California Public Employees’ Retirement System Flushes Fortune Down Green Energy

Green energy moonbattery is not the best investment:

The California Public Employees’ Retirement System for state employees lost 71% of its $468 million investment in a clean energy and technology private equity fund, state records show, but CalPERS won’t explain how.

Don’t worry, retirees; California taxpayers will pick up the tab.

CalPERS says its pension benefits are only 79% funded, leaving the state, and its taxpayers, on the hook for the other 21%. According to a recent report from Reason Foundation, CalPERS’ pension shortfall is approximately $180 billion.

The 71% loss comes to over $330 million…

…for which private equity firms were paid at least $22 million in fees and costs.

CalPERS has not been forthcoming regarding specifics of how it flushed away the money.

Had the money put into the [CalPERS Clean Energy & Technology Fund] been passively invested in an S&P 500 index fund, with dividends reinvested, the fund would have been worth approximately $3 billion.

But that would not have saved a planet imperiled by the alleged menace of anthropogenic global warming.

The Obama legacy endures in California, which continues his policy of wasting vast amounts of taxpayer money on green energy boondoggles, possibly to launder it on behalf of those with a seat at the table.

Woman Threatens to Hunt Down and Eat Caucasians if Free Food Is Delayed

By now you have seen your share of angry blacks announcing they will loot grocery stores if their EBT cards are not fully charged with other people’s money. This one goes further — threatening cannibalism:

The hordes of furious SNAP beneficiaries provide insight into the purpose of the welfare state as well as the purpose of the Schumer Shutdown. Democrats have been breeding armies of these people, starting with Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” in the 1960s. In the face of Trump’s remarkably successful second presidency, the radicals now calling the shots within the party believe the time has come for them to be deployed.

The ultimate goal is to cause the destabilization required for maniacs to take control, as with Bolsheviks in Russia and Nazis in Germany.

University Places Trigger Warning on the Bible

Don’t worry, liberals won’t ban the Bible outright. First, they will designate it as objectional material with trigger warnings— as at the University of Sheffield :

Students are warned that the Bible contains scenes of murder and violence, with the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, singled out, according to the [Mail on Sunday], for “graphic bodily injury and sexual violence”.

Note they target the New Testament. Evidently moonbats regard the Crucifixion as sexually titillating, which would be consistent with their embrace of depravity.

Next comes an NC-17 rating on the Bible. Only after that flies will they actually ban it.

Meet the Democrat Base

The purpose of the welfare state is to breed a politically useful subculture of people like this (Language Alert):

Note that it is the white man who invented theft and is to blame for this vile creature’s shameless and criminal parasitism. Her mentality is consistent with liberal establishment ideology.

Top Aide to Democrat Governor Arrested for Drug Trafficking

One problem with single-party Democrat rule as they have in Massachusetts is that the lack of competition breeds arrogance and allows lowlifes to achieve positions of power. Consider the administration of Governor Maura Healey:

LaMar Cook, who has served as deputy director of Healey’s western Massachusetts office since 2023, was charged with trafficking over 200 grams of cocaine, unlawful possession of a firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition related to the bust, Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni announced Wednesday.

He wasn’t just over 200 grams. He was way over:

Multiple parcels containing about 21 kilograms of cocaine have been seized by Massachusetts State Police throughout the investigation into Cook.

You thought the little bag of cocaine Joe Biden’s bagman Hunter evidently left in White House was bad?

Cook was arrested during a Tuesday traffic stop, three days after authorities conducted a “controlled delivery operation” of eight kilos of coke to the Springfield State Office Building, where the Healey staffer worked.

In Cook’s defense, he is compliant with the DEI principles upon which staffing decisions are made under Democrat rule.

Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America Hate the Democratic Party

The Marxist Democratic Socialists of America are taking over the Democratic Party. It is a hostile takeover. DSA members like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, and Zohran Mamdani run as Democrats, but that doesn’t mean they have any fondness for the party they are exploiting as a vehicle in hopes of imposing communism.

Canary Mission explains how the DSA uses the Democratic Party the way cuckoos use the nests of other birds:

Chuck Schumer has been stomping again and again on a rake with his shutdown because out of terror that AOC will primary him, he is letting this idiot radical call the tune. He is being pushed out of his nest by a cuckoo.

Not even the party of Schumer and Pelosi is pernicious enough for these fiends. As in Russia, relatively moderate socialists will be the first to face the firing squads after genuine communists take power. Then the DSA will do to the rest of the country what it does to Democrats.

UK Judge Pretends Aging Syrian Migrant Is Child

If men can identify as women, why can’t aging migrants identify as children, if it helps them displace the European population? Leftist judges are happy to affirm them:

A migrant from Syria who has a ‘receding hairline’ and ‘grey hair’ has won an age case after an immigration judge ruled he was 16.

His other features include crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes, wrinkles on his forehead, nasolabial lines, and rings around his neck.

Derby City Council, which carried out the age assessment after his arrival, rejected his claims and said he was ‘significantly over 18 years of age’.

But the council was overruled.

[The clearly adult unnamed Syrian] took the case to an appeal in the Upper Tribunal of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber and has now won his case. …

Judge Gaenor Bruce said she accepted testimony of an Iranian asylum seeker who was in the same Derby hotel as [the aging Syrian] who was concerned about his young age and noted that the Syrian couldn’t cook or do the laundry.

Being too useless to do laundry confirms his likely contribution to the British economy, not that he is a child.

Adding insult to injury,

Derby City Council will have to pay the migrant’s legal costs.

That is unlikely to be the last time he will cost taxpayers money.

Regarding Judge Gaenor Bruce,

Bruce holds a Master of Laws (LLM) in Islamic Law and Comparative Human Rights from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London (2002–2004), and a BA Hons in Islamic Studies and Middle Eastern Politics from Exeter University (1991–1995).

Great résumé for a moonbat immigration judge. Regarding previous rulings,

In September 2025, she ruled that the nephew of a Taliban commander, granted asylum in the UK, could be joined by seven family members from Turkey, including parents, sisters, and a niece and nephew, despite concerns about the burden on public funds and lack of English proficiency. …

In another controversial 2025 ruling, Judge Bruce allowed an Egyptian man with 19 criminal convictions to remain in the UK, determining there was a real risk he would face torture or ill-treatment in Egypt due to his family’s alleged connections to the Muslim Brotherhood…

That’s who the British have determining who will come into the country in unsupportable numbers.

Bruce has been recognized for her work in mentoring and promoting diversity in the judiciary…

Because of course she has. Gaenor Bruce is diversity incarnate.
