Your Fault: Chestnuts Having Issues In Portugal

By William Teach October 24, 2026 – 6:23 pm

All because you drove a fossil fueled vehicle instead of taking the bus

Climate change affecting chestnut production in Portugal

Speaking to the news agency Lusa, Manuel Gonçalves explained that while spring featured balanced temperatures and a stable temperature-to-humidity ratio, a heatwave brought the chestnut tree flowering period—which typically occurs in July—forward, disrupting pollination.

“The chestnut flowering was very rapid, accompanied by intense heat; it didn’t allow the bees to forage—the plants simply didn’t provide the opportunity for the bees to collect nectar,” he said, noting that the flowering was “so fast” that some trees “began to bloom in the morning, and by the end of the day, the blossoms were completely dried out.”

In contrast to last year, a “decent” year for this type of honey, this year has seen losses of 80% to 90%. Beekeepers are harvesting only “a quarter of a super”—about two kilograms per hive—whereas an ideal yield would be “10 to 12 kilograms per hive.” According to the association’s president, this affects approximately 200 beekeepers within the Montesinho Natural Park.

It’s horrible that weather happens during a Holocene warm period. I wonder how they did during the Little Ice Age?

Federal Appeals Court Says That Illegals Can Be Held Without Bond

By William Teach October 24, 2026 – 10:30 am

Too bad this only applies to a few states, but, hey, that also means that all illegals can be sent to just these states

Federal Court Says No ‘Get Out of Jail’ Card for Illegal Aliens

A federal appeals court ruled Friday that illegal immigrants detained inside the United States have no constitutional right to a bond hearing, no matter how long they have lived in the country.

A bond hearing allows detained migrants to ask an immigration judge for release on bond while their immigration cases proceed.

In a 10-7 decision, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans reversed a lower panel and sided with the Trump administration. The ruling closed the main legal route that judges in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi had used to free detained migrants who challenged how long they were being held.

The ruling backs a policy, put in place last year, that lets the government hold immigrants arrested in the interior until their deportation cases end, without giving them a chance to argue for release before a judge. It is a sharp break from how previous administrations handled such cases, when migrants who were not flight risks or dangers could often post bond.

The cases were certainly shopped to the few federal judges who were wackjob moonbat leftists, and now that is over. But, hey, any of the detainees can easily get out if they say they want to leave the US, and Los Federales will pay for their flights. Easy!

Writing for the majority, Judge Cory Wilson, a Trump appointee, said the men challenging their detention were still legally seeking admission to the country and were not entitled to a hearing on due-process grounds. The judge wrote that they could end their confinement “at any moment by agreeing to leave the country.”

See? Go home. Go to another country. Heck, we can put you on a bus to Canada.

Uh Oh: Comrades In PRC Losing Faith In Doing Something About Climate Doom

By William Teach October 24, 2026 – 7:15 am

But, will they lose enough faith to vote out the wackos who force all these rules, regulations, laws, taxes, fees, etc?

Californians’ support for cutting carbon emissions wanes as new climate warnings arrive

Earlier this month, Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger staged a low-key celebration marking the 20th anniversary of Assembly Bill 32, the landmark legislation committing California to immense reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

It was the most notable achievement of Schwarzenegger’s governorship, not only setting a series of deadlines for emissions reductions, but creating as one of its major tools a system for industry buy-in known as “cap-and-trade.”

Environmental groups were opposed, favoring direct regulations, but Schwarzenegger insisted. Since then, the state has auctioned off a gradually diminishing number of emissions permits, thus, in theory, incentivizing industries to reduce greenhouse gases.

The Los Angeles Times has calculated that early goals were met. But in recent years reductions have slowed, and the 2030 goal of being 40% lower than 1990 emissions levels is highly unlikely.

Yeah, well, it’s easy to say, a lot harder to do

Public Policy Institute of California pollsters found that while Californians still support emissions reductions in concept, views on specific programs have slipped. That’s particularly true of Newsom’s desire to ban the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035. Support for that has dropped from 49% in 2021 to just 32%.

I bet if you asked the questions “do you support everyone else having to buy an EV” and “are you against being forced to buy an EV for yourself” the answers would be interesting.

“Affordability has become a dominant theme in public discourse today — and it’s affecting the public’s views on the environment,” the PPIC says. “Most Californians choose cost of living as the top issue facing the people of California today; few name environmental concerns.”

Really, this is the reality all the time, even in the People’s Republik Of California: ‘climate change’ always comes near the end if not last when put up against real issues. And this is why so many Californians get the hell out of the state. Unfortunately, they bring the same stupid policies elsewhere.

The flip side of declining popular and political support for emissions reduction policies is a new warning from Newsom’s administration that California faces a slow-motion apocalypse.

“Climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity, duration, and impacts of climate related events in California, including short- or long-term hazard events like wildfire, extreme heat, drought, flooding, and sea level rise,” the administration’s 109-page Fifth Climate Change Assessment declares.

The Elites, who rarely practice what they preach, are upset by the waning interest and will try and scare the peasants, and, if that doesn’t work, will just force it all on them. Because the peasants are too culty to vote different.

Plurality Of Americans Do Not Want Commie Socialist Agenda In Their Cities

By William Teach October 24, 2026 – 7:00 am

Yet, the idiots in big cities keep voting for it

Poll: Majority of Americans don’t want to see communities adopt socialist agenda

A plurality of Americans don’t want to see their community move in the direction of the Democratic Socialist agenda, according to a new poll from The Center Square.

Forty-four percent of American voters surveyed in The Center Square’s Voters’ Voice Poll say they would prefer to live in a city or community where Democratic Socialists have not gained influence.

In contrast, 33% say they would like to see their city or community move more in the direction of places where Democratic Socialist candidates have gained influence, while 23% are unsure.

The latest poll comes as voters head to the polls in less than two weeks, where several Democratic Socialists and their agenda are on ballots across the country, with a majority concerned socialist candidates could gain ground.

The Center Square Voters’ Voice poll also found that 55% of American voters are concerned about Democratic Socialist candidates running for and winning elected office in the U.S., while 37% aren’t concerned.

Who are the idiots who are unsure? They need to pay more attention. And those who are in favor always seem surprised when they get what they voted for

Earlier in the month, Fetterman cited a CBS News poll that found nearly 60% of Democrats have a positive view of socialism.

“The Democratic Party is becoming the party of socialism. 58% view socialism positively. 50% view capitalism negatively. I’m a proud free market capitalist. This is lunacy,” the senator wrote on social media.

Fetterman isn’t the only Democrat calling out the party’s growing socialist arm; veteran Democratic strategist James Carville has called on the Democratic Socialists of America to drop the word “Democratic” from their name to distance the party from leftist policies.

They all think it will be some sort of utopia, but, they’re all sheeple.

Your Fault: Hotcoldwetdry Increase Gun Violence Or Something

By William Teach October 23, 2026 – 5:05 pm

No matter the issue the cult of climastrology will link itself

Climate Change Increases Gun Violence Incidents in the United States

Hotter temperatures increase the risks of violence and aggression, including incidents of gun violence.

Climate Central analysis shows how temperatures boosted by human-caused climate change contributed to the number of gun violence incidents from 2021–2025 in 100 U.S. cities.

More than 1,900 incidents of gun violence were attributed to heat driven by climate change, out of the nearly 116,300 shootings that occurred during this time period.

Researchers have consistently found that the risks of aggression and violence — including firearms incidents — increase with temperature. The exact causal links between high temperatures and aggressive or violent behavior aren’t fully understood; however, both theory and observations have found that heat can trigger aggression by activating the regions of the brain responsible for emotional regulation and by increasing adrenaline. Researchers also hypothesize that warmer weather could increase the number of interactions between people and, as a result, increase the number of opportunities for conflict and violence.

Rising temperatures driven by human-caused climate change have the potential to amplify the risk of aggressive and violent behavior and, in turn, increase the number of shootings.

There is no such thing as gun violence: it’s people violence, they just happen to use guns. And there is no doubt that violence outside of the home peaks when it gets hotter. But, a 1.7F increase since 1850 is a nothingburger. Of course, the big cities where most shootings occur are warming due to UHI. It really just goes to show that the climate cult wants to involve themselves in everything.

If Ilhan Omar Is Not Her Real Name, Could There Be Legal Consequences?

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

Maybe it also shows that the federal government needs to be a bit more careful in vetting the people they let in/bring in, though this is an extreme case

Ilhan Omar is not the Minnesota congresswoman’s ‘real name’: sources

Ilhan Omar is not the “real name” of the Minnesota congresswoman, Fox News Digital has learned.

Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, according to two people familiar with the ongoing investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman, including a law enforcement source.

And if proven in court that Omar has lived her “entire life under an alias,” a former Minnesota federal immigration judge tells Fox News Digital that every single form she ever filled out could be “called into question.”

On Wednesday, U.S. District Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro filed a motion seeking to prevent the federal search warrant for the congresswoman’s home from being unsealed, which was requested by several media outlets. The motion says the federal government is not yet finished executing the search warrant, and that it shouldn’t be unsealed yet.

“Before the Court are three Applications to unseal ex parte materials and proceedings related to a federal search warrant for the personal residence in the District of Columbia of Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar…” the motion begins.

OK, so, maybe Ilhan Omar is not here real name. Did she legally change it? People do that. So far we have heard nothing as to that. Her spokesperson has claimed that Ilhan Omar is her real name, and nothing about “she changed it legally”, so, this could be problematic for Ilhan

Conservative personality Will Chamberlain first posted the motion on X speculating that the “DOJ believes [Omar] is present in the United States under a false identity.” (snip)

Nathan Hansen, a former federal immigration judge from Minnesota, listed the extent to which the supposed name change could impact the case against the congresswoman.

“You think of all the types of documents somebody like her might have filled out,” he said. “There’d be federal student loan and student aid applications, maybe federal housing related applications, maybe public assistance applications, passport applications, passport information and driver’s license information, Real I.D. information [and] voting information.”

Now, people changed their name, sometimes US immigration authorities did it, all the time during waves of immigration, right? But, she’s still heavily denying the original name

He said if someone has lived their entire lives under an alias, there are many criminal charges that could be levied.

“Sometimes they might say that that would be a wire fraud charge, they always add that one,” said Hansen. “And that’s pretty broad. But, you know, a lot of these documents are sworn under penalty of perjury.”

“If this is not, like, a real legal name, it’s got some legal backing to it that every type of government form she’s filled out in her entire existence might be called into question,” Hansen said.

Including, say, applications to run for office? This is one of those true crime shows that keep getting more and more salacious

WVA AG Investigating Shady Climate Cult Groups

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

They really do not like it when the scales of justice are aimed their way

West Virginia Investigates Climate, Environmental Groups Over Alleged ‘Deceptive’ Acts

West Virginia’s Republican attorney general has launched a broad investigation into many of the state’s leading environmental groups, demanding a decade of internal records involving their fundraising and climate change advocacy as part of a probe into “alleged unfair or deceptive acts,” court records show.

The environmental groups decried the inquiry as a sham, and at least two asked a judge Thursday to dismiss subpoenas from the attorney general’s office they described as harassing and overly broad.

Attorney General JB McCuskey has urged federal authorities to investigate and defund certain climate advocacy organizations and said protecting the state’s fossil fuel energy industry from what he’s characterized as overreaching liberal climate and energy policies is a priority of his office.

The subpoenas seek records related to the groups’ public statements on climate and energy, internal deliberations and requests for donations. The documents offer few details of any alleged deception but say they concern “an investigation into alleged unfair or deceptive acts” and invoke “other possible violations” of the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act.

“This investigatory subpoena from our state’s attorney general is nothing more than a fishing expedition intended to stifle our collective voice in our advocacy for clean water, protected public lands and healthy communities,” Jennie Smith, executive director of the West Virginia Rivers Coalition — one of the groups that went to court to fight the subpoena — said in a statement.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The sad part about so many “environmental” groups, besides being part of the scam climate cult, is that they tend to not spend much of that money they raise on the stated mission. Most goes to things like salaries, perks, raising more money, and paying off politicians.

David Cole, a Georgetown Law professor and First Amendment scholar, called the West Virginia investigation “frivolous” and said the subpoenas should be quashed.

“If government officials can start prosecuting nonprofit groups because they disagree with the political view they take on a matter of public concern, that would chill a tremendous amount of protected political expression,” Cole told The Associated Press. “The proper place to fight this out is in the court of public opinion and in the labs of scientists — not in criminal investigations that essentially seek to weaponize the criminal arm of the state to take sides in a political debate.”

Interesting, because they had no problem with the Biden and Obama admins going after Conservative and Christian groups. Maybe because those groups did not engage in fraud that put money in Democrat pockets. Also, he can talk about the court of public opinion, but, the cult groups engage in a lot of climatelawfare, filing suits left and right to try and force Everyone Else to follow the cult’s beliefs.

Wacko Federal Judge Tells NICE To Stay Away From Looking For Illegals Ahead Of Elections

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

It’s wild how many of these wacko judges ruling against enforcing federal immigration law were born outside the U.S.. And of course she was put on the bench by Sloppy Joe Biden

Judge limits election-related immigration stops amid broader legal war ahead of midterms

A sweeping campaign by federal immigration agents to identify voter fraud by noncitizens through door knocks, street stops and other field interviews in California and eight other states must be reined in ahead of the Nov. 3 election, after a federal judge in Northern California ruled it has intimidated U.S. citizens and interfered with the work of voting rights groups.

Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguin said in a ruling Wednesday that limiting the Department of Homeland Security’s surging operations in those states — which she wrote “sweep in U.S. citizens for investigation” — does not prevent the Trump administration from “exercising their authority to investigate voter fraud by lawful means.”

A Homeland Security spokesperson said the agency is “laser focused on identifying, prosecuting, and removing aliens who vote,” and has “no plans to question or investigate people we believe to be U.S. citizens.”

The ruling was the latest to come out of an unprecedented legal war playing out between the Trump administration and California in recent days, in which an array of election cases are working their way through the federal courts at breakneck speed.

First off, federal agents only need to show up with some door knocks and such and make sure people notice, and make sure that it is broadcast by the news and disseminated to the illegal and legal aliens, discouraging them from voting. And even getting anywhere near a voting site.

Second, she really has no power to enforce this rule beyond her fiefdom of the Northern District Of California. It wouldn’t even apply to all of the People’s Republic Of California.

Third, she really doesn’t have authorization to stop a federal agency from lawfully engaging in the duties that laws passed by duly elected Congresses have authorized. I can see this getting overturned quickly. And maybe smacked around in a written ruling for violating CASA.
