Colorado Is Having Climate Horror Or Something

By William Teach July 23, 2026 – 3:16 pm

Climate doom is here, guys!

Climate horrors in Colorado are no longer just a threat. They’ve arrived.
We’re moving from a period of climate warnings to one of consequences

climate doom yearly

Wait, I don’t have global heating on here?

For a long time the premise of climate news was that humans are causing the planet to warm, and without emergency action, environmental disaster would result.

That’s changing. Increasingly the premise is that humans failed to take the climate crisis seriously and environmental disaster is here. It’s wrecking the land. It’s eliminating habitats. It’s hurting people. It’s killing people.

And it will only get worse.

The basis for this shift is all too evident in Colorado, where warming and aridification is fundamentally altering the nature of the state. Water is scarce. Fires burn with new intensity. Mountain snows are retreating. Burn scars don’t recover like they used to.

Decades of warnings about what climate change would bring largely went unheeded. We’ve crossed into a new epoch, in which predictions are giving way to facts on the ground. Scientific studies chart the transition, including two that became available in recent weeks.

So why didn’t the People’s Republic Of Colorado ban all fossil fueled vehicles? Shut down the airport? Do away with natural gas for energy? End farming for animals? And so much more?

This whole “climate doom is here!!!!!” has become a regular cult talking point of late, such as

We’re still waiting on the Arctic to be ice free and Manhattan under water, though.

AOC Blasted For Her Lies Over Defense Bill, Called Anti-Semitic

By William Teach July 23, 2026 – 10:30 am

It’s nice to see that Republicans, at least some, are finally realizing that they can, in fact, play Hardball Politics

AOC roasted over defense bill claim as GOP lawmaker tells her to ‘stop stoking Jew hatred’

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., came under fire after claiming the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would “merge parts of our military with the Israel Defense Forces,” drawing accusations that she distorted what the legislation actually does.

The fight centers on Section 219 of the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act, a provision that calls for deeper U.S.-Israel defense integration through expanded cooperation on military technology, supply chains, research, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and joint exercises.

On Wednesday, the House passed its version of the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act in a 219-206 vote, leaving Section 219 intact.

But ahead of the vote, Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X that the NDAA “includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF.”

“This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy,” she wrote. “Every member of Congress must vote NO.”

She’s a dope. Also, like so many of her far left Democrat Comrades, she hates Israel, and that Israel hatred morphs into Jew hatred

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin called the claim “FALSE,” accusing the congresswoman of misrepresenting the bill.

“Instead of merging the part of your brain that hates Jews with the part of your brain concocting your daily lies, you should try merging the part of your brain responsible for reading bill text with the part of your brain responsible for critical thinking,” Zeldin wrote on X.

Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., similarly blasted Ocasio-Cortez, calling her to “stop stoking Jew hatred.”

“Good grief, you are either obtuse or intentionally lying. We are not merging our military with the IDF,” Lawler wrote.

More should be pointing out the Jew hatred emanating from Democrats. Just to reiterate, so many learn initially to criticize Israel, which comes from left wing teachers in school, especially college, as pushed by the Muslim Brotherhood backed Muslim Student Association, which is full of Islamic extremists. That turns into hatred of Israel, and, then, just as the MSA wants, hatred of Jews. Heck, lots of Jews find themselves in this trap, like lots of white Democrats find themselves hating on whites. Some Jews get it, though

REPORT: Jewish Democrat Donors Plan to Bankroll Republican if El-Sayed Wins Primary

Jewish Democrat donors in Metro Detroit are planning fundraisers for presumptive Republican nominee Mike Rogers as a “hedge” should far-left Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed win Michigan’s August 4 Democrat primary, according to a report published Monday.

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported that several prominent Metro Detroit Jews who have long raised money for Democrats are preparing fundraisers for the former congressman, while others plan to help him outright if El-Sayed takes the nomination, one person close to Rep. Haley Stevens’ (D-MI) campaign said.

Dennis Bernard, national chair of government relations for the nonpartisan Jewish Federations of North America and a Metro Detroit resident, said those donors have made their position clear should El-Sayed prevail.

“There are leaders in our Jewish community who are longtime, lifelong Democrats and Democratic fundraisers, who are very concerned with where their party’s going,” Bernard said. “And if this is the case, they’ve made it clear, both financially and with their vote, that they would support Mike Rogers in the event El-Sayed wins the primary.”

“This is a truly once-in-a-lifetime moment where you have to become a single-issue voter,” he said. “And that issue is antisemitism, our Judaism, and Israel. This is where you put party third: our people first, our country second.”

It doesn’t have to be single issue, because Islamic extremists like El-Sayed also hate America and want to institute Islamic extremism in the US. He’s a stealth candidate, pretending to be a far, far left wacko, but, he represents Islamic extremism. And, perhaps some Jews are finally starting to take note of whom Democrats really are.

There’s also this

Far-left ‘Squad’ Dems mix up Jewish colleagues in botched attack — then get burned by their own votes
Lee, Omar attack moderate Dem before mix-up and voting record derail argument

They tried to go after moderate Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-N.J., but, confused him with Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, because, apparently, all Jews look the same.

Mayor Of Rochester, Mn, Wants Other People To Pay For “Carbon Pollution”

By William Teach July 23, 2026 – 7:15 am

Are all the mayors in Minnesota so worthless and wackadoodle?

Rochester mayor: Minnesota cities can’t carry the cost of climate change alone

As mayor of Rochester, I’m proud of the work we are doing locally to address climate change and promote sustainability. But as Minnesotans swelter through this recent heat wave and suffer from terrible air quality, I’m reminded that cities cannot carry the costs of climate change alone.

Much of our state was under an extreme heat warning last week and into this week, and temperatures are expected to spike again later this week. Temperatures are reaching the upper 90s with oppressive humidity. This kind of heat doesn’t let up when the sun goes down. It gives little chance for our homes to cool down, and provides little respite for our public infrastructure.

Cities like Rochester face mounting costs when extreme heat strikes, posing a health emergency for our residents and an all-hands-on-deck response from city staff. We operate public buildings and transportation systems that become critical cooling centers when families need them most. We maintain streets, pipes, utilities and water systems that are stressed by high temperatures, humidity and extreme rainfalls that come with our more volatile weather.

You should start with banning all fossil fueled vehicles and air conditioning. Oh, and any heating that comes from natural gas.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Lawmakers should hold these companies accountable and create a climate superfund to help local governments prepare for climate change.

One idea worth serious consideration is creating a climate superfund which would require fossil fuel polluters to pay to clean up the mess they knowingly caused. It would give state and local governments money to adapt to the changing climate, while limiting the burden on Minnesota families.

Cities will continue to do our part. Rochester will continue to cut emissions where we can, conserve energy and grow our tree canopy. We’ll continue working toward making our community a healthier, more sustainable place for our kids and grandkids to live.

Well, hey, maybe you should shut down Rochester International Airport, eh? But, good luck on the polluter pays thing, because they are already being shot down in court, and, get this, people like you, mayor Kim Norton, would actually be polluters per climate cult dogma.

Oh Noes: Illegal Aliens Can Either Pay Massive Fines Or Self Deport

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

This has the NY Times pretty upset (this link seems to work to strip the paywall)

The Choice Facing Some Immigrants: Pay $1.8 Million in Fines or Leave

The Trump administration is aggressively deploying a potent tool to pressure undocumented immigrants into self-deporting — civil fines that can total as much as $1.8 million.

More than 100,000 people have received letters from the Homeland Security Department informing them that they owe $998 for each day that they have stayed in the United States after an immigration judge has ruled they have no legal right to remain in the country.

Fines for failing to heed a “removal” order have been permitted since the passage of immigration legislation in 1996. Until President Trump, however, no commander in chief had imposed such penalties. The effort to do so in his first term ran into logistical obstacles and never gained traction.

But after returning to the White House last year and starting his mass deportation campaign, Mr. Trump ordered “all appropriate action to ensure the assessment and collection of all fines and penalties” from people unlawfully in the country.

Now, with the administration seeking to increase financial pressure on undocumented immigrants, the pace of fines has been accelerating, according to immigration lawyers.

For immigrants who receive one, the notices amount to an agonizing ultimatum: abandon the lives they have built, or face the threat of financial ruin if the government moves to collect on the debt. Even under a five-year statutory limit, the accumulated penalties can reach a $1.8 million per person.

OK, so, let’s say I built a life hiding on the property of a NY Times bigwig, and eventually get caught: are they going to let me stay on their land? Let’s say I build a cabin in the middle of a national forest, will they let me stay? Of course not. Will the Elites let me squat and build a life at their McMansions by the sea? Nope.

Many people have “built lives” after committing crimes, and, the cops and legal system do not allow them to go back to those lives when they are caught. The best thing for these illegals to do is simply leave.

Vivi Vasquez, a Mexican immigrant, has lived in the United States for 17 years and has an active humanitarian visa application. With a work permit, she has legally worked at a convenience store and cared for seniors.

Expecting an update on her visa application, Ms. Vasquez opened an envelope that arrived in April bearing a D.H.S. logo. Instead of news about her visa, she found a form letter in which the government had checked a box next to a statement that she had “willfully” failed to depart the United States.

She owed the government $1,820,352, according to the document, which was reviewed by The New York Times. Tucked in the same envelope was a flier titled, “Self-Deport with CBP Home and Leave on Your Own Terms,” referring to an app run by Customs and Border Protection. It offered “forgiveness” for all fines to those who used the app to self deport.

“I couldn’t sleep, and I was nervous every morning I left home for work,” said Ms. Vasquez, who has three U.S.-born children, ages 10, 12 and 14.

And scaring illegal aliens, causing them to self deport is the point. The Trump admin knows there’s no way they will get that money, they just want the illegals to go.

Your Fault: Hotcoldwetdry Can Spawn (unrecorded) Tornadoes In Ukraine

By William Teach July 22, 2026 – 3:30 pm

Considering the war raging in Ukraine, maybe this is the last thing they should be worried about

Climate change is increasing tornado risk in Ukraine

Due to global warming, the conditions for tornado formation in Ukraine are becoming increasingly favorable.

Their formation is aided by a sharp temperature contrast: after prolonged heat, cold air breaches into Ukraine, triggering strong convection, Mammatus clouds form, which initiate the rotation of mesocyclones.

As a result, the geographic reach of tornadoes is expanding – in recent years they are seen more and more often in Kyiv Oblast, Rivne Oblast, Ternopil Oblast, and Lviv Oblast.

According to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center, 90% of tornadoes in Ukraine go unnoticed and are officially not registered. They sweep over sparsely populated settlements, forests or fields, leaving behind fallen trees that are detected by satellites.

Here’s video of them

Oh, sorry, wrong one

Ukrainians are so worried about the unnoticed tornadoes (and war) that they built a new luxury ski resort up near the Poland border.

Oh, and tornadoes have always happened in Ukraine, and there is nothing unusual about warming during a Holocene warm period

Some In Congress Upset IRS Will Charge Spain’s World Cup Winning Team Millions

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

They’re seriously upset over the IRS enforcing law that Congress has passed

IRS in the hot seat over potential cash grab from Spain’s World Cup winnings: ‘It’s a rip-off’

As reigning 2026 FIFA World Cup champions, Spain won $50 million in prize money, but a large portion of that could be subject to federal taxes in the United States — potentially up to 30%.

“I think it’s a rip-off,” Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., told Fox News Digital.

“I’m not a fan of it, but Americans have to do it. American professional athletes do it, so they knew that when they came over here.”

Income earned from activities performed in America is generally, in almost all instances, taxable by the IRS. Under tax law in the U.S., certain payments to nonresident foreign athletes are generally subject to a 30% federal withholding unless reduced by a tax treaty or a different exception.

“It’s wrong, and that kind of highlights something bigger,” Rep. Jonathan Jackson, D-Ill., said about the potential high tax rate on Spain’s prize.

Why is it wrong? American sports teams pay all that tax when they get paid for winning big games. Also when for things like college bowl games. Competing in golf tournaments. And so forth

Burchett argued the potential tax burden sends the wrong message as the U.S. prepares to host more major international sporting events, saying the country should be encouraging foreign athletes and visitors to spend money domestically rather than subjecting them to steep tax obligations.

Well, pretty much every other nation taxes the winners, as well.

Jackson (D) also criticized the broader U.S. tax code, arguing that corporations should be paying more in taxes rather than workers. He referred to it as a “classic example of what’s wrong with our taxation system.”

“They should be paying the taxes as opposed to having tax loopholes,” Jackson said. “The people, the laborers that are working, they should not have to pay 30% of their income on taxes.”

That has whatfuckall to do with soccer teams being taxed under US code as passed by Congress? He does know he can introduce legislation, right? But, hey, let’s follow what Jackson is saying and reduce the federal tax burden for the the middle and working class down to 7%, leave corporate taxes exactly where they are, because, as most know, federal taxes just get passed on to consumers. Say, I wonder if Jackson and his brother paid full taxation when they owned River North Sales and Service, LLC in Chicago, an Anheuser-Busch distributor, or take advantage of “loopholes” in the tax code? Did they pay their workers a livable wage?

I know it’s just three members of Congress (Rep. Burgess Owens, R-Utah is also mentioned), but, they can all submit legislation if they do not like this. They can all try and reform the tax code.

Credentialed Media Upset Trump Blames Canada For Wildfires And Not Climate Doom

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

I’ll admit, there was no need to really blame Canada in this manner, but, hey, they’re unhinged eco-wacko/climate cultist forest management policies were stupid, just like with California

Trump blames Canada for wildfires, but scientists point to climate change

President Trump and other Republicans are blaming Canada for wildfires whose smoke has choked parts of the U.S. in recent days. Experts from both countries told The Hill that climate change is the real culprit.

Experts, people, Expert!

“We are holding Canada responsible for the fact that they are not properly maintaining their Forests, and Brush therein, and the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and totally unacceptable!” Trump wrote on social media last week.

“This is Willful Negligence, and becoming a yearly occurrence, costing the United States Billions of Dollars, which cost of this pollution must of necessity be added to the TARIFFS Canada is currently paying,” he added.

On Sunday, the president again floated tariffs over the fires, saying, “If we can help them, we’ll help them. But maybe they should pay us some damages or something, or we should do some tariffs.”

Yeah, that’s the part that’s unnecessary

Meanwhile, wildfire experts from both sides of the border said this week that Canada’s forest management practices are not to blame, and that in reality, climate change is driving conditions that make wildfires more frequent and intense.

Experts described many of the fires as being in a remote, difficult-to-access part of Canada, meaning they go unmanaged but added that’s not abnormal. (snip)

“It’s very natural for these forests to go through fire cycles … these forests periodically do burn, but the burning and the fires today are much more severe because these super-annual variations in dryness are much more amplified because of changes in climate,” he added.

It’s always something with these nuts.

Appeals Court Overturns Wacko Judge’s Release Of Mohsen Mahdawi

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

It’s always great when liberal judges like to protect foreigners who hate the US and Jews even when they have no legal standing to do so

Appeals court overturns release order for foreign student arrested in Vermont

A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled a judge erred in ordering the release of Mohsen Mahdawi, whose arrest at his naturalization interview became a flash point in the Trump administration’s crackdown on foreign students.

Last year, the district judge found the administration was likely targeting Mahdawi, a Palestinian green-card holder and Columbia University student, for his protected speech about the Israel-Hamas war.

In its Tuesday decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit ruled that federal law barred the courts from getting involved so soon.

“We conclude that the district court should not have reached this question,” U.S. Circuit Judge Debra Ann Livingston wrote for the panel.

It’s a major win for the administration, which has targeted foreign students who’ve criticized Israel and fought back against legal challenges in part by arguing that judges have limited jurisdiction to second-guess the crackdown.

This “student”, who was 35 at the time and seemed to spend all his time protesting in favor of Hamas and demonizing Israel and Jews, was ordered deported by Sec Of State Rubio as a threat to foreign policy. He now has a final order of deportation, and NICE can scoop Mahdawi up and detain him. But, he can still appeal being deportation, which is insane that foreigners can stay in the US for years instead of just being booted.

But Mahdawi’s lawyers at the American Civil Liberties Union warned that without review in the meantime, he won’t have any remedy to stop the government from detaining him.

“Today’s decision is a grave setback, although I am confident justice will ultimately prevail,” Mahdawi said in a statement. “It reflects a dangerous failure under political pressure, one that risks turning the federal courts into instruments of politics rather than guardians of constitutional freedom.”

See, you have crazy people protecting a Hamas supporter, so, he can stick around for years unlike most other illegals.
