Farmer’s Almanac Disagrees With Climate (scam) Prediction Center For NW

By William Teach August 12, 2026 – 4:10 pm

I know which one I’m going to trust more

Farmer’s Almanac’s 2026 winter forecast directly conflicts with Climate Prediction Center

climate cowThe Farmer’s Almanac recently released its outlook for the fall season 2026 which predicts that the Pacific Northwest will be cooler and wetter than average. The prediction is in direct conflict with the Climate Prediction Center’s forecast of a warm and dry winter.

So just how accurate is the Farmer’s Almanac? The Maine-based publication has been doing long-range forecasts since the 1800s. They pull together 30 years’ worth of data and produce a climatological average. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, they tout their accuracy rate at about 80%, reminding readers that they are longer range based and not day to day.

Independent surveys have been done like one from the University of Illinois in 2010 that found the Farmer’s Almanac to be correct about 52% of the time.

Last fall, the Farmer’s Almanac predicted a warmer and wetter season for the Pacific Northwest. Keep in mind, this regional forecast includes California and Oregon as well. For the Seattle area, temperatures were warmer than average in September and November but slightly cooler than normal in October. As for rain, we fell below the seasonal average each month during the autumn season.

Still way more trustworthy than the Credentialed Media news

The Farmer’s Almanac outlook for the upcoming winter season is vague stating the PNW could see “less dependable snow,” while the CPC is more straightforward, showing warmer and dryer than normal weather.

The CPC is under the umbrella of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It uses computer models, ocean temperatures, and jet streams to predict its long-range forecasts, which is all about “potential patterns and probabilities” and not 100% accuracy. As with any prediction beyond about six days out, it must be taken with a grain of salt.

And the Credentialed Media would prefer to trust the climate cult CPC, but, weirdly, the article fails to mention how accurate the long term prediction are for the CPC. No one seems to have done any study on their accuracy rate beyond an 8-10 day forecast, because they do not want it pointed out how badly they usually fail. And there is just the one on the Farmer’s Almanac from a highly leftist and climate cult university.

I guess time will tell who will be correct. Usually Warmists do not like making predictions under at least 20 years from now.

Ultra-Commie Loses To Regular Commie In Wisconsin

By William Teach August 12, 2026 – 10:30 am

I love how many are calling David Crowley “center left”, when, really, he’s just normal Democrat commie

Holiday-hating Francesca Hong loses to David Crowley in Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial primary

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley narrowly upset Democratic socialist Francesca Hong in Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary Tuesday night, despite polls showing Hong in front by double-digits in the final stretch before polling day.

Crowley’s campaign said the 37-year-old state legislator and member of the Democratic Socialists of America called Crowley early Wednesday to concede the race. Hong trailed her rival by more than 3,200 votes out of more than 787,000 ballots cast as of 6 a.m. ET., a margin of 0.41 percentage points.

Under Wisconsin law, Hong could have requested a recount since she trailed by under one percentage point, but would have had to pay for it since her deficit was greater than 0.25 percentage points. State law does not provide for automatic recounts in close races.

Crowley, 40, was the late choice of Wisconsin’s Democratic establishment after Lt. Gov Sara Rodriguez and her predecessor Mandela Barnes dropped out of the race in recent weeks. Crowley had initially dropped out and endorsed Rodriguez last month, but re-entered the race in an effort to stop Hong after Barnes quit.

But, will she change her mind and call for a recount? Her campaign will have to pay for it. For Crowley, he wants more and more and more government. More govt jobs and “investments” in jobs. He pretty much wants Medicare For All, ie, Single Payer. “Affordable housing”, ie, government building housing as well as dictating pricing. Climate (scam) action. Govt run childcare. Abortion for all.

In terms of so many of the wackos running as Democrats Crowley might be moderate, but, for everyone else, heck, he makes Bill Clinton look like a squishy Republican.

Francesca Hong’s defeat won’t stop the DSA

…

But the real story should not be how Hong lost. It should be how on earth she came so close to being the Democratic choice for Wisconsin in a very high turnout primary in such an important swing state. Like many DSA members, Hong has said she wants to abolish the police because law enforcement agencies “uphold white supremacy.” She’s also expressed discomfort at the fact her bi-racial son gives her a “proximity to whiteness.” She has supported the abolition of the Senate, supported public-owned grocery stores and banks, and opposed Valentine’s Day. In 2019 she tweeted the following: (snip)

In comparison to Hong, El-Sayed comes across as Obamaesque in his political professionalism. And yet she came within a whisker of being the Democratic nominee for governor in a state Donald Trump won twice. None of this means the party’s voters are returning to the establishment’s preferred path. No, it suggests that successful Democratic candidates are now the ones who bridge the gap between the hard and soft left of their party – as El-Sayed just about did in Michigan, and as the Ojibwe Native American activist Peggy Flanagan did in her Minnesota senate primary last night. Flanagan is not a DSA member, but she was the progressive choice – backed by Senator Bernie Sanders, the party’s elder socialist statesman. She won by 20 percent in a primary cycle dominated by debates about immigration enforcement. She is now the strong favorite to win against Michele Tafoya, the Republican former National Football League sideline reporter.

It’ll probably turn out that the younger, urbanite, “college educated” wackos voted for Hong, while the over 40 crowd, those without college degrees (or degrees in real disciplines), and live in the suburbs voted for Crowley, much like how they voted for El-Sayed. Speaking of him

(Free Beacon) Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed once declared his sacred “obligation” to follow Sharia law in every aspect of his life until he meets his maker on the day he dies, according to unearthed comments he made to the New York Times in 2009 as a young man buying his first home.

“Ultimately, the question is, when I die and I stand before God and go through everything I did in my life, I don’t want to say I did it the easy way instead of the Shariah-compliant way. Not because of fear but because of obligation,” said El-Sayed, who the Times identified at the time as a 24-year-old medical student and Rhodes scholar who had just taken out a “Sharia-compliant” mortgage to purchase a $123,000 condominium in Ann Arbor.

That was 2009. No one really thinks he’s gotten less moderate over time, do they?

UK Wants People To Not Use Energy During Solar Eclipse

By William Teach August 12, 2026 – 7:15 am

It’s shocking that solar energy doesn’t work when the sun is not out

That article is behind a serious paywall, but, it is reproduced here

Octopus Energy has urged its customers to avoid using electricity during the deepest solar eclipse in almost 30 years.

Britain’s biggest household energy supplier has warned people not to use washing machines, dishwashers, and other plug-in devices between 6pm and 8pm on Wednesday.

The eclipse is expected to block up to 95% of sunlight as the moon moves the sun, plunging solar generation across the UK.

It comes as countless Britons will be looking to run air conditioning units, fans, and refrigerators amid the latest forecast heatwave.

The slump in solar power could knock out as much as 1.3GW of supply, according to the National Energy System Operator (NESO).

Wow, it’s almost like solar is unreliable. Here’s where it gets really fun

This means gas-fired power plants will have to be switched on to make up for the shortfall and to steady the grid.

Cool: NICE To Get Gloves That Give Electric Shocks

By William Teach August 12, 2026 – 7:00 am

Can we get regular cops these as they so often deal with all the little wackos?

ICE to spend up to $20m on gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks

ICE plans to spend up to $20m (£15m) to purchase thousands of gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks for officers and agents by March, according to a notice published Monday by the Department of Homeland Security.

The devices, called Glove (Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter), are manufactured by Compliant Technologies LLC of Lexington, Kentucky.

According to the manufacturer, “the discomfort associated with the stimulation is usually effective in bringing individuals into compliance in less than three seconds and leaves no burns, marks or scars”. The company has advertised the device as a “humane, low-optics, de-escalation solution for many situations facing our men and women in uniform”.

The gloves have previously been used in settings such as jails in the US.

ICE needs these ASAP, don’t wait till March.

“It’s immediate and sharp, and it will distract you. I call it like a bee sting,” said John Peters, president of the Institute for the Prevention of In-Custody Deaths, who is studying how the device has been used. “If the officer is getting any type of resistance from the person, this is certainly an effective tool.”

Awesome

Civil rights advocates expressed alarm at the plan, saying ICE officers already face criticism for their use of force with little oversight or accountability while enforcing Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Of course they are. Anything to protect illegal alien criminals.

There Are Climate Peacebuilders Or Something

By William Teach August 11, 2026 – 4:27 pm

This should totally stop the violence from the religion of peace in the Middle East

The next generation of climate peacebuilders

At the UNDP-led Twin Transition Ideation Bootcamp in Cairo, Egypt, Nour Bahgat arrived with an idea and left with a solution. Together with her fellow participant Mohammed Al-Hedewy, the 22-year-old developed RESILIA, an AI-enabled concept for safely harvesting floodwater that can help alleviate the water stress her country faces.

Their work speaks to an urgent global reality. Nearly 700 million young people live in fragile and conflict-affected settings, where the impacts of climate change overlap with existing socio-economic and political vulnerabilities.

For them, it means disrupted education and work, fewer pathways to a secure future, and greater exposure to violence. Yet they are not waiting on the sidelines. With ingenuity, innovation and cooperation, they are shaping practical responses to the interconnected challenges of climate, peace and security.

Climate shocks do not arrive in a vacuum. In communities already living with conflict and instability, floods and droughts can erode harvests, disrupt incomes and place greater strain on land, water and basic services. These losses also weaken the local economies and the social bonds that help communities withstand pressure.

Young people often feel these effects first. When work is scarce and their voices are absent from local decision-making, uncertainty can leave them vulnerable to exploitation by violent extremist groups and criminal networks, who prey on their desperation by offering financial incentives, illicit employment or a false sense of security. What begins as an ecological crisis quickly turns into a human security threat.

It’s not the first time the doomsday cult has tried to excuse the behavior of Islamic extremism, nor use an existing issue to push their cult beliefs, nor will it be the last.

Oh, and, Egypt would be just another backwards, 3rd world nation without fossil fuels.

Islamic Extremist Argued That NFL Is Full of “Toxic Masculinity”

By William Teach August 11, 2026 – 10:30 am

Well, El-Sayed has the AWFL talking points down

Abdul El-Sayed Argued ‘Toxic Masculinity’ Governs American Football

Abdul El-Sayed, current Democratic Party nominee for the U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, previously argued that “toxic masculinity” governs American football while saying sports culture is rife with misogyny, racism, and homophobia.

Even though El-Sayed played football in his youth, he wrote in a 2021 Substack post that “toxic masculinity” thrives in American football following the resignation of Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden following revelations of racist, homophobic, and misogynistic language in his emails.

“The toxic masculinity at the heart of America’s most popular sport — and men’s sports culture more generally — is way deeper than a few emails or a Jay-Z turnaround,” El-Sayed wrote.

The current U.S. Senate candidate then reflected on his own high school football experience, saying that he enjoyed himself on the field while feeling alienated in the locker room due to “racist taunting,” adding that “bro” culture dominated football.

“On the football field, I felt free,” El-Sayed wrote. “And yet on the sidelines and in the locker room, I was fed a hefty dose of the worst kinds of racist taunting.”

Muslim is not a race. But, hey, we have hyper-leftist men hating talking points about toxic masculinity and some Victimhood all at the same time!

As some have pointed out, notice she is wearing a much more covering head cover than usual. This is the “toxic masculinity”, where women are treated as 2nd class citizens in Islam, where they can be beaten for any reason. Where women do as they are told. The AWFLs that support El-Sayed and the other Islamists are insane.

Your Fault(ish): California Could Super High Water Levels From El Nino

By William Teach August 11, 2026 – 7:15 am

No one is surprised that the climate cult and their pet media would attempt to blame Mankind for all this, right?

California Could See the Highest Sea Levels on Record This Year, Thanks to El Niño

California could see the highest sea levels on record this year, thanks to a historic El Niño, climate change and extreme tides.

It’s the latest forecast for what’s expected to be a historically strong season, one that could cause major flooding and widespread damage in the Bay Area.

“Folks who really think about coastal risks are very concerned that the single highest sea levels are quite possible this winter in California, and that is going to be a problem,” said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist with UC Agriculture and Natural Resources, during an online talk on Monday. “This is almost certainly going to happen.”

The warning comes as the National Weather Service on Monday warned king tides may cause minor flooding along the Marin County coastline and along Bay Area shorelines this week through Thursday morning.

Forecasters said they’re anticipating coastal flooding during the “highest high tides,” expected around 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. this week.

Expected. Could. Possible. May. So, if it doesn’t happen who gets fired? And, really, king tides happen, as do El Nino’s. There’s no need to blame Mankind.

Good News: State Dept Has Revoked Over 175K Visa

By William Teach August 11, 2026 – 7:00 am

It’s a good start

State Department says it has revoked more than 175,000 visas under Trump

The U.S. State Department has revoked more than 175,000 visas since President Donald Trump took office in last year, including stripping travel documents from foreigners charged with crimes, the department said Monday.

Another group targeted for revocations are those who celebrated the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, according to the department. And Secretary of State Marco Rubio personally made determinations to revoke visas of Cuban and Iranian nationals with ties to their governments.

The Trump administration has taken an aggressive approach to visa enforcement, at times sparking criticism from foreign visa holders and human rights groups that the actions were unfounded or politically motivated.

Obviously, this makes Democrats and their idiot judges upset, so, they will do everything they can to keep the murderers, rapists, criminals, supporters of Islamic terrorism, and more in the U.S.
