Biden Spending Billions on Electric Vehicle Charging Stations Many Americans Will Never Use <[link removed]> - Relying only on battery-powered electric vehicles in a cold climate takes courage because car batteries quickly lose
their charge when temperatures are low. Yet the federal government wants to spend billions to build charging stations all across the country—including in cold-weather states where electric vehicles are often impractical. Cold temperatures are one reason why, at the end of 2021 (the latest full year available), Wyoming had only 510 registered electric vehicles <[link removed]> or EVs. That’s one per every 1,135 people, compared to one per every 69 people in California and one per every 228 in Florida, according to the Energy Department <[link removed]>. Even so, Wyoming has been granted $27 million of the $7.5 billion that the new Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act allocates to states to build electric vehicle charging stations. That works out to over $52,000 per EV <[link removed]> in the state. Heritage Expert: Diana Furchtgott-Roth <[link removed]>
Georgia Voters Show Just How Wrong Joe Biden and His Sycophants Are <[link removed]> - Here is the question: When will President Joe Biden, failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, Major League Baseball Commissioner Robert
Manfred, and other denizens of the Left apologize to Georgia’s legislators, governor, and other residents? The answer is probably “Never,” despite the latest evidence of just how wrong they’ve been about Georgia’s commonsense election reforms in their outrageous claims about the state. In a propaganda campaign over the past two years that would impress Russian President Vladimir Putin, Biden <[link removed]> and Abrams <[link removed]> falsely claimed that new Georgia election reforms <[link removed]> such as an ID requirement for absentee ballots were “Jim Crow 2.0” and deliberately intended to “suppress” minority voters.

When government policy hits home—and your wallet <[link removed]> - If you think public policy doesn’t really affect you or your family, take a quick glance at your retirement account –
but you may want to sit down first. Those accounts have taken a beating lately because of the misguided policies emanating from Washington, D.C., and the result is a dramatic reduction in wealth for the average American family. Heritage Expert: EJ Antoni <[link removed]>
 
U.S. military has fewer munitions than you might think—and that’s a problem <[link removed]> - One might assume the military <[link removed]> has massive stocks of artillery shells, bombs, and other munitions that would last through the duration of any war the U.S. may find itself fighting. But the war in Ukraine has demonstrated that this is not the case. Heritage Expert: Maiya Clark <[link removed]>
 
Fact Check: Karine Jean-Pierre Says Republicans Wanted to ‘Abruptly’ End Title 42 Border Policy <[link removed]> - A reporter asked Jean-Pierre whether the Biden administration <[link removed]> would keep or lift Title 42, a public health measure used to easily turn illegal migrants away at the border during the COVID-19 pandemic, even after Biden ends the coronavirus public health emergency in May.  “What House Republicans were trying to do is they were trying to really barrel toward abruptly and immediately ending Title 42,” Jean-Pierre told the press. “And what we’re trying to do was to make sure that there was an orderly process to manage… the situation at the border in a way that was, again, orderly and effective.”  Heritage Expert: Virginia Allen <[link removed]>
 
Project 2025 Announces the Launch of the Presidential Administration Academy   <[link removed]> - In these videos, experts that served in prior administrations provide insight on day-one implementation plans for conservatives to govern effectively. Through workshops, seminars, online videos, and mentorship, participants will be qualified and ready to use the tools of the federal government to best serve the American people. The training videos cover everything from "Political Appointees and the Federal Workforce” to “The Federal Background Investigation and Security Clearance Process.”  Heritage Expert: Paul Dans <[link removed]> and Spencer Chretien <[link removed]>
 
Heritage Expert Applauds House Votes to End COVID Emergency, Vaccine Mandate <[link removed]> - House lawmakers were following sound
policy and real science by formally ending the COVID national medical emergency. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported that high levels of vaccine and natural immunity have substantially reduced the risk of several illness, hospitalization, and death. “They also are right to end any coercive mandates from the federal government with regards to the COVID vaccine. Americans should make that decision with their doctors, not to comply with a federal whim. Heritage Expert: Bob Moffit <[link removed]>
