Voters Will Love Kamala’s Economic Plan They Aren’t Allowed To See

By William Teach September 11, 2024 – 10:30 am

We know she plans to hit companies that “price gouge”, but, how? What’s the plan? What’s the definition? Why do most economists and even Democrats say this is a bad idea? She says she will rescue the middle class (from 3 1/2 years of the Biden-Harris administration): how?

Harris has economic plan Goldman Sachs loves — but voters not allowed to see it

Vice President Kamala Harris did not trip on the debate stage, smack her head on the lectern, pass out or vomit on herself Tuesday night. She cackled only once.

So for her, it was a ringing success.

But her big, insurmountable political problem remains. Will voters cast their ballots based on a fairly unmemorable debate in which she said nothing? Or will they cast their ballots based on whether they are better off today than they were nearly four years ago when Ms. Harris and President Biden took office?

She then claimed to have a plan for an “opportunity economy” — a plan she said is approved by Goldman Sachs and Wharton School of Business. But, apparently, the plan is so super secret that she will not let voters see it until after the election.

But we know Goldman Sachs loves it!

“It’s like four sentences,” Mr. Trump joked. “Like ’run, Spot, run.’”

Well, in fairness, it is more than 4 sentences, but, it really doesn’t say much. It’s not even as detailed as the underwear gnomes plan.

As always, it was Mr. Trump against everybody else. The only one on his side Tuesday night was Lady Luck, who won him the coin flip so he got the last word.

He wondered why if Ms. Harris has all these great secret plans to fix everything she doesn’t get immediately to Washington right now and fix them since she is the sitting vice president.

Then he answered his own question. It’s because Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris are “the worst president and worst vice president in history.”

No worries, Kamala Harris will totally rescue us from the Biden-Harris administration.

September 11th 2024: Never Forget (sticky for the day)

By William Teach September 11, 2024 – 8:02 am

As I have done every year since the 5th anniversary of September 11th, I remember two wonderful individuals, Brook Jackman and Andrew Golkin, who I’ll never have a possible chance to meet and converse with, due to 19 murderous Islamist terrorists and their superiors, who attacked our country on that fateful day.

We Need New Bread For An Overheated World Or Something

By William Teach September 11, 2024 – 7:15 am

It’s always something with this doomsday cult. Did they have to do this during the previous Holocene warm periods? We know they had a lot of problems growing wheat during the Little Ice Age, which made making bread difficult

Can better bread be a climate change solution? These bakers think so

It’s a drizzly, cold spring day outside, but inside the Washington State University Breadlab in the Skagit Valley, richly scented steam billows out of a toasty commercial oven as baker Mel Darbyshire pulls out a tray of puffy mahogany loaves of bread.

“They look excellent,” she says, inhaling and examining their shiny, domed crusts. She pops one out of its tin and cuts into it. The slice looks exactly like the bread emoji — fluffy-topped and perfectly shaped — only this bread is a rich, warm brown on the inside.

That’s because it’s made from 100% whole wheat flour. And not just any whole wheat: a mix of different types of wheat called a “Climate Blend,” developed specifically to withstand the increasingly intense weather brought on by human-caused climate change. Both of those factors make this loaf a paragon for the future and a symbol of what bread can be in a climate-changed future.

On top of that, “it tastes amazing,” says Darbyshire.

That whole 1.6F increase in 174 years has been dangerous, eh?

That consistency has a price, says Jones. To produce flour that looks and behaves so consistently, the wheat it comes from has to be relatively uniform. That pushes farmers and wheat breeders to create and plant wheat varieties that are also relatively uniform, genetically selecting over time for plants of a certain height, or kernels a certain color and hardness.

Consistency is good for a product like flour; it helps keep a product like bread predictable. But it can be risky for plants themselves. In a field of plants that are genetically similar to each other — like siblings instead of two strangers from opposite sides of the world — a risk to one is a risk to all. A sensitivity to heat could wipe out a whole field, or region, if a heat wave comes along. A susceptibility to disease or pests could ruin a crop.

Jones, and many other crop scientists, have long been concerned that such selection also narrows the biodiversity of crops within a field, a farm, or even a whole region. That could, they think, increase the vulnerability of a crop. There are real-life examples of such disasters: Ireland’s Great Famine of the 1840s, for example, was driven by a potato blight disease that wiped out fields across the country and led to more than a million deaths.

But, that makes sense, because the climate, and the weather that makes up climate, is always changing. However, other reports say that wheat production is even more diversified than 100 years ago.

“If we have a chaotic climate, our strategy is to have genetic chaos in the field,” says Jones. “To strike back, to fight chaos with chaos.”

Reports Says Israel Is Offering Hamas Head Safe Passage For Release Of Hostages

By William Teach September 11, 2024 – 7:00 am

This should make the Hamas supporters happy, knowing that their leader won’t be blown up

Israel offers Sinwar safe passage out of Gaza in exchange for hostages – report

Israel’s chief negotiator for hostages and missing persons, Gal Hirsch, proposed offering Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar safe passage out of Gaza in exchange for the 101 hostages in the terror group’s captivity, a Tuesday Bloomberg interview revealed.

According to the report, the proposal to allow Sinwar’s escape from Gaza has been on the table for two days, yet it is unclear what Hamas’s response has been and whether they would accept it.

The offer was made with the intent of developing new solutions for a deal as ongoing negotiations “look more and more dim,” Hirsch explained.

“I’m ready to provide safe passage to Sinwar, his family, whoever wants to join him. We want the hostages back. We want demilitarization, de-radicalization of course — a new system that will manage Gaza,” Hirsch stated.

Will Sinwar go for this? He doesn’t care a whit about the civilians in Gaza, and, the base Hamas fighters are disposable cannon fodder. He would get safe, taking people with him. But, does he want that more than he wants to continue forcing Israel to battle in Gaza, knowing how many Israel and Jew haters there are out there in the 1st World? In the United Nations?

Meanwhile

Hmm, operating in a designated civilian protection area. Hamas wouldn’t do that, right?

Unsurprisingly, Kamala’s Climate (scam) Director Is A Wacko

By William Teach September 10, 2024 – 3:15 pm

I know you’re going to be totally shocked by this

Kamala Harris’ new climate director said she is hesitant to have children because of climate change threats

Vice President Kamala Harris’ 2024 campaign hired a new climate director who has frequently said the effects of climate change are part of what’s stopping her from having children.

Camila Thorndike, who previously worked in the Senate managing the climate portfolio of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was given the title of climate engagement director for the Harris for President campaign in September 2024, according to her LinkedIn page.

Prior to joining the Harris campaign, Thorndike said on several occasions that she considers climate change a factor when deciding whether to have kids.

“I was 15 when I first saw the climate ‘hockey stick’ graph. I realized that this skyrocketing arrow of temperature would take place in my lifetime. All of the big milestones of life that I was looking forward to would be in the context of this big global crisis. It led to the question of whether or not to have kids – which is still a big question for me – where I would put down roots, what my family would do,” Thorndike said in 2018 when she was the D.C. campaign director for the Chesapeake Climate Action Network.

The wacko has stated this many, many times since 2018, because cultists gotta cult. But, really, it would be a great thing of no Warmist had children, so, there would be less chance of more kids being indoctrinated into a doomsday cult.

Anyhow, in case you missed it, here’s Cackles’ “plan” for Hotcoldwetdry

As Attorney General, Kamala Harris won tens of millions in settlements against Big Oil and held polluters accountable. As Vice President, she cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, the largest investment in climate action in history. This historic work is lowering household energy costs, creating hundreds of thousands of high-quality clean energy jobs, and building a thriving clean energy economy, all while ensuring America’s energy security and independence with record energy production. As President, she will unite Americans to tackle the climate crisis as she builds on this historic work, advances environmental justice, protects public lands and public health, increases resilience to climate disasters, lowers household energy costs, creates millions of new jobs, and continues to hold polluters accountable to secure clean air and water for all. As the Vice President said at the international climate conference, COP28, she knows that meeting this global challenge will require global cooperation and she is committed to continuing and building upon the United States’ international climate leadership. She and Governor Walz will always fight for the freedom to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and live free from the pollution that fuels the climate crisis.

Like the rest of her “plans”, they aren’t really plans, just random thoughts not ever worthy of a sticky pad. It’s nonsense, like most of what she spews. She just regurgitating things she was involved in. A plan requires a goal, list tasks, assign tasks, have a deadline. And does she really think she can unite Americans?

Biden-Harris Bring Haitians To Springfield, See Them Eat Ducks

By William Teach September 10, 2024 – 10:30 am

They aren’t illegals: Biden-Harris brought them to the U.S.

Springfield, Ohio: Residents Say Haitian Migrants Crashing Cars, Spiking Insurance, Eating Ducks from Parks

The government’s delivery of roughly 20,000 migrants to Springfield, Ohio, has been a boon for real estate, local employers, auto salesmen, merchants, and the migrants — but also an unwanted shock to locals as they try to manage their own community.

The damage was displayed at the August 27 city commission meeting where voters presented their concerns about the migrants.

“Maybe we should open up go-kart land again so that people can have a chance to learn how to drive without being on these public streets,” long-time resident Jeffrey Allen told the mayor and four other commissioners.

“I really challenge you guys to get out here and do something,” Anthony Harris, who describes himself as a local YouTube influencer, told the council. “These Haitians are running into trash cans. They’re running into buildings. They’re… flipping cars in the middle of the street.”

Adding 20,000 3rd Worlders to a town of 58,000 sure has spiced it up, eh? Oh, and an unlicensed Haitian ran into a school bus, forcing off the road, and killing Aiden Clark in 2023. That blood is on the hands of Biden-Harris

The locals say the problems imported by Biden’s deputies go far beyond driving skills.

“They’re in the park grabbing up ducks by their neck and cutting their head off and walking off with them and eating them,” Anthony Harris claimed.

There are lots of reports of this happening in Springfield. Import the 3rd world and get the 3rd world. They won’t assimilate. These Haitians are here under TPS, Temporary Protected Status, meaning they are brought in for a temporary period before returning to their home countries after some sort of disaster. But, they almost never leave. Democrats keep them here. And eventually try to make them voting citizens.

Bummer: Climate Doom Could Cause Big Problems For Pacific Island Tourism

By William Teach September 10, 2024 – 7:15 am

This could have been avoided, but, you like to take fossil fueled flights to Pacific islands for vacations

Climate change leaves future of Pacific Islands tourism ‘highly uncertain’

The Pacific Islands are scattered across a vast area of ocean, with some of the clearest waters in the world, and pristine beaches and rainforests.

They are a magnet for tourism, which is vital for many of the countries’ economies.

But the region’s travel industry, and those who rely on it, are increasingly fearful of the impact of continuing climate change.

“Pacific Island leaders have declared climate change as the foremost threat to the livelihoods, security, and well-being of Pacific communities,” says Christopher Cocker, the chief executive of the Pacific Tourism Organisation.

“Without immediate and innovative action, the future of tourism in the region remains highly uncertain.”

Blah blah blah. It’s a ridiculously long article that shocking, or, being that the BBC is a mouthpiece for the Cult of Climastrology, unshockingly, fails to consider that these islands would revert back to their pre-colonial pasts without fossil fuels. No one is coming on sailing ships. All these island nations have lots and lots of airports for planes and helicopters. They receive most of their goods and tourists via fossil fueled planes, along with fossil fueled cargo ships. They often use fossil fuels for their own fishing boats.

The group champions sustainable tourism and environment protection, and is restoring mangroves and planting trees. But Ms Vakacola tells me that this part of Viti Levu, Fiji’s biggest island, is already living with the consequences of warming temperatures.

Bore water is being contaminated by salinity from the encroaching sea and, more and more, rainwater must be harvested during the wet season.

“Water security is a big risk in terms of climate change,” explains Ms Vakacola.

Considering most of these islands were created from corals, rather than being volcanic in nature, did they ever consider that the seas have been much higher in the past?

Anyhow, what they really want is money. They do not want tourists to stop coming on fossil fueled airplanes.

National People’s Congress Black Caucus Extols Companies Complying With DEI

By William Teach September 10, 2024 – 7:00 am

This kind of governmental interference in private companies goes way beyond socialism

Congressional Black Caucus releases corporate accountability report on DEI

A majority of Fortune 500 companies have maintained their commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) despite growing political and legislative attacks on such practices, according to a new report from the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) released Monday.

The report, “What Good Looks Like: A Corporate Accountability Report on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion,” is the first-of-its-kind report to grade such companies on DEI commitments and racial equity investments since the 2020 murder of George Floyd.

Following Floyd’s killing, a host of U.S. companies pledged to invest in efforts to reduce racial inequities across the nation and to strengthen their DEI efforts.

Would these be some of the same companies which were robbed, looted, set on fire during the mostly peaceful but fiery protests?

The report follows months of the CBC leaders meeting with CEOs and other C-suite executives in Fortune 500 companies. It also includes a ranking report card of each sector.

The financials sector had the highest response rate to the CBC’s report and came in fourth on the report card with 34 out of 93 companies receiving a top score for their efforts.

Communications services had the highest ranking, with 9 out of 19 companies receiving a top score for their efforts.

First, by what constitutional provision are these sitting members of the National People’s Congress, er, U.S. Congress, interfering with the operations of private businesses? Second, it sure seems like these CBC members are saying that blacks are unable to succeed unless they are handed everything on a silver platter. Personally, I have a more positive opinion of blacks and their ability to succeed like everyone else.

This is government intimidation at it’s worst.
