“Immigrants” Are Being Forced Into Exile Like Ancient Jews Or Something

By William Teach July 22, 2018 – 8:30 am

Liberal #1: “how can we continue to protest the detainment of illegal aliens?” Liberal #2: “let’s turn that amplifier up to 11.” Credentialed Media: “don’t worry, we’ll equate illegal aliens with lawful immigrants to hook you up”

‘People are being forced into exile:’ Durham group protests immigration policies

Members of the Jewish community were in Durham on Saturday night, taking a stand against immigration policies they call unjust.

In the Jewish community, Tisha B’Av is the day on the calendar to mourn for the destruction of Jewish temples and the persecution of Jews throughout history.

Saturday night, Carolina Jews for Justice observed Tisha B’Av by holding a march and ceremony at the Durham courthouse to protest immigration policies that are separating families at the border.

Those observing Tisha B’Av said there are many similarities between what the Jewish community faced centuries ago and what immigrants are experiencing today.

“It’s not a far link to really know that in this moment, in this place that we as a Jewish community in North Carolina live today, there is a community of people that is being destroyed. Families are being torn apart and people are being forced into expulsion and exile,” said Dove Kent with Carolina Jews for Justice.

Tisha B’av primarily commemorates the destruction of the holy temples in Jerusalem. Secondly, it commemorates tragedies that have befallen Jews over time, such as “most notably the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 and from England in 1290.” Yes, these nutbags are really equating the detention and temporary separation of illegal aliens (often to check to see if the adults really are the parents, and not smugglers or child slavers), and deportation of people who have broken our laws, with Jew hatred. Which these Democrat Jews forget is rampant within the Democrat party.

Where were they when Obama was in office and kids were in cages?

Oh, and then there’s this one (via Twitchy)

They claim they’re refugees and asylum seekers and they’re being given food and shelter, making the safer than the places they claim are too dangerous for them. But, hey, if they don’t like these state of affairs. they can head north to Canada. Or back through Mexico. Or back to their originating nation. Or somewhere else. We didn’t ask them to come here unlawfully. Leave.

News Outlet Which Leads In TDS Decides To Tell Us What TDS Is

By William Teach July 21, 2018 – 3:00 pm

I was going to tell you about the #ZeroHour demonstration which went on today with all the kiddies, but, it apparently failed so badly

that no one seems to be covering it. Not MSNBC, not CNN, not even the hyper-Warmist UK Guardian. So, let’s go to Chris Cillizza at CNN

What is ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ — and do you have it?

“Some people HATE the fact that I got along well with President Putin of Russia,” he tweeted. “They would rather go to war than see this. It’s called Trump Derangement Syndrome!”

Worried you might have Trump Derangement Syndrome? Wondering where it came from? I’m here to help!

Let’s start with what Trump Derangement Syndrome means.

Urban Dictionary offers up this handy definition: “Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason.”

Anyhow, Chris goes through a bunch of stuff, even how this all started as Bush Derangement Syndrome, and ends with

We no longer live around, work around or pal around with people who think any differently than us. We watch cable news that affirms what we already think. We read ideological “news” sites that tell us how good our side is and how bad the other one is. And on and on and on.

Is it any wonder then that we are increasingly willing to lump those who disagree with us into the “deranged” category? To say that those who don’t share our views are mentally deficient in some way?

What does it say about a President — and about a country — when the standard response to those with whom you disagree is that they must be crazy? Nothing good, for sure.

Here’s the thing: not every Liberal has TDS. But, the amount of insanity emanating from the Democrats, and liberals around the world, is gigantic. And it’s not from the fringes. The thing about palling around? That’s mostly a Leftist thing. Conservatives weren’t threatening to leave the US if Obama was elected. We weren’t hanging Obama in effigy. Sure, we made fun of him. We weren’t apoplectic over every single thing he did. We didn’t loathe the man for who he was, but for his policies.

And, let’s not forget that the Left’s standard response to people with differing views is to call them Nazis, KKKers, racists, etc. And that this, along with TDS, involves the Credentialed media and elected Democrats.

Good News: Socialists Bernie Sanders And Alexandra Occasio-Cortez Want To Turn Kansas “Red”

By William Teach July 21, 2018 – 8:26 am

Well, there’s no doubt that the pair are definitely red (or is that green, since they’re super excited to spend other people’s money?), but, wrong context

(Daily Caller) Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made an unfortunate slip during a campaign stop with Sen. Bernie Sanders on behalf of Kansas Democratic Congressional candidate Brent Welder Friday.

“Hello everybody,” Occasio-Cortez said on a video posted to Sanders’ Twitter account Friday evening. “I’m so excited to be hopping on here on Senator Sanders’ account. We’re here in Kansas City to rally for Brent Welder. We’re gonna flip this seat red in November.”

Welder is running against GOP incumbent Kevin Yoder in Kansas’s 3rd congressional district.

https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/1020447912487280648

Obviously, she should have been saying “Blue”. She’s just the gaffe that keeps on giving. How long till she has 3 houses like Socialist Bernie?

Canadian Warmist Recommends Government Pass Laws To Hold Fossil Fuels Companies Liable

By William Teach July 21, 2018 – 7:30 am

The Cult of Climastrology has been at it since the late 1980’s, ramping up their particular schtick of climate change doom year after year. They have the majority of the news media in their corner, yet, people really do not care that much. They issue typically ranks very low on lists of things people care about, and nosedives further when the cost of Doing Something is introduced. So, what’s their big idea?

B.C. lawyer says it’s time for oil companies to pay their share of climate change costs

More than 50 B.C. organizations are calling for climate liability legislation that could smooth the way for lawsuits similar to the ones brought by major U.S. cities in an effort to force fossil fuel companies to cover their share of climate costs.

On Friday, Baltimore became the latest American city to file a lawsuit that asked the courts to hold oil companies financially responsible for climate impacts, the day after a U.S. judge dismissed a similar suit filed by New York City. (snip)

Andrew Gage, a lawyer with West Coast Environmental Law, said similar cases could be fought in Canada now, but there would be a lot of complicated legal questions to answer, and he expects oil companies would appeal them all.

Well, we can’t have people and companies defending themselves, and winning, can we?

It would be less expensive and more transparent for the government to develop legislation that clarifies responsibility for climate change, he said.

“At some point we have to ask whether tax payers alone should be paying for those costs or whether there should be some way to recover them from an industry that has made hundreds of billions of dollars in profits selling the products that gave rise to many of these problems,” Gage said — especially as the costs of climate change continue to rise.

This way leads Fascism. It may work in Canada, which doesn’t have the same type of First and Fourth Amendment protections we have here in the United States. And while the Canadian government doesn’t have any plans to institute laws that would hold fossil fuels companies liable in order to shake them down take their legally earned money, don’t discount that they’re thinking about it.

But, again, it’s funny that Warmists rail against fossil fuels so much but almost never give up their own use of fossil fuels.

LA Times: Democrats Need A Coherent Policy On Immigration Or Something

By William Teach July 21, 2018 – 7:14 am

Justin Gest and Tyler Reny are asking quite a bit. Kinda like asking your dog to drive you to work when you’re hungover

To win over moderates, Democrats need a coherent immigration policy

Two conflicting trends emerge from a new poll conducted by the Washington Post and the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. Americans are largely unsupportive of President Trump’s approach to managing immigration. At the same time, they trust him to handle many aspects of the issue as much as, or more than, they trust congressional Democrats on the issue.

The poll results, released last week, should send a message to Democrats: Opposing Trump’s policies without offering a clear alternative will not be enough to win over public opinion on immigration.

According to the poll, a majority of Americans disapproves of each of Trump’s signature immigration positions: 62% of respondents said they were against the construction of a border wall; 66% said they disagreed with proposed cuts to legal family migration; 72% said they disliked the separation of families at the border; and 94% said they didn’t believe the president’s contention that many migrants who come to the United States are gang members or drug traffickers.

And yet, when asked whether they trust the president or congressional Democrats to protect American jobs and secure the border, most respondents selected Trump. Independent voters, especially those in swing districts, said they trusted the president more to manage undocumented migration, attract the best and brightest immigrants and handle immigration policy overall.

The duo offer more analysis and stats, leading to

Between the disapproval of Trump’s specific measures and these more humane views on immigrants as a group, Democrats should be well positioned to capture moderates when it comes to immigration. But the Democrats offer little beyond a condemnation of Trump’s policies. Their most recognizable counter-proposal is the campaign to abolish the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, a polarizing idea that is not likely to gain widespread support.

The duo then offer a few ideas

There are better solutions for Democrats to unite around. Merit-based immigration appears to draw popular support. Such a system need not be based only on education and professional skills. It could take into account a range of data, including previous visits to the U.S., proficiency in English, shortages in the labor market, the number of family members who are American citizens and underrepresented countries of origin.

The U.S. could also adopt exit stamps to keep track of visa overstays; private family sponsorship of refugees; short-term work visas; and bilateral mobility treaties, which satisfy demands in the labor market without granting residency to large numbers of people. These options are likely to enjoy broad support.

What they miss is that Democrats do not stand for these things. If they ever did, it was decades and decades ago. Any attempt to show support for these ideas, many of them which already exist and are in effect as federal policies, would simply show Democrats as being patronizing and liars. They’ve been railing against any attempts to require lawful immigrants to speak English.

But, none of this covers the real problem, which is illegal immigration. The opinion piece offers zero ideas on this, and illegal immigration is what people are mostly concerned with. If they attempted to offer up the above ideas, Trump would eviscerate them for ignoring illegal immigration.

And, really, this is who they are

(Breitbart “Abolish ICE PDX,” an anarchist group based in Oregon, publicly executed an effigy of President Donald Trump in Portland on Tuesday using a mock guillotine and replicating one of those most familiar scenes from the French Revolution.)

Far-Left Watch noted in its own coverage of the incident: “[T]his theme of wishing to publicly execute ideological opponents borrows from the French Revolution and is alarmingly prevalent in far-left circles.”

The event was captured on Periscope.

The effigy was a piñata of Trump, of the kind that has been on sale for the past three years. The sign on the guillotine read, “Brick by brick, wall by wall, we will make the border fall,” in red paint, which looked like blood. The group sealed the sign with the Anarchist symbol — a capital “A,” circled.

Weirdly, anarchists vote Democrat. This type of nutbaggery is emboldened by the elected Democrats and the big talkers, such as California state senator Kevin De Léon, who is attempting to beat Democrat Dianne Feinstein for “her” senate seat, and hosted an ‘ABOLISH ICE CREAM SOCIAL’ for members of the California Democratic Party executive board. This was a cute way of pushing abolish ICE.

…is land flooded from too much carbon pollution, you might just be a Warmist

The blog of the day is Maggie’s Farm, with a fitness post saying not to forget about working out those legs.

One thing I’ve been trying to do lately is add in more cardio and movement with lower body workouts. I’ve always tried to balance upper body strength with working the legs, and I get on the treadmill, elliptical, and bike machines, but I try and get more movement exercises in for flexibility and such. Otherwise, my legs feel heavy. Thinking about trying Yoga, maybe go over to the tennis courts and just hit a ball at the backboard. I try and do a bit of swimming, but, it’s as boring now as it used to be (I swam competitively through high school).

Ireland Could Be Visited By Great White Sharks Due To ‘Climate Change’ Or Something

By William Teach July 20, 2018 – 12:56 pm

Today’s “ZOMG, we’re all frickin’ doomed” story. Well, this hour’s. Or, should it be this minute’s, because the Cult of Climastrology is constantly putting out the dooooom

Great White sharks to invade Irish waters soon due to global warming

By 2048, Ireland could be faced with a swarm of sharks since the seas only have to increase by 1.8°F (1°C) for the beasts to make it their new home.

According to The Irish Sun, amid global warming, rising sea temperatures could bring with it a northward migration of Great Whites, Hammerheads, and Blacktip sharks to the seas of Ireland and the UK.

Dr. Ken Collins, who studies sharks, believes that in 30 years or so, the availability of prey in warming Irish waters could very well make the area ideal for the infamous creatures.

“You get Great Whites off the coast of South Africa where the water is colder than here and I see no reason why we should not have them in our waters,” Collins stated.

“There are Great Whites in the Med [Mediterranean Sea], which isn’t too far away and so I see no reason why they shouldn’t be spotted here, particularly off the coast of Cornwall where there is an abundant supply of seals, which is their favorite food.”

Well, this is a horrible situation. I mean, sharks in cold water….wait, what was that last part about Great Whites living in colder water?

Sharks are not new to Europe, however, since there have been over 200 shark attacks in the continent, wherein Italy has the highest rate of around 50 in total. The UK comes in a close second with 38 shark attacks since 1900.

So far, there have been no fatal attacks in either Ireland or the UK, but this could soon change with the potential for new players to enter the equation.

We can fix this with a carbon tax, you know.

Anyhow, depending on the source, Great Whites are already off the coast of Ireland. This is not anything new. It’s just a way of scaremongering, because actual science is not the forte of the Cult of Climastrology.

Now Baltimore Plans On Suing Fossil Fuels Companies Over ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach July 20, 2018 – 10:30 am

This will probably go the same way as the other suits: memory holed by a judiciary which says cities have no standing to do this

Baltimore plans suit against oil and gas companies for their role in spurring climate change

Baltimore officials are expected to announce Friday a lawsuit against top oil and gas companies for their role in global climate change.

Mayor Catherine Pugh and city Solicitor Andre M. Davis are scheduled to discuss the complaint at an 11 a.m. news conference.

The lawsuit follows more than a dozen similar complaints filed by governments around the country — some of which judges have quickly tossed.

Just Thursday, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit New York City officials filed against oil companies, echoing a 2011 Supreme Court ruling that called climate change “an undertaking for the political branches” of government.

Perhaps Charm City should worry more about why police are afraid to do their jobs, which has led to more crime. Be more concerned with the high murder rate among the black residents who comprise 65% of the population. Why whites and affluent blacks and others are leaving the city. And a variety of problems.

And, again, I maintain that the fossil fuels companies should refuse to sell their products to the city government, even if just for a week or two. Let’s see them operate without.

Democrats Propose Legislation To Shrink Border Enforcement Zone

By William Teach July 20, 2018 – 7:08 am

Republican House Leader Paul Ryan should do with this just like he wanted to do with the Democrats Abolish ICE legislation: put it up for a vote. And then watch Democrats caterwaul about having to *GASP* vote on their own legislation be a “stunt”

Rep. Pingree, other Democrats propose shrinking zones for immigration checks

U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree is co-sponsoring a bill to shrink the size of the border enforcement zone where federal immigration agents have been asking for proof of citizenship.

The Department of Homeland Security would be allowed to stop vehicles without warrants only within 25 miles of the border instead of within 100 miles as allowed under current law, among other changes. The proposal comes after U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents conducted controversial checkpoints on I-95 in Penobscot County and at a bus station in Bangor.

Customs and Border Protection has authority to conduct citizenship checks without a warrant within 100 miles of the nation’s land and coastal borders. That includes the entire state of Maine, all of which is within 100 miles of either Canada or the Atlantic Ocean. The checkpoints have drawn criticism and fueled fears and rumors of federal crackdowns among immigrants and other residents.

“When two-thirds of Americans live 100 miles from the border, it doesn’t make any sense for immigration agents to stop and question people’s citizenship status far from the point of entry. Not only are warrantless searches hours away from the border a waste of resources, they spread fear in peaceful communities and infringe on my constituents’ rights to be free from unwarranted searches,” Pingree, D-1st District, said in a statement.

Will we soon see Democrats and their nutter base call for the abolition of CBP, like with ICE?

The Border Zone Reasonableness Restoration Act would reduce the area in which federal agents can stop vehicles from 100 miles to 25 miles, limit the zone in which officers can search private lands, except houses, from 25 miles to 10 miles from a U.S. border, and prohibit border patrol agents from stopping vehicles at checkpoints farther than 10 miles from the border without reasonable suspicion that an occupant is in the country illegally.

So, what they really want to do is make it much harder for any federal agents to do the job of stopping illegal aliens. If I had to guess, these Democrats missed the section in the U.S. Constitution which specifies that the federal government is tasked with stopping foreign invasion.

Meanwhile, Democrat David Price (NC-4) (I’m in this shmuck’s district) learned about friendly fire from crazy believers in illegal immigration
