Climate Cult Pope Sends Message To COP30: “Creation is crying out”

By William Teach November 18, 2025 – 3:00 pm

Um, isn’t that a contradictory message? He’s dropping creationism, the Warmists tend to be Darwinists

‘Creation is crying out,’ pope says in new message to COP30

While “creation is crying out” and millions of people suffer the effects of climate change and pollution, politicians are failing to act, Pope Leo XIV said.

As the U.N. Climate Conference, COP30, began its final week of meetings Nov. 17, the pope sent a video message to Christian representatives and activists from the global south who were holding a side event to the conference in Belem, Brazil.

The Paris Agreement adopted in 2015 at COP21 “has driven real progress and remains our strongest tool for protecting people and the planet,” Pope Leo said in the video.

“But we must be honest: it is not the agreement that is failing, we are failing in our response,” he said. “What is failing is the political will of some.”

On the bright side, Leo sent a video, rather than taking a long, fossil fueled trip to Brazil, like the other 40K+ in attendance. And he is 100% correct that Warmsits are failing to practice what they preach, though, what he means is that it is Bad that government is not taking everyone’s money and freedom for the scam. Not too mention Leo putting the climate god ahead of God.

Of course, Leo just had a whole bunch of actors and actresses fly to Rome for an event at the Vatican. What’s the carbon footprint?

California Sued By Trump Admin Over Mask Ban

By William Teach November 18, 2025 – 10:30 am

Interesting: instead of simply saying “California has no authority over federal agents, they’ll continue protecting their identity and Gavin Newsom can pound sand”, we get a lawsuit

Trump admin sues to block California’s ICE mask ban

The Trump administration filed a lawsuit against the state of California on Monday, alleging its law banning federal immigration officers from wearing face masks is unconstitutional.

The lawsuit, filed in the Central District of California against California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D), says that the state does not have the authority to regulate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

Newsom signed the No Secret Police Act and No Vigilantes Act into law in September. The pair of measures, which take effect on Jan. 1, ban federal law enforcement officers from wearing masks while carrying out operations in the state and require non-uniformed officers to visibly display identification while performing their duties, respectively.

Before signing the acts into law, Newsom said that federal immigration officers would no longer be “hidden from accountability” while conducting operations in the Golden State.

There would be no reason for federal law enforcement to wear masks if the Democratic base wasn’t unhinged and would harass the agents and their families.

The suit also alleges that the California laws violate Article 5, Section 301 of the U.S. Code, which states that agency heads “may prescribe regulations for the government of his department [and] the conduct of its employees.”

In a Department of Justice (DOJ) press release on Monday, Attorney General Pam Bondi said the California laws “discriminate against the federal government and are designed to create risk for our agents.”

I wonder if the Trump admin wants to take some shots at Newsom and Democrats for allowing everyone but federal law enforcement to wear masks. We see Antifa and others protesting and even getting violent wearing masks, but, no ban from California.

After Newsom signed the acts into law, the Trump administration instructed ICE officers to ignore their requirements. The Department of Homeland Security, citing an increase in threats towards ICE officers, said on the social platform X on Sept. 22, it will “NOT comply with Gavin Newsom’s unconstitutional mask ban.”

So, why the suit? To embarrass Gavin and Democrats.

Your Fault: Earth Has Tilted 31.5 Inches

By William Teach November 18, 2025 – 7:00 am

You just had to drive your fossil fueled vehicle instead of spending $3500 on a E-bike

Earth Has Tilted 31.5 Inches. That Shouldn’t Happen.

Water has power. So much power, in fact, that pumping Earth’s groundwater can change the planet’s tilt and rotation. It can also impact sea-level rise and other consequences of climate change.

Pumping groundwater appears to have a greater consequence than ever previously thought. But now—thanks to a study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters—we can see that, in less than two decades, Earth has tilted 31.5 inches as a result of pumping groundwater. This equates to.24 inches of sea level rise.

“Earth’s rotational pole actually changes a lot,” Ki-Weon Seo, a geophysicist at Seoul National University and study lead, says in a statement. “Our study shows that among climate-related causes, the redistribution of groundwater actually has the largest impact on the drift of the rotational pole.”

Why did they have to drag the climate scam into this?

The study included data from 1993 through 2010, and showed that the pumping of as much as 2,150 gigatons of groundwater has caused a change in the Earth’s tilt of roughly 31.5 inches. The pumping is largely for irrigation and human use, with the groundwater eventually relocating to the oceans.

So, for irrigation, food production, and more. But, no, they had to jump in with the scam.

In the study, researchers modeled observed changes in the drift of Earth’s rotational pole and the movement of water. Across varying scenarios, the only model that matched the drift was one that included 2,150 gigatons of groundwater distribution.

That would be about 1/50 millionth of the globes circumference. That’s a lot smaller than a rounding error. Do we really have instrumentation that precise? But, wait, what was that about modeled? From the study

Climate model estimates show significant groundwater depletion during the 20th century, consistent with global mean sea level (GMSL) budget analysis. However, prior to the Argo float era, in the early 2000’s, there is little information about steric sea level contributions to GMSL, making the role of groundwater depletion in this period less certain. We show that a useful constraint is found in observed polar motion (PM). In the period 1993–2010, we find that predicted PM excitation trends estimated from various sources of surface mass loads and the estimated glacial isostatic adjustment agree very well with the observed. Among many contributors to the PM excitation trend, groundwater storage changes are estimated to be the second largest (4.36 cm/yr) toward 64.16°E. Neglecting groundwater effects, the predicted trend differs significantly from the observed. PM observations may also provide a tool for studying historical continental scale water storage variations.

So, not really data, just “we think”. This might have had more impact if they just stayed with environmental component, but, not, the media seems to be required to include the cult in everything.

Illegal Immigrant Arrest Surge To Start In Raleigh

By William Teach November 18, 2025 – 6:45 am

I’m so looking forward to the nutballs protesting over the federal government enforcing federal law

Immigration agent surge planned for Raleigh starting Tuesday, mayor says

Raleigh’s mayor told CBS 17 Monday night the Department of Homeland Security will be sending a contingent of U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents to Raleigh starting on Tuesday.

“We have been made aware that Customs and Border Protection are coming to Raleigh,” Raleigh Mayor Janet Cowell said in a news release just after 8:20 p.m.

Cowell said she has been in communication with the governor’s office, Raleigh police chief, and city manager, but the deployment of agents is not a coordinated effort with the Department of Homeland Security.

“While the Raleigh Police Department is not involved in immigration enforcement, we are committed to protecting our residents and to following the law. I can confirm that RPD has not participated in any immigration planning activities,” part of a statement from Cowell said.

“Protecting our residents”

Raleigh is in Wake County

Just after 8 p.m., N.C. Gov. Josh Stein released a statement about an immigration crackdown for Raleigh.

“Our office is aware of reports that the Border Patrol is bringing its operation to Raleigh. Once again, I call on federal agents to target violent criminals, not neighbors walking down the street, going to church, or putting up Christmas decorations,” Stein said in a social media statement. “Stop targeting people simply going about their lives because of the color of their skin, as you are doing in Charlotte.”

Why do Democrats work so hard to protect every illegal?

CNN: “Even Though Trump Defunded PBS, They’re Still Here”

By William Teach November 17, 2025 – 3:39 pm

I don’t think CNN realizes they are making the exact point that PBS didn’t actually need federal government funding

PBS, defunded by Trump, says ‘we’re still here’ with big new Ken Burns documentary

Sunday’s premiere of Ken Burns’ new PBS series “The American Revolution” doubles as an attention-grabbing statement, months after President Donald Trump succeeded in stripping away all federal funding for public broadcasting in the US.

The message is clear: “We are still here.”

The documentary, which airs over six consecutive nights, is “a really big moment” for PBS, said Paula Kerger, the organization’s CEO.

There has been some marketplace confusion as a result of Trump’s campaign to defund public media.

Since the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is winding down as a consequence of the funding cut, “people thought that meant that we were gone,” Kerger said.

However, the big and loud marketing campaign for “The American Revolution” is proving otherwise.

Do CNN and PBS realize that they’ve literally made the point that PBS had no need of taxpayer funding? That they can survive on their own?

Despite painful layoffs and other cost-cutting measures, the public broadcasting system remains intact and is still capable of HBO- and Netflix-sized moments, such as the latest from Burns.

More power to them. Just, no taxpayer money to them, at least at the federal level.

Some local stations are more affected than others. Those in bigger markets generally have more donors and other sources of revenue; those in smaller markets have fewer such resources. Public media officials have warned that stations in rural and hard-to-reach areas are at particular risk of going off the airwaves in the months and years ahead.

Most couldn’t care less in small markets: they are mostly Republican voters and do not listen or watch. Plus, they have a large number of outlets to turn to for news, entertainment, and weather. I’m confident they can at least get The Weather Channel or Accuweather. Seriously, PBS has no one to blame but themselves for going hardcore leftists, Bush 43 deranged, and Trump deranged. Being shills for Democrats

A lot of the libs watching and reviewing are saying it is history through the lens of today. Shouldn’t it be history as it actually happened? BTW, the point about it being Lexington Green is wrong, as to why that battle happened. The gun grabbers started it.

I can’t really comment, haven’t seen it, probably won’t. I’ve seen more than enough on the Revolutionary War, but, since libs love it, it’s probably moonbat droppings.

Who’s Up For A Milkshake Tax In The UK?

By William Teach November 17, 2025 – 10:30 am

The British government needs to make people healthier

Rachel Reeves to announce milkshake tax
Budget to end sugar tax exemption for dairy drinks as Chancellor scrambles to fill hole in public finances

And grab more money.

Rachel Reeves is expected to announce a tax on milkshakes in the Budget later this month as part of efforts to make the public healthier.

The Chancellor is preparing to confirm she will end the exemption that milk-based drinks currently have from taxes on sugary beverages.

At present, the Soft Drinks Industry Levy applies to drinks such as Coca-Cola and Irn Bru. Producers pay at least 18p per litre on soft drinks containing 5g or more of sugar per 100ml.

As well as ending the dairy exemption, the Chancellor is planning to cut the threshold to 4g per 100ml. The changes will take effect in April 2027 and raise between £50m and £100m under current Budget plans.

Obviously, making people less fat helps with stopping ‘climate change’.

“More than seven in 10 soft drinks sold in the UK are already low or no sugar, and most are now at the limits of what’s technically possible to reformulate.

“Moving the goalposts again, at a time when families are under immense financial pressure, would add £220m in costs and push up shelf prices by as much as five per cent – all for a calorie reduction equivalent to half a grape per person each day.

Really, just like the photo shows, and the subhead shows, the government is trying to raise more money due to their idiotic spending rather than tightening the government belt, spending the money wisely, booting out all the illegals and fake asylum seekers who suck up taxpayer funds, stop giving stupid amounts of taxpayer money to scam NGOs, and so forth. If we are having money problems in our own lives we can’t simply start taxing other people to finance that, right?

Cult: Amazon Being Cut Down For COP30 Is “Complex”

By William Teach November 17, 2025 – 7:00 am

It’s rather bad optics to see tons of trees cut down to build a road (using petroleum based asphalt) to bring the 40K+ who took fossil fueled flights to a climate conference, eh? I’m actually surprised it too this long for the doomsday cult to come up with an Excuse, but, I guess there being so much press about as of late necessitated it

Fact check: Was rainforest cut down for a highway to COP30?

World leaders, policy makers and environmentalists are currently gathering in Belem, Brazil, to discuss climate change. But every year, the World Climate Conference, or COP, also sparks criticism as thousands of attendees travel from around the world to be there. At this year’s event, dubbed COP30, one criticism in particular went viral on social media.

Claim: Amazon rain forest was felled to build a highway for COP30.

DW Fact check: Misleading

This claim has already been circulating for eight months but is currently regaining momentum while the conference is on. Some social media posts with this claim are getting more than a million views

Misleading!

But the reality behind these viral claims is more complex than the posts on social media make out.

Complex!

Yes, it is true, parts of the rain forest were felled to build a four-lane highway approximately 13.2 kilometers long close to Belem. The highway is called Avenida Liberdade. But, according to local officials, this was not done just for COP30. Plans for construction of a highway here date back to 2012, long before Belem was chosen to host this year’s conference. However other media have reported that the highway is linked to this year’s conference.

Oh, OK, it’s completely true. Everything is is just mule fritters. It matters not if there were plans since 2012: the fact is the construction started recently, in order to connect Belem to the conference center. Here was the BBC, one of the first to report this back in March 2025

A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém.

In other words, it was being built in March. And they did it for COP30.

DW reached out to the BBC for reaction. “The BBC report is based on state governments documents and an interview with a state government official — two of which directly link the project to COP30,” a BBC spokesperson said.

The BBC also points to a press release by the government of Para, dating back to November last year, titled, “Infrastructure projects by the State Government for COP 30 are progressing in Belem.”

Yeah, it’s not complex. It’s not complicated. It’s not misleading.

Good Start: Immigration Officials Arrest 81 On Day 1

By William Teach November 17, 2025 – 6:45 am

There’s a lot of caterwauling in Liberal World

Border Patrol agents arrests 81 people on first day of Charlotte operation

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents arrested 81 people during their first day of immigration enforcement operations in Charlotte, according to the commander overseeing the effort.

The operation, also known as “Charlotte’s Web,” began Saturday morning, with the first reported sighting on South Boulevard, near Baleada Bar and Grill.

Commander Gregory K. Bovino described those arrested as having “significant criminal and immigration history.”

“81, many of whom had significant criminal and immigration history, are off the streets,” Bovino said, adding that more details about those apprehended would be released on social media.

As of Sunday morning, agents resumed making arrests. Bovino posted about four arrests on his X feed, stating each person has a criminal history and emphasizing the purpose of CBP’s presence in Charlotte.

Of course, the Usual Suspects will say the illegals are all perfect darlings

Is this the guy you want to protect, Dems?

Asha Patel, a community organizer with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, shared her frustrations with WCNC Charlotte.

“We’re here to say that we will not tolerate this, and we demand Border Patrol leave our city immediately, she said.

She can say it as much as she wants, but, federal law is not in her corner.
