Bummer: Climate Crisis (scam) Disappears From Canadian Campaigning

By William Teach April 26, 2025 – 4:05 pm

I wonder why?

Climate Change, Once a Big Issue, Fades From Canada’s Election

The melting Arctic icecap. Record-smashing wildfires across several provinces. A country that, on average, is warming at twice the rate of the rest of the world.

No matter where it is, it is melting twice the rate of the rest of the world. Because this is a cult

And yet, as Canadians go to the polls Monday, climate change isn’t even among the top 10 issues for voters, according to recent polling.

“That’s just not what this election is about,” said Jessica Green, a political scientist at the University of Toronto who focuses on climate issues.
What the election is about, nearly everyone agrees, is choosing a leader who can stand up to Donald J. Trump. The American president has been threatening Canada with a trade war, if not total annexation as the “51st state.”

Leading in the polls is the Liberals’ Mark Carney, who has a decades-long pedigree in climate policy. For five years, he was United Nations Special Envoy on Climate Action and Finance, and he spearheaded a coalition of banks that promised to stop adding carbon dioxide to the environment through their lending and investments by 2050.

Despite that résumé, Mr. Carney has not made climate central to his campaign. When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stepped down, one of Mr. Carney’s first moves was to scrap one of his predecessor’s least popular policies, a tax on fuel that included gasoline at the pump and was based on emissions intensity.

They can talk about it as much as they want, it doesn’t make a difference: most people do not care all the much in reality. In theory, maybe, but, not in the Real World. It’s never a real world top 10, unless there are only 10 issues in the poll.

Canada is one of the world’s highest emitters of greenhouse gases per capita and is off-track to meet its pledges to reduce its emissions under the 2015 Paris Agreement. It has targeted cuts of at least 40 to 45 percent from 2005 levels by 2030, but the latest national emissions inventory report shows a drop of just 8.5 percent through 2023.

Yeah, so, despite all the climavirtue signalling from the Canadian elites, politicians, and citizens, no one is really doing their cult part to make their own carbon footprints zero.

Saturday Humor: Elise Slotkin Says Dems Need To Stop Being Weak And Woke

By William Teach April 26, 2025 – 10:30 am

Is she being serious? Has she met Democrats?

Senate Democrat: Party needs to lose ‘weak and woke’ reputation

Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) wants Democrats across the country to focus on ways to “retake the flag” from President Trump and Republican majorities in the House and Senate and told one media outlet she thinks they should start by shedding public perception of the party as “weak and woke.”

“I don’t understand how to rally us into a coherent approach if we aren’t on the same page on where we’re going,” she told Politico this week before delivering a “war plan” speech to a gathering of Democratic volunteers in her home state on Thursday.

Slotkin, whose campaign team didn’t immediately respond to The Hill’s requests for comment, posted photos on the social platform X after her event at the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum in Lansing, Mich., and wrote that she wanted to use the speech “to lay out my strategy for how Democrats should be meeting this moment in our country’s history.”

“After this 100 days of the Trump Administration, we owe the nation a plan: reclaiming our patriotism, a real economic plan for the Middle Class, and a fight for our democracy that recognizes the stakes,” she wrote.

Seriously, her whole schtick is still based on Orange Man Bad, on Trump Derangement Syndrome, just like the rest of the Democrats. How do you reclaim patriotism when the majority of your voters hate America? When your economics are based on the government running everything and you patronize the rich, the super poor, and illegal aliens? That their version of Democracy is more akin to Mussolini and Saddam Hussein than what is written in the US Constitution?

Democrats mounted a party-wide effort to curb Trump’s influence after he won the 2016 election, but the party hasn’t come together similarly this time and has struggled to rein in mounting tension between more traditional Democrats and a growing progressive upsurge.

Yeah, well, they’re hardcore on the side protecting illegal alien gang members to the point that abortion is barely mentioned by Democrats. They’re still hardcore on protecting the gender confused over actual women. They don’t talk about it much, but, their other policies of being weak on crime and controlling citizens via the climate scam play heavy. There is no way Democrats give up weak and woke. They may hide it a bit, but, you can see it everywhere. We’ve watched the moonbattery since Bush43 took office. It won’t stop. There are no JFK type Democrats left. There are not even any Bill Clinton type Democrats left. Now you have Alexandria O’Casio Cortez being pushed as their frontrunner for the 2028 presidential race.

Bummer: Women Vastly Outnumber Men In Caring About Climate Crisis (scam)

By William Teach April 26, 2025 – 7:15 am

Sadly, there’s no breakdown by party affiliation, but, you know this has to be driven by liberal women, especially white ones

More women view climate change as their number one political issue

A new report from the Environmental Voter Project (EVP), shared first with The 19th, finds that far more women than men are listing climate and environmental issues as their top priority in voting.

The nonpartisan nonprofit, which focuses on tailoring get out the vote efforts to low-propensity voters who they’ve identified as likely to list climate and environmental issues as a top priority, found that women far outpace men on the issue. Overall 62 percent of these so-called climate voters are women, compared to 37 percent of men. The gender gap is largest among young people, Black and Indigenous voters.

Nonpartisan my ass, not when their whole schtick is ‘climate change’.

The nonprofit identifies these voters through a predictive model built based on surveys it conducts among registered voters. It defines a climate voter as someone with at least an 85 percent likelihood of listing climate change or the environment as their number one priority.

Those are two different things. I’d certain choose the environment as an important issue, though, not number one. But, I wonder, how many respondents does it reduce down to? They toplines are not included at the link. They started with 10,500, but, as #1, did that cut it to 500?

Based on polling from the AP-NORC exit poll, 7 percent of people self-reported that climate change was their number one priority in the 2024 general election, Stinnett said. Of those who listed climate as their top priority, they voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris by a 10 to 1 margin.

So, we know they are primarily Democrats. Let’s jump to the “survey”

25pt gender gap among climate voters. 62% of climate voters are women, compared to only 37% being men. This 25pt gender gap is significantly larger than the 5pt gender gap (52%-47%) among all registered voters.

Young women are twice as likely as young men to list climate as their top priority. Among the various age groups, the climate voter gender gap is most dramatic among the youngest voters (aged 18-24). As a point of comparison, among all registered voters 18-24 year-olds are equally split among women and men (50.4%-49.6%), but among 18-24 year-old climate

So, the climate cult has driven the liberal women much, much wackier than the liberal men. Yet, how many are practicing what they preach?

Liberals Unhinged Over FBI Arresting Leftist Judge Who Helped Illegal Criminal Escape ICE

By William Teach April 26, 2025 – 6:45 am

It’s gone from barking moonbat to category 5 unhinged online and in the Credentialed Media news rooms

Report: FBI Arrests Judge Who Helped Illegal Migrant Dodge Deportation

The FBI has arrested a left-wing Wisconsin judge for allegedly helping an illegal migrant escape arrest, according to a Wisconsin newspaper.

“Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week,” FBI director Kash Patel wrote in a quickly deleted tweet, says a report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

“We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest,” Patel wrote.

You don’t just arrest judge for 8 U.S.C. § 1324, harboring/sheltering an illegal alien, a law established in 1952, for believing. They have the evidence. And it is how and who she protected

From the show more

..these crimes, victim is in court.

Judge finds out. She goes out into the hallway. Screams at the immigration officer. She’s furious. Visibly shaken. Upset. Sends them off to talk to the chief judge.

“She comes back into the courtroom. You’re not going to believe this. Takes the defendant and the defense attorney back in her chambers. Takes them out a private exit and tells them to leave. While the state prosecutor and victims of domestic violence are sitting in the courtroom.”

Democrat judges are prioritizing illegal alien criminals over victims of domestic violence. Think on that.

And think on this

Catholic Charities has helped drive illegal aliens to come to the US. They’ve coached them on how to do it, and taken a ton of taxpayer money to do this. They’ve been accused of human trafficking, and losing an unknown amount of unaccompanied minors. I wonder if the FBI will be looking into whether the judge has monetarily benefited from this.

Could Trump End “Greenwashing” And Force Warmists To Practice What They Preach?

By William Teach April 25, 2025 – 3:00 pm

This is one of the most interesting, realistic articles from the climate cult I’ve see, though it verges on TDS, because it is actually introspective

Could Trump Accidentally End Greenwashing?

Following the election of President Donald Trump, U.S. multinationals wasted little time in purging mentions of the climate from their websites. Breakthrough Energy, a joint venture between Bill Gates and a handful of other climate-conscious billionaires, recently laid off a significant portion of its staff. Some $4 billion in U.S. pledges for the U.N. Climate Fund has been rescinded. The response to all of this has been virtually unanimous: Trump is bad—very bad, in fact—for the climate. To be sure, the second Trump administration has already rolled back a number of significant environmental regulations, increased logging in national forests, ramped up oil and gas production, and made sweeping cuts to the EPA.

But love him or loathe him, Trump is not the only problem. He is a symptom of voter frustration and disillusionment. We must accept that for years, global multilateral climate policy has been marked more by talking the talk than walking the walk. Indeed, you could be forgiven for growing slightly cynical of the big pledges, glossy roadmaps, endless subsidy schemes, and constant climate conferences.

To paraphrase Glenn Reynolds, “I’ll believe it is a crisis when the people who tell me it’s a crisis act like it’s a crisis by changing their own lives to match their doomy beliefs.” I won’t delve more into the practice what you preach stuff, I’ve done it quite enough over the years.

Whatever Trump believes personally about the climate crisis, he could unintentionally be part of the solution to it, as a force of Schumpeterian “creative destruction”. His election may have sounded the death knell for performative, feel-good, socially acceptable climate policies and created an opportunity for pragmatic, climate-conscious people to design something much more effective at both the domestic and the global levels. Such an approach could entail less greenwashing and less bureaucracy and a much greater emphasis on results. It could entail more independent control of companies’ actual impact. For instance, we can appeal to companies’ self-interest to use new technologies that accurately measure emissions. The new approach to climate policy can, and should be: What here, in this market, with these tools, would deliver the fastest, biggest, cheapest gains?

Time Magazine’s Antoine Rostand was almost there, but, he missed the part where the Warmists need to change their own behaviors. Missed it by that much.

Truly smart regulation could include something like a methane speeding ticket slapped on those who are spewing the gas too freely into the atmosphere and have the financial means and moral obligation to eliminate externalities. If Trump blocks progress domestically, other major trading partners (like the EU, Korea, an Japan) could impose climate-friendly trade rules, like carbon border adjustments or import standards. That could nudge the U.S. market to comply indirectly, even under the current administration.

And Rostand is right back to government control. Sigh.

Ex-Judge Who Sheltered Illegal Alien TDA Member Arrested

By William Teach April 25, 2025 – 10:30 am

There needs to be more of this, people being arrested and charged when they break federal immigration laws

Ex-New Mexico judge, wife arrested for allegedly harboring illegal Tren de Aragua member

Former Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, were taken into custody Thursday after federal agents raided their Las Cruces home.

The two face charges of evidence tampering amid allegations they harbored Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, an alleged illegal alien who is also believed to be a member of Venezuela’s notorious Tren de Aragua gang.?

The arrest follows a February incident where Ortega-Lopez was apprehended at the Cano residence. Court documents reveal that he was initially hired by Nancy Cano for home repairs and later offered accommodation in the couple’s guesthouse.

The wife of a federal judge so breezily hiring an illegal alien, but, then, this is what Democrats think illegals are for: basic manual labor.

Investigators uncovered evidence linking Ortega-Lopez to the Tren de Aragua gang, including gang-related clothing, tattoos, voicemails and text messages.

According to court documents, he unlawfully entered the U.S. on Dec. 15, 2023, by crossing the border near Eagle Pass, Texas, without inspection or authorization.

And, under the Biden-Harris regime no bothered to check the gang tattoos, they just let him in

Judge Cano resigned from his judicial position in March and on Tuesday, the New Mexico Supreme Court issued a ruling permanently barring him from holding any judicial office in the state.

“The people of New Mexico are tired of a system where the powerful don’t play by their own rules,” Amy Barela, Chairwoman of the Republican Party of New Mexico, said to the Las Cruces Sun-News. “We demand real accountability for Judge Cano’s connection to a gang-affiliated criminal and full transparency on how our judiciary is being held to the same laws as the rest of us. Enough is enough.”

But, here’s a problem

(KFOX) KFOX14/CBS4 were on the scene Thursday afternoon when the home of former Dona Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement executed a search warrant and a probable cause arrest warrant, and both were taken into custody.

A spokesperson for ICE confirmed they were both taken into custody as part of an ongoing investigation led by Homeland Security Investigations.

Cano was charged with tampering with evidence, while Nancy was charged with conspiracy to tamper.

I certainly hope more charges are coming, particularly for harboring and sheltering an illegal alien. If the feds aren’t going to charge for 8 U.S.C. § 1324, which could also include conspiracy, then why have the law? Prosecuting the ex-judge and his wife for this would set a serious precedent and put others who do the same on notice.

Here’s something interesting

(Newsweek) Jason Stevens, HSI’s special agent in charge for El Paso, said in a statement: “Initially we came back here to arrest his wife and as we started obviously conducting our interviews and started looking at evidence, we subsequently arrested Mr. Cano as well.”

That’s not good for the Democratic judge. Can’t wait till another Democratic judge decides to dismiss the whole thing

“Study” Finds Blame For ‘Climate Change’ To The Tune Of $28 Trillion

By William Teach April 25, 2025 – 7:25 am

This is totally not about scamming some money, right?

The world’s biggest companies have caused $28 trillion in climate damage, a new study estimates

The world’s biggest corporations have caused $28 trillion in climate damage, a new study estimates as part of an effort to make it easier for people and governments to hold companies financially accountable, like the tobacco giants have been.

A Dartmouth College research team came up with the estimated pollution caused by 111 companies, with more than half of the total dollar figure coming from 10 fossil fuel providers: Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, Chevron, ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, National Iranian Oil Co., Pemex, Coal India and the British Coal Corporation.

For comparison, $28 trillion is a shade less than the sum of all goods and services produced in the United States last year.

At the top of the list, Saudi Aramco and Gazprom have each caused a bit more than $2 trillion in heat damage over the decades, the team calculated in a study published in Wednesday’s journal Nature. The researchers figured that every 1% of greenhouse gas put into the atmosphere since 1990 has caused $502 billion in damage from heat alone, which doesn’t include the costs incurred by other extreme weather such as hurricanes, droughts and floods.

“Estimated.” In other words, they’re pretty much making it all up, running it through their computer models, and assigning Blame.

People talk about making polluters pay, and sometimes even take them to court or pass laws meant to rein them in.

The study is an attempt to determine “the causal linkages that underlie many of these theories of accountability,” said its lead author, Christopher Callahan, who did the work at Dartmouth but is now an Earth systems scientist at Stanford University. The research firm Zero Carbon Analytics counts 68 lawsuits filed globally about climate change damage, with more than half of them in the United States.

So cultists trying reinforce cult dogma about making Other People pay. Weirdly, the “study” fails to blame all the Warmists who use fossil fuels themselves. And refuse to give them up themselves. What’s the damage for all the use of fossil fuels to travel to all the UN climate conferences? But, it is funny how it always comes down to taking Other People’s money. (and bigger government and authoritarianism.)

Uh Oh: Trump Is Going After Act Blue

By William Teach April 25, 2025 – 7:00 am

This is going to create some serious heartburn amongst the Democrats. At least til they find a friendly judge who does not care about the law or the Constitution or separation of powers

Trump targets Democratic fundraising organization ActBlue

President Donald Trump targeted Democratic fundraising group ActBlue and other online fundraising platforms with a presidential memorandum on Thursday that the White House said was aimed at cracking down on illegal foreign contributions in U.S. elections.

The memo, which Trump signed Thursday afternoon, directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate and “take appropriate action concerning allegations regarding the use of online fundraising platforms to make ‘straw’ or ‘dummy’ contributions and to make foreign contributions to U.S. political candidates and committees, all of which break the law,” according to a White House statement.

The memo directs Bondi to report the results of the probe to Trump. It cites a congressional investigation that “revealed significant fraud schemes using ActBlue” as well as a 30-day period during the 2024 election in which donations from foreign IP addresses using prepaid cards were detected.

ActBlue, which says it has raised billions of dollars online since 2004, called the move an attack on democracy.

“Today’s escalation by the White House is blatantly unlawful and needs to be seen for what it is: Donald Trump’s latest front in his campaign to stamp out all political, electoral and ideological opposition,” the organization said. “ActBlue will immediately pursue all legal avenues to protect and defend itself.”

So, it’s illegal to investigate groups credibly accused of taking foreign campaign donations? It’s against Democracy! to investigate fraud and money laundering? To make sure those taking money and spreading it around with zero accountability? Well, of course we know that a Democrat appointed federal judge in California or Oregon or some Blue state will say “no, you may not follow existing laws passed by a duly elected Legislative Branch and signed into law by the duly elected President!”

The Supreme Court just needs to shorten their rulings and work at least 50 hours a week for the next couple of years. They can all have a week off in, maybe, September and for Christmas. Because the insane rulings are exactly what the Court was created for. There is zero reason to block an investigation into financial impropriety, especially as it applies to elections. I wonder how much money will be found that was shifted from appropriations from federal agencies that was supposed to go to aid instead?
