Extreme Cold Warning with snow on the way in New York and New Jersey

An Extreme Cold Warning has been issued for New York and New Jersey ahead of subzero temperatures and snow forecasted for the weekend.

The Extreme Cold Warning will be in effect from 10 a.m. Saturday through 1 p.m. Sunday, along with a wind advisory from 9 a.m. Saturday through midnight Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.

Temperatures are expected to fall as low as 12 degrees on Saturday with wind chill values between -10 and zero and wind gusts as high as 48 mph, forecasters said. Overnight hours will be even more dangerously cold with wind chills between -20 to -25.

Amid the extreme cold, snow is also forecast to begin Friday night and last through midday Saturday.

Will you at least give up eating meat? Bugs and lettuce should sustain you!

(WPIX) The city is still piled high with snow nearly two weeks after a major storm — and New Yorkers are going to have to pay up.

The city has issued 2,738 tickets to home and business owners who did not clear their sidewalks after the Jan. 25 storm.

Mamdani’s administration is having big problem clearing the snow from the streets, and the trash, yet, they’re fining citizens. Can’t you just feel the warmth of collectivism?

Oregon Senator Plans To Give “Polluters Pay” Legislation A Try Again

By William Teach February 7, 2026 – 7:00 am

Give it a shot, the courts will kill it

Southern Oregon senator revives bill to make big oil pay for disasters driven by climate change

A bill that would require some of the largest, most profitable oil and gas companies in history to pay damages for disasters fueled by climate change is back on the table after the Oregon Legislature failed to pass it less than a year ago.

State Sen. Jeff Golden, D-Ashland, is again championing the Climate Superfund Bill, along with several Portland and Salem-area Democrats.

Modeled after similar laws in New York and Vermont, Senate Bill 1541 would create a new disaster fund housed in the Oregon Treasury, seeded with millions of dollars in damages paid by the handful of companies most responsible for emitting planet-warming greenhouse gasses causing catastrophic climate change.

These include companies like Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and about 50 other oil, gas, coal and cement producers that are directly linked to 80% of the world’s global greenhouse gas emissions during the past decade alone.

Golden reintroduced the bill during a public hearing Thursday in the Senate Natural Resources and Wildfire Committee, which he chairs. A previous version of the bill died in the Senate Energy and Environment Committee during the 2025 session, after chair Sen. Janeen Sollman, D-Hillsboro, said there wasn’t enough time to consider it.

Well, it’s a cute little shakedown to create a slush fund for Democrats to do stupid crap with. Too bad the fossil fuels companies won’t simply refuse to sell their products to the governments that try this crap. Let’s see them operate without fossil fuels.

“Moderate” Dems Push For Talking Tough On Crime

By William Teach February 7, 2026 – 6:45 am

Is there such a thing as a moderate Democrat? Most of them are actually what used to be extremists, but, what the ones that used to be considered extremists are now ultra-far left wackos

Moderates Pitch Tough-on-Crime Message for Democrats Amid Immigration Talks

When Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, Democrat of Nevada, briefed fellow moderate senators in her party this week about new research on voters’ views ahead of the midterm elections, she had grim but familiar news.

Democrats lagged badly behind the G.O.P. when it came to crime, policing and safety — issues on which many independent voters regard them as weak, she said, pointing to a new strategy memo commissioned by an outside group that supports moderate candidates. Democrats were down substantially on the basic issue of “keeping people safe from crime,” the new research showed, even with President Trump’s approval rating sagging.

But she noted a silver lining in the survey, which like many others found a belief among a sizable majority, including many independents, that Immigration and Customs Enforcement had gone too far in the deportation crackdown. That, according to the pollsters, gave Democrats an opening to press for changes if they did so with “nuance,” emphasizing their support for combating crime and support for local police but arguing that ICE had gone too far.

And Ms. Cortez Masto pitched her party’s disadvantage on crime as a place where — with the right policies and messaging — Democrats had room, and a political imperative, to grow.

That’s cute and all, but, all it would be would be talk. There wouldn’t be any action behind it. There never is when Democrats try this. Provided they actually do. Does anyone think that the wackos will even be willing to profess support for local cops, after constantly demonizing them, calling to defund them? After being soft on crime for quite some time, then getting way, way worse, does anyone think any yapping would translate to actually getting tough on criminals? Even if the nationals went down this yap yap route would the state and local Dems do the same?

Ms. Cortez Masto has been urging her colleagues to “lead with toughness” when it comes to talking about and dealing with violent criminals. The polling memo she passed around asserted that voters want Democrats to talk about “punishment,” and that such messages would resonate in particular with Black and Latino voters, as well as independent and swing voters, who could be crucial to their uphill battle to win control of the Senate.

“They’re hearing the same thing in their communities,” Ms. Cortez Masto said in an interview on Friday. “It is about cracking down on crime and holding the violent criminals accountable.”

Huh. Weird how Democrats immediately go to blaming Blacks and Latinos for crime. That should play well.

Swedish Yutes Sue Government Over Climate Crisis (scam)

By William Teach February 6, 2026 – 3:18 pm

Will this be the time when the kiddies are asked in court if they have made their own lives carbon neutral?

Swedish Youth Sue Government Over Climate Inaction

A group of young activists has launched a high-stakes legal challenge against the Swedish government, alleging that the nation’s current climate targets are not only inadequate but a violation of international law.

The lawsuit, filed Friday by youth-led organization Aurora, builds on the argument that Switzerland is not doing its “fair share” to limit global warming to 1.5C. The fair share principle establishes that wealthy, historically high-emitting nations must decarbonize faster than the global average to ensure a just transition.

At the heart of the case is the disparity between Sweden’s domestic goals and what climate science deems necessary. While Sweden has pledged to reach net-zero emissions by 2045, Aurora argues this timeline is at least 15 years too late.

The lawsuit also argues that current national plans exclude high-polluting sectors, meaning the government is only accounting for less than half of the emissions under its actual control.

“Those who pollute the most have a duty to pull their weight in the global effort to fight climate change,” said Ida Edling, Aurora’s spokesperson. “We still have a chance to get out of planetary crises and build a safe and just world, but only if rich and high-emitting states like Sweden stop breaking the law and start immediately transforming their societies. We cannot let the state burn our chance.”

In other words, they want Other People to be forced to Do Something, just not themselves. What they fail to realized, because they are young, brainwashed cultists, is that this will create problems, such as price hikes, in their own lives.

The activists maintain that their chances of victory are higher than ever, given the newfound clarity from international courts on how climate litigation should be structured. However, they emphasize that a legal win is only the beginning.

“What is required is … greater systemic change than ever before,” the group said in a press release.

What’s weird is they never really want to say what that change is. I wonder why.

Fish Wrap: Neighbors Running Illegal Auto Shop, Worried About Turning Them In

By William Teach February 6, 2026 – 10:30 am

Why wouldn’t they turn them in? This is a letter to the Ethicist, a part of the NY Times I had no idea existed, and something no Fish Wrap writer should be allowed to be involved in

My Neighbors Are Running an Auto Shop in Their Driveway. What Should I Do?

double standardsAbout a year ago, a very nice family moved into the rental home next door. We have shared food and invited them to our pool in the summer, and we always exchange greetings from yard to yard.

About six months ago, the father’s auto-shop location apparently became unavailable. He and his mechanics now work on cars in their yard and driveway. At times, 15 cars line their driveway and fill the front yard, in obvious states of repair — hoods up, engines removed. This “shade tree” business practice is illegal in our city, and the number of cars and the manner in which they are parked violates city codes. We and our neighbors worry it’s driving down the property value of adjacent homes, and we plan to sell within a few years.

I’m uncomfortable raising this with the family because I doubt they can do much without losing income. Moving to a new garage would obviously be costly. And if I talk to them and the outcome is unsatisfactory, I’d be the obvious culprit for any report to the city. Our friendly terms would disappear.

I’m also reluctant to report because the family is from Venezuela. (They mentioned having green cards, though I never asked.) I’m afraid that even a code violation could draw attention from ICE, which has an aggressive, unpleasant presence in my city. Thoughts?

My first thought is that law enforcement or some city worker should have noticed this by now and done something. It’s pretty much illegal to be running an auto shop out of your home, particularly if it is a rental. But, the city might ignore a non-citizen doing this because it might attract the attention of federal authorities. They’d be on your ass if you were an American, you can bet that. Second, this is going to decrease the property values and could attract an unsavory crowd to the neighborhood. If these weren’t, most likely, refugees but US citizens it would have been reported, but, libtards are wackadoodle when it comes to non-citizens.

The “Ethicist” reply

You say that you don’t want to raise the issue with this family and harsh the neighborly vibe you enjoy. But what would really be unneighborly is failing to alert them. As things stand, anyone on your block could blow the whistle — either to the city (as a code violation) or to the landlord/property manager (as a lease violation). Looking out for the family means telling them that what they’re doing could invite scrutiny, so that they have a chance to head this off.

The “Ethicist” is recommending that the letter writer find a way around the law. Nice.

Bummer: Washington Post Gutted Its Climate (scam) Division

By William Teach February 6, 2026 – 7:00 am

Man, what a shame

From that Climate Colored Goggles link in the first tweet

The Washington Post produced some of America’s finest climate journalism over the last decade, aggressively covering President Trump’s regulatory rollbacks and winning a Pulitzer Prize for a series about Earth’s fastest-warming places. Alongside the New York Times and the Associated Press, I don’t think any U.S. news outlet published a greater volume of urgent, high-quality climate and clean energy coverage.

Everything changed on Wednesday morning.

The Post sent layoff notices to at least 14 climate journalists, newsroom sources told me, part of a massive round of cost-cutting that will see more than 300 journalists lose their jobs — about 30% of all employees at the Jeff Bezos-owned company.

The climate team layoffs include eight writer/reporters, an editor and several video, data and graphics journalists, I’m told. I’m not publishing their names, since many of them haven’t discussed their situations publicly. But to see the invaluable work they and their colleagues have been doing, check out the Post’s climate page here.

But, what are they really producing? How many articles? Anything of consequence? I rarely use the WP for my climate posts, and I rarely see any other Skeptics using their articles. Sounds like they are cutting a lot of bloat and dead weight. The WP is a business meant to make money, but are losing a ton because the product is bad.

LOL: Boston Mayor Thinks She Can Shield Boston From ICE With An EO

By William Teach February 6, 2026 – 6:45 am

Oh, honey child, bless your heart

Mayor Wu aims to shield Boston from federal immigration tactics through executive order

In the aftermath of heavy federal immigration enforcement nationwide, Mayor Michelle Wu signed an executive order Thursday to protect against unconstitutional and violent federal enforcement.

The order asserts that local police are obligated to protect residents, and says the city refuses to assist federal commandeering of local resources.

“We will not allow the birthplace of American democracy to be knocked off our path by those who have turned their backs on our founding principles,” Mayor Wu said during a press conference on Thursday at City Hall.

“An Executive Order To Protect Bostonians From Unconstitutional and Violent Federal Operations” also bans federal officials from using property owned by the city — including buildings, parks and parking lots — for their operations without a valid court order. Earlier Thursday, Worcester announced a similar order.

Is she trying to get a big operation to come to Boston? Because this is how you do it, by daring Trump and Homan. But, I wonder if they might hold off till it’s warmer out, after dealing with Minnesota in the winter.

Wu said the announcement today was in the “spirit of every Bostonian who refused to back down.”

“From the parents who led the school desegregation movement, to the immigrant activists who work every day to make Boston a home for everyone. We are standing tall, and we are standing together,” she said.

Refuse to back down from protesting enforcing federal law? Did this dipshit just compare illegal immigration to desegregation? I wouldn’t be surprised if Blacks came after her hard for that stupidity.

Carol Rose, executive director of the ACLU of Massachusetts, said it was heartening to see the collective solidarity of elected officials and leaders throughout the state on this order, demonstrating a “shared resolve to hold ICE to account.”

“We urge municipalities across Massachusetts to move quickly to implement protections like Boston’s, sending a unified message that ICE cannot act with impunity in this Commonwealth,” Rose said in a written statement. “We also call on state lawmakers to build upon the important immigration bills filed by Gov. Healey and the Black and Latino Legislative Caucus to enact strong, comprehensive law to keep all Massachusetts communities safe and free.”

Shouldn’t the ACLU be standing for Americans? ICE is doing the job as directed by laws passed by the duly elected legislative branch. Good luck with this. What Trump should do is announce that he won’t arrest illegals in Boston, at least for the time being, so that they stream into Beantown. Let Wu deal with the fallout. You know the Trump admin won’t be sending any federal money to help.

The Yutes Are Feeling Hopeless About Climate Doom

By William Teach February 5, 2026 – 3:57 pm

Do you think the CBC will come to the best solution? The reality solution? Or, something else?

Many kids feel hopeless about climate change. Here’s what helps

Despite being concerned about the high use of fossil fuels and non-renewable resources, 14-year-old Midu Nguyen remains hopeful that the world will take action on climate change.

To her, it’s all about perspective. She takes the same approach to it as she does to tests at school.

“If you have a test and you don’t want to study for it because you think you’re already going to fail it, then you will fail,” she said in an interview with CBC News.

“If you change that mindset and think, I will be able to change this, then I think you can really do that.”

But Nguyen is not a typical kid.

A 2023 study published in The Journal of Climate Change and Health found that at least 56 per cent of Canadian youth respondents feel afraid, sad, anxious and powerless when it comes to climate change. And 78 per cent reported that climate change impacts their overall mental health.

Those numbers are pretty concerning, are they not? They are a direct result of the news, scientists, politicians, teachers, etc, scaring the ever-lovin’ crap out of the kiddies, telling them the world is going to end because of a slight increase in the global temperature over 170 years, but, SOON! doom is coming. Is it any wonder they have these negative feeling? If a child is constantly ridiculed by their parents, made to feel afraid, anxious, worthless, etc, how are they going to grow up? Will they have mental health issues?

Maybe it’s high time to stop the scaremongering, to stop destroying the kiddies mental health

One way to shift that mindset is to talk about it.

Catherine Malboeuf-Hurtubise, a professor at Université Laval and a Canada research chair in art-based and existential interventions in youth mental health, says kids need to be included in conversations about climate, as they will be the ones suffering the most consequences of climate change.

“I think we underestimate their ability to understand, feel and make sense of what’s happening,” she said.

All that does is perpetuate their mental issues. Assholes. The adults who do this should all be taken to remote islands and dropped off with no way off for their child abuse.
