Good News? Appeals Court Rules DACA Unconstitutional

By William Teach October 6, 2022 – 7:00 am

And they sent it back to a lower court. But, there’s an issue

Federal appeals court rules Obama-era DACA program illegal, buts says 600,000 already in US can stay

A federal appeals court determined that the Obama administration didn’t have the authority to institute the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program but declined to dismantle it, allowing more than 600,000 immigrants to continue to enjoy its protections.

The 5th U.S. Circuit ordered a review of new changes by the Biden administration to DACA, telling a Texas federal judge to review the program.

A three judge panel from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also ruled that while the Obama administration lacked the authority to create the immigration policy which affects over 600,000 people, it didn’t dismantle the program, and people can continue benefiting from the policy.

The panel ruled that the U.S. government cannot process new applicants for individuals seeking DACA benefits.

Um, OK? This is insane. And does show that the whole system is broken. They’re here illegally. The people who brought them are here illegally and benefiting from the kids being here illegally. Obama’s DACA was illegal and unconstitutional, as everyone said from the get go, including Obama. Yet, they’re allowing the illegals to stay, and sending it back to a lower court. This is very, very silly.

The Biden administration presented changes to DACA in August which were open to public comments, but don’t contain substantial modifications to the Obama-era policy and are pointed at legal challenges in relation to the program.

The rule would begin on Oct. 31.

This shouldn’t matter. The whole thing is illegal and unconstitutional.

Vatican Says The Debate Is Over On “Denying” Climate Crisis (scam)

By William Teach October 5, 2022 – 3:00 pm

Because, see, every weather event is proof that this is your fault. I think the Vatican should demand that no one take fossil fueled trips to come to Rome or the Vatican

Extreme hurricanes show time of climate change denial is over, Vatican says

Recent extreme weather events, such as the hurricane that devastated parts of Florida, show that the time for climate change denial and scepticism is over, a senior Vatican official said on Tuesday.

Cardinal Michael Czerny, a Canadian who heads the Vatican’s development office, made his comments at a news conference presenting “The Letter,” a new film on the climate crisis by two-time Emmy award winner Nicolas Brown.

The film takes its title from Pope Francis’s 2015 encyclical letter Laudato Si (Praised Be) on the defence of the environment. It premiered at the Vatican on Tuesday and will be available free on YouTube Originals. Tuesday is the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, patron of the environment.

“The time is over for speculation, for skepticism and denial, for irresponsible populism,” Czerny said.

“Apocalyptic floods, mega droughts, disastrous heatwaves, and catastrophic cyclones and hurricanes have become the new normal in recent years; they continue today; tomorrow, they will get worse,” he said.

Nice to see that the Vatican has bought into being a part of the climate cult hook, line, and sinker, sublimating the teachings of the Bible and Jesus, bowing to the cult.

Francis, 85, strongly supports the goals of the 2015 U.N. Paris accord to reduce global warming and the use of fossil fuels. Former President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the accord but his successor, Joe Biden, has rejoined it.

Who wants to bet that Francis and the Vatican have not given up their own use of fossil fuels.

NY Mayor Says Bused Migrants Needs Federal Solution Or Something

By William Teach October 5, 2022 – 10:30 am

Unhinged NY governor Kathy Hochul is rather upset over all the migrants/illegals being shipped to her state, mostly NYC, and wants a federal solution. No, not that federal solution, the other one

NYC’s Migrant Crisis Needs ‘Federal Solution,’ Hochul Says

New York Governor Kathy Hochul called on the Biden administration to present a “federal solution” to the influx of thousands of migrants that are being bused from border states, saying the state can only do so much.

“I’ve raised this with the White House,” she said during an interview Tuesday with Bloomberg Television’s David Westin. “Let’s look at federal facilities, federal staff to help supplement the city.”

Hochul said she has been working “almost hourly” with New York City since the migrants began arriving to make sure the issue doesn’t “get out of control.”

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Monday night said the city had to abruptly halt the building of an emergency tent in the Bronx aimed to house recently arrived migrants before it even opened. Citing the risk of flooding, Adams said the city would open a tent on Randall’s Island after a weekend of storms that led advocates to raise fresh concerns about the original location.

In other words, she wants them all shipped to federal facilities, rather than the city, a self described sanctuary city, housing and feeding them, having to spend their own city funds on them, having to see them around the city. Funny how so many of those far from the border who support open borders do not want to have to deal with the migrants/illegals themselves, eh?

Meanwhile, in D.C.

Washington, DC, Democrats Approve Plan Allowing Illegal Aliens to Vote

Democrats on the Washington, DC, City Council have approved a plan that would allow foreign nationals, including illegal aliens, to vote in local elections.

On Tuesday, the D.C. City Council voted 12-1 to advance a bill that will allow foreign nationals, regardless of if they have visas or are illegally in the United States, to vote in local elections such as school board races and mayoral elections.

“Our immigrant neighbors of all statuses participate, contribute and care about our community in our city,” D.C. Councilmember Charles Allen (D) said, according to the Hill. “They, like all DC residents, deserve a right to have a say in their government.”

It’s not like the city needs them, since it already votes heavily Democrat. Will the plan be struck down in court, much like when NYC attempted this? The Constitution does not allow non-citizens to vote, and D.C. operates under the federal constitution

Climate Cult’s Looking To Indoctrinate Pre-Schoolers

By William Teach October 5, 2022 – 7:00 am

The climate cult is starting the indoctrination early, and, if they get your kids in forced universal pre-k, parents won’t even know it’s happening

Meet the Band of TV Animals That’s Talking to Preschoolers About Climate

Four-year-old Francis Gaskin, who lives with his family in Houston, has a favorite episode of his favorite new Netflix cartoon: When the Amazon rainforest canopy dries up from too much heat, the manic howler monkeys must move into the lower realms of the forest, creating havoc among the other rainforest residents. “They had to find a new home,” Francis explained during a video interview.

“I noticed something else,” the preschooler added. “The frogs were going to lay their eggs in the water, but there was no water in the stream because there was zero rain.”

“Sometimes the Earth warms up,” he said.

Francis’ favorite show is “Octonauts: Above and Beyond,” the recent spinoff of a long-running BBC program, and one of the first television shows directed at very young children to explicitly address climate change. The program attempts to strike a delicate balance: gently showing 3- and 4-year-olds that their world is already changing, without frightening them with the consequences.

Climate scientists say its depictions are largely accurate, with one striking omission. The program says nothing about why the Earth is heating up: the burning of oil, gas and coal.

If that’s the case, then why are Warmists using so much of it themselves?

“Nobody really knows yet at what age kids can understand climate change,” said Gary Evans, an environmental and developmental psychologist at Cornell University who is conducting a study of children in kindergarten through third grade to find out what they know about climate change and how it makes them feel. “Anyone who tells you that they know the best way to talk to young kids about climate change is doing so without the guidance of data.”

Why worry about that, since the whole thing is missing data?

Climate scientists say that needs to change. Children born within the last decade, sometimes known as “Generation Alpha,” will be the first to live their entire lives on a planet that has been irrevocably altered by human-caused global warming.

They want control of your children. Not concerning or Fascist at all, right?

The program also shows preschoolers how climate change could affect their own lives. In one episode, the Octonauts experience a shortage of their essential beverage, hot cocoa, because heat is making the cocoa plants wither. The team sings, “Changing climate makes the temperature high, and in the heat the trees are thirsty and dry.”

So, they’ll be soft-peddling climate doom, and it make them emotional messes at a younger age. This is child abuse. Climate cultists do not care.

Bummer: 56% Of Silicon Valley Residents Plan To Move Away

By William Teach October 5, 2022 – 6:45 am

What could possibly caused these liberals residing in the People’s Republik Of California to want to move?

‘The mood is dark’ — More than half of Silicon Valley residents still want to move away, poll finds

There is growing pessimism in Silicon Valley and the Bay Area as residents continue to deal with the high cost of housing, the high cost of living, homelessness, drought and more.

According to a new poll by Joint Venture Silicon Valley, 64% of those surveyed said the region is on the wrong track, a more than 10-point increase from last year. In addition, 56% said they plan to leave the area in the next few years, a number that remains unchanged from last year. And 36% said the quality of life in the Bay Area has gotten much worse in the last five years.

“The mood is dark,” said Russell Hancock, chief executive of Joint Venture and president of the Silicon Valley Institute for Regional Studies, during a briefing Tuesday about this year’s Silicon Valley Poll. Of course, he said, there were differences among those who felt gloomy about the region.

Those who think the region is on the wrong track were more likely to be Republican, Independent, and/or people who said their personal finances were in poor shape. More renters (62%) and people staying with family and friends (67%) said they were considering leaving the Bay Area than those who own homes (47%). The sentiment that things have gotten much worse in the Bay Area was held by 62% of Republicans surveyed, 46% of Independents and 23% of Democrats.

Well, come on, there can’t be that many Republicans and Independents there. In 2020, every single county in the area voted heavily for Biden, most over 71%. So, it is mostly Democrats, who are sick of all the problems resulting from….their own beliefs turned into votes. What did they think they were going to get?

While most survey respondents agreed on housing issues as the most pressing problems, there was no clear agreement on possible solutions, especially if it involves building more housing near them — a “not in my backyard” attitude that advocates and local and state legislators are attempting to solve.

For example, the poll found that 57% of Bay Area residents support building more subsidized low-income housing, but that number dropped to 43% when they were told that housing would be built within a half-mile of their homes. For building housing for homeless people, those numbers were 51% and 34%.

The hell you say!

Meanwhile, nearly 8 out of 10 residents surveyed said they considered racism to be a serious or somewhat serious problem, with 39% of Black or African-American respondents considering it to be an extremely serious problem, along with 30% of Hispanics or Latinos, 29% of Asians and Pacific Islanders and 18% of Whites and Caucasians.

So Leftists in the PRC are saying they’re racists? Huh

Anyhow, they need to stay there are suck it up, tolerate the conditions they voted and agitated for.

Good News: UN Working With Google To Silence Skeptics

By William Teach October 4, 2022 – 3:00 pm

If the science was so rock solid, the climate cult wouldn’t need to silence the opposition. It would stand on it’s own

United Nations Partners with Google to Silence Climate Skeptics

Green Climate Thought PoliceA United Nations representative revealed her globalist organization had partnered with Google to prioritize messages underscoring the gravity of the climate crisis.

Melissa Fleming, the U.N.’s Under-Secretary for Global Communications, said at a Sept. 29 World Economic Forum (WEF) event the U.N. is working with Google to “elevate the content.”

“You know, we partnered with Google, for example, if you Google climate change, you will, at the top of your search, get all kinds of U.N. resources,” Ms. Fleming declared. “We started this partnership when we were shocked to see that when we Googled climate change, we were getting incredibly distorted information right at the top.”

“So we’re becoming much more proactive,” she continued. “You know, we own the science and we think that the world should know it and the platforms themselves also do.” (snip)

Fixing the situation required reversing “an algorithmic shift that was deliberately taken to favor individuals over institutions,” which had placed at a disadvantage “the institutions who are there to serve the public for good.”

Social media users are looking for a more curated environment where they can avoid being exposed to the wrong messages, she asserted.

“I think there’s certain people who’ve totally got lost down rabbit holes and they’re going to hopefully find their way out at some point. But I do think there are all kinds of people in the middle,” she said.

In other words they’re making sure people do not see Wrongthink. I’ve known for quite some time that the algorithms for my own site are limited by Google. And Yahoo. Simply searching “hotcoldwetdry” only gives you a few hits, at best, with my web address, despite there being quite a few posts with hotcoldwetdry in the headline. I’ve seen the same for many other Skeptic sites, like Watts Up With That?, Real Climate Science, and more. They’re afraid that people might read the wrong stuff, and it is in the DNA of leftists to stop people from seeing it. Debate? Bah. Gore said the debate was over 2 decades ago, and, by that, he meant “no one is allowed to argue, no one is allowed to disagree.”

Bidenconomy: Heating Your Home Will Be A Lot More Expensive This Winter

By William Teach October 4, 2022 – 10:30 am

It’s not just Europe which is facing an expensive winter this year: so is the U.S. under the leadership (sic) of Joe Biden. On the brightside, we’re probably not going to get rationed, not going to go without, not have to rely on chopping down trees

It’s Going to Be a Lot More Expensive to Heat Your Home This Winter. Here’s What To Expect

Joe Biden Ice Cream AfghanistanWhen Deanna Schultz received the utility bills for the trailer where she lives in Rock Falls, Ill. this month, she was stunned at how expensive they had become. Her electric bill alone more than doubled, up $85. Now, with natural gas prices on the rise, she is concerned about heating costs, too.

“Last month I had $16 left after paying bills,” says Schultz, 50, a former teacher’s aide who has an autoimmune disorder that impacts how her body regulates temperature. “If I lose my [heating] I’m in trouble.”

Low-income Americans like Schultz face dangerous consequences of higher heating costs, but nearly everybody in the U.S. can expect to pay significantly more—often hundreds of dollars—on their heating and energy bills this winter—fueled by a global energy crisis and the fastest growing inflation in 40 years.

It’s interesting how almost none of the stories about inflation and such fail to mention the root cause, being the Chinese coronavirus, which anyone with a working brain will realize was released by accident, as the Wuhan institute doesn’t exactly have a great security record, or on purpose. Nor that Biden and the Democrats are doing little to help fix the problem, and actually doing things that hurt

Some 55.3 million Americans struggled to afford their energy bills in 2021, and it’s likely many millions more will face a crunch this year. Experts say the patchwork of assistance programs across the country may not have the funding to deal with an uptick in demand.

Instead of lots more funding, how about we do things that increase the supply of energy?

Heating bills are expected to increase by 17% across the country—costing about $177 more on average and reaching the highest cost in more than a decade, according to a Sept. 12 report by the National Energy Assistance Directors Association.

NEADA estimates that American households will pay $22 billion more in heating costs this winter than in the 2021-2022 season.

Oh, good.

But, how you heat your home and where you live will dictate how much your heating bills will increase.

  • For families that use natural gas for heating—roughly half of U.S. households—costs are expected to rise $243, up 34%, with bills hitting $952 on average.
  • Households that use heating oil may see costs rise $239, up 13%, to $2,115 on average.
  • Propane-heated households could pay $241 more, up 15%, to $1,828 on average.
  • Homes that get their heat from the electrical grid could see a more modest cost increase: up $86, or 7%, to $1,328.

The pinch is likely to be most severe in the Northeast, where oil and natural gas are the primary feeder fuels for electricity compared to other regions, further raising demand.

Guess what the Democrats are working hard to obliterate? Which is interesting, considering that the Northeast is a hive of liberalism. They’re literally voting to screw themselves.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has put a strain on global energy supplies, is likely the main source of rising heating costs, energy experts say, but other factors could be at play, too. Electric companies used up a significant amount of their natural gas reserves this summer to power air conditioning as Americans needed to cool down from the third-hottest summer on record. And the supply hasn’t been able to keep up with demand.

Of course they’re blaming Russia, though the U.S. doesn’t get much in the way of heating oil or natural gas from Russia. The summer wasn’t that much hotter than normal. COVID and Biden/Democrat policies on restricting drilling isn’t mentioned.

Bummer: UN Climate (scam) Chief Says Pledges Are Too Late

By William Teach October 4, 2022 – 7:15 am

Hey, I bet if all the climate apocalypse global elites pledge to make their own lives carbon neutral they could work to solve this. Make their own companies carbon neutral?

U.N. chief: Current climate change pledges ‘far too little and far too late’

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres issued a dire assessment Monday on the current world pledges to cut greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change, saying they were “far too little and far too late” to keep temperatures from rising above a critical threshold.

“The collective commitments of G-20 governments are coming far too little and far too late. The actions of the wealthiest developed and emerging economies simply don’t add up,” Guterres said at a press conference at U.N. headquarters in New York City of the efforts to keep average global temperatures from rising 1.5° Celsius or higher above pre-industrial levels.

The world has already warmed by 1.2°C due to the greenhouse effect caused by mankind’s burning of fossil fuels, and studies show that that amount of warming is already having a profound impact on the planet, including making hurricanes stronger and worsening drought, heat waves, wildfires, and extreme rainfall events.

While the use of coal and oil might have a small effect, it’s primarily natural variability

  • 1877-78: strong El Nino event warms global temperatures
  • 1880s-1910: small cooling, partially due to volcanic eruptions
  • 1910-1940s: warming, partially due to recovery from volcanic eruptions, small increase in solar ouput and natural variability
  • 1950s-1970s: fairly flat temperatures as cooling sulphate aerosols mask the greenhouse gas warming
  • 1980-now: strong warming, with temperatures pushed higher in 1998 and 2016 due to strong El Nino events

If anything, that underestimates. You had a huge jump in the temps in the 1930s, and the 50’s through 70’s was actually a bit negative. Then a big pause in the late 1990’s for around 16 years. And, depending on the dataset you look at, warming since 1850 can be as low as .8C. But, this is not about science, or, we wouldn’t see

Egypt: About 90 heads of state confirmed for COP27 climate summit

About 90 heads of state have confirmed attendance at November’s COP27 climate negotiations in Egypt where they will address issues including energy transition and food security at opening sessions, a senior Egyptian official said on Monday.

“We’ve received a large number of confirmations from around the world, I think the last count was about 90 heads of state but the numbers keep coming in,” said Wael Aboulmagd, special representative for the COP27 presidency, without mentioning specific countries.

Egypt is taking over the presidency of the U.N. climate talks from Britain, and will host the talks from Nov. 6-18 in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

How many of them will be taking private fossil fueled jets, with large retinues of advisors and such to the swanky resort city? How many more will do the same? How many lower level Warmists will take long fossil fueled trips?
