The United States House of Representatives passed a resolution in March 2019 in which appears the following text:

Whereas Muslims and people perceived to be Muslim are subjected to false and dangerous stereotypes and myths including unfair allegations that they sympathize with individuals who engage in violence or terror or support the oppression of women, Jews, and other vulnerable communities …

By passing that resolution, including the text cited above, the House of Representatives has established with painful clarity either that the members of the House are entirely ignorant with respect to the contents of the sacred texts of Islam, which clearly, repeatedly, and enthusiastically call for the hatred, discrimination, subjugation, terrorization, persecution, enslavement, rape, and mass murder of non-Muslims, or that the members of the House who voted to pass that resolution wish to deceive Americans with regard to the contents of those sacred texts.

The House of Representatives condemned Islamophobia.  This means that House members condemn superior moral values and condemn criticism of fascism; genocide; terrorism; and a long series of violent, perverse, barbaric atrocities and abominations.  Essentially, they condemn the traditional moral foundations of America, as well as of many other nations.  They condemn principles of the Constitution, of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, and of the Almighty God of Abraham.  And they condemn all American laws that criminalize all of the deranged, fascistic, and perverse practices authorized under Islamic law.  The House of Representatives has forfeited its last vestige of legitimacy, as a legislative body, of honor, and of sanity.

The resolution further states the following:

Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

(9) encourages all public officials to confront the reality of anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, racism, and other forms of bigotry, as well as historical struggles against them, to ensure that the United States will live up to the transcendent principles of tolerance, religious freedom, and equal protection as embodied in the Declaration of Independence andencourages all public officials to confront the reality of anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, racism, and other forms of bigotry, as well as historical struggles against them, to ensure that the United States will live up to the transcendent principles of tolerance, religious freedom, and equal protection as embodied in the Declaration of Independence and the first and 14th amendments to the Constitution.

The members of the House have encouraged all public officials to confront the “bigotry” of those who understand and openly declare that Islamofascism is an unlawful, barbaric abomination.  The members of the House have equated “Islamophobia,” the aversion to Islamic atrocities, with hatred of others based of their faith-based support of moral, ethical standards.  The members of the House have caused to be immortalized in print the tragic fact that they believe the vile lie that anyone has a right, acknowledged by America’s Constitution, to commit all of the crimes, perversions, and atrocities called for by Islamic law.

The members of the House have lost their collective mind.

But surely Americans can still look to their Senate to rescue Congress from the utter insanity of the House of Representatives.  Surely the Senate must confront the House to set it straight on its senseless, lawless expressions.  But alas, it is not so.

The fact is that the Senate and the House of Representatives are in full agreement in their insane expressions of disdain for truth, for American law, for the freedom to express truth, and for the lawful limits of their delegated power.

In fact, on April 5, 2017, all 100 United States senators voted to pass Senate Resolution 118, in which they defined as criminal anyone who displays any form of bias against Islam.  They also asked federal, state, and local law enforcement officials to investigate and bring charges against anyone who displays any form of bias against Islam.

The 100 senators and the majority of the members of the House have decided that their moral sense is greater than that of other Americans.  They have decided to grant themselves the power, not delegated to them by the Constitution, to determine that foreign laws that call for violation of American laws and egregious abuses against any non-Muslim are acceptable in America, as well as morally equivalent to American laws that classify the practices called for by Islamic law as criminal.  They have defied American laws, rights, values, and norms, and reality, and their oath to support and defend America’s Constitution.  They are daft.

Inasmuch as we live in an era that supports the bad guys over the good guys, it was inevitable that New York City police officer Daniel Pantaleo would end up being fired for doing his job during an arrest situation in which a black man died. It all began on July 17, 2014 during a routine police assignment.  About 3:30 P.M., Eric Garner, a 43-year-old black man, was approached by NYC cops as he was standing in front of a beauty supply store on Staten Island.  Acting on a complaint, the cops confronted Garner and accused him of selling untaxed cigarettes, a violation of New York State Law.  After telling him he was under arrest, officer Pantaleo tried to handcuff Garner, who was 6’2″ and weighed about 400 pounds.

Garner resisted the officers’ attempts to put the manacles on him, slapping their hands away.  It was then that Pantaleo placed his arm around Garner’s neck and tried to pull him to the ground.  The man was heard saying, “I can’t breathe” but continued to struggle.  According to cops on the scene, Garner lost consciousness.  An ambulance removed him to a hospital, and he was pronounced dead an hour later.  The NYC medical examiner found that death resulted from compression of the neck and chest during the physical restraint, adding that asthma, heart disease, and obesity were contributing factors.  There was no damage to the trachea (windpipe) or the neck bones.

Nevertheless, because NYC has a rule against cops using a chokehold during physical encounters, Pantaleo was put on desk duty and stripped of his service gun and his shield.  At a May 2019 hearing for Pantaleo, a medical examiner testified that his use of a prohibited chokehold on Garner “set into motion a lethal sequence” that led to a fatal asthma attack.  However, the examiner conceded that even “a bear hug” could have had the same effect as the chokehold, given that Garner weighed 395 pounds, suffered from asthma and diabetes, and had a heart twice the size of a healthy person’s heart.  In 2014, a grand jury declined to indict Pantaleo.  In addition, after a five-year federal civil rights investigation, no charges were brought against the officer.

None of that mattered to the race-hustlers who are always looking for another opportunity to divide the country and obtain more publicity (and money) for their hateful causes.  Something else that didn’t matter was the fact that Garner had been arrested by the NYPD more than thirty times since 1980 on charges such as assault, resisting arrest, grand larceny, and selling untaxed cigarettes.  In 2007, he filed a complaint in federal court accusing a cop of doing a cavity search on him during an arrest.  He told his legal aid lawyers that he intended to take all the cases against him to trial.  Why wouldn’t he?  Legal aid lawyers are paid for by the taxpayers, so it wouldn’t cost him a dime.  Incidentally, at the time of the incident that led to his death, he was out on bail for selling untaxed cigarettes, driving without a license, marijuana possession, and false impersonation.

How much of the aforementioned has been aired in the mainstream media?  According to those who never met a criminal they couldn’t love and embrace, Garner was nothing but a lovable teddy bear, a gentle giant with a heart of gold.  Pantaleo, on the other hand, was a savage brute who must have had racism on his mind when he viciously “murdered” a fine, upstanding black man.  Well, Al Sharpton and the rest of the race-hustlers have had another victory: Pantaleo was fired by NYC police commissioner James O’Neill.  He said he fired the officer based on a recent recommendation of a department disciplinary judge, adding that it was clear that Pantaleo “can no longer effectively serve as a New York City police officer.”  That’s liberal-speak for “there’s been so much controversy over this case that even the Democrat candidates running for president have called for his termination, and Mayor de Blasio assured his left wing base that ‘justice’ will be done.”

Pantaleo is just another sacrificial lamb in the left-wing plot to neutralize police and create anarchy on our streets.  As a result of incidents like this, how many cops will be more inclined to walk away from violent situations and let the criminals run wild?

During my 20 years as an NYC cop, I came across more than my share of tough guys who resisted arrest.  When that person is 6’2″ and 400 pounds, the cop knows his own life is on the line.  Do you know how hard it is to put handcuffs on a large man who tells you he’s not going without a fight?  Trust me: when that happens, the cop is about to be fighting for his life.  By the way, the cop can’t simply walk away from such defiance.  Moreover, he knows intuitively that someone who defies police authority is someone who is willing to kill you to avoid arrest.  That cop had better be prepared to do whatever it takes to fulfill every cop’s on-duty prayer: get back home alive!

Do Democrats really believe in the climate crisis they have dubbed an “emergency,” or is it really just a way to make a quick buck?

Beto O’Rourke has suggested spending $5 trillion over the next ten years investing in climate change initiatives primarily for “vulnerable communities.”  Not to be outdone, Kamala Harris was one of the co-sponsors for the “Green New Deal,” which proposes $700 billion a year in spending on a utopian garden future.  Bernie Sanders, also a loud supporter of the GND, proposes going even farther and banning any new developments that would require fossil fuels.  Cory Booker uses climate change to drum up fear, claiming with an re-introduced bill that the environment is racist (yeah, seriously), and although he hasn’t laid out any specific plans, he has insinuated possibly legislating veganism.

All in all, looking at just the remaining 2020 Democratic candidates’ proposals, the total amounts to $180,000,000,000,000 over a period of ten years, with climate change and health care–for-all mandates taking up the majority of this desired spending.  One hundred and eighty trillion dollars.  Just for perspective, that number is:

• More than half the combined wealth of all current wealth in the entire world ($241 trillion by this estimate).
• All of the stars in our galaxy multiplied by a giga, or ten to the ninth power.
• Astrophysicist Greg Laughlin came up with a formula that the Earth itself is worth around 4.25 quadrillion USD, and Democrats want to spend almost 5% of that just on a handful of their policies.

Climate change must really be ready to kill off everyone in 12 years, as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez keeps saying, or how else could Democrats justify spending this much?  While Democrats are eager to spend more money than Monopoly money–printers could ever print, if they really believe it to be such a crisis, why are they focused on America and not backing something as effective as military occupation of the world’s largest polluters: China and India?

Further, if we are to believe the hype around the climate crisis, why aren’t Democrats being the loudest about discouraging illegal immigration from countries with very low carbon emissions like Guatemala and El Salvador?  Democrats could easily argue that illegal immigration is bad for the environment when they know that migrants from undeveloped nations will increase their “carbon footprints” once in America.  If the climate is really the number-one threat to humanity, that should outweigh whatever Central Americans have going on that makes them want to escape their environmental paradises in the first place.

Alas, perhaps there’s another answer to Democrats’ incessant crying about climate change.  It all comes down to the green — green cash money that is.

Carbon credits are tradable certificates.  Each one allows the holder to emit one ton of carbon emissions.  This has created an extremely valuable market out of the polluted thin air for buying and selling these carbon credit permits.  The CCX (Chicago Climate Exchange) allows businesses, mutual funds, and other investment groups to trade these carbon credits and offsets like any other stock.  Interestingly, the public company that runs the CCX also runs the European Climate Exchange.  

More importantly, it’s not having any effect on actual total carbon emissions.  Undeveloped nations and businesses that are going green are selling their extra carbon credits to industry-rich nations and other heavily polluting businesses that have already burned through their own supply.

Following a hunch after taking in this must-read Forbes article, “Blood And Gore: Making A Killing On Anti-Carbon Investment Hype,” which outlines Al Gore’s immense wealth created from investing in climate credits, I looked to see if any other well known Democrats might have investments in this racket.  Very quickly, I learned that the Clinton Foundation has so many initiatives put forth by carbon credit investment groups (a count on the Clinton Foundation’s own webpage lists 39 pages of results) that the rabbit and ozone holes never really end.  A few of these investment groups have even been uncovered to be scams, like this one out of London that committed to the Clinton Foundation at least twice and then used that partnership to validate itself to the people it was scamming.  

The Democrats’ end-of-the-world prophecies regarding the climate crisis are a way to influence these carbon markets.  The more people value a carbon credit, the more it’s worth, like any other supply/demand model.  The more the credit is worth, the more the holders and hoarders of them make, my guess is, a lot of them are voting for the party that increases their value.
