Sec State Rubio Sanctions Wacko America And Israel Hating UN Official

By William Teach July 10, 2025 – 7:00 am

Rubio should sanction most UN officials

Watchdog backs Rubio’s sanctions on UN official over ‘shameful efforts’ targeting US, Israel

The Biden-era kid gloves are off.

On Wednesday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the United States is imposing sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the controversial United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on Palestinian rights.

“Albanese’s campaign of political and economic warfare against the United States and Israel will no longer be tolerated,” Rubio posted on X. “We will always stand by our partners in their right to self-defense.”

Albanese has pushed to haul U.S. and Israeli officials before the International Criminal Court (ICC), drawing outrage from lawmakers, diplomats, and human rights advocates alike.

In multiple reports and public comments since her 2022 appointment, Albanese has accused Israel of apartheid and dismissed Hamas violence as “not surprising.” According to her July 2025 report to the UN Human Rights Council, Albanese claimed the U.S. may be ‘liable for the international crime of aggression’ for President Trump’s strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites.

Us usual, she has nothing bad to say about Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, or any Islamic extremists.

Hillel Neuer, Executive Director of UN Watch, weighed in with a statement to Fox News Digital, writing: “This is a bold and courageous move by Secretary Rubio. No UN official — in this case, a purported official, as her reappointment was illegal — has ever been sanctioned before in history. Then again, no UN official has ever been condemned for Holocaust distortion and antisemitism by France, Germany, Canada, and both Democratic and Republican US administrations.”

“She will never again spread her poison on American campuses or enter the country. Justice is served. Good triumphs over evil.”

Good

(State Department) She has recently escalated this effort by writing threatening letters to dozens of entities worldwide, including major American companies across finance, technology, defense, energy, and hospitality, making extreme and unfounded accusations and recommending the ICC pursue investigations and prosecutions of these companies and their executives. We will not tolerate these campaigns of political and economic warfare, which threaten our national interests and sovereignty.

The United States will continue to take whatever actions we deem necessary to respond to lawfare, to check and prevent illegitimate ICC overreach and abuse of power, and to protect our sovereignty and that of our allies.

Albanese is being designated pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii)(A) of Executive Order (E.O.) 14203.

Rubio doesn’t really say what the penalties are, but, most likely, per the EO, she will only be allowed to fly into a NYC airport and go right to UN property. She won’t be allowed to travel around the US at all. If she happens to own property, it can be seized. She may do no commerce with the US. Good riddance.

Your Suggested Fault: Excess Deaths In Europe From Heat Wave

By William Teach July 9, 2025 – 3:45 pm

Research suggests that the universe circles the Earth, you know.

Research Suggests Climate Change Added Excess Deaths in European Heat Wave

Sherman Potter Bull CookiesDays after an intense, record-breaking heat wave sweltered wide swaths of Europe, a group of scientists released a rapid analysis estimating the extent to which climate change might have amplified the heat wave’s death toll.

The World Weather Attribution study was the first of its kind to produce a rapid assessment of deaths linked to climate change from a heat wave, researchers said. They estimate that the influence of climate change may have tripled the death toll.

Records of actual observed deaths during this heat wave will not be available for months, so researchers used historical temperature data and established mortality trends to approximate the number of excess deaths expected to have occurred because of heat. The scientists examined 12 European cities, focusing on the hottest five-day stretch between June 23 and July 2 for each.

The heatish wave just ended in what is called “summer”, and they already have a study that suggests and approximates and estimates? That’s not science, that’s politics.

The researchers used historical temperature data to determine how intense the heat wave would have been in those cities without global warming, and estimated how many deaths would have been expected to occur in that scenario. They used that information to determine how many additional deaths were caused by climate change.

The analysis found that in the 12 cities, 1,500 of 2,300 estimated heat deaths could be connected to climate change, compared with a toll of roughly 770 without its effects. The researchers noted that the cities in the study represented only a sliver of the total number of excess deaths believed to have occurred throughout the rest of Europe.

Even if true, that in no way proves anthropogenic causation, just that it is, again, a typical Holocene warm period which also has higher temps in cities from UHI and land use. What about the huge European heatwave of 1757, during the Little Ice Age? Was that from fossil fuels? How about the 1540 heatwave and drought? They were pretty darned hot.

In turning the analysis around quickly, the researchers said they hoped to draw the attention of the public and policymakers to the dangers of extreme heat.
“When people are experiencing the heat waves, and in the immediate aftermath, is when people talk about it — when people connect their experience with the scientific evidence we can provide,”

Dr. Otto said. “If we sort of wade through peer review, and wait a year, then that experience is long gone.”

Then this is not science, it’s political advocacy.

Bummer: Miami Herald Uncovers Giant Bugs And Heat At Alligator Alcatraz

By William Teach July 9, 2025 – 10:30 am

Is the Miami Herald familiar with Florida? It’ll be more fun when the pythons and iguanas show up. But, there’s more fun with the article as there is absolutely no first-hand knowledge

Giant bugs, heat and a hospital visit: Inside Alligator Alcatraz’s first days

The calls from Alligator Alcatraz’s first detainees brought distressing news: Toilets that didn’t flush. Temperatures that went from freezing to sweltering. A hospital visit. Giant bugs. And little or no access to showers or toothbrushes, much less confidential calls with attorneys.

The stories, relayed to the Miami Herald by the wives of detainees housed in Florida’s makeshift detention center for migrants in the Everglades, offer the first snapshots of the conditions inside the newly opened facility, which began accepting detainees on July 2. They reveal detainees who are frightened not just about being deported, but also about how they are being treated by the government, which is saying little about what is taking place inside.

So, this is all about what wives of illegal aliens, a goodly chunk of whom are felonious criminals, saying something. Nothing is verified. No first-hand knowledge. Just hearsay from people with an axe to grind because their husbands are in federal custody for criminal and civil violations. This is modern journalism, at least when it’s meant to get Republicans. They should have held a poll to see if Americans actually care.

“Why would we treat a human like that?” a woman whose Venezuelan husband is housed in Alligator Alcatraz told the Miami Herald. “They come here for a better life. I don’t understand. We are supposed to be the greatest nation under God, but we forget that we’re under God.”

They violated federal law by crossing the border, then committed serious crimes. There could be some who were flown in by the Biden regime, then committed serious crimes. They can all avoid being at Alligator Alcatraz by self deporting.

The men, whose identities the Herald is withholding due to their families’ fears that the government will punish them for speaking out, described harsh conditions at the detention center, pitched as a new model for holding migrants ensnared in President Donald Trump’s war on illegal immigration. The state, which intends to eventually house 3,000 or more people at the site, has said the detainees’ descriptions provided to the Herald are “untrue.”

“Bugs and environmental factors are minimized in the facility, restraints are only utilized during transport outside of the detention centers, and visitation arrangements can be made upon request,” said Stephanie Hartman, a spokeswoman for the state Division of Emergency Management, the state agency overseeing the facility’s operations. “All plumbing systems are working and operational.”

Did the three article writers request they be allowed to visit the site prior to writing the article? Nothing in the article says they did.

The women told the Herald that their husbands were unable to shower for several days after arriving. On Sunday, two women said their husbands complained that initially there was no water to flush toilets. All three detainees told their wives that the bugs were getting inside, one of them saying that grasshoppers the size of his hand were springing into the tent and that the biggest mosquitoes he had ever seen were flying over them in their cells.

Um, Florida. This is Florida. People have these in their homes and places of work.

A fourth detainee, Cuban reggaeton artist Leamsy Izquierdo told CBS News and other local media outlets that the lights are on inside the facility 24 hours a day, a detail that was corroborated by a Venezuelan detainee’s wife interviewed by the Herald. Izquierdo was transferred to the Everglades site after landing in Miami-Dade’s Turner Guilford Knight Correction Center on assault and battery charges. He has pleaded not guilty.

No mention that he was arrested for aggravated assault with a firearm and simple assault. He could simply request he be allowed to leave the country. Anyhow, does the Miami Herald realize people in prison face tough conditions, and no one really cares because they are criminals?

Rich Folks Worried About Global Boiling Driven Storms Build Better Homes In Path Of Storms

By William Teach July 9, 2025 – 7:00 am

If these people were truly worried about the Doom from coastal storms they wouldn’t, you know, build homes at the coast, right?

Coastal homeowners turn to climate-resilient designs to combat worsening hurricane seasons

Forecasters are warning the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, which started June 1, could be an above-average year, potentially producing up to 19 named storms and 5 major hurricanes, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. As storms grow stronger and more frequent, a growing number of homeowners along the East and Gulf Coast are taking a proactive approach — building smarter, more resilient homes designed to withstand the forces of nature.

They do this every year, fearmongering about doom, despite every year being a threat from tropical systems. Some years will be bad, some won’t. It’s dealer’s choice. This truly highlights how much this has all be politicized.

In Crystal River, Florida, Gene Tener’s home stands out in more ways than one. Unlike most others in the area, his home is round — a design that does more than just offer panoramic views.

He said it initially drew curiosity from neighbors, but the house has already endured six hurricanes in five years, including Hurricane Helene, a Category 4 storm that struck the Gulf Coast in September. Research from Climate Central shows that human-caused climate change is warming ocean waters, which is fueling stronger and more intense hurricanes. Stronger storms often lead to more damage and higher insurance rates.

It’s pretty much not a bad idea to build more resistant homes, like they try and do in Tornado Alley. But, now they want to do it because of climate doom. I’m not going to get into all the stronger hurricanes, more hurricanes, fewer but stronger, etc yet again.

The aerodynamic shape of Tener’s home is built to reduce wind pressure by 30%. Inside, trusses fan out like spokes on a bicycle wheel, distributing storm forces to help keep the roof in place.

“You worry about the wind blowing off the roof,” Tener said of the main concerns for any home during a hurricane. “You worry about the rain. And you worry about flooding.”

Anchored deep into the ground, the home also includes flood vents to relieve water pressure and protect the foundation. With these features, the house is rated to withstand 190-mile-per-hour winds — a very strong Category 5 hurricane.

What they don’t say is how much it is. I guess this is for the rich folks who have the luxury of being climate cult members. But, realistically, Crystal River, Florida, is barely above sea level. You have to go at least 10 miles west before they land starts jumping higher. If you’re so worried you do not build there.

Fired USAID Leftists Plotting To Stop Trump Or Something

By William Teach July 9, 2025 – 6:45 am

It would be a whole lot smarter and a better use of their time if they looked for jobs, right?

From the link

Some of the democracy-building experts President Donald Trump fired this year from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department are now reapplying the skills and knowledge they built up over decades to undermine Trump’s power.

For years, these officials were stationed across the globe actively supporting opposition movements in autocratic nations. Now they’ve got time, a network of former colleagues and a growing sense of moral indignation.

“Take it from those of us who worked in authoritarian countries: We’ve become one,” said a currently employed federal official, who spoke to NOTUS on condition of anonymity. “They were so quick to disband AID, the group that supposedly instigates color revolutions. But they’ve done a very foolish thing. You just released a bunch of well-trained individuals into your population. If you kept our offices going and had us play solitaire in the office, it might have been safer to keep your regime.”

The former officials tell NOTUS they’re holding workshops on a tactic called “noncooperation.” They’re building a network of government workers willing to engage in even minor acts of rebellion in the office. And they’re planting the seeds of what they hope could become a nationwide general strike.

Oh, good, more workers Trump can fire. And the Supreme Court just ruled that the Trump admin, can, in fact, fire and reorganize federal Executive Branch agencies. They should start working on their resumes.

“Widespread practice of simple sabotage will harass and demoralize enemy administrators and police,” it says. “The saboteur may have to reverse his thinking… where he formerly thought of keeping his tools sharp, he should now let them grow dull; surfaces that formerly were lubricated now should be sanded; normally diligent, he should now be lazy and careless.”

Hmm, looking to be prosecuted, too!

“Getting people to understand that it’s part of a process is the training,” she told NOTUS. “It feels silly. ‘Why are we going to get ice cream?’ You’re building up that muscle and that bravery, and you’re building up your numbers. Today it starts with four, but tomorrow it’s 10. We’re helping them understand that is the organizing, and that is the process to get to a massive strike.”

Without skipping a beat, several pointed to “Star Wars” and said the show “Andor” is nothing short of a manual.

“Fascism is not creative,” said one former government expert in conflict. “There’s only so many ways to do it. That’s why it’s almost cliché to the point where we ask, ‘What are we, Darth Vader? The Empire? The Nazis?’ The comparisons draw ridicule because people who don’t know enough about it don’t realize there aren’t too many ways to do it. So, the tactics to counter them will still work, and there’s way more ways to be creative.”

These are very silly people. Ice cream breaks and Star Wars watch parties.

ZOMG: Trump Hires Scientists Who Think The Climate Crisis Scam Is A Scam

By William Teach July 8, 2025 – 4:44 pm

This has given the NY Times a big sad. How quick does this turn into cult propaganda?

Trump Hires Scientists Who Doubt the Consensus on Climate Change

climate doom yearly

Wait, I don’t have global heating on here?

The Energy Department has hired at least three scientists who are well-known for their rejection of the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change, according to records reviewed by The New York Times.

The scientists are listed in the Energy Department’s internal email system as current employees of the agency, the records show. They are Steven E. Koonin, a physicist and author of a best-selling book that calls climate science “unsettled”; John Christy, an atmospheric scientist who doubts that human activity has caused global warming; and Roy Spencer, a meteorologist who believes that clouds have had a greater influence on warming than humans have.

Consensus is not science. The consensus at one time was that the Sun went around the Earth. Dinosaurs were lizards. Ulcers were caused by stress. That plate tectonics was mule fritters. Really, the wackos have weaponized consensus, especially as it relates to the climate cult. Nowhere in the article are any of the three scientists disproven wrong. Just cultishly deemed wrong. And, yeah, water vapor is the number one greenhouse gas.

A vast majority of scientists around the world agree that human activities — primarily the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal — are dangerously heating the Earth. That has increased the frequency and intensity of heat waves, droughts and colossal bursts of rain like the storm that caused the deadly flooding now devastating central Texas.

Fuck you for using that killer flood for your cult propaganda. You should be utterly ashamed of yourself for doing this when the bodies haven’t even been buried yet.

In addition to his role at the University of Alabama, Dr. Spencer is a policy adviser at the Heartland Institute, a conservative group that rejects mainstream climate science. He previously served as a scientist at NASA and as a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing group responsible for creating Project 2025, a conservative blueprint for the new administration.

The mainstream scientific consensus on medicine was that certain ailments could be fixed by “bleeding” patients, usually using leeches. If someone had a fever they thought it was due to too much blood.

Michael Mann, a climate scientist at the University of Pennsylvania, expressed alarm that the Energy Department had hired the three scientists.

“What this says is that the administration has no respect for the actual science, which overwhelmingly points in the direction of a growing crisis as we continue to warm the planet through fossil-fuel burning, the consequences of which we’ve seen play out in recent weeks in the form of deadly heat domes and floods here in the U.S.,” Dr. Mann wrote in an email.

This is the same guy who refuses to debate. I’m not particularly happy using an article at creation.com, but, there are a couple lines of note

Actually, a major reason most scientists believe in evolution is that most scientists believe in evolution! This is a type of ‘confirmation bias’: the alleged scientific consensus was reached by counting heads, which themselves reached their conclusion by counting heads. If most of them were asked for actual evidence, they would likely give very weak answers outside their field of expertise.

For example, one of the world’s leading experts on fossil birds—and a staunch critic of the dino-to-bird dogma, is Dr Alan Feduccia, Professor Emeritus at the University of North Carolina. He remains an evolutionist, however, yet when challenged, his prime ‘proof’ was corn changing into corn!8

Is evolution correction? Possible. But, it cannot be fully proven at this time. It can be asserted.

As the famous author Michael Crichton (1942–2008), who had a previous career in medicine and science, said:

“Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What is relevant is reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus.

“There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it’s science, it isn’t consensus. Period.”9

If the people who use consensus tell me it is a crisis won’t act like it’s a crisis in their own lives why would I believe their consensus on doom?

DHS Ending TPS For Hondurans And Nicaraguans

By William Teach July 8, 2025 – 10:30 am

This is horrible, right?

You know what’s monstrous? People on “temporary” status since 1998, just chilling in the U.S. This might be more compassion worthy if this CBS article, and other articles, featured any people working hard and stuff, instead of living off the teet of the American citizens

U.S. to revoke Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from Honduras and Nicaragua, putting them at risk of deportation

The Trump administration said Monday it will soon revoke the legal immigration status of more than 70,000 immigrants from Honduras and Nicaragua, its latest effort to curtail humanitarian programs that allow foreigners to stay in the U.S. temporarily.

The Department of Homeland Security said it would terminate the longstanding Temporary Protected Status programs for Honduras and Nicaragua in early September, paving the way for those enrolled in the initiative to be at risk of deportation unless they have other legal means to remain in the U.S.

Roughly 72,000 Hondurans and 4,000 Nicaraguans — many of whom arrived in the 1990s — have work permits and deportation protections under the TPS policy, according to the official termination notices published by DHS on Monday.

Really, all they need to do is not renew the TPS, because the current 18 month stretch ended July 5, 2025.

The TPS policies for Honduras and Nicaragua were first created in 1999 (WT-it started on Dec 30, 1998), after Hurricane Mitch devastated parts of Central America, causing catastrophic floods and killing thousands.

In the official termination notices, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said TPS for both Honduras and Nicaragua was no longer warranted, arguing that conditions in the two countries had improved significantly and that they could receive their nationals.

Yeah, that hurricane was quite some time ago, so, yeah, things are better, and it’s time for them to return home. Those who wanted to become US citizens had plenty of time to attempt to do so.

Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada said the termination of TPS for Honduras and Nicaraguans would separate families and hurt U.S. businesses.

“These families have been here since the 1990s, working hard and contributing to our state and country for decades,” Cortez Masto said. “Sending innocent families back into danger won’t secure our border or make America safer.”

What danger? The hurricane was last century. Did CBS ask her what the danger was?

(DHS) “Temporary Protected Status was designed to be just that—temporary,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “It is clear that the Government of Honduras has taken all of the necessary steps to overcome the impacts of Hurricane Mitch, almost 27 years ago. Honduran citizens can safely return home, and DHS is here to help facilitate their voluntary return. Honduras has been a wonderful partner of the Trump Administration, helping us deliver on key promises to the American people. We look forward to continuing our work with them.”

After conferring with interagency partners, Secretary Noem determined that conditions in Honduras no longer meet the TPS statutory requirements. The Secretary’s decision was based on a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services review of the conditions in Honduras and in consultation with the Department of State. The Secretary determined that, overall, country conditions have improved to the point where Hondurans can return home in safety. Additionally, under President Castro, Honduras has taken steps to welcome home their citizens, providing access to economic and food assistance programs, as well as labor integration and job training.

Democrats would prefer the permanent underclass of people brought in who can do menial labor.

You Should Think About Climate Doom Every Time You Have Bread Or Something

By William Teach July 8, 2025 – 7:15 am

Having a slice with butter in the morning? Or some bagels? How about English muffins or biscuits? Bow to your deity of the climate cult

What does your toast have to do with climate change?

You probably don’t think about climate change as you butter your toast. But behind every slice of bread, there’s a crop that’s increasingly under threat. Globally, farmers are facing blistering heat, shorter rainy seasons, and crops that don’t grow like they used to. And yet, scientists and farmers are teaming up to fight back with new seeds, new knowledge, and a shared mission to protect the food on your table.

The rules of farming, once shaped by tradition and predictability, are being rewritten by the climate crisis. And yet, not all is lost. Across the globe, farmers, scientists, and institutions are joining forces: developing smarter seeds, rethinking how we work the land, and building resilience in the places where our food begins. Behind that piece of toast is a story of adaptation, science, and hope.

From the rice paddies of South Asia to the highlands of Latin America and the drylands of Africa, farmers are tackling the challenges posed by climate change head-on and CIMMYT is supporting them every step of the way. In Asia, farming communities are experimenting with new methods of growing food that protect their soil and water. In Bangladesh and Nepal, for example, digital tools are helping farmers to make climate-smart choices by blending tradition with innovation.

Across Africa, smallholder farmers are improving soil health and adapting to unpredictable weather patterns. With improved farming practices and access to real-time climate information, they are learning to not only survive, but also to thrive. In Latin America, soil, seeds, and rural economies are being regenerated through sustainable practices. Farmers in Colombia and Mexico are rebuilding the land while preserving agrobiodiversity, showing that sustainable farming can also be deeply local and cultural.

So, they’re doing agriculture? Adapting to changes in the climate which have always happened? The hell you say!

When you bite into a piece of toast, sip your morning coffee, unwrap a tamal, enjoy a bowl of millet porridge, or savor a plate of vegetable curry, you’re tasting the final step of a journey that began far from your kitchen. It started in dry valleys, on steep hillsides, or in humid lowlands, places where farming is shaped by sun, rain, risk, and resilience. And behind every harvest, there are hands like Tomasa’s, Francis’s, and Nirmala’s; people who rise early, adapt constantly, and work the land with care and hope.

Agriculture.

Because in the end, your toast is not just toast. It’s a story. And that story deserves to be known.

Piss off, cultists. Of course, what they really want is Government in charge of your food.
