World Leaders Who Took Long Fossil Fueled Flights Snipe At Trump

By William Teach November 7, 2025 – 7:15 am

I love how these yahoos yammer about Doing Something but that’s only for Other People

‘Trump is against humankind’: World leaders at climate summit take swipes at absent president

Donald Trump isn’t at the global climate summit in Brazil. But he was on the minds of some of his fellow world leaders Thursday, who used their time on stage to try to isolate the U.S. president and his hard-line opposition to their agenda.

In speeches meant to highlight their support for efforts to halt rising temperatures, a few of the heads of state at the COP30 climate talks in the Amazonian port city of Belém could not resist the chance to admonish the U.S. president directly.

“Mr. Trump is against humankind,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro, who pointed to the American president’s absence from the gathering and called for an economy free of oil and natural gas.

And how did Petro get to Belem? I’m betting not in a sailing ship

Gabriel Boric, Chile’s president, took Trump to task for a September speech to the U.N. General Assembly in which the U.S. leader denounced the notion of human-caused climate change as a “con job” and a “hoax made up by people with evil intentions.”

“That is a lie,” Boric said, emphasizing the importance of science and facts. “We might have legitimate discussions about how to face these things, but we cannot deny them.”

Did he take a bike or an EV?

When asked for comment, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers responded that “President Trump will not allow the best interest of the American people to be jeopardized by the Green Energy Scam.

“These Green Dreams are killing other countries, but will not kill ours thanks to President Trump’s commonsense energy agenda!” she said by email.

I just don’t get it: time and time again those with a platform never say “hey, did y’all in the media ask how these people whining and saying we need to Do Something got there?” The Trump admin could have included photos of the private jets for all these wackos.

The speeches from a handful of leaders displayed, at times, the anger and dismay that countries feel about the U.S. breaking its promises and attempting to undermine the global effort to tackle global warming. Other leaders tried to brush off the American absence as simply an act of economic self-harm.

Obama promised. It never went through the US Senate, so, if Obama wants to do something in his own life, have at it.

Just a small number of European leaders turned up, while some other countries have sent ministerial representatives. Canada’s Mark Carney, a former U.N. climate representative, stayed home. The EU’s 27 member countries could not agree on a climate goal to present at the conference until Wednesday morning — and only after watering down existing pollution-cutting rules to get a deal. Also absent is Chinese President Xi Jinping, whose country tops the U.S. as the world’s No. 1 greenhouse gas polluter.

But, hey, around 40K other people will be taking long fossil fueled trips to see and be seen in cult.

PRC Judge Sara Puts More Restrictions On Immigration Cops Or Something

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

Seriously, she really thinks she is able to put restrictions on federal law enforcement despite Congress having authorized the arrests and never having passed legislation with any of these restrictions

Federal Judge Imposes Strict Restrictions on Immigration Agents’ Use of Force Against Protesters, Media, Clergy

Finding that federal immigration enforcement agents repeatedly used force that “shocks the conscience” and then lied about their actions, U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis issued a sweeping injunction Thursday designed to permanently rein in agents’ use of tear gas, pepper balls and other crowd control measures.

Ellis ruled that there was ample evidence that federal agents had violated Chicagoans’ First Amendment rights to free speech and free assembly to protest what the Trump administration calls “Operation Midway Blitz” while also impermissibly preventing the free exercise of religion by targeting members of the clergy with force.

“The use of force shocks the conscience,” Ellis said. “This conduct shows no sign of stopping.”

A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security vowed to appeal Ellis’ order, calling her an “activist judge that risks the lives and livelihoods of law enforcement officers.” (snip)

To begin her order, Ellis read Carl Sandberg’s famed poem, “Chicago,” in full. That poem dubbed Chicago the “City of Big Shoulders.”

“And having answered so I turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer,” Ellis read, pausing to look at the packed courtroom as she did so.

As usual, moonbat judges are high on feelings and short on law. What will happen is that the Trump admin will appeal, and there’s about a 90% chance the appeals court will say that Judge Sara has vastly exceeded her authority.

HotCold Take: We’re Losing The EV Race Because It’s Not About Climate Change

By William Teach November 6, 2025 – 3:00 pm

Nice try, Sparky

Opinion – We’re losing the EV race because we still think it’s about the environment

While Beijing built gigafactories, the United States debated tax credits. China saw electric vehicles as an industrial strategy — we saw them as climate policy. Now, China commands 60 percent of global battery electric vehicle sales and dominates the battery supply chain that will power tomorrow’s cars, trucks and buses. America barely reaches 16 percent. (snip)

That same year, Beijing launched “Made in China 2025,” an industrial policy to accelerate advanced manufacturing capabilities and reduce foreign dependence. But China’s leaders had identified “new energy vehicles” as a strategic sector long before that — as early as 2006 — and followed up with a National Energy-Saving and New Energy Vehicle Development Plan in 2012. When “Made in China 2025” elevated electric vehicles as a national priority, the industry exploded.

Meanwhile, the U.S. took a wrong turn. Instead of focusing on the electric vehicle as a breakthrough technology, Washington framed it as an environmental issue — one that remains politically divisive.

Beijing forced this on their citizens, in a much stronger manner than the US and state governments did. And, it wasn’t just Washington, it was the climate cult, most of whom didn’t buy EVs for themselves, because they are inconvenient.

Electric vehicles are not just clean cars, but rather computers on wheels, connected to data, chips and infrastructure. Losing the electric vehicle race means losing leverage over critical technology standards, supply chains and industrial jobs. This isn’t just about automakers; it’s about national power and the future of our tech ecosystem.

Sounds like a bunch of BS to me as the cult tries to reframe why they want to force US citizens into EVs

The U.S. must start treating electric vehicles as an advanced technology sector central to our economic competitiveness and innovation power. National leaders should move beyond purchase subsidies to focus on industrial build-out, software-defined vehicle research and development, and secure data infrastructure.

And we don’t have to do it alone. Allies from Japan to Germany face the same challenge. Joint battery production, shared industrial standards, and coordinated investment can strengthen all our industries — together.

Electric vehicles aren’t a climate accessory. They’re the next platform for global technological power. America can’t afford to sit in the passenger seat.

Nah, I’m good. Really, there’s been little change in guitars for a long, long time. Not a whole lot of difference between my 2020 Epiphone Les Paul Studio and the original Les Paul created. Don’t need all sorts of stuff. Works just fine. And I’m more than happy with my Accord Hybrid. If you want an EV, get one. Stop trying to force others into them.

Oh, and then there’s the next story on Yahoo News

EV drivers could face new tax in Budget

Drivers of electric vehicles (EVs) could face the prospect of a new tax in this month’s Budget.

With pressure on the chancellor to find tens of billions of pounds in additional revenue, the BBC understands there have been “conversations” within government about the possibility of a new levy on EVs.

A government spokesperson told the BBC: “Fuel duty covers petrol and diesel, but there’s no equivalent for electric vehicles. We want a fairer system for all drivers.”

“Buy an EV and you’ll save money over driving petrol vehicles. Oh, and here’s a new tax to erase those savings.” When government talks about “fairer”, watch your wallet. And freedom.

Surprise: Jewish NYC Fire Chief Resigns Day After Mamdani Wins

By William Teach November 6, 2025 – 10:30 am

I wonder why

From the article

Fire Commissioner Robert Tucker handed in his resignation Wednesday morning — just one day after Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor, The Post has learned.

Tucker, a proud Jewish philanthropist and businessman, informed Mayor Eric Adams that he would step down from the role he has held for just over 12 months on December 19, according to sources.

The FDNY boss was concerned about Mamdani’s anti-Israel hostility, with a source noting that Tucker’s support of the Jewish state “does not align with the new mayor.” (snip)

“I will leave this critical role on December 19, 2025. Between now and then, I will continue to lead the greatest fire department in the world and will ensure an orderly transition.”

What often happens with people like this is they wait and see if the new incoming mayor wants them to stay on the job, because they are good at it. And Tucker was very good at the job, settling things down after a tough time with the previous commissioner. Tucker knows Mamdani is an Israel and Jew hater

The Mayor-elect’s transition team pointed to comments he made during a Wednesday press conference when asked about Tucker’s exit.

“I am willing to consider anyone to work in my City Hall so long as they are committed to working for my administration and to delivering on an agenda to lower costs for New Yorkers in the most expensive city in the United States,” Mamdani told reporters.

Anyone who doesn’t want to fall in line with his radical agenda, including the radical Islam agenda, the Jew hatred, can leave. We can be sure that lots of members of the NYPD will leave; will we see what happens in the FDNY. There are reportedly about 200 employees who are Jewish. And surely many who are not on board with the hardcore Mamdani agenda.

Don’t forget

Nearly a million New Yorkers ready to flee NYC if Mamdani becomes mayor — possibly igniting largest exodus in history: poll

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers are prepared to bolt from the Big Apple if socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins Tuesday’s mayoral race — potentially setting the stage for the largest population flight in US history, an alarming new poll warned early Monday.

Around 765,000 people of the 8.4 million residents who call New York City home are preparing to leave, with about 9% of New Yorkers sharing that they would “definitely” leave the city if Mamdani is elected the 111th mayor, the Daily Mail reported, citing a survey conducted by J.L. Partners.

Another 25% of New Yorkers — about 2.12 million — said they would “consider” packing up and leaving.

Among high earners, 7% of those making over $250,000 a year said they would definitely flee.

What do the numbers actually end up looking like? I guess we’ll see. Hopefully the liberals who are not Mamdani supporters will flee to other liberal areas, not Southern states like during COVID, bringing their leftist opinions with that.

Weird: COP30 Host Brazil Drilling For Oil In Amazon

By William Teach November 6, 2025 – 7:00 am

The NY Times is shocked over this

Save the Amazon or Drill for Oil? Brazil Says It Can Do Both.

When President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil returned to power, he had an ambitious goal: restoring his country’s image as a champion of climate action.

He vowed to slash Brazil’s emissions of planet-warming gases, raise global funds to tackle the climate crisis and curb the rampant destruction of the Amazon rainforest, just as he had done in his first two terms in office.

Hosting this month’s U.N. climate summit, which for the first time is being held in the Amazon, was to serve as a sort of victory lap, offering Mr. Lula, a leftist, a chance to cement his nation’s return to the world stage as a leading voice on climate diplomacy.

Does this including cutting down lots of the Amazon to build a road to transport the 40K+ people coming to COP30 via fossil fueled flights, then have them drive on said road in fossil fueled vehicles?

Yet three years after returning to office, Mr. Lula heads into the world’s most important climate talks with a more checkered track record.

On his watch, Brazil has succeeded in dramatically reducing deforestation in the Amazon, which plays a crucial role in absorbing the greenhouse gases warming the planet. But Brazil has also angered climate advocates by trying to loosen environmental laws and allowing, just weeks before the summit, oil drilling near the mouth of the Amazon River for the first time.

“This sends a really bad signal to the world,” said Marcio Astrini, executive secretary of the Climate Observatory, a coalition of environmental groups. “It’s impossible to imagine a worse moment for this.”

I’d think the clearcutting and 40K+ taking fossil fueled trips would be a bad signal. That’s just me.

Mr. Lula has defended the decision to drill near the Amazon, arguing that oil revenues will help Brazil finance its transition to cleaner forms of energy.

But the controversy threatens to tarnish Brazil’s image abroad and weaken its clout in the climate negotiations, known this year as COP30, at a pivotal moment, as nations prepare to debate moving away from fossil fuels to limit rising global temperatures.

Making climate cult signals is easy: actually having affordable, dependable energy is hard, hence the petroleum drilling. Don’t forget, roughly 50% of every barrel is used for around 700 products other than fuels and oils.

And Brazil’s seemingly contradictory approach underscores a key challenge facing Mr. Lula and other leaders around the world: How can countries balance environmental ambitions with the economic and political realities they face at home?

They can’t. But, the big shots do not care, because none o the policies they push hurt their own lives.

People’s Republik Of Colorado Passes Tax Hitting Those Making $300K And Up

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

Next year’s headline from Credentialed Media outlets: “Colorado tax revenue has plummeted as people making $300K plus abandon the state”

Colorado voters overwhelmingly approve new tax revenue to bolster funding for free school meals program

unintended consequencesColorado voters on Tuesday gave resounding approval to twin tax measures that will boost funding for the state’s free school meals program, according to unofficial election results.

With more than 1.1 million votes reported — representing more than a quarter of the state’s total active registered voters — as of 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Proposition MM was passing with more than 57% of the vote, while Proposition LL was passing with over 63%. That represents a margin of victory of more than 14 percentage points and 27 percentage points, respectively.

To increase revenue, Proposition MM will further raise income taxes on households making over $300,000 or more by limiting standard and itemized tax deductions. That will equate to an average annual tax increase of $327 for single filers and $574 increase for joint filers. An estimated 200,000 households, roughly 6% of households filing taxes, will be affected.

The measure is projected to raise as much as $95 million more a year for the school meals program.

“Why are all these Coloradons making $299,000 a year now?”

Proposition LL will allow the state to keep additional tax revenue for the program that would otherwise be refunded to taxpayers making over $300,000. Under the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights, or TABOR, the state must ask voters to allow it to keep tax money for programs when that revenue is more than what was initially needed.

Without the additional revenue, school districts would have been forced to limit free meals to only certain students starting next year. Some schools are also worried about losing their ability to run a lunch program as a result.

So, basically, the PRC schools will be acting as parents for all students, regardless of whether they need the meal or not. Seriously, only 11% of PRC kids are at or below poverty level. Their parents can feed them, and do. This is about indoctrination, as well as knowing that the money is going to be going into a lot of friendly pockets.

You just know that a lot of these same Democrats who voted for these ballot initiatives and are above $300K will look to hide their income, maybe taking more in revenue that would be capital gains, keeping them under the $300K. Or, just leave the state, and take their businesses with them. You can bet the politicians will hide their money.

AP: You Can Totally Reduce Your Pet’s Carbon Footprint Or Something

By William Teach November 5, 2025 – 4:37 pm

Even most Warmists will probably agree to leave the pets out of cult business

Let’s look at the AP article

The whole “pets are family members” idea isn’t just a sweet sentiment. Data shows that pet owners are increasingly buying food that resembles their own diets.

The trend toward refrigerated, “fresh” or even “human-grade” pet food can come with a price beyond the pet food budget.

One of the most climate intensive decisions we make is whether to own a pet. It’s for the same reason that humans have a big impact: They eat every day. And most of them eat meat. The environmental impact of meat includes the land the animal lived on, the food it ate, the waste it generated and other factors.

“What else do pets do? We have to feed them. I think that that’s why it’s number one,” said Allison Reser, director of sustainability and innovation at the Pet Sustainability Coalition.

Cultists

The marketing of higher-quality pet food suggests that it’s healthier.

But there isn’t much evidence to suggest refrigerated, fresh or human-grade food leads to better pet health outcomes, according to Alison Manchester, assistant clinical sciences professor at Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine.

“I think a lot of it is playing on marketing and treating pets as members of the family,” said Manchester.

Billy Nicholles, pet food researcher with Bryant Research, said the trend of using human-grade meat in pet food increases its climate impact because pets aren’t just eating animal parts that would have otherwise gone unused.

“We definitely can’t dismiss these impacts altogether by just saying these are the offcuts, these are environmentally negligible,” he said.

Piss off. And that article keeps going and going. It’s not news, it’s simply doomsday cult doctrine.
