Brandon Slaps Down Trump Over Drones Or Somethin

Biden Slaps Down Trump and Explains the Mystery Drones

President Joe Biden on Tuesday made his first public comments about recent reports of unexplained drone sightings in the northeast.

Asked by reporters what was behind the drones, Biden answered: “Nothing nefarious, apparently, but they’re checking it all out.” He added that authorities are “following this closely,” but so far there is “no sense of danger.”

Biden’s comments were the latest effort from his administration to reassure the public about the sightings. Lawmakers have called on the federal government to provide more answers, and conspiracy theories have spread online. (snip)

On Monday, President-elect Donald Trump nevertheless insisted at a press conference that “something strange is going on” and claimed government officials “don’t want to tell the people” what’s happening. “I think they’d be better off saying what it is,” Trump said. “Our military knows and our president knows, and for some reason they want to keep people in suspense.”

Do you see an explanation there?

“There’s a lot of drones authorized to be up there,” Biden told reporters Tuesday. “I think one started and they all got—everybody wanted to get in the deal.”

How about an explanation there? I’ve read a few other articles on this, and none have anything more. It’s been an ever-changing bob and weave for the explanations from Los Federales, and it’s all literally gaslighting. How come not one person or company has come forward to say “yeah, a bunch of those SUV size drones were our”? Certainly there would be official documentation filed with the FAA and the DOD for permission to fly in restricted airspace? Further, they’d be violating FAA regulations by flying over people’s homes. If there is no threat, why did airports and military bases shut down?

There would need to be documented waivers for those drones, so, why is it necessary for the federal government to check it out? The FAA would have written approval. Anyhow, don’t tell us what they aren’t, tell us exactly what they are. Whose they are. These are all the same Talking Points we got when the Chinese spy balloon flew over the entire country.

Anyhow, let’s knock down one conspiracy theory

No, drones aren’t searching N.J. for nuclear material. Latest conspiracy theory debunked.

The latest drone sighting conspiracy theory about a search for missing nuclear material, which got amplified by a New Jersey mayor Tuesday on Good Day New York, has quickly been debunked by federal and state officials.

“There is an alert that’s out right now that radioactive material in New Jersey has gone missing on Dec. 2. It was a shipment,” Belleville Mayor Michael Melham told the hosts on Fox’s flagship morning news program in the New York market. “This is just an example of what I think that we’re sniffing for.”

The mayor was referring to a Dec. 12 notice filed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission reporting a container from the Nazha Cancer Center in New Jersey with material being sent for disposal arrived at Port Newark with damage and missing its radioactive component.

But, the material was a 6 inch device with a small amount Germanium-68 used in CAT scan machines, and was found at a Fedex depot, repackaged, and then delivered on December 10th.

Or, is that all more of the government’s lying? Hmmm. Nah. Just a conspiracy theory.

Hotcold Take: NOAA Climate Cultists To Rename It “Air Quality”

By William Teach December 18, 2024 – 2:58 pm

Anxious scientists brace for Trump’s climate denialism: ‘We have a target on our backs’

climate doom yearly

Something new

As the world’s largest gathering of Earth and space scientists swarmed a Washington venue last week, the packed halls have been permeated by an air of anxiety and even dread over a new Donald Trump presidency that might worsen what has been a bruising few years for science.

The annual American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting drew a record 31,000 attendees this year for the unveiling of a slew of new research on everything from seismology to climate science to heliospheric physics, alongside a sprawling trade show and bouts of networking as scientists jostle to advance their work.

Did they take fossil fueled trips?

The prospect of an even more ideologically driven Trump administration slashing budgets and mass-firing federal staff has given America’s scientific community a sort of collective anxiety attack. “We all feel like we have a target on our backs,” said one National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientist, who added that agency staff are already seeking to “pivot” by replacing mentions of the climate crisis with more acceptable terms such as “air quality”.

“My god, it’s so depressing,” said another federal scientist about the incoming administration. A doctoral candidate, when asked about entering the workforce under Trump, simply puffed her cheeks and groaned. “If someone offered me a departmental position now, I’d jump,” said one Nasa researcher. “It’s hard, particularly for younger people. Hopefully we will survive it all.”

Nice try, cultists. Hypocritical cultists. They’re like people at Jonestown trying to cajole others into drinking the kool aid while they themselves don’t.

Some researchers think scientists should adapt to this hyper-partisan environment by sticking to unadorned facts, rather than anything that could be seen as campaigning. “We have been come to be seen as just another partisan lobbying group,” said Ken Caldeira, a climate scientist.

You are. As Jo writes “One day most scientists will say “we always knew it was overdone”. But right now, brave scientists are sticking to their beliefs … playing the victim card and adopting new advertising to keep their funding.”

Tennessee Lawmaker Introduces Bill To Ship Illegals/Migrants To Sanctuary Cities

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

If they commit minor crimes they will be shown the door

Tenn. bill aims to send migrants with a minor charge to sanctuary cities instead deporting

A Tennessee state lawmaker wants law enforcement to send migrants accused of minor crimes to sanctuary cities instead of deporting them.

He also wants to make sure all agencies report migrants to immigration.

Representative Todd Warner filed the bill ahead of the legislative session.

He told FOX 17 News sending migrants to a sanctuary city could cost less for Tennessee than deporting them to another country. (snip)

Violent criminals, he said, would be subject to the judicial system and deported.

“This is for victimless crimes. This is not for someone that has committed a terrible crime,” said Warner.

That’s a good idea. Governor Bill Lee is a Republican, and could literally take any illegal/migrant and ship them away from Tennessee, but, this makes sure that it happens. And Bill is ready to cooperate with Trump

Tennessee governor appears ready to mobilize National Guard, state officers for deportation

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee is set to use state personnel, likely National Guard troops and highway patrol officers, to back President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to deport millions of immigrants when he takes office in January 2025.

The Republican governor issued a statement on the social media platform X Monday evening saying, “I have asked key state agencies to begin making preparations & stand ready on Day 1 to support President Trump’s efforts to secure our Nation’s borders & keep communities safe.”

The statement marked the governor’s first confirmation that he is willing to use Tennessee personnel, which could include troops and state officers, to remove undocumented immigrants as part of a national effort by Trump to deport millions of people.

It’s a whole lot easier when you are shipping the criminals to sanctuary cities first. Reports show that there are around 7.9 million illegals currently living in sanctuary cities.

Watermelon War: Climate Wackos Go After Gavin Newsom

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

Seriously, Newsom has been a pretty good ally for the Cult of Climastrology, but, there are plenty of different sects within, some way more extreme than others

Environmental group launches six-figure battleground state ad buy against Newsom’s ‘climate leadership’

An environmental group is calling out Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s climate leadership in a six-figure battleground state ad buy which claims his policies in California have “significantly undermined climate progress.”

While running for governor in 2018, Newsom said he would shut down the Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility in California – the location of the largest methane leak in U.S. history. “I’m fully committed to doing that,” Newsom told a reporter when asked if he would shut down the facility. “The question is how quickly can we do that, but my commitment is to make that happen. We need to be more aggressive than we have been.”

Newsom added that he was “unequivocally” committed to shutting it down, but environmental groups are calling out the governor after allowing the facility to remain open six years later.

Food & Water Action, the political and lobbying arm of Food & Water Watch advocating against climate change, announced on Monday a $100,000 ad buy against Newsom across four battleground states – Nevada, South Carolina, New Hampshire and Michigan.

Since Newsom hasn’t shut down a legally operating private company they are going after him, despite all the other climate crazy he’s done over his years as governor.

However, in a statement shared with Fox News Digital, Daniel Villaseñor, spokesperson for Newsom, said that “the Governor’s energy policy is ambitious, not reckless.”

“We are committed to safely closing Aliso Canyon without harming working families with skyrocketing utility bills,” the spokesperson said. “No governor has done more to accelerate our transition to clean and renewable energy, but it would be irresponsible to close Aliso Canyon before demand for natural gas declines. That’s a recipe for precisely the same price spikes we’ve seen in the gasoline market.”

Villaseñor added that Newsom “wants to see Aliso Canyon phased out, but not at the cost of enormous price increases for working families and our ability to keep the lights on.” The California Public Utilities Commission is planning to meet on Dec. 19 to discuss the future of the facility.

Doing Something is all fun and games until it skyrockets the cost of living….well, more than has already happened.

Report: All Those Drones Are Spying For China

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

Real? It’s certainly not out of the question, right?

‘Spy drones’ from China are likely cause of unexplained aircraft wreaking havoc over US, House foreign affairs chair says in bombshell claim

House Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Michael McCaul said Tuesday that he believes that some unidentified drones spotted above New Jersey and New York are “spy drones” from China — after Biden administration officials insisted many of the aircraft are innocent commercial aircraft.

“We want answers but the response I’m getting is we don’t know whose drones these are,” McCaul (R-Texas) told reporters before executive-branch officials offered a classified briefing to members of the House intelligence committee.

“I was with the NASA administrator, Bill Nelson, he said that these drones have been reported over military sites, military bases. I would not think those are friendly. I would think those are adversarial,” McCaul said.

“We need to identify who is behind these drones,” he said. “My judgment based on my experience is that those that are over our military sites are adversarial and most likely are coming from the People’s Republic of China.”

“I believe they’re spy drones and the PRC and communist China is very good at this stuff. We know they bought land around military bases. This would be very consistent with their policy over the past couple years,” McCaul added.

Of course, I’d like to see some evidence on this, but, would this be so hard to believe? The Biden-Harris admin let a Chinese spy balloon fly across the entire U.S., surveilling national security site, till finally blowing it up way off the east coast.

Most of the 5K drone reports turned out to be planes, hobbyists and stars, feds say

The FBI has yet to uncover anything alarming or abnormal in its ongoing investigation into more than 5,000 reported sightings of drones in New Jersey and other states over the last month, the bureau said Monday.

The 5,000 tips generated around 100 leads for investigators, the FBI said in a rare joint statement with the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Defense.

The rest of the reports were ruled out by investigators, who have determined the sightings were mostly lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, law enforcement drones, airplanes and helicopters.

Some were also stars people mistook for drones.

Right, right, people were simply mistaking slow moving/stationary drones for fast moving airplanes. And people do not know what stars are. I wish I could find the link, I might have heard it on the radio, where the feds were saying that people in Central NJ aren’t too familiar with all those airplanes, and some NJ Congressman or Assemblyman mentioned that there are three international airports in the NYC area, one in Philly, plus smaller ones in Trenton and Atlantic city, and lots of small airports. Not too mention all the traffic coming north and southbound. It’s really patronizing.

Update: found the link

During an interview with ABC News on Monday, New Jersey Assembly Speaker Craig J. Coughlin (D) reacted to suggestions that the uptick in reported drone sightings in the state is due to people not being familiar with air traffic by stating that, in the part of New Jersey he lives in, “We’re really used to air traffic over our heads” due to the proximity to busy airports and “there is something significantly different” and “part of it is, we’re hearing from people in parts of the state that routinely don’t have that same kind of air traffic in the northwest part of the state and the southern parts of the state.”

Coughlin said, “I heard your colleague talking about how we’re not — we may not be used to things in the air. The truth of the matter is, I live in the central part of the state, and it’s — I live not far from Newark Airport and between Newark and Kennedy and JFK, three of the busiest airports in the world. We’re really used to air traffic over our heads. And so, it hasn’t — there is something significantly different that is causing people to be — part of it is, we’re hearing from people in parts of the state that routinely don’t have that same kind of air traffic in the northwest part of the state and the southern parts of the state. So, it’s all over.”

Who flies there expensive personal drone at night, and, why has the amount of drones suddenly dropped?

Stupid: People Claiming They Got Chlamydia From Gym Machines

By William Teach December 17, 2024 – 2:06 pm

This is one of the dumbest things I’ve read this week

Would you like to know the answer?

A leading doctor has weighed in on viral social media claims that say that it’s possible to get chlamydia from touching gym equipment.

The rumor began with a TikToker who claimed he contracted the STI at the gym after wiping his eye with a towel that he had placed on a bench.

User @grinny45 said he had to visit his doctor after getting what he thought was “pink eye” also known as conjunctivitis, a minor infection of the eye.

But tests revealed it was actually chlamydia.

Confused, as he hadn’t been sexually active, the doctor asked if he worked out in a public gym.

“Chances are someone has sweated on the seat you put your gym towel [on], wiped your face, and [got] pink eye,” his doctor apparently told him.

Yeah, really, most likely he was simply making up a story, because doctors do, in fact, know better

In another video, user @alaskaaayoung77 blamed this on the phenomenon of women going commando in the gym.

Others then responded and shared clips of themselves excessively wiping down gym equipment, in fear of getting “eye chlamydia.”

Alaskaaa sounds fun, if you can take her stupid video, sitting in her car with way too much makeup on

Now, Dr. Zac Turner, a leading biomedical scientist and doctor from Sydney, has offered his medical verdict.

Can you get chlamydia from gym equipment?

Short answer? No.

“Chlamydia is not the ghost of sweaty treadmills past, waiting to haunt your reproductive health,” according to Zac.

You can get a lot of other things at the gym, so, wipe the benches and equipment down when you’re done using it. Wash your hands. I wash them after using the machines, and then after using a treadmill or stationary bike. I’m a bit zealous after working in wireless years ago and seeing the condition of people’s phones. I avoid touching the benches that much. Oh, and I don’t have unprotected sex with shady people then blame the resulting STD on being at the gym. Which we all know is what really happened. You get chlamydia from sexual activity, oral, anal, and vaginal. That’s it. You know the people making these claims have friends who know exactly what happened, probably involving alcohol and a hookup.

I do live that the NY Post uses a photo of a woman in essentially a thong working out. Good way to get other infections.

NJ Governor Wants All You Peasants To Chill Out Over Drones

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

Don’t you peasants understand that your rulers in Government know better than you?

N.J. needs to ‘calm down’ about drones, Gov. Murphy says. Sightings are down.

Gov. Phil Murphy was asked Monday what message he had for people in New Jersey who have been staring up at the night sky anxiously looking for flying lights, worried about a strange wave of reported drone sightings in recent weeks.

“First of all, I’d say calm down,” Murphy said during a news conference at the Statehouse in Trenton. “There’s no evidence of anything nefarious here. We never say never, but … take a breath.”

Murphy also said drone sighting reports in the Garden State have been “down meaningfully” in recent days — to just 12 on Saturday night and one on Sunday night. That’s down from 49 last Sunday.

How do people calm down when there is zero explanation as to what the drones were doing and who’s they were? Does Murphy now know something that he is not saying to We The People? The people do have a right to know, so, no, they do not need to chill out, they need answers, not patronizing placation.

Murphy said he understands everyone’s concerns. For days, officials — including the governor — said they didn’t believe residents were in danger, though they didn’t know exactly what the objects were or where they came from. That caused a combination of fear, guessing, and frustration among residents and local officials — as well as several conspiracy theories.

How would they know that the people weren’t in danger when they didn’t know anything about the drones?

“I can’t walk out that door and have somebody not stop me and say, ‘Tell me what’s going on with the drones,’” the governor said. “And I get that completely. It’s unnerving and it’s really when life is not a math problem with X plus Y equals Z where there’s a hard and fast answer.”

“People rightfully get uncomfortable, a little bit anxious. I just wish elected officials were calm influences in the absence of more knowledge.”

Asked if this is all the result of mass hysteria and inflated sighting numbers, Murphy said: “I hesitate to use mass hysteria because I think the anxiety is legitimate.”

Yes, it is, so, get some answers, sparky.

Those comments stood in contrast to ones made Monday by President-elect Donald Trump, who was asked about drones during his own news conference at his Mar-A-Lago estate in Florida around the same time as Murphy’s.

Trump, a Republican who takes office next month, said he believes “the government knows what is happening” but “for some reason, they don’t want to comment.”

This would be the same government that can figure out which grandmas wandered peacefully through the Congressional building on J6 and hunted down and arrested them from blurry photos.

Union Of Concerned Scientists Super Excited To Push Climate (scam) Litigation In 2025

By William Teach December 17, 2024 – 7:00 am

Not only have they given up on changing their own lives to match their stated cult beliefs they’ve abandoned attempting to sway people with actual science in favor of forcing Other People to comply with cult dogma

Looking Ahead to Climate Litigation in 2025: Progress, Challenges, and Opportunities

As the days grow shorter and I prepare for the holiday season, it’s a fitting moment to reflect on the state of climate litigation—a field that continues to evolve as both a tool for accountability and an arena for climate action. In the past year, we’ve seen significant victories that inspire hope, like the Swiss KlimaSeniorinnen case, which called for an improved government climate action plan; Held v. Montana, where young plaintiffs won the first U.S. trial court ruling affirming a constitutional right to a safe climate; and in Hawaii, which settled a landmark transportation-related case that will fund critical efforts to decarbonize its transit system. These victories illustrate the power of courts to advance meaningful progress in climate governance and highlight the growing importance of science and scientists in providing the evidence needed to inform these legal decisions.

Yet, progress often feels frustratingly slow. In the U.S., cases challenging fossil fuel companies for decades of climate disinformation remain stalled, tied up by the defendants in procedural wrangling that prevents them from being heard on their merits, delaying justice for affected communities. It’s a familiar frustration: will 2025 finally be the year these cases move forward?

While I’ve learned not to make bold predictions on this front, I remain cautiously optimistic. In fact, last week the U.S. Department of Justice weighed in on this with two key Supreme Court briefs supporting state-level climate lawsuits. In both cases, the DOJ sided with local governments, arguing that their claims against fossil fuel companies for misleading the public about climate harms should proceed under state law. These briefs underscore a clear federal stance on the importance of preserving state-level legal avenues to address deceptive practices.

The cult has been pushing spreading awareness for 30+ years, and they’ve decided that if they cannot convince you to give up your money, freedom, and life choices to cult doctrine, and can only get some much done via the ballot box, well, they’ll just get courts to force this upon you. While most of these same scam scientists trot around in fossil fueled vehicles and take long fossil fueled flights to climate conferences.

Another defining feature of 2025 will be the continued rise of greenwashing lawsuits. These cases, which challenge companies for making deceptive claims about their climate commitments or sustainability efforts, are becoming a cornerstone of climate litigation. Over 140 such cases have been filed globally since 2016, with 47 new filings in 2023 alone.

As we’ve seen, many companies are simply abandoning climate pledges because the cult is shaking them down via what should be considered frivolous lawsuits

2025 holds immense promise, but it also demands care, creativity, and persistence. While we are facing great challenges in the U.S. and around the world, courts have shown they can play a transformative role in shaping our collective response to climate change. As we look to the year ahead, let us renew our resolve to leverage every available tool—legal, scientific, and political—to combat the greatest challenge of our time. Together, we can create the conditions for a more just, sustainable future.

That’s not what courts were meant for, especially when they are pushing cult doctrine.
