Taliban Celebrates As Surrender Joe Finishes The Afghanistan Retreat

By William Teach August 31, 2021 – 10:30 am

Yes, it was long past time to leave Afghanistan. I was never a big fan of nation building. We should have gone in in scorched earth style, eradicating al Qaeda and the Taliban. But, nations do not do Total War anymore, not since WWII. Our allies wanted to nation build, as well. And not a whole lot has been accomplished since. But, it’s the way the U.S. pulled out, which upset our allies, as well. And made the Taliban very happy

‘This is a lesson for the world’: Taliban stand on Kabul airport runway as they brag about defeating the West and celebrate with fireworks after last US flight took off, leaving hundreds of citizens and allies behind

The West’s retreat from Afghanistan should serve as ‘a lesson for the world,’ the Taliban bragged today, as its fighters paraded at Kabul airport after the last American troops departed on Monday night.

Zabihullah Mujahid, the group’s chief spokesman, addressed the media from the tarmac this morning – posing in front of Taliban ‘special forces’ units wielding American-made rifles and US military gear, who had seized control of the airstrip just hours earlier. Elsewhere, Taliban fighters posed with captured aircraft, helicopters, and vehicles.

‘Congratulations to Afghanistan… this victory belongs to us all,’ Mujahid said, calling the day a ‘big lesson for other invaders and for our future generation.’ ‘It is an historical day and an historical moment. We are proud of these moments, that we liberated our country from a great power,’ he added.

Overnight, fireworks and celebratory gunfire had lit up the night sky over the Afghan capital after it emerged the last US evacuation flight had departed, putting an end to America’s longest war.

But hundreds of American and British citizens were left behind, along with thousands of Afghans who helped western troops on a promise of sanctuary that was ultimately broken. Many now fear for their lives.

Mujahid insisted today that Taliban security forces will be ‘pleasant and nice’ to those left behind, despite reports already emerging of summary executions and persecution against women reminiscent of the Taliban of old.

Meanwhile at Bagram air base, the former stronghold of western forces, its new Taliban commander was boasting of having ‘beaten’ America using little more than Kalashnikov rifles while saying the airfield will now be ‘a base for jihad for all Muslims’.

Oh, good, so more Islamist terrorism. And how do the U.S. intelligence agencies handle this? Well, consider that the Biden Admin basically abandoned all those who worked with the U.S. and the allies, and, do you think anyone will be interested in helping the U.S. out in the future?

The photos of all the material left behind are unbelievable. Biden basically just turned a bunch of Islamic extremists into a powerful army. If they can learn to use the material.

We had to leave at some point, I suppose. Despite still having a military presence in Italy, Germany, and Japan. Joe just did it exactly in the worst way, and now jihadis have a training base again, along with a lot of material. I wonder how much explosive they now now have? We can blame all terrorists attacks on Biden now, right?

Big Oil Wants You To Worry About Your Carbon Footprint Or Something

By William Teach August 31, 2021 – 7:42 am

Why, yes, the Credentialed Media, dupes of the Cult of Climastrology, are going full bore cultist with the same old talking points about Hurricane Ida, but, nah, I just don’t feel like spending time doing that same old thing. More importantly, people shouldn’t worry about their carbon footprints!

Worrying About Your Carbon Footprint Is Exactly What Big Oil Wants You to Do

Everybody’s going carbon neutral these days, from the big boys — Amazon, Microsoft, Unilever, Starbucks, JetBlue — to your favorite outdoor brand, even ski resorts. Probably your neighborhood coffee roaster, too.

Yeah, all those brands are pretending to Do Something, sucking in the weak minded climate cultists.

What’s not to like? Becoming carbon neutral means cutting greenhouse gas emissions as much as you can, then offsetting what you can’t avoid with measures like tree planting. Seems admirable.

Well, not exactly. Carbon neutrality doesn’t achieve any sort of systemic change. A coal-powered business could be entirely carbon neutral as long it stops some landfill gas in Malaysia from entering the atmosphere equal to the emissions it’s still releasing. American fossil fuel dependence would remain intact, and planet-warming emissions would continue to rise. The only way to fix that is through politics, policymakers and legislation. But distressingly, most businesses don’t want to play in that arena.

Instead, they’re doing exactly what the fossil fuel industry wants: staying in their lane, accepting some blame for a global problem and maintaining the dominance of fossil fuels. They’re well intentioned, sure, but also clueless, even complicit.

If Big Oil is so Evil, why have so few Warmists given up their own use of fossil fuels? Has the NY Times, which published this op-ed, stopped using fossil fuels for their operations?

Imagine if businesses put as much effort into climate lobbying as climate neutrality. Corporations wield tremendous influence over the political system. But on climate, most corporations have decided to sit this one out. Notably, the five biggest tech corporations — Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Alphabet and Amazon — spend only 4 percent of their lobbying dollars on climate, according to Influence Map.

Imagine if these corporations, which are typically called evil by Leftists because of their influence and for simply being Big Companies, minded their own damned business and didn’t try to get government to force compliance on other companies and citizens.

We need more of that approach — citizens, businesses and governments working together to address this crisis. It might result in policy solutions like government regulation, effective carbon taxes, national standards for renewable energy and electrification, the elimination of legacy subsidies for the fossil fuel industry, strict auto emission standards and new national building codes. All of these approaches threaten fossil fuel’s business model and, not coincidentally, would help to slow the warming of the planet.

In other words, force everyone to comply with the beliefs of a doomsday cult, beliefs that few act on on their own.

What do fossil fuel companies prefer? They like consumers and corporations to do anything and everything as long as they stay out of the companies’ way and avoid doing anything that could actually make a difference.

And most Americans are just fine with that, since fossil fuels are cheap, reliable, and readily available. You darned sure weren’t getting people out of New Orleans with electric vehicles, especially not when stuck in traffic.

Tragically, the overwhelming majority of American businesses are on a path of complicity. Their climate strategy avoids conflict and generates great P.R. Unfortunately, it also allows fossil fuel interests to monetize their remaining assets unhindered, ensuring catastrophe for all.

That’s because Doing Something is popular in theory, not practice. Including for most climate cultists. And what started out as making Excuses as to why Warmists shouldn’t make any changes in their own lives turned into Government force.

Surrender Joe’s Department of Education Goes After 5 States For Banning Mask Mandates

By William Teach August 31, 2021 – 7:27 am

Funny thing is, they don’t want to seem to take on Texas and Florida. I wonder why? Could it be that those states have a lot more pull, a lot more ability to defend themselves? Or, could it be that those governors will fight back very, very hard, and they could be candidates for president in 2024?

Biden Administration Launches Civil-Rights Probes against Five States over Mask-Mandate Bans

spite houseAfter President Biden gave the cue to Education Secretary Cardona, the Department of Education has launched civil-rights probes against five Republican-led states that banned mask mandates in public institutions.

“The Department has heard from parents from across the country – particularly parents of students with disabilities and with underlying medical conditions – about how state bans on universal indoor masking are putting their children at risk and preventing them from accessing in-person learning equally,” Cardona said in a press release.

OCR will investigate whether the states in question have violated Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which deal with discrimination.

The department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) sent letters to education leaders in Oklahoma, South Carolina, Iowa, Tennessee, and Utah. The recipients did not include Florida or Texas, whose governors have been battling school districts in their states over mask requirements for weeks. However, the agency said it is “closely monitoring” the conduct of those states and is prepared to take action against them if warranted.

So, basically, the Sleepy Joe admin looked for any tiny little reason available, all in an attempt to force states to comply with what is a CDC suggestion, not anything allowed by law. Nothing that has been passed by law, because there is still a 10th Amendment, and the power to force kids to wear a mask is not specifically delegated to the federal government.

Does anyone think it’s rather ironic that this is a civil rights investigation to force children to wear a mask (which mostly doesn’t work)?

(KOKO) Gov. Kevin Stitt’s office had a direct suggestion for President Joe Biden and his administration after the U.S. Education Department announced its investigation into five states, including Oklahoma, with universal mask mandate bans in schools.

“Until every American citizen is safely out of Afghanistan, President Biden shouldn’t spend a single second harassing states like Oklahoma for protecting parents’ rights to make health decisions for their kids,” Carly Atchison, communications director for Stitt’s office, told KOCO 5 in an email.

There are still at least a couple hundred Americans left in Afghanistan, along with Afghanies who wanted to get out after working with the US and other nations, and a huge number of military working dogs, which Biden just left to be taken.

Oklahoma’s new law, Senate Bill 658, prevents school districts from issuing mask or COVID-19 vaccine mandates unless the governor issues a state of emergency. Some districts have defied the law by issuing mask mandates, while others have recommended that students and staff wear masks.

Unlike the federal government, Oklahoma passed a law. People can wear masks to their hearts content, but, schools, for one, cannot force kids to wear them. That’s up to them and their parents. Federal laws, heck, all laws, should be targeted and specific, not open to whatever interpretation they want that’s convenient for the political beliefs of those in office. Especially since Joe, Jen Psaki, and so many others in the Biden admin often fail to wear masks despite Joe’s executive order regarding wearing them while in federal buildings.

https://twitter.com/MatthewFoldi/status/1432436776342376450?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1432436776342376450%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.shorenewsnetwork.com%2F2021%2F08%2F30%2Fliz-cheney-spotted-maskless-violating-state-indoor-mask-mandate-at-wedding%2F

But, see, we have to force children to wear mostly useless mask while the Elites blow off the rules.

CDC: Unvaccinated, unmasked teacher caused community-wide outbreak in California

An unvaccinated elementary school teacher in California infected more than half of her students with COVID-19, ultimately resulting in a community-wide outbreak in Marin County, a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found.

Haven’t The People In Charge been telling us that masks stop us from getting COVID? Kids in California are required to wear masks. Shouldn’t the masks have stopped this? No? Huh.

Good News: California To Make Homes More Expensive With ‘Climate Change’ Requirement

By William Teach August 30, 2021 – 3:00 pm

Just too be clear, there will be no “Hurricane Ida is climate doom” stuff, not unless I run into something really egregious, really pure moonbat. I’ve seen this all before, as have you. There’s nothing new in their doomsday fearmongering, and we all expected the climate cultists to link/blame Ida on Other People driving fossil fueled vehicles and eating tasty burgers. That’s what cult members do. So, over to California, where even the NY Times notices what climate realists have been saying, namely that the policies cause prices to skyrocket

California’s Plan to Make New Buildings Greener Will Also Raise Costs

California has led the nation in fighting climate change by encouraging the use of renewable energy and electric cars. Now the state is taking on an even harder challenge — reducing emissions from homes, businesses and other buildings that have to be heated, cooled and powered.

This month, state regulators updated California’s building code to require new homes and commercial buildings to have solar panels and batteries and the wiring needed to switch from heaters that burn natural gas to heat pumps that run on electricity. Energy experts say it is one of the most sweeping single environmental updates to building codes ever attempted by a government agency.

But some energy and building experts warn that California may be taking on too much, too quickly and focusing on the wrong target — new buildings, rather than the much larger universe of existing structures. Their biggest fear is that these new requirements will drive up the state’s already high construction costs, putting new homes out of reach of middle- and lower-income families that cannot as easily afford the higher upfront costs of cleaner energy and heating equipment, which typically pays for itself over years through savings on monthly utility bills.

The median single-family home in California sells for more than $800,000 compared to about $360,000 nationwide, and businesses pay more for rent in cities like San Francisco and San Jose than anywhere else in the country. A big reason costs are higher in California is that the state is not building enough homes, something lawmakers tried to address last week by advancing legislation that would allow more than one home on each parcel of land.

Adding solar panels and a battery to a new home can raise its cost by $20,000 or more. While that might not matter to somebody buying a million-dollar property, it could be a burden on a family borrowing a few hundred thousand dollars to buy a home.

“You’re going to see the impact in office rents. You’re going to see it in the cost of the milk in your grocery store,” said Donald J. Ruthroff, a principal at Dahlin Group Architecture Planning in Pleasanton, Calif. “There’s no question this is going to impact prices across the board.”

Surprise? Of course, it might be nice to have solar in California due to the state’s problem with having enough power, leading to brownouts and blackouts, some of them planned. But, yeah, it is going to cost prices to rise for buildings, which will lead to cost of goods and services to rise. Even more than they already are.

Chris Ochoa, senior counsel for codes and regulatory and legislative affairs at the California Building Industry Association, said the builders support efforts to address climate change. But he believes more needs to be done to retrofit existing buildings with more energy-efficient systems, too. Otherwise, new homes, with more efficient and advanced systems, will become even less affordable to first-time buyers.

Next up, forcing retrofits on existing homes. Who’s going to pay for it?

OK, one bit of crazy from the Washington Post

Fauci Wants A COVID Vaccine Mandate For School Kids

By William Teach August 30, 2021 – 10:30 am

Well, this is one way for Government to take power away from parents

Fauci says COVID vaccination mandates for school children ‘good idea’

Dr. Anthony Fauci says he thinks it’s a good idea amid the surge in coronavirus cases, due to the highly contagious delta variant, to mandate COVID vaccinations for students to attend schools.

“I believe that mandating vaccines for children to appear in school is a good idea,” the chief medical adviser for the White House said Sunday in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “We’ve done this for decades and decades, requiring polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis. So this would not be something new requiring vaccinations for children to come to school.”

The Culver City Unified School District, a small school district in Los Angeles, last week appeared to become the first district in the nation to require students 12 years and older to be inoculated.

Fauci’s comments come a week after the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine won full approval from the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA). With the Pfizer vaccine fully approved and with children across the country heading back to school, more than 100 congressional lawmakers last week urged the FDA to give initial authorization for COVID vaccines for those under 12 years of age as soon as possible.

It would be one thing if the COVID vaccines were at least 90% reliable in stopping people from getting COVID, in the way other required for school vaccines stop things like smallpox or how the tetanus vaccine works. However, they aren’t even close. Especially with all the fast mutating versions. But, to require kids get a vaccine that is showing to be able to stop it around 50% of the time? Sure, it usually means that if you have the vaccine that symptoms will be mild. Or not

(WRAL) WRAL Fayetteville reporter Gilbert Baez has been hospitalized after testing positive for COVID-19.

Baez, who was fully vaccinated, was hospitalized on Thursday at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center in Fayetteville after he diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia following his positive COVID-19 test the day prior.

“My doctor says the fact that I was vaccinated helped me battle the virus,” Baez said Friday. “I’m OK as long as I sit still, but the slightest movement triggers uncontrollable coughing and struggles with breathing.”

In fairness, without the vaccine it could have been worse. Or not. We don’t really know.

(WRAL) Duke University employees will have until Oct. 1 to prove they have received the COVID-19 vaccine, or be terminated and ineligible be rehired at Duke in the future.

In a message sent to employees, Duke leaders said faculty and staff can apply for a medical or religious exemption, but anyone approved will still have to do daily symptom monitoring, weekly surveillance testing, wear a mask and other COVID-19 safety protocols.

Employees have until 10 a.m. to receive and show documentation of vaccination. Duke officials said so far, 91 percent of employees have already completed the requirement.

Those who have not shown they are fully vaccinated by the deadline will be placed on administrative leave. Employees will then have seven days to either receive the single-dose Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine or the first dose of the Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.

Of course, when we are vaccinated, we get our lives back, right? Or, will they continue to require masks and other measures?

‘Hell no’: Some police officers and their unions oppose vaccination mandates

Hours after the Food and Drug Administration fully approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine Monday, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot made an emphatic declaration: “City employees are absolutely going to be required to be vaccinated.” (snip)

The same day, John Catanzara, the president of Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police, which represents the city’s rank-and-file officers, made it clear that he did not intend to comply.

“It cannot be mandated,” he told the Chicago Sun Times. “It’s that simple.”

“Our members don’t want to be mandated to do anything like that,” said Catanzara, who did not return multiple phone and email requests for an interview this week.

Huh

HHS Plans To Treat Climate Crisis (scam) As Public Health Crisis

By William Teach August 30, 2021 – 7:11 am

Well, of course they will, gotta keep that cash flowing and get more involved in controlling citizen’s lives

Climate Change to Be Treated as Public-Health Issue

The Department of Health and Human Services is preparing to launch an office that will treat climate change as a public health issue, designed to address what the White House says are health risks including those that disproportionately affect poor and minority communities.

Many details of the new Office of Climate Change and Health Equity, which will report to a White House climate task force, were outlined in a January executive order on climate, part of President Biden’s efforts to use the power of the federal government to address the environmental effects of changing weather.

People familiar with the planning for the new office said resources are being assembled now, without providing further details. The HHS declined to comment, including on when the new office would be operative, but the agency’s website says a briefing is scheduled Monday morning regarding the Biden administration’s “efforts to tackle the climate crisis.”

The new office is likely to spur initiatives touching on many aspects of healthcare, according to people briefed on the planning and White House releases. It is expected to offer protections for populations most at risk—including the elderly, minorities, rural communities and children—and could eventually lead to policies compelling hospitals and other care facilities to reduce carbon emissions, the people said.

The move is certain to draw opposition from many Republicans and conservative activists who criticized HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra during his spring 2021 confirmation process for policy positions he took while serving as California’s attorney general. These include his support of “environmental justice,” a movement that focuses on preventing a disproportionate share of negative environmental consequences for any population.

The rest is behind the Wall Street Journal paywall, have at it if you have access. The thing about “environmental justice” is that you the climate cult thinks all “minorities” are pretty much incapable of doing anything on their own, that they cannot survive without the Helpful Hand of Government. What’s the word for looking down on “minorities”, thinking so little of them? Oh, right, racist. That’s what the whole environmental justice movement is about. Racism.

This whole push will give the federal government even more power over your healthcare and the way you live your life, and will surely lead to more fights and lawsuits from private organizations and Republican states as the federal government continues to over-step their Constitutional boundaries.

British Question Biden’s Mental Health, Warned Joe Hold’s Grudges

By William Teach August 30, 2021 – 7:00 am

Joe’s doing a heck of a job in his first 8 months

British Warned Biden ‘Holds Grudges’ After UK Govt Sources Say He’s Gone ‘Gaga’

Biden Brain SuckerBoris Johnson has been warned that Joe Biden “holds grudges” after members of the British government questioned his mental fitness following “completely mad” press briefings on Afghanistan.

The warning follows a report in The Sunday Times that a British government minister said President Biden “looked gaga” while speaking to the press, with a government aide describing the American as “doolally” and the newspaper noting that “Such thoughts are normally never whispered in Whitehall, let alone briefed.”

“Doolally” is an insult with a strong pedigree in Britain, stemming from the name of a town in India where a sanatorium for soldiers rendered temporarily deranged by fever were sent in the 1800s.

U.S. sources have indicated that the 78-year-old Democrat is unlikely to appreciate the rich history of this description of his mental state, however, telling The Telegraph — which is close to the British government — that he is emphatically “not ‘gaga’” and in fact has “actually picked up his game quite a bit since the [election] campaign.”

“The Brits have their view. But they should be careful. What’s been said is offensive and he will remember it. He actually has a long memory,” the source warned the right-leaning newspaper.

“It’s always been his way that if somebody says something really bad to him, or about him, he doesn’t speak to them again. He does bear grudges. Boris Johnson should know that,” they added threateningly.

On the bright side, Joe probably can’t remember much of anything these days

Prime Minister Johnson, despite being described as something of a “British Trump” by left-wing commentators, had no love for Biden’s predecessor, and has hitherto adopted a sycophantic approach to the Democrat, describing his presidency as a “breath of fresh air” and saying it was “highly likely” he was “not going to disagree with the President on anything” at the G7.

Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan seems to have marked the end of this honeymoon, however, with the British leader having hinted strongly that he feels the situation there was forced upon him and America’s other allies by the White House.

Reports indicate that Johnson was unable to get the President to take a call from him for over 24 hours as Kabul fell to the Taliban, further souring relations.

Joe didn’t seem to be talking to any foreign leaders, and after the last trainwreck of a G7 video meeting, I wouldn’t be surprised of the leaders of France, Germany, and the UK, and possibly even Canada, are not interested in talking with Joe nor working with him. He’s not trustworthy. Say what you will about Trump, when our allies needed America Trump made sure the U.S. responded with help.

(UK Daily Mail) The mother of a Marine killed in the Kabul airport attack called President Joe Biden a ‘dementia-riddent piece of crap’ as the president meets with families of the 13 fallen service members on Sunday

‘My son was one of the Marines that died yesterday,’ Kathy McCollum said in a radio interview on Friday of her 20-year-old late son Rylee.

‘[He was] getting ready to come home from freaking Jordan to be with his wife to watch the birth of his son,’ McCollum said. ‘And that feckless, dementia ridden piece of crap just sent my son to die.’

Of course, criticism of Joe’s actions like this won’t make it into the U.S. media, where they have to protect Joe. Have you seen anything in the NY Times, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc, about Secretary of State Antony Blinken being on vacation in the Hamptons just hours before Kabul fell?

Yeah, he did. I almost wanted to give he a break, because people who wear watches often check them. I’ve seen it done at funerals and weddings and other times one should be paying attention. But, he conscientiously checked it, doing it surreptitiously. He knew he was doing wrong. It would be like the minister checking their watch as the moment of silence ended.

Bummer: Air Conditioning Is Killing The 21st Century

By William Teach August 29, 2021 – 3:00 pm

It’s all your fault because you won’t turn your AC off and just swelter like it’s 1499…er, no, wait, that was during the Little Ice Age, so, 1199, during the Medieval Warm Period

Air conditioning is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th Century. It’s also killing the 21st

When did indoor air become cold and clean?

Air conditioning is one of those inventions that have become so ubiquitous, that many in the developed world don’t even realize that less than a century ago, it didn’t exist. Indeed, it wasn’t so long ago that the air inside our buildings and the air outside of them were one and the same, with occupants powerless against their environment.

Isn’t progress wonderful? Not to climate cultists

Eric Dean Wilson, in his just published book, “After Cooling: On Freon, Global Warming, and the Terrible Cost of Comfort,” dives deep into the history of this field. It took more than just inventing the air conditioner to make people want to buy it. In fact, whole social classes outright rejected the technology for years. It took hustle, marketing skill, and mass societal change to place air conditioning at the center of our built environment.

Crichton: Now to get to the heart of the book, you focus on the rise of air conditioning, but you start by giving readers a wide view of what life was like before its invention. Why did you do that?

Wilson: This was a surprise — I did not go into the book thinking that I was going to find this. Before air conditioning really took off in the home, there was a really different sense of what we would call personal comfort, and something that I really argue in the book is that what we’ve come to think of as personal comfort, and specifically, thermal comfort, has changed. What I argue in the book is that it’s really in part a cultural construction.

Personal comfort today is bad.

Now, I want to be really careful that people don’t hear that I’m saying that it’s entirely a construction. Yes, when we get too hot or too cold, then we can die, for sure. But what’s really interesting to me is that there’s a lot of evidence to show that before air conditioning began at the beginning of the twentieth century, people weren’t really hungry for air conditioning.

People weren’t hungry for burgers, airplanes, or surfing before they were invented. Sitting out at the beach for a tan wasn’t a big thing before the 20th Century, either. Times change.

Crichton: I’m jumping ahead, but what does the future look like as global warming persists and our cooling increases in line with that heat?

Wilson: In so many cooling situations, there are major alternatives, like redesigning our buildings so that they require way less energy and way less cooling. There are really amazing architects who are looking to things like termite mounds, because the colonies that they build sort of have brilliantly engineered rooms with different temperatures.

That said, I was surprised how much our opinion on comfort could change by simply understanding that it could change. I think that we have to make the world of tomorrow desirable, and we can take a nod from the commercial advertising industry. We have to sell this future as one that we actually want, not as something that we’re giving up. And I think the narrative is always like, “Oh, we have to stop doing this, we have to lower this, we have to give this up.” And that’s certainly true. But I think if we understand that as not something that we’re giving up, but actually something that we’re gaining, then it makes it a lot easier. For people, it makes it feel a lot more possible.

Ah, they have to sell people on doing away with AC and living like ants. Good to know.
