Mamdani Vetoes NYC Bill On Anti-Semitism

Anyone surprised? How about all the Jews in NYC who voted for this radical Islamist?

Mamdani in the hot seat after first veto derails bipartisan effort to combat antisemitism: ‘Disappointed’

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is sparking backlash after using his first veto to derail a bipartisan bill aimed at combating antisemitism by expanding protest security safeguards for places of education.

“This could impact workers protesting ICE or college students demanding their school divest from fossil fuels or demonstrating in support of Palestinian rights,” Mamdani said in a statement Friday.

“It is a piece of legislation that has alarmed much of the labor movement, reproductive rights groups and immigration advocates, among others, across this city.”

New York’s former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent against Mamdani in the mayoral race last year, slammed Mamdani’s decision on X, saying he “chose the whims of his radical, extreme-left DSA base over the safety of students and Jewish New Yorkers at a time of rising antisemitism.”

“Instead of governing for all NYers, Mamdani has repealed the very definition of antisemitism from the city’s books, changed how antisemitic crimes are counted and now vetoed these commonsense security measures when they are needed most,” Cuomo continued.

You voted for this, New Yorkers. Are you happy? How about the Jews? It’s not like you weren’t warned about him being a Jew hater.

The bill, Int. 175-B, requires New York law enforcement to develop a plan to contain the risk of physical obstruction, physical injury, intimidation and interference at educational facilities while still allowing for freedom of assembly and First-Amendment events. The plan would then apply to “any building, structure, or place where educational programming takes place.” (snip)

“According to the NYPD, antisemitic incidents accounted for 57% of reported hate crimes in 2025, although only approximately 10% of New York City residents are Jewish. Jewish New Yorkers were the targets of hate crimes more than all other groups combined.”

Common sense legislation, but, of course, NYC has been taken over by the unhinged wackos who take the side of radical Islamic terrorist groups to the point of wanting Jews gone. These are your people, Democrats: do you support this? They aren’t far far fringe, they are the voting base. Do you support them?

Louisiana Looking To Block Climate Scam Lawsuits

I’d usually be against government saying companies cannot be sued, but, really, the astroturfed lawsuits against fossil fuels companies are scams, shakedowns, and a way of trying to force Other People to live without the same fossil fuels the warmists themselves refuse to give up

Climate change lawsuits against fossil fuel companies would be blocked under Louisiana proposal

The Louisiana Legislature is considering a new law to prohibit anyone from suing oil and gas companies for any damages, injuries or deaths attributed to pollution-driven climate change.

House Bill 804, sponsored by Rep. Brett Geymann, R-Lake Charles, cleared its first hurdle Thursday when it advanced with unanimous support from the House Committee on Natural Resources and Environment.

The bill would effectively give energy companies legal immunity from liability related to illnesses, injuries, deaths or other damages stemming from the climate effects of industrial air pollution.

CO2 is not a pollutant, but, a trace gas necessary for life on Earth.

Geymann, who is calling his proposal the Louisiana Energy Protection Act, said it is not meant to stop legitimate lawsuits against a particular facility’s greenhouse gas emissions. Its prohibition would not apply to damages arising from violations of regulatory air permits or the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

And that is the way it should be: if they actually create pollution, they should be held responsible.

While some Republicans on the Louisiana House committee questioned the legitimacy of climate science, lawmakers from both parties voiced approval for Geymann’s bill, which has the backing of influential business and fossil fuel lobby groups.

Rep. Marcus Bryant, D-New Iberia, poked fun at the notion of climate change litigation by comparing it to him suing a golf course for a gust of wind pushing his ball into a pond.

“I hit the ball and, out the blue, a whiff of wind puts my ball in the water,” Bryant said. “Golf courses are not in this bill. I could sue my golf course? Because this was serious.”

Suing fossil fuels companies when they refuse to give them up themselves is sillier, especially when there is nothing unusual about this Holocene warm period.

DOJ Looking To Revoke Citizenship For Hundreds Of Criminals

That is part and parcel of gaining citizenship: you can’t be a scumbag criminal

DOJ aims to strip citizenship from hundreds of foreign-born Americans, sources say

The Justice Department is targeting at least 300 foreign-born Americans to possibly revoke their citizenship as part of the Trump administration’s effort to ramp up denaturalization, according to a person familiar with the investigations.

A Justice Department official told NBC News the number was in the hundreds.

NBC News previously reported that the Trump administration was dramatically expanding an effort to revoke U.S. citizenship for foreign-born Americans.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency within the Department of Homeland Security that’s responsible for legal immigration, sent experts to its offices around the country or reassigned staff members to look for possible cases where citizenship could be revoked. The goal was to supply between 100 and 200 potential cases per month to the Justice Department, which prosecutes them, NBC News reported.

Who are these people?

“The Department of Justice is laser-focused on rooting out criminal aliens defrauding the naturalization process,” a Justice Department spokesperson said. “Under the leadership of President Trump and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the Department is pursuing the highest volume of denaturalization referrals in history. We are moving at warp speed to ensure fraudsters are held accountable and prosecuted to the fullest extent.”

Such cases of denaturalization have typically been very rare, involving people who concealed criminal histories or previous human rights violations during their application processes.

So, scumbags that the Democrats will surely fight to keep

It’s not clear why the Justice Department has singled out the roughly 300 foreign-born Americans. The New York Times first reported the tally.

Because they are scumbags. I wonder how many of them will be the Somalis who were involved in fraud and given free, cheap citizenship and then refused to assimilate, and demand that the U.S. changes to accommodate them. Be fun if Ilhan Omar was on that list.

Horror: War With Iran Accelerating Climate Doom

If only Trump had just let Iran get their nuclear weapons this wouldn’t be a problem

US-Israel war on Iran is accelerating climate change

A new analysis published March 21 by the Climate and Community Institute (CCI) has quantified the greenhouse gas emissions produced in the first 14 days of the US-Israel war on Iran, finding that the conflict released more carbon pollution in two weeks than many smaller nations, such as Iceland, emit in an entire year. The findings begin to expose the full environmental cost of the war, a cost whose largest portion has yet to be emitted and will be borne by the international working class.

The analysis covers the period from February 28 to March 14, 2026, and estimates total emissions of approximately 5.1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) across five categories: the destruction of homes and civilian buildings, the burning of oil stored in bombed refineries and tankers, fuel consumed in combat and support operations, the embodied carbon of destroyed military equipment, and the embodied carbon in missiles and drones used by all parties.

What would be the carbon footprint if Iran dropped a nuclear weapon or two on Israel? Is suspect the people pushing this crap wouldn’t care, and would probably cheer. Also, who are the people pushing this crap? That would be the World Socialist Website. Huh.

The largest source was not the weapons or the fighter jets and bombers flying from as far as western England, but the destruction of civilian infrastructure. Based on Red Crescent Society of Iran reports that approximately 20,000 civilian units were damaged or destroyed, including 16,191 residential buildings, 3,384 commercial units, 77 medical centers and 69 schools, the researchers estimated 2.4 million tCO2e in embodied emissions that will be released when rubble is cleared and infrastructure rebuilt.

Um, OK, listen to the hardcore Islamist government of Iran.

Oh No: DOJ Program Not Approving NGOs To Help Illegal Aliens

This sure seems like one of those crazy programs designed to help illegal aliens avoid being deported, but, even more so, redistribute taxpayer money to friendly NGOs as slush money

From the link

The Justice Department program that accredits nonprofit organizations to help provide legal aid to low-income immigrants has failed to approve a single new application since March— after its attorneys were quietly reassigned to other offices, sources with direct knowledge of the program told CBS News.

A month ago, the small group of senior attorneys who operated the Recognition and Accreditation program, part of the Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review, were transferred without explanation to work in nearby immigration courts, CBS News previously reported.

The Recognition and Accreditation program certifies non-attorneys who work for largely faith-based legal advocacy organizations such as Catholic Charities and Jewish Family Services so they are authorized to assist immigrants on everything from naturalization petitions to representation in the Justice Department’s immigration courts.

The reassigned DOJ lawyers were responsible for renewing and approving new applications for the program.

Think on that: the illegals have come to the US illegally. Many of them spent thousands and thousands of dollars to travel to the US, some way more because they came from Asia and Africa, yet, the United States government is going use taxpayer money to help people who aren’t even lawyers to try and find loopholes to stay in the US, rather than using that money to deport them. What they hell is wrong with our laws? They are contradictory. The Constitution isn’t: it says to protect the US from invasion. This is an invasion.

That’s just a few short years, but, it’s been going on for decades.

Excitable Adam Schiff Introduces Bill To Look At ‘Climate Change’ And Superfund Sites

It’s not like these superfund sites aren’t already environmental messes, no, Schiff for brains wants to drag ‘climate change’ into it, which would waste time and money in cleaning them up

New US Bill to Require EPA to Examine Impact of Climate Change on Superfund Sites

US Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) introduced a bill to require the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to account for climate change risks, including natural disasters and extreme weather hazards, when managing toxic waste sites.

The legislation, Preparing Superfund for Climate Change Act of 2026, aims to strengthen protections for communities near Superfund sites—polluted locations that contain hazardous toxic waste and other contaminants harmful to public health. In 2018, the Carr Fire in Northern California burned over 300 square miles and swept over the Iron Mountain Mine Superfund site—finding its way into the pipes that convey acid mine drainage and threatening to release toxic chemicals to surrounding communities.

“With the ongoing and ever-worsening climate crisis, we must take strong action to mitigate the climate risks on Superfund sites across California and the country as more and more of these toxic sites become vulnerable to natural disasters. As the EPA manages and plans the cleanup of these sites, they must account for and recognize the impacts of climate change in order to protect the health and well-being of the public,” said Senator Schiff.

US Representatives Emanuel Cleaver, II (D-Mo.-5) and Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.-37) introduced companion legislation in the House.

This will go nowhere, at least as long as Republicans hold the House and Senate. Even if Democrats retake both, Trump will veto the legislation.

“As the climate crisis causes more and more extreme weather, we must ensure our communities have the resources they need to be resilient,” said Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove. “With 15 active EPA Superfund sites across LA County, climate-driven disasters like last year’s LA Fires threaten to upend pollution cleanup efforts that keep our neighbors safe. I’m proud to join Sen. Schiff and Rep. Cleaver in introducing this legislation that would better prepare us for climate disasters and help protect our communities from toxic waste.”

Reports this month from the EPA’s Office of Inspector General found that 100 of the nation’s most contaminated federal Superfund sites are in areas prone to flooding and wildfires. There is a total of 114 Superfund sites in California.

Why is California so polluted? Meanwhile

DeSantis signs bill on Earth Day reversing local climate change action

Governor Ron DeSantis signed a new law on Earth Day that blocks local governments from enacting policies to track how their emissions contribute to climate change.

“Floridians should not be forced to pay for radical climate agendas or identity politics with their hard-earned tax dollars,” DeSantis said.

Good. The law takes effect in July.

Unsurprising: 4 RINOs Help Dems Keep SAVE Act Out Of Funding Package

Can you imagine this happening if Democrats were trying to get something in their own budget package? Nope. They’d be bribing and cajoling, much like they did with Sinema and Manchin for Biden’s big green bill. How they got Obamacare passed

Republicans fail to attach SAVE America Act to party-line funding package

A cohort of Senate Republicans joined Democrats to sink a late-night attempt to attach a version of voter ID and citizenship verification legislation to the GOP’s bill funding federal immigration enforcement.

Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., all voted against a modified version of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act early Thursday morning.

Their defection came during the Senate’s marathon “vote-a-rama,” where lawmakers could force votes on any number of amendments, regardless of whether they mesh with the underlying budget blueprint.

The amendment’s 48-to-50 failure crystallized what several Republicans had warned for weeks before launching a quasi-floor takeover to debate the SAVE America Act last month — it didn’t have the support among the GOP to pass.

Tillis, who’s out at the end of 2026, used to be reliable, but, went full Squish over the past two years. Collins and Murkowski were expected. McConnell is always a hit or miss.

It appears the proposal was doomed even if Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., launched an oral filibuster to advance the measure with a simple 50-vote majority.

Thune didn’t seem to want to try and get it passed. He seriously could have bribed them to get their votes in the time honored manner of politics, but, no. He’s never pushed it hard despite a vast majority of Republicans wanting it, and a vast majority of Americans.

Trump Admin Causing Issues At World Bank And G7 Over Climate Crisis (scam)

It’s easy to talk about Resistance. Actually doing something?

US pressure puts World Bank’s climate plan at risk

With the World Bank’s key climate policy framework set to expire in June, closed-door negotiations between shareholders and the bank’s management over its successor have stalled, sources familiar with the discussions told Climate Home News.

This throws into doubt the future direction of the world’s largest provider of international climate funding to developing countries. Rajneesh Bhuee, just transition lead at campaigning group Recourse, said that scrapping the bank’s climate targets and markers would be “worrying”.

First introduced in 2021, the Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) has driven an expansion in the World Bank’s funding for emission-cutting projects and support for vulnerable communities dealing with the growing impacts of climate change.

The plan embedded climate considerations across the bank’s lending practices and committed it to directing a defined share of its annual budget – now 45% – to projects with climate benefits.

Sounds like a nice little slush fund full of waste and graft

That trajectory is now under threat. Since Donald Trump’s return to the White House, the US – the bank’s largest shareholder – has waged an aggressive campaign against its climate commitments.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on last week that the World Bank should abandon its “distortionary” climate finance target, claiming without evidence that it “undermines efforts to reduce poverty and spur economic growth”.

“We welcome the coming expiration of the Climate Change Action Plan, and upon its long-overdue expiration, expect the bank to immediately shift its myopic focus on climate,” he added in the statement issued during the World Bank’s Spring Meeting in Washington DC earlier this month.

Or, the US can stop giving them money.

G7 omits climate change from Paris talks to avoid US clash, France says

A meeting of G7 nations on the environment begins in Paris on Thursday but climate change has been left off the agenda to avoid a row with the United States.

The office of France’s ecology minister Monique Barbut said the two-day meeting would focus on “less contentious issues” in an effort to appease the largest and most powerful G7 member.

“We chose not to address the climate issue head-on … because the United States’ positions on this subject are well known,” the ministry said.

Why was time on complete bullshit?

Barbut’s office said attendees would discuss themes including ocean conservation, biodiversity funding and the transformation of dry areas into desert.

Those are worthy discussion. Real environmental issues which do not require the climate scam as part of the discussion.
