Quickie: UN Climate Is Gender, Goodbye Kamala

By William Teach November 23, 2024 – 4:28 pm

It’s always something with this cult

So, we should take all the petroleum based makeup and fashion away from women?

That is brutal. I have to think the Biden folks did this on purpose, what with her losing and Joe holding a grudge over the coup.

WWIII Watch: Ukraine Urges Strong Response From West Over Russian Missile Attack

By William Teach November 23, 2024 – 10:30 am

Um, exactly what does Zelensky want the West to do?

Tensions grow as Russia unveils new hypersonic missiles

It’s been another day of tensions running high as Ukraine renewed its appeal for a “strong response” from the West to Russia’s ongoing hostility.

Ukrainian President Volodymir Zelensky kicked off the day warning Russia remains uninterested in peace, describing the use of a new type of missiles in Dnipro yesterday as a “clear and severe escalation”.

While Russian leader Vladimir Putin said the new projectile – codenamed Oreshnik – had been deployed in response to Ukraine using US and UK-provided missiles to strike targets inside Russia.

Nato insisted the attack in Dnipro will “neither change the course of the conflict or deter” the alliance’s support to Kyiv.

But Hungarian PM Viktor Orban said the West should take Putin’s warning – including the claim Russia has a stock of missiles “ready to be used” – at “face value”.

Again, what does Zelensky want the West to do? Get directly involved? Start shooting missiles at Russia?

Moscow feels that it’s made a point, showing that Britain and America’s decisions to allow Ukraine to use their weapons on Russian territory won’t go unanswered.

Of course, since western weapons have been long used in plenty of other places that Moscow regards as sovereign Russian territory, from Crimea to the Donbas, this is hardly a new point.

But it’s also made a performative gesture with nuclear overtones, using an experimental, medium-range ballistic missile with multiple warheads. (snip)

But the site has been hit many times and any physical damage inflicted yesterday is probably secondary to the message it sends to Ukraine and the West.

That Moscow is still capable of matching escalation with escalation.

Well, that sounds….disturbing

Seriously, Is Biden Trying To Start WWIII To Get Even With Trump?

A mentally challenged President Joe Biden turned 82 years old this week, a much-diminished man from his heyday as a Democratic Party Senate stalwart in the last century. But one part of his character is undimmed by the passage of the years: His legendary spite and gleeful willingness to betray his political foes.

Knowing this, is he now about to set off a third world war to settle an election score with newly re-elected President Donald Trump, who Biden still calls an “existential threat” to America?

We’re talking of course of Biden’s inexplicably dangerous decision to encourage Ukraine to use long-range U.S. missiles against Russian territory, which has already prompted a response from Russia in the form of a missile barrage against Ukraine.

Biden’s also approving antipersonnel mines for use against Russian forces, along with sending yet another $237 million in military aid and forgiving $5 billion in loans.

It makes no sense at all, unless you see it as a way of showing he still has the reins of government firmly in hand, and wants to hand Trump a nasty, dangerous mess as he takes the oath of office on Jan. 20, 2025.

Well, it makes sense if Biden (and many others) is still getting lots of graft money from Ukraine. How much of that US taxpayer money is coming back to Joe’s pocket? Anyhow, escalation has been occurring since the war started, making it harder and harder to find a way to find a way to have peace. For there to be some sort of accommodation. The missiles make it even harder. And Biden has always been the type of politician who holds a grudge. So does Dr. Jill. Hence their treatment of Kamala Harris. Don’t be surprised if Biden amps up the US response and help in Ukraine.

Awesome: Trump Energy Pick Is A Big Fan Of Fossil Fuels, Think They’re Great At Eliminating Poverty

By William Teach November 23, 2024 – 7:00 am

Sounds like a perfect pick

Trump energy pick wrote ESG report hailing oil, gas, downplaying climate worry

President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the energy department believes fossil fuels are the key to ending world poverty which, he says, is a greater problem than climate change’s “distant” threat, according to a report he penned as CEO of oilfield services company Liberty Energy

In a corporate report released in February called ‘Bettering Human Lives,’ Chris Wright said that the energy transition has not begun and that climate change, while a challenge, is not the greatest threat to humans.

Poverty is a bigger threat that can be alleviated with access to hydrocarbons, said Wright, who started a foundation aimed at expanding propane cook stoves in developing countries.

Mainstream science conflicts with many opinions of the incoming top U.S. energy official, who will likely be zealous to carry out Trump’s agenda, maximizing already record-high domestic oil and gas production and withdrawing from international cooperation to avoid catastrophic climate change.

“Mainstream science” has been continuously wrong about ‘climate change’, and those same “mainstream scientists” use quite a bit of fossil fuels themselves. There’s nothing better for lifting people out of poverty than affordable, dependable, easily obtained energy, which is fossil fuels.

“The vibes will be better for the oil and gas industry,” Morgan Bazilian, director of the Payne Institute at the Colorado School of Mines, said in an interview, adding the industry felt attacked by President Joe Biden’s climate policies.

Bazilian called Wright “a perfect example of this. He’s been outspoken on how the oil and gas industry has brought security and power and development to the United States, which is true. The other thing that’s true is that global emissions aren’t going down.”

You’d think that all those Warmists giving up their own use of fossil fuels would make a difference, right?

Denver Mayor Goes All In On Protecting Illegal Alien Criminals From Trump

By William Teach November 23, 2024 – 6:45 am

What Tom Holman said to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu “I will suggest she reads Title 8, United States Code 1324 III, which says you can’t harbor or conceal an illegal alien from federal law enforcement officers” applies to Denver Mayor Mike Johnson as well

Democrat Denver Mayor Vows Mass Resistance, Police Blockades Against Trump’s Migration Mandate

Denver’s Democrat Mayor is promising to use the city’s police and to organize private citizen demonstrators to block the enforcement of federal immigration laws in his city.

“More than us having [Denver police] stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,” Mayor Mike Johnston said.

“It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment,” he exclaimed, comparing Trump’s enforcement promise to  China’s government’s 1989 massacre of Chinese democracy advocates.

Apparently fashioning himself as some sort of modern-day John C. Calhoun, Johnston says that he will press the city police department and “community volunteers” into his own little confederate army to take up the fight against ICE officials.

Johnston insisted that he is not going to give up his sanctuary city policies and won’t be “bullied” by the incoming Trump administration.

“We’re not going to sell out those values to anyone,” Johnston told the Denverite, according to Fox News. “We’re not going to be bullied into changing them.”

Denver is expected to hit a spending plateau of $90 million by the end of 2024. Even city council members have noted crime hotspots linked to the “migrants” shipped to Denver. The city and the surrounding towns are dealing with many members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which, if memory serves, threatened to attack Denver police officers.

A big question is “will the Denver PD cooperate with Mayor Johnson?” This is the same PD which was “defunded” to pay for illegal aliens. Or will they cooperate, or, at least look the other way when ICE and other federal agents swoop in to arrest the murderers, rapists, gang members, and other criminals? Like this guy

Venezuelan migrant arrested in Colorado for allegedly sexually assaulting boss’ 14-year-old daughter: report
Jesus Alberto Pereira Castillo was tracked down in Denver, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says

A Venezuelan migrant is accused of sexually assaulting the 14-year-old daughter of his employer in Colorado while living in the basement of his home, police and reports say.

Jesus Alberto Pereira Castillo had crossed into the U.S. illegally in El Paso, Texas in September 2023 before being released by the Border Patrol, Homeland Security sources told the New York Post. He was taken into custody in Denver on Tuesday.

Is this the hill you want to die on, Mayor Johnson?

Good News: They’re Playing Climate (scam) Board Games At COP29

By William Teach November 22, 2024 – 3:00 pm

I’m not seeing much difference between their computer models and the board games, as both are meant to portray Doom

Here’s what happened when experts at COP29 played a climate change board game

Activists and experts who are pushing world leaders to save an overheating planet learned it’s not so easy, even in a simulated world.

The Associated Press brought the board game Daybreak to the United Nations climate negotiations in Baku, Azerbaijan. Experts from three countries were asked to play the game, which involves players working together to curb climate change, caused by the release of greenhouse gas emissions when fuels like gasoline, natural gas and coal are burned. The goal of the game is to prevent the world from getting too hot or overrun by devastating extreme weather events.

Three times activists, analysts and reporters took turns being the United States, China, Europe and the rest of the world, coping with weather disasters, trying to reduce emissions with projects like wetlands restoration and fighting fossil fuel interests, all according to the cards dealt. (snip)

In each game, the temperature went beyond the limit that the world set in the 2015 Paris Agreement: 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) since preindustrial times, roughly the mid-1800s. Technically, the game isn’t lost until a temperature rise of 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) is reached. However, 1.5 degrees has been ingrained as a threshold in climate circles, so the shoulders of players drooped in defeat when their fictional world blew past it.

Sadly, the game doesn’t have a category for climate cultists giving up their own use of fossil fuels and living a Net Zero lifestyle. Or how 40K taking fossil fueled trips to a climate conference is a bad thing

“How did that happen? It happened so quickly,” said Borami Seo, head of food and agriculture at Solutions for Our Climate in South Korea. She purposely chose Europe, arguably the world leader in climate policy and financial aid, so she would be in a position to help the rest of the world.

She couldn’t.

“I thought this game was supposed to give us hope. I’m not gaining any hope,” Seo said in a voice somewhere between curiosity and frustration.

The game itself is described throughout the cult propaganda piece, and it goes all into negotiations on all sorts of things, like slapping down farmers, local projects, forcing Other People onto public transportation, and getting into negotiations for redistributing money and all sorts of things, but, nothing about practicing what you preach. Just on forcing everyone else to comply. This is not about science, it’s about authoritarian politics.

Surprise: Biden Starts Going Squishy On Illegals After Election

By William Teach November 22, 2024 – 10:30 am

When Biden-Harris started cracking down on illegal immigration before the election you knew it was an election year stunt, and had to know that things would change after the election, regardless of who won, right?

Biden admin quietly loosening immigration policies before Trump takes office — including letting migrants skip ICE check-ins in NYC

The Biden administration is quietly rushing to implement new policies that will loosen restrictions on migrants who entered the US illegally — a parting attempt to thwart President-elect Donald Trump’s immigration crackdowns and mass deportations, sources tell The Post.

And the Big Apple will be ground zero for these changes.

The outgoing administration intends to launch an ICE Portal app starting in early December in New York City that will allow migrants to bypass in-person check-ins to their local ICE office.

Homeland Security sources tell The Post the app will make it easier for migrants to flee authorities in part because the software has proven to be glitchy and unreliable.

Even when it’s working correctly, the new app doesn’t check for past arrests or outstanding warrants — something the current system tied to in-person appointments does, sources said.

Well, it’s not like the Biden-Harris admin is really deporting those people, as well as the gang members, when they’re found out. They just ship them to another city.

That’s just one of a handful of initiatives being pushed through before inauguration day — including allowing migrants to contest government orders to undergo electronic tracking while they await their immigration appointments.

And experts said rolling back the policies might not be as simple as Trump waving his pen, because changes could be subject to both procedural hurdles and legal challenges.

All those suits jam up the system, slowing it down.

The app hasn’t worked on Android phones and when used on a laptop for check-ins, it doesn’t collect the GPS location of a participant — meaning they could be reporting in from anywhere, according to the sources.

When it is used on a phone, the app only shares the location of the subject for seven days.

So they could be anywhere.

I wonder when Biden-Harris reverses his remain in Mexico policy?

Experts Recommend You Avoid Using Heat In Your EV

By William Teach November 22, 2024 – 7:00 am

I have a memory of someone for a big outlet reviewing the old Chevy Volt and complaining that her toes were frozen because she didn’t want to turn the heat on as that would significantly reduce the range. Now we learn (again) from the UK Telegraph as cold weather is hitting the UK and winter is coming

Think twice about using hot air blower during cold snap, electric drivers warned

Drivers of electric vehicles (EVs) have been warned they should think twice before turning on their hot air blowers during the cold weather.

Having a battery rather than an internal combustion engine (ICE) means EVs have to use more electricity to generate their own heat.

Experts have warned this could drain the batteries of their electric cars – particularly older ones – and reduce their range.

Unlike with petrol and diesel cars, owners of EVs do not get to enjoy the luxury of the “effectively free” heat which is created as a by-product of simply having the engine running in ICE vehicles.

Instead, they have to use a “more substantial” amount of battery capacity to keep warm, which decreases how far they can drive.

The warning comes as Britons brace themselves for snow, rain and gusts of 70mph in the form of Storm Bert this weekend.

Sounds great! The UK government is trying to force all their serfs, er, citizens into EVs and saying “don’t use the heat” while also making it more difficult and expensive to hear their homes and businesses. Of course, you know the people forcing this on the peasants aren’t doing it themselves. Their fossil fueled limos are probably nice and toasty.

What happens when the windshield is iced over? And snow all over the body? Using heat for defrost? Anyhow, it’s not as big a deal here in the U.S. since our energy costs are much lower, but, good luck with long road trips in the winter.

Trump Nominates Pam Bondi For AG After Gaetz Steps Aside

By William Teach November 22, 2024 – 6:45 am

While Matt Gaetz certainly would have been someone who would have taken a chainsaw to the Department Of Justice and their politicization, Pam Bondi is a better choice

President-elect Trump announces Pam Bondi as his new pick for US attorney general

President-elect Trump announced Thursday evening that he’s nominating a former attorney general of Florida as the next attorney general of the United States.

Trump’s latest Cabinet pick replaces Matt Gaetz, the former Florida representative and nominee for attorney general, who on Thursday withdrew as Trump’s pick for the top prosecutor after the “distraction” his nomination had caused due to a swirl of allegations about paying underage women for sex.

“Pam was a prosecutor for nearly 20 years, where she was very tough on Violent Criminals, and made the streets safe for Florida Families,” Trump wrote in his announcement. “Then, as Florida’s first female Attorney General, she worked to stop the trafficking of deadly drugs, and reduce the tragedy of Fentanyl Overdose Deaths, which have destroyed many families across our Country. She did such an incredible job, that I asked her to serve on our Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission during my first Term — We saved many lives!

“For too long, the partisan Department of Justice has been weaponized against me and other Republicans – Not anymore. Pam will refocus the DOJ to its intended purpose of fighting Crime, and Making America Safe Again,” he continued. “I have known Pam for many years — She is smart and tough, and is an AMERICA FIRST Fighter, who will do a terrific job as Attorney General!”

The Democrats hate this choice, because she very much has experience, knowledge, and capability. Oh, and it will be tougher for them to play their games because she’s a woman, though, Democrats sure tried when she was the AG of Florida. They had a national hatred of her. Of course, no matter who Trump picked the Democrats would be against them. Now, the question is “will any Republican Senators get squishy?”
