Not my point. Facts and good digs not childish insults.
Nancy Pelosi Announces Plans For A House ‘Climate Crisis’ Committee After Flying Thousands Of Miles To A Hawaiian Resort
California Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi announced the creation of a House “climate crisis” committee.
Already far-left Democrats are expressing their discontent with Pelosi’s plan.
Pelosi announced the “climate crisis” committee after flying thousands of miles to Hawaii.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi announced Friday that Democrats would create a Select Committee on the Climate Crisis in 2019, which will be headed by Florida Democratic Rep. Kathy Castor.
However, Pelosi’s announcement isn’t placating progressives in her party, such as New York Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who support “Green New Deal” legislation.
“This committee, if it turns out that the rumors about it are true, sound about as useful as a screen door on a submarine,” Ocasio-Cortez spokesman Corbin Trent, told The Hill.
“As it’s portrayed it’s going to be completely incapable of solving the greatest threat to human kind,” Trent said.
Pelosi, who’s expected to be elected House speaker in 2019, said there’s “tremendous pressure” for Democrats to make fighting global warming a central part of their agenda in the new year.
Pelosi made her announcement amid a government shutdown after she flew thousands of miles to a luxurious Hawaiian hotel where she was spotted Thursday, according to reports.
The creation of the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis is one way Pelosi plans on satisfying progressives without angering incoming committee chairs, like New Jersey Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone, who want to advance their own climate bills.
“It is with great enthusiasm that I appoint Congresswoman Kathy Castor as the Chair of our new Select Committee on the Climate Crisis,” Pelos said in a statement issued Friday.
“She will bring great experience, energy and urgency to the existential threat of the climate crisis,” Pelosi said. “This committee will be critical to the entire Congress’s mission to respond to the urgency of this threat, while creating the good-paying, green jobs of the future.”
Pelosi’s climate committee isn’t expected to have subpoena power or authority to advance legislation to the House floor for a vote. If that’s the case, it would be weaker than the previous select climate committee behind the 2010 failed cap-and-trade effort.
“The American people have demanded action to combat the climate crisis, which threatens our public health, our economy, our national security and the whole of God’s creation,” Pelosi said.

Report: NYC Officials Ignored ICE Detainer Requests For Suspect Charged With Attacking NYPD Officer
NEW YORK — One of the five homeless individuals who attacked an NYPD officer at a New York City train station was identified as an illegal immigrant that New York City officials ignored federal immigration detainers on him, SiriusXM Patriot David Webb’s revealed through a source on his program Friday morning.
“One of the suspects is Eliseo Alvarez Santos, one of the homeless men,” Webb said. “And just to give you a bit of his record, on Dec. 1, 2017, he was brought into Manhattan lock up [sic], and Elicio is illegal, and an ICE detainer was issued on Dec. 25, 2017 — issued, but not honored. Again on Dec. 26, 2017 — again, not honored. In April of 2017, he was charged with forcible touching which was then knocked down to harassment.”
He added, “Again, the following policies are dictated by the mayor’s office — Bill de Blasio, his office. In April of 2018, a bench warrant was issued but the warrant did not show up until his arrest on Sunday of this year.”
Three of the homeless men were criminally charged by the New York Police Department Thursday after allegedly attacking NYPD police officer Ali Sayed who confronted them at a Manhattan subway station.
The NYPD says Officer Ali helped a woman who was being harassed at the subway station Sunday night. The incident, which ended up with one of the men falling on to the tracks, was caught on video and went viral.
