Democrats Running For President Must Pledge To Restore D.C. To Pre-Trump

This is wild. It may be just one tweeting it, but, can you see a ton of them thinking this?

I agree that the arch is dumb and should be skipped, but, is Ted really saying he wants to tear down the new East Wing and replace it with the old building? That’s wild, considering how much he has whined about its cost. I also agree that Trump putting his name on the Kennedy Center, but, the building is being rejuvenated because it is old and falling apart. As to the last, D.C., do Ted and the Democrats really want the crime and squalor back?

Will Ted go ahead and make sure all the fountains are shut down again?

Pretty much.

Your Fault: ‘Climate Doom” Could Mess With Cheese Flavors From France

All you had to do was give up your use of fossil fuels, take the bus, and give up freedom to government

Why some of France’s most famous cheeses are in peril

climate cowHistoric heat waves are putting French dairy cows that normally graze outdoors in summer under heat-related stress.

Prolonged periods of drought are scorching French pastures, leeching them of their usual lush green vitality and leaving behind parched, lifeless yellow fields.

And French farmers bound by strict cheesemaking regulations are having to buy extra feed to supplement the animals’ diets.

Some of France’s most beloved artisanal cheeses are under threat from the effects of climate change, scientists and cheesemakers warn.

What the farmers are really under threat from is Government bureaucrats and politicians implementing all sorts of rules and regs and restrictions because of their climate doom beliefs. Things would be fine without all that crap, which is why there have been all sorts of protests from farmers over the past few years.

“Before, we used to have a problem with the grass every 15-20 years,” says Laurent Lours, who has been a dairy farmer and cheesemaker for 35 years. “Now, it’s about every other year. And it’s getting worse.”

The result? Dairy cows are producing less milk and birthing fewer or weakened calves. Farmers who produce many of the country’s top-tier cheeses have been forced to cease production. And the distinct flavor of France’s “terroir” cheeses are at risk.

“We’ve had five heat waves so far this year. We’ve never experienced temperatures like this before,” Lours says.

Now, can we compare this to what happened during the Medieval Warm Period? That’s rather necessary for it to be science, not a cult. Anyhow, it’s a long, science free bit of fearmongering.

Oh Noes: NICE Arrested A Whole Bunch Of Illegals In Memphis

Stories like these should simply be a few paragraphs long, basically crime reports where a bunch of people were arrested. But, when it involves illegals the Credentialed Media puts their all into the Sob Stories

How a Memphis Gambling Raid Became a Sweeping Immigration Operation

For the people dressed up in sparkly skirts and cowboy boots, Saturday nights were best spent at El Corralón.

The cantina, tucked in the middle of Berclair, a heavily Hispanic neighborhood in Memphis, Tenn., was a rowdy joint where the mix of regional Mexican music and bachata was loud, the pool tables plenty and beer cheap enough. Gambling machines jangled by the wall.

Then, in recent weeks, neighbors started spotting drones overhead. Suspicious vans parked by the dumpsters. Unfamiliar patrons came in and left quickly. Some in the neighborhood believed the gambling machines, illegal in Tennessee, might make the business a target.

Gee, ya think?

But the cantina remained open. Last Sunday, a crush of agents raided El Corralón, searching for the owner, Marco Sabillon-Urbina, an immigrant from Honduras, but detaining anyone who was in the country illegally.

In the end, the operation targeting illegal gambling and drugs spiraled into one of Tennessee’s largest sweeps of undocumented immigrants this year, as Immigration and Customs Enforcement escalates its operations across the country. More than 120 people were detained, inflaming tensions in Memphis, where many residents were already on edge over a separate federal anti-crime task force that, among other things, has also targeted immigrants.

Wait, so, what happened to the sparkly skirts and cowboy boots? They were exchanged for illegal gambling and drugs, eh? How is arrested a whole bunch of people “inflaming tensions”? Would anyone in the news and politics give a damn if it was a bunch of whites, blacks, or Asians? If they were all lawful citizens of the US?

“This takes them back to being afraid and not wanting to go out again,” said Jose Salazar, a community organizer who assists the immigrant community in Memphis. “All those fears and concerns are worse now.”

Maybe illegals shouldn’t be engaged in open crimes which allows the to be easily caught

Tennessee and other Republican-led states have also deepened coordination with the Trump administration and immigration authorities. In May, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation asked ICE for help identifying an undocumented man it suspected was involved in criminal activity at El Corralón, court records show.

The man, Mr. Sabillon-Urbina, first arrived in the United States in 1994 and received Temporary Protected Status in 1999; that status lapsed in January 2020 after he failed to renew the paperwork, federal law enforcement said in court record

He was sent back to Honduras in 2023 as part of a federal plea agreement in connection with possession of drugs and a firearm. He was deported again in 2024 after trying to re-enter the United States.

Those are felony violations of US immigration laws for illegal re-entry, along with the other felonies. This is who the Democrats are trying to protect. So, here’s a question: how in the fuck was he the owner of the cantina? Who loaned the money? How did this illegal with multiple deportations and felony charges get a business permit? Who was ignoring him having illegal gambling machines? The DOJ should sweat the hell out of him for names.

Several relatives of people were who detained said they were angry at both ICE and Mr. Sabillon-Urbina. They said the bar owner had risked the lives of the very immigrants his business catered to.

Sofia, an undocumented immigrant from Honduras in her 20s who asked to be identified by only her first name because of her status, said her mother was detained that night and could soon be deported. She was saddened to see comments on Facebook criticizing people like her mother who had risked going out.

Her 8-year-old brother believes their mother is out on a work trip. But soon, Sofia said, she will have to tell him what really happened.

Sob sniffle.

NYC Mayor Mamdani Gives 9/11 Pen To Al Qaeda Lawyer

This is what you voted for, New Yorkers

From the link

Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed an executive order recognizing 9/11 Friday — and then gave the symbolic pen to his controversial aide who once represented an al-Qaeda terrorist with links to the attack on the Pentagon.

Administration officials were gathered at City Hall for a pair of executive orders — ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks — one establishing a Day of Remembrance and another beefing up security against future terror threats.

After Mamdani signed the last of the documents, Hizzoner gave Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch the ceremonial pen, and whispered, “Can you pass this?”

Tisch awkwardly handed it to Mamdani’s chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem, who just snuck into the press conference, before she hurried out of the Blue Room — the first official to exit the press conference.

“It was calculated,” retired detective and adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice Michael Alazar told The Post.

“It happened during a ceremony meant to be about the victims, and no one else. 9/11 families didn’t come to City Hall to watch Mamdani spotlight someone whose work intersects with the very ideology that took their loved ones. Commissioner Jessica Tisch was reduced to a prop rather than acknowledging her role as the leader of the NYPD.”

Look, someone has to act as council for any scumsucking piece of shit, but, some seem to like it a whole lot more than others. Kassem is an Islamic radical who loves terrorists, and hates Jews and Israel.

“Ramzi Kassem said he was inspired by 9/11 — not to join the fight against terrorism, but to defend the terrorists themselves. He doesn’t even belong in this country, much less in our government,” seethed Council Member Vicki Paladino (R-Queens).

“His participation in anything related to 9/11 is an insult to every New Yorker who survived that day, and indeed all Americans. But I suspect that’s the point.

Yeah, even a lot of Democrat New Yorkers are upset that he was picked, and upset about him being involved. But, what did they think they were going to get with Mamdani? This is just the beginning of trying to Islamicize NYC.

UN Warmists Discover Urban Heat Island Effect In NYC’s Central Park

This isn’t to say that the world hasn’t warmed since the end of the Little Ice Age: it has. It’s to note that certain places are artificially higher in temperature from UHI

Central Park adapts to climate change while helping New York stay cool

climate cowNew York’s Central Park – one of the world’s most recognisable landmarks – is experiencing heavier downpours, flooding and soil erosion, while prolonged heatwaves are putting pressure on the ecosystem as well as visitors.

The bedrock is not actually that far down. And as they continue to build/rebuild in NYC they ignore the infrastructure that moves water away.

But the park also helps New York cope with the heat. It helps cool the city, clean the air, capture stormwater and gives people a place to escape the heat under the trees. The temperature in the park can be around 5°Celsius (10°F) lower than on surrounding streets, according to the Central Park Climate Lab.

That’s because all those buildings, power supplies, ovens, roadways, etc and so on artificially increase the ambient temperature from normal

“Central Park and urban parks are so much more than just recreation spaces,” said Yanina Kupava, a Director at the Central Park Conservancy. “They are vital urban green infrastructure.”

Then we should raze a lot of buildings. Starting with the UN building

UN News visited Central Park on a hot summer day, just weeks before world leaders gather at UN Headquarters for the General Assembly’s General Debate.

All those tens of thousands of big wigs taking long, fossil fueled private flights, eh?

As politicians and experts discuss how cities can adapt to a warming planet, some of those solutions can already be seen just a few blocks away in the park.

Central Park was built in the 1850s, at the beginning of the Modern Warm Period. Then a heat trapping mega-city was built around it.

Democrats Upset Over AI CEOs Talking To Trump On Regulation

This isn’t just TDS, it’s the notion that Democrats like to apply a heavy hand when it comes to regulation

‘I don’t think anyone is really comfortable’: Democrat leading on AI raises alarms at Trump, Zuckerberg call

A House Democrat trying to lead her party on artificial intelligence policy sent a warning shot Friday to tech CEOs trying to undermine efforts to regulate the fast-growing technology.

In an interview, Rep. Lori Trahan raised alarm bells over a POLITICO report detailing attempts by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to personally discourage President Donald Trump from moving ahead with plans to establish an independent AI regulator modeled after the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA.

“I don’t think anyone is really comfortable when they see tech executives who are sitting on the stage at the president’s inauguration, and have had to pay millions of dollars to this fund and that fund, calling the shots,” said the Massachusetts Democrat.

Allowing Zuckerberg to call the shots on the proposed AI commission would be tantamount to “a complete abdication of Congress,” Trahan continued. She also suggested she would use her perch on the House Energy and Commerce Committee to work with other Democrats to haul in industry executives like Zuckerberg to testify, should Democrats win back the House majority in the midterms.

Perhaps it’s wise for elected officials and brureaucrats to listen to the actual people involved, eh? Good on Trahan, she at least worked in the private sector for a while for a software company called ChoiceStream, but, was in marketing and than the chief revenue officer, so, doesn’t really understand software.

Unlike other Democrats who have retreated to their corners to work on partisan proposals, Trahan has gone out on a limb by crossing the aisle to broker a deal on a bipartisan AI safety bill with Rep. Jay Obernolte (R-Calif.) — a package that was originally met with disdain by members of both parties.

Maybe it was bad policy?

Her calls are consistent with left-leaning members like Rep. Greg Casar, a Texas Democrat and chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, who has been at the forefront of the most aggressive proposals to crack down on top tech companies.

“The CEOs of Anthropic and OpenAI say that cutting edge AI could be as dangerous as nuclear weapons,” Casar said Thursday on X in response to the POLITICO report. “But Trump is conspiring with billionaires for this technology to be regulated like … Hollywood movies.”

Dems like Casar would prefer regulating everything to the extreme, which ends up stifling the industry.

Trahan said Friday that “reasonable people can disagree on what regulatory construct we come up with” governing development and use of AI.

But, she added, “what I don’t think the American people agree with is that Mark Zuckerberg and President Trump are going to figure that out on a phone call.”

And there’s the TDS. There’s nothing wrong with a phone call. Are citizens, even rich ones, not allowed to discuss issues with elected officials now?
