Climate Crisis (scam) Is Aging People Or Something

By William Teach August 28, 2025 – 4:03 pm

Man, the doomsday cult has really been working overtime lately to come up with some scary new stuff

Heatwaves are making people age faster, study warns

Repeated exposure to heatwaves, which are growing more frequent due to climate change, may accelerate ageing, particularly among manual workers, a new study warns.

Although previous research showed heatwaves had negative effects on the health of older people, it primarily focused on short-term exposure to sustained heat. The new study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, assessed the potential long-term impact of heatwaves on health and ageing.

Researchers analysed data from 24,922 adult people in Taiwan with an average biological age of 46 years to assess how heatwaves influenced ageing.

They defined rapid ageing as the difference between biological and actual age and assessed its association with heatwave exposure.

Biological age is a measure of how well the human body functions at the molecular and organ levels compared to its chronological age based on the birthdate.

By analysing patient data from 2008 to 2022, the researchers found an increase in cumulative heatwave exposure was associated with a rise in age acceleration.

The findings suggest people living in places that experience more days of high heat show greater biological ageing on average than those in cooler regions.

Um, it’s not like there’s a massive variation in the climate areas of Taiwan, right? It’s all so tiresome.

NY Times: Minneapolis Shooter’s Motive Is A Total Mystery!

By William Teach August 28, 2025 – 10:30 am

The motive is pretty much right there in the headline and subhead

Minneapolis Suspect Knew Her Target, but Motive Is a Mystery
The shooter who attacked a Catholic school on Wednesday posted social media videos and writings that betrayed a litany of grievances and obsessions.

For one thing “she” is a guy. Transgender. Crazy

The person who the police say opened fire on a Catholic school in Minneapolis on Wednesday appears to have known the school well.

Robin W. Westman, who officials said strafed the church through the stained glass windows, killing two children, was believed to have once attended the school at Annunciation Catholic Church, according to a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation.

Her mother, Mary Grace Westman, worked in the business office of the church for five years before retiring in 2021. And in a video posted on social media, the suspect showed a hand-drawn rendering of the Annunciation interior.

And Ms. Westman, armed with three weapons, seemed to choose the time carefully. She barricaded the doors during the first all-school Mass of the academic year, the police said.

But it is hard to fathom what drove Ms. Westman to attack before killing herself, despite the dark and violent writings and videos she left behind.

Well, his original name was Robert.

On social media, some conservative activists have seized on the shooter’s gender identity to broadly portray transgender people as violent or mentally ill. The police did not provide any motive for the attack, but Ms. Westman’s extensive social media history was a contradictory catalog of anger and grievance.

Are you sure we’re not pouncing?

In seemingly stream-of-consciousness videos that she posted, she fixated on guns, violence and school shooters. She displayed her own cache of weapons, bullets and what appear to be explosive devices, scrawled with antisemitic and racist language and threats against President Donald Trump.

The videos also show pages from a diary, with long entries describing self hatred, violence against children, and a desire to inflict harm on herself. The diary entries are almost entirely written in English, but using Cyrillic letters. A sticker in the diary displays L.G.B.T.Q. and transgender flags with a gun and the slogan “Defend Equality.”

Police said that the videos have been taken offline.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to take everything offline, because that creates more conspiracy theories. But, hey, anyhow, after all that the Times wrote they can’t figure out that Robert was nuts, hated Trump, hated Israel and Jews? Though, in fairness, it doesn’t explain why he attacked the Christian school. Other than being nuts.

Rest below the fold

Your Fault: Haboobs To Become More Prevalent Because ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach August 28, 2025 – 7:00 am

Ha. Boobs

Lots of cool vids on Twitter, which sends the LA Times Warmists into doomsday apoplexy

More haboob dust storms are coming to California thanks to climate change

For anyone wondering whether intense dust storms, like the haboob that enveloped Phoenix this week, are possible in Southern California, the answer is yes.

They’ve hit in the recent past and are a growing issue over much of Southern California and the Central Valley, thanks to the drying associated with climate change, water over-use, wildfire, off-roading, tractors on dry soil, and construction, experts say.

In 2022, for instance, there was a massive haboob in the Salton Sea area. The dust from that nighttime storm — with a 3,000-foot high wall of dust and 60 mile per hour winds — went all the way to Los Angeles. (snip)

It’s a serious enough phenomenon that UC researchers formed a consortium, known as UC Dust. They estimate that more than 55,000 square miles in the state and 5 million Californian are directly affected by dust storms. Evans said they are difficult to forecast, leaving millions of people vulnerable and exposed. Porter agreed.

So, they’re simply guessing at this point? Other than in the headline and a bit in the second paragraph, there is absolutely nothing offered as proof that this is your fault.

Bummer: Judge Dugan Cannot Claim Judicial Immunity For Sheltering Illegal From ICE

By William Teach August 28, 2025 – 6:45 am

I’m actually rather shocked that another judge ruled this way, and then it having to get overturned

US federal judge rules Wisconsin judge cannot claim immunity in immigration obstruction case

A US federal judge on Tuesday rejected a Wisconsin state court judge’s claim of judicial immunity, allowing criminal charges to proceed against her for allegedly obstructing federal immigration enforcement.

Judge Lynn Adelman of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin denied Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah C. Dugan’s motion to dismiss a federal indictment. The indictment charges Dugan under 18 U.S.C. § 1071 with concealing a person from arrest and under 18 U.S.C. § 1505 with obstructing removal proceedings conducted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Federal prosecutors allege that in April 2025, Dugan confronted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents outside her courtroom, told them they needed a judicial warrant to arrest a noncitizen defendant, and directed them to leave the area. According to the indictment, she later allowed the individual and his attorney to exit through a non-public jury door, advising that he could appear remotely at his next court date.

In her motion to dismiss, Dugan argued that the alleged conduct constituted official judicial acts shielded by absolute immunity, that the prosecution violated the Tenth Amendment by intruding on state court authority, and that the statutes should be construed to avoid constitutional conflicts. Judge Adelman rejected these arguments, ruling that while judges enjoy immunity from civil suits for damages, the Supreme Court has never recognized absolute judicial immunity from criminal liability. He emphasized that judicial acts may serve as the means of accomplishing an unlawful end, and that immunity does not bar prosecutions alleging corrupt intent.

I mean, it’s an attempt to use the judicial system, but, it’s all on video, and the federal government has absolute authority when it comes to illegal immigration, so, the 10th Amendment doesn’t apply. It’s right there in Article I. And, as Dems like to say, no one is above the law. And, heck, the feds could have also charged her with more, like 8 U.S. Code § 1324 – Bringing in and harboring certain aliens, section iii, for which the penalty is a fine and up to 5 years in jail. But, the government could argue she put the lives of federal agents in threat, they could ask up to 20 years.

Your Fault: Flesh Eating Bacteria Cases Are On The Rise

By William Teach August 27, 2025 – 3:30 pm

It couldn’t possibly be something else besides the climate crisis, right?

Flesh-eating bacteria cases are rising. Climate change is to blame, say scientists

Just southwest of New Orleans, in a tranquil fishing village on the Louisiana bayou, Linard Lyons spent the morning on his 19-foot boat, preparing crab traps for his grandchildren just like he had done thousands of times before.

This time, he noticed a tiny scratch on his leg – a scratch that nearly cost him his life.

Lyons went about his day but woke up the following morning feeling “delusional.” Feverish and vomiting, he initially thought he had just contracted a stomach bug, but then discovered a series of blackening sores spreading across his left leg. (snip)

That small scratch on Lyons’ leg became the entryway for Vibrio vulnificus, also known as flesh-eating bacteria. Those black sores on his leg signified necrotizing fasciitis, which “affects the tissue under your skin,” according to the Cleveland Clinic.

These potentially deadly bacteria are naturally found and thrive in coastal waters during the warmer months, especially in brackish waters, where fresh water meets the sea, according to the US Centers for Disease and Control Prevention. Once largely confined to the Gulf Coast, cases have surged along the East Coast, with an 800% increase from 1988 to 2018, according to the CDC.

So, of course

The oceans are getting warmer and sea level is rising because of human-caused climate change, and scientists warn these factors are increasing the risk of Vibrio infections.

See? Your fault for driving a fossil fueled vehicle. It can’t possibly be norm for a typical Holocene warm period, right? Do we have a comparison to the spread of Vibrio vulnificus during previous warm periods?

“Maryland Man’s” Lawyer Wants Immigration Case Reopened So He Can Declare Asylum

By William Teach August 27, 2025 – 10:30 am

This is a joke, right?

Abrego Garcia’s attorneys ask to reopen his immigration case to seek asylum

Abrego Garcia, who was rearrested Monday in Maryland after he was released Friday from criminal custody in Tennessee, is currently being held in a detention center in Virginia, where the federal government is temporarily blocked from deporting him pending further proceedings in a habeas case.

“At 5pm yesterday, Petitioner filed a motion to reopen before an immigration judge to seek asylum in the United States,” his attorneys said in a proposed scheduling order filed on Tuesday. “Petitioner proposes that the parties allow the immigration judge to resolve that motion within two weeks from today.”

According to the emergency motion to reopen the case, his attorneys argue that because Abrego Garcia was deported and then brought back to the U.S., he is now eligible to apply for asylum within one year of his last entry into the U.S.

The motion asks the immigration court in Baltimore to “immediately” order a stay of removal to afford Abrego Garcia “an opportunity to seek protection from persecution and torture in Uganda,” where the government has indicated he could be sent.

Um, he didn’t voluntarily show up at the border declaring asylum: the government brought him back to face charges for felony human trafficking. Members of gangs are not eligible for asylum. Nor are wife beaters. It’s an interesting attempt by his lawyers, though, they have to throw everything at the wall.

“Respondent fears persecution and torture in Uganda because he is a Salvadoran national and would be a deportee without any legal status in Uganda,” his attorney said in the filing. “Furthermore, he is at risk of being removed to El Salvador by the Ugandan government where he is likely to once again face persecution and torture within CECOT.”

He can go anywhere he wants, as long as it is outside the U.S.

In the filing, the attorney also said that reopening the case is warranted to allow Abrego Garcia to designate Costa Rica as the country of removal.

Just say “Put me on a plane to Costa Rica. I’m outa here” and they’ll send you. Because, otherwise, the government is going to prosecute him and stick him in jail for quite some time for trafficking, and then deport him once released. Of course, I fully expect some wacko judge to rule in his asylum claim, because that’s what they seem to do. Which will then be overturned by a non-wacko court.

It’s still amazing, even knowing the Democratic Party, how much they are willing to defend this guy.

Who Wants To Throw A Climate (scam) Friendly Wedding?

By William Teach August 27, 2025 – 7:45 am

Is this a new one? I’m not sure I’ve seen the doomsday cult involve weddings into their dogma

Six ways to throw a climate-friendly wedding — and save money
Tips for Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, and anyone else planning a wedding.

When my fiancée and I got engaged, we knew we wanted to celebrate our relationship in the company of our loved ones. As a climate journalist and a scientist interested in sustainability, we also knew we didn’t want our wedding to cause a lot of harm to the environment and climate. (snip)

Weddings can be beautiful, fun, affordable, and environmentally friendly, but that doesn’t happen by chance. You have to commit to it. The average U.S. wedding generates roughly 56 tons of carbon pollution. That’s over three times the amount the average American produces in a year and almost nine times more than the global average per person.

In addition to climate-warming pollution, weddings generate a lot of food and single-use plastic waste — by some estimates, the average wedding generates 400 pounds of waste.

Kiira Portet is a wedding planner in Seattle, Washington, who began prioritizing eco-friendly wedding practices after working for a luxury planning company.

Or, you can just mind your own beeswax? So, they want (and will soon demand government pass restrictions) you to

  1. Tighten your guest list
  2. Pick a location where at least 50% of your guests won’t have to fly, and hire local vendors
  3. Consider meat alternatives and look into venues that compost (I’m guessing this will pare the guest list down, as everyone goes “Nah, we’re good”)
  4. Choose a venue that is powered by renewable energy
  5. Use rentals or thrift items for decor, clothing, and more
  6. Talk about it! (annoy the f*** out of everyone involved, so they all bow out)

Seriously, does anyone possibly think Taylor and Travis are going to say “hey, Yale Climate Connections has a good point, we should do this?”

DNC Caught Between Israel Hatred And Jew Hatred/Hamas Support

By William Teach August 27, 2025 – 7:00 am

The big wigs in the Party aren’t sure about going as far as their unhinged, Jew hating and Hamas supporting base wants

DNC punts on dueling Israel resolutions as Chair Ken Martin calls for bridging the divide

The Democratic National Committee delayed making a final decision on a pair of dueling resolutions on the U.S.-Israel relationship, with Chair Ken Martin calling for Democrats to “keep working through” an issue that continues to roil the party.

Democrats had appeared headed for a showdown on Tuesday as the DNC’s resolutions committee considered the competing resolutions, one of which called for a military arms embargo and suspension of military aid to Israel.

The committee initially voted to reject that measure while advancing the one backed by Martin, which called for “unrestricted” aid to Gaza and a two-state solution. But soon after the arms embargo vote failed, Martin announced he was withdrawing his successful resolution, after speaking briefly with the backers of the vote on the sidelines of the meeting.

“There’s a divide in our party on this issue,” Martin said, when announcing he’d pulled his resolution. “This is a moment that calls for shared dialogue, calls for shared advocacy.”

Has Martin seen what his voters are calling for?

He’s from Minneapolis, where they fly Hamas flags

The vote on the resolutions had become a kind of proxy battle for wings of the party — and a test of Democrats’ continued shift on Israel amid a brutal war with Hamas. Martin’s resolution represented a more traditionally mainstream compromise approach. But progressives had pushed the failed measure that called for an arms embargo and recognition of a Palestinian state.

They, like the Palestinians (which no other Muslim nation wants to let in), want Israel erased. The 2 state solution emboldens Hamas, Hezbollah, and the other Islamic terrorist groups.

The defeated resolution contained similar language to a Senate resolution led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) last month, which 44 senators — a majority of the Senate Democratic Caucus — signed onto. While that arms embargo resolution failed, it gained support from 12 new Democratic senators since the previous it had been considered, the latest in a series of signs that Democrats’ frustration is deepening with Israel’s conduct and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Funny how they never have anything bad to say about Hamas or how Palestinians give them shelter.

Some resolution committee members raised concerns that Minnerly’s resolution did not mention Hamas, and “I’d like to see the onus of a ceasefire, not only with the right-wing government but with Hamas, and it does not mention that,” said Harini Krishnan, a DNC member from California.

You won’t get it, Harini.
