True
For anyone curious about what it actually looked like to kill a generation of functioning cars, here’s an actual video from 2009 and brief explanation:
The dealer first replaces the oil with sodium silicate solution. It’s a clear-ish liquid that crystallizes under extreme heat. As the engine warms up the solution begins to form small abrasive crystals in the oil system that shred the bearing and score the cylinder walls.
Within seconds of starting the car you can see smoke billowing from the exhaust, this is the crystals scratching the cylinder walls and leaving small grooves for oil and solution to leak past into the combustion chamber and ignite/evaporate, producing the white smoke.
Pretty soon the entire crankcase is full of crystals and freshly shredded metal flakes, the engine seizes. It took about 40 seconds in this video. Some engines reportedly lasted up to 7 minutes, but all were destroyed. That strikes me as sort of sad in a way, like watching a great warrior slowly lose a heroic last stand.
Now, this is the part that gets insanely wasteful. These cars were sent to federally approved recycling facilities where they had 180 days to sell the non-engine parts before they were required to prove that they had shred the entire thing into scrap steel.
But, in talking to a guy who ran one such facility at the time, he typically just sent them straight to the crusher. The timeframes allotted weren’t long enough to dismantle all of the cars, and even if you could, the marginal prices of the parts was greatly diminished. You cannot sell 1000 transmissions when only 50 went bad that year, they became worthless.
So just like that, in order to increase prosperity and save the environment, 677,000 entire running cars and trucks were turned directly into rebar worth a few cents per pound.
The entire Obama administration was like a chapter out of atlas shrugged.

Wow
I can’t believe this but I gotta do it. I never wanna hear MAGA NURSES CAN’T BE NURSES. The shit I hear from liberal nurses is beyond unprofessional. I hope this nurse learns from this report I’m about to make on her. I’m just glad I stepped in and helped the patient who was attacked by 2 random people.

WATCH: Why did the FBI not seriously investigate who constructed the infamous “gallows.” Now the most famous picture from January 6. Repost this video to help me crowdsource the identity of the gang of five who rolled a stack of lumber down prominent streets on Capitol Hill before sunrise that day, and then returned to install the noose at almost exactly the same time as violence started. #january6 #j6 #gallows

In 1998, after nineteen years of marriage, Alan Jackson moved out of the home he shared with his wife, Denise.
They had been together since high school in Newnan, Georgia. They met at a Dairy Queen when he was seventeen and she was sixteen, married in December 1979, and weathered his early years as a struggling musician in Nashville.
By the late 1990s, he was one of the biggest stars in country music. Instead of enjoying that success together, the relentless touring, career pressure, and personal mistakes pushed their marriage to the breaking point.
For nearly four months, they lived apart. Divorce seemed likely. Everything they had built from nothing was on the verge of disappearing.
Their separation played out while Jackson remained in the public eye, with three young daughters caught in the middle of a fractured home.
Then they made a choice. Rather than signing divorce papers, Alan and Denise entered intensive counseling and fought to rebuild their trust from the ground up. He cut back his time on the road. They stayed together.
Five years later, in 2003, Jackson sat down with his guitar and decided to put the entire truth of their journey into a single song. He did not write a polished fairy tale. He wrote “Remember When.”
In just over four minutes, he traced their life from the beginning: two teenagers falling in love, the early financial struggles, the arrival of their three daughters, and the quiet ache of watching those children grow up and leave home.
Most importantly, he did not hide the darkest chapter. Right in the middle of the song, he openly acknowledged the period when they broke each other’s hearts and stood on the edge of losing everything, before finding the grace to put the pieces back together.
When Jackson played the finished recording for Denise for the first time, she broke down in tears.
Released in late 2003 as the lead single from his Greatest Hits Volume II album, “Remember When” spent two weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in early 2004.
For the official music video, Denise agreed to appear alongside him, dancing quietly with her husband while real home videos and photographs from their youth flashed across the screen.
More than twenty years later, the song remains a staple at weddings and anniversaries across the country. It endures not because it describes a perfect marriage, but because it was written by a man who nearly lost his wife—and lived to grow old with her.
Choosing to fight for a marriage after nearly losing it all is the quiet truth that made “Remember When” timeless ♥️♥️

🚨Professor Jiang speaks on why it would be impossible to beat America in a war!🤯
Everyday Americans are not playing those games💯
Interesting
I found this very interesting yet here we are
Comparison of inflation rates since 1993. Isn't it interesting that somehow the public is being led to believe that Trump's inflation rates are disastrous? How many took the bait? 🤔
Have you figured out by now what the real problem is by now?

100%, corrupt. But it seems they all get away with it.
Exposed!!!!!👇
According to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, the Biden DOJ and Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Arctic Frost probe collected detailed personal data on more than 639,000 Republican donors, voters, and supporters.
This included names, addresses, emails, dates of birth, occupations, donation amounts (as low as $1), and credit card info. Data from subpoenas went back to 2005 and included nearly 5,000 donor checks with bank account numbers, routing numbers, and signatures from all 50 states. Smith confirmed his team obtained financial information. Grassley calls it an invasive effort to map the Republican political apparatus, supported by whistleblower disclosures.
This overreach broke Americans’ trust.
He should be criminally charged IMO. What do y’all think?
