When politicians and judges don't want to protect Americans from illegal alien criminals, then it's obvious something is terribly wrong in America. Chris Van Hollen will probably be elected again, because demographics in America have changed so much, and we are no longer a "nation" in the strictest definition of the word. Judge Boasberg, was nominated by Barrack Obama and is probably there for life. Traditional Americans have lost self determination. We can no longer do what is in our best self interest.

I agree with him, but what I don't understand is how Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi can be Catholic and big proponents of abortion. Why aren't they kicked out of the Catholic church when they refuse to repent and change? That certainly doesn't help to protect unborn children, or set a good example.

Motorcycles & Sometimes Other Vehicles In Hollywood Movies, TV & media / Hall & Oates Band Favorite Motorcycle?
« Last post by smallengineshop on April 14, 2025, 06:12:10 PM »
It might be a Yamaha Enduro.

There is a picture of John Oates, of the band Hall & Oates, sitting on a yellow Yamaha motorcycle with Daryl Hall standing next to him. The motorcycle is a 1979 Yamaha DT125 Enduro. Yamaha made 4 different size DT models in 1979: a 100cc, 125cc, 175cc and 250cc. As far as I can tell the 125 and 250 models were both yellow in 1979 and looked very similar, but if you look closely the first half of the exhaust pipe is on the right side of the engine on a 125 model, and on the left side of the engine on the 250 model. That's one way you can tell John Oates is sitting on a 125cc model and not the 250.

The Yamaha DT models were dual sport motorcycles powered by a single cylinder 2 stroke engine. I don't think the term "dual sport" was coined back than, so it was common to call this type of motorcycle "enduro," which means the motorcycle is designed to be ridden on and off the road. This was accomplished with a lighter weight motorcycle, lights and turn signals, longer travel suspension and toned down knobby tires. In 1979 all models except the 100cc model used a single shock rear suspension Yamaha called "monoshock." The Yamaha monoshock rear suspension was first used in 1973 on Yamaha competition motorcycles, but eventually made it's way to other types of motorcycles.

This type of motorcycle was very fun to ride, and the DT models sold very well for Yamaha. It's too bad EPA rules killed 2 stroke powered motorcycles, but I've heard of different technologies for 2 stroke engines that lower emissions, so maybe someday motorcycles like this will come back again.

Our military is probably full of people like this at every level, and in every branch of service after years of bad ideas and bad people in power. I think if America ever faces a powerful opponent the reality of losing that war is a real possibility.

Adam Schiff lied for years about Russian collusion (see second video). He lied about January 6, which resulted in good people being put in prison. He lied about Covid.

I can't believe he is still in government, and people take him serious, but here he is lying about corruption and insider trading.

Nobody paid a price for the Russian Collusion hoax. Everyone involved just walked away from it like it never happened. Even after an investigation concluded Hillary Clinton and her campaign was responsible. What more do you need to lock these people up? If that isn't a sign of corruption and decay, then I don't know what is.

The subject of this investigation hides behind her front door and immediately claims she is not who the police are looking for. She's wanted for collecting almost $20k in unemployment while working a full time job for the city.

American communities need 1930's beat cops who wouldn't tolerate people like this for one second, and the community and government had their backs. In our diversity and dysfunctional mess that will never happen. Why is there so much corruption?

It's because of people like Senator Chuck Schumer who is unable to criticize violence against Tesla because Elon Musk is working to expose the corruption in the American government, and Schumer is a part of it. I remember when Chuck Schumer cried when Obama was elected president. The devil must cry to.

Price Kustoms is a channel on YouTube that focuses mainly on tools used in vehicle maintenance and repair. To help support their channel, they sell several different types of items such as tool organizers, shirts, hats, stickers and key rings through their own website. The reason I'm mentioning their channel here is because I think all the profit they make from key rings goes towards new tools that are donated to high school graduates who are planning to focus on a career in automotive repair. They call this program "Dream Big Movement." Anyone familiar with the automotive industry knows most entry level mechanics or technicians make less than $20 an hour, and are required to provide their own tools, so a program like this can be very helpful to new technicians.

Here's the link to their website: Price Kustoms , and here is their latest video at the time of this post.

Someone said this is the most annoying feature on new automobiles, and the person might be right. This is the switch used to turn off the Auto Start feature on many new cars. The cars computer is programmed to turn the cars engine off when the car and driver are waiting at a stop light, and start the car again when they're ready to go. The feature is automatically turn ON each time the driver starts the car, so they need to turn the feature OFF each time if they don't want it. It would annoy me to no end if my car had this feature, and is another reason why I'm thankful I have a car that's 24 years old and doesn't have any of these bad features. The Auto Start feature is the result of EPA regulations demanding more fuel economy from new cars. The EPA would like to see gasoline powered cars disappear, and is the reason why they keep making it harder and harder for car manufacturers to meet the regulations with the internal combustion engine. It just makes life worse for all of us.

This black kid (Karmelo) stabbed and murdered a white kid for moving his back pack. Now the black kids family is claiming the black kid is a victim. Someone has started a "fund me" page online, and the black kid has received $95,290 to help with his legal expenses at the time of this post.

This is an open and shut case. It is obvious who the real victim is, and who over reacted and committed murder. The real victim is dead over an argument about a seat. The amount of money the black murderer has received reflects the level of hatred in America for traditional Americans. This case is more than just a stabbing, murder crime. This is about racial animosity from one group against the other. This hatred is real! When I first saw a picture of the Help Karmelo fund me page, I wondered if the picture could be a fake, so I checked, and it is real. I guess this boils down to a lot of people thinking it's OK for a black person in America to murder a traditional American. It's much like American journalists claiming the black South African slogan: "Kill The Boer (kill white farmers)," is healthy and OK.

The positive take away from all this is to know who your living with. It might save your life.

Flood this country with 3rd world illegal and legal immigration and you will destroy America. This is the reason America had the worst illegal immigration in it's history under Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Alejandro Mayorkas. We are living though historical and evil times. If the world survives another millennium, the period of time we are living in will be remembered.
