EU Nations Having Trouble Settling On A Climate (scam) Deal

By William Teach September 13, 2025 – 7:00 am

They don’t seem quite sure how to force the scam further on the EU peasants

EU countries delay deal on new climate goal, diplomats say

European Union countries have shelved plans to approve a new climate change target next week, after pushback from governments including France and Germany over plans to quickly land a deal, three EU diplomats told Reuters on Friday.

Countries are discussing a legally-binding target to cut net EU greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040, from 1990 levels – with a share of this covered by buying foreign carbon credits.

The European Commission has said this would offer investors certainty and keep Europe on track for net zero emissions by 2050. Climate change has made Europe the world’s fastest-warming continent, unleashing deadly heatwaves and record-breaking wildfires.

Really? I thought that was Antarctica? Or was it Asia? Or the Arctic?

But EU governments are divided over how ambitious to be in tackling global warming, as governments also try to increase defence spending and support struggling industries.

EU ministers had planned to approve the 2040 climate change target on September 18. However, EU countries’ ambassadors cancelled that plan in a meeting on Friday, three EU diplomats said.

Are they struggling because of the already insane scam rules and regulations? I wonder how the actual citizens of the EU feel about this. Do the Elites care?

Denmark, Spain and the Netherlands are among the countries backing the 90% emissions-cutting target, diplomats said.

Countries including France, Poland and Italy have pushed back on the proposed goal, and demanded it be escalated to heads of government – who next meet in October.

You know, I’m starting to think that this whole EU thing might have been a mistake, when it was really about making trade easier at the beginning. Mission creep.

Trump’s Next Anti-Crime Target? Memphis

By William Teach September 13, 2025 – 6:45 am

Chicago is a mess, but, it’s just too dangerous for Trump to send in ICE and the National Guard. No reason to get into a war, and, really, if Chicago wants to have all that crime and shootings, let them.

Trump says National Guard deploying to Memphis, Tennessee, next amid anti-crime push

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he would be deploying the National Guard to Memphis, Tenn., next as he continues his anti-crime initiative.

The president made the announcement during an appearance on “Fox & Friends,” adding that the deployment would not be limited to the National Guard and could include the Army if needed.

“Memphis is deeply troubled,” Trump said. “We’re gonna fix that just like we did Washington.”

Trump admitted that he would have “preferred going to Chicago.” The Trump administration has recently clashed with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson over possible National Guard deployment to the Windy City.

Trump told “Fox & Friends” that both Memphis Mayor Paul Young, a Democrat, and Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican, were on board with the plan to have the National Guard sent to what’s known as the Bluff City.

There was a lot of talk about the crime rate is at a 25 year low

Overall crime is at a 25-year low, with robbery, burglary, and larceny also reaching 25-year lows. Murder is at a six-year low, aggravated assault at a five-year low, and sexual assault at a twenty-year low.

These declines reflect focused strategies and collaboration. In recent years, MPD has launched initiatives focused on fugitives, violent repeat offenders, auto theft, and traffic enforcement, while strengthening partnerships with local, state, and federal agencies.

That’s good, but, the crime is still absurdly high. Neighborhood Scout ranks them a zero, meaning they are safer than 0% of other US cities (100 is best). There aren’t that many zeros. The violent crime rate is 26.05. The national median is 4. You have a 1 in 38 chance of being a victim. Property crime is 86.85, with the national median being 19. A 1 in 12 chance of being a victim. Hope you don’t like having possession of your car. Or being attached to your stuff.

Blue states shunned the National Guard. Tennessee governor is taking a different approach.

…

And Memphis may just be the start — GOP governors have shown a willingness to lean on the Guard to aid in crime fighting and deportation efforts. Before it was declared the next target on Friday, Trump had suggested he would dispatch the Guard to New Orleans — which GOP Gov. Jeff Landry celebrated. Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders this week detailed the Guard to assist in immigration enforcement in Little Rock and Fayetteville. In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott has routinely sent the Guard to police the border, and in June authorized 5,000 troops in anticipation of protests against deportation raids.

Tennessee Republicans view the entrance of the Guard in their state as an opportunity to sharpen their attacks on Democrats over crime, an issue that remains one of the GOP’s biggest strengths.

“Why these blue state governors would act like dumbasses and not welcome the federal help to reduce the crime for their own citizens is beyond me,” said Tennessee Sen. Brent Taylor, a Memphis-area Republican who has long requested federal intervention in his city. “When it comes to the crime issue, blue state governors are as useless as a milk bucket under a bull.”

Let’s not forget that Memphis is a Democrat run city in a GOP state. Memphis has had only one Republican mayor (briefly) since 1968. In fairness, current Memphis Mayor Paul Young is still a little squishy, but, he’s a far sight better than most of his Democrat brethren, especially since he has been hearing from Memphis residents. And he may very consider that reducing crime is a good thing, even if it means working with Trump.

This could also be dangerous, because there are lots of gangs, at least 48, including Bloods, Crips, Gangster Disciples, Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), and Vice Lords. And a newer one, AOB (All Off the Blade), which is even more violent than MS-13.

Warmist Sees Boat Advertising At Beach, Calls It Dystopian

By William Teach September 12, 2025 – 3:15 pm

This article is from The Cooldown, which is a hyper-warmist outlet, and seems a bit silly

Beachgoer sparks outrage with photo of shocking sight just offshore: ‘This is peak dystopian’

A beachgoer took to Reddit to post an infuriating scene, as their peaceful seaside trip was interrupted by an unexpected intrusion.

Posting in the r/anticonsumption subreddit, they shared a picture of a pretty typical beachside view, save for one thing — the massive advertising board in the middle of the ocean.

“I’m used to the usual airplane banners, but it seems now you can’t even enjoy watching the ocean without being advertised to…” they said in the caption. The large LED billboard appears to be atop some sort of floating structure, and is currently touting a local bar or nightclub.

Well, yeah, I hate it. I always hated those planes flying the banners at the Jersey Shore. Heck, any boat that came too close into the shore when trying to surf. They don’t say where it is, though. I obviously cannot say for sure, because there are plenty of companies that offer this, but, it does look like these boats used in south Florida, though the beach itself reminds me more of Maryland.

Advertising has become more and more an inescapable part of our modern lives. From billboards on trucks to gas station ad screens to real estate billboards outside homes, ads are becoming practically inescapable. With the explosion in LED technology, they’re also becoming brighter and larger than ever.

But this particular billboard might be the most egregious of the bunch. Apart from the energy needed to power it, putting an LED board on a platform in the middle of the ocean could wind up being an environmental hazard. LEDs are frequently made from materials that are difficult to recycle under the best of circumstances, much less after months of exposure to the harsh, salty sea air of the ocean. And if the platform, the power source, or the board itself is damaged in a storm, you could expose the undersea ecosystem to the chemicals stored inside the batteries.

Wait, the batteries could be bad for the ocean? Huh. (EVs)

“This is peak dystopian,” said one. “Get this banned before this is all you see on the horizon. So us folks get to see this while the rich enjoy free nature on their private islands. Get this banned now.”

I won’t say dystopian, but, I hate them. They have to come close enough to shore to be able to read them. Those plane banners are huge. Look how close these are for an NJ company.

“Remember,” said another. “We can’t have renewable windenergy because it would block rich people’s views, but you also can’t have views if you go to a public beach.”

That says more about the rich folks pushing “green” energy for everyone else but do not want their views ruined.

Not to mention the unnecessary burning of fossil fuels and damage to the climate from something so unneeded.

Sigh. There’s really nothing they can’t insert their doomsday cult into.

Suspect Reportedly Arrested In Assassination Of Charlie Kirk

By William Teach September 12, 2025 – 10:30 am

Hopefully so. And hopefully the DOJ doesn’t scrub his social media and refuse to release his motivations, manifesto, etc

Charlie Kirk’s suspected assassin captured after fatal shooting of influential conservative voice in Utah

Police have arrested a suspect in the assassination of Charlie Kirk on a Utah college campus earlier this week.

Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, was sitting under a tent around 12:20 p.m. Wednesday, debating with students on hot-button current affairs issues, when a single shot rang out. Video from the scene shows him struck in the neck before he slumped out of his chair.

“I think with a high-degree of certainty, we have him,” President Donald Trump revealed on Fox & Friends Friday morning. He added that, “essentially, someone who knew him turned him in.”

Trump did not provide the name of the suspect, nor the name of who turned the suspect in.

Of course, this won’t stop the loonies on Credentialed Media from blaming Charlie and Republicans for a Democrat shooting Charlie because his skirt was too short

And this came through with a name before I could even post this at 1030

Will his stuff be scrubbed once people figure out which Tyler Robinson he is?

What is a bolt action rifle? What we know about the gun used to kill Charlie Kirk

The gun recovered by authorities in the assassination of Charlie Kirk was a bolt-action rifle — a common hunting weapon valued for its reliability but limited to a single shot before reloading.

Unlike a semiautomatic, the shooter must manually operate the bolt handle to cycle the weapon: lifting and pulling it back moves the spent cartridge, while pushing it forward chambers a new round from the magazine. Lowering the bolt locks the round and seals the chamber, making the rifle ready to fire again — a simple, durable design that has kept it popular among hunters and target shooters.

“This process limits the rate of fire, you can only take one shot at a time,” explained retired Marine Lt. Col. Hal Kempfer in an interview with Fox News Digital.

Well, technically, you can only take one shot at a time with an AR-15 or other “assault rifles” which are semi-automatic. Bolt action are much better for long range shots, as they do not cycle with every pull of the trigger. That’s why most snipers use bolt action. Of course, this doesn’t stop the lunatics from blaming the guns

She’s by no means alone in this. They’re still calling for gun control, even after finding out it was a bolt action rifle. Because they do want the Australian solution, where guns are mostly banned, even hunting rifles. All while the same people will be allowed to be protected by armed security.

State Department warns it will revoke visas of foreigners who ‘glorify violence’ after Kirk shooting

The State Department will be monitoring the words of foreign nationals who “glorify violence” after the Charlie Kirk shooting and take “appropriate action.”

“In light of yesterday’s horrific assassination of a leading political figure, I want to underscore that foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country,” Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau wrote on X.

“I have been disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalizing, or making light of the event, and have directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action. Please feel free to bring such comments by foreigners to my attention so that the @StateDept can protect the American people.”

And, even though the State Department has full authority to do this, wackjob left wing judges will rule against revoking visas for foreigners.

Permanent Drought Out. Flash Drought In

By William Teach September 12, 2025 – 7:15 am

Remember all those times the climate cultists yammered about permanent droughts? And then a few years later things went back to normal or got all floody? The doomsday cult now has a solution

‘Flash droughts’: How climate change increases the risk of these short-lived but devastating events

Transcript: (WT note: this comes from an audio recording)

In 2012, spring in the Midwest warmed up early. Corn farmers planted their crops ahead of schedule, and the growing season looked promising.

But then in May and June, almost no rain fell. The extremely dry conditions stunted plant growth and devastated crop yields.

Ford: “By the time we got to mid-July, it was a really dire situation. … So that’s just a matter of maybe six weeks or so where we go from, ‘Yeah, everything’s good,’ to ‘We’re really in trouble.’”

Trent Ford, the Illinois state climatologist, says what happened in 2012 is called a flash drought.

It’s when a lack of rain, paired with hot temperatures that boost evaporation from soils, creates drought conditions that intensify quickly.

As the climate warms, flash droughts are growing more common in many areas – even in places like the Midwest that are also seeing more heavy downpours.

So, just short term droughts that come on quickly and then go away

Ford: “And then we’ve also had some recent flash droughts in the southeast U.S., parts of Tennessee, Carolinas. … That area, of course, is very heavily vegetated, and when it dries out, it creates a lot of fuel for wildfires.”

So although flash droughts may be shorter-lived than the prolonged droughts that plague the Western U.S. and other very dry regions, they can cause major damage.

Will this notion of flash droughts catch on in the Credentialed Media as a doomsday talking point, replacing permanent drought? Time will tell.

Appeals Court Says Planned Parenthood Ghouls Can Be Blocked From Medicaid Money

By William Teach September 12, 2025 – 7:00 am

The US taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for irresponsible women to have abortions (yeah, and the men where irresponsible, as well. But, they can’t get knocked up). If they want to pay, let them. And Planned Parenthood makes more than enough yearly without government money

Trump administration can stop Medicaid spending to Planned Parenthood for now, appeals court rules

A federal appeals court is allowing the Trump administration to move forward in its plan to stop providing Medicaid reimbursement to large abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, for now.

The 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals gave the order on Thursday, while appeals continue over the legality of the section of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending cuts bill law passed by Congress that restricts Medicaid funding.

The appeals court said the Trump administration can halt the funding, overriding a lower court that blocked it from doing so.

The Trump administration argued, successfully, that the congressionally approved law should go into effect while appeals courts, including the Supreme Court, weigh it.

The Medicaid determination will go into effect based on whether a health care provider is providing abortions as of October 1 and receives more than $800,000 in Medicaid payments in a year.

Seriously, the duly elected Legislative Branch passed the law, which in no way violates the Constitution, especially since the Constitution has no provision to provide any private entity money nor provide Medicaid.

“We will continue to fight this unconstitutional law, even though this court has allowed it to impact patients,” Planned Parenthood Federation of America President and CEO Alexis McGill Johnson said in a statement. “Patients who rely on the essential health care that Planned Parenthood health centers provide, can’t plan for their futures, decide where they go for care, or control their lives, bodies, and futures — all because the Trump administration and its backers want to attack Planned Parenthood and shut down health centers.”

I’ve still not seen where PP provides a substantive Constitutional rationale, they just keep screeching “unconstitutional!” If Congress can give private entities money they can also deny them money.

Judge Allows Trump Admin To Cut $1 Billion In Free Taxpayer Money To “Science” Grants

By William Teach September 11, 2025 – 4:47 pm

They gravy train is being cut down

Judge allows Trump to cut more than $1bn in National Science Foundation grants

The Trump administration can go ahead and purge more than 1,600 research grants issued by National Science Foundation (NSF) worth more than $1bn, after a judge declined to grant a preliminary injunction in a case brought by a coalition of organizations representing thousands of scientists.

The NSF is the premier federal investor in basic and cutting-edge science and engineering, which until Trump’s second term enjoyed bipartisan support, with the agency’s independent review process revered globally as the gold standard.

Shortly after the president’s inauguration, the so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge) led by the billionaire Trump donor Elon Musk was given free rein to overhaul the NSF to comply with what the administration said were its “changing priorities”.

Elections have consequences, so I’ve been told

Doge inflicted widespread and chaotic cuts to NSF staff, programs and research grants – particularly targeting grants that complied with congressional mandates to improve participation by women, people of color and people with disabilities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem).

The congressional push to improve diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in science and engineering was designed to nurture and attract untapped talent in marginalized communities, in order to boost American innovation, the economy and national defense.

In other words, giving taxpayer money to people who don’t deserve it, based on race and gender, rather than qualifications.

On Wednesday evening, the district court of the District of Columbia ruled against the scientists and declined to halt the cuts while the case proceeds through the courts.

“The Court finds that it likely lacks jurisdiction over Plaintiffs’ retrospective APA claims … [and] Plaintiffs have failed to show irreparable harm flowing from their prospective APA claims and have not shown a likelihood of success on the merits of their constitutional claims,” the court ruled.

Huh. Their lawsuit must be really meritless for a DC court to rule in favor of the Trump admin. Maybe the grants should be given out based on science, not ideology.

Washington Post Takes On “Assassination Culture”

By William Teach September 11, 2025 – 10:29 am

For the most part, the assassination culture is coming from the left, who have wished death on Trump, Vance, and anyone who doesn’t toe the line of liberal beliefs. Michelle Malkin started calling this “assassination chic” way back in the mid-2000s, with lots of posts on her old website (which now directs to Unz), and she wrote about in her book “Unhinged“. How Democrats and the like minded around the world wanted George W. Bush and all around him killed. Remember how Charlie Brooker at the UK Guardian was hoping for someone like a Lee Harvey Oswald if Bush43 won re-election? Here’s the WP Editorial Board

Free speech and ‘assassination culture’

Months before Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, the conservative activist warned about the spread of “assassination culture.” He cited the attempt on President Donald Trump’s life, as well as the killing of a health care CEO. And now it seems all too likely that he himself became a victim of that violent fervor while speaking on Wednesday at Utah Valley University.

The 31-year-old, a husband and a father of two, founded the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA in 2012. Over time, he developed a massive following online and traveled frequently to college campuses — preaching to the choir while also relishing debate with his many detractors. That sort of dialogue is what universities are supposed to foster, and shooting someone for what they have to say is among the most un-American and evil acts that anyone can perpetrate.

And, yet, the Washington Post, their opinion writers, and the Editorial Board have all looked to shut down opposing voices.

Elected officials in Minnesota were horrifically assassinated at their homes in June. Trump came inches from being assassinated during a rally last summer in Butler, Pennsylvania. Then, last September, another armed madman was caught lying in wait for him. (That suspect is on trial for attempted murder this week.) Rep. Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana) almost died when a left-wing radical shot up the congressional Republican baseball practice in 2017.

Too often, partisans appear eager to blame their opponents after any heinous attack — rather than straightforwardly condemning it. Studies suggest that strong public denunciations of violence from elected leaders help strengthen norms against it.

And the minute it happens with a gun Democrats and their pet media rush to blame guns and want to ban them from the hands of you peasants, all while getting protection from armed security.

The overwhelming majority of prominent Democrats forcefully and promptly condemned the killing of Kirk, including New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who hosted Kirk on his podcast six months ago. Former president Barack Obama said that “this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy.” Though Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) decried the violence, he couldn’t help himself from taking a dig at Trump. “I think the president’s rhetoric often foments it,” he said, a disgracefully ill-timed comment.

And so many of those politicians were calling for gun bans. They can’t help themselves

Many are calling the assassination of Charlie Kirk to be a “sea change” event, and, perhaps the WPEB is understanding that. Time will tell. Because when Democrat politicians and those in the media are constantly calling Trump, his people, and his voters Nazis, Fascists, authoritarians, etc, say Democracy is ending, well, what do unhinged Democrat voters do?

Perhaps the WPEB could speak to the Times? You had Kathy Griffin with her severed Trump head. You just had NC House member Julie Von Haefen posting a decapitated Trump photo. There were lots of other crazy at those No Kings protests. No Kings entices Dems to think the nation is ending and want to put a stop to it. The overblown rhetoric about Doom doesn’t help. Twitter, Blue Sky, and others are chock full of Dems celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk, and wishing for more of this. Remember how they wished the Trump assassin didn’t miss?

This stuff got Matthew Dowd fired from MSNBC. TMZ had to offer an apology for their celebration (no one is accepting it). The NY Times ran a cartoon hoping climate Skeptics were killed.

Remember the ” 2010 climate-campaign video showing a teacher blowing up students who didn’t sign on to cut their carbon footprints”? There’s been no shortage of those on the political left wishing death on opponents for not believing in ‘climate change’, abortion on demand, big government, etc. Not that those on the right are perfect, but, rarely do they follow through with violence, and most of them are way outside the mainstream, while the ones hoping and doing are typically part of the left mainstream.

Want to turn down the temperature? Start with the Credentialed Media. And have those in the media call out the Democrats who are unhinged.
