Rewilding, Beto’s latest flop, Failing bridges, Spygate, Windows fixes, Russian Beluga whale, and more good stuff for April 29, 2019


Rewilding. Correcting Man’s Mistakes
We cut down forests and churn up the soil to plant our crops or build human habitations. The life that lived there either goes away or dies.
Is there a solution?
The definition of rewilding has shifted over the years. Generally, though, it involves humans essentially backing off from an area and letting it do its thing. Chernobyl is probably the most well-known example of rewilding. Once humans abandoned the area due to the devastation of the 1986 nuclear blast and resulting radiation, the ecosystem slowly rebalanced itself. Now, even though the effects of the radiation linger, flora and fauna are thriving; the area even boasts rare and endangered species.
Though the rewilding gold standard is to have as little human involvement as possible, other variations of the practice call for us guiding things a little bit. Sometimes, this means breaking down humanmade barriers, like dams, and letting an area revert back to its natural state. Other times, experts might have to give things more of a jump start, reintroducing species that once flourished in a region. And if those once-present species have gone extinct, researchers will sometimes use the next-best species, introducing it in the original’s place.
This isn’t just a deal for “green freaks” but for all of us. Healthy lands provide healthy places for us to regain our humanity – and health.

Rep Cummings Refuses to Let Witness have an Attorney
Another one of the legions of Dimocraps who are destroying the very basis of the House of Representatives and its constitutional foundation.
The Constitution of the United States is chock full of guarantees to the right to counsel. The Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments address right to legal representation at the local, state and federal levels.
One certainly doesn’t have to be a Constitutional lawyer to understand that Congressional hearings certainly have all the trappings of a trial. From the words hearings to subpoenas to contempt of Congress, it’s a good bet that you’d better have a lawyer present if you’re ever called upon to testify (another nifty judicial term).
From the raising of your right hand, to the final pounding of the gavel, the witness best not tell fibs… lying to Congress is a federal offense.
With all this useful information now at your fingertips, any person with a lick of common sense would deduct that not only the need, but the absolute right to legal representation.
But don’t tell Cummings this!
In keeping with longstanding Department of Justice policy, neither Mr. Gore nor anyone else in the Department will be forced to testify in their capacity as a DOJ official on DOJ matters without DOJ counsel,” said Kerri Kupec, a department spokesperson.
So how did Cumming respond?
This is a massive, unprecedented, and growing pattern of obstruction,” he said. “Yesterday, President Trump declared to the entire country that he would obstruct Congress and order all White House officials to defy lawful subpoenas from Congress. Today, the Trump Administration went even further by expanding this policy to employees at federal agencies—even when the subpoenas are bipartisan and supported by Republican Members of Congress.”

A Beluga Whale is a “Russian Asset”?
I don’t know whether this is for real or not. In any case, it should bring a smile to a lot of faces.
Will we now order our naval units to loose their marine assets?
A beluga whale harassing Norwegian fishing boats in the Arctic Circle bears signs of being a Russian Navy asset, marine scientists say.
The white whale had been biting fishing nets and headbutting boats off the island of Ingøya for several weeks.
On Thursday scientists lured it close with cod fillets and cut off the harness, which said "Equipment of St. Petersburg" on it.
Scientists from the Institute of Marine Research in Norway and the Arctic University of Norway told media the whale is most likely part of the Russian Navy.
Militaries in Russia, Ukraine, and the US have all used marine animals before.

Pope Francis donates $500,000 to migrants at U.S. border
Funds will be distributed between 27 projects associated with 16 Mexican dioceses, congregations
Well, are all you Roman Catholics happy now. You’re helping to fund the invasion of the United States.
And he’s finally coming out in the open about it.

Beto’s Latest Campaign Rally
35 people!
At the University of Las Vegas, Nevada
I never saw one mention of his coming here on local TV. Not one.
Around 35 people here to see Beto O’Rourke at UNLV,” Emma Kinery, a Bloomberg reporter tweeted. “The rally was supposed to be held in the courtyard outside, but students told me no one is on campus on Fridays bc it’s mainly a commuter school.”

Australians killing millions of feral cats
A 2017 study published in the journal Biological Conservation found that cats in Australia are estimated to kill 377 million birds and 649 reptiles every year, the Independent reported.
Before everyone gets their britches in an uproar, this is a problem found throughout the world. Humans bring species to areas where they become a serious thread to the local fauna. Islands are particularly susceptible and cats seem to be the most serious threat. Here in the USA, wild hogs are an example; another species brought from Europe. That and huge snakes in our southern swamps.
Feral cats are a nationally significant pest that threaten our unique native fauna. While recognizing the important role of domestic cats as companion animals, domestic and stray cats may also threaten native fauna,” the Australian National Declaration said, in part.
Ministers also agreed that the management of feral cats will be considered a priority in threatened species recovery programs,” the declaration added.

In 2020, can California GOP retake seats lost in 2018?
This article brought my attention. I had not realized this debacle occurred in 2018. Orange County has always been conservative/GOP for as long as I can remember. What the heck happened?
According to Wiki:
The racial makeup of Orange County was 1,830,758 (60.8%) White (44.0% non-Hispanic white), 50,744 (1.7%) African American, 18,132 (0.6%) Native American, 537,804 (17.9%) Asian, 9,354 (0.3%) Pacific Islander, 435,641 (14.5%) from other races, and 127,799 (4.2%) from two or more races.
Since when did so many blacks move into the area?
Finally, following accusations of voting irregularities in key races in several states (including California), the RNC approved a major new working group to focus on ballot security measures and support for candidates facing election challenges.
A federal court consent decree, ended last year, had prohibited the RNC from engaging in ballot security activities for nearly 40 years. The aggressive new step, Fox News is told, is meant to level the playing field with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) as close elections increasingly become litigious and, in turn, bring discord, division and fiery talking points.
In California, where Republicans suffered major defeats in the fall, Democrats changed the law to permit “ballot harvesting” — letting campaign operatives take residents’ ballots to the polls on their behalf.
As usual, if the Dims can’t win the right way, they do whatever they can whether or not it’s unethical or illegal.

Indonesia election: More than 270 election staff die counting votes
Few know where this country is. And even fewer have any idea of how huge a population it has, the majority of them Muslim.
So, why is this of interest to us Americans?
Check this out for yourselves.
Arief Priyo Susanto, spokesman of the General Elections Commission (KPU), said 1,878 other staff had fallen ill.
Some seven million people were helping count and monitor the 17 April vote.
Staff were expected to work through the night in sweltering conditions, which took a hefty physical toll on many.
The elections were the first time the country of 260 million people combined the presidential vote with national and regional parliamentary ballots, in order to save money.
Around 80% of the 193 million eligible voters cast their votes in more than 800,000 polling stations.
It’s not just the numbers but the vast distances and isolation involved. In addition, all counting is done by hand!

Our Bridges are Failing
I’ve posted this before and the President has talked about, promising to try to get a package through Congress to fix this as part of his Infrastructure Initiative.
Our 2018 budget included $55.9 billion in foreign aid.
Just a small percentage of that could go a long way to fixing things.
There are 614,000 bridges in the U.S., and nearly 1-in-10 of them is falling apart. When Eisenhower signed the 1956 Federal-Aid Highway Act, estab­lishing a 41,000-mile system of roads and bridges, there was roughly one car for every three people. Today, it’s almost 1-to-1. This influx of vehicles, plus shoddy maintenance, has taxed spans to the brink of collapse. This bridge is the sum of our worst missteps, and how to make them right.
And this article proposes some truly great ideas on how to fix and replace these structures.

Russia’s diamond titan Alrosa recovers giant gem-quality stone in Far North
I never heard of this place before finding this article. I always thought the biggest was the Kimberly Mine in South Africa.
How many know that we have people finding diamonds in Arkansas?
The world’s largest diamond miner by volume, Russia’s Alrosa, has revealed a huge light yellow rough diamond weighing almost 118.91 carats at its deposit in the northeastern region of Yakutia.
The precious stone, unearthed earlier this month, is the biggest discovery among the gemstone-quality diamonds at the company’s ‘International’ mine over the past two years. A similar 109.61 carat gem was extracted at the same deposit in the summer of 2017.
The latest discovery is nearly a perfect example of a light yellow rough diamond, which has “salient edges, one of them with cleavage, and small inclusions in the central zone,” according to Alrosa’s press-release.
I tried to copy and paste a picture of the mine but the urls are horrendous.

Spygate. Will the leaders escape Justice?
Everyone, including the president, loves to use the word “coup.” (Not the car model) So, let’s make that clear.
A group of people in the Washington, D.C. offices of the DOJ and FBI saw Donald Trump as a threat to their agendas. The last thing they wanted to see was him to be elected president.
And, when he was, they did their best to find ways to unseat him. To override the will of the American people!
Nobody doubts this. There’s lots of proof.
If the special counsel uncritically accepted Russian interference as established fact, or worse, deferred to the CIA—which would bring us back to Five Eyes and British intelligence—surely its conclusion is an expensive example of circular reasoning not worth the paper it’s printed on.
Unfortunately, Trump’s second attorney general, who is today’s hero for ending the collusion hoax, has given the conspirators sanctuary on Russian interference by praising their efforts to uncover the plot that wasn’t.
As always with Trump, there is hope.
Maybe Julian Assange can come and tell us what really happened. Oh yeah, I forgot—he was taken into British custody a few days before Mueller’s report was released. Can’t wait for that extradition battle.
So the Brits and Ruskies are really to blame?
Does that mean all the leaders will go free?
Most likely they will end up getting little more than slaps on the wrist.

A cross between a car and a rubber duck’
Oh Lord above. Here we go again. Don’t these people ever stop this insanity?
Is it a boat? Is it a car? Actually, it’s the best of both – an amphibious vehicle. It’s the ideal solution for anyone who fancies driving to the coast and then… well, motoring out to sea. For the past 50 years, Tim Dutton has been at the helm of his eponymous firm. He started out in 1969 and is justly proud of the fact Dutton is the oldest car company in the world still wholly owned by its founder. He is based in a workshop in the pretty village of Littlehampton where he has his own slipway into the River Arun. Visitors can take a Surf out for a test drive/cruise. You won’t be surprised to hear that owning a dinky Dutton is a niche interest – Tim sells about a dozen a year. Most drivers/captains just want to have fun – who wouldn’t in a vehicle that looks like a cross between a sports car and a rubber duck? – but there are more serious applications, too. Tim’s sold some to the military, and sailors love them as they can simply drive straight out to their yacht’s mooring. If you want to see one of these floating cars – and congratulate Tim on his half-century in the business – he’ll be at National Kit Car Show next weekend and at the Southampton Boat Show in September.
So, what am I moaning about?
This Amphicar was put on the market in 1971. And, like this probably will, it was a total sales flop. And, while I didn’t scan more, I clearly remember similar gimmick cars in the early 50s.

Canada Importing Oil from Saudi Arabia
Why on earth aren’t they getting it from us?
The chasm between our two countries continues to amaze me.
How often do we see news from Canada on our media?
Other than Private Eyes, do we see Canadian TV shows here? (I enjoy it a lot.)
The total volume of Canadian imports from Saudi Arabia has increased by 66 per cent since 2014, with imports rising every year during that period.
Last year, Canadian companies spent $3.54 billion importing 6.4 million cubic metres of Saudi oil, up from 5.9 million cubic metres worth $2.5 billion in 2017, before the dispute started in August 2018.
And parts of Canada are suffering from major flooding.

I Was an...Addict’
Watching him laughing and smiling as he pushes his line of pillows, sheets, and comforters, it’s hard to believe he was once suffering in the depth of crack cocaine addiction.
He was so bad, in fact, that his drug dealers staged an intervention in 2008 and refused to sell to him. They cut him off, and a year later he was done using.
I got freed of all of my addictions January 16, 2009, but at that point I didn’t do a full surrender to Jesus,” he said. “I didn’t give a full surrender until February 18, 2017, so there’s quite a story in between where God was still chasing me.”

7 tools for fixing Windows problems
I’m not much of a computer techie so I have to rely on pieces like this. Kim Komando has always been a reliable source of computer info. It’s clearly worth your time to check this out and see if something on the list will help your computer.
Months go by, and Windows works. Then, out of nowhere, your computer slows down. Files don’t open right away. Programs freeze or shut down. Your system probably needs some TLC, but what should you do?
You struggle to pinpoint the exact problem when Windows gets fidgety. It could be internet issues or unknown malware, or – it happens too often – an irrelevant program is performing complex background tasks.
The 7 items are:

What kind of childhood is this?
They know nothing but war.
What kind of toys are these to play with?
Anti-tank and anti-personnel mines beyond belief.
They live in mud huts with no running water or electricity. Most have no schooling beyond Muslim places and girls get little or no education.
So, what the hell has our presence there done for these kids?

Planet of the Apes becomes reality?
Scientific curiosity often leads to amazing results.
But, this is not only ridiculous, it’s disgusting.
Chinese scientists implant human genes into monkeys to make them “smarter”
Frankenscientists” hailing from the communist “paradise” of China have successfully inserted human brain genes into live monkeys, creating a real life “Planet of the Apes” scenario with the world’s first half-human, half-ape hybrid being.
So the experiment was a success?
Yeah,

TV Shows to Drop or Keep, President Trump Fighting Back, Shanahan Cleared, Washing a C-130, Amazing WD40 and more for April 27, 2019



INSANE! 2020 election conspiracy uncovered
Okay, here’s your conspiracy theory for the day.
It all circulates around a shadowy group called The Institute for Policy Studies.
Really looks harmless when one clicks on it. But, Wiki and other sites have a different view of it.
Wiki: In his book The KGB and Soviet Disinformation: An Insider's View Ladislav Bittman, a former Státní bezpečnost[29] agent who worked in misinformation operations, claimed that the IPS was part of the Soviet intelligence network.[30][31] Bittman argued that IPS was one of the several liberal think tanks that acted as pro-Soviet propaganda agencies.[32]
MediaBias/FactCheck claims it’s an extremely far-left group @ https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/institute-policy-studies/
The Heritage Foundation also says; The-Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) is an avowedly radical organization formed in 1963 by Richard J. Barnet and Marcus G. Raskin, both of whom had backgrounds of government employment. Barnet had worked for the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, while Raskin had worked for several members of Congress and for the National Security Council. Along with Barnet and Raskin, the most prominent IPS figure has probably been Resident IPS Fellow Arthur I. Waskow, who served at one time as a legislative assistant to Congressman Robert Kastenmeier of Wisconsin. All three have also been noticeably active in radical movements, , including the anti-Vi6tnam war-movement; Barnet traveled to Com- munist North Vietnam during the war, and both Barnet and Raskin were reported to have had contact with representatives of the Communist government of Hanoi in Paris during-the same period.
Why is all this important?
Some of the most important figures in the Democratic Party are tied to an anti-American, Soviet propaganda front — but chances are you’ve never heard of it from the mainstream media.
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders… they’re all on board. Together, they’re conspiring to hijack America’s future by controlling the 2020 election.
Their secret relationship came out of the shadows this week, after Democratic presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand signed onto a new racial wealth redistribution plan the group drew up.
Gillibrand threw her support behind a report on “Ten Solutions To Bridge the Racial Wealth Divide” written by the Institute for Policy Studies.
The plan calls for slavery reparations, giving money to every American baby at birth, guaranteeing everyone a job, and adopting Medicare to all. You’ve heard the same things from other top 2020 Democrats — and their far-Left plan isn’t as extreme as the group behind it.
Bernie Sanders wants Islamic TERRORISTS to vote!? @ https://thehornnews.com/bernie-sanders-wants-terrorists-to-what-disgusting/
All part of the agenda

What TV shows do you want to save or drop?
I don’t know if this will really help but it’s at least a chance for you to add your 2 cents.

President Trump is Fighting Back Against House Subpoenas
Good for him! If he lets the witch hunt go unanswered, he’s bowing to the radical left and their amazingly hatred-filled stooges.
Trump’s comments came as the White House made it clear that it plans to broadly defy requests for information from Capitol Hill, moving the two branches of government closer to a constitutional collision.
On Tuesday, two White House officials said the administration plans to fight a subpoena issued by the House Judiciary Committee for former White House counsel Donald McGahn by asserting executive privilege over his testimony.
Separately, the administration directed a former White House official not to comply with a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee, prompting the panel to move to hold him in contempt. And the Treasury Department defied a second demand from House Democrats to turn over six years of President Trump’s tax returns.

American soldiers at the border followed the rules
So Mexican soldiers took one of their pistols and put it in the Border Patrol vehicle they were driving.
As Newsweek reported it, one of the Mexican troops removed the sidearm carried by one of the Americans — and placed the weapon in the CBP vehicle.
U.S. Northern Command issued a statement, saying that “after a brief discussion between the soldiers from the two nations, the Mexican military members departed the area. The U.S. soldiers immediately contacted CBP, who responded quickly. Throughout the incident, the U.S. soldiers followed all established procedures and protocols.”
According to the Rules of Engagement, the US soldiers did exactly as they were told to do!

Ocasio-Cortez woke up to VERY bad news Tuesday (DEEP TROUBLE!)
She just can’t keep her yap shut.
And she’s going to be paying for it the next time she runs for office.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., is just four months into her first term in office, and there’s already a line of people forming that want to challenge her in the 2020 election.
And they’re getting millions of dollars in support.
And a “mysterious millionaire, “worth over $200 million,” has her in his cross-hairs and is recruiting others to ensure she quickly goes back to tending bar. [Wonder if she’s learned any new drinks during her time inside the Beltway?]
Just 33 percent of 14th district voters support her decision to drive out Amazon’s planned second headquarters from New York City. Only 41 percent of her constituents back her $93 trillion Green New Deal spending bill.
They come up with just one decent opponent and she’s packing her bags.

Here’s a list of all of the Islamic groups who hate Christians and Jews
I’m sure this is going to create a storm on the Left but it’s something every American needs to be aware of.
Thanks to the Imam of Peace, Imam Mohamad Tawhidi, a list of Islamic groups who hate Jews and Christians worldwide has been recorded and produced on social media. This list is in addition to other groups registered as non-profit groups still operating in the U.S.
This list includes 138 groups and where they’re located.
He’s excluded CAIR– the Council on American Islamic Relations, which was designated as a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates.
CAIR is about the most dangerous of all as it’s here in the USA and tries its best to hide its affiliation with many of the groups listed.

Recent Terrorist Attacks
We get all sorts of news about Notre Dame and Sri Lanka, but what about he rest?
Here are recaps:

Things You Don’t Need to Put in the Fridge
Okay, another annoying Yahoo piece where you have to click on page after page.
But, it’s worth the time.
It will not only save your foods but your money.
Here are just a few highlight and I recommend you take the time to go through the whole thing.
Apples [I’ve always kept mine there]
Ketchup, mustard, soy sauce
Most tropical fruits and citrus fruits too, melons
Carrots, potatoes, unused onions, garlic, cucumbers, pickles, tomatoes[!]
Eggs
Honey, and preserves [Jams and Jelleys]
Hot sauces and chili peppers
Peanut butter

Report Clears Acting D-Sec. Shanahan of Ethics Violations
Damn! Another Trump administration official exonerated. What’s going on here?
Haven’t heard anything out of the Left demanding he step down and wonder how he’ll fare at Senate confirmation hearings?
Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan "fully complied with his ethics agreements and his ethical obligations," according to the Pentagon's watchdog review of potentially favoring Boeing, The Washington Post reported.
"While Shanahan did routinely refer to his prior industry experience in meetings, witnesses interpreted it, and told us, that he was doing it to describe his experience and to improve government management of DoD programs, rather than to promote Boeing or its products," the probe concluded, according to the Post.
The investigation exoneration of the former Boeing employee and acting defense secretary opens the door for President Donald Trump to officially nominate Shanahan as the official secretary of defense, replacing the resigned James Mattis.

Disaffected Venezuelan Military Tell of Rising Desertions to Brazil
Just how long can Maduro cling to power? Will China or Russia move troops in to prop him up?
Things are gonna get nasty before this is over.
Venezuelan military personnel are deserting to Colombia and Brazil in growing numbers, refusing to follow orders to repress protests against the government of President Nicolas Maduro, six of them told Reuters.
A lieutenant and five sergeants of the National Guard, the main force used by the Maduro government to suppress widespread demonstrations, said the bulk were going to Colombia, the most accessible border, but others like themselves had left for Brazil.
Colombian immigration authorities said some 1,400 Venezuelan military had deserted for Colombia this year, while the Brazilian Army said over 60 members of Venezuela's armed forces had emigrated to Brazil since Maduro closed the border on Feb. 23 to block an opposition effort to get humanitarian aid into the country.

You Think Washing Your Car is Tough?
Trying washing one of these!
How about a Huey? Or an Osprey.
Here’s how they do it:
Keeping those Super Hercules clean is a 1½-daylong job. Starting in the early morning hours, mid-shift airmen prepare the massive aircraft for its cleanup. The maintainers responsible for prepping the birds said safety is their first priority.
They lower the wing flaps, remove access panels and disconnect the batteries, among other precautions.
We have to deactivate certain systems to prevent shock and crush hazards to make the aircraft safe to wash,” Staff Sgt. Alexander Young said.
And, of course, the newbies get to do it. But, in Japan, they use contractors.

Court Finds Marking Tires of Parked Cars Unconstitutional
Does this mean a whole lot of parking tickets are going to be overturned? And will municipalities have to pay back the fines?
This could be a disaster for some.
A federal appeals court has ruled a police practice of chalking tires to determine whether a vehicle overstays a given time limit on a parking space is unconstitutional, The New York Times is reporting.
The enforcement practice is in violation of the Fourth Amendment’s ban on unreasonable searches and seizures.
The Times reported it was unclear what will happen now as a result of the ruling by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. The court’s decision is binding in only the four states covered by the court – Ohio, Michigan, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
Meanwhile, the Downtown Development Authority in Bay City, Michigan announced that it will no longer order the chalking of car tires.

Trump Confirms to Hannity He Will Declassify Carter Page FISA Docs, ‘Everything is Going to Be Declassified… and Much More’
Oh is that going to be fun! The media will go nuts trying to cover everything up and Dims will flood the courts with suits aimed at stopping it.
Yes. Everything is gonna be declassified and more — much more than what you just mentioned — it will all be declassified,” Trump said, adding, “And I’m glad I waited because I thought that maybe they would obstruct if I did it early and I think I was right, so I’m glad I waited and now the Attorney General can take a very strong look at whatever it is.
Trump hinted last Friday that a storm is coming when he tweeted, “It is now finally time to turn the tables and bring justice to some very sick and dangerous people who have committed very serious crimes, perhaps even Spying or Treason. This should never happen again!
Trump’s timing is impeccable — he waited patiently until he had a real Attorney General to declassify the FISA docs.
Trump is right. If he declassified the docs while Rosenstein and Mueller were in charge of the Justice Department, they would have obstructed at every turn.

Amazing things to do with WD40
And here comes another.
Of course it’s an ad. But, it does convince me that I’m going to do my best to keep a can of this stuff around all the time.
Here are some of them:
Cleaning the toilet
Cleaning your sneakers.
Unsticking zippers
Keeping squirrels away from bird feeders
Removing finger rings
Removing crayon
Clean and protect golf clubs
Removing gum from the soles of your shoes and out of your hair
Cleaning your license plate
Maintaining leather items
Cleaning your grill
Repelling and killing insects
Removing blood, grease, and ink stains from clothes
I know this is an ad but there are far too many truly awesome uses to pass this by

Senator Warren introduces military housing bill to boost inspections, transparency
Good Lord above! Every once in a blue moon, the Lefty Dims actually come up with something that not only makes sense but serve a good purpose.
This is definitely one of them.
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Senator Elizabeth Warren will introduce a bill Friday that offers new protections for U.S. military families facing unsafe housing, following a series of Reuters reports revealing squalid conditions in privately managed base homes.
The Reuters reports and later Congressional hearings detailed widespread hazards including lead paint exposure, vermin infestations, collapsing ceilings, mold and maintenance lapses in privatized base housing communities that serve some 700,000 U.S. military family members.
(View Warren’s military housing bill here. https://tmsnrt.rs/2Dy5aht)
I’ve been reading lots of stories about the abhorrent condition of housing for service members of all branches and in places here at home and overseas.
This is something GOP members from both houses must get behind.

New York City Law Bans Hot Dogs To Stop Climate Change
I saw clips of de Blasio bragging about how good the dogs were at Coney Island. What suddenly changed his mind?
New York City’s new law will ban hot dogs to help with climate change.
Mayor Bill de Blasio just signed into law New York City’s version of the “Green New Deal.”
Part of the law requires New York City officials to teach New Yorkers how to make healthy, environmentally conscious food choices by banning “problematic” items such as hot dogs from city menus.
The NYC Green New Deal “will cut purchases of red meat by 50 percent in its city-controlled facilities such as hospitals, schools, and correctional facilities.”
The Green New Deal also looks to make New York City “car-free” by 2050.

After Numerous Attacks Against Christians, Portland Police Sends Extra Patrols To Protect Islamic Mosques
At what point does progressism reach its limits of ignorance?
This is also in light of the likely hoax reports being made around Portland, where paranoid social justice wackjobs are making up new stories every week about how nazi white supremacists are lurking around every corner and assaulting transgender and black folks.
