LOL: Climate Cult Shouts Down Democrats

‘Scream night’: Democrats get shouted down by their own activists over climate change

Democrats are scrambling to find their footing in the second Donald Trump era. But for 30 minutes on Thursday night, they struggled even to get through a party meeting.

The final forum of candidates running to lead the Democratic National Committee was derailed at numerous points by climate protesters — a reminder of the fractures still dividing a party reeling from its losses in November.

More than a dozen protesters, some affiliated with the Sunrise Movement, repeatedly stopped the DNC forum proceedings throughout the first 30 minutes. After five individual interruptions, six more protesters surged toward the stage, attempting to unfurl a banner, before they were forcibly removed.

LOL

The moderators — MSNBC hosts Jen Psaki, Jonathan Capehart and Symone Sanders-Townsend — grew visibly frustrated by the frequent outbursts, even as they readjusted questions to address climate change.

“If anyone else feels the need to disrupt, please stand up and do it right now,” Sanders-Townsend said.

But the protests continued — becoming so distracting that some of the DNC chair candidates vented their annoyance. Jason Paul, a longshot among the eight contenders, accused the protesters of “hijack[ing] the whole evening” and turning “this into scream night at the DNC.”

Democrats are all sorts of happy when their moonbat base disrupts Republicans and companies and stuff, but, aren’t happy when the same wackos come after them.

The whole tweet

Adah was one of the 3 young people with Sunrise who stood up this evening. Here’s what she wrote about why she decided to speak up.

“I’m 18 years old and I’m scared about what Trump having power means for our democracy and our planet. Millions of people will die if people like Trump keep winning.

To defeat Trump, the Democratic Party needs to loudly and proudly take a stand against billionaires and show voters that Democrats are the only party ready to fight for working people.

That’s how we will win back young voters and working class voters and defeat Trump. We’re asking all the candidates to sign the People, not Billionaires pledge and commit to: (1) revive the Obama-era ban on corporate donations to the DNC and (2) ban SuperPAC spending in Democratic Primaries.

We’ve shown up at forums around the country and we’ve reached out to all the candidates asking them to sign. We’ve tried to get our questions asked.

We’ve tried to ask nicely. Tonight, with just days before the Chair election, I stood up to make sure this question got asked. I appreciate the moderators taking up this question and asking it of the candidates.”

It’s great listening to all these world savvy youts, eh? But, she does have a point: the Dems abandoned the working class. Taking a stand against all the rich folks backing the Democrats won’t make a difference, as the working class knows the Democrats do not care, they just patronize.

Washington Elites Now Against Warrants For Section 702

By William Teach January 31, 2025 – 10:30 am

Why? Because Donald Trump’s pick for head of National Intelligence is for them. This would include Democrats, Republicans, the Credentialed Media, and former intel head honchos (you know, who were completely wrong on Russia Russia Russia, Hunter’s laptop, and so much more)

Gabbard backs use of warrants to ensure Section 702 searches are ‘targeted and justified’

Tulsi Gabbard, President Donald Trump’s nominee to serve as director of national intelligence, said Thursday she is in favor of using warrants to carry out data collection under a controversial clause in a foreign intelligence collection law.

Gabbard’s stance on warrant use for data collection under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act — which allows the federal government to collect and share data on foreign targets who may pose national security risks — runs counter to views by current and former officials that the warrants slow down critical data collection.

Counter! What does the law say? Isn’t that what matters? That it is the only thing that matters? Well, per legal challenges, courts have ruled that one is not needed. The ACLU has sued multiple times to require warrants, at least where Americans are involved. My personal opinion is that as soon as a specific American, group, or company is identified then a warrant should be required. And, it is a very slippery slope when the Federal Bureau of Investigation is trolling the electronic information of Americans with blanket authorization.

Remember, Section 702 is supposed to be about communications and such for people outside the U.S., which can at times involve Americans outside the U.S. and inside. The FBI is super against needing a warrant when it involves Americans in the US, because it would be inconvenient. Because they want to take the short route.

(ACLU) FBI, CIA, and NSA officials routinely search through this vast trove of data for information specifically about Americans, even though these communications were all collected without a warrant. Information found through these “backdoor searches” can be used to prosecute Americans for crimes, even if they are not related to national security.

It’s not often the ACLU is right these days, but, they have a point. And, remember when Democrats were losing their ever-lovin’-shit over Section 702 during the Bush years? I do. Of course, that was simply because Bushitler was president. They were rather quiet during the Obama years. Back to original article

“Warrants should generally be required before an agency undertakes a U.S. Person query of FISA Section 702 data, except in exigent circumstances, such as imminent threats to life or national security,” Gabbard wrote in pre-submitted answers to questions from members of the Senate Intelligence Committee ahead of her Thursday confirmation hearing. “This warrant requirement strengthens the IC by ensuring queries are targeted and justified.

Gabbard was pressed on this answer by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) during the hearing, confirming this was still her current position. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) later asked Gabbard if she knew that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Court, where Gabbard said the warrants would be obtained from, had ruled that warrants were not required, and Gabbard answered that she was “aware.”

Others will disagree. I disagree. The FBI is trolling up all this data, then querying it. If a person is a U.S. citizen the FBI should be required to get a warrant. Foreigners in the U.S.? Are they here legally? Yes? Should they get 4th Amendment protections? That’s questionable? But, American citizens damned sure should IMO, courts be damned.

Regardless, now that Gabbard is the nominee the Elites are against protecting Americans. BTW, I do support Gabbard. Yes, she certainly holds old school Democrat beliefs: socially liberal but for protection of America. Like a JFK. But, she seems to want to do the job as required by Trump, who nominated her. We can disagree on social issues, but, we agree on national security. And that’s what the job is. I think she will do great.

Treasury Department Exits Global Climate Scam Group

By William Teach January 31, 2025 – 7:15 am

The dominoes keep falling on the climate scam. If people want to practice what they preach, have at it. Stop using Other People’s money and trying to make them comply

US Treasury Department Withdraws From Global Regulatory Climate Change Group

The U.S. Treasury Department said on Thursday it was withdrawing from a global body of central banks and regulators devoted to exploring ways to police climate risk in the financial system.

“The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s (Treasury) Federal Insurance Office (FIO) today notified the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) that it is withdrawing its membership,” the U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement.

Oh, and, hey, more!

FERC Terminates Draft Policy Statement on Climate Change Impacts of Natural Gas Infrastructure

Under the direction of Chairman Christie, President Trump’s new appointee to lead the agency, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order revoking the draft policy statement that would have assessed the upstream and downstream greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and associated climate change impacts of natural gas infrastructure projects.

High-level overview

By revoking its Interim GHG Policy Statement, FERC has signalled that it will not assess certain disclosures of GHG emissions of infrastructure projects. FERC will continue to perform environmental reviews on each natural gas pipeline certificate application under its jurisdiction but will operate on a “case-by-case” basis oriented on the characteristics of each project. The decision follows several years of federal appeals court decisions which have often remanded orders back to FERC due to insufficient consideration of climate change impacts, which served as a driving factor in the agency contemplating updates to its Policy Statement. Operating under a new chairman, FERC is ostensibly aligning with the energy policy agenda—as shown by the Executive Orders issued in the first week—of the second Trump administration.

Here’s hoping this continues on into every federal agency.

DOJ Says No More Money For Illegal Aliens In Texas

By William Teach January 31, 2025 – 7:00 am

And you can bet this is going to be happening in all states soon enough

Department of Justice cuts off federally funded legal aid to detained immigrants

The U.S. Department of Justice told immigration attorneys who aid detained immigrants through a federal program to stop providing legal services as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing changes to the immigration system, according to legal aid groups.

“To be told that we can’t go in and help people is devastating. More so to the people we’re trying to help who are being cut off from the outside world,” said Michael Luken, executive director for Amica Center for Immigrant Rights, the contractor that provides legal services. “We often hear people don’t know what’s happening or why they are detained: ‘What is going to happen next?’ And we were being stopped from reaching that basic level of orientation.”

The Jan. 22 DOJ memo told legal providers to “stop work immediately” in the four programs that provide legal services to detained immigrants, including the Legal Orientation Program, which Congress has funded since 2003. The other programs include Immigration Court Helpdesk, Counsel for Children Initiative and Family Group Legal Orientation Program.

“This email is to send you notification to stop work immediately pursuant to the Executive Order on the following task orders,” the DOJ memo said, according to ABC News, which reported getting access to the memo.

Well, if they want to represent illegal aliens they can do it on their one time and money. Why should the taxpayers of the U.S. have to pay for illegal aliens to get legal representation? Let them pay for it. Or the lawyers and groups if they so choose.

American Gateways, a subcontractor for the federal program and an immigrant rights advocacy group based in Austin, served 7,000 detained migrants in 2024 across three immigration detention centers in Texas. Edna Yang, co-executive director of American Gateways, said blocking detained immigrants from access to legal information will hurt the people and the system itself.

Why? Is this a private group? Let them get the money from Democrats who support illegals. The system is that none of these people should actually be in the U.S.

Department of Justice cuts off federally funded legal aid to detained immigrants
The decision to halt the program could prevent thousands of people detained in immigration detention centers from receiving legal advice.

Well, this article is super hard behind the paywall, but, a constant refresh says that the money is being pulled from all sorts of illegal alien supporting non-profits and NGOs. Again, let them pay themselves. They can solicit money others, but, not the taxpayers.

Comrade Sanders Clashes With RFK, Jr Over Climate Doom

By William Teach January 30, 2025 – 3:00 pm

Let me start out by saying I’m not a big fan of RFK, Jr. He may well do an excellent job as head of HHS, but, he is still a crank, has gone overboard on vaccines (crapping all over the garbage COVID vaccines is one thing, going after ones that work, like for polio, is something different) and had always been a believer in anthropogenic climate change. Anyhow, Comrade Sanders brought it up for some reason, despite taking lots of fossil fueled flights from Vermont to D.C. and back, and traveling around in fossil fueled vehicles

RFK Jr reveals major issue he and Trump disagree on

climate cowRobert F. Kennedy Jr has revealed one of the major points of disagreements in his and President Donald Trump’s relationship – in what may be the first sign of trouble in paradise in MAGA.

RFK Jr was put through a brutal grilling by senators at his confirmation hearing to become health secretary on Wednesday, where he was pressed on some of his controversial views on things like vaccines, Medicaid and fast food.

Despite coming from a Democrat dynasty, he repeatedly told the hearing he would follow Trump’s lead on policies such as abortion, saying: ‘I serve at the pleasure of the President.’

If he doesn’t want to be a part of what Trump wants then he wouldn’t have accepted the nomination, and, if he goes off the reservation Trump will shitcan him

But the cracks in their relationship began to show when RFK Jr was quizzed by Bernie Sanders about climate change and its effects on people’s health.

Sanders stated that he believes climate change is real and is a health care issue, but ‘Donald Trump thinks it is a hoax [that originated in] in China’, before turning it to RFK Jr and asking if he stands with the president on the matter.

But RFK Jr quickly answered, saying: ‘President Trump and I, from our first meeting, agreed to disagree on that issue. I believe climate change is existential. My job is to make Americans healthy again.’

Exactly. The climate scam is not his problem as head of HHS, no matter what the climate cult thinks, no matter how much they try and make it be part of health care. Kennedy just wants to do the job. He doesn’t have to agree with Trump, the boss, on everything, he just has to do the job. That’s it.

RFK Jr called for the end of subsidies for fossil fuels, stronger enforcement of laws like the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act and new regulations on plastics and chemicals. He also wanted to provide more protection for wildlife, lands and waters.

However, he has also said that putting all focus and resources to combat global warming was a ‘huge tactical error.’

While speaking on ‘The Real Cause of Climate Change podcast,’ RFK Jr discussed how he has been trying to convince friends and that natural ‘solar cycles’ are behind global warming, not greenhouse gas emissions from humans.

Kennedy is an environmentalist at heart, sometimes to the point of being an eco-weenie. And, I’ve heard/read him going full Warmist. At other times, he links it to mostly being natural. Regardless, he seems to want to do the job of head of HHS and not drag other baggage into it. We’ll see.

Trump Looks To Boot Hamas Supporting Students Out Of U.S.

By William Teach January 30, 2025 – 10:30 am

Many are saying: “ZOMG, this is totally against the 1st Amendment! Trump is totally a dictator! How dare he do this!”

Trump orders review to identify, punish and deport antisemites — including students on visas

President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday instructing federal agencies to identify “all civil and criminal authorities” available to combat antisemitism — including finding ways to deport anti-Jewish activists who violated laws.

The order, first reported by The Post, requires agency and department leaders to provide the White House with recommendations within 60 days and outlines plans for the Justice Department to investigate pro-Hamas graffiti and intimidation, including on college campuses.

“Jewish students have faced an unrelenting barrage of discrimination; denial of access to campus common areas and facilities, including libraries and classrooms; and intimidation, harassment, and physical threats and assault,” the order says.

“It shall be the policy of the United States to combat anti-Semitism vigorously, using all available and appropriate legal tools, to prosecute, remove, or otherwise hold to account the perpetrators of unlawful anti-Semitic harassment and violence.”

The executive order calls for the deportation of resident aliens — including students with visas — who broke laws as part of anti-Israel protests following the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks that sparked the invasion of Gaza.

Is this anti-1st Amendment? Once one starts calling for the murder of people, no. Once one starts using the propaganda of a US designated terrorist group, no. These visitors to our country have marched in the streets and on college campuses, harassed Jews, called for their eradication. They yammer anti-America propaganda, burn American flags. They are here on visas and as refugees. They are guests, and they hate the US and support terrorists. They should not be here. Why have we been letting these people in? You can bet going forward the Trump admin will be rejected all those who are Islamists.

Hate speech generally is legal in the US, but the House GOP report released last month argues that federal law bars recipients of taxpayer funds from tolerating discrimination — allowing a way to force recipients to stiffen policies.

Interesting. Democrats usually are for banning “hate speech”. But, they’re fine with Jew and America hatred.

Federal courts also have found that non-citizens have fewer free speech rights.

The Supreme Court ruled in the landmark 1972 case Kleindienst v. Mandel that the government could refuse a visa to a Belgian Marxist — after prior court cases affirmed the deportation of anarchist and Communist non-citizens.

When the speech is calling for killing people, well, bye Felicia.

Your Fault: Britain Could See Outbreaks Of Diarrhea From Climate Doom

By William Teach January 30, 2025 – 7:00 am

It just goes to prove that the climate cult can always find a way to go lower with their fearmongering

Climate change could spark outbreaks of DIARRHOEA in Britain, scientists warn

From the unprecedented heatwave in 2022 to the deadly Storm Eowyn just this month, climate change is already wreaking havoc on Britain’s weather.

Now, a study has revealed that humans could be next in the firing line.

Scientists from the University of Surrey say that climate change could spark outbreaks of diarrhoea in Britain.

In their study, the team found a clear link between warmer conditions and more salmonella cases in England and Wales.
Symptoms of salmonella infections include diarrhoea and stomach cramps, as well as vomiting and fever.

Infection is usually caused by eating raw or undercooked meat, poultry, and eggs or egg products or by drinking unpasteurized milk.

However, the scientists now say there’s increasing evidence weather plays a ‘crucial role’ in the transmission of the bacteria.

Sure. Now, let’s go back to the beginning of the Little Ice Age, around 1347, when the world was hit with a massive outbreak of bubonic plague which killed around 50 million. Population levels took till the 1500s. Which also saw an outbreak, though, not as bad.

The study compared UK Health Security Agency data of confirmed salmonella cases in England and Wales between 2000 and 2016 with Met Office weather data from the same period.

So, a simple 16 year period of time? Have they compared it to previous Holocene Warm periods?

The researchers admit that they cannot be sure of causation – in other words, that the climate variables are causing the rise of salmonella infection.

So, basically the whole article and everything the scientists were saying about climate doom is all for naught?

Trump Admin To Send Criminal Illegals To Gitmo

By William Teach January 30, 2025 – 6:45 am

Another day and another thing that is going to make Democrats who support illegals unhinged

Defense Secretary Hegseth says Guantanamo Bay is ‘perfect place’ to hold migrants ‘safely in the interim’

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the United States will “humanely move” criminal migrants out of the country and work with other agencies to secure the southern border in his first interview since he was confirmed last week by the U.S. Senate.

Hegseth, a former “Fox & Friends Weekend” co-host, addressed President Donald Trump’s memorandum to the Departments of Homeland Security (DHS) and Defense (DOD), calling on them to prepare a 30,000-person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay, a U.S. Naval base in Cuba.

He told Fox News host Will Cain Wednesday that Guantanamo Bay is a “perfect place” to hold criminal migrants “safely in the interim” as the process to repatriate them to their homelands plays out. (snip)

Hegseth clarified that criminal migrants aren’t being put in camps with “ISIS and other criminals.”

“This is a temporary transit, which is already the mission of naval station Guantanamo Bay, where we can plus up thousands and tens of thousands if necessary, to humanely move illegals out of our country where they do not belong, back to the countries where they came from in proper process,” Hegseth said on “The Will Cain Show.”

Good. Get them out of the U.S. If they want to escape then Cuba can have them. Get them out pending repatriation to their home country. And, if their home country isn’t willing, they can laze about at Club Gitmo. This will be a good deterrent for those who are thinking of coming to the U.S., and those who haven’t been caught yet. Maybe we could build a facility on an uninhabited island off the coast of Alaska, let them chill in the cold and snow.
