The Fix: Ok, Now Hillary Clinton Seems To Have Some Problems In Iowa

WASHINGTON — New vehicles sold in the U. S. will have to average about 38 miles per gallon of gasoline in 2031 in real-world driving, up from about 29 mpg this year, under new federal rules unveiled Friday by the Biden administration. The final rule will increase fuel economy by 2% per year for model years 2027 to 2031 for passenger cars, while SUVs and other light trucks will increase by 2% per year for model years 2029 to 2031, according to requirements released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The final figures are below a proposal released last year.

Soon-to-be-jailed Steve Bannon told Tommy Tuberville that it is likely President Biden will start a "wag the dog" war with Russia in order to win the 2024 election. There is no basis for this, but Bannon's mission is to propagate subversive information to his GOP followers. Bannon lies about US relations with the Russians by insanely claiming they've always been our friends.

MSNBC's Joy Reid went toe to toe with Trump-loving MAGA Republican Byron Donalds after his remarks about Jim Crow, but the entire fiasco was nothing more than an exercise in futility. You're never going to get any of these liars like Donalds to admit they're wrong about anything, and instead it was an opportunity for Donalds to deny what he said, accuse the other side of gaslighting, and probably earn himself a few points with Republicans for "owning the libs" by being willing to come on MSNBC and snarl at the host.

Fox News host Bill Hammer played video of MSNBC host Joy Reid's confrontation with Rep. Byron Donald's over his Jim Crow remarks and then played Donalds' actual words which proved Reid's point succinctly. The point is that Donalds did say 'Black America was better off in the Jim Crow era because they voted more conservatively and made it seem like Black families thrived under Jim Crow.' Fox News played a video mashup. Reid: Is there a specific period between 1867 and 1968 that you thought was this golden era for black families or a time that was good for black families? Donalds: Joy, I never said that.

Needing some clickbait probably, The Federalist (a far-right conservative online magazine funded by right-wing billionaires) resorted to slagging America's sweetheart and cultural icon, Dolly Parton. And their reasoning? She doesn't hate on the gays as a good Christian is supposed to do, at least in their perverse worldview. And who did they enlist for this thankless task (although probably well-compensated for her 703 words of shameless bigotry) but an Evangelical writer for World magazine and reporter for Christianity Today named Ericka Andersen. Source: The Federalist To be sure, the culture is on a constant witch hunt for those who would call homosexuality sinful.

He called up the Biden White House to complain about Biden's criticism of the ICC warrant request to arrest Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu because his wife helped write it.
