Does Anyone Really Care About The Carbon Footprint Of Your Thanksgiving Turkey

By William Teach November 27, 2025 – 7:15 am

Well, in cult world they care, hence an idiot article at Axios

Your Thanksgiving turkey has a carbon footprint

climate change joke

You probably won’t ponder your carbon footprint when you sit down to devour that Thanksgiving turkey — but some food and climate activists say you should.

Why it matters: With climate change fading in importance on some U.S. lawmakers’ priority lists, activists say even small steps from the public are needed.

The big picture: The beloved bird is considered more environmentally friendly than beef. But turkey still produces, in production and post-production, the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for global warming — even more than chicken, according to the Environmental Working Group.

No, I never considered pondering it. How about you? Are you a cultist? If you are, here we go with the normal

How to talk to your skeptical parents about climate change at Thanksgiving

Let’s be honest: telling your parents they might be wrong about something has never been easy. Now, throw in politics, Thanksgiving dinner and climate change? That’s a recipe for disaster – and indigestion.

But here’s the thing – if you approach the conversation in the right way, you can actually communicate some pretty challenging information without it spiraling into a shouting match. Here’s how to talk to your parents, or anyone on the other side of the issue, about climate change.

Why is a conversation necessary at all? If you want to be a miserable sod, stay home. Let everyone else be and have a good day.

Polar Vortex Set to Hit US During Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend

A weather phenomenon known as a polar vortex is likely to hit a large swath of North America this week and into next, potentially disrupting travel for millions of people during the Thanksgiving holiday. (big snip through explanations as to the places to be affected)

It’s unclear whether this specific weather event is due to climate change or not — polar vortexes happen regularly every two years or so, and this current one appears to be aided by the La Niña phenomenon as well. But a growing body of research suggests that, as the planet warms due to the effects of the climate crisis, the disruption of Arctic air that is the basis of a polar vortex may become more common and/or more severe.

Sigh.

Democrats Love Meeting With Violent Illegal Aliens

By William Teach November 27, 2025 – 7:00 am

Seriously, can anyone figure out how this benefits Democrats? Are their base voters that stupid and/or divorced from reality? Are these elected Democrats that nuts and hate Americans this much?

Democrats Meet with Previously Deported Illegal Alien Accused of Kidnapping, Domestic Violence

A group of House Democrats met with a previously deported illegal alien – accused of kidnapping and domestic violence – at a detention facility in San Diego, California.

According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, Reps. Juan Vargas (D-CA), Mike Levin (D-CA), Sara Jacobs (D-CA), and Scott Peters (D-CA) visited the agency’s San Diego Field Office on November 24 and requested to speak to Dennis Mauricio Rojas-Molina — a previously deported illegal alien from Honduras.

Rojas-Molina, ICE officials reveal, was arrested by the San Diego Sheriff’s Office in May of this year on kidnapping and battery of a spouse charges.

“Democrats once again chose to stand with a criminal illegal alien over American citizens,” the Department of Homeland Security’s Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement:

This criminal illegal alien these Democrat lawmakers met with has been charged with kidnapping and domestic abuse. It begs the question: have they met with his victim? These sanctuary politicians continue to smear law enforcement and falsely claim ICE is not targeting the worst of the worst. It’s disgusting that these sanctuary politicians continue to do the bidding of criminal illegal aliens.

The illegal in question was previously deported, and then came back across the border, which is a felony against the U.S., but, the Obama released him in 2015 instead of either throwing him in jail or immediately deporting him. Previously deported people cannot claim asylum. And then there was a final deportation order, and he finally deported. And then came back in again. And then committed more felonies.

At one point, Levin referred to Rojas-Molina as a “hardworking plumber“, but, deleted it.

Climate Doom May Possibly Maybe We Think Explain More Wildlife In Your Yard

By William Teach November 26, 2025 – 3:00 pm

It’s always something with these wackos

Seeing more wildlife in your yard? Climate change may explain why, UCLA study finds

If you’ve noticed more wildlife visiting your yard in recent years — maybe digging up your vegetable garden or even drinking from your pool — you’re not alone.

A recent study from UCLA found that larger predators like mountain lions and bears are more likely to interact with humans and travel closer to population centers in drier years. To determine this, the researchers analyzed state data collected on reported property damage, nuisances, conflicts and sightings.

“It kind of runs the full gamut of how people interact with wildlife around their neighborhoods and their homes,” said UCLA postdoctoral researcher Kendall Calhoun, the lead author on the study.

As you might expect, different animals might have different reasons for entering populated areas. But in large part, Calhoun said, it comes down to animals’ survival instincts.

The primary motivator for many herbivores is likely to be food. That’s because with less precipitation, there’s also less plant material for them to eat. (Don’t forget: even with all the rain we’ve had recently, much of Southern California is still in a drought.)

“?Deer and elk might be pushed to find those food resources in places that they normally wouldn’t go, like agriculture, crops, things from people’s yards, persimmons from your tree,” Calhoun said.

While wetter and drier times might have something to do with it, the main culprit has always been urban/suburban sprawl, taking away resources and territory. And, these wild animals can get used to being in human dominated areas, looking for livestock (which has happened for thousands of years), digging through trash, eating your garden. There’s less concern for humans doing something and larger numbers as environmental regulations (which I’m in favor of) limit hunting them.

We have a coyote which wanders through the middle of our golfing community. I’ve seen it on multiple occassions. It walks through the backyards of homes and along the 15th. I saw it walk across the road in the middle of the day and into a backyard near the 1st tee. I know they walk along the greenway along the river. I’ve seen tracks for other animals, possibly a large wild cat. Deer will be in my backyard since I moved in in 2009. One scared the beejesus out of me at 630am in the dark while having that 1st smoke while rubbing his antlers on my deck.

There are bears that will get in the middle of the Garden State Parkway in Monmouth County and down, especially in Ocean and down, as more construction happens. Think of the moose videos in Alaska and Maine. Gators in Florida, Alabama, etc. It’s not ‘climate change’, but, the cult has to drag everything in.

Media Super Concerned That So Many Illegals With “No” Criminal Record Are Being Detained

By William Teach November 26, 2025 – 10:30 am

This is the big talking point

From the “article”

The number of immigration detainees without criminal records who are held in federal detention centers after getting arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement has increased by over 2,000% since the start of the second Trump administration in January, according to official government data.

The statistics, published online by ICE as part of a transparency requirement mandated by Congress, illustrate the wide-ranging scope of President Trump’s mass deportation campaign.

On Nov. 16, the government figures show, ICE was holding 65,135 people in detention facilities throughout the U.S., the highest level ever publicly reported by the agency, which was created in 2003 following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. CBS News first reported the record detention levels earlier this month, citing internal data.

The official figures indicate that 30,986 – or 48% — of the ICE detainees in custody as of Nov. 16 lacked any criminal charges or convictions in the U.S. and were being held solely because of civil violations of U.S. immigration law. ICE calls them “immigration violators.”

I fail to see the problem. Federal law is federal law. They are here in violation of that law, so, they can either self deport or risk getting picked up, detained, and deported. Dems and the media had zero issue with Los Federales tracking down every single American present at J6, most of whom did nothing, or nothing worse than wandering through the halls of Congress. Perhaps there wouldn’t be so many if Biden hadn’t allowed so many in.

Those with criminal convictions represented about 26%, or 17,171, of all ICE detainees on Nov. 16. The data show 16,978 individuals — another 26% of ICE’s detainee population — had criminal charges.

ICE and DHS knew who a goodly chunk of the people were, because they’ve been in the system for, in some cases, a long time. All those let in by Biden were all tagged. It’s easy to find them. And the law states that people in the U.S. illegally are given a small fine, possible jail time, and then deported.

ICE’s detention population includes individuals arrested by that agency, typically in communities or jails inside of the U.S., as well as detainees transferred by Customs and Border Protection. Most detainees initially arrested by CBP, most commonly along the U.S.-Mexico border, historically have lacked criminal histories in the U.S. because many have not lived in the country for significant periods or at all.

I wonder how many have criminal charges/convictions in other countries?

At the same time, some senior Trump administration officials, including border czar Tom Homan and acting ICE director Todd Lyons, have said anyone encountered by immigration authorities and found to be in the U.S. illegally will be arrested, even if they’re not the intended target of an operation. Those so-called “collateral arrests” had been largely banned under Biden-era rules the Trump administration scrapped.

That’s because federal law makes no distinction. Illegally present is illegally present.

Your Fault: Mount Rainier Might Possibly Maybe Be Shrinking

By William Teach November 26, 2025 – 7:00 am

I love when they go all sciency

Mount Rainier may be shrinking due to climate change: Study

Mount Rainer, the active stratovolcano located in Washington state, is likely shrinking due to climate change, according to new research.

The loss of snow and ice is one of the most visible signs of human-amplified climate change in mountainous regions worldwide. In the contiguous United States, five locations have maintained year-round frozen peaks over the past century — all of them in Washington state.

However, rising global temperatures in recent decades are threatening to change that, not only by accelerating ice decline, but also by altering the elevations of major mountains, including the popular hiking and tourist destination Mount Rainier.

Since the mid-20th century, the summit of Mount Rainier has likely declined more than 20 feet due to snow and ice melt, according to research recently published in the journal Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine Research (AAAR).

May. Likely. Likely.

Is it or isn’t it? If you’re going to make the claim one would think there would be actual scientific facts and data.

Researchers used satellite data, laser measurements and historical photographs to track how the five ice-capped summits have changed since the 1950s, employing new measurement techniques that offer unprecedented accuracy.

“Measurements taken on site used base stations around the state to correct the data. So, it gets the number down to the nearest inch,” Eric Gilbertson, associate teaching professor at Seattle University and co-author of the study, said in a statement released with the study. (snip)

Studying these impacts is challenging because there are currently no comprehensive databases, historical or contemporary, that track ice-capped summits.

So, there are no actual databases to truly measure it against? And there couldn’t be other causes, such as that we’re in a typical Holocene warm period, and Rainier is a volcano? Nah, your fault.

WALW Judge Whines At ICE, Declares Arrests “Unlawful”

By William Teach November 26, 2025 – 6:45 am

Yet another white, affluent, liberal woman judge who will see her ruling overturned on appeal, since it has no basis in federal law

ICE conduct in Colorado “unlawful”: Federal judge restricts how immigration officers can arrest people in the state

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents’ conduct during arrests in Colorado has been “unlawful,” a federal judge ruled Tuesday in an order that restricts how immigration officers can arrest people in the state.

The preliminary injunction ruling is a significant victory for immigrants rights groups, who sued ICE last month to stop “indiscriminate” arrests and detentions. The lawsuit alleges that ICE agents are arresting and detaining people in Colorado because of their skin color, accent or perceived nationality, without determining flight risk, to fulfill arrest quotas set by the Trump administration.

ICE must repay the bond money posted by three named plaintiffs in the case, all immigrants arrested in Colorado, remove their ankle monitors and stop making warrantless arrests in the state without determining and documenting each person’s flight risk, according to the the ruling by U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson in Denver. (snip)

The ruling could force ICE to curb its arrests of bystanders in targeted operations or its use of large sweeps of apartment buildings and workplaces, where officers do not know the identities of all of the people they are arresting before they arrive.

ICE should take all the people with criminal records that they knew about and house them near the judge’s house

U.S. District Judge R. Brooke Jackson in Denver ruled that Dias Goncalves and two of the other plaintiffs now represent a class that includes all people arrested since Jan. 20, 2025, and people who will be arrested by immigration officers in Colorado “without a warrant and without a pre-arrest, individualized assessment of probable cause that the person poses a flight risk.”

In other words, Judge Brooke is going to want them all released and ankle monitors removed soon.

After a warrantless arrest, immigration officers now must document evidence of a person’s flight risk, including only evidence that they were aware of before making the arrest. That documentation will have to include evidence of a person’s ties to the community that weigh against flight risk.

Under what federal statute is this requirement, because, last time I check, judge’s do not make law. Though she’s giving it a shot. I figure the appeal should be heard next week and Judge Brook’s ruling overturned within 14 days. What is it with these liberal judges that they want illegal immigrants freed, despite what federal law actually says?

Cult Asks What ‘Climate Change’ Means For Your Thanksgiving

By William Teach November 25, 2025 – 3:00 pm

I wonder what it meant when it was first established, back during the Little Ice Age?

What Climate Change Means For Your Thanksgiving Dinner

For people around the U.S., Thanksgiving is a chance to enjoy the best an autumn harvest has to offer—from sweet potatoes and pumpkin to turkey and green beans.

It is, while joining with friends and family. Time Magazine should have stopped there.

But as higher temperatures impact growing seasons and extreme weather events wipe out crops, farmers across the country are facing mounting challenges when it comes to growing produce and raising livestock.

“Drought, changing temperature patterns in different parts of the country, natural disasters… all of those things have an impact on the supply of food and agricultural commodities,” says Marcus Coleman, professor of practice at Tulane University whose work focuses on food systems and agriculture.

Climate change is leading to more irregularity when it comes to seasonal weather patterns, which can impact the growing cycle for a number of crops.

Two Thanksgiving staples illustrate these challenges. “Cranberries and apples are both very dependent on specific temperature patterns,” says Coleman. Cranberries, which require cooler temperatures during their growing period to help them ripen before they’re harvested in the fall, can see abnormal blossoming when exposed to inconsistent temperatures. This can lead to lower yields. Meanwhile a late spring frost can kill the blossoms that produce apples.

Turkeys, on the other hand, are particularly sensitive to extreme heat.

“Rising temperature increases heat stress on the poultry,” says Coleman. “From a supply perspective, that could slow down their growth rates or raise the overall [risk for] mortality. It can also drive up the cost of production, because farmers have to put in mechanisms to deal with the heat so as to not impact the output of the birds.”

And a 1.7F increase since 1850 is horrible, you know. It’s just a doomsday cult being doomsday cult. The rest is just more cult, right up to the ending

Knowing where our food is coming from and the challenges farmers are facing can also remind us to be thankful for the food that we have—and to make sure those Thanksgiving leftovers don’t go to waste.

Do they realize that many of the more hardcore Warmists are also the same cranks who hate Thanksgiving (but, also want holiday pay and the day off)?

Trump Designating Some Muslim Brotherhood Groups As Foreign Terrorists

By William Teach November 25, 2025 – 10:30 am

Too bad he cannot designate the Muslim Brotherhood and all their groups as terrorists, because they are, regardless of whether they are pushing violence or using laws, rules, and social mores against nations. The MB are the main source behind most modern Islamic terrorism, starting in the early 20th Century, and their other idea was to infiltrate and take over nations softly, without violence. Ask how it’s going in European nations, like Britain

Trump designates chapters of Muslim Brotherhood ‘foreign terrorist organizations’

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday that begins the process of designating certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood “as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists.”

The Muslim Brotherhood is a Sunni Islamist organization founded in Egypt in 1928 that achieved political power in the nation briefly in 2012 before the Muslim Brotherhood-aligned Egyptian government was overthrown in a 2013 coup.

The White House said the designation will help combat the group’s transnational network, which it said fuels terrorism and destabilization campaigns against U.S. interests and allies in the Middle East. A fact sheet accompanying the order cites connections between Jordan’s Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, which was responsible for the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, among other alleged links to terrorist activity.

The designation will allow the United States to target the groups’ U.S.-based finances, collect military intelligence on them and prosecute individuals deemed to have provided “material support” to Muslim Brotherhood chapters with the terrorist designation.

The order calls for Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to recommend chapters for the terrorist designation within 45 days. A fact sheet issued by the White House said chapters in Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan are among those to be considered for the designation.

The MB is banned in Egypt and designated in full as a terrorist organization for a reason. Also in Bahrain, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates

Unlike the effort in Trump’s first term, the new executive order calls for assigning the terrorist designation to specific chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood. Muslim Brotherhood chapters share a common ideological foundation but lack international organizational unity.

As much as it would be nice to simply designate the MB as a whole, that, unfortunately, doesn’t work within a 1st World Nation nor the U.S. They have to designate specific operational groups. Sadly, you can bet that groups like the Muslim Student Association will not be included, and they are one of the most dangerous, as they spread extremist Islam on campuses across the U.S. Hatred of the U.S., Christians, and Jews. Support of groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and more.

(Newsweek) The measure would have support from some Democrats, as several have cosponsored legislation to designate the group as a foreign terrorist organization. Five Democrats have signed onto the “Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2025,” introduced by a pair of Republicans, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Representative Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida.

The following Democrats have expressed support for the act:

  1. Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
  2. Representative Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey
  3. Representative Greg Landsman of Ohio
  4. Representative Jared Moskowitz of Florida
  5. Representative Tom Suozzi of New York

Moskowitz urged Trump to “conduct a comprehensive investigation to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a Foreign Terrorist Organization” in a letter sent to his administration in June.

Obviously, you can now expect most Democrats to embrace the Muslim Brotherhood and extremist Islam. Well, more, because Democrats already started taking the side of extremist Islam back during the Bush 43 admin, since their BDS made them do the opposite of Bush in his sorta war on terrorism.
