Fans Who Made Girl Group Rich Upset They Act Like They’re Rich

I have no idea who this is, except I’m sure it involves a lot of autone in the studio and Memorex on stage

Girl group ignites backlash after recently surfaced photo unveils shocking activity: ‘This rubbed me the wrong way’

Enjoying the fruits of your labor is a perfectly natural reaction for anyone who has spent blood, sweat, and tears on a project. However, for critics of the girl group Katseye, seeing the musicians living it up aboard a private jet left a sour taste in their mouths.

In a social media post, Katseye member Manon Bannerman shared a picture of the group having fun on the luxury aircraft. It created quite a stir among one Reddit community as members pointed out the disparity of lifestyles between the pop stars and their fans.

“This is so pathetic. Fly commercial. This just shows the true gap between fans and these girls. These girls are so privileged it’s embarrassing for fans to even defend them,” the original poster wrote.

Privileged? They’re rich. And looking them up on Twitter you get exactly the kind of sexualizing themselves you’d expect.

“The average fan worldwide can barely even afford a commercial ticket or to attend one of their shows,” one person noted.

According to a report by the International Council on Clean Transportation, private jets are one of the leading causes of air pollution. Since they often carry a limited number of passengers, their fuel usage is a primary concern.

“Private jets are a surprisingly large source of air and climate pollution,” ICCT aviation fellow Daniel Sitompul said. “A typical private jet emits as many greenhouse gases each year as 177 passenger cars or nine heavy-duty highway trucks.”

And there it is. You didn’t think I’d be writing this unless it was climate scam related, did you?

FCC Says The Fairness Doctrine Should Be Instituted For Talk Shows

By William Teach January 23, 2026 – 10:30 am

I disagree with this, but, it is delicious in it’s irony

FCC says TV talk shows must offer equal time to political candidates

The Federal Communications Commission warned TV broadcasters Wednesday that daytime talk shows and late-night programs must give equal time to opposing political candidates.

The move addressed a genre of TV that President Trump has long argued is politically biased, leading to calls from the president to revoke broadcasters’ FCC licenses.

The announcement hinges on a decades-old federal law requiring any FCC-licensed broadcaster that lets a political candidate appear on its airwaves to also offer “equal opportunities” to all other candidates running for the same office. The law exempts “bona fide newscasts” and news interviews from the equal time rule.

In 2006, the FCC said the news exemption applied to an interview on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” meaning the late-night comedy show could feature then-California gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger on-air without also inviting his Democratic opponent.

But in a four-page notice on Wednesday, the FCC said it is “not the case” that all late-night and daytime entertainment shows are exempt. The regulator said it decides whether the exemption applies on a case-by-case basis, and it “has not been presented with any evidence” that interviews on those shows qualify for the news exemption.

The Fairness Doctrine itself was an FCC policy requiring broadcasters to present contrasting viewpoints on controversial issues of public importance, meaning they had to supply both sides of an issue. The rule was repealed in 1987 as it violated the 1st Amendment. Democrats seriously wanted to reinstate it during the late Clinton years, Bush 43 years, and Obama years, as a way to destroy Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and other Conservatives on the radio. Moonbats wanted to force them to give equal time to Democrats as a way of getting their narrative out, especially on radio, because Democrats tended not to do well. Remember the Air America failure? Of course, Fox actually had way more Democrats on shows than any other network did. Remember when it was Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes?

It’s also part of the “public values test”, in which a license would be determined if the station was serving the “public interest.” Dems ran this up the flagpole during the Obama years, again, as a way to get rid of Conservative stations, TV and radio.

Democratic FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez sharply criticized the FCC’s announcement, calling it “an escalation in this FCC’s ongoing campaign to censor and control speech.” She also argued the notice was “misleading” since the FCC hasn’t formally changed any of its rules, a process that typically involves a public comment period and a vote by the commissioners.

“Broadcasters should not feel pressured to water down, sanitize, or avoid critical coverage out of fear of regulatory retaliation,” Gomez said in a statement. “Broadcast stations have a constitutional right to carry newsworthy content, even when that content is critical of those in power. That does not change today, it will not change tomorrow, and it will not change simply because of this Administration’s desire to silence its critics.”

In other words, Democrats should feel free to complete an utter partisans for the Democratic Party, spewing their moonbattery, being 98% one sided.

Those comments drew bipartisan criticism, with Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas arguing Carr overstepped and could set a bad precedent the next time there’s a Democratic president.

“I gotta say, that’s right out of ‘Goodfellas.’ That’s right out of a mafioso coming into a bar, going, ‘nice bar you have here, it’d be a shame if something happened to it,'” Cruz said of Carr’s remarks on Kimmel, mimicking a mob boss’s accent.

I did not like this when Democrats pushed it and I’d be against it now. But, the precedent has been set, and it would be fun if Republicans would push this simply to troll Democrats. Even if Republicans said they were trolling the Democrats would still moonbat-out. Let’s not forget a big part of the Obama-era Net Neutrality was an attempt to control what is on the Internet to limit Conservative reach. If late night “talk” shows want to be all Dem, let them. If the networks want to lose tens of millions a year, that’s on them.

Here We Go: CNN Claims ‘Climate Change’ May Have Made Coming Winter Store More Likely

By William Teach January 23, 2026 – 7:15 am

This was certainly inevitable from the cult, right?

How this brutal winter storm is even possible with climate change – and maybe even more likely

The frigid temperatures, massive snow and deadly ice storm taking shape east of the Rockies might seem to conflict with life on a rapidly warming planet. But all of these things still happen, even with climate change, and some of them could be even more severe than before when the conditions are right. (big snip)

Other experts point to the winter storm and particularly the Arctic cold that will follow in its wake and note that climate change may itself be playing a role in instigating them. Jennifer Francis, a researcher at the Woodwell Climate Research Center who has studied changes in the polar vortex as the world warms, said she’s seeing evidence in this storm.

“Even though global warming is causing warmer winters overall, severe winter weather events are still possible — and perhaps even more likely — because warming is not the only consequence of human-caused climate change,” she said. “Other ingredients that set the stage for severe winter weather are on the rise, and many of them are in play this week.”

This is what a doomsday cult says. No matter the weather it gets blamed on Other People driving fossil fueled vehicles. Even massive winter storms.

Arctic Blast To Wallop N. America — Is Climate Change To Blame?

An unusually brutal winter storm is set to pummel more than 160 million Americans from Friday, as a stretched “polar vortex” sends a devastating blast of Arctic air, bringing heavy snows and freezing rains.

Winter Storm Fern is forecast to engulf an area well over half the length of the continental United States, stretching from Texas and the Great Plains region to the mid-Atlantic and northeastern states.

Scientists say the increasing frequency of such disruptions of the polar vortex may be linked to climate change, though the debate is not yet settled and natural variability also plays a role.

Nutters.

NY Times Caterwauls About Little Boy “Detained” By ICE

By William Teach January 23, 2026 – 7:00 am

All the news that is fed to them by hyper-left wingers

Detention of 5-Year-Old by Federal Agents Incenses Minneapolis

A 5-year-old boy wearing a Spider-Man backpack and an oversized hat was detained with his father by immigration authorities on Tuesday, one of four students who have been apprehended in a suburban Minneapolis school district during the past two weeks, school officials said.

The prekindergarten pupil, Liam Conejo Ramos, is pictured in a photo released by the school system as he stands next to a vehicle with an adult’s hand on his backpack. His father is not in sight. The image prompted outrage in the Twin Cities area, where many people have been angered since mid-December by the Trump administration’s surge in deportation operations.

“Why detain a 5-year-old?” Zena Stenvik, the superintendent of schools in Columbia Heights, Minn., asked at a news conference about the episode on Wednesday.

Exactly what happened on a snow-covered block in Columbia Heights during the arrest is in dispute. The small school district and the federal government have given conflicting accounts.

No, it’s really not, but, the Times will give it a shot

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement that when the agents sought to detain the father, he fled on foot and left Liam behind in the vehicle.

Ms. McLaughlin said that Mr. Conejo Arias was Ecuadorean. She did not suggest he had any criminal record, and he does not appear in any Minnesota criminal court records.

Yeah, that is what happened

The kid wasn’t detained or abducted or any of the other things the unhinged are saying: his father abandoned him when law enforcement came calling

School officials said that they had reviewed paperwork showing that Mr. Conejo Arias’s family has an active asylum case and no order of deportation. School officials accused immigration agents of making the child knock on the door of his home as “bait” to apprehend others, something that immigration officials denied.

Were the school officials there are at the home? If so, that’s weird. If so, why is there no video? Did the NY Times attempt to find out? Or, just take their word? This is the state of today’s “reporting”. The information was known at least half a day before the Times published this late Thursday. But, really, most of the Credentialed Media ran with it, which is rage baiting and could get people killed.

We’re In A New Era Of “Water Bankruptcy” Or Something

By William Teach January 22, 2026 – 3:52 pm

The doomsday cult just loves to create new types of doom

The world has entered a new era of ‘water bankruptcy’ with irreversible consequences

The world has entered “an era of global water bankruptcy” with irreversible consequences, according to a new United Nations report.

Do we need more than that? It’s the United Nations, who hold lots and lots of climate conferences a year, including the big one every November where 50K take fossil fueled trips to demand Everyone Else give up their use of fossil fuels and their Freedom

The global situation is so severe that terms like “water crisis” or “water stressed” fail to capture its magnitude, according to the report published Tuesday by the United Nations University and based on a study in the journal Water Resources.

“If you keep calling this situation a crisis, you’re implying that it’s temporary. It’s a shock. We can mitigate it,” said Kaveh Madani, director of the UN University’s Institute for Water, Environment and Health, and the report’s author.

With bankruptcy, while it’s still vital to fix and mitigate where possible, “you also need to adapt to a new reality… to new conditions that are more restrictive than before,” he told CNN.

And the UN would be happy to be the ones in charge of everyone’s water, you know.

The concept of water bankruptcy works like this: Nature provides income in the form of rain and snow, but the world is spending more than it receives — extracting from its rivers, lakes, wetlands and underground aquifers at a much faster rate than they are replenished, putting us in debt. Climate change-fueled heat and drought are compounding the problem, reducing available water.

Perhaps if everyone treated the water with respect and didn’t pollute it there would be no problem. Of course, the UN wants a problem, because they’re leaders in the climate cult and it allows them power.

Pro-Illegals Agitators Now Going After K-9s

By William Teach January 22, 2026 – 10:30 am

This is going too far

These people are horrible

(Fox News) Federal officials on Wednesday said a Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) K-9 was targeted in Minneapolis after an employee at a kennel wrote “ICE OUT” on the dog’s feed chart.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said anti-ICE agitators in Minneapolis are targeting CBP K-9s, including a K-9 named “Dina.”

“At the kennel where K-9 Dina was staying, it was discovered that an employee had written “ICE OUT” on her feed chart,” DHS wrote in a social media post. “THEY’RE EVEN GOING AFTER THE DOGS!”

They damned sure aren’t going to win hearts and minds targeting the dogs.

Meanwhile

(PBS) An appeals court on Wednesday suspended a decision that restricts immigration officers’ aggressive tactics in Minnesota, while Maine declined a request for more undercover license plates for U.S. Customs and Border Protection vehicles, citing “abuses of power” during the Trump administration’s crackdown.

The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was persuaded to freeze a judge’s ruling that bars officers from using tear gas and other steps against peaceful protesters while the administration pursues an appeal. Operation Metro Surge, an immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota’s Twin Cities, began in early December.

Well, that was expected, most of the orders by the wacko leftist judges get overturned on appeal, even if just for during the appeal, because the wackadoodle federal judges are always exceeding their power.

(ABC News) A federal judge refused Monday to temporarily block the Trump administration from enforcing a new policy requiring a week’s notice before members of Congress can visit immigration detention facilities.

U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb in Washington, D.C., concluded that the Department of Homeland Security didn’t violate an earlier court order when it reimposed a seven-day notice requirement for congressional oversight visits to Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities.

Cobb stressed that she wasn’t ruling on whether the new policy passes legal muster. Rather, she said, plaintiffs’ attorneys representing several Democratic members of Congress used the wrong “procedural vehicle” to challenge it. The judge also concluded that the Jan. 8 policy is a new agency action that isn’t subject to her prior order in the plaintiffs’ favor.

There’s long been a requirement for notice to visit ICE detainment facilities. This makes Democrats mad. They can’t just show up and disrupt operations for their photo-op. Strange how they don’t visit other jails holding Americans to see the conditions. Just for illegals.

Oh Noes: Climate Change May Have Ended The Tang Dynasty

By William Teach January 22, 2026 – 7:00 am

Is this your fault? Or those Other People driving fossil fueled vehicles

Climate Change May Have Led to the Demise of the Tang Dynasty

Climate change in recent years has fueled migration worldwide. Floods in Pakistan have forced millions from their homes, while the island nation of Kiribati’s entire existence is in doubt due to rising sea levels, according to NASA. A new study suggests that mass migration due to changing climates is not a new occurrence. The research explores the impact of droughts and floods in China between the years 800 and 907.

Writing in Communications Earth and Environment, a multinational research team detailed how these unusual weather patterns influenced political and social upheaval during this period, which was marked by the collapse of the previously dominant Tang dynasty.

This dynasty ruled Imperial China from 618 to 907 and achieved remarkable social and political organization. The era was marked by complex administrative systems and a “golden age” of cosmopolitan culture that supported arts such as woodblock printing, poetry, and painting. They also allowed diverse religious freedom.

The authors focused on the hydrology of the Huanghe River (Yellow River) during this period. They analyzed climate proxy data from sources such as tree rings. These rings can indicate climate conditions over huge time spans. Each annual ring can tell researchers whether the year was dry or rainy, as wet years help trees grow faster and produce thicker rings.

Regardless of which source determines the Dark Ages start and end, 900AD was in the Dark Ages, a period of cooling. Most think that ended about the year 1000, leading to the Medieval Warm Period. So, it wasn’t warming that caused the issue. Funny how nothing in the article mentions this.

Citizens in the region had increasingly shifted from cultivating millet to wheat and rice. Although the reasons for this change are unclear, it meant that climate-resistant millet was replaced by more vulnerable crops. Wheat and rice require more water to grow than millet. Drier periods would have exacerbated food shortages, said Kempf. This increased the risk of famines during droughts.

Drier due to cooling. And here we go

The dynasty eventually splintered into smaller kingdoms after the collapse. The study raises important points about how the weather shifts. In combination with social pressures, it can destabilize societies. As man-made climate change makes our weather more unpredictable, lessons from the past may help societies of today reckon with a less certain world.

Next ICE Target? Maine

By William Teach January 22, 2026 – 6:45 am

Well, this is unexpected

ICE launches immigration enforcement operation in Maine

Do these old white folks have nothing better to do?

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has launched a new operation in Maine, an expansion of a Trump administration campaign that has sparked tensions across the country.

Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a Wednesday statement that ICE “arrested illegal aliens convicted of aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and endangering the welfare of a child” during the first day of the initiative, dubbed “Operation Catch of the Day.”

She also called out Democratic Gov. Janet Mills, alleging that the governor “and her fellow sanctuary politicians in Maine have made it abundantly clear that they would rather stand with criminal illegal aliens than protect law-abiding American citizens.”

Mills said in a statement that “many people across Maine are fearful” in the wake of ICE launching its operation in the state.

If they are in the U.S. lawfully and with no conviction or charges they shouldn’t be fearful, right?

“If the Federal government has warrants, then it should show them. But if they are separating working mothers from young children, solely because they sought freedom here and have committed no crime, then the Federal government is only sowing intimidation and fear and fostering division and suspicion among neighbors – none of which is welcome,” she said.

Yeah, that’s not how it works Janet, dammit. I bet if a working mother cam and stole a bunch of your stuff you’d be all for prosecuting them. We are a nation of Law, not of Men. If laws mean nothing then why do we have them? And the law saws, shockingly, that anyone unlawfully present in the US gets deported.

Portland City Councilor Pious Ali said most of the people arrested by ICE on Tuesday were from Maine’s greater Portland area, including South Portland, Westbrook and Lewiston.

Local officials in the state have cautioned that the presence of federal officials in Maine could lead to heightened tensions, with Portland Mayor Mark Dion warning last week that “Our community is anxious and fearful regarding the understanding that ICE is planning to send agents to Portland and Lewiston next week.”

Oh, good, they’re going to protect murderers, rapists, and child abusers.

ICE Deputy Assistant Director Patricia Hyde told Fox News in Scarborough, Maine, on Tuesday that the operation was targeting approximately 1,400 individuals— including immigrants from Senegal, Somalia, Honduras, Guatemala and the Congo — and that authorities arrested more than 50 people during its first day.

The Biden admin kept good records on those they let in, and now the Trump admin can use those records to round them up.
