ZOMG: Republican Said “Cotton Pickin'” During Georgia Rally!!!!!!

By William Teach November 5, 2018 – 12:37 pm

This has sent Politico’s uber-pasty white Matt Dixon into apoplexy on behalf of black people who most likely use the phrase themselves if they live in the South rather than screaming F bombs at people

At DeSantis rally, Perdue says Florida governor’s race ‘so cotton-pickin’ important’

During a Saturday rally for Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis, President Donald Trump’s top agriculture official used the term “cotton-pickin’” to describe the importance of Florida’s gubernatorial race, which also features Democrat Andrew Gillum, who is running to be Florida’s first black governor.

“Public policy matters. Leadership matters,” said Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said at a Lakeland rally, according to audio provided by American Bridge. “And that is why this election is so cotton-pickin’ important to the state of Florida. I hope you all don’t mess it up.”

Perdue is a former governor of Georgia. (snip)

From the start of the general election, race has played a dominating factor in Florida’s nationally-watched governor‘s race. The day after the Aug. 28 primary election, on a different Fox show, DeSantis called Gillum “articulate” and said voters shouldn’t “monkey this up” by electing him. Like Bossie, DeSantis was rebuked on air by a Fox News personality, but the former three-term congressman, who is white, refused to apologize because he said he did nothing wrong and his comment was not about race.

In Liberal World, and in the Leftist media, everything is raaaaacist. But, sometimes a phrase is just a phrase, and some people use them rather than blurting out curse words. These big liberal city elitists need to get out of their comfort zone and talk to real people, rather than just staying in their bubbles. And stop taking Offense at everything. Sure, the phrase has roots in cotton picking, which involved slaves. But, not all who were involved with picking cotton were slaves. Even Bugs Bunny used to say it a lot, as did others in the cartoons.

Since You Ate Lots Of Ice Cream This Summer, Rat Populations Could Explode Or Something

By William Teach November 5, 2018 – 7:49 am

Seriously, all that ice cream required lots of moo cows producing milk. Then all the sugar and flavorings which all had to be trucked in by fossil fueled vehicles, churned, then put in some sort of container, then shipped to the stores in trucks that used evil for climate change refrigerants, then you drove your fossil fueled vehicle to the store to purchase. How evil are you? You could be causing the Ratpocalypse

RATPOCALYPSE: CLIMATE CHANGE COULD MEAN AN IMMINENT RAT POPULATION EXPLOSION, SCIENTISTS SAY

Scientists are warning that rising temperatures caused by climate change will turn cities worldwide into ideal rat breeding grounds.

Several U.S. cities including New York, Chicago, and Boston pump millions of dollars each year into their respective battles against a rat population explosion. But scientists predict that a global warming of “2 degrees” Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, will occur across the globe by the end of this century. This increase of warmer winters and hotter summers provides the most fertile breeding ground for rats to reproduce at staggering rates.

Bobby Corrigan, a “rat czar” from Cornell University, explained to several news outlets last year that the rodents have a gestation period of 14 days. And as Bloomberg noted this week, rat babies can start reproducing after just one month of life, meaning one pregnant rat can lead to 15,000 to 18,000 new rats in under one year. (snip)

“In some places we’re looking at a tenfold increase in the rodent population,” said Dr. Graeme Elliott, in an interview with The Guardian. The newspaper used a blaring headline warning of a coming “ratpocalypse.”

First of all, it’s interesting that Democrat run big cities full of ‘climate change’ Believers are one of the best breeding grounds for rats, eh? Second, in reality, when there is tons of waste and garbage rats will appear. How many rats show up and then breed when Democrat backed unions for the garbage collectors go on strike and leave garbage to build up in the streets?

To blame this all on a tiny increase in the average global temperatures is absurd. Remember, there was a massive increase in the rat population back during the cooling period known as the Little Ice Age, bringing tons of fleas carrying the Bubonic Plague, otherwise known as the Black Death. It’s thought that 75 million people in Europe and Asia died.

This is just another case of members of the Cult of Climastrology attempting to scare people. Eric Worrall notes

One question Faye – why hasn’t this overwhelming rat explosion you say will happen in New York, Philadelphia and Boston already happened in southern states?

Why isn’t the tropical region where I live utterly overrun by rats?

There are reasons for that. Such as limited predators in those Northern elite areas. Oh, hey, maybe Warmists will tell is it’s too hot for the rats in the South and such now!

NY Democrats Look At Checking Social Media And Internet Searches For All Gun Purchases

By William Teach November 5, 2018 – 7:28 am

As Voros McCracken notes, this violates Amendments “1, 2, 4, maybe 5, and certainly 14. That’s pretty impressive” (via Twitchy)

Perhaps we should have a referendum on changing the NY State Constitution which would require the same searches for elected office and those who want to be hired for government work in NY. From the link

Two New York lawmakers are working to draft a bill that would propose a social media check before a gun purchase.

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and state Sen. Kevin Palmer’s proposal would allow authorities to review three years of social media history and one year of internet search history of any person seeking to purchase a firearm.

“A three-year review of a social media profile would give an easy profile of a person who is not suitable to hold and possess a fire arm,” Adams explains.

The two are hoping to identify any hate speech on social media profiles, which are often revealed only after someone is arrested in a mass shooting.

This would violate a large number of NY state laws, much less their own Constitution, which has similar provisions to the federal Constitution, and, as stated, violate numerous provisions of the federal Constitution. Democrats who wanted to essentially protect Islamic jihadis constantly paraphrased the Ben Franklin saying, writing “those who would give up temporary freedom for security will get neither” are now super enthused to give Government and it’s various whims by temporary elected residents the ability to define hate speech and empower government authorities to search people’s information without a warrant based on criminal activity.

The NY State Constitution specifically states in Article I Section 8 “Every citizen may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of that right; and no law shall be passed to restrain or abridge the liberty of speech or of the press.” Think these Democrats trying to pass this anti-gun law care?

Interestingly, that Ben Franklin saying is also being applied to the government spying on U.S. citizens. Which is what this would be. Along with a measure meant to discourage people from even applying for a gun purchase license, and a way of denying as many as many citizens their 2nd Amendment Rights they can get away with.

Bummer: Schwarzenegger Says Warmists Doing Terrible Job Of Selling Their Cult, Er, Concerns

By William Teach November 4, 2018 – 5:41 pm

Why do we have to sell scientific truth in the first place? If the science was sound people could look and say “huh, I get it.”

Schwarzenegger to CNN’s Axelrod: Environmentalists doing a terrible job selling climate change concerns

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger slammed environmentalists for failing to “sell” concerns about climate change to the American people, and argued that individual states like California “cannot rely on the federal government” for environmental protections.

Schwarzenegger made the comments on “The Axe Files,” hosted by former Obama campaign chief strategist David Axelrod. The program originally launched as a podcast in 2015 that CNN turned into a weekly Saturday program in May 2017.

The “True Lies” and “Terminator” said environmentalists are not making the argument on the dangers of climate change in a way that resonates with the American people.

“Environmentalists have done a terrible job in selling this,” Schwarzenegger said. “Because the more they talk about global climate change, which no one understands what that is, they talk about what’s going to happen 20 years from now, and the sea level rising and the polar bear and all of these kind of things.”

“No one cares about that when you want to have a job and you want to bring food on the table today,” he continued. “But what people care about is if you say, ‘This is going to cause cancer. This is going to make your child have asthma early on.'”

“And as soon as they hear the health aspect of it, because that’s how we sold it to the people in California, this is the difference, it has to be sold the right way.”

First, they never really sold it to California’s, they simply passed legislation and told citizens to deal with it. Beyond that, Arnie is saying that what the Warmists have been doing is what he advocates: pimping the doom and gloom of something that may or may not happen based on something that may or may not be scientifically sound which relies upon politicized and manufactured data. All to scare people into giving up their money and freedom by elites who already have theirs and refuse to give it up.

“It’s crazy because we are polluting the world and it’s not just about global climate change, but it is the amount of people that it kills every day all over the world. Every year, seven million people die because of pollution, so if the responsibility of government is to protect people, then why would I let that happen?” he concluded.

Name one person who died from the atmospheric content of carbon dioxide.

Schwarzenegger was referring to a May 2018 report from the World Health Organization based on 2016 data that an estimated 7 million people face a premature death each year due to air pollution.

Said report was about real air pollution, not a trace gas necessary for life on Earth. But, Arnold has mixed his talking points to make it appear as if CO2 was the cause.

New Democrat Idea: Let 16 And 17 Year Olds Vote For President

By William Teach November 4, 2018 – 7:49 am

Democrats should always remember that their attempts to hijack things political can always come back to bite them, like when they decided to go with the nuclear option

Washington, D.C., could lower the voting age to 16: City council is weighing proposal to give teenagers a say in the 2020 presidential election

The Washington, D.C., City Council is preparing to vote on a bill to lower the voting age to 16 for all elections, both local and federal.

WTOP-FM reports the bill won 3-0 approval in the Judiciary and Public Safety committee Thursday and will get a final vote before the full council this month.

The 26th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees citizens 18 and older the right to vote, but scholars have said it doesn’t prevent a state, or in this case, the nation’s capital, from setting a lower age.

Council member Charles Allen says his bill will ‘enfranchise the District’s young people and bring their voices into the political process.’

The new law would allow approximately 10,400 teenagers between the ages of 16 and 17 to vote in the 2020 presidential election.

More than 80% of them are identified as youth of color, WIJLA reported.

Vote16DC Campaign Manager Dave Chandrasekaran told the news outlet: ‘DC is poised to become the first major American city to grant voting-rights to 16- and 17-year-olds.

‘At a time when political discourse in this country is so divisive, it’s really inspiriting to witness how passionate D.C. youth are about having a voice and positively influencing our community.’

On one hand, the 26th may, in fact, allow a lowering of the voting age for federal elections. On the other hand, there are and have been multiple pushes for a new Constitutional Amendment to lower the age to 16 for federal elections. So it sees constitutionally shaky that D.C. can do this. You can expect a massive amount of lawsuits filed against the Democratic Party run city (crime index is 3, meaning it is safer than just 3% of U.S. cities. Most violent and property crimes are well over the U.S. average) if they pass this.

But, what’s the point? Adding 10,000 or so mushy heady, hormone addled votes won’t change anything in D.C. in the vote for president, as the city has never voted their 3 electoral college votes to anyone other than a Democrat. And how many might they actually provide? 1,000? Of course, what we will surely see is school field trips to bring the kids to vote.

What if states where the parents trend Republican and teach their kids to vote Republican were to give 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote for President? Well, see, a lot of these places are seeing an influx of Democrats escaping from turning their cities and states into crime ridden, over-priced, job losing, government controlling 2nd class states. Those right leaning kids could take that purple and turning it bright red.

And if we’re trusting them to vote, a very heavy responsibility, then they should have the right to have a firearm. Don’t think people won’t make that argument, including in D.C. if this passes.

ZOMG, Daylight Savings Is Here, And Here’s What You NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!

By William Teach November 3, 2018 – 6:08 pm

If you don’t pay attention your are freaking doomed!

Daylight saving time is coming; here’s what you need to know

It’s almost time to fall back.

What’s going on: Daylight saving time will officially end this coming weekend, giving everyone an extra hour of sleep. Finally.

  • Beginning at 2 a.m. on Nov. 4, the clocks will roll back one hour.
  • So your 7 a.m. today will be your 6 a.m. next week.
  • You’ll want to set your clock back one hour if you’re awake before 2 a.m.
  • If you’re awake around 2 a.m., wait until the morning to change your clocks.

Why?: “Daylight saving time gives people that extra hour of sunlight during the warm summer months, then comes standard time when that extra hour of daylight is snatched away in the evening and shifted to the morning hours. It’s an age-old tradition that officially isn’t that old,” CBS News reports.

Did you pay attention? I really, really hope you paid attention, This Is Important!

Seriously, people, do we really need these kinds of articles? “What you need to know”? It’s a simple concept, like brushing your teeth in the morning. You turn your clocks back one hour. That’s it! No need for an article like this.

Bummer: Democrats Lack Robust Hotcoldwetdry Plan

By William Teach November 3, 2018 – 12:20 pm

This has give the UK Guardian a case of the sads

‘Precious little’: Democrats lack robust climate change plan despite global crisis

Democrats don’t have a plan to address climate change comprehensively – or even to a significant degree – if they regain control of the US government in the near future, despite criticizing Republicans as the party of pollution.

After failing to get conservatives on board to limit planet-warming gases through legislation or regulation, Democratic leaders in Washington are now wary of wading into another tough political fight, despite an intensifying environmental crisis.

If Democrats win back the House in Tuesday’s midterm elections, their strategy is to hold oversight hearings on Donald Trump’s environmental rollbacks and pursue more incremental and popular measures, according to close observers and a senior Democratic aide.

Environmental advocates hoping progressive politicians will lead efforts to save the planet may be shocked to learn there’s no wide-ranging strategy or headline-grabbing legislation waiting to be unveiled – even if Democrats take the White House in 2020.

You know why? Because they really do not care, either, unless the plan raises taxes and gives government more control over citizens, private entities, and the economy. Their polling surely shows that ‘climate change’ is a bottom end, negligible issue. Few even bother mentioning it at all. They know it won’t really fire up voters.
