From City Journal:

The scheme operates through the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which regulates privately owned utility companies. California utilities spent more than $43 billion in 2024 on contractors—fuel suppliers, surveyors, engineers, and others—whose work helps deliver water, gas, electricity, and internet service to California’s 39 million residents.

Back in the 1980s, CPUC established a Supplier Diversity Program to discriminate against white men. Like all things progressive, it progressed:

In September 2014, then-Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation requiring CPUC to recognize “LGBT-owned businesses” as eligible for supplier-diversity benefits. Five years later, Governor Gavin Newsom expanded the program further, “encouraging” other companies involved in the energy sector to award contracts to gay-owned firms.

CPUC now has quotas for how much business must go to firms owned by homosexuals. Here’s how bureaucrats ensure they deserve this privileged status:

Supplier Clearinghouse, a group that certifies firms for the CPUC program, features a list of qualifications linked on its website. Applicants can secure certification by providing a letter from an “LGBT organization” attesting to their sexual preferences; proof that a newspaper identified them as “LGBT”; or three letters from “personal contacts” written “on company letterhead” attesting to their homosexual orientation. Corporate officials who “falsely represent” their business as gay face up to a year in county jail.

Supplier Clearinghouse also accepts gay-certification letters from the National LGBTQ+ & Allied Chamber of Commerce. The chamber has its own list of accepted documents, including human resources complaints or police records claiming LGBT discrimination.

Just to be sure, maybe they should require business owners to submit homemade porno movies.

In California, preferential public contracting is technically illegal. In 1996, voters approved Proposition 209, which banned the state from granting preferential treatment based on race, sex, or ethnicity in public employment, education, and contracting. More than two decades later, in 2020, they rejected an effort to repeal the ban.

Sure, and in 2008, California voters passed Proposition 8, banning homosexual marriage. Where moonbattery prevails, voters only get what they want when they want what they are supposed to.

The programme in question is Pickle Storm, a CBBC (Children’s BBC) series following a young ‘alien’ who flees persecution on her home planet and settles in a British town. … Reports note that pro-migrant charity Heard held meetings with the show’s producers at Blackdog Television, including at least one BBC children’s programming representative on a Zoom call.

Heard later claimed in its own materials that producers used the input to inform the second series, which aired in 2025. The charity described the engagement as part of a strategy to “tap into children’s media and directly impact framing of migration in children’s content.”

They should spell in “Herd,” considering that its purpose to is to herd the impressionable off to the stockyards.

Heard presents itself as seeking to “shift public attitudes, norms and policy preferences.”

To accomplish this, it targets impressionable children who do not understand the threat posed to their own kind.

Heard has received money from sinister ultraleft financier George Soros as well as from the British taxpayers it aspires to displace via Arts Council England.

The board voted 7-0 after meeting in executive session to consider the firing of Jennifer Honka.

Students had been complaining to other teachers that Honka staged skits in which students were made to kiss each other — on a same sex basis. Kids who refused to participate were given a score of zero.

Although this is consistent with the aggressive promotion of homosexuality to children in public schools, educrats are not yet ready to take the next logical step from indoctrination to coercion. The public might push back.

Honka had shared with her students that she is a lesbian and active in promoting LGBTism. Her defense is what you would expect:

Honka told investigators she believed she was the subject of discrimination based on her sexual orientation. But, according to the independent review, Honka has filed 18 grievances against the school district as a representative of the teachers’ union. According to the school board, none of them included a discrimination claim.

Discrimination against LGBTers is a preposterous concept in the context of schools these days.

State administrative law judge Keith J. Kirchubel observed that “for all of her asserted interest in a diverse and accepting environment at school, it was (Honka) who attributed the outcry by the students to their strong Christian backgrounds. That statement had its own discriminatory ring.”

Public schools have gone out of their way to promote LGBTism. This encourages unwholesome behavior. It may even draw people to the teaching profession for the wrong reasons.

Thousands of supporters of Luigi Mangione, the man charged in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, have contributed more than $1.5 million to his legal defense…

The supporter-created donation website Stats4Lulu reported on Monday that Mangione’s legal fund had collected $1,530,753 from over 40,000 donors.

Mangione has also received more than 6,000 letters of support.

Murdering Thompson was a heroic deed from the liberal point of view due to presumed political motive. He was killed not for any personal reason but because of his job providing healthcare insurance on a nonsocialist basis. This has earned Mangione implicit support from as prominent a Democrat as US Senator and former presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

If they shoot healthcare executives in the street now, imagine what they might do to you once they have consolidated control of the government.

If you want to know why there will be more Karmelo Anthonys — angry black youth all too willing to kill whites — look no further than diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training offered by the Illinois government. It portrays white people and police as mosquitoes inflicting “microaggression” bites that maddeningly accumulate over time. Don’t worry, though, there is a remedy.

The training also shows a black woman using a flamethrower to incinerate the whites and cops mosquitoes.

From Outkick Sports:

Late last week, the San Francisco Giants hosted their “Pride Night,” with the team wearing hats with a rainbow-colored Giants logo.

The point is to force players to publicly advocate homosexuality.

Several Giants pitchers, in a statement of their faith, wrote Bible verse designations on their hats.

Landen Roupp followed the lead of Dodger great Clayton Kershaw with a reference to Genesis 9:12-16:

And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

That’s what the rainbow means. For it to be appropriated by militant degenerates in the name of sexual perversion is sheer blasphemy.

A couple other Giants also stood tall. JT Brubaker wrote Genesis 9:13 on his hat. Sam Hentges reportedly refused to wear an LGBT hat at all.

The liberals in charge are not happy:

“The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations,” said Pat Courtney, MLB’s chief communications officer, in a statement.

At least, it violates their rules when they don’t like the message.

Christians have for millennia suffered far worse persecution for their faith than anything MLB moonbats can inflict. This persecution continues in benighted places like Africa and communist China. If a Nigerian has the guts to show up for church in light of recent massacres, no ballplayer should be afraid to write a Bible verse on his hat.

Concern is mounting that taxpayers could be left holding the bag if the Obama Presidential Center runs into financial trouble, as the foundation behind it has yet to establish a promised $470 million safety net to guard against a public bailout.

The scrutiny comes as a Fox News Digital investigation found multiple contractors and subcontractors claiming losses ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions on the project, with some alleging they remain locked in payment disputes and face financial ruin just days before the center’s grand opening.

There was supposed to be a safety net so that Obama would not resume his old habit of bleeding taxpayers…

Under its agreement with the city, the Obama Foundation pledged to create the fund, known as an endowment, as part of its 99-year deal to take control of the publicly owned 19.3-acre section of Jackson Park for a one-time payment of just $10.

…but leftists are never done bleeding taxpayers. According to the most recent findings, only $1 million is in the fund. In the context of Democrats throwing money down ratholes, that is a rounding error.

Concerns about the center’s financial state have raged for years, especially since construction delays and costs have ballooned from an original estimate of roughly $330 million to at least $850 million based on 2021 figures. An updated final projected cost has not been made public.

There is a simple solution. Put Democrats back in the White House, federalize the project, and then print whatever amount of money will finance this hideous monument to a pernicious moonbat’s ego.

As fitting as the bloated cost, incompetent management, and likelihood of shafting taxpayers is the scheduled day the Obama Center will open to the public. Juneteenth was established as a federal holiday to reward race riots for which Obama sowed the seeds with his racially divisive community activist tactics.

850M Obama Presidential Center opens on Juneteenth.

The post Obama Presidential Center Debacle Could Hammer Taxpayers appeared first on Moonbattery.

The New York Post reports:

Taxpayers are on the hook for $5.2 million to pay the swollen salaries of the information ministers in socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s new City Hall propaganda bureau – a staggering 175% more than first thought, The Post can reveal.

It’s barely been open for business for a month, but the Office of Mass Engagement has already seen its headcount balloon 186% from 14 to 40, with $5,123,756 earmarked for salaries, according to the city’s recently released 2027 executive budget.

Nothing grows as relentlessly as a government program.

Mamdani is planning to hire an additional 26 comrades by next year, at an average salary of $125,000, based on details in the budget. …

Workers in the Office of Mass Engagement come on top of the mayor’s own communications team, which is expected to be larger than that of any other mayor in Big Apple history, sources said.

At least chocolate condoms don’t cost as much as moonbat propagandists. Via Frontpage Magazine:

Gonorrhea rates in New York City have more than doubled in a decade and syphilis is ‘surging’ statewide. Mamdani’s Department of Health has responded to this crisis by rushing a free supply of lubricant and chocolate flavored condoms.

As with all things Democrat, Cultural Marxism comes into play:

Councilwoman Pierina Sanchez, a Mamdani ally, explained that the free chocolate flavored condoms were necessary because “inequities persist among women, low-income households, and Black and Latino New Yorkers.”

Sorry white male New Yorkers who work instead of vote for a living. No chocolate condoms for you.

Gonorrhea and syphilis are not the only diseases that unsurprisingly are on the rise in a city run by moonbats:

After a Legionnaire’s disease outbreak in city buildings in Harlem killed 5 people last year, several residents in Manhattan public housing came down with the disease this year. Residents in public housing were told to stop taking showers and fill up bathtubs very slowly as they try to figure out what’s causing it.

Health officials hadn’t gotten around to issuing this warning until the second person came down with the disease, but that’s a step up from last year when the source of the outbreak turned out to be the site of the New York City Public Health Laboratory: a ‘state of the art’ $454 million glass and steel tower whose bureaucrats would be “tasked with protecting and promoting the health of all New Yorkers and keeping the city at the forefront of disease response and investigation” which instead infected around 100 people with a disease.

Half a $billion for yet another building full of largely useless overpaid bureaucrats. Good thing money is free when it belongs to someone else.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin defended President Donald Trump’s push for citizenship checks in federal elections Sunday, claiming DHS was preparing for the 2026 midterms by reviewing voter information and records. …

Mullin also said the federal election cycle was central to the country and argued that citizenship verification should not be controversial.

Something else that should not be controversial is the presence of ICE agents at polls.

Mullin faced questions during his confirmation hearing about whether ICE agents could be positioned near polling places. At the time, he questioned why critics were concerned about immigration enforcement at voting sites.

What should be controversial is that Democrats regard this as controversial. Their intention to seize power by cheating could not be more obvious.

Many millions of illegal aliens were treasonously allowed into the country under Biden. Democrats do not have the patience to wait for the welfare state to grow from them massive numbers of American-born government-dependent offspring. They want power now.

Once they get it, they are unlikely to let it go. Election fraud will be institutionalized and upheld by a packed Supreme Court. After all, if we have fair elections, someone like Trump might get elected.

An 88-year-old transgender serial killer has been sentenced to life in prison for the brutal murder and dismemberment of a woman he met while staying at a women’s shelter in New York City.

Inductees into the Transsexual Violence Hall of Horrors come in all ages.

Marcelin’s victim was 68-year-old Susan Leyden, who was murdered in March of 2022 and had her body parts scattered throughout the neighborhood. Leyden’s headless torso was the first part of her body found after a passerby spotted it in an abandoned shopping cart. The gruesome discovery was blocks away from Marcelin’s Brooklyn apartment, prompting police to search Marcelin’s residence as he had a criminal record that included multiple murders. …

During their search of his residence, investigators discovered Leyden’s head, as well as a number of saws and bloody sheets Marcelin had purchased from a local Home Depot. One of Leyden’s legs was recovered near a garbage can a few blocks away.

As a homicidal maniac, Marcelin has an impressive résumé:

In 1963, Marcelin was arrested for shooting his then-girlfriend Jacqueline Bonds three times inside their Manhattan apartment. He was sentenced to 20 years to life and was paroled in 1984. After his release, he went on to stab another female sexual partner to death, stuffing her corpse in a garbage bag and then dumping it on the street near Central Park.

Why was he ever let out of prison? Because moonbattery.

No wonder classic horror movies like Psycho and Silence of the Lambs feature transsexual killers. Marcelin himself had a starring role in store surveillance footage released by the NYPD:

In it, Marcelin was seen casually utilizing a motorized wheelchair with what appears to be a severed human leg on the seat, visible when Marcelin stands from the chair to look at products in the store.

People are not likely to present themselves as members of the opposite sex unless they are both creepy and crazy.

Liberal establishment ideology is creepy and crazy too. Kings County District Attorney Eric Gonzalez participated in Marcelin’s psychosis by repeatedly referring to him as a “female person of interest.”

Not everyone was happy about his presence in a women’s shelter. But authorities took the predictable side:

Monica Archer was let go from her position at George Daly House, a short-term housing alternative for elderly residents in Alphabet City, even after convicted serial killer Marcelin was charged with the brutal slaying and dismemberment of Leyden.

She says she was canned for complaining to her bosses that Marcelin threatened to kill her.

Archer says that management continued to allow Marcelin to reside at the shelter, despite “knowing that [he] had been accused of and convicted of several murders, allegedly possessed a gun, and regularly threatened to kill staff members.”

Those in charge pay no price for their horrific mistakes, so they go on making them. They continued to put Marcelin in with women:

He remains classified as a “female” inmate in the New York City Department of Corrections database.

For the past four years, Marcelin had been held at the Rose M. Singer Center for female inmates on the basis of his self-declared gender identity, but he was recently moved to the Bellevue Hospital Outposted Therapeutic Housing Unit, likely due to his failing health and advanced age.

Age is all that will stop him from killing more women.
