Liberals Are Freaking Over Trump Refurbishing The Reflecting Pool

Trump’s changes to Reflecting Pool worry preservationists, locals

President Donald Trump this week unveiled his rapid project to resurface the Lincoln Memorial’s Reflecting Pool, saying that a contractor convinced him to use “American Flag Blue” to cover the pool’s basin. The changes have some historic preservationists feeling blue.

Trump on Thursday walked through his planned renovation of the century-old pool, touting his expertise at building “more than 100 swimming pools” during his real estate career, and saying that he had involved his personal contractors. The project — the most extensive overhaul of the reflecting pool in 15 years — will be completed in time to mark the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration on July 4, the president said.

“Now we have a nice clean surface on which we’re putting an industrial-grade swimming pool topping,” Trump said in a video released by the White House. The president said the new surface would prevent the leaks that have frequently affected the pool for several decades. (snip)

But the pool has long been plagued by leaks, algae and other problems that have forced frequent cleanings and multiple renovation projects. The Obama administration announced its own reconstruction of the pool in April 2009, a process that ultimately took several years and cost $34 million.

The Biden admin was going to spend $300 million on a project that would take years. Trump’s project is costing up to $2 million and will take a few weeks.

Some historic preservationists and other experts warned that Trump’s renovations could distort the experience for visitors. Charles A. Birnbaum, who heads the Cultural Landscape Foundation, an education and advocacy organization, noted that the neutral colors used for the pool’s basin were intended to convey greater depth and reflection that could now be threatened by the president’s changes.

Call the waaambulance

Some lawmakers said Trump’s focus on the reflecting pool shows that he is too fixated on Washington-area renovation projects rather than issues that affect voters. The president has repeatedly invoked his projects, including a black granite path at the White House that he has pushed to complete before King Charles III’s arrival on Monday.

“As Trump gets ready to play host to King Charles III this week, his emphasis on pageantry and decorations instead of our nation’s economic pain is a reminder that he wants to be a king — and why 250 years ago, America decided that we didn’t want one,” Rep. Gabe Amo (D-Rhode Island) wrote in a text message.

A king, you guys! Sigh.

Good Grief: Goracle Says We Could Have Heat Ice Age In 25 Years

By William Teach April 26, 2026 – 7:00 am

This is the same guy who sold his TV station to petro-state backed Al Jazeera for tens of millions, right?

Al Gore Warns ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ Ice Age Could Happen in 25 Years, 10 Years After ‘Inconvenient Truth’ Prophecies Failed

Former Vice President Al Gore is still making climate doom predictions, 20 years after his warnings from An Inconvenient Truth proved false — this time invoking the science fiction film The Day After Tomorrow for a rapt Hollywood audience.

Gore joined the first-ever Sustainability in Entertainment Honors event Thursday, organized by The Hollywood Reporter and the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance, for a keynote conversation with The West Wing star Bradley Whitford. The pair reminisced about the Oscar-winning documentary An Inconvenient Truth, conspicuously omitting its failed prophecy that Earth’s ecosystems would reach a “tipping point” of no return, thanks to human industrial activity, in only ten years. That deadline that came and went a full decade ago.

In the course of the conversation, Gore mentioned that the idea for An Inconvenient Truth came out of his promotion for the 2004 science fiction movie The Day After Tomorrow (throughout the keynote, Gore mixed its title up with the 1983 nuclear war thriller The Day After). The mansion-dwelling, private–jetting climate crusader later invoked the disaster film, saying that the calamity it depicts is “a very real threat within the next 25 years.” (snip)

GORE: That movie that I mentioned, The Day After about the Gulf Stream shutting down, well, this morning in one of the English newspapers is a whole big article summarizing the recent dire warnings of the scientists who found yet more confirmatory information that this is a very real threat within the next 25 years.

They never, ever give up trying to spread their doomsday propaganda.

Mamdani Vetoes NYC Bill On Anti-Semitism

By William Teach April 25, 2026 – 10:30 am

Anyone surprised? How about all the Jews in NYC who voted for this radical Islamist?

Mamdani in the hot seat after first veto derails bipartisan effort to combat antisemitism: ‘Disappointed’

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is sparking backlash after using his first veto to derail a bipartisan bill aimed at combating antisemitism by expanding protest security safeguards for places of education.

“This could impact workers protesting ICE or college students demanding their school divest from fossil fuels or demonstrating in support of Palestinian rights,” Mamdani said in a statement Friday.

“It is a piece of legislation that has alarmed much of the labor movement, reproductive rights groups and immigration advocates, among others, across this city.”

New York’s former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent against Mamdani in the mayoral race last year, slammed Mamdani’s decision on X, saying he “chose the whims of his radical, extreme-left DSA base over the safety of students and Jewish New Yorkers at a time of rising antisemitism.”

“Instead of governing for all NYers, Mamdani has repealed the very definition of antisemitism from the city’s books, changed how antisemitic crimes are counted and now vetoed these commonsense security measures when they are needed most,” Cuomo continued.

You voted for this, New Yorkers. Are you happy? How about the Jews? It’s not like you weren’t warned about him being a Jew hater.

The bill, Int. 175-B, requires New York law enforcement to develop a plan to contain the risk of physical obstruction, physical injury, intimidation and interference at educational facilities while still allowing for freedom of assembly and First-Amendment events. The plan would then apply to “any building, structure, or place where educational programming takes place.” (snip)

“According to the NYPD, antisemitic incidents accounted for 57% of reported hate crimes in 2025, although only approximately 10% of New York City residents are Jewish. Jewish New Yorkers were the targets of hate crimes more than all other groups combined.”

Common sense legislation, but, of course, NYC has been taken over by the unhinged wackos who take the side of radical Islamic terrorist groups to the point of wanting Jews gone. These are your people, Democrats: do you support this? They aren’t far far fringe, they are the voting base. Do you support them?

Louisiana Looking To Block Climate Scam Lawsuits

By William Teach April 25, 2026 – 7:15 am

I’d usually be against government saying companies cannot be sued, but, really, the astroturfed lawsuits against fossil fuels companies are scams, shakedowns, and a way of trying to force Other People to live without the same fossil fuels the warmists themselves refuse to give up

Climate change lawsuits against fossil fuel companies would be blocked under Louisiana proposal

The Louisiana Legislature is considering a new law to prohibit anyone from suing oil and gas companies for any damages, injuries or deaths attributed to pollution-driven climate change.

House Bill 804, sponsored by Rep. Brett Geymann, R-Lake Charles, cleared its first hurdle Thursday when it advanced with unanimous support from the House Committee on Natural Resources and Environment.

The bill would effectively give energy companies legal immunity from liability related to illnesses, injuries, deaths or other damages stemming from the climate effects of industrial air pollution.

CO2 is not a pollutant, but, a trace gas necessary for life on Earth.

Geymann, who is calling his proposal the Louisiana Energy Protection Act, said it is not meant to stop legitimate lawsuits against a particular facility’s greenhouse gas emissions. Its prohibition would not apply to damages arising from violations of regulatory air permits or the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

And that is the way it should be: if they actually create pollution, they should be held responsible.

While some Republicans on the Louisiana House committee questioned the legitimacy of climate science, lawmakers from both parties voiced approval for Geymann’s bill, which has the backing of influential business and fossil fuel lobby groups.

Rep. Marcus Bryant, D-New Iberia, poked fun at the notion of climate change litigation by comparing it to him suing a golf course for a gust of wind pushing his ball into a pond.

“I hit the ball and, out the blue, a whiff of wind puts my ball in the water,” Bryant said. “Golf courses are not in this bill. I could sue my golf course? Because this was serious.”

Suing fossil fuels companies when they refuse to give them up themselves is sillier, especially when there is nothing unusual about this Holocene warm period.

DOJ Looking To Revoke Citizenship For Hundreds Of Criminals

By William Teach April 25, 2026 – 7:00 am

That is part and parcel of gaining citizenship: you can’t be a scumbag criminal

DOJ aims to strip citizenship from hundreds of foreign-born Americans, sources say

The Justice Department is targeting at least 300 foreign-born Americans to possibly revoke their citizenship as part of the Trump administration’s effort to ramp up denaturalization, according to a person familiar with the investigations.

A Justice Department official told NBC News the number was in the hundreds.

NBC News previously reported that the Trump administration was dramatically expanding an effort to revoke U.S. citizenship for foreign-born Americans.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency within the Department of Homeland Security that’s responsible for legal immigration, sent experts to its offices around the country or reassigned staff members to look for possible cases where citizenship could be revoked. The goal was to supply between 100 and 200 potential cases per month to the Justice Department, which prosecutes them, NBC News reported.

Who are these people?

“The Department of Justice is laser-focused on rooting out criminal aliens defrauding the naturalization process,” a Justice Department spokesperson said. “Under the leadership of President Trump and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the Department is pursuing the highest volume of denaturalization referrals in history. We are moving at warp speed to ensure fraudsters are held accountable and prosecuted to the fullest extent.”

Such cases of denaturalization have typically been very rare, involving people who concealed criminal histories or previous human rights violations during their application processes.

So, scumbags that the Democrats will surely fight to keep

It’s not clear why the Justice Department has singled out the roughly 300 foreign-born Americans. The New York Times first reported the tally.

Because they are scumbags. I wonder how many of them will be the Somalis who were involved in fraud and given free, cheap citizenship and then refused to assimilate, and demand that the U.S. changes to accommodate them. Be fun if Ilhan Omar was on that list.

Horror: War With Iran Accelerating Climate Doom

By William Teach April 24, 2026 – 6:00 pm

If only Trump had just let Iran get their nuclear weapons this wouldn’t be a problem

US-Israel war on Iran is accelerating climate change

A new analysis published March 21 by the Climate and Community Institute (CCI) has quantified the greenhouse gas emissions produced in the first 14 days of the US-Israel war on Iran, finding that the conflict released more carbon pollution in two weeks than many smaller nations, such as Iceland, emit in an entire year. The findings begin to expose the full environmental cost of the war, a cost whose largest portion has yet to be emitted and will be borne by the international working class.

The analysis covers the period from February 28 to March 14, 2026, and estimates total emissions of approximately 5.1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) across five categories: the destruction of homes and civilian buildings, the burning of oil stored in bombed refineries and tankers, fuel consumed in combat and support operations, the embodied carbon of destroyed military equipment, and the embodied carbon in missiles and drones used by all parties.

What would be the carbon footprint if Iran dropped a nuclear weapon or two on Israel? Is suspect the people pushing this crap wouldn’t care, and would probably cheer. Also, who are the people pushing this crap? That would be the World Socialist Website. Huh.

The largest source was not the weapons or the fighter jets and bombers flying from as far as western England, but the destruction of civilian infrastructure. Based on Red Crescent Society of Iran reports that approximately 20,000 civilian units were damaged or destroyed, including 16,191 residential buildings, 3,384 commercial units, 77 medical centers and 69 schools, the researchers estimated 2.4 million tCO2e in embodied emissions that will be released when rubble is cleared and infrastructure rebuilt.

Um, OK, listen to the hardcore Islamist government of Iran.
