Electric Cars & California The article I read was about the new mandate made by California to sell only electric cars by 2035. The article talked about the feasibility of this mandate. For example, the article had a section about whether or not California could do this legally. This section of the article talked about how California has been regulating their emissions since before the EPA existed, and because of this, California has been granted waivers from the federal government to pass their own air quality and emissions rules, which are often stricter than the federal government rules. The Trump administration has been challenging California's waivers in court because they claim that only the EPA should be regulating auto emissions. The article said that lawsuits over the authority of the EPA are still under review, and that if either the EPA prevails in the lawsuits or the Trump administration has a second term, this mandate for electric cars could be nearly impossible to...

The original fight for the region ended over 30 years ago, with a ceasefire being signed after a war that caused 30,000 deaths.

Along with that, Turkey has only been making things worse by supporting Azerbai...
Charlie McGill Mr. Roddy GPHC 12/9/2020 Republicans Rediscover the Dangers of Selling Bunk to Their Constituents In the Atlantic’s article Republicans Rediscover the Dangers of Selling Bunk to Their Constituents , author Rachel Shelden compares Donald Trump’s energetic, inflammatory presidential campaign with the actions of southern Democratic congressmen in the mid-19th century. During this time, southern representatives often delivered “buncombe” speeches, speeches that were designed not to convince their fellow representatives of the merits of any particular policy, but crafted to prove their pro-slavery credentials and energize their constituents back home. These speeches frequently insulted Republican politicians, and warned of the dangers of a Republican taking office to the system of slavery. They even claimed that Northerners wanted to enslave Southerners by “depriving them of their right to property!” Due to the manner of these speeches, it should therefore be no surprise th...
