Thousands Of Pro-Hamas Demonstrators Commit Violence, Damage Outside White House

By William Teach June 9, 2024 – 8:25 am

All the Washington Post, a D.C. outlet, could do was a tiny blurb on the side. Imagine pro-Trump folks did something similar

Thousands circle White House to demand Biden enforce Gaza ‘red line’

Is this America or Gaza?

Thousands of demonstrators surrounded the perimeter of the White House in a sea of ‘ fabric Saturday, saying they were drawing a red line for President Biden and calling for a cease-fire in Gaza.

On the same day that Gazan officials said at least 210 Palestinians were killed in a refugee camp, the demonstrators — many of whom had arrived on buses from more than two dozen cities — marched to chants of “Free Palestine!” while holding signs that said “Genocide is our red line” and “Israel bombs, your taxes pay.” While marching, they held a seemingly unending strip of red fabric around the entire perimeter.

No mention that they were killed as the IDF rescued 4 hostages, who were surrounded by human shields. Nor is there any mention of them saying “Globalize the intifada,” “There is only one solution, intifada revolution,” and “From the river to the sea, …”

For Mohammad, a leader in the Palestinian Youth Movement who addressed the demonstrators before the march, it’s personal.

His aunts and uncles are in Rafah, not far from where an Israeli strike killed dozens of people at a tent camp. His parents and other family are in North Gaza. He remembers the first call he got from his family members after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that ignited the deadly war.

Isn’t it great how the U.S. is allowing Islamic extremists with links to the Muslim Brotherhood into the country? Anyhow, there’s lots of paragraphs supporting the people, and no mention of the violence and graffit

The demonstration and march remained largely peaceful. A D.C. police spokesperson said the agency had not made any arrests, while the U.S. Park Police did not respond to an inquiry on arrests.

That’s it. There are some photos showing the graffiti and the pro-Hamas folks wearing Intifada keffiyehs (but, no mention as to what they means). Nor this

Anti-Israel agitators outside the White House threw objects at a National Park Service ranger, shouting “piggy, piggy!” at him, and defaced statues on Saturday in Washington, D.C. (snip)

Protesters also started defacing the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square next to the White House with red handprints to symbolize the “blood” on Biden’s hands. (snip)

Several additional barriers were put in place around the White House ahead of this weekend’s planned demonstration, where activists are calling for an end to U.S. support for Israel amid its war with Hamas militants.

Wait, fences work?

The White House protest, organized by Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER), is the most significant of Saturday’s D.C. demonstrations.

They’re still around? Strange that they only show up when it’s to protest to protect Islamists.

When does the FBI start searching for these insurrectionists, arrest them, keep them in jail with no bail, then try them and send them to prison for a few years like the J6 folks, most of who simply wandered around the Capitol Building and did no damage?

Surprise: Illegal Aliens Driving SCNY Hotel Costs To Record Highs

By William Teach June 8, 2024 – 10:30 am

I’m sure the same thing is happening in Boston, Chicago, Denver, and other places where illegals are being sent to

Migrant surge driving hotel prices to record highs in sanctuary city: report

The cost of a hotel room has hit a record high in New York City, in part due to the ongoing migrant crisis, which has squeezed the number of hotel rooms available for tourists.

The New York Times, citing data from CoStar, reported that the average daily rate for a hotel stay in NYC increased to $301.61 in 2023, up 8.5% from $277.92 in 2022.

More recently, in the first three months of 2024, the average stay was $230.79 a night, up from $216.38 in the same period last year.

The price hikes come amid a historic migrant crisis both at the southern border and in the Big Apple, where the city has seen nearly 200,000 migrants arrive since 2022, with tens of thousands remaining in the shelter system.

As part of that, about 135 of the 680 hotels have entered the program, with hotels being paid up to $185 a night, according to the Times. Many of those hotels are in popular parts of the city for tourists, including by the JFK International Airport or the Midtown Manhattan area.

Sanctuary City New York mayor Eric Adams is blaming this on tourism, but, come on, reality suggests it’s because hotel rooms are in shortage, along with the government giving hotels more money per room than those rooms would usually go for. In fairness, hotel room pricing has gone way up post-pandemic. I’ve looked at places in the mountains and Outer Banks and they’ve been ridiculous, even in the offseason. But, there is no doubt all these illegals are driving up hotel prices.

Meanwhile from the El Paso Times

Weird: Despite All The Climate (scam) Law, CO2 Is Surging

By William Teach June 8, 2024 – 7:15 am

You have all these laws, right? You have all these people around the world who say the Believe that Mankind is at fault. Yet

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are surging “faster than ever” to beyond anything humans ever experienced, officials say

electric vehicleOne of the major drivers of the exceptional heat building within Earth’s atmosphere has reached levels beyond anything humans have ever experienced, officials announced on Thursday. Carbon dioxide, the gas that accounts for the majority of global warming caused by human activities, is accumulating “faster than ever,” scientists from NOAA, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of California San Diego found.

“Over the past year, we’ve experienced the hottest year on record, the hottest ocean temperatures on record, and a seemingly endless string of heat waves, droughts, floods, wildfires and storms,” NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad said in a press release. “Now we are finding that atmospheric CO2 levels are increasing faster than ever.”

The researchers measured carbon dioxide, or CO2, levels at the Mauna Loa Atmospheric Baseline Observatory. They found that atmospheric levels of the gas hit a seasonal peak of just under 427 parts per million in May — an increase of 2.9 ppm since May 2023 and the fifth-largest annual growth in 50 years of data recording.

It also made official that the past two years saw the largest jump in the May peak — when CO2 levels are at their highest in the Northern Hemisphere. John Miller, a NOAA carbon cycle scientist, said that the jump likely stems from the continuous rampant burning of fossil fuels as well as El Niño conditions making the planet’s ability to absorb CO2 more difficult.

It’s all very convenient, eh? Do we have direct observations to compare with previous Holocene warm periods? Anyhow, if the Warmists are stating that this is mostly the fault of Mankind, especially the use of fossil fuels, why aren’t they all stopping their own use of fossil fuels? Why are they not making their own lives carbon neutral? That would solve this, right? Instead, they all seem to be using more and more fossil fuels and energy.

Juror Sent Cousin Message Saying Trump Was Convicted A Day Before Judgement

By William Teach June 8, 2024 – 7:00 am

Aren’t the jurors supposed to be in seclusion? This is the kind of thing that should lead to a mistrial

What should happen is that a mistrial is declared and a higher court jumps in to say “stop. This is insane. It would get crushed on appeal, and Merchan and Bragg are sanctioned.”

Judge in Trump hush money trial flags Facebook post claiming juror spoke about case

The judge who oversaw former President Donald Trump’s hush money criminal trial in New York made the parties aware Friday of a post to the court system’s Facebook page.

In the post, a user said, “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!”

Judge Juan Merchan said the comment, now labeled as one week old, responded to a routine court system notice, posted on May 29, 2024, regarding oral arguments in the Fourth Department of the Appellate Division unrelated to this proceeding.

The notification by the judge did not ask the parties to do anything but seemed intended to merely flag them.

Will this mean anything? Could it short-circuit the need for an appeal?

(Breitbart) Under New York law, “a defendant can move to vacate a verdict on the basis of juror misconduct if and only if he can prove, by a preponderance of the evidence,” that there was misconduct, and that the misconduct “created a substantial risk of prejudice,” according to NBC News.

Why did the juror have any access to the outside to start with? That seems misconduct within the court.

Virginia Will No Longer Follow California On EV Mandates

By William Teach June 7, 2024 – 3:00 pm

Good news for Virginians

https://x.com/GovernorVA/status/1798835366482547019

Governor Youngkin should be asking Gavin Newsom if he’s tooling around in an EV

(WUSA9) Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced the end of the California electric vehicle mandate in the Commonwealth. Youngkin has been pushing against the policy for years.

Virginia adopted new regulations in 2022 passed by the California Air Resources Board that would phase out new gas-powered vehicle sales by 2035 to achieve zero emissions, creating a new path for more electrical vehicles. California’s environmental model is much stricter than what’s established by the federal government.

“Once again, Virginia is declaring independence – this time from a misguided electric vehicle mandate imposed by unelected leaders nearly 3,000 miles away from the Commonwealth,” Youngkin said in a statement.

Under the California standards, zero-emission vehicles would have to make up at least 22% of new vehicle sales by the end of next year; if not, manufacturers must pay a penalty.

“Virginians deserve the freedom to choose which vehicles best fit the needs of their families and businesses,” Youngkin added.

Exactly. If you want an EV, get one. No one is stopping you. Have at it. This is America, so, you should get your choice. Government should not be forcing consumers into EVs. Heck, by 2035 they might be ready for prime time and give us the range and ease of quick charging like fossil fueled vehicles. Maybe not. Regardless, it should be our choice.

Meanwhile

Don’t forget, Joe flew to Normandy, then took a shorthaul flight on AF1 to Paris. Shorthaul flights are banned for the peasants in France. I bet Macron few to Normandy and then back to Paris.

Spain Asks To Join South Africa’s Court Case Against Israel

By William Teach June 7, 2024 – 10:30 am

There is one slight snag, though

Spain applies to join South Africa’s case at top UN court accusing Israel of genocide

Spain became on Thursday the first European country to ask a United Nations court for permission to join South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza.

South Africa filed its case with the International Court of Justice late last year. It alleged that Israel was breaching the genocide convention in its military assault that has laid waste to large swaths of Gaza.

The court has ordered Israel to immediately halt its military offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah but stopped short of ordering a cease-fire for the enclave. Israel has not complied and shows no sign of doing so.

“There should be no doubt that Spain will remain on the right side of history,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said after his foreign minister made the announcement.

Does Spain remember when they were conquered by the Muslims in the past? Because this is a way they can be conquered again, this time voluntarily, as we’ve seen in many other EU nations. Why are they even involved? South Africa is devolving quickly to a 3rd world nation, why follow them? Also, there could be a slight issue

Huh. Looks like Spaniards are willing to Jew hate but they do not want to take Palestinians in, the same as all the Arab states. But, they already made the mistake, so, it should be interesting when the Islamists invade Spain (and Ireland and Norway, which recognized Palestine) and destroy the country.
