German Government Cracks Down On Border After Knife Attacks

By William Teach September 16, 2024 – 10:30 am

Good for them. Of course, it’s way too late

Germany Cracks Down on Its Borders Following Migrant Knife Attacks

Germany has begun a new border crackdown following two knife attacks attributed to migrants.

On Monday, Germany began random checks at it borders with five Western European nations expanding a system of controls that are already in place at four other borders.

Last month, a knife attack in Solingen killed three people and in June, a knife attack left a police officer dead and four other people wounded.

Police controls began on Monday at the borders with France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and Denmark and are due to continue for six months. (snip)

In June, a knife attack attributed to an Afghan immigrant left a police officer dead and four other people wounded.

On Aug. 23, a man linked to Islamist extremism killed three people and wounded eight others in a stabbing rampage at a festival in Solingen.

A 26-year-old Syrian asylum-seeker who had evaded deportation from Germany to Bulgaria, was arrested shortly after the attack.

That’s nice, but, they’ve been letting in Islamic extremists for decades legally, even before 9/11, where several of the attackers were living in Germany. They’ve also seen them come in illegally for decades, and barely deport them. The nation has seen the Islamism rise, just like in France, England, Spain, and other EU nations. They’ve seen them take over neighborhoods and cities and institute Islamism. So, this is just too late.

Until the German government starts deporting them, legal or illegal, the knife attacks will continue, as the implementation of Islamism will continue.

How To Talk To Terrified Children About Hotcoldwetdry

By William Teach September 16, 2024 – 7:15 am

Well, personally I’d start with the notion that the climate always changes. That there have been numerous warm and cool periods during the Holocene, and this one is not really any different. That the Earth is not doomed. That, instead of worrying about a minor increase in the Earth’s temperature they redirect that energy to be better environmentalists. But, that’s me

How to Talk to Anxious Children About Climate Change

At 21, Olivia Vesovich has already put more on the line for the climate fight than most people, regardless of age. In 2020, Vesovich was just 16 and wrapping up her sophomore year of high school when she decided to sacrifice her privacy and step onto the national stage as one of the 16 youth plaintiffs represented by Our Children’s Trust in the Held v. Montana lawsuit.

Vesovich first heard about the search for plaintiffs when the faculty advisor for Students Against Violating the Environment (SAVE) approached the club members at Hellgate High School in Missoula about the possibility of signing on as plaintiffs in the suit seeking to hold the Montana state government accountable for not doing more to counter the worsening climate crisis.

Blah blah blah, more youts suing but refusing to make their own lives carbon neutral.

For the last two decades parents and educators have been muddling through climate discussions without any clear guidelines or idea of the consequences, thoughtlessly introducing kids to climate change without providing the proper emotional support. But this is now starting to change.

New curriculum is being developed to fill gaps between climate education and emotional support while educators and therapists work to help under-supported parents and other family members figure out how to talk to their children about climate change.

Such conversations are not easy, said psychiatrist Lise van Susteren, who thinks these “moral injuries” at such a young age can have lifelong consequences, leading to the loss of faith in social bonds, cynicism and anxious disconnection from others.

In other words, this will reinforce those anxieties, make their mental well being even worse.

How do I feel about climate change? Terrified — but action is essential

When I was a child, the possibility of apocalypse due to climate change seemed too distant for me to worry about. I never would have imagined that climate change would be an existential threat not in a few centuries, but within our modern era. But here we are, and it became a weighty issue for me because of an unexpected experience.

And this is what the media and education system has wrought. Mental destruction. But, if this kid writing in the LA Times wants to take action, no one is stopping him from changing his own life. But, of course, he wants to force everyone else to be included.

They Tried To Assassinate Trump Again

By William Teach September 16, 2024 – 7:00 am

So, who was it, a moonbat Kamala supporter who’s heard her talk about him being a dictator and a threat to democracy, or an unhinged Never Trumper who says the same? Or other wacko Democrat?

Trump Is Safe After Secret Service Fires at Potential Shooter

The FBI said Sunday it was investigating “what appears to be an attempted assassination” of Donald Trump at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, just nine weeks after the Republican presidential nominee survived another attempt on his life. Trump said he was safe and well.

Fox News reported the suspect’s name is Ryan Wesley Routh.

The U.S. Secret Service opened fire at a man pointing an AK-style rifle into the club as Trump was on the course, three law enforcement officials said. The person dropped the weapon and fled in an SUV, and was later taken into custody in a neighboring county. The officials were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

An AK-style firearm was recovered at the scene near Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach, two of the officials said. And no injuries were reported.

So, we do know the name of the wacko, we just do not know the motivation or political beliefs? What’s the over/under he uses pronouns, supports Kamala, and is trans or binary or something?

CNN reported: “Officials believe the shots fired at Trump International Golf Club were intended for former President Donald Trump, according to sources familiar on the matter.”

Will the Credentialed Media look to sweep this under the rug like the 1st attempt? Will the usual moonbats trot out conspiracy theories?

Is this him?

Stage Setting: NY Times Says To Expect It To Take A While For The 2024 Election Results

By William Teach September 15, 2024 – 7:00 am

And they know this 2 months out how?

New York Times Says to Expect Election Results to Take a While

Expect election results in November to take a while, the New York Times told its readers Friday, a warning that appears to preempt an expectation that Americans should know who wins the presidential election on Election Night.

Before modern technology, close presidential elections often were decided in the early morning of the next day, such as the 1960 presidential election between Robert F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, which some political experts believe was stolen from Nixon.

Now, in the 21st century, close election results still take a similar amount of time or even longer, depending on the state in question. In 2020, election results were not determined until four days after Election Day.

Americans should not expect to know who won the 2024 presidential election on the night of the election because of “intense security measures required for counting mail-in ballots,” the Times reported:

Counting mail ballots takes more time because there are more steps involved. A variety of security measures, including signature verification and ensuring that voters did not also try to vote in person, are required. Election officials must open the ballots and flatten them out before they can be put in a tabulator to be counted.

Weird. Prior to 2016, and especially 2020, it was easy to count mail in ballots. But, are you really believing the Times’ rationale? It sounds more like they are looking for ways to stretch it out to make sure all the cheat by mail ballots get counted.

But, yeah, more are using it, and Republicans are trying to get those who wouldn’t usually go vote to do vote by mail. Perhaps it’s time to go back to the way voting was meant to be?

The problem is not that it could take a little time: it’s that the time stretches on beyond reasonable, and that Democrats attempt to hide what they’re doing as they’re counting.

Democrats Introduce Bill To Tax You For ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach September 14, 2024 – 5:16 pm

Well, it’s really on the fossil fuels companies, but, it will be you paying it through higher prices on everything

Democrats seek to tax fossil fuel companies over climate change

A large group of Democrats is looking to force the fossil fuel industry to pay for climate change.

Lawmakers unveiled a bill Thursday that would allow the Treasury Department to impose fees on major fossil fuel companies that are owned or operated in the U.S.

The legislation seeks to establish a $1 trillion fund that companies would have to pay into based on their share of planet-warming emissions. The money would go toward infrastructure upgrades, cleaning up pollution and providing assistance after climate-related disasters.

Oh, cool, a slush fund for Democrats to line their pockets and hook up their big campaign supporters

“After fueling the climate crisis for decades, big polluters can no longer run from their responsibility to address the harm they have done,” said Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), the bill’s Senate sponsor, in a written statement. The bill’s House sponsors are Reps. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Judy Chu (D-Calif.).

None of whom have given up their own fossil fueled travel. Yes, it matters.

The bill would also likely face an uphill battle under almost any Senate composition given the upper chamber’s 60-vote threshold for avoiding a filibuster.

Even if Democrats regain the House, it won’t pass the Senate. However, this tells you exactly what they want to do. You think food is expensive now? How about your energy bill? Just wait.

Politico: The Next President Has Limited Ability To Lower The Food Costs Covid And Biden-Harris Spiked

By William Teach September 14, 2024 – 10:30 am

This article is an attempt to protect Kamala from the food increases that occurred under her watch

What presidents can and can’t do to lower grocery prices

A majority of U.S. consumers believe elected officials, of one party or the other, can help lower their grocery bills — an expectation that could help swing the election, given how important inflation is to likely voters in 2024.

The truth is likely to disappoint them. Despite what both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are promising on the campaign trail, the next leader of the free world has limited options to lower food costs in the speedy or widespread way many voters might hope. (Just ask President Joe Biden, who struggled for much of his presidency to show Americans he was reining in grocery prices). That said, POLITICO spoke to a number of economists who argued there are good reasons to go after some of the drivers of high food costs, even if the impacts won’t be felt for some time.

Joe did? How? Most of his policies made things worse. Who was sitting right there with him? Did Politico miss that they called it the Biden-Harris administration since day one?

POLITICO took a look at some of the policies Biden, Harris and Trump have used, or said they plan to use, to address high food prices and the limitations of each. Neither the Harris nor Trump campaigns responded to a request for comment.

First they discuss Kamala’s price gouging idiocy, and it comes to the conclusion everyone knows: it has zero chance of passing Congress, and it would actually make food prices worse.

Then they touch on Trump wanting to increase the energy supply, and their “reality check” states

The U.S. government has limited influence over those global prices, which are shaped by market and geopolitical factors. Gas prices dropped during the early months of the pandemic, for example, because millions of people stayed home and dramatically reduced their gas consumption. But as the Bureau of Labor Statistics documented, prices surged as society reopened and the economy started to rebound.

While energy prices have consistently been higher under Biden than they were during Trump’s first term, they have dropped from their heights in 2022, when Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sent global prices soaring. As the Agriculture Department noted in February, fuel and oil costs saw significant declines in 2023 and are expected to decline again in 2024, thanks to drops in global energy prices. U.S. oil prices in the past few days have dropped to their lowest level in two years as OPEC+ says it will increase its own oil production later this year and fuel demand in China looks weaker.

Except, energy prices are still higher than they were during the Trump years. If you bring them down by even just 50 cents a gallon, especially for diesel, you significantly decrease the supply chain costs. Couple that with decreasing the cost of energy to run businesses and farms and such, and food prices come down without disinflation (which is often bad). You’re just lowering the cost of doing business. The Ukraine war has a very, very, very limited impact on US food prices and energy.
