SEC Looks To End Climate Scam Reporting Rule

By William Teach May 30, 2026 – 7:15 am

They need to do it fast, but, do it right, so the wacko cultists can’t easily sue

SEC Moves to Repeal Rule That Requires Companies to Report Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Risk

In the latest action to undo Biden-era regulations on climate change, the Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday proposed repealing a rule that requires some public companies to report their greenhouse gas emissions and the risks they face from global warming.

The climate-disclosure rule has been on hold since last year, after the Republican-led commission said it was pausing its legal defense after legal challenges by business groups and Republican state attorneys general.

The SEC said in a statement that it is now moving to rescind the disclosure rules “in their entirety because they exceed the scope of the agency’s statutory authority.” The rules, finalized in 2024, “impose substantial costs on public companies and their shareholders that are not justified by the informational benefits they may provide to some investors,” the commission said.

Eliminating the rule will “avoid the practical effect of dictating corporate behavior” and ensure that agency rules will “be imposed only when the expected benefits justify the likely costs and burdens,” SEC Chairman Paul Atkins said in a statement.

Obviously, this is mean because it’s OK for a Democrat to get rid of all the Bad rules from a Republican, but, not OK in the reverse.

Environmental groups said the action would leave investors without data they need to accurately assess financial risks and other hazards related to climate change.

“The SEC’s mission is to protect investors and the public by ensuring they have access to material information,” said Kathy Fallon, director of land systems at the nonprofit Clean Air Task Force. “While imperfect, the rule was an important step toward giving investors consistent information about financially material climate risks, including the use of carbon offsets.”

Blah blah blah, all for a scam for which they don’t practice what they preach. What benefit is the Clean Air Task Force doing for commerce? They produce nothing.

Nary A Bad Word From The NY Times Against The Unhinged Delaney Hall “Protesters”

By William Teach May 30, 2026 – 7:00 am

I remember them have hissy fits for months about something else, then constantly bringing it up

Protesters Arrested at Immigration Detention Center as Tensions Rise

A group of demonstrators was arrested late Wednesday outside an immigration detention center in Newark after nearly a week of protests over living conditions at the facility that have been described as filthy and inhumane.

The day after the arrests, relatives of detainees at Delaney Hall and advocates for immigrants said that incarcerated migrants were being beaten and subjected to pepper spray following a hunger strike by some inmates.

For months, many detainees have complained to family members and elected officials about rotten food and inadequate medical care at Delaney Hall, which is overseen by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Democratic officials in New Jersey have focused on the issue and toured the facility, echoing the concerns raised by inmates. (snip)

In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, said that about 100 protesters had gathered around Delaney Hall late Wednesday and that some had thrown objects at federal agents. Six were arrested and accused of assaulting law enforcement officers.

The agency said that local police officials had not intervened. The Newark Department of Public Safety did not answer inquiries about the protests.

“Assaulting and obstructing ICE law enforcement is a crime and felony,” the Department of Homeland Security said. “Anyone who assaults law enforcement will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

So, absolutely no condemnation of the “demonstrators”?

Democrats yammered in apolexy for years over January 6th, where very few were hurt, most simply walked around. The DOJ hunted everyone there down and treated them like murderers (not ones who are illegal aliens, of course), holding them in solitary for years. Los Federales told everyone to narc their family members out. Yet, what is happening to these people who get violent outside federal buildings? Pretty much the same as all those rioting outside federal buildings during the George Floyd craziness. Nothing. Even when arrested left wing federal judges will let them go.

Also, where do these nutjobs find the time to spend all that time “protesting”? All in the name of illegal aliens, many who are murderers, rapists, and child abusers.

Charlotte Sets Aside $100K For Those Affected By Big Immigration Sting, Spends $0

By William Teach May 29, 2026 – 1:58 pm

I’m sure at least one NGO made out, though, right?

$100K set aside to help families affected by ‘Operation Charlotte’s Web,’ but where did the money go?

When federal immigration agents descended on Charlotte last November, the city set up a fund to help families in need.

They committed $100,000 to give out to people who were struggling with bills, rent and utilities because of Operation Charlotte’s Web.

WBTV has learned that money was never given out and was eventually moved to other housing initiatives in the city.

The City of Charlotte pledged $100,000 to households directly impacted by the operation.

Jamilah Espinosa, the Board Chair of the Latin American Coalition, tried to help people get the money they needed.

“We would receive families and then feed that information to Crisis Assistance, determine that these families were likely eligible or had been affected during that period of time, and then they were the lead agency that would screen,” Espinosa said.

In order to receive any money a person had to be a resident of Charlotte, a valid photo ID, and some other things. Oh, and a valid social security number, which an illegal wouldn’t have. Whoops!

So they shifted it “other housing initiatives”: can they verify that the full $100K was shifted?

The “No Kings” Moonbats Will Be At It Again On Trump’s Birthday

By William Teach May 29, 2026 – 10:30 am

Hey, you know what’s totally a sign of an authoritarian and a king? Allow nutjobs to hold protests against him/her multiple times

‘No Kings’ movement planning nationwide event on Trump 80th birthday

The “No Kings” movement announced a nationwide event set for June 14, which is President Trump’s 80th birthday.

“The next 250 starts with us. As America approaches its anniversary about what story we tell. We can let strongman politics and corruption define the moment,” the movement’s website states. “Or we can make the story of America about people coming together — across race, background, identity, belief, and community — to defend our rights and build a future rooted in people’s power.”

“On June 14, we rise up, we sing out, and we keep organizing.”

A 90-minute concert in New York City has been planned to headline the event. The “Rise Up, Sing Out” concert is set to take place at The Town Hall in midtown Manhattan and is scheduled to feature performances and appearances by singers Sasha Allen, Bette Midler, Patti Smith and Rufus Wainwright, along with actor Jane Fonda and liberal commentator Joy Reid.

Oh, good, they’ll have the woman who took secret letters from American POWs in Vietnam and gave them to the North Vietnamese army. The chick who protested against American in favor of the Communist North Vietnamese government.

The Committee for the First Amendment, a Hollywood-based advocacy group that Fonda restarted in October, is sponsoring the concert. The “No Kings” movement is also holding 18 watch parties in 11 different states for the event.

“Rise Up, Sing Out is about reclaiming patriotism as something inclusive, participatory, and rooted in care for one another — not power, pageantry, or one person’s spotlight,” the movement’s website adds.

Inclusive, eh? Just try engaging in some Wrongthink, stray from far left beliefs, and see how inclusive they are. Care for one another? Yeah, all those death threats against Trump and his people, along with the ones who vote for him

They want Trump voters to be rounded up, stuck in camps, killed.

Remember, most of these same people will not be celebrating our 250 Independence Day on July 4th. They will most likely be out protesting it and/or telling us how Evil the U.S. is. But, they won’t leave, of course.

UN Says Next 5 Years Will Smash Temperature Records Or Something

By William Teach May 29, 2026 – 7:15 am

I’m actually rather shocked that they would make this kind of prognostication for something so close

Think it’s hot now? The next five years will smash records, UN says

In the next five years, the Earth is overwhelmingly likely to surge again and again past the international climate threshold set as safe and shatter its hottest-year record along the way, according to new United Nations climate projections.

The World Meteorological Organization also forecasts an overheating Arctic that warms nearly 3 degrees Fahrenheit (1.66 degrees Celsius) between now and 2030 and a dangerous drought with potential wildfires for the Amazon, a crucial part of Earth’s natural defenses to lessen human-caused climate change. A hotter globe from the burning of coal, oil and gas means more extreme weather including floods, droughts and heat waves, scientists said.

The projections by the U.N. climate agency and the United Kingdom’s Meteorological Office said there’s a 75% chance that the average global temperature between 2026 and 2030 will be more than 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) higher compared to pre-industrial times. That threshold is the agreed-upon limit of warming — averaged over 20 years — set in 2015 by the Paris climate agreement. (snip)

There’s a 91% chance that at least one of the next five years will shoot past the 1.5 degree threshold and an 86% chance that one of those years will smash the record for Earth’s hottest year set in 2024, the WMO report said. The WMO projects each year between now and 2030 to be between 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.3 degrees Fahrenheit) and 1.9 degrees Celsius (3.4 degrees Fahrenheit) since the late 1800s.

Well, this sounds like a prognostication that should be revisited in at the end of 2030 to see if any of it comes to pass. Of course, the cultists will simply say that their policies kept it from happening.

Seattle Residents Put Up Barricades To Keep Gun Fire Out

By William Teach May 29, 2026 – 7:00 am

It’s not like all the criminals in Seattle can’t walk into the toney and high falutin neighborhoods, but, this is Liberal World. So, anyway, shot

Seattle neighborhood sets up barricades to deter gun violence, but roadblocks are an illegal barrier to first responders

After weeks of gunfire near their homes, some North Seattle residents have taken matters into their own hands — building and placing makeshift barricades in neighborhood streets they said have become susceptible to gun violence spilling off Aurora Avenue.

Residents near North 98th Street and Linden Avenue North spent part of the Memorial Day weekend piling dirt, gravel, logs and chunks of concrete into roadblocks that now partially block access to three residential streets near Aurora Ave.

Supporters of the barriers said they are desperate to stop shootings they believe are tied to prostitution-related activity along the Aurora corridor. Opponents argue the barricades could slow firefighters, medics and other emergency responders trying to reach homes in the area.

Nowhere in any of the stories have I read about the shots coming from people driving through. Also, they never seem to mention who is doing all the shooting and prostitution and such (illegals, perhaps?). Or that guns are heavily regulated in Dem run Washington and Seattle. But, hey, here’s a chaser after learning the barriers could be illegal

Seattle weighs city-installed barriers after residents block roads to deter shootings

A series of streets barricaded by neighbors to prevent gun violence outside their homes may remain blocked if Seattle city officials agree to install their own barriers, potentially resuming a stalled program that began in the summer of 2024.

Prostitution, gangs, and gun violence have been colliding along Seattle’s Aurora Avenue in a dangerous display of recurring shootings. Gun battles tied to turf wars have sent bullets down side streets, striking people’s homes and coming dangerously close to young children.

“I’ve had a gun pointed at my house. I’ve had bullets hit my fence. Two feet higher and it would have hit my kid’s window,” said Andrew Steelsmith, who lives near Aurora Avenue.

The barriers are meant to keep people from cruising at high speed through the neighborhoods after shootings and such. Suddenly the city is changing its mind. I wonder why? Too many high end voters in the area?

(Fox 13) As an immediate response, the Seattle Police Department is increasing late-night and early-morning emphasis patrols along Aurora Avenue. The city is also deploying its Gun Violence Reduction Unit to the area.

While the Mayor’s Office stated these immediate steps are underway, they acknowledged that these steps along are not enough and that “long-term public safety also means supporting community-led solutions, addressing chronic issues that contribute to violence, and making sure residents feel heard and supported. This work is ongoing, and the City remains committed to working alongside the community to improve safety and quality of life along Aurora.”

A bunch of Political Speak meaning they aren’t going to do anything, because it’s all the illegals and minorities causing all the problems in the People’s Republik Of Seattle. Do the people in the affected areas understand that what’s going on is a direct result of their votes for the far left wackos in the Seattle government? And we all know they will keep voting for this.

Democrats Pessimistic About Countries Doing Something To Stop Climate Doom

By William Teach May 28, 2026 – 3:13 pm

And, yet, few Democrats will do things in their own lives to make them carbon neutral. Go figure

Americans Are Increasingly Pessimistic About Avoiding the Worst Effects of Climate Change

A majority of Americans think climate change is a very big or moderately big problem for the country, including almost all Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents. But just one-quarter of adults now say international actors will do enough to avoid the worst effects of climate change – while a clear majority say the opposite. This growing pessimism is driven by Democrats.

So, not Americans, just the unhinged Dems?

Four years ago, during the Biden administration, Democrats were more closely split on whether the United States and other countries will do enough to avoid the worst impacts from climate change (46% said this will happen, 51% said it will not). Most Democrats now predict the U.S. and other countries will not do enough (69%).

This increasing pessimism comes at a time when the Trump administration has dramatically reshaped federal climate policy by taking actions such as withdrawing from international climate agreements, weakening limits on power plant emissions and weakening fuel efficiency standards.

And, yet, these same Democrats want lower gas prices and cheaper energy for their homes. Weird! Anyhow,

The question, though, is simply asking if countries will do enough to comply with the climate cult, not if they actually believe in athropogenic climate change. Personally, we as a country could do more to reduce the negative effects of land use, Urban Heat Island effect, and landfills, along with a few other localized effects.

Most Democrats and Democratic leaners (68%) say climate change is harming people in the U.S. a great deal or quite a bit. And about six-in-ten also say climate change is a very big problem facing the country today.

There should have been follow up questions, like “do you drive a fossil fueled vehicle? Do you take air flights? Do you eat meat?” among others

In contrast, only about two-in-ten Republicans and GOP leaners (22%) say climate change is harming people in the U.S. a great deal or quite a bit. And a majority see climate change as no more than a small problem.

But, still, this does not assign fault. Is warming a problem that can harm people? Yes. Is it mostly natural? Again, yes.

Anyhow, a lot of the rest of the questions go to assigning blame and responsibility to anyone but themselves. Go figure. 35 years of spreading awareness and still most Warmists refuse to practice what they preach.

Liberals Gone Wild: Portland City Council Votes To Ban Masks For ICE

By William Teach May 28, 2026 – 10:30 am

They were even warned their Quixote attempt is unconstitutional and pretty much a waste of time

Portland bans masks for federal agents, with a catch

The Portland City Council approved an ordinance Wednesday to ban masks and require clear identification for federal agents and other law enforcement officers, despite repeated warnings by top officials who said it is likely to be ruled unconstitutional.

Those who sounded the alarm included Portland Mayor Keith Wilson, Portland Councilor Steve Novick, who is an attorney, City Attorney Robert Taylor, and Portland Police Chief Bob Day, who this week became the latest to voice his concerns and disappointment over the plan in a memo he sent to city leaders.

Officials had stressed the proposal is likely to face the same fate as similar legislation in California. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in April found that states lack the authority to impose such rules on federal agents and blocked the California legislation as unconstitutional.

However, the warnings from officials didn’t persuade most Portland city councilors.

Well, most of them are unhinged wackos, so, of course they passed it 8-4

Kanal warned that the ordinance will not stop federal agents from wearing masks because local jurisdictions can’t compel them to remove them. Under the ordinance, Portland police will identify and verify the legitimacy of law enforcement officers and their actions in the city by asking them for identification and requesting that those with masks remove them to verify that their identification “matches a face free of any covering.”

Police officers would also verify that agents have judicial warrants for their activities within the city, and that their vehicles are appropriately marked. They may detain a person if “reasonable suspicion exists” that the person has committed or is about to commit a crime when there’s no proof of law enforcement authority.

And then the cops have to write big reports. Almost no Portland cop will actually do this, unless they have a real concern that the person(s) are fake cops, because, apparently, Portland has a big problem with fake cops and the Portland PD is good at identifying them. And any Portland cop would be opening a can of problems if they even tried.

But, um, will Portland also ban masks for the large amount of Antifa and other left wing wackos? Of course not.

“These are tools that we’re passing today. They don’t end the terror that the Trump administration has brought forward, but they give us tools in the fight,” she said. “Portland has never been a city that sits back and waits for others to act.”

Those tools, she said, will make sure that the city and its partners can fight against the “encroaching authoritarianism and overreach (of) federal law enforcement that we know we all want to push back against.”

Portland seems to be begging for a big anti-illegal alien operation, eh? Of course, the police high muckety-mucks will tell the officers to follow the order, since they are simpatico with the leftist city council
