Good Grief: They Want To Phase Out Fossil Fuels In Davos

By William Teach January 21, 2026 – 7:15 am

This Davos?

Remember, they were just there at the beginning of December 2025

At Davos, Phasing Out Fossil Fuels Is No Longer Debatable

As leaders gather at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, they do so at a moment of real consequence for humanity’s shared future. The choices made now about energy, finance, and cooperation will shape not only climate outcomes, but economic resilience and global stability for decades to come.

The evidence is no longer in dispute. Continued expansion of coal, oil, and gas is incompatible with planetary stability and long-term prosperity. Fossil fuels remain the primary driver of global warming and ecosystem degradation, creating material risks to food systems, public health, infrastructure, and national economies.

Yet despite these realities, the fossil fuel economy continues to exert outsized political and financial influence. This was evident at COP30 in Belém, where negotiations once again failed to deliver a clear, binding commitment to phase out fossil fuels, and where one in every 25 attendees represented fossil fuel interests. The gap between what science demands and what politics delivers remains dangerously wide.

Still, leadership is emerging. The Belém Declaration on the Transition Away from Fossil Fuels signaled a shift toward coalitions of countries choosing action over paralysis, guided by science and informed by Indigenous knowledge. Initiatives led by Colombia and The Netherlands to advance a Fossil Fuel Phase-Out Conference show how progress can be accelerated without abandoning the annual United Nations climate summits. Strengthening global cooperation  remains essential, even as new coalitions accelerate action where progress has stalled.

No mention yet of all the people who flew fossil fueled jets, especially private ones, to Davos and COP30

For business and finance leaders, the message should be unmistakable. The question is no longer whether the fossil fuel era will end, but how. Who will lead, and who will be left behind? A just and orderly phase-out that does not unfairly burden nations least responsible for the crisis is not only a moral imperative; it is a strategic economic opportunity.

Treating fossil fuels as instruments of short-term geopolitical leverage may appear decisive, but it entrenches fragility, delays diversification, and misreads the future of energy security.

A whole-planet approach is essential. That means phasing out planet-harmful fossil fuel subsidies, redirecting finance toward renewable energy and storage, and investing in living forests through platforms such as the Tropical Forest Forever Facility. Addressing climate change, food systems, health, and economic stability in silos is no longer viable.

Nope, no mention of climahypocrisy. Just doomsday cult Authoritarianism.

LOL: Walz, Frey, Others Served Subpoenas From DOJ

By William Teach January 21, 2026 – 7:00 am

You know, if Democrats hadn’t done what they did during the Trump and Biden years to Trump and other Conservatives this kind of stuff would have never happened, even if it should have. Republicans wouldn’t have the cajones to go after Democrats

DOJ serves subpoenas to Walz, Frey and other Minnesota officials amid immigration crackdown

The Justice Department has sent subpoenas to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and other state leaders, escalating its investigation into whether state officials conspired to impede law enforcement during the Trump administration’s immigration operations, according to a document reviewed by NBC News and a person familiar with the investigation.

The subpoenas were also sent to Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, the office of St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her and two counties, according to the document and the person familiar with the probe.

In a statement to NBC News, Frey sharply criticized the Trump administration and accused the Justice Department of misusing its power.

“When the federal government weaponizes its power to try to intimidate local leaders for doing their jobs, every American should be concerned. We shouldn’t have to live in a country where people fear that federal law enforcement will be used to play politics or crack down on local voices they disagree with,” Frey added.

Seriously, all you nutbags had to do was not back illegal alien criminals and the wackjobs in the streets. Not entice them to be wackos in the streets, not attack federal law enforcement. Not protect illegal aliens. But, no, your TDS led you down the wrong path

“In Minneapolis, we won’t be afraid. We know the difference between right and wrong and, as Mayor, I’ll continue doing the job I was elected to do: keeping our community safe and standing up for our values,” the Democratic mayor added.

It’s your job to protect these people?

The investigation comes after an ICE officer shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, during an immigration enforcement operation. The killing sparked protests and led to clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement in scenes that have drawn national attention.

If Walz, Frey, Ellison, etc, had been doing their jobs they would have been handing illegal alien criminals over to ICE. Calling ICE to come take them. They would have told the activists to stand down and not get in the way. They didn’t.

Netflix Wants The Plot Of Movies Repeated Multiple Times Now

By William Teach January 20, 2026 – 8:00 pm

It’s a shame Netflix, and the others, want to make movies for the lamest constituency

Matt Damon claims Netflix wants movies to repeat plots in scenes because ‘people are on their phones’

Actor Matt Damon claimed that Netflix requests that its films reiterate the plot “three or four times” in scenes to accommodate viewers on their phones.

Damon and his longtime friend and fellow actor Ben Affleck joined the “Joe Rogan Experience” on Friday to promote their new film “The Rip,” which premiered on Netflix that same day.

While discussing the film, Damon remarked on how viewers have a “very different level of attention” to Netflix movies they can watch at home compared to other films released in theaters. He added that Netflix has begun changing the filmmaking process to appease these distracted viewers.

“The standard way to make an action movie that we learned was, you usually have three set pieces,” Damon said. “One in the first act, one in the second, one in the third. You spend most of your money on that one in the third act. That’s your finale. And now they’re like, ‘Can we get a big one in the first five minutes? We want people to stay. And it wouldn’t be terrible if you reiterated the plot three or four times in the dialogue because people are on their phones while they’re watching.’”

This is just one of the many issues with today’s movies and TV shows. Adding in the whole meaning of the movie instead of “letting the music do the talking.” There are certainly times when explanations work in, but, they literally want explanations where they are speaking to the audience constantly as to what is going on, rather than showing it. We knew that aliens had invaded Earth and were doing well in Edge Of Tomorrow, but, then, it is mostly action and the characters discussing, but, they are talking to each other, not directly to the audience. Especially when the yutes have the attention span of a puppy.

Consider

Would anyone in the future give a fuck if they are a lesbian couple? No. But, the show will use the opportunity to yammer, discuss, berate anyone who doesn’t hold the same view, virtue signal, spend too much time, and lecture to the viewing audience. Remember the kiss between Kirk and Uhura, the first interracial kiss on TV? There was no discussing the significance, no yapping. Show, don’t tell. It was basically “there is no deal with this, it’s normal”. Modern Hollywood doesn’t get this. No one wants a lecture. You normalize things like this, not hold forth, essentially breaking the 4th wall. It’s tedious. It destroys the entertainment value. If you want to make an art movie or show, do it, but, in big budget it sucks and loses viewers. Grey’s Anatomy flirted with that edge of the wall many times, but, pulled back, hence why it continues (well, I tuned out, but, mostly because the new characters are boring and 1 dimensional. Also, a stupid plot about having an open marriage, and, while I like the Owen character, I’ve disliked Teddie for a long time).

Then there is all the grooming stuff, but, you’ve certainly read tons on that.

Another big problem is that so many of the young actors and actresses are stone faced. You read that article about the “Gen Z Stare“? I call it the Gen Z Glaze, because there is no emotion on their faces. Or in their body language. Or in their voices. Without emotional cuse there is no connection (unless it is on purpose, like Jake in Animal Kingdom). Almost everyone young in the newest Dune was dull. Robotic. I turned off Final Destination: Bloodlines right after her arms came off because there was really no emotional content (also, because the garbage truck scene was so dumb I could no longer suspend disbelief). “Hey, dad got killed by a lawnmower to the face, it’s terrible….swipe swipe swipe tap tap tap” in the voice of a robot. Holding arms of a friend and no screams, no anything. I just don’t feel it.

Have you seen the 1973 Westworld? Yul Brynner has only 9 lines of dialogue throughout the movie, only 32 words. It’s all about his facial expression and body language, which was terrifying. Menacing. That’s acting.

In fairness, I do think Millie Bobbi Brown is good. Perhaps overacts like an 80s action movie star at times, but, she provides emotion. Otherwise, so many of the modern movies I cannot even make it through for one reason or another. Same with TV, where they jam too much into too few episodes and the character connection gets lost. Game of Thrones was great at focusing on the people, either loving them or hating them. I really have no idea what happened in Alien: Earth, and still haven’t bothered with the final episode. I felt no connection to any character. Or any idea what was going on. A Quiet Place Day One? I didn’t care when a main character sacrificed herself or that the other main escaped. I felt more for the dog.

Anyhow, I could probably rant more about girl bosses and such being a problem (it’s also guys who no one believes could be the badass), maybe another time.

Your Fault: Antarctica Penguins See Their Breeding Season Change

By William Teach January 20, 2026 – 4:20 pm

In Warmist World the natural processes and such on Earth never ever changed prior man-caused climate doom

Antarctic penguins have radically shifted their breeding season – seemingly in response to climate change

Penguins in Antarctica have radically shifted their breeding season, apparently as a response to climate change, research has found.

Dramatic shifts in behaviour were revealed by a decade-long study led by Penguin Watch at the University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University, with some penguins’ breeding period moving forward by more than three weeks.

The changes threaten to disrupt penguins’ access to food, increasing concerns for their survival. “We are very concerned because these penguins are advancing their season so much, and penguins are now breeding earlier than in any known records,” said the report’s lead author, Dr Ignacio Juarez Martínez.

“The changes are happening so fast that the penguins could end up breeding at times when their prey is not available yet. This could result in a lack of food for the penguin chicks in the first weeks of their life, which could be fatal. Even if the penguins could match their prey’s behaviour, we can’t expect them to keep this pace up much longer.”

Obviously, the memo went out to publish this doom

The researchers examined changes in the timing of penguin breeding between 2012 and 2022, specifically their “settlement” at a colony – the first date at which penguins continuously occupied a nesting zone. Three species – Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae), chinstrap (P antarcticus) and gentoo (P papua) – were studied, with colony sizes ranging from a dozen nests up to hundreds of thousands of nests. (snip)

Gentoo penguins showed the greatest change, with an average advance of 13 days over the decade and up to 24 days in some gentoo colonies. This represents the fastest change in phenology (timing of breeding) recorded in any bird, and possibly any vertebrate, to date. Adélie and chinstrap penguins also advanced their breeding by an average of 10 days.

Such drastic changes also threaten to increase competition between the region’s penguin species, with clear “winners” and “losers” expected.

So, did they always breed at the same time over the last 8,000 years, the Holocene, during all those warm and cool periods? Or, did things change periodically? If they cannot answer that question, much less what has happened over the millions of years penguins have been in Antarctica, then they are just fearmongering. One little study over 10 years is meaningless. But, that’s not the point: it’s all about scaring people to get money, getting attention for the researchers, getting government to Do Something. To push climate cult doctrine.

Heartache: DOJ Investigating Wackos Who Invaded Church

By William Teach January 20, 2026 – 10:30 am

The same Credentialed Media and Democrats whining about this are the same ones who had zero problem hunting down people who peacefully walked through the halls of Congress, The People’s House, causing no problems, no yelling, no screaming, and prosecuted them for felonies

DOJ probing protesters group that disrupted services at church with ICE pastor

The Department of Justice said Sunday it is investigating a group of protesters in Minnesota who disrupted services at a church where a local official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement apparently serves as a pastor.

A livestreamed video posted on the Facebook page of Black Lives Matter Minnesota, one of the protest’s organizers, shows a group of people interrupting services at the Cities Church in St. Paul by chanting “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good.” The 37-year-old mother of three was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this month amid a surge in federal immigration enforcement activities.

The protesters allege that one of the church’s pastors – David Easterwood – also leads the local ICE field office overseeing the operations that have involved violent tactics and illegal arrests.

Justice Department Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said her agency is investigating federal civil rights violations “by these people desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshippers.”

“A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest! It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws!” she said on social media.

The 1st Amendment does not apply in a private building on private property. I’ve heard the moonbats yammer about it being public because anyone can walk in, the doors are open, which doesn’t mean they can come in and go batguano insane

Nekima Levy Armstrong, who participated in the protest and leads the local grassroots civil rights organization Racial Justice Network, dismissed the potential DOJ investigation as a sham and a distraction from federal agents’ actions in Minneapolis-St. Paul.

Whenever the “distraction” word comes out you know they’re in trouble. Also, they created the “distraction”.

Anti-ICE agitator who stormed Minnesota church service also harassed congregants at Pete Hegseth’s church

One of the anti-ICE agitators who stormed into a Twin Cities church Sunday has also been accused of harassing congregants at Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s church in Washington, D.C.

Anti-ICE agitators stormed Cities Church sanctuary on Sunday, causing chaos and insisting that one of the pastors is the acting director of ICE’s St. Paul field office. Protesters were heard shouting “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good” in the middle of services in front of shocked churchgoers. A man with the group was identified as William Kelly, who goes by “DaWokeFarmer” on TikTok, where he has over 66,000 followers, and regularly posts politically charged videos attacking ICE, President Donald Trump and members of his administration with profanity.

They’re all professional agitators. No real jobs, just funded by shady groups to be, well, professional assholes.

Maybe if Democrats hadn’t completely weaponized the justice system to start with this would not happen. But, it is delicious that Lemon could be charged under the KKK Act, and the wackos at the church could also be charged.

Oops: Trump Pulling Out Of The Climate Scam Causes Money Problems

By William Teach January 20, 2026 – 7:15 am

Certainly all the Warmists could chip in a bunch of money to Do Something, right?

Trump retreat on climate change creates major global funding shortfall, expert warns

The Trump administration’s retreat from global climate commitments is already punching holes in international efforts to combat climate change, creating funding gaps that other governments and private investors are unlikely to fill, a senior climate policy expert warned.

Ed Carr, director of the US office at the Stockholm Environment Institute, told Anadolu that Washington’s withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and sweeping cuts to climate-related programs are reverberating across the multilateral system.

“The US was a very large part of the funding for climate action around the world,” Carr told Anadolu. “That is something this administration controls. The Trump administration clearly is not going to spend money on this in any significant way, and that’s going to create huge gaps.”

President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly dismissed climate change as a “hoax” and more recently a “fraud,” moved swiftly after returning to office to dismantle US participation in international climate frameworks.

Huh, so those other government aren’t willing to pay their fair share? To put their money where their mouth’s are? They just wanted the US to do it? IE, the American taxpayer? Well, we’re no longer your piggy bank.

Carr said the impact is already visible inside the UN system.

He said that the World Meteorological Organization is expected to cut a significant number of staff positions, while the United Nations Environment Program is likely to face similar staff reductions and reductions in its climate-related work.

Why can’t others pay for it? How about those super rich folks who flew private jets to Brazil for COP30? One less mega-yacht each would go a long way. Funny how China isn’t jumping in. They don’t want to spend money, they want to get rich of the scam.

Anyhow, like most stuff, the funding that used to come from America mostly disappeared into the pockets of NGOs, lawyers, politicians, 3rd world warlords, etc, with very little being spent as intended.

Gemini AI did a pretty interesting job with that graphic, eh?

Judge To Soon Decide If Federal Immigration Enforcement Can Continue In Minnesota

By William Teach January 20, 2026 – 7:00 am

Does left wing loon Judge Kathy realize that this is all authorized by laws passed by duly elected Congresses and signed into law by duly elected presidents? What makes her think any lawsuit can stop the federal government from engaging in a Constitutional power of the federal government?

DOJ due to respond to Minnesota lawsuit seeking immediate stop to immigration enforcement surge

An important deadline arrives Monday in the legal standoff between Minnesota and the federal government, as the U.S. Department of Justice plans to respond to a lawsuit seeking an immediate stop to the surge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the state through a temporary injunction.

While Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a federal holiday, the judge said the issue was too important to wait.

U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez is considering whether to grant an immediate temporary restraining order limiting ICE activities. She said last week she would not issue the temporary restraining order until she heard a response from the federal government.

The lawsuit was filed late last week by the state of Minnesota and the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The suit argues the unprecedented surge of an estimated 3,000 federal agents is endangering citizens. It accuses ICE of violating the First and Tenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

Oh, this should be good

According to the lawsuit, Minnesotans have been “unlawfully seized and been the victims of excessive force by federal immigration agents for exercising their First Amendment rights to observe or protest federal government conduct.”

They have no Right to get violent, threatening, or interfere with law enforcement. Looking at that link in the 1st paragraph

The Tenth Amendment protects states’ sovereignty and limits federal powers to those granted in the U.S. Constitution. It provides autonomy to the states in issues like education, elections and public safety. While Ellison is optimistic, some legal experts think the lawsuit is a long shot because it would be similar to telling the FBI it could not operate in the state.

I remember when Democrats, including Obama, sued over Arizona’s SB1070, the “show me your papers” law, and they all said that immigration was a federal power. And, it’s in the Constitution. It can be delegated to the states, but, it is not a power that the States have.

Meanwhile, this is hilarious

I wonder how many have defund the polices signs and bumper stickers?

Moonbats Invade Church During Service Saying The Pastor Of Being ICE Agent

By William Teach January 19, 2026 – 10:30 am

Who put them up to this moonbattery?

Watch: ‘Sanctuary City’ Radicals Invade Church Sanctuary

Anti-ICE protesters invaded a church in Minnesota on Sunday, accusing the pastor of being a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.

In a live YouTube video recorded by former CNN host Don Lemon, protesters were seen storming into Cities Church in Minneapolis. Protesters were heard chanting, “Hands up, Don’t shoot,” and “ICE out.”

Lemon was heard clarifying on video that he was “not part of the group” and that he was just there “photographing.”

Lemon explained that, according to the protesters, they had allegedly discovered “one of the pastors” is a “member of ICE.”

Lemon just happened to be there? Did he put them up to this?

Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon revealed that an investigation had been launched into “the potential violations of the federal FACE Act.”

“The @CivilRights in investigating the potential violations of the federal FACE Act by these people desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshippers,” Dhillon wrote in a post on X.

Breitbart News’s Katherine Hamilton has previously reported that the FACE Act, which was passed in 1994, prohibits “violent, threatening, damaging, and obstructive conduct intended to injure, intimidate, or interfere with the right to seek, obtain, or provide reproductive health services.”

Perhaps, but, I don’t have a lot of confidence that anyone will be arrested. And, even if they are, some left-wing wacko judge will drop the charges. The FACE Act does also protect churches

“Lemon: “Listen, there’s a constitution, the First Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest.”

Pastor: “We’re here to worship Jesus because the hope of the world is Jesus Christ…”

Lemon: “But did you try to talk to them?”

Pastor: “No one is willing to talk. I have to take care of my church and my family so I ask that you would also leave this building.”

Imagine storming a church mid worship and thinking you are the good guys.”

Lemon’s an idiot. There is no freedom of speech or protest within a privately owned building.

Yeah, it was about protesting Government peaceably without fear of reprisal. He’s a dipshit.
