Your Fault: Vanuatu Is Still Confronting An Unthinkable Furure

By William Teach April 30, 2026 – 3:16 pm

Weird, because the socialists called Vanuatu one of the happiest places on Earth back in 2007

Climate change is forcing Vanuatu to confront an unthinkable future

climate doom yearly

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

Nguna is one of the smaller of some 83 islands that make up the South Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu. It hardly rates a mention in the global politics of climate change, but its people want their voices to be heard. After all, they are living with the effects—close up.

Inneth Tasururu teaches at the little school in Unakap, a village on Nguna just off the coast of Efate, where the capital, Port Vila, stands. Not so long ago she was a pupil playing in its playground. When asked where the sea was then, her eyes glaze over a little and she says just one word: “Far.” Locals estimate that in recent decades the shoreline in Unakap has come in by something like 20 metres. The school’s old football field is under water, and attempts to build coastal defences have all failed, washed away or broken by high tides and storms.

After each storm, changes can be seen. The shores of Nguna island and its neighbours are littered with fallen trees, undermined by erosion. Other trees have most of their roots exposed, ready to fall next. Metal spikes stand out in places, the ruins of failed defences, and the path to the school is being eaten away by the waves. “All the communities in the islands are affected,” says Whitely Tasururu, a local man who advises the government on the issue.

Vanuatu is sponsoring a United Nations resolution on climate change, to press for financial help based on a legal opinion last year by the International Court of Justice that countries can be held liable for their inaction on climate change. America is doing its best to scuttle this motion, and any action would anyway surely come too late for much of Vanuatu. People there laugh at Donald Trump’s claim that climate change is a “con job”. In Port Vila, Vanuatu’s Ministry of Climate Change has collected evidence that suggests the sea level is rising all around the country. According to the country’s meteorological service, it has risen by 11-15cm since 1993. That brings severe problems such as saltwater intrusion.

Blah blah blah. They have been complaining about this for well over 10 years. My first post on them blaming a hurricane, something that happens out in the Pacific, on ‘climate change’ was back in 2015. I know other Skeptics, such as Tom Nelson, noted their BS way further back. And it is BS. Their island nation has a lot of airports, and would basically be a full 3rd world nation without fossil fueled ships and planes bringing in modern goods, along with food. They’ve polluted their fresh water supply. They really just want free, no strings attached money. It is all a scam. It’s very tedious.

Wacko Liberal Arrested After Threatening Trump At Apex Car Wash

By William Teach April 30, 2026 – 10:30 am

Meth was involved, but, that was surely just the helper on the way to Crazy Town

Let’s go to WRAL

A man is due in court Thursday after he was accused of making violent threats toward President Donald Trump in Apex.

Apex police, the SBI, the FBI and a bomb squad all responded to Tidal Wave Auto Spa on Lake Pine Drive in Apex on Wednesday afternoon after police said a man made violent political threats. The entire business was evacuated. (The Secret Service also showed up) (snip)

Daniel Rodney Swain, 41, of Charleston, South Carolina, was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine and resisting a public officer. He is also accused of having a fake license plate. (snip)

“So it had to be something more than that that he would’ve had to have said or done, or that they found in his car or at his home…because I suspect there will be a search of his home,” (Former Judge Carl) Fox continued.

Police said the threats were political in nature, which prompted a “multi-agency response.”

These people are loons. I wonder what they will find when they search his house.

We Can Help Solve Hotcoldwetdry If You Just Give Up One Meat Meal A Week

By William Teach April 30, 2026 – 7:15 am

Shouldn’t all Warmists be going meatless all the time and eating bugs?

Swap In Just One Meatless Meal a Week for an Easy Climate Win

As we emerge from winter, spring brings the promise of leafy greens, ripe red berries, and crisp asparagus—and the joy of planting new fruits and vegetables in home gardens.

All of this serves as new inspiration for the meals you put on your plate. As you test out budding in-season produce and add new plants to your garden, consider another change you can make to bring fresh life to your spring meals: eating a plant-based meal once a week.

“Vegan diets or plant-based diets, are vastly less resource intensive than animal-based diets,” says Gidon Eshel, research professor of environmental physics at Bard College, who has studied the environmental impacts of plant-based diets. (snip)

Research has shown that what we eat really can have an environmental impact. One 2023 study found that plant-based diets produce 75% less heat-trapping gas, generate 75% less water pollution, and use 75% less land for growing than meat-rich diets. Just one meatless meal a week can reduce your annual carbon footprint by as much as not driving your car for a month.

As you start shopping, consider visiting your local farmers markets for produce—they often carry in-season fruits and vegetables grown locally, adding another bonus for lowering the emissions impact of your meal.

How about this? Mind your own f’ing business, cultists. Go practice what you preach. Leave the rest of us alone.

Trump Admin Sues NJ Over Attempting To Block Federal Agents From Wearing Mask

By William Teach April 30, 2026 – 7:00 am

First term Trump would have simply ignored New Jersey’s law, daring any cop in the state to attempt to arrest an NICE agent. Second term Trump has good people working for him, people who will impose what he wants. Also, the masks would be unnecessary if Democrat voters weren’t unhinged and violent

Trump administration sues NJ over law limiting masks for cops, ICE agents

The U.S. Department of Justice sued New Jersey over a state law that limits when law enforcement can hide their identities while interacting with the public.

The federal government argued the law, which also requires officers to identify themselves before detaining or arresting someone, improperly seeks to regulate the actions of federal officials. The law was pushed by New Jersey Democrats to prevent immigration agents from wearing masks during enforcement operations.

“New Jersey lacks the legal authority to regulate the Federal Government at all, much less through a law targeted at core governmental functions such as law enforcement,” the department said in a pages-long preliminary statement that began by quoting President Donald Trump.

The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court.

The law, which Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) signed in March along with two other bills aimed at limiting immigration enforcement, restricts when law enforcement officers at any level of government can shield their identity, including with masks, while on duty and interacting with the public.

Well, if this goes the same as the case for California which tried the same thing, NJ will lose

The judges said that the state law “purports to override the federal government’s power to determine whether, how, and when to publicly identify its officers.” And they add, “in so doing, it aims to regulate the manner and conditions under which federal agents can enforce federal law.”

A California appeals court has blocked a move by Gov. Gavin Newsom to force ICE agents to wear identification, saying that the state couldn’t regulate actions by the federal government.

That’s the problem with trying to pass laws that enforce your unhinged views when said laws are un-Constitutional. All to protect illegal alien criminals

Wacko Dems Introduce Climate Change Education Act

By William Teach April 29, 2026 – 4:44 pm

A national indoctrination in schools bill, introduced by people with massive carbon footprints. I wonder how much they all stand to gain monetarily if this becomes law?

The Climate Change Education Act returns to Congress yet again

The Climate Change Education Act is yet again in Congress. S. 4377 and the identical H.R. 8406, introduced on April 22, 2026, and April 21, 2026, respectively, would authorize the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to institute a competitive grant program aimed in part at developing and improving educational material and teacher preparation on the topic of climate change.

Among the findings listed in the bill are “[T]he evidence for human-induced climate change is overwhelming and undeniable” and “Only 30 percent of middle school and 45 percent of high school science teachers understand the extent of the scientific consensus on climate change” — a reference to the 2014-2015 NCSE/Penn State survey of climate change educators (PDF).

“The Climate Change Education Act addresses a critical need,” NCSE Executive Director Amanda L. Townley commented. “Accurate and effective climate education requires high-quality, evidence-based teaching resources with robust support for educators. The act would benefit millions of students across the country by focusing on both of these critical areas of need.”

S. 4377 is sponsored by Edward J. Markey (D-Massachusetts) and eight of his colleagues in the Senate. H.R. 8406 is sponsored by Debbie Dingell (D-Michigan) and one of her colleagues in the House. Similar bills from previous years include S. 4117 and H.R. 7946 in 2024, S. 966 in 2021, S. 477 in 2019, S. 2740 in 2018, H.R. 2310 in 2021, H.R. 2349 in 2019, and H.R. 5606 in 2018.

Not that it’s going to pass, not with a GOP controlled Congress, and not while Trump is president. Weird that they couldn’t get it through while Biden was POTUS, though, eh?

Washington Post Tries Some Deflection On Political Violence

By William Teach April 29, 2026 – 10:30 am

I’m really not surprised by this analysis piece

Trump is a target of political violence, but he’s hardly its only cause

To hear Donald Trump tell it, the attempts on his life are a measure of his singularity as a president.

“The people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact, they’re the ones that they go after,” Trump said Saturday night after a gunman rushed security at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, allegedly intent on assassinating the president and high-ranking members of his administration. “I hate to say I’m honored by that, but we’ve done a lot.”

There is no doubt that Trump has been impactful and historic, though the country is deeply divided over whether that has been for better or worse. Few figures in the modern era have generated both the devotion and the rage that he has.

But political violence — of which Trump has been the most high-profile recent target, but which has also been directed against figures across the political spectrum — has many roots.

Many! Like the constant number of Democrat voting wackos in the streets, throwing rocks, attacking police, fighting, and so forth? How about all those Dem voting transgenders who committed mass murder and left left wing manifestos?

And in some instances, it is hard to discern any reason at all. Authorities have yet to figure out a motive, or a set of them, behind Trump’s closest call: the shots that grazed his ear during a July 2024 outdoor campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and killed one person in the crowd and critically injured two others.

He was radicalized by Democrats. All that yammering about how dangerous Trump was, that he was literally Hitler.

“It is easier than ever for mentally ill individuals to become radicalized,” said Matthew Dallek, a political historian at George Washington University who has written extensively about extremist political movements. “When they’re radicalized, even if their agenda is not always crystal clear, they usually are responding to ideas and conspiracy theories circulating in the culture.”

Radicalized by Democrats

Meanwhile, the president and his allies have seized upon the threats against him to justify a fresh crackdown on his foes. On Tuesday, former FBI director James B. Comey was indicted by a federal grand jury for a second time, after charges lodged last year were dismissed by a federal judge. In the new case, he is charged with threatening the president by posting, and then removing, an image on Instagram last year of seashells spelling out “86 47.”

Trump is the 47th president, and “86” is slang for getting rid of something. Administration officials claimed that Comey was advocating the president’s murder. Comey said he viewed the shell arrangement, which he saw while taking a walk, as a political statement, not a call to violence.

While I personally do not agree with the indictment, 86 means killing someone. It’s a cop code. And here you have the former director of the FBI casually calling to kill Trump, which entices the unhinged liberal base.

What Trump and those around him do not mention is that prominent Democrats have also been targets of political violence in recent years. Those incidents include the 2022 bludgeoning in his home of Paul Pelosi, the husband of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (California), then the speaker of the House; a 2020 plot by members of a right-wing paramilitary group to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer; the 2025 arson of the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion, where Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family were celebrating Passover; and the 2025 killings of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark.

Of course there are right wing wackos, but, the number doesn’t come close to the number of left wingers. Also, Shapiro is a Jew, and was firebombed by a hater of Jews and Israel.

The Polarization Research Lab, a multi-university collaboration, collected data in the wake of the September 2025 assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. It found that fewer than 1 percent of Americans considered murder for partisan reasons acceptable. “This near-total rejection demonstrates that there is no meaningful constituency for political violence in the United States,” its report found.

However, its numbers also indicated that upward of 90 percent of Americans fear political violence. Nearly a third said they were reluctant to put a political sign in their yard or bumper sticker on their car because they were worried about being targeted.

And it is mostly Republicans concerned with that, because few Republicans will attack someone or their property over a sign or bumper sticker. It’s mostly Democrats doing that.

Maybe the Washington Post should simply be saying “hey, Democrats, knock it off. Stop with the unhinged talk, especially you elected ones.”

Jeffries doubled down

Portugal To Spend $26 Billion To Deal With Blackouts Caused By ‘Climate Change’ (policies)

By William Teach April 29, 2026 – 7:15 am

Government: let’s create a problem. Government: let’s also spend a ton of money to fix the problem we created

Portugal launches $26.5 billion resilience plan after storms and blackout

Portugal’s government on Tuesday announced a 22.6 billion euro ($26.5 billion) investment programme ?to roll out over nine years, aimed at mitigating risks including ?climate change and power outages.

The plan was initiated after severe storms hit central mainland Portugal in January and February, causing damage worth an estimated 5.3 billion euros, and a ?crippling power outage in Spain and Portugal exactly a year ago.

The initiative, ?named Portugal Transformation, Recovery and Resilience, seeks to strengthen infrastructure, ?institutions, homes and businesses against threats linked to climate change, energy security, ?seismic activity and cyberattacks.

It will be 37% funded from the state budget, with ?private financing accounting for 34% of the total and European funds covering 19%.

Presenting the plan, Prime Minister Luis Montenegro said Portugal had been “hit hard in recent years by extreme ?weather events — droughts, heavy rain, floods and fires — occurring year after year ?with increasing destructive force”.

So, will private donors just kick in voluntarily?

(Jo Nova) Engineers were warning the grid was close to crashing due to excess solar

The mass blackouts in Spain and Portugal wrecked havoc on April 28 last year. At the time everyone accountable was feigning confusion, blaming it on a “rare atmospheric phenomenon” which might have set up mysterious oscillations in the line. They were bandying around terms like “ ‘induced atmospheric vibration’ and talking about extreme temperatures (you know, like 23 degrees C). But all along, the head honchos at Red Electrica knew it was due to an excess of solar power and a lack of reliable generation, because the technical staff had told them what was coming:

“Today was really bad, you all saw it”: new audio recordings confirm that Red Eléctrica knew three months before the blackout that the system was failing

Huh

(Not A Lot Of People Know That) Except, of course, it was solar power which was at front and centre of the blackouts, a fact which even the whitewash report could not disguise.

The catalyst for the blackout was a sudden loss of 2.2GW of electricity at Granada substation in southern Spain. The report does not appear to address why this happened, which you might have thought was crucial! But it is believed that one or two solar farms stopped transmitting because of negative prices – these resulted from too much solar generation for too little demand, and this is exactly how the market is supposed to work; negative prices lead to less generation, thus bringing the system into balance.

However solar power now makes up such a large part of Spain’s electricity (about 60% at the time of the blackouts), that the very system of negative pricing is a threat in itself to the grid.

As soon as that 2.2GW disappeared, voltages in the local grid plummeted, leading to a complicated chain reaction of grid disconnections. Within 30 seconds the entire Iberian peninsula was experiencing a complete blackout.

Instead of spending $26.5 billion on “resilience” and crap, how about spending money on making sure the grid won’t collapse, and that there are reliable, dependable power sources?

Trump Admin Requiring Enhanced Background Checks For Immigration Benefits

By William Teach April 29, 2026 – 7:00 am

I’m not sure why immigrants, illegal and illegal, are getting any benefits. Those here legally on any sort of visa should be able to pay for their own lives, and those here illegally should be sent packing

Trump administration mandates enhanced security checks for immigration applicants

The Trump administration is subjecting broad categories of immigrants applying for legal immigration benefits to enhanced security checks, and is pausing some cases while the changes are implemented, according to internal government documents obtained by CBS News.

Last week, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services distributed internal guidance instructing its officers to resubmit pending applications for different immigration benefits, including asylum, green cards and U.S. citizenship, to enhanced FBI background checks, the documents show.

Officers were directed to refrain from approving any pending cases that have not undergone the expanded background checks.

USCIS has long used FBI databases to vet immigration applications for potential national security or public safety concerns. But the documents indicate the enhanced security screenings were prompted by the FBI’s decision to grant USCIS greater access to its criminal history database, as part of an executive order by President Trump in February.

All involved will work to investigate to see if any of them have any criminal actions

“Such criminal actors may include foreign nationals with criminal histories who have entered or remained in the United States in violation of the immigration laws of the United States or who otherwise seek to violate the criminal laws of the United States,” the president said in his order.

The enhanced checks will affect pending applications for benefits for which applicants have to submit fingerprints, such as requests for green cards (permanent U.S. residency) and naturalization, according to the internal guidance. It will also apply to sponsorship petitions filed on behalf of relatives or fiancees of U.S. citizens or green card holders.

Obviously, this makes Democrats very upset. They really do not care if any of them have criminal histories. They certainly do not care if they hate America, if they are going to take advantage of America, if they are Islamic terrorists: they just want to create new voters.
