Democrats Propose Legislation To Shrink Border Enforcement Zone

By William Teach July 20, 2018 – 7:08 am

Republican House Leader Paul Ryan should do with this just like he wanted to do with the Democrats Abolish ICE legislation: put it up for a vote. And then watch Democrats caterwaul about having to *GASP* vote on their own legislation be a “stunt”

Rep. Pingree, other Democrats propose shrinking zones for immigration checks

U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree is co-sponsoring a bill to shrink the size of the border enforcement zone where federal immigration agents have been asking for proof of citizenship.

The Department of Homeland Security would be allowed to stop vehicles without warrants only within 25 miles of the border instead of within 100 miles as allowed under current law, among other changes. The proposal comes after U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents conducted controversial checkpoints on I-95 in Penobscot County and at a bus station in Bangor.

Customs and Border Protection has authority to conduct citizenship checks without a warrant within 100 miles of the nation’s land and coastal borders. That includes the entire state of Maine, all of which is within 100 miles of either Canada or the Atlantic Ocean. The checkpoints have drawn criticism and fueled fears and rumors of federal crackdowns among immigrants and other residents.

“When two-thirds of Americans live 100 miles from the border, it doesn’t make any sense for immigration agents to stop and question people’s citizenship status far from the point of entry. Not only are warrantless searches hours away from the border a waste of resources, they spread fear in peaceful communities and infringe on my constituents’ rights to be free from unwarranted searches,” Pingree, D-1st District, said in a statement.

Will we soon see Democrats and their nutter base call for the abolition of CBP, like with ICE?

The Border Zone Reasonableness Restoration Act would reduce the area in which federal agents can stop vehicles from 100 miles to 25 miles, limit the zone in which officers can search private lands, except houses, from 25 miles to 10 miles from a U.S. border, and prohibit border patrol agents from stopping vehicles at checkpoints farther than 10 miles from the border without reasonable suspicion that an occupant is in the country illegally.

So, what they really want to do is make it much harder for any federal agents to do the job of stopping illegal aliens. If I had to guess, these Democrats missed the section in the U.S. Constitution which specifies that the federal government is tasked with stopping foreign invasion.

Meanwhile, Democrat David Price (NC-4) (I’m in this shmuck’s district) learned about friendly fire from crazy believers in illegal immigration

Today In #Resist: Nutters Look To Revoke Liquor License At Trump Hotel

By William Teach July 20, 2018 – 6:48 am

Look, people, we didn’t like Barack Obama being elected either time, but, we accepted it. He won fair and square. Trump won fair and square. Don’t like it? “You don’t like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. But Don’t break it.” Most of our kooks were utter fringe. With Democrats (and #NeverTrump), we get the mainstreaming of insanity

Lawsuit looks to revoke Trump International Hotel’s liquor license

A D.C. Advisory Neighborhood Commission is supporting a petition that seeks to revoke the Trump International Hotel’s liquor license.

The commissioners in ANC 4C unanimously voted to support a petition to revoke the Trump Hotel’s liquor license because the law says licensees should be people of “good moral character,” and the commissioners believe President Donald Trump is not of good moral character.

“What the complaint says is that the owner of the Trump International Hotel doesn’t meet that definition and so ABRA, the Alcohol Beverage Regulation Administration, should take action,” Zach Teutsch, ANC Commissioner 4C, said.

D.C. attorney Joshua Levy filed the petition to revoke the license on behalf of 7 D.C. residents and the move by the ANC 4C commissioners is to support that filing.

But ANC 4C is located about three miles from the Trump Hotel, which means the hotel isn’t in their jurisdiction. While the Trump Hotel is not in their jurisdiction, D.C.’s Alcoholic Beverage Regulatory Administration says any civic group can file a complaint against a licensee any time.

The Trump Hotel’s license is up for renewal in 2019, but not everybody’s on board with the effort to revoke the license. Some, even those who disagree with the president’s politics, say his opponents are trying to score a symbolic shot at Trump but will hurt bartenders, servers and other workers at the hotel who earn a living and put tax dollars back into the District thanks to the liquor license.

Most likely, the license will be renewed because there is zero real world reasons not to. Also, the ABRA will understand that they’ll get sued if they go TDS and refuse to renew it.

We can certainly expect that other TDS infused #resistance wankers will see this petition and run with the same in places where other Trump properties exist, just because they’re unhinged and can’t simply MoveOn with their lives.

Bummer: Judge Puts The Kibosh On NYC’s Lawsuit Against Fossil Fuels Companies

By William Teach July 19, 2018 – 7:52 pm

The judge was also nice enough to save the taxpayers of NYC from Bill de Blasio pissing away money that could be better used on schools, infrastructure, etc, rather than on frivolous lawsuits

I still say it would be magnificent if the fossil fuels companies decided to refuse to sell their products to the city government of New York. Let’s see Bill de Blasio travel in his limo and on private jets without fossil fuels.

Bummer: Except For Some Elected Democrats And Pet Pundits, No One Cares About Russia Russia Russia

By William Teach July 19, 2018 – 2:34 pm

Heck, even ‘climate change’ does better. Not by much, but, if this is what Democrats have worked on for two years now, #Fail

From the article

There’s just one problem with the Democrats’ unending focus on Russia and the media’s constant collusion chatter: few Americans care, because – drumroll – they have real lives in the real economy to worry about.

As the latest survey from Gallup shows: when asked what the most important problem facing the nation is, Russia did not even warrant a 1% – and worse still, it is declining in importance from there.

It ranks so low that it gets an *. So, yeah, keep pushing this, Democrats.

Good News: Meat And Dairy Companies Are Worse Than Fossil Fuel Companies

By William Teach July 19, 2018 – 9:28 am

Not that members of the Cult of Climastrology will give up any of the three, but, it gives them good talking points. Perhaps we can get some Warmist cities and counties to sue

Against Exxon and Shell but Still Eat Meat? Study Shows Meat and Dairy Companies Cause More Harm Than Fossil Fuels

In 2017, GRAIN, an international non-profit that conducts independent research and works to support small farmers, used methodology created by the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to estimate the emissions produced by livestock. This was the first time that these emissions had ever been measured, and the study revealed some not-so-pretty statistics. Take, for instance, the fact that JBS, Cargill, and Tyson, three top meat companies, emitted more greenhouse gases in 2016 than all of France, plus nearly as much as oil giants like Exxon, Shell, and BP.

A year after that groundbreaking study, GRAIN has once again set out to bring to light the true impact of big meat and dairy on our planet. This time, the organization teamed up with another non-profit, the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP). Together, GRAIN and IATP conducted an analysis of the world’s 35 top-producing meat and dairy corporations. Here’s what they found:

  • The top five meat and dairy companies have now officially surpassed Exxon, Shell, and BP in annual greenhouse gas emissions.
  • With only four of the 35 giving complete and credible emissions estimates, the majority of the top meat and dairy producers either underreport or do not report their emissions.
  • In order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2050, we must cut down on global emissions by 38 billion tons. But if meat and dairy continue to grow as experts predict, the livestock industry could produce 80 percent of the allowable greenhouse gas emissions quota in just 32 years.

These eye-opening statistics show just how bad things really are and point to an urgent need for a solution. As GRAIN researcher Devlin Kuyek put it, “There’s no other choice. Meat and dairy production in the countries where the top 35 companies dominate must be significantly reduced.”

Well, that’s a bummer. Come on, Warmists, stop eating meat, give up dairy, and stop using fossil fueled vehicles. They won’t.

Really, though, this has been known for a long time, going back to the early days when it was called man-caused global warming. We knew that agriculture, along with landfills, was much worse in terms of greenhouse gas release than pretty much anything else mankind was involved in. But, see, methane wasn’t as sexy as “carbon pollution,” because of all the jokes about farts. And, early stage Warmists didn’t want to appear to be total cranks by recommending that government reduce the availability of food.

Teen Vogue Is Totally Impressed With The Teens Marching For ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach July 19, 2018 – 8:19 am

Surprisingly, no one, including Teen Vogue’s Melissa Walker, are bothering to ask pesky questions like “how are you going to travel to these marches” and “what are you doing to make your own life carbon neutral?”

Teens Are Leading 3 Days of Climate Change Activism in D.C. With Zero Hour

The science of climate change, and the evidence of its devastating impact not just in the U.S., but around the world, could not be more clear.

While past generations have fought to make change in this area, none has felt the urgency of the current youth. On Saturday, July 21, Zero Hour — a group founded by high school students — will lead the largest climate mobilization effort by youth of color in Washington, D.C.

“There is no more time,” says Kibiriti Majuto, 20, a climate refugee from the Congo who is a core Zero Hours member and author of their platform. “We do this now or we’re done.”

Got that? We’re done if they don’t…..take fossil fueled trips to complain about fossil fuels. How did Ms. Majuto get to the U.S.? A sailing ship? I love how we let people in, rescue them, and they repay the nation by demanding we do things. Further, are youth of not-color allowed?

Founding member Nadia Nazar, 16, echoes his sentiment: “We only have a little time left until there is no hope to solve this problem,” she told Teen Vogue.

Zanagee Artis, Zero Hour’s logistics head, acknowledges that certain communities have been working on this problem for generations: “We definitely recognize that frontline communities and indigenous peoples have been fighting climate change and fossil fuel projects for a long time.”

“But we know that isn’t enough,” 18-year-old Zanagee told Teen Vogue. “For decades the mainstream climate movement has appealed to people who are already invested in environmental justice.” One of Zero Hour’s goals is to broaden the base of support for climate justice so that people understand the social consequences of the issue as well.

Essentially, this really isn’t about ‘climate change’, it’s just an excuse to push far left Progressive (nice fascist) policies.

Friday, July 20 is the day of the Youth Climate Art Festival, headed by Nadia, where people can experience art and music combined with climate actions. That will include giant Parachutes for the Planet displays from across the world, on-site poster making, art exhibits, musical performances, and Zero Hour organizers engaging with the public on climate justice. The festival will take place in Dupont Circle from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m.

Performers at the festival include Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, a hip-hop artist & plaintiff in landmark youth climate lawsuit; Arielle Martinez Cohen, a 16-year-old singer/songwriter; and the Young Women’s Drumming Empowerment Program, an enrichment and empowerment group for urban teen girls.

All those fossil fuels, all that use of carbon pollution creating electricity, all the garbage that will be left behind.

“We created the People’s Platform to give people ways that they can personally take action that will make a positive impact,” Zanagee shared. “Zero Hour isn’t just a march — it is a movement we hope will spread at the grassroots level through community organizing between youth and their neighbors, teachers, mentors, and everyone else in their lives.”

I wonder what the carbon footprint will be of all the selfies taken by these kids who seem to hate capitalism and a modern lifestyle?

So, when will the Zero Hour kids take a pledge to use no fossil fuels?

Who’s Up For A New Democratic Party Slogan?

By William Teach July 19, 2018 – 7:46 am

Democrats are taking a page out of hyper-Socialist (who wears capitalist created clothes, travels in capitalist created vehicles, and uses capitalist created devices to get her message out) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s playbook: attempt to sound awesome, yet have have nothing behind vapid talking points

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY’S NEW MOTTO SAME AS A USED CAR DEALERSHIP, PERSONAL INJURY LAW FIRM

House Democrats revealed their new slogan for the upcoming 2018 elections, but whoever was behind it probably forgot to check that it’s identical to the one used by a used car dealership in Texas and a personal injury law firm in Florida.

The motto, “For the People,” debuted at a private meeting with members Wednesday, according to Politico.

Yet Democrats probably won’t like to know that their new message for American voters is the same used by some of the sleaziest businesses in the country, namely used car dealers and ambulance chasers.

Forthepeople.com is currently registered by Morgan & Morgan, a “leading personal injury law firm dedicated to protecting the people, not the powerful” ran out of Orlando.

Elder Mitsubishi, owned by Scott Elder in Austin, declared itself the “car dealer ‘For the People’” in 2011. Check out its TV ad below.

As the Daily Caller points out, this is the 4th slogan that Democrats have run up the flagpole. Vacuous, meaningless, and allows them to avoid discussing their real agenda

Seriously, for the people? Which people, the illegal aliens? Sure seems like it.

People Upset About Russian Meddling Cool With Giving Unlawful Foreigners The Vote

By William Teach July 18, 2018 – 1:36 pm

Here’s a good point

Pretty weird, eh?

(ABC7) Monday the Department of Elections Issued Voter Registration Forms for non-citizens who are eligible to vote for members of the San Francisco Board of Education in the November 6th 2018 election. The measure passed in 2016 with a close vote of 54 percent to 46 percent following two failed previous attempts.

San Francisco is the first city in the state to allow non-citizens to vote in local elections.

“As a parent myself and a former member of the SF Board of Education it is critical that the voices of all parents are at the table particularly those that have historically been denied a voice in the process,” said Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer who represents District 1.

“We want to give immigrants the right to vote,” said Supervisor Norman Yee who represents District 7.

The operative phrase is the last: they do not care about parents and such, that’s just an excuse to give illegal aliens the ability to vote. Perhaps San Francisco should worry about cleaning up all the feces, urine, people doing drugs openly in the streets, and needles everywhere.
