St. Greta Returns To Climate Hysteria, Gets Banned From Venice

By William Teach November 25, 2025 – 7:15 am

Seriously, what was the point? What did this accomplish, other than pissing off the people of Venice?

Greta Thunberg’s latest boneheaded climate stunt gets her banned from Venice after turning its Grand Canal green

They were dyeing for attention.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg and dozens of members of the radical Extinction Rebellion group earned a temporary ban from Venice after pouring dye into its iconic Grand Canal, turning its historic waterways bright green.

The vandalism, which risked permanent damage to the beloved UNESCO World Heritage site, was the environmental activist group’s latest stunt protesting climate change, specifically Italy’s opposition to including restrictions on fossil fuels in a deal struck at the COP30 summit in Brazil on Friday.

The group said it also dumped dye into lakes, canals, rivers and fountains in 10 cities around Italy, which it believes somehow will draw attention to what it calls “the massive effects of climate collapse,” the Washington Examiner reported.

After pouring the dye in Venice, the group hung banners reading “Stop Ecocide” from its famous Rialto Bridge spanning the canal and meandered their way flash-mob-style through tourist crowds decked out in red cloaks and veils and being generally creepy.

Italian officials, who slapped Thunberg and her crew of 35 with a 48-hour ban from the City of Canals and a meager $172 fine for their senseless antics, upbraided them for the “disrespectful act towards our city, its history and its fragility.”

Other than annoying people, this did nothing. Just a bunch of wackos. I wonder if Italy will revoke St. Greta’s visitor permit?

Dems Hold “Congressional Hearings” In Los Angeles On Immigration Or Something

By William Teach November 25, 2025 – 7:00 am

This reminds me of the “impeach Bush” basement hearings Democrats held back during the Bush 43 years: just complete mule fritters and not sanctioned

‘An American nightmare’: L.A. hosts first congressional hearing on effect of immigration raids

There was the U.S. citizen who said she no longer feels safe after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer slammed her to the ground in downtown Los Angeles and later accused her of assault — a case prosecutors dismissed soon after.

The Long Beach mayor, who said immigration agents have seized more than 50 residents off the city’s streets — including 11 in a single afternoon Thursday, among them a gardener tackled inside Polly’s Pies restaurant.

A Boyle Heights pastor who told of a mother who lost her young daughter after a failed organ transplant and was paralyzed over whether to cremate her or bury her, as she wanted, because she feared being deported and unable to visit her child’s grave.

During a congressional oversight hearing Monday in L.A., more than a dozen elected officials, experts and community members laid bare the impact of the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown. It was an exclusively Democrat event and no one spoke up in support of the raids.

So, it wasn’t actually an oversight hearing, because it was not held at the Capital and Democrats do not run the House. Just whining assed Democrats complaining about Los Federales enforcing federal law.

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass and the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Long Beach), announced last month that Congress was opening “a broad investigation” into arrests of U.S. citizens by ICE officers, as well as a separate probe into immigration raids overall.

Perhaps Bass should worried more about recovery from the Palisades fires, for which really no new homes have been built. And all Dems are trying to do is intimidate ICE officers to not do their jobs.

During the hearing, Garcia announced the launch of the Oversight Immigration Enforcement Dashboard, a tool intended to document verified incidents of possible misconduct and abuse during enforcement operations. As of Monday, there were already more than 250 documented incidents.

Will it document how many criminals ICE and CBP have arrested? How many American citizens have been harmed by illegals? Just remember, Democrats stand for foreigners illegally in the U.S., not for American citizens.

Comrade Mark Kelly Has Just Been Hit With Dept Of War Complaint

By William Teach November 24, 2025 – 2:20 pm

I thought I would do a new post rather than adding on to the earlier one regarding the wackos telling young, dumb, impressionable service members to not obey orders they FEEL are illegal

In full

The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, a thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures. This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality. Further official comments will be limited, to preserve the integrity of the proceedings.

The Department of War reminds all individuals that military retirees remain subject to the UCMJ for applicable offenses, and federal laws such as 18 U.S.C. § 2387 prohibit actions intended to interfere with the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces. Any violations will be addressed through appropriate legal channels.

All servicemembers are reminded that they have a legal obligation under the UCMJ to obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful. A servicemember’s personal philosophy does not justify or excuse the disobedience of an otherwise lawful order.

Obviously, someone made a complaint regard the stupid video, and Kelly should have known better. Perhaps checked the UCMJ before participating in the stupid video due to TDS and taking the side of drug runners.

Unsurprising: Slotkin Admits She Knows Of No Trump Illegal Orders

By William Teach November 24, 2025 – 10:30 am

So, basically, Slotkin and her Comrades made the video telling young, dumb service members to blow off the chain of command and refuse to follow orders, which would end up with the service members getting thrown in the stockade, at a minimum, while the Comrades see no penalities, was all a bunch of mule fritters

Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin Admits That Trump Has Not Issued Illegal Orders to U.S. Military

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) admitted on Sunday that to her knowledge she was “not aware” that President Donald Trump has issued an illegal order to U.S. Military service members.

During an interview on ABC’s This Week, host Martha Raddatz referenced the White House’s response to a video in which Democrats, such as Slotkin, encourage U.S. military troops to disobey orders. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt previously accused Democrats of suggesting that Trump “has given illegal orders, which he has not.”

When asked if Leavitt’s answer was “accurate,” Slotkin explained that Democrats put the statement out because they allegedly had a “sheer number” of troops and young officers question what they “should do.”

“Let’s talk right now. Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?” Raddatz asked.

“To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that are illegal — but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that are going on with these Caribbean strikes, and everything related to Venezuela,” Slotkin answered.

So, this is all about the Trump admin blowing up drug running boats from Venezuela? This is whom Democrats are caring about? They created all this furor to defend drug runners? Hell of a hill to die on.

In a previous post on Truth Social, Trump suggested that the Democrat lawmakers who encouraged U.S. troops to disobey his orders should be jailed.

“THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OKAY,” Trump wrote in his post on Saturday. “IT WASN’T, AND NEVER WILL BE! IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND SEDITION IS A MAJOR CRIME. THERE CAN BE NO OTHER INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY SAID!”

I suggest that if any service member gets in trouble for doing what the Comrades said to do should face the same penalties.

Cringe: Youts Learning About Future Jobs To Stop Climate Doom

By William Teach November 24, 2025 – 7:00 am

It’s bad enough the youts are being indoctrinated, and will probably get themselves into serious debt for degrees that will mostly likely keep them destitute, but, this gets rather cringe

Kids most affected by climate change explore jobs to fix it at the Future Green Leaders Summit

At the 2025 Future Green Leaders Summit, middle school students designed fire-resistant homes using AI, learned about jobs that support the climate and environment, and cheered on superheroes dressed as “Wind,” “Solar,” “Ethanol” and other energy sources as they squared off in a rap and dance battle.

The day-long event, held at San Bernardino’s Historic Enterprise Building on Wednesday, was organized by the Southern California Regional Energy Network, which is administered by Los Angeles County and paid for by California Public Utility ratepayers.

The approximately 500 students in attendance came from the San Bernardino and neighboring Rialto school districts that have Title 1 status, meaning the schools receive supplemental federal funding because they enroll a high percentage of pupils living in low-income households. In both districts, Latino, Black and Asian residents represent more than 80% of the population, according to the U.S. Census.

Organizers said the event was in part intended to confront a disconnect in the green economy. Although students from poor households and families of color are more vulnerable to the effects of rising global temperatures, pollution, and food and energy scarcity, people from their communities are less likely to be employed in green industries. Women are underrepresented too.

Yeah, pretty much because most of the non-white non-elite folks do not buy into the climate scam.

For instance, the U.S. solar workforce is 73% white and 70% male. The workforce overall is about 60% white and more than 50% female, according to the International Renewable Energy Council’s Solar Jobs Census.

It’s hard for children to envision themselves in green careers when they don’t see people who look like them in those jobs, organizers said.

It all seems to be cringy white knighting.

Rich Folks Very Concerned Immigration Raids Are Hitting Country Clubs And Upscale Shops

By William Teach November 24, 2025 – 6:45 am

Do Democrats just see illegals/fake asylum seekers as cheap labor?

And that is actually one of the least offensive

Border Patrol’s Charlotte sting reaches into country clubs, upscale shops

The gourmet pasta shop surrounded by million-dollar Colonials might not be the most obvious spot for clues about how hundreds of U.S. Border Patrol officers have swept across this city in recent days.

Pasta & Provisions, a longtime local favorite in the Myers Park neighborhood, is more popular among well-to-do bankers who populate the city’s soaring financial office buildings than with the working-class immigrants who flocked here to help build that skyline. There is little Spanish spoken outside the shop’s kitchen.

But as armed federal agents in unmarked SUVs poured into North Carolina’s largest city, the store was not immune from the Trump administration’s targeted immigration enforcement operation that launched Nov. 15. (snip)

The effect on George’s business is emblematic of how the Border Patrol operation has rippled across the lines of race and class that have long divided this city, spilling into tony neighborhoods where many residents gave little thought to how President Donald Trump’s deportation push would affect them.

It’s a real shame that the Elites won’t have all these folks to cook for them and wash the dishes

As authorities have searched for them, federal officers have raided a local country club, stopped by at least two hospitals and been spotted on highways and roads across Mecklenburg County, which includes Charlotte. (snip)

Pockets of the city’s Eastside, typically filled with fruit vendors and tamale stands, were noticeably empty. So were construction sites in the “wedge,” the triangle-shaped section of Charlotte with the highest concentration of White and affluent residents.

Huh. Affluent.

One woman told her children’s caregiver — who arrived in the United States from Mexico without authorization nearly three decades ago — to stay home as the enforcement operation began.

She should be arrested for employing an illegal. I bet she pays below market value.

The reach of federal operations into upscale neighborhoods was exemplified by reports that Border Patrol agents had entered the Myers Park Country Club, an invitation-only, century-old institution with opulent grounds that include an 18-hole golf course and an Olympic-size pool.

Did the WP really think this was a good line, that we need illegals so the affluent can be taken care of?

Oh, Well: Oil Producers Get A Win At COP30

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

Didn’t oil producers win when 50K+ took long, fossil fueled trips to Brazil? When they cut down a piece of the Amazon to build a road for fossil fueled vehicles? When they put a lot of elite attendees up on cruise ships which kept their diesel engines running?

So sad. From the link

Global climate negotiations ended on Saturday in Brazil with a watered-down resolution that makes no mention of fossil fuels, the main driver of global warming.

If they really believed that wouldn’t the Believers find a different way to hold the conference, instead of having all these folks travel to nice places around the world?

But the weak deal heightened fears among many countries, particularly vulnerable island states, that the world is politically unwilling or unable to address climate change and its cascade of accompanying catastrophes.

People are backing away from the cult, and, citizens are not voting to Do Stuff. Don’t these same people caterwaul about Democracy! all the time? Are they saying citizens should be forced to do what all these COP30 attendees won’t?

The mild resolution was also a rebuff of Brazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who had billed the event as a historic moment to make progress on climate action while showcasing the Amazon, often called the “lungs of the world” for the huge amount of planet-warning carbon dioxide the forest pulls out of the atmosphere.

In a speech that opened the talks, he called for negotiators to deliver a “road map” for a global transition away from fossil fuels. In the end, there was no such plan.

At talks two years ago in Dubai, the nations of the world already agreed on a “transition away” from fossil fuels by the middle of this century. Heeding President Lula’s suggestion, a group of countries — including Britain, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany and Kenya — had pushed in Belém for a detailed plan.

A simple acknowledgment of the Dubai deal is all they got. The deal says countries should implement their climate plans “taking into account the decisions” made in Dubai. Europeans said the language, while coded, was still a win.

At this point it just looks like a yearly company meeting where it’s more about hanging out, hobnobbing, eating on someone else’s dime, and enjoying the vacation. Next year it is in Turkey.

There was one win for vulnerable countries. The deal did bolster promises of funding to protect communities from the impacts of climate-fueled disasters. Small island nations in particular wanted more assurances that nations would triple adaptation finance, and the final agreement does that, calling for “efforts to at least triple adaptation finance by 2035.”

We’ve heard this song and dance before, yet, all those countries pledging money tend to short-change the funds. All in all, though, the NY Times is rather morose about the results, as were many other outlets, such as Politico

French environment minister Monique Barbut said her country is “not opposing the deal because there’s nothing particularly bad about it. It’s a fairly bland text. This text does not raise our overall ambition, but it does not undermine previous progress.”

Other leaders’ reactions were far more dour. Colombian President Gustavo Petro, for example, expressed disappointment that the final text did not include a proposal backed by European and Latin American countries to urge a faster shift away from coal, oil and natural gas.

“I do not accept that the COP30 declaration does not clearly state, as science does, that the cause of the climate crisis is the fossil fuels used by capital,” Petro wrote on X. “If that is not stated, everything else is hypocrisy.”

Hypocrisy is the 50K+ attending via fossil fuels. I’m confident Petro flew to Belem.
