Shock: Most Americans Do Not Support Gender Crazy For Children

By William Teach May 7, 2023 – 7:00 am

Of course, Hollywood A-listers are super happy to support this stuff

Drag isn’t dangerous. For adults. Leave the kids alone. They aren’t allowed in bars, strip clubs, or porn shops/theaters

Majority of Americans oppose gender-affirming care for minors, trans women participating in sports: poll

A majority of Americans oppose allowing gender-affirming care for minors and transgender women participating in women’s sports, a poll found.

A Washington Post-KFF poll found that 68 percent of adults oppose access to puberty-blocking medication for transgender children ages 10-14 and 58 percent oppose access to hormonal treatments for transgender kids ages 15 to 17.

More than 60 percent said transgender women and girls should not be allowed to compete with other women and girls in youth, high school, college and professional sports.

The results come as Republicans in states across the country have pushed for bills to restrict minors’ access to gender-affirming care and ban transgender women from competing on sports teams in line with their gender identity.

No matter how many times they call it “gender affirming care”, it’s about placating and accommodating kids who are mostly going with a fad, one that will see their lives ruined with the drugs and surgeries, one that will see them have serious mental health issues and suicidal thoughts and attempts if the adults go with it, rather than having them seek qualified, competent mental health counselors.

And Americans are not buying into this trans madness. They do not want boys competing against actual girls, nor want them in their bathrooms, changing rooms, showers, and locker rooms.

A majority of adults surveyed in the poll, 57 percent, said a person’s gender is determined by their sex assigned at birth, while 43 percent said it can be different from their sex assigned at birth.

So, 43% of Americans are bat-guano insane and do not understand basic science.

Obviously, the younger the crowd the more they approve of trans-madness, because they’ve been indoctrinated.

Climate Cult Now Hoping Malaria Will Be Next Pandemic

By William Teach May 6, 2023 – 3:00 pm

You know, because a slight temperature increase is going to make Canada like Panama, and these people are doomsday cultists, after all

Felled By A Warming World: Will Malaria Be The Next Pandemic?

The next global health crisis might not be another pandemic caused by a novel respiratory infection. Instead, we could see climate change dramatically increasing the threat from an existing infectious disease–for example, malaria, a disease that kills one child every minute of every day.

If only hysterics hadn’t created the conditions where countries most vulnerable couldn’t use DDT

Malaria, like other vector-borne diseases, reacts quickly to changes in climate, with epidemiology of the disease evolving rapidly in response to shifting rainfall patterns and warmer temperatures. Already we are seeing malaria cases at higher altitudes in places like Ethiopia and Kenya, where up to now low temperatures offered protection from mosquitoes. The increasing frequency of extreme weather events, such as violent cyclones and unforeseen floods, lead to sudden surges in malaria infections and deaths. After the devastating floods in Pakistan, malaria infections more than quadrupled. Despite massive efforts, including additional emergency funding from the Global Fund, deaths from malaria soared, far exceeding the number of people who died from drowning or otherwise directly from the floods. Countries like Malawi and Mozambique, hit by Cyclone Freddy in February 2023, know that the floods and stagnant water resulting from such a storm create ideal locations for mosquitoes to breed and can quickly lead to sharp increases in malaria cases.

As always, it’s the poorest and most vulnerable who are the most exposed to such dynamics. There’s already an almost perfect overlap between the communities designated by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as “highly vulnerable to effects of climate change” and those most heavily hit by malaria. Ninety-five percent of malaria infections and 96% of malaria deaths occur in the World Health Organization’s Africa Region. Children under 5 account for over 80% of deaths, with pregnant women being the most at-risk adults.

If there wasn’t an effective ban on DDT, it could have been updated and made better and less dangerous to other insects. But, no, the extrem-enviros happened, along with a bad, anti-science book.

Influenced by these environmental changes, we are also seeing shifts in where different species of mosquito live and thrive. For example, Anopheles stephensi, until recently found largely in Asia, has now been identified across multiple parts of Africa. The Anopheles stephensi species adapts more easily to urban conditions than most mosquitoes, and unlike the Anopheles species currently most prevalent in Africa, can carry both types of malaria parasites, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. So malaria control programs in Africa now have to contend with both a new mosquito and a new malaria parasite.

That has nothing to do with Hotcoldwetdry and everything to do with global travel and trade. Also, how do these cults think life spread around the globe?

Confronted with such a perfect storm of simultaneous challenges, we face a frightening risk of seeing many of the hard-won gains of the last two decades of fighting malaria rolled back, with infections and death rising across the world, in places already hard hit, in those that thought they were rid of the disease, and in places that never suffered from it.

And this is all your fault. How dare you!

Mayorkas Claims Border Is Totally Secure

By William Teach May 6, 2023 – 10:30 am

This is like reading a transcript from a totally 80’s boardroom meeting with all the newspeak

Mayorkas: ‘Not Worried About Title 42’ Ending — ‘The Border Is Secure Because We Are Maximizing Our Resources’ for ‘Most Effective Results’

During portions of an interview with NBC News Homeland Security Correspondent Julia Ainsley aired on Friday’s broadcast of “NBC Nightly News,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said he is “not worried about” the expiration of Title 42 and that the Department of Homeland Security has planned and executed on its plans. Mayorkas also argued that “The border is secure because we are maximizing our resources to deliver the most effective results to our border with the most extraordinary workforce in the world.”

Ainsley asked, “Are you worried about Title 42 lifting next week?”

Mayorkas answered, “I’m not worried about Title 42 lifting. We recognize the challenge at the border.”

He also said, “Our responsibility is to plan and to execute on those plans, and that is indeed what we have done and continue to do.”

The plan does not seemingly include sending people caught crossing illegally on their way

In another part of the interview, Ainsley asked, “Is our border secure?”

Mayorkas responded, “Our border is secure.” And also said, “The border is secure because we are maximizing our resources to deliver the most effective results to our border with the most extraordinary workforce in the world.”

It’s one thing to try and paint a rosy picture, it’s something else to be utterly deluded and lie about what’s going on.

Meanwhile

Border Patrol Union blasts ‘clown’ Kamala Harris, Biden’s handing of immigration after surge of migrants

The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) mocked Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday, calling her a “clown” as Title 42’s expiration date looms.

“In 6 days the massive crush of illegal aliens coming through our border will make the last 2 years look like amateur hour,” the Border Patrol Union wrote in a Twitter post.

Title 42, a Trump-era policy that allows the swift expulsion of illegal immigrants from the U.S., will expire on May 11 and tens of thousands of migrants are expected to seek entrance into America after it is lifted.

“Biden doesn’t have one clue about how to contain what he’s unleashed. He has a clown running DHS and a worse clown as VP. Watch what happens,” NBPC said in an effort to draw attention to the ongoing crisis at the southern border.

Will we see what happens from most of the national media? Doubtful. Unless they can Blame Trump.

Surprise: Study Shows EVs Only Really Benefit The Rich

By William Teach May 6, 2023 – 7:15 am

This comes from that vastly right wing outlet (sic), the San Francisco Examiner, so, it must be disinformation

Study: EVs do help air pollution, but really only benefit the wealthy

A new study shows that electric vehicles are helping make the air cleaner in California. But it’s only benefiting the wealthy.

From a purely real environmental POV, yes, EVs do not put out the pollutants that gas powered vehicles do. They would definitely decrease things like smog.

The study published on Wednesday was done in collaboration between the University of California at Berkeley, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Miami.

Researchers measured more than 400,000 rebates from 2010 to 2021 to determine how successful California’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) has been in actually reducing emissions.

The study found that electric vehicles have been successful in reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, but the benefits are primarily only in wealthy communities, leaving lower-income communities in the dust.

From a purely real environmental POV, yes, EVs do not put out the pollutants that gas powered vehicles do. They would definitely decrease things like smog. And that’s what is mentioned. Cleaner air in those rich folks areas. Because the working and middle class really can’t afford EVs.

Of the 1.1 million or so zero-emissions vehicles on the road in California last year, more than 340,000 were in the Bay Area, according to state data. Seven of the 10 wealthiest counties in the state are in the region, according to census data, with San Francisco having the fourth-highest median household income.

Shouldn’t they be taking mass transit, walking, and biking, being huge leftists and Warmists? I guess that’s only for the peasants, especially since the Elites want nothing to do with the homeless, those on drugs, criminals, and poop in the streets.

But the study found that the distribution of these rebates highly favored people in wealthy communities, at around 46%, while lower-income communities had only around 7%.

Because they can afford them. It’s really that simple. Even if there was charging capacity, they still cannot afford the vehicles.

Sanctuary City Of NYC Plans To Ship “Asylum Seekers” Elsewhere

By William Teach May 6, 2023 – 7:00 am

Funny how uber-Red sanctuary cities like NYC aren’t particularly interested in keeping all the illegals, er, asylum seekers, eh?

NYC plans to send new immigrants to Rockland, Orange. ‘We will not stand for it,’ Day says

Rockland County Executive Ed Day on Friday warned New York City Mayor Eric Adams not to bus migrants here, calling any plan to do so “absurd” and saying the county “will not stand for it.”

Adams’ office confirmed the city will temporarily house asylum seekers at hotels in Rockland and Orange counties due to the huge influx New York City has been struggling to manage. He said they were all single men, and said the placements were the start of a program that the city could expand.

Orangetown Supervisor Teresa Kenny said Friday that Adams had called her that morning to tell her for the first time that the city was considering placing some of the asylum seekers in its care in a hotel in her town.

Day said the City of New York planned to house about 340 adult men in Armoni Inn and Suites in Orangeburg for four months with plans to secure them work permits to integrate into the community.

All men, eh? Does Adams think it’s equitable to dump them in the two counties, which are just north of NYC? Didn’t Adams say that other states didn’t have the authority to send the illegals to NYC? Why not send them to Martha’s Vineyard, the Hamptons, Scarsdale, etc.? Leave the middle class neighborhoods alone.

Day said the city plan included short-term funding and services for individuals, but with no details. No realistic plans had been communicated as to who will house, feed, and support these individuals in the long-term, Day said in a statement.

NYC can pay to put them up Somewhere Else, but, not in NYC?

Kenny said she was still awaiting answers about whether criminal background checks had been conducted on the visitors and other details, such as where they are from, how long they may stay and whether they are authorized to work.

And you won’t get those checks. How will the citizens of those counties enjoy the mayhem and crime that accompanies all the illegals, especially when they are all men?

In March, Day and U.S. Rep. Mike Lawler, R-Pearl River, held a press conference warning that a wave of immigration to Rockland had strained the county Department of Social Services, particularly the foster care system; nonprofit food pantries; and the East Ramapo school district.

“Rockland County is not a sanctuary county, unlike New York City and its boroughs,” Lawler said Friday, “and should not bear the costs associated with the Biden administration’s abject failure on border security and immigration policy.”

Simply block the importation into those counties. Send them right back.

Surprise: Most Americans Who Believe In Climate Doom Aren’t Making Changes In Their Own Lives

By William Teach May 5, 2023 – 3:00 pm

This seems like a common theme, eh? Just about any time a poll or survey is taken, those who proclaim their Belief in anthropogenic climate change say they do not want to pay for it and do not really want to change their own lives. Like this piece from 2019

For example, while nearly half of adults say they would be willing to pay a $2 monthly tax on their electricity bills to help combat climate change, just over a quarter say they are willing to pay $10 extra each month. And while two-thirds support stricter fuel-efficiency standards for the nation’s cars and trucks, increases in the gas tax remain deeply unpopular.

And this one

Another emerging theme from the survey is that people do not want to spend their own money to combat climate change. Thirty-seven percent do not want to pay any additional taxes, and only 14 percent are willing to pay even $1 more a month.

Is it any wonder that I’ve been beating the bandwagon about Warmists not practicing what they preach since the mid-2000’s?

Many Americans believe that climate change is mostly caused by human activity, but few report making changes to help limit it

New Ipsos polling finds Americans are split on what is causing climate change—if it is happening at all, something that hasn’t changed in the past five years. Yet, among Americans who believe climate change is caused by human activity, most agree that people could slow or reverse climate change but aren’t willing to modify their behavior. Separately, most Americans continue to experience some form of extreme weather that’s become more frequent or intense in their area compared to ten years ago.

Heck, here in Raleigh it seems that extreme weather, ie, thunderstorms and tropical systems, have become less frequent. With big storms, that is more toward land use, where the development to the west and southwest of Raleigh changes the wind patterns, causing many storms to diminish before they get to the east side of Raleigh.

About half (49%) of Americans believe climate change is mostly caused by human activity, unchanged from 2017 and 2018.

However, while many Americans believe climate change is caused by human activity, over a quarter (27%) believe it is mostly caused by natural patterns, and 7% believe it is not happening at all.

Sad. 30+ years of Spreading Awareness and the best they can do is 49%.

Among those who believe climate change is caused by human activity, the majority (62%) agree that humans could slow or reverse climate change but aren’t willing to change their behavior.

  • Along these lines, less than half of Americans say they are likely to make changes in the next year to help limit climate change, such as using public transportation (21%), trading in their car for an electric vehicle (25%), or walking or biking to close locations instead of driving (36%).
  • Democrats are more likely than Republicans to make changes in the next year to help limit climate change, such as using public transportation (30% of Democrats vs. 14% of Republicans), trading in their car for an electric vehicle (38% vs. 10%), and walking or biking to close locations instead of driving (45% vs. 26%).

So, most do not want to do a damned thing. How many who say they will get an EV, walk, or bike, actually will? There’s a saying in my business: if you don’t believe the stat, cut it in half. Does anyone even believe the 45% divided by 2 number? I’d think more along the lines of 5%.

And, it gets even dumber, if that’s possible, when it comes to “extreme weather”

First off, wildfires are not weather. And almost all of them have been traced back to someone doing something stupid. But, then notice they blame heat trapping gases for “extreme cold” and “blizzards.” And to top it off, they’re calling earthquakes extreme weather and this is linked to ‘climate change’. Yes, this is a cult.

Bud Light CEO Whines About “Misinformation” As Brand Still Tanking

By William Teach May 5, 2023 – 10:30 am

There’s an old saying I’m confident y’all have heard many times: “if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” If Bud had simply stopped making all sorts of statements, some of which were very squishy and didn’t help, their problems might have been over. But, no, still yapping

Bud Light still facing outrage after one of ‘most polarizing’ social media gaffes ever, industry guru says

Bud Light continues to face backlash more than a month after its polarizing pact with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney prompted outrage from conservatives that an industry guru believes was one of the biggest social media misfires of all time.

The saga began when Mulvaney publicized that the beer company sent packs of Bud Light featuring the influencer’s face as a way to celebrate a full year of “girlhood.” Mulvaney said the cans were her “most prized possession” on Instagram with a post that featured “#budlightpartner.” The backlash was swift and parent company Anheuser-Busch has been faced with plummeting sales as a result, losing some $5 billion in market value.

“In my career, and from what I’ve seen, this is by far been one of the most polarizing instances within the social media space,” Viral Nation marketing strategist Emma Ferrara told Fox News Digital.

One question I do not see answered is how the other AB brands are doing. Are people not buying regular Bud, Michelob brands, Bush, etc, or have they escaped the boycott?

“When you’re looking to connect with a new community, which I think is incredibly important, I think there is a right and wrong way to approach that. And it starts with understanding who your core audience is,” she said. “It starts with also understanding who is your brand and what are your values and what’s your purpose.”

There’s nothing wrong with trying to extend your brand, but, you do not want to piss off your core audience. And the thing with certifiable Mulvaney was stupid. It pissed off women, who Mulvaney is demeaning, then the marketing boss demeaned the core audience. Maybe if AB had did this with a gender confused who actually put in the work to sorta look like and act like a real woman, it wouldn’t have been that bad.

Things have gotten so ugly that Anheuser-Busch’s CEO Michel Doukeris addressed the ordeal on an earnings call with investors on Thursday. He downplayed the brand’s partnership, and insisted there is “misinformation” spreading on social media about the company’s team-up with Mulvaney.

“We need to clarify the facts that this was one can, one influencer, one post and not a campaign,” Doukeris said, noting that the company has provided “direct financial support” to the frontline workers impacted by the boycott, naming delivery drivers, sales representatives, wholesalers, bar owners and servers.

This is where you stop digging. We all know it was just one can. It was provided, however, to a wackjob who needs competent mental health treatment who is demeaning real women.

During Thursday’s call, Doukeris said it was too early to tell how the boycott affected Bud Light sales but was bullish that Anheuser-Busch will quickly recover from any setback. He reminded investors that the company has navigated global challenges including temporary bans on beer sales in certain countries and shutdowns of bars and restaurants across the globe during the COVID-19 pandemic.

And the more he talks the more people can and will turn to other brands.

Deputy Energy Secretary David Turk Has Tough Time Answering Simple Question On ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach May 5, 2023 – 7:00 am

Do the climate cult members ever really have answers?

WATCH: Kennedy stumps Biden official on $50 trillion cost to fight climate change: ‘You don’t know, do you?’

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., left one Biden administration official without words Wednesday when he pressed him to answer one simple question: How much would spending $50 trillion in American taxpayer money to become carbon-neutral lower global temperatures?

“If we spend $50 trillion to become carbon-neutral by 2050 in the United States of America, how much is that going to reduce world temperatures?” Kennedy asked Deputy Energy Secretary David Turk during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing.

Turk appeared unable to provide a specific number, and instead began arguing that the U.S. needed to do everything it could to reduce carbon emissions before being interrupted by Kennedy pressing for an answer to the question.

This is something they should have an answer to, right? Not deflecting away?

“How much, if we do our part, is it going to reduce world temperatures?” Kennedy asked again.

“So, we’re 13% of global emissions right now,” Turk responded, before Kennedy jumped in again, saying, “You don’t know, do you? You don’t know, do you?”

“You don’t know, do you, Mr. Secretary?” Kennedy asked as Turk appeared to continue dancing around the question. “If you know, why won’t you tell me?”

“If we went to zero, that would be 13% —” Turk said.

“You don’t know, do you? You just want us to spend $50 trillion, and you don’t have the slightest idea whether it’s going to reduce world temperatures,” Kennedy said.

He still tried to deflect after that, and Kennedy pointed out that this is taxpayer money. Would you spend your money on things with absolutely no idea what it will get you? Because this isn’t about the climate it’s about controlling people.
