2024 CFMOTO 450NK Review | First RideThe 450NK is one of four bikes in CFMOTO’s lineup powered by a liquid-cooled 449cc parallel-Twin with dual counterbalancers and a lively 270-degree crank. (Photos by Kevin Wing) As a husky guy who’s 6 feet tall and more than 200 lb, I’m not the target buyer for small bikes, but man, I sure love riding them. Don’t get me wrong; I love riding powerful bikes (like the 190-hp KTM 1390 Super Duke R Evo I track-tested in Spain) and big bikes (like the Harley-Davidson Glides I recently rode on a nine-day, 4,200-mile tour through four states), but they require a level of respect and seriousness that I’m not always in the mood for. Sometimes I just wanna have fun. The CFMOTO 450NK has carefree written all over it. It weighs just 364 lb, makes 50 hp at the crank, and has nothing to figure…

Justice Kavanaugh’s Concurrence in Labrador v. PoeEarlier, I noted that Labrador v. Poe was the Supreme Court’s most significant shadow docket decision since the shadow docket became a thing. Justice Gorsuch’s concurrence, which was joined by Justices Thomas and Alito, signals that the Court will now carefully scrutinize non-party, universal injunctions issued against state laws. Perhaps even more significant was Justice Kavanaugh’s concurrence, which was joined by Justice Barrett. Justice Kavanaugh addresses a threshold question: what are the “best processes for analyzing likelihood of success on the merits in emergency cases”? This may be the most important opinion that Justice Kavanaugh has written on the Supreme Court. Justice Kavanaugh is laying out a unifying theory for the Shadow Docket. Every page brought new insights that reflect thoughtful consideration of a very complex topic. As regular readers know, I am often an outspoken critics of Justice Kavanaugh’s separate writings, but his Labradaor…

‘They’re the Commies!’ The View’s Joy Behar Goes Off on Republicans Who Would Have Been ‘B…The View’s Joy Behar flat out accused Republicans of being “communists” who would have been “blacklisted” once upon a time. On Thursday’s episode, Behar and her co-hosts watched clips of multiple fiery exchanges in the House this week, which included Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) laying into Rep. James Comer (R-KY) over a lack of evidence in Republicans’ probe of President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) clashing with multiple Democratic colleagues. View co-host Whoopi Goldberg described Republicans as “snowflaky,” referencing a popular insult used by conservatives. “I’m discovering that most of the folks on the other side are the snowflakes. They’re the ones that are afraid of information. They’re the ones who are afraid of history. It’s not us. It’s y’all,” she said. Behar took things further and…

Jesse Ventura Takes Control of CNN Segment: ‘Let’s Move on to Why I’m Really Here, Erin – Ca…CNN’s Erin Burnett discussed politics with former third-party Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura on Thursday before the former professional wrestler took control of the interview, saying, “But let’s move on to why I’m really here, Erin – cannabis.” “All right…and I was about to jump in and force you there, but you were going on!” Burnett said, continuing: BURNETT: I know you’re passionate about cannabis. It is how you spend your time. Can I ask you about this? ‘Cause you have put a lot of time into the effectiveness of medical marijuana, and I know the reason you’ve done this is ’cause you say it saved your family’s life. It stopped your wife’s seizures. So you’ve dedicated yourself to this. Biden has moved to decriminalize it, finally. It wasn’t initial thought, but he has…

Dan Crenshaw Accuses Marjorie Taylor Greene of Wanting GOP to Lose the House: It’s ‘Bullsh*t’Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) said he’s “still trying to process all the bullshit,” when it comes to hardline Republicans trying to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). Johnson is trying to get House members to support foreign aid bills that would provide aid to Ukraine and Israel. MAGA Republicans like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) are adamantly against any additional aid to Ukraine. Greene has already filed a motion to vacate Johnson’s seat, a move that is backed by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY). Crenshaw spoke with CNN’s Manu Raju, about the MAGA stance saying, “I guess their reasoning is they they want Russia to win so badly that they want to oust the speaker over it. I mean, it’s a strange position to take. And, you know, I think, they want to be in the minority, too….

House votes on Israel, Ukraine aid could affect Speaker Johnson’s jobViewThe Republican-majority House of Representatives could vote on a $95 billion package for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific as early as Saturday. It is the same amount that was requested by the Biden administration months ago — and that package now has the president’s support. How did we get here?Weeks ago, the Senate passed a foreign aid package that would have helped Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan and Pacific allies, and provided humanitarian assistance to Gaza.And for weeks on the House of Representatives side, there were questions as to whether or not that bill would ever come up for a vote. Within the last several days, we finally got direction from Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who said the House would vote on the different issues individually.The White House has since backed the proposal.But each of the bills still has to get out…
