HuffPost Has Ironic Meltdown After Trump Attacks Newsom

Do people not understand this is what he does? That he calls people “simply the most destructive and damaging individual in my lifetime”? That he mocks people’s weight? Calls people loser? Calls people broken? Oh, wait, those are just a few bits of Newsom’s attacks on Trump

Trump Ripped After ‘Blatant And Disgusting’ Attack On Gavin Newsom

President Donald Trump is facing new criticism on Wednesday for an attack on California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) that many say went beyond the pale.

Trump mocked Newsom for having dyslexia, a common learning disability that makes it difficult to read. During a speech in Kentucky, Trump said Newsom ? who he called “Newscum” ? had “admitted he has mental problems, that he’s not a smart person, that he is mental, a mental lack of ability, he’s unable to read a speech, he can’t read, and all of the other things he said, he said has a lot of mental problems.”

Yeah yeah yeah. Gavin responded in kind, so, why would it be Trump being ripped? BTW, who was ripping him, other than Huffpost? But, if it’s bad to attack Newsom for his supposed dyslexia, that where’s the HuffPost in attacking these Democrats?

However, Trump has faced renewed questions about his cognitive abilities and overall health, especially since returning to the White House last year. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) and Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) have each, in separate appearances, accused Trump of having dementia.

“This is a man who’s suffering dementia,” Pritzker told the Chicago Tribune in October, while Gallego said Trump “clearly has some kind of dementia” at around the same time.

Rather ironic, eh, that HuffPost is ripping Trump while including attacks on Trump for? And literally spends the rest of the piece dropping Tweets attacking Trump.

Seriously, how many times has Trump been called or compared to Hitler? Called a Fascist?

UN “Experts” Totally Want To Pass A Resolution On Tackling Hotcoldwetdry

Are these the same people that take long fossil fueled flights to climate conferences?

UN experts support resolution confirming member states’ obligations to tackle climate change

UN experts urged member states on Thursday to support the General Assembly (UNGA) resolution endorsing the  advisory opinion issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last year, which mandates that states comply with their legal obligations to mitigate climate change. The statement comes amid concerns over attempts to obstruct discussion of the proposal.

The experts stressed the urgent need to support the UNGA draft resolution, noting that studies indicate that the 1.5°C limit on global temperature rise could be exceeded by 2029. The risk is compounded by recurrent climate-related disasters, including cyclones, hurricanes, and floods, affecting multiple regions worldwide. The experts stressed that the resolution is grounded in the ICJ advisory opinion, which itself is based on internationally binding sources of law aimed at preventing further climate harm and impacts of climate change on societies and human lives.

Furthermore, they highlighted that the draft resolution would provide a collaborative approach for states to fulfil their obligations in alignment with the Paris Agreement, specifically limiting global warming to well below 1.5°C, peaking greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing climate change adaptation, and mobilizing climate finance. They added that the resolution would complement the Paris Agreement Loss and Damage Fund, which is a specialized fund established to assist vulnerable developing nations in covering the costs of destruction caused by climate-related disasters.

However, the experts expressed concerns about attempts to block the resolution’s adoption, emphasizing that countries should see it as an opportunity for international cooperation to address the climate crisis. Finally, they concluded that the UNGA resolution would pave the way for multilateral action to protect the right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment, thereby ensuring peace and the enjoyment of all human rights for current and future generations.

In other words, they want to create a pathway for even more UN control over nations. Do the citizens of those sovereign nations agree with this? When do the people associated with the UN make their own lives carbon neutral? Perhaps we can make the UN building carbon neutral by shutting the power off?

Bummer: 8 Antifa Wackos Convicted Over Shooting At Immigration Detention Center

The subhead for this NBC “News” article is a doozy, which is also repeated later in the screed

8 people convicted over shooting at a Texas immigration detention center
The trial was closely watched beyond the courtroom as some legal experts and critics called it a test of the lengths the government can go to punish protesters.

Huh what? They were involved in a criminal conspiracy. They were not protesting. They were violent. Is government NOT supposed to prosecute law breakers if they are friendly to The Cause of Democrats?

A federal jury on Friday convicted eight people on terrorism charges over a shooting at a Texas immigration facility that federal prosecutors tied to antifa, the far-left movement that has become a target of the Trump administration.

Jurors also handed down guilty verdicts on other charges, including attempted murder against one member of the group who prosecutors say opened fire last summer outside the Prairieland Detention Center near Dallas, wounding a police officer who was shot in the neck.

Sentencing was set for June.

Maybe they should have tried this in a state with friendly judges, because, this isn’t ending well for the nuts

FBI Director Kash Patel has called the Texas case the first time a material support to terrorism charge has targeted people accused of being antifa members.

Short for “anti-fascists,” antifa is not a single organization but rather an umbrella term for far-left-leaning militant groups that confront or resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists at demonstrations.

Wait, wait, did NBC just admit Antifa exists?

Prosecutor Shawn Smith told jurors during closing arguments that the group’s actions — including bringing firearms, first aid kids and wearing body armor — were all signals of the group’s intent. He said they practiced “antifa tactics,” and were “obsessed with operational security.”

“This was not a peaceful protest, this was a direct action,” Smith said.

Attorneys for the defendants have said there was no planned ambush and that protesters who brought firearms only did so for their own protection.

Protection from whom? Who was going to attack them randomly? Anyway, the jury said “you’re guilty!” Have fun in federal jail. I doubt it they’ll end up in a low or minimal penitentiary. There are 2 medium security in Texas. Or, will they get sent somewhere else that’s maximum? Which could be bad, since so many of these Antifa wackos are upper middle class to affluent class kiddies.

Let’s not forgot, for all the attempts to paint the Comrades as participating in free speech and protest, the same news outlet, and lefty wackos, cheered for the FBI to hunt down ever single person who peacefully wandered around the Capitol Bldg on J6, not hurting anyone, no violence, they were let in by security, and peacefully left.

St. Greta Is Upset Over Lack Of Oil In Cuba

Seriously, how did so many yutes get so broken? St. Greta went from a full blown Grand Poobah in the Cult of Climastrology to hating on Israel and Jews while supporting Islamic extremists and terrorists who would gladly slit her throat to no simping for Cuba

At this point is she being brainwashed or is she the one indoctrinating all the yutes who initially followed her Fridays For The Future climate bullshit?

Meanwhile, here’s the reliably batshit insane The Bulwark and Catherine Rampell

How Trump’s Iran War Could Actually Worsen Climate Change

TRUMP’S WAR OF CHOICE with Iran has many costs—in dollars, munitions, lives. But you could imagine at least one possible upside: climate.

This global oil crisis has again highlighted the riskiness of dependence on fossil fuels and the relative resilience of renewable energy. After all, naval blockades can stop oil tankers from traversing a narrow strait but they can’t keep the sun from shining or the wind from blowing.

And what of China deciding it will no longer dump solar panels and wind turbines on the market at below realistic prices? Or when the night comes, the wind doesn’t blow/blows too hard?

But, at least in the short term, it’s likely wrong. Instead, a sustained oil disruption could end up shattering the world’s attempts to curb climate change. That’s because it’s screwing up Europe’s ambitious climate plans, which are A) much more important than anything the United States is doing, and B) basically holding the global climate effort together.

LOL. Not long after this the rest is for “paid subscribers”, all 20 of them. Let’s not forget at all that the Trump deranged people who founded The Bulwark were all neocons and warhawks who loved nation building and spreading war for the sake of it.

Common Dreams has noted Bill’s BS, that he has advocated for attacking Iran for most of this century. As does Open. And Bill deleted every single tweet before 2025 that mentions Iran. But, hey, now Bill’s Bad Orange Man (they actually use the term) outlet is playing the climate doom card in respect to Iran get blown up.

NPR Seems Upset That Medicaid Data Shared With ICE Spreads Fear

Why would any illegal be afraid when NPR and other Democrats tell us that illegal aliens are not getting Medicaid?

Medicaid can share data with ICE. Here’s how that 180-degree change spreads fear

For decades, people applying for Medicaid were told their personal information — including their names, addresses and immigration status — would not be used for immigration enforcement.

But a December court ruling changed that. And that change has sent ripples of fear through families and communities.

“My daughter’s life depends on Medicaid,” says P., who asked that NPR identify her by her first initial only.

P. and her family have legal immigration status, but she fears that the health insurance keeping her medically fragile daughter alive could also put her family at risk of being detained or deported by immigration authorities.

What’s the legal status? Might have been important to know. Also, would have been Journalism 101. Is it a legal status which would allow Medicaid? Or one which wouldn’t? If she has in-between maybe status like being a (fake) asylum seeker, well, the government should know where she is, right?

For decades Medicaid promised eligible immigrants they wouldn’t share information with immigration authorities. It was even explicitly written on government websites. Those commitments are no longer on the Medicaid website.

The promise was meant to assure eligible immigrants “to feel comfortable that they can access their care without fear of putting their immigration status into jeopardy,” says Cindy Mann, who oversaw Medicaid during the Obama administration and now works at the legal and consulting firm Manatt Health.

Mann calls the change, which the Trump administration began quietly last year, a “180-degree reversal of longstanding policy.”

Policy, not law. And the objective is to catch illegals who are not eligible.

Twenty-two states have sued to stop federal health agencies from sharing Medicaid data with the Department of Homeland Security, including Arizona, Michigan and New Jersey. At the moment, following the December ruling in federal court in San Francisco, Medicaid can share names, addresses and other identifying information for people who are in the country unlawfully with immigration officials. In the remaining 28 states including Texas, Kentucky and Utah, there are no limits on what Medicaid data can be shared with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other entities.

Really, ICE and other officials aren’t concerned with those who are eligible, but, those who aren’t. And want to create fear in the states who give Medicaid to the illegals who aren’t eligible. Fear with the government employees who are approving illegals to get Medicaid. Fear with the illegals who want to apply because the liberal states give them Medicaid but could now lead to Los Federales catching them.

Will New York Relent On Their Climate (scam) Goals As Energy Skyrockets?

It’s bad enough that even PBS noticed

Are changes coming to New York’s climate law?

A recent state memo is creating a political tempest over New York’s ambitious climate change law.

The New York State Energy Development and Research Authority, or NYSERDA, estimates a speedy transition to non-carbon energy sources could hike upstate residents’ electric bills by thousands of dollars a year.

Republicans pointed to the memo as a sign of failed policy. Gov. Kathy Hochul wants to delay the law. Environmentalists see it as a huge setback in the fight against climate change.

It is a failed policy. But, the Elites do not care, because their lives aren’t really harmed. How many of the “environmentalists” actually live in NY? Hochul? She just wants to play games through the next election.

But now, Gov. Kathy Hochul said she wants to adjust that timeline, in the name of affordability.

“I’ve said for a long time, affordability is my number one priority,” she said. “We’re seeing now that people are reeling under the effects of policies that could not have been foreseen in 2019 when this was passed.”

Hochul blames the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions and the Trump Administration’s rollbacks of green energy subsidies.

Of course she blames Trump. Without massive subsidies “green” energy is expensive. Why doesn’t the NY state govt pay for those subsidies for their citizens?

Then, NYSERDA, an agency in her state government, released a memo in late February, forecasting that Upstate homeowners could see their heating bills rise by roughly $4,000 by 2031 if the law is implemented as is.

So, probably like $8000. Anyhow, the next part is f’ing hilarious

But environmentalists and experts say that is misleading.

“This calculation is based on nothing. It’s based on hypotheticals, right?” said Michael Hamersky, the executive director of the Pace Energy and Climate Center at Pace University’s Elizabeth Haub School of Law.

The whole climate scam is based on nothing. On hypotheticals. On computer models and crystal balls.

Weird: Celebs Who Hate Guns To Get Even More Security Against Iranian Drones

I mean, having more security to protect against the Iranian drones which we’re told are fictitious wouldn’t really stop them, right? Also, haven’t most of these celebs advocated for banning guns, “common sense gun control”, taking them away from Americans? All while being protected by people with guns?

Security to Be Increased at 2026 Oscars Amid FBI Alert About Iran’s “Surprise Attack” Plan on California

Oscars producers have promised that they “want everybody to feel safe and protected” at the 2026 Academy Awards on Sunday amid reports of an FBI alert about Iran‘s plan to attack California with drones.

During a press conference on Wednesday, days before Hollywood’s biggest night at the Dolby Theatre, Oscars telecast executive producers Katy Mullan and Raj Kapoor said the ceremony will have increased security.

“We have the support of the FBI and the LAPD, and it’s a close collaboration,” Kapoor said. “This show has to run like clockwork. But we want everybody that is coming to this show, that is witnessing the show, that is even a fan of the show when they’re standing outside the barricades, we want everybody to feel safe and protected and welcome, so it’s our job as a producing team to make sure that that translates.” (snip)

While security will be increased at the Oscars again this year, security at the celebrity-filled awards show has always been robust in the past as well.

Well, I like to feel safe so I have multiple firearms. The celebs do not like that. But, then, they can afford private security. They get multiple levels of law enforcement to protect them. Many of them are, in fact, gun owners.

When contacted by The Hollywood Reporter, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department shared in part in a statement, “In light of current global events, the Department remains at an elevated level of readiness and is maintaining increased vigilance as we continue to protect our residents of Los Angeles County. We are working closely with our federal and local law enforcement partners to share intelligence and monitor the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and assess any potential impacts in our communities. The safety of the public remains our highest priority. As part of our preparedness efforts, we remain attentive to all potential threats, including lone-actor attacks, sleeper cells, and advanced technological or cyber-related threats.”

There is that, and we’ve already seen a bunch of Islamic extremist nutjobs attack. But, why would they attack the same people who are taking the side of Iran now, as they have taken the side of the Palestinians and Hamas? The same people who were mostly silent on the Iranian regime killing the Iranian protesters? The ones blasting Trump more than the murderous Iranian regime?

Your Fault: Hotcoldwetdry Slowing Earth At An “Unprecedented” Rate

All you had to do was stop eating meat and give your money and freedom to government to stop this

Climate change is slowing Earth’s spin at unprecedented rate compared to past 3.6 million years

Climate change is lengthening our days because rising sea levels slow Earth’s rotation. Researchers from the University of Vienna and ETH Zurich now show that the current increase in day length—1.33 milliseconds per century—is unprecedented in the past 3.6 million years. The team reconstructed ancient day-length fluctuations using the fossil remains of single-celled marine organisms known as benthic foraminifera.

An exact 24-hour day is not a given—day length changes due to gravitational effects of the moon, as well as various geophysical processes acting within Earth’s interior, at its surface, and in the atmosphere.

Today’s climate change also affects day length: prior work showed that from 2000 to 2020 our days were lengthened by a rate equivalent to 1.33 milliseconds per century due to climate-related factors, especially the continental-ocean mass redistribution due to the melting of polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers.

In a new study, appearing in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Mostafa Kiani Shahvandi (University of Vienna) and Benedikt Soja (ETH Zurich) demonstrate that this rapid rise in day length is unparalleled over the last 3.6 million years.

You know, I’m not even going to delve into the notion that they really do not have data, and zero comparisons to previous Holocene warm periods. We all know it’s simply being made up, that all their conclusions are pre-formed

To answer this question, the researchers used the fossilized remains of single-celled marine organisms known as benthic foraminifera.

“From the chemical composition of the foraminifera fossils, we can infer sea-level fluctuations and then mathematically derive the corresponding changes in day length,” says first author Kiani Shahvandi from the University of Vienna.

“Infer”. Good grief. And, I’m sure you were expecting this, right?

To draw more robust conclusions, the team employed a probabilistic deep learning algorithm—a physics-informed diffusion model.

“This model captures the physics of sea-level change, while remaining robust to the large uncertainties inherent in paleoclimate data,” adds the climate scientist and geophysicist.

It’s all so tiresome.
