This Winter Storm Is Not Natural Or Something

By William Teach January 24, 2026 – 7:00 am

They really can’t help themselves, and this probably doesn’t help calm them down

That caused a whole bunch of unhinged articles from the Credentialed Media.

Winter storm doesn’t disprove climate change, despite Trump’s claim. Scientists explain why.

It’s the same old same old, which gets repeated here

‘This is not natural’: VCU expert links climate change to intensifying Virginia winter storms

A Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) expert says climate change is intensifying winter storms ahead of this weekend’s snow and ice storm. (snip)

A VCU professor in the School of Life Sciences and Sustainability warns that climate change may be intensifying the system and increasing the risk of widespread power outages.

8News spoke with Vickie Connors, a professor with the VCU School of Life Sciences and Sustainability, about how warming in the Arctic is influencing winter weather patterns in Virginia.

Connors said rising temperatures in the Arctic are allowing more heat and moisture to enter the atmosphere, hurting circulation patterns that usually keep cold air contained near the North Pole. (snip)

“This is not natural,” Connors emphasized. “If we didn’t have this excess amount of gases, like CO2 and methane and in our atmosphere, we would be seeing a pretty respectable polar ice cap, and we would have snow pack that’s older than five years.”

Sigh.

Climate Change Won’t Make Winter Storms Less Deadly
In some ways, fossil fuels make snowstorms like the one currently bearing down on the U.S. even more dangerous.

The relationship between fossil fuels and severe weather is often presented as a cause-and-effect: Burning coal, oil, and gas for heat and energy forces carbon molecules into a reaction with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide, which in turn traps heat in the atmosphere and gradually warms our planet. That imbalance, in many cases, makes the weather more extreme.

But this relationship also goes the other way: We use fossil fuels to make ourselves more comfortable — and in some cases, keep us alive — during extreme weather events. Our dependence on oil and gas creates a grim ouroboros: As those events get more extreme, we need more fuel.

This weekend, some 200 million Americans will be cranking up the thermostats in their natural-gas-heated homes, firing up their propane generators, or hitting icy roads in their combustion-engine cars as a major winter storm brings record-low temperatures to 35 states, knocks out power, and grinds air travel to a halt.

See? You using fossil fuels makes winter more winter.

LOL: Minnesota Moonbats Go On “Strike” To Protect Illegal Aliens

By William Teach January 24, 2026 – 6:45 am

This is the type of stupid up there with the celebs singing that we’re all in this together to the tune of John Lennon’s “Imagine” and burning down their own neighborhoods post-George “Fentanyl” Floyd

‘Enough Is Enough’: Hundreds of Minnesota Businesses Take Stand Against ICE

A temperature of around minus 10 degrees on Friday did little to slow protests around the Twin Cities, with businesses closing, workers and students staying home, and demonstrators demanding that federal immigration agents depart.

The general strike across many businesses and industries was the most widespread protest since federal immigration agents arrived more than six weeks ago to conduct sweeps that have been cheered by some and sparked outrage in others.

“It’s tense and emotional, and folks are hurting,” said Bishop Dwayne Royster, the executive director of Faith in Action, which helped organize the effort. Minnesotans, he said, are demonstrating “deep resilience and willingness to stand together in ways I haven’t seen folks do in a very long time.”

It wasn’t just Minnesotans, however, on Friday who came out. Hundreds demonstrated at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, some from as far away as New York, flitting in and out of one of its terminals, trying to stay warm.

How are folks hurting? Does arresting illegal alien rapists, murderers, and child molesters hurt them?

In neighborhoods around Minneapolis, many businesses and shops sat empty, with some posting signs in their windows expressing solidarity,

In St. Paul, Roots Roasting had an orange sign announcing their closure. “General strike,” it read. “No work, no school, no shopping, ICE out.”

Down the street, Spyhouse Coffee, part of a local chain, had a handwritten sign announcing its closure to “stand in solidarity with our community and other businesses.” The same was true for just about every coffee mainstay in the Twin Cities.

So, let me get this straight: the dipshits are protesting in favor of illegal aliens by not working, closing their own business, stopping commerce in a very liberal city? Who do they think they’re hurting? Do they understand they’re screwing themselves?

100 clergy arrested at airport protest as Minnesotans strike against ICE

Roughly 100 clergy were arrested without incident during a protest against deportation flights at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport on Friday, as an economic protest of the Trump administration’s immigration operations in Minnesota shuttered hundreds of businesses in the Twin Cities.

Organizers of the action, dubbed ICE Out of Minnesota: Day of Truth and Freedom, have called for residents to boycott work, school and shopping. The goal, said Ruth Kashmark, who closed her bar Friday to participate, is to demonstrate that “this is what the world’s going to look like if you take our hardworking neighbors away.”

These same clergy who are protecting illegal alien criminals certainly do not seem to stand up for Christian principles much. Would they do this to denounce abortion on demand?

Fans Who Made Girl Group Rich Upset They Act Like They’re Rich

By William Teach January 23, 2026 – 3:37 pm

I have no idea who this is, except I’m sure it involves a lot of autone in the studio and Memorex on stage

Girl group ignites backlash after recently surfaced photo unveils shocking activity: ‘This rubbed me the wrong way’

Enjoying the fruits of your labor is a perfectly natural reaction for anyone who has spent blood, sweat, and tears on a project. However, for critics of the girl group Katseye, seeing the musicians living it up aboard a private jet left a sour taste in their mouths.

In a social media post, Katseye member Manon Bannerman shared a picture of the group having fun on the luxury aircraft. It created quite a stir among one Reddit community as members pointed out the disparity of lifestyles between the pop stars and their fans.

“This is so pathetic. Fly commercial. This just shows the true gap between fans and these girls. These girls are so privileged it’s embarrassing for fans to even defend them,” the original poster wrote.

Privileged? They’re rich. And looking them up on Twitter you get exactly the kind of sexualizing themselves you’d expect.

“The average fan worldwide can barely even afford a commercial ticket or to attend one of their shows,” one person noted.

According to a report by the International Council on Clean Transportation, private jets are one of the leading causes of air pollution. Since they often carry a limited number of passengers, their fuel usage is a primary concern.

“Private jets are a surprisingly large source of air and climate pollution,” ICCT aviation fellow Daniel Sitompul said. “A typical private jet emits as many greenhouse gases each year as 177 passenger cars or nine heavy-duty highway trucks.”

And there it is. You didn’t think I’d be writing this unless it was climate scam related, did you?

FCC Says The Fairness Doctrine Should Be Instituted For Talk Shows

By William Teach January 23, 2026 – 10:30 am

I disagree with this, but, it is delicious in it’s irony

FCC says TV talk shows must offer equal time to political candidates

The Federal Communications Commission warned TV broadcasters Wednesday that daytime talk shows and late-night programs must give equal time to opposing political candidates.

The move addressed a genre of TV that President Trump has long argued is politically biased, leading to calls from the president to revoke broadcasters’ FCC licenses.

The announcement hinges on a decades-old federal law requiring any FCC-licensed broadcaster that lets a political candidate appear on its airwaves to also offer “equal opportunities” to all other candidates running for the same office. The law exempts “bona fide newscasts” and news interviews from the equal time rule.

In 2006, the FCC said the news exemption applied to an interview on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” meaning the late-night comedy show could feature then-California gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger on-air without also inviting his Democratic opponent.

But in a four-page notice on Wednesday, the FCC said it is “not the case” that all late-night and daytime entertainment shows are exempt. The regulator said it decides whether the exemption applies on a case-by-case basis, and it “has not been presented with any evidence” that interviews on those shows qualify for the news exemption.

The Fairness Doctrine itself was an FCC policy requiring broadcasters to present contrasting viewpoints on controversial issues of public importance, meaning they had to supply both sides of an issue. The rule was repealed in 1987 as it violated the 1st Amendment. Democrats seriously wanted to reinstate it during the late Clinton years, Bush 43 years, and Obama years, as a way to destroy Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and other Conservatives on the radio. Moonbats wanted to force them to give equal time to Democrats as a way of getting their narrative out, especially on radio, because Democrats tended not to do well. Remember the Air America failure? Of course, Fox actually had way more Democrats on shows than any other network did. Remember when it was Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes?

It’s also part of the “public values test”, in which a license would be determined if the station was serving the “public interest.” Dems ran this up the flagpole during the Obama years, again, as a way to get rid of Conservative stations, TV and radio.

Democratic FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez sharply criticized the FCC’s announcement, calling it “an escalation in this FCC’s ongoing campaign to censor and control speech.” She also argued the notice was “misleading” since the FCC hasn’t formally changed any of its rules, a process that typically involves a public comment period and a vote by the commissioners.

“Broadcasters should not feel pressured to water down, sanitize, or avoid critical coverage out of fear of regulatory retaliation,” Gomez said in a statement. “Broadcast stations have a constitutional right to carry newsworthy content, even when that content is critical of those in power. That does not change today, it will not change tomorrow, and it will not change simply because of this Administration’s desire to silence its critics.”

In other words, Democrats should feel free to complete an utter partisans for the Democratic Party, spewing their moonbattery, being 98% one sided.

Those comments drew bipartisan criticism, with Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas arguing Carr overstepped and could set a bad precedent the next time there’s a Democratic president.

“I gotta say, that’s right out of ‘Goodfellas.’ That’s right out of a mafioso coming into a bar, going, ‘nice bar you have here, it’d be a shame if something happened to it,'” Cruz said of Carr’s remarks on Kimmel, mimicking a mob boss’s accent.

I did not like this when Democrats pushed it and I’d be against it now. But, the precedent has been set, and it would be fun if Republicans would push this simply to troll Democrats. Even if Republicans said they were trolling the Democrats would still moonbat-out. Let’s not forget a big part of the Obama-era Net Neutrality was an attempt to control what is on the Internet to limit Conservative reach. If late night “talk” shows want to be all Dem, let them. If the networks want to lose tens of millions a year, that’s on them.

Here We Go: CNN Claims ‘Climate Change’ May Have Made Coming Winter Store More Likely

By William Teach January 23, 2026 – 7:15 am

This was certainly inevitable from the cult, right?

How this brutal winter storm is even possible with climate change – and maybe even more likely

The frigid temperatures, massive snow and deadly ice storm taking shape east of the Rockies might seem to conflict with life on a rapidly warming planet. But all of these things still happen, even with climate change, and some of them could be even more severe than before when the conditions are right. (big snip)

Other experts point to the winter storm and particularly the Arctic cold that will follow in its wake and note that climate change may itself be playing a role in instigating them. Jennifer Francis, a researcher at the Woodwell Climate Research Center who has studied changes in the polar vortex as the world warms, said she’s seeing evidence in this storm.

“Even though global warming is causing warmer winters overall, severe winter weather events are still possible — and perhaps even more likely — because warming is not the only consequence of human-caused climate change,” she said. “Other ingredients that set the stage for severe winter weather are on the rise, and many of them are in play this week.”

This is what a doomsday cult says. No matter the weather it gets blamed on Other People driving fossil fueled vehicles. Even massive winter storms.

Arctic Blast To Wallop N. America — Is Climate Change To Blame?

An unusually brutal winter storm is set to pummel more than 160 million Americans from Friday, as a stretched “polar vortex” sends a devastating blast of Arctic air, bringing heavy snows and freezing rains.

Winter Storm Fern is forecast to engulf an area well over half the length of the continental United States, stretching from Texas and the Great Plains region to the mid-Atlantic and northeastern states.

Scientists say the increasing frequency of such disruptions of the polar vortex may be linked to climate change, though the debate is not yet settled and natural variability also plays a role.

Nutters.

NY Times Caterwauls About Little Boy “Detained” By ICE

By William Teach January 23, 2026 – 7:00 am

All the news that is fed to them by hyper-left wingers

Detention of 5-Year-Old by Federal Agents Incenses Minneapolis

A 5-year-old boy wearing a Spider-Man backpack and an oversized hat was detained with his father by immigration authorities on Tuesday, one of four students who have been apprehended in a suburban Minneapolis school district during the past two weeks, school officials said.

The prekindergarten pupil, Liam Conejo Ramos, is pictured in a photo released by the school system as he stands next to a vehicle with an adult’s hand on his backpack. His father is not in sight. The image prompted outrage in the Twin Cities area, where many people have been angered since mid-December by the Trump administration’s surge in deportation operations.

“Why detain a 5-year-old?” Zena Stenvik, the superintendent of schools in Columbia Heights, Minn., asked at a news conference about the episode on Wednesday.

Exactly what happened on a snow-covered block in Columbia Heights during the arrest is in dispute. The small school district and the federal government have given conflicting accounts.

No, it’s really not, but, the Times will give it a shot

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement that when the agents sought to detain the father, he fled on foot and left Liam behind in the vehicle.

Ms. McLaughlin said that Mr. Conejo Arias was Ecuadorean. She did not suggest he had any criminal record, and he does not appear in any Minnesota criminal court records.

Yeah, that is what happened

The kid wasn’t detained or abducted or any of the other things the unhinged are saying: his father abandoned him when law enforcement came calling

School officials said that they had reviewed paperwork showing that Mr. Conejo Arias’s family has an active asylum case and no order of deportation. School officials accused immigration agents of making the child knock on the door of his home as “bait” to apprehend others, something that immigration officials denied.

Were the school officials there are at the home? If so, that’s weird. If so, why is there no video? Did the NY Times attempt to find out? Or, just take their word? This is the state of today’s “reporting”. The information was known at least half a day before the Times published this late Thursday. But, really, most of the Credentialed Media ran with it, which is rage baiting and could get people killed.

We’re In A New Era Of “Water Bankruptcy” Or Something

By William Teach January 22, 2026 – 3:52 pm

The doomsday cult just loves to create new types of doom

The world has entered a new era of ‘water bankruptcy’ with irreversible consequences

The world has entered “an era of global water bankruptcy” with irreversible consequences, according to a new United Nations report.

Do we need more than that? It’s the United Nations, who hold lots and lots of climate conferences a year, including the big one every November where 50K take fossil fueled trips to demand Everyone Else give up their use of fossil fuels and their Freedom

The global situation is so severe that terms like “water crisis” or “water stressed” fail to capture its magnitude, according to the report published Tuesday by the United Nations University and based on a study in the journal Water Resources.

“If you keep calling this situation a crisis, you’re implying that it’s temporary. It’s a shock. We can mitigate it,” said Kaveh Madani, director of the UN University’s Institute for Water, Environment and Health, and the report’s author.

With bankruptcy, while it’s still vital to fix and mitigate where possible, “you also need to adapt to a new reality… to new conditions that are more restrictive than before,” he told CNN.

And the UN would be happy to be the ones in charge of everyone’s water, you know.

The concept of water bankruptcy works like this: Nature provides income in the form of rain and snow, but the world is spending more than it receives — extracting from its rivers, lakes, wetlands and underground aquifers at a much faster rate than they are replenished, putting us in debt. Climate change-fueled heat and drought are compounding the problem, reducing available water.

Perhaps if everyone treated the water with respect and didn’t pollute it there would be no problem. Of course, the UN wants a problem, because they’re leaders in the climate cult and it allows them power.

Pro-Illegals Agitators Now Going After K-9s

By William Teach January 22, 2026 – 10:30 am

This is going too far

These people are horrible

(Fox News) Federal officials on Wednesday said a Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) K-9 was targeted in Minneapolis after an employee at a kennel wrote “ICE OUT” on the dog’s feed chart.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said anti-ICE agitators in Minneapolis are targeting CBP K-9s, including a K-9 named “Dina.”

“At the kennel where K-9 Dina was staying, it was discovered that an employee had written “ICE OUT” on her feed chart,” DHS wrote in a social media post. “THEY’RE EVEN GOING AFTER THE DOGS!”

They damned sure aren’t going to win hearts and minds targeting the dogs.

Meanwhile

(PBS) An appeals court on Wednesday suspended a decision that restricts immigration officers’ aggressive tactics in Minnesota, while Maine declined a request for more undercover license plates for U.S. Customs and Border Protection vehicles, citing “abuses of power” during the Trump administration’s crackdown.

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was persuaded to freeze a judge’s ruling that bars officers from using tear gas and other steps against peaceful protesters while the administration pursues an appeal. Operation Metro Surge, an immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota’s Twin Cities, began in early December.

Well, that was expected, most of the orders by the wacko leftist judges get overturned on appeal, even if just for during the appeal, because the wackadoodle federal judges are always exceeding their power.

(ABC News) A federal judge refused Monday to temporarily block the Trump administration from enforcing a new policy requiring a week’s notice before members of Congress can visit immigration detention facilities.

U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb in Washington, D.C., concluded that the Department of Homeland Security didn’t violate an earlier court order when it reimposed a seven-day notice requirement for congressional oversight visits to Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities.

Cobb stressed that she wasn’t ruling on whether the new policy passes legal muster. Rather, she said, plaintiffs’ attorneys representing several Democratic members of Congress used the wrong “procedural vehicle” to challenge it. The judge also concluded that the Jan. 8 policy is a new agency action that isn’t subject to her prior order in the plaintiffs’ favor.

There’s long been a requirement for notice to visit ICE detainment facilities. This makes Democrats mad. They can’t just show up and disrupt operations for their photo-op. Strange how they don’t visit other jails holding Americans to see the conditions. Just for illegals.
