Crumbling Pacifica Municipal Pier Is Part Of The Climate Wars Or Something

By William Teach June 17, 2026 – 7:15 am

The pier itself has been having issues for over a decade, been opened and closed, they’ve tried to repair it many times (man, if only California wasn’t wasting hundreds of billions of dollars on graft, waste, fraud, illegal aliens), but, now

El Niño turns crumbling California pier into climate battleground over what to save — and who pays

As a historic El Niño supercharges the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco experiences record high seasonal sea levels, the latest structural casualty of intense wave action is prompting Bay Area politicians to call for help from the state and federal governments.

They want to rebuild a concrete pier shut down this month after officials deemed it unsafe because of cracking from decades of pounding surf and storms.

As waves crashed against the derelict structure Monday morning, U.S. Rep. Sam Liccardo (D-San José) held a news conference and asked the federal government to follow through on $50 million in climate resilience funding promised by the Biden administration but terminated by the Trump administration in 2025.

See, it’s Trump’s fault!

The city of Pacifica had been on the shortlist for the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, managed through FEMA. California and 22 other states successfully sued to reinstate the program, but the funding has yet to be allocated.

Liccardo also asked for nearly $1 million in promised funds from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for a handrail project on the pier and an additional $9 million to protect coastal bluffs.

So, he asked for a lot of money that wouldn’t actually fix the pier. Oh, and there’s just one problem

The issues actually go back further. Why didn’t the State Of California fix it? Or the city of Pacifica, which owns it? The Biden admin had 4 years to do this. The money was allocated but never dispersed by the Biden admin.

Coastlines are already being buffeted and inundated by rising seas. With the closed-off Pacifica Municipal Pier in the background, local politicians and community members said they’re on the front lines and want to rebuild.

“Pacifica is ground zero for coastal resilience,” said state Sen. Josh Becker (D-Menlo Park), as he asked Gov. Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency and “help us fix this pier and help this community recover again.”

It’s California: the coast is always being buffeted, especially up north around the Bay area. Pacifica is just to the south of San Francisco, which shows .65 feet of sea rise per century. Average. A big nothingburger.

Anyhow, maybe California should fix their own shit. The ocean actually doesn’t look like much in Pacifica. And here’s the pier. Why is it that we in NC can fix our own piers after big storms such as Noreasters, tropical storms, and hurricanes without depending on Los Federales?

15 Antifa Wackos Federally Charged For Interfering With Federal Immigration Authorities

By William Teach June 17, 2026 – 7:00 am

Oh, and, um, haven’t the news wackos told us that Antifa didn’t exist?

Federal prosecutors charge 15 people with impeding agents during Minnesota immigration crackdown

Federal prosecutors have charged 15 people with impeding the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota, accusing them of conspiring against the federal government through a range of actions intended to block arrests and deportations.

During a news conference Tuesday, Minnesota U.S. Attorney Daniel N. Rosen said the defendants “violently opposed the enforcement of federal law” by setting up blockades around government buildings, throwing chunks of ice at federal vehicles and “stalking” agents as they moved through Minneapolis.

He said the defendants were part of two groups that he characterized as “antifa,” an umbrella term for a diffuse movement of militant left-wing activists. (snip)

The 15 people charged Tuesday were part of “Direct Action Minnesota,” a left-wing coalition of protest groups that trains its members in the “surveillance, operational planning and rapid mobilization against law enforcement,” Rosen said. (snip)

One of the defendants, Kyle Wagner, 37, was previously arrested on charges that he made online threats against ICE officers and their supporters. An attorney listed for Wagner in that case did not respond to a message seeking comment.

Each of the defendants was charged with conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer, which carries a maximum sentence of six years in prison. Three others faced additional charges, including interstate stalking, assault on a federal officer and destruction of government property.

Obviously, the wackos did not take this well

They all should have been arrested and charged.

PRC Gives Establishing A Climate (scam) Center Another Whirl

By William Teach June 16, 2026 – 2:54 pm

It just goes to show that the climate cult will never give up on any idea, and now over to the People’s Republik Of California

A new attempt to codify the California Center for Climate Change Education

climate cowCalifornia’s Assembly Bill 467 would, if enacted, codify the California Center for Climate Change at West Los Angeles College in the Los Angeles Community College District.

In 2022, Assembly Bill 1913 sought to establish the California Center for Climate Change with a $5 million appropriation, as NCSE previously reported. Although the bill died in committee, the center was nevertheless established in 2023, with the aid of a $5 million allocation in the 2022 state budget and a further $1.3 million of federal funding.

In 2024, Assembly Bill 3142 sought to include a reference to the center in the state’s education code as well as to allocate $1.5 million to establish the California Mobile Unit for Climate Change Education. The bill passed both houses of the legislature but then was vetoed by Governor Gavin Newsom (D), citing the cost, as NCSE previously reported.

I’m guessing there was no scam money coming the way of Gavin or his wife Jennifer

On June 9, 2026, however, the bill was completely revised by its author, Mike Fong (D-District 49), to codify the center, partly on the grounds that “[t]he people of the state, and people across the United States, overwhelmingly support teaching students about the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to global climate change.” No appropriations are proposed.

One would think this would all be unnecessary if people so overwhelmingly agree in the climate scam. That after 35 years of spreading awareness people would simply give up their money, freedom, and life choices to government. That they would just do all the stuff necessary to make their own carbon footprints zero.

Dems Having Meltdown Over Gavin Newsom And Wife Under Federal Investigation

By William Teach June 16, 2026 – 10:30 am

They are Upset

Whatever happened to “no one is above the law” when the Biden admin targeted Trump and all the people around him? Remember who Mar A Lago was raided, nuts in NY and Georgia went after Trump and all his people?

Newsom Says Trump’s Justice Department Is Investigating Him and His Wife

Federal agents have questioned friends and associates of Gov. Gavin Newsom of California and his wife, Mr. Newsom said on Monday in a video in which he accused President Trump of using the Justice Department to punish a political enemy.

The full scope of any investigation remains unclear. But Mr. Newsom’s aides say part of the federal investigation appears to focus on his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom. Former employees of the governor and people affiliated with his wife’s nonprofit groups are among those who have been questioned by agents, according to the governor’s office.

A person familiar with the matter confirmed that multiple federal investigations were underway related to the governor, including one looking at his wife’s finances. But the person disputed Mr. Newsom’s assertion that the investigations were politically motivated, and said they had been initiated by federal law enforcement officials in California, not launched by officials in Washington. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly. (big snip)

Mr. Newsom’s office said the investigation is a fresh attempt to smear him after the federal prosecution of his former chief of staff revealed no misconduct by the governor. The former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, pleaded guilty last month to three felonies in a sprawling corruption case.

When Ms. Williamson was indicted last year, her attorney said that federal agents first approached her during the Biden administration. She was working for Mr. Newsom at the time, and the agents asked her if she would cooperate in an investigation of the governor. She replied that she had no information to give them because she had never witnessed any criminal conduct by Mr. Newsom.

The actual investigation goes back either to early 2025 or even further in the late Biden admin as federal agents started investigating Gavin’s wife, and, him as a byproduct, for all the crazy connections between Jennifer’s companies and state money. There have been accusations for a long, long time about how shady it all looked. Remember how Gavin was going to give all those new parents diapers and the contract was going through a company for which Jennifer was linked?

And we have stuff like this

The Wall Street Journal notes that the investigation was started by federal law enforcement in California during Biden admin, not by political folks in Washington under Trump. The Washington Post says the same thing.

Here’s an interesting thing, though: at what point does this whole scam become criminal? The whole “govt gives money to NGOs who skim off a lot of money to sort of do the job and then some makes it back to politicians” thing has been normalized at the federal, state, county, and local levels. Govt contracts do not seem to dictate how much payment should be to NGOs (organizations, companies, individuals), or if they can even do the job, since most can’t, they just take a cut to go and hire other NGOs who can’t do the job but take a cut to hire others, till someone can finally do the job. This is how you end up with 20% of USAID money actually going to projects. At what point is this a criminal violation such as defrauding the government? Fraud? Other felonies?

What Democrats who defend this Business As Usual do not get is that if this whole pipeline of waste, graft, and abuse was ended there would be a lot more money to help people. If a company took $4 million to do a job feeding kids and spent $3.8 million on feeding the kids (company does need to get paid, right?) instead of $800,000 (20%), that would be a good thing, right?

Climate Cult Yutes Hold Art Exhibit “How Shall We Live”

By William Teach June 16, 2026 – 7:15 am

Their elders should be prosecuted and dumped on some un-populated Alaskan island with a survival bag and nothing else. All those teachers, politicians, news folks, their parents

‘How Shall We Live’ student climate change art exhibit opens at Dewey Hall

Sheffield — One hundred and eighty student artists from 10 Berkshire County high schools are featured in the exhibit “How Shall We Live,” on display at Dewey Hall through Friday, June 19.

The juried art show is a collaboration between the organizations Living the Change Berkshires, Cooler Communities, and the Clark Art Institute.

The exhibit was curated by Living the Change Berkshires member Anne Legêne and Cooler Communities member Uli Nagel.

Everyone in those groups should be prosecuted for enabling this insanity

“It’s amazing when you read and see what these kids are experiencing when you find out that they are facing a world with a climate crisis,” Legêne told The Berkshire Edge. “Art is the best way to let students express themselves about this crisis.”

“[Cooler Communities] is a climate education nonprofit organization that connects classrooms to climate solutions,” Nagel added. “This art show gives students an outlet for statements that are deeply wise at times and are very thoughtful. We want to inspire these students to action and keep the conversation going about climate change.”

They have ruined these children’s lives, making them so concerned with the SOON!!!!! doom they can barely operate. Us Gen X and earlier weren’t indoctrinated into Doom over global nuclear war, we were taught to persevere. Today’s kids are just, well, fucked in the head.

And yet the kiddies aren’t giving up their own use of petroleum and making their lives carbon neutral. Go figure. It’s always for Someone Else.

AP Super Concerned About All Those Generic AAPI Folks And Immigration

By William Teach June 16, 2026 – 7:00 am

No one really thinks liberals care about these people except to use them for their political purposes

How AAPI adults are being affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown, according to a new poll

Many Asian American and Pacific Islander adults have experienced or witnessed some degree of upheaval because of the Trump administration’s heightened immigration policies, a new AP-NORC/AAPI Data poll finds, while most say the U.S. is no longer the land of opportunity for immigrants.

A new poll released Monday from AAPI Data and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows about half of AAPI adults say they — or someone they know — have been detained or deported within the last year, started carrying proof of immigration status or U.S. citizenship, upended travel plans or significantly changed their routines because of immigration status.

The findings come after more than a year of immigration crackdowns. The poll indicates that the Trump administration’s aggressive approach, which has resulted in multiple clashes between protesters and enforcement officers and led to the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis earlier this year, may be changing the way some people in immigrant-heavy communities see the U.S. itself.

AAPI adults are one of the country’s fastest-growing demographic, and most AAPI adults in the U.S. were born outside the country. The survey found a majority of AAPI adults — about 6 in 10 — believe the U.S. used to be a great country for immigrants but is not anymore. Only about 3 in 10 AAPI adults say America is a great place for immigrants, while a few, 5%, say it was never a great place for immigrants.

If they’re here legally these generic people have nothing to worry about. If they aren’t, well, time to leave. And, really, if the legal ones are hanging with illegals, why? Come on, this is all just fear mongering by people who are upset that the laws of the United States are being enforced, and it makes it harder for Democrat areas to get these “immigrants” to vote.

Trump admin puts alleged ‘birth tourism’ scheme on notice as expert delivers warning to hospitals

The Trump administration is using visa enforcement to target “birth tourism,” an alleged scheme utilized by foreign nationals to obtain visitor visas for the primary purpose of giving birth in the U.S. and securing American citizenship for their children.

The Trump administration recently announced that it disrupted “a sophisticated birth tourism network” in West Africa involving more than 100 foreign nationals utilizing false documents and, what the State Department described as “fixers,” to get themselves visas to go to the United States to give birth so their children would be born on U.S. soil and treated as American citizens.

But that was just one of the networks the State Department indicated it had uncovered. The agency’s announcement said U.S. officials identified more than 400 suspected birth tourism cases emanating from Europe since 2024, and tied to at least six companies that helped coach applicants on what to say during their visa interview, arranged housing and set-up delivery plans.

“We shut it down, revoked these foreign nationals’ visas, and are coordinating with local authorities to systematically identify and cut off any similar operations,” the State Department said in its announcement. “A U.S. visa is a privilege, not a right. The State Department is taking action around the world to stop this abuse, dismantle birth tourism networks, and hold accountable those who try to scam our system.”

Your Fault: We’re Betraying The Yutes With Our Fossil Fuels Usage

By William Teach June 15, 2026 – 3:37 pm

OK, so, maybe we should make the yutes walk or bike everywhere? No fossil fueled busses, cars, SUVs, planes, etc

We are betraying our children with fossil fuel pollution

The national conversation about global climate change has gone through ups and downs over the last 75 years. Climate science entered politics in the 1950s and led to bipartisan support for action in the 1970s. But the issue became intensely partisan in the 1990s, when big oil companies aligned with Republicans.

Congress did virtually nothing about global warming until 2022, when it passed the country’s largest-ever investments in clean energy. But over the last 18 months, President Trump has blocked the investments, suppressed clean energy, and accelerated America’s fossil fuel production.

All those “investments” did was reward donors, friends, and NGOs with lots of slush money. And the lawmakers who bought stock ahead of time with foreknowledge.

Meantime, fossil-fuel pollution keeps accumulating in the atmosphere like a metastasizing cancer, causing a slow-growing fever that’s changing the planet’s metabolism. But over the decades, whether we paid attention or not, one thing has remained constant: Our failure to get global warming under control is the greatest betrayal that any generation has ever imposed on its children. We are letting oil oligarchs get rich by robbing our children’s future.

Hey, did William Becker, who’s been in government and is involved in lots of climate scam groups, ever consider that he could cajole all his Warmist pals to give up their own use of fossil fuels?

This is not the American way. With the industrial revolution, Western societies in general adopted the ethic that each generation should make life better for its children. We are not keeping that promise now.

Oh, please, complete bullshit.

A 2014 study found that economic elites and business interests dominate government policy, while “average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.” The government delivers what special interests want rather than what most Americans want.

And the elites are here to restrict the peasants from using fossil fuels while the Elites run around the world on private jets and in limos. F off. Stop using the kids for your doomsday cult business.

Surprise: Bill Maher, Who Has Raged Against Nazi Platner, Endorses Him

By William Teach June 15, 2026 – 10:30 am

Bill Maher attempts to act as a responsible Democrat, the type from the Bill Clinton era, but, at the end of the day he’s like all the rest: power is the only thing that matters

Bill Maher makes shocking recommendation in Maine Senate race after Graham Platner’s ‘scary behavior’

Comedian Bill Maher threw his weight behind Maine Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner, despite his “scary behavior,” arguing that flipping the Senate for Dems is more important than his Nazi tattoo or cheating scandal.

HBO’s “Real Time” host said that Democrats’ retaking the Senate in November would be a critical check on President Trump, and argued that America is rife with “a lot of broken, horribly educated, phone-addicted, sort of nutty people” anyway.

“Let’s get real about Graham Platner,” Maher said during his Friday show.

“The big story is the Democrats can likely take back the Senate in November if they win Maine. But their local candidate, official now up there, is after the primary this week, let’s just say, a guy who has a backstory that screams, ‘Don’t ask.’”

“I would still urge the folks in Maine to vote for him, for two reasons,” Maher explained after rattling through Platner’s string of scandals. “One, we need to restore balance in our government, and a Democratic Senate would help a lot with that.”

“And two, get used to it. America is a country filled with a lot of broken, horribly educated, phone-addicted, sort of nutty people. And as long as we live in a representative democracy, we are always electing our reflection in the mirror. I wish the tattoo was the scariest thing about Platner. It’s not. That would be his solution to a home invasion, which is to rape the home invader.”

And, yet, Maher still wants people in Maine to vote for Platner

“- said he’s a communist

– joined an app known to be used by predators to contact minors”

Dems are trying to play the “this was in the past” card, but, they went after Mitt Romney over a haircut in high school, saying it was relevant. All Democrats care about is power, and there’s virtually nothing that will disqualify someone if Democrats think they can win a seat. If this were a midterm where there was no chance of retaking the Senate, they might have let him go, but, not now. And Bill is the perfect example of a Democrat who acts and talks reasonable, but, truly isn’t.
