Sigh: Climate Cult Using The Day After Tomorrow Again To Scaremonger On AMOC

By William Teach May 4, 2026 – 7:15 am

Look, I love horror movies and books, especially zombie ones, but, I don’t use them to scaremonger on policy

Infamous disaster scenario can rapidly unfold, study finds

Add another study to the pile of research raising alarms about a looming climate disaster.

Scientists have been closely watching the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) for years. In April, two studies noted the critical current is in danger of weakening or even collapsing due to climate change, which could impact the climate and weather for hundreds of millions of people.

If you missed those studies, you might still know the current from the movie “The Day After Tomorrow,” which took quite a few liberties in its depiction of what would happen if the current suddenly collapsed due to climate change.

Now, a new study released April 29 says the AMOC has changed rapidly in the past, due to “violent volcanic eruptions” that eventually cooled the entire planet.

The current threat to the AMOC isn’t volcanoes, but excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from human-caused climate change. According to the lead author of the new study, Lucien Nana Yobo of Texas A&M, his research “shows how sensitive the AMOC is to climate disturbances.”

If so, then why do so few Warmists give up their own carbon footprints? Bueller? Bueller? Nothing like using a doomsday movie to push your cult business.

LOL: Michigan Supreme Court Thinks They Can Dictate Where ICE Can Arrest Illegals

By William Teach May 4, 2026 – 7:00 am

It’s so precious that they think this means anything

Michigan Supreme Court moves to curb courthouse immigration arrests

The Michigan Supreme Court adopted a new rule aiming to limit law enforcement’s ability to make civil arrests — including immigration arrests of suspected noncitizens — in state and local courtrooms.

The amended rule, which took effect May 1, prohibits civil arrests of people “going to, attending, and returning from” places they’re required to attend in any of Michigan’s trial or appellate courthouses, covering parties in court cases, attorneys, witnesses and jurors. It would not interfere with criminal or court-ordered arrests.

The change adds Michigan to the list of states trying to limit immigration arrests following court proceedings, which have ramped up in recent months as President Donald Trump’s administration cracks down on illegal immigration.

Proponents believe such language helps mitigate fears that showing up to a courthouse could end in an arrest or racial profiling.

I wonder how this is going to work?

But opponents said state courts shouldn’t interfere with federal enforcement activity, arguing that immigration law should be followed both inside and outside of courthouses.

In a concurring opinion published April 29, Justice Noah Hood wrote the amendment “falls squarely within this Court’s rulemaking function and does not exceed it.”

He argued the rule change promotes court safety and accessibility and does not interfere with legislative or executive branch mandates.

Yeah, well, Hood wrote

Second, and relatedly, the amendment does nothing to impair federal or state executives from lawfully executing existing laws. For example, under the amendment, a county sheriff could potentially still coordinate and cooperate with federal authorities to execute lawful administrative immigration detainers.1

So, basically he’s saying that this rule really won’t stop federal agents, or even state agents, from detaining someone over a civil matter at court. You know, where it’s usually safer because the subjects do not have weapons.

Also in the order

At first blush, it would seem that the proposed court rule would apply to ICE agents. MCL 600.1821 does not discriminate in regard to who makes the arrest. Indeed, MCL 600.1821(9) states:

Every person making or procuring a civil arrest contrary to [MCL 600.1821(1) through (7)] is guilty of contempt of court and is liable to the person arrested in double the amount of damages which a jury finds that he has sustained and also is liable in an action at the suit of any injured person for the loss, hindrance, and damage the injured person has sustained in consequence of the arrest.

Yeah, well, good luck arresting ICE agents.

Ivanpah Solar: Damned If You Close It, Damned If You Don’t

By William Teach May 3, 2026 – 7:00 am

I mean, this place is a pip. Here are a few of the headlines from pieces I’ve done over the years

I’ve seen lots of tweets and articles over the years regarding shutting down Ivanpah. And now

Obama-backed $2.2B green energy ‘boondoggle’ leaves taxpayers on the hook

Federal taxpayers helped build a $2.2 billion solar plant — now electricity customers are on the hook to keep it running.

The Ivanpah Solar Power Plant, a sprawling facility near the California-Nevada border built with billions in federal support during the Obama-era economic stimulus program, is stuck in a costly dilemma.

Both the Trump and Biden administrations — along with the utility company that buys its power — have sought to shut it down, saying it underperforms, produces expensive electricity and has been overtaken by cheaper energy sources. But California regulators have refused to allow it to close, warning that closing the plant could strain the power grid.

The result is a costly standoff rooted in years of government decisions: shutting it down could leave taxpayers responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars tied to a $1.6 billion federal loan, while keeping it open means higher electricity costs for consumers.

The place kills about 6,000 birds a year. The technology became obsolete in just 11 years. It is absurdly expensive. The promise of low cost energy was a lie.

But, you know what? I say let it stay operational and let the people of the People’s Republik Of California pay for it and deal with the higher electricity costs. They voted for it. They supported this. They voted for Obama and Democrats to get this stuff. Let them reap the rewards.

Oh, Good, Climate Cult Has It’s Own Burial Practices Now

By William Teach May 2, 2026 – 6:15 pm

Well, at least they haven’t gotten to the part where they cut people’s hearts out on a sacrificial alter yet, eh?

Meet ‘Green Death’: the burial practices for activists worried about climate change and carbon footprint

After Moira Cathleen Delaney was diagnosed with an aggressive form of intestinal cancer, her thoughts eventually turned to her eventual death and what she wanted done with her body. Delaney’s love of gardening, birds and the forest inspired her decision to be transformed into soil — literally — through a process known as natural organic reduction.

When she died in October at age 57, her family sprinkled some of her remains under her favorite backyard tree and gave some remains to her closest friends and relatives in glass jars to keep or plant things with.

“For her, it was a very comforting thought to be able to return to the earth in that kind of way, and to have her final physical act contributing to the life process,” said Marcos Moliné, her son.

OK, nothing really unusual there

Interest in body disposal options that are better for the planet has risen in recent years, according to research commissioned by the National Funeral Directors Association. Researchers and industry experts said people worry about how conventional death practices such as embalming, fire cremation and casket and vault burials affect the climate, environment and people’s health. Others simply want their final resting place to be in their cherished outdoors.

“How we die does lead to a substantial impact on not only the people around us and our communities, but the earth itself,” said Mark Shelvock, a psychotherapist and lecturer at Western University in Canada, who co-wrote a paper on green death practices.

You’re dead. You won’t care.

At Prairie Creek Conservation Cemetery in Florida, natural burials are combined with land conservation. Graves are dug by hand and bodies are only buried in caskets or shrouds made of biodegradable materials like bamboo or cotton. Embalmed bodies and vaults aren’t allowed, and to bury cremated remains, they must be in biodegradable, chemical-free urns. (snip)

Earth Funeral is a company specializing in natural organic reduction, also known as terramation and human composting. The body remains in a sealed vessel for 30 to 45 days with mulch, wood chips and flowers. Inside, microorganisms break down the body into soil in a natural process that generates heat to reach temperatures of 131 F (55 C) or higher — enough to kill germs. (snip)

Alkaline hydrolysis is also supposed to mimic and speed up natural decomposition. At the Colorado-based water cremation company Be a Tree, bodies are put into a vessel with 95% water and 5% potassium hydroxide that is then heated to about 200 F (93 C) for about 18 hours.

Skeletal remains are air-dried, processed and returned to loved ones as powder in an urn or shaped as stones. Most families keep some of the liquid for houseplants or gardening, but most of it goes to land conservation partners to be used as fertilizer, said founder and CEO Emily Nelson. Other companies discharge the residual liquid with other wastewater.

Culty McCultface.

NAACP Appeals Voter ID Loss In North Carolina

By William Teach May 2, 2026 – 10:30 am

Like any good Democrat group, the NAACP apparently thinks black people aren’t capable enough to get proper ID

NC voter ID lawsuit: NAACP appeals loss in voting rights case

The North Carolina NAACP is appealing a lawsuit it lost earlier this year, in a case seeking to have North Carolina’s voter photo identification law ruled unconstitutional.

Republicans have been trying for more than a decade to implement voter ID in North Carolina, saying it’s needed to stop voter fraud and improve people’s faith in elections.

The idea enjoys at least some bipartisan support, although Democratic politicians have mostly opposed it in the past. A ballot referendum to add voter ID requirements to North Carolina’s constitution passed a popular vote in 2018 with 55.5% of the vote.

Voters voted to put it in our Constitution, yet, courts and Democrats keep blocking that

Due to previous legal rulings, voter ID has been in use in North Carolina since 2023. In that time, each election has seen a small number of people being stopped from voting for not having a valid ID. The vast majority of voters, however, have been able to cast a ballot with few to no issues.

Well, that’s weird. Something like 99.99% brought proper ID to vote. In fact, people without proper ID can actually get a state ID for free.

Republicans then tried again, passing another voter ID law in 2018 that was more permissive, with more types of acceptable IDs, which they said should get around their previous racial targeting problems. The NAACP sued again, saying the law was still discriminatory. But they lost that argument last month.

Federal District Court Judge Loretta Biggs wrote that she personally believed the NAACP was correct that the new version of the law still discriminates against minority voters — but that she felt she had to rule against the NAACP anyway, due to previous federal appellate rulings.

So, the NAACP and this black judge think blacks are too dumb to show up with proper ID.

The NAACP is testing that with its appeal, which will take the case to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals and, perhaps, later to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“We will continue the fight against illegal discrimination and to ensure voters know their rights and know that they are protected in exercising them,” N.C. NAACP President Deborah Dicks Maxwell said in a statement after the initial ruling.

How about the right to know that people are not illegally voting in North Carolina, nullifying the votes of legal voters? The NAACP could easily spend this time telling people how to get a free ID if they do not have one. But, in NAACP world they think that blacks aren’t smart enough to get one and bring it with them.

NY Dems Want Court To Force Expensive Climate (scam) Regulations On Citizens

By William Teach May 2, 2026 – 7:15 am

I’m hoping the court will ask the Democrats if they have made their own lives carbon neutral. If they still drive fossil fueled vehicles and take fossil fueled flights

Democrats urge court to force costly New York climate change law

A group of New York Democrats is siding with environmentalists in a court fight with Gov. Kathy Hochul over costly provisions of a new climate change law, drawing criticism from business groups who say it will saddle energy consumers with higher costs.

In a new filing in the state Supreme Court, 17 Democratic senators and assembly members ask justices to order the state Department of Environmental Conservation to issue draft regulations to implement the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, a 2019 that requires New York to take aggressive steps to reduce its excess greenhouse gas emissions.

The lawmakers who signed onto the amicus brief included Bronx Democrats and state Sens. Nathalia Fernandez and state Gustavo Rivera, along with Queens Assembly members Jessica González-Rojas and Diana Moreno, among others.

No one is surprised, right?

But the move by Democratic lawmakers to intervene in the legal fight over the climate change law drew strong criticism from business groups, who say the move will saddle energy consumers with higher costs.

“This amicus brief is completely out of touch — and frankly, unconscionable,” Justin Wilcox, executive director of Upstate United, said in a statement. “At a time when New Yorkers are already struggling with rising costs, these lawmakers are going out of their way to advocate in court for a position that would effectively force many struggling families to shoulder steep new energy and transportation expenses just to heat their homes and commute to work.”

Wilcox said the most “troubling” aspect of the court filing is that it “makes clear that these lawmakers understood the cost of the CLCPA when they passed it, and they understand the costs their legal position would impose — and are willing to move forward anyway.”

The Democrats do not care at all.

Shocker: Woke Pope Appoints Illegal Alien As Bishop Of West Virginia

By William Teach May 2, 2026 – 7:00 am

Say, how many illegals has the Vatican taken in? It has lots of space, right? Oh, and lots of walls

Pope appoints former undocumented immigrant as bishop of West Virginia

Pope Leo XIV has appointed a man who had once entered the United States as an undocumented immigrant, hidden in the trunk of a car, as the new bishop of West Virginia.

The pope approved the resignation of Bishop Mark E Brennan of Wheeling-Charleston, West Virginia, and selected Bishop Evelio Menjivar-Ayala, 55, of Washington to take his place, reported OSV News.

Bishop Menjivar-Ayala moved to the US in 1990. In 2023, he became the first Salvadorian bishop in the country, serving as an auxiliary bishop in the archdiocese of Washington. Considered among the first US bishops born in Central America, he has spoken publicly urging Catholics to oppose Donald Trump’s aggressive policies toward immigrants, according to the Washington Post.

Menjivar-Ayala said he accepted his new role “with great joy and humility” at a Friday-morning news conference.

So, another uber-Woke, unhinged political wacko in the Catholic church. I wonder how they are going to take this in rather-GOP leaning West Virginia, a crazy from D.C. He is basically an illegal alien, but, he was able to get an “extant religious visa”. I just wonder, has he left the US as required for a R-1 visa, as required every 5 years, at which point they must reapply? I wonder if the Trump admin will take an interest in Menjivar-Ayala? And, again, if the people of West Virginia will accept him.

Speaking of Trump
