AP: You Can Totally Reduce Your Pet’s Carbon Footprint Or Something

Even most Warmists will probably agree to leave the pets out of cult business

Let’s look at the AP article

The whole “pets are family members” idea isn’t just a sweet sentiment. Data shows that pet owners are increasingly buying food that resembles their own diets.

The trend toward refrigerated, “fresh” or even “human-grade” pet food can come with a price beyond the pet food budget.

One of the most climate intensive decisions we make is whether to own a pet. It’s for the same reason that humans have a big impact: They eat every day. And most of them eat meat. The environmental impact of meat includes the land the animal lived on, the food it ate, the waste it generated and other factors.

“What else do pets do? We have to feed them. I think that that’s why it’s number one,” said Allison Reser, director of sustainability and innovation at the Pet Sustainability Coalition.

Cultists

The marketing of higher-quality pet food suggests that it’s healthier.

But there isn’t much evidence to suggest refrigerated, fresh or human-grade food leads to better pet health outcomes, according to Alison Manchester, assistant clinical sciences professor at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine.

“I think a lot of it is playing on marketing and treating pets as members of the family,” said Manchester.

Billy Nicholles, pet food researcher with Bryant Research, said the trend of using human-grade meat in pet food increases its climate impact because pets aren’t just eating animal parts that would have otherwise gone unused.

“We definitely can’t dismiss these impacts altogether by just saying these are the offcuts, these are environmentally negligible,” he said.

Piss off. And that article keeps going and going. It’s not news, it’s simply doomsday cult doctrine.

Media Seems Upset Over Anti-Semitism Investigations At Colleges

See, the problem is not the Jew hatred, it’s investigating the Jew hatred

Surge in antisemitism investigations at US universities after October 7 attacks, data shows

US government investigations into universities over antisemitism allegations surged following the 7 October 2023 attacks and Israel’s subsequent war in Gaza, with more investigations open in the last two months of that year than in the two decades prior, according to a report published on Monday that was shared exclusively with the Guardian.

The data, compiled by the Middle East Studies Association and the American Association of University Professors and relying on publicly available records, offers a detailed account of how landmark civil rights legislation – and particularly Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act – has become a primary tool to restrict speech on campus.

The provision, intended to prevent discrimination in educational institutions, was used by the Biden administration to target pro-Palestinian activism and later became the preferred weapon of the Trump administration to threaten universities with billions in funding cuts and impose its ideological priorities on issues that go well beyond antisemitism.

“In effect, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is no longer being used to address racial discrimination in higher education,” said Asl? Bâli, president of the Middle East Studies Association. “Instead, Title VI has been repurposed as part of the administration’s broader effort to remake higher education in line with its rightwing political and cultural agenda.”

So, you have an Islamist group, MESA, compiling data about their people being investigated for Jew hatred, and let’s not forget that it isn’t just mean words, which colleges usually crack down on. It was harassment and threats. And they are trying to use the CRA to protect that Jew hatred, while also being the first to scream “Islamaphobia” the other way. Let’s find out more about them

While MESA promotes itself as a “non-political organization,” its membership is dominated by anti-America, anti-Israel leftists who are apologists for Islamic terrorism. For example, on February 22, 2002, MESA issued a statement on behalf of its Board of Directors in support of Sami Al-Arian, the University of South Florida professor who was once the North American leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

There are lots of links to Islamic radicals.

The complaints paint a picture of the deep rifts on US campuses over the war in Gaza, and capture the inflammatory language and accusations that have dominated university life for the past two years. They also point to a divide over the definition of antisemitism, with the number of critiques of Israel and Zionism dwarfing derogatory speech or discriminatory actions targeting Jews broadly.

In one anonymous complaint, filed days after 7 October 2023, an account was submitted through an education department online form, accusing a professor at Cornell University of spreading “hate and lies” and “pushing people towards violence”.

There wouldn’t be a need for complaints if college students weren’t being Jew haters, calling for the destruction of Israel, and supporting Hamas, right?

“Some complaints are just rants with almost no evidence or detail,” noted Darryl Li, a professor at the University of Chicago and co-author of the report. “Government civil rights enforcement is now being driven by the equivalent of a YouTube comment section.”

And how many times have there been complaints where the student actually manufactured the hate crime and the college went crazy on investigating, not too mention the news media, and sometimes the FBI? Here we could actually see and hear the hatred, because it was on “film”.

In another case, the parent of a student at Eastern Washington University filed a one-paragraph complaint with the department, claiming their daughter felt “unsafe” on campus because of frequent pro-Palestinian protests that the parent said were “hateful”, claiming without evidence that students chanted “Jews are committing genocide” during protests. “The Political Science Department has scheduled public talks that quickly get out of hand and are taken over by radicals who endorse Hamas and accuse Jews – not Israelis – of being baby killers and murderers,” the parent elaborated, attaching a photo of a poster for a campus event titled The Massacre in Gaza: Security or Genocide? “Please investigate the university,” the complaint concluded.

Yeah, we saw that stuff on video, as well. The gaslighting from the groups and the UK Guardian is amazing.

Good News: Amish Are Totally Getting Into Electric Bikes

Good for them

Amish communities are using a surprising kind of vehicle to travel long distances: ‘They can just hop on’

In a surprising twist that blends tradition with technology, some Amish communities in Iowa are embracing electric bicycles as a practical and sustainable way to travel longer distances — no horses required.

For generations, the Amish have been known for their reliance on horse-drawn buggies and their cautious approach to modern conveniences. But in places such as Kalona and Bloomfield, e-bikes are quietly joining the mix, offering a simpler, faster, and more accessible way to get around without compromising core values.

According to the Iowa Capital Dispatch, e-bikes are gaining traction among New Order Amish, a more moderate sect within the community that allows limited use of modern tools. Local residents say the change has been gradual but significant: What began as a few bicycles rolling down the road has grown into a small movement of Amish riders zipping among farms, markets, and neighboring towns.

The appeal is clear. E-bikes make it easier to navigate Iowa’s hilly terrain and gravel roads, reducing dependence on horses while saving time and energy. Riders can cover miles more efficiently, especially for errands, family visits, or work in nearby towns. Some have even added baskets or trailers to carry groceries, tools, and children — a modern twist on the classic buggy.

Well, good for them!

Beyond convenience, the shift also carries environmental benefits. E-bikes produce no direct pollution and use only a fraction of the energy required to power a car or small tractor. As rural communities adapt to changing transportation needs, the Amish’s embrace of low-impact technology offers a reminder that sustainable progress doesn’t have to mean abandoning tradition.

Everyday commuters are also increasingly hopping on the trend, making their travel times to work faster, cheaper, and greener.

You had to know this was going to end up in the climate cult, right?

Gavin Newson’s Proposed Budget Spends $10 Billion In Healthcare For Illegals

I was told by Democrats and the Credentialed Media that government is not providing healthcare/insurance to illegals

California Will Spend 28x More On Healthcare For Illegals Than State Law Enforcement

surprise surprise surpriseCalifornia expects to spend 28 times more on health benefits for illegal aliens than on state police in the 2025-2026 budget period.

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s final budget allocates $348 million to law enforcement while the state’s own budget experts in an October report estimate the tab for giving full health benefits for illegal aliens amounts to $10 billion. The new report by the state’s Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) reveals a 35% higher figure than the $7.4 billion cost Newsom estimated in his January 2025 budget proposal.

California’s joint state-federal Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, provides comprehensive coverage for doctor’s visits, medications, and dental and vision care for 1.7 million illegal aliens, who represent 11% of the program’s enrollees, according to the LAO report. Illegal immigrants’ health benefits will consume a fourth of the Medi-Cal money flowing from state coffers.

Expansions of the policy to include illegal aliens of any age on Medi-Cal drove spending on the program skyward to more than double the initial estimates, LAO’s report says.

While on paper the state must only use its own funds for illegal immigrants, in practice, California obtains federal Medicaid dollars for its pet priorities through complex accounting.

Obvioiusly, Newsom’s own budget and California’s spending is fake news. It can’t be real. I was told so.

I wonder if the cops in the People’s Republik of California will finally say they’ve had enough, and retire, retire early, or just head to other states. And the PRC will start getting even more illegals streaming into the state, causing the actual costs to skyrocket for healthcare, insurance, food, and more.

Surprise: BBC Doctored Trump Jan 6th Footage

And the Credentialed Media wonders why they are not trusted and called partisan

Bombshell UK Report Reveals BBC ‘Doctored’ Trump Footage to Make It Look Like He Called for Jan 6 Violence

The BBC “doctored” video of a speech President Donald Trump gave to make it appear like he was calling on his supporters to “fight” and be violent during the Jan. 6 Capitol Riot, according to a bombshell report from The Telegraph on Monday.

Editors for Panorama, the BBC’s longest-running investigative series, duped viewers during an October 2024 special by altering the sequence of a speech Trump gave in 2021.

“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and I’ll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell,” Trump is heard saying on the program.

In reality, he said: “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.”

Trump, a moment later, added he wanted his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically” make their voices heard — something that was left out of the 2024 special, titled Trump: A Second Chance?

An internal UK government report, which The Telegraph’s story is based on, found the show “completely misled” viewers with its editing.

On first blush, it is disturbing that the British government was investigating, not like government can be trusted. Then you remember that the BBC is owned by the British government, so, you had unhinged tools working for the British government, paid for by the British citizens, whether they like it or not, and went full TDS and full on, 100% lie.

Gold’s Gym Boot Woman For Complaining About Men In The Locker Rooms. And A Chaser

They weren’t complaining about male employees cleaning (they put up signs for that)

And she had her membership revoked

LA singer says her Gold’s Gym membership was revoked after heated confrontation with ‘man’ using women’s locker room

A popular singer-songwriter claims she was booted from a Gold’s Gym in Los Angeles after getting into a heated caught-on-camera confrontation with a “man” she had filed complaints against for using the women’s locker room.

Tish Hyman, a 42-year-old Bronx native, said her membership to the gym chain was revoked on Sunday following the fracas.

Hyman filmed the brief, one-sided shouting match with the unidentified gymgoer, who was dressed in all black and accessorized with a pair of dangling earrings.

The person repeatedly asked an irate man who also stormed over who he was before Hyman interjected.

Why is it always men with mental illness pretending to be women? Never the reverse. Oh, and the chaser

60-year-old gym chain announces 23 location closures in shocking move

For over 60 years, Gold’s Gym has served as a cornerstone of fitness culture. Since opening its first location in 1965 in Venice Beach, California, it has been known as the mecca of bodybuilding, attracting legends such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.

However, even the most iconic chains are not immune to financial troubles. Gold’s Gym filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2020 to restructure its debt, citing Covid shutdowns as a primary cause. (snip)

While the bankruptcy filing may have rattled thousands of loyal fans, Gold’s Gym has made another surprising decision that will forever change an entire region of its business. The company has sold 23 Southern California locations to E?S Fitness, but will maintain ownership of its original Venice Beach flagship. (snip)

Following the Gold’s Gym email, members received an email from E?S Fitness informing them that the transition had taken place on October 29 and that their active memberships would be transferred seamlessly, ensuring uninterrupted gym access.

I wonder how many they will have to sell because women cancel their memberships?

Good News: Climate Cult Now Destroying Villages In 3rd World

Of course, the ones pushing this in the 1sst World are able to keep their hands clean and never pay a price, or even lose sleep, over this (via Watts Up With That?)

Taxpayers helped foot bill for climate project that ‘destroyed’ villages

The £33m aid project was designed to help poor Ugandan farmers deal with the impact of climate change.

But the reality saw their crops and homes destroyed in an “inhuman” project that left them “on the brink of starvation”.

Local government officials, who were guarded by armed security forces, razed crops, trees and homes as they claimed to be re-wilding wetland in a project run by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which has received £2.6bn in UK taxpayers’ money.

It is one of a number of controversial projects uncovered in a seven-month investigation by The Telegraph into how the Government is spending £11.6bn in International Climate Finance (ICF).

On Friday, The Telegraph revealed how the public has paid for a £52m road to nowhere through the jungle in Guyana, rusting solar panels on schools in Zimbabwe and condoms in the Congo all under the guise of climate aid.

Do the GCF and UK taxpayers understand what their votes have done?

It comes as Sir Keir Starmer prepares to meet with world leaders at next week’s Cop30 summit in Brazil, where his spokesman said he would be “driving forward the agenda” on “restoring the UK as a global leader on climate action and green growth”.

But his government will face questions at home over their green agenda amid revelations that dozens of the programmes have been beset with allegations of fraud and waste.

The Telegraph can reveal that taxpayer money has also been spent on programmes accused of human rights abuses and for solar panels for one of the world’s richest hotel chains.

This is a very long article highlighting how bad and how fraudulent things are in this climate scam program.

Illegal Alien Advocates Freak Over Traffic Stops In DC

The District Of Columbia is the capitol of the U.S. Why do we have so many illegal aliens in and near the seat of government?

Advocates raise concerns about immigration stops on DC-area parkways

Immigration advocates say they are seeing an increase in traffic stops and possible detainments involving federal law enforcement officers on major parkways around the nation’s capital.

Advocacy organization CASA told the News4 I-Team that over the past month, it has received numerous reports of work trucks and vans being stopped along the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, the George Washington Memorial Parkway and the Clara Barton Parkway.

“The majority of these people who are detained are Black and brown immigrants,” said Alex Vazquez, CASA’s national organizing director. “A lot of the people do work in construction or plumbing, something that would require a white van or work vehicle.”

I wonder how many of these “advocates” actually live in the area, and have to deal with the crime from illegals? But, you know, they are upset that law enforcement enforcing duly enacted federal law interferes with illegals maintaining their lawns and fixing stuff at below standard cost. But

U.S. Park Police, a unit of the Department of Interior, said its officers are enforcing traffic laws. Commercial vehicles are not allowed on parkways without a special permit.

“Traffic safety enforcement remains a priority,” a DOI spokesperson said in a statement to News4, “including stopping commercial vehicles that are prohibited from using the parkway and addressing violations such as speeding or unsafe driving. The parkway is managed by NPS (National Park Service) as a historic and scenic federal roadway, designed for lighter traffic and passenger vehicles rather than heavy commercial transport.”

So, illegals provided driver’s licenses by liberals failing to properly obey the law? Weird.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson could not confirm any increased enforcement on parkways. But in a statement, ICE said the agency “has been conducting enforcement operations in Washington, DC, and on surrounding federal property, alongside our law enforcement partners since Aug. 10. ICE is proud to be part of the solution to make DC safe and beautiful again. For operational security and for the safety of our law enforcement personnel, ICE does not confirm, deny, or otherwise discuss ongoing or future operations. The agency publicly announces operational results when appropriate.”

According to a federal court affidavit reviewed by the I-Team, a Park Police sergeant acknowledged working alongside ICE and its Enforcement and Removal Operations officers during an Aug. 29 stop on the GW Parkway. The affidavit states officers attempted to determine the immigration status of a man cited for alleged reckless driving in a white van.

Perhaps if they learned and followed proper traffic laws they wouldn’t get stopped. That’s on them.
