Climate Wackos Spraypaint US Embassy After Trump Win

By William Teach November 6, 2024 – 3:00 pm

A goodly chunk of far left wankers aren’t taking Trump’s win too well, so, Warmists be any different?

The rest of the tweet reads

Political systems that can be bought by big oil have no value as we face the biggest challenge of our time.

The only real winner of today’s election is the corporate power that controls the major parties in both the US and UK. They continue to ensure the interests of the fossil fuel industry will continue to be prioritised over the wellbeing of ordinary people.

It is only through people coming together to disrupt business-as-usual that humanity will stand any chance of minimising the effects of climate breakdown, and the social collapse that follows. In Spain this week, hundreds of bodies continue to be dragged from the mud – this is just a small portent of what is to come if we don’t change course immediately.

As long as democracy is hijacked by corporate interests and billionaires, it will fail to deliver the change people are crying out for.

This will always leave the door open for fake populists like Trump to exploit the disaffection many feel. It’s time for ordinary people to step up, organise and make change happen, because it should be clear by now, no political leaders are coming to save us. Just Stop Oil.

The funny part is that everything they were wearing is made from petroleum. Oh, and that the climate cult is pushing authoritarianism. Anyhow, it was in London

(Reuters) London’s Metropolitan Police arrested two men, aged 25 and 72, on suspicion of criminal damage, the force said.

“This activity is vandalism purporting as protest and we will continue to have a zero tolerance attitude to actions such as this,” Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Valentine said in a statement.

England is not fooling with these people anymore

(Weird. Sometimes twitter embeds are working, sometimes not. Had to do it a different way)

Reuters Gives Some Election Takeaways

By William Teach November 6, 2024 – 10:30 am

I’m looking forward to all the meltdowns from the Democrat Kamala voters and Never Trumpers today. Will any of those who promised to leave the U.S. if Trump won actually leave? Very few did when Bush won in 2004 and Trump in 2016. Will there be screaming? Group screaming? Just unhinged behavior? Riots destroying Democrat run cities?

Takeaways from the US presidential election

Republican Donald Trump was on the verge of a convincing win over Democrat Kamala Harris in the U.S. presidential election, avenging his own loss to President Joe Biden four years ago.

How did Trump pull it off? He had the fortune of running when Americans were frustrated by high prices and, to a lesser extent, illegal immigration across the U.S. southern border.

Oh, suddenly the Credentialed Media noticed that Americans feel poorly about the economy.

The national exit poll of voters conducted by Edison Research underscored what public opinion surveys had long shown: Voters are in a bad mood and have been for some time.

Three-fourths of voters surveyed by Edison said the country was going in a negative direction. Of those voters, 61% went for Trump. Of the voters who called themselves “angry,” 71% backed the Republican.

Voters who said the economy was their top concern broke 79% to 20% for Trump, according the poll.

What, they didn’t think the federal government running the food sector via a “price gouging” law/executive order would work?

Voters who believe abortion should be a legal procedure in most instances surprisingly only backed Harris 51% to 47%, suggesting Trump’s efforts to blur his position may have partially negated one of her largest advantages.

Now, that’s an interesting exit poll. It suggests that abortion is not as big an issue as all the Kamala ads stated.

Perhaps most notably for Harris, the three-fourths of voters who said they felt U.S. democracy was “threatened” split their vote evenly between the two candidates.

Obviously, they didn’t think Kamala was the answer.

Though many blocs of voters were supporting the Democratic or Republican candidate in similar numbers to 2020, according to the exit polls, Trump was showing greater strength with male voters of color and with voters under 45 compared to four years ago.

Those under 45 realized that holding on to their college years Liberal leanings isn’t putting food on the table or paying the energy bill.

He also appeared to be holding onto enough women supporters in America’s suburbs to prevail despite Harris’ best attempts to pull them away. The national exit poll showed Trump with a 51% to 47% edge with suburban white women voters.

So, all that push for women to have abortions didn’t help when food costs are up over 21% on average? Huh.

BTW, Washington D.C. went for Kamala 90.4% to 6.6% with 94% of the vote counted. A total cesspool of leftists who either live in the projects or work for the government.

Former Rep Mike Pappas Explains Why “Polluter Pays” Is A Bad Idea

By William Teach November 6, 2024 – 7:00 am

If only Republicans at the state and federal levels would introduce bills to make those who vote for ‘climate change’ bills give up all use of fossil fuels for official business. As a start

Op-Ed: ‘Polluter pays’ bill to address climate change is not in main street’s best interest

New Jersey lawmakers just introduced another feel-good “solution” to the climate crisis that will make life worse for everyday Americans in the Garden State.

In late September, Democratic State Sen. John McKeon began lobbying aggressively in favor of a bill that would force companies to pay a tax for “causing” climate change.

His legislation comes on the heels of a very similar bill that several Democratic U.S. senators introduced on the federal level on September 12.

These two pieces of legislation, which employ the so-called “Polluter Pays Principle” that’s gained popularity among leftist politicians, would have government bureaucrats calculate how much each company must pay for their part in “causing” this climate crisis.

What could possibly go wrong with giving bureaucrats this power?

These “Polluter Pays” bills  are being marketed as a way to ensure marketplace fairness and a cleaner country, but in reality, they would penalize companies for the “crime” of doing business in our state — for driving the cars that put food on our tables and make our supply chain hum and for providing us with the oil, gas, and energy we need to heat our homes and start our cars.

That’s not a recipe for fairness; it’s a recipe for grinding commerce in New Jersey to a halt.

It’s a recipe for companies leaving the state, and, those that can’t will pass the costs onto the consumers

With such a law in effect, fewer fossil fuel companies will choose to do business in New Jersey, and the ones that continue doing so will have no choice but to raise their prices to offset the added operational costs.

What happens when they decide to just leave? When there are few gas stations? And those that don’t will simply raise their costs, from gas to sodas and hot dogs and stuff where they are convenience stores? And a lot use natural gas for cooking and heating.

Moreover, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, almost three-quarters of New Jersey households use natural gas as their primary heating fuel, and nearly half of the state’s total electricity generation is provided by it.

With energy prices already pretty high, this will not go over well. But, all those who vote Democrat should take it on the chin and not complain, right?

Put another way, polluters won’t pay; New Jerseyans will. Here’s hoping these bills get shelved quickly.

But, they won’t expect them to pass. Hopefully it doesn’t mean a boatload more more down to NC and forgetting why they left NJ.

WWIII Watch: North Korean Troops Fight In Ukraine For First Time

By William Teach November 6, 2024 – 6:45 am

While we’re waiting for the supposed reprisal from Iran, which will mean Israel will retaliate, what’s going on in Ukraine?

North Korea Enters Ukraine Fight for First Time, Officials Say

North Korean troops have entered the fight in Russia’s war against Ukraine, clashing for the first time with Ukrainian forces who are occupying a large chunk of Russia’s Kursk region, according to a senior Ukrainian official and a senior U.S. official.

The engagement was limited, the Ukrainian official said, and likely meant to probe the Ukrainian lines for weaknesses. The North Koreans fought together with Russia’s 810 Separate Naval Infantry Brigade, the official said.

It was unclear when the fighting took place. The Ukrainian official offered no details about casualties, but the U.S. official said a significant number of North Korean troops were killed. Both officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to share sensitive military information.

The North Korean troops are part of what Ukrainian and Western officials estimate to be a contingent of about 10,000 soldiers sent by the North’s leader, Kim Jong-un, to bolster Russian forces trying to dislodge the Ukrainians from the Kursk region. Ukraine’s forces currently hold about 250 square miles there after an incursion that began last summer.

Well, obviously, the US needs to send tens of billions more in cash and weapons to Ukraine. They aren’t doing more then holding the Russians off, but, the big wigs and politicians in Ukraine are seeing their bank balances grow.

In his nightly address, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine seemed to confirm that North Korean forces had entered the fight, and he called on Ukraine’s allies to assist in confronting this new threat.

“The first battles with North Korean soldiers mark a new chapter of global instability,” he said. “Together with the world, we must do everything to ensure that this Russian step toward expanding the war — this true escalation — becomes a loss.”

Will it escalate, though? There’s not much in the European press about Ukraine, including this. It’s not topline news. The EU leaders aren’t calling for dumping more weapons into Ukraine. They aren’t making speeches. Perhaps the concern for Ukraine is waning? Right now it’s just a stalemate, and the longer it goes on the greater the chance of escalation that drags NATO in.

Weird: Key World Leaders Planning To Skip Next Climate (cult) Conference

By William Teach November 5, 2024 – 2:59 pm

Perhaps all of them should, since the fossil fueled travel of 30,000 Warmists to the far flung nation of Azerbaijan is not inconsequential per cult doctrine, eh?

Leaders from key countries to skip COP29 climate summit

World leaders from major economies including the United States, the European Union and Brazil are planning to skip this year’s United Nations climate change summit, known as COP29, in Baku, Azerbaijan.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will not attend the COP29 climate summit because of political developments in Brussels, a Commission spokesperson told Reuters on Tuesday.

There, EU lawmakers are vetting the members of her new European Commission, who will lead EU policymaking for the next five years.

U.S. President Joe Biden will also not travel to the event, a Biden administration source told Reuters. COP29 begins on Nov. 11, a few days after the U.S. presidential election.

Well, really, would they want Dementia Joe around? We’ve barely seen him since he dropped out of the race, and what we have seen has not been good. He’s lost. It’s sad, really.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva already cancelled his trip to COP29 following a head injury last month. (snip)

China, Japan, Australia and Mexico are also absent from the U.N.’s latest agenda for leaders’ speeches at COP29.

Yeah, but, really, the US and the rest will be send large amounts of people to COP29 on the taxpayer dime, all looking to create a way to institute more and more government power on the peasants.

North Carolina Looks To Change Constitution To Make Sure Non-Citizens Cannot Vote Locally

By William Teach November 5, 2024 – 10:30 am

Democrat cheaters and illegals hardest hit

Citizen-only voting amendment on the ballot for NC voters

Americans before illegalsNorth Carolina voters are being asked to approve a constitutional amendment this year that would reaffirm existing state rules that ban non-citizens from voting.

Supporters of the amendment have, for the most part, acknowledged it wouldn’t change anything in practice. Many say it’s simply needed to show continued support for the idea that only citizens should vote in elections. Others say they believe the new language is a more legally solid way of wording the rules, in case it gets challenged in a future court case. They’ve cited examples of a handful of cities in other states that let non-citizens vote in local races such as city council or school board.

Some opponents of the amendment say it risks spreading misinformation by tricking voters into thinking non-citizens can vote in North Carolina. Other opponents say that the way it’s worded could potentially lead to the future disenfranchisement of people who became U.S. citizens by being born here to parents who are citizens of other countries. That right of birthright citizenship is guaranteed in the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, but some Republican politicians including Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump have said they want to get rid of it.

The North Carolina constitution currently says: “Every person born in the United States and every person who has been naturalized, 18 years of age, and possessing the qualifications set out in this Article, shall be entitled to vote” in the state’s elections.

If the amendment passes, it would change that language to instead say: “Only a citizen of the United States who is 18 years of age and otherwise possessing the qualifications for voting shall be entitled to vote at any election in this State.”

This would restrict any who are not citizens, including those who are here on work and school visas, from voting, and it is primarily aimed at local and county elections. Sure, on the surface it seems that the original version stops them from the get go, but

(NC Newsline) Wake Forest University professor John Dinan, who specializes in state constitutions, wrote in an email that the bill will have no effect on federal elections, such as presidential and congressional races, where federal law explicitly prohibits noncitizens from voting. The only question is whether there exists any ambiguity in North Carolina law, which courts currently understand to prohibit noncitizens from participating in state and local elections.

Proponents say the change is needed to prevent future reinterpretations of the current constitution that could open the door to state and local voting by noncitizens. Opponents say the existing language is unequivocal, and that the proposed change only serves to raise anti-immigrant fervor and deter legal voters from participating in elections.

Yeah, well, in other states Democrat run cities have figured out a way to allow non-citizens to vote despite similar language in their state laws/Constitution. Consider that 72.4% of Democrats in NC are polling for passage. In the NC House 32 Dems voted for this, 12 against, and 4 were not-voting. In the Senate 10 for, 4 against, 6 not-voting.

This amendment simply tightens the existing amendment up, making sure there is no wiggle room. If you aren’t a citizen, you do not vote. Period. This is a pre-emptive strike against the far left who would look to try letting non-citizens vote in local elections. One would think this would not happen in NC, even in far, far, far left Asheville, but, with all the Northern carpetbaggers moving here to escape the terrible policies they supported up north, you never know if they’ll do the same down here. There are many hardcore Progressive groups, such as Carolina Forward, Common Cause North Carolina, Democracy North Carolina, and, surprise, Carolina Migrant Network and El Pueblo. Both of those groups support illegal aliens/migrants.

We have a joke: if you don’t like the way we do things in NC, 95 and 85 go north and south. 40 goes west. Pick a direction.

Many states, including lefty Colorado and California, have Constitutions that say the same thing. And California cities still try to let non-citizens vote. Iowa, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Idaho, South Carolina, Missouri, and Oklahoma are trying the same thing this year.

European Media Shocked ‘Climate Change’ Not A Major Election Issue

By William Teach November 5, 2024 – 7:15 am

Well, Hotcoldwetdry is becoming a bigger issue in Europe as of late, but, it’s over reducing the government control over citizen’s lives via the scam

Climate change was a major US election issue in 2020. Why has it taken a back seat in 2024?

The next month could be make or break for global climate action. On 5 November, the US will vote for who becomes the next president. Shortly after, world leaders will meet for COP29 in Baku to take part in vital international climate talks. (whining about CO2 output, while the EU forces the peasants into EVs and on trains while the Elites travel in fossil fueled private jets and limos)

Neither candidate has tapped into this urgency on the campaign trail, however – even after the deadly consequences of climate change-fueled weather wrought havoc in swing states over the last few months. (only the cultists believe Helene and Milton were because Other People drove fossil fueled vehicles)

Despite this, the 2024 election is a stark contrast to 2020 when climate was a major ballot issue, shooting to the top of the key concerns list for US voters.

This time around climate change has instead taken a back seat to other issues like the economy, immigration and foreign policy.

Does anyone remember that? I don’t, and I pay attention to this stuff, obviously. I remember it being about COVID and Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Polling suggests that climate change has become less of a deciding factor for many voters during this election than it was in 2020.

It ranks low on the list of major ballot issues for the 2024 election, according to Pew Research Center data. A survey of registered voters released at the beginning of September found that overall, 37 per cent said it was “very important” to their vote.

But there were wide differences between those who support Harris and those who support Trump. Just 11 per cent of Trump supporters said it was very important to their vote compared to 62 per cent of Harris supporters. For Harris voters, that puts climate change in their top five major ballot issues.

More recent polling released in early October by Gallup found that of 22 key election issues, climate change was one of only two viewed by less than a majority of voters as extremely or very important to their presidential choice. Just 21 per cent said climate change was of the utmost importance to their vote.

Again, climate change does somewhat OK when things are going well. When things aren’t, people are less than concerned with a theoretical issue when compared to things that are actually happening, like much higher food and energy costs, which have outpaced any gains in wages. Seeing the stories of illegals/migrants streaming into the US through the wide open border and killing and raping citizens, turning areas into 3rd world crime markets, seeing vast sums of taxpayer funds spent on them. Seeing the war in Ukraine have the potential to become WWIII, and the poor response from the Biden-Harris admin after Hamas attacked Israeli citizens, after they gave Iran lots of cash. Seeing biological men on women’s sports teams, seeing them in the locker rooms, showers, and bathrooms of girls. And so much more. These are real.
