Women’s Soccer Team To Change Name After Gender Confused Freakout

By William Teach March 15, 2025 – 10:30 am

It just goes to show that some people are entirely too sensitive and moonbat

Women’s soccer team to change name after transgender backlash to marketing campaign

The National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) Boston-based expansion team announced Friday that it will be changing its name. The change comes after a wave of transgender backlash to a marketing campaign it abandoned back in October.

The team was set to be named BOS Nation FC, which it announced in a branding event in the fall alongside a marketing campaign that featured the slogan “Too Many Balls.” The slogan prompted intense backlash from the transgender community, including an NWSL player.

A transgender player who goes by the singular name Quinn, who plays for the Seattle Reign, spoke out against the team’s branding announcement in a post on Instagram.

“Feels transphobic. Yikes,” Quinn wrote.

Really? That’s it? “Too many balls”?

The team quickly abandoned the slogan, issued a public apology for it, and even thanked those who spoke out against it.

“We fully acknowledge that the content of the campaign did not reflect the safe and welcoming environment we strive to create for all, and we apologize to the LGBTQ+ community and to the trans community in particular for the hurt we caused,” the statement said.

“Thank you to all who have held us accountable by calling for us to do better. We hear you and we will, together,” said another statement.

Good grief. They’re even going to change the name of the soccer team, which, IMO, is not a bad idea, because it’s a stupid name. This might work well for soccer teams in Europe, but, not the U.S. Of course, they’re changing it for uber-Woke and fear of a tiny percentage of the US population which has mental illness. It seems the team is more concerned with patronizing them than enticing everyone else to come support the team.

Meanwhile, the gender confused are upset about not being allowed to invade women’s spaces

NOAA Suspends Monthly Media Calls On Climate Doom

By William Teach March 15, 2025 – 7:15 am

Is the job of the NOAA to spread fearmongering on how the World Is Going To End? Nope

Scoop: NOAA monthly media calls on climate change suspended

Monthly press calls featuring NOAA scientists detailing global climate conditions during the previous month have been suspended indefinitely, the agency told Axios.

Why it matters: While the data is still being provided publicly, a reduction in press coverage could reduce public awareness of climate change trends and NOAA research.

Zoom in: The monthly U.S. and global climate calls typically feature climate scientists from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) in Asheville, N.C.

They have been held each month for years, including during the first Trump administration and George W. Bush administration, both of which sought to edit climate science reports.

On these calls, reporters are typically briefed on the previous month’s U.S. and global average temperatures, and trends during the year-to-date.

Have any reporters asked why the data is constantly being changed so that the past looks cooler to make the current look warmer?

According to two sources outside the agency who were privy to deliberations from current employees, NCEI had trouble recruiting scientists to volunteer to be on the calls for fear of angering the administration by discussing human-caused global warming.

Good. There’s no need for a cult in the federal government.

What they’re saying: NOAA blamed the call suspension on a lack of staffing in the wake of cuts and in preparation for further layoffs.

“Due to the loss of a significant number of staff resulting from the recent release of probationary employees, the Deferred Resignation Program and employees retiring, NCEI will no longer be able to support the monthly NOAA Communications media briefing on the U.S. and global temperature and precipitation analyses and associated products,” an agency spokesperson stated via email.

Oh, well. Let me pull out the little violin.

Bummer: Second Columbia Hamas Supporter Arrested

By William Teach March 15, 2025 – 7:00 am

And a 3rd has self deported

Second anti-Israel Columbia protester, Leqaa Kordia, arrested by Homeland Security for immigration violations — as third self-deports and flees to Canada

A second protester who took part in anti-Israel demonstrations at Columbia University has been nabbed by immigration officials, who also revoked the visa of another student “for advocating for violence and terrorism,” sources said Friday.

Leqaa Kordia, a Palestinian who hails from the West Bank, was busted by Homeland Security agents Thursday for alleged immigration violations related to overstaying on an expired student visa, the sources said.

Kordia — who was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Newark, New Jersey — was first arrested in April 2024 for taking part in one of the protests on Columbia’s campus while overstaying on her twice-canceled student visa, according to the sources. (big snip)

Kordia first entered the US in 2016 on a tourist visa and obtained a student visa the next year, sources said. But in 2021, the feds terminated her visa for lack of attendance. She applied to have her revoked visa reinstated and was approved later that year.

But she again failed to attend classes, leading the feds to again terminate her visa in 2022.

So, she should have been forced to leave the US in 2022, as her visa was done. Kaput. She wasn’t here being a student. Instead, she decided to advocate for the death of Jews and Americans, to harass Jews, to call for the eradication of Israel and the overthrow of the US government in favor, in both cases, of an Islamic government. They showed their support for Hamas and Islamic terrorism.

And then there’s Ranjani Srinivasan, who came in on a student visa on January 19, 2024. And

As part of her visa process, she failed to disclose that on April 30, 2024, she received court summonses for obstructing vehicular or pedestrian traffic and unlawful congregation and refusal to disperse, both related to protests, according to sources.

These are violations of student visas, which would lead to revocation

AG Bondi To Go After Those Torching Teslas

By William Teach March 14, 2025 – 3:00 pm

Climate cult: “Everyone must buy an EV! We love EVs! The Government must force manufacturers to mostly make EVs!”

AG Pam Bondi announces investigation into Tesla vandalism, threatens no-holds-barred criminal charges

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is laying down the law when it comes to a recent surge in alleged vandalism on Tesla cars, charging stations and dealerships.

“They are targeting Tesla dealerships, the stations where you charge a Tesla. They’re vandalizing cars. I have already directed an investigation be opened to see, how is this being funded? Who is behind this, doing this?” Bondi said on “Mornings with Maria” Friday.

“We have people we’re locking up on that.”

Tesla car owners, dealerships and charging stations have been targeted nationwide by protesters and vandals because of Elon Musk’s involvement with the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which aims to slash wasteful spending and fraud within the federal government.

This is, in fact, the hill that the Democratic Party base wants to die on. And many of them are going to go to jail. I bet these people were super enthused over the FBI and other federal agencies using every resource they could to identify and arrest and jail grandmas walking peacefully though the halls of Congress on J6. I bet they haven’t considered that those same methods can be used to identify those protesting violently as well as torching Teslas and attacking the buildings, eh? The left is all for violent protest as long as it is themselves doing it.

Earlier this week, protesters struck an Oregon Tesla dealership, located 10 miles south of Portland, which was targeted by gunshots Thursday, damaging multiple cars and shattering windows, according to the AP.

Several Tesla charging stations have also been set on fire in Massachusetts. Seemingly non-violent rallies have also been held at Tesla dealerships in Michigan and New York City. (snip)

“We have someone in jail right now from one of the dealerships. They threw a Molotov cocktail through a dealership. They’re looking at up to 20 years in prison,” Bondi revealed.

“So if you’re going to touch a Tesla, go to a dealership, do anything – you better watch out, because we’re coming after you,” the AG continued. “And if you’re funding this, we’re coming after you. We’re going to find out who you are.”

And then we’ll hear bleating from Democrats and their pet news media that these are political prisoners.

Hopefully the full tweet shows up, ending with “It was never about the climate. It was about controlling you.” Lachlan Phillips, a former member of Extinction Rebellion, who made lots of videos for them, has an interesting response along the lings of that quote. Well worth the read. It’s everything I’ve been saying for 20 years.

PRC Considers Cuts As Cost Of Illegal Alien Healthcare Is Way Over Estimates

By William Teach March 14, 2025 – 10:30 am

I wonder where the People’s Republik Of California will do cuts? Will they start spending the money on actual American citizen residents of California, or cut elsewhere so they can keep helping illegals and fake asylum seekers?

Cost of undocumented healthcare in California is billions over estimates, pressuring Democrats to consider cuts

Americans before illegalsGov. JB Pritzker proposed a $330-million budget cut last month to scale back an expansion of healthcare coverage for undocumented adult immigrants in Illinois, where a state audit found that services for certain age groups exceeded estimates by more than 280%.

California soon may face the same financial pressure to reduce coverage.

California became the first state in the nation to offer healthcare to all income-eligible immigrants one year ago, which gave Gov. Gavin Newsom another liberal achievement to tout when lauding the Golden State as a national trailblazer.

But the $9.5-billion price tag of California’s program is already more than $3 billion above the budget estimate from last summer and is expected to grow even higher. In Sacramento, the governor and Democrats in the state Legislature now are under pressure to reduce coverage to bring down costs during a budget crunch.

How many homeless could be helped with that currently $9.5 billion? How many many Americans in California could be helped by lowering their own health care costs? How about helping the lower income folks with food and aid? How about implementing constant measures to do things that reduce wildfires?

Obviously, with Trump and Elon Derangement Syndrome running rampant through the LA Times, they spend a bunch of paragraphs whining. Then

The scale of the funding reduction to Medicaid is still unknown and it’s impossible to project the severity of the cuts for California with any certainty. Republicans in the House have suggested cutting $880 billion across the federal government, a significant portion of which would have to come from Medicaid.

“If you pull $10 billion out of California healthcare annually, that’s a lot of dough and that’s going to have very serious impacts that would ripple across every sector of the healthcare delivery system from hospitals, physicians, home care, nursing homes and to services that millions depend on,” said David Panush, a healthcare policy consultant who worked in the state Capitol for decades, about potential federal cuts.

Well, don’t spend on illegals. Use it for American citizens in the PRC. Besides, how much of the cuts is simply removing fraud, waste, and abuse from the allocation? Where the money has to be used for the intended purpose, rather than being turned into a slush fund and such?

Absent federal cuts, California’s financial footing already was so shaky that Newsom proposed taking $7.1 billion from the state’s rainy day fund, which acts like a savings account to buffer the budget during an economic crisis, to cover the cost of state programs next year. DeMaio has argued the state wouldn’t need to break open its piggy bank if Democrats cut healthcare for undocumented immigrants.

It’s not actually raining: it’s more like you turned all the faucets on upstairs, stopped the sinks and tubs up, and then went to work, and are shocked that water is dropping down into the first floor. You did this.

Newsom grew the Medi-Cal coverage pool to include all income-eligible immigrants in California under a multiyear expansion by age categories that began in 2020 and concluded in 2024.

But the program has been plagued by cost overruns since it started.

“Cost overruns.” To the tune of $3.1 billion to help out illegals. How much is mismanagement and fraud, etc? How much is going into the pockets of NGOs, campaign donors, etc, and never helped? A slush fund? How about auditing the program? But, hey, Californian’s who voted Democrat need to not complain if the cuts hit themselves, or if taxes go up, because they voted for this.

ICE should not bother with California at this time. Clear the illegals out of states that voted for Trump, leave them in Blue states for the time being. Let them deal with the consequences of supporting unfettered illegal immigration.

Bummer: Bill Gates Funded Climate (scam) Group Cuts Staff

By William Teach March 14, 2025 – 7:15 am

But, but, but, if the planet is Doomed unless we Do Something, this shouldn’t happen

Climate Group Funded by Bill Gates Slashes Staff in Major Retreat

electric vehicleBreakthrough Energy, an umbrella organization funded by Bill Gates that works on a sprawling range of climate issues, announced deep cuts to its operations in an internal memo on Tuesday.

Dozens of staff members were cut, including Breakthrough Energy’s unit in Europe, its team in the United States working on public policy issues and most of its employees working on partnerships with other climate organizations, according to three people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to speak publicly.

The change shows how Mr. Gates is retooling his empire for the Trump era. With Republicans controlling both houses of Congress and the White House, Mr. Gates calculated that the Breakthrough policy team in the United States was not likely to have a significant effect in Washington, said the people familiar with his thinking. The U.S. policy team was also one of the largest and most expensive parts of the organization.

So, why not talk directly to people, and entice them to change their own lives to match the needs of Saving The Planet? Was it more about getting Los Federales to force the peasants to live a certain life?

Instead of trying to influence policy, Mr. Gates is now focused on building clean energy companies through the Breakthrough Energy Catalyst program, Breakthrough Energy Ventures and the Breakthrough Energy Fellows, the people familiar with the matter said. Those efforts, which fund start-up companies and entrepreneurs working on a range of renewable technologies, were not affected by the cuts.

Companies, but, not actually building “clean energy”?

But on climate change, Mr. Gates has not been as outspoken. Like other billionaires and chief executives who once spoke up loudly about climate change, Mr. Gates went silent in the face of Mr. Trump’s early efforts to reduce federal support for clean energy, promote fossil fuels and dismantle the government programs aimed at addressing climate change.

So, it was really just climavirtue signalling, not any sort of real belief. Like most of the Elites. They talk the talk, do not walk the walk.

Schumer Basically Surrenders, Will Vote For Funding The Government

By William Teach March 14, 2025 – 7:00 am

If only we could get a real budget, and one that cuts spending, first by cutting waste, fraud, and idiocy. Politico has it like this

Democrats should back away from shutdown, Schumer says

Back away, eh? The HuffPost says it more succinctly

Chuck Schumer Will Vote To Advance GOP Funding Bill, Signaling Surrender

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced on Thursday that he would vote to advance Republican legislation funding the government, likely easing the way for the bill’s passage as early as Friday.

“While the [continuing resolution] is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse,” Schumer said in a speech on the Senate floor. “Allowing Donald Trump to take even more power is a far worse option.”

“Under a shutdown, Trump and Elon Musk would have carte blanche to destroy vital government services at a significantly faster rate than they can right now,” he added.

The New York Democrat did not urge other Democrats to vote for the bill, but it was a clear signal for his colleagues to hold their noses and vote to avert a shutdown.

Say what you will about Chuck, he’s not an idiot, and he knows that, after bloviating and stuff for a few days, Americans will blame Democrats for a shutdown, and, yeah, Trump and DOGE will have more power to do their thing. And the headline at the NY Times says

Trump Administration Live Updates: Schumer Says Enough Democrats Will Vote to Avert Government Shutdown

All they have to do is vote to end cloture, get their 60 votes, and then none of them have to actually vote for the CR.

EPA Head Drives A Dagger Into Climate Scam And Extreme-Enviro Regulations

By William Teach March 13, 2025 – 3:24 pm

But, before that, let’s see the latest uber-scaremongering from the cult

Climate change is wreaking havoc on Earth. Soon it will mess up its orbit

Sounds scary, right? And the UK Independent is depending on the old maxim that you need 30 seconds or 3 paragraphs to get your point across. The whole article is actually about the “study” that low earth orbit is shrinking, which I mentioned the other day. The headline makes it seem as if the orbit around the Sun will be messed up. Scumbags in the news media

Trump’s EPA Chief Says He Just Drove ‘Dagger’ Through Climate Change Rules

Calling it the “most consequential day of deregulation in American history,” Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin announced a sweeping rollback of landmark environmental regulations on Wednesday, targeting rules on coal-fired power plant pollution, climate change policies, and electric vehicles. (snip)

Zeldin wrote about his deregulation efforts in an essay for The Wall Street Journal published Wednesday afternoon.

“We are driving a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion and ushering in America’s Golden Age,” Zeldin wrote.

Too bad he didn’t call it a doomsday cult, but, that he called it a religion makes me smile

The Trump administration’s efforts will eliminate trillions in regulatory costs and “hidden taxes,” Zeldin said, lowering the cost of living for American families by reducing expenses on essentials like buying a car, heating a home, and running a business.

“Our actions will also reignite American manufacturing, spreading economic benefits to communities,” he added.

I suspect most of the non-climate scam environmental regulations are just regulations for regulations sake. Things that do not actually help the environment, but, keep the EPA employees busy and let them throw their weight around.

He pointed to regulations such as the Clean Power Plan, which established carbon emissions limits for coal power plants, the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, and Particulate Matter 2.5 levels as policies the EPA is “reconsidering” under his watch.

The EPA is also working to end Good Neighbor Plan emission requirements, implemented by the Biden administration to reduce ozone-forming emissions of nitrogen oxides.

“Energy dominance stands at the center of America’s resurgence. By reconsidering rules that throttled oil and gas production and unfairly targeted coal-fired power plants, we are ensuring that American energy remains clean, affordable, and reliable,” Zeldin wrote.

Those rules do virtually nothing except empower bureaucrats and raise costs for consumers. I mean, the Supreme Court already shot the Clean Power Plan down, though, the EPA kept trying to enforce it. Next up they need to wack the EV mandate/
