Sesame Street Runs Some Climate Doom Indoctrination

Can we not just let kids be kids?

Sesame Street Has A New Extreme Weather Episode. Here’s What Climate Experts Think

climate change joke

It’s been a summer of climate extremes—from record-breaking heat waves to deadly flash floods to a fire season that has seen a number of acres burned well above the 10-year average. Even Sesame Street, where sunny days once swept the clouds away, can’t seem to keep the storms at bay.

A new special, Storm on Sesame Street, which aired on Aug. 3, follows Elmo and friends as they work together to get ready for a big storm, and help rebuild in its aftermath. The episode was created to help kids better understand extreme weather as it becomes increasingly more frequent.

“Extreme weather is now a reality for many families, and young children need support they can understand and trust,” Joseph Giraldi, chief operating officer of Sesame Workshop, said in a press release. “With our Extreme Weather response initiative, we’re using the power of Sesame Street to help children prepare for what’s ahead, cope with big emotions during moments of disruption, and begin to recover afterward. From our new storm special to year?round resources and community outreach, this initiative reflects our commitment to showing up for children and families when they need it most.”

The episode provides an opening for adults to help prepare kids about what to expect during an extreme weather event—before it actually happens. Elmo and his father help hand out food and water to their neighbors, talk through the big emotions the storm brings up, and find ways to help their friends when the storm leaves Sesame Street unrecognizable.

Just leave the kids alone. Let them grow up.

TPS Officially Ends For Haitians

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

It’s wild how hard it is to end something with the word “temporary” in it

TPS for Haitians officially ends, putting thousands out of work and in limbo

A federal judge on Wednesday took the final step in allowing the Trump administration to terminate temporary protected status for 350,000 Haitians, meaning many are likely to lose their jobs and be at risk of deportation back to a country the United States says remains dangerous.

U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes of the District of Columbia had enjoined the administration in February from ending TPS for Haitians, and a federal appeals court had refused to lift the ban. Reyes reversed her decision after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in June that federal law bars judicial review of TPS determinations.

The high court’s ruling means TPS “is no longer in effect,” Reyes wrote in her new order Wednesday. However, the judge said she would allow attorneys to continue seeking discovery and litigating their underlying claims that the Trump administration terminated TPS because of their clients’ race.

The Supreme Court’s ruling left open a narrow path for TPS holders to challenge the loss of their status on constitutional grounds. An attorney representing the immigrants involved in the Supreme Court case said the team is considering filing a new lawsuit.

Oh, FFS. This sh*t is just going to keep going on and on, isn’t it? The Washington Post headline was exciting, then the article just let me down. Seriously, this is deranged. They’ve been here a long time, well beyond what’s reasonable. Why are other countries not taking them in?

Immigration experts said that even before Reyes’s amended ruling, companies had begun large-scale layoffs of Haitian TPS holders, who now face the possibility of detention and deportation. Another federal judge in New York is expected to soon allow the Trump administration to formally end TPS for an estimated 6,000 Syrians to comply with the Supreme Court.

About 200,000 Haitians with TPS hold jobs, with large concentrations of workers in health care, food service, warehousing, retail and long-term caregiving, according to an analysis of government data by the immigration advocacy group FWD.us. Business owners have been preparing for weeks by raising sign-on bonuses, cutting shifts and making inroads at community colleges and high schools to hire new staff, industry leaders said.

Well, there’s at least that.

Unsurprising: Democrat El-Sayed Back By Terrorism Supporters

By William Teach August 5, 2026 – 4:38 pm

I mean, no one is actually surprised by this in the least, are they?

El-Sayed campaign backed by over $100,000 from dozens of members of group with alleged terror ties

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign has collected more than $115,000 from individuals who work for or have held leadership roles with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and formally designated or labeled as such in Florida and Texas.

A Fox News Digital review found that El-Sayed, who has made getting “money out of politics” a central campaign rallying cry, has accepted donations from at least 41 individuals who either work for CAIR, formerly worked for CAIR, or have served in leadership positions with the organization.

The donor list includes several of CAIR’s highest-ranking officials, including national Board Chair Manal Fakhoury, national Board Treasurer Eyas Abdeen, national Vice Chair Emad Sabbah, and CAIR-Michigan board member Jukaku Tayeb, El-Sayed’s father-in-law.

Tayeb has been one of the largest financial backers of the super PAC supporting El-Sayed’s campaign and is also part of the founding committee of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a group linked to Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood funding, Washington Free Beacon first reported.

One donor, CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad, listed in FEC records under the name Nehad Hammad, drew national condemnation after saying he was “happy” to see Hamas break out of Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023, and arguing Israel “does not have the right to self-defense” as an occupying power.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a lot more with ties to Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, etc, people who despise Jews and want them killed and Israel wiped off the map. And, let’s be honest, if all this was known prior to the election Democrats still would have voted for Islamist El-Sayed to be their Senate nominee. There are so many that are simply batshit crazy that they support candidates who hate Jews, hate Israel, hate the United States, support Islamic extremism and terrorism, etc.

Canadian Woman Who Attacked Kids In NJ Ordered Deportered

By William Teach August 5, 2026 – 10:30 am

Remember this crazy leftist?

Well

Canadian who battered patriotic teen on NJ boardwalk ordered deported — as she downplays caught-on-camera attack

She’s gotta maple-leave!

The lefty Canadian illegal immigrant who attacked a teen in patriotic clothing on a New Jersey boardwalk is getting the boot back to Canuck.

A Texas immigration judge ordered Kaitlyn Tracey to be deported back to her home country Tuesday – before the teen slapper entered a guilty plea on an assault charge stemming from the Fourth of July weekend brawl at Point Pleasant boardwalk, a courtroom heard.

Tracey, 33 – who attended a criminal court hearing in Toms River over the phone from a Texas ICE lockup – only copped to one count of simple assault, a misdemeanor, as part of a cushy plea deal.

Besides exile to Canada, she was sentenced to one day behind bars – though she was granted time served since she spent time in jail in Ocean County last month.

Assaulting a juvenile apparently gets you a slap on the wrist.

How and when Tracey will be transported back to Canada and whether she will ever be permitted to return to the US wasn’t immediately clear – though her banishment is expected to last “for a very long time,” Judge Ryan said during her sentencing.

My big question is “how long will it take to deport her? Will she and leftist groups file all sorts of Crazy with the courts in an attempt to keep her from being deported?” They can’t claim asylum from Canada, right?

Earth Is A “Climate War Zone” Or Something

By William Teach August 5, 2026 – 7:15 am

Remember when many leading Warmists said “we need to tone it down, stop being so nutty”? Well, as I said, good luck with that!

We launched a war on nature. Now we are in a climate war zone

Far beyond the fires raging across Europe and North America, the smoke, dangerous to breathe, hangs in the air, dimming the view, changing the very color of sunlight into something grimly unsettling.

An estimated 20,000 are said to have died in the extreme heat in Europe earlier this year, and heat is climate change’s quiet killer, compared with the dramatic violence of death by fire or flood. In eastern Washington, 600 homes have just burned down, and in both Europe and North America, firefighters have died in the effort to contain the climate-fueled firestorms.

Did Rebecca Solnit miss that they just arrested a guy for arson in that Washington fire? This UK Guardian screed was published Tuesday, after the arrest

Once, across much of the the world’s temperate zones, we looked forward to summer as a time of delights, from summer’s bounty of fruits, long days, warmth, school holidays, activities like camping and swimming, travel and adventure. Now many of us dread it.

Summer was the sweet season celebrated in poetry and song, often pictured as a gentle goddess; now it is too often a threat and a misery. All this makes me think of Bill McKibben’s 2011 book Eaarth, a proposal that we can understand climate change as equivalent to moving to a more perilous, unwelcoming planet than the gentle, stable one we evolved over the 12,000 years since the last ice age.

Things change. Weather is not always perfect. Averages are created by highs and lows, by it being unusually hot and unusually cold.

I’ve driven to New Mexico almost every summer since 1989. A few years ago, I found that I feared heat for the first time: the temperature in Needles, a California desert town on the Colorado River near the Arizona border, was going to be 116F (46.6C). I didn’t know if my car could survive temperatures like that, and I feared what survival would look like for me if the air-conditioned car broke down on the highway. (I managed it by staying on the edge of the Mojave Desert the night before and darting across the low desert to Flagstaff, which at 7,000ft elevation stays cooler, and pressing on to New Mexico the next day.)

I’m in New Mexico now, as I write, enjoying the beauties of its incomparable skies and summer thunderstorms, but 37 summers since I started coming, summer is not what it used to be. It’s hotter.

So, taking lots of fossil fueled vehicle trips, eh?

It’s as if we launched a war against nature, and that has turned place after place into something that resembles a war zone. The climate movement is a peace movement, a movement to end this war and its casualties.

These people really are unhinged.

Haitians Booted From TPS Getting Ankle Monitors

By William Teach August 5, 2026 – 7:00 am

It’s wild that the government can’t simply just boot foreigners, instead having to resort to measures like this to keep track of the aliens

Some Haitian immigrants in Ohio told to report to ICE and given ankle monitors

Hundreds of Haitian immigrants in Ohio who had Temporary Protected Status have been summoned by the Department of Homeland Security for in-person “check-ins” with the agency, where some have been fitted with ankle monitors, immigration advocates tell ABC News.

The move from the government comes after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that the Trump administration could end TPS for about 350,000 Haitians, as part of the administration’s ongoing immigration crackdown.

Steve Foster, the immigration policy coordinator for the Institute for Justice and Democracy in Haiti, said “Haitians with TPS, regardless of whether they have a pending asylum claim, have gotten a ‘DHS Call-In Letter’ to appear at ICE offices in person.”

Some have been given ankle monitors and future court dates, Foster said.

Viles Dorsainvil, executive director of a Haitian support group in Springfield, Ohio, confirmed the government’s effort to call Haitians in Ohio with TPS into ICE offices and fit some of them with ankle monitors.

This is to keep them from disappearing when they are told they will be repatriated to Haiti

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said, “Temporary Protected Status is exactly that — temporary. For too long, TPS has been allowed to function as a de facto amnesty program despite Congress never intending it to be permanent.”

“What we would say now is it’s closing time, which means you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here,” the statement said.

Of course, some are now playing games to try and get asylum, because the asylum system is completely broken.

Washington Post Gives The Democrat Ideas On Confronting Climate Doom

By William Teach August 4, 2026 – 3:41 pm

Well, they’re usually about taking more taxes, charging higher fees, limiting freedom and life choices, and forcing Other People to live a certain way

The democratic approach to confronting climate change

“Everybody talks about the weather,” the old quip goes, “but nobody does anything about it.” People, in other words, complain endlessly about realities beyond their control.

Today, we know that we do influence the weather and can do something about it. The decisions we each make every day, particularly how we use energy, influence whether the weather becomes more extreme.

Natural disasters, from floods and wildfires to tornadoes and deadly heat waves, dominate the evening news. Big disasters — those with damages of at least $1 billion — have increased 83 percent worldwide since the 1990s. Last year, there were 23, the third highest number since 1980. They caused 276 deaths and $115 billion in damages.

Well, yeah, things cost a fuckton more than they used to

One leader is the Climate Democracy Initiative, a Colorado-based nonprofit where I am an unpaid senior fellow. It argues that climate change is a governance problem as well as an environmental crisis, especially in small and rural communities with limited resources. They must deal with extreme weather while contending with uncertain federal help and fragmented government programs.

“Governance problem.” Color me shocked

“Our goal is flipping that script to put local voices first,” the initiative’s executive director, Natalie Montecino, explains. “People are contending with rapid environmental, economic, and political changes without the resources, representation, or institutional trust needed to respond. We work with communities to build the civic leadership and decision-making power to shape that response themselves, rather than wait on systems that too often leave them behind.”

And the climate cult nags are there to tell the Government how to crack down on the peasants

In other words, environmental stewardship and climate action become exercises in local democracy. Local action is necessary because while federal help is essential, it is not always reliable. Climate change is a forever crisis, but elected leaders and their priorities keep changing.

Are you getting the idea? I’ve been discussing this for 22 years, and one of the major things that switched me from a lower case believer to a Skeptic is the notion of Government controlling everything. That’s, at a minimum, lower case authoritarianism.

Narrative Fail: Washington Man Arrested For Arson

By William Teach August 4, 2026 – 10:30 am

Yet again, a wildfire is arson

Washington man arrested on arson charge tied to devastating Spokane wildfire

A Washington state man was arrested Monday on a first-degree arson charge in connection with the Old Trails Fire, one of several wildfires that have destroyed hundreds of structures and forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate the Spokane area, authorities said.

Aaron F. Farinacci, 37, was taken into custody after Spokane County Sheriff’s Office detectives and Washington Department of Natural Resources investigators developed probable cause to arrest him, according to the sheriff’s office.

Citizen tips and information from Airway Heights police officers and Spokane County sheriff’s deputies who responded to the initial call and conducted evacuations helped lead investigators to Farinacci, the sheriff’s office said.

Authorities described Farinacci as a convicted felon from Arizona but said they had found no documented criminal history involving fires.

They were blaming this all on ‘climate change’. I guess not. Of course, now they’ll just say the fire was “made worse” from the climate crisis.

So, he’s a wacko that should probably be in jail, but, nutters in Arizona let him go.

The three fires had collectively destroyed at least 700 structures and prompted evacuation orders affecting approximately 67,000 people as of Monday, according to The Associated Press. More than 1,000 firefighters were battling the blazes.

Many people are wondering about the area where it was started, which is near where a data center was going to be built, and we know how Democrats have been scaremongering against them, going well beyond opposition.
