IT HAPPENED! Elon Musk Announces Tesla All-New Water Engine.
Tesla's new Water Engine isn't just another innovation—it represents a complete reversal of Elon Musk's long-standing opposition to hydrogen technology. The shocking announcement reveals Tesla is now testing an advanced hydrogen engine featuring a sophisticated water injection system, marking what industry insiders are calling Musk's most unexpected pivot to date.
The technology appears to build upon groundbreaking work similar to what Austrian firm AVL Racetech developed in partnership with Hungary's HUMDA laboratory, where engineers successfully created a high-performance hydrogen internal combustion engine enhanced with water injection capabilities. This technological breakthrough comes amid a global surge in hydrogen energy investments, with Wood Mackenzie data showing hydrogen-related projects reached a production capacity of 11.1 million tons annually by the end of 2022.
Spain alone accounted for 20% of the world's new hydrogen projects completed in the first quarter of 2022, demonstrating the momentum behind hydrogen as a powerful energy investment. What makes Tesla's approach different is how it leverages hydrogen's benefits while addressing its typical performance limitations through the innovative water injection system. The result is a power output that reportedly shatters previous records for hydrogen propulsion systems, potentially making it a viable alternative to both traditional electric vehicles and conventional internal combustion engines.

Honda Unveils Next Gen Hydrogen Fuel Cell
Honda has pulled the wraps off its next-generation hydrogen fuel cell module, promising a leap forward in cost, durability, and efficiency.
Announced at the H2 & FC EXPO in Tokyo on Wednesday, the new system slashes costs in half while doubling durability compared to its predecessor.
It’s also three times more power-dense, making it significantly more compact and flexible for integration into different platforms.
Next-gen hydrogen fuel cell: What’s new?
Honda has been working on hydrogen fuel cells for decades, and this latest module is a shift away from its previous collaboration with General Motors (GM).
This one is all Honda, designed and built in-house, and it will enter mass production in 2027.
Headline specs include a 150 kW output, a 450-850V voltage range, and a maximum efficiency of 59.8%.
It’s also smaller – Honda has increased volumetric power density threefold, meaning more power in less space.
That makes it far easier to package in everything from vehicles to stationary power units.
Speaking of which, Honda isn’t just thinking about cars. The company is also rolling out its Fuel Cell Power Generator, a stationary hydrogen-based power supply designed for factories, offices, and other large facilities that need zero emissions power on demand.
This unit will enter production a year earlier, in 2026, and promises near-instant power delivery within 10 seconds of startup.
With zero emissions and the ability to scale up to 1,000 kW, it’s a strong contender for clean backup power solutions. If there was a nationwide refuelling network, would you buy a hydrogen car?
To put this in context, Honda’s first-generation fuel cell arrived in 2016 in the Clarity Fuel Cell, a car that never really caught on outside Japan and California.
The current unit, co-developed with GM, made its way into the Honda CR-V e:FCEV in 2024.
This next-gen module, however, is a clean-sheet design with serious improvements in cost and performance.
At 250 kg, the new module offers a power density of 0.60 kW/kg, making the fuel cell more practical and scalable.
It’s also designed to operate in temperatures as low as -30°C, meaning it should be viable in extreme conditions where batteries struggle.

Honda is making hydrogen a central part of its long-term decarbonisation strategy. Alongside fuel cell vehicles, it’s looking at hydrogen-powered commercial trucks, construction machinery, and even off-grid power generation. It’s a four-pronged approach designed to make fuel cells a mainstream alternative to combustion engines and batteries.
Honda has always played the long game with hydrogen. The big question is whether wider infrastructure will catch up in time.
With fuel cell costs now dropping and flexibility increasing, it’s clear that Honda is betting on hydrogen sticking around.

The Liberal Government is Giving Out Free Heroin
Doctors are Aghast at this Liberal policy and this is why there is a 790% increase in druge use and deaths.
Watch this video. See what Doctors have to say. Its shocking. WHO decides on the policies of giving out free heroin?
Scandal in Canada | The Liberal Mishandling of Drugs | London, ON
It's time you know about the deadliest scandal in Canadian history.
London's opioid users say street drugs are getting stronger, cheaper and deadlier.
People who use fentanyl on the streets of London say the deadly opioid is becoming ever cheaper and more powerful, delivering higher highs, while simultaneously raising the risk of overdose death.
Without widespread testing, there's no way of knowing, but the city's drug problem has become more visible in the core, where strung out users lay in alcoves, doorways and on sidewalks where they remain sprawled in broad daylight, sometimes for hours, as passersby go on with their daily business in the city centre.
If [fentanyl is] not strong enough to kill someone, it's not strong enough. - Joey, a London, Ont., street drug user whose name is being kept confidential by CBC News
Relief agency officials say while the problem might appear more visible, it's not because of an increased prevalence of drug abuse. Rather, the city's homeless population has recently doubled, making people who use the drugs to self-medicate for pain, mental illness, or sometimes just to catch some sleep, more visible.
"I really believe it's getting stronger," said Dave, a fentanyl user who spoke to CBC News on the condition his real name would not be used in order to protect him from the stigma of homelessness and drug addiction.
Drugs becoming cheaper, more powerful, more toxic
He was one among a number of users who told CBC News the same thing — the drugs are not only getting stronger, but cheaper as dealers adapt their product to a changing marketplace.

Dave said he believes dealers are cutting opioids with more additives to give users a bigger high, while federal officials say substances such as benzodiazapine, a highly addictive drug used as anti-anxiety medication, or xylizine, a muscle relaxant used in the veterinary care of animals, are becoming more common.
The city needs to do more regular testing of street drugs to reduce the risk of more overdoses, said Dr. Andrea Sereda, a physician with Intercommunity Health and a poverty activist. Since the pandemic, users are taking drugs in ever-larger amounts to offset their increased tolerance to opioids, she added.
"Their tolerance has wildly increased," she said. "Before you might see an individual using maybe three times a day outside, now with that increase in tolerance they may be using every two or three hours."
Whether that means there are more overdoses is hard to tell. Figures on London's overdoses are hard to come by.
No single agency counts overdose deaths in the city and the most recent provincial overdose death statistics date back to last June.
While there are no hard numbers, there are anecdotes from users and outreach workers, and even a recent city hall report cites a rise in "overdoses and the toxicity of street substances" over the last 18 months.
Dave said he doesn't trust the drugs — just the naloxone kit he keeps with him, something that's become as common in the tents of London's homeless population as first aid kits in suburban homes.
"You need to have narcan at your side, [and do drugs] with a friend," he said.
Naloxone distribution has exploded in the last 5 years
According to figures from the Middlesex-London Health Unit, the rate at which the life-saving drug is being given out has exploded from 2,374 given out in 2018, to 9,965 last year.

Pharmacies in the London area have also been giving out Narcan kits by the hundreds of thousands since 2019, with 339,110 kits distributed last year at up to 181 locations in Middlesex County, according to health unit data.
By distributing the free antidote, a drug that carries no health risks, critics of safe supply say it only encourages drug users by giving them a parachute, one that allows them to push their body to its limits for a higher high, knowing that if they do overdose, they can be instantly revived.
"You want to have the strongest stuff possible. In my eyes, if it's not strong enough to kill someone, it's not strong enough," said Joey, another homeless fentanyl user who CBC News has agreed not to identify.
Dealers often advertise their product as the strongest because it's what users want, Joey said.
"You want something stronger, you're also saving money. If you're homeless, money is hard to come by."
Ukraine's $200 Billion U.S. Aid, Zelensky Asks 'Where is the Money"?
On February 2, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said he had only received $75 billion of the $175 billion the United States had spent on Ukraine. The cry went up, what happened to the other $100 billion? Was it lost or stolen? The answer is no. Only part of the aid goes through Ukrainian control. A large part pays for activities as a result of the war but not to Ukraine directly. These include the United States training of Ukrainian forces, global humanitarian assistance, additional costs of U.S. surge forces in Europe, and intelligence support for both NATO and Ukraine.
As CSIS has reported before, “aid to Ukraine” is a misnomer because 90 percent of military aid is spent in the United States. Of aid overall, 60 percent is spent in the United States, about 25 percent is spent in Ukraine, and the final 15 percent is spent globally.
Q1: What did President Zelensky say that started this controversy?
A1: In an interview with the Associated Press on February 2, Zelensky stated: When I hear that America gave Ukraine hundreds of billions [of dollars], 177, to be more precise . . . as the president of a warring country, I can tell you that we received just over 75 . . . We are talking about specific things, because we got it, not with money but with weapons. There is training, there is additional transport, there are not only prices for weapons. There were humanitarian programs, social, etc. . . . $100 billion of these 177, we never received. When it’s said that Ukraine received $200 billion to support the army during the war, that is not true. I don’t know where all the money is.
The statement is a bit confusing since he was speaking off the cuff in a video interview. He refers to both $177 billion and $200 billion. He speaks about supporting the “army” where aid helped all elements of the Ukrainian armed forces, and he appears to include only weapons as aid “received.”
Q2: How was that interpreted?
A2: Many people asked where the “missing” $100 billion went and seized on the statement, “I don’t know where all the money is.”
Comment sections of media reports flamed with accusations of corruption and malfeasance. Some online commentators speculated about corruption by the CIA, Ukrainian officials, or former President Joe Biden. Some linked it to viral social media claims alleging a conspiracy involving U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) payments to celebrities to visit Ukraine. Others cited this as evidence of government waste, suggesting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) investigate and identify cuts. DOGE had previously raised concerns about the U.S. government’s ability to track aid to Ukraine. Members of Congress and Elon Musk, who leads DOGE, amplified posts questioning the misuse of aids.
General Keith Kellogg, the Trump administration’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, denied these interpretations. He noted that “we have a pretty good accounting of where it is going” and that most appropriated funds are spent in the United States.
Nevertheless, the controversy has had an effect. In private conversations, Republican congressional staff members say that the confusion and hint of corruption have poisoned the possibility of further aid, at least in the near term.
Q3: So, what happened to the “missing” $100 billion?
A3: The short answer is that it is not missing. The funds went (mostly) to activities that arose because of the war, and all are accounted for. Some paid for sending equipment and funds directly to Ukraine. A large part went to activities that arose because of the war but were not spent in Ukraine. To see why this is the case, it is important to look at the funding as a whole.
Since 2022, Congress has appropriated $175.2 billion in aid as a result of the war in Ukraine, a slight difference from the $177 billion that Zelensky cites. This includes all funds in the five supplemental appropriations, $900 million in the regular budget but excludes $9 billion in loans. Most has been delivered, and most of the remainder has been obligated through contracts and binding commitments. However, it will take many years for all the contracts to be completed and the money disbursed.
In past analyses, CSIS has divided aid to Ukraine into categories to illustrate the different purposes. Figure 1 shows how the $175 billion is laid out in seven categories. It’s all there, the $75 billion Zelensky cites and the “missing” $100 billion.
Military equipment: Replacement of equipment sent to Ukraine from U.S. stockpiles (through Presidential Drawdown Authority) and foreign military financing of equipment for Ukraine. U.S. industrial base and general Department of Defense (DOD) spending: Items that enhance U.S. military capabilities, particularly the defense industrial base, but are not directly related to the war in Ukraine. Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI): Mostly money for Ukraine to procure equipment directly from U.S. manufacturers, also supports maintenance of Ukrainian equipment, training of Ukrainian personnel and units, and Ukraine-related intelligence activities.
U.S. forces: Funds for the extra costs of U.S. forces that surged to Europe in response to Russian aggression. Some of these surge forces have returned to the United States, but others remain. Humanitarian aid: Aid to relieve suffering because of the war. Mostly done through nongovernmental organizations in Europe for Ukrainian refugees, though some is spent in the United States and Ukraine. Some of the budget is also spent on global food relief. About $3 billion has gone to international development, unrelated to the war.
Economic: U.S. funds are provided to the Ukrainian government through the World Bank to make up for lost tax revenues and to keep governmental services operating. Other U.S. agencies: Funds for activities in U.S. agencies other than the DOD, Department of State, and USAID, for example, for the Department of the Treasury to enforce sanctions and for the Department of Energy to safeguard nuclear materials.
March 23, 2025 - 50,000 Palestinians Have Been Killed. What?
That number - 50,021 - equates to about 2.1% of the 2.3 million pre-war population of the territory, or around 1 in 46 people.
A total of 113,274 others had been injured in the same period, the health ministry said.
International journalists, including the BBC, are blocked by Israel from entering Gaza independently, so are unable to verify figures from either side.
The figures released by the MoH for the number of people killed do not differentiate between civilians and fighters.
In November, the UN's Human Rights Office said its analysis showed close to 70% of verified victims over a six-month period were women and children.
In January, The Lancet medical journal published a study which suggested the death toll could in fact be substantially higher than official figures reported by MoH - by up to 41%.
The war was triggered by Hamas's attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people, mainly civilians, were killed and 251 other taken hostage.
Israel responded to the 7 October attack with a massive military offensive, which has caused vast destruction to homes and infrastructure, in addition to those killed or injured.
The MoH also reported on Sunday at least 39 deaths in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of people killed to 673 since Israel resumed its military operations in the territory on Tuesday.

Silent Determination to Protect One's Self & Property.
The Debate on Self-Defense
The idea of families arming themselves for protection is a contentious one. Advocates argue that owning firearms can provide a means of defense against threats like home invasions or carjackings. However, experts emphasize that self-defense is not solely about owning a weapon. Situational awareness, safety planning, and self-defense training are critical components of personal and family safety.
Addressing Carjackings and Holdups
Carjackings, often involving firearms, have become a growing concern. Experts recommend strategies such as maintaining situational awareness, avoiding high-risk areas, and keeping car doors locked and windows up when stationary6. In the event of an attack, prioritizing personal safety over material possessions is crucial.
Concerns About Tyranny
The rise in violent crimes has also sparked broader societal fears, including concerns about the erosion of democratic freedoms and the potential for authoritarianism. Historians and political analysts suggest that defending democratic institutions and fostering community resilience are vital in countering such fears.
Moving Forward
While the increase in gun violence is alarming, solutions require a multifaceted approach. Strengthening community ties, advocating for effective gun control measures, and investing in public safety initiatives are essential steps. Families can also take proactive measures by creating safety plans, enrolling in self-defense classes, and staying informed about local crime trends.
The path forward lies in balancing individual safety with collective action to address the root causes of violence. By fostering a culture of awareness and preparedness, communities can work towards a safer future.
The Case for Armed Self-Defense
In situations where intruders are armed, physical confrontation or reliance on traditional self-defense techniques may not be enough. Proponents of firearm ownership assert that good citizens should have the freedom to protect themselves and their loved ones with equal force. They view this as a fundamental right tied to personal safety and security.

Tesla Losing Ground to BYD - The Worlds Battery Leader
Chinese company BYD sold more electric vehicles than Elon Musk's Tesla in the last three months of 2023 as the two battled for top spot in the sector. BYD said on Monday it had sold a record 526,000 battery-only vehicles in the final quarter of 2023.
It marked the first quarter its battery-only sales have outpaced Tesla's. The US-based firm has seen demand slow as borrowing costs climb. However, for the whole of 2023, Mr Musk's Tesla still sold more.
But it fell short of earlier hopes. Last January, Mr Musk said that Tesla had the potential to achieve two million deliveries in 2023.
The firm cut prices repeatedly to try to woo buyers. The milestone achieved by BYD is a reminder of the challenges facing the firm, which helped to launch the electric vehicle industry. "As BYD has accelerated into the fast lane, it's fresh evidence of just how competitive the EV market has become and how hard it will be for Tesla to swerve back to head the pack," said Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown.
For the year as a whole, Shenzen-based BYD sold more than 3 million so-called-new energy vehicles (NEVs), which includes battery-only vehicles and hybrids. Almost 1.6 million of its total sales were battery-only vehicles, the firm said.
BYD's chief executive Wang Chuanfu co-founded BYD with his cousin in Shenzhen in 1995.
The company made a name for itself as a manufacturer of rechargeable batteries - used in smartphones, laptops and other electronics - that competed with pricier Japanese imports. It started selling its shares on the stock market in 2002 and diversified by purchasing a struggling state-owned car manufacturer, Qinchuan Automobile Company. Since 2008 BYD has counted veteran US investor Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway as a shareholder.
Analysts say BYD owes its growth to its original business - batteries. They are among the most expensive parts of an EV and making them in-house saves BYD a lot of money. Many of BYD's competitors rely on third-party manufacturers for batteries. BYD's battery business helped to give it flexibility to cut prices sharply at the end of 2023, lifting sales, which jumped by 70% in December alone.

Toyota Released New $13,000/$20,000 EV & Obliterating Tesla?
When you’re able to offer an EV with 267 miles of driving range, an impressive driver assist suite, and decent styling for under $20,000, you better believe it’s going to be popular. That’s exactly what the 2026 Toyota bZ3X did in China, and the launch was so well received that it crashed Toyota-GACs order servers for some time. Let’s look at what we’re missing.
The bZ3X—known as the Bozhi 3X, or Platinum 3X when translated—is a small all-electric crossover SUV made for the Chinese market through the Toyota-GAC (Guangzhou Automobile Group Company) joint venture. It had a soft pre-launch in December where it was offered for around $14,000, but in March Toyota officially opened its order books for its cheapest EV in China. It was so cheap that it secured over 10,000 orders in just one hour and overwhelmed their servers. To put that into perspective, according to Electrek, the BYD Atto 3 is similarly sized but is nearly $1,000 more expensive to start. 2026 Toyota bZ3X GAC Chinese China EV Electric Vehicle 3
There are two models with two battery pack sizes and five trim options available for the bZ3X. The base model without any full self-driving technology and other complicated ADAS features from Nvidia called the Nvidia Drive AGX Orin X, starts at 109,800 yuan or around $15,000. If you opt in for the Nvidia technology, add another 40,000 yuan for around $20,500. The standard battery pack is the 430 Air, a 50.03 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) pack good for up to 267 miles of range. The larger “610 Max” offers a battery with up to 370 miles of range with its 67.92 kWh LFP pack.
Inside is a bit of a home-away-from-home design that’s very popular in China. All seats fold flat to offer up to 10 feet of nearly flat surface to lounge in. The 14.6-inch infotainment screen offers massive views for this price point, but the instrument panel consists of an 8.8-inch digital display. It’s also a very simple dashboard layout with no other buttons save for the start and hazard light switches, but the HVAC vents are discrete.
As it’s a joint venture build with GAC for China, it’s unlikely that it will ever be brought over due to the Biden-era rules still in place effectively banning Chinese-built vehicles in the US. Even if they were to overcome those rules, the current—and in constant flux—tariff situation would make the bZ3X far more expensive to sell here after taking importation into account. It would not cost fifteen grand, in other words, a shame considering one of the barriers to entry to EVs their often richer pricing versus equivalent gas-powered offerings. 2026 Toyota bZ3X GAC Chinese China EV Electric Vehicle 1
That said, in 2025, pricing in general represents a huge hurtle to new vehicle ownership, regardless of what power source you go with. Currently, the cheapest vehicle on sale here in the U.S. is the Nissan Versa S at $18,330, but who knows how long the Versa will continue to be produced with everything going on at Nissan, along with the industry's drift away from small, affordable vehicles (the subcompact segment that the Versa competes in, after all, is down to only two models—soon to be one). Above those, no new vehicle starts at under $20,000, with the next cheapest being the 2025 Chevrolet Trax at $21,495. If Toyota could find a way to bring over the bZ3X or something like it, it could be a huge win, but pulling off such a cheap price outside of the Chinese market would be nearly impossible.

Ford is increasing its presence in China, shifting production of some models like the Lincoln Nautilus to China and importing these vehicles to the US, while also expanding joint ventures with Changan Automobile.

Russia's Response To Trump Is A Masterclass in Ukraine Ceasefire
I have seen inside Ukraine video images and it look very sad. No democracy, only fear and corruption. Young man are being kidnapped to the front lines and there are wire fences everywhere. Its very sad. And yet the media is NOT addressing this, only the FORCES. How bout we all start covering the "people of Ukraine" that can't talk, are fearful of talking. Even people outside the country are still fearful of talking about what is going on in Ukraine.

Rachel Zegler: "f*** donald trump." Disney's Snow White speaks out.
Wow what kind of Snow White is that?
And why do hollywood stars feel the need to reach out politically against half of their fanbase and destroy their careers?
Rachel Zegler at the "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" photo shoot at Savoy Place in London on March 6, 2023. The actor has criticized Donald Trump and Elon Musk on social media. Dave J. Hogan/Getty Images "I find myself speechless in the midst of this. another four years of hatred, leaning us towards a world i do not want to live in," Zegler wrote.
She continued: "I shouldn't be this shocked. but i am. i am heartbroken for my friends who awoke [in] fear this morning. and i am here with you. to cry, to yell, to hug. to wax poetic on how the left continues to fail us in forging a new path forward. this loss should not have been. and it certainly should not have been by so many votes."
In a follow-up post, Zegler said there was a "deep, deep sickness" in the United States, considering how many people voted for a "man who threatens our democracy."
She added: "It is terrifying the number of people who stand behind what this man preaches. it is a foolish subscription to a false sense of security, of masculinity, of intelligence, of patriotism, and of humanity. there is no help, no counsel, in any of them. i could go on. i won't. i feel sad. you probably do, too. f*** this."
Zegler also encouraged readers to stop using X, the social media platform owned by billionaire Elon Musk. Leading up to the election, the tech mogul campaigned for Trump, and on Wednesday, the president-elect named Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy as leaders of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency.
"I don't use that app for a reason. he helped get that man elected and you're giving him business," Zegler wrote. In another post, she said she was going onstage for the second act of Romeo + Juliet and needed to "get off my soapbox before i get too heated."
She concluded the post: "Sending love to everyone who needs it today. may we all carry each other through the worst and hold these politicians accountable. your dem govs just got very important! they already were but hey! follow your governors! hold them accountable. local government is where we will make real change. this is not the end. ever.
"I will love through these four years as best i can. f*** donald trump."
When approached for comment by Newsweek, a spokesperson for Zegler directed us to a post the actor had just made to her Instagram story on Thursday night.
"Hi everyone, I would like to sincerely apologize for the election post I shared on my Instagram last week. I let my emotions get the best of me," she wrote.
"Hatred and anger have caused us to move further and further away from peace and understanding, and I am sorry I contributed to the negative discourse," she said. "This week has been emotional for so many of us, but I firmly believe that everyone has the right to their opinion, even when it differs from my own. I am committed to contributing positively toward a better tomorrow."

All Wheel Drive Dirt Bikes - What Happened?
While all-wheel drive dirt bikes, particularly the Christini AWD system, gained attention and some success, they didn't revolutionize the sport as initially hoped, and haven't become mainstream due to factors like added weight, complexity, and a perceived lack of performance advantage in some conditions.
All-Wheel Drive Explained
An all-wheel-drive motorcycle is a bit on a unicorn. Unless you are Steve Christini and you have been making them for nearly 20 years now. Starting with kit conversions for Honda and KTMs, in 2002 he began producing his own motorcycle in two and four stroke versions in a collaboration with an Asian motorcycle manufacturing company and with Gas Gas for the two-stroke engines. In its third iteration the current 450AWD may be the bike you’ve been looking for–and even if not–you are curious. Here is why.
Adding drive to the front of a motorcycle is not a simple thing to do. Or at least do it correctly, which is why much of the Christini system is protected by patents that make it difficult if not downright impossible to copy. Transferring power through a steering stem and not having a significant amount of torque steer is the trick Christini mastered.
So, what does a two-wheel drive motorcycle do and do we really need this technology? The funny thing is, and I have a ton of time on these bikes, that it isn’t what you would really expect. The expectation and assumption is you’ll climb hills better and be able to drift turns with steering input does not really shine through. But the traits that really stand out are the instant get-up-and-go from a standing stop, especially in low traction situations and how the system seems to work more like a traction control system that really works compared to electronic ones that cut power. Due to the traction coefficient and the fact that the weight load of the bike is constantly changing when the bike is working the ground, the front wheel’s ability to pull the motorcycle along instantaneously and help distribute the power rather than having the power cut when the rear wheel spins (also when you may really need power) really makes sense. Yet most of the time when you are just riding along you may not even know or feel that AWD system working.
The system has been criticized for adding complexity and weight to a motorcycle, which it does. But even though complex, in our many hours with different bikes we have had minimal issues with the AWD specific parts aside from the newer lighter duty handlebar mounted switch being finicky. The weight, about 305 pounds full of gas, is a necessary evil. And about the only thing from an ergonomics perspective is the left side of the frame has a slight bulge where your inner leg rests when sitting or where your knees may pass when standing, depending on the size of the rider.
Where the Christini really shines is in low traction of any kind. Whether sand, mud or snow, the bike gets up and goes right away. It wants to go forward (or whatever direction the bars are turned) as soon as power hits the ground instead of digging in a little bit before going forward. When in motion in low traction, any time a rider comes back on the power that same initial bite or burst of traction is evident compared to a regular bike. This is really apparent on gravel which typically has the front end deflecting. In off-camber areas the rear end is less prone to continue to slide downhill as the front will actually help the bike track back in line when the rear slips. And when turning the bike in an upright (not leaned) angle like in tight trees, as soon as the front wheel gets through and is turned, a rider can use the power to pivot the bike and not push the front end. When going through V-ditches the pull of a weighted front as opposed to the light rear wheel is an advantage in getting a drive out of the ditch, not into it.
Some other characteristics of the system are a built in steering-stabilizer characteristic since the front end is technically pulling its own way forward as opposed to being pushed. We have found (and is seems the military too) that novice riders can really benefit from the ability of the front wheel to pull the rider back into balance when things start to go wrong since there are two tires trying to grab traction. A lot of time riders fall onto the front end and unweight the rear when bad things happen. And since balance is more difficult at lower speeds, the ability of the bike to get some speed quickly from a stop helps as well.
Now that we’ve explained the AWD advantages and disadvantages, here’s how this specific bike works. It is sold as a street-legal dual purpose machine. So it is technically corked up (quiet muffler and catalyst equipped) with a leaner ECU setting. We noticed the mostly Asia Wing built bike (China) will not have the fit and finish of a Honda or a KTM. With parts made in Taiwan, Austria, Indiana and in finally assembled in Philadelphia, PA. Though the quality has improved quite a bit in the last few years, there is some bracketry and hardware that seemed second class. And the wiring harness and loom could be sanitized quite a bit. We’d suggest an owner give all this a once-over and make sure wires are not touching things they shouldn’t or getting pinched. But overall the new black frame and motor look sharp and the bike has a decent look with some parts that are very sano and well built. The wheels impressed us. The AWD system is very robust and tight.
The 450cc motor fires right up and has a stepper motor to bump the idle up when cold or for a re-start. Throttle response is not a quick and instant as most current FI bikes but it is worlds better that the previous generation of Christini that felt like it had a one-second delay between the turn of the throttle and the response of the motor. More of a classic thumper in style the power pulses can be felt and the motor chugs out power rather than blurs the power together with revs. Off of idle the is plenty of torque and it builds progressively without steps in the power delivery all the way through the rev range. It is not a race-style motor by any means but it is just what a trail rider is looking for. Considering the use of this bike we’d say the power is perfect for the application and is always plentiful. The FI mapping is spot on and handled elevation and temperature changes as good as any system. There was the random low RPM stall for no apparent reason, like a hiccup, but not often enough for us to call it an issue, but we were over-testing the torque of the motor when it would happen. There is a cooling fan on the radiator and we had it running in our tougher trails yet the bike never lost coolant. It also has a recovery tank which must be working.
Since it builds revs slowly each gear in the five speed box lasts a long time with more of a close ratio profile to the gearbox. First is just a tad tall and fifth is not tall enough in our opinion. In a spread like this we’d like to have a sixth speed. The clutch pull is very light and it seemed to take abuse quite well. In fact we’d say Christini performs better than even the Honda engne it looks so much like in this department. Shifting gets better as the bike breaks in and after the first oil change too. The brakes are not the strongest and lack the feel of the top of the line bikes we are typically on. But they slow the bike just fine. And when in AWD the front actually has a built-in anti-lock of sorts due to the drive.
Onto the handling of the bike and you can feel the weight of the 300-pound bike. But it isn’t as bad as the scale makes it sound and more of a characteristic of the AWD feeling in the handlebar when things get testy and learning to use the advantages of the bike and not fighting them. Which was very dependant on the skill level of the rider, we have noticed. Most novice riders never commented on the weight unless picking up the bike. Riders of higher level that were not open to the different characteristics always said the bike felt heavy (as they fought the bike) and riders that appreciated the advantages said the bike acts lighter than they thought it would be.
The Christini has a balanced chassis with suspension set on the softer side of the setup, especially in times when everything is getting stiffer. The WP XPLOR front fork is of the same pedigree as the current KTM EXC bikes and it is supple and uses the stroke well. The Fast Ace rear shock is valved to match with a softer and very plush feel. It too uses the stroke to take the harshness out of the ground and together they give the ride a planted and connected feel for the ground. Yet both could ends could use some improved bottoming resistance for faster speeds or more aggressive level riding if that is in the cards. No racing speeds, this isn’t an issue. As we put more time on the bike we may test one of the accessory Elka shocks that come on the two-stroke Christini to see if that gives the bike more wings.
Right from the get-go the Christini has a longer feel with the front end a bit raked out. Especially if the AWD is turned off. This adds stability to the handling character and the turning is sluggish. But as soon as you engage the AWD this character goes away and the bike turns predictably and easily. The stability is still there but the front end becomes more active. Since it will compress into the turn with softer suspension and technically pull its way through the turns the bike works really good here as long as the rider does not fight the bars in the turns. When bouncing in rougher terrain the active pull of the front seems to really help the suspension not slam into things so the softer setup is not as detrimental as it could be with the AWD off. Then as we explained earlier, the instant jump the Christini gets either from a stop or when the throttle is twisted is an advantage every time you get on the gas and more and more as a rider learns to gas it out of tough situations and trust the extra traction. It is traction control that works.
Overall the Christini 450AWD is a platform that is unique and we feel surprisingly under utilized. We’ve been lucky enough to test it on a heavy adventure bike and it is game changing. But for a trail rider or a novice ride looking for something to make technical riding a little bit easier, aside from the weight, this bike is a viable choice. Using a competent and familiar platform and upping the game with fuel injection the Christini is staying current and in a price range that is a deal considering the unique AWD. We’ll be putting more time on the bike, looking into performance modifications and durability and keep you updated on the progress.

“Michelle Obama Is A Man” - Elon Musk's FATHER
"We realised Obama is a queer who is married to a man who dresses as a woman. We all learned that. It's not common knowledge," he said during an interview with Joshua Rubin on 'Wide Awake Podcast'.
Shocked, the host asked him, "Michelle Obama is a man?"
Errol said, "Of course, you don't know that?"
He then went on to cite a conspiracy theory that went viral in 2014 when comedian John Rivers joked about the former first lady's gender. He had also alleged that Barack Obama is "gay".
"John Rivers mentioned it publicly and she was dead two weeks later by the way. They axed her, yeah. So that's common knowledge. You can look it up anywhere," Errol said.
Rivers died on September 4, 2014, due to brain damage a few weeks after making the bizarre claim. There is no evidence to this claim to date.
"And yeah, Michelle Obama is a man, obviously. They have pictures of her in tracksuits with her 9-inch schlong hanging down...it's leg," Errol added.
Even Ukraine Can’t Believe What NORWAY Just Did in Massive Support!
It is amazing how Europe is rallying to Ukraine and rightfully so. But why is Canada outspending support for Ukraine? Trudeau is offering and spending money that he should not be. He resigned and wa fired by the Canadian people. 90% of Canadian do not like Trudeau. Why would the Canadian government allow Trudeau to offer and negotiate Canadian taxpaper dollars? There should be a proxy in Canada to look after foreign affirs, but not Trudeau...who is known to be the most corrupt prime minister in Canadian history. Canada, get him OUT of international affairs, the people demand it.

2025 Motorcycle Market Meltdown: Bike Dealers Can’t Move Stock
While there has been slow movement in the motorcycle industry, inventory has not been moving and even dealerships are starting to close.
Even the most established dealers can't make it in 2025. Among dealers, the new concern now is increased tariffs that will inevitably drive prices even higher.
The other reason for slow sales, is consumer reluctance to purchase these days with jobs disappearing. It's a global issue and this may ake some time to resolve. We hope not. On the other hand used bike sales tend to be still active, but considerably lower than in the past.
So maybe now might be a good time to look for deals on new or old models. Prices are expected to drop on new models. Keep your eye on the market... either way its changing dramatically.

Robert DeNiro Completely ROASTED in New York City March 4, 2025
Things are starting to change and is incredible to see. Not just too long ago Deniro had a platform, some people listened. Some people where there for him. so in March of 2025, he thought it would be a safe bet to go to sanctuary city, New York, where there would ears that would listen to his plight and his hatred for Trump... but it did not happen.
In fact, quite the opposite, he was booed, jeered, insulted and called a slew of names... in New York.
And so Deniro's confidence that he was right and everyone was wrong turned out to be wrong.
Having said that, Hollywood still is still strongly left and severely woke almost to the core. But there are growing number of actors that do not share the woke left stand and they are becoming stars to the American people.
It is interesting to see the gradual decline of this diminishing minority that just screams weakness, vile hatred and anger. It is so blatant and so obvious. Yet some continue to be painted into a corner that is getting tighter and tighter. However, everyone knows who you are and how you get on the wrong horse and the ridicule and shame you will have to carry, just like Mr. Deniro. No matter where Deniro goes now, he is booed info oblivion.
It hurts to pick the wrong horse. But why would actors get political when 50% of their paying audience is left and right? And so it affects their income and that is where it will hurt the most and no doubt their pride.

America’s Missing Gold: The BIGGEST Cover-up in History
Is the gold missing? Has the Biden family gotten to it?
Here’s the latest buzz about American gold reserves:
Fort Knox Gold Reserves: Fort Knox, the legendary depository in Kentucky, holds about 147.3 million ounces of gold, which is roughly half of the U.S. Treasury's stored gold. The facility is highly secure, and only small quantities of gold have been removed for purity testing during audits.
Calls for Transparency: There’s been renewed interest in auditing America’s gold reserves. The last credible audit was decades ago, and some are pushing for legislation like the Gold Reserve Transparency Act to ensure regular and independent audits.
Gold Movement: Recently, U.S. banks have been moving gold from London to New York due to market dynamics and fears of potential trade tariffs. This has caused a stir in the gold market, with prices surging.
