They’re Very Thorough, and Very Accountable

Trump shooting task force releases final report, accuses agencies of failing to produce docs
https://justthenews.com  | 12/20/2024 | Misty Severi

In the second shooting, lawmakers noted that there were “critical vulnerabilities” in the security of the golf course, but said federal agencies including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) did not provide further information it needed on the preparation and response to the shooting.

In its final report, the House task force investigating the assassination attempts against President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday accused multiple government agencies, including the U.S. Secret Service (USSS), of failing to produce documents it requested for its probe.

Why does Congress call upon these agencies to provide information, when they know they will not if it doesn’t suit them? Why do they fund them? Who is in charge?

So Who’s Working on the Excuses For Why It (a) Never Got Built, (b) Doesn’t Work, (c) Couldn’t Work?

Electric avenue: LA getting car-charging road ahead of 2028 Olympics
NY Post | 11/30/24 | Chris Harris

California is about to become home to the nation’s second electric vehicle-charging roadway — with construction due to be completed ahead of the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

The multimillion dollar UCLA project, funded with state grant moneys, will concentrate on a half-mile stretch of road in Westwood, according to the Los Angeles Times.

And it will come as the university prepares to host the Olympic Village — where all of the competing athletes stay during the games.

“A wireless inductive option is a game changer,” Clinton Bench, director of the UCLA Fleet and Transit, told the Times.

“When a vehicle is driving over [a charger], the vehicle can collect charge while it’s moving.”

Close to $20 million in grant money will be used to upgrade UCLA‘s bus fleet, replacing gas-powered vehicles with electric buses.

The EV-charging roadway will eliminate the need to connect any of the buses to electric charging coils.

Any electric vehicle that utilizes the roadway will be able to pick up a charge, thanks to several underground charging stations.

The buses would pick up charge while driving throughout the day or when parked at a stationary wireless charger.

So, a half-mile of road, at (say) sixty miles per hour, provides exactly how much time to re-charge the wireless charger the buses don’t have?
