Your Fault: Scientists Have Detected TDS At Bottom Of Ocean

They are Very Alarmed

Scientists Have Detected Something Deeply Alarming at the Bottom of the Ocean

Something is stirring in the waters off the coast of Greenland, and it isn’t a submarine fleet sent by Donald Trump.

These people

According to reporting by the New Scientist, evidence is mounting that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation — a massive system of deep sea currents that acts like a conveyor belt for the world’s oceans known as AMOC — is starting to slow its gears. As it does, cold waters from the Greenland ice sheet are allowed to pool in the North-Atlantic, creating a “cold blob” that’s only getting colder as the rest of the world warms up.

This in turn has a major impact on jet streams, fueling extreme weather across the world. Should it collapse, the New Scientist notes that the AMOC could act as a climate tipping point, setting off a chain reaction resulting in much colder weather for some, and much drier weather for others by as early as 2040.

“The cold blob can disturb the atmospheric jet stream and storm activities, so it has implications for extreme weather events in North America and Europe,” Laifang Li, assistant professor of meteorology and atmospheric science at Penn State explained in a press release announcing an earlier study on the AMOC.

OK, we’ve touched on this many times, but, never with TDS to start it off. They really cannot help themselves.

Also, they have no directly observed data on what has happened in previous Holocene warm periods to see if this is unusual.

Insanity: UK Councils Ban The Flying Of British Flags For World Cup

I mean, it is the British national team playing, right?

Killjoy councils ban England flags during World Cup for ‘community cohesion’

A slew of councils have banned England flags from being hung on public property during the World Cup to protect “community cohesion”.

Bristol City Council (BCC), South Gloucestershire Council and Wiltshire Council’s warning comes ahead of the start of the tournament in North America this evening – and just days before England’s first match.

BCC leader Tony Dyer has urged residents to avoid hoisting St George’s Cross in any publicly-owned spaces.

He said: “What people cannot do is fly flags on lampposts or railings or any public property.

“Please do not attach anything to lampposts – it causes health and safety issues.”

What makes British elected’s pull this crap? And what you’re going to get is more Brits flying the flag in public, and the wacko police having to go jackboot in taking them down. All while the “immigrants” commit their crimes

The city council vowed to fast-track the removal of flags hung up in “sensitive locations” and said it would reassess its strategy on taking down those on council-owned properties.

It also urged Bristolians to report any instances of flags being adorned on public property to the authorities.

Mr Dyer said: “By celebrating responsibly and being mindful of others, we can ensure that Bristol remains welcoming, respectful and safe for everyone during the tournament.”

Those kinds of insane quotes continue through the article.

The warning to West Country residents comes after it emerged that immigration officers were told that wearing England badges during the World Cup could intimidate detained migrants.

Staff at detention centres across were warned in a Independent Monitoring Board report that wearing patriotic items may damage “professional standards”.

England is no longer allowed to be England.

Berkeley School System Looking To Cut Climate (scam) Program, Warmists Mad

Say, do these Warmists actually attend the schools?

Climate activists oppose cut to program in Berkeley schools

It’s been a tough few years for Berkeley youth and activists who see climate change as the central crisis of our age.

The Trump administration has rolled back environmental protections and ramped up subsidies for fossil fuels while blocking clean energy programs and scrubbing information about global warming from public websites. Though this agenda is unpopular, climate change is now near the bottom of issues voters prioritize. California Gov. Gavin Newsom has joined Democrats across the country in talking about climate change less, placing more of an emphasis on affordability and energy security.

I left in all the links, particularly about being near the bottom issues Americans care about, which is nothing unusual. And, of course, Orange Man Bad had to mentioned early

In Berkeley five years ago, the school district built one of the nation’s first climate literacy programs — aimed at ensuring all students graduate with an understanding of environmentalism. Now, amid a $10.4 million budget deficit, the Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD) is moving to cut the teaching position that leads the program. The district’s sustainability coordinator, who works to implement all of BUSD’s green goals, is also on the chopping block. (BUSD did not respond to requests for comment for this story.)

This is something we are starting to see more and more: economic realities starting to intrude on the pie in the sky spending from the climate cult, and a realization that the crazy spending cannot continue. The ironic part is if Democrats would just cut out all the waste, abuse, fraud, overspending, etc, they’d have the money for this stuff culty stuff. When 50% to 80% of allocations are, let’s say, improperly spent, well, you have a problem.

Community advocates have been rallying to keep climate and environmental initiatives intact, saying that the school district is walking away from its leadership on a crucial issue at a crucial time.

“It’s hard to see something you put a lot of work into and not know what the future of it is,” said Ellen McClure, the teacher who leads Berkeley’s climate literacy program and whose job is on the line. “Unfortunately, a lot of times these programs, when there are budget cuts, are just some of the first things looked at.”

Have these “advocates” considering pitching in their own money?

Bummer: Going After Illegals Causing Great Hardship To Mass. Economy

If you’ve designed your economy to not be able to run correctly without illegal aliens and fake asylum seekers (getting paid cheap wages), and foreigners on visas taking jobs from Americans, you’ve done something wrong and stupid

Federal immigration actions to negatively impact key swaths of Mass. economy

Increased immigration enforcement could mean prominent economic effects in the Massachusetts economy, according to a new report released June 4.

Construction, health care, life sciences and technology fields are most likely to bear the brunt of those impacts, stated the report by Boston Indicators, the research arm of the Boston Foundation, and the MassINC Policy Center.

“While the future may be uncertain, there’s nothing uncertain about the vital contributions immigrants make every single day,” said Lee Pelton, president and CEO of the Boston Foundation, at the event launching the report.

Immigration enforcement changes under President Donald Trump have been extensive. The federal administration has implemented new fees on certain visas, limited student visas and increased immigration enforcement through expanded actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Did no one sit back and say “hey, this might not be the best idea?”

As of 2024, nearly one-fifth of residents in Massachusetts are foreign born, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and immigrants make up almost a quarter of the state’s workforce.

Well, you know, mostly Democrats, with the help of some Squish Republicans, created a situation, not realizing that this would not last forever. Oh, well.

Washington Post Super Mad Over $14 Million Spent On Reflecting Pool

You will never hear me say that “$14 million is a nothingburger in light of our budget”, but, $10 million is actually a pretty good number for all that they did to the Reflecting Pool. But, Democracy Dies In Darkness, which never investigates where other spending goes, is Upset

From the link

Trump has put the cost of the work on the pool at $1.5 million to $2 million, but records show that at least $14.8 million worth of contracts have been awarded for the project. The president announced the work in April during an unrelated Oval Office appearance, saying he was inspired by complaints from a friend visiting from Germany who called the pool dark and disgusting.

The link itself is from a June 5th story, so, the WP is re-tweeting again and again because they are unhinged. A backyard pool can run between $50K-$100k, excluding decking and stuff. This is a wee bit bigger (though it’s only 30 inches deep) at almost a half mile long, up to 175 feet wide, and has 6.75 million gallons of water. Then having to try and keep it clean. Seriously, the Biden admin was figuring around $300 million (probably $60 million for actual work, the rest in waste and graft). Has the WP complained about the billions wasted from Biden’s EV charging station adventure? How much was graft, fraud, and waste in the whole Green New Deal, er, Inflation Reduction Act? Hell F*ck, how about the entire budget?

Critics have said Trump, a Republican, is spending too much time and attention on his pet projects and not enough on issues that voters care about, like the cost of living, in the run-up to the November elections. Others have said he wants the reflecting pool to look more like a swimming pool.

“Critics” who have TDS, upset that Trump is having people clean up our nation’s capitol. Seriously, you think he spends more time doing this? He has people who do this, and Los Federales have employees who are directed to do this.

Decline is a choice. We have a massive budget and all these employees and we cannot keep things clean and running in the nation’s seat of power? And they overspend when they do stuff. How much more could we do with the money?

Orange Man Bad: Somali World Cup Referee Denied Entry To U.S.

Trump is just a big meany

Somali Referee Says His World Cup Dream Is Dashed After U.S. Denies Entry

A referee from Somalia said on Tuesday that the biggest dream of his professional life had been shattered after the American authorities denied him permission to enter the United States to participate in the World Cup soccer tournament.

The referee, Omar Abdulkadir Artan, was one of 52 selected for this summer’s World Cup in North America. He was one of seven African referees to be chosen for the tournament and would have been the first Somali to referee a World Cup game.

Speaking for the first time since he was denied entry to the United States, Mr. Artan told The New York Times that officiating a World Cup game would have been a symbol for all Somalis of what they could achieve in spite of their country’s difficulties.

“I am very, very disappointed,” Mr. Artan said in a telephone interview from Istanbul, the city he had been flown to after he was refused entry. “I’m just simply a referee who’s trying to live his dream, the biggest dream of my life, to come to the World Cup.”

He flew into Miami, was interviewed by CBP, held for 11 hours, then sent packing

“I had the right papers and everything. I had the right visa,” Mr. Artan said, adding that he had also showed documentation from FIFA as well as photographs of his career of over a decade as a professional referee. Border officials also checked online material detailing Mr. Artan’s career, he said. He was named referee of the year in 2025 by the Confederation of African Football, which governs soccer in Africa.

The right papers! Trump mean!

Mr. Artan said, “I think that they have a problem with my country,” adding that he would return to the Somali capital, Mogadishu, on Wednesday. He said that he had been preparing for the World Cup for four years, taking courses with FIFA in Qatar and in the United Arab Emirates. (snip)

In December, President Trump singled out Somali immigrants, calling them “garbage” in a tirade at the White House and saying that Somalia was “not even a country.” Nonetheless, the Pentagon has been working with Somalia’s government to conduct scores of airstrikes against militant targets in the country.

See? Trump bad! And the NY Times, the Paper of Record, has multiple articles on this. But, so far, nothing about this

U.S. official: Somalia’s Omar Artan had suspected terror ties

A United States official said Tuesday night that Omar Artan, the Somalian soccer referee who was denied entry into the country ahead of the World Cup, was refused admission due to “association with suspected members of terror organizations.”

The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a matter that is covered by visa privacy laws.

Speaking earlier Tuesday, Andrew Giuliani, the executive director of the White House FIFA Task Force, said Artan was denied admittance for “very good reason” but declined to offer details.

Basically, like so many Somalis, he had ties to the Islamic terrorist groups, and probably supported them. ESPN left a tiny bit out

(Fox News) A Somali World Cup referee, who was denied entry into the U.S. days before the tournament kicked off in North America by Customs and Border Protection (CBP), was flagged for “derogatory” information, including “association with suspected members of terror organizations,” a Trump administration official told Fox News.

The flag made Omar Artan inadmissible for entry into the U.S.

If you’re getting “derogatory” information, that is definitely not good, and perhaps FIFA should have vetted him a wee bit better.

And TDS infused media outlets should do their jobs better. The Washington Post only mentions “vetting concerns” as he got a “hero’s welcome” returning home. And goes on a rant about players and officials being denied entry without really mentioning why.

Warmists Think ICJ Ruling On Climate (scam) Has Force Of Law

And, yet, most Warmists don’t practice what they preach

The UN climate process needs ambition – the law demands it

climate cowThe host government of last year’s COP30 summit, Brazil, argued that it should be an “implementation COP”. And if you talk regularly to influential participants in the UN process, you’d be surprised how many will tell you that in the current political climate, it’s all about implementing the pledges and targets governments have already made, rather than aiming to raise them.

This interpretation of ‘implementation’ is dangerously wrong. You can see that it is wrong by simply going back to the Paris Agreement. Article 4 states that Parties (countries) “shall prepare, communicate and maintain successive nationally determined contributions” (NDCs), and that each new NDC “will represent a progression” beyond the Party’s previous one and “reflect its highest possible ambition”.

In other words, regularly increasing ambition is a central element of implementing the Paris Agreement. Governments pledged to increase ambition regularly, and the community of people who care about climate change needs to hold them to that pledge. (snip)

Last year, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that 1.5°C is the primary limit of the Paris Agreement and constitutes a legally binding target. It clarified that states have obligations, not only under the UN climate convention, but under customary international law, human rights law and the Law of the Sea.

It also reaffirmed that governments’ NDCs must reflect their highest possible ambition. Last month, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution endorsing the ICJ ruling, with governments voting 141 for, and only eight against.

They can vote all they want, until their governments pass any of this into law it is not law. And, let’s remember, the Paris Climate Agreement was set up to be non-binding, because Obama knew there was zero change of it passing the US Senate. But, hey, Warmists, keep trotting this out there, and we can keep highlight how you refuse to give up your own use of fossil fuels.

Funding For ICE And Border Patrol Passes House Vote

This has given Democrats apoplexy

House Republicans approve $70bn bill for Trump’s immigration crackdown

House Republicans on Tuesday approved a $70bn bill funding through the duration of his term the agencies leading Donald Trump’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants, ending a months-long standoff with Democrats that at one point forced the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to shutter.

The Secure America Act passed in a 214-212 vote that was largely along party lines, with Kevin Kiley, an independent who aligns with the Republicans, joining all Democrats in voting no. The Senate approved the measure last week, which allocates $38bn to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), $26bn to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and $5bn more to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through September 2029. The legislation now awaits Trump’s signature.

“With today’s vote, House and Senate Republicans have officially ended the third Democrat government shutdown of this Congress,” Republican House speaker Mike Johnson said following the measure’s passage.

“All that Democrats have achieved by their shutdown is a useful reminder to the American people of their support for open borders and keeping criminal illegal immigrants in American communities – policies that have been soundly rejected by the American people over and over again. We hope this episode serves as a future reminder to Democrats that when they shut the government down, they will receive less than nothing in return.”

Now it’s a matter of making it to Trump’s desk

House Democrats unanimously opposed the bill, with Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader, saying it would “waste $70 billion in taxpayer money to give a blank check to ICE without any guardrails, any oversight, any accountability.”

Why can’t they just say they want open borders?

(NPR) But now ICE and Border Patrol will be funded without the changes Democrats were demanding, including requiring judicial warrants to enter homes and prohibiting officers from wearing masks. The package also lacks reforms with bipartisan support, such as requiring officers to wear body cameras.

Neither measure included funding for internal oversight offices that conduct investigations into detention center conditions; however, the April measure to fund all of the agency included $20 million for the DHS inspector general to specifically conduct oversight of detention facilities.

All this for nothing, Dems.
