I generally avoid reproducing entire articles as a matter of good blogging form. It was established early on that, unless you’re talking about a short article, you should avoid full copy and paste, simply take excerpts, and always link. Some ignored this, and shame on them. People work hard on their content, and that’s not what blogging is about. That said, there are times when it’s necessary for full context. Here’s one, a letter by David Kraner to the Bradenton Herald, which is shocking in that it was published
Really? Climate change? Here are some real threats
When a sharp knife slices across your throat or is plunged into your heart or that of a loved one… is climate change danger what comes to your mind as an existential threat?
When the airplane you and your loved ones are on disintegrates into fragments and plunges all of you to a horrible death after a terrorist bomb explodes… is welcoming all refugees, immigrants, legal and illegal, what comes to mind?
When a bright flash and a mushroom cloud from a North Korean or Iranian nuclear bomb vaporizes your city and you and your loved ones… will Russian election influence be what comes to your mind?
When your Internet crashes, your cell phones and landlines go dead and your electricity goes out in an EMP event, all in the dead of a freezing winter and the temperatures in your home plummets while you freeze to death… will CO2 and the Paris Climate Accord be on your mind?
When terrorists enter your children’s school and begin to execute them… will the gun ban (you favored) in school that prevented abiding staff and teachers from saving your child, come to mind as a good idea?
If the answer to any or all of these and many more reasonable questions, is “yes,†then you may be a delusional liberal, and likely a coward, and almost as big a threat to our nation as the terrorists who are at war with us.

But they looked fabulous doing it!
(LA Times) This year, LA Pride went from party to protest. Gone were the colorful floats and boozy crowds watching from the sidewalks of Santa Monica Boulevard. Instead, marchers flooded the streets of Hollywood and West Hollywood, the crowd stretching for several blocks for what can best be described as a symbol of the Trump era — a protest march with a hashtag in its name: the #ResistMarch.
“This year, the LGBTQ community is lending our iconic rainbow flag to anyone who feels like their rights are under threat and to anyone who feels like America’s strength is its diversity,†said Brian Pendleton, who organized the march, which he said was inspired by the massive women’s marches that took place the day after Trump’s inauguration.
Indeed, #ResistMarch participants held up handmade signs that spoke of many issues in addition to LGBTQ rights: healthcare, climate change, immigration. Many wore the pink knit “pussyhats†that became symbolic of the women’s march, and the crowd chanted, “black lives matter!†as they walked.
Can anyone explain exactly what Rights have been taken away? Any? This is all about people having a snit fit over something that hasn’t happened, and won’t happen.
Firooz was attending the march with members of her North Hollywood church and wore a T-shirt with the words “Jesus Resisted.†She’s been frustrated by the rhetoric of the Trump administration and worries about the rights of LGBTQ people and others being scaled back. It’s been an emotional six months for her. Her parents are originally from Iran, and she has worried about them, too, as Trump pushed for a travel ban that included their home country.
“I am a queer Iranian woman in the Trump era,†Firooz said. “He really doesn’t like me. It’s not a partisan issue for me. It’s how Trump treats people.â€
She should attempt to travel to Iran and protest there and see what happens. Well, in theory only, because bad things would happen to her, we know they would happen to her, she’d be lucky of it was only being thrown in jail for life, so, it would be best for her safety if she didn’t. In fact, Trump has always supported gay people.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles), known for her acerbic comments about Trump, said of him: “He’s not my president. He’s not your president. He lies. He cheats. He’s a bully. He disrespects us all. And if he thinks he can mess with the LGBT community, he’d better look at what happened right here in West Hollywood.â€
The crowd, many still clutching rainbow flags, joined her in a chant of “Impeach 45!†before she told them to “Stay woke.â€
How is Trump messing with the gay community? Crazy Aunty Maxine is rather short on details. And, it’s rather sad that someone of her advanced age is yammering on about being “woke.”
Regardless, what rights has Trump taken away? What rights is he trying to take away? There’s no right for non-citizens to come to America. And, if he was really trying to take rights away, would he allow this march?

Only if you let them be
(NY Daily News) Terrorist attacks like the ones in London and Manchester are the “new normal,†and the U.S. should brace itself for similar attacks, former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton said Sunday.
“We are clearly seeing that the pace of terrorist attacks, certainly in Europe has been increasing, said Bratton, speaking to John Catsimatidis on his “Cats Roundtable†radio show. “We are very mindful that that type of attack is quite likely to occur in the United States at some point and time, despite our best efforts to prevent it.â€
Bratton, who retired from the NYPD in 2016, said he expects more terrorist attacks worldwide in coming months as ISIS loses ground in Syria and Iraq.
“I think as the issue in Syria comes to some closure, as ISIS loses its last city and its caliphate, unfortunately it’s like lancing a boil,“ he said. “What’s inside is going to spread around the world even more so.â€
On one hand, Mr. Bratton has a good point: the Islamists, those who practice extremist Islam (the word is never mentioned in the brief article), will spread out around the world and attempt to create more attacks, while at the same time spreading the word and attempting to convert people to extremist Islam, enticing them to kill in the name of Allah and Muhammad.
On the other hand, why do we have to tolerate this as the new normal? Why do we have to tolerate this at all? Yes, it will happen, but, we are we not doing what we can to stop this as much as possible? For starters, why are we allowing people from these war torn areas, areas which are ripe with extremist Muslim, into our nations? We can’t vet them properly. Many that are already here travel to those Islamist dominated areas and become more extremist.
We know why they commit terrorist attacks. Why must we tolerate this?

Do Leftists ever get tired of unhinged moonbattery from their comrades? Do they ever shake their heads, do a facepalm, and say “stop, please, this is as embarrassing as a drunk friend sharting themselves at a fancy swimsuit party with super-models”? Probably not
(Daily Caller) A liberal law professor wrote a lengthy op-ed claiming President Donald Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris climate accord is a “crime against humanity†that is an “impeachable offense.â€
“Trump’s withdrawal from the climate agreement constitutes an impeachable offense,†Marjorie Cohn, a professor emerita at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, wrote in an oped for Truthout published Thursday.
This violates the public trust and constitutes a high crime or something, according to Ms. Cohn.
Democrats and environmentalists argued Trump’s decision to withdraw from Paris ceded U.S. leadership on global warming to China and other countries. Cohn went further, saying Trump violated the public trust by condemning them to apocalyptic warming. (snip)
“Mosquitos will increasingly carry diseases. The Earth will be hit with massive floods, devastating heat waves and drought. Polar bears will become extinct. People will lose their lands, their homes and their lives. Indeed, life as we know it will come to an end,†Cohn wrote.
It gets better, if you can believe it
That’s not all, Cohn also argues Trump’s Paris decision constituted a “high crime,†which the U.S. constitution lays out as a standard for impeachment. Cohn also says the 22 Republican Senators who signed a letter to Trump urging a Paris withdrawal had “aided and abetted†his “crime against humanity.â€
See Captain Janeway above. Fortunately, the Crazy doesn’t end
Cohn said Trump’s Paris agreement withdrawal could be tried before the International Criminal Court for “destruction of the environment.†She cites a report from the non-profit group Center for Climate Crime Analysis that “[c]limate crimes are often intertwined with other serious international crimes.â€
“As a result of this link, as well through their impact on climate change, climate crimes may represent a threat to international peace and security and potentially affect all of humankind and the very foundations of civilization,†Cohn quoted from the group’s report.
Obviously, there was never any war prior to ‘climate change’, and it’s only gotten worse since Trump. Can we blame WWI and WWII on him?
Excitable Marjorie is calling this a crime against the public trust, and a crime against humanity, as stated in international law, and we get, from the opinion piece by Ms. Cohn
By pulling out of the climate accord, Trump “makes himself guilty of what looks like a grave crime against humanity, the planet Earth, and future generations,†Uffe Elbæk, former Danish minister of culture and leader of Denmark’s Green Party, said.
Uh huh. And she believes that “imperiling the planet” is a non-partisan issue, hence
It is incumbent upon the House of Representatives to vote for the impeachment of Trump.
Good luck with that Professor Special Snowflake, good luck with that. There was a time when crazy kept it’s opinions to itself, especially at someplace like an influential school of law. Now, it seems, as if everyone must let out their crazy inner monologue.

Colour-changing T-shirt alerts wearers to the effects of climate change
Design studios The Unseen and The Lost Explorer have come together to create a T-shirt that changes colour when it comes into contact with polluted water.
The Unseen Explorer T-shirt, named after both the studios, was launched on World Environment Day on 5 June – less than a week after US President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris climate agreement.
Designed to represent the effect that climate change has on ocean acidification, the T-shirt is coated in a natural cabbage dye that reacts to pollution in water – and changes colour depending on the pH levels. The designers hope it will help to spread awareness about climate change.
If you’re thinking “are they saying that the pH levels are pollution?”, well, yes, that is exactly what they are saying. Because that is all the t-shirt does: change color depending on the pH levels.
“[The project] is about using colour, clothing or material to give a language to something that’s deeper and bigger that most of us wouldn’t even understand when we look at facts and figures.”
It’s not easy to understand because the facts from the Cult of Climastrology are fungible. You never know what they will change from the past to prop up their beliefs.
“PH is an innate property of water, one that defines the limits within which life can and can’t thrive,” said the duo. “The T-shirt starts its life purple to indicate the purest form of neutral water.”
“When the T-shirt comes into contact with non-neutral water, the pH level of that water is then revealed through the colour of the garment, forming colour shifts through the pH scale from alkaline green to acidic red.”
The plain dye it yourself version is just $75! What a bargain! It doesn’t actually do anything, you have to go through a process to make it ‘carbon pollution’ color changing yourself.
Yeah, there’s a big “or something” in this article, in what is missing from the debate
Federal Judge Calls a Critical Part of Texas’ “Sanctuary Cities” Crackdown Unconstitutional
The same San Antonio federal court judge who will soon decide whether Texas can enforce its new law banning so-called “sanctuary cities” just explained in a separate ruling why a major portion of the law appears to be unconstitutional.
U.S. District Court Judge Orlando Garcia ruled on Monday that the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office violated the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on unreasonable search and seizure when jailers detained an undocumented immigrant for more than two months in 2016 after a misdemeanor charge against him was dismissed. Lawyers for the man had challenged the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office’s longstanding practice of granting so-called immigration “detainers,” routine requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for local jails to hold people suspected of federal immigration violations, even if their local charges have been dismissed or otherwise resolved. Lawyers across the country have argued that such requests are often flawed, haphazard and fall well below the legal standard of a warrant or judge’s order.
This week, Judge Garcia concluded that the case of Julio Trujillo, who court records show was arrested and charged with the misdemeanor assault of his girlfriend in January 2016, is an example of how the detainer system can lead to warrantless, unconstitutional detention. Trujillo’s lawyers say he spent a total of 76 days in Bexar County lockup after his charge was dismissed because of a detainer request ICE had lodged with the county. In his Monday ruling, which was first reported by the Express-News, Garcia said the county had wrongly assumed that ICE detainers, which are usually over alleged civil immigration violations and not criminal matters, constitute probable cause. He wrote that the “routine detention of such individuals made it inevitable that it (the county) would engage in warrantless detention of individuals who were not suspected of any criminal offense.”
Lawyers challenging the state’s new immigration law, Senate Bill 4, say the ruling should prove useful as cities and counties across the state sue to block the law from going into effect on September 1. Under SB 4, local officials who don’t comply with all ICE detainers risk being booted out of office or even criminally charged.
The thrust of the article, and what supporters of illegal aliens are claiming (such as this Huffington Post article based on the above), is that the state forcing jurisdictions to comply with ICE detainers is now unconstitutional, based on this ruling.
What’s missing is that, while Bexar County was in the wrong and did violate the rights of the illegal alien in question, that in no way invalidates SB4 on requiring compliance with ICE detainers. Bexar was wrong to hold Trujillo that long. And, it was not actually in compliance with ICE detainer policy. Said policy requires a 48 hour hold. After that, if ICE has not picked up the illegal in question, well, that’s the fault of ICE, and the jurisdiction can, and should, release the illegal.
One could argue “hey, the illegal was being released from jail for rape/murder/violence!!!!” Yes. But, the burden is on ICE to do their job within the confines of the time period. If they’re placing the detainer, the onus is on them to do it in the allotted time. That’s the way it works, and should work. That Bexar County chose to hold the illegal in question for 76 days has nothing to do with SB4: it just shows that the County made a big, big mistake.
BTW, as both articles attempt to make the case that Trujillo was a model citizen who was charged with a misdemeanor that was dismissed, they let something slip through
Other than the misdemeanor charge that landed him in jail and was ultimately dismissed, records show no other criminal history. Court documents do, however, indicate that he was deported in late 2001 (it’s unclear when he re-entered the country).
Entering the country is a criminal act with a civil penalty. Entering the country after being deported is a criminal act with a criminal penalty. That makes Trujillo a, get this, criminal.
