Bummer: SCSF Next Target Of Immigration Operation

By William Teach October 23, 2025 – 7:00 am

I still maintain that the Trump admin should prioritize going to areas that voted for him to scoop up the illegals first, but, you do have to utterly enjoy and be entertained by the apoplexy from Democrats when the target is a liberal city like Sanctuary City San Francisco

Major federal immigration operation headed to San Francisco Bay Area

The Trump administration has dispatched more than 100 federal agents, including from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to Coast Guard Base Alameda and they will begin to arrive Thursday, according to a source familiar with the operation.

In other cities, National Guard deployments have come in support of immigration enforcement operations, which President Donald Trump has said are critical to protecting U.S. jobs and public safety.

The surge of federal agents could set the stage for a potential showdown between the Trump administration and San Francisco’s leaders, who have said the city does not need federal intervention and have vowed to sue to block any National Guard deployment.

The source spoke to the Chronicle on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. The Coast Guard is part of the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees Customs and Border Protection.

Yeah, well, in a showdown SCSF loses, as Los Federales have primacy on immigration matters as stated in the US Constitution.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday responded to the surge of federal agents on social media.

“California has seen enough,” Newsom wrote. “President Trump and Stephen Miller’s authoritarian playbook is coming for another of our cities, and violence and vandalism are exactly what they’re looking for to invoke chaos. Help keep yourself and your communities safe. Remain peaceful.”

It would have been more fun if the deployment was in Sacramento, the capital of the People’s Republik Of California. Anyhow, one estimate is that illegals, adults and children, cost the PRC almost $30 billion a year. That’s $7K per legal resident. Another hard left estimate states illegals contribute $8.5 billion yearly. How’s that math work out?

(Mercury News) In San Francisco, Mayor Daniel Lurie on Wednesday threatened to sue the Trump administration if it sent National Guard troops to the city, and he announced an executive directive ordering city agencies to coordinate in support of immigrant families. At a news conference, he said the influx of federal agents would only undermine efforts to combat crime and the city’s drug crisis.

“Having the military posted in front of our schools, restaurants and office buildings will hinder our progress and let chaos get in the way of our recovery,” Lurie said in a virtual news conference.

Too bad, judges keep ruling in favor of the National Guard deployments. Hey, it might decrease the crime in SCSF.

UN Head Unhappy Skeptics Are Allowed To Speak

By William Teach October 22, 2025 – 2:56 pm

This is the same guy who took a long, fossil fueled trip to Nepal to take a publicity photo. And Antarctica. The same guy who oversees 40,000+ heading to UN IPCC COP conferences in far off places, this year being in Brazil, where they razed a section of the Amazon to build a road

UN chief calls for ‘fight’ against climate disinformation

Green Climate Thought PoliceGuterres issued a robust defence of “clear-eyed” climate science and data, without which, he said, the world would never have understood the emergence of the “dangerous and existential threat of climate change”.

“We must fight mis- and disinformation, online harassment, and greenwashing,” Guterres said at the UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO) weather and climate agency in Geneva.

“Scientists and researchers should never fear telling the truth.”

Guterres’s remarks will be seen in some quarters as a riposte to Trump’s speech at the United Nations in New York last month, in which the Republican president championed fossil fuels and derided green technologies.

“Fight” gives climate cultists the green (sic) light to attack people physically.

“Global warming is pushing our planet to the brink,” said Guterres.

Except for the 40K attending COP conferences. And all the Warmists who drive fossil fueled vehicles.

The UN secretary-general said countries needed strong domestic climate action plans in time for the summit, urging nations to address the problem of climate disasters at source.

Countries had those, and so many are now backtracking, not wanting to destroy their economies.

(Tribute India) He advocated three areas of urgent action worldwide.

Governments, he said, must embed early-warning systems across their policies, institutions and budgets by bringing together meteorological and hydrological services into national disaster risk reduction mechanisms, including through legislation.

To reach every community globally, he said, requires a surge of financing and cited the consensus at The Financing for Development Conference in Sevilla in June to “unlock more finance for developing countries” and to “reform global financial institutions so they better meet the needs of developing countries.”

More money and control of financial institutions via the government. Funny how it’s always about Modern Socialism and never about Warmists practicing what they preach.

Democrat Running To Defeat Susan Collins Has Nazi Tattoo

By William Teach October 22, 2025 – 10:30 am

Remember all the furor over Pete Hegseth’s Christian tattoos from the US media, how they said it was disqualifying? Weirdly, I’m not seeing any of that with this guy

Sanders-backed Democrat who accuses Israel of ‘genocide’ has Nazi ‘Totenkopf’ tattoo

An oyster farmer and progressive military veteran running an insurgent campaign for Maine’s Democratic Senate nomination admitted this week to having had a Nazi tattoo for nearly two decades.

Graham Platner shared a video of himself shirtless, sporting the tattoo, on a popular progressive podcast. He denied that he himself ever held Nazi views, instead claiming he had gotten the tattoo while “inebriated” as a young adult without knowing what it meant.

Since launching his campaign this summer, the 41-year-old Platner has picked up steam in left-wing circles for his populist positions, including calling Israel’s military campaign in Gaza a genocide.

The political neophyte has won endorsements from progressive leaders, including Vermont’s Sen. Bernie Sanders, who is Jewish. Morris Katz, the Jewish campaign strategist behind Zohran Mamdani’s digital ads for New York City mayor, made a campaign launch video for Platner.

As of Sept. 30, according to campaign finance records, Platner led his Democratic rivals in campaign donations with $3.2 million in contributions. At his rallies, the biggest applause comes when he delivers lines like “Our tax dollars can build schools and hospitals in America, not bombs that destroy schools and hospitals in Gaza.”

No calls from the NY Times or Washington Post for him to drop out, not even performative ones, because the Democrat base supports the aims of Nazis, as they’ve aligned themselves with the Islamists and Jew haters.

This week, a recent video of a shirtless Platner also surfaced in which he can be seen sporting a chest tattoo of a Totenkopf, a Nazi-era skull-and-crossbones design favored by SS officers. “Totenkopf,” or “Death’s Head,” was also the name of the division of officers who guarded the concentration camps.

He claims he got while drunk as a skunk while on leave in 2007 without knowing the meaning. And that is what he is telling the media in the US, which do not seem very interested

However, quoting an anonymous former acquaintance of his, Jewish Insider reported on Tuesday that Platner had referred to the ink as “my Totenkopf” more than a decade ago and would frequently take his shirt off at the Washington, D.C., bar where he worked at the time. “He said it in a cutesy little way,” the source said. Jewish Insider additionally reported that Platner had met with other men with Nazi links, including one neo-Nazi who is running for a seat on Bangor City Council.

Huh. He claims he is going to have it removed. You know, now that he is busted. But, will he? Will Democrats vote for him? Are we surprised by him being accepted by the Democratic Party?

Washington Post: Hey, You Need To Stop Eating So Many Burgers

By William Teach October 22, 2025 – 7:15 am

Someone seriously spent time putting this “study” together. Hopefully not with taxpayer money

Your diet’s impact on the planet depends on where you live. Look up your city.

climate cowResearchers have documented for years that eating beef, pork and chicken has a significant environmental impact, especially when it comes to heating the planet.

But it’s far from a uniform impact. What you eat, and where you eat it, can have a big effect on how much you’re contributing to climate change, according to a study published Monday in the journal Nature Climate Change.

For the first time, researchers calculated the planet-warming pollution emitted from raising the beef, pork and chicken Americans eat — their carbon “hoofprint” — for every town and city in the country.

Across the country, eating beef is the bigger contributor to harmful pollutants. But it’s not as simple as that. Its origins matter. Eating a steak or a burger in Milwaukee, where the meat comes from nearby dairy cows, generates fewer emissions than in Oklahoma City, where beef tends to come from feedlots.

Mind your own business, but, this is interesting

Can you guess the top three emitting cities in this analysis? Hint: They’re where the most mouths to feed are: New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. When adjusted for emissions per capita, though, researchers found little connection between how much a town eats and its climate impact.

So, three massive Dem cities full of lots of climate cultists. Weird!

What lowers the hoofprint?
“You don’t have to cut out any single meat to have really significant shifts in your hoofprint,” Goldstein said, adding that just swapping half of the beef you eat for other protein can move the needle. The researchers modeled impacts to emissions from simple lifestyle changes that can add up to a 51 percent drop in one’s hoofprint.

“The average American eats five servings of beef a week,” Goldstein said. “So, all right, you can still have two burgers a week.” Goldstein is not a vegetarian, he said, and has a burger once in a while.

Or, you can mind your own f’ing business, and leave the rest of us alone.

Met Police Refuse To Allow Anti-Immigration Weekend Protest

By William Teach October 22, 2025 – 7:00 am

The UK is lost

Same police have no problem with anti-Jew and anti-Israel protests. Sure, they might arrest a lot of folks (who mostly are let go without charges), but, do not seem to do much about calls to kill Jews and erase Israel

(BBC) A planned demonstration by the UK Independence Party (UKIP) has been banned by the Metropolitan Police from taking place in an area with a large Muslim population.

The force said the move was because the gathering, due to take place in east London on Saturday, bore a “realistic prospect of serious disorder”.

Initially advertised as a march from Whitechapel station and later revised to be an assembly in the same area, it was part of a series of events to “reclaim Whitechapel from the Islamists”, the Met said.

UKIP said the police had “caved into the Islamists and violated our democratic right to peaceful assembly in Whitechapel this Saturday”.

Public Order Act conditions mean UKIP cannot hold its protest in Whitechapel or anywhere else in the borough of Tower Hamlets.

The Elites bring in millions of people incompatible with Britain, people who demand Britain assimilate to them, who allow Sharia law and all the rest, but, if you are a British citizen and do not like what is happening to your country you are banned.

New Japanese Prime Minister Is A Heavy Metal Drummer

By William Teach October 21, 2025 – 3:00 pm

Oh, and conservative

From the link

As a young woman in the late 1970s, Sanae Takaichi commuted six hours a day by bus and train from her parents’ home in western Japan to attend university. She was a fan of heavy metal music and Kawasaki motorcycles who yearned to move out. But her mother insisted at first that she stay home, forbidding her from living in a boardinghouse before marriage.

“I dreamed of having my own castle,” Ms. Takaichi wrote in a 1992 memoir.

On Tuesday, Ms. Takaichi won election as Japan’s prime minister, the first woman to do so in the nation’s history. It was the pinnacle of an improbable rise in politics and a milestone in a country where women have long struggled for influence.

Ms. Takaichi, 64, who grew up near the ancient Japanese capital of Nara, defies easy labels. She once spoke bluntly about the challenges of working in politics as a woman in Japan, yet she is now the leader of the traditionalist, male-dominated Liberal Democratic Party. She has expressed concern about Japan’s reliance on the United States, but has also said she hopes to work closely with President Trump. She is an amateur drummer who idolizes bands like Iron Maiden and Deep Purple, yet she also wears blue suits to pay homage to her other hero, the former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

This is awesome. Perfect resume!

Ms. Takaichi, a protégé of Shinzo Abe, Japan’s longest-serving prime minister, who was assassinated in 2022, is expected to move Japan farther to the right, responding to a recent populist wave that bears some similarities to Mr. Trump’s MAGA movement. She has embraced hawkish policies on China; pushed the message that “Japan is back”; played down Japan’s atrocities during World War II; and promised to more strictly regulate immigration and tourism.

“She wants to make Japan strong and prosperous for the people of Japan and for the world,” said Yoshiko Sakurai, a prominent journalist and activist who has supported Ms. Takaichi. “She is open to the outside world. But she also understands that we have to be really good Japanese. We have to know our own culture, traditions, philosophy and history.”

Somehow, in NY Times World, this is a Bad Thing, what they paint as conservative and far right. Anyway, the article is actually very good, and shows how hard it is to be a woman in politics in Japan, and how she overcame it all.

Pro-Hamas Students Sue Over Required Antisemitism Training

By William Teach October 21, 2025 – 10:30 am

Usually colleges require training on how to properly use pronouns, accept males with mental illness in their locker rooms, showers, and on their spots team, bow to minorities, and all sorts of Woke stuff

Pro-Palestine students sue Northwestern University over ‘coercive’ antisemitism training

Pro-Palestine students filed a Title VI lawsuit against Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, over claims that measures to combat antisemitism, including mandatory training, are “coercive and discriminatory.”

The federal class-action lawsuit was filed on October 15 on behalf of Northwestern Graduate Workers for Palestine (GW4P) and two affected students, named as Ifeayin Eziamaka Ogbuli (a second year doctoral student) and Marwa Tahboub (a fifth-year doctoral candidate).

The lawsuit alleges that the university has violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as well as the Civil Rights Act of 1866 “under the pretense of combating antisemitism.”

The suit lists several examples of measures taken against pro-Palestinian activism by the university which it considers to be oppressive.

The first is the use of campus police to “attack” student participants of a pro-Palestine encampment set up in April 2024. Northwestern University Police Department (NUPD) was instructed to crackdown on the protesters. Northwestern faculty and staff members intervened to protect the student encampment by linking arms around it. According to the suit, “the NUPD responded to the faculty and staff with excessive and unreasonable force and by filing criminal complaints against four of them.”

So, the Islamic extremists are upset over not being allowed to call for killing Jews and erasing Israel from the map? Not allowed to bully Jewish students?

The second example is the university’s alleged “yielding” to “unconstitutional governmental pressure to repress student speech.” This refers to a May 2023 decision by the House of Representatives to investigate Northwestern’s antisemitism, which in turn led Northwestern President Michael Schill to testify that the encampment was “antisemitic” and “pro-terror.”

Following the investigation, and the testimony of Schill, the university enacted policies to combat antisemitism, which the suit refers to as “policies to restrict students from expressions of national origin.”

They’re admitting that they hate Jews because of where the students filing the suit are from, and should be deported back to the Islamic nations. Would it be acceptable if there was a student group professing hatred of Blacks? Or, would the majority of students bully them off campus?

The suit adds that the “conceptualization of the Jewish right to self-determination is discriminatory.” The discussion of the antisemitism module of the mandatory training takes up five pages of the lawsuit, over five times more than any other of the stated examples of Title VI violations.

How about we deport these people? They have no place in a civilized nation.

Your Fault: Climate Doom Made LA Wildfires Worse

By William Teach October 21, 2025 – 7:00 am

Obviously, it had nothing to do with poor brush management, a failure to make sure water to fight the fires was available, poor communication, poor staffing, lack of pre-positioning, and more

Warming Made L.A. Wildfires 25 Times Larger

Warming made the devastating L.A. wildfires earlier this year twice as likely and 25 times larger, according to a new report on global wildfires.

“Climate change is not only creating more dangerous fire-prone weather conditions, but it is also influencing the rates at which vegetation grows and provides fuel for the fires to spread,” said coauthor Francesca Di Giuseppe of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. In L.A., uncommonly heavy rainfall drove the growth of shrubs, which turned to tinder when the region was hit by an exceptional drought.

The latest State of Wildfires report, which is undertaken yearly by an international team of experts, finds the worsening heat and drought also fueled record fires in the Congo and the Amazon. In the Pantanal-Chiquitano region of South America, fires last summer were 35 times larger as a result of warming.
