Moonbats Release Genetically Modified Mosquitoes

Mosquitos are our #1 enemy. Due to their tendency to spread disease, they kill more people than any other animal. Thanks to hubristic leftist do-gooders, they may get still more deadly.

Via Slay News:

A growing number of experts are raising the alarm over billionaire Bill Gates’s extensive involvement in genetically modified mosquito projects after it emerged that the Microsoft co-founder has released hundreds of millions of bacteria-infested mosquitoes into the wild in Colombia. …

The concerns intensified after the government of Burkina Faso terminated the controversial Target Malaria project last year, citing biosafety risks, questionable effectiveness, and concerns over scientific sovereignty.

The idea in Burkina Faso was to use mutated mosquitoes to fight malaria, which is spread by mosquitoes.

In Colombia, projects funded by the Gates Foundation are releasing 30 million mosquitoes carrying modified Wolbachia bacteria per week.

The initiative began years ago and has expanded significantly, with supporters claiming the bacteria can reduce transmission of diseases such as dengue fever.

Critics, however, argue that the public is effectively participating in a biological experiment without meaningful informed consent and that the long-term ecological consequences remain uncertain.

Effects could be irreversible.

Closer to home than Colombia — via the New York Post:

[Google] is seeking federal approval to release up to 32 million specially treated mosquitoes in California and Florida over the next two years as part of an effort to reduce the spread of mosquito-borne diseases, including West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever.

Again the plan is to release mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia.

Google says artificial intelligence and robotic systems would be used to breed, sort and release the mosquitoes at a scale large enough to make the strategy effective.

If you trust Bill Gates to tamper with biology, why not Google? It does have public health credentials, having done such a great job of suppressing “misinformation” on YouTube during Covid hysteria.

If approval is not forthcoming from Lee Zeldin’s EPA, Google can just wait for the next Democrat administration.

Even more frightening than unintended consequences is the tendency of moonbats to believe there are too many of us.

More Social Justice? Woman Murdered on Atlanta Train in Broad Daylight

Examples abound. Iryna Zarutska had her throat slashed on a train in Charlotte. Bethany MaGee was set on fire on a train in Chicago. Rita Loncharich was stabbed to death in a Barnes & Noble in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Now Margaret Swan.

From Gateway Pundit:

As FOX 5 Atlanta reported, a woman was stabbed to death on a MARTA train near the Oakland City Station on Saturday shortly after 12 pm.

Here’s the alleged perp 25-year-old John Elijah Matthews face-down on the platform:

To catch a glimpse of the victim, click here. WARNING: It is gruesome.

The victim, who is lying on the ground, appears to be white. The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office identified her as 66-year-old Margaret Swan of Atlanta.

Looks like it’s open season on white women. By the time Critical Race Theory filters down from Ivy League faculty lounges through the media to public transportation, it gets ugly.

Reparations Demands in New York

While regular Americans reflect on the greatness of this remarkable country as we approach its 250th birthday, moonbats twist its history into a pageant of shame to justify looting on a massive scale. Gateway Pundit reports from New York, where both the state and NYC are moving forward with “reparations” — i.e., direct cash handouts for being black, justified by America’s injustice:

FOX News caught up with activists following a New York State Community Commission on Reparations Remedies last Saturday and asked them several questions, including how much the reparations should cost.

One floated the figure of $800,000 apiece.

New Yorkers had differing opinions on what such payments should look like, however. One thought it should operate like a central bank for black people.

“I think it should be, me personally, I think there should be a new Freedmen’s Bureau back, and that is like a central bank almost to Black America and would be distributed to Black communities,” Rex Burns said.

Others said the state government should write a check.

Slavery has not been legal in New York State since 1827, when the last 4,600 slaves were emancipated.

Checks for $800,000 will not satisfy their locust-like greed but only whet their appetite:

“It shouldn’t only be a check, but it should start with a check,” Brooke Lean told Fox News.

In addition to ever more privileged treatment, they will require more checks. If the $trillions looted through the welfare state do not suffice, nothing ever will — not so long as a single penny remains for liberals to confiscate and bestow upon them in reverence for the sacred oppressedness of their distant ancestors.

Unitarian Church Boycotts USA’s 250th Birthday Because White People Are Bad

At the heart of moonbattery is self-hatred projected onto your own kind. So you could hardly expect Unitarians in lefty Nantucket to celebrate their own remarkable country on its semiquincentennial.

Boston Herald reports:

A church on Nantucket says it won’t host its Fourth of July readings of the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights as America celebrates its 250th anniversary because of “our own whiteness.”

Specifically, the Nantucket Unitarian Universalists are boycotting America’s birthday in protest against the Supreme Court nixing racial gerrymandering.

“We came to this decision in large measure because of the recent gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court,” Rev. Erin Splaine and the group’s board of trustees wrote in a letter to the Nantucket Current news outlet on Thursday. …

“Our cancelling the 4th of July celebration this year reflects the deep concern we are feeling since the Supreme Court decision,” the letter continues, “as well as an on-going process within the congregation to better understand our own whiteness and how we can be part of changing an inherently unfair system which has been in place for 250 years.”

At least they can still celebrate Juneteenth along with recently deposed John Cornyn.

Mamdani Appoints Anti-cop Moonbat to Be NYC Sheriff

What happens to a society when the police hate the police? New York City is about to find out. Zohran Mamdani has appointed radical left-winger Edwin Raymond to be NYC sheriff.

Leftists believe that everything imaginable centers on slavery still existing in parts of the USA 2 centuries ago, so Raymond views the police in this light, comparing them to slave patrols. The New York Post quotes the moonbat:

“So slave patrol were basically, militias, if you will, during the time when slavery was legal, whose job was to catch runaway slaves. And after the Civil War, many of them literally just rolled over into police departments.”

Also, Jim Crow:

In his 2023 book “An Inconvenient Cop,” Raymond doubled down, saying “today’s police force is the kin of the slave patrols of the nineteenth century and the Black Codes of the Jim Crow South.”

Raymond has expressed his hostility to the police by engaging in lawfare:

In 2015, Raymond and 11 other black and Hispanic cops made headlines by filing a federal lawsuit against the NYPD, accusing Transit Bureau supervisors of mandating arrest quotas of people of color.

The case was dismissed but is still under appeal. The odds of the allegations having any validity whatsoever in ultraleft NYC are remote.

Raymond’s race-based ideology has benefited criminals:

In 2017, the NYPD launched an internal probe against Raymond for giving a domestic violence suspect a slide for being Black.

He regards the accidental death of Eric Garner while resisting arrest as an example of “systemic racism.” Mamdani has effectively turned over the sheriff’s office to Black Lives Matter.

What Democrats Have Done to the Judiciary

When they win elections, Democrats rule. When they lose elections, they rule anyway — through the unprincipled ultrapartisan apparatchiks they install on the bench. Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer has spelled it right out:

The New York Post provides an example of the caliber of judge Democrats have used to subvert the judiciary:

A married judge who had noisy sex with a top cop in her court chambers has been named as a Barack Obama appointee who meted out a tough sentence to reality star Todd Chrisley.

Judge Eleanor Ross, of the Atlanta-based US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, was handed a private dressing-down after the alleged steamy affair with a police commander within earshot of law clerks, reported Bloomberg.

Obama’s toxic legacy continues to unfold.

The frisky jurist was also found to have improperly attended a partisan political event hosted by a district attorney’s campaign, and to have made false statements to judges investigating her conduct. …

She also previously dismissed a 2020 lawsuit filed by Georgia’s two Republican senators challenging mail-in ballot procedures.

As for qualifications, Ross is historic, being the first black female judge in Georgia’s Northern District.

Chrisley was pardoned by Trump. If only all works of Democrat judges were as easy to undo.

Judge Ross endures her reprimand:
