Gun Grabbers Planning To Do A Die-In At Disney World

Nothing says “hey, we really want your support” like ruining the vacations that parents spent a long time planning and paying for

Is next National Die-In planned for Disney World?

The group National Die-In appears to be plotting their next visit to Walt Disney World in Orlando.

The student-led group, which says the movement is working to pass common sense gun control to create a better and safer America, tweeted Tuesday: “Can you guess where we’re going next?” with a picture of what appears to be a D in the style of the Disney logo.

During a demonstration, protesters lie in a corpse-like position to signify the effect of shooting massacres.

The question is, will Disney allow this? It is private property, after all, and do they actually want to tick off consumers?

Humorously, if they do get away with it, they’ll be protected by people carrying firearms.

Surprise: Warmist Says Capitalism Is Killing The Planet

Funny how so much of the ‘climate change’ dogma revolves around hardcore Progressive/Marxist/Socialist/etc beliefs

Capitalism is killing the planet and needs to change, says investor Jeremy Grantham

Jeremy Grantham, the longtime investor famous for calling the last two major bubbles in the market, is urging capitalists and “mainstream economists” to recognize the looming threat of climate change.

“Capitalism and mainstream economics simply cannot deal with these problems. Mainstream economics largely ignore [them],” Grantham, who co-founded GMO in 1977, said Tuesday in an impassioned speech at the Morningstar Investment Conference in Chicago. “We deforest the land, we degrade our soils, we pollute and overuse our water and we treat air like an open sewer, and we do it all off the balance sheet.”

This negligence is due in large part to how short-sighted corporations can be, Grantham said. “Anything that happens to a corporation over 25 years out doesn’t exist for them, therefore, as I like to say, grandchildren have no value” to them, he said.

Grantham has been outspoken about his concerns over climate change for years. In 1997, he started the Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, which gives money to entities that look to protect the environment. Grantham’s company also launched the GMO Climate Change fund last year, which invests in wind and solar companies.

The article doesn’t say what he recommends, but, what are the alternatives to capitalism? Warmists are always saying that the government needs to be in control. They’re authoritarians.

And, interestingly, Grantham made quite a bit of money off of capitalism before deciding he didn’t like it for Other People.

Oh, and how well has Communism and Socialism done in countries like China and the Soviet Union?

Guess Who Knew That Hillary Was Using A Homebrew Server For Her Work?

One guess (via Twitchy)

Hillary “used her private email extensively while outside the United States, including from the territory of sophisticated adversaries”. One of the people she was conversing with was U.S. President Barack Obama. That was scrubbed, and replaced with “another senior government official,” before being totally removed from James Comey’s missive laying out that she broke the law which ended with “never mind.”

https://twitter.com/JamesHasson20/status/1007411019495411712

As NoFilterNetwork tweeted “Been pretty obvious why the FBI beat around the bush with Hillary: Obama White House was implicated.” Many others are saying this was a coverup, which would have succeeded because they all thought Hillary would win easily. What we do know is that POTUS knew Hillary was improperly, and even illegally, using a homebrew server instead of her official, government sanctioned email account to perform government business which included confidential conversations as well as the transmittal of classified material.

You Know That Raccoon Which Climbed A Building? It Has Deeper Meaning Or Something

Remember this guy?

https://twitter.com/ajplus/status/1007511271573524480

A good, cute story. Over to Ruth Ben-ghiat at CNN

The Minnesota raccoon’s journey has a deeper resonance

The small thin body slowly climbs the side of a 25-story skyscraper in St. Paul, Minnesota, clinging on for his life, his narrow paws spread painfully wide. His little face, seen at close range through the windows when he stops to rest, shows fear and exhaustion, but the windows don’t open and the office workers who film him are helpless to intervene.

Through the day and night, as he climbed and slept, the raccoon became a social media star, with his own hashtag (#MPRraccoon). His story had suspense and pathos: a creature that finds himself alone in an unfamiliar and forbidding environment, without access to food or water, embarks on a highly risky journey in order to survive. No wonder people around the world kept vigil.

#MPRraccoon’s story has a happy ending. He made it to the roof and was lured by cat food into a pen to be picked up by St. Paul Wildlife Management, treated and released into an appropriate habitat. “Goodbye friend!” tweeted UBS Plaza, the site of the animal drama.

Wait for it

This animal drama may seem trivial, but the emotion and attention it aroused carry lessons for us in America today. For many other small creatures are now in the midst of journeys they never expected to take, which are unlikely to have the good outcome of #MPRraccoon’s. I am thinking of the children of migrant families who in the last month, in accordance with a new policy of President Donald Trump’s administration, have been forcibly separated from all that is familiar to them, who are on their own journeys of survival, too terrified to fully rest, and often too young to understand what is happening to them and why.

Although José lives in a home, many other children in his situation may end up, like #MPRraccoon, trapped in the human equivalent of pens and cages. Government shelters already house thousands, but now, according to McClatchy, the Department of Health and Human Services — what a misnomer, in this case — is considering building tent cities to house the thousands of children they intend to capture. Texas is one likely site of the kinds of tent cities that are so familiar to us from the news about refugee camps across the world.

The cages were under Obama.

Anyway, you can imagine that this same Trump Derangement Syndrome continues on. Only in Liberal World with TDS do we see a cute story of a trash panda used for hardcore politics.

Obligatory OIG Report Post

I really don’t have much time today to delve deep into this whole thing, but, suffice to say, it doesn’t make James Comey, Loretta Lynch, or the FBI look very good

https://twitter.com/redsteeze/status/1007329957234782209

And reporters were basically bribing FBI employees

If the investigation was done correctly, Hillary and her people would have been put in front of a jury for multiple felonies. Have at it!

Washington Post: 8 Million Might Starve In Yemen, And It’s Probably Trump’s Fault

Now, just remember how the headline from the WP Editorial Board reads

8 million teeter on the brink of famine. America is complicit.

America is complicit

WHILE THE world was focused on the U.S.-North Korea summit, two U.S. allies in the Middle East launched a reckless and potentially catastrophic military offensive in Yemen, a country already enduring the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Troops led by the United Arab Emirates and backed by Saudi Arabian warplanes are attempting to seize the port city of Hodeida, which is held by the Houthi forces who make up one side in Yemen’s civil war. Because 70 percent of Yemen’s food and aid shipments come though the port, the United Nations and every major humanitarian agency have warned of dire consequences for the 22 million Yemenis who already depend on outside assistance, including 8 million on the brink of famine. They pleaded with the Saudis and Emiratis to hold off and allow more time for a diplomatic solution.

So, this is also about deflecting from what Trump has so far accomplished and may further accomplish with North Korea.

The attack nevertheless went ahead early Wednesday after receiving what amounted to passive assent from the Trump administration. That means the United States, which already has been supplying its two allies with intelligence, refueling and munitions, will be complicit if the result is what aid officials say it could be: starvation, epidemics and other human suffering surpassing anything the world has seen in decades.

See? Blame Trump for “passive assent”.

Though Yemen has always been a poor country, this crisis is man-made. It was triggered by the intervention of the Saudis and Emiratis in Yemen’s war three years ago. Promising quick action to drive the Houthis out of the capital, Sanaa, and other cities they had captured, the two countries carried out bombing campaigns that killed thousands of civilians but failed to recapture much of the country.

Guess who’s name doesn’t appear anywhere? And was a big supporter of the actions against Yemen? Who launched strikes himself? Wouldn’t this have been termed an “inherited problem” back in 2009 and 2010?

The Trump administration could have prevented the assault on Hodeida; instead, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo equivocated, thereby allowing it to go forward. Congress, which has long been uneasy with U.S. support for the Yemen war, must now act. All funding for U.S. support for the intervention should be halted and further arms sales put on hold until the offensive ends, humanitarian assistance flows freely and peace talks are underway.

That cited article shows that the Trump admin “had asked the Emirates to hold off on an operation until after U.N. envoy Martin Griffiths presented a new plan for jump-starting peace talks.”

It’s funny how the same WPEB forgot to criticize Obama and demand the same things of Congress.

City Of Berkeley Demands “Humane Population Controls” Due To ‘Climate Change’ (scam)

Say, will the City of Berkeley give up their own use of fossil fuels for city business? How about the council members who approved of this?

Berkeley declares ‘climate emergency’ worse than World War II, demands ‘humane’ population control

The Berkeley City Council on Tuesday night declared what it called a “climate emergency” with more global significance than World War II, and demanded an immediate effort to “humanely stabilize population” and “reverse ecological overshoot.”

The resolution, which invokes the global conflict between the Axis and Allies, charges that Americans bear an “extraordinary responsibility to solve the crises” facing the environment.

“[D]uring World War II, the Bay Area came together across race, age, class, gender and other differences in an extraordinary regional mobilization, building and repairing Liberty ships, converting car assembly plants into tank manufacturing facilities,” the resolution reads. (snip)

But according to the Berkeley City Council, another thinning of the herd might be needed.

The resolution notes that “reversing ecological overshoot and halting the sixth mass extinction requires an effort to preserve and restore half Earth’s biodiversity in interconnected wildlife corridors and to humanely stabilize population.”

Will the city council kill off a sizable chunk of the Berkeley population? They’d have to do it in a diverse manner, of course. Will it be a lottery? A race to the finish? Those who can’t burn an American flag in 5 minutes or less get whacked? If you don’t own a Che or Mao shirt you’re gassed and composted?

Also, the resolution states that “residents should avoid “consumerism” and “narcissism.”” Unsurprising that they’re against capitalism. Will the city council ban retail stores? How about supermarkets?

Democrat Pepper Sprays Himself In The Face For Gun Grabbing

Well, this idea is better than the rape whistles Dem Rep Joe Salazar recommend. But, still doesn’t put the fear of being blasted in a criminal

(Newsweek) A Democratic candidate for Colorado’s 6th congressional district on Denver’s east side recorded a video in which he blasted himself in the face with pepper spray to promote non-firearm methods of self-defense.

Levi Tillemann is a Denver businessman and the former special adviser for policy and international affairs at the U.S. Department of Energy under the Obama administration. Tillemann took on a painful and hyperbolic stunt in order to differentiate himself from Democratic opponent Jason Crow as he seeks to win the June 26 primary and ultimately try to replace the seat currently held by Republican Michael Coffman. Tillemann released a video Friday touting “non-lethal self-defense tools” for teachers in lieu of recent proposals that educators should be given firearms to defend classrooms from school shooters. (snip)

“Empower schools and teachers with nonlethal self-defense tools, like this can of pepper spray,” Tillemann says in the video as he prepares to spray himself in the face. “Pepper spray doesn’t cost much, and it can be safely stored in a break-glass-in-case-of-emergency cabinet. But it’s powerful and won’t accidentally kill a kid…Trust me, this will stop anybody in their tracks.” (snip)

Tillemann told the Independent he also supports more traditional, mainstream Democratic gun control proposals such as the assault-style weapons ban and forbidding people on no-fly lists from acquiring firearms. He said he also supports a 10-day waiting period for buying a gun and legislation that would require safe storage of household weapons. “What we’re doing now and what we’ve been doing for decades isn’t working. And, what this is is an effort to solve a problem and to an idea out there that can work and to start a conversation about using non lethal self defense methods that will save lives,” said Tillemann.

Good job, Tillemann, and, of course he supports measures which make it harder for law abiding citizens to protect themselves using their 2nd Amendment Rights.

Good strategy, Democrats. Go with it.
