Talking with a friend today. Falls into that group no fucks given. No care or though on lost freedoms or pending lost free speech. Good guy just wants to stay in that sheltered nest.

James Caspian wanted to write a thesis on "detransition" as part of his master's degree in counselling and psychotherapy at Bath Spa University.

He said it was rejected by the university's ethics committee because it could be "politically incorrect".

 

This one comes with a do not click advisory. Reading the bible in Saudi Arabia will get you punished it is graphic pictures of what happens.   --this is what the liberal are courting for us in the west. Lost freedom. Some will not see it until the man is at the door and the hammer comes down on them.

California yes!!!!

 

Charging forward: California looks to phase out gas-powered vehicles

 

New goal: 40% of cars on CA roads are electric within 13 years

 

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —

California is looking to set up new rules for the road that will change the way we drive.

 

The California Air Resources Board is considering new mandates to dramatically increase the number of electric cars, while phasing out vehicles that use gasoline or diesel fuel.

 

Gov. Jerry Brown’s gas tax will raise prices by 12 cents a gallon for gasoline starting Nov. 1. That price hike seems to make electric vehicles more attractive to buyers if they can find a charging station.

 

“We really need to push to think about the environment,” Sacramento driver Pamela Gifford said. “And what we need to do as a human species is take control over how we affect the planet.”

 

“It's our planet, man," driver Angel Lopes said. "I mean, not to sound like a hippie, but what are you going to do if that's safer for everybody. Then I'm all for phasing out gas.”

Dianne Feinstein's husband wins near-billion dollar California 'high speed rail' contract

 

To the surprise of absolutely no one familiar with the ways of Corruptifornia, the one-party state completely in the hands of the Democrats, a consortium whose lead firm is controlled by Richard Blum, husband of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, was awarded a nearly billion-dollar contract for the construction of the first phase of the so-called high-speed rail line to link San Francisco and Los Angeles. Those paying attention to the project call it the “half-fast” rail line because it will share trackage with conventional commuter rail trains in the sprawling Los Angeles and San Francisco areas, lowering its average speed to levels achieved by American railways a century ago.

Westboro Baptist Cult Lunatics Join NFL #TakeAKnee Protests

 

Contrary to the NFL's constant denial that the #TakeAKnee protests are unpatriotic or disrespectful to our nation, the Westboro cult members, who are known America-haters, see it differently and have found their soulmates in the NFL. Sending a message directly to the NFL and Jerry Jones, the cultists encouraged the continued degradation of our country on prime time.

 

"Westboro Baptist Church takes a seat for the entirety of the national anthem!" they cheerily posted on Twitter. It's fitting that the most hated cult in America is now supporting the most hated sport. Serendipitous.

To the "lets get rid of gas burning vehicles" folks...What kind of hazmat is created with your battery operated cars?   What happens when a ship full of battery operated cars sinks in the ocean?

There could be clean battery tech, I've heard.

 

But right now lots of energy goes into an electric or hybrid before it drives. Forcing it makes it messy, like early gas engines. All because gas sucks? Battery and DC motor tech could quickly take over if was allowed to make it from a performance/efficiency motivated development. Engine gets smaller and disappears.

 

Not save the earth now with a Prius for everybody

They get wet but don't have the gas and oil in them like a regular car

Electric cars leave a bigger carbon or whatever you leftists call it foot print...clean energy eh!

Here's some information so you can have an informed opinion. Yes manufacture/disposal is bigger, but once you factor in ten years of driving, even coal powered electric cross net cleaner. Not that I'd care if they were dirtier, because a huge percentage of ev purchasers are buying PV systems to power their cars. You want to tell me PV systems are dirtier than the grid too?

 

When all you got is a right wing, you can only fly in circles KO

No Mike! That lithium (that they mine from healthy lakes and lake beds), touches water and explodes so big countries will fall. The whole ocean will disintegrate. Ha! I ship Tesla batteries so I see the MSDS on them. Nothing. The only thing listed is the coolant because it is cooled with glycol...

 

EV's dirtiest aspect is mining lithium, producing glass, and steel.

East or west , you'll fly in circles :)

 

Glad Tr8er does have real info on EVs. (No sarcasm)

 

If we did have 40% EVs in 5 years , what's powering them? Honest thought: coal , clean coal , nuke or solar? Are your sure the coal powered EV makes up for its manufacturing? coal mining, solar production included?

 

Don't think the Marxist :) left wants cars in 20 years , just mass transit

well, not for us anyway. Al Gore, Diane Feinstein and Hillary Clinton will still be in limousines while they work tirelessly to save the little guy from the capitalist tyranny of automobile ownership. That's okay though because all the American liberals who espouse hard left views are all gonna get comfy office jobs after The Glorious Proletarian Revoultion.

The thing a lot of people don't realize with the electric car is what's going to happen to electricity costs ? we already have rolling blackouts here in California during the summer when everybody runs the AC full blast.What's it going to be like when a million cars need to be charged daily ? when demand soars for something the price usually soars with it.Gasoline is a perfect example of that.Using solar is a great way to get free electricity but you're going to need a lot of output to charge a car.

In NO WAY WHAT SO EVER is blm like the tea party movement or civil rights movement.

Black Lives Matter cannot be sued by Louisiana police officer, federal judge rules

A federal judge ruled Thursday that Black Lives Matter was not an organization but a social movement akin to the tea party or the civil rights movement, and cannot be sued by a Louisiana police officer who was injured at a protest against police brutality last year.

 

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Brian A. Jackson threw out a lawsuit an officer with the Baton Rouge Police Department filed anonymously against Black Lives Matter and DeRay Mckesson, one of the movement’s leading activists.

 

“Although many entities have utilized the phrase ‘black lives matter’ in their titles or business designations,” the judge wrote, “’black lives matter’ itself is not an entity of any sort.”

 

As such, Jackson said, Black Lives Matter cannot be sued “in a similar way that a person cannot plausibly sue other social movements such as the Civil Rights movement, the LGBT rights movement, or the Tea Party movement.”

 

The officer, identified as John Doe in court documents, claimed in the lawsuit that he was patrolling a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Baton Rouge on July 9, 2016, when someone threw a rock at his head, injuring his teeth and jaw. Mckesson attended the rally, which was held to protest the fatal shooting of Alton Sterling, a black man, by a white police officer.

 

The officer argued Black Lives Matter was a “national unincorporated association” and called Mckesson its leader and co-founder. He claimed the activists had gathered in Baton Rouge to incite violence against police and that Mckesson was responsible for the actions of the unidentified demonstrator who hurled the rock.

 

The judge disagreed.

“Plaintiff has pleaded facts that merely demonstrate that Mckesson exercised his constitutional right to association and that he solely engaged in protected speech at the demonstration that took place in Baton Rouge on July 9, 2016,” Jackson wrote.

 

The judge added that the officer hadn’t cited any evidence showing that Mckesson “exceeded the bounds of protected speech.” Beyond that, Mckesson couldn’t be held liable for others’ actions, he wrote.

 

The judge also denied the officer’s attempt to add the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter to the suit, writing that “a hashtag is patently incapable of being sued.” Nor could the officer sue the corporation Black Lives Matter Network Inc., according to the judge.

 

Mckesson was among nearly 200 people who were arrested in protests sparked by Sterling’s death. He was held for 16 hours on a charge of obstructing a highway. Local prosecutors ultimately dropped charges against him and dozens of others. He has long described Black Lives Matter as a call to end violence.

 

“It is an expected tactic that those in power will try to use the courts to silence activists and organizers,” Mckesson, who lives in Baltimore, told The Washington Post on Thursday. “I am thankful that the judge did not allow that to happen in this case.”

 

Donna Grodner, an attorney for the officer, didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment late Thursday night.

 

At a hearing in June, Grodner argued that Black Lives Matter had showed “a level of national organization” by holding meetings, setting up national chapters and soliciting money, as the Associated Press reported. An attorney for Mckesson responded that it was a leaderless movement with no governing body or formal membership.

 

In his ruling, Jackson wrote that the officer’s complaint cited no public statements from Mckesson except for a single quote the activist gave to the New York Times. Shortly after being released from jail, Mckesson told the newspaper: “The police want protesters to be too afraid to protest.”

 

The judge noted that the statement “does not advocate — or make any reference to — violence of any kind.” Even if it did, he said, it could still qualify as constitutionally protected speech. The officer’s claim that Mckesson allegedly “did nothing to calm the crowd” fell short as well, according to the judge.

 

Mckesson and Black Lives Matter are named in a separate lawsuit in the same court filed by an officer who was wounded when a gunman opened fire on law enforcement officers in Baton Rouge last July. The gunman, Gavin Long, killed three officers and injured three others in the ambush-style attack before being fatally shot by authorities. He wrote in a suicide not that his actions were a “necessary evil” designed to retaliate against law enforcement.

 

The officer’s lawsuit, which is still pending, accuses Black Lives Matter, Mckesson and other prominent activists of inciting the violence. They have denied wrongdoing.
