Canadian Sexual Assault Center Denies Jews Were Sexually Assaulted By Hamas

By William Teach November 19, 2023 – 7:00 am

Can we officially call this Jew Derangement Syndrome at this point? Or, is that minimizing the hatred these people have for Israel and Jews?

Sexual assault center at Canadian university signs onto open letter that DISPUTES women were raped and sexually assaulted during Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel

The director of a sexual assault center at a Canadian university is coming under criticism for signing an open letter denying women were raped during Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel.

Samantha Pearson, director of the University of Alberta’s Sexual Assault Center, was among those to sign in support of the letter written by two local politicians.

Sarah Jama, a member of Ontario’s provincial parliament, and Susan Kim, a city councillor in Victoria, British Columbia, authored the letter to all members of Canada‘s parliament.

‘We, the undersigned, residing in so-called Canada, urge Canadian political leaders to end their complicity in the ongoing massacres and genocide in Gaza, Occupied Palestine,’ they wrote.

The letter – entitled ‘Stand with Palestine: Call on Political Leaders to End Their Complicity in Genocide!’ – called on the MPs to resign after the prime minister, Justin Trudeau, refused to demand a ceasefire.

And the signatories criticized opposition leader Jagmeet Singh for having ‘repeated the unverified accusation that Palestinians were guilty of sexual violence.’

Whatever happened to believe all women? If women in Gaza started accusing Israeli soldiers of rape and sexual assault you can bet these unhinged tools would howl and immediately believe them, because they hate Israel which has led to loathing Jews.

Leftists want the killing in Gaza to stop? Tell Hamas to release all the hostages and surrender, including the chickenshit ones hiding in other countries.

Climastologers Say Climate Doom Might Take Longer

By William Teach November 18, 2023 – 3:00 pm

Apparently, we’ve already hit the point where Once Upon A Time, er, scientists say, that their previous prognostications have to be adjusted. I figured this would take at least till 2030 till they started pushing them out. And you’ll never get why

Global warming might not happen quite as fast as we thought – here’s why

Plants will absorb 20 per cent more carbon dioxide than predicted by the end of the century, a new study has found, suggesting climate models are overestimating how fast the planet will warm.

Trinity College Dublin said its research painted an “uncharacteristically upbeat picture for the planet” after finding models had failed to take into account all the elements of photosynthesis.

During photosynthesis, green plants use light energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide, water and minerals into the sugars they need for growth.

Scientists thought climate change could weaken the process, but the new research suggests plants can adjust to the temperatures, efficiently absorbing carbon dioxide, producing extra nutrients, and continuing to thrive.

They found that on a global scale, the amount of carbon converted during photosynthesis could be up to 68 per cent greater by the end of the century compared to the start of the century, and 20 per cent more than some current models suggest.

They were discounting what plants actual do with CO2, which is what is called “beneficial plant food”. Oh, and their computer models were garbage. As usual. But, of course

Silvia Caldararu, assistant professor at Trinity’s School of Natural Sciences, said: “What our study shows is that ecosystems could take up more CO2 out of the atmosphere than previously thought, which would mean lower CO2 concentrations, so a less steep rise in temperature.

“So yes, that would give us a bit more time to reach net zero. But it is important to note that we predict a lot of this drawdown will happen towards the end of the century, while we need to cut emissions now, or possibly yesterday.”

What’s this “we” shat? I love when people who do virtually nothing to reduce their own carbon footprint say that government must for Everyone Else to do so.

Meanwhile

Which leads to this Yahoo News article

Should you stop flying to fight climate change?

… (the whole story seems to be bullet points)

  • As concern about climate change increases, air travel has been identified by some activists as a luxury one should avoid. (snip)
  • Sweden is ground zero for promoting flight shame, or “flygskam,” as it is known there. In 2018, a Swedish activist founded the group We Stay on the Ground, which seeks pledges from individuals to go a year without flying to lessen emissions.
  • A newer American group called Flight Free USA is trying to do the same thing here. Other organizations, such as Stay Grounded, promote alternatives to flying and argue that buying carbon offsets to compensate for air travel emissions is not a solution.
  • In the past few years, trend pieces in outlets such as the New York Times, HuffPost and Wired have profiled the American “no-jet set.”

Or, you could mind your own f’ing business. You want to stop flying, stop flying. Stop telling Other People how to live their lives.

Hamas Supporter Rashida Tlaib Has Her Arizona State Event Cancelled

By William Teach November 18, 2023 – 10:30 am

There can’t be that many Israel and Jew haters who are also supporters of Islamic terrorist groups in Arizona, can there?

Arizona State Cancels Tlaib’s Pro-Palestine Campus Event

Arizona State University canceled a pro-Palestine, on-campus event scheduled for Friday that was to feature remarks from Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., whose antisemitic rhetoric earned her a bipartisan censure from the House of Representatives last week.

A university spokesperson told The Arizona Republic that the event, “Palestine is an American Issue,” was canceled due to procedural issues.

It comes a day after a bipartisan group of Arizona lawmakers said Tlaib’s extremist views were “not welcome” in the state.

It’s the second event in Arizona featuring Tlaib that has been canceled this month.

Friday’s event was going to be hosted by the Arizona Palestine Network, a pro-Palestinian advocacy group.

The Arizona Palestine Network is totally committed to non-violence, yet, it was their Palestinian buddies who violated the cease-fire on October 7th, attacking, raping, torturing, beheading, and killing lots of Jews. Their Facebook feed is full of people wearing Intifada Keffiyehs, a symbol of killing Jews. Lots of calls to “free Palestine”: they’re never asked what that means. And this (they block embedding the video)

If they’re using that tagline, they want Israel destroyed.

I’m rather torn on the event being cancelled. Tlaib is a Jew hater and supporter of Islamic extremists. She’s one herself. She should be on the terror watchlist. But, should we be stopping people we disagree with, that we despise, from speaking? No, we shouldn’t.

“Organizers of events using ASU facilities must be properly registered with ASU and must meet all university requirements for crowd management, parking, security, and insurance. In addition, the events must be produced in a way which minimizes disruption to academic and other activities on campus,” an ASU spokesperson told the Republic.

“The event featuring Congresswoman Tlaib was planned and produced by groups not affiliated with ASU and was organized outside of ASU policies and procedures.  Accordingly, that event will not take place today on the ASU Tempe campus.”

But, should we allow people and their supporters who are going to be calling for the destruction of a nation and the killing of Jews to speak? People who could get violent and damage property? Who won’t be protesting peaceably?

Police escort Jewish students from ASU meeting after rocks thrown

‘Long live the Intifada,’ protesters yelled. ‘When people are occupied, resistance is justified.’

Jewish students at Arizona State University left a student government event under university police supervision after pro-Palestinian protesters shouted and threw rocks at their meeting from outside.

The students had gathered to debate proposed Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions student government legislation against Israel, according to The State Press, ASU’s independent student-run publication.

These are not peaceful people, and calling for the end of Israel, which is what BDS is about, is violent.

LGB Invokes Wartime Powers To Fund Heat Pumps

By William Teach November 18, 2023 – 7:00 am

Will any member of the media ask him if he has a heat pump at either of his Delaware homes? Or at the White House? Heck, even the right leaning media fails to ask Biden these types of questions

Biden invokes wartime powers to fund electric heaters as he cracks down on gas appliances

President Biden invoked a Cold War-era law in a surprising move Friday to pour taxpayer funds into domestic manufacturing of electric heat pumps, an alternative to gas-powered residential furnaces.

In a joint announcement with the White House, the Department of Energy (DOE) said the federal government would award a “historic” $169 million for nine projects across 15 sites nationwide in an effort to accelerate electric heat pump manufacturing. The significant level of funding was made possible after Biden utilized the 1950 Defense Production Act (DPA) to increase domestic production of green energy technologies.

“Getting more American-made electric heat pumps on the market will help families and businesses save money with efficient heating and cooling technology,” said Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm. “These investments will create thousands of high-quality, good-paying manufacturing jobs and strengthen America’s energy supply chain, while creating healthier indoor spaces through home-grown clean energy technologies.”

Does Jen have one at her homes?

“Today’s Defense Production Act funds for heat pump manufacturing show that President Biden is treating climate change as the crisis it is,” added John Podesta, the White House clean energy czar. “These awards will grow domestic manufacturing, create good-paying jobs, and boost American competitiveness in industries of the future.”

And John? Does he have one?

And Ali Zaidi, who serves as Biden’s national climate advisor, said the president was “using his wartime emergency powers under the Defense Production Act to turbocharge U.S. manufacturing of clean technologies and strengthen our energy security.”

Without government mandates and money most would not get them. They really aren’t that good. You really need two of them, one for heat and one for AC, if you are in a place where they run a lot. Seriously, these Warmists really reached back to a 1950 law.

IDF Draws Star Of David On Hamas Training Grounds

By William Teach November 18, 2023 – 6:45 am

This is awesome

From the link

The IDF used tanks to mark the Star of David onto the floor of a training ground for the Hamas terror group’s fighters in Gaza City.

The tanks can be seen in footage shared today roaming across the soil with Israel flags on a battle-worn strip of land.

They are then shown in a line pumping out blue and white smoke as the symbol is displayed.

The formation, performed by fighters from the Golani Brigade in the Kativa outpost, was part of a ceremony in memory of comrades who have fallen since the start of the war, according to IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari, who posted the video on X.

Hagari wrote: ‘In the parade ground of the ‘Kativa’ outpost in the heart of Gaza City, where terrorists of the terrorist organization Hamas were trained, fighters of the 13th and 51st Battalions of the Golani Brigade performed a combat ceremony in memory of their comrades who fell in the battles since the beginning of the fighting.’

Simply awesome. Too bad Jews do not do pork, either, they could have left some pig heads.

Meanwhile

U.S. Investigates Colleges for Antisemitism and Islamophobia Complaints

The federal government opened discrimination investigations this week into half a dozen universities, including Columbia, Cooper Union and Cornell in New York, following complaints about antisemitic and anti-Muslim harassment after the Israel-Hamas war broke out.

Since the start of the war on Oct. 7, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has also opened inquiries into Wellesley College in Massachusetts, the University of Pennsylvania and Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, along with a K-12 school district, Maize Unified in Kansas.

The Biden administration opened the investigations as part of “efforts to take aggressive action to address the alarming nationwide rise in reports of antisemitism, anti-Muslim, anti-Arab and other forms of discrimination,” according to a news release published by the Office for Civil Rights.

Here’s the question: is the DOE serious? Usually I would say “this is window washing”, but, give Biden his due, he has mostly taken the side of Israel and Jews, so, they might be going hard at the schools.

Quick Thank You To Doc Ford

By William Teach November 17, 2023 – 8:43 pm

Back on October 29th I had a post asking if you could survive a zombie apocalypse, and Doc Ford mentioned the book Cascade: The Fallen Republic. I just want to say thanks, because it is damned good. I’m about 54% through it, a very long book. Definitely one of the better zombie books I’ve read. A great slow burn, takes a long time. You learn quite a bit about the characters, how they are going about their lives as a zombie like virus (think 28 Days Later) rolls through the US, with mentions of the EU and other nations melting down. You never feel that the author, James Tarr, is padding the book out. It’s listed at 742 pages. You probably won’t like it all that much if you are a liberal. But, the shots at liberals are well done, not overboard, they are subtle, rather than preachy. I usually do not like when fiction gets overly political.

Will definitely read the other two books in the series.

Weird: 40% Of EV Charging Stations In Los Angeles Did Not Work

By William Teach November 17, 2023 – 3:00 pm

One would think that a place like LA would have operational charging stations, considering that California was the first state to mandate all of the peasants having to forgo petrol cars, well before Let’s Go Biden pushed his mandate

No Juice: WSJ Columnist Finds 40% of EV Chargers She Tried in LA County Were Out of Service

A Wall Street Journal journalist who owns an electric vehicle (EV) was dismayed to find that about 40 percent of the chargers she tried throughout LA county were out of service. A troubling data point for car companies and government officials claiming that the entire country will soon go electric.

A test of 30 non-Tesla fast-charging stations in LA County, the EV capital of America, revealed that at least 40 percent of them had some type of issue, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.

“From the beach in Santa Monica to parking garages under Rodeo Drive, my video producer Adam Falk and I visited 30 different non-Tesla DC fast-charger stations in a Rivian R1T pickup. I ran into problems at 13 of them — that’s over 40%. Oof is right,” WSJ columnist and EV owner Joanna Stern wrote.

The WSJ columnist added that she had deliberately limited the experiment to Level 3 chargers, noting, “I ignored the more common chargers known as Level 2 because they’re just too slow for quick fill-ups.”

Stern explained that she came across “three problem categories” during her testing expedition: first, the charging station was broken, second, there was a problem with payment, such as it being rejected, and third, there was a software error between the charger and the vehicle.

In fairness, while this was a random check, it could have been just bad luck. That happens. Most likely not, though. If the chargers are not working properly in the middle and upper class areas in the LA region, what makes you think the ones in the working class areas (not that they will put many in) will work?

“After  I repeatedly tried the credit-card reader with several different cards, the system demanded: ‘CASH ONLY,’” she wrote. “As if this was some hot-dog stand in the park — except there’s no money slot!”

Cash only. I cannot remember the last time I paid cash for gas. Or, heck, for most things these days.

Canada’s support for EV battery plants to cost C$5.8 bln more than announced -watchdog

Canada’s support for the construction of three of the country’s largest electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing factories is estimated to cost C$5.8 billion ($4.2 billion) more than initially announced, the country’s independent budgetary watchdog said on Friday.

Shocking! Of course, when government is involved they’re always going to get hit up for more money.

Would this one-seater electric car be enough for you?

Japan is king of the kei cars, or small-format vehicles designed mostly for urban use. But local startup KG Motors is taking that miniaturization to a whole new level with its one-seater electric car.

Inspired by North American startups, KG Motors CEO Kusunoki Kazunari explained that he wanted to bring the same kind of automotive entrepreneurial spirit to Japan, a company dominated by a few large automakers.

Designed for city use, it reaches a top speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) and features just a single seat in a center drive format.

If I lived at the beach it might be good, except for that whole 37 MPH thing. Rather buy a scooter or tiny motorcycle. Japan has crazy tiny cars. Most Hondas are no more than 58 inches wide. My Civic is a bit over 70 inches, and those are considered compact cars.

Cost Of Illegal Immigration: SCNY Mayor Announces Budget Cuts For Cops And Schools

By William Teach November 17, 2023 – 10:30 am

Supporters of unfettered illegal immigration always say that illegal immigration doesn’t cost anything. In fact, they say that all those illegal immigrants put more money into the system then they take out.

And then the cold truth of economic reality slaps them in the face

Eric Adams Announces Funding Cuts For Cops, Schools To Pay For City’s Illegal Migrant Crisis

Democratic Mayor Eric Adams of New York City announced Thursday cops and schools would be subjected to budget cuts to pay for the city’s migrant crisis.

Adams announced that libraries would be closed on Sundays and the New York Police Department would freeze police hiring as part of the efforts to address the costs of housing migrants arriving in the city, according to The New York Times. The city is offering migrants free travel to any location as the number exceeded 130,000, but many say they will not leave the city.

“No city should be left to handle a national humanitarian crisis largely on its own, and without the significant and timely support we need from Washington, D.C., today’s budget will be only the beginning,” Adams said Thursday. The police force is expected to drop below 30,000 as a result of the cuts, The New York Times reported.

But, this is what the Sanctuary City New York wanted when they declared themselves a sanctuary city, right? Illegals overrunning the city, taking up who tracts of space, prostitution and drug use in the streets, people playing loud music at all times, crime increasing, right? Oh, yeah, I forgot that they love illegal immigration, as long as it is Somewhere Else.

Why are the citizens of SCNY not offering up their money voluntarily? Why is SCNY not raising taxes? The people voted for this. Now they will deal with even fewer police in a city dealing with a higher level of violent crime and a much higher level of property crime, in a period where the Democrats hatred of cops keeps the police from often being proactive, as they do not want to be falsely accused of anything. And schools will see a $1 billion reduction over two years. Have fun!

(Judicial Watch) Mass illegal immigration resulting from the Biden administration’s open border policies is costing American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars to provide an unprecedented number of migrants with medical treatment, housing, education, and other welfare services, not to mention law enforcement. A new congressional report that includes federal and state figures reveals the shocking price of supporting an estimated 16.8 to 29 million illegal aliens currently living in the United States. The “net cost of illegal immigration is greater than the annual gross domestic product (GDP) of 15 different states,” according to the lengthy report, published this week by the House Committee on Homeland Security. “Illegal immigration costs every American taxpayer a net average of $956—or $1,156 before the taxes paid by illegal aliens are factored in.”

Illegals are jamming up hospitals. They are also giving birth to lots of anchor children, which they do on purpose, so that they do not get deported since they kid is now a citizen.

Even France has had enough

The government’s immigration bill was voted through the French Senate with a large majority on Tuesday after most of the key provisions were hardened, access to work visas for long-term immigrants curbed, and medical help for irregular migrants slashed entirely.

The bill also sought to facilitate the deportation of migrants in an irregular situation “who pose a serious threat to public order” while increasing resources to combat smuggling networks, particularly in the Mediterranean.

Finally, a new provision created an automatic granting of a one-year work visa for irregular migrants working off-the-books in economic sectors that face severe labour shortages.

Initially, the bill raised the bar for irregular migrants to gain permission to stay in France – imposing new, stricter language requirements. All migrants applying for a permit would also have to swear to uphold the principles of the French Republic, else their asylum claims could be rejected.

In other words, they are going specifically after those illegals and refugees who are Muslims with extremist views, as they’ve seen lots of issues as of late with all the Jew hatred and having Palestinian flags flown in their streets. Really, this is something that’s been going on for decades, and most of those Islamists are refusing to assimilate. Time for them to go.
