Air Conditioning? It’s Illegal!

Original Article

Britain is in even worse shape than I thought. From the Telegraph: “Air conditioning torn from homes under net zero clampdown.” Homeowners are being forced to tear out air conditioning from their private properties under climate laws, despite rising temperatures. Council planning officers ordered residents to remove air-con units over fears they produce too much carbon dioxide, stating they should only be used as a “last resort”. The net zero clampdown is part of building regulations that state “active cooling” should only ever be allowed when all other means of “passive cooling”, such as opening windows or using fans, have been exhausted. So whether you can air condition your home

Returned from a trip to find a 90° house (Florida) and a broken AC. Almost an unlivable situation. I'm sure the lawmakers in GB have their AC cranked low.

What good is using AC only as a 'last resort' if you've already removed it? The language of lies and control.

The best way to fight climate change are tax credits for central air and heating systems. By doing so, the climate inside is 72 degrees, regardless if the temperature outside is cold or hot.

I once read an article that went something like this: In the years before air conditioning, Congress took a yearly recess to avoid the swampy heat of Washington D.C. Once air conditioning arrived, Congress was able to stay during the summer, thereby enabling legislative mischief year-round.

Fun fact: Fans make a surface feel cooler. At the same time they add heat to the surrounding air. The motor gives off significant heat, the friction and compression of the air heats it, and the heat pulled off of surfaces is added to the air. Put the fan in a window facing out. Hang towels with the bottoms in a pail of water in other windows, or in front of a fan facing toward you in a room with an open window. Swamp coolers are best in the driest climates. Air conditioners take the heat out of a closed area and put it on the outside, along with the heat of the energy used to do that. Insulation is your friend with AC.

The British (brutish) overlords are just trying to make their illegal invaders feel more at home. As a bonus they are hoping to cut Co2 emissions by letting their British born serfs die from the heat. Win/win for the forces of darkness.

It was Soros or one of his colleagues (Maurice Strong?) who bemoaned the affluent American middle class as an impediment to their plans. Among our sins: we have too much autonomy, we eat too much meat and we have AIR CONDITIONED homes, workplaces and cars. These things will never do. To which I say... something I cannot put in writing here.

Random thoughts: 1) I lived in England for 6 years. Only needed A/C for about 10 days total in that time. Natural sunblock provided by plenty of clouds. 2) The late Washington State Gov Dixy Lee Ray predicted this in her 1993 book "Environmental Overkill: What Happened To Common Sense?". I recall reading it and thinking, 'This is insane. How could anyone want to get rid of air conditioning?' 3) The idea of swamp coolers is passable in dry places like New Mexico and Arizona. Anywhere else is a bad idea.

The company formerly known as Dominion Voting Systems is ending a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Mike Lindell, the MyPillow magnate and President Trump ally who has promoted false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. Dominion sued the businessman in 2021, alleging that Lindell knew there was no evidence to support his election conspiracy theories, but used the lies to sell pillows. When he was sued, Lindell told WCCO's Esme Murphy that he was "very happy" about the lawsuit, saying the truth would come out. In October 2025, Dominion was acquired by St. Louis-based Liberty Vote, which was founded by former Republican elections director Scott Leiendecker.

The U.S. Supreme Court voted 6–3 on June 25 to strike down a Hawaii gun law that banned residents from carrying concealed weapons in privately owned public places, such as gas stations and shopping malls. The majority opinion in Wolford v. Lopez was authored by Justice Samuel Alito. Justices Elena Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Sonia Sotomayor dissented in the case, which was closely watched by gun rights advocates. Alito said the Second Amendment “has the same meaning in all parts of the United States.” “It cannot give way to ‘the spirit of Aloha’ in Hawaii … any more than it can yield to the spirit of the Big Apple …

Since Islam’s arrival upon the world stage 1,400 years ago, when an illiterate Arab by the name of Mohammad, born in Mecca, claimed to be a messenger sent by God (whom he called “Allah”) to spread Allah’s word, approximately 270 million human beings have been slaughtered in Islam’s and Allah’s name, according to the Center for the Study of Political Islam. (Approximately 120 million Africans, 80 million Hindus, 60 million Christians, and 10 million Buddhists.) Until fairly recently, Westerners were unfamiliar with Islam or its practitioners.

James Talarico wants Texans to believe he's a man of faith, a true Christian believer that Texans of all stripes can feel comfortable supporting. Unearthed audio suggests otherwise, and it’s a campaign killer, believe me. Talarico, the Democrat nominee facing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in November's Senate race, has spent months trying to sell Texans on his Christian faith. But his past words have muddied that message. Talarico has previously claimed "God is nonbinary," argued that the bible sanctioned abortion, and described surgically altering the bodies of gender-confused children as an expression of God's love.

The New York City Rent Guidelines Board approved Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s key campaign promise to “freeze the rent” on Thursday — in a move landlord advocates slammed as “an absolute farce.” The board passed a rent freeze on both one-year and two-year leases for the Big Apple’s roughly 1 million rent-stabilized units in a 7-1 vote. Arpit Gupta, an appointee of Mamdani’s predecessor Eric Adams, was the one no vote. It came hours after the public resignation of one of the RGB’s nine members, Christina Smyth, who accused the panel of ignoring its own data during the lengthy process to decide whether to adjust rents —

An illegal alien has been sentenced to eight years in federal prison for his involvement in an $89 million fraudulent payroll scheme that saw illegal alien construction workers and their employers evade taxes. “Today, we held an illegal alien from Honduras accountable for a brazen scheme that stole more than $38 million from American taxpayers to facilitate the employment of illegal aliens,” Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald said. “This case exposes how unchecked illegal immigration fuels widespread payroll tax fraud and underground economies that harm American workers and taxpayers,” McDonald said. “This sentence sends a strong message: Those who exploit our open borders, cheat the U.S. Treasury, and violate federal laws
