DNC Big Mad At David Hogg For Wanting To Primary Democrats

By William Teach April 24, 2025 – 10:30 am

Far be it for me to defend David Hogg, who’s a massive gun grabber, a hardcore Progressive (nice Fascist), and rather wacko. But, primarying elected officials would be part of Democracy! per Democrats, wouldn’t it? Being able to speak your mind while working for an entity even when the entity wants you to stay quiet is part of Democracy! per Democrats, wouldn’t it? But, David is talking about something that scares Democrat Elites, so, they’ll simply change the rules. Because Democracy!

DNC gives David Hogg an ultimatum

The Democratic National Committee is going to force David Hogg to decide: Get out of the primary game or lose his DNC post.

During a member call on Thursday, DNC Chair Ken Martin is expected to announce a proposal to change the party’s rules to mandate all DNC officers stay neutral in all Democratic primaries, according to a person directly familiar with the plan and granted anonymity to describe private discussions. The move comes after Hogg pledged last week to spend millions of dollars funding challenges to “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats in primaries, igniting a firestorm inside the DNC.

The proposal, if passed at the DNC’s August meeting, would effectively force Hogg to decide whether to step away from his DNC vice chair position or wall himself off from the group he co-founded, Leaders We Deserve, which has pledged to spend $20 million on challenging Democratic incumbents in safe blue seats.

And that is the heart of the rub. Look at that article link in the excerpt

Leaders We Deserve, which Hogg co-founded in 2023, announced plans on Tuesday to spend $20 million in safe-blue Democratic primaries against sitting House members by supporting younger opponents. In an interview with POLITICO, Hogg said the group will not back primary challenges in battleground districts because “I want us to win the majority,” nor will it target members solely based on their age.

“We have a culture of seniority politics that has created a litmus test of who deserves to be here,” Hogg said. “We need people, regardless of their age, that are here to fight.”

David wants to go after those old foggies sitting in their easy “I don’t even have to campaign at all or talk to the peasants” seats to get primaried. Think Democrats like Nancy Pelosi. Think the ones who are over 60 who have been in their House and Senate seats for decades. What will David choose? Does he actually have that much influence amongst the younger Dem voters, the under 35 crowd? Are the Democrat insiders actually worried he and his group could accomplish this, or, are they just lashing out? Regardless, for whatever reason, the Elites are not happy when the youts, and any of the peasants, challenge them.

Waretown Man Charged With Arson For NJ Wildfire

By William Teach April 24, 2025 – 10:11 am

So, yeah, tons of Warmists were blaming the fire on ‘climate change’, forgetting this is the Pine Barrens, which are a fire risk even when it is wet

Here’s the Ocean County prosecutors office

Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette and Ocean Township Chief of Police Michal Rogalski announced that on April 23, 2025, Joseph Kling, 19, of Ocean Township (Waretown), was charged with Aggravated Arson and Arson in connection with a wildfire that started in Waretown on April 22, 2025, and continued to spread throughout the southern Ocean County area. (snip)

A thorough and extensive investigation conducted by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit-Arson Squad, New Jersey Forest Fire Service, Ocean County Fire Marshal’s Office, and New Jersey State Fire Marshal’s Office, plotted the origin of the fire via Global Positioning System (GPS). The cause of the fire was determined to be incendiary by an improperly extinguished bonfire.

Further investigation has revealed that Kling was the individual responsible for setting wooden pallets on fire – and then leaving the area without the fire being fully extinguished. Kling was taken into custody at Ocean Township (Waretown) Police Headquarters; he was thereafter transported to the Ocean County Jail, where he is presently lodged pending a detention hearing.

Sounds intentional. You don’t just light wooden pallets on fire and walk away unintentionally. I’d say 80% it was on purpose.

Fortunately, my parents were in no danger, and were able to be at home yesterday, with the intention to stay at a friend’s house on Long Beach Island, but, their power came back on late afternoon.

UK Experiment Looks To Block The Sun

By William Teach April 24, 2025 – 7:00 am

What could possibly go wrong with this? Besides, it’s England, how many sunny days does the nation actually get (about 135)?

UK scientists to launch outdoor geoengineering experiments

UK scientists are to launch outdoor geoengineering experiments as part of a £50m government-funded programme.

The experiments will be small-scale and rigorously assessed, according to Advanced Research and Invention Agency (Aria), the UK government agency backing the plan, and will provide “critical” data needed to assess the potential of the technology. The programme, along with another £11m project, will make the UK one of the biggest funders of geoengineering research in the world. (snip)

If successful, this could temporarily reduce surface temperatures and the harm the climate crisis is causing, giving more time for the deep cuts in global carbon emissions needed. Given the failure of the world to stop emissions rising to date, and the recent run of record hot years, backers of solar geoengineering say researching the issue is vital in case an emergency brake is needed. (snip)

Prof Mark Symes, who is leading the Aria programme, said the looming threat of climate tipping points was a strong reason to research solar geoengineering. The triggering of tipping points by rising temperatures, such as the collapse of vital ocean currents or giant ice sheets, would have catastrophic impacts.

Um, we’ve been hearing about tipping points for decades, yet, they keep moving them out and saying “they’re coming! Trust us!”

He said no toxic substances would be released, an environmental impact assessment would be published before outdoor experiments and that local communities would be consulted. Details of the projects funded by Aria are expected in a few weeks.

Aria’s programme was recently called a “dangerous distraction” from cutting emissions by senior scientists, who called SRM “barking mad” and akin to treating cancer with aspirin.

Well, yeah, but, then, all the other stuff the climate cult is pushing is also barking mad.

DOJ Going After Tren De Aragua Members With RICO

By William Teach April 24, 2025 – 6:45 am

I wonder how upset it will make the liberals (who live nowhere near the Venezuelan gang members)?

DOJ Files First-Ever RICO Charges Against 27 Tren de Aragua Gang Members

The Department of Justice filed multiple federal charges against 27 members of the hyperviolent Tren de Aragua Venezuelan gang on Monday. The charges include Racketeering, Narcotics and Sex Trafficking, Robbery, and Firearms offenses. DOJ officials say this marks the first time RICO charges have been filed against Tren de Aragua gang members.

On Monday, DOJ officials unsealed indictments against 27 current or former members of the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang. Officials report that 21 of the 27 indicted gang members are currently in federal custody.

“As alleged, Tren de Aragua is not just a street gang – it is a highly structured terrorist organization that has destroyed American families with brutal violence, engaged in human trafficking, and spread deadly drugs through our communities,” U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a written statement. “Today’s indictments and arrests span three states and will devastate TdA’s infrastructure as we work to completely dismantle and purge this organization from our country.”

The indictments include charges against six current TdA gang members and 21 former members who are now part of an “Anti-Tren” gang that splintered off from TdA.

I mean, that’s great, but

If convicted of racketeering conspiracy, Valero-Calderon, Gonzalez Castro, Morillo-Gomez, Brayan Oliveros-Chero, Sandro Oliveros-Chero, and Perez Gonzalez face up to life in prison. If convicted of drug trafficking conspiracy, Valero-Calderon, Brayan Oliveros-Chero, Sandro Oliveros-Chero, and Perez Gonzalez face up to 20 years in prison. If convicted of carjacking conspiracy, Valero-Calderon, Gonzalez Castro, and Morillo-Gomez face up to five years in prison. If convicted of carjacking, Valero-Calderon, Gonzalez Castro, and Morillo-Gomez face up to 15 years in prison. If convicted of Hobbs Act robbery, Valero-Calderon, Gonzalez Castro, and Morillo-Gomez face up to 20 years in prison. If convicted of firearm use, carrying, and possession, Valero-Calderon, Gonzalez Castro, and Morillo-Gomez face up to life in prison with a mandatory minimum sentence of seven years in prison. If convicted of attempted Hobbs Act extortion, Valero-Calderon, Gonzalez Castro, and Morillo-Gomez face up to 20 years in prison. If convicted of firearm use, carrying, and possession – conspiracy, Valero-Calderon, Gonzalez Castro, Morillo-Gomez, Brayan Oliveros-Chero, and Sandro Oliveros-Chero face up to 20 years in prison. If convicted of possession of ammunition by an illegal alien, Brayan Oliveros-Chero faces up to 15 years in prison. If convicted of possession of a firearm and ammunition by an illegal alien, Sandro Oliveros-Chero faces up to 15 years in prison. If convicted of firearm use, carrying, and possession, Perez Gonzalez faces up to life in prison with a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison. If convicted of possession of a firearm and ammunition by an illegal alien, Perez Gonzalez faces up to 15 years in prison.

Which means the US taxpayers have to support these people mostly brought in by the Biden-Harris regime, when, if Democrats could have just shut the hell up, they could have been deported. But, hey, maybe the Trump admin could build a jail for them in the center of a sanctuary city, like Boston or Denver.

RFK, Jr. Looks To End CDC Wuhan Flu “Vaccine” Mandate For Kids

By William Teach April 23, 2025 – 10:30 am

Well, it’s not really a mandate, but, when the CDC recommends certain vaccines for children schools tend to listen and require the same

RFK Jr. eyes reversing CDC’s Covid-19 vaccine recommendation for children

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is weighing pulling the Covid-19 vaccine from the government’s list of recommended immunizations for children, two people familiar with the discussions told POLITICO.

The directive under consideration would remove the Covid shot from the childhood vaccine schedule maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and widely used by physicians to guide vaccine distribution, marking Kennedy’s most significant move yet to shake up the nation’s vaccination practices.

Kennedy, a longtime anti-vaccine activist, has previously questioned the need for kids to get the shot, raising doubts about its safety and citing studies showing healthy children face an extremely low risk of death from Covid.

Eliminating the vaccine from the CDC schedule would not bar kids from receiving it. But the change would represent an extraordinary intervention by Kennedy to override the agency’s scientific decision-making and reverse a recommendation backed by the CDC and a slate of independent advisers just three years ago.

Wow, a lot of crazy to unpack. We’ve learned over the years that the COVID vaccines are anything but, because they mostly fail to stop anyone from actually getting Wuhan Flu. They don’t even really stop people from getting really sick from COVID. And then there are the side effects, that have been published. The CDC hasn’t exactly been a hotbed of science based decision making since COVID started, have they? Recommending everyone wear a mask that wouldn’t stop pollen, much less COVID. Then two masks. We could rehash it all, but, remember, CDC recommendations during COVID were treated like holy writ, and anyone failing to follow them was branded a heretic. And the CDC simply made pronouncements without bothering to inform the public what the science said, without really going through a scientific process.

The removal would also likely influence vaccination procedures across the nation. Pediatricians rely on the CDC schedule to determine which vaccines they should give children and when to administer them, in order to protect against a range of common infectious diseases.

The schedule is also closely watched by insurers in deciding which vaccines to cover, as well as states and localities that determine which vaccines schools require for students — though no states currently mandate the Covid shot.

The COVID jabs were experimental, and the CDC has not performed a true, full, scientific investigation into the full responses to the jabs, unlike those drugs in the annoying ads on TV and radio (seriously, why would you take a drug if you are allergic?). Unlike all the other vaccinations that are recommended for kids.

Kennedy and his allies also believe that yanking the vaccine off the CDC schedule would rally voters who gravitated to Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” movement over their distrust of the government’s Covid response and his vows to scrutinize the government’s vaccine policies. Kennedy has criticized the independent panels that advise the CDC and other agencies on vaccines, accusing them of being captured by the pharmaceutical industry despite clear conflict-of-interest guardrails.

They do? Any evidence of this? That would be a no. Not one shred is offered by Politico.

Just 13 percent of children have gotten the latest Covid shot, according to the most recent CDC data. And after Republicans, led by President Donald Trump, turned the pandemic response into an increasingly partisan issue, states have veered away from efforts to require it.

So, the vast majority of doctors are not giving it, probably just those who were driven moonbat and wear masks in their own cars, or the parents, primarily left wing wackos, who wear masks in their cars.

Yet the change, if finalized, would still likely prompt opposition from public health experts and Kennedy skeptics who worry it could further undermine faith in vaccines and open the door to more drastic changes to the childhood schedule.

Doubtful. No one is going to stop giving their kids vaccines for polio, mumps, measles, chicken pox, etc, because most are rational and do not trust the COVID “vaccine”. Polio works. Get the schedule of shots and the kid will never get it. Because it is a vaccine. The Wuhan Flu vaccine is not much better than a placebo. It would be wonderful if it worked. But, let’s not forget that the Powers That Be said you’d get your life back if you took it, but, after you did take it, you didn’t get your life back.

And while children are perhaps the group least at risk from Covid, CDC data show more than 1,800 kids have died from the disease, with hundreds of thousands more hospitalized.

And the “vaccine” didn’t stop it. COVID19 is something we all have to learn to live with. If it worked like the flu vaccines, which are recommended by the CDC, sure. But, it doesn’t.

However, RFK, Jr, is still a nut, and, I’ve always said he’s a nut

But, a nut is still right now and then.

Big Fire Raging In Southern NJ

By William Teach April 23, 2025 – 8:16 am

This is insane. And it’s near where the parents live. Mom called and texted me not long after 9pm, but, I missed it because I was in the shower, and didn’t realize till I picked my phone up around 1030pm to set my alarm. Freaked me out, because the messages made me think it was their house on fire, not a big wildfire. They had to evacuate, and are fine. Not sure if their house is OK, yet. I’m not seeing any stories about where in full has burned

I’ve taken that exit many times when visiting. This is maybe 3 miles from their house.

More under the fold

Navy Secretary Says Not Focusing On Climate Scam

By William Teach April 23, 2025 – 7:15 am

I was hoping there would be a press release, but, the video will have to do

Exactly. Focus on being able to kick the ever-loving-snot out of any country or group that messes with the U.S. and its citizens.

Elsewhere

Texas political leaders are indifferent, if not hostile, to climate change mitigation

Each year, Texas residents, industries and transportation emit more than 800 million tons of greenhouse gases with an impact on climate change that is comparable to Germany, which has a population 2.5 times larger.

Despite the state’s relatively high emissions, according to data from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the European Union, Texas has done little to address past and future climate change.

California, the only state that comes close to Texas’ level of planet-warming greenhouse gases, has enacted aggressive policies to reduce emissions. Texas, under’ Republican political leadership for about three decades, remains largely indifferent — or outright hostile — to placing regulations on business and industry to reduce emissions..

And, how’s that going in California? Despite all those laws and restrictions and taxes and fees, California is still complaining that their carbon footprint is too high, which means more control of citizen’s lives, which means more people and companies take their money to other states. Texas doesn’t care. If the Warmists in Texas want to mitigate their own lives, have at it. Till then, bugger off.

Wacky Judge Requires Trump Admin To Give 21 Days Notice To Venezuelans For Deportation

By William Teach April 23, 2025 – 7:00 am

OK, hold them in a jail which is nice and cold and then boot them. What makes these Democrats want to keep foreign gang members in the U.S.?

Trump must give some Venezuelan migrants 21 days’ notice before deportations, judge rules

A federal judge in Colorado directed President Donald Trump’s administration on Tuesday to give Venezuelan migrants detained in that state notice 21 days in advance before any deportations under a law historically used only in wartime, and to inform them of their right to challenge their removal.

In a written ruling maintaining a temporary block within Colorado on deportations under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney said the administration must tell the migrants in a language they understand that they have the right to consult a lawyer.

OK, so, this applies only to the illegals held in the People’s Republik Of Colorado. I wonder if all those Democrat voters in Denver and Aurora feel warm and fuzzy with all the Tren De Arugua

(NBC News) The American Civil Liberties Union, representing the migrants held in Colorado, had asked Sweeney to require the administration to provide notice 30 days in advance. That timetable was in line with the procedure that the U.S. government used the last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked, during World War II, to intern and deport people of Japanese, German and Italian descent.

The law authorizes the president to deport, detain or place restrictions on individuals whose primary allegiance is to a foreign power and who might pose a national security risk in wartime.

Thirty days, eh? What, exactly, does the actual law state?

§22. Time allowed to settle affairs and depart
When an alien who becomes liable as an enemy, in the manner prescribed in section 21 of this title, is not chargeable with actual hostility, or other crime against the public safety, he shall be allowed, for the recovery, disposal, and removal of his goods and effects, and for his departure, the full time which is or shall be stipulated by any treaty then in force between the United States and the hostile nation or government of which he is a native citizen, denizen, or subject; and where no such treaty exists, or is in force, the President may ascertain and declare such reasonable time as may be consistent with the public safety, and according to the dictates of humanity and national hospitality.(R.S. §4068.)

It doesn’t say the ACLU. It doesn’t say rogue left wing judges. It gives the President the power (really, the law should have stated a minimum time, but, Congress has been giving away their power to the Executive for a long time). At this point, though, Trump should simply sit on the illegals and then deport them on day 22. And, here’s what I think is a great idea: take all those illegals who are caught and ship them to Colorado, then say “hey, the judge says we should give them all 21 days, and deport on day 22. We’re going to comply.”

Meanwhile

DHS: Ads in foreign media turning migrants away

The Department of Homeland Security says an international media blitz is succeeding in persuading foreign nationals not to come to the United States without authorization.

DHS launched multilingual radio, broadcast and digital campaign in several countries last month featuring Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Her overarching message is to warn those planning to cross into the U.S. illegally to not come to America and break its laws or they will be “hunted down and deported.”

The complete opposite of the Biden admin. Instead of telling them to come, they’re saying don’t come.

Doom Today: Scientists May Possibly Have Underestimated Climate Doom

By William Teach April 22, 2025 – 6:27 pm

If it’s so bad then why do so few Warmists practice what they preach?

Scientists may have underestimated global warming’s severity. Here’s how

Any Credentialed Media article that includes “here’s how” is not news, it’s opinion

Scientists use computer models to project how hot earth will get as humans burn more oil and gas.

But it turns out those models have a bit of a blind-spot: exactly how much of the sun’s energy gets reflected back to space from the snow and ice at our poles.

As a result, scientists may have been underestimating global warming.

National climate reporter Chase Cain traveled to Antarctica to see how tiny changes in color there can lead to big changes in temperature for the entire planet.

So, computer models and the cult reporter taking a long, fossil fueled trip to Antarctica? Brother.

Bright snow and ice reflects the sun’s energy back to space, helping earth stay a little cooler. Even though it’s a tiny change, the algae that grows on patches of ice in Antarctica alters the albedo — or the ice’s reflectivity — enough to make the planet warm even faster.

“When [the algae] are actively photosynthesizing, they have a larger impact on the surface albedo because they’re bringing extra energy into the snowpack, which dissipates as heat and causes it to melt faster,” Khan explained.

So, how does this compare to during previous Holocene warm periods? If you do not know then you have no comparison. That’s not science. But, then, none of this is science, it’s a cult.
