America Hating, Jew Hating, Pro-Terrorist “Socialists” Sweep In NY Primaries

This seems to be Mamdani’s party now

Far-left surge: Mamdani-backed candidates oust Dem establishment incumbents

New York City’s socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani did it again.

One year after sending political shock waves across the country with his New York City Democratic primary victory on his way to winning election as mayor of the nation’s most populous city, Mamdani tested the limits of his political powers.

And he easily passed the test, upending the Democratic Party establishment as a trio of Mamdani-endorsed far-left congressional candidates won their primaries over more moderate incumbents and rivals.

Let’s be clear, they are not left wing, they are far to the right in the Authoritarian model. A few in the Theocracy model

The mayor’s most shocking victory came in New York’s 13th Congressional District, where Mamdani-backed candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier, a 32-year-old community organizer and democratic socialist, narrowly topped incumbent Democrat Adriano Espaillat, the 71-year-old Congressional Hispanic Caucus chair and the first Dominican American elected to the U.S. House.

Chevalier’s reported, past and now deleted, social media jabs at former Presidents Barack Obama, whom she called “evil,” and Joe Biden, whom she labeled a “war criminal,” along with her previous support to abolish the police and get rid of prisons, grabbed plenty of attention in recent weeks.

She also wants to abolish ICE and open the borders

In the race to succeed retiring Democratic Rep. Nydia Velazquez, Mamdani-endorsed state Assembly Member Claire Valdez, who is also aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America, defeated Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso by double digits. Reynoso, who was supported by Velazquez, was downed by more than 20 points.

She’s all in on grooming children, letting them all be fully gender confused, hating on Israel and Jews, abolishing ICE, open borders, hating cops, taking Other People’s money and property.

And a third Mamdani-backed congressional candidate, progressive Brad Lander, crushed incumbent Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman. Lander, the former New York City comptroller, ran against Mamdani last year in the crowded Democratic primary field but became one of his biggest backers in the general election.

Full on Israel and Jew hater, abolish ICE, open borders, all the stuff Mamdani is about

Is it? It’s just 4 wins by wacko Socialists in Democrat New York. But, this is the way the Democrat have been going since the start of this century. It’s how they end up with Islamists like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, wackos like AOC, and just more and more who would have been fringe nutters chattering on the Internet at places like Think Progress and the Daily Kos.

Oh, and there’s a 4th wacko who won

This is what our politicians are letting in.

Hotcoldwetdry To Cause Rising And Lowering Cryptosporidium Or Something

It’s always something wacky with this cult

Climate change will cause Cryptosporidium to drop in some places and spike in others, experts predict

The number of kids who contract a potentially deadly diarrheal disease is projected to decrease in some regions of sub-Saharan Africa while increasing in others due to climate change. However, researchers say illness from Cryptosporidium can be mitigated with improved access to clean drinking water.

Cryptosporidium is the second-most common cause of diarrhea-related deaths among children younger than 5 years, according to an analysis of the 2015 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study. The single-cell parasite spreads during heavy rainfall, though transmission decreases in warmer weather, making this waterborne disease highly sensitive to climate change. 

Using global climate change models, a study published yesterday in the Journal of Infectious Diseases predicts that by 2055, higher temperatures will cause rates of Cryptosporidium among children to decrease by 16.93% in Siaya County, Kenya and 4.34% in Bamako, Mali. However, they forecast that higher precipitation will drive up transmission in Basse, The Gambia by 24.81%.

Researchers say that improving access to clean drinking water in areas with the highest burden of climate-sensitive health outcomes can lessen the effects of climate change.

So, it’s cause more and less, but, here’s the thing: the climate cult need not have been brought into this at all, when it should really just have been a story about “improved access to clean drinking water”, and then we’d be talking about why decades and decades of foreign aid for this kind of stuff has failed. About where all the money went.

Wacko Judge Issues Nationwide Injunction On Arresting Illegals At Courthouses

Obviously he failed to understand the SCOTUS ruling in Trump v CASA and what they said on nationwide injunctions

Judge blocks Trump administration from arresting immigrants at courts

A federal judge in California issued a nationwide injunction against multiple Trump administration policies, among them one that allowed arrests at immigration courts and another that eliminated the cap on the amount of time an individual arrested for an alleged immigration violation can be detained.

U.S. District Judge P. Casey Pitts in the Northern District of California ruled in a 71-page opinion Tuesday that the policies were arbitrary and violated the Administrative Procedure Act. He said that attorneys for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Executive Office for Immigration Review “failed to provide reasoned explanations for their actions.”

The practice of making arrests at immigration courts began during the Trump administration and enabled federal law enforcement agents to take into custody individuals who were appearing before immigration judges.

There was no argument that Pitts would accept, because he’s an activist. Regardless, the practice has been around a long time, because, get this, illegals tend to be disarmed and in a controlled environment, making it safer to detain them.

Pitts said that “ICE is not arresting individuals who appear for criminal or civil violations ‘unrelated’ to the arrest but instead arresting noncitizens based on the very immigration offenses for which the noncitizens are appearing in immigration court.”

You mean they are in violation of federal immigration laws? Weird. This ruling should be struck down pretty quick, and, the Trump admin can ignore it outside the Northern District of California, based on the CASA ruling. Like this

DC Circuit restores Trump’s expedited deportation policy

A D.C. Circuit panel on Tuesday reversed a federal judge’s order blocking the Trump administration from expanding expedited removal procedures to immigrants who have been in the country under two years.

In a 2-1 decision, the appeals court determined that the Department of Homeland Security’s revival of an identical 2019 policy, which allows the department to exercise its removal power to the “maximum extent allowed by Congress,” does not violate immigrants’ due process.

See, there are these things called Law passed by the Legislative Branch that allow these things to occur.

Oh, and here’s another wacko judge

As a sidebar, MAGA talks about impeaching these rogue judges, because that’s the only way it stops, but, it’s a waste of time because Senate Democrats will never vote for this.

SciActivists Upset Over Trump Rule Stopping Gov’t Funded Research That Promotes Anti-American Values

This is Fascist!

‘The purpose of the rule is fascism’: scientists fight back against planned Trump research cuts

See!

While waiting to board her flight home at Ronald Reagan Washington national airport recently, Colette Delawalla was reviewing a list of possible impacts from a proposed Trump administration rule on controlling federal money, including grants for research.

Delawalla, the founder of the group Stand Up for Science, had just completed a three-day visit to Capitol Hill, where she met one by one with more than 30 members of Congress, part of a full-court press the organization has launched in recent weeks, sounding the alarm on the office of management and budget (OMB) proposal.

A mother of a toddler, she stopped and thought about the listed example: a clinical trial under way meant to address the issue of parents who become suicidal after an infant death. The trial would likely be made illegal under the new rule, since it includes the sorts of international collaboration the rule prohibits.

It sounds more like the rule is meant to keep all the taxpayer money from flowing out of the country where it can’t be tracked, and ends up basically as slush money.

The rule, proposed by OMB director Russ Vought on 29 May, would place all research and other federal grants under the control of political appointees, rather than scientific or subject-matter experts.

Writing on her Substack, former National Institutes of Health (NIH) program official Elizabeth Ginexi quoted the rule as prohibiting anything that “promote[s] anti-American values”.

“The rule also requires that discretionary awards must ‘… demonstrably advance the president’s policy priorities,’” she added.

Um, why would we fund anything that is against America and American values? Oh, right, so the money can be heavily skimmed off.

In other words, said Delawalla, it would create a “$1.5tn slush fund” under Trump’s control. “The purpose of the rule is fascism,” she told the Guardian.

“It would dismantle the US science ecosystem – but also all federal discretionary grants,” added Delawalla, on the phone from her home in Decatur, Georgia. “It’s huge.”

How is this fascism? She never really explains, it’s just a word she throws around. The Executive Branch has every right to control the taxpayer money it is spending. Hell, they have an obligation and duty to safeguard the money and see that it is spent wisely, something that has long gone out the window.

One veteran Democrat in the House who she preferred not to name told her “you’re just protesters” and that “the executive branch should have the right to cancel grants”.

I’m betting he also told her “go solicit money from the private sector. But, you are going to have to show a return on investment, and you cannot skim off the top.”

Nutter Liberal Judge Blocks DOJ Subpoena Of Tim Walz, Democrats Over Minnesota Fraud

I guess it’s a legal system type of day

Judge Blocks Subpoena of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minnesota Democrats

A federal judge blocked Department of Justice (DOJ) subpoenas of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and other Democrats in the state, which the DOJ had issued to investigate the link between Somali corruption and local politics.

U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz issued a ruling on June 17 that was unsealed on Monday, according to Politico. In his ruling, Schiltz explained that “initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents” was an “unlawful and unethical use” of the grand-jury process.

“Initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents or to coerce them into taking official action — particularly official action that the federal government cannot directly require those political opponents to take — is a blatantly unlawful and unethical use of the grand-jury process,” Schlitz said.

The grand-jury didn’t think so, as I guess they paid attention to the actual evidence. Like the $9 billion in fraud that happened under Walz’s watch and all the whistleblowers.

Also, where was Schiltz when Obama’s DOJ was going after Trump and his people, coordinating with NY and Georgia?

Schiltz also pointed out that the U.S. Constitution prevents the federal government from “forcing states to enforce federal laws,” and added that the subpoenas were part of the “Trump administration’s well-established history of using criminal investigations” to go after Trump’s opponents.

The ruling from the judge comes after the DOJ issued subpoenas in January to Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her (D), along with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty.

Breitbart News reported in January that Jim O’Neill, the deputy secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), shared that “Somali-run taxpayer fraud is a core part” of the Minnesota Democrats’ machine.

Will the DOJ comply, considering that this is a massive overstep of power by Schiltz in interfering with federal investigations in fraud where federal money is involved? How many weeks till a superior court overturns Schiltz? I’m guessing 2. But, that gives Walz and others a chance to try and clean things up.

Climate Nuts Sue Australia At UN Human Rights Committee Or Something

The first exhibit by the defense should be of the plaintiffs using fossil fuel vehicles. And then of all the clothing and such made with petroleum

Fossil Fuel Exports at Center of UN Human Rights Case Against Australian Government

Ten Australians filed a case with the United Nations Human Rights Committee arguing the Australian government is violating their human rights by failing to limit coal and gas exports — by far Australia’s largest contribution to climate change. The 10 claimants are represented by the Human Rights Law Centre, Environmental Justice Australia, and Earthjustice.

This is the first case filed in an international body against a country for climate harm since the International Court of Justice, the United Nations’ judicial arm, affirmed that all governments have a legal obligation to prevent significant harm to the climate. In May, Australia joined 140 other countries in passing a major United Nations resolution supporting this landmark legal ruling on climate change.

“All governments have a legal duty to act on the climate crisis, as affirmed by the International Court of Justice last year. The Australian government is failing that responsibility by allowing unchecked exports of coal and gas,” said Ramin Pejan, Deputy Managing Attorney of the International Program at Earthjustice. “This case sends a clear message: governments must act to reduce climate pollution from coal and gas and protect their people from harm.”

Each of the claimants has been seriously harmed by extreme weather events, from catastrophic bushfires and heatwaves to sea level rise and flooding. Their claim asks the UN Human Rights Committee to declare that it is unlawful for Australia to continue approving coal and gas projects for export without a plan to keep Australians safe from dangerous climate change.

So the United Nations is now the government of Australia? That’s what the case will boil down to, if the UN has the legal authority to dictate how the sovereign nation of Australia acts. Legislates. How many times have I written that the point of climate alarmism is all about dictatorial government? And what is more controlling that having the UN in charge?

Judge Stripper Strikes Again: Blocks Trump System To Block Foreigner From Voting

Obviously, Judge Stripper, er, Sparkle (you remember this wacko, right?), has forgotten about the Supreme Court ruling on nationwide injunctions

Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump’s New Verification System to Remove Foreign Nationals from Voter Rolls

A federal judge, appointed by President Joe Biden, has blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from using an updated verification system, known as the SAVE program, to remove foreign nationals from state voter rolls.

On Monday, Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, appointed to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia by Biden, issued an order to prevent the Trump administration from using a streamlined version of the federal government’s SAVE program to combat voter fraud.

The update to SAVE allowed states to more quickly verify that only American citizens are voting in federal elections by no longer requiring that all nine digits of a voter registrant’s Social Security Number have to be entered to verify eligibility.

“This case implicates two fundamental rights that protect Americans from government overreach: the right to privacy and the right to vote,” Sooknanan, an immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago, wrote:

In the past year, several federal agencies have joined forces to create a centralized federal database that contains the private information of United States citizens, including Social Security numbers, citizenship status, and other sensitive data. [Emphasis added]

The federal government has that information already, Judge Stripper, er, Sparkle. Los Federales have even failed to restrict social security numbers from being used for Social Security. Now they are linked to people’s credit reports and so much more, which is against what numbers were meant for. And having those SS numbers allows Los Federales to see if there are duplicates, since illegals like to steal the identities of Americans.

I give this 2 weeks till a federal Courts of Appeal quashes it.

Trump Going After World Bank Climate (scam) Target

It would be one thing if the World Bank was actually doing something beneficial with the stupid amount of money they are pledging towards ‘climate change’, but, we all know that at least 60% is going into graft, waste, and abuse

US pushes World Bank climate target to the brink

The fate of a World Bank climate target is hanging in the balance as the Trump administration pressures the institution to jettison what it calls a “distortionary” and “nonsensical” policy.

The bank pledged three years ago to devote 45 percent of its funding to climate-related projects by 2025. It exceeded that goal by directing $39.2 billion, or 48 percent of its financing last year, to projects with climate benefits.

Can we get a full audit on how it was spent? How much actually went to the projects and how much went into people’s pockets?

It came as the Trump administration has called on the institution to abandon the target and increase the number of natural gas projects in its portfolio. Now, the bank is confronted with difficult choices as it races toward the climate target’s expiration on June 30, with management leaving the issue in the hands of the bank’s board of directors, according to three people who were granted anonymity to talk about internal discussions. The board meets this week.

“There has to be some compromise cooked up and that comes to the board, but at the moment, management is waving it away, and the U.S. is no, no, no and no,” said one official who represents a developed country.

The US has the largest contribution of any company, right around 17% of their funding, and because the US has 17.5% of the voting power, this gives Trump essentially veto power, as major institutional decisions require an 85% majority.

In a statement emailed over the weekend, a Treasury spokesperson said the U.S. “looks forward to the World Bank removing its 45 percent climate finance targets and refocusing on its core mission.”

“We are engaging extensively with other Board Members and [capitals] to return the World Bank back to its core mission of reducing poverty and increasing economic growth, and we expect the Bank will abandon its pursuit of arbitrary climate financing targets that do little to lift people out of poverty,” the spokesperson said.

And the core mission without all the waste, graft, and abuse.
