[“Five-minute EV charging, while ambitious, is being actively developed by companies like BYD and CATL. BYD's "Super e-Platform" promises 400 km of range in 5 minutes. CATL, with its battery technology, aims for even greater range gains in the same timeframe. This is achieved through megawatt charging and advanced battery chemistry.” This will completely change the EV landscape. I wonder why it’s not getting more press. gjr]

Not so fast ya po ol ponytail of ignorance –
Here is something you wont see on the walking dead so-called news channels like cnn, msnbc etc. –
Over the five polling days between June 8-12, Rasmussen surveyed 1,772 likely voters and found that Trump enjoys an overall 53 percent job approval rating. This includes 54 percent approval from black voters and 53 percent support from Hispanic voters. White voters come in at 53 percent. I don’t think I ever remember a Republican president enjoying a higher job approval rating from black voters compared to white voters.
A total of 59 percent of men approve of the job Trump is doing, compared to 49 percent of women.
What must be especially demoralizing about these polling results for Democrats is that it was during this same time (June 9-12) that the corporate media launched a jihad against Trump for deporting illegal immigrants out of Los Angeles. The media and Democrats even attempted to blame the two-term president for the violent, left-wing riots in Los Angeles that were encouraged by elected Democrats and only brought under control when Trump sent in the U.S. Marines after federalizing the National Guard.

“Five-minute EV charging, while ambitious”
I’ll say. Consider the charging station required or even the wire. 500,000 watts? Are they 1000V or something? Jeez.
I think the low hanging fruit in EVs will end up being reductions in battery weight (lower range, newer battery tech), although aero might remain unchanged. It’s sure hard to beat liquid fuels for energy density.
Now, back to your regularly scheduled psul puling about Trump.

No doubt the Tesla EV refueling stations load balance in some way, so you don’t need the maximum amount, but I agree it’s something of a problem.
I seem to remember that passenger car electrification takes something like 25% of the grid. Since the power grid is run right on the ragged edge (gotta be efficient doncha know) I can imagine the build-out required. Double bonus points for electric heat, electric hot water.
All designed by people with PowerPoint charts in Sacramento. No doubt the cost will be foisted off on the public (WE’LL USE YOUR EV AS A STORAGE BATTERY! YOU MUST PUT SOLAR ON YOUR HOUSE!!). Gack.
The best part is how all of post-1900 society goes away if some fool runs into the wrong pole. Cascading failures galore. It looks good on paper though.

Greasy gavin set for another loss –
While judges on the panel dropped few definitive hints about which direction they were actually leaning, the bulk of their questions appeared to go against California.
“Where does the statute say that issuing it through the governor requires either the governor’s consent, requires consultation with the governor? Where in the text do you take that from?” Judge Mark Bennett, a Trump appointee, asked at one point.
Bennett then floated the possibility that the panel may disagree with that interpretation and view the statutory phrasing “through the governors” as a “ministerial task,”
“It’s a very roundabout way of imposing a consultation requirement,” Judge Eric Miller, another Trump appointee, remarked at one point about the language of that statute.
The statute in question laid out three possible conditions — the risk of invasion, rebellion, or inability to execute US laws — in which a president “may call into federal service members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers as he considers necessary.”
“If we were writing on a blank slate, I would tend to agree with you, but the problem that I see for you is that [Martin v.] Mott seemed to be dealing with very similar phrasing,” Sung said at one point. “It seemingly rejected the exact argument that you’re making.”
Martin v. Mott was a 1827 Supreme Court case that dealt with a New York militiaman who refused to serve during the War of 1812 and ruled that a president had the ability, under a different, but somewhat similar law, to call upon state militias.
Judges brought up Martin v. Mott a few times during oral arguments and noted similarities between the language in the statute Trump invoked and the law at the center of the 1827 case.
“I think the plaintiffs have an extraordinarily dangerous interpretation of that statute,” Brett Shumate, the recently confirmed head of the Department of Justice’s Civil Division, argued.
“In their very reading of the statute, Governor Newsom could pocket veto the president’s orders, not convey them and wait for somebody to come down to Sacramento and consult with him before he issues that order,” he added.
“That’s not what the statue said. The statute says ‘through the governor,’ it doesn’t say ‘by the governor.’”
Trump’s move marks the first time a president has mobilized the National Guard to address upheaval in Los Angeles since the Rodney King riots in 1992.
It’s the first time a president has federalized a state’s National Guard since President Lyndon Johnson did so against Alabama Governor George Wallace in 1965 to safeguard civil rights marchers.

Bad more bad news for team lefty –
By a 12-point margin in the latest Harvard-Harris poll, voters support President Trump using the National Guard to quell the recent anti-law enforcement riots in Democrat-run Los Angeles.
On June 11 and 12, Harvard-Harris surveyed 2,097 registered voters and asked, “Do you support or oppose the decision to bring in the national guard to help suppress anti-ICE riots?” A clear majority of 56 percent said they support the decision, while only 44 percent oppose.
Another argument the regime media are losing is what to do with criminal illegals. When asked do “you favor or oppose sending illegal immigrants who are convicted and imprisoned to El Salvador or another country to serve their sentences?”, 61 percent said yes, while only 39 percent said no.
When asked specifically about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal alien deported by Trump and turned into a saint and “Maryland Man” by Democrats and the legacy media, 62 percent believe he is an MS-13 gang member, while only 32 percent said he “should have been defended.”
A recent Pew poll found that 83 percent of those surveyed favored all (32 percent) or some (51 percent) illegal aliens should be deported.
A league of American Workers poll taken earlier this month shows that 53 percent of Hispanics “somewhat” or “strongly” support Trump’s deportation policy.
We all saw CNN freak out over the American people’s broad support for Trump’s immigration policies:

ICE agents and their families are not safe because of Freddie’s reckless actions. And he’s not even sorry.
The pushback was so intense, O’Connell had to abruptly end the press gaggle.”
