Do the Credentialed Media Elites listen to themselves? Consider what they are really saying?

Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change

President Trump on Thursday announced he was erasing the scientific finding that climate change endangers human health and the environment, ending the federal government’s legal authority to control the pollution that is dangerously heating the planet.

The action is a key step in removing limits on carbon dioxide, methane and four other greenhouse gases that scientists say are supercharging heat waves, droughts, wildfires and other extreme weather.

Led by a president who refers to climate change as a “hoax,” the administration is essentially saying that the vast majority of scientists around the world are wrong and that a hotter planet is not the menace that decades of research shows it to be.

It’s a rejection of fact that had been accepted for decades by presidents of both parties, including Richard Nixon, whose top adviser warned of the dangers of climate change, and the first President George Bush, who signed an international climate treaty.

Bush the elder did not sign a climate treaty, he signed an ozone pact. Bill Clinton dropped the Kyoto protocol climate treaty because it couldn’t be passed by the Senate and he knew it would be damaging to the economy. And scientists can say all they want, but, they cannot prove it, and they cannot definitely say scientifically that this warm period is any different from others. Regardless, why does ever ‘climate change’ proposal enable government to grow stronger and more controlling?

It’s really “the power to regulate you”. Similar to the NY Times article I excerpted.

Trump: There Will Be Voter ID Requirements One Way Or Another For Midterms

Can he do this?

Trump pushes voter ID ‘whether approved by Congress or not!’

President Donald Trump insisted Friday that voter ID requirements will be in place for this year’s midterm elections regardless of congressional approval, escalating his push for sweeping changes to how Americans vote.

“There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!” the president wrote on Truth Social. He also said he “searched the depths” of legal arguments on the issue and would be “presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future,” though he did not specify what legal rationale he would rely on.

“If we can’t get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted,” Trump wrote in a separate lengthy post shortly after, adding that he would present his justification in the form of an executive order.

Trump has been personally involved in efforts to tighten voter registration standards nationwide, backing the SAVE America Act — an updated GOP election bill that would overhaul federal voting rules. The legislation would require voters to show proof of citizenship to register, mandate photo ID when voting in person and direct states to remove noncitizens from existing voter rolls.

All those things, particularly the last two, are extremely popular with the American people. The question is, can he do this? Is there language in previously passed legislation that authorizes the Executive Branch to do this? I mean, Obama and Biden sure used little language to force EOs through. And Congress has done a stellar job in writing legislation over the last 50 years that is entirely to open, giving the Executive enormous latitude to manufacture EOs. Where’d the contraception mandate come from? There’s nothing in Obamacare about it. Zip. Nada. Was there something in other legislation?

But, I’m not sure how I feel about this if Trump does it unless there is some pretty damned good language from legislation. Things like this should be authorized specifically by Congressional legislation. That’s the way the system is supposed to work. So, I guess we wait to see what the EO lays out if Trump releases it.

Doom Today: ‘Climate Change’ Is Putting Olympics Mascots In Jeopardy Or Something

I wonder how long AP “news” writers Jennifer McDermott and Brittany Peterson worked to find a link that involved the Olympics?

Beloved Olympic mascots are color-changing critters that are vulnerable to climate change

The pair of animals chosen as mascots of the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games are stoats — weasel-like creatures that are at risk because of climate change. One of them is brown and the other is white, because in cold climates, the tiny animals’ fur changes from brown to white for winter, to blend in with the landscape.

However, stoats are increasingly turning white before there is any snow on the ground, leaving them vulnerable to predators — their snow-white coats amid dirt and rocks is like a target on their backs for sharp-eyed raptors.

Olympic organizers haven’t talked about that, at least not so far.

They say the mascots are meant to welcome people and communicate that these Games are infused with Italian spirit.

In other words, they aren’t interested in discussing cult business

Marco Granata, a doctoral student who researches stoats at the University of Turin in Italy, thinks the organizers are missing out on an opportunity to educate people a bit more and help this animal.

“It’s ironic because everyone now is talking about stoats, looking for stoats, but no one knows about real stoats, mostly because the Olympic committee didn’t inform the population about it,” he told The Associated Press.

No one cares, leave us the F alone. Can we just have sports?

Now, let’s talk Science. What happened with the stoats over the last 8,000 years when the climate flipped from a cool to a warm period? Did they start changing to white coats early, and eventually adapt? Do we have those comparisons to previous warm and cool periods? Because without those comparisons what the cult is saying now is meaningless.

Horror: ICE Spending $38 Billion Making Warehouses Into Detainment Centers

Suddenly Democrats find $38 billion to be a big number when it comes to detaining illegals, when you had NYC spending $5 billion in 2024, Chicago over $300 million, and many more Dem run cities spending hundreds of millions. Some measures show that illegals cost $42 billion in welfare benefits (which they aren’t supposed to receive) a year

ICE to spend $38bn turning warehouses into detention centers, documents show

US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) expects to spend an estimated $38.3bn on a plan to acquire warehouses across the country and retrofit them into new immigration detention centers with capacity for tens of thousands of detainees, according to documents the agency sent to the governor of New Hampshire.

The documents, published on the state’s website on Thursday, disclose that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) estimates it will spend $158m retrofitting a new detention facility in Merrimack, New Hampshire, and an additional estimated $146m to operate the facility in the first three years.

According to an overview of the plans, which were first reported by the Washington Post, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would buy and convert 16 buildings across the US into regional processing centers, each holding between 1,000 and 1,500 people at a time. Another eight large-scale detention centers would hold 7,000 to 10,000 people at a time and serve as “the primary locations” for deportations. Detainees would spend an average of three to seven days at the processing sites before being transported to the larger facilities, where they would be held about 60 days before being deported.

They can all avoid this by self deporting. It would have been a lot easier if the Biden admin hadn’t let in millions of illegals/fake asylum seekers.

Good News: A Wind Power Freighter Could Launch In 2027

This is revolutionary, people!

From the link

A 100% wind-powered cargo ship that can dramatically cut transatlantic shipping times and carbon emissions, according to its operator, could launch in early 2027.

French company Vela will run a service between France and the US with its custom-made seacraft. The 220-foot (67-meter) long, 82-foot (25-meter) wide vessel will be able to transport just over 400 metric tons of cargo, and was designed with the input of Vela cofounder François Gabart, a professional yacht racer and the fastest sailor to circumnavigate the globe solo.

The trimaran, with two smaller hulls on either side of a central hull, will be propelled by sails extending 200 feet (61 meters) above the waterline, with onboard power for living and working quarters, plus temperature-controlled cargo holds, provided by solar panels and two hydro generators. Vela says it will travel at an average speed of 14 knots — equivalent to the speed of a modern container ship — between New Jersey and Normandy or Bordeaux, France.

Um, OK? Spanish galleons were capable of carrying 500 to 1,200 tons of cargo back in 1600s and 1700s. Nice to see that the climate cult has made progress.

The vessel can hold approximately five times the capacity of a cargo plane, says the company. Vela positions its services somewhere between conventional sea and air freight: quicker than sea freight, slower than air freight, and with much lower emissions than either.

Maybe, but planes can make it across the Atlantic in what, 7 hours or so? Not the 3-5 days it will take a cargo boat. Depending upon wind. Storms.

The vessel carries around 100 times less than a conventional container ship, meaning loading and unloading times are shorter, he added, and its size means it can enter secondary port terminals that have less congestion and quicker docking times.

Progress!

Vela is not the only French company launching purely wind-powered freight. Grand de Sail Logistics is offering 18-day port-to-port services between Saint-Malo, Brittany and New York on its cargo sailboat, which has a 50-ton capacity. And in the UK, Shipped by Sail operates as a broker for the transportation of low-volume, ethically produced goods, like Colombian coffee and Portuguese olive oil.

They should have these for passengers. Anyone professing membership in the cult should be required to take these instead of fossil fueled fligths.

Despite Being Super Popular, Only One Democrat Voted For SAVE Act In House

They do not care what Americans want. They believe Americans should do what the Elites say

Only One House Democrat Voted In Favor of Voter ID to Prove Citizenship in US Elections

Only one House Democrat voted in favor of legislation that would require voter ID to prove citizenship in elections. The U.S. House of Representatives was able to pass the election integrity bill, despite opposition from all but one Democrat — a stark reminder why maintaining a majority in Congress is crucial for Republicans in today’s polarized political climate.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX)’s SAVE America Act, which seeks to keep non-citizens from voting in U.S. federal elections, passed 218 to 213 by the House of Representatives on Wednesday, and could go into effect as early as this November, according to a report by Fox News.

The only House Democrat who did not vote against the election integrity initiative was Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX).

The bill is an updated version of the initial Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which was never taken up in the Senate after being passed by the House in April last year.

In addition to requiring photo ID to vote in federal elections, the new version of the legislation also aims to establish a federal proof of citizenship requirement in the voter registration process, as well as mandate that states maintain voter rolls purged of ineligible individuals.

Of course Democrats did this

(Dallas Express) A Pew Research Center survey found that 83% of Americans favor requiring government-issued photo ID to vote, with 95% of Republicans and 71% of Democrats in agreement; only 16% oppose it.

Gallup polling indicated 84% support for photo ID requirements, including 98% of Republicans, 84% of independents, and 67% of Democrats. Separately, 83% back proof of citizenship for first-time voter registration.

Additional surveys from Napolitan News Service and The Center Square also reflect strong backing, according to the White House.

CNN reporter Harry Enten was quoted as saying, “The bottom line is this: Voter ID is NOT controversial in this country. A photo ID to vote is NOT controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree.”

Oh, but, it gets more funny

Why, exactly, do Democrats not want people to identify who they are when voting?

I’m also betting if Republicans can get it passed in the Senate the Usual Liberal Groups will sue, involving friendly judges.

Surprise: Newsom Pledges To Sue Trump Over Ending Endangerment Finding

Ending the Obama era endangerment finding has made the authoritarian Elites very mad

Trump revokes landmark climate change rule; Newsom vows to sue

The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressive move by the president to roll back climate regulations.

The rule finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency rescinds a 2009 government declaration, issued by the Obama administration, known as the endangerment finding that determined carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare. (snip)

Legal challenges are certain for the action, which repeals all greenhouse gas emissions standards for cars and trucks, and could unleash a broader undoing of climate regulations on power plants, factories, and oil and gas facilities, experts say.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom blasted the move Thursday, and vowed to challenge it in court.

“Donald Trump may put corporate greed ahead of communities and families,” Newsom said. “But California will not stand by. We will sue to challenge this illegal action, and we will continue fighting climate pollution here in our state. We will continue to lead because the lives and livelihoods of our people depend on it.”

How, exactly, was repealing a rule illegal? Nowhere within federal law is CO2 or other greenhouse gases deemed pollutants. It was simply a political decision based on faulty and cult based “science”. Any rule that’s not required by duly passed law can be ended.

Environmental groups described Trump’s decision Thursday as the single biggest attack in U.S. history against federal authority to address climate change.

No matter what else they say, no matter what mushy muddle, that is the whole point: empowering the federal government to run everyone’s lives. All while the Elites excuse themselves. Remember this?

Tom Homan Says Minnesota Immigration Surge Ending

It had to eventually happen, right?

Minnesota immigration enforcement surge is ending, Trump border tsar says

The US immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota will end, President Donald Trump’s border tsar told reporters on Thursday.

Tom Homan said Trump had approved his request to conclude the operation, adding he would stay in Minnesota “a little longer to oversee the drawdown, to ensure its success”.

Homan said Operation Metro Surge had resulted in many illegal immigrants who had committed violent crimes being detained for deportation. But the surge also sparked nationwide protests when two US citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, were killed by immigration officers.

Officials in Minnesota have been able to “greatly reduce the number of targets” for immigration enforcement, Homan said, adding that Operation Metro Surge was a “great success”.

More than 4,000 undocumented immigrants had been arrested, according to Homan, including men he said were convicted of rape and other sexual misconduct.

Homan said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has always had a presence in Minnesota and will continue to have one.

Of course, then we get nuts like the Daily Mail

The surge was always going to end at some point, that way they could move it elsewhere. That it lasted this long is wild. They arrested a lot of illegals, and I bet they obtained a lot of information on the Somalis who committed fraud. So, which Democrat run city is next?
