Are You In Favor Of Free Speech In Canada? Then You Must Be A Swastika Carrying Nazi

By William Teach August 17, 2017 – 8:18 am

The so-called anti-Fascist forces here in the U.S., otherwise known as Antifa, likewise like to shut down free speech, often with violence, and usually with threats of violence

(Daily Caller) Ryerson University canceled a panel Wednesday dedicated to discussing the silencing of free speech on college campuses, citing “campus safety.”

The Canadian school canceled “The Stifling of Free Speech on University Campuses,” an Aug. 22 panel featuring three doctors and a pro-free speech journalist, citing a prioritization of “campus safety” over free speech “in light of recent events,” according to correspondence obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Social justice activists set up a Facebook page entitled “No Fascists in Our City!” to protest the event. The page’s header image depicted a swastika crossed out.

Got that? If you want free speech, then you’re Hitler.

“[Progressive activists] were calling me a Nazi, a fascist, and an anti-Semite,” Dr. Gad Saad, a Concordia University marketing professor and one of the panelists, told TheDCNF. “I’m Jewish. So, they’ve lost the plot. It’s a form of lunacy that’s difficult to diagnose.”

The organizer is named Sarina Singh, not a name typically associated with Nazis.

Saad noted that people who express incorrect opinions get beheaded in the Middle East. He said that while the West was not yet at that stage, activists could “do the next best thing” and go after a speaker’s livelihood, reputation, and platform to speak. He suggested that “cowardice is the eighth deadly sin,” and that universities did not possess the “effort, courage, and testicular fortitude” to stand up to those trying to silence speech.

“You never pacify thuggery. You don’t pacify someone who’s trying to rape you. These people are intellectual terrorists. They’re rapists of truth,” Saad added.

Yes, they are. What was this really about?

“Fascists are planning to meet on August 22nd at Ryerson University to discuss how to avoid what they call ‘SJW’ Culture,” the protest description reads. “Tickets are being sold for $20 and frankly it makes us virulently ill … Considering the rise of Nationalism here and abroad we need to show these people and their guests that we will not tolerate their backward nonsense in our city.”

In other words, the so-called anti-Fascists were using fascist methods to shut down a conference on free speech that shows how people can use free speech to avoid being destroyed by Social Justice Warriors. They should probably read Vox Day’s SJWs Always Lie. It explains how to deal with these SJW Antifa free speech haters, but, of course, the school has fallen into the trap of the violence exclusion, whereby they shut down free speech due to threats of violence.

“Apparently supporting freedom of speech makes you a Nazi these days,” Saad told TheDCNF. “I think our existence is now hate speech … that I exist as an independent person who spews his thoughts freely is an affront to those who wish to control me … Orwell couldn’t have come up with the realities that we’re facing today.”

Well, if you have what is considered Wrongthink by the political Left, which is really just as authoritarian as Nazis and other fascists, they’ll do all they can to shut you down.

Good News: We’re Soon Doomed From “Super Heat Waves”

By William Teach August 16, 2017 – 5:35 pm

The latest in doom and gloom from the Cult of Climastrology

New study: ‘Super heat waves’ of 131°F coming if global warming continues unchecked

In Europe, the recent heat wave was so extreme — with temperatures reaching 111°F (44°C), fueling wildfires and wasp attacks — it was nicknamed “Lucifer.” In the Middle East, as temperatures soared to 121°F (50°C), “birds in Kuwait have reportedly been dropping from the sky,” the International Business Times reported Friday.

The fires were caused by Mankind starting them, not by too much carbon pollution. It gets hot in the Middle East. Heat waves have always happened, even in the midst of Holocene cool periods. Surprise!

But, new research says, we ain’t seen nothing yet. A new study by the Joint Research Centre (JRC), the European Union’s science and research lab, finds that “if global temperatures rise with 4°C [7°F], a new super heat wave of 55°C [131°F] can hit regularly many parts of the world, including Europe” and the United States.

So, if we go by the models, which have failed 95% of the time, things will get super bad. This is followed by continued doomsaying, leading to

Staying below 2°C rise requires all nations of the world, including ours, to not merely achieve our emissions reduction pledges made in Paris in December 2015, but to keep strengthening those reductions every few years until total global emissions are zero sometime in the second half of the century. And that can’t happen as long as Donald Trump — or any comparable global warming denier — is in office.

What does this mean? More government, taxation, fees, limited freedom, higher cost of living. Why do Warmists think none of these things will harm their own lives?

Trump To Roll Back Yet Another Obama ‘Climate Change’ Rule

By William Teach August 16, 2017 – 11:31 am

They keep falling like dominoes

(Daily Caller) President Donald Trump will rescind an Obama administration policy requiring government agencies to take into account global warming-induced flooding and sea level rise for federally-funded projects.

Trump will repeat the climate order that President Barack Obama signed in 2015 as part of a broader effort to streamline infrastructure permitting. Administration officials said the current process is long and cumbersome.

“For far too long, critical projects have been delayed by duplicative permitting and environmental requirements which added time and unnecessary expenses to much needed projects,” Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said in a statement obtained by Bloomberg.

Trump wants to push a $200 billion infrastructure spending bill through Congress this fall, which he hopes will mobilize $800 billion in state and private funding. A cumbersome permitting process could hold up infrastructure projects.

Furthermore, Obama’s executive order to “improve the resilience of communities and federal assets against the impacts of flooding” could increase the upfront costs or even eliminate projects in the pipeline.

The destruction of Obama’s Hotcoldwetdry rules are coming slowly, but they are coming. They are typically burdensome, costly, create more red tape, can stop projects, and give the federal government more and more power. And, yet, the people who push Hotcoldwetdry rules, such as Obama, are massive climate hypocrites in their own lives.

On Illegal Immigration, California Decides They Really Like The 10th Amendment

By William Teach August 16, 2017 – 8:01 am

If you remember back to the debate over Arizona’s SB1070, a law that allowed law enforcement to enforce federal law as written, California, California law makers, and California papers took the stance that immigration was the purview of the federal government, and that states couldn’t change that in the least. Today, though, as we discuss illegal aliens, California wants to do its own thing

State makes its case against immigration conditions attached to U.S. grants

By requiring San Francisco and other California communities to allow federal immigration agents into their jails and give them 48 hours’ notice of certain immigrants’ release from custody, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is defying Congress, the Constitution and the standards of good law enforcement, California’s top attorney says.

A lawsuit by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, filed in federal court late Monday, contains some of the same legal arguments that San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera presented in a suit against Sessions on Friday: that the Trump administration is illegally restricting Justice Department financial grants by attaching immigration conditions that Congress never authorized and that are unrelated to the purpose of the grants.

Interestingly, there were no complaints when Obama threatened to do things like restrict funding from school districts that didn’t allow the gender confused to use whichever bathroom, shower, and changing room they wanted.

The state’s suit, with $28.3 million at stake in federal grants to local governments and Becerra’s office for the next fiscal year, argues further that California is constitutionally entitled to decide how to keep its communities safe by setting its own rules for contacts between law enforcement authorities and local residents, regardless of their immigration status.

Oh, so, suddenly the 10th Amendment is important to them? And they’re claiming that immigration is now a state issue? These people.

Can anyone explain what is so difficult about picking up a phone for a quick call or sending an email to ICE to let them know an illegal alien who is in jail is going to be released within 48 hours? And what’s so difficult about honoring an ICE detainer for 48 hours? Or allowing federal immigration officials access to the jails? These people are, get this, in jail for committing a crime.

The Trump administration is trying to “usurp the state and its (local governments’) discretion to determine how best to protect public safety,” Becerra’s lawyers said. Specifically, they said, the new federal rules will interfere with state laws that “strengthen community policing efforts by encouraging undocumented victims to report crimes to local law enforcement.”

Were opponents of SB1070, and all other laws passed by states that require things such as law enforcement cooperation, not just claiming that immigration is a function of the federal government, and not the states? Yes, yes they were. California is looking to have it both ways, and, more importantly, to weaken the law on those who are unlawfully present in the U.S.

Leftists Very Upset That Trump Also Mentions Violence From “Alt-Left”

By William Teach August 16, 2017 – 7:39 am

For the longest time, Conservatives have been hoping for elected Republicans that fight back against Democrats and the media. Trump is certainly not a Conservative, but, he was elected under the Republican tag, and, like him or loathe him, he fights back (full comments here)

(Fox News) President Trump, responding to criticism that he failed to condemn white supremacist groups forcefully enough after the Charlottesville, Va., protest violence, on Tuesday called out “alt-left” protesters for their actions that same day, asking, “Do they have any semblance of guilt?”

The defiant statements came during a wide-ranging Q&A at Trump Tower in New York. And they instantly inflamed the controversy all over again, a day after he tried to put the issue to rest with a statement specifically condemning white supremacists.

“There’s blame on both sides,” Trump said Tuesday, echoing the language he had used Saturday when he faulted “many sides.”

Trump went on to criticize the “alt-left” for their role in stoking unrest over the weekend.

“You had a group on one side that was bad, and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent, and nobody wants to say that,” Trump said. “You had a group on the other side that came charging in without a permit and they were very, very violent.”

He’s exactly correct. Antifa and other leftist groups didn’t come to Charlottesville to counter-protest peaceably: you do not wear masks nor bring clubs, bats, and other dangerous weapons if you’re looking to be peaceful. We’ve seen the same thing at plenty of Antifa demonstrations and at ones where they show up. And they’re usually the ones that start the violence and mayhem. They are despicable people, who use anti-white and anti-cop language, who are just as bigoted and racist as the neo-Nazis, skinheads, and KKK.

None of that means that the KKK, neo-Nazis, nor skinheads are to be absolved. They are also despicable people. They do share an utter loathing of Jews with Antifa and Democrats, but, regardless, their racial beliefs are horrible. There’s more than plenty of blame to go around.

Of course, some Republicans, such as Marco Rubio and GOP Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, had hissy fits, as mentioned in the story. Democrats too had fits, but, those are expected. So many like Rubio, Ros-Lehtinen, Pelosi, the Politico, and so forth, think it’s about “redirecting blame.” No, it’s about assigning blame. If al Qaeda and ISIS get in a war of words, which then escalates to violence, who’s at fault? That’s right, both.

The NY Times editorial board likewise is incensed that President Trump would note the violence from the “alt-left”. They call it a false equivalency. In other words, Trump is exactly correct. The Washington Post states that there may be a time for this debate, but, it’s not now. Why not? We’ve seen the violence from Antifa since the election, and different violence from Leftists for a long time.

When is the best time to discuss left side violence? We’re happy to discuss the moral degradation of neo-Nazis, skinheads, and the KKK (say, when will Robert “KKK” Byrd’s name be removed from all those things in West Virginia?). Let talk about the Left’s moral degradation at the same time.

LA Schools Are Totally Supportive Of Students Who Are Unlawfully Present And Taking Money From Citizens

By William Teach August 15, 2017 – 3:20 pm

Obviously, they’re all playing fast and loose with the term “immigrant”

As LA students head back to school, LAUSD has message for immigrants: ‘We stand together’

The Los Angeles Unified School District is making visible what it’s so far said in words: that immigrant students and their families are welcome at Los Angeles schools.

When students start the new school year today, they’ll walk through entrances decked with 6-foot-tall banners featuring the Statue of Liberty, long the symbol of new opportunity for immigrants. The banners will read “We Are One L.A. Unified/Standing With Immigrant Families,” and Lady Liberty will be wearing a graduation cap, a nod to the district’s goal of having every student graduate.

Superintendent Michelle King previewed the We Are One effort for “immigrant students and others who feel marginalized,” with a brief mention in her annual State of the District speech last week.

“This campaign provides resources and toolkits as well as promotes messages of inclusion to make clear that at L.A. Unified, we stand together as one unified family,” she said.

Awwwww, that’s so cute. I’m betting Michelle King would be calling the police in a heartbeat if she came home a family of illegals were squatting in her backyard. It’s called “trespassing.”

The district has made its position clear regarding immigration, sometimes in direct opposition to federal policy. In May, school board members passed a resolution reiterating an earlier commitment that any LAUSD campus is a “safe place” for immigrants and their families. They added other pledges, too, such as allowing school employees to refuse cooperation with immigration agents and offering immigrants referrals to legal help.

There are a lot of people who would like to feel safe. Like 7 year olds

An illegal immigrant who returned to the country after being deported to Mexico is accused of raping a 7-year-old girl “thousands of times.”

Victor Francisco Michel-Lara, 32, of Cedar City, Utah was arrested Sunday and faces first-degree felony charges of rape of a child, according to his arrest report. He was also placed on an immigration detainer.

When you support illegal immigration, you support people like Michel-Lara. Liberals are making the case that if you do not immediately and completely denounce all neo-Nazi’s, KKK members, and skinheads vocally and vehemently, then you are part of the problem and enabling them, so, if you do not denounce all illegal aliens, you are part of the problem and enabling them.

That said, if California loves illegals, they should all go to California. Let the state deal with the fallout.

The Case For Hotcoldwetdry Grows Stronger Or Something

By William Teach August 15, 2017 – 10:30 am

The editorial board of the USA Today, which kills vast amounts of trees and and uses lots of fossil fuels to make and distribute their newspaper, is super enthused

Case for climate change grows ever stronger

Could proof grow any more powerful that humanity is responsible for a dangerously warming planet? Scientists studying Earth’s atmosphere and oceans are finding ever more troubling evidence.

Last year was the hottest on record, according to a report late last week from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The report, by more than 450 scientists from 60 nations, also found that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and global sea levels are at their highest levels on record.

Just as troubling were draft findings destined for the quadrennial National Climate Assessment. Scientists from 13 federal agencies found that a rapid rise in temperatures since the 1980s in the United States represents the warmest period in 1,500 years.

The impacts from human-caused warming are no distant threat, the scientists concluded, but are punishing populations right now with weather made worse by climate change: more heat and drought in the American Southwest, larger and fiercer storms along the Pacific, and greater rainfall elsewhere.

At the end of the day, none of this shows actual scientific proof that climatic changes during the Modern Warm Period are mostly/solely caused by Mankind. Correlation is not causation. Worse weather? Than what? Can they prove that it was worse than in the past? Can they prove that it is abnormal? Can they prove that it wouldn’t happen this way absent a rise in CO2? If CO2 was under their vaunted 350ppm, would hurricanes, drought, floods, and tornadoes, among others, be different?Why were the previous warm periods warmer than today despite lower CO2 levels?

This is typical fear monger and pushing “consensus”, which isn’t science. But, then, this whole thing is not about science.

Meanwhile, via Moonbattery, we have the the top 12 climate lies debunked

Doom Averted: North Korea Backs Down On Firing Missiles At Guam

By William Teach August 15, 2017 – 7:16 am

Remember the apocalyptic (non-secular, of course) talking points from most left wing news outlets, pundits, Congress critters, etc, about how Trump’s tough talking was taking us to nuclear war? Some others in the Trump admin, such as James “Mad Dog” Mattis had tough words, too. Guess what?

Kim Jong Un Backs Down In Nuclear Showdown With Trump

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un decided Tuesday not to fire ballistic missiles at Guam, reserving the right to change his mind if “the Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions,” according to North Korean state media.

Kim appears to be attempting to de-escalate tensions to prevent conflict between the U.S. and North Korea. After the U.N. Security Council approved tougher sanctions against North Korea for its intercontinental ballistic missile tests, the North warned Wednesday that it was considering launching a salvo of ballistic missiles into waters around Guam in a show of force demonstrating an ability to surround the island with “enveloping fire.” That same day, President Donald Trump stressed that North Korean threats will be met with “fire and fury like nothing the world has ever seen.” For a week, the two sides hurled threats and warnings at each other repeatedly, leading some observers to conclude that the two sides were close to nuclear war.

But, Kim blinked.

Kim, according to North Korean state media, told the North Korean strategic rocket force that he “would watch a little more the foolish and stupid conduct of the Yankees,” giving the U.S. time to reassess the situation. “He said that he wants to advise the U.S. to take into full account gains and losses with clear head whether the prevailing situation is more unfavorable for any party.”

In other words, beyond the bluster and faux-criticism of Trump, his admin, and America, Kim backed down. He has surely realized that his bluster is a losing cause. It will only gain more sanctions, and Team Trump aren’t falling for his bluster, which is usually a means to gain material things from America and the West. It’s the pattern for North Korea, regardless of the leader. Threats, bluster, and the West gives them things.

Not this time. Not with a president who stayed strong.

I’m waiting for those who criticized Trump’s harsh stance to apologize. I won’t hold my breathe, though. They can never admit they were wrong. Certainly, Trump putting pressure on China over North Korea didn’t start a trade war, either. How much China was involved in getting Kim to back down is unknown at this time. But, I’ll say it again. Love, like, or loathe Trump, don’t ever make the mistake of thinking he doesn’t have a plan on big issues like this and is just winging it. This guy certainly has SMART plans for tons of things, just like the Pentagon has plans to invade Canada.
