House Democrats Release Their Climate Crisis (scam) Plan, Which Ends Greenhouse Gas Emissions By 2050

By William Teach July 1, 2020 – 8:05 am

Yeah, the plan is as stupid as you’d expect

House Democrats climate plan would end greenhouse gas emissions by 2050

House Democrats on Tuesday unveiled a plan to address climate change that would set a goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, while pushing renewable energy such as wind and solar power and addressing environmental contamination that disproportionately harms low-income and minority communities.

The election-year plan backed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other leaders is less ambitious than a sweeping Green New Deal that a group of progressive Democrats outlined last year to combat climate change and create thousands of jobs in renewable energy.

The Green New Deal, championed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., calls for dramatic steps to virtually eliminate U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 with a goal of meeting “100% of the power demand in the United States through clean, renewable and zero-emission energy sources,” including nuclear power.

The new plan, put forth Tuesday in a 538-page report, offers similar goals but at a slower pace. It sets a range of targets, including a 45% reduction by 2030 of greenhouse gas emissions, which cause global warming.

But, will they even vote on it? They haven’t on the Green New Deal. Again, Mitch McConnell should put it up for a vote in the Senate, see the Democrats squirm.

The plan also would require that by 2035 new cars emit no greenhouse gases, while heavy-duty trucks would eliminate those emissions by 2040. The plan would eliminate overall emissions from the power sector by 2040 and all but eliminate greenhouse emissions from all economic sectors by 2050.

So, by 2035 most citizens will not be able to afford a vehicle. What are families supposed to do regarding minivans and mid-size SUVs?

While likely to win approval in the Democratic-controlled House, the plan faces insurmountable opposition in the Republican-controlled Senate. Democrats are hoping to make inaction on climate change by congressional Republicans and the Trump administration a key campaign issue in November’s election.

Keep an eye on it, see if they even bring it up to vote in the House. Just a few points, it gets the federal government heavily involved in your home condition, in building new homes, in your energy use and restricting your usage. It gets Los Federales heavily involved in telecommunications, because they’ve failed on Net Neutrality. It will kill off lots of pipelines. It gets the federal government even more involved in private sector business decisions, in your healthcare decisions, more involved in running municipalities. It takes over more state owned land and puts the government in charge of all waterways (after Obama’s Waters of the US rule was killed off). It makes the military all about ‘climate change’. You can see it all here.

I triple dog dare them to vote on it.

#CallASocialWorker: Los Angeles Moving Ahead With Plan To Replace Armed Officers On Non-Violent Calls

By William Teach July 1, 2020 – 7:39 am

It’s going to be a new era of public safety for Los Angeles, you know

L.A. council advances plan to replace LAPD officers with social workers on non-violent police calls

The Los Angeles City Council took its first step toward replacing police officers with social workers on nonviolent calls for service, voting unanimously Tuesday to develop a model for unarmed crisis response.

The motion instructs city officials to work with Los Angeles police and agencies like the L.A. Homeless Services Authority and county Department of Mental Health to offer “non-law enforcement solutions in circumstances that are non-criminal.” It comes amid calls nationwide for police divestment and reform in the wake of George Floyd’s killing.

Herb Wesson, one of the six councilmembers who presented the measure, said it signals “the dawn of a new era of public safety in Los Angeles.”

“The bottom line is that the way things have been going is not working for our communities,” he wrote in a tweet. “This last month has made that crystal clear. We have a responsibility to listen to our people, and our people have spoken.”

The mob has spoken, and they’re getting what they wished for.

Under the plan, trained professionals like homeless outreach and medical workers would handle certain emergency situations, such as mental health crises, substance abuse calls and even neighborly disputes.

How many “neighborly disputes” turn violent?

When L.A.’s motion was introduced, Robert Harris, director of the Los Angeles Police Protective League told the L.A. Daily News his union has been discussing the idea “for a long time” and he supports the move. The union represents more than 9,000 of the LAPD’s 13,000 employees.

“For these calls that don’t necessarily need a law enforcement response, can we shift that response to somebody else?” he said.

A big reason for the shift to armed police officers had to do with non-armed people showing up and not being able to do anything because of the violence.

In New Haven, Connecticut, it is being reported that 95.6% of calls do not involve violence

The CAD (Computer Aided Dispatch) reports show that less than 4.4 percent of those dispatches—or a total of 6,809—were for calls about assault, gunfire, robbery, rape, stabbing, murder, or person shot.

There were calls that closely aligned with what Compstat reports identify as property crime: residential burglary alarm activation (12,464 / 7.97 percent of all calls), theft (6,040 / 3.86 percent), burglary occurred (1,315 / 0.84 percent), stolen auto (748 / 0.48 percent), and burglary in progress (202 / 0.13 percent).

There were dispatches that fall within what Compstat reports single out as “other crime”: criminal mischief / vandalism (3,076 / 1.97 percent), threatening / stalking (1,645 / 1.05 percent), drug / narcotics complaint (1,342 / 0.86 percent), prostitution complaint (104 / 0.07 percent), and weapons complaint (712 / 0.46 percent).

There are multiple charts at the website, worth a click, because they are big and the writing is tiny. Think how quickly things could possibly go pear shaped during these calls. Certainly, if someone has come home and the house is burgled, or their car broken into, their car was stolen, sure, don’t really need an armed officer to take the report. If the burglary is in progress? Might not want to send a social worker.

A domestic dispute? These could very well get violent. Someone having a drug incident? These can go bad, which is why police often escort ambulances. Weapons complain? No, really, they include this in “non-violent” response.

Trespassing? There’s a chance for violence. Same with noise complaint. And door check/welfare complaint. We’ve seen motor vehicle stops get violent (will social workers be allowed to cruise and give violations tickets?). Suspicious person(s). And they include warrant/wanted person. No, really.

But, hey, we should all back Los Angeles in doing this. During any experiment we need an experimental group. We can watch what happens. Hey, perhaps it works. If so, great. It can free up armed officers for important calls. Sadly, because of society (and not just in the U.S.), interactions that shouldn’t have any violence have a chance to become violent, which is why police officers started showing up where non-armed non-LEOs used to respond.

Heck, sometimes even one officer isn’t enough. Here’s in Alexandria, La

According to a post on the Alexandria, La Police Department’s Facebook page, It all started just before 9:30 p.m. Friday, when the officer saw a group of people in a vehicle near the hospital entrance playing loud music and disturbing people who were there for medical treatment.

The officer first asked them to turn down the music, which they did. Until the officer left the area, and then, they allegedly cranked up the music again.

The officer heard it, returned and instructed them to leave the property or face possible arrest. However, a short time later the officer observed the suspects back on hospital property at the entrance to the emergency room.

And the officer came back to arrest him, and the people jumped him and knocked him out, and even attempted to take his weapon. Fortunately, bystanders and other police came to the rescue. Now, can you see a social worker or some sort of non-armed police officer showing up for a noise or trespassing complaint?

Exaggerated? UNC Chapel Hill To Require 3 Feet For School Year

By William Teach June 30, 2020 – 12:30 pm

Why 3 feet? Could it be that this is, in fact, overblown? Exaggerated? I’m saying it isn’t dangerous, but, things like this make you think that the danger is exaggerated

UNC Chapel Hill says 3 feet is enough space for upcoming semester.

UNC Chapel Hill announced a social distancing policy of 3 feet for the upcoming Fall 2020 semester.

Kristen and Jonathan Knudsen, who have kids attending UNC, said they don’t think that’s enough distance.

“CDC guidance and State of North Carolina and Orange County are all saying 6 feet,” said Knudsen.

The UNC website also said that faculty and students will not be notified if a classmate tests positive for COVID-19.

Even when contact-tracing or alerting students who may have been exposed to COVID-19, UNC’s website said they would not consider students who sat 3 feet apart and wore masks to be ‘close contacts’ – and therefore they would not be considered someone who needs to be traced, alerted or quarantined.

If only WRAL had some reporters who could have asked UNC-CH some pointed questions. News outlets these days aren’t much above casual bloggers and Tweeters. Then there’s this

More Americans, especially Republicans, say coronavirus outbreak exaggerated, poll finds

An increasing share of Americans — especially Republicans — believe the coronavirus pandemic is being overexaggerated and see news about the outbreak with partisan viewpoints, according to a new Pew Research study.

Generally, nearly 64 percent of American adults believe the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and public health organizations get the facts right about COVID-19 “almost all” the time, while 30 percent say the same about the Trump administration.

When pandemic dominated the news cycle in April to late May — just before the death of George Floyd and the nationwide protests that have erupted since — the share of Americans who said the outbreak has been exaggerated grew from 29 percent to 38 percent.

I have no problem with social distancing, no touching (I’ve always hated shaking hands, no idea how dirty people’s are), washing hands (which I’ve always done a lot). Nor lots of measures put in place which keep me distanced from customers. I’ve yet to have a cold or the flu this year (knock on wood). Some people get very sick from Coronavirus. Many have died. But, how many did not really even get as sick as having a cold? Remember when they were talking about 1-2 million U.S. deaths? I guarantee that if the media was deemed non-essential the coverage would have been vastly different. I also bet it disappears the day after the election in November if Biden wins.

Liberal Privilege Fail: Child Sexually Assaulted In Powderhorn Park

By William Teach June 30, 2020 – 10:30 am

Hey, remember the story the other day about uber-white liberals in Minneapolis pledging not to call the police, even with all the masses of homeless moving into Powderhorn Park?

But times have changed. After the death of George Floyd at the hands of the police, Ms. Albers, who is white, and many of her progressive neighbors have vowed to avoid calling law enforcement into their community. Doing so, they believed, would add to the pain that black residents of Minneapolis were feeling and could put them in danger.

..

Already, that commitment is being challenged. Two weeks ago, dozens of multicolored tents appeared in the neighborhood park. They were brought by homeless people who were displaced during the unrest that gripped the city. The multiracial group of roughly 300 new residents seems to grow larger and more entrenched every day. They do laundry, listen to music and strategize about how to find permanent housing. Some are hampered by mental illness, addiction or both.

But, they’re still working hard to check their white liberal privilege

Reports: Child sexually assaulted at Powderhorn Park encampment

A child was sexually assaulted at Powderhorn Park, site of a controversial homeless encampment that sprung up in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and the unrest following the death of George Floyd.

Multiple reports say the victim was molested this past week at the park, which is located in south Minneapolis.

People at the park brought the victim to Abbott Northwestern Hospital early Friday, prompting staff to notify the police, KSTP reports.  

The station says no arrest has been made yet, and that there’s not much information about the suspect.

That’s right, someone brought the child to the hospital, but did not call law enforcement. The hospital call the police, as they are required to do by law. Liberals have gone from being a mental disorder to being downright dangerous.

Democrats Set To Reveal Their Climate Crisis (scam) Legislation

By William Teach June 30, 2020 – 7:32 am

Serendipidously, we’re going right back to the well of the DNC and the UK Guardian. Mitch McConnell should immediately put their bill up for a vote, get the Senate Democrats to go on the record. Well, as much as voting “present” is on the record

Democrats to unveil bold new climate plan to phase out emissions by 2050

House Democrats will unveil an aggressive climate crisis “action plan” on Tuesday to nearly eliminate US emissions by 2050, according to summary documents reviewed by the Guardian.

The net-zero emissions goal is what United Nations leaders and the scientific community say the world must achieve to avoid the worst of rising temperatures, and it’s what the Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, says he would pursue if he were to win the White House in November.

I triple dog dare Joe Biden and the Democrats to make their 2020 campaigns net-zero emissions. Stop using fossil fuels, for a start

The Democrats’ proposal, referred to in a two-page summary as a “congressional action plan” and a “roadmap”, calls for interim targets to assess progress and make sure fossil fuel pollution is declining, particularly in communities of color that have suffered environmental injustices.

Ah, so it’s really all about patronizing black people and Latinos, who Democrats like to keep down on the plantation, then ignoring them again till they need their votes.

The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, will announce the plan, compiled by the House select committee on the climate crisis that is chaired by the Florida congresswoman Kathy Castor, at an event in front of the US Capitol on Tuesday morning.

The more than 538-page report will include hundreds of policy recommendations focused on 12 key pillars, according to a separate outline.

Now, those are legislation pages, not book pages, but, still, that is going to be huge. It’s half the size of Obamacare, so, how much climacrazy will be in there? How many restrictions on your life, choice, and liberty? How many that increase your cost of living and taxes?

The proposal outline recommends a clean energy standard for net-zero electricity by 2040 and net-zero new buildings by 2030. It calls for only zero-emitting new vehicles to be sold by 2035, and it advocates for doubling funding for public transit.

How many actual zero-emitting vehicles are there now? Um, zero? How many people actually ride public transit?

Democrats will tout that the plan would provide almost $8tn in climate and health benefits through the middle of the century, but Republicans are sure to zero in on the proposal’s costs, arguing that they will stifle an already struggling economy.

Gee, ya think?

Investments would also be made to stem and respond to climate impacts, including water infrastructure to handle increased flooding and a next-generation 911 system to make sure wireless communications networks are reliable during disasters.

And it will bounce all over the place.

Oil and gas companies would no longer get “unnecessary tax breaks” and the US would place a price on carbon to make companies pay for their pollution. Under the plan, Congress would also implement policies to make sure heavy industries cut pollution in vulnerable communities, so that poor Americans and communities of color do not suffer from the transition.

That sounds like a national carbon tax, will will skyrocket the cost of living. Good luck with this, Dems! Is there a way for House Republicans to force a vote on it, because I’m betting that the Dems have zero interest in actually voting, much like with the Green New Deal. They just want to ClimaVirtue Signal.

DNC Posts, Then Deletes, Tweet Calling Mt. Rushmore Raaaaacist

By William Teach June 30, 2020 – 6:49 am

I suspect that if a poll was taken, there would be overwhelming support for Mt. Rushmore, and the DNC knows it

Dems tweet then delete post linking Trump’s Mt. Rushmore event to ‘glorifying white supremacy’

The Democrats, the official Twitter account of the Democratic National Committee, raised eyebrows on Monday night for accusing President Trump of “glorifying white supremacy” after he scheduled a Fourth of July celebration at Mount Rushmore.

Trump is set to attend a fireworks display at the iconic landmark that honors George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

But a tweet from the Democrats’ official Twitter page took issue with the president for holding the event there and shared a link to an article published by The Guardian last week about the criticism he has received from the Native American community.

“Trump has disrespected Native communities time and again,” The Democrats wrote. “He’s attempted to limit their voting rights and blocked critical pandemic relief. Now he’s holding a rally glorifying white supremacy at Mount Rushmore- a region once sacred to tribal communities.”

Critics pounded the Democrats for the tweet, which has since been deleted.

“Would be curious to hear @TheDemocrats explain what part of shooting off fireworks at Mt. Rushmore for the 4th of July “glorifies white supremacy”. The fireworks? Mt. Rushmore itself? The 4th of July?” GOP pollster Logan Dobson asked. “Like I think I know what they’re implying here, and the tweet was obviously designed to tell their base something, but it would be really instructive if they were actually made to answer the question.”

And it looks like this (via Twitchy)

That Guardian article (yup, the uber-leftist UK Guardian) literally names one specific person who has an issue, despite saying a bunch of Indian tribes have issues. That’s all they could find: one.

While some activists, like Tilsen, want to see the monument removed altogether and the Black Hills region returned to the Lakota, others have called for a share in the economic benefits from the region and the tourists it attracts.

Tilsen is the one mentioned. The rest seem to want some of the cash from it. On that, we should. Anyhow, I’m guessing the DNC decided that this was not the hill they wanted to die on, one with some of our greatest presidents. Destroying Mt. Rushmore probably doesn’t poll well, including with your average Democrat voter, who’s probably being turned off by all this cancel culture crap.

BTW, don’t forget that there are calls to terminate the UK Guardian due to its links to slavery and anti-Lincoln propaganda.

Majority Of Americans And Canadians Agree On Doing Something About ‘Climate Change’ Or Something

By William Teach June 29, 2020 – 3:16 pm

And they’re even willing to pay more in taxes!

Majority of Canadians and Americans agree on climate change issues, poll suggests

The majority of Canadians and Americans agree that climate change is real, a major crisis and more needs to be done to combat its effects, suggests a new poll.

In a survey of 1,000 adults from both sides of the border a majority of Canadians (64 per cent) and Americans (53 per cent) believe that global warming, or climate change, “is a fact and is mostly caused by emissions from vehicles and industrial facilities.” (snip)

Similarly, a majority of those polled feel climate change is a major crisis — 62 per cent of Canadians and 51 per cent of Americans — while 26 per cent on both sides agree it is a minor crisis, and a sliver of Canadians (7 per cent) and Americans (14 per cent) say it is not a crisis at all.

About two-thirds of Canadians think governments, companies and individuals need to do more to deal with issues relating to climate change, while just over half of Americans feel their country should do more.

And when it comes to paying to address those issues with higher taxes, about half of those surveyed would be willing to pay more to combat climate change, floods, forest fires, and fund improvements to transit, schools and housing.

Huh. That’s interesting. Most want Someone Else to deal with the issue, not themselves. Funny how That Guy has to pay the price for the Beliefs of climate cultists, eh? But, what of the taxes? If you click the link in the excerpt, it leads to another article which has links to the surveys. It asks if people are will to pay higher taxes for transit improvements, housing improvements, homelessness (why is this included?), schools, forest fires, floods, and ‘climate change’. For Canada on climate change we get

  • Definitely 29%
  • Probably 31%
  • Probably not 16%
  • Definitely not 19%
  • Not sure 5%

For America

  • Definitely 27%
  • Probably 27%
  • Probably not 16%
  • Definitely not 21%
  • Not sure 8%

What’s missing is how much they’d be willing to pay. Remember this?

Another emerging theme from the survey is that people do not want to spend their own money to combat climate change. Thirty-seven percent do not want to pay any additional taxes, and only 14 percent are willing to pay even $1 more a month.

$1. An this?

For example, while nearly half of adults say they would be willing to pay a $2 monthly tax on their electricity bills to help combat climate change, just over a quarter say they are willing to pay $10 extra each month. And while two-thirds support stricter fuel-efficiency standards for the nation’s cars and trucks, increases in the gas tax remain deeply unpopular.

And this?

70% of respondents are not willing to pay more in electric bills, 67% are not willing to pay more in transportation costs, 66% are not willing to pay more in taxes, and 67% are not willing to pay more in food costs to see a shift to 100% renewable energy.

Oh, and

When asked about the top issue on mind when casting a vote for federal office, respondents listed the economy and jobs (19%) and health care (16%) followed by gun policy, national security and seniors’ issues which all ranked at 8%. Only 7% of adults indicated that climate change was their top issue, tying with immigration.

The minute you add real issues, ‘climate change’ is relegated to fringe issue.

Then we get what people are willing to do in their own lives. American

  • Recycle more 56%
  • Drive less than usual 32%
  • Take shorter showers 31%
  • Reduce your consumption of meat 24%

There’s also two on voting habits. Canadian

  • Recycle more 67%
  • Drive less than usual 38%
  • Take shorter showers 34%
  • Reduce your consumption of meat 24%

Funny thing is, they never seem to do any of this.

The Nation Explains How To Make Defunding The Police A Reality

By William Teach June 29, 2020 – 10:30 am

Bruce Covert, a contributor at the uber-far left The Nation and the NY Times, yammers about defunding the police, and has apparently never heard the phrase “be careful what you wish for, you just might get it all”

How to Make Defunding the Police a Reality

On a Sunday in early June, Grand Army Plaza, a large square at the entrance to Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, swarmed with people of all different races and ages. A family march of parents and their children flowed into groups of young people on bikes. Many held signs declaring “Black lives matter,” but there were perhaps an equal number of other signs: “Defund the police.”

It’s a radical demand that just a few weeks ago was rarely heard on the streets of New York City or in many other cities, for that matter. But since George Floyd, a black resident of Minneapolis, was killed by a white police officer and Breonna Taylor, a black emergency room technician, was killed by police in Louisville, Ky., in her sleep and outrage over these and countless other instances of police brutality pushed tens of thousands of people to protest in cities and towns across the country, it has become a rallying cry of the movement.

It’s not just a slogan. Out of the protest movement has come a surge of organizing to push city councils to shift money out of bloated police budgets and into starved social services—and activists are already seeing some concrete successes. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti walked back a proposed increase for the LAPD and has promised a $150 million cut instead. Lawmakers in 15 other cities have made similar pledges. The Minneapolis City Council has even voted to disband the city’s police department.

This is a very long article, which never really explains what cities without police look like, or just ones with a massive reduction in police.

It’s an unprecedented moment. Spending on the police by state and local governments jumped from about $2 billion in 1960 to $137 billion in 2018, unadjusted for inflation; the average share of city budgets spent on policing grew from 6.6 percent in 1977 to 7.8 percent in 2017. “We have had a persistent trend for the last half-century of spending ever more money on police and incarceration,” said Kelly Lytle Hernandez, a history professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. “This is a truly historic shift.” Organizers agree. “Something like ‘defund the police’ just two weeks ago…was a nonstarter,” said Nicolas O’Rourke, the Pennsylvania organizing director for the Working Families Party. Now it’s a chant heard nearly as often at protests as “No justice, no peace.”

Well, consider that costs of running the police have gone up. The cost of police cars, weapons, technology, etc, have gone up. They didn’t have computers and such in cars back in 1960, right? Dash cams? Body cams? Most wear body armor for simple duty? But, hey, what does it look like with fewer cops? In the post on D&D earlier today, we saw the increase in crime and shooting in NYC.

(Fox News) Seattle residents said Sunday that despite rumors that the city was going to reclaim the “occupied” area known as CHOP, little has changed on the ground and the “security” at the protest zone has actually gotten more “contentious” with residents who live nearby.

“They won’t let people in the neighborhood sometimes at night,” Matthew Ploszaj, who lives there, told KOMO News. He told the station that he supports the Black Lives Matter movement, but said it is a “terrible precedent” that “any political message can come in and occupy a neighborhood.” (snip)

Michael Solan, Seattle Police Officers Guild president, told Fox News on Saturday that business owners and residents there are effectively being held hostage.

“There were some city entities, as far as heads, that went into the area yesterday to try to remove some of the boundary areas – as far as blockades — and they were met with resistance. Armed people flocked into the area and prevented those city entities, those agencies to get the job done,” he told “Cavuto LIVE.” “So no, this has not been solved. It’s deeply troubling still.”

This little area is looking like a warlord area in a 3rd world nation. Crime ridden, people running around with guns and threatening people, really, just what you’d expect. And, let’s not forget that the Minneapolis city council has voted to fully defund their police force, yet, hired their own private security.

Here’s an idea: let’s defund it in Minneapolis and give it 5 years to see what happens. First, though, there needs to be a vote by all citizens. Those who vote for defunding will not be allowed to leave the city for those 5 years. They have to live in accordance with their votes. They have to deal with the consequences and fallout. Sure, no one will be killed by an LEO. And crime will reign supreme. Let Minneapolis be the experimental group, and see what happens.
