Herschel Walker, a Georgia GOP Senate candidate, swung back at former President Barack Obama’s accusation that he is “a celebrity that wants to be a politician.” Walker argued that the former president doesn’t have sway with voters in the Peach State and “got with the wrong horse” by backing Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock. The comments by Walker come in the wake of the former president slamming the controversial candidate during a speech. Obama highlighted the GOP candidate’s multiple controversies, as he told the crowd that the former football star is “someone who carries around a phony badge and says he…

To address the apparent controversy, the country musician took to his Twitter writing in part: “I typically don’t respond to stuff when I’m getting run down on a social platform but here’s the deal. I understand Governor DeSantis is a very polarizing figure. But I grew up in a country where if a governor ask you if they can come and raise awareness to help victims of a natural disaster you help.” “I’ve…

But it is also a giant abuse of police resources and time, which is another reason it is…

Defending a move the White House has heavily criticized as helping Russia’s war in Ukraine, Saudi Arabia has suggested the U.S. asked it to wait a month before it cut oil production. Although the Saudi Foreign Affairs Ministry did not specifically mention the midterms in its lengthy and abrupt statement, such a delay in the OPEC+ supply reduction could have staved off price rises at American pumps until after the midterm elections. The White House has already stated that it is “categorically false to connect this to U.S. elections.” Biden now has warnings for them, watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfoRV6SszgA As…

A former resident of Wyoming, who now lives in Colorado is experienced at driving his electric vehicle around Wyoming and has taken many return road trips in his Nissan Leaf. Alan O’Hashi learned one thing, and that is that a road trip in an EV is much different than a traditional gasoline-fueled vehicle. “It was very difficult,” said O’Hashi. “For example, (it took) 15 hours to get from Cheyenne to Casper,” he added. It was his first trip in late May 2022, so this wasn’t back in the beginning days of EVs either. He was able to get the time…
