Evil White Supremacists Call Their Oreo Cupcakes “Mr. President”

By William Teach October 14, 2016 – 11:02 am

Horrible, evil racist people!!!!!!!

(Yahoo)  The owner of a Portland bakery that has been accused of racism because it offers an Oreo cupcake it calls “Mr. President” says the commotion is based on a misunderstanding that has spiraled out of control.

Anjelica Hayes, who is biracial, opened Fat Cupcake two years ago in Oregon City and named her new Oreo-based pastry “Mr. President” soon after. After the store opened a second location in southeast Portland last month, a Yelp reviewer accused Hayes of racism.

“Very troubling. They were serving a cupcake called the ‘Mr. President’ that had an Oreo cookie inside. When I tried to point out the racism implied, they claimed that ‘our current president loves Oreos,’” the commenter wrote.

The story was picked up by the Oregonian newspaper on Monday and went viral by Wednesday — much to Hayes’ surprise.

Normally, I would post a photo of this evil white woman, but, with Photobucket going evil today, you’ll have to see her. With her Black father. Yeah, I’m sure you caught the part about “biracial”. It’s a white cupcake covered in cookies and cream frosting, with an Oreo cookie baked in the middle, and naming it Mr. President was meant to be a compliment.

Obviously, this is all based on pretty much one Special Snowflake having a hissy fit, and, once the story went viral, other Special Snowflakes went Special Snowflake level 10. These people need hobbies. Seriously, it’s a cupcake.

*I fully expect liberals to have a tizzy over this.

Exxon Will Get To Question Climate Change Witch Hunt

By William Teach October 14, 2016 – 7:19 am

It’s actually rather shocking that a legal order was needed which allows Exxon to defend itself

(ABC News) A federal judge has opened the way for Exxon Mobil Corp. to seek documents and question witnesses who may help the Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey investigate whether the company hid what it knew about climate change.

U.S. District Court Judge Ed Kinkeade in Dallas said Thursday that critical comments Healey made at a news conference raised the possibility that she acted in “bad faith” by issuing a subpoena against the company.

Healey and New York’s attorney general have accused Exxon of committing securities fraud by misleading investors and the public about what the company knew about the link between burning fossil fuels and climate change.

The whole thing is a politically motivated witch hunt, working in collusion with private interest groups.

(Washington Examiner) The judge wants Healey to fork over documents that would help him understand the basis for her investigation. Opponents of the probe say the federal court could unravel the Democrats’ efforts by revealing what emails and other documents obtained by Freedom of Information Act requests have shown — that the investigation is based on specious facts and is driven by politics, not policy, the law or science.

“We know from FOIA’d emails that the AGs in Schneiderman’s climate coalition tried to hide behind a Common Interest Agreement, which would keep their correspondence on the Exxon investigations secret,” according to a blog posted by the oil industry-backed group Energy In Depth. “But sunlight is the best disinfectant, they say, and that is exactly what taxpayers will get [as] a result of today’s action.”

Everything that Healey turns over to the judge will be available for Exxon to see, as the legal system says. Healey and the others involved have been hiding information from the defendant, Exxon, in clear violation of the Constitution. Expect her to fight tooth and nail to not comply with the legal order, because, as we all know, Democrats hate transparency and acting in a lawful manner.

U Of Florida Offers Counseling To Special Snowflakes Upset Over Halloween Costumes

By William Teach October 14, 2016 – 6:48 am

How will these people survive when it’s time to graduate and enter the real world?

(Fox News) The University of Florida is offering counseling to anyone who gets offended by any costumes worn this coming Halloween.

The school wrote in a blog post Monday urging students to “think about your choices of costumes and themes.”

“Some Halloween costumes reinforce stereotypes of particular races, genders, cultures, or religions. Regardless of intent, these costumes can perpetuate negative stereotypes, causing harm and offense to groups of people. Also, keep in mind that social media posts can have a long-term impact on your personal and professional reputation,” the post read.

The school reminded students that anyone who is offended or troubled by an incident or a costume, they could seek counseling at the wellness center or alert the school’s Bias Education Response Team which provides support to those who were impacted.

Of course, these precious little Special Snowflakes become offended by pretty much anything, so the counselors and Wrongthink, er, Bias Education Response Team (which is there to nag those accused of wearing the wrong costume), will surely be busy for days, if not weeks, after Halloween. And then they’ll demand, or, is that DEMAND?, that the University ban certain costumes, or, better yet, ban the celebration of Halloween. They’ll be weepy eyed protests and angry pieces written.

And then they’ll reflect on their glory days of protests and spreading awareness as they ask you what type of coffee you’d like as they think about all their student loan debt before heading back to their parent’s house because real employers have all taken a pass, due to the threat of histrionics and lawsuits from these little nutballs.

Good News: Climate Deal Could Keep A/C From Developing India

By William Teach October 13, 2016 – 4:52 pm

I’m still waiting for all the Cult of Climastrology members to give up their own air conditioning. Instead, they want to deny Other People the same modern lifestyle developments that make their own lives nice

Emerging Climate Accord Could Push A/C Out of Sweltering India’s Reach

A thrill goes down Lane 12, C Block, Kamalpur every time another working-class family brings home its first air-conditioner. Switched on for a few hours, usually to cool a room where the whole family sleeps, it transforms life in this suffocating concrete labyrinth where the heat reached 117 degrees in May.

“You wake up totally fresh,” exulted Kaushilya Devi, a housewife, whose husband bought a unit in May. “I wouldn’t say we are middle class,” she said. “But we are closer.”

But 3,700 miles away, in Kigali, Rwanda, negotiators from more than 170 countries gathered this week to complete an accord that would phase out the use of heat-trapping hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs, worldwide, and with them the cheapest air-conditioners that are just coming within reach of people like Ms. Devi. Millions of Indians might mark the transition from poverty with the purchase of their first air-conditioner, but as those purchases ease suffering in one of the planet’s hottest countries, they are contributing profoundly to the heating of the planet.

Let’s be honest: HFC’s are a greenhouse gas that should be concerning, being around 1,000 more powerful than CO2, and doesn’t seem to have a doubling effect. It would be worthwhile to replace it. The problem here is that any alternatives right now are much, much more expensive, so, people in developing nations won’t be able to afford this like air conditioners. And refrigerators. And anything that uses HFCs.

The replacements are more toxic and flammable. How about that?

But the deal, which could be completed this weekend, could have as much or more of an effect on climate change. Unlike the Paris accord, the emerging Kigali agreement will have the force of international law, a legal requirement that rich countries give poor countries money to help them comply, and trade and economic sanctions against countries that do not.

Screwing poor people by force of international law. Good job, Warmists. Now give up your own use of any device that uses HFCs.

Climate Skeptics File Civil Suit Against Climate Alarmists Alleging Criminal Activity

By William Teach October 13, 2016 – 10:27 am

I bet the Warmists didn’t see this one coming. They’re so used to being able to get away with their nefarious schemes that they do not expect those on the right to fight back

NOW RICO TURNED AGAINST CLIMATE-CHANGE ACTIVISTS
Lawsuit charges conspiracy to hide truth, promote propaganda for financial gain

It was a year ago when a long list of scientists wrote to the Obama administration urging the federal government to use RICO, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, against global-warming skeptics.

They said in a letter addressed to President Obama, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Office of Science and Technology Policy Director John Holdren they “appreciate that you are making aggressive and imaginative use of the limited tools available to you in the face of a recalcitrant Congress.”

“One additional tool – recently proposed by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse – is a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) investigation of corporations and other organizations that have knowingly deceived the American people about the risks of climate change, as a means to forestall America’s response to climate change,” they wrote, according to Politico.

Now the tables are turned.

A mathematician and software engineer has filed a lawsuit in Texas naming dozens of environmental groups and others seeking to influence public action and expenditures regarding global warming programs in an action alleging violations of RICO.

Plaintiff Leonid Goldstein explains at the outset of his complaint, “This is a civil suit against Climate Action Network and other corporations, who engaged in a long-term criminal scheme, involving a false claim that anthropogenic release (or emissions) of carbon dioxide caused a dangerous ‘global warming’ or a dangerous ‘climate change,’ and persecution of the dissidents or demanding government actions, based on this false claim, including money transfer.

The suit was filed in US court in Texas, and includes such names as Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Ford Foundation, Greenpeace, Sierra Club, the U.S. Climate Action Network, the Global Call for Climate Action Group, Friends of Earth, Environmental Defense Fund, Earthjustice, Pew Memorial Trust, the Packard Foundation and Tides Foundation as part of what is being called Climate Action Network et all. Too bad they didn’t include people like the Democratic Attorneys general and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) who were colluding.

They’re referring to the whole thing as a “Climate Alarmism Enterprise”, kinda like a mafia.

It’s a very long article, well worth the read. You can see the suit here.

Final Presidential Debate To Feature Actual Issues

By William Teach October 13, 2016 – 8:33 am

The final debate, and Trump’s last chance unless there is a massive October/November surprise against Hillary that the media can neither ignore, downplay, nor explain away, occurs on October 19th in Nevada, which is next Wednesday. And the topics?

(LA Times) The Commission on Presidential Debates released topics on Wednesday for the third — and final — presidential debate next week.

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace will moderate the debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and has selected topics focused on debt and entitlements, immigration, the economy, the Supreme Court, foreign hot spots and the candidates’ fitness to be president.

The topics are subject to change, but, as it stands now, these would typically be Republican leaning topics. Chris Wallace will take great pains to be neutral, unlike in the previous debates where the moderators certainly were there to help out Hillary.

Immigration? This should be a bread and butter topic for Trump. He better be ready for Hillary to come after him.

Debt and entitlements? Trump better be ready to squash Hillary for her support of the crazy spending by Obama which she wants to continue, and ready for Hillary to call him mean.

The economy? Trump best be ready with some facts about how lame the economy has been under Obama, and, again, that Hillary wants to do the same.

If he’s not studying up on these topics, and just taking them for granted, she will bait him and have pre-planned answers. He best have policies he can explain. He needs to stay away from the personal attacks and focus on her failures and support of failing Obama policies. We’ll see.

How Much Is The RNC Spending On Donald Trump Ads?

By William Teach October 13, 2016 – 8:15 am

The number might shock you

(Politico) The Republican National Committee insists that it’s doing everything in its power to elect Donald Trump, but as Trump gets clobbered on the TV airwaves by his well-funded Democratic rival, the RNC has been conspicuously absent.

A POLITICO analysis of campaign finance records reveals that the committee has not spent anything on commercials boosting Trump since he emerged as the party’s likely nominee.

That’s right: $0. Nada. Zilch. The typically spend tens of millions on TV, radio, and other things like mailers. Now? Bumpkiss. Why?

RNC chief of staff Katie Walsh said that the committee is not going to spend any more money this cycle on television ad IEs, but that the decision is completely unrelated to Trump.

Rather, she said it stems from a strategic calculation made soon after the 2012 election that “that is not an efficient use of party committee dollars to spend money on television.” Pointing to a report that assessed the shortcomings of Republican efforts in the 2012 election, she said RNC leaders determined that the party’s money was better invested in data-driven voter contact operations.

Real or spin? Could it be that they just don’t feel it’s worth the bother, when the candidate himself barely bothers with TV ads? I don’t know about you, but, I rarely see an official Trump TV commercial or hear a radio ad. If I had to guess, I’ll see/hear 1 for every ten official Hillary ones. Most pro-Trump/anti-Hillary are by independent groups.

Despite the Democratic National Committee’s lack of any IE spending, Clinton and groups supporting her had outspent Trump and his allies on ads $189 million to $50 million through the end of last week, according to advertising data compiled by the firm Advertising Analytics for NBC News.

The big donors who typically hook up PACs and such aren’t reaching deep into their pockets in support of Trump.

But, really, what of the Trump campaign itself?

(Wall Street Journal) Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are spending millions to flood swing-state airwaves with campaign ads in the final weeks of the presidential election. But because Mrs. Clinton’s team typically books hers much earlier, her dollars are going further.

Mrs. Clinton paid $770 to air a 30-second spot Monday during the drama “Timeless” on Fort Myers, Fla.’s WBBH, according to Federal Communications Commission filings that were confirmed by the TV station. Mr. Trump paid about $300 more for his ad on the same show.

Trump is paying more because they are booking later, because they really don’t seem to know what they’re doing.

The article also highlights the overall discrepancy on spending. In comparison, Romney and the groups supporting him had spend $550 million in 2012. Obama and his groups spent $500 million. Hillary and the groups that support her are sitting at $325 million. Trump’s number? $78 million.

He is finally booking lots of spots, but, she had a two month head start. How much will late in the game ads make a difference? I guess we’ll see. But, the spending, or, rather, lack thereof by the RNC shows how much they’ve just washed their hands of the whole thing.

Bummer: Louisiana Isn’t Letting Illegal Aliens And Terrorists Get Married

By William Teach October 12, 2016 – 3:11 pm

Obviously, this is causing a massive case of the meanies according to the Washington Post’s Catherine Rampell

For an illustration of how cruel the country’s latest wave of nativism has grown, look to Louisiana.

Here, a little-noticed new state law has effectively made it illegal for thousands of refugees to get married.

It all started last year. Having lost the fight over gay marriage, the state’s religious right decided that the sacred institution of wedlock was once again under attack — this time, by devious immigrants. Undocumented workers and even terrorists had newly discovered they could exploit Louisiana’s marriage laws to gain citizenship, legislators claimed, leading to a supposed epidemic of “marriage fraud.”

The response? Make it more difficult for immigrants to get married, of course.

Hmm, sounds like a good idea, wiping away a loophole in the law that would allow those who shouldn’t be here in the first place, and those who have terrorist leanings, from gaining citizenship.

What Catherine whines about is that this law catches legal immigrants in a trap, because some do not have a birth certificate. OK, one. That’s right, one had an issue. That’s it. One. Who drove to Alabama to get married legally. But, could probably have asked for a waiver, based on his tenure and legal status in the country. And the fact that he probably wasn’t a threat for terrorism, being Buddhist.

But, you know, if even one is inconvenienced, well, we have to scrap all the laws, even if it makes it easy for illegals and terrorists to gain citizenship. Of course, if it’s one biological girl being inconvenienced because a gender confused boy wants in to her bathroom, shower, and changing room, well, the left has fours for her: “piss off, you hater.”
