Doom! Last 10 Years Were The Hottest Ever!

That is, if we go by the hyperventilating, doomsaying NY Times headline

Earth’s 10 Hottest Years Have Been the Last 10

How many Warmists will read that and say “see! I knew it! Doom!”? Heck, it’s really more to influence the casual anthropogenic climate change believer into getting more hardcore. Because so many will never get by the headline. Anyhow, let’s hit the article for the second problem

With the addition of 2024, yet another record-hot year, the past 10 years have been the 10 hottest in nearly 200 years of record-keeping, the World Meteorological Organization reports.

“That’s never happened before,” said Chris Hewitt, the director of the W.M.O.’s climate services division. It marks the first time since record keeping began that all of the 10 hottest years have fallen within the most recent decade.

200 years, eh? There are very few records truly going back that far, and what records there are are limited to specific areas. How much of the US were populated in 1825? Even so, 1825 was in the Little Ice Age, which ended around 1850. So, it should be no surprise that the world slowly got warmer, about 1.6F since 1850.

Really, the rest is just boilerplate doom and gloom, we’ve seen it again and again and again.

Bummer: Illegal Alien Named To Time’s 100 Most Influential List Detained By ICE

Good thing the illegal alien wasn’t well known

From CNNlol

An undocumented mother and immigration reform activist who was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement feared she was being surveyed in recent days, her daughter told CNN.

Jeanette Vizguerra gained international attention in 2017 when she took sanctuary in a Denver church for three years to avoid deportation during President Donald Trump’s

first term. That same year, she was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine.

She is now being held at a detention facility in Aurora, Colorado, her attorney Laura Lichter told CNN.

Vizguerra was taken into custody by ICE officers Monday outside the Target store where she works as a cashier, family friend Judith Marquez told CNN.

Being a visible activist and having “international attention” is not a good idea when you are unlawfully present in the United States. Heck, if she were an American citizen and was doing this in Mexico they would have thrown her in jail for a bit then deported her.

Oh, hey, when does the DOJ have an uncomfortable talk with the people who run the Target and their corporate office over knowingly employing an illegal alien.

Denver’s Democratic Mayor Mike Johnston denounced Vizguerra’s arrest and described the mother as a hard-working member of the community.

“People should know what this is. This is not immigration enforcement. This is Soviet-style political persecution of political dissidents under the guise of immigration enforcement,” Johnston said in a video posted on Facebook Tuesday.

Enforcing the law is now Soviet-style. She’s also been busted a few times for low level stuff and

She was also charged in connection with using a made-up Social Security number on a job application, her then-attorney said. She pleaded guilty to “attempted possession of a forged instrument.”

Yeah, any of that would lead to anyone on a visa/green card being deported. If they had paid all that money and gone through all the steps to get citizenship it would be revoked.

John Fabbricatore, former field office director for ICE’s Denver office, said in a post on X the Biden administration prevented him from deporting Vizguerra four years ago, and called her an “open-borders, abolish-ICE advocate.”

Being unlawfully present in the US and trying to dictate our laws is a bad mix.

Bummer: Trump Admin Looking To Eliminate EPA Scam Science Research Arm

Well, maybe they should have been doing good research, instead of climate scam and wasteful stuff

Trump Administration Aims to Eliminate E.P.A.’s Scientific Research Arm

climate change joke

The Environmental Protection Agency plans to eliminate its scientific research arm, firing as many as 1,155 chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists, according to documents reviewed by Democrats on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.

The strategy is part of large-scale layoffs, known as a “reduction in force,” being planned by the Trump administration, which is intent on shrinking the federal work force. Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the E.P.A., has said he wants to eliminate 65 percent of the agency’s budget. That would be a drastic reduction — one that experts said could hamper clean water and wastewater improvements, air quality monitoring, the cleanup of toxic industrial sites, and other parts of the agency’s mission.

The E.P.A.’s plan, which was presented to White House officials on Friday for review, calls for dissolving the agency’s largest department, the Office of Research and Development, and purging up to 75 percent of the people who work there.

Well, then the people still on the EPA payroll can do the actual job, rather than being scam cultists. They can stop trying to force an agenda on American citizens, knowing that the they, the employees, will not be held accountable. Here’s from Steve Milloy on the NY Times article

My comment: In March 1992, the a blue ribbon panel of EPA’s Science Advisory Board told EPA in a report called “Safeguarding the Future: Credible Science, Credible Decisions” that “Science should never be adjusted to fit policy.” But EPA staff has continued to do the exact opposite. EPA has proven itself incapable of doing honest science so scientific research should be separated from the agency. A copy of “Safeguarding the Future” is available here: junkscience.com/wp-content/upl

It’s not even so much that so many EPA employees are making the science fit policy: they are simply doing the work of a doomsday cult, and trying to make their own policy.

The remaining employees can do what the EPA is supposed to do, like clean water, clean air, clean land. They won’t have time to enact their own personal agendas.

Representative Zoe Lofgren of California, the top Democrat on the science committee, said that without the Office of Research and Development, the E.P.A. would not be able to meet its legal obligation to use the “best available science” when writing regulations and considering policy. She also said that the office was created by congressional statute and that dissolving it would be illegal.

Perhaps they need to stop writing regulations and such, because anything actually needs to come from Congress. The EPA, like most agencies, just decides to do whatever the hell they want to do to support their beliefs, rather than what the agency is tasked with.

DOJ/FBI Task Force To Investigate Hamas And Hamas Supporters

Oh, this is going to make Democratic Party voters very, very unhinged. How dare Der Fuhrer Trump allow the Stasi to go after people supporting Hamas! Maybe they should have considered the ability of the DOJ to investigate support of Hamas, threatening and harassing Jews, and threatening Israel, taking over buildings violently which receive federal money, when they supported the DOJ to use every resource to find grandmas who peacefully walked through the halls of Congress on J6

The Justice Department and FBI announce a new task force to target Hamas over Oct. 7 attack

The Justice Department on Monday announced the creation of a task force to investigate Hamas for its Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel as well as potential civil rights violations and acts of antisemitism by anyone supporting the militant group.

Agents and prosecutors participating in Joint Task Force October 7, or JTF 10-7, will investigate and look to bring charges against Hamas militants directly responsible for the rampage in southern Israel, the department said.

“The barbaric Hamas terrorists will not win — and there will be consequences,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement announcing the task force.

The Biden administration’s Justice Department unsealed charges last September against Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and other senior militants in connection with the attack on Israel. The impact of the case is mostly symbolic given that Sinwar was killed by Israeli forces weeks later and several other defendants are believed now to be dead.

Well, there’s not all that much they can do about the Hamas members in Gaza, but, what of those who finance it and direct it in other countries? And

Monday’s announcement said the task force, made up of prosecutors and FBI officials, also will investigate civil rights violations and potential acts of terrorism by anyone providing support or financing to Hamas.

It did not define what sort of support would be illegal, though federal law makes it a crime to provide material support to designated foreign terrorist organizations such as Hamas.

It didn’t need to. There are laws on the books which say what support would be illegal. I would bet that they won’t be picking up American citizens, but, will be looking for foreigners on some sort of legalized status. Will they go as far as looking at those who were gifted citizenship, which can be revoked? I doubt they will prosecute, but, they might name. I would also bet that the announcement is meant to be a warning to those here on some sort of legalized status to get out now before they get picked up, to “self deport”, much like how the Trump admin has done it with illegal aliens.

Democrats have zero room to complain after their Stasi-like J6 investigation, the way they scooped people up and put them in solitary confinement with no bail for minor charges.

Vermont Is Looking To Repeal Key Climate (scam) Measure

Now, why would they do it? It couldn’t possibly be due to it being very costly, could it?

Costly Vermont Clean Heat Standard set for repeal

A key piece of the Legislature’s global warming strategy could be shelved. A bill moving through the Vermont Statehouse would repeal the Clean Heat Standard.

It all comes down to money. Democrats in the Legislature have moved to position Vermont as a leader in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But Republicans say Vermonters can’t afford it, and with green energy subsidies expected to get the ax in Congress, Vermont lawmakers are looking at a different approach.

“I just don’t think Vermonters can afford it,” said Sen. Scott Beck, R-Caledonia County.

Pushback in the People’s House over the Clean Heat Standard. The Clean Heat Standard was intended to push Vermonters to adopt clean energy for heating their homes and businesses by placing higher costs on climate-polluting fossil fuels. Estimates show it would cost taxpayers over $950 million over the next decade.

But following the results of the November election and a renewed focus on affordability, lawmakers on the Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee believe now may not be the time.

“It’s in the planet’s best interest to reduce carbon usage and carbon emissions, but I think the reality is that we can only go as fast as the technology and the affordability of that technology allows for,” Beck said.

“I think we need to be able to move forward with our climate priorities in a way that is actually affordable for Vermonters,” said Sen. Anne Watson, D-Washington County.

Yup, money. It’s easy for the rich Warmists to comply (but, do they really?), but, the average Vermonter will find it difficult, especially when it’s their own money, not Someone Else’s. Heck, when you have Democrats saying this you know it is bad. And it’s not like Vermont is a warm in the winter state. I love watching the webcams from Vermont to see the snow. This is a great one. 55,000 Vermonters use natural gas, out of about 648K. But, that doesn’t account for those with outdoor liquefied natural gas/propane storage containers.

Surprise: Deported Brown U Doctor Was A Big Fan Of Hezbollah Leader

This is typical of what were were getting from US Credentialed Media outlets

Most failed to do Basic Journalism 101 and get details prior to publication and/or tweeting, they just went with the pro-terrorist and hate-Jews/America/Trump coalition. Eventually, though

Deported Brown University doctor acknowledged she attended Hezbollah leader’s funeral on visit to Lebanon, source says

A Brown University assistant professor and doctor was deported over the weekend from Boston to Lebanon after federal agents found photos of former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Iran’s supreme leader on her cell phone, a source familiar with the case told CNN.

Following Dr. Rasha Alawieh’s return Thursday from a visit to Lebanon, federal agents at Boston Logan International Airport found the photos, the source familiar said. It was not immediately clear why officers were examining her phone.

The existence of the photos was outlined in a court filing Monday obtained by CNN affiliate WCVB. “In explaining why these multiple photos were deleted by her one to two days before she arrived at Logan Airport, Dr. Alawieh stated that she did not want to give authorities the perception that she supports Hezbollah and the Ayatollah politically or militarily,” the filing reads, per WCVB.

“I think if you listen to one of his sermons, you would know what I mean,” Alawieh allegedly told the agents, according to WCVB’s copy of the filing. “He is a religious, spiritual person. As I said, he has very high value. His teachings are about spirituality and morality.”

Alawieh, 34, acknowledged to federal agents she attended Nasrallah’s February 23 funeral – a public event attended by thousands – during her visit, said the source.

So, she supports Nasrallah, supports Hezzbollah, and supports Islamic jihad, which hates Jews and hates Americans.

“Foreign nationals who promote extremist ideologies or carry terrorist propaganda are inadmissible to the US, plain and simple,” CBP spokesperson Hilton Beckham told CNN Monday.

When she arrived in Boston on March 11th she was detained, then deported, and is now back in Lebanon with her US designated terrorist group pals. Do Democrats really want to support a terrorist group supporter?

Doom: Hawaii Is Sinking 40 Times Faster, And It Is Your Fault

No, really

Seriously, this is not unexpected, because the islands are created by hot spots in the Pacific, so, you get erosion and subsistence as the hot spot moves on for a variety of reasons, including depressing the sea bed. But, you know the climate cult had to jump in. From the article

California isn’t the only coastal oasis that’s at risk of submersion. Scientists have revealed that certain regions on the island of Oahu, Hawaii are sinking into the sea 40 times faster than predicted, which could jeopardize homes and businesses.

Conditions have gotten so dire that low-lying areas in Honolulu, Waikiki and Pearl Harbor could be inundated in the coming decades with infrastructure damage projected to cost billions of dollars.

And cult we go

“In rapidly subsiding areas, sea level rise impacts will be felt much sooner than previously estimated,” said Kyle Murray, a geophysicist at Honolulu’s University Of Hawaii at Manoa who co-authored the apocalyptic study, which was published in Communications Earth & Environment, according to Earth.com.

The team was investigating the effects of sinking land masses amid the surge in rising seas due to climate change, which they felt could combine to cause extreme flooding in Oahu.

“Rising sea levels due to climate change are already increasing coastal flood risks in low-lying neighborhoods around Honolulu, and this new study shows that sinking land could significantly amplify those risks,” Dr. Kristina Dahl, vice president for science at Climate Central, told the DailyMail.com.

To examine this phenomenon, researchers spent nearly twenty years analyzing satellite data from the Hawaiian Islands, “referencing them with Global Navigation Satellite System measurements to calculate subsidence rates,” per the study.

You know, they could have simply gone to the NOAA Tides and Gauges website and view the long term data. For instance, since Honolulu is mentioned, the gauge goes back to 1905, and has the “equivalent to a change of 0.51 feet in 100 years.” That’s 6 inches. I’ve mentioned numerous times that the average for the Holocene, the last 8,000 years since the end of the huge jump post-glacial age, is 6-8 inches per century. A warm period should be much higher, since a cool period will be much lower to possibly negative. That’s how averages work, right? Even the Big Island, with all it’s active volcanoes, only gets 1.03 feet per century

That’s the Royal Hawaiian from the 1930s. The pink building in tweet is the same. Where’s all the sea rise?

Shots Fired: Trump Declares Biden Pardons Void Over Use Of Autopen

Trump posted this on his Truth Social copied to Twitter, just late enough Sunday night to mess up the print schedule for US newspapers

The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!

If Biden wasn’t competent enough to stand trial, was he competent to have his autopen sign pardons? And was he actually signing them via autopen? Or were others doing it?

Trump also did this

(Fox News) President Donald Trump trolled former President Joe Biden in a social media post on Sunday, highlighting the controversy surrounding his alleged “autopen signatures” during his presidency.

On Truth Social, Trump posted three images side-by-side – his official portrait from his first term, a picture of Biden’s autopen and then finally his official portrait for his second term.

Trump then pinned the post.

Trump spoke about the autopen signature issue while speaking from the Oval Office on Friday about NATO spending.

“The man was grossly incompetent. All you have to do is take a look, he signs by autopen. Who was signing all this stuff by autopen? Who would think to sign important documents by autopen?” Trump asked reporters.

As has been noted so many times, who was actually running the country? Why did Biden have so many signatures via autopen?

Is it possible to put Biden on the stand and require him to testify about knowledge of the pardons? However, it would be more fun dragging many of the people Biden pardoned up in front of Congress, because they would not be able to take the 5th. They would have to answer. But, it doesn’t seem as if the GOP controlled Congress will do that anytime soon, if ever, so, taking away the pardons will freak those people out, like, say, Andrew Fauci, and all the evil he did with COVID-19.
