‘Very aggressive’ homeless camp crackdown coming in August, mayor says. ( San Francisco )
San Francisco Standard | Jul. 18, 2024 | David Sjostedt

Pigs fly when a Democrat says:

Mayor London Breed said a “very aggressive” sweep of San Francisco homeless encampments will start in August, after a recent Supreme Court ruling cleared the path for widespread enforcement.

In June, the Supreme Court ruled that enforcing rules against homeless people for sleeping outside doesn’t violate the Eighth Amendment’s “cruel and unusual punishment” clause.

On Thursday, Breed celebrated the ruling and said the city plans to change its protocols and may begin issuing criminal penalties against homeless people.

And are again airborne when a Democrat adds:

“Thank goodness for the change in the Supreme Court decision,” Breed said at an election debate hosted by a local firefighter’s union. “Effective August, we are going to be very aggressive and assertive in moving encampments, which may even include criminal penalties.”

A spokesperson for the Mayor’s Office said a more comprehensive plan will be available in late July or early August.

“San Francisco is a city that prioritizes compassion and we will continue to lead with services but we cannot allow for people to refuse services and shelter when offered and available,” a statement from the Mayor’s Office said. “Our goal is to bring people indoors — camping or living on our streets isn’t safe for our community, residents and people in need of support.”

…

U.S. Magistrate Judge Donna M. Ryu issued an injunction in December 2022 restricting the city’s ability to enforce anti-camping laws. However, after the Supreme Court’s decision, the court order barring anti-camping enforcement was overturned. The city is still prohibited from seizing and destroying people’s property during encampment sweeps.

So they safeguard the property in storage units? Can the homeless join their property there?

Breed addressed the critics at Thursday’s debate, saying San Francisco is moving “from a compassionate city to a city of accountability.”

No freaking way! Ever.

City attorney spokesperson Alex Barrett-Shorter said the partial lifting of the injunction will take effect sometime in the next few weeks, giving the city more flexibility to address encampments.

Barretta-Shooter’s right!

 

So That’s Another $45 Million for the Big Guy?

Wait! I have any number of plans you can fund and cancel! Over here!

After Spending $450 Million, NASA Scraps Moon Rover
The Epoch Times | July 18, 2024 | Bill Pan

NASA has canceled its plan to land a robotic rover on the Moon to search for ice and other potential resources, after spending $450 million.

The plan involved landing what is dubbed the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, or VIPER, near the lunar South Pole, which scientists suspect may harbor ice.

It was planned for the mobile robot to spend 100 days scouting the area for ice deposits and producing a first-ever resource map, which NASA said was critical for its future Artemis missions to establish a long-term human presence on the Moon’s surface.

The decision to axe the VIPER project was announced on July 17 at a press call [after the assassination attempt on Trump failed], with the space agency citing increased costs, delayed launch dates, and worries that future cost hikes could threaten its multi-billion-dollar program to hire private companies to deliver scientific instruments to the Moon. The VIPER was initially planned to be launched in late 2023 aboard a lander provided by Astrobotic Technology, but in 2022, NASA pushed the schedule back to late 2024 to provide more time for testing, the agency said. Since then, additional schedule and supply chain delays further pushed VIPER’s readiness date to September 2025.

In terms of costs, NASA said it has so far spent about $450 million on the program. Discontinuing VIPER is expected to save the agency at least $84 million in development and additional operational costs.

NASA officials stressed that the cancellation was due to a budgetary issue, not a technological one.

If the Bill of Rights doesn’t apply to 7-year-olds, can 7-year-olds be enslaved?

California teachers were right to severely punish girl, 7, for writing these words under Black Lives Matter drawing she gave to friend, judge rules
Daily Mail | 18 July 2024 | Germania Rodriguez Poleo

A California judge has ruled that teachers were right to punish a seven-year-old girl over a Black Lives Matter drawing because ‘she’s too young to have First Amendment rights.’

The first grader was banned from recess and drawing pictures at Viejo Elementary in Orange County after she added the words ‘any life’ below Black Lives Matter on a picture she drew and and gave to a black friend.

The picture showed the words ‘Black Lives Matter’ with four round shapes in various different tones of brown, beige and yellow, which was intended to ‘represent her friends’ who were ‘racially-mixed’.

…

This prompted principal Jesus Becerra to tell B.B. the drawing was inappropriate and racist. He then punished B.B. by making her publicly apologize on the playground to her classmates and teachers. B.B. was also banned from recess and from drawing pictures for two weeks.

They inflicted cruel and unusual punishment on her, so I guess she’s too young to have Eighth Amendment rights also.

King’s Speech: PM Starmer Tells Public to Reject ‘Snake Oil’ Populism, Lays Out Leftist Agenda for Britain
Breitbart | 07/17/2024 | Kurt Zindulka

Britain’s new prime minister has called on the public to reject the “snake oil charm of populism” as King Charles III outlined the Labour government’s legislative agenda for the coming year, which will include a push to fully ban tobacco, a doubling down on the green agenda, an attempt to “reset” relations with the EU and to advocate for Palestinian statehood.

 

Straight Line of the Day: After Building Barriers Around Glaciers, Scientists…

To avoid sea level rise, some researchers want to build barriers around the world’s most vulnerable glaciers
Science Adviser | 12/7/24 | Hannah Richter

Over the past few decades, earth scientists have grappled with the concept of solar geoengineering: cooling the rapidly warming planet by injecting particles high into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, for example. Now, researchers are proposing a new way to battle the effects of climate change that could prove even more costly and controversial: glacial geoengineering, designed to slow sea level rise.

A white paper, released on 11 July by glaciologists who conducted a series of workshops and town halls over the course of 10 months, calls for boosting research into daring plans that would protect vulnerable ice sheets by building flexible barriers around them or drilling deep into them to slow their slippage into the sea.

But these untested ideas are stirring up a backlash among glaciologists, some of whom view them not only as outlandishly expensive and logistically flawed but also as a distraction from the problem of reducing greenhouse gas emissions…..
