It’s been quite some time since the smart people invented something really, really great. Oh, sure, you immediately think of the cellular telephone – the gadget on which many of you are reading this essay, but that would be getting ahead of the story.
Since the current administration – the Biden administration, in particular – took office in 2021, the world has been on fire, figuratively. Almost immediately, President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., hired all sorts of clever people to his bidding.
His bidding has been to change the United States from a self-sufficient, freedom-loving, capitalistic country into a weak, desperate, needy nation, in an apparent effort to thank the millions of special interest voters for electing him. It’s now payback time.
Environmental, race-driven, anti-life, pro-minority, counter-nuclear family, racist hiring, anti-religious organizations seem to be the constituency that gleefully elected Biden and, subsequently, his cadré of children who are now running and ruining this once-great nation. I call this “Child Think.”
Because of decades of dumbing-down curricula in schools, we are now reaping what we have sown. Ignorant ‘educators’ have been teaching drivel as science to young students since the 1970’s as a concerted effort to change America from a democratic-republic to a socialist/communist system.
This may make many of you think I have lost my direction, but please hear me out.
One of the first items of business on Inauguration Day 2021, was to block leases for oil drilling in the United States. Nearly immediately, the price of petroleum products skyrocketed due to the law of “supply and demand.” If you limit the supply while the demand remains steady, the price will increase.
You can now write the rest of this paragraph: gas prices shot up, air travel soared, long-haul truckers began paying more for diesel fuel, and homeowners were going to get socked for higher fuel oil rates, all because of this Child Think.
The reason for this market manipulation is pretty simple for the Child Think crowd. They believe that if you stop refining oil into a variety of fuels, or merely cause the price to dramatically rise, people will be forced to stop driving or look for an alternative means of transportation.
What a terrific idea, right?
A thinking person would now ask the common-sense question: “How are we going to get our cars, trucks and SUVs to go from once place to another without gas or diesel fuel? How are we supposed to travel to work, school, vacation, the supermarket, doctor visits, and to the store to buy that 75” HDTV,” should be your next question. Imagine toting that TV home on public bus.
Remember that transit system consisting of buses that come by following a 55-minute wait, or those quaint trolleys our aldermen and city council members demanded for decades? Those are supposed to serve as our new modes of transportation. Those are the Child Think solutions for the ‘little people’ who will be unable to get petroleum products without a special voucher. Special voucher?
Not unlike the sugar, meat and gas rations during World War II, certain, privileged individuals will be able to buy the means to start and move their vehicles if they earned the right to travel for special needs.
Sounds silly and far-fetched. But how did we get here?
Child Thinkers have been creating solutions for non-existent problems since Paul Ehrlich and his wife wrote the book The Population Bomb, in 1968. This book “predicted hundreds of millions of people were going to starve to death in the 1970’s,” according to an article in The Guardian.
Of course he was wrong; it’s 50-years hence, and we are still alive and well. What happened?
According to Ehrlich, this fate “was avoided by the green revolution in intensive agriculture,” again cited by The Guardian. It further states “Many of the details and timings were wrong, Paul Ehrlich acknowledges today, but he says the book was correct overall.” Sure it was.
Further, The Guardian states, “Population growth, along with over-consumption per capita, is driving civilisation over the edge: billions of people are now hungry or micronutrient malnourished, and climate disruption is killing people.”
Pretty scary stuff, especially for an elementary school student force-fed this tripe for a half-century. Doom and gloom, waters polluted by chicken farm runoffs, Peruvian sheep going blind due to ozone disappearance, smog causing lung diseases in civilized societies, but this is only the tip of the iceberg.
Suddenly, we are now getting information about meat-eaters adding to the demise of the planet. It seems as though vegetarians thought it prudent to hop aboard the terror train to oblivion by announcing how cows and other farm animals are the latest scourge helping society reach its end sooner. Let’s eradicate them from the planet.
We are told these animals are, simply put, fart machines. Because they, themselves, are vegetarians, they fart a lot, thereby generating methane gas. Keeping this in mind, please remember that all vegetarians fart a lot; it’s difficult if not impossible to process greenery through our intestines. Now, vegans are part of the problem, too, not the solution.
What is a good, loyal environmentalist to do? Hold your breath. A Child Thinker in Great Britain is encouraging others to “stop exhaling” in order to prevent poisonous gasses from exiting and entering the atmosphere. While I wholeheartedly agree, I won’t be participating inasmuch as I need air to continue living; you all can do what you feel is necessary to save Mother Earth, though.
Which brings us back to saving the population of the planet, Earth. Child Thinkers globally know they have the definitive solution to this self-generated mayhem.
Rather than rely upon steam, nuclear, hydro, and coal generated electricity, the Child Thinkers have caught the attention of our doddering President Biden who literally needed cue cards to recall his favorite food (Hint: it’s chocolate chip ice cream.) This is part of that payback scheme.
Since that Inauguration Day Executive Order signed to cut back on oil drilling, the push began again in earnest. Being conned by start-up solar companies promising “FREE” electricity from the Sun, as well as windmill manufacturers harnessing every puff of moving air, these hucksters swindled the American taxpayers via our elected politicians in getting grants for this snake oil, under the Barack Hussein Obama regime.
Like Lazarus, more and more solar and wind companies have been sprouting like weeds in a garden to get their fair share of this guvment gravy, once again. Even Chinese companies are harvesting this seemingly endless supply of cash, all in the name of a cleaner environment.
But the big stumbling block remains vehicles. Yes, the cars, trucks, SUVs, upon which rely heavily for our lives are being outlawed by smarmy politicians who have become drunk with power by exerting their faux power.
Child Think once again brought a solution to all these problems: electric vehicles (EVs). Biden’s Children have decided that if you want to drive, you must buy an EV. End of discussion.
EVs are not new. In fact, EVs have been around for nearly 200-years, in one form or another.

WHAT???
Indeed, an EV was created, according to Car and Driver magazine, in the 1830’s, in Scotland by Robert Anderson. It was a motorized carriage powered by batteries – although they were not yet rechargeable.
Other tinkerers and inventors dabbled with EVs for years thereafter, eventually centering around rechargeable batteries. Robert Davidson, Thomas Parker, William Morrison, Pedro Salom, Henry G. Morris, and Isaac L. Rice are also mentioned by Car and Driver, as early pioneers of EVs.
But, as Car and Driver points out, Thomas “Edison and his camping buddy Henry Ford tried their hand at an electric car and built a prototype before both decided that the gasoline engine had a more promising future. One factor was that electricity was not yet widely available outside city centers, severely limiting the market for car tied to that infrastructure. Divers could carry spare cans of gasoline for long journeys, but spare batteries were a lot heavier per unit of energy.”
It seems as though way back when, automotive engineer, designers, and industry titans realized gasoline powered vehicles could easily overcome hurdles in technology. Still, Child Think is alive and well in today’s society, with no end in sight.
But I say give them what they demand. Biden and his Child Thinkers are demanding Americans modify their lives with EVs. Period. No debate necessary.
To that end, I say let President Biden and his Secret Service buy and solely use electric vehicles. “The Beast” is the presidential limousine whose curb weight is an estimated 15,000-20,000 pounds, likely because of its armor plating, bullet-proof glass, electronics and other redundant systems.
Of course, there are additional vehicles in Biden’s motorcade that include Secret Service Agents transportation, a medical team, a decoy vehicle, as well as press personnel.
I contend that since The White House feels so strongly that EV technology is readily available and reliable for the average American, he should lead by example. You know he won’t, though. EVs are as unreliable today as they were in the 1830’s and should not be forced down our throats because of a dream from Child Thinkers. Forward to 1832 is not the direction in which we should go.
Perhaps those children running The White House Romper Room should go back to a school with real educators and a curriculum of history who will tell them the truth rather than terrify them with conjecture.
