Duluth Citizens Climate (cult) Commission Really Wants To Force Others To Comply

By William Teach March 2, 2026 – 3:42 pm

I checked it out, and, this commission is not a government one, just a bunch of private climate cultists who came together to nag

Local View: In climate emergency, Duluth citizens must step up

On Tuesday evening, Jan. 27, a group of us came together for the first meeting of the Duluth Citizens Climate Commission. The idea for this new initiative evolved during our collaborative efforts in the fall and winter last year to persuade Mayor Roger Reinert and the Duluth City Council to keep a full-time position for a sustainability officer in the 2026 city budget.

While lobbying the mayor and council, there was a growing realization that our city wasn’t responding to the emerging impacts of various climate events with any sense of urgency, and citizens needed to step up and take a more active role in addressing climate change. Our group wanted to explore what we could accomplish in one year to engage, educate, and empower more citizens to become increasingly aware of what’s taking place and then encourage them to become activists and leaders for our city’s future.

OK, well, go ahead. But, stop trying to make the government spend money on your commission or Beliefs

It has become more apparent with each passing day that the president, federal government, and many of our current political leaders and institutions in the U.S. are not taking climate change seriously. In fact, many have turned their backs on this global crisis.

Why wouldn’t they, considering few Warmists practice what they preach?

In her book, “Facing the Climate Emergency,” Margaret Klein Salamon argued that we need to wake up and grow up right now if we hope to address climate change. “When you face climate truth and let it transform you, you will become heroic, leveraging your talents, energy, and resources in service of protecting humanity and all of life,” Salamon wrote. “No one is coming to save us, but together, we might be able to save ourselves.”

Heroic! LOL

Many of us hope the Duluth Citizens Climate Commission can bring our community together in a collaborative effort in which we can leverage all of our talents, energy, and resources to help protect our city. We need to seriously explore and embrace new approaches to adapting to climate change while effectively responding to the ongoing challenges of our climate reality.

Over the next 10 months, the Duluth Citizens Climate Commission will host a town hall meeting, coordinate a climate-education initiative, reach out to our young people experiencing climate anxiety, encourage the public to read the 2018 climate-vulnerability assessment and the 2021 climate-emergency resolution, and sponsor a series of climate conversations.

Go for it. Will you ban citizens from attending if they show up in fossil fueled vehicles? These people are nuts.

NY Times Very Concerned Over Illegals Missing “Spiritual Care” In Detention

By William Teach March 2, 2026 – 10:30 am

Has the Times ever worried about “spiritual care” for any American locked up in jail? Or for anything else?

For Immigrants in Detention, Spiritual Care Can Be Hard to Find

As the Trump administration has dramatically increased the number of people held in federal immigration detention facilities, detainees’ access to medical care, sufficient food, basic hygiene and legal counsel have all come under scrutiny.

But the past couple of weeks have also shed light on another basic necessity that advocates say detainees are being deprived of — the ability to worship. Their concerns have intensified as two major seasons, Lent and Ramadan, began for Christians and Muslims.

To gain access, some religious groups have sued the Department of Homeland Security. Others, like the American Roman Catholic Bishops, have called out the lack of access in statements condemning the immigration enforcement tactics of the Trump administration.

In some cases, that pressure has been successful. In others, however, it has left detainees — there are currently close to 70,000, the majority being Christians — with little or no access to religious services at a time of year central to their faiths.

You know where they can find religious services easily? In their home country. And all they have to do is say “I want to go home” and Los Federales will give them some money and stick them on a plane. Easy peasy.

“It feels like there’s a hypocrisy in an administration or a party that has regularly advocated for things like posting the Ten Commandments in public spaces, but denied people the actual practice of their faith,” said Fr. Brendan Busse, a priest at Dolores Mission Church in Los Angeles, who was denied access to a detention facility on Ash Wednesday.

In Minnesota, several Protestant groups and a Catholic priest sued the Department of Homeland Security last week, saying they had been blocked from providing spiritual care to detainees at the Whipple Federal Building, which the suit notes was named for a 19th-century Episcopal bishop who was an “advocate for the dignity and rights of noncitizens.” The suit frames the obstruction as an unconstitutional violation of the plaintiffs’ rights to practice their religion by being denied the right to offer pastoral care.

I guess this is the new line of attack from the pro-illegal alien crowd, folks who generally have either no need for religion or change religion away from the Bible to fit their nutjob beliefs. People who want to remove religion from just about everything.

Meanwhile, Connecticut thinks they have power

Proposal would ban sharing CT license plate data for immigration enforcement

Weeks after a CT Insider investigation found out-of-state police were using Connecticut license plate camera data for immigration enforcement, state lawmakers are proposing a bill aimed at curbing certain uses of license plate data.

Automatic license plate cameras, which the bill seeks to regulate, capture images of vehicles and their license plates as they drive by. At least two dozen police departments in the state use stationary license plate cameras installed on the sides of roads, allowing those departments to run searches for license plate numbers and locate a vehicle. There is no known public listing of just how many departments use the cameras and many departments that do use them do not disclose their precise locations.

The bill would prevent law enforcement agencies from entering into new contracts with license plate reader companies unless a series of conditions are met, including that the agencies cannot share license plate data information if it might be used for immigration enforcement or investigating reproductive health services.

Um, what’s with the last? Reproductive services? Really? Kinda shows just how wacko Dems are over abortion. Anyhow, it also shows just how wacko Dems are on trying to protect illegals. They aren’t banning the use for Americans. Just illegals.

Your Fault: Glaciers Growing Due To Hotcoldwetdry

By William Teach March 2, 2026 – 7:00 am

How dare you call this a cult!

Let’s see that No Tricks Zone translation

While glaciers worldwide are said to be shrinking due to global warming, there are a number of exceptions. Some are growing suddenly at extreme speeds, extending up to 100 times faster than usual.

The reported sudden advances are said to be triggered by unstable mechanical conditions inside or at the base of the glacier. For example, meltwater can act as a lubricant, causing the ice to slide. The rapid movement can cause massive amounts of ice to become unstable and break off.

Moreover, the advancing ice masses can block valleys, causing lakes to form behind them. If these natural dams burst later, devastating flood waves hit lower-lying regions.

The focus is particularly on high mountain ranges such as the Karakoram (Asia), parts of Alaska, and Svalbard. In the Karakoram, scientists observe the “Karakoram Anomaly,” where many glaciers remain stable or are exhibiting dangerous surges despite global warming.

However, researchers emphasize that these advances are not a sign of glacial recovery or an end to global warming. On the contrary: they claim that climate change is altering glacier dynamics so significantly that such unpredictable and dangerous events may occur more frequently or intensely.

Mostly Democrat Congress Critters Want To Restrict Trump From Attacking Iran

By William Teach March 2, 2026 – 6:45 am

This is purely the result of Trump Derangement Syndrome. If there ever were an issue Democrats could rally around, this is it. It’s foreign policy, it’s attacking a nation that has chanted death to America for decades, been involved in killing Americans, and so much more. But, no, they are unhinged. Anything regarding Trump they have to do the opposite. First, though

And here we go

Lawmakers stress new urgency around war powers votes after Iran strikes

Efforts in Congress to block President Trump from using further military action against Iran without support from lawmakers have intensified after the U.S. and Israel launched a massive military operation on Saturday.

Lawmakers are expected to vote this week on resolutions to require President Trump to seek Congressional approval to use military force on Iran as top Democrats — and some Republicans — seek to reassert Congress’ power to declare war and prevent a prolonged conflict. And although the votes were expected ahead of the strikes, the administration’s actions over the weekend prompted new energy from lawmakers, and calls for Congress to return to Washington immediately to vote as the conflict unfolds.

“This is a disaster, it is illegal, and the president is obligated under the Constitution to come to Congress and ask for an authorization of military force,” Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut said Sunday on “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”

It’s not illegal, it’s undocumented. All Trump really needs to do is officially notify Congress and then end it up in 60-90 unless Congress authorizes further action.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the Senate should “quickly return to session and reassert its constitutional duty by passing our resolution to enforce the War Powers Act.” And House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said House Democrats “remain committed to compelling a vote” on a war powers resolution upon the chamber’s return this week.

“Iran is a bad actor and must be aggressively confronted for its human rights violations, nuclear ambitions, support of terrorism and the threat it poses to our allies like Israel and Jordan in the region,” Jeffries said in a statement. “However, absent exigent circumstances, the Trump administration must seek authorization for the preemptive use of military force that constitutes an act of war. And Orange Man Bad!”

Ok, I added that last sentence. But, that is what it boils to. Same with Thomas Massie, who’s gone pure TDS. Democrats are seriously on the wrong side of a 90/10 issue, and, to repeat, it’s all due to TDS.

The resolutions would direct the president to remove U.S. military forces from hostilities against Iran unless authorized by either a declaration of war or another specific authorization for the use of military force. Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, who’s leading the war powers push in the Senate said in a statement that the chamber should immediately return to session to “block the use of U.S. forces in hostilities against Iran.”

Good grief, these people. This is a generational chance to get rid of the leaders of the largest state sponsor in the world. China, Russia, and Cuba have been seemingly changing their tunes. And Democrats want to retreat.

Washington Post Seems To Have A Sad That Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Is Dead

By William Teach March 1, 2026 – 7:00 am

Remember when they referred to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar”? Glowing obituary. Well, you ain’t seen nothing yet. First, though, this is what you are seeing from Iranians

And now

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, is dead at 86

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Shiite Muslim cleric who played a behind-the-scenes role in Iran’s Islamic revolution, served two terms as president in the 1980s and dominated the country for more than three decades as supreme leader, was killed Saturday as Israel and the United States launched a joint attack on Iran. He was 86.

President Donald Trump announced the death in a Truth Social post, calling the ayatollah “one of the most evil people in History.” He did not share additional details, but four Israeli security officials said Ayatollah Khamenei was killed in an Israeli airstrike at his compound in Tehran.

Trump didn’t share more details on the boom boom killing, or, on how evil he is? Never really sure with the far-left Washington Post.

An early follower of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the austere cleric who inspired the revolution against Iran’s U.S.-backed monarchy, Ayatollah Khamenei staunchly opposed the United States and Israel, rejected Western “liberalism,” and adhered strictly to fundamentalist social policies.

As supreme leader of Iran since 1989 — when he succeeded Khomeini — Ayatollah Khamenei wielded ultimate political and religious authority in the Islamic republic, outranking the elected president and overseeing the country’s armed forces, internal security apparatus, judiciary, state media and foreign policy.

Nothing so far about him lording over a brutal, murderous regime, one which supported terrorism throughout the Middle East, trying to destroy Israel and kill all the Jews via proxies, killing Americans in Iraq, killing other Muslims/Arabs in the ME, having women stoned, gays hung, and so much more.

He had the final say on a landmark July 2015 nuclear accord with six world powers, including the United States, that restricted Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for the easing of crippling economic sanctions. Although deeply distrustful of U.S. motives, and despite the misgivings of fellow hard-liners, he ultimately endorsed the deal, and it was formally implemented in January 2016.

Hilarious. Makes the US out to be the bad guy, even though it was the Obama admin in charge. And then goes on to bad mouth Trump for pulling the US out of the agreement.

When Iran was convulsed by widespread protests after the September 2022 death in custody of a young woman who was arrested by Islamic “morality police” for a dress-code violation, the supreme leader publicly blamed the United States and Israel and backed a deadly crackdown. How, he wondered, could some people “not see the foreign hand” behind the “rioting.”

Fucking seriously? This is what the WP writes? Nothing about this being due to Khamenei’s hardcore Islamist polices?

With his bushy white beard and easy smile, Ayatollah Khamenei cut a more avuncular (WT: they mean like a nice uncle) figure in public than his perpetually scowling but much more revered mentor, and he was known to be fond of Persian poetry and classic Western novels, especially Victor Hugo’s “Les Misérables.” But like the uncompromising Khomeini, he opposed moderates’ efforts to promote political and social reforms domestically and to secure rapprochement with the United States.

This is purely unhinged.

In the third decade of his rule, Iran became increasingly repressive, especially after security forces crushed demonstrations against the disputed 2009 reelection of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Beyond this bit of crushing, it takes a long time to the obituary gets into him being a big meany towards Israel and the US, but, not in depth. They seriously whitewash his life. This is an insane piece.

But, then, most Democrats who read it are going to take the side of Khamenei and the Iranian regime over the US and the Iranian people yearning to be free, because that’s how Trump Deranged they are.

Climate (cult) Scientists Want A Worldwide Assessment Of Climate Doom Or Something

By William Teach February 28, 2026 – 3:23 pm

I mean, don’t they get these prognostications every couple of weeks?

‘The world remains unprepared’: Why scientists are calling for a global assessment of climate change

climate doom yearly

Wait, I don’t have global heating on here?

The world remains “unprepared” for the risks of climate change, despite overwhelming evidence that the planet is heading towards irreversible damage.

A group of experts has published a paper in the science journal Nature, warning that the world lacks an “authoritative and up to date assessment” of climate change risks that would help governments and citizens understand the urgency of cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Despite the “huge consequences” of a warming world, there has never been an internationally coordinated and mandated global risk analysis. It means policy makers could be inadvertently undermining the full scale of the threat, ineffectively prioritising resources, and deploying the wrong kind of mitigation responses.

I mean, they seriously just keep trying to keep the doom going. They cannot let go. It’s in their DNA at this point, and they require that everyone be forced to join. To drink the kool aid.

Professor Rowan Sutton, one of two senior commentary authors and Director of the UK’s Met Office Hadley Centre, says humanity still has the opportunity to avoid the worst impacts of climate change and shape a “more prosperous, liveable future”.

“A global assessment of avoidable climate change risks would enable political leaders and citizens to fully understand what is at stake and motivate us all to seize that opportunity – while we still have it,” he adds.

Would this be the same Met Office that has continuously failed, as well as show itself to be captured by the doomsday cult? Anyhow, it would be about giving political leaders the ability to see where they can control citizens

A thorough global risk assessment would provide leaders with an “authoritative overview” of the most significant climate risks, their impacts, and the likelihood of disastrous outcomes.

Did they say authoritative or authoritarian?

Instead of being a “counsel of despair” it would provide the world with a clear picture of the outcomes that societies can still choose to avoid. It would support the development of timely measures for mitigation and highlight the extent of human agency.

We get some new or repeated point of doom outcomes daily. You know how many articles I skip daily because they are just the same old same old? Tell you what: if you Believe than make your own life carbon neutral. Live it.
