National Border Patrol Council Endorses Trump, Says Electing Harris Would Bring Hell To Every Community

By William Teach October 14, 2024 – 10:30 am

No one expected them to actually endorse Harris, though, did they?

National Border Patrol Council ‘Strongly’ Endorses Trump at Arizona Rally

The National Border Patrol Council issued a strong and emphatic endorsement of former President Donald Trump during an Arizona rally on Sunday.

Speaking at the podium, border patrol union president Paul Perez knocked Vice President Kamala Harris for her work as the “border czar” while praising the former president for having “always stood with the men and women who protect this border.”

“If we allow Border Czar Harris to win this election, every city, every community in this great country is going to go to hell. The untold millions of people, unvetted, who she has allowed into this country that are committing murders, rapes, robberies, burglaries, and every other crime, will continue to put our country in peril,” he said.

“Only one man can fix that. That is Donald J. Trump. He has always stood with the men and women who protect this border, who put their lives on the line for this country, a man who knows about putting his life on the line for what is right,” he continued.

“This November, we have a choice to make: continue the chaos, allow the criminal cartels to control the border, to allow drugs and fentanyl across our country, or put an end to it once and for all. On behalf of the 16,000 men and women represented by the National Border Patrol Council, we strongly support and endorse Donald J. Trump for president of the United States,” he concluded.

Two points on this. First, I still do not like federal government unions or agencies endorsing any politician: they work for the government, and shouldn’t do this. Second, will this make a difference in the election? Will it convince people to switch their vote to Trump? There are almost no articles which mention in the headline their endorsement. A lot of the articles look like this

Trump pitches plan to hire more border agents after sinking a bipartisan bill that would have boosted staffing

And mention the endorsement deep in the article. Most Republicans did not support it, because it would have been a disaster for illegal immigration. Trump simply wants a bill that would hire 10K border patrol agents.

See, it was only a few taken over by a violent Venezuelan gang which threatened to kill police officers. At least Martha blew up the MSM talking point that it wasn’t happening at all.

Cult Crazy: Almost 40% Would Be Up For WWII Style Rationing

By William Teach October 14, 2024 – 7:00 am

Well, if they keep backing leftist politicians they will get WWIII style rationing

Almost 40% would agree to WW2-style RATIONING to fight climate change

After the end of World War II, it took Britain almost a decade to finally abolish rationing for everyday goods.

While the war may be almost 80 years in the past, nearly 40 per cent of the public would now welcome back the ration book to help fight climate change.

Researchers from Uppsala University, Sweden, surveyed almost 9,000 participants from India, Brazil, Germany, and the US.

Their responses revealed that rationing for fuel and ’emissions-intensive’ products such as meat is nearly as widely accepted as raising taxes.

Lead author Oskar Lindgren, a PhD student at Uppsala University, says: ‘Rationing may seem dramatic, but so is climate change. This may explain why support is rather high.’

Weirdly, all those who believe in this aren’t actually reducing their own consumption voluntarily.

Currently, most governments and researchers focus on ‘economic instruments’ like taxing polluting products and subsidising greener alternatives.

However, scientists believe that a fairer alternative might be to limit how much of these goods can be bought.

Mr Lindgren says: ‘One advantage of rationing is that it can be perceived as fair, if made independent of income.’

And who would be in charge of this? Government? Sounds rather authoritarian. Rationing was rather forced on nations during WWII due to shortages, especially in a nation like Britain. They really didn’t have much of a choice. And does anyone think that the Elites would be subjected to the same rationing? How many politicians yammer about reducing the use of fossil fuels, yet, use way more than everyone else?

Overall, 38 per cent of respondents said they would accept monthly limits on fuel purchasing compared with 39 per cent who said they would accept greater fuel taxes.

Likewise, 33 per cent of people said they would support monthly limits on meat purchases compared with 44 per cent who said they would back a greater tax on high climate-impact foods.

This is all theoretical. The minute government started putting this in action there would be a revolt. At least in the 1st World, and, especially here in the U.S.A.

Cackles Staffers Whine That Biden Admin Isn’t Helping Out

By William Teach October 14, 2024 – 6:45 am

Um, they do realize that Harris IS actually part of the Biden administration? That they’ve been calling it the Biden-Harris admin since first elected? I wonder what has them whining?

Harris staffers blaming Biden admin for not helping her campaign: ‘They’re too much in their feelings’

spite houseVice President Kamala Harris staffers are starting to blame the Biden administration for not doing enough to help her presidential campaign, according to a new report – as the Democrat sinks in the polls with less than a month before the Nov. 5 election.

Despite the veneer of unity that Harris and President Biden have displayed after Biden dropped out of the race, some of their staffers have reportedly been butting heads behind the scenes.

Privately, several members of Harris’ team have feuded with Biden’s White House staff, feeling that they aren’t adequately prioritizing her election bid while some within the president’s orbit still feel raw over his ouster.

“The White House is lacking someone in the room thinking first and foremost about how things would affect the campaign,” a source involved in the Harris-Walz campaign told Axios.

As the Harris-Walz campaign grapples with a very close election, some within Harris’ orbit have felt that the White House hasn’t been calibrating the president’s schedule and messaging in the way that she needs, Axios reported, citing 10 sources familiar.

Well, of course they’re whining now that Harris is not doing so well. And, I really do have to wonder if Joe and Jill are intentionally doing little things to sabotage Harris’s campaign as retaliation for her helping knock him out from running for re-election. Joe has very much shown over his career that he has a mean streak. Seriously, most politicians of his stature have it in them.

To date, Harris has staunchly resisted pressure from top party strategists who have implored her to publicly draw a contrast with the policies of unpopular Biden.

“There is not a thing that comes to mind,” Harris told ABC News’ “The View” last week when asked if she would’ve done something differently during her boss’ presidency.

Obviously, she doesn’t want to say she would be an even more hardcore Modern Socialist than Biden. Anyhow, it’s not all bad blood, if you will, between Biden and Harris, but, there are enough big things that stand out.

Suddenly, California Loves States Rights In Trying To Trump Proof Their Climate (scam) Policies

By William Teach October 13, 2024 – 7:00 am

See, it’s not OK for each state to have their own policies on abortion on demand, but, it’s fine for the People’s Republik of California to have their own climate doom policies. Normally the NY Times would have issues with states bucking Los Federales

California Tries ‘Trump-Proofing’ Its Climate Policies

California officials have been working for months on a plan to “Trump proof” the state’s leading edge environmental and climate policies, in the event that former President Donald J. Trump returns to White House and follows through on his promise to gut them.

Whether California succeeds could affect more than a dozen other states that follow its emissions rules, and could have global impact because the state’s market muscle compels auto makers and other companies to conform to California standards.

The strategy now being crafted in Sacramento includes lawsuits designed to reach wide-ranging settlements with industries that generate greenhouse gases, and new rules and laws that rely on state authority and would be beyond the reach of the administration.

Mr. Trump, who considers climate change a “hoax,” has promised to weaken every major federal climate regulation, as he did in his first term.

Yeah, but, really, he won’t, except perhaps (well, he better) the rules that essentially force American citizens into EVs

But he is also expected to try to blow up California’s climate policies, which have set the pace for the rest of the nation and the world. The state is requiring about three-quarters of new trucks sold there after 2035 to be zero emissions. And in a request that is pending, California wants permission from the Biden administration to enact one of the most ambitious climate rules of any nation: a ban on the sale of new gas-powered passenger vehicles in the state after 2035.

Hey, really, if the PRC wants to do this have at it. They’ll see company after company leave, along with lots of people from working class to uber-rich. Plus all the investment/finance money. If the PRC thinks that manufacturers will change their entire assembly line as the population of the PRC plummets, they should think again. Perhaps the PRC can rely on Chinese (spying) EVs?

Mr. Trump has promised to revoke the waiver. “California has imposed the most ridiculous car regulations anywhere in the world, with mandates to move to all electric cars,” Mr. Trump has said. “I will terminate that.”

Again, will he? Or will the revenge tour ignore this stuff? It took The Donald till his last year in office to shitcan the Paris Climate Agreement. Might Trump simply say “go for it. Every experiment needs an experimental group, and we want to see what happens”?

And the Times and the PRC have cause to be concerned

Black Voters Drift From Democrats, Imperiling Harris’s Bid, Poll Shows

Vice President Kamala Harris has improved her party’s standing among Black voters since President Biden left the presidential race, but she still significantly trails Mr. Biden’s 2020 share of that vital Democratic constituency, according to a New York Times/Siena College poll of Black likely voters.

Nearly eight out of 10 Black voters nationwide said they would vote for Ms. Harris, the poll found, a marked increase from the 74 percent of Black voters who said they would support Mr. Biden before he dropped out of the race in July. But Mr. Biden won 90 percent of Black voters to capture the White House by narrow margins in 2020, and the drop-off for Ms. Harris, if it holds, is large enough to imperil her chances of winning key battleground states.

But, will they show up? How many are starting to realize that their economic well being Trump’s (sic) always voting Dem and hating Trump?

Warmists Upset JD Vance Says It’s Deranged That Women Not Having Babies Due To Climate Carnage

By William Teach October 12, 2024 – 6:45 pm

Are they upset because it’s true or because Vance had the audacity to expose that the doomsday climate cult is batguano insane?

JD Vance now says it’s ‘deranged’ for women not to have children due to climate change

JD Vance has said it is “deranged” and “very crazy” for women not to have children due to concerns about the climate crisis in his latest comments wading in on the choices of childfree Americans.

Donald Trump’s running mate has struggled to shake off the backlash for calling Kamala Harris and other Democrats “childless cat ladies” in a resurfaced interview with Tucker Carlson from 2021.

Now, in a new interview with The New York Times published on Saturday, the VP candidate was confronted once again about his past sexist comments less than one month out from the election.

While Vance admitted that his “childless cat ladies” remarks were “dumb”, he went on to stand by his argument, claiming that the US has become “almost pathologically anti-child” and that not having children due to concerns over climate change is “bizarre.”

“What I was definitely trying to illustrate ultimately in a very inarticulate way is that I do think that our country has become almost pathologically anti-child,” he said.

Vance went on to call this so-called “pathological frustration with children” “very dark” and suggested it is “sociopathic” to consider climate change when deciding whether or not to have children.

You usually do not get the UK Independent beings so climate cultish and sounding like the NY Times and Washington post, but, there you have it.

“I think you see it sometimes in the political conversation, people saying, well, maybe we shouldn’t have kids because of climate change. You know, when I’ve used this word sociopathic?” he said.

“Like, that, I think, is a very deranged idea: the idea that you shouldn’t have a family because of concerns over climate change.”

Personally, I would have gone with something like the ladies (and “men” who do not want to have kids) being indoctrinated into Crazy via a cult, similar to Scientology.

cBS Tells Employees Not To Say Jerusalem Is Part Of Israel

By William Teach October 12, 2024 – 10:30 am

cBS is playing to their Islamic extremist and Jew hating viewers rather than as a news organization

CBS memo sparks outrage: Journalists instructed not to acknowledge Jerusalem as part of Israel

CBS News is facing backlash after an internal memo instructed journalists not to refer to Jerusalem as part of Israel, igniting criticism from media figures and raising concerns about journalistic integrity. The memo, sent by CBS News senior director of standards Mark Memmott in late August, emphasized the disputed status of Jerusalem, despite its recognition as Israel’s capital by the US government.

This directive, alongside internal tensions sparked by an interview conducted by CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil on anti-Israel perspectives, has fueled controversy both within CBS and across the media landscape.

Memmott’s email advised CBS News staff to avoid saying Jerusalem is in Israel, noting that “the status of Jerusalem goes to the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” While the US embassy is in Jerusalem, and the Trump administration formally recognized it as Israel’s capital in 2017, the memo emphasized that its status is disputed. Israel considers Jerusalem its “eternal and undivided” capital, while Palestinians claim East Jerusalem—captured by Israel during the 1967 war—as the capital of a future Palestinian state.

The directive sparked outrage across social media and among journalists. Adam Rubenstein, contributing editor at The Free Press, stated, “Standards desks are now instructing journalists to deny reality.” Fox News contributor Guy Benson responded, “Jerusalem is not only in Israel, it is the capital of Israel. What on earth is happening at CBS?” Washington Examiner senior writer David Harsanyi added, “Then we can stop referring to CBS employees as journalists.”

The US Congress recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in 1995 with the passage of the Jerusalem Embassy Relocation Act. Former President Donald Trump further solidified the US stance by formally recognizing the city as Israel’s capital in 2017. CBS News has not yet responded to the controversy surrounding the memo.

No one is surprised by what cBS did, are they? The network is chock full of hardcore Leftists who’ll immediately take the side of anyone-but-Israel. Their coverage of all the anti-Israel/Jew demonstrations over the last year has been sympathetic to the Hamas and Hezbollah supporters. Heck, the three fables cBS is running this morning have an anti-Israel/pro-Palestinian terrorist theme to them. Rarely do you see anything about the suffering of Israeli citizens/Jews from the attacks of the Palestinian terrorists.

Meanwhile

As Hezbollah and Israel battle on the border, Lebanon’s army watches from the sidelines

Since Israel launched its ground invasion of Lebanon, Israeli forces and Hezbollah militants have clashed along the border while the Lebanese army has largely stood on the sidelines. (snip)

Lebanon’s widely beloved army is one of the few institutions that bridge the country’s sectarian and political divides. Several army commanders have become president, and the current commander, Gen. Joseph Aoun, is widely regarded as one of the front-runners to step in when the deadlocked parliament fills a two-year vacuum and names a president.

But with an aging arsenal and no air defenses, and battered by five years of economic crisis, the national army is ill-prepared to defend Lebanon against either aerial bombardment or a ground offensive by a well-equipped modern army like Israel’s.

Not mentioned is that Lebanon has never been happy with Hezbollah operating on their soil, but, has never been able to do anything about it. They want Hezbollah gone. Most Lebanese do not support Hezbollah. Notice how they streamed out of the areas where Hezbollah operates prior to Israel entering Lebanon, because they do not want to be human shields, especially willing ones.

The Military Is Totally Not Arguing On Climate Carnage Or Something

By William Teach October 12, 2024 – 7:00 am

So, if your boss says “hey, you need to believe in anthropogenic climate change, and make plans for it, and talk about it, and tell everyone under you they have to be a part of this”, what do you do? You can either get onboard or leave, right?

Why You Won’t Hear the Military Arguing About Climate Change

Today, the U.S. military is confronting a new enemy: climate change.

Before Hurricane Helene devastated the Southeast last month, more than 5,900 National Guard members were called up to help prepare; after the storm, the Pentagon sent active-duty forces to assist with road clearing and logistical support. In June, when Hurricane Beryl spiraled through the Caribbean before making its U.S. landfall, Texas and Vermont National Guard units supported disaster response efforts, working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide meals and water as well as help with search-and-rescue efforts. Already, U.S. forces have prepared personnel and resources to mobilize for support in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.

You mean like during every natural disaster? The US Military deployed to help out after the Great Galveston Hurricane of 1900, both to Texas and Puerto Rico. They helped out after the great Chicago fire, the massive earthquakes in the 1860s in the New Madrid Seismic Zone, as well as the big Alaska, San Francisco (multiple times), and LA earthquakes. After Mount St. Helen’s went boom.

As some politicians continue to argue about the economic impacts of climate legislation or question the imminent nature of climate threats — in September former President Trump called climate change a “scam” — the U.S. military has reorganized itself around the knowledge that climate change poses an unprecedented risk to national security. It has integrated climate preparedness into many dimensions of planning and operations. This includes not just deployments for humanitarian assistance and disaster response, but also gaming out the geostrategic impacts of the evolving climate, making adaptations to military training, building resilience into installations and shifting to alternative energy sources to improve military effectiveness.

In most parts of the government, the oscillation of electoral politics has resulted in federal climate strategies hitting endless stops and starts. The U.S. military, though, is less subject to this whiplash, given historic bipartisan support for military readiness. As a result, it has become an example of the steady progress that can occur when the U.S. government takes climate change seriously and devotes resources to mitigating risk — rather than ignoring it at a deadly cost. Today, some of the nation’s most cutting-edge climate innovations exist on military properties, including smart grids fitted with energy storage systems and the use of blended biofuels to power ships and aircraft.

This military?

Eight years of Obama. Four years of Biden-Harris. More and more high ranking wackjobs more suited to working for the Peace Corps than a strong military tasked with protecting the United States, so, of course these insane people will listen to their higher ups, and then pass the crazy downstream.
