Even Though There’s No Migrant Crisis, Biden Regime Closes Two Bridges

It’s strange, because we’ve been told that there is no crisis

US closes two rail bridges to Mexico amid migrant surge

U.S. border officials on Sunday closed two rail bridges that move freight between Texas and Mexico after detecting a surge in the smuggling of migrants through Mexico by train.

The move by U.S. Customs and Border Protection was the latest in a series of similar closures along the border in order to redeploy enforcement resources elsewhere in response to large numbers of migrants.

The international railway crossing bridges in Eagle Pass and El Paso were closed “in order to redirect personnel to assist the U.S. Border Patrol with taking migrants into custody,” CBP said in a statement.

“After observing a recent resurgence of smuggling organizations moving migrants through Mexico via freight trains, CBP is taking additional actions to surge personnel and address this concerning development, including in partnership with Mexican authorities,” the statement said.

CBP has imposed similar temporary closures in recent weeks, shutting the Lukeville port of entry in Arizona, a pedestrian entrance in San Diego, and a vehicle crossing in Eagle Pass.

One big problem here is “what did they do with the illegals? Did they put them back across the border, or put them in detainment, which will result in them being released into the U.S. while awaiting their hearing?”

Climate Cultists Hold Nativity Themed Protest In London

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

These supposed Christians really should check out the 1st Commandment

Nativity-themed climate protest in National Gallery

Five Christian women held a Nativity-themed climate change protest inside the National Gallery in London on Friday. The members of Christian Climate Action stood in front of a 15th-century Filippino Lippi painting of the Virgin and Child which depicts Mary seated in a landscape feeding Jesus. They held a poster of the painting altered to show a climate-ravaged landscape and handed out postcards with this image and some facts about the impact of the climate crisis on the world’s children.

The women, all members of Christian Climate Action, began their protest by singing Silent Night with altered words. They then spoke for the world’s children as victims of war and climate injustice and held a silent, prayerful presence. They didn’t touch the actual painting.

Sue Hampton, 67, a Quaker, writer, mother and grandmother, said: “As Christians we celebrate the birth of Jesus, born in poverty as a refugee, to show us the way of love and peace, and justice which is love in action. Christmas is still for the children. But today, world leaders are failing them. Babies born in the Global South still waiting for climate reparations and most at risk of unliveable heat, hunger, drought, flooding and displacement. The altered image we held beside Lippi’s painting shows the terrifying reality children face. Sentiment, tradition and festivity won’t save us. The science is clear that new gas, oil or coal will accelerate climate breakdown. We can’t serve God unless we serve that truth, unless we work for life, justice and peace – with love.”

Funny how they always call for Government to force citizens to live a certain way, but, never call for all their fellow cultists to practice what they preach

Petroleum based clothes, phones, eyeglasses, shoes, the banner itself.

Majority Of American Youts Think Israel Should Be Handed To Hamas

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

You know how the Credentialed Media tells us that “from the river to the sea” doesn’t mean ending Israel and replacing it with a Palestinian Islamist caliphate? Yeah, about that

Majority of Americans 18-24 think Israel should ‘be ended and given to Hamas’

A majority of young Americans said they believe Israel should “be ended and given to Hamas,” according to a shocking poll.

The survey, conducted THIS WEEK by Harvard-Harris polling, found 51% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 said they believed the long-term answer to the Israel-Palestinian conflict was for “Israel to be ended and given to Hamas and the Palestinians.”

Only 32% said they believed in a two-state solution, and just 17% said other Arab states should be asked to absorb Palestinian populations.

The figure was in stark contrast to other age groups, which all dramatically preferred a two-state solution. Just 4% of Americans 65 and over said they felt Israel should be ended.

“These individuals siding with evil over democracy should be a wake-up call,” Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas) told The Post. “Ideological rot among young Americans, driven by woke values and victim culture, has gotten so bad they’ve convinced themselves to sympathize with actual terrorists who hate America,”

And where did they learn this? Primarily the Democratic Party run schools, followed by leftist parents and social media.

A full 60% of the same demographic said Hamas’ Oct 7 terrorist attack could be “justified by the grievance of Palestinians” — a position held by just 27% of Americans overall.

A full 67% of 18-24 year olds said they believed Jews “should be treated as oppressors” — a position which 73% of Americans disagreed with and called a “false ideology.”

And older Democrats wonder just how all those young folks came to be marching in support of Hamas and assaulting Jews on campus. The media wonders why there is so much Jew hatred. They try and tell us that condemnation of Israel doesn’t equate to Jew hatred. The plan of the Muslim Brotherhood to turn the West against Israel and Jews (as well as submitting to the needs of the Islamists) is working just fine.

Trump: Illegals Are “poisoning the blood of our country”

By William Teach December 17, 2023 – 7:00 am

I mean, he’s not entirely wrong, but, this is the kind of incendiary language that turns middle ground voters off and even drives them into the arms of Let’s Go Brandon

Trump reiterates anti-immigrant rhetoric at New Hampshire rally

Former President Donald Trump doubled down on language condemned for its ties to White supremacist rhetoric, saying at a campaign event in New Hampshire on Saturday that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country.”

Obviously, CNN won’t say that Trump was specifically talking about illegal aliens, not legal aliens. Though, some of them are issues, such as all the Islamists up in Minnesota

The comments mark another instance of Trump using increasingly violent rhetoric in his campaign messaging. At his most recent campaign event in New Hampshire prior to his appearance Saturday, Trump used the word “vermin” to describe his political rivals, drawing broad condemnation, including from President Joe Biden, who likened his comments to “language you heard in Nazi Germany.”

What’s violent about calling them “vermin”? These are journalists, people who know words. Nothing violent

Trump told a crowd gathered in Durham, New Hampshire, on Saturday that immigrants “from all over the world” are “pouring into the country,” reiterating a phrase he used previously that sparked outcry from the Anti-Defamation League.

“They’re poisoning the blood of our country. That’s what they’ve done,” Trump said. “They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in South America … but all over the world. They’re coming into our country, from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.”

Again, he’s not wrong. There are people coming illegally from all over the world, crossing the border, people who demand everything from America but give nothing and refuse to assimilate.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, one of the former president’s GOP rivals, said later Saturday that he hadn’t heard Trump’s comments in New Hampshire about immigrants “poisoning the blood of our country,” instead reiterating the “huge risk” that people who cross the border illegally pose to Americans, especially “military-aged males.”

“We have to be smart about what we’re doing in this country,” DeSantis said at a news conference in Corydon, Iowa, when asked whether he believes this type of rhetoric should be used by someone who wants to lead the United States.

That’s a much better way of putting it, but, unfortunately, Ron’s going nowhere. Trump learned nothing from the 2020 loss nor anything since that loss. All it takes is losing a couple states that he should win and Biden is president again. Which would most likely mean losing the House and having no shot at the Senate.

Brandon Regime Takes Action To Force Federal Workers To Take Trains And EVs

By William Teach December 16, 2023 – 4:36 pm

Of course, this only applies to the rank and file workers, not people like Joe, Kamala, his chief of staff, KJP, heads of federal agencies

White House takes action to force government workers to travel via electric vehicle, rail

The White House issued new guidance requiring federal government employees to prioritize using electric vehicles (EV), trains and public transportation options when conducting official business.

The actions, which the White House said fulfilled President Biden’s promise to “lead by example” on tackling climate change, seek to take advantage of the federal government’s annual business travel purchasing power of $2.8 billion and status as the nation’s largest employer. Overall, government employees on official business took more than 2.8 million flights, made 2.3 million vehicle rentals and took 33,000 rail trips last year.

Well, Amtrak is certainly available when Joe goes to Delaware, right? Or take an EV? No need for jumbo jets, fighter protection, helicopters. Well any freaking reporter ask him (no point in asking KJP, she answers zero questions) why he doesn’t travel by rail or EV?

Under the guidance, government employees must rent an EV on official travel when the cost of the EV is less than or equal to the most affordable comparable gas-powered vehicle available. Additionally, employees must opt for EVs when using taxis and ride-share platforms when they are cost-competitive.

Sure seems like federal employees are taking a whole lot of unnecessary travel on the taxpayer dime, eh?

In addition, employees must only use rail on trips that require less than 250 miles of travel instead of driving or flying. For local travel, employees will be required to use public transportation, a rule that includes travel upon arriving at an offsite location.

It’s 123 miles to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Will Joe be taking an EV? Or is practicing what you demand only for the Little People?

Democrats Upset Over Securing Border To Give Ukraine Money

By William Teach December 16, 2023 – 10:30 am

Democrats are super excited about securing the borders in Ukraine and driving out the invaders, but, not so much when it comes to doing the same in the U.S.

Tensions rise among Democrats over looming border deal

Senate Democrats are deeply divided over an emerging border deal that some Democratic lawmakers fear will include harsh asylum policy reforms plucked from the House-passed Secure the Border Act in order to win GOP backing of long-delayed funding for Ukraine.

A growing number of Senate Democrats, including Latino caucus members, are sounding the alarm over leaks that say the administration is prepared to support new authority to expel migrants without asylum screenings and expand their detention and deportation.

They worry they’ll get blindsided next week if Senate negotiators reach a deal on border security and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) rushes it to the floor.

Schumer told colleagues Thursday that he plans to schedule a vote on an emergency foreign aid package that will include border security reforms next week. He said White House and Senate negotiators will work through the weekend to reach a framework agreement.

Democratic senators are concerned that Schumer plans to advance the legislative vehicle for the package before they even know the substance of the deal.

I’m not sure why they’re so concerned: Chuck will keep the details secret and none of the border measures will really amount to anything in practice

“I’m very concerned about the details,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said. “I’ve got no details about where the negotiations are, but obviously I have concerns.”

Booker said “there’s a lot of things I’m concerned about,” noting “we don’t know who’s going to be president” and thus who will be enforcing new asylum and border security laws beyond the 2024 election.

Yeah, but, if Trump wins Democrats will sue to kill off that part of the law, and, really, do you really think it will do much? Come on. Most Democrats have zero interest in securing the border. They do love giving lots of taxpayer money to Ukraine.

Climate Cult Starts To Crack Doing Something About Food Emissions

By William Teach December 16, 2023 – 7:00 am

These are the same people who took long fossil fueled trips to Dubai to eat all sorts of really nice food, including up-scale burgers, seafood, lamb, and so forth (you can read the whole thing here)

The Climate Summit Starts to Crack a Tough Nut: Emissions From Food

climate cowIt’s hard enough for world leaders to figure out the future of coal, oil and gas in a warming world. What about the future of bread and milk?

The food system accounts for around 30 percent of global greenhouse emissions from farm to fork to garbage dump, and it is a major culprit in biodiversity loss. Small farmers in poor countries, already on the edge of subsistence, are among the most vulnerable to climate hazards. And hunger has risen in the last three years, as the coronavirus pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine have upended the global food and energy supply chain. About 735 million people today are hungry, according to the World Health Organization.
=
So how do we feed ourselves without further damaging the planet or worsening rising levels of hunger? This year’s United Nations climate summit has confronted this question like never before.

“For the first time there is a broad acknowledgment that the food agenda is aligned with the climate fight across the board,” said Ed Davey of the World Resources Institute, who worked with organizers of the summit, known as COP28, on its food agenda.

Just come out and say you want the Government to control all food production and distribution, limiting what you are allowed to eat.

That sets up potential (food) fights. Changing the way the world eats is fraught with difficulties, arguably as difficult as changing how the world produces energy. Rising food prices can bring down governments. Farmers can be a powerful political lobby in countries as diverse as the United States and India. Changing food habits can be tricky, and the global agricultural commodity trade is huge and influential.

At this year’s climate summit, though, came small but significant steps.

More than two-thirds of the world’s countries endorsed an agreement to retool the global food system, though it’s vague, lacks concrete targets, and is nonbinding. The United Nations food agency issued a landmark report laying out what it would take to align the global food system with the goal to limit average global temperature rise to manageable levels. The United States and the United Arab Emirates together committed about $17 billion toward agricultural innovations to address climate change.

Just comply, Comrades.
