House Democrat Support Hamas, Will Send Letter To Trump Urging Him To Do The Same

By William Teach September 26, 2025 – 10:30 am

If you’re urging recognition of a “Palestinian state”, you’re recognizing Hamas, supporting them, and rewarding them for killing around 1,200 civilians, raping, torturing, and harming them, along with kidnapping them

House Democrats to send letter to Trump on Friday urging US to recognize Palestinian statehood

Dozens of House Democrats have signed a letter to Donald Trump and secretary of state Marco Rubio, urging the administration to recognize Palestinian statehood.

The letter, led by California Democrat Ro Khanna, has 46 signatures, and lawmakers will send it to the US president on Friday, according to plans first provided to the Guardian.

The letter’s delivery will coincide with the conclusion of the United Nations general assembly. France joined the growing chorus of US allies – including the UK, Canada, Australia and Portugal – and on Monday called for the formal recognition of a Palestinian state.

“Just as the lives of Palestinians must be immediately protected, so too must their rights as a people and nation urgently be acknowledged and upheld,” the letter reads. “We encourage the governments of other countries that have yet to recognize Palestinian statehood, including the United States, to do so as well.”

This is simply a continuation of the Democrats supporting anyone who hates Israel and loathes Jews, who want them killed and Israel erased from the map. Nothing new, but, it is rather bold for a large group of elected Democrats to speak out in this manner, proving what they have been accused of. We already know that the base of the Democrat party are a bunch of Jew haters. Will all the Jews who reliably vote Democrat finally get that Democrats hate them, or, will they continue to be brainwashed Useful Idiots?

Joining Khanna in signing the letter are several House progressives including Congressman Greg Casar of Texas, Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal of Washington state and Congressman Maxwell Frost of Florida. In August, the Guardian reported on the draft of the letter, which, at the time, had a little over a dozen signatures.

Unsurprising that Islamist Jayapal is on there. I’d expect the rest of The Squad to have signed it, including Islamist Ilahan Omar

Khanna is not expecting the letter to force the president’s hand in any way. “I’m not holding my breath as he [Trump] is giving a total blank check to Netanyahu,” the congressman said. But he does hope it will send a “clear” statement.

“America has a new generation that will recognize a Palestinian state when we come to power, that vehemently disagrees with Donald Trump, and that disagrees with how Biden handled the war,” Khanna said.

Expect it to be released in full to all the friendly lefty media outlets the minute it is delivered to Trump and Rubio. It’s nice that Khanna is saying that the new generation hates Israel and Jews. This goes with

Senate Dems, Sanders Call for US Recognition of Palestinian Statehood

As some of the United States’ closest allies join most of the world’s nations in officially recognizing Palestinian statehood amid Israel’s worsening genocide and famine in Gaza, US Sen. Jeff Merkley and seven colleagues on Thursday urged President Donald Trump to follow suit.

The senators introduced a nonbinding resolution calling on the president “to recognize a demilitarized state of Palestine, as consistent with international law and the principles of a two-state solution, alongside a secure state of Israel.”

Republicans should be nailing Democrats on their support for Hamas during the mid-terms.

Fish Wrap: Trump May Be Wiping His Hands Of The Whole Ukraine-Russia War

By William Teach September 26, 2025 – 6:45 am

This is in the “news analysis” section of the NY Times, so, just one step away from the opinion section. Oh, and hey, weird how the Times and few other media outlets bother mentioning Ukraine anymore

With His Pivot on Ukraine, Trump May Be Washing His Hands of the War

Eight months into his second term, President Trump has made a declaration about Ukraine that sounded vaguely like the ones his predecessor, President Joseph R. Biden Jr., used to make. With the right mix of courage, ingenuity and weapons from NATO, he asserted on Tuesday, Ukraine could force Russia to retreat from the territory it has seized in three and a half years of brutal war.

But scratch the surface, and a deeper desire seemed buried in Mr. Trump’s reversal of position during the U.N. meetings in New York this week. Mr. Trump appears to want to wash his hands of the Ukraine conflict, after having no success bringing President Vladimir V. Putin to the negotiating table, and a dwindling chance of acting as mediator between the two warring parties.

Based on what? I’ve pre-read the article twice. Can David E. Sanger read Trump’s mind?

Like many policy declarations by Mr. Trump, it is hard to divine his true beliefs, and impossible to assure he will not change position again. He is nothing if not mercurial. His foreign policy views, former aides say, are more often driven by pique and a sense that he has been disrespected than by strategic analysis.

Hard to define, but, David did.

White House officials did not respond on the record to questions about Mr. Trump’s new strategy. But a senior White House official argued that during the Biden administration, the United States only had one option, to fund Ukraine indefinitely, and there were no negotiations underway with Russia. The official said that Mr. Trump remained willing to impose a round of tariffs against Moscow — not traditional sanctions — but only if Europe ceased buying all energy from Russia.

Maybe Ukraine should stop selling grain to Russia? It looks like Trump gave negotiations with Putin a shot, in the same way you might negotiate with a business rival. It didn’t work out, so, Trump is moving a different way

For his part, President Volodymyr Zelensky did his best to sound enthusiastic about the president’s rhetorical shift, which he called a “game changer.”

Mr. Zelensky had some reason to celebrate: His long-running effort to get back into Mr. Trump’s good graces, after their famous confrontation in the Oval Office in February, had paid off. Mr. Trump was no longer pressuring him to give up land for peace, which could be politically suicidal for the wartime president. Moreover, Mr. Trump, openly annoyed at Mr. Putin, may have been pressuring the Russian leader to make concessions, rather than Mr. Zelensky.

What does it all mean in reality? I doubt Trump is washing his hands, as he would love to go down as the president who brought peace

Top EU diplomat warns Trump that Europe can’t shoulder Ukraine war burden alone

Europe alone is not responsible for helping Ukraine bring an end to its war with Russia, EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas warned Thursday.

That is particularly true when considering President Donald Trump’s pledge to halt the fighting, she said in an interview on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.

“He was the one who promised to stop the killing,” Kallas said. “So it can’t be on us.”

Her comments come as Ukraine and its allies try to divine the meaning of Trump’s sudden about-face on the war between Kyiv and Moscow.

Why not? Why can’t Europe take the lead, considering they are right there and claim they are in danger? How about they all stop buying European energy, to start with?

Your Fault: Hotcoldwetdry To Make Airports Louder

By William Teach September 25, 2025 – 4:12 pm

So, we need to restrict you peasants from taking fossil fueled flights. Not the Elites, of course

Climate change will ‘lead to noisier take offs’

Scientists have discovered that warmer air from climate change will create more noise pollution from departing airplanes around European airports.

Researcher’s from the University of Reading have been studying how rising air temperatures change the way aircrafts take off.

On average, departing aircraft climb angles will decrease by 1-3%, but individual hot days could reduce climb angles by up to 7.5%.

Dr Jonny Williams, lead author at the University of Reading, said: “Over the next three decades, thousands of extra people in London could be blighted by noise pollution caused by climate change.”

So, this is all about climb angles. Commercial jets typically take off at 5-15 degrees of pitch, and rarely exceed 20 degrees when they are higher up. So, what, the angles will be 5.89-14.79 degrees? It’s like saying people can really notice the difference between 70F and 71.7F. Planes will still take off the same, typically you see about 10 degree for a typical airport. High altitude airports tend to have lower up angles.

They focused on the 50-decibel level, which marks a boundary where aircraft noise becomes more noticeable to residents.

The team studied how climb angles of the Airbus A320 commonly used for short European flights affect this threshold as the climate changes.

In central London, around 60,000 people currently live within the 50dB noise footprint of a typical A320 aircraft.

Changes in climate and population density could mean around 2,500 additional people are brought into this boundary.

Whoop de do. Except the takeoff angle won’t really change. Heathrow is supposedly limited to 5 degrees, which is weird, because they try to limit noise, hence their approach angle for some bigger jets is 3.2 instead of the typical 3.0, a slightly higher angle to reduce noise time. Not quite a slam dunk.

Dr Williams explained that the problem gets worse with different types of sound. Low frequency noise which travels further will “increase the most” whilst deeper sounds “annoy human ears and can cause stress and sleep problems”.

“Without action on greenhouse gas emissions, rising temperatures will make managing the problem of airport noise more difficult, even as engine technology advances,” he said.

Maybe do not live near an airport? Remember, these same people have no problem forcing people out in the countryside to deal with the noise and constant blocking of sun as blades revolve.

Let’s start with the action by banning politicians and climate cult scientists from taking fossil fueled flights.

Rip Curl Loses $83 Million After Replacing Woman Spokesman With Gender Confused

By William Teach September 25, 2025 – 10:30 am

This is what Rip Curl did

Let’s see the details

Kathmandu, Rip Curl owner slumps to huge full-year loss

The parent company of Kathmandu and Rip Curl has posted a shock $93.6 million statutory loss ($82.9 million US) – its worst in at least a decade.

KMD Brands said when excluding a $45.5 million non-cash writedown of its Oboz footwear business and other items, it still lost $28.3 million on an underlying basis for the year to July 31.

KMD said it was once again not paying shareholders a dividend, as it hasn’t since 2023, and was taking steps to carefully manage capital.

KMD announced earlier this month it was closing 21 stores, mostly outside Australia, out of its global portfolio of 328 company-owned Kathmandu and Rip Curl shops.

As for its individual businesses, its Rip Curl surf lifestyle brand made $30.6 million in underlying earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amorisation (EBIDTA), down 27% from last year, while its Kathmandu outdoor store chain posted a $1.3 million EBITDA loss after a $16 million profit in 2023/24.

Surfers know who women and men are, and with the ever growing number of women surfing, they can go with O’Neil, Body Glove, Billabong, Quicksilver, and so many other brands for surf apparel, wetsuits, boards, and more. Too bad, because Rip Curl has an awesome line. Their surfing wetsuits fit best, have room in the shoulders. Did Rip Curl think women would be appreciative of replacing Bethany with what is clearly a man in a dress with fake boobs?

With the store closures there are also supposed to be a lot of layoffs.

This is January 2024

Rip Curl’s U-turn on promotion of transgender female surfer is living proof that women are finally fighting back against erasure, and winning

With “R.I.P. RipCurl” trending this week, there are two questions we should be asking.

First, when will big corporates learn that “go woke, go broke” is real?

Second, when will discrimination against women and girls end?

Thanks to the actions of Rip Curl over the past five days, the once iconic Australian surf brand is living proof that women are finally fighting back against companies using transgender women to promote products for women and girls.(snip)

Late last year Rip Curl dropped their popular brand ambassador and living embodiment of resilience and strength, surfer Bethany Hamilton, because she does not believe transgender women should be allowed to compete against women at the sport’s highest level.

And men shouldn’t. There are certain moves that are much harder for women to make due to core and leg strength, not too mention men having stronger shoulders and back muscles, easier to catch waves. So, women just stopped buying Rip Curl. And men stopped buying Rip Curl, because surfers like real women.

It seems, however, that Rip Curl like so many other big corporates (it was purchased by Kathmandu for $350 million in 2019) decided inclusion was more important than biological female role models for women and girls.

And that is one hell of a good point: you have a good, upstanding, responsible female role model for girls wanting to get into surfing, and you replace her with a guy with mental illness (who has been photo’d wearing a hijab, too boot). Which one is a better role model?

NY Times: US Isolation On Display During UN Climate Week Or Something

By William Teach September 25, 2025 – 7:15 am

Weirdly, the Paper Of Record forgot to mention all the long fossil fueled trip, mostly on private jets, world leaders took to NYC

At Global Climate Summit This Week, U.S. Isolation Was on Full Display

At a climate summit at the United Nations on Wednesday, the vast majority of the world’s nations gathered to make their newest pledges to reduce planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade.

Geopolitical heavyweights including China, Russia, Japan and Germany were there. Dozens of small island states were there. The world’s poorest countries, including Chad and the Central African Republic, were there. Venezuela, Syria, Iran — there, too.

The United States was not.

There are few issues on which the United States is more diplomatically isolated from the rest of the world than climate change. President Trump’s hostility to renewable energy, which he clearly broadcast in his speech at the United Nations General Assembly, is at odds with the rapid construction of wind farms, solar arrays and other renewable energy sources in a range of countries. The construction boom includes even oil-producing giants like Saudi Arabia, which is adding solar capacity at a rapid clip.

Do we care? Does Trump care? If the other nations want to mortgage their future on this scam, have at it. If the Elites in other countries want to use this to initiate authoritarianism, real, that’s on them. None of those Elites at the UN nor their staffs are practicing what they preach.

At Wednesday’s climate summit, 121 countries were scheduled to deliver a message very different from Mr. Trump’s, pledging to rein in global emissions not only for the sake of trying to slow catastrophic global warming but because renewables are getting cheaper faster than was previously thought. In some cases, renewables now produce electricity more affordably than plants that burn fossil fuels, bolstering the argument made by some countries that solar and wind can help with economic growth while providing energy security by limiting reliance on imports of fuels like coal, oil or gas.

Can they start by making their leaders take trains and sailing ships back to their home companies?

Trump Offers 21 Point Gaza Peace Plan At UN

By William Teach September 25, 2025 – 7:00 am

The typical political thing to do when you see a problem is to talk about the need to fix it, go on the news stations and talk about fixing it, say you might offer legislation, you have a committee looking at it, and, if you re-elect that person they’ll get it done. Now, love Trump or hate him, when he sees a problem he doesn’t put together committees, he doesn’t yammer about working on fixing it, he just works to fix it.

Trump administration presented Gaza peace plan to Arab leaders

The Trump administration proposed a 21-point peace plan to end the war in Gaza to Arab leaders on Tuesday, which led to an exchange of ideas among the leaders over how to agree on a final proposal that could potentially drive an end the conflict, according to a senior administration official and regional sources familiar with the matter.

On Wednesday US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff expressed confidence that there would be “some sort of breakthrough” in the coming day but did not go into details.

“We had a very productive session,” Witkoff said of the meeting between President Donald Trump and the US delegation and the Arab leaders.

“We presented what we call the Trump 21-point plan for peace in the Mideast, in Gaza,” Witkoff said at the Concordia summit in New York.

“I think it addresses Israeli concerns, as well as the concerns of all the neighbors in the region,” Witkoff added. “And we’re hopeful, and I might say even confident, that in the coming days, we’ll be able to announce some sort of breakthrough.”

The plan that the US proposed included a number of points that the administration has made publicly, including the release of all hostages and a permanent ceasefire, according to a separate source briefed on the matter. It also outlined a framework for how Gaza can be governed without Hamas and included a proposal for Israel gradually withdrawing from the Gaza strip, the source said.

In all the time while Biden was president what did he do? Yammer and give aid to the people supporting the terrorists who started all this. Trump wants it ended. Other world leaders are recognizing Palestine, making things harder.

But, of course, now we wait to see if this plan gets any traction.

Anti-ICE Left Wing Loon Kills Several Illegals In Dallas

By William Teach September 24, 2025 – 3:00 pm

He was trying to kill ICE agents

Who was Joshua Jahn, shooter in deadly Dallas ICE facility attack?

Sources familiar with the investigation into the Dallas immigration facility shooting identified Wednesday’s alleged attacker as Joshua Jahn, 29.

The gunman killed two detainees and injured another after opening fire on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility from a nearby building before taking his own life, police say. The detainee who survived was hospitalized in critical condition.

Jahn fired “indiscriminately” at the ICE building, as well as at a van in the sally port where the victims were shot, the Department of Homeland Security said. The three detainees were in an unmarked transport van when they were shot, before Jahn took his own life around 7 a.m., according to the sources. He was found dead with a rifle on a nearby rooftop, authorities said.

A photo posted on X by FBI Director Kash Patel showed what appeared to be rifle-caliber ammunition affixed to a clip. The rounds were engraved with an “anti-ICE” message.

Vice President JD Vance called for an end to “obsessive attacks” on law enforcement, particularly ICE.

“These horrendous killings must serve as a wake-up call to the far left that their rhetoric about ICE has consequences,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on X, while chiding elected officials who demonize immigration authorities.

There are already leftards saying this was a false flag. And others calling for gun control, even though the rifle would not have been an assault rifle, not with an actual clip of rounds.

Kimmel Returns, Hosts Climahypocrite Gavin Newsom

By William Teach September 24, 2025 – 10:30 am

If Disney were smart, they’d tell Kimmel to return to the original idea of the show being a mindless late night entertainment show: actors and actresses talking about their new movies and TV shows, comedians, musicians, people with animals. No politicians. But, no, he’s still doing politicians. Maybe Disney is just trying to ride it out till Kimmel’s contract expires in May 2026, at which point they will cancel the show?

Gavin Newsom gets the full Colbert treatment

Comedian Stephen Colbert joked Tuesday night that Gavin Newsom has drawn a lot of attention lately for doing something novel for a Democrat: “being interesting” — and he was only too happy to take the praise.

It went like that for the duration of the governor’s appearance on “The Late Show” — where he enjoyed a friendly interview that let him hit on his favorite topics as his popularity surges. (snip)

He has distinguished himself from other Democrats in recent months — and infuriated Republicans — by embracing a combative and often mocking approach to the Trump administration, which his team has begun skewering with social media parodies.

“This guy is flooding the zone, dominating the narratives. Facts don’t seem to matter, and Democrats, frankly, have had a difficult time pushing back,” Newsom told Colbert after the host asked why he thought his message was breaking through.

No on is infuriated: everyone is laughing at Newsom’s coms team trying to mimic Trump. Get your own schtick

Newsom added, “Democrats feel … that there’s sort of this weakness that dominates our brand and our party. I think what people appreciate is that we are willing to fight. And not only fight symbolically, by having a little bit of fun, but fight substantively. We have 41 lawsuits against the son of a bitch.”

Yes, suing to keep illegal alien criminals in the country

Newsom used the national platform to warn about what he called “authoritarian actions by an authoritarian government” and to reiterate his prediction that Trump does not want another election (besides “a Putin-type election”) while touting Democrats’ support for international climate agreements, vaccine access and opposition to mass deportations. (snip)

Newsom, who’s in New York for Climate Week, argued that he’s succeeded in getting under the GOP’s skin lately because Trump and other conservative figures, such as Fox News’ Sean Hannity, can’t handle when he “put a mirror up” to the president’s behavior.

Obviously, Kimmel did not ask if Gavin took Amtrak to NYC, because we all know he took a fossil fueled private jet. As far as authoritarian, if Trump was one Newsom would be disappeared after saying it. After his coms team got nasty. After all the things Gavin has said.

And then people wonder why no one watches Kimmel (and other late night shows): it’s too heavily political.
