Comrade Bernie Releases An Immigration Plan

By William Teach November 7, 2019 – 6:02 pm

Remember, though, Democrats are not for open borders

Yeah, this should be a winning plan for the general election, right?

(Daily Caller) Sanders also called for an end to detention for illegal aliens who do not carry a violent crime conviction and instead provide them “community-based alternatives to detention,” such as programs that offer illegal aliens educational, health, legal and work resources. (snip)

In what appears to be a stretch into the senator’s environmental platform, Sanders also declared that he would accept a minimum of 50,000 “climate migrants” in the first year of his presidency, welcoming migrants allegedly displaced by climate change. He also wants to establish a $14 billion legal defense program to assist poor migrants undergoing immigration cases.

From what we’ve seen in Democrat sanctuary jurisdictions, rapists, arsonists, and child predators, among others, are considered non-violent. And, cool, spending $14 billion to help “climate refugees” and such. How much more will be required to feed and house and take care of all these folks for the rest of their lives?

Senate Republicans Consider Calling Joe Biden During Impeachment

By William Teach November 7, 2019 – 1:45 pm

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: people shouldn’t focus on Hunter Biden, but Joe Biden. If Hunter did something illegal, that’s on Ukraine to deal with. But, Joe, on the other hand, did exactly what Trump is being accused of, a quid pro quo using the power and money of the United States government for the benefit of his family

(Washington Post) Senate Republicans are privately debating whether they should use an impeachment trial of President Trump to scrutinize former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter as some Trump allies push to call them as witnesses while others dismiss the suggestion as a risky political ploy.

The ongoing discussions are a revealing glimpse into the fault lines in the GOP ahead of a possible trial of Trump in the upper chamber, where there are varying appetites among Senate Republicans for the type of political combat relished by the president and his most hardcore defenders. (snip)

“The Bidens have to be called,” former White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon said Sunday on Fox News. “Joe Biden is a hand grenade and Hunter Biden is the pin. And when that pin gets pulled, the shrapnel is going to blow back all over the Democratic establishment,”

Joe should be the target, and, let’s not forget that he is on video as saying that Barack Obama approved. If Trump is guilty of quid pro quo, which, at last check, wasn’t really a violation of the law, then what of Biden and Obama? If people are saying that what Trump did was unethical (when he was trying to get to the heart of corruption, especially regarding the 2016 election), then what of Joe and Barack?

It’s worth watching Glenn Beck’s explanation of what happened. It’s interesting that the Washington Post wrote their whole, long article without even delving into “why” Joe and Hunter would be called.

New Zealand Passes Law To Become Carbon Neutral By 2050

By William Teach November 7, 2019 – 10:30 am

Well, good luck with this, it’ll surely work worse than the gun grabbing law (which has a compliance rate of around 30%)

Climate change: New Zealand passes ‘zero carbon’ law

New Zealand lawmakers on Thursday passed a “Zero Carbon” bill that it hopes will reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to a near-neutral level by 2050.

The legislation, which was supported on both sides of the political divide, mandates that in 40 years’ time, the country should produce no greenhouse gases, except methane, as part of the country’s efforts to meet its Paris climate accord commitments.

The bill has different regulations for methane emissions from animals versus other greenhouse gases, due to farming’s important role in bringing in foreign income. However, it still aims to cut 10% of biological methane by 2030, and up to 47% by 2050.

It’s a little short on actual detail of how to achieve this, like, how will they get rid of all the fossil fueled vehicles of citizens, not too mention all the fossil fueled flights for tourism (6.1% of GDP). How about all the buildings? Agriculture? Power? Food? There will be a commission created to come up with plans to empower the government to force people to comply.

(Irish Times) Prime minister Jacinda Ardern told MPs New Zealand was on the “right side of history”. She said: “I absolutely believe and continue to stand by the statement that climate change is the biggest challenge of our time.

“Undeniably, our sea levels are rising, and undeniably, we are experiencing extreme weather events – increasingly so.

Rising seas, huh? Most of the stations for New Zealand aren’t helpful, being either too short term or having ended almost 20 years ago (Aukland II showed just .42 feet per 100 years, went from 1903 to 2000. Kinda need more recent data). Wellington shows .89 feet per 100 years, and Dunedin, which goes back to 1900-2016, shows .45 feet over 100 years. How much is related to New Zealand being a major earthquake area? Perhaps they should worry more about that.

It will be interesting watching them attempt to implement this. They can serve as the experiment subject in a petri dish.

Surprise: Scientists Declaring Climate Emergency Want Population Reduction, Wholesale Change Of Systems

By William Teach November 7, 2019 – 8:03 am

Yesterday I wrote about these Cult of Climastrology scientists saying a tiny increase in CO2 would cause untold suffering. And now we learn more about what they’re pushing

(HuffPost) In order to avoid a “hothouse Earth” where runaway temperature increases beget further warming, the scientists call for immediate action to overhaul the way we live ― from agriculture to education.

“Rather than piecemeal solutions, we need transformative change in the way society functions and interacts with nature,” William Ripple, a professor at Oregon State University’s College of Forestry, told HuffPost in an email. Ripple, one of the study’s authors, called for a holistic solution that also addresses social justice issues and honors “the diversity of humans around the world.” (big snip)

“I think we are entering into a social tipping point in our fight against climate change,” said Ripple, who is hopeful that the world will take the necessary action to tackle this issue. “The urgency of the conversation seems to be ramping up for governments, businesses, and individuals.” (snip)

Simply focusing on rising temperatures fails to “capture the breadth of human activities and the real dangers stemming from a warming planet,” the study states.

After analyzing more than 40 years worth of public data on everything from energy consumption, emissions, and the Earth’s surface temperature to land use, fertility rates, and GDP, the researchers laid out six areas where “humanity should take immediate steps” in order to slow down the impacts of a warming world: energy, short-lived pollutants, nature, food, the economy and population.

So, basically, they are partisan political hacks, calling to get rid of capitalism and Democracy, replacing them with Modern Socialism and a domineering central government. Funny how most of the mainstream articles about this avoided discussing this material, as well as

Finally, global population must be stabilized and “ideally gradually reduced,” the study says, noting that this must be done “within a framework that ensures social integrity.” This will require initiatives that make family planning available to all, achieving “full gender equity,” and making primary and secondary education a “global norm.”

That’s the politically correct way of saying they want to reduce the population, and, of course, it will surely start with those icky black and brown people in Africa and Asia, where they should be supplied with lots and lots of contraceptives, sterilizations, and abortions. Climate Cultists have been dipping into this well for quite some time. Most know better than to really express this overtly, though.

Whistleblower” Lawyer Wrote About “Coup Has Started” In 2017, Trump Blasts

By William Teach November 7, 2019 – 7:36 am

This is rather important, right?

Well, not important enough to be covered by NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, ABC New, NBC News, CBS News, or CNN, among others

Trump, at Louisiana rally, hits ‘disgraceful’ whistleblower’s attorney who tweeted of ‘coup’ in 2017

President Trump, at a campaign rally in Louisiana Wednesday night, unloaded on whistleblower attorney Mark Zaid, after a Fox News article from earlier in the day revealed that Zaid had tweeted about the beginning of a “coup” against the president back in 2017.

The president extensively quoted from the article, which reported that Zaid has long called for Trump’s impeachment — even promising two years ago, “We will get rid of him.”

Zaid now represents the intelligence community whistleblower who is at the center of Democrats’ impeachment inquiry against the president. The whistleblower has alleged that, earlier this year, Trump improperly threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine for political reasons.

“Democrats must be accountable for their hoaxes and their crimes,” Trump said, holding a printout of the Fox News piece.

“I don’t know if you saw, I’m just coming off the plane, and they hand me — look at this character. They just hand me this story, ”Coup has started,’ whistleblower attorney said in 2017.'”

Trump added: “That was a long time ago. It’s all a hoax. They say, January 2017 — a ‘coup has started,’ and the ‘impeachment will follow ultimately.’ It’s all a hoax. It’s a scam. And, you know who helps them? These people back here — the media.”

This is rather important information to be covered by the self-described un-biased, totally not working to get Democrats elected media, right? From that earlier in the day article

Amid a slew of impeachment-related posts, Zaid assured his Twitter followers that “as one falls, two more will take their place,” apparently referring to Trump administration employees who defy the White House. Zaid promised that the “coup” would occur in “many steps.” (snip)

“The whistleblower’s lawyer gave away the game,” the Trump campaign’s communications director, Tim Murtaugh, told Fox News. “It was always the Democrats’ plan to stage a coup and impeach President Trump and all they ever needed was the right scheme. They whiffed on Mueller so now they’ve settled on the perfectly fine Ukraine phone call. This proves this was orchestrated from the beginning.”

Added House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy: “We should take [Zaid] at his word that this is a coordinated, premeditated plot to overturn the election.”

This was the intention even before Trump won, with Democrats talking about impeaching Trump if he won, but, really started hard when the actual election results came in. The Deep State is real. Look, Progressives are great at long term planning. They manage to get control of all sorts of sectors, both public and private, through long, long plans. People toe the line even when it’s not really good for them. First they got the education system, because what better way to indoctrinate people than that? They slowly worked their way into being in control of lots of sectors, such the entertainment industry, lawyers guild, doctors guild, sports players pretend to be Progressives, and have worked their way into the intelligence community, the military, and the Christian religion. They’ve long hated those last three, and, what better way to destroy them than from the inside?

The other one they went after early was the government bureaucracy, particularly the federal and state ones. This is the deep state. And this whole impeachment thing is pure partisan garbage. We’ll see if it backfires on election day 2020.

Honolulu, Which Couldn’t Survive Without Fossil Fuels, Announces Plan To Sue Fossil Fuels Companies

By William Teach November 6, 2019 – 3:50 pm

Honolulu, which is in Hawaii, of course, couldn’t survive as it is without fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are required to being most of the goods to the island and the city, including food and building supplies, clothes, TVs, washers, etc. FFs are necessary to bring tourists to the city and county, because, it’s located on an island thousands of miles from anywhere, and the state, county, and city, depend on them. 21% of Hawaii’s economy is tourism. The only sector that is really growing is tourism. Tourists fly in on planes, they take car, boat, and helicopter trips. Honolulu is further dependent on the U.S. military, which uses lots of FFs. Without FFs, the city and state would revert back to a 3rd world nation. They don’t grown much food and couldn’t really feed themselves. So…

City Announces Plans To Sue Oil Companies For Climate Change Damage

The City and County of Honolulu is the second county to announce plans to sue fossil fuel companies for what officials say is damage caused by climate change and rising sea levels traced back to corporate action or inaction.

“The evidence is piling up that just as big tobacco misled the public and policymakers about the danger of smoking, big oil waged a decades-long deception campaign and covered up the origins of today’s climate crisis,” said Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell on Tuesday.

The mayor pointed to the estimated 3,880 Oahu structures said to be in harm’s way if the sea level rises by 3.2 feet as predicted by 2100. The higher oceans could result $12.9 billion in costs, according to a 2017 study from the HawaiÊ»i Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission.

Last week, Maui Mayor Michael Victorino said his administration plans to sue the companies for climate change-related damage to roads and other infrastructure. (snip)

Among the companies that would be named in the suit are Chevron, Shell, Exxon Mobil, BP, the BHP Group, Conoco Phillips, Marathon (formerly known as Tesoro) and Aloha Petroleum.

All those companies should refuse to sell their products to the governments, as well as the airports. See how that goes.

As for sea level?

  • Nawiliwili – 1.67 millimeters/year, sea level data from 1955 to 2018 which is equivalent to a change of 0.55 feet in 100 years
  • Mokuoloe – 1.45 millimeters/year, 1957 to 2018 which is equivalent to a change of 0.48 feet in 100 years
  • Kahului – 2.18 millimeters/year, 1947 to 2018 which is equivalent to a change of 0.72 feet in 100 years
  • Hilo – 3.08 millimeters/year, 1927 to 2018 which is equivalent to a change of 1.01 feet in 100 years
  • Honolulu – 1.49 millimeters/year, 1905 to 2018 which is equivalent to a change of 0.49 feet in 100 years

Three of 5 stations are exactly in the “normal range” for a Holocene century (6-8 inches per century), and two are still lower than would be expected during a Holocene warm period. Hilo and Kahalui are also on the two newest islands, and can has some part of it being land changes.

Montgomery County, Maryland, Reverses Anti-ICE Policy In Wake Of Rapes By Illegals

By William Teach November 6, 2019 – 10:30 am

Who would have thought that Bad Things could happen when Open Borders advocates release illegal alien criminals in order to thwart ICE?

Montgomery County Reverses Sanctuary Policy After String of Illegal Immigrants Charged With Rape

A county in Maryland has partially reversed a sanctuary policy just three months after it was passed. The move comes after a string of illegal immigrants have been charged with rape in Montgomery County.

The policy banned Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials from accessing secure portions of Montgomery County jail. It’s reversal, which was effectively immediately, means ICE can now access “identified areas” of the jail to “ensure that transfers are conducted in a safe environment.”

The policy says ICE must submit an immigration detainer and arrive at the jail an hour before the inmate is set to be released, reported WJLA. If ICE fails to comply for whatever reason, the county will release the illegal immigrant into the community, just as the county was doing before, regardless of the crime the person has been charged with.

Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich’s rolled back jail ban still prohibits ICE officials from accessing secure parts of the jail unless there is a pre-authorized custody transfer that meet the stated requirements. The ban also prohibits ICE agents from entering “non-public areas of all county-owned facilities” including libraries, police stations, and recreation centers.

So, what they’re trying to do is partially have it both ways. They still want to release the illegals, but, they want to blame ICE if they don’t arrive under those conditions and insulate themselves from condemnation when the illegals do get released and go on to commit crimes. Like continuous rape of an 11 year old girl over a month by illegals ordered deported by a federal judge after already being deported once and were then released by Montgomery County. And many other rapes

In late August, amid the string of rapes allegedly committed by illegal immigrants and many of the victims children, Elrich said in a statement that the county cannot honor ICE detainers unless ICE agents present a warrant signed by judge. However, under the Immigration and Nationality Act, ICE officials do not need such a signature, reported the Daily Caller.

“The public has been misled to believe that certain judges have the authority to sign a warrant for civil immigration violations—but no such judicial authority exists. This idea is a myth created by those who either oppose immigration enforcement efforts, are misinformed, or who do not understand how the immigration system works,” an ICE spokesperson told the news outlet.

Meanwhile

Washington ‘robbery’ was hoax to score immigration visas: cops

As many as 10 people faked a violent robbery at a Washington state fast food restaurant in a stunning bid to score special immigration visas for crime victims, authorities revealed Monday.

The whole thing unraveled and it was just a scam to get visas.

Climate Cultist Scientists See Untold Suffering Or Something

By William Teach November 6, 2019 – 7:57 am

See, the human experience is never evolved as fast as it has during the Modern Warm Period. Just think of all the innovations in science, medicine, technology, agriculture, and so much more just in the last 50 years. Of course, climate cultists only see doom

Scientists foresee ‘untold suffering’, another climate record falls

More than 11,000 scientists warned Tuesday of “untold suffering” due to global warming, even as another team said Paris carbon-cutting pledges are “too little, too late”.

The European Union, meanwhile, confirmed that last month was the warmest October ever registered, fast on heels of a record September and the hottest month ever in July.

Three-quarters of national commitments under the Paris climate accord to curb greenhouse gases will not even slow the accelerating pace of global warming, according to a report from five senior scientists.

The sobering assessment came a day after President Donald Trump formally notified the United Nations of the US withdrawal from the 2015 Paris climate pact, triggering concerns of how other nations might react.

“With few exceptions, the pledges of rich, middle-income and poor nations are insufficient to address climate change,” said Robert Watson, who chaired both the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the UN’s science body for biodiversity.

“As they stand, the pledges are far too little, too late.”

So, what they’re sayin is that the Paris Climate Agreement was worthless? These people are always fear-mongering, they have nothing else to offer but gloom and doom. Seriously, are people really suffering that much, at least in the 1st World? There’s always suffering somewhere, and humanity has been able to deal with it a lot better, to attempt to resolve a lot of it, thanks to innovation during the Modern Warm Period. Humanity has done much better during the warm periods than the cool ones.

In parallel, more than 11,000 scientists sounded a five-bell alarm in the peer-reviewed journal BioScience, noting that the world had failed to act on global warming despite the accumulation of evidence over 30 years.

“We declare, clearly and unequivocally, that planet Earth is facing a climate emergency,” the statement said.

Yawn. Then they’ll all jump on fossil fueled airplanes to fly to Spain at the beginning of December for the last installment of the Conference On The Parties, have a good taxpayer funded working vacation, then we’ll hear the same stuff next November.

It’s worth reading Jo Nova on this whole kerfuffle, which, let’s face it, is just the beginning of the Crazy onslaught we get every year at this time pre-climate meeting.
