Burps

 

Eliminating animal agriculture over the next 15 years would effectively stop global warming in its tracks - largely halting the increase of greenhouse gases for the next 30 years, according to a recent study in PLOS Climate.

The largest contributor to that decrease in heating would be a massive expansion in prairie, forest and grassland, like cattle-raising, said co-author Patrick Brown, a Stanford biochemistry professor.

These are more significant problems, molecule for molecule, than the carbon dioxide released from tailpilpes and smokestacks. Methane - released from cow burps and hog waste pits - warms the atmosphere between 25 and 80 times more intensely than carbon dioxide, which it gradually degrades.

Nitrous oxide is even worse, rising from manure pits and fertilizer to the atmosphere, where it's heating effect is about 260 times as much as carbon, according to the IPC.  Just a thought.

Justice..

 

Bragg’s “Day One” memorandum said the district attorney’s office would not prosecute fare beating, resisting arrest and other nonviolent crimes in an attempt to decriminalize poverty and mental illness and balance fairness and safety.

It also said prosecutors should treat armed robbery in commercial settings as misdemeanor petit larceny if there is no genuine risk of physical harm and disallowed bail conditions for pre-trial cases except for "very serious cases." The policies, he wrote, "will make us safer."

Police Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch said Bragg’s plan sends the wrong message.

“Police officers don’t want to be sent out to enforce laws that the district attorneys won’t prosecute,” he said. “And there are already too many people who believe that they can commit crimes, resist arrest, interfere with police officers and face zero consequences.”

 This is the New Democratic party fairness and safety.

New York City is experiencing a violent crime surge that’s evolved into a gun violence crisis. Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently announced the declaration of a disaster emergency on gun violence, making New York the first state in the nation to do so.

NYPD Commissioner Dermot F. Shea says the spike in gun violence didn’t come out of nowhere.

High-profile shootings have exacerbated the issue: the fatal shooting of a Queens boy just days before his 11th birthday, a 4-year-old girl injured by gunfire in Times Square, a Capital Region Marine struck by a bullet just weeks later in the Crossroads of the World, and a series of other brazen shootings—many involving teenagers. In addition to the killing of two officers recently.

New York State has the most restricted gun control in the Country and that's what we got. What is the reason for that? 

What about other States in the Union that permits owning guns? Do they have the same issues. And why?  Just a thought.

Suspended..

 

Ilya Shapiro, a recently hired administrator at Georgetown University Law Center and a prominent libertarian, has been suspended by the university after he tweeted that President Biden was not going to nominate "the objectively best pick" but a "lesser Black woman" to be the next Supreme Court justice, according to The New York Times.

"Objectively best pick for Biden is Sri Srinivasan, who is solid prog & v smart," Mr. Shapiro tweeted. "Even has identity politics benefit of being first Asian (Indian) American. But alas doesn't fit into latest intersectionality hierarchy so we'll get lesser black woman. Thank heaven for small favors?"

Sri Srinivasan is the Indian-born chief judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

Shapiro issued an apology Friday for his "poor choice of words" on Twitter.

Last..

 

"Last night at my direction, US military forces in northwest Syria successfully undertook a counterterrorism operation to protect the American people and our Allies, and make the world a safer place," Biden said in a statement. 

What "American people" you meant?
Who are our Allies in the area?
How long will we stay in Syria without legitimate reason?
How long can we justify an unjust presence?

Killing people in Syria and destroy the country is not our Social Justice we are asking for.
Make the world a safer place in Syria, but not for the Syrian people?  Just a thought.
