Overheated World Alert: US, Canada To See Rare Early Snow

By William Teach October 8, 2026 – 3:10 pm

It’s your fault that there are hurricanes in the Pacific off the Mexican coast and one brewing in the Gulf Of America all while snow is brewing in the north

‘First widespread snowfall’ in forecast. Why it’s a rare event

stop global warmingWhile Americans in the Southeast will be dealing with Hurricane Isaias and its remnants over the weekend of Oct. 10, folks in the opposite corner of the nation will be battling wintry, snowy weather.

“The first widespread snowfall of the season is expected across the Northern Rockies this weekend into early next week,” the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Weather Prediction Center said in a post on X on Oct. 7.

As much as a foot is possible in some of the highest elevations of the Rockies, forecasters said. “This will be a significant early-season snowfall for 6-12 inches of snow at elevations as low as 4,000 feet in the northern part of the Rockies from Saturday [Oct. 10] through Monday [Oct. 12],” AccuWeather senior meteorologist Brett Anderson said in an online forecast.

And

Map Shows Up to 18 Inches of Snow as 98 MPH Gusts Hit This Week

Up to 18 inches of snow is possible by early Thursday in the high-end scenario from the National Weather Service. NWS labels that layer experimental and puts the odds of exceeding it at about 1 in 10, with its expected totals running far lower. Drivers heading north this week also face hurricane-force gusts at elevation and the first frost of the season.

The heaviest band on the agency’s 72-hour high-end snowfall map, running into early Thursday, sits over the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire at 18 inches. Far northern Maine and the Adirondacks of northern New York reach 5 inches each in that run, while Colorado’s high country shows 1 to 2.

I’ll be honest, I do not see any snow on the radar, so, maybe that fizzled, but, the very notion that there could be snow on October 8th is horrible, all because you drove a fossil fueled vehicle.

Jews Threatened With Arrest In Londinstan At October 7 Vigil

By William Teach October 8, 2026 – 10:30 am

It’s London: of course the police did that (the Internet Archive version has no paragraph breaks, so, doing my best to figure them out)

Israel Supporters Are Threatened With Arrest at London October 7 Vigil as Hundreds of Protests Erupt Across the World

A group of Israel supporters at London said they were threatened with arrest Wednesday for trying to mark a vigil for October 7 victims as an anti-Israel march was allowed through the streets of the city.

“It’s disgusting that we can’t be here. We’ve been told we’ll be arrested for standing here with an Israeli flag,” one woman told GB News.

Anti-Israel protesters marched at London on the third anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel that left 1,200 people murdered and 251 kidnapped into Gaza. The Campaign Against Antisemitism posted a video on X of some marchers chanting “The State of Israel has got to go.” (snip)

The police imposed rules for the pro-Israel counter-protest requiring participants to stay in Russell Square. That led to complaints that the anti-Israel protesters were allowed to march but the pro-Israeli demonstration had to stay in one spot.

“We’re being stopped and they are being freely allowed to march for Hamas,” the woman added. “They are marching for a terrorist organization, there’s no point sugar coating it.”

No one is surprised that the London government went easy on Hamas supporters and hard on Jews, right?

Anti-Israel protesters label Mamdani a ‘traitor,’ accuse him of ‘genocide’ outside Oct 7 vigil

A group of anti-Israel protesters on Wednesday targeted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, calling him a “traitor,” accusing him of “genocide” and claiming he “cannot weaponize being brown anymore.”

The crowd of more than 100 demonstrators marched from City Hall to Union Square, where a vigil was held to mark the anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terror attacks in Israel. The vigil was organized as an evening of mourning for those killed in the Oct. 7 attacks and the bloodshed that followed, including Israelis and Palestinians.

The anti-Israel crowd was just outside the barricades of the Israelis for Peace Vigil, beating on drums and attempting to drown out the speakers, according to City & State New York.

Mamdani, who’s definitely on the side of the Palestinians, just learned that it takes very little for the Hardcores to turn on him

Pro-Palestine UCLA students ‘chanting for death and destruction’ of Israel on Oct. 7 anniversary

On the somber three-year anniversary of Hamas’ Oct. 7 massacre of 1,200 people in Israel, masked pro-Palestinian students wielding megaphones and wearing keffiyehs protested at UCLA, chanting, “Long live the intifada!”

A group of about 75 students and other supporters gathered on the university grounds in Westwood Wednesday.

Egged on by Students for Justice in Palestine organizers, the crowd chanted, “Resistance is glorious, we will be victorious” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

This is something that happened on college campuses around the US, and a goodly chunk of the ones doing this are white liberals, who have been indoctrinated into the Jew and Israel hatred. In London it’s just imports from Islamist nations.

Say, Could AI Solve Climate Doom?

By William Teach October 8, 2026 – 7:15 am

Well, only if something changes. Can you guess what?

Could AI Fix Climate Change? Probably Not Under Capitalism.

“There’s no question that in four or five years’ time, we’re going to use a lot more fossil fuel,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang told Ezra Klein of The New York Times. “But also, in the next decade in front of us, at no time in history are we better prepared to move to sustainable energy,” he added. “If you want to turn a corner on climate change, if you want a future that’s sustainable, lean into AI.”

It is perhaps surprising, given the tone of much mainstream discussion of artificial intelligence, that the man at the helm of the world’s most valuable company, which produces chips essential to the new technology, was agnostic about whether AI would stop climate change. “It could be solar, it could be nuclear, it could be fission, fusion, hydro, you name it,” Huang said in his hour-long interview with Klein. The future would be great, but he was uncertain about how. His rhetoric is a prime example of how the language of climate politics, and of climate obstruction, has changed since the emergence of powerful AI models.

In a way, Huang’s rather vague promises are a return to the rhetoric of the early days of climate politics, when economists like Nobel Prize winner William Nordhaus won renown for models that heavily discounted the future compared to today. By this thinking, spending lots of money now to avoid climate damages later was not worth it because future humans would be so rich that they could afford the climate costs. The model was called “DICE”; humans should roll one.

Well, it’s weird that governments and rich folks are spend tons of money on solving climate doom and yet nothing changes. They always want more money. It couldn’t be due to it being a scam, right? Anyhow, let’s just skip to the end of this Jacobin piece, and, remember, Jacobin as is hardcore Modern Socialist, hating on capitalism, wanting government control of the means of production, and controlling Everyone Else

Artificial intelligence is clearly a powerful technology: no one should dismiss this because they prefer to mock the tech elites building it. The primary concern at present should be that this technology is emerging into a global economic system dominated by profit seekers, largely unconcerned with the climate crisis, whom governments are for the most part allowing to regulate themselves. While some have compared the current AI build-out to the Manhattan Project, nuclear technology was never allowed to remain in private hands.

If AI is to help solve the climate crisis without causing great damage of its own, governments will have to take more control of the firms building it and rewrite economic rules to channel this new power in the right direction.

Huh.

Democrats Sue Over ICE Doing Their Job In NC

By William Teach October 8, 2026 – 7:00 am

For all the high and fancy stuff Democrats talk about, this is all about pushing for new voters

Lawsuit: ICE Action in N.C. Hasn’t Cooled

Since the Trump administration’s heightened immigration enforcement in Charlotte last November, federal agents have escalated efforts to stop and arrest Latino residents without probable cause, according to an amended federal lawsuit filed late last week. The suit claims the activity resulted in a major “checkpoint” operation targeting Latinos this summer in a national forest area.

Several civil rights advocacy groups initially filed the suit in February, making it the first legal challenge to what the U.S. Department of Homeland Security dubbed “Operation Charlotte’s Web.” The groups, including the ACLU of North Carolina and Southern Coalition for Social Justice, filed an amended complaint on October 1 that claims agents are stopping people and asking them about their immigration status without reasonable suspicion of other illegal activity. The advocacy groups are also seeking to certify the lawsuit as a class action and are asking a judge for a preliminary injunction to stop what they allege are ICE agents’ unconstitutional immigration enforcement actions.

Where’s the ACLU of NC in concern over the murder of Iryna Zarutska, a legal alien from Ukraine? Oh, right, they actually care more about getting hardcore criminals released.

The lawsuit now has six plaintiffs, five of whom are U.S. citizens. The newest plaintiff is Fernando Vazquez Orea, a 19-year-old U.S. citizen born in Raleigh who says he was wrongfully arrested in November 2025. The others are Willy Wender Aceituno, 47, a naturalized citizen from Honduras who has lived in Charlotte more than 25 years; Yoshi Cuenca Villamar, 23, who was born in North Carolina and lives in Charlotte; Edwin Godinez, 30, a U.S.-born citizen who lives in Spencer; Yair Alexander Napoles, 23, who was born in North Carolina and lives in Salisbury; and Ruben Arguera Lopez, 40, who has a valid work visa and a U-Visa, which are for victims of serious crimes or people who have aided law enforcement in investigating them.

In November 2025, Operation Charlotte’s Web brought hundreds of additional immigration agents to the Charlotte area and later Raleigh, Durham, and smaller cities like Salisbury. Over several weeks, federal agents arrested more than 1,100 people. It sparked widespread fear in immigrant communities, leading to record-breaking student absences and the closing of many businesses. The operation also spurred protests.

Whelp, sorry, but, they were doing their federally authorized jobs, and if the Biden admin hadn’t let in millions and millions there would be no need for big immigration operations. If Democrats didn’t do all they could to protect illegals these operations would have been unnecessary. Suck it.

Coldplay Cosplays At Being Climate Warriors

By William Teach October 7, 2026 – 5:02 pm

Hey, why didn’t they do this 10 years ago?

Coldplay’s Tour Targets Climate Change

climate change joke

Coldplay puts sustainability at the forefront of their world tour, using innovative energy-producing practices such as a power-producing dance floor to combat the high-emission live music industry.

In 2023, live music in the U.S. generated greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 3.1 million cars. In the U.K. alone, the music industry emits 540,000 tons of greenhouse gases each year, which is equivalent to the emissions of 60,000 households.

Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour is the first global stadium tour to use deliberate sustainable practices to power the show and reduce its carbon footprint at this scale. Their policy is to reduce carbon emissions, reinvent sustainable and low-carbon technologies, and restore by funding projects that will draw down “significantly more CO2 than the tour produces.”

Yeah yeah yeah, cute climavirtue signaling. What about the use of fossil fueled vehicles and airplanes to tour? All the fossil fueled vehicles coming to the concerts? It’s all so tiresome and culty, and, really, more like a pre-COVID thing

Coldplay pledged to reduce carbon emissions from show production and freight, band and crew travel by 50%. Within the first two years of this tour, they reduced those emissions by 59% from their previous stadium tour by planning routes with minimal air travel and flying commercial when possible. For all flights, they use Sustainable Aviation Fuel, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 80% compared to regular jet fuel.

So they’re still flying? Huh. As for Sustainable Aviation Fuel, it is more expensive, but, really, mixed at small percentages (it’s also partially why tickets have gone up for flights). The cultists also call the use of SAF “greenwashing”.

Trump Admin Links France Riots To Immigration

By William Teach October 7, 2026 – 10:30 am

France has long had a problem with doing nothing about the Muslim and African illegals in the country, which led to burning car season, especially when they do it on New Year’s Eve. The French government has been voluntarily bringing them in hard over the past 10 years. So

Trump, Waltz link France riots to mass immigration as thousands are arrested

President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that France’s escalating riots were being driven by “out of control mass migration,” as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz echoed those concerns and blamed unchecked immigration and broader European policy failures for helping fuel the unrest.

Asked by Fox News Digital about Trump’s comments and the scenes emerging from France, Waltz condemned the violence while also linking the unrest to European immigration and economic policies.

“I think we would always condemn lawlessness, condemn the violence that we’re seeing in Paris,” Waltz told Fox News Digital. “But I think we also have to recognize that when you have open borders, when you [have] this pro-migration, unchecked immigration kind of policy, coupled with policies over the years that deny people basic energy, that overspend on all kinds of other government programs, that you see a level of frustration boiling to the surface.”

Trump weighed in as the unrest intensified, arguing that what was unfolding went beyond the students’ complaints about France’s education system. “What’s happening in France is nothing less than out of control mass migration. This isn’t about schools, this is about Islam wanting to take over a once great Country!” Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday.

How much of the riots is from aliens? Well, first you get something like this

But, then we have this

When the riots happen there tends to be very few of the historically French folks at the riots

Pacific Leaders Throw Hissy Fit Over Missing Climate (scam) Funds

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

I told you it was about the money, not any high-falutin’ idea about saving the world from a fever

Pacific leaders rail at climate finance failures after pre-COP trip to Tuvalu

After witnessing the effects of sea-level rise in the low-lying island nation of Tuvalu, Pacific leaders on Tuesday used the pre-COP31 summit in Fiji to voice their frustration at the difficulties they have experienced in tapping the global climate finance system.

A small group of government leaders, climate negotiators and heads of development banks and climate funds took a trip to Tuvalu’s Funafuti atoll on Tuesday morning, travelling by road over land just 10-20 metres wide to visit a project that is building barriers to keep the sea from the land.

They then flew to Fiji for the pre-COP summit, where several Pacific leaders said they had been let down by the insufficient quantity, bad terms and slow speed of international finance to help them adapt to a warming climate that is bringing higher oceans, drought and more powerful storms to their shores.

The rest is hidden behind a pretty good paywall, but, you get the idea. They want money. Most of which gets used as slush and graft, barely being used for the intended purpose. It’s a nice scam.

Australia touts new funds for Pacific infrastructure at Fiji ‘pre-COP’

This week’s “pre-COP” meetings in the Fijian city of Nadi are a precursor to the larger UN-sponsored global climate summit — known as COP31 — to be held in Turkey next month. (snip)

On Wednesday, the Australian government said it would invest AU$3 million (US$2 million) on a number of regional road and communications infrastructure projects in Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Kiribati and Tuvalu.

Australia’s climate minister Chris Bowen said the funds would “help these countries adjust to climate change, particularly focused on the coastlines with erosion, with rising sea levels”.

That’s it? I mean, hell, the Australian government will provide $30.9 million (Aussie) over five years to support the live music industry. And all they can give is AU$3 million to save those poor islanders? LOL.

Huh: McDonald’s Sued Over AI Pricing

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

Realistically, dynamic pricing for a McDonald’s store, which are franchises, not company owned, can be done without AI, and is something that was done beforehand without AI by the main company

McDonald’s sued over AI tool that recommends prices to US franchisees

McDonald’s is facing a federal lawsuit that alleges its AI-enhanced pricing tool violates antitrust laws because it shares nonpublic data with franchisees who might be competing in the same market.

The lawsuit, which was filed Friday in Illinois, said McDonald’s pricing tool uses artificial intelligence to collect data that competing franchises wouldn’t normally share, like store-level sales. The Chicago-based burger giant has said it makes the tool available to U.S. franchisees to help them set prices at their individual restaurants.

The lawsuit also blames the pricing system for raising McDonald’s U.S. prices.

“McDonald’s has built and for years deployed its own information-sharing pricing platform, which draws on data from its millions of daily transactions to set menu prices across thousands of U.S. restaurants,” the lawsuit states. “The result is algorithmic price-fixing aimed at customers who are already stretched thin.”

Um, yeah, OK? This is what companies do, based on costs, and have always done. Why does fast food cost so much more in cities and airports? Heck, regular food. Things tend to cost more. Why so much more at hotels? I’m sure you can think of a ton of examples.

McDonald’s said Tuesday that the lawsuit is “filled with inaccuracies” and it would vigorously defend itself.

“AI does not set menu prices at McDonald’s restaurants – McDonald’s franchisees do,” the company said in a statement. “Optional tools are available to franchisees to help them make the best decisions for their businesses and customers, but these tools do not automate, coordinate or fix pricing in any way.”

It’s advice, and AI just makes it easier to come up with.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of a consumer, Michael Thomas, of DeKalb, Illinois. According to the lawsuit, Thomas frequently visits McDonald’s and orders a Quarter Pounder with cheese, french fries and a Coke. The lawsuit said Thomas noticed price differences between McDonald’s stores near his home.

McDonald’s said it has used an AI-enhanced pricing tool for more than a decade. The program determines the optimal price for menu items based on a store’s sales, location and other factors, including competitors’ prices.

McDonald’s said that long before adopting the AI-enhanced tool, it collected data and recommended prices to its franchisees, who own and operate 95% of McDonald’s 14,000 U.S. stores.

Sounds frivolous, and just based on AI hatred.
