1-18-25, DANGER OF FIRE = EV CARS VS GAS CARS = ELECTRIC CAR fires have specific additional toxicity risks vs gas cars. Heat release rate was similar for both as toxic gases are present in smoke (e.g. CO, HF, HCl, SO2). However, the smoke from electric battery operated vehicles have greater levels of HF (hydrogen fluoride) depending on battery chemistry (Ni, Co, Li, Mn) and they burn for 12 HOURS vs 15 mins for gas cars. Therefore, the insurance costs are higher. Reportedly, California has more EV cars than any other USA state - how many are on fire putting off poisonous smoke? https://www.pinfa.eu/news/toxic-gases-from-electric-vehicle-fires/ and here: https://www.autoinsuranceez.com/gas-vs-electric-car-fires/ and here https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61082

1-18-25, CNN GUILTY AGAIN of libel. A Florida jury awarded USA NAVY VETERAN ZACHARY YOUNG $5 million in compensatory damages; an undisclosed settlement was reached later regarding unreported punitive damages.

​ The decision comes after 3+ years of litigation & 8-day trial. The Judge William S. Henry previously ruled that Young "did not act illegally or criminally” despite what CNN reported on air. CNN BRAZENLY published lies about Mr Young who charged that CNN smeared him by claiming he illegally profited when - for a fee - he helped people flee Afghanistan.

CNN said it was done in 2021 on the "black market" during the Biden’s military surrender and exit. Young charged CNN "destroyed his reputation and business" by branding him an illegal profiteer" who exploited "desperate Afghans.” The Bay County Florida jurors never had rule, as a settlement was reached behind closed doors. Zachary Young became emotional on the witness stand when he testified how CNN’s lies impacted his marriage. He rescued at least 22 women from Afghanistan, but that information was never reported by CNN. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/cnn-found-guilty-florida-trial-libeling-navy-veteran-afghan-story-rcna188190

1-17-25, Israel hostage deal with Islamic terrorists … There is cause for hope even tho in the past Hamas lied. Recently Israeli Cabinet Sec reported that the current deal “is the same deal as May 27” which Hamas rejected… then they insisted any deal had immediate and permanent end to the war, complete IDF withdrawal from the Gaza and a significant role for Hamas in post-war Gaza, along with binding international guarantees of the same. However, in current deal, Hamas has achieved none of those goals, and there’s a reason why. DONALD J. TRUMP 👏‼️ https://www.algemeiner.com/2025/01/16/bright-dark-sides-hostage-deal/
