The NHS Pays Diversity Officers Up to £75,000 a Year. No Wonder it Can’t Afford to Treat Patients BY DAVID CRAIG

KDJ's 'Gun Myth' Fact Check: Liberals vs. Americans, Part 2: Mass Shootings
- Crime causes chaos, which communism needs to successfully spread across the country.
- Higher gun-related crime statistics are used to justify saying, “We need to abolish guns.”
FACT-O-RAMA! A mass shooting is defined as four or more people shot, not including the shooter(s), in a fluid situation. Meaning, If I blaze up a Denny’s and shoot three people, go home, take a nap, catch the 3:10 showing of “Barbie,” and shoot three more in the theatre, this is not a mass shooting.Let’s take a look at what the leftoids at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) are saying about mass shootings:

National Archives reveals it has 5,400 Biden emails in which the president potentially used FAKE NAMES to forward government information and discuss business with son Hunter | Daily Mail Online
- NARA has acknowledged holding around 5,400 emails, electronic records, and documents suggesting President Biden used pseudonyms while Obama's VP.
- The existence of the emails came to light in response to a Freedom of Information Act request submitted in June 2022.

The Weaponization of Justice - American Thinker
Here’s a sample:
Administrations and their efforts to stock the justice department with supporters come and go. But in the last decade the Left has viewed the Department of Justice as a political extension of the party -- whose unchecked power must properly be directed to hurt enemies and help friends. [snip]
Never in U.S. history have the Department of Justice and sympathetic state and local prosecutors indicted a leading opposition candidate and likely nominee of one of the two major parties, and at the beginning of a presidential campaign. Donald Trump is currently charged with nearly 100 felonies by at least two prosecutors. He likely eventually will be hit with more than- 500 indictments, from four prosecutors, every one of the latter with a long record of either leftwing associations or Democratic service...

Climate Lawfare
- Lawfare has come into the general lexicon since Trump came down the elevator. It is the idea of weaponizing the legal system against opponents...
- Climate lawfare has come in two distinct, so far failed tranches; the Harvard Law School conference (a summary is available at corpgov.law.harvard.edu) newly proposes a third. Plus there is the newly decided Montana children’s case that is an outlier peculiar to Montana.
- Sea level rise did not accelerate as Hansen predicted in 1988.
- Arctic summer sea ice did not disappear by the mid 2010’s as Wadhams predicted...
This doctrine lives in a grey area between torts (public nuisance is technically a tort) and contract law. It is frequently referred to as ‘quasi contractual obligations’. It usually arises from a lack of lawyering, so proposing it’s use as lawfare is certainly novel. The doctrine has three elements:
- A benefit received by a defendant.
- At plaintiff’s expense.
- Where it would unjust to retain the benefit without compensation.
There are two common types of state court cases.
One is where a written contract should have been in place but wasn’t. For example, a painter verbally agrees to paint a house for a few thousand dollars. Under the Uniform Commercial Code, the value is such that a written contract should be in place. Verbal isn’t enforceable. The painter buys the paint and paints the house. Then the homeowner refuses to pay because there was only a verbal agreement. The homeowner is unjustly enriched.
The other is where a couple lives together and commingles finances. Then there is a ‘divorce’. One sues the other (usually the poorer sues the richer) claiming unjustly enriched by the relationship. Messy. There are actually lawyers (hopefully not from Harvard Law) who advertise specializing in this mess.
So now junior EU law professors are proposing suits based on ‘unjust climate enrichment’. Their legal reasoning is at best sketchy. They say climate stability, like clean air and water, has long been recognized as public property. (This is NOT true. In the US the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act established those public rights by legislation in the early 1970’s. There is as yet no Climate Stability Act.) Then they argue climate polluters (carbon pollution, by which is really meant CO2) are making enormous profits off the asserted climate crisis, which comprises ‘unjust climate enrichment’ and new lawfare grounds.
This idea is goofier than Merchants of Doubt and public nuisance. It doesn’t logically work at all. Exxon makes a legal profit selling the public gasoline. Ford makes a legal profit selling the public ICE vehicles. The PUBLIC is the one unjustly enriched by enjoying the enabled driving convenience!
Finally, since it is current and topical, we have the very recent outlier ruling in favor of Montana children who sued the state for enabling fossil fuel extraction. Montana has very little natural gas extraction, and only a modest amount of crude oil from the Williston Basin. But it is the US #1 producer of steam coal from the Powder River Basin.
The state court ruling is based on the Montana state constitution (MSC), and almost certainly does not apply elsewhere. The MSC A2 (inalienable rights) §3 specifically includes “the right to a clean and healthful environment”. MSC A9§1 provides “The state SHALL maintain and improve a clean and healthful environment for present and future generations.”
I don’t think the outlier ruling means much in terms of future Montana action. Ironically, despite A9§1, Libby Montana is home to the US largest asbestos contaminated Superfund site thanks to decades of mining asbestos contaminated vermiculite And Montana has done nothing about it. And a Libby clinic was just fined $5 million for submitting false asbestos injury claims.
