What would it look like for you and your family to pay even more than what you’re already paying at the grocery store check-out line? (Grocery prices have increased more than 30% since Joe Biden took office.) What about at the gas pump? Anything you buy online that is then shipped to your home?
Now, the cost-of-living crisis is already a debilitating burden for countless Americans, but as bad as it is now, it’s fixing to get a whole lot worse if the forced transition to electric vehicles continues; those mandates and regulations don’t just apply to personal vehicles, but also the 18-wheelers that transport so much of what we consumers buy.
Because…according to a new report out from Ryder, a leading trucking industry firm, “transitioning” these diesel trucks to electric semis raises operating costs by as much as 114%. Here’s the story, from an analysis by Naveen Athrappully at The Epoch Times:
(For a day-in-the-life report on what it’s like to be a truck driver of an electric semi, click here.)
But let me guess, if, or when, that price increase comes, Biden will just say it’s the “corporate greed” (never mind that those corporations overwhelmingly throw their financial support behind Democrat politicians…like Biden), or shrinkflation, or a decrease from the “9%” he thinks it was when he took office (it wasn’t).
Finally ABC FACT CHECKS Biden Lies!
Inflation was actually 1.4% when Biden took office — NOT "9%," like the chronic liar claimed in an interview
Bidenomics is destroying America!

The support for a forced transition to “electric” semi fleets by certain members of the voting class is one of the stranger experiences of my life, because it’s a very surreal “I don’t get what they don’t get” kind of phenomenon—it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that increased costs in the trucking-transport industry obviously get passed on to us as consumers, because energy and freight costs compound the cost of everything.
It is always such a joke to hear Joe Biden (and the mockingbird media) say that he cares about the poor and the middle classes, and that he is working hard to lower costs—every one of Biden’s supposed “green” policies, especially ones that wage war on the very energy that makes the world go ‘round (oil), substantially raises costs, which disproportionately harms the poor and middle classes, and we’re already buckling under the weight of what we’ve endured thus far.
Over 50% of Americans can’t afford a $1,000 emergency, but Democrats, like Biden, are working hard to make sure we’re on the hook to fork over huge chunks of cash to convert our cars and appliances to “go green.”
So what does this mean for you and me as the consumer?
Simply put, expect a whole new level of “broke.”

From Mar. 22 – May 15, 2024, ZEISS will be offering promotions on Conquest HD binoculars and LRP S5 riflescopes at participating ZEISS authorized dealers
White Plains, NY – Mar. 19, 2024
ZEISS, a premium optics manufacturer for over 175 years, is presenting two promotions just in time for the spring hunting and shooting season. From March 22 – May 15, take advantage of $200 off instant savings on our best-selling family of binoculars, Conquest HD. The binoculars feature high-definition glass which produces 90% light transmission, great low-light performance, and excellent target resolution across the entire magnification range. The HD lens system and T* six-layer light-transmission coating guarantees maximized color rendition and image brightness. The LotuTec® coating enables a clear and unhindered view in all weather conditions. The compact size, low weight and robust construction ensures durability even in the toughest conditions. The large focusing wheel is ideal for gloved hands when conditions are wet or cold and also allows for finer focusing, creating a highly precise true-to-life image.
The second promotion is a limited time precision shooting package. Purchase an LRP S5 and get a Conquest HD 15x56 binocular free. Whether you demand excellent optics at PRS and NRL competitions or you are a long-range hunter, your needs are met with the LRP S5. The first focal plane riflescopes come in two configurations, 318-50 and 525-56, available in two reticle options, a ZF-MRi or ZF-MOAi, utilize a 34 mm main tube, European-style fast-focus eyepiece, Ballistic Stop elevation turret with 40.7 MRAD or 140 MOA of total elevation travel, and an external locking windage turret. The LRP S5 features a premium optical design with fluoride lens elements, SCHOTT glass and T* coatings for optimum target or game identification. The daylight visible illuminated reticle delivers an exceptionally bright point of aim – regardless of the amount of incoming light – allowing you to confirm precise shot placement. This riflescope is heavy-duty, and shock tested to 1,500 g-force. Pair the LRP S5 riflescope with a free Conquest HD 15x56 binocular, the perfect companion to your long-range hunting or shooting experience. Developed for extremely long-distance viewing and extended observation periods, the Conquest HD 15x56 provides a razor-sharp view of the smallest details at longer ranges and will impress with bright and high contrasting images. It comes with a ZEISS tripod adaptor which enable the binoculars to be mounted easily and quickly. The Conquest HD delivers outstanding performance from an uncompromising design.

Society and demographics has changed to where you can no longer offer All You Can Eat Shrimp. Thats like looting a store with a mouth. They may as well have advertised Shrimp Reparations.

Are coned breeches backward compatible with non coned bolts?

@karagias do you think that CdG barrels with coned breeches could be backward compatible with Savage or other actions that do not have coned bolts? Looking at the drawings the coned cut is so small down at the web of the case. What are your thoughts?
