I was unaware that any state, including CA, gives underage children the right to vote in general or other elections. I believe the voting age in CA is 18, and if they voted in a class in school, that does not count in the political arena.<\/p>\n Too bad, kids. DiFi may be a butthead political animal, but she\u2019s right: you didn\u2019t vote for her. Period. Go home and grow up.<\/p>\n Meantime, there is also this rebuttal of a lawsuit, also brought by minors, against the US government, for not doing something about climate change, which they claim aggravates their allergies and asthma. They offered no proof that it happens, only stated that it does.\u00a0 The ruling is\u00a0here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.climateliabilitynews.org\/2019\/02\/20\/pennsylvania-kids-climate-case\/<\/a><\/p>\n I can claim that floral perfumes and pollen give me a histaminic reaction called an allergy and demand in court that all plants with flowers \u2013 all of them, including fruit trees, clover, alfalfa, lilacs, spinach \u2013 be banned by the US government. A demand like that has no basis in reality, and in fact, would do more harm than good as flowering plants provide food to pollinating insects, birds of all kinds (which eat insects) and would wipe out almost the entire food chain on this planet, which would starve several billion people. Yes, a claim like that is<\/em> ludicrous, but there are people who would file it, mostly to get money and attention.<\/p>\n What I found strange is that nowhere in Judge Aiken\u2019s decision was there any reference to the Environmental Protection Agency, which is tasked with the thankless job of keeping polluters under their thumb, among other things. That is a massive oversight and failure on her part, which appears to have been intentional, making her response political rather than a response that is scientifically accurate and follows the law. \u00a0This was just another grab for money and attention, nothing else. Using children to get it is unconscionable.<\/p>\n Remember the most recent episode of attention whoring on the plaza at the Lincoln Memorial?\u00a0 When it started, WaPo ran nearly a week\u2019s worth of articles repeating their original claim: that the Sandmann teen was at fault, when in fact he was not. \u00a0It was the guy with the drum who went to crowd him and his friends on the plaza at the Lincoln Memorial, but despite the evidence to the contrary, WaPo went on with its insistence that the kid was a fault. Now they are facing a massive lawsuit over it.<\/p>\n At the same time, Michael Mann, the hockey stick chart guy who rose to fame and grant money based on his claim that there has never been a prolonged cold period since the end of the last Glacial Maximum, has also filed a defamation suit against WaPo for maligning him and insists that his research and conclusions are accurate. \u00a0I will not get into the silly science part of this here, but 24 of Mikey\u2019s media buddies have turned their backs on him. And yes, he does have the right to demand that WaPo rescind what it said about him. \u00a0\u00a0https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/24-media-organizations-oppose-defamation-suit-waged-by-climate-scientist_2810374.html<\/a><\/p>\n I think it’s safe to say that sharks do have better manners than people in news media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
