Trump EO To Crack Down On Pro-Hamas “Protesters”

By William Teach January 22, 2025 – 6:45 am

Hopefully it will include rescinding any visas and legal status of those who were involved in calling for the destruction of Israel, killing Jews, a global intifada, “from the rivers to the seas”, and taking the side of designated Islamic terrorist groups

Trump Executive Order Signals Crackdown On Pro-Terrorist College Students

President Donald Trump’s executive order on foreigners who “support designated foreign terrorists” could be the start of a previously promised crackdown on radical pro-Palestinian students on American college campuses.

The Monday directive from Trump orders the U.S. government to deport foreigners who “bear hostile attitudes toward [American] citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles, and do not advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security.” That could describe plenty of foreign students advocating for Hamas and other terrorist groups at American universities, an analyst told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Yes!

Obviously, the pro-Hamas folks will claim that this violates Free Speech, but, these people are visitors in the U.S. and when they are calling for the murder of Jews, well, they forgo those rights, just like people cannot threaten to murder people regularly.

“If you apply for a visa to come into the United States and in the process of being looked at, it comes to light you’re a supporter of Hamas, we wouldn’t let you in,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio told senators during his confirmation hearing on Wednesday when asked about campus protests. “Now that you got the visa and [are] inside the U.S. and we realize you’re a supporter, we should remove your visa.”

Finally some sanity. I’m not sure how we went from 9/11 and what happened in the years after to letting in any old Islamic jihadi. Time for this to end.

Davos Climahypocrites Vow To Stay The Course ‘Cause Trump

By William Teach January 21, 2025 – 3:47 pm

These would be the same rich folks and politicians who took fossil fueled flights, especially private jets, to Davos and then cruised around in low MPG limos and SUVs, which the NY Times fails to note

Leaders at Davos Economic Forum Vow to ‘Stay the Course’ on Climate Action

When President Trump signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate agreement on Monday as part of his flurry of moves upon taking office, it represented a shot across the bow of the world leaders and chief executives gathered in Davos, Switzerland.

Many of the political and business figures attending the World Economic Forum’s annual conference support efforts to combat climate change, including the Paris Agreement, which almost all nations agreed to in 2015. Pulling the United States out of the pact is a signal of both the administration’s lack of concern about rising planet-warming emissions, and also a rebuke of the kind of multilateralism that has come to define Davos.

The U.S. never agreed, as it was never placed in front of the US Senate, per our Constitution. And, I do not remember Obama reducing his own use of fossil fuels. Nor Biden.

The World Economic Forum’s annual gathering has a long-running focus on climate and the environment. “Safeguarding the planet” is one of the conference’s five themes this year, and surveys by the organization rank extreme weather as one of the world’s top threats.

For years, the policymakers and companies in Davos have promoted their efforts to reduce emissions, embrace clean energy and work collaboratively to blunt global warming.

Yet, these same people have some of the highest carbon footprints on the planet. Also, how much money and power are they getting by pushing the scam?

Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, said on Tuesday that President Trump’s actions would not lead Europe to change its plans. “Europe will stay the course and keep working with all nations that want to protect nature and stop global warming,” she said. “The Paris Agreement continues to be the best hope for all humanity.”

Simon Stiell, the United Nations climate chief, said the shift to clean power would happen with or without the United States.

“The world is undergoing an energy transition that is unstoppable,” he said, adding that the U.S. could rejoin the Paris pact at any time.

Well, these same people will not be freezing in the dark when winter hits, unlike the peasants in Europe, who have turned to wood burning stoves over the past 10 years due to the restriction in Europe.

Kara Hurst, Amazon’s chief sustainability officer, said her company was not walking back its climate targets because of the president’s decision. “We’re dedicated to our goals,” she said. “We’re staying the course. We’re not veering from that. I think most of the corporates have long-term goals that they’ll keep.”

You’re welcome to do that. It’s your choice. Government’s, particularly the US government, shouldn’t be forcing citizens to comply. You do you, you don’t get to do me.

These people seriously need to do some breathing exercises. So stress relief. Because it is only day two of 4 years.

Laken Riley Act Passes Senate, Heads To Trump’s Desk Soon

By William Teach January 21, 2025 – 10:30 am

This is excellent news

Laken Riley Act passes Senate on bipartisan vote

The Senate passed the Laken Riley Act on Monday, with 12 Democrats joining all Republicans to vote for the amended immigration bill.

The measure, which would mandate the detention of more undocumented immigrants charged with crimes, now goes to the House, which passed a similar but not identical bill earlier this month. The final Senate tally was 64-35.

The House is expected to take up the measure later this week, likely Wednesday or Thursday. It would then land on President Donald Trump’s desk, delivering him an early if modest bipartisan win on his signature campaign issue of illegal immigration.

The Democratic senators who backed it were Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), John Fetterman (Pa.), Ruben Gallego (Ariz.), Maggie Hassan (N.H.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.), Jon Ossoff (Ga.), Gary Peters (Mich.), Jacky Rosen (Nev.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), Elissa Slotkin (Mich.), Mark Warner (Va.) and Raphael Warnock (Ga.).

There’s zero chance it doesn’t re-pass the House, so, Trump should be signing it by Saturday at the latest.

Yeah, the rest of them are not taking this well

(The Hill) The Laken Riley Act is roiling the Senate Democratic Conference, as senators believe their party bungled immigration and border security in 2024 but aren’t happy about the swift passage of a bill they view as terrible policy. Democratic critics of the bill believe the rush to pass it is a political overreaction from Democratic colleagues scrambling to protect themselves on those issues.

Some Democratic senators are venting frustration about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) giving a green light to politically vulnerable colleagues to vote to advance the bill without getting an ironclad guarantee that Democrats would have more opportunity to amend the legislation.

So most voted because they are vulnerable, not because it’s a good idea to protect American citizens from illegal alien criminals. Though, from what Fetterman has said, he might have truly wanted to vote for the bill.

Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), who blasted the bill as bad policy, said the lack of opportunity to modify the legislation on the floor — aside from three amendments — represents a broader failure of the entire Senate to meaningfully debate immigration policy.

“I think that this bill reflects the way the Senate has broken down in some respects in the fact that we’re not able to have votes on amendments that would have improved the legislation. It’s really problematic,” he said.

It’s bad policy to protect Americans from all the illegals and fake asylum seekers? Only in Liberal World.

Sen. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) said he was concerned with how the bill was handled.

“We should use the committee process where there’s an opportunity to deliberate and discuss,” he said.

They had the opportunity, but, what’s to discuss? It’s a simple bill, and, they had the chance to debate in committee last year when it was passed in the House and sent to the Democrat run Senate. They chose not to. And they will do anything to protect illegal alien criminals.

Climate Cult Says Trump Has Gone Authoritarian With Executive Orders

By William Teach January 21, 2025 – 7:15 am

Hilariously, these same climate wackos had zero problem with Biden (and Obama) ruling with his pen. Well, not really his, but, the people who ran his presidency. Biden signing EO after EO, and getting his agencies to pass this and that rule. Like forcing automakers to make EVs, forcing citizens into them

Trump Invokes Authoritarian Powers on Day One to Gut Environmental Protections

President Trump ordered federal agencies today to begin unlawfully gutting protections for the climate, clean air and water, and public lands. Following through on his threat to act like a dictator “on day one,” Trump also ordered a massive expansion of oil, gas and coal extraction from public lands and waters — actions that could lead to irreversible climate catastrophe if they go unchallenged.

“No one in American history has shown more disdain for the environment than Donald Trump. His reckless contempt for our nation’s natural heritage and people’s health will only get worse, but we’ll fight him at every step,” said Kierán Suckling, executive director at the Center for Biological Diversity. “No matter how extreme he becomes, we’ll confront Trump with optimism and a fierce defense of our beloved wildlife and the planet’s health. His anti-environment agenda is overwhelmingly unpopular and truly a threat to life on earth.”

Trump’s day-one executive orders include:

  • A sweeping “national emergency” on energy prices designed to expand onshore and offshore oil drilling and fossil fuel extraction, increase drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and greenlight immediate fracked gas exports.
  • Withdrawing from the Paris agreement on climate change.
  • Rescinding California’s ability to restrict emissions from cars, light trucks and other polluting fossil-fuel motors, as well as rescinding EPA auto emissions and Department of Transportation fuel economy standards that address the largest sector of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States.

“The United States has some of the strongest environmental laws in the world, and no matter how petulantly Trump behaves, these laws don’t bend before the whims of a wannabe dictator,” said Suckling. “The use of emergency powers doesn’t allow a president to bypass our environmental safeguards just to enrich himself and his cronies. We’ll see Trump in court to challenge each of these horrific, senseless attacks on wildlife, public lands and our health.”

Cry more, cultists. Cry more. Just because your guy did stuff doesn’t mean the next guy is an authoritarian. Biden cancelled tons of Trump’s EO and rules, did that make him an authoritarian? Well, he (well, his people) was an authoritarian lite, but, not for necessarily cancelling EOs. But, you know, in Warmist World reducing the power of the government over American’s lives is authoritarian.

Trump Pardons 1,500 J6ers

By William Teach January 21, 2025 – 7:00 am

Trump did so many executive orders it’s hard to know where to start. Well, what about this?

Trump grants mass pardons to 1,500 January 6 US Capitol rioters

President Donald Trump on Monday pardoned more than 1,500 people charged in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, and said he would commute the sentences of six others.

The Justice Department also is expected to move in court to dismiss cases that have not yet gone to trial, several sources told CNN.

More than 730 people have been convicted of misdemeanor offenses in connection with January 6, according to the latest Justice Department estimates. Further, there are about 300 prosecutions still pending in court as of Monday, including many accused of violent felony crimes, such as assaulting police.

Trump has long pledged to pardon at least some of his supporters who stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, disrupting the peaceful transfer of power.

The vast majority really did nothing wrong. They weren’t violent, they wandered through the halls of Congress, and had the doors opened for them by Capitol Police.

About 55% of January 6 prosecutions are misdemeanor cases, with charges like disorderly conduct or trespassing, according to Justice Department data. For those convicted, the vast majority were sentenced to probation or a few months in prison and were already released.

And had their lives destroyed for a minor issue. Hounded, harassed by the feds, locked up pre-trial with no bail. Unlike the way they went after those who firebombed a federal justice center, which was, not much.

Some defendants are elderly people who got caught up in the frenzy. Others went inside the Capitol for a handful of minutes but never attacked anyone or vandalized anything. Most have no criminal record. A large chunk of the people in the mob said they never intended to infiltrate the Capitol, let alone disrupt Congress’ certification of the 2020 election results. Some believe they were waved into the building by police.

Regardless of this, CNN is losing their minds, as are the other Credentialed Media, in a way they failed to after Biden pardoned/commuted 2,500 drug and other offenders, oh, and, hey, how about Leonard Peltier, who murdered two FBI agents.

Bummer: Trump To Pull US Out Of Paris Climate (scam) Agreement

By William Teach January 20, 2025 – 3:00 pm

But, how will he do it?

Trump to withdraw from Paris climate agreement, White House says

st greta carPresident Donald Trump will once again withdraw the United States from the Paris climate deal, the White House said on Monday, removing the world’s biggest historic emitter from global efforts to fight climate change for the second time in a decade.

The decision would place the United States alongside Iran, Libya and Yemen as the only countries in the world outside the 2015 pact, in which governments agreed to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

The announcement, in a document from the White House, reflects Trump’s skepticism about global warming, which he has called a hoax, and fits in with his broader agenda to unfetter U.S. oil and gas drillers from regulation so they can maximize output.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is confident that U.S. cities, states and businesses “will continue to demonstrate vision and leadership by working for the low-carbon, resilient economic growth that will create quality jobs,” said associate U.N. spokesperson Florencia Soto Nino, in a written statement.

They’re welcome to do such. We The People did not agree as a total country without a US Senate vote

Trump also withdrew the U.S. from the Paris deal during his first term in office, though the process took years and was immediately reversed by the Biden presidency in 2021. The withdrawal this time around is likely to take less time – as little as a year – because Trump will not be bound by the deal’s initial three-year commitment.

I’ll be honest, if this is true, it is disappointing. Trump has no need to follow the rules for pulling out, since Obama’s signature has no force of any sort of law past his own administration. It is entirely voluntary. Just say “we’re done.”

Meanwhile

(Bloomberg)  President Donald Trump said he will “declare a national energy emergency,” as he orders steps intended to unleash domestic energy production and undo Biden-era policies designed to fight climate change.

The US boasts “the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on earth — and we are going to use it,” Trump said in his inaugural address Monday. “We will be a rich nation again, and it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help us to do it.”

The declaration is among a host of changes Trump plans to order Monday to reorient US policy away from the fight against global warming — and toward fossil fuel production. That includes an assault on Biden-era regulations that compelled greater sales of electric vehicles Trump has dubbed an “EV mandate.” In his speech, Trump vowed that his actions Monday will end the “green new deal” and the electric-vehicle mandate.

I mean, how else will all those EVs be powered without fossil fuels?

Bummer: Colleges Offer Advice On Anxiety To Snowflakes For Trump Inauguration

By William Teach January 20, 2025 – 10:30 am

These are the same people who are supposedly adults and “future leaders”, who cannot handle Trump being president again. Seriously, these people never had the mental acuity to sign the student loans they will demand be wiped out

Colleges, educational groups offer advice for Inauguration Day ‘anxiety,’ trips to DC for Trump swearing-in

Educational institutions and college-affiliated groups are preparing for President-elect Trump’s inauguration by offering mental health advice, delivering travel notices to international students, and organizing anti-Israel rallies.

Most schools will be closed on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20, due to it falling on a federal holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Similar to Trump’s first inauguration and the weeks following his victory in the 2024 election, universities and education groups are offering different outlets for students on Monday.

Several anti-Israel college groups in Chicago are planning demonstrations. The University of Illinois Chicago’s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJPUIC) and Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) chapters intend to hold an anti-Israel protest, according to social media posts.

The groups will reportedly meet to “fight back against Trump’s racist and reactionary program,” wrote SJPUIC in a post on Instagram.

They do realize Trump has not been president over the past four years, and everything going on in the Middle East, in particular Gaza, happened while Joe Biden was president? And that during Trump’s 1st term things were relatively quiet in the ME? And that Hamas and their subjects in Gaza asked for annihilation by attacking Israel on October 7th? Those who are not citizens might want to consider if their protests are wise, because non-citizens can be repatriated for calling to destroy Israel and kill Jews.

Other schools are offering mental health advice ahead of the Republican’s swearing-in.

Emory University’s Rollin School of Public Health conducted an interview with clinical psychologist Rachel Waford, published in December, about how to deal with “anxiety” during presidential transitions.

“Americans are experiencing a mix of emotions as Trump prepares to start his second term as President of the United States. For some, a second Trump administration is stirring up fear and anxiety,” the article reads.

Waford suggested those who have anxiety should stay off social media or unsubscribe from news outlets. “I would encourage anybody who is in that state right now to think about the ways that you can plug into your life tangibly. Plug into your community, social supports, and the things that bring a sense of security, safety, and control,” the psychologist said.

Good grief. Get over yourselves. Bunch of special snowflakes and barking moonbats.

The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has also directed teachers to evade Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if they show up to schools.

“We will not allow any law enforcement entity to take any type of immigration action against our students or their families within our care,” LAUSD Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said during a press conference in January.

Did they also explain who to call when the teachers are arrested for interfering with federal agents? The advice is simply unhinged, as ICE will not be coming into grade schools, unless an adult is an illegal. Seriously, this is just the start of the 4 year apoplexy from Democrats. Let’s see if they all come to DC today and get crazy like last time.

Bummer: Fed Reserves Pulls Out Of Climate (scam) Group

By William Teach January 20, 2025 – 7:00 am

Trump effect in full view

Federal Reserve withdraws from global regulatory climate change group

The U.S. Federal Reserve announced on Friday it had withdrawn from a global body of central banks and regulators devoted to exploring ways to police climate risk in the financial system.

In a statement, the Fed said it was exiting the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) because its increasingly broadened scope had fallen outside the Fed’s statutory mandate.

The central bank joined the group in 2020. The exit comes three days before President-elect Donald Trump, who is critical of efforts by governments to prescribe climate change policies, is set to take office.

The NGFS, formed in 2017, is charged with helping central banks and bank supervisors with integrating risks stemming from climate change into their work steering monetary policy and policing the financial system. A spokesperson for the group did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Well, that’s a real shame. The Fed won’t be basing policy off a scam, and, instead looking at proper financial metrics.
