Digger Is The Perfect Climate (scam) Movie Or Something

By William Teach October 14, 2026 – 7:15 am

Molly Taft at Wired might have a point

Everyone Hates Digger. It’s the Perfect Climate Movie

Because everyone hates actually Doing Something in their own lives about ‘climate change’? That they’re good with government forcing people to Do Something in theory, but not practice?

Should you see a Looney Tunes–esque satire that stars Tom Cruise in prosthetics portraying a loud caricature of an American oilman, that’s currently on track to be one of the biggest box-office failures of all time?

Absolutely yes—and it’s a movie that rewired my expectations of what a movie about climate change should be. Digger, the critically panned, exorbitantly expensive new film from Alejandro González Iñárritu, calls into question the purpose of art and even the basic purpose of telling the truth in the face of a capitalist machine churning the world toward climate disaster. The deeply uncomfortable film forces audiences to confront what kind of characters we’re the most comfortable making into climate villains. (snip)

The trailers play up the movie as a too-broad-it’s-painful satire of American oilmen and how a Trumpian-inspired religious-right administration would respond to a real climate disaster. Iñárritu, however, lets us in on the secret early: The farce we’re watching is actually a play within the movie, being performed in a theater with a leaky ceiling that keeps losing power. Tom Cruise is not playing Digger Rockwell, but rather an actor playing Digger Rockwell.

We eventually learn that the play, Fossil Fools, depicts events that actually happened some decades ago. From then on, you’re aware that every joke, every villainous portrayal of Digger and the president as Really Bad Guys, is for two audiences: moviegoers in 2026 and theatergoers living in a dystopian future.

Again, even if it wasn’t about ‘climate change’ I wouldn’t bother, because the trailers do not say what the movie is about and aren’t interesting enough to make me want to see it. It seems bombastic and silly, and, look, even Warmists aren’t interested in getting in their fossil fueled vehicles to go see a movie hating on fossil fuels which used a ton of fossil fuels to make.

Five years after a record number of people watched Don’t Look Up, the Trump administration is back in power and has pulled the US out of the Paris Agreement again. The government is gleefully doubling down on “Drill, Baby, Drill.” Tech corporations that in the Don’t Look Up era were touting their goals to cut emissions and even reverse past damage are now walking those back, thanks to the AI boom—which, they promise, will help solve climate change someday. And here I am, typing on my computer, driving a car around that uses fossil fuels.

So, there was zero point to your cult propaganda.

Credentialed Media Butthurt Over Trump Attacking Ilhan Omar

By William Teach October 14, 2026 – 7:00 am

See, it’s all fine and dandy when Democrats attack Trump and Democrats, and perfectly fine to do a raid on Trump’s home, but, not a shady Democrats Islamist

Trump again attacks Rep. Ilhan Omar, a US citizen, over immigration allegations

President Donald Trump again attacked Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar on Tuesday, calling her a “terrible person” a day after federal authorities searched her Washington, D.C.-area residence.

The investigation into Omar — a sitting member of Congress who is up for reelection in just three weeks — relates to her immigration paperwork, sources told ABC News.

Omar, who was first elected to the House in 2018, is the first Somali American in Congress. Born in Somalia, Omar became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2000.

Asked whether he wants to see Omar deported after the Homeland Security Investigation’s search at her residence on Monday, Trump said he doesn’t “take a position” on the matter. It’s not clear whether deportation is on the table for Omar.

“I don’t take a position. I think she’s a terrible person. I think she’s a terrible congresswoman. I don’t think she loves our country at all, but I don’t take a position,” Trump said as he departed the White House Tuesday morning.

I still wonder though, is this actually about her immigration, or about something related to the massive fraud in Minnesota, since she is linked to many of the players? Or maybe fraud at the businesses of her and her husband?

In recent history, the Justice Department’s practice has been to advise prosecutors not to take any overt investigative steps against members of Congress or candidates within 60 days of an election.

Well, maybe there is something that bad? Because, really, she’s in zero danger of losing her seat, not with all the Somalis in her district.

Speaker Mike Johnson weighed in on the search of Omar residence during an interview on Fox News on Tuesday morning, saying “we have to reserve judgment and let the system play out as it does.”

“Maybe the timing’s unfortunate for her or others, but this is the legal system, and it operates independently of the political system. So, we do our jobs, and we let the people decide,” Johnson said.

A judge did sign off on the warrant, and you can bet there had to be some damned good reasons to do it.

Interesting: Massachusetts Looking To End Recreational Marijuana

By William Teach October 13, 2026 – 4:18 pm

It’s wild when the Rule Of Unintended Consequences rears its ugly head

Marijuana Is On The Ballot In 2026. The Debate Has Changed

Ten years after Massachusetts voters legalized recreational marijuana, they’re being asked to reverse course. Meanwhile, voters in Idaho and Houston will weigh in on who gets to decide marijuana policy and how existing laws should be enforced.

The November 3 election offers an interesting snapshot of how the marijuana debate is changing. And for employers, the results could have implications for everything from workplace accommodations to drug testing and criminal background checks.

Massachusetts voters approved recreational marijuana in 2016, and the industry has grown considerably since then. In September, the state’s Cannabis Control Commission reported that recreational marijuana businesses had surpassed $10 billion in cumulative sales.

Now, voters are being asked whether to dismantle that market.

Question 8 would eliminate recreational marijuana sales, the associated tax and regulatory framework, and home cultivation. Adults 21 and older could still possess up to one ounce, subject to limits on concentrates, without penalties. Medical marijuana would remain legal.

Why? That’s $10 billion. Is the state not getting enough money?

Supporters point to concerns about youth access, impaired driving, mental health, and the commercialization of cannabis. They argue that the regulated market has brought consequences voters didn’t fully anticipate in 2016.

Well, everyone opposed told them the consequences. Hell, even those in support told them. Personally, again, I could care less. I don’t do it, haven’t touched in at least 15 years. I just stopped enjoying it. I think one problem is that it is so much more powerful these days and available in so many different ways. It’s not like when we would roll a joint, smoke a bowl, or do some bong hits and get a good buzz going, and every once in a while get the strong stuff and get stoned. Mostly it was just a good buzz.

Anyhow, are those things enough to spike all but medical marijuana? Can they crack down on the kiddies using it? We could get it in high school, but, wasn’t that easy, and there were no gummies and cookies and this and that, nor vapes. BTW, the yutes are going to get alcohol. People will drive impaired. Mental and physical health issues. Yet, no one is talking about eliminating it.

Opponents warn that eliminating recreational sales could push consumers toward illicit markets, eliminate tax revenue, and threaten businesses and jobs.

People are surely getting from illicit markets already, as we’ve seen with California and Colorado.

While Massachusetts voters reconsider a legalization decision made a decade ago, Idaho voters will decide who gets to make that decision in the future.

House Joint Resolution 4 would amend the state constitution to give the legislature exclusive authority to legalize marijuana, narcotics, and other psychoactive substances. Citizens could no longer use ballot initiatives to legalize those substances.

I’m 100% against this. The GOP runs the general assembly in full, and should not be doing this.

Democrats Turn On Kamala 2028

By William Teach October 13, 2026 – 10:30 am

On one hand

Report: Kamala Harris ‘Lays Groundwork’ for 2028 Campaign

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is laying the groundwork for a third presidential campaign, speaking with major donors, hiring staff, and traveling to battleground states, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

The former vice president has told associates she remains undecided on another White House run, but she has taken steps that could precede a 2028 bid, the Journal reported, citing multiple people familiar with the conversations.

Harris has publicly tied her plans to the November midterms, telling a NAACP event in Michigan last month that the next cycle depends on this one.

“I have not decided if I’m going to run again,” Harris said, drawing a lengthy standing ovation. “I do sincerely believe ‘28 won’t matter if we don’t get through ‘26.”

But, then we get this from Politico

‘She totally blew it’: How Kamala Harris wasted a year to make her case

Kamala Harris has kept the door open to running for president again in 2028. What she failed to do over the past year, even one-time supporters and allies of the former vice president say, is give voters a reason to reconsider her if she does.

For Harris, according to interviews with nearly 20 Democratic Party donors and strategists in California and across the country, it was a missed opportunity to redefine herself — and ultimately a wasted year.

“She totally blew it,” said Doug Herman, who was a lead mail strategist for Barack Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns. “She hasn’t gotten into the mix.”

Harris has offered voters almost nothing in the way of specifics about how she would remake a Democratic Party hungry for change after another term of Donald Trump. She hasn’t spoken to how she would expand her own appeal to the voters who rejected her and she remains as reticent of media as ever, continuing to favor appearances before friendly audiences and at times drawing fire for shutting out news organizations altogether. She has entirely sidestepped the ideological civil war consuming the Democrats and has acted more like a party elder at a time when voters and donors are demanding a break with the past.

When a leading Democrat run political news outlet like Politico runs this that is pretty darned bad, especially when it is big wigs, both money and politically, in the Democrat party poo pooing her chances. Knowing they do not want to give her money and help. Because what does Kamala stand for? She blew two previous primaries, and dropped out of the 2020 race when it had barely started. Is there anyone clamoring for her to run? I think most want her to go away. Including the Democrat big wigs.

Who would be the front runner, though?

Atlanta Jumps In On The Climate Week Scam

By William Teach October 13, 2026 – 7:15 am

How many attendees will be taking fossil fueled trips to attend? And, seriously, this is Atlanta: have you seen the traffic there, all those fossil fueled vehicles slowly moving during rush hour? The airports? The stadiums? All the things to see and do?

Atlanta kicks off inaugural Climate Week to discuss climate change’s impact on region

Atlanta has officially launched its first-ever Climate Week, gathering environmental leaders, civic officials, and advocates across the region to confront the growing realities of climate change and discuss tangible solutions.

From rising temperatures to historic flash flooding, officials note that climate impacts are no longer a distant threat. According to data referenced from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), extreme weather conditions are actively shaping the current forecast.

One focus of the inaugural event is amplifying environmental education through unexpected cultural avenues, including hip-hop.

Atlanta’s Grammy-nominated hip-hop duo, EARTHGANG, stepped into the conversation fresh off their second visit to the United Nations, where they addressed the ongoing global climate crisis. Known for weaving environmental themes into their work, the duo took their appreciation for the outdoors a step further in their latest project by integrating the natural sounds of Georgia’s native wildlife and insects, including cicadas, directly into their music.

“To love Atlanta is to love nature. We are the city in the forest,” EARTHGANG’s Eian “Doc” Parker said.

OK, well, how much money are Atlanta citizens willing to be taxed/fee’d to pay for this? How much loss of life choices? Let me know, guys.

LOL: Illegals At Georgia Detention Center Go On Hunger Strike Over Conditions

By William Teach October 13, 2026 – 7:00 am

You know how they could avoid what they call “bad conditions” (which aren’t, it’s all made up to create sympathy): leave the U.S.

Approximately 500 participate in hunger strike at Folkston immigration detention center

Approximately 500 people in a Coastal Georgia immigration detention center are on a hunger strike, protesting conditions at the facility as well as what they say are violations of asylum protocols by U.S. authorities, according to family members and legal representatives.

Samantha Hamilton, senior litigation staff attorney at Asian Americans Advancing Justice Atlanta (AAAJ), said most of the people participating in the civil disobedience came to the United States seeking asylum from authoritarian and repressive national governments. The hunger strikers say they were following the legal process for their immigration claims, yet have been at the privately run Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Folkston for months or years awaiting judicial hearings.

Horseshit. Most came here for all the free stuff the Democrats promised them. No one said they couldn’t or wouldn’t be held until such time as their (BS) asylum claims were adjudicated. And how much “civil disobedience” is it when you refuses to eat? Have fun

The hunger strike is the latest controversy at the Charlton County facility, which is run by The GEO Group and, despite numerous complaints about unsafe conditions, is expanding to become the largest ICE detention center in the nation.

“There’s nothing illegal about seeking asylum. There’s nothing illegal about seeking sanctuary,” said Hamilton. “So this is just the natural next step in a long-time struggle of people being detained at this facility.”

Maybe not, but, there’s nothing in the law that says they cannot be detained until such time as said claims go through the system, at which time 10% or less are approved, and the rest get sent home.

“Some of us have been detained for months. Some people have been here for years. We are not serving criminal sentences. We are asking the United States for protection,” one of the detainees said in an audio recording obtained by The Current GA. “We are afraid that what inspectors see will not show how we normally live. We have serious concerns about the food, sleep conditions, medical care, and the length of our detention.”

Then tell ICE you want to leave the US. They’ll give you some money and a free flight out. It is that easy.

Aussie Climate Officials Face Drastic Cuts, AI Replacing Them

By William Teach October 12, 2026 – 3:37 pm

It seems to be getting to a spot where even unhinged Warmists governments like Australia are moving away from the doomsday cult, perhaps realizing that it is no longer working to implement soft Fascism on the peasants with scary tactics. And it’s just too damned expensive

Australia’s climate change officials face drastic cuts and AI efficiencies

Australia’s climate change bureaucrats were urged to cut up to 30% of their internal budgets, and hit AI-driven efficiencies of up to 3% a year, to preserve the department’s ability to deliver its highest priorities.

In a May 2026 review of priorities, the government’s internal consulting unit called for climate change executives to impose a levy of between 5% and 30% to “policy group budgets” as a matter of “immediate fiscal imperative.”

“The proposed approach requires all groups to contribute to a central funding pool that is reallocated to the highest departmental priorities,” according to the Australian Government Consulting report, seen by POLITICO.

The review exposes the intensity of funding pressures at the department, which was hit with cuts of 188 million Australian dollars in the 2026 federal budget. The department is expected to cut funding to
$747 million in 2028-29, down from $1.09 billion this financial year.

Not that I want them to keep spending all that stupid money, but, seriously, if they cut the graft, waste, and abuse out of the spending they would easily have the money to do the things they want to do even at that reduced funding. But, you know, they have spread the money around to friends, family, NGOs, and others, who all take a big cut to do almost nothing.

The department said some of the cuts reflect the end of projects such as the COP31 climate conference, and the transfer of funding to the newly established National Environmental Protection Agency.

COP 31 is in Turkey, so, um, what? Perhaps they could stop spending so much on a scam and actually use it to help real environmental concerns.

Unsurprising: “Pro-Palestinian” Mobs Want Israel Erased

By William Teach October 12, 2026 – 10:30 am

I think most of us already know destroying Israel is the actual agenda, but, perhaps some of those hanger-ons, just out there being Part Of Something who do not really know better will finally realize that their Left-Islamist coalition are actually unhinged nutters, so this is worth repeating, especially since they are doing it a few days after the anniversary of the Hamas attack on Jewish civilians

Quiet part out loud: Anti-Israel mobs want one state called ‘Palestine,’ erasing Israel

This weekend, millions of anti-Israel activists marched through the streets of cities in coordinated actions from America’s capital to London, Paris, Madrid and Kuala Lumpar, Malaysia, chanting the familiar refrains of “Free, free Palestine” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

But for the first time, communicated frankly in exclusive interviews with Fox News Digital, three anti-Israel leaders acknowledged the goal: one state called “Palestine” encompassing modern-day Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, with a Palestinian “right of return” to the new country and equal political, voting and citizenship rights for Palestinians alongside Jews currently living in Israel.

Most significantly, in the political vision they described, Israel would legally cease to exist as a separate Jewish nation-state and Jews would be quickly overwhelmed demographically.

The candor of the anti-Israel leaders lays bare the political conclusion of an argument that activists have spent years advancing on the streets, through sympathetic media outlets and in legal forums: that Israel is a “settler colonial” state practicing “apartheid” and “genocide,” and therefore should not continue to exist in its current form as a Jewish state. Israeli leaders have fiercely rejected those allegations, disputing accusations of “genocide” and “apartheid” and maintaining that Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people with equal civil and political rights for citizens that include Jews, Christians and Muslims.

Advocates for Israel note that the nation’s critics rarely apply the same historical lens of human-rights analysis to Arab and Muslim-majority states, many of which emerged from the collapse of empires, wars and population upheavals that displaced millions, including Jews expelled from their countries, today often restricting political, religious and minority rights.

Yes, they do want Israel gone and replaced. The Useful Idiots on the political left do not get that the Islamists want it erased with an Islamist caliphate. And all Jews killed. When they cosplay with their Intifada Keffiyeh and chant “from the river to the sea” that’s what it means. And all the Israel hate as pushed by the Islamists, especially those Muslim Brotherhood backed groups like the Muslim Student Association on campus and some leading individuals, morphs (intentionally, that’s what the MB wants) into Jew hatred. Will anyone of the Comrades get it and walk away, or, are they too brainwashed?

In New York City, the Party for Socialism and Liberation circulated video of protesters marching through the streets chanting: “1-2-3-4. Occupation no more. 5-6-7-8. Israel is a terrorist state.”

Then came the point: “We don’t want no two state!”

In London, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign promoted a 15-second video of a woman with a megaphone shouting: “There is only one state!”

Again, this is nothing new, they’ve been doing this crap for a long time, but, especially since the terror attack by Hamas. It always is worth repeating to highlight the insanity.
