Greta messes up Venice's Grand Canal, fined and told to never darken their H2O again

Constipation?

Oh, look everybody: Saint Greta of Perpetual Teenage Angst has graced Venice with her holy presence and turned the Grand Canal into a giant vat of radioactive-looking lime Jell-O. Admit it, nothing screams "save the planet" quite like dumping a bunch of fluorescent goo into one of the world's most historic waterways right after the grown-ups finished another pointless climate gabfest in Brazil.

Yes, this 22-year-old Swedish scold-in-chief, fresh off her latest "humanitarian" photo-op jihadi flotilla to Gaza (because apparently sailing around the Mediterranean in August is now part of the climate struggle), rolled into La Serenissima with her Extinction Rebellion cosplay brigade and decided the best way to fight "climate collapse" was to make the canals look like a St. Patrick’s Day parade threw up in them.

Result was a whopping $172 fine and a 48-hour "do-not-enter" order from Venice city limits. Which, let's be honest, is basically the Italian equivalent of being asked to take a time-out in the corner for five minutes. I'm sure Greta’s trembling lower lip is still recovering from the trauma.

The dye, Extinction Rebellion assures us, was "non-toxic" and "commonly used in environmental studies." Uh-huh. Because when I think "responsible science," my mind immediately goes to a bunch of trust-fund anarchists in red veils turning UNESCO sites into giant glow sticks while the COP30 clowns are still nursing their hangovers in Belém. And what gives anyone the right to put color dye in the Grand Canal.

Veneto Governor Luca Zaia called it exactly what it was: "a disrespectful act towards our city, its history and its fragility." Translation: "Thanks for reminding the world that Venice is sinking by giving tourists another reason to point and laugh while they Instagram your stupid stunt, you insufferable Swede."

Meanwhile, XR is whining that Italy's mean ol' Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni didn't clap hard enough for the latest round of global wealth-transfer schemes at COP30. Shocker.

So there you have it, kids: the planet is dying, sea levels are rising, Venice is literally built on water… and the best idea the professional apocalypse cheerleaders can come up with is dyeing that water the color of Mountain Dew Code Red and hanging a "Stop Ecocide" banner off the Rialto Bridge like it's a college dorm prank.

If this is the climate movement's A-game, maybe Mother Earth should just take her chances with the fossil fuels. At least we’re not turning her arteries neon green for the ‘gram.

If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me a Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you.

UK home secretary says multiculturalism has "failed"

U.K. Home Secretary Suella Braverman finally admitted this week that multiculturalism has "failed" as illegal aliens continue to flood into the country. She is calling for a second look at the outdated progressive refugee and asylum policies.

Braverman spoke in Washington, D.C. at the American Enterprise Institute and referred to multiculturalism as a "misguided dogma" that has utterly failed to integrate migrants into their new countries and called this haphazard, uncontrolled immigration, "inadequate" integration and multiculturalism had been a "toxic combination" for Europe.

"Multiculturalism makes no demands of the incomer to integrate," Braverman said. This may be why we have seen beheadings, rapes and other lawless behavior from individuals who come from countries where this may be a way of life.

Trump was correct when he said [and I paraphrase] "they don't send us their best,"

"It has failed because it allowed people to come to our society and live parallel lives in it," Braverman said. "They could be in a society, but not of society and, in extreme cases, they could pursue lives aimed at undermining the stability and threatening the security of our society."

She said the consequences could be seen across Europe and in the U.K.

Just this week for example, it was discovered that Germany has been sending migrants that they catch to Italy.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has called for a naval blockade in the Mediterranean Sea to stop migrants coming into Europe through Italy. Now that it was learned what Germany is doing, Meloni may take it a step further.

While the U.K. is no longer part of the European Union, it has been struggling to deal with an increase in migrants arriving in small boats across the English Channel from France. It has passed legislation to detain and deport illegal immigrants who arrive on small boats and is battling to be able to deport illegal immigrants to Rwanda, a move facing a court challenge by virtue signaling dweebs who never have to personally deal with the policies they call for.

Braverman also questioned whether the 1951 U.N. Refugee Convention was fit for the modern age, arguing that migrants shouldn’t be given asylum based on sexuality or gender unless there was "a real risk of death, torture, oppression or violence."

"Where individuals are being persecuted, it is right that we offer sanctuary," she said. "But we will not be able to sustain an asylum system if, in effect, simply being gay, or a woman or fearful of discrimination in your country of origin is sufficient to qualify for protection.

"We are living in a new world bound by outdated legal models," she added, calling the migration surges "an existential challenge" to the West.

Meanwhile, in the U.S., officials have again been overwhelmed by a fresh surge in migrants. In September alone, more than 260,000 migrant encounters occurred--a new monthly record.

Today is Sunday, October 1, 2023 and Joe Biden is still our alleged President.
