“Climate-Vulnerable” Nations Demand Action Or Something

By William Teach November 13, 2026 – 7:15 am

Maybe we could start with making the 50K+ who took fossil fueled flights to Turkey for a climate conference pay their fair share? Maybe do it by Zoom? Oh, hey, we could shut down all the fossil fueled airports and seaports in their nations

Climate-vulnerable nations urge immediate action at UN Cop31 summit

Urgent action is needed to help countries hardest-hit by the effects of climate change, small island leaders said on Thursday at the United Nations climate talks in Turkey, describing global warming as a life-or-death issue for their people.

“It is time to move past the talking,” said Alix Sebastien Pillay, vice-president of Seychelles, who said the survival of his country, a 115-island archipelago in the Indian Ocean, is at stake. “For Seychelles, climate action is not simply an environmental priority.” (snip)

A report released on Thursday offered a grim assessment: progress in slowing global warming has essentially stalled for the past five years because any steps forward were cancelled out by inaction elsewhere.

The first five years after the 2015 Paris Agreement, the world did so much that it trimmed an entire degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) from warming projections, but nothing has changed since, the independent Climate Action Tracker said in its report.

Interesting how all those nations who were Doing Something decided “nah, we want to live our lives” post-COVID

Leaders from countries ravaged by climate change said adequate financing must be made available to deal with climate disasters, such as the 2022 floods in Pakistan that submerged over a third of the country, resulting in thousands of deaths and more than US$30 billion in damage.

“The future we feared has become the present we are living,” said Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. “Climate change knows no borders. No nation can face it alone.”

Surprise….well, not really, it’s all about the strings-free climate cash.

New HUD Rule Requires Proof Of Immigration Status

By William Teach November 13, 2026 – 7:00 am

Lot of teeth gnashing from the illegal supporters, as you’d expect

Public housing residents must prove immigration status under new HUD rule, possibly displacing thousands

Residents of federally funded public housing will be required to show proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status under a new rule published Thursday by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The measure could displace nearly 80,000 people, including tens of thousands of citizens in mixed-status families, from their homes, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research and policy institute.

Since 1995, mixed-status families have been permitted to live together in HUD-funded housing as long as federal subsidies covered only eligible household members. The new rule may force these families to decide whether to remain together in nonpublic housing or split up their households.

“This is tearing apart families and sowing division,” said Marie Claire Tran-Leung, director of the Evictions Initiative Project and managing attorney at the National Housing Law Project.

How about they pay for their own housing? We keep being told that illegals earn their keep.

The rule’s prior status, which allowed mixed-status families to live together, worked well for all parties, Tran-Leung said. Mixed-status households often paid a higher share of rent because their subsidies were prorated, experts say. If those families are forced to leave public housing, HUD will likely face financial shortfalls, Tran-Leung said.

Or, instead, Americans who’ve fallen on tough times could take those spots, and the illegals can head off to their home countries. Or other countries. Leave.

“President Trump warned that the days of illegal aliens and ineligible noncitizens exploiting government-funded welfare programs would be over,” HUD Secretary Scott Turner said in a statement. “It’s unacceptable that America’s homeless veterans, disabled, elderly, and victims of domestic violence languish on waitlists while illegals and ineligibles scam our system. American taxpayers will no longer foot the bill. Promises made, promises kept.”

Exactly. Let’s also not forget that so many of these measures are meant to de-incentivize illegals from coming. And tries to force those here to leave.

Climate Doom To Take 3.8% Of Working Hours Or Something

By William Teach November 12, 2026 – 5:42 pm

By 2030, of course. Will anyone remember this prognostication of doom and call the cultists who posted it out when it doesn’t happen?

Climate Change is Coming for Students’ Paychecks

I was working the front desk of my summer job at Sunset Beach in July when a man, dressed in blue scrubs, walked down and handed me a KN-95 face mask: something I hadn’t worn since the Covid-19 pandemic.

He told us that smoke from the Canadian wildfires had created fine inhalable particles, with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers – 30 times smaller than the average human hair.

Unbeknownst to me, prolonged exposure to these microparticles can cause irritation of respiratory airways and irregular heart rates.

My coworkers and I immediately put on the masks.

Few guests came down to the beach that morning, and almost all who did told me how bad they felt that I had to be working when the air was dangerous to my health. Watching them walk up and down the beach through the yellow haze in their face masks felt dystopian – like I was living in a sci-fi movie.

So, because someone did something stupid and started a wildfire, intentionally or unintentionally, it’s doom. Every minor experience is not a sign of climate apocalypse

At the moment, I was thrilled that I was able to leave early. However, that excitement quickly faded when I realized that this meant I would be working fewer hours, meaning a smaller paycheck at the end of the week.

However, these instances are symptoms of a larger problem of eco-anxiety, affecting nearly 60% of the youth.

No one ever had to leave work or school early before ‘climate change’, right?

For many students, summer is one of few opportunities to make money before heading back to a jam-packed school year; so, one paycheck really does make a difference for many when making budgets to save for college or re-pay loans.

However, teenagers working outdoors across the country can attest that these are not isolated incidents. For them, hours being cut as a result of severe weather has become the new normal.

I worked a bunch of outside jobs during my high school summers, and some college summers, and the weather could cause me to be off that day. Unfortunately, the weather also meant no surfing. Sigh. This is your fault in retrospect.

Senior Claire Maguire, who spends her summers lifeguarding at Sunset Beach, has felt the burden of climate change in almost every paycheck.

“If I get two shifts rained-out, that’s a lot of money that I could have been making, and time I could have been doing other things with,” she said.

These Yutes think they are the first people in the history of Mankind to have this happen. Insane

That said, she isn’t the only teenager experiencing climate-induced job insecurity. The World Economic Forum estimates that by 2030, 3.8% of total working hours could be lost because of climate-induced high temperatures, wildfires, and poor air quality.

Yes, and they want lots of your money and freedom to “solve” this.

Good News: Deportations And Arrests Hit Record Numbers

By William Teach November 12, 2026 – 10:30 am

There are varying accounts of how much all those big operations had in the mid-terms, some saying it made a difference and others saying it was low hanging fruit, that it was primarily about the economy

ICE deportations and arrests hit record high as Trump faces reckoning over immigration crackdown

Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported a record 483,200 people in fiscal year 2026, according to new Department of Homeland Security figures obtained by CBS News, marking a historic escalation in President Trump’s signature immigration crackdown, even as voters grapple with the increase in interior enforcement.

The total number of individuals deported represents the highest annual figure in ICE’s reported history, surpassing the law enforcement agency’s previous record of 442,640 in fiscal year 2025. ICE also reported more than 491,000 immigration arrests during the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, including nearly 475,000 administrative arrests — another record, according to DHS. Administrative arrests are those in which alleged undocumented immigrants are arrested for civil violations rather than criminal charges.

The records underscore a defining feature of Mr. Trump’s second presidency — a sweeping enforcement campaign reshaped by dramatic immigration policy and the operational expansion of the federal law enforcement footprint in communities far from the border. But they also arrive at a politically complicated moment for Mr. Trump.

According to DHS, the new deportation total is approximately 18% higher than the 409,849 removals ICE recorded in fiscal year 2012, during the Obama administration, a longstanding agency benchmark. The new record is also nearly 78% higher than the 271,484 deportations recorded in fiscal year 2024, the last full fiscal year under President Biden.

Keep on keeping on. Get them out of here. Make sure they aren’t bothering to show up at the border. It is the law, after all. Something Democrats hate. If Trump and his folks were smart they’d look towards increasing visas for work related opportunities like agriculture and home construction, with mandatory end dates, where they have to go home. We used to have this, where tons of folks, especially Mexicans, would come to the US, work farm season, spend the nice months building homes, then go back, and do the same the next year.

Meanwhile, social media people still suck

When Immigration Fear Becomes a TikTok Influencer’s Alleged Business Model

Fear has become a currency in America’s immigration system, and two federal lawsuits raise the disturbing question of whether it is being monetized.

Camila Overmyer, an Indiana-based beauty influencer turned immigration commentator, is accused of using Spanish-language TikTok livestreams to convince frightened immigrants seeking humanitarian relief that their lawyers may have implicated them in fraud. The complaints allege that she solicited contracts, immigration records, and sworn statements while directing viewers toward competing attorneys. One lawsuit further alleges that Overmyer acknowledged receiving commissions when referrals became paying clients.

The allegations remain contested, but they expose a danger larger than any dispute among law firms: What happens when someone without identified legal training gains immigrants’ trust, undermines their existing counsel, and may profit from directing them elsewhere?

If you listen to a rando on Tiktok, well, you’re an idiot

Houston-based Meneses Law alleges in its federal complaint that at least ten clients terminated or began canceling their agreements because of Overmyer’s social media activity. In a separate federal case, the Dublin, Ohio–based Lisinski Law Firm alleges that Overmyer and several attorneys coordinated broadcasts accusing it of fraud while encouraging clients to seek representation elsewhere. Lisinski says it received more than 475 calls from concerned clients. (snip)

Overmyer is not the only one accused of this behavior. Regulators in California and Texas have acted against nonlawyers accused of using Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube to market paid legal guidance, underscoring broader concerns about online personalities converting perceived authority into legal business.

Social media has broken a lot of people.

COP31 Warmists Say Nothing Must Distract From Doing Something On Climate (scam)

By William Teach November 12, 2026 – 7:15 am

No, no, definitely not a cult

Conflict must not distract from climate action, leaders warn COP31

Wars and trade disputes should not be allowed to distract the world from its struggle to combat global ?warming, leaders told the COP31 climate conference on Wednesday, as negotiators prepared to hash out a new deal to try to limit climate change.

COP31 host Turkey has been pushing countries to put a goal to expand electrification at the centre of a final deal, even as critics say it may do little to curb warming without a clearer plan to reduce the use of fossil fuels.

Heads of state gave back-to-back speeches ?on Wednesday to lay out their positions.

Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, whose country hosted last year’s conference, told the summit that climate change had since ?slipped down the global agenda.

“We started talking more about weapons and tariffs than the survival of future generations,” he said. “The planet cannot ?be at the mercy of hegemonic struggles.”

Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan echoed the comment.

“Wars, crises, migration, famine and poverty increase the need for international solidarity each day,” he said.

OK, cool, so, we’re supposed to now ignore Ukraine and the Palestinians? Should we let this distract us?

It’s OK, because the jets were going there anyway!

“No Kings” Dems Want To Kill Referendums They Lost

By William Teach November 12, 2026 – 7:00 am

If we jump into Political Theory 101, the Socialism part of the Democracy Model discusses them wanting tons of open voting, with few restrictions on who can vote, and lots of citizens directly voting on measures. You may have heard the term “direct democracy”, which they throw around a lot. But, what happens when they lose those ballot measures?

Democrats accused of ‘No Kings’ hypocrisy over push to change voter-approved trans sports measures

Voters in two Democratic strongholds approved restrictions on transgender participation in girls’ sports last week, delivering rare Republican victories amid a blue wave. But Democratic officials are already discussing ways to change the measures, drawing accusations of hypocrisy from Republicans who point to their support for the “No Kings” movement.

Colorado Gov.-elect Philip Weiser, who also criticized a separate ballot measure restricting gender-related surgeries for minors, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal , D-Wash., both raised objections to the measures approved in their respective states.

At his first post-election news conference, he suggested Colorado’s Democratic-controlled legislature could revisit the voter-approved measures, saying that it is “statutory … and a natural and I believe appropriate role for the legislature to say ‘what are the adjustments that need to be added.”

Colorado voters approved ballot measures increasing penalties for fentanyl-related offenses, restricting transgender athletes from competing in sports designated for the opposite biological sex and prohibiting gender-related surgeries for minors. The measures passed even as Democrats swept into power across the state.

“I don’t believe it would be acceptable to Colorado to have every student athlete to have to go through full-body examinations or other invasions of privacy,” Weiser added of the sports-related referendum, according to the Denver Post.

The measure is rather verbose, but, still specific: no males playing on women’s teams (it does allow women to play on men’s teams if there are no women’s teams available, but, that doesn’t happen often, it’s usually gender confused men). There is no latitude for the legislature. It’s only if the Democrats can get the courts to kill. And it passed 52.19 to 47.81. In Colorado. Democrat big wigs cannot allow the peasants to have their say, though.

Republicans in suburban Denver criticized the governor-elect, dubbing him “King Phil I” and characterizing his response as “know[ing] better than Colorado voters in a healthy democracy.”

“But before the ink on the ballots is even dry, Governor-elect Phil Weiser is already signaling that the vote of the people is merely a ‘suggestion’. With Coloradans approving ballot measures to crack down on fentanyl and protect youth sports and children, Weiser walked up to the podium on Wednesday and essentially declared that the will of the majority needs to pass his personal vibe check first,” the Adams County Republican Party said in a statement.

I bet he’d have a hissy fit if they held a No Kings protest against him. Phil won with 61% of the vote, yet, there were enough Democrats to put the no-transgenders in women’s sports measure over the top.

Meanwhile, in Washington State, Jayapal condemned a similar measure approved by voters.

Initiative 638 prohibits students defined as “biologically male” from competing in girls’ K-12 school sports and requires students seeking to participate on girls’ teams to provide verification of their biological sex from a health care provider. The measure passed with approximately 56% support in the reliably Democratic state.

Following the election results, multiple local news outlets reported that Jayapal pledged to “take our state back” after voters approved the initiative.

It’s cute her support and all, but, none are allowed to be transgender in Islam, and they’d be killed in the Muslim areas she likes to visit with her Squad pals.

Washington Democratic Party Chair Shasti Conrad signaled support for a legal challenge, calling the ballot measure “unconstitutional on its face” and indicating the party would “support [for] organizations planning to challenge it in court.”

How dare those peasants have their say!

Hooray! Democrats Take Long Fossil Fueled Flights To Turkey For Climate (scam) Conference

By William Teach November 11, 2026 – 2:50 pm

We’re saved! I wonder who’s paying for this? You know Marco Rubio won’t authorize payment. You also know that Democrat will find a way to get the taxpayers to cover all the expenses of the flights and staying at 5 star hotels

Democrats are at Cop31 to show that the US has not abandoned the fight against climate change

The results of the US midterms on November 3 delivered a resounding victory for the Democrats, and a major loss for US president Donald Trump and the Republican party.

Gaining control of the Senate and the House of Representatives has emboldened the Democrats, giving them a renewed sense of political legitimacy and a mandate to pursue their agenda. But will this shift translate into meaningful changes in US climate change policy?

No. Nothing they pass will survive Trump’s veto pen. Anyhow, the article continues with Trump, Trump, Trump, Democrats at last year’s scam conference in Brazil, Trump, Trump…oh, look, they mention Democrats winning again, a video of world leaders in Turkey (having taken fossil fueled flights), Trump, Trump, data centers evil

After the midterms, Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat, is likely to become the chair of the House of Representatives’ committee on science, space and technology once the new session starts in January. She wants to tackle the administration’s “climate denialism”.

If only any elected Republican had the cajones to say “How many fossil fueled flights have you and your Comrade taken this year, Zoe? Oh, and look, here’s a photo of your fossil fueled vehicle.”

However, the Democrat midterm wins will not mean that the US is automatically back at the negotiating table at Cop nor that the US will be able to rejoin the Paris Accords while Trump is president. Trump still has the power to make these decisions and can continue to keep the US out of international climate initiatives, regardless of who controls Congress. The US Constitution says nothing about withdrawing from treaties, which creates uncertainty for what the Senate’s role might be.

The 2015 Paris Climate Accord was not a treaty. It was specifically designed to do an end-run around the US Senate. Anyhow, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump….not one mention of any Democrats actually at the Turkey scam conference. I guess through all the Trump Derangement Syndrome they forgot about which Democrats attended

Oh, wait, lots of TDS there, too. The only Dem mentioned is Sean Casten, for which most are saying “Who?” The TDS infused just can’t help themselves.

Twice Deported, Three Times Caught Illegal Arrested After Threatening To Blow Up Plane

By William Teach November 11, 2026 – 10:30 am

Will Democrats also fight for this illegal?

Twice-deported illegal immigrant accused of trying to storm United cockpit, threatening bomb: DHS

A Honduran illegal alien accused of attempting to enter the cockpit of a United Airlines flight after allegedly claiming to have a bomb had previously been deported from the United States twice, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to Fox News.

Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto was arrested by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office after United Airlines Flight 2174 landed at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport after a frightening midair disturbance Monday night.

The suspect allegedly claimed to have a bomb during the flight, prompting the pilots to issue a reported hijacking alert, according to the Daily Mail. DHS separately confirmed that Gomez-Alberto was accused of attempting to enter the cockpit. (snip)

According to DHS, Gomez-Alberto was apprehended by Border Patrol after illegally entering the United States near El Indio, Texas, in September 2011 and again near Columbus, New Mexico, in October 2014. He was removed from the country following both encounters.

In 2019, Border Patrol arrested him again after an attempted illegal entry near San Ysidro, California.

ICE released Gomez-Alberto from custody in January 2020 after an immigration judge ordered his release pending removal proceedings, according to DHS.

Federal law makes re-entry after deportation a felony offense (1912. 8 U.S.C. 1326 — Reentry After Deportation (Removal)) which can get them a large fine and/or up to two years in jail, followed by deportation. So, the left wing judge let him go and he disappeared, because who would have thought Gomez-Alberto would be a flight risk? Another statute could now get him up to 10 years in jail, along with the whole attempting to storm a plane cockpit and threatening to blow up a plane.

How about we just drop him off in Africa or Southeast Asia with a hearty handshake and a “fair thee well!”, wipe our hands of him, rather than having to pay to keep him in jail?

More: I have to add this after running across it

“Bronx man”. So that’s where the illegal bolted to after being released in California
