Weird: Scotland Misses Its Climate (scam) Target

By William Teach June 19, 2024 – 7:00 am

It’s strange how so many nations who were super thrilled to be part of the Paris climate accord and Do Something seem to be failing to Do Something

Scotland misses another climate change target

climate cowThe Scottish government has missed another of its key annual targets for reducing planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions.

Figures for 2022 show that emissions fell by 50% from its 1990 baseline.

This is slightly down on the previous year’s figures but well short of its target of a 53.8% reduction.

It means ministers have now missed nine of the past 13 annual benchmarks for tackling climate change.

This is likely to be the last time progress will be measured against annual targets with the Scottish government confirming in April that it will scrap all but the 2045 net zero goal.

Still, that 50% means energy has skyrocketed, along with the cost of goods like food. But, hey, if the Scottish people want to keep voting for this, that’s their problem, and they need to keep their complaints to themselves.

Agricultural emissions have fallen by 3.2% while residential emissions are down by a significant 16.3%.

The residential changes are largely down to higher gas prices and relatively mild temperatures during the start of the year.

Have fun.

42,000 Illegals Have Crossed Border Since Biden’s Executive Order

By William Teach June 19, 2024 – 6:45 am

Wasn’t it supposed to be shut down when there were that many?

42,000 migrants have crossed the border since Biden’s executive order — and thousands are still being released into the US

Some 42,000 migrants have illegally crossed the border from Mexico in the days since President Biden’s “crackdown” took effect, The Post can reveal.

Border Patrol sources say that most of the migrants are still being given court dates and released into the US — despite the Biden Administration’s claim that the new measure would stem the flow of illegal immigrants into border towns and major cities.

“Thousands are still released by the day,” a source said.

“They get their ICE appointment and they’re gone in the wind. You think they’re going to show up when they know they don’t have a legitimate claim? Of course not.”

These are the ones we know about. But, why are they being let in?

Biden’s order restricts migrants’ access to asylum when crossings average 2,500 per day and will only be overturned after crossings average 1,500 per day for a consecutive week.

In fairness, the numbers are way down from Biden’s normal, but, this is still too many. And, we know it’s all for show, and, whether Biden wins or loses, he’ll end the order the day after the election

More Cities Feel Strain as Migrants Move In Seeking Better Prospects

The bright orange fliers from the State of Utah were blunt.

“There is no room in shelters,” the advisory warns migrants contemplating travel to Utah. “No hotels for you.”

It continues: “Housing is hard to find and expensive. Food banks are at capacity.”

Confronted with a swelling number of migrants who have strained its resources, Utah in recent days has begun urging newcomers at the border and in the United States to “consider another state.”

Many moved to Utah and other states when sanctuary cities ran out of room, and the non-sanctuary cities and states do not want them. It’s an invasion.

UN Totally Concerned About Environmental Damage From War Hamas Started

By William Teach June 18, 2024 – 3:00 pm

The UN always forgets about the part where Hamas started the war, just like every other time when they’ve broken the ceasefire. Perhaps the United Nations, which itself designates Hamas a terrorist organization, shouldn’t have been propping them up

Gaza conflict has caused major environmental damage, UN says

st greta carThe conflict in Gaza has created unprecedented soil, water and air pollution in the region, destroying sanitation systems and leaving tons of debris from explosive devices, a United Nations report on the environmental impact of the war said on Tuesday.

The war between Israel and Hamas, the Islamist terrorist movement that controls the Gaza Strip, has swiftly reversed limited progress in improving the region’s water desalination and wastewater treatment facilities, restoring the Wadi Gaza coastal wetland, and investments in solar power installations, according to a preliminary assessment from the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).

I’m failing to see anything from the UN about how Hamas took water pipes and turned them into rockets

Explosive weapons have generated some 39 million tons of debris, the report said. Each square metre of the Gaza Strip is now littered with more than 107 kilograms (236 lbs) of debris. That is more than five times the debris generated during the battle for Mosul, Iraq, in 2017, the report said.

“All of this is deeply harming people’s health, food security and Gaza’s resilience,” said UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen.

Gaza’s environment was already suffering from recurring conflicts, rapid urban growth, and high population density, before the most recent conflict began on October 7.

Yeah, the one that Hamas started.

The UN assessment adds to concerns about the unfolding humanitarian crisis and the environmental costs of war, with Ukraine also recording widespread ecological damage over the past two years.

“Understanding the environmental impacts of war is a grand challenge of our time,” said Eoghan Darbyshire, a senior researcher at the UK-based nonprofit Conflict and Environment Observatory. “The impacts will not only be felt locally where the fighting is taking place, but may be displaced or even felt at the global scale via greenhouse gas emissions.”

Don’t start a war.

Republicans Surprised By Number Of Arrests For Pro-Hamas Vandals

By William Teach June 18, 2024 – 10:30 am

Why are they surprised? Pretty much everyone said this would happen

Top Republican demands answers after WH protests yield 0 arrests; questions ‘political sympathy’ with vandals

The top Republican on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee demanded answers from the Department of the Interior over its handling of violent protests that engulfed National Park Service property outside the White House last week.

Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., whose committee has oversight over the Interior Department, also questioned in a Thursday letter whether politics played a role in how the chaos concluded with a “disturbing” lack of arrests.

The letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, recounted assaults on U.S. Park Police and a National Park Service ranger at Lafayette Park – which lies just north of the White House – as thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators amassed to protest the administration.

“I am deeply troubled with last weekend’s incidents near the White House involving pro-terror, anti-Israel agitators,” Barrasso wrote to Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, saying the vandals inscribed “Long live Hamas” and other slogans on federal property.

Barrasso demanded Haaland account for the lack of arrests by describing how she is working with law enforcement to identify suspects, and he also called on the department to implement explicit measures to protect federal park rangers on-duty.

Zero arrests. People wearing Hamas headbands, calling for the death of Jews, assaulting federal employees, and vandalizing federal property. Why would Republicans think that the Biden regime would allow any to be arrested? They need the terrorist supporters to vote for Biden. They need the Islamic extremists who’ve been imported and never assimilated to vote for Biden. Certainly do not want to upset them by treating the demonstrators just like the J6 folks, right? Or even a simple arrest and prosecution.

Barrasso wrote to Haaland that her oversight of the NPS and USPP is paramount to federal land security and that the chaos that ensued in Lafayette Park is emblematic of the dangers rangers and other law enforcement face daily.

“I question whether political sympathy with the agitators influenced your department’s response to these acts of violence and vandalism. It is imperative that your department’s actions are guided by the principles of law and order, rather than political considerations,” said Barrasso.

Here’s the question: what are Republicans going to do about it? We’ve seen this for decades, where there’s a lot of smoke from them but no fire. Stop yapping and start doing something about it.

In his letter, Barrasso called for enhanced security measures at NPS properties like Lafayette Park and revisions to protocols for managing violent demonstrations.

If you’ll remember, they put up more fencing around the White House knowing there would be protests.

Utah Supreme Court To Hear Youts Climate Scam Suit

By William Teach June 18, 2024 – 7:15 am

I sure hope one of the questions asked is whether the youts have given up their own use of fossil fuels and made their lives carbon neutral

Utah Supreme Court agrees to hear teens’ climate change lawsuit

The Utah Supreme Court will hear a lawsuit brought by a group of teens challenging the state’s fossil fuel policies that they say harm their health and exacerbate climate change.

The state’s top court could revive a legal challenge that was dismissed in 2022 by a lower court judge. While he declared the teens “have a valid concern” about climate change and the impacts of the state’s fossil fuel policies, the judge dismissed their lawsuit, declaring that the issues fell within the realm of the legislative branch of government.

The teens appealed and the Court agreed to take up the case, setting arguments for Sept. 4. A notation in the docket indicates Associate Chief Justice John Pearce has recused himself from hearing the case. Prior to joining the Court, he was legal counsel for then-Governor Gary Herbert.

“We are hopeful that the Court will set this case back on the path towards trial, where it belongs. With each passing day that Utah’s statutory policy to maximize fossil fuel development remains in place, Utah’s government continues to increase the state’s dangerous air pollution and worsen the climate crisis, directly harming the health and safety of these brave young plaintiffs,” the teens’ attorney, Andrew Welle, said.

Will this turn out the way they hope? Probably not. But, anything can happen. Sadly, judges and opposing attorneys never seem to ask the questions they should. Are they practicing what they preach? Who’s funding this? Are the youts traveling around to take all their selfies and vids, eating meat, using a ton of energy, buying fast fashion?

Second Gentleman To Attend Pittsburgh Synagogue Memorial Groundbreaking

By William Teach June 18, 2024 – 7:00 am

I’m not sure what to think of this. On one hand, it’s great that someone who is a Jew is being sent by the Biden regime for the groundbreaking. On the other hand, the 2nd gentleman is essentially a nothingburger in terms of the federal government. They are not a part of the government. Will Kamala attend with him? Could Biden not show up? Of course, that would have its own sorts of embarrassments, plus, this would give his unhinged, Jew hating base apoplexy

Emhoff will speak at groundbreaking of the memorial for the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting victims

Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris and the first Jewish person to serve as the spouse of a nationally elected U.S. leader, will deliver remarks on Sunday at the groundbreaking of the memorial to victims of the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.

The White House announced that Emhoff, who has been among the most visible and outspoken Biden administration officials on combating antisemitism at home and abroad, would attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the new Tree of Life campus.

The synagogue in Pittsburgh’s Squirrel Hill neighborhood was home to the deadliest antisemitic attack in the United States, in which 11 worshipers were killed by a gunman driven by hatred of Jews. The space will include a new place of worship, a museum devoted to studying the hatred of Jews in the U.S. and a memorial to the victims.

The June 23 event will include community leaders, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, who will serve as the ceremony’s host.

Good on Doug, and, he has been vocal about defeating Jew hatred. The big question, beyond whether Kamala will be there, is will the Jew hating protesters show up, and show the normal Americans what the Democratic base is all about?

Climate Cult Super Upset That Trump Said Nuclear Weapons Are Worse Than Hotcoldwetdry

By William Teach June 17, 2024 – 9:34 pm

I mean, they aren’t upset enough to give up their own use of fossil fuels and make their lives carbon neutral. Just enough to foam at the mouth

Trump Reveals the Biggest Threat Facing the U.S.

Donald Trump has been caught downplaying the threat of climate change, insisting that sea levels will only rise “one eighth of an inch” over the next 400 years.

“That basically means you will have a little more beach front property,” he said. “I really think… nuclear weapons, which I think are the single biggest threat, not global warming.”

“[Biden] goes, it’s the greatest existential threat to our country—global warming. In the meantime, you get these maniacs with nuclear weapons that can do damage, which I won’t even talk to you about. It’s the greatest. There has never been anything like it. The power of weaponry today, it will be obliteration.”

The New Abnormal team was quick to call bullshit on his bogus climate claims.

“By the way, it’s 10 to 12 inches in the next 30 years,” The New Abnormal’s co-host Andy Levy said. “That’s from the NOAA’s website, and is I think the generally agreed upon figure, not an eighth or a quarter of an inch over 400 years. 10 to 12 inches over the next 30 years, which is truly catastrophic. He’s just stupid.”

And who gets fired and loses all accreditation when this doesn’t happen? It won’t happen. The 20th Century saw an increase of 7 inches, which is exactly average for the last 8,000 years, and incorporates Holocene cool periods. A couple inches. Maybe an inch this century. Sea rise is not accelerating. But, the climate cult media will not give real facts, real data, they just go with the scaremongering.

The use of nuclear weapons is certainly a big concern, what with Biden and his pals tempting Russia to use them, and doing nothing as Iran rushes to them. I’d say that radical Islam is actually the biggest danger for the world.

SCOTUS Rules Against Illegal Aliens Challenging Deportation Orders In Perpetuity

By William Teach June 17, 2024 – 10:30 am

Basically, if they fail to show for their court dates they can’t challenge it

Supreme Court Rules Against Migrants in Dispute Over Deportation Hearing Notices

illegal alien DemocratThe Supreme Court sided with the federal government on Friday in a dispute over what information immigration officials must provide migrants about their deportation hearings.

In a 5-to-4 decision, the majority upheld the current requirements, which can mean that basic information about a deportation hearing is missing.

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote the majority opinion, joined by four of the court’s other conservatives.

He cautioned that the decision “does not mean that the government is free of its obligation” to provide immigrants with notice of deportation hearings. Rather, he wrote, it blocked immigrants from seeking to challenge removal orders “in perpetuity based on arguments they could have raised in a hearing that they chose to skip.”

This has made illegal alien supporters, including those on the high court, very upset. Did the Liberal justices offer to take illegals into their own homes?

The dispute before the court stemmed from a group of cases brought by immigrants who challenged their deportations, claiming they never received proper notice of their court hearings. Although the circumstances of each case varied, in each instance the government failed to provide a single notice to appear with information about the time and place of the deportation hearing.

In each case, the migrant failed to show up for the hearing and was ordered deported. Each person challenged the deportation.

There was all sorts of whining from illegal aliens about non-notification, claiming there was no time and date. At least for those who showed up. And then you have all those who did not receive the order, because, let’s be honest, the government can’t find them. They disappear.

ICE struggles to track down migrants ‘paroled’ by DHS chief Mayorkas

More than 99% of illegal immigrants caught and released a year ago as part of a special border “parole” program are still at large, according to government data that signals how difficult it will be to unwind the millions of migrants who have gained a foothold under President Biden.

These migrants present a critical test case for the Biden administration. A federal judge has demanded unprecedented transparency in the Department of Homeland Security’s handling of 2,572.

ICE said it can confirm the deportation, departure or death of just 14 people, meaning 99.5% of all of the migrants caught and released under this parole program are thought to still be in the U.S. Only one of the migrants was being held at the time ICE reported to the court in late May.

That’s just a small portion of illegals, as we go back to the first article

Record numbers of migrants have been apprehended at the country’s southern border for the last three years. In the fiscal year that ended in September, 2.4 million were caught.

The government cannot keep track of 2,572 (possibly because the Biden regime has jammed up the works). How do they keep track of the 2.4 million caught in the last fiscal year alone and serve them with court dates?

Biden Prepping New Immigration Policy That Would Provide Amnesty to More Than a Million Migrants: Report

President Biden is preparing to announce a new plan aimed at protecting illegal immigrants from deportation and easing the process for obtaining work permits, so long as they have been in America for at least a decade and are married to an American citizen, according to a new report.

Oh. Good. More illegals.
