Who’s Surprised That The Nutters Are Linking The California Earthquakes To Trump And ‘Climate Change’?

By William Teach July 6, 2019 – 8:12 am

So, yeah, wow, an even bigger earthquake struck California

(CNN) A powerful 7.1-magnitude earthquake swayed buildings and cracked foundations in Southern California on Friday night, sending terrified residents sleeping on the streets a day after another temblor hit.

The latest earthquake Friday struck 11 miles northeast of Ridgecrest, according to the US Geological Survey. It was five times bigger than Thursday’s 6.4 -magnitude earthquake, also centered near Ridgecrest, CNN Meteorologist Brandon Miller said.

I ignored the lunatics doing this on the 4th, but, it’s gotten worse

Warmists Push For Canadian Green New Deal And Economic Justice Or Something

By William Teach July 6, 2019 – 7:24 am

Remember, the Cult of Climastrology is just trying to save us from a minor 1.5F increase in global temperatures since 1850, but they say that temps will rise a whole lot!!!!!! very soon

The Canadian Green New Deal and migrant justice

The Canadian Green New Deal movement is picking up steam, as prominent activists join forces with over 80 organizations to demand radical change.

On June 11, Indigenous lawyer Pam Palmater and journalist Naomi Klein were two of the speakers at a Green New Deal town hall in Toronto. More town halls are planned in the next few weeks, with an open invitation to organize events to anyone committed to building the movement.

Modeled after the demand for a Green New Deal in the U.S., the Canadian version aims to build a mass movement that can pressure government to take bold actions.

Instead of implementing temperate solutions such as the carbon tax, the Canadian Green New Deal calls for an economy that redistributes wealth and resources to benefit the vast majority of the population while drastically reducing emissions.

That translates into transformative action on “systems of transit, energy, housing, agriculture, and public services” as well as addressing migrant justice.

“The migrant labour piece needs to be central in that,” says Karen Cocq, an organizer with the labour-advocacy group Fight for $15 and Fairness.

So, somehow this transformed into a complete change in the economic system and protection of illegal aliens, as well as taking in every single person from third world shitholes developing nations that wants in. You have Naomi Klein taking lots of fossil fueled trips to talk about her ideas to essentially do away with capitalism, which is her climate schtick. Of course, they never really like to say what kind of economic system they want, just buzz phrases such as economic justice and redistribution of (Other People’s) wealth.

What they essentially want is the government in charge of everything, with these Warmists never realizing that it would apply to their own lives.

But, hey, this tiny increase in global temperatures is also causing racism and hate crimes!

To make matters worse, this isn’t the only crisis we face. Economic inequality, precarious work, a housing crisis, and rising racism threaten our communities and social fabric. And yet year after year, Canada’s emissions are stuck at historic highs, two billionaires control as much wealth as almost a third of the population, and 46% of Canadians are within $200 of insolvency. Reported hate crimes increased nearly 50% in 2017, and the number of white supremacist groups in Canada has grown 200% between 2015-2018.

What does that all have to do with ‘climate change’? This is Warmist World, where every single issue out there is linked to carbon pollution.

NYC Surrenders On Gun Restrictions, Asking Supreme Court To Drop Lawsuit

By William Teach July 6, 2019 – 7:09 am

I’ve mentioned this suit brought against New York City several times, and now NYC is going even further in trying to end the suit

New York City Backs Off Gun Restrictions To Avoid Supreme Court Defeat

The Supreme Court should dismiss a challenge to New York City’s gun transportation ban because a new ordinance will moot the case, city lawyers told the justices Wednesday.

The ordinance and a newly enacted state law will give the plaintiffs who challenged the transportation ban everything they have sought in court, making dismissal the appropriate course, city lawyers wrote in a letter to the high court.

“The new city regulation gives petitioners everything they have sought in this lawsuit,” assistant corporation counsel Richard Dearing wrote. “The new state law, upon signature by the governor, will make the case doubly moot.”

If the case is not dismissed, the city will continue arguing the dispute is moot in a legal brief due Aug. 5. They will not address the merits of the controversy, Dearing wrote.

While the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the city, the Supreme Court decided to review the case, which truly scared NYC, and they are thinking that the city will lose at the Supreme Court. So, the city changed the law, stating

“If, however, this Court prefers to allow briefing (and potentially oral argument) to play out, respondents will file a brief on the designated due date maintaining in greater detail that the case is moot,” the letter reads.

“Respondents do not intend to address whether the Constitution entitles petitioners (or any other residents of New York City with premises licenses) to transport their handguns from their homes in the city to second homes, or to firing ranges or shooting competitions beyond municipal borders, where they have a legal right to possess them. Respondents no longer have any stake in that legal question,” it adds.

Technically, they are correct. With the law gone, there is no point. Or, is there? As I wrote back in May, the idea here is to make the chance of a ruling moot

The rule itself was about restricting where law abiding citizens could take their firearms. They were limited to 7 shooting ranges in the city (which the city would also like to shut down), but not to second homes or shooting ranges outside the city. The changes would remove those restrictions. If the court drops review of the case, you know that those restrictions would slowly re-appear. Because if the gun grabbers can’t do the Big Law, they’ll do death by a thousand rules.

Once the case is dropped, what would stop NYC from slowly reinstating the same restrictions over a couple years? At which point the suit would have start fresh. The question is, will the 2nd Amendment supporters on the Court think the same thing, and decide to listen to arguments and provide a ruling which would stop any future restrictions in NYC and, essentially, every other gun grabbing area?

Bummer: Illegal Alien Gets Fine From ICE For $497,777

By William Teach July 5, 2019 – 3:30 pm

If you can’t pay the fine don’t do the crime

Ordered Deported, Then Sent a $497,777 Fine From ICE

Edith Espinal spends her days praying, reading and, when feeling brave, taking short accompanied walks outside the Mennonite church in Columbus, Ohio, where she has been living for 21 months. Church leaders have been protecting Ms. Espinal, who crossed illegally into the United States more than two decades ago, while she fights a deportation order.

But earlier this week, the church secretary handed Ms. Espinal a letter from Immigration and Customs Enforcement that said she had “willfully” refused to leave the country, had “connived or conspired” to prevent her deportation, and would owe the government nearly half a million dollars.

“We don’t have this amount of money,” Ms. Espinal, 42, said Wednesday of the $497,777 bill. “I never imagined they’d send it to us.”

Ms. Espinal was among several undocumented immigrants living in houses of worship who this week received similar notices, the latest measure taken by the Trump administration in its crackdown on illegal immigration.

Citing the Immigration and Nationality Act, ICE officials said the agency has the right to impose civil fines, up to $799 a day, on undocumented immigrants who have been ordered removed, or who have failed to leave the country. Officials said the agency began issuing such notices in December, though it was not clear on Thursday how many had been sent.

Let’s be clear: these are people who have been ordered out by judges after going through the legal process, and have no legal recourse left to stay in the United States. If they do not like the fines, they should have left.

UK Green New Deal Seeks “Economic Transformation” Or Something

By William Teach July 5, 2019 – 10:30 am

Once again, remember that the membership of the Cult of Climastrology tells us that this is all about Science

Green New Deal 2.0: Activists revitalise UK climate change plan
Proposal seeks massive economic transformation and is backed by MP Caroline Lucas, who designed original framework.

The progressive think-tank Common Wealth has published a 10-point Green New Deal plan for the United Kingdom to transform public finance and tackle the climate emergency.

In a report released on Thursday the British advocacy organisation – in conjunction with parliament members, activists, and policymakers – calls for an investment overhaul to decarbonise the economy and create millions of new jobs.

The group hopes to create 100 percent renewable energy, an improved public transportation system, and zero-carbon housing for all.

“A UK Green New Deal is vital to our future, and to the future of the 1.4 million young people who have joined inspiring school climate strikes across the globe,” said UK Green Party MP Caroline Lucas.

She called the new vision an “economic plan for a rapid transition”.

It’s way more than that

“The time for incrementalism has passed,” said Clive Lewis, a Labour MP for Norwich South. “The climate emergency demands an emergency response – a bold, government-led action.”

“Labour is committed to rewriting the Treasury rulebooks to green all future public investment and deliver a Green Industrial Revolution,” Lewis added. “This report sets out exactly the kind of ambition our politics needs in the face of climate crisis.”

Matthew Lawrence, the plan’s author and the director of Common Wealth, said he believes the climate crisis is, in fact, a “political crisis” that can be solved only by “the movements and communities on the front line of change”.

Rebecca Newsom, an activist with Greenpeace UK, said that the “existential threat of climate change can and must be turned into an opportunity to restructure our entire economy if we’re to make the most of this moment and reverse the injustices of poverty and social inequality.”

Sounds like it’s using the manufactured “climate crisis” to force authoritarian government on citizens, does it not? Seriously, go read that 10 point plan and see if this is science or far left politics.

Vox Thinks We Might Get A Hotcoldwetdry Debate, And Has Questions For Candidates

By William Teach July 5, 2019 – 7:11 am

Having a ‘climate change’ debate for the Democratic Party primaries is a case of “be careful what you wish for, because you might get it”. One specific paragraphs of this Vox article by uber-Warmist David Roberts tells the real story of the meaning of ‘climate change’

We might get a climate debate after all. Here are 10 questions to ask candidates.

The controversy over whether Democrats will hold a debate focused on climate change has been at a stalemate for weeks, but lately, there’s been a little movement. As Alex Kaufman at HuffPost reports, a DNC committee may vote in August on two resolutions: one to hold a formal climate debate, and one to arrange a more informal forum. (The latter would be like the abortion rights forum Planned Parenthood hosted last month, with 20 Dem candidates attending.) Eighteen candidates now support the idea of a climate debate, as Rebecca Leber at Mother Jones reports:

I have to admit, I have strenuously mixed feelings about the prospect of a Democratic climate debate.

On one hand, yes, climate change is important and tied to all the other issues Americans care about. It would be nice to have a robust conversation among the candidates that illuminated their thinking and educated the public.

On the other hand, good lord, so much could go wrong.

The unfortunate background condition here is that very few people know enough about climate policy and politics to maintain a focused, substantive hour-long discussion, and cable TV moderators are unlikely to be among them.

Actually, what could really go wrong for Democrats is that they are exposed for the Big Government authoritarians they really are, and that their policies will cost people a lot of money and take away their freedom and choice. Here’s where Roberts inadvertently tells the truth on the ‘climate change’ debate from the Warmists as he discusses the Washington Post article I mentioned from July 1st on questions for a climate change debate

But the primary sources of conflict in climate politics are not disagreements over science. Like all political conflicts, they are ultimately power struggles between incumbents and challengers — in this case, between fossil fuels (and all the people, practices, and industries that depend on them) and the sundry forces rallying around cleaner alternatives.

It is power, not science, primarily at issue. That is what divides climate hawks from their opponents. Questions should focus on how to shift the balance of power.

And that is what this is about: power. The power to use the government to control citizens, private entities, the economy, the energy sector, and everything. This hasn’t been about science since about 5 minutes after the question was asked if CO2 output from Mankind was making the Earth warmer, and certainly not since the fall of the Soviet union and all the far left needed to find something else to support, hence the tag “watermelons” (green on the outside, red on the inside.”

And pretty much every question Roberts offers is based on political/government power. Surprise? Here’s a few more from me

  1. The majority of citizens, including Democrats, aren’t willing to spend more than $10 a month out of their own pockets for Hotcoldwetdry: do you plan on convincing them that they should want to have more money taken, or will you just force them to pay that and more?
  2. How much out of your own pocket are you will to pay and how much of your own freedom are your personally willing to give up?
  3. Will you try and convince citizens of your policies, seeing as how citizens have voted against them almost every time, or will you force them on the citizens, telling them to just suck it up and deal with it?
  4. Do you believe, like so many Warmists, that capitalism must be thrown in the trash-heap and replaced with a government run economic system?

Washington Post: Trump Was Right About SJWs Coming After Everything From America’s Past

By William Teach July 5, 2019 – 6:50 am

It must have caused the Washington Post quite a bit of heartburn to publish anything that says that Trump is right

After Confederate statues, America’s culture war targets Betsy Ross and a founding father

As the nation has celebrated its birthday with displays of its contemporary power and prestige this week, two of its cherished historic symbols came under fire — its first flag and its third president.

Sportswear company Nike pulled sneakers depicting the 13-star banner known as the Betsy Ross flag after former NFL football player Colin Kaepernick, who has a sponsorship deal with Nike, reportedly objected: The flag, which dates to the era of 18th-century slavery, has occasionally been used by white supremacists and other far-right groups. And the city council in Charlottesville — where Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello plantation is located — voted this week to scrap the former president’s local holiday in favor of one that celebrates the emancipation of African American slaves.

The twin moves opened new fronts in the culture war that President Trump foreshadowed two years ago, after white nationalists marched through Charlottesville to protest the proposed removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

“Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments,” Trump tweeted . “Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson — who’s next, Washington, Jefferson?”

The nation’s growing diversity and polarization has prompted an outcry over the stain of slavery and a reckoning with some of America’s most identifiable historic symbols. The debate over which figures and moments are to be celebrated and which condemned has shifted from emblems of the fallen Confederacy to those that are foundational to the nation’s origin. The giants of U.S. history are being taken off their pedestals, both literally and figuratively, to be reexamined, warts and all.

They’re after just about everything from America’s past. A school in San Francisco, one named after George Washington, is not just planning to cover up a mural of The Life Of Washington that has been there since the New Deal era, the snowflakes are so triggered that they are going paint over it, because it is “hurtful” to the students (who probably do not even pay attention to it).

Many of these SJWs simply hate America. Kaepernick posted a Frederick Douglas quote on Independence Day which basically shows that he does, in fact, hate America. Then Ted Cruz schooled him with something called “context.” And, of course, America hater Colin started the whole Betsy Ross thing. And he, and the others, won’t stop. A question for them is “what is your end-goal?” Another is “what nation can you go to that doesn’t have something in their background?” Because things were different hundreds of years ago.

Unhinged America Haters At Jezebel Want To Rename Independence Day

By William Teach July 4, 2019 – 4:25 pm

But, hey, remember, these Leftists tell us that they love America, they just want to change everything about it (via Twitchy)

From the screed

It’s easy to cling to the idea that traditions are traditions because traditions have always been traditions. It’s a cyclical mode of thought, despite fueling much of the baby boomer generation’s voting habits for the last 40 years! But if you stand in opposition to our country’s actions and believe we occupy stolen land—what are we really celebrating? Why waste a beautiful holiday on the rotting carcass of self-described superpower when we could be doing anything else. With that in mind, I’ve put together some quick suggestions on alternate holidays much more in line with America’s next generation, which still allow us to enjoy a long summer weekend:

  • Everyone Posts the Same Flag Cake on Instagram Day (Hazel Cills)
  • Unionize Your Workplace Day
  • MoviePass Memorial Day
  • Legalize Marijuana (And Release All “Drug Offenders”) Day
  • Crash Didn’t Deserve An Oscar Day
  • Old Town Road Day
  • Kamala Harris Is Still a Cop Day
  • Hot Dog Day (Megan Reynolds)
  • Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston Memorial Day (Julianne Escobedo Shepherd)
  • It’s Ok To Wear Those Flip-Flops Day
  • Reparations Are An Essential Political Agenda For Any Democratic Candidate Hoping To Be Elected Day
  • Yes You Can Eat Three Ice Creams Today Day (Alexis Sobel Fitts)
  • Abolish ICE Day
  • De-platform Gwyneth Paltrow Day
  • Charlie’s Angels 2: Full Throttle Is A Better Movie Than The Original Day
  • Rihanna’s Side Boob Day
