Goracle: “I Don’t Have A Private Jet”

By William Teach June 6, 2017 – 10:30 am

And he lives as much of a carbon free lifestyle as he can, you guys! During an interview with Jake Tapper, Tapper was good enough to give Al Gore a chance to bloviate (video at the link)

(Real Clear Politics) TAPPER: President Trump has gone after you directly when talking about this issue of climate change.

I want you to — I want to give you an opportunity to respond to something he said…

TRUMP: Al Gore wants to eliminate the combustion engine, essentially, and flies around the world on jets and pushes plans that would help create China, make it stronger…

TAPPER: This is a criticism we hear from conservatives all the time when talking about people like you or Elon Musk or Leonardo DiCaprio, that you, yourself, have a large carbon footprint.

GORE: Yes.

Well, I don’t have a private jet. And what carbon emissions come from my trips on Southwest Airlines are offset. I live a carbon-free lifestyle, to the maximum extent possible.

Notice the weasel language. He doesn’t have a private jet. So, he doesn’t own one. Sure. But, he takes them a lot

Al has been caught numerous times flying on private jets. And, yes, he does sometimes fly commercial (it’s still fossil fueled), but has admitted he also takes private jets.

(Watts Up With That?) Al Gore’s carbon footprint has been a running joke for years – his eye watering home electricity bill, his beachfront mansion, his willingness to fly long distances, to lecture the rest of us about the environmental dangers of flying, the way he made a vast personal profit by selling his TV station to oil interests. You have to almost admire Al Gore’s apparent enthusiasm, for trampling the environmental sensibilities of his green admirers.

Owning multiple homes with lots of bathrooms and pools isn’t exactly living the “green” life. Instead of driving the speed limit, Gore just pays speeding tickets in the form of carbon offsets, which most likely link back to the companies he owns, invests in, and sits on the boards, so, some of that money comes back to him. Instead of practicing what he preaches. And, he’s made himself very rich pushing the climate scam BS.

Ontario Makes Disapproval Of Children’s Gender Confusion Child Abuse

By William Teach June 6, 2017 – 7:01 am

Isn’t it awesome that a government has decided to side with a tiny, tiny, tiny percentage of people who are, for the most part, mentally ill?

(Daily Caller) Ontario passed a law Thursday that gives the government the right to take away children from families that don’t accept their kid’s chosen “gender identity.”

Parents who oppose or criticize the LGBT agenda will be considered potential “child abusers” and may have their children taken away by the state, according to the new bill. If the parents are ruled to be abusers by failing to wholeheartedly support their child’s gender choice, that child “can be removed from that environment and placed into protection where the abuse stops.”

Bill 89, also known as “The Supporting Children, Youth and Families Act of 2017,” received Royal Assent and was passed in Ontario by a vote of 63 to 23.

The old law allowed parents to “direct the child’s education and religious upbringing” but now says a parent must influence a child’s education and upbringing “in accordance with the child’s or young person’s creed, community identity and cultural identity.”

Why are they doing this? They’re nuts. The law could even stop people from fostering and/or adopting kids if they disagree with the LGBTQ agenda

Of course, let’s never forget that these unhinged radical leftists will gladly throw the same LGBTQ folks, along with women, under the bus in order to patronize and protect Islamic extremists.

American Lens goes on to note (using an article from Gender Trender) that Canada is looking to legalize gender confusion nationally with Bill C-16, which “would establish a government recognized class of people based on their personal feeling that sex stereotypes form an integral and desired component of their legal identity.” This would be a part of the criminal code, so, it should turn out great, right?

Perhaps it is time to stop tolerating this insanity and ruining kids’ lives by allowing them to perpetuate fantasies that they’re the other sex, which is encouraged by insane leftists with political agendas.

Federal Judge Is “Humiliated” For Having To Actually Uphold Immigration Law

By William Teach June 6, 2017 – 6:41 am

It must be a total bummer having to uphold the laws. There is a solution. Quit

(Breitbart) Judges are humiliated and dehumanized whenever they must enforce the nation’s immigration laws, according to a senior judge on the far-left Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The judge’s cry of outrage came when he could not block the orderly repatriation of an illegal immigrant who has two drunk driving convictions, plus a U.S. wife and three children.

“We are unable to prevent [Andres] Magana Ortiz’s removal, yet it is contrary to the values of this nation and its legal system,” complained Judge Stephen Reinhardt, who wishes to extend citizens’ rights to illegal foreign migrants. He said:

We are compelled to deny Mr. Magana Ortiz’s request for a stay of removal because we do not have the authority to grant it. We are not, however, compelled to find the government’s action in this case fair or just. …

The government’s decision to remove Magana Ortiz diminishes not only our country but our courts, which are supposedly dedicated to the pursuit of justice. Magana Ortiz and his family are in truth not the only victims. Among the others are judges who, forced to participate in such inhumane acts, suffer a loss of dignity and humanity as well. I concur as a judge, but as a citizen I do not.

If Judge Reinhardt is so upset by having to enforce federal immigration law, he can resign. The federal government is specifically tasked with protecting the nation from foreign invasion, which includes those who come to this country illegally as well as overstay their visas. The majority of countries in the world, including Mexico, refuse to tolerate those who are unlawfully present, and many, including Mexico, have harsher penalties.

One might not think drunk driving is a serious offense, however, doing such puts many other people at risk, not just yourself. Hence the reason we are treated to a constant litany of television, radio, and other medium ad placements on the subject. Hence why police often run large projects going after drunk drivers (they run what’s called Operation Eagle across the state of North Carolina at least once per year to crack down). It’s quite fair and just to remove someone who is unlawfully present in the U.S. who has multiple drunk driving convictions on their record.

Apparently, the judge is more worried about his squishy, misplaced feelings than in providing the lawful protection to United States citizens and legally allowed guests.

Great Legislative Ideas To Fight Hotcoldwetdry We Can All Agree On

By William Teach June 5, 2017 – 4:34 pm

Glenn Reynolds, of Instapundit fame, who’s fond of writing “I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people who tell me it’s a crisis act like it’s a crisis”, offers up an interesting opinion piece at the USA Today

To fight climate change, start with Leonardo DiCaprio’s private jet lifestyle
Even though Donald Trump withdrew from the Paris climate agreement, there’s plenty Congress can do.

It starts off by noting the hypocrisy of the Warmists, which is worth the read, and gets to legislative offerings

First, we need to tax the “blue zones.” That is, we need to impose steep taxes on property in coastal areas that will be flooded by the sea-level increases that global warming is supposed to bring. By discouraging people from living or building there now, we’ll save ourselves from big problems in the future. Sure it’ll drive down property values, but those values should go down — they’re values for property that’s going to be flooded anyway, remember?

Second, we need to ban taxpayer-funded air travel to conferences. State legislatures could ban reimbursement for travel outside their states; Congress could require that no federal grant money be spent on air travel to conferences and similar events. A lot of academic conferences would fail, but that’s a small price to pay for saving the planet.  And besides, it will encourage the development of Internet-based conference alternatives. A whole new industry might result: Green jobs!

Third, we need to ban private jet travel. At first I thought about just taxing it heavily, but with the planet at stake, that might not be enough. It’s nice that John Travolta can have his own Boeing 707, or that Leonardo DiCaprio can jet around the world speaking against climate change, but the carbon emissions involved set a bad example that outweighs anything he might say. So no more private jets. Bigshots will just have to fly commercial like everyone else, the way they did in the 1950s. (And sorry, Leo, but massive yachts have to go, too). Politicians, too, should have to fly commercial. No more government-funded “executive jets” for them.

He also offers a fourth suggestion, a 25% tax on homes that are twice the size of the average American home. These are all common sense reforms, for which Republican lawmakers in Congress should submit legislation. It would be hilarious when the Democrats object to these solutions to fight ‘climate change.’ They could call it the “Practice What You Preach Act Of 2017.” And I’m sure there are plenty of other things they could institute that would essentially affect mostly just the Warmists.

Senator Mark Warner (D): Nope, No Evidence Of Collusion

By William Teach June 5, 2017 – 10:30 am

So, um, what, exactly, is being investigated at this point?

(CNS News) Jake Tapper, host of CNN’s “State of the Union,” asked Warner: “One of the big questions, of course, is, is there any evidence of collusion that you have seen yet? Is there?”

Warner (D-Va.) responded:

Listen, there’s a lot of smoke. We have no smoking gun at this point. But there is a lot of smoke.

And, again, one of the questions we will have, not only for Director Comey on Thursday, but on Wednesday for Director of National Intelligence (Dan) Coats and NSA, National Security — NSA Director Admiral (Michael) Rogers, I’m going to want to ask them, because there have been reports that the president also talked to both of them in terms of asking them to downplay the Russian investigation.

That would be very concerning to me.

This is reminding me of the Valerie Plame affair. The special prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, already knew who leaked initially: Richard Armitage, by accident. And knew it early. Yet, Fitzgerald kept investigating and investigating, eventually getting Scooter Libby for silly stuff. In this case, the Dems keep investigating and investigating and investigating, but, there is nothing there. No proof. Just unsubstantiated feelings, and massive butthurt from losing the election to Donald Trump.

After all these months, all they have is “smoke.”

Al Gore Confronted By Chris Wallace Over Failed Climate Change Prognostications

By William Teach June 5, 2017 – 7:53 am

Al and his giant carbon footprint didn’t really have an answer

(Daily Caller) “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace confronted former Vice President Al Gore on his 2006 claim that unless drastic action was taken humanity would face a “true planetary emergency” in the next decade.

“Unless we take drastic measures the world would reach a point of no return within 10 years,” which Gore said would precipitate a “true planetary crisis” due to man-made global warming.

Wallace pointed out it’s been 11 years since Gore made the claim in his 2006 film “An Inconvenient Truth,” and there doesn’t seem to be a planetary emergency.

So did Gore admit he was wrong? Of course not!

The movie itself is a mess of politics with sketchy science, with 35 errors. Gore responded

Well we have seen a decline in emissions on a global basis. For the first time they’ve stabilized and started to decline. So some of the responses for the last 10 years have helped, but unfortunately and regrettably a lot of serious damage has been done.

Greenland, for example, has been losing one cubic kilometer of ice every single day. I went down to Miami and saw fish from the ocean swimming in the streets on a sunny day. The same thing was true in Honolulu just two days ago, just from high tides because of the sea level rise now.

We are going to suffer some of these consequences, but we can limit and avoid the most catastrophic if we accelerate the pace of change that’s now beginning.

Wallace should have challenged Gore to provide physical proof of the fish swimming in the streets thing (is there any point in explaining king tides and areas that are close to sea level to start with to Warmists? Na). Surely Gore or one of his posse would have had a smartphone with a camera to document that, right? The film is alarmingly inaccurate after 10 years. But, inaccuracies are irrelevant to the Cult of Climastrology, because this isn’t about science, but politics.

Oh, and money. Gore has made himself very rich pushing his #ClimateScamBS, and would have become even richer had Trump stayed in the Paris Climate agreement. Speaking of that, here’s one graphic that puts it in perspective

It’s all about the money. The UN and other countries do not care about America’s “carbon emissions”, they care about redistributing our money.

One Of London Bridge Jihadis Had Been Reported To Police Twice

By William Teach June 5, 2017 – 7:22 am

So far, the British authorities have refused to release the names of the Islamic jihadis, as they have plenty more raids and arrests to conduct, but that might change today. Here’s something we do know about one of the jihadis

London terrorist had twice been referred to police over his extremist views

One of the three jihadists who murdered revellers in central London on Saturday had been reported to the anti-terror police on at least two occasions, it has been claimed.

A former friend of the terrorist, who was shot dead by police along with two accomplices, claimed he had been radicalised while watching YouTube videos and said he contacted the authorities ­after becoming concerned over his friend’s extremist views.

A neighbour also claimed she had contacted police in Barking, east London, after the suspect tried to convert her children to Islam and radicalise them. The man is not being named at the request of the police.

The former friend claimed he contacted police after comments the man made about other previous attacks. But he said the authorities had failed to act and take action despite evidence of increasingly extremist views.

The jihadi spent lots of time watching Youtube videos of Islamist radical Ahmad Musa Jibril, who the UK Telegraph refers to as a “hate preacher”, rather than an extremist cleric. I guess they have a limit on how much they can discuss radical Islam.

The jihadi linked to the London Bridge attack is 3rd from the left, between the two jihadis in white.

Yet, the British authorities did nothing. The UK Daily Mail, always a bit more sensational, covers the same story

The security services face difficult questions today over how at least one of the London Bridge terrorists slipped through the intelligence net despite being reported to the police at least twice for his extremism.

The 27-year-old Muslim, known to friends as ‘Abz’, appeared in a TV documentary last year about British jihadists – and was involved in a filmed altercation with police after an ISIS-style flag was unfurled in Regent’s Park, London.

He was caught on camera alongside two notorious preachers who were well known to police and intelligence officials because of their extremist views.

A friend of the suspect had reported him to the anti-terror hotline after he became radicalised by watching extremist videos on YouTube and police were also warned about the suspect radicalising children in a local park two years ago, giving them sweets and money.

Why was nothing done? Neither article really speculates. Could it be the aversion to anyone putting themselves out there which would cause them to be accused of “Islamophobia”, leading to the investigator to be investigated and sanctioned, perhaps fired? There’s a disturbing tolerance for radical Islam in Britain, which has led to such incidents as the Rotherham child rape issue, and known radical jihadis being ignored. Authorities are almost afraid to do anything, lest they be accused and have the government come down on them.

(Fox News) While such reviews remain in preliminary stages, a British intelligence source told Fox News that it is an “all hands at the pump” approach, with Joint Intelligence Operations to be carried out collaboratively with M15, Scotland Yard and the Army’s Special Air Service (SAS) all involved.

The points of focus include: recruiting and deploying even more counterterrorism officers, and pushing through new laws to “round up” suspected terrorists and, if convicted, stripping them of their citizenship as a deterrent.

“There is also early talk that things could go as far as banning the burka,” the source said.

How about just not letting them in to start?

CNN Creates Fake Anti-ISIS Protest

By William Teach June 4, 2017 – 9:18 pm

If you’ve ever read The Last Centurion by John Ringo, you’d think this type of thing would stay in fiction. Of course, Ringo was basing his book on reality, and what happens, like this

(Powerline) Mark Antro observed CNN staging a protest by Muslims against ISIS and terrorism, and filmed it. As you watch the video, you can see that this is not a bona fide demonstration that CNN observed and reported on. Rather, the entire event–one could say, the pitifully small event–is being stage-directed by CNN for its cameras, to advance CNN’s narrative. In this case, the story CNN wants to promote is that most Muslims reject extremism. That might be true, but if so, it would be nice to see more than 15 or 20 people participating in a faked event.

As noted, once the filming was done, the “protesters” immediately dispersed. Powerline also shows that the AP ran with the fake protest. CNN’s Brian Stelter is trying to defend the video. It’s not working.

The BBC ran with the “protest”, as well. 20 years ago, the media would have been able to get away with this.

Let’s consider, if it was Fox News manufacturing a protest, or the Daily Caller, Breitbart, etc, can you imagine the coverage that would be given by the major news media calling them out? So far, the rest of the media is saying nothing.
