step? Prohibit any vehicle that is not electric.
