Climate Cultists Push Brandon To Declare Climate Emergency Or Something

By William Teach August 21, 2023 – 10:30 am

Nothing makes more sense than taking a long fossil fueled jumbo jet to Hawaii, followed by a backup jumbo jet and several fighter jets, then jumping in a low MPG limo with a large retinue of fossil fueled vehicles, perhaps a fossil fueled helicopter ride and then declaring a climate emergency in an island state that would revert to 3rd world status without fossil fuels

Biden faces calls to declare climate emergency as he heads to Maui

As President Joe Biden prepares to visit Maui, the Hawaiian island devastated by the deadliest wildfire in U.S. modern history, lawmakers and climate groups are begging the White House to do more to prevent future climate-related disasters.

Their argument: If the latest environmental catastrophe won’t spur the president into action, what will?

The fires, likely sparked by the island’s electric utility and heightened by climate change impacts, swept through the Pacific paradise last week, killing at least 110 people and leaving the famed town of Lahaina smoldering in ruins. As survivors search for missing family members and friends, and a housing crisis unfolds amid the vast destruction, climate activists and members of Congress are urging Biden to declare a national emergency over climate change.

In case you haven’t noticed, that’s that climate cult cop-out: sure, it wasn’t caused by ‘climate change’, but, it was made worse. Because, apparently, it’s your fault that they imported non-native grasses that are like tinder. And failed to cut them back. And failed to use the warning sirens. And failed to turn the power off during high winds. And failed to provide the necessary water. The government knew about the potential for horrific fires all the way back in 2014.

Alongside climate groups, many of Biden’s allies in Congress have urged him to invoke emergency powers, which would enable the president to take sweeping action to restrain greenhouse gas production, implement large-scale clean transportation solutions and finance distributed energy projects, among other actions.

“The devastation in Maui is a clear sign that the president must declare a climate emergency — now. While FEMA is providing resources to the local heroes on the ground fighting for the lives and livelihoods of Hawaiians, the underlying climate-driven conditions of drought, extreme heat, environmental injustice, and non-resilient infrastructure will remain,” Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) said in a statement to POLITICO.

And not one reporter will ask Markey or any of the other Warmists saying this if they’ve given up their own use of fossil fuels and made their lives carbon neutral.

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), who has long called on Biden to take this step, said that if the devastation in Hawaii isn’t a national emergency, “what is?”

“I refuse to accept that people choosing between burning alive or jumping into the ocean for hours on end is our new normal. This is a crisis and we need to treat it that way. That starts with President Biden declaring a national climate emergency to unlock vast federal resources and emergency powers to help our communities prepare for and recover from these deadly climate disasters,” he added.

Never mentioned are the details of declaring a climate (scam) emergency. What power are involved? How will this effect citizen’s lives? What will they be forced to do? What will this cost them? As the saying goes, the devil’s in the details.

Meanwhile, Brandon will be flying out of Reno at 1140am east coast time, landing in Maui at 510pm east coast time, and leaving at 1125pm east coast time, which means he’s giving them about 4 hours of actual time. It should be interesting to see what he does. Will he visit Lahaina, going in when residents are not allowed back?

Of Course: Barren Disney Parks Blamed On Hotcoldwetdry

By William Teach August 21, 2023 – 7:15 am

It really is a catchall excuse

Nolte: ‘Barren’ Disney Theme Parks Blamed on Climate Change

“Disney [theme park] attendance has dropped substantially,” reports Inside the Magic.com. The terms “ghost town” and “barren” are being used to describe this stunning turn of events.

What’s to blame? Well, I can tell what is certainly not to blame, and that’s having anything to do with Disney’s head-first dive into identity and sexual politics. No, no, no, no… Disney’s obsession with race and gender has done nothing to do with killing the magic—even though almost all of Disney’s movies are bombing and Disney+ is losing hundreds of thousands of subscribers and billions of dollars.

And Disney’s ongoing efforts to groom childing by seeding kiddie content with drag queens, transsexual propaganda, and homosexuality certainly has nothing to do with it. (snip)

Disney’s attendance has dropped substantially, but while there is worry about Bob Iger deceiving attendees and the area being a “ghost town,” the answer can also relate to something simpler: weather. While weather and climate change are inherently different, the impacts of climate change on Disney show in meteorological events.

Who wants to go to the theme park when it’s rained out? Why would you risk bringing the family to Disneyland Resort if there is smoke in the air from a fire? These events are getting more common, and the inability to plan for them is one huge way climate change impacts Disney.

…

That results in diminished theme park attendance, simply due to safety reasons. Climate change impacts Disney, without a doubt, and the impacts extend from Disneyland Paris to any Walt Disney Parks location across the globe. (the italic is from the “ghost town” link)

Except, other theme parks, such as Universal, are doing just fine. And it has always been hot and humid in Florida, and always a good chance of an afternoon storm. Virtually every single wildfire is from someone either being stupid, negligent, or intentional. And some lightning strikes, which have always happened.

But those lies won’t work for the Disney Grooming Syndicate. The DGS is a business. It must make profits, or it goes out of business. Having sycophants blame Climate Change (which is a hoax) might soothe Wall Street for a little while, but the bottom line is the bottom line, and propaganda keeps only governments in business, not corporations.

Disney is hemorrhaging cash and customers. If other parks are doing well, why not Disney? You can bet that a ton of visitors from Asia at the California park are avoiding it because they do not like the grooming stuff. It doesn’t play well in Asia, be it China, South Korea, Japan, or others. And many, many visit California.

Besides, wouldn’t the Warmists want Disney gone, since people take lots and lots of fossil fueled travel to get there, plus the huge amount of fossil fuels and energy required to run Disney?

Georgia Election Workers Will Get Justice In Trump Prosecution

By William Teach August 21, 2023 – 7:00 am

But, hey, remember, this is all about the legal justice system, which is blind, right?

Georgia Trump indictment invokes justice for election workers

Sprinkled throughout the sweeping Georgia indictment covering every aspect of former President Trump’s effort to overturn the state’s 2020 election are references to one woman: poll worker Ruby Freeman.

The Fulton County election staffer was helping count ballots in the state when she was singled out by Trump and his then-attorney Rudy Giuliani and accused of mishandling ballots, sparking a wave of threats against Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss.

Freeman’s name appears some 40 times in the indictment, a detail Gwen Keyes Fleming, a former district attorney (DA) in Georgia, said reflects that there are “actual identifiable victims that the DA’s office is sworn to protect,” in addition to the voters in the state whose will Trump sought to deny.

“This indictment is an attempt to also recognize the alleged individual victimization of a poll worker who was simply trying to be of service to her county,” Keyes Fleming said.

Well, DA Fani Willis better hope the Trump team doesn’t have any damaging information on Freeman

Freeman spoke to investigators from the House committee reviewing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, recounting how she and her daughter, another former election worker, faced a harassment campaign following the accusations.

“Do you know how it feels to have the president of the United States target you?” Freeman asked in her deposition, which aired during one of the committee’s public hearings. “The president of the United States is supposed to represent every American, not to target one.”

What did she have to do with J6? Further, Obama and Biden have made it quite clear they did not/do not represent every American, just the ones that agree with them.

Let’s be honest, though: this insane indictment against Trump will never go to trial. It’s way too insane, it violates multiple Georgia and US Constitutional provisions, it contains hundreds of thousands of pages, which certainly will see Trump’s council unable to go through all of it. A judge may well quash it before it starts as an over-reach and a partisan political witchhunt. It’s really meant to jam up Trump and his legal team, make him spend money on this instead of his campaign, make it difficult to campaign, and put you citizens who do not agree with Democrats on notice that you could be next. It’s lawfare. When do all the Democrats who complained about elections get prosecuted?

More: what the hell is this?

‘Dr. King Is Smiling’: Atlanta Takes Center Stage in the Political Trial of the Century

Here, at the Fulton County Courthouse, smack dab in downtown Atlanta, the vibe is decidedly hushed. In the coming months, this 112-year-old courthouse will be aswarm with activity — ground zero in the battle over democracy — when 19 defendants, including a former president, will stand trial for allegedly trying to overturn an election. But that legal reckoning is many months away. Right now, the only evidence of what’s to come are the barricades stretching up and down the block and a battalion of TV trucks camped out across the street, waiting. There is the sense of life put on pause, an anxious sort of calm before the judicial storm.

I’m here, having hopped on a plane from DC, traveling to my hometown to see how the ATL is handling being the site of what is likely to be the political trial of the century. I spent my adolescence here, and I’ve got deep, Old School, Old Guard, Black Atlanta roots. But having absconded from the city many years ago, I’m always amazed at how my once sleepy Southern burg has morphed into the Hollywood of the South, a sprawling metropolis — accounting for nearly half the population of the entire state of Georgia — complete with movie studios, record labels, tech startups and traffic. Lots and lots and lots of traffic.

Back in the day, Atlanta was the cradle of the civil rights movement, home to activist icons like Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, Sr., Julian Bond, Rep. John Lewis and C.T. Vivian, a hub of Black exceptionalism. That’s a history the city wears consciously, as evidenced here by the plethora of murals, museums and streets — some named after the parents and grandparents of kids I grew up with. And now Atlanta, the so-called Black Mecca, is the epicenter of a fight over the peaceful transfer of power. As I tool around Atlanta, I encounter Atlantans who are very conscious of the significance of this trial — and of how, once again, their city will play an important role in making American history.

Huh what? How did they make a jump to something racial? Some people can never move past their racial beliefs, it’s their whole identity. Perhaps they should wonder why so many non-blacks have moved out of Atlanta into the suburbs, and why Atlanta has a pretty poor crime rate. The article is just full of racialism, very, very silly.

Strange: Queens Residents Are Upset Over Putting A Bunch Of Illegals In The Neighborhood

By William Teach August 20, 2023 – 7:00 am

Why are they upset? This is what they consistently vote for, unfettered illegal immigration. Why are they not opening their own doors?

https://twitter.com/_AmericanDad_/status/1692623979746382191

EXCLUSIVE: Migrants Transferred from Bronx Hotel to Queens Village Tents — Locals Protest Move

Migrant asylum seekers staying at a Bronx hotel in New York City were promptly evicted on Thursday and taken to a soft-sided shelter in Queens Village, according to one of those moved. Despite recent protests by local residents concerned about the arrival of an expected 1,000 single adult migrants, the transfers from the Bronx hotel began Thursday afternoon. Migrants were bused in, taken to an intake room, and processed into the facility by New York City homeless shelter staff members.

The shelter, near the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens, has been the site of protests carried out by residents near the shelter who are unhappy with the expected arrival of up to 1,000 single adult migrants being transferred from New York City hotels. According to Mayor Eric Adams, single adult migrants are moving from the hotels to make way for migrant family units. Breitbart Texas received photographs of the migrant transfer process from a Venezuelan migrant formerly residing at the Bronx hotel.

The government of the Sanctuary City of New York was nice enough to provide a letter to the illegals telling them they’re being shipped out. Interestingly

If you cannot move to Queens, and you have an alternative place to go, or if you wish to return to your country of origin, we beg that you notify us as soon as possible. We will do everything possible to help you during this transition.

Go home? How about just telling them to stay home? Oh, and the Democrat for NY’s 4th District, Gregory Meeks, won 75.1 to Paul King (R) at 24.8, so, yeah, most of those people complaining voted Democrat.

Say, What Are The Best TikTok Dances To Stop Global Boiling?

By William Teach August 19, 2023 – 3:00 pm

The NY Times is taking us down a whole new stupid road, and doesn’t even realize it

With TikTok and Lawsuits, Gen Z Takes on Climate Change

As Kaliko Teruya was coming home from her hula lesson on August 8, her father called. The apartment in Lahaina was gone, he said, and he was running for his life.

He was trying to escape the deadliest American wildfire in more than a century, an inferno in Hawaii fueled by powerful winds from a faraway hurricane and barely hindered by the state’s weak defenses against natural disasters.

Her father survived. But for Kaliko, 13, the destruction of the past week has reinforced her commitment to a cause that is coming to define her generation.

“The fire was made so much worse due to climate change,” she said. “How many more natural disasters have to happen before grown-ups realize the urgency?”

Like a growing number of young people, Kaliko is engaged in efforts to raise awareness about global warming and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, last year she and 13 other young people, age 9 to 18, sued their home state, Hawaii, over its use of fossil fuels.

Have they all given up their own use of fossil fuels? No?

With active lawsuits in five states, TikTok videos that mix humor and outrage, and marches in the streets, it’s a movement that is seeking to shape policy, sway elections and shift a narrative that its proponents say too often emphasizes climate catastrophes instead of the need to make the planet healthier and cleaner.

TikTok is considered the worst of all social media for their “carbon footprint.” And it entices users to travel all over to make their videos. Hawaii wouldn’t survive without fossil fuels, but, hey, let’s see them try. Every experiment needs an experimental group, right?

Chief among the frustrations of Mr. Artis and his cohort was the administration’s decision to approve Willow, a huge drilling project in Alaska. Early this year, TikTok erupted with calls for the White House to deny approvals for the project, thrusting the issue into the mainstream and giving thousands of young people a common cause. Creators juxtaposed images of Mr. Biden with collapsing glaciers, recorded tearful selfie videos and mashed up songs from “Encanto” with slide shows of cute animals.

The thing about using social media is that it’s easy. People do not really have to do much of anything. Just a quick post, a stupid video with a dance or something, and that’s it.

“Asylum” Seekers Whine That SCNY Is “Chaos”

By William Teach August 19, 2023 – 10:30 am

There’s a simple answer: stay home. You came here thinking you’d get free money, food, housing, medical care, and so forth just because you showed up

Asylum seekers in NYC say America is nothing like they had imagined: It’s ‘chaos’

For one 29-year-old Venezuelan woman, who left her two children and partner behind in her home country to embark on a six-month journey to New York City, America represented hope. There, she thought, she would find safety and the opportunity to make a living. But four months after arriving in the U.S., she says it’s nothing like she had imagined.

“It’s too difficult to come to a place where you don’t know the language,” the woman, who agreed to speak anonymously to protect her safety, told Yahoo News.

Speaking in Spanish, the woman had been standing along the granite wall of a bustling midtown Manhattan restaurant attached to the Roosevelt Hotel, which in recent months has been transformed into the city’s migrant intake center.

Why would someone do this? Leave her kids and husband? What’s the end-game? The idea here is, of course, that she gets asylum so Los Federales allow the kids and husband to immigrate. How long could that take? The system is so over-burdened it could be years. As far as the language, well, she could have learned English. That’s on her.

Like many Venezuelans who’ve come to the U.S. in recent years, the woman explained that Venezuela’s corrupt and repressive government had left her with few options at home. She embarked on the dangerous journey to the U.S. by herself, traveling through the perilous Darién Gap that connects Colombia to Panama, then multiple countries including Nicaragua and Honduras, by foot and public transportation. She stopped for weeks at a time to work only long enough to make enough money for the next leg of her trip. Since arriving in New York, she’s struggled to make money and obtain basic necessities while navigating the city’s shelter system. Eventually, she says, she hopes to bring her family to America, but she’s unsure how she will make that happen.

“I just want a job,” she said. “It is very difficult to get to a place when you have nothing.”

Were there not other countries closer she could have stayed in?

For most migrants, the prospect of finding a decent job and safety is enough to justify the arduous, and often dangerous, journey to the United States. But now that they’re here, some say the U.S. is nothing like what they had imagined.

“I thought of New York differently, but now I also see that New York is in chaos,” said a 48-year-old Ecuadorian woman who was also staying at the Roosevelt. The woman, who declined to give her name, told Yahoo News that she, her husband and their 2-year-old child escaped violence in Ecuador, traveling for two months before they eventually reached New York.

“In my country right now they are stealing, they are killing and there is no longer security, just desperation,” she said, rocking her child back and forth in a stroller on the sidewalk. “We come to look for work. When we die, we are not going to take anything with us. But we want at least to have stability to live, at least while living in this world.”

Is she talking about Ecuador or SCNY? If she, and the others, do not like it, they can leave.

Account of migrants being ‘involuntarily’ bused out of NYC sparks feud between Hochul admin, Adams’ office

Mayor Adams’ office on Friday rejected an accusation from Gov. Hochul’s administration that the city “involuntarily” bused migrants upstate earlier this month — prompting the governor’s team to double down on its explosive claim and accuse City Hall of providing misleading details about the incident.

In other words, forced busing. The same thing Adams and others accused DeSantis and Abbott of doing. Why does the Sanctuary City of New York not want the illegals?

Global Boiling Could Make Tropical Storms In California More Likely Or Something

By William Teach August 19, 2023 – 7:35 am

So, of course with Hurricane Hilary hitting California you had to know the Cult Of Climastrology would do their thing

Tropical storms are rare in Southern California, but climate change may make them more frequent

Last year, the remnants of Hurricane Kay brought flooding rains to San Diego and left more than 90 dead, many of whom died at sea. But the last time a tropical storm actually made landfall in California was 1939.

Tropical systems are so rare in Southern California because a cold ocean current acts sort of like a shield, weakening storms as they approach. But, as the Pacific Ocean is warming — along with all of our oceans from the effects of human-caused climate change — that protection is weakening.

That’s why, for the first time this season, the National Weather Service in Los Angeles and San Diego will have the ability to issue alerts for tropical storms and hurricanes.

On Friday, the first-ever Tropical Storm Watch was issued for Southern California. (snip)

Another thing scientists know for sure is that as long as we keep burning fossil fuels, we can expect hurricanes everywhere to cause a lot more flooding.

In fact, there is a long history of tropical storms hitting California, usually the remnants, going all the way back to 1854. Prior to that, there weren’t many people in California to keep track of those kinds of things. These things happen, and warmer water, especially in an El Nino year, is nothing unusual during a typical Holocene warm period. However, I suggest that the government in the People’s Republik Of California immediately ban all fossil fueled vehicles, forcing owners to sell them. Hey, that would do wonders with bringing down the cost of used cars across the US, right? Or, if the PRC wants to go full Warmist, require that they be destroyed to Save The Planet

How climate scientists feel about seeing their dire predictions come true

You are correct. It is, in fact, extremely unusual to be on hurricane watch in Southern California.

If Hurricane Hilary continues on the trajectory forecasters are currently predicting, it will be the first tropical storm to make landfall in California since 1939, and only the second one to do so since the 19th century.

If this seems like a worrying development to you, one in a string of recent climate-related disasters that seem to portend the arrival of a deeply unpleasant future, you are right about that as well.

And the people who have spent careers thinking about climate change and its likely consequences, who have read the papers and reviewed the models and warned about these potential catastrophes for years — they’re worried too.

Except, none of them made a prediction of hurricanes hitting the PRC with regularity. Hawaii has long been fire prone, especially when people do something stupid and start a fire. Same with the wildfires in Canada, most of which are thought to be caused by people being stupid. Or intentionally starting them. But, the LA Times, through it’s scaremongering interviews, is counting on the overly-broad prognostications with timeframes out 50-100 years, so, if they get one sorta right, Victory!

Oh, and if the Atlantic hurricane season turns out mild, even though they are prognosticating a higher than average season now, after saying it would be an average season, the climate cult will blame that on you.
