Democrats Suggest Ignoring Courts Over Abortion Pill Ruling

By William Teach April 9, 2023 – 7:00 am

I’ve noted before that Democrats love the idea of Democracy, right up till they lose votes. They love the courts, right up till they lose a case. At those points, things must change, otherwise it means The End Of Democracy. And now they suggest ignoring court rulings

Ignore the courts? Some Democrats say Texas abortion pill ruling demands it.

The Biden administration has rushed to appeal a Texas judge’s ruling that could suspend the approval of abortion pills nationwide and jeopardize access to the most common method of terminating a pregnancy.

Some Democrats say that’s not enough.

The judge appointed by former President Donald Trump sided with anti-abortion groups who said the FDA’s two-decade old approval of the drug mifepristone is unlawful and should be tossed, but the ruling won’t go into effect for a week to give the administration time to seek an emergency stay from higher courts.

Now, senators, representatives, state officials and advocacy groups are calling on President Joe Biden to defy the U.S. District Court judge and use his executive powers to protect the drugs’ availability even before the case is heard by the conservative-leaning 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

“I believe the Food and Drug Administration has the authority to ignore this ruling, which is why I’m again calling on President Biden and the FDA to do just that,” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said Friday. “The FDA, doctors, and pharmacies can and must go about their jobs like nothing has changed and keep mifepristone accessible to women across America. If they don’t, the consequences of banning the most common method of abortion in every single state will be devastating.”

Regardless of whether this is a correct or incorrect ruling, the courts are there to determine the legality and Constitutionality of laws passed by the Legislative Branch and things coming from the Executive Branch. That’s the way the system is set up. Democrats just cannot abide losing

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) backed Wyden’s call in a CNN interview Friday, arguing that the “deeply partisan and unfounded nature” of the court’s decision undermines its own legitimacy and the White House should “ignore” it.

So, it would be just fine for Donald Trump to ignore the hyper-partisan prosecution by Alvin Bragg? Ignore the NY legal system? How about the other ones attempting to go after him? She and the other Democrats would be fine with that, right?

Democrats might want to rethink this strategy, hence it boomerang back on them at the state level and next time a Republican wins the White House.

Your Fault: Climate Crisis (scam) My Drive More Hurricanes Towards East Coast

By William Teach April 8, 2023 – 3:00 pm

Horary, yet another crazy prognostication from the cult. How many have we seen? More hurricanes, fewer hurricanes, fewer but more powerful, climate change causing trade winds to kill them in the Atlantic, category 6 hurricanes, more rainfall, less rainfall, more flooding, faster moving, slower moving. Remember when they said the big 2005 season would be the new normal, then the US went through it’s longest period since the Civil War era without a landfalling major hurricane? And even landfalling low level hurricanes barely happened for 10 years. The U.S. east and gulf coasts barely saw tropical storms make landfall. And now

Climate change may drive more hurricanes towards the US east coast

The winds that steer hurricanes may shift due to climate change, sending more storms over the eastern and southern coasts of the US. The change in wind patterns – driven by warmer waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean – could also make the storms stronger.

Each year, around 10 hurricanes form over the western Atlantic Ocean, but only two on average make landfall over the eastern US. Whether or not they do is decided by large-scale wind patterns around each storm. Models of how winds would change under various climate change scenarios have produced mixed results, and the limited record of actual storms making landfall shows no obvious trends of changes with warming so far.

So, they’re portending based on computer models that do not agree, but, going with the worst case scenario, which really has nothing to do with ‘climate change’ but, the potential for an El Nino in 2023. A completely natural occurrence, which happens off and on again and again and again. And scientists really do not understand why the Pacific flips between it and La Nina.

Karthik Balaguru at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington state and his colleagues have now used the latest climate models to simulate hurricane paths with warming under a high-emissions scenario.

They project that the number of hurricanes making landfall over the eastern US would increase by around 37 per cent by the end of the century, with the greatest increase over the Gulf of Mexico and the US east coast south of Virginia. They found there would be a small decrease in hurricanes making landfall further north.

Ah, so they are fortelling for the future. In just under 80 years. Because all the heralding from the Cult of Climastrology have worked out so well. If the news media had any work ethic, they would demand all these “scientists” declare what will happen over the next 5 years and see how close they can get, rather than let them get away with making prophesies 50-100 years in the future, when no one will remember them and no one can be held accountable for scaremongering.

Ukraine To Export Energy In Middle Of “War”

By William Teach April 8, 2023 – 10:30 am

Whatever happened to the war in Ukraine? It’s no longer top news at the big outlets. You might get one way down the webpage article. It’s war, right? A big war? One about The Future Of Democracy, right?

Ukraine to export electricity again after months of Russian attacks

Ukraine is able to export electricity for the first time in six months as its energy infrastructure recovers from months of repeated Russian attacks.

Russia began its lengthy and deliberate assault on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure last October.

It led to power cuts and scheduled blackouts, leaving towns and cities in darkness during winter.

Ukraine was forced to stop electricity exports – but will now be able to sell its excess power again.

Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko signed an executive order authorising the exports, although local customers remain the priority.

He said the system had been producing extra capacity for almost two months and that Ukrainians were not facing restrictions.

This is confusing. They’re at war. Yet, they’re going to export power? Combine this with Ukraine exporting grain via an agreement with the nation they’re at war with, and this looks less like a war and more like a scam. Yes, yes, they are fighting, but, are we hearing about vast amounts of people being killed, especially civilians? Vast amounts of damage? Is Russia going hard after the nation? It’s not like they have a small military that’s matched with Ukraine. Could the Russian military be that bad? Or, could this be a plan to bleed the West of money and arms? To distract them? Because most nations aren’t bothering with sanctions except the West. And now Japan is going to be buying oil from Russia.

Could this all be a big scam? Because it’s not looking like Russia really wants to win.

Meanwhile, at our Woke Pentagon

Pentagon investigating how Ukraine war document marked top-secret appeared online

A document marked “top secret” that depicts the daily disposition of forces in Ukraine was leaked and has shown up on social media, a U.S. official confirmed.

This official said that someone apparently took a picture of the document and posted it on Telegram, a social media platform that has over 500 million users, and from there, it was picked up on Twitter. Pentagon officials are working to remove the classified information from social media.

A second official said the Pentagon is trying to determine how the material leaked and how serious the leak is.

And then, on Friday, classified government documents covering not only Ukraine, but other parts of the world started showing up on social media, suggesting that there has been a major compromise of Pentagon secrets.

Perhaps the Pentagon should worry less about Woke and more on security. Perhaps they should be a little more cautious in who they bring in, retain, and put in positions of security.

Cult Members Glue Themselves To Road In Switzerland

By William Teach April 8, 2023 – 7:15 am

Wait, you thought this kind of bat guano insane cultish behavior was going to end?

Climate change activists glue themselves to road to Alpine tunnel

Climate change activists brought holiday traffic to a halt in Switzerland on Friday when they blocked the main route beneath the Alps to demand urgent action against global warming.

Protesters from the group Renovate Switzerland glued themselves to the motorway surface around the northern entrance to the Gotthard Tunnel, the group said.

The 17 km (10 mile) tunnel is one of the main routes connecting northern Switzerland to Italy, and is a bottleneck for travellers heading from northern Europe southwards.

Police were called to the scene and eventually removed the seven protesters, who held a banner saying “renovate”, after their action began just after 10 a.m.

“Renovate Switzerland is back on the streets,” the group said via Twitter. “This is an appeal to our fellow citizens. Let’s demand together that the Swiss government finally declares a climate emergency.”

Too bad that government can’t take a poll to see who wants a climate emergency declared, then slap a big tax on those citizens, along with restricting them from using fossil fuels to travel, heating cannot be above 60, AC can’t be below 80, no natural gas appliances, no ice makers, no new clothes, limitations on how much they can stream, at least for a start. See how they enjoy living with the fruits of their advocacy.

Nike Decides To Alienate Even More Customers By Doubling Down

By William Teach April 8, 2023 – 7:00 am

Was it particularly wise of Nike to feature an unhinged lunatic playing at being a “girl”, really, making a mockery of women, to advertise women’s clothing? Did they consider that it would drive away at least half the customer base, who can purchase Under Armor, New Balance, Brooks, and a myriad number of brands instead of Nike? They already have a reputation of using child labor. So, what too do? Double down!

Nike responds to backlash over Dylan Mulvaney partnership, instructs customers to ‘Be kind, be inclusive’

unintended consequencesAthletic apparel giant Nike doubled down on its decision to use transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in marketing campaigns to promote the company’s female clothing.

In a pinned comment to Nike’s verified Instagram account, the company instructed customers to “Be kind, be inclusive … Encourage each other.”

The response came amid calls for a boycott of the company shortly after Mulvaney, who identifies as female, appeared in paid social media content dancing in Nike women’s sportswear.

Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies has been one of the athletes leading calls for customers to stop buying Nike’s products. (snip)

“The ad feels like a parody of what women are. In the past, it was always seen as an insult to say ‘run like a girl,’ and here we’ve got someone behaving in a way that’s very unsporty and very unathletic. And it’s so frustrating when only 1% of the USA sponsorship dollar goes to females in sport. That Nike would do this feels like a kick in the teeth.”

So, of course

In Friday’s social media response, Nike vowed to remove any comments that were not “in the spirit of a diverse and inclusive community.”

“You are an essential component to the success of your community! We welcome comments that contribute to a positive and constructive discussion: Be kind… Be inclusive… Encourage each other… Hate speech, bullying, or other behaviors that are not in the spirit of a diverse and inclusive community will be deleted,” Nike wrote.

Nike was really just starting to get sales back after their unhinged support of hater Colin Kapernick, so, let’s see what happens to their sales and stock now.

Who’s Up For A Climate Cafe At A Brewery To Discuss Climate Doom?

By William Teach April 7, 2023 – 3:00 pm

In fairness, if they want to do this, go for it. I wonder how long this cult business will last when they do this silly stuff?

Climate Cafe creates space for climate change conversations

What does a positive climate future look like to you?

What are you going to do to achieve that future?

What are you not willing to give up?

These are the kind of questions people asked each other during the Climate Cafe this week at Theoretically Brewing in Lethbridge, Alta.

The setup is simple.

People come to the brewery and split into groups at different tables. There, they talk to each other steered by prompts provided by Environment Lethbridge, a sustainability and environment focused non-profit organization.

So, a bunch of climate cultists coming together to whine and say cult things. Did they all take a fossil fueled trip to the brewery? Do they understand that making beer requires lots of carbon dioxide?

Executive director Kathleen Sheppard says that while there are places for people to learn about climate change, the organization noticed a gap when it comes to talking about it, particularly regarding solutions.

“I feel like a lack of understanding of the problem isn’t necessarily the thing that’s stopping people from taking action, it’s that feeling that the problem is really big and really overwhelming.”

Right, right, because the climate crisis (scam) never gets discussed. I turn on the Weather Channel to get, you know, the weather, and it’s an early morning indoctrination piece on Hotcoldwetdry. So, I switched to the local News 14.

Meanwhile

Globe-trotting architect takes aim at climate change

Sarah Broughton – who with partner John Rowland launched Rowland + Broughton 20 years ago in Aspen – is on a four-month whirlwind across the nation and world to showcase Colorado’s architectural solutions to climate change and use of sustainability in design.

She’s also the president of the American Institute of Architects’ Colorado Chapter, which has 2,500 members, and recently returned from a conference in Washington, D.C. Soon, she’ll be off to Italy.

“It was an incredible experience. We were lobbying on the hill and really talking about what it means to be a citizen architect,” she said.

The gathering of colleagues from across the nation energized her.

Building buildings isn’t all that climate friendly, eh, especially the massive hotel she’s involved in. Nor is traveling all around the world, nor having a massive gathering of colleagues from across the nation. You know they’re all coming in fossil fueled vehicles and airplanes. Would you listen to a fat guy telling you how to reduce your weight? A person with no muscle telling you how to work out?

Who’s Up For Robot Waiters?

By William Teach April 7, 2023 – 10:30 am

The fight for $15 crowd, which is now advocating for over $20 an hour, should be proud of their work in making sure fewer and fewer jobs are available. We’ve already seen more and more self-ordering screens at restaurants and grocery stores, more of cooking the food be automated, and more of pushing consumers to order online/with an app and pay at the same time. All this reduces the need for all those workers. And now

Are robot waiters the future? Some restaurants think so

You may have already seen them in restaurants: waist-high machines that can greet guests, lead them to their tables, deliver food and drinks and ferry dirty dishes to the kitchen. Some have cat-like faces and even purr when you scratch their heads.

But are robot waiters the future? It’s a question the restaurant industry is increasingly trying to answer.

Many think robot waiters are the solution to the industry’s labor shortages. Sales of them have been growing rapidly in recent years, with tens of thousands now gliding through dining rooms worldwide.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that this is where the world is going,” said Dennis Reynolds, dean of the Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership at the University of Houston. The school’s restaurant began using a robot in December, and Reynolds says it has eased the workload for human staff and made service more efficient.

But others say robot waiters aren’t much more than a gimmick that have a long way to go before they can replace humans. They can’t take orders, and many restaurants have steps, outdoor patios and other physical challenges they can’t adapt to.

But, those orders can be taken on touchscreens at the tables, which is not new. The restaurants will adapt their layouts for the robots. Who’s initial outlay could be expensive, but, the lifetime cost will be less. Plus, they don’t complain, they don’t show up late, they do not call out sick, they don’t talk back to customers, management, or cause Drama. They do not need health care or vacation time. All they need is some maintenance.

Still, the robots are proliferating. Redwood City, California-based Bear Robotics introduced its Servi robot in 2021 and expects to have 10,000 deployed by the end of this year in 44 U.S. states and overseas. Shenzen, China-based Pudu Robotics, which was founded in 2016, has deployed more than 56,000 robots worldwide.

Well, they can’t say that they weren’t told this would happen. When you continually increase labor costs for general labor work. Eventually it becomes cost effective to just replace you. Especially as technology has caught up. General labor workers need to learn a skill, and become skilled labor. All those low skilled folks will find themselves going from $15 to $0.
