Treasury Department Exits Global Climate Scam Group

The dominoes keep falling on the climate scam. If people want to practice what they preach, have at it. Stop using Other People’s money and trying to make them comply

US Treasury Department Withdraws From Global Regulatory Climate Change Group

The U.S. Treasury Department said on Thursday it was withdrawing from a global body of central banks and regulators devoted to exploring ways to police climate risk in the financial system.

“The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury) Federal Insurance Office (FIO) today notified the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) that it is withdrawing its membership,” the U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement.

Oh, and, hey, more!

FERC Terminates Draft Policy Statement on Climate Change Impacts of Natural Gas Infrastructure

Under the direction of Chairman Christie, President Trump’s new appointee to lead the agency, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order revoking the draft policy statement that would have assessed the upstream and downstream greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and associated climate change impacts of natural gas infrastructure projects.

High-level overview

By revoking its Interim GHG Policy Statement, FERC has signalled that it will not assess certain disclosures of GHG emissions of infrastructure projects. FERC will continue to perform environmental reviews on each natural gas pipeline certificate application under its jurisdiction but will operate on a “case-by-case” basis oriented on the characteristics of each project. The decision follows several years of federal appeals court decisions which have often remanded orders back to FERC due to insufficient consideration of climate change impacts, which served as a driving factor in the agency contemplating updates to its Policy Statement. Operating under a new chairman, FERC is ostensibly aligning with the energy policy agenda—as shown by the Executive Orders issued in the first week—of the second Trump administration.

Here’s hoping this continues on into every federal agency.

DOJ Says No More Money For Illegal Aliens In Texas

By William Teach January 31, 2025 – 7:00 am

And you can bet this is going to be happening in all states soon enough

Department of Justice cuts off federally funded legal aid to detained immigrants

The U.S. Department of Justice told immigration attorneys who aid detained immigrants through a federal program to stop providing legal services as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing changes to the immigration system, according to legal aid groups.

“To be told that we can’t go in and help people is devastating. More so to the people we’re trying to help who are being cut off from the outside world,” said Michael Luken, executive director for Amica Center for Immigrant Rights, the contractor that provides legal services. “We often hear people don’t know what’s happening or why they are detained: ‘What is going to happen next?’ And we were being stopped from reaching that basic level of orientation.”

The Jan. 22 DOJ memo told legal providers to “stop work immediately” in the four programs that provide legal services to detained immigrants, including the Legal Orientation Program, which Congress has funded since 2003. The other programs include Immigration Court Helpdesk, Counsel for Children Initiative and Family Group Legal Orientation Program.

“This email is to send you notification to stop work immediately pursuant to the Executive Order on the following task orders,” the DOJ memo said, according to ABC News, which reported getting access to the memo.

Well, if they want to represent illegal aliens they can do it on their one time and money. Why should the taxpayers of the U.S. have to pay for illegal aliens to get legal representation? Let them pay for it. Or the lawyers and groups if they so choose.

American Gateways, a subcontractor for the federal program and an immigrant rights advocacy group based in Austin, served 7,000 detained migrants in 2024 across three immigration detention centers in Texas. Edna Yang, co-executive director of American Gateways, said blocking detained immigrants from access to legal information will hurt the people and the system itself.

Why? Is this a private group? Let them get the money from Democrats who support illegals. The system is that none of these people should actually be in the U.S.

Department of Justice cuts off federally funded legal aid to detained immigrants
The decision to halt the program could prevent thousands of people detained in immigration detention centers from receiving legal advice.

Well, this article is super hard behind the paywall, but, a constant refresh says that the money is being pulled from all sorts of illegal alien supporting non-profits and NGOs. Again, let them pay themselves. They can solicit money others, but, not the taxpayers.

Comrade Sanders Clashes With RFK, Jr Over Climate Doom

By William Teach January 30, 2025 – 3:00 pm

Let me start out by saying I’m not a big fan of RFK, Jr. He may well do an excellent job as head of HHS, but, he is still a crank, has gone overboard on vaccines (crapping all over the garbage COVID vaccines is one thing, going after ones that work, like for polio, is something different) and had always been a believer in anthropogenic climate change. Anyhow, Comrade Sanders brought it up for some reason, despite taking lots of fossil fueled flights from Vermont to D.C. and back, and traveling around in fossil fueled vehicles

RFK Jr reveals major issue he and Trump disagree on

climate cowRobert F. Kennedy Jr has revealed one of the major points of disagreements in his and President Donald Trump’s relationship – in what may be the first sign of trouble in paradise in MAGA.

RFK Jr was put through a brutal grilling by senators at his confirmation hearing to become health secretary on Wednesday, where he was pressed on some of his controversial views on things like vaccines, Medicaid and fast food.

Despite coming from a Democrat dynasty, he repeatedly told the hearing he would follow Trump’s lead on policies such as abortion, saying: ‘I serve at the pleasure of the President.’

If he doesn’t want to be a part of what Trump wants then he wouldn’t have accepted the nomination, and, if he goes off the reservation Trump will shitcan him

But the cracks in their relationship began to show when RFK Jr was quizzed by Bernie Sanders about climate change and its effects on people’s health.

Sanders stated that he believes climate change is real and is a health care issue, but ‘Donald Trump thinks it is a hoax [that originated in] in China’, before turning it to RFK Jr and asking if he stands with the president on the matter.

But RFK Jr quickly answered, saying: ‘President Trump and I, from our first meeting, agreed to disagree on that issue. I believe climate change is existential. My job is to make Americans healthy again.’

Exactly. The climate scam is not his problem as head of HHS, no matter what the climate cult thinks, no matter how much they try and make it be part of health care. Kennedy just wants to do the job. He doesn’t have to agree with Trump, the boss, on everything, he just has to do the job. That’s it.

RFK Jr called for the end of subsidies for fossil fuels, stronger enforcement of laws like the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act and new regulations on plastics and chemicals. He also wanted to provide more protection for wildlife, lands and waters.

However, he has also said that putting all focus and resources to combat global warming was a ‘huge tactical error.’

While speaking on ‘The Real Cause of Climate Change podcast,’ RFK Jr discussed how he has been trying to convince friends and that natural ‘solar cycles’ are behind global warming, not greenhouse gas emissions from humans.

Kennedy is an environmentalist at heart, sometimes to the point of being an eco-weenie. And, I’ve heard/read him going full Warmist. At other times, he links it to mostly being natural. Regardless, he seems to want to do the job of head of HHS and not drag other baggage into it. We’ll see.

Trump Looks To Boot Hamas Supporting Students Out Of U.S.

By William Teach January 30, 2025 – 10:30 am

Many are saying: “ZOMG, this is totally against the 1st Amendment! Trump is totally a dictator! How dare he do this!”

Trump orders review to identify, punish and deport antisemites — including students on visas

President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday instructing federal agencies to identify “all civil and criminal authorities” available to combat antisemitism — including finding ways to deport anti-Jewish activists who violated laws.

The order, first reported by The Post, requires agency and department leaders to provide the White House with recommendations within 60 days and outlines plans for the Justice Department to investigate pro-Hamas graffiti and intimidation, including on college campuses.

“Jewish students have faced an unrelenting barrage of discrimination; denial of access to campus common areas and facilities, including libraries and classrooms; and intimidation, harassment, and physical threats and assault,” the order says.

“It shall be the policy of the United States to combat anti-Semitism vigorously, using all available and appropriate legal tools, to prosecute, remove, or otherwise hold to account the perpetrators of unlawful anti-Semitic harassment and violence.”

The executive order calls for the deportation of resident aliens — including students with visas — who broke laws as part of anti-Israel protests following the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks that sparked the invasion of Gaza.

Is this anti-1st Amendment? Once one starts calling for the murder of people, no. Once one starts using the propaganda of a US designated terrorist group, no. These visitors to our country have marched in the streets and on college campuses, harassed Jews, called for their eradication. They yammer anti-America propaganda, burn American flags. They are here on visas and as refugees. They are guests, and they hate the US and support terrorists. They should not be here. Why have we been letting these people in? You can bet going forward the Trump admin will be rejected all those who are Islamists.

Hate speech generally is legal in the US, but the House GOP report released last month argues that federal law bars recipients of taxpayer funds from tolerating discrimination — allowing a way to force recipients to stiffen policies.

Interesting. Democrats usually are for banning “hate speech”. But, they’re fine with Jew and America hatred.

Federal courts also have found that non-citizens have fewer free speech rights.

The Supreme Court ruled in the landmark 1972 case Kleindienst v. Mandel that the government could refuse a visa to a Belgian Marxist — after prior court cases affirmed the deportation of anarchist and Communist non-citizens.

When the speech is calling for killing people, well, bye Felicia.

Your Fault: Britain Could See Outbreaks Of Diarrhea From Climate Doom

By William Teach January 30, 2025 – 7:00 am

It just goes to prove that the climate cult can always find a way to go lower with their fearmongering

Climate change could spark outbreaks of DIARRHOEA in Britain, scientists warn

From the unprecedented heatwave in 2022 to the deadly Storm Eowyn just this month, climate change is already wreaking havoc on Britain’s weather.

Now, a study has revealed that humans could be next in the firing line.

Scientists from the University of Surrey say that climate change could spark outbreaks of diarrhoea in Britain.

In their study, the team found a clear link between warmer conditions and more salmonella cases in England and Wales.
Symptoms of salmonella infections include diarrhoea and stomach cramps, as well as vomiting and fever.

Infection is usually caused by eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, and eggs or egg products or by drinking unpasteurized milk.

However, the scientists now say there’s increasing evidence weather plays a ‘crucial role’ in the transmission of the bacteria.

Sure. Now, let’s go back to the beginning of the Little Ice Age, around 1347, when the world was hit with a massive outbreak of bubonic plague which killed around 50 million. Population levels took till the 1500s. Which also saw an outbreak, though, not as bad.

The study compared UK Health Security Agency data of confirmed salmonella cases in England and Wales between 2000 and 2016 with Met Office weather data from the same period.

So, a simple 16 year period of time? Have they compared it to previous Holocene Warm periods?

The researchers admit that they cannot be sure of causation – in other words, that the climate variables are causing the rise of salmonella infection.

So, basically the whole article and everything the scientists were saying about climate doom is all for naught?

Trump Admin To Send Criminal Illegals To Gitmo

By William Teach January 30, 2025 – 6:45 am

Another day and another thing that is going to make Democrats who support illegals unhinged

Defense Secretary Hegseth says Guantanamo Bay is ‘perfect place’ to hold migrants ‘safely in the interim’

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the United States will “humanely move” criminal migrants out of the country and work with other agencies to secure the southern border in his first interview since he was confirmed last week by the U.S. Senate.

Hegseth, a former “Fox & Friends Weekend” co-host, addressed President Donald Trump’s memorandum to the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and Defense (DOD), calling on them to prepare a 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay, a U.S. Naval base in Cuba.

He told Fox News host Will Cain Wednesday that Guantanamo Bay is a “perfect place” to hold criminal migrants “safely in the interim” as the process to repatriate them to their homelands plays out. (snip)

Hegseth clarified that criminal migrants aren’t being put in camps with “ISIS and other criminals.”

“This is a temporary transit, which is already the mission of naval station Guantanamo Bay, where we can plus up thousands and tens of thousands if necessary, to humanely move illegals out of our country where they do not belong, back to the countries where they came from in proper process,” Hegseth said on “The Will Cain Show.”

Good. Get them out of the U.S. If they want to escape then Cuba can have them. Get them out pending repatriation to their home country. And, if their home country isn’t willing, they can laze about at Club Gitmo. This will be a good deterrent for those who are thinking of coming to the U.S., and those who haven’t been caught yet. Maybe we could build a facility on an uninhabited island off the coast of Alaska, let them chill in the cold and snow.

Global Boiling Is Totally Speeding Up Or Something

By William Teach January 29, 2025 – 3:00 pm

They know this because they looked at a little sea water. And, it’s your fault

Climate change is speeding up, study of ocean warming reveals

Earth’s oceans are getting warmer at an accelerating rate, researchers find — indicating that climate change is speeding up too.

The scientists found that ocean warming has more than quadrupled over the past 40 years and is likely to accelerate even faster in the future. The researchers published their findings in a new study published Tuesday (Jan. 28) in the journal Environmental Research Letters.

The rate of sea surface temperature warming has risen from 0.1 degrees Fahrenheit (0.06 degrees Celsius) per decade in the 1980s to 0.5 F (0.27 C) per decade today. The team’s modeling suggests that this amount of accelerated warming will occur again in the next two decades and accelerate by an even greater margin if we don’t address the causes of climate change and move away from fossil fuels, according to the study.

And there it is: models. Not data, models. And, look, even if it is accelerating, that doesn’t mean anthropogenic causation: just warming. But, since this is a cult, there’s no need to prove anything.

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal runs this piece by Barton Swaim

Why Climate-Change Ideology Is Dying

Momentous social movements begin to die the moment adherents figure out their leaders don’t believe what they say. Liberal Protestantism’s long decline started in the 1950s, when congregants began to wonder if their ministers still believed the old creeds (they didn’t). Communism dies wherever it’s tried because sooner or later the proletariat realize their self-appointed champions aren’t particularly interested in equality. Many sects and cults dwindle the moment their supposedly ascetic leaders are revealed to be libertines.

Something similar is happening to climate ideology.

For three decades you were labeled a crank, a “climate denier,” someone who pigheadedly rejects “settled science,” if you didn’t embrace the belief that life on earth faces imminent extinction from “global warming” and, later, “climate change.” The possibility that an entire academic discipline, climate science, could have gone badly amiss by groupthink and self-flattery wasn’t thought possible. In many quarters this orthodoxy still reigns unquestioned.

It’s a much longer piece which you can read in full by going to the Internet Archive and putting the link. Regardless, Swaim makes a good case, but, I have news: it will never die. The cultists will not let it. It will keep coming back. The disciples will make sure their voices are heard since the news media is on their side, along with politicians. They will never stop.

Trump Signs Even More Orders For The Military

By William Teach January 29, 2025 – 10:30 am

He’s still working hard to make the U.S. military the lethal fighting machine it is meant to be, not a social experiment breeding ground for crazy leftists

Trump signs 4 new executive orders, transforming military

President Trump signed a bevy of new executive orders Monday evening that have the potential to significantly transform the Defense Department (DOD).

The new orders prevent transgender people from openly serving in the military, greenlight the process of developing a missile defense shield to protect the U.S., and reinstate service members that voluntarily left or were forced out of the military over COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Trump also penned an expected executive order that would “abolish” every diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) office within the DOD and Department of Homeland Security, the latter of which houses the U.S. Coast Guard. All four were signed late Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s first formal day in office.

The president revoked an executive order from his predecessor, former President Biden, penned in 2021 that allowed transgender people to serve in the military. He also directed Hegseth to set new military preparedness requirements.

Trump said “expressing a false ‘gender identity’ divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service.”

There might well be some transgenders who want to serve and fight and protect the U.S., but, it sure looks like most are there for free surgeries and medications, while pushing their own crazy agenda on the military and everyone. And, since they have much worse mental health than others, and suicidal thoughts, it’s not a great idea to have them around military grade weapons.

The order directs the Defense Department to begin forging sketches for “an Iron Dome for America,” a missile defense system that would protect Americans from potential “ballistic, hypersonic, cruise missiles” and other space-based attacks from “peer, near-peer and rogue adversaries.” The project was discussed during the Reagan administration but was never developed.

I just wonder how Democrats will attack this, an initiative meant to protect the U.S. as our enemies develop more and better and faster missiles.

One thing: as Trump and Hegseth get rid of DEI they need to get rid of most, if not all, of the HR managers, since they tend to create way too many issues, just like they do in the private sector. They drive policy, rather than the military leaders driving it.
