Your Fault: Venomous Rabbitfish “Invading” Israel, Mediterranean Coasts

Venomous aquatic invader spreads across Israeli coasts, Europe thanks to climate change

While there is no shortage of threats facing Israel and Europe right now, climate change may have introduced a new one: the rabbitfish (a.k.a the Aras).

The venomous aquatic invader comes in four sub-species, two of which are currently found in the Mediterranean, Tel Aviv University Zoologist Dr. Menachem Goren explained to the Jerusalem Post.

The first and most common, known as the marble spinefoot, was first recorded on Israeli shorelines over 200 years ago in 1924. The second, the dusky spinefoot, was found along Israeli shores in 1955 after traveling through the Suez Canal.

While the fish has been long recorded in Israel now, the population has dramatically increased in recent years as a result of climate change, spreading as far into Europe as France, Dr. Goren explained. The dusky spinefoot, in particular, is less sensitive to cold waters, making its movements to Europe much easier.

So, it’s nothing new, it’s just doing better. Perhaps less pollution in the Med, more protections for the waters. Oh, wait, spreading because of cold waters? Huh. Cult.

Both subspecies are herbivores, eating up much of the Mediterranean’s green algae and seagrass, the environment used for cover by native fish and crustaceans.

Do these doomsday cultists not realize that life actually spreads on Earth? Always has, always will? Oh, right, cult.

El Salvador President Tells Democrats Trying To Visit Garcia To Go Pound Sand

By William Teach April 22, 2025 – 7:00 am

Hey, have any of these Democrats visited Western NC? Heck, I cannot find any article of Robert Garcia, a rep from California, visited any of the destroyed areas from the fires in the LA area. Or, heck, even helped

Democrats, Denied Access to Ábrego García in El Salvador, Demand ‘Daily Proof of Life’

Four House Democrats traveled to El Salvador on Monday to pressure President Nayib Bukele and the Trump administration to release Kilmar Ábrego García, a Maryland resident who was deported last month despite a federal court order protecting him from removal.

But after being denied access to Ábrego García during their visit, the lawmakers said they were now demanding the Trump administration produce “daily proof of life,” as well as access to counsel and his immediate release.

“Since we were not able to get the answers we need today from the embassy, we have written a letter just as of 30 minutes ago to Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding daily proof of life for Mr. Ábrego García,” said Rep. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, one of the House Democrats who traveled to the Central American country, at a press conference on Monday afternoon. “And of course, finally, demanding his safe return home.”

The visit by the delegation—which included Reps. Robert Garcia of California, Maxwell Frost of Florida, Maxine Dexter of Oregon, and Ansari—is the latest effort by Democrats to bring attention to Ábrego García’s case, which some legal scholars say has brought the U.S. to the brink of a constitutional crisis. The Supreme Court this month ordered the federal government to “facilitate” Ábrego García’s return to the United States, but the Trump administration has declined to do so, citing lack of jurisdiction.

Like Trump will listen to these four yahoos who are doing all the can to assist an MS-13 member who beat his wife any more than El Salvador’s president

So, these wackos had to pay for their own airfare and hotels and food and transportation. Too bad. Really, Trump should fly Garcia back, have an immigration judge at the airport, hold the hearing, then send him right back to El Salvador. No jail. Or, Bukele could just release him and say “have a nice life!” If he shows back up in the U.S. that would be a felony.

“There is no reason for me to believe that the Trump administration is doing anything to facilitate his safe return home,” Ansari said. “And that is simply unacceptable.”

To whom? The people who want foreign gang members in the U.S.? How about one of the four or Van Hollen offer to house Garcia, make sure he doesn’t disappear, while awaiting his hearing? Or one of the Tren de Aruga gang members? Meanwhile

Raskin to Bukele: ‘Trump administration is not going to last forever’

Is Raskin looking to be prosecuted under the Logan Act?

NPR Missing The Woke Climate Pope

By William Teach April 21, 2025 – 3:00 pm

Remember, NPR is a completely neutral “news” outlet. And they would never use the death of the Pope to push the climate cult

Pope Francis focused on climate change as the planet continued to get hotter

In addition to being the spiritual leader of about 1.4 billion Catholics, Pope Francis advocated for taking action on climate change. That’s not surprising for a pontiff who was the first to take the name of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and ecology.

Over his 12 years as the head of the Catholic Church, Francis repeatedly raised the problem of human-caused global heating from burning fossil fuels and he encouraged people—including world leaders—to do something about it.

His 2015 encyclical brought an influential voice into the global discussion, just as leaders were finalizing an important agreement in Paris, which aimed to address the problem. And as humans continued to heat the planet with pollution from fossil fuels, Francis’ missives became progressively more urgent. Researchers felt these writings boosted Francis’ prominence as a climate advocate, though they appear to have largely failed to change people’s minds about climate change. Still supporters say he brought together science, morality and faith in new ways for his church.

I prefer not to speak ill of the dead so quick, but, Pope Francis seemed more concerned with things other than The Bible, Jesus, and protecting and spreading Christianity. He seemed super concerned about the climate scam to the point where he seemed to worship the gods of the cult, violating the 1st Commandment. Environmental protection is one thing: taking the positions of a doomsday climate cult is something else, and seems to violate that whole “false idols” thing.

Francis’ climate encyclical inspired several Catholic climate groups to form, including The Global Catholic Climate Movement, which is now called the Laudato Si’ Movement.

“All around the world, you saw all of these people reading the encyclical, writing letters to the editor, posting on social media, forming discussion groups in their parishes,” says Rebecca Elliott, senior director for strategy and special projects at Laudato Si’ Movement.

The nonprofit group says it has worked in 140 countries and trained about 20,000 community leaders it calls “animators,” people who put into practice the ideas Francis has advocated. “They’re educating the next generation in care for creation. They’re planting trees. They’re holding litter cleanups. They’re doing mobilizations and marches to advocate for better policies,” Elliott says.

Are they teaching Catholicism and the teachings of Jesus? Or the golden calf of global boiling?

Landrum says Francis likely will be remembered as an “advocate for climate change” and as “an environmental pope.” While he may not have changed many conservative minds, she says, “I think that he did plant a flag, and to say that climate change mitigation is consistent with socially conservative values and with Catholic values.”

Well, he won’t be remembered as someone who cared about Catholicism.

Migrants/Illegal Aliens Losing Work Status In Canada

By William Teach April 21, 2025 – 10:30 am

I thought Canada was all lovey-dovey and loved them some non-citizens. No?

Some migrants in Canada lose work status while applications languish

Migrants living in Canada are facing longer waits to renew paperwork that would allow them to keep working legally, as growing backlogs and changing rules stymie efforts to maintain legal status, according to interviews and data obtained by Reuters.

Losing status means people who have paid taxes cannot work or access medical care and other services in a country that has long prided itself for its universal health care.

Universal health care is great until you have to wait 13 months to get an MRI to see if you have a brain tumor.

Canada is trying to reduce the number of migrants in the country as they have been blamed for straining services – a sharp change after years of growth – and is relying on people to leave voluntarily to meet its targets.

Canada realized that the massive numbers they were bringing in were unsustainable. That doesn’t mean they will stop bringing in people from around the world who do not share the language, do not share the culture, will mostly refuse to assimilate, and expect Canada to accommodate them and change for them. From that link

Canada will bring in 395,000 new permanent residents in 2025, 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027, down from 485,000 in 2024, according to a government source.

The number of temporary residents, meanwhile, will decrease by about 30,000 to around 300,000 in 2025, the source said.

Of course, those temporary residents mostly do not seem to ever leave. Meanwhile

NY state set to end resettlement program for migrant families in city shelters

A New York state-run resettlement program for migrants — criticized for its slow pace in placing families — is coming to an end, after relocating roughly half of the families it was set up to help.

New York’s Migrant Relocation Assistance Program (MRAP), launched in July 2023 amid a surge in migrant arrivals to New York City, will cease relocating new families on June 15, according to Anthony Farmer, a spokesperson for the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, which runs the program.

It was designed to get all those illegals out of Sanctuary City New York, because illegals are expensive and cause problems, and NYC liberals didn’t want to have to practice what they preached.

Farmer said the program is ending because fewer migrants are arriving in New York City and seeking shelter. The change also comes as the Trump administration has cracked down on immigration and sought to cut and even claw back federal funds to jurisdictions aiding immigrants.

It’s because Texas governor Greg Abbott doesn’t have to ship them because the number of crossers was down to just 7,000 in March 2025, after being in the hundreds of thousands most months of the Biden admin.

Lefty Preppers Don’t Need Guns For The Coming Climate Collapse

By William Teach April 21, 2025 – 7:00 am

If the climate crisis was truly real, wouldn’t guns be something people would need as the world goes Mad Max? I know I’d want them

‘All of his guns will do nothing for him’: lefty preppers are taking a different approach to doomsday

One afternoon in February, hoping to survive the apocalypse or at least avoid finding myself among its earliest victims, I logged on to an online course entitled Ruggedize Your Life: The Basics.

Some of my classmates had activated their cameras. I scrolled through the little windows, noting the alarmed faces, downcast in cold laptop light. There were dozens of us on the call, including a geophysicist, an actor, a retired financial adviser and a civil engineer. We all looked worried, and rightly so. The issue formerly known as climate change was now a polycrisis called climate collapse. H1N1 was busily jumping from birds to cows to people. And with each passing day, as Donald Trump went about gleefully dismantling state capacity, the promise of a competent government response to the next hurricane, wildfire, flood, pandemic, drought, mudslide, heatwave, financial meltdown, hailstorm or other calamity receded further from view. (snip)

For many years, Steffen worked as an environmental reporter. He wrote several acclaimed books that explored technological solutions to the climate crisis, served as “futurist in residence” at the design firm IDEO, and taped a couple Ted Talks, gradually gaining a reputation as one of the foremost thinkers on the sustainability circuit. Meanwhile, he watched in horror as the window for action narrowed and governments and institutions dithered. “I still find it staggering and heart-rending that we blew this so badly,” he said in an interview.

It’s not to believe in doom when you continuously listen to messages of doom, right? If you’re predisposed to believe in coming climate doom. I mean, I read a lot of zombie books (most movies and TV shows are terrible), but, I’m not predisposed to believing it will actually happen, even with a really good explanation, such as 28 Days Later (BTW, looking forward to 28 years later, but, how can they have survived? They weren’t actually dead, and 28 Weeks Later shows those infected with Rage to have died from starvation, and explains it).

Let’s jump through a few paragraphs of prepper history

Not all of them are conservatives. Liberals make up about 15% of the prepping scene, according to one estimate, and their numbers appear to be growing.

What are they doing?

One private Facebook group dedicated to preparedness for liberals has more than tripled in size since the election. Here, one finds no tradwife panegyrics, gun porn or “TEOTWAWKI” (the End of the World as We Know It) merch. Instead, participants offer advice on maintaining one’s online anonymity under a potential fascist regime, advocate the stockpiling of anxiety meds and reading material (ahead of expected bans), and debate the moral dilemma of buying a first aid kit from a company that caters to law enforcement. Liberal preparedness podcasters and newsletter writers I spoke to also reported a notable uptick in subscribers since Trump’s election.

Too much to unpack in that paragraph. You do it in your mind. The article keeps going and going. These people will be lost if disaster actually comes.

NY Times Fearmongers Over State Dept “Memo” That Rubio Calls “Fake News”

By William Teach April 21, 2025 – 6:45 am

The Times isn’t the only one publishing this, but, they are the biggest outlet

Trump Administration Draft Order Calls for Drastic Overhaul of State Department

Sherman Potter Bull CookiesA draft of a Trump administration executive order proposes a drastic restructuring of the State Department that includes eliminating almost all of its Africa operations and shutting down embassies and consulates across the continent, according to American officials and a copy of the document.

The draft also calls for cutting offices at State Department headquarters that address climate change and refugee issues, as well as democracy and human rights concerns.

It was not immediately clear who had compiled the document or what stage of internal debates over a restructuring of the State Department it reflected. It is one of several recent documents proposing changes to the department, and internal administration conversations take place daily on possible actions.

Some of the ideas have been debated among U.S. officials in recent weeks, though it is unclear to what degree they would be adopted or how active the draft is, officials said.

Weird how no one is mentioned by name.

Of course, the Times doubles down with their second line

Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote a short comment on social media after this article was published, calling it “fake news.” There are no indications that Mr. Rubio or his top aides have signed off on the document, though they have been working on a reorganization of the State Department.

There’s no indication because they haven’t. You read Rubio’s tweet, right? Now, I really wouldn’t be surprised if they are in the process of shutting down all the climate scam stuff, and significantly restricting immigrants from America hating countries and those that will cause problems. Nor should we expect a large number of “refugees” to be brought into the U.S. while Trump is president. Shutting down most operations in Africa? Yeah, that’s horseshit.

The purpose of the executive order is to impose “a disciplined reorganization” of the State Department and “streamline mission delivery” while cutting “waste, fraud and abuse,” according to a copy of the draft order obtained by The New York Times. The order says the department is supposed to make the changes by Oct. 1.

The non-existent EO? Though, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were going to change operations so that most of the US aid and money wouldn’t be wasted, that it would go to the people who need it, rather than the politicians, elites, and warlords in Africa.

Anyhow, it’s a pretty long article for something Rubio called fake news.

Supreme Court Rules Against Deporting Specific Gang Members, White House Names Them

By William Teach April 20, 2025 – 7:00 am

I’m not sure what was going through the Supreme Courts mind on this one

Rap sheets, photos of suspected Tren de Aragua gang members Trump admin tried to deport before SCOTUS ruling

The Trump administration on Saturday released the rap sheets and photos of alleged Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang members detained in Texas who the administration is trying to deport.

The suspects of the violent Venezuelan gang were going to be deported using the recently reinstated Alien Enemies Act of 1798 before the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled Saturday morning against deportations under the 18th century law.

In a decision in favor of the American Civil Liberties Union, the administration was barred from removing Venezuelans held in Texas’ Bluebonnet Detention Center “until further order of this court.”

It was 7-2, with Thomas and Alito dissenting

“These are some of the TdA gang members detained in Texas that we are trying to deport,” a senior Trump official told Fox News.

TdA, designated a foreign terrorist organization Feb. 20 by the Department of State, has thousands of members, many of whom the White House says have unlawfully infiltrated the U.S. and are “undertaking hostile actions against the United States.”

Photos released by the administration of suspected TdA members who made the list show various tattoos, weapons, jewelry and money.

Let’s meet a few of these upstanding illegals

Henry Romero-Gonzalez has pending criminal charges for three counts of assault, crimes against a person and unlawful possession of a weapon, according to officials.

Alessandro Benedikt Parades-Worwa is facing criminal charges for aggravated assault with a weapon and pointing and presenting guns at a person, according to the Trump administration.

Cristian Andres Andrade-Vargas is facing criminal charges for larceny and dangerous drugs, according to officials.

Angel Ignacio Cardenas-Bravo is facing criminal charges for aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, child neglect with great bodily harm, resisting an officer with violence, domestic violence battery, carrying a concealed gun and possession of a gun during the commission of a felony, according to the Trump administration.

And there are several more at the link. Why, exactly, did four Conservatives vote to keep these scumbags in the country? It’s a temporary order till “judicial review” occurs. Why? We start with them being here illegally. That’s all that’s necessary. Many of them do have visible TdA tattoos.
