850 People Are Still Missing In Maui

I have to wonder, why is this not bigger news? 850 Americans still missing? Why is news about Maui such low priority? Is it because Biden had no interest in visiting? Kinda like how the East Palestine train derailment was minimized after a few days?

850 people are still missing after Maui wildfires, mayor says

As of Monday morning, 850 people are still listed as missing after the the deadly Lahaina wildfire, Hawaii officials said, citing data compiled by the FBI and local authorities. In a video posted on social media, Maui County Mayor Richard Bissen said 114 people have been confirmed dead, 27 have been identified and 11 families have been notified.

Bissen said while more than 800 people are still missing, that list once contained 2,000 names. “To the tireless work of the FBI and the Maui Police Department, 1,285 individuals have been located safe,” he said. “We are both saddened and relieved about these numbers as we continue the recovery process.”

Bissen said there will be daily fluctuation to these numbers, and he urged those with immediate family members who are missing after the fires to provide DNA samples to help assist in the identification process. A Family Assistance Center has been set up at the Hyatt Regency Ka’anapali on Nohea Kai Drive for local people to provide those samples.

The mayor is not happy having to answer questions, though

How dare anyone ask him a question! Why is it so difficult for elected and other public employees to answer questions these days?

Climate Cultists Push Brandon To Declare Climate Emergency Or Something

Nothing makes more sense than taking a long fossil fueled jumbo jet to Hawaii, followed by a backup jumbo jet and several fighter jets, then jumping in a low MPG limo with a large retinue of fossil fueled vehicles, perhaps a fossil fueled helicopter ride and then declaring a climate emergency in an island state that would revert to 3rd world status without fossil fuels

Biden faces calls to declare climate emergency as he heads to Maui

As President Joe Biden prepares to visit Maui, the Hawaiian island devastated by the deadliest wildfire in U.S. modern history, lawmakers and climate groups are begging the White House to do more to prevent future climate-related disasters.

Their argument: If the latest environmental catastrophe won’t spur the president into action, what will?

The fires, likely sparked by the island’s electric utility and heightened by climate change impacts, swept through the Pacific paradise last week, killing at least 110 people and leaving the famed town of Lahaina smoldering in ruins. As survivors search for missing family members and friends, and a housing crisis unfolds amid the vast destruction, climate activists and members of Congress are urging Biden to declare a national emergency over climate change.

In case you haven’t noticed, that’s that climate cult cop-out: sure, it wasn’t caused by ‘climate change’, but, it was made worse. Because, apparently, it’s your fault that they imported non-native grasses that are like tinder. And failed to cut them back. And failed to use the warning sirens. And failed to turn the power off during high winds. And failed to provide the necessary water. The government knew about the potential for horrific fires all the way back in 2014.

Alongside climate groups, many of Biden’s allies in Congress have urged him to invoke emergency powers, which would enable the president to take sweeping action to restrain greenhouse gas production, implement large-scale clean transportation solutions and finance distributed energy projects, among other actions.

“The devastation in Maui is a clear sign that the president must declare a climate emergency — now. While FEMA is providing resources to the local heroes on the ground fighting for the lives and livelihoods of Hawaiians, the underlying climate-driven conditions of drought, extreme heat, environmental injustice, and non-resilient infrastructure will remain,” Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) said in a statement to POLITICO.

And not one reporter will ask Markey or any of the other Warmists saying this if they’ve given up their own use of fossil fuels and made their lives carbon neutral.

Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.), who has long called on Biden to take this step, said that if the devastation in Hawaii isn’t a national emergency, “what is?”

“I refuse to accept that people choosing between burning alive or jumping into the ocean for hours on end is our new normal. This is a crisis and we need to treat it that way. That starts with President Biden declaring a national climate emergency to unlock vast federal resources and emergency powers to help our communities prepare for and recover from these deadly climate disasters,” he added.

Never mentioned are the details of declaring a climate (scam) emergency. What power are involved? How will this effect citizen’s lives? What will they be forced to do? What will this cost them? As the saying goes, the devil’s in the details.

Meanwhile, Brandon will be flying out of Reno at 1140am east coast time, landing in Maui at 510pm east coast time, and leaving at 1125pm east coast time, which means he’s giving them about 4 hours of actual time. It should be interesting to see what he does. Will he visit Lahaina, going in when residents are not allowed back?

Of Course: Barren Disney Parks Blamed On Hotcoldwetdry

It really is a catchall excuse

Nolte: ‘Barren’ Disney Theme Parks Blamed on Climate Change

“Disney [theme park] attendance has dropped substantially,” reports Inside the Magic.com. The terms “ghost town” and “barren” are being used to describe this stunning turn of events.

What’s to blame? Well, I can tell what is certainly not to blame, and that’s having anything to do with Disney’s head-first dive into identity and sexual politics. No, no, no, no… Disney’s obsession with race and gender has done nothing to do with killing the magic—even though almost all of Disney’s movies are bombing and Disney+ is losing hundreds of thousands of subscribers and billions of dollars.

And Disney’s ongoing efforts to groom childing by seeding kiddie content with drag queens, transsexual propaganda, and homosexuality certainly has nothing to do with it. (snip)

Disney’s attendance has dropped substantially, but while there is worry about Bob Iger deceiving attendees and the area being a “ghost town,” the answer can also relate to something simpler: weather. While weather and climate change are inherently different, the impacts of climate change on Disney show in meteorological events.

Who wants to go to the theme park when it’s rained out? Why would you risk bringing the family to Disneyland Resort if there is smoke in the air from a fire? These events are getting more common, and the inability to plan for them is one huge way climate change impacts Disney.

That results in diminished theme park attendance, simply due to safety reasons. Climate change impacts Disney, without a doubt, and the impacts extend from Disneyland Paris to any Walt Disney Parks location across the globe. (the italic is from the “ghost town” link)

Except, other theme parks, such as Universal, are doing just fine. And it has always been hot and humid in Florida, and always a good chance of an afternoon storm. Virtually every single wildfire is from someone either being stupid, negligent, or intentional. And some lightning strikes, which have always happened.

But those lies won’t work for the Disney Grooming Syndicate. The DGS is a business. It must make profits, or it goes out of business. Having sycophants blame Climate Change (which is a hoax) might soothe Wall Street for a little while, but the bottom line is the bottom line, and propaganda keeps only governments in business, not corporations.

Disney is hemorrhaging cash and customers. If other parks are doing well, why not Disney? You can bet that a ton of visitors from Asia at the California park are avoiding it because they do not like the grooming stuff. It doesn’t play well in Asia, be it China, South Korea, Japan, or others. And many, many visit California.

Besides, wouldn’t the Warmists want Disney gone, since people take lots and lots of fossil fueled travel to get there, plus the huge amount of fossil fuels and energy required to run Disney?

Georgia Election Workers Will Get Justice In Trump Prosecution

But, hey, remember, this is all about the legal justice system, which is blind, right?

Georgia Trump indictment invokes justice for election workers

Sprinkled throughout the sweeping Georgia indictment covering every aspect of former President Trump’s effort to overturn the state’s 2020 election are references to one woman: poll worker Ruby Freeman.

The Fulton County election staffer was helping count ballots in the state when she was singled out by Trump and his then-attorney Rudy Giuliani and accused of mishandling ballots, sparking a wave of threats against Freeman and her daughter, Shaye Moss.

Freeman’s name appears some 40 times in the indictment, a detail Gwen Keyes Fleming, a former district attorney (DA) in Georgia, said reflects that there are “actual identifiable victims that the DA’s office is sworn to protect,” in addition to the voters in the state whose will Trump sought to deny.

“This indictment is an attempt to also recognize the alleged individual victimization of a poll worker who was simply trying to be of service to her county,” Keyes Fleming said.

Well, DA Fani Willis better hope the Trump team doesn’t have any damaging information on Freeman

Freeman spoke to investigators from the House committee reviewing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, recounting how she and her daughter, another former election worker, faced a harassment campaign following the accusations.

“Do you know how it feels to have the president of the United States target you?” Freeman asked in her deposition, which aired during one of the committee’s public hearings. “The president of the United States is supposed to represent every American, not to target one.”

What did she have to do with J6? Further, Obama and Biden have made it quite clear they did not/do not represent every American, just the ones that agree with them.

Let’s be honest, though: this insane indictment against Trump will never go to trial. It’s way too insane, it violates multiple Georgia and US Constitutional provisions, it contains hundreds of thousands of pages, which certainly will see Trump’s council unable to go through all of it. A judge may well quash it before it starts as an over-reach and a partisan political witchhunt. It’s really meant to jam up Trump and his legal team, make him spend money on this instead of his campaign, make it difficult to campaign, and put you citizens who do not agree with Democrats on notice that you could be next. It’s lawfare. When do all the Democrats who complained about elections get prosecuted?

More: what the hell is this?

‘Dr. King Is Smiling’: Atlanta Takes Center Stage in the Political Trial of the Century

Here, at the Fulton County Courthouse, smack dab in downtown Atlanta, the vibe is decidedly hushed. In the coming months, this 112-year-old courthouse will be aswarm with activity — ground zero in the battle over democracy — when 19 defendants, including a former president, will stand trial for allegedly trying to overturn an election. But that legal reckoning is many months away. Right now, the only evidence of what’s to come are the barricades stretching up and down the block and a battalion of TV trucks camped out across the street, waiting. There is the sense of life put on pause, an anxious sort of calm before the judicial storm.

I’m here, having hopped on a plane from DC, traveling to my hometown to see how the ATL is handling being the site of what is likely to be the political trial of the century. I spent my adolescence here, and I’ve got deep, Old School, Old Guard, Black Atlanta roots. But having absconded from the city many years ago, I’m always amazed at how my once sleepy Southern burg has morphed into the Hollywood of the South, a sprawling metropolis — accounting for nearly half the population of the entire state of Georgia — complete with movie studiosrecord labelstech startups and traffic. Lots and lots and lots of traffic.

Back in the day, Atlanta was the cradle of the civil rights movement, home to activist icons like Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, Sr., Julian Bond, Rep. John Lewis and C.T. Vivian, a hub of Black exceptionalism. That’s a history the city wears consciously, as evidenced here by the plethora of murals, museums and streets — some named after the parents and grandparents of kids I grew up with. And now Atlanta, the so-called Black Mecca, is the epicenter of a fight over the peaceful transfer of power. As I tool around Atlanta, I encounter Atlantans who are very conscious of the significance of this trial — and of how, once again, their city will play an important role in making American history.

Huh what? How did they make a jump to something racial? Some people can never move past their racial beliefs, it’s their whole identity. Perhaps they should wonder why so many non-blacks have moved out of Atlanta into the suburbs, and why Atlanta has a pretty poor crime rate. The article is just full of racialism, very, very silly.

Strange: Queens Residents Are Upset Over Putting A Bunch Of Illegals In The Neighborhood

Why are they upset? This is what they consistently vote for, unfettered illegal immigration. Why are they not opening their own doors?

EXCLUSIVE: Migrants Transferred from Bronx Hotel to Queens Village Tents — Locals Protest Move

Migrant asylum seekers staying at a Bronx hotel in New York City were promptly evicted on Thursday and taken to a soft-sided shelter in Queens Village, according to one of those moved. Despite recent protests by local residents concerned about the arrival of an expected 1,000 single adult migrants, the transfers from the Bronx hotel began Thursday afternoon. Migrants were bused in, taken to an intake room, and processed into the facility by New York City homeless shelter staff members.

The shelter, near the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens, has been the site of protests carried out by residents near the shelter who are unhappy with the expected arrival of up to 1,000 single adult migrants being transferred from New York City hotels. According to Mayor Eric Adams, single adult migrants are moving from the hotels to make way for migrant family units. Breitbart Texas received photographs of the migrant transfer process from a Venezuelan migrant formerly residing at the Bronx hotel.

The government of the Sanctuary City of New York was nice enough to provide a letter to the illegals telling them they’re being shipped out. Interestingly

If you cannot move to Queens, and you have an alternative place to go, or if you wish to return to your country of origin, we beg that you notify us as soon as possible. We will do everything possible to help you during this transition.

Go home? How about just telling them to stay home? Oh, and the Democrat for NY’s 4th District, Gregory Meeks, won 75.1 to Paul King (R) at 24.8, so, yeah, most of those people complaining voted Democrat.

Say, What Are The Best TikTok Dances To Stop Global Boiling?

The NY Times is taking us down a whole new stupid road, and doesn’t even realize it

With TikTok and Lawsuits, Gen Z Takes on Climate Change

As Kaliko Teruya was coming home from her hula lesson on August 8, her father called. The apartment in Lahaina was gone, he said, and he was running for his life.

He was trying to escape the deadliest American wildfire in more than a century, an inferno in Hawaii fueled by powerful winds from a faraway hurricane and barely hindered by the state’s weak defenses against natural disasters.

Her father survived. But for Kaliko, 13, the destruction of the past week has reinforced her commitment to a cause that is coming to define her generation.

“The fire was made so much worse due to climate change,” she said. “How many more natural disasters have to happen before grown-ups realize the urgency?”

Like a growing number of young people, Kaliko is engaged in efforts to raise awareness about global warming and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, last year she and 13 other young people, age 9 to 18, sued their home state, Hawaii, over its use of fossil fuels.

Have they all given up their own use of fossil fuels? No?

With active lawsuits in five states, TikTok videos that mix humor and outrage, and marches in the streets, it’s a movement that is seeking to shape policy, sway elections and shift a narrative that its proponents say too often emphasizes climate catastrophes instead of the need to make the planet healthier and cleaner.

TikTok is considered the worst of all social media for their “carbon footprint.” And it entices users to travel all over to make their videos. Hawaii wouldn’t survive without fossil fuels, but, hey, let’s see them try. Every experiment needs an experimental group, right?

Chief among the frustrations of Mr. Artis and his cohort was the administration’s decision to approve Willow, a huge drilling project in Alaska. Early this year, TikTok erupted with calls for the White House to deny approvals for the project, thrusting the issue into the mainstream and giving thousands of young people a common cause. Creators juxtaposed images of Mr. Biden with collapsing glaciers, recorded tearful selfie videos and mashed up songs from “Encanto” with slide shows of cute animals.

The thing about using social media is that it’s easy. People do not really have to do much of anything. Just a quick post, a stupid video with a dance or something, and that’s it.
