Islamist Rashida Tlaib Accuses Michigan AG Of Having Pro-Jew Biases

By William Teach September 24, 2024 – 10:30 am

Rashida Tlaib continues to show her Jew hatred. How did it come to pass that a Jew hater and supporter of Islamic extremism and terrorist groups was elected to the US House of Representatives? I guess when the US government brings in large groups of refugees from areas of Islamic extremism and makes them citizens they’ll keep voting their own into office

Nessel accuses Tlaib of antisemitism amid controversy over pro-Palestinian protest charges

Michigan’s Jewish attorney general has accused the state’s Palestinian-American congresswoman of antisemitism, in a war of words between two prominent Democrats that could upend an already tense battleground state.

The exchange between Attorney General Dana Nessel and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, formerly friends, stems from Nessel’s decision to file charges this month against 11 pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of Michigan. In a Sept. 12 statement, Nessel emphasized the right to free speech but accused the 11 protesters at the university’s encampment last spring of “violent and criminal behavior,” including obstructing police and trespassing.

In an interview with a local paper the following day, Tlaib likened the campus protests to other demonstrations against racism and for immigrant rights. She told the Detroit Metro Times that Nessel chose to prosecute the 11 because of “possible biases.”

“It seems that the attorney general decided if the issue was Palestine, she was going to treat it differently, and that alone speaks volumes about possible biases within the agency she runs,” she said.

Considering that most of the pro-Hamas demonstrators were either Middle Eastern or upper middle class whites, how is that racism? And, I thought Democrats were all against “hate speech”, and yet all they were doing was saying how much they hate Jews and want Israel destroyed. Oh, and harassing Jews, attacking them, taking over buildings, committing vandalism and acts of destruction.

Nessel’s office confirmed to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that she took that remark as a reference to her Jewish identity. In a social media post on Friday, she condemned a political cartoon that suggested Tlaib was affiliated with Hezbollah — and also called out the congresswoman for antisemitism.

“Rashida’s religion should not be used in a cartoon to imply that she’s a terrorist. It’s Islamophobic and wrong,” Nessel said on X, formerly Twitter. “Just as Rashida should not use my religion to imply I cannot perform my job fairly as Attorney General. It’s antisemitic and wrong.”

Of course, Tlaib is trying to say that it is about Nessel’s “anti-Palestinian” biases, as did Tlaib’s Islamist supporters. But, Tlaib has a long history of being anti-Jew and supporting Islamic extremism, so, we all know that is BS. The two were actually friends, or, at least, friendly, at one point, but, Nessel learned the reality of Tlaib

But as in so many other relationships, the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war last October 7 marked a shift. In November, Nessel took Tlaib to task for defending the phrase “from the river to the sea,” which many Jews see as a call for the destruction of Israel but which Palestinians say is a call for equality.

“Rashida Tlaib, I have supported and defended you countless times, even when you have said the indefensible, because I believed you to be a good person whose heart was in the right place,” Nessel said then. “But this is so hurtful to so many. Please retract this cruel and hateful remark.”

If you did, you will find just about all of these Islamists to be Jew haters and supporters of destroying Israel and replacing it.

Corn Is The Next Thing Doomed From Hotcoldwetdry

By William Teach September 24, 2024 – 7:00 am

Regular corn, which has been around for thousands and thousands of year, which has been modified many times by Mankind, is doomed, so, we need “short corn”

‘Short corn’ could replace the towering cornfields steamrolled by a changing climate

Taking a late-summer country drive in the Midwest means venturing into the corn zone, snaking between 12-foot-tall green, leafy walls that seem to block out nearly everything other than the sun and an occasional water tower.

The skyscraper-like corn is a part of rural America as much as cavernous red barns and placid cows.

But soon, that towering corn might become a miniature of its former self, replaced by stalks only half as tall as the green giants that have dominated fields for so long.

“As you drive across the Midwest, maybe in the next seven, eight, 10 years, you’re going to see a lot of this out there,” said Cameron Sorgenfrey, an eastern Iowa farmer who has been growing newly developed short corn for several years, sometimes prompting puzzled looks from neighboring farmers. “I think this is going to change agriculture in the Midwest.”

The short corn developed by Bayer Crop Science is being tested on about 30,000 acres (12,141 hectares) in the Midwest with the promise of offering farmers a variety that can withstand powerful windstorms that could become more frequent due to climate change. The corn’s smaller stature and sturdier base enable it to withstand winds of up to 50 mph — researchers hover over fields with a helicopter to see how the plants handle the wind.

Sounds more like Bayer and some farmers are pushing this by using the doomsayers to make some cash. This is all theoretical, not something that is actually happening. It’s looking into a crystal ball. Seriously, that area has long had to deal with harsh storms and wind, but, you know, because you drive a fossil fueled vehicle doom is coming.

BTW, who gets fired and their reputation ruined when the windy doom doesn’t happen?

Good News: Venezuelan Gang Has Also Taken Over SCNY Shelters

By William Teach September 24, 2024 – 6:45 am

Too bad the Credentialed Media won’t ask who is responsible for these violent gang members being in the United States

How bloodthirsty Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua used NYC migrant shelters to build a criminal empire: ‘Hiding in plain sight’

In little more than a year, a once-obscure South American street gang has taken hold in the Big Apple, exploiting the migrant crisis to build a violent criminal enterprise from within the walls of city shelters.

Tren de Aragua, a Venezuela-bred crew of thugs, now terrorize Gotham with gun-toting, moped-riding hoods, sell illegal guns under the very noses of private shelter security guards, and run sleazy prostitution rings in neighborhoods suddenly besieged by the marauding migrants.

The gang, which also peddles a lethal fentanyl mix called Tussi or “pink cocaine,” has grown so fast that it has so far overwhelmed both average New Yorkers and the city’s elite police force.

“Not every migrant is here to commit crimes, not every migrant is a gang member,” said NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny. “But these TDA guys hide very well in plain sight in the migrant community.

“We aren’t looking to grab the food delivery guy, but these guys go so far as to wear Uber Eats clothing, [use] the delivery bags while they’re out there committing their crimes,” the chief told The Post. “When we do arrest them, they are very eager to talk about the crime they have committed.

Well, NYC is a sanctuary city, right? Isn’t this what they wanted when they said they would refuse to work with ICE? If they want to point fingers, they can point them at themselves for their illegal immigration beliefs, then for voting for the Biden-Harris regime which imported TDA members as well as allowing them to simply cross the border with no vetting and declare asylum.

Ground zero for TDA’s New York City operation is Randall’s Island, where a massive tent city was erected to help accommodate the wave of migrants from the US border.

Kenny called it “the main hub site.”

“You have the shelter itself and also have kind of like a tent city where people who are not registered to be in the shelter have taken up residence on their own,” the chief said.

We kinda warned you about how bad it was that the majority of “asylum” seekers were young, fighting age men. Now SCNY and other sanctuary cities get to deal with the fallout. But, hey, they voted for it, and will most likely vote for it again in November.

Your Fault: The Next Banking Crisis Could Come From Global Boiling

By William Teach September 23, 2024 – 3:10 pm

It’s always some sort of fearmongering with these cultists. Always looking to make some sort of doom

The next banking crisis could come from climate change

America’s smallest banks face potentially destructive losses from climate-related weather disasters, according to a first-of-its-kind report from a climate change nonprofit. And they’re not even aware of the risk.

Property damage from floods, wind, storm surges, hail, or wildfires threatens a collective $2.4 billion across nearly 200 national banks, averaging 1.5% of these banks’ total portfolio value, according to First Street. Most of this risk is concentrated amid small regional or community banks. In fact, nearly one in three regional banks face significant climate risk. But large institutions aren’t immune, with one in four facing such risks too, the report found.

“Risk exposure varies, but no matter the size of the institution, all banks had some level of climate risk within their lending footprint,” Jeremy Porter, First Street’s head of climate implications, told Fortune. “The most vulnerable were regional, small, and community banks with highly concentrated portfolios in areas prone to flooding, wildfires, or hurricanes. However, even some of the larger banks faced significant enough risk to merit further scrutiny.”

First Street conducted its analysis by looking at extreme weather risks in banks’ physical locations and using it as a proxy for the commercial and residential properties on which banks have issued loans.

Nearly one-third of the nation’s banks are exposed to climate-related risks that could reduce the value of their holdings by 1%, a threshold the Securities and Exchange Commission has defined as material.

You mean the weather could cause problems? Just like always? And First Street is anything but neutral. Their whole job is to pimp the doomsaying.

Bummer: Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Ban All Electronic Devices

By William Teach September 23, 2024 – 10:30 am

This is the fallout from the pager and walkie talkie strikes

Iran’s Guards ban communications devices after strike on Hezbollah, security officials say

Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has ordered all members to stop using any type of communication devices after thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies used by its Hezbollah allies in Lebanon blew up in deadly attacks last week, two senior Iranian security officials told Reuters.

One of the security officials said a large-scale operation is underway by the IRGC to inspect all devices, not just communication equipment. He said most of these devices were either homemade or imported from China and Russia.

Iran was concerned about infiltration by Israeli agents, including Iranians on Israel’s payroll and a thorough investigation of personnel has already begun, targeting mid and high-ranking members of the IRGC, added the official, who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter. (snip)

The security official declined to give details on how the IRGC force, comprising 190,000 personnel, are communicating. “For now, we are using end-to-end encryption in messaging systems,” he said.

According to the same official, there is widespread concern among Iran’s ruling establishment. IRGC officials have reached out to Hezbollah for technical assessments, and several examples of exploded devices have been sent to Tehran for examination by Iranian experts.

Man, that’s a real shame. How will the IRGC troops get their TikTok dance videos? Really, this may end up being something that goes on for a long time, and, if Israel is smart (and they are) they’ll get some pagers, phones, and walkie talkies mixed in that they can blow up in a few months, especially for a big wig. Throw IRGC and other Iranian communications into disarray.

Meanwhile

The UN designated Hamas a terrorist organization, and now wants to protect employees from prosecution for working with Hamas.

Democrats Pushing Hard For Climate (scam) Literacy

By William Teach September 23, 2024 – 7:00 am

Of course, most of the Democrats pushing for this have still failed to give up their own use of fossil fuels

Democrats Want ‘Climate Literacy’ In Schools As Actual Literacy Slips

The Democratic Party is pushing to increase “literacy” on climate change-related material in America’s schools while students are performing poorly with respect to actual literacy.

The party’s education platform mentions the importance of “climate literacy” for American K-12 students several times, emphasizing the purported need for students to be able to understand and interpret information relating to climate change. Meanwhile, the average reading score for both fourth and eighth grade students in 2022 had fallen by three points relative to 2019, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).

“We will equip students with the knowledge and skills to understand complex scientific issues, counter the rising tide of denialism by promoting environmental and climate literacy, and reverse the Trump Administration’s cuts to the National Environmental Education Act,” the platform states.

What they’re really doing is simply indoctrinating the kids, who already have trouble reading.

Less than 50% of all fourth grade students were able to read at or above the standard for proficiency in 2022, with only 17% of black students and 21% of Latino pupils meeting the mark, according to the NAEP.

NAEP data “consistently” demonstrates that about two in every three American students cannot read proficiently, and about 40% of all students are effectively non-readers, according to an analysis published by Scientific American in September 2023.

Sadly, reading is way down. The kiddies just stare at their phones, flipping from video to video about every 30 seconds or less. I do not know many GenZ or Millennials who read books. It’s sad. Believe me, I spend a lot of time on the laptop, phone, and tablet. Cruising the ‘net, playing games. Twitter. But, I also play my guitar (not well), play some golf here and there, and hit the gym (where I will also read my book between sets). And read. A lot. I’m a little behind for getting around 85 books in this year, at 55 and almost done with another, but, I’ve also read a lot of books this year that were over 400-500 pages, where they’re usually around 250-300.

Actually learning to read and going out and doing their own research is bad for the climate cult, because the kiddies might run across something that counters their cult propaganda.

Good News: Chicago To See Local Gangs Vs Venezuelan Gangs Matchup

By William Teach September 23, 2024 – 6:45 am

Grab the popcorn!

Chicago gangs clash with Venezuelan Tren de Aragua members: ‘Blacks against migrants’

Venezuelan migrants moving into Chicago’s South Side have caught the attention of the city’s gangs, with some fearing an impending turf war between local gangs and their Venezuelan counterparts.

“When the black gangs here get fed up with the illegalities and criminal activities of these migrants or no-citizens, the city of Chicago is going to go up in flames and there will be nothing the National Guard or the government can do about it when the bloodshed hits the streets. It’ll be blacks against migrants,” Tyrone Muhammad, a former Chicago gangster who did 20 years in prison and now runs a violence prevention program, said in a report for the New York Post.

The comments come as Chicago has seen an influx of Venezuelan migrants, according to the report, including members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang.

With the arrival has come a rise in crime, locals told the New York Post, while some Venezuelan gangsters have started to encroach on the territory of the city’s local gangs.

So, how are TDA illegals getting to Sanctuary City Chicago? If they were being bussed in by Texas that would be in the news. Are they being shipped by the Biden-Harris administration? Just migrating to SCC on their own? Why are Los Federales not running operations to get them the F out of the US? That’s their job, right? I mean, they should have been working to stop them and turn them away in the first place, but, the Biden-Harris admin made that tough.

“There’s been a lot going on with (the migrant gangs) that nobody’s even hearing about,” Zacc Massie, a local Chicago gang member, told the New York Post. “They be moving in our own territory and robbing people but they don’t get arrested like we do. I actually talked to one on the translator app. He told me all the things he got going on; how they helped him get a car, an apartment, (EBT) card, all this stuff. They giving them thousands, we get maybe $400 a month. And they don’t even have Social Security numbers!”

Sources from local Chicago gangs told the New York Post that members of the Venezuelan gang are often heavily armed and have begun spilling into areas traditionally controlled by local gangs.

So the gang members are being supported by the Biden-Harris admin? That means they were let in, either after claiming asylum and waiting for their court date, or were flown in under a Temporary Protected Status operation. Your tax dollars are paying for this. Let me ask: are the mean online words by Mark Robinson (which are bad if true) worse than Harris bringing Venezuelan gang members to the US and supporting them? Why is she not being asked to step down?
