LA Cultural Heritage Commission Upset Over Planned Anti-Homeless Fence

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

I’ve been told that fences do not work

I’m kinda shocked that it is only $2.3 million. That’s not enough to spread around the graft

LA Cultural Heritage Commission Voices Opposition to Fence MacArthur Park

The Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission Thursday voiced their concerns over a proposed project to install a fence around MacArthur Park, arguing it would alter a cultural historic monument that has been an open landscape for Angelenos and visitors to enjoy more for than 100 years.

The Cultural Heritage Commission briefly discussed a letter Thursday morning in which they expressed their opposition to the project. The letter was sent to the Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation and its associated board of commissioners, who are overseeing the proposed fencing project.

“While the Commission is sympathetic to the Department of Recreation and Parks’ operational challenges and safety concerns, the commission is apprehensive about the concept of closing off a civic monument to the public,” according to an August 17 letter signed by Cultural Heritage Commission President Barry Milofsky.

“More specifically, the commission questions the appropriateness of the apparent permanency of the fence, as well as the height, proposed to be between 8- and 11-feet at various sections,” the letter continued.

It’s pretty much budgeted for, and they are getting ready for construction. It’s is ironic that the sanctuary city of Los Angeles wants to fence off MacArthur Park to keep all the homeless (that the city does everything to tempt to come to LA) while saying that walls along the border do not work.

Unhinged Women In Pink Rally In Favor Of Lindsay Clancy, Who Murdered Her 3 Children

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

There’s a saying that something is Peak X. The problem with that is that people are always able to go beyond. It continues to get worse. You thought liberal women were peak broke?

Women in pink rally in support of Lindsay Clancy at her trial for killing her 3 children

Hundreds of Lindsay Clancy supporters, many wearing pink clothing emblazoned with phrases such as “Believe,” “She Needed Help” and “Peace For Lindsay,” gathered Thursday outside the courthouse where she is on trial in the killings of her three children.

Several of the 300 women, and a few men, said Clancy’s story resonated with them and that they wanted to raise awareness about how the mental health system treats women. Clancy’s lawyer does not dispute that she killed the children, but says she should not be held criminally responsible because she was mentally ill.

The livestreamed trial has sparked massive discussions online and has brought attention to postpartum psychosis, a rare mental illness Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington says she had that is linked to the stress, sleep deprivation and hormonal changes that follow childbirth. Reddington said she also has bipolar disorder. After strangling her children, Clancy jumped from a second-story window and remains paralyzed from the waist down.

Her mom was helping out. Her husband was working from home. She’s been given all sorts of medical/psychological help. She contrived to send her husband away on errands and then murdered her 3 kids, ages 5 years, 3 years, and 8 months. Even if suffering from postpartum psychosis, there is zero reason for so many women to support her in this manner

They’re nuts

The insanity of the Lindsay Clancy sympathizers

…..

The case is harrowing. Yet a surprising number of women online are eager to put themselves in the accused murderer’s shoes. “Same, Lindsay” is trending on TikTok. The videos follow a template: a phone propped at an intimate, low angle, a woman rocking or nursing her own toddler against her chest, voice catching as on-screen text quotes lines lifted straight from Clancy’s personal diary entries – the same ones read aloud in Plymouth Superior Court – before the caption lands on “Same, Lindsay.”

After one such clip circulated, critics accused the creator of “fake crying” while “using Lindsay Clancy’s diary words read in court” as content. One account, @courageandchaosss, fired back at the backlash: “My children are the furthest from being in danger. They have one damn good mama.”

Another posted the caption “me when I had to ask the neighbor to bathe her because I thought I would drown her,” treating a private, terrifying thought as a bonding credential. From there, the videos curdle into acquittal theater: women film themselves “hanging out their windows” to argue Clancy’s innocence despite her own lawyer conceding she did it. Others insist “he killed the kids” – pointing at Patrick, who made the 911 call – or, in one case, claiming to have dreamed that Patrick abused Cora, captioned, “Hopefully Lindsay gets justice.” Some have simply declared her the winner of a trial that hasn’t ended because she “proved postpartum psychosis the moment she killed her 3 children.”

It’s worth reading the rest of that article (paywall removed here). These are the types of vids we are seeing (click the more tag)

Your Fault: Hotcoldwetdry Could Maybe Possibly Triple The Price Of Wheat

By William Teach August 22, 2026 – 7:15 am

It’s your fault if only cake is left

Climate change could triple the price of wheat

Bread, pasta and breakfast cereals may seem far removed from dry fields in North America, Europe or Asia. Yet when water shortages hit several of the world’s most important wheat-growing regions simultaneously, the consequences can be felt all the way to supermarket shelves and bakery aisles.

This is the conclusion of a new international study published in the journal Earth’s Future. Researchers combined climate data, crop production areas and global commodity prices to investigate how drought affects wheat markets worldwide. The findings are striking: The extent of severe water scarcity alone can explain around 74% of annual fluctuations in global wheat prices between 2000 and 2021.

Among the co-authors is Jørgen E. Olesen, professor and head of the Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University.

“We already know that climate change affects agricultural production. What is new here is that we can document a clear link between widespread drought across the globe and the prices faced by consumers and food markets,” he says.

They’re literally looking for things to scaremonger over. Wheat was down in 2025 in the US mostly because more are growing soybeans and corn (like to use as biofuels). Other areas of the world had fantastic crops.

At around 2 degrees of global warming, the model estimates an average wheat price of approximately USD 273 per tonne. At 3 degrees of warming, that figure rises to about USD 364 per tonne, roughly three times the inflation-adjusted global wheat price recorded in 2010.

So, sometime way in the future.

The researchers emphasize that drought is not the only factor influencing wheat prices. Energy and fertilizer costs, grain stocks, trade policies and geopolitical conflicts also play important roles. However, the study identifies a climate-driven factor that has previously been difficult to quantify and that already appears to be influencing global markets. That makes the findings relevant far beyond agriculture.

In other words, the other things are very important and the weather changes.

Haitians Are Being Sent Back To The Wonderful, Awesome Nation Of Haiti

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

It is a wonderful nation, is it not?

Here we go

ICE begins deporting Haitians who lost TPS back to homeland

The first deportation flight to Haiti since the Trump administration ended humanitarian protections for 350,000 people living in the United States landed Thursday in the Caribbean nation, and activists say immigration arrests are beginning to ramp up.

The flight carrying 170 people, ranging in age from 19 to 71, landed in Cap-Haitien, on the northern coast of Haiti. Commercial flights from the U.S. have been blocked from landing in the Caribbean nation’s primary airport in the capital of Port-au-Prince due to gang activity and reports of aircraft being struck by gunfire.

I thought it was great? Didn’t all that Clinton Foundation cash, as well as all the money and aid given after the big earthquake fix this?

The federal government has been sending deportees back to Haiti on monthly flights, but Thursday’s removal was among the largest that community leaders said they had seen during the second Trump administration.

Many of the passengers had been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the last three weeks, and at least one had recently lost temporary protected status, according to Guerline Jozef of the Haitian Bridge Alliance.

“People are losing TPS status and losing their asylum cases,” she said. “It’s become easier and easier to be taken and deported.”

As it should be.

On Thursday, community leaders in Springfield, Ohio, said ICE arrested a well-known Christian pastor, Joubert Adrien. He was driving home when officers boxed in his vehicle at a gas station, the activists said. He had recently lost TPS, according to Vilés Dorsainvil of the Haitian Support Center.

The arrest has sent chills through Adrien’s congregation and the larger Haitian community, Dorsainvil added.

Which is the point, so that they leave, be it back to Haiti or somewhere else. The T stands for temporary, and it’s time to go back and make Haiti great again.

Climate Weenies Sue Trump Admin Over Eliminating Climate (scam) Research

By William Teach August 21, 2026 – 3:46 pm

Say, does the Constitution require the federal government to fund this stuff?

Lawsuit challenges Trump effort to quash climate research

An environmental group is taking the Trump administration to court over its efforts to dismantle one of the world’s leading climate, weather and Earth science institutions.

In a complaint filed Thursday in federal court in Colorado, the Environmental Defense Fund argues that federal law does not permit the administration to eliminate the research functions at the National Center for Atmospheric Research that inform the public’s understanding of climate change.

The lawsuit also challenges the administration’s December 2025 decision to close the Mesa Lab, NCAR’s headquarters in the Boulder foothills. The 60-year-old building complex was designed by famed architect I.M. Pei.

The Trump administration, the lawsuit says, “did not assess the impact of this undertaking and provide for public input as required under the National Historic Preservation Act.” The challenge says such review is required for the building because of its architectural significance and history of notable scientific discoveries.

The Trump admin is breaking it up and shifting it to other locations. Also, they rather failed to provide federal statutes that require the existence of NCAR.

Democrats Want ICE To Hold Off On Purchase Of Shock Gloves

By William Teach August 21, 2026 – 10:30 am

You knew this was going to appear at some point after NICE said they were going to buy the gloves, right?

Democrats urge ICE to halt purchase of electric gloves ‘before more innocent lives are lost’

House Democrats on the Homeland Security Committee are calling for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin to abandon plans to equip immigration agents with electric shock gloves and “halt this procurement before more innocent lives are lost.”

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) earlier this month published a notice of their plan to buy the generated low output voltage emitter, marketed as G.L.O.V.E., prompting widespread concern over how they may be used. ICE is a part of DHS led by Mullin.

“Under the Trump administration, ICE has repeatedly violated the law and disregarded its own policies on the use of force, shooting 23 people and killing 6, including 3 U.S. citizens. Many of these individuals were not the target of immigration enforcement operations and, in some cases, they were simply exercising their First Amendment rights. As we have raised in previous letters, DHS personnel have also permanently injured and nearly killed innocent people with so-called ‘less-lethal’ weapons, not unlike the G.L.O.V.E.,” Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) wrote in the letter to Mullin.

“Indeed, ICE has demonstrated a pattern of misusing tools and devices, including rubber bullets and chemical sprays, in manners that put the public at greater risk of serious injury or death.”

Oh, good, House Dems are basically slamming every single person that works for ICE and DHS. Not that they care. Not that the majority of the people killed or injured didn’t put themselves in that position. Democrats will always take the side of illegal aliens and violent Democrats.

Border czar Tom Homan has described the gloves as something of an intermediary step.

“Look, it’s another device to help someone be compliant, whether or not — you know, you just can’t go from zero to 100, right?” he said during an appearance on Fox News last week.

“There’s a lot of training involved. There’s still some background issues that need to be dealt with. So, the implementation of these gloves out in the field are going to be a while. I think they serve a better purpose in detention facility, where detainees get out of control and there’s fights in the facility,” Homan said.

Maybe Democrats should stop pushing their peasants to be nutjobs out in the streets. Maybe they should stop telling illegals to come to the U.S.

Climate Cult Is Worried About Contrails (Again)

By William Teach August 21, 2026 – 7:15 am

They want to reduce them

Fewer contrails would be good for the climate

Good news on global warming is thin on the ground. But there may be some up in the air. Operation Blue Skies, announced on August 18th, is a scientific study being undertaken by Britain’s air-traffic-control service, NATS, and various organisations where people study the effects on climate of the streaks of cloud created by aircraft—known as contrails.

Over the next two winters the consortium aims to see if it is possible to reduce the number of persistent contrails—the class with the largest such effects—over a swathe of the North Atlantic, thereby measurably reducing the climate impact of civil aviation. If this experiment works, a worldwide application of the same techniques might cut the climate effects of air travel by as much as half.

On a sunny day the wispy cirrus clouds into which some contrails are transformed can look as if they might be cooling the planet in the manner of a delicate parasol. And some contrails do indeed cool things down beneath them a bit. But they also warm things up by trapping some of the upwelling infrared radiation that would otherwise escape into space. On average, that warming effect, found in all contrails (and the cirrus clouds they turn into), handsomely outweighs the cooling provided by some. In the climate scheme of things, contrails are a liability.

Happily, it appears that much harm can be avoided by small changes to flight paths. Persistent contrails appear only in what are known as “ice-supersaturated regions” (ISSRs). Often planes can avoid such regions just by flying a little bit lower. The purpose of Operation Blue Skies is to find out how well the presence of ISSRs can be predicted, how effective such little shifts in altitude can be in avoiding persistent contrails, and how easily and safely the changes in flight path needed to bring them about can be integrated into routines for airlines and air-traffic control.

Of course, what the cult really wants is to ban the peasants from flying at all

If contrail-avoidance turns out to be as useful as it looks, it would be much simpler to simply have air-traffic controllers assign routes that limit persistent contrails when it is possible and safe to do so. If some airlines choose to avoid the affected routes, others will surely be happy to take their place. And if such a scheme were also to show the benefits of innovations in air-traffic control (quite a few have been suggested) the industry would end up better off, as well as less polluting.

Which would require political commissars, er, climate cult scientists approving the routes.
