Three Republican Squishes Working With Democrats For “Compromise” Immigration Bill

By William Teach November 24, 2023 – 10:30 am

How many times have we seen Republicans work with Democrats to create an immigration bill that provides a pathway to amnesty citizenship with a promise to do something to secure the border in the future? Especially when Lindsay Graham is involved?

Senate ‘Gang of Six’ Negotiates Republican Giveaway on Migration

Roughly 30 Republican senators are backing the House’s H.R.2 migration stabilization bill — but a gang of six senators, including three Republicans, are drafting a giveaway “compromise” bill. (snip)

Roughly 30 Republican senators are backing the House’s H.R.2 migration stabilization bill — but a gang of six senators, including three Republicans, are drafting a giveaway “compromise” bill. (snip)

“Lankford is now working to turn a one-page summary of the party’s border plan into legislation,” Politico reported.

Behind closed doors, additional Republican senators are likely cooperating with the group of three.

The three Democrat-aligned senators in the group are Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO).

You can bet there will be several more squishy who will be thrilled to give amnesty, er, a pathway to citizenship while doing little to actually secure the border and remove the conditions that cause people to show up and demand asylum.

The previous times there have been attempts at “compromise” bills, like with the Gang of Eight, it made it even easier for illegals to come to the U.S., and essentially gave the tens of millions here in the U.S. amnesty. What they called a pathway to citizenship was simply pro-forma, unlike the pathway that occurs when foreigners apply to become citizens. And like with Obama’s DREAMers executive order, no one will truly be vetted and we’ll end up with a bunch of criminals.

Any legislation really should include a provision that if you are caught in the U.S. illegally, it doesn’t matter why, you should be deported immediately, and any assets seized to pay for that. And no “refugees” should be brought in from hostile nations or ones that support Islamic extremism. And any refugees currently in the U.S. who push Islamic extremism should be deported immediately. And those here on legal visas cannot bring more than their wife and kids. No parents, grandparents, relatives. And those visas should not be renewed again and again and again.

Climate Cultists Block Macy’s Parade In Solidarity With Terrorists

By William Teach November 24, 2023 – 7:00 am

Do these type of stunts really help the cause? Or, do they turn even supporters off? And, of course, the climate cult has to inject themselves in other affairs

(USA Today) Video footage from several news organizations showed demonstrators blocking the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York to protest the treatment of Palestinians by Israel in the ongoing war.

Local news outlets Fox 5 and Newsday, as well as online news site FreedomNews.TV, published videos appearing to show protesters, donning white jumpsuits, crossing spectator barricades in front of the ongoing parade. The incident appeared to take place Thursday morning.

Footage appeared to show the demonstration on Sixth Avenue through Midtown Manhattan along the parade route. The protesters carried a banner that read “Liberation for Palestine and Planet,” videos showed.

Their jumpsuits included words such as “Capitalism,” “Colonialism” and “Racism.”

Their clothes, shoes, beanies, banners, and smartphones are all made with petroleum. There’s a chance their glue was also made with petroleum.

We know what they mean by liberation for the planet: no fossil fuels and living like’s it’s 1593. What do they mean by liberation for Palestine? Will anyone in the media ask them?

The climate advocate coalition Seven Circles Alliance has claimed responsibility for the demonstration, to protest what they called “the ongoing ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians,” according to an Instagram post. The group could not immediately be reached for comment.

No matter the issue, the climate cult will attempt to make it about climate doom.

On Eve Of Hostage Release, Hamas Calls For Supporters To Rise Up

By William Teach November 24, 2023 – 6:45 am

Here’s your change, all you folks who hate Jews and Israel and love Hamas: head to the Middle East. All you rainbow colored hair folks, all you queers for Palestine, see how that goes

Hamas calls for supporters in West Bank and beyond to rise up against Israel

Hamas has called on its supporters in the West Bank and elsewhere to rise up against Israeli forces despite earlier agreeing to a ceasefire and hostage exchange in Gaza.

On Thursday, Hamas officials signed off on a four-day ceasefire with Israel but hours later a spokesman for the terrorist group’s armed wing called for an escalation of “confrontation” outside of Gaza.

“We call for escalation of the confrontation with the occupation throughout the West Bank and all resistance fronts,” Abu Ubaida said.

It was hoped that any pause in fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza would also halt skirmishes between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the militant group Hezbollah, which is based in Lebanon.

So far, most in the West Bank and other areas have been reticent to get involved beyond some basic minor attacks, possibly seeing that Hamas finally pushed Israel too far, and they do not want to be on the end of an ass whoopin’, especially seeing as how Israel plans for at least two more months of operations, and would be more than happy to decimate other Israel/Jew hating terrorists.

Meanwhile

Too bad we’re not doing that here, mostly with those who are here on visas and as refugees. Scoop them up and send them away.

Los Angeles Drives Clog Roads In Their Fossil Fueled Vehicles

By William Teach November 23, 2023 – 7:15 am

I looked at 4-5 different polls from the last 8 years or so, and they all show a high percentage of Angelenos want climate action. Yet, they continue to clog the roads in fossil fueled vehicles. What percentage are EVs? I cannot find data, though, in California overall the percent sold is about 25% this year. Do you think they are on the roads in that traffic, worried about running out of battery? Why are they not taking public transit, because, remember, climate cultists are already saying that all private ownership of vehicles, including EVs, should be banned? I wonder how many were driving to the airport to take a fossil fueled flight?

Leftists Push To Rename Thanksgiving “Truthsgiving”

By William Teach November 23, 2023 – 7:00 am

Every Thanksgiving it’s something with these people. It hasn’t been as bad as usual, since the Credentialed Media has been focusing on the defending Hamas and smearing Jews and Israel, but, the stories are there

Liberal columnists call for Americans to ‘decolonize Thanksgiving,’ promote ‘Truthsgiving’

Several online publications and social media users are urging Americans to reconsider the Thanksgiving holiday while alleging the holiday is a symbol of “colonization” and “racism.”

“Let’s drop the lie of Thanksgiving and begin a Truthsgiving,” a social media post from The Nation read this week that linked to an article with the headline: “Should America Keep Celebrating Thanksgiving?”

In the article, author Sean Sherman, argues that Americans should “decolonize Thanksgiving.”

“For many Americans, the image of Thanksgiving is one of supposed unity: the gathering of ‘Pilgrims and Indians’ in a harmonious feast,” Sherman, a member of the Oglala Lakota Nation, explains. “But this version obscures the harsh truth, one steeped in colonialism, violence, and misrepresentation. By exploring the Indigenous perspective on Thanksgiving, we can not only discern some of the nuances of decolonization but gain a deeper understanding of American history.”

I wonder how many Modern Socialists read it and were like “yeah, you know, yeah, I’m down for that”? And then went to Thanksgiving dinner? Took that holiday pay day off? Remember, these are the same people who wined about a Native American on Land O Lakes butter and got her removed (and got Aunt Jemima removed from the syrup so hard they changed the name altogether). Perhaps they do not really like Indians, hence forcing the name change for the Redskins and Cleveland Indians, and going after the Braves, Chiefs, Seminoles, etc?

Sherman writes that Americans, in order to avoid the “tremendous distress to those of us who are still reeling from the trauma” of the Pilgrims landing in America, by promoting the “nutritional and culinary diversity” of Native American foods and “centering the Indigenous perspective and challenging the colonial narratives around the holiday.”

GTFO of here. Seriously? These people are wackadoodle enough to have trauma from something that happened in 1620?

“It’s starting to sound like ‘decolonization’ just means ruining any and every tradition and fun time, to be replaced by the narcissistic, jargon-filled rantings of 20-somethings whose infallible knowledge of the world is informed by TikTok,” writer and podcaster Meghan Murphy responded on X.

In fairness, there are lots of older moonbats who think the same way. But will still take part in Thanksgiving.

LA Times: Solving The Climate Crisis (scam) Will Hurt, So, Just Suck It Up, Warmist

By William Teach November 22, 2023 – 3:00 pm

LA Times writer and climate alarmist Sammy Roth has some words for his fellow unhinged cultists

Column: Solving climate change will have side effects. Get over it

When I wrote a column two weeks ago urging the Biden administration to approve a lot more solar and wind farms on Western public lands, I knew I would get flak from critics of large-scale renewable energy — and indeed I did.

On social media, conservationists blasted me for what they described as my failure to understand that sprawling solar projects and towering wind turbines tear up wildlife habitat and destroy treasured landscapes. They called me a shill for money-grubbing utility companies and suggested it’s obvious that we should rebuild our energy systems around solar panels on rooftops.

Funny how the same people who yammer about building all this green energy are the same ones who try and stop it.

In an ideal universe, I’d support building renewable energy exclusively within cities and on previously disturbed lands such as farm fields and irrigation canals. In an ideal universe, I’d support only climate solutions that don’t cause other problems.

But we don’t live in an ideal universe.

We live in a universe where every clean energy technology has drawbacks, whether economic or technical or political. A universe where there aren’t enough rooftops to replace all the fossil fuels we now burn. Where skeptical farmers are fighting to stop their neighbors from switching to solar energy production. Where building solar on canals is wildly expensive, at least so far.

Just as importantly, we live in a universe where human beings use mind-boggling amounts of energy.

If we keep replacing all those reliable coal, natural gas, and nuclear power plants with wind and solar (enviroweenies also want to eliminate existing dams that generate electricity)

Mistrustful of monopoly utility companies? Then you probably see rooftop solar panels as the ideal climate change solution. Live near the coast and love the ocean views? Then solar farms in the desert probably sound better than offshore wind turbines. Find it easier to cope with the idea of climate chaos if you can convince yourself a single technology or policy will fix everything? Then maybe you’re a devotee of nuclear reactors, or a carbon fee, or carbon capture and storage.

Yeah, it’s typically about it all being Somewhere Else.

Much as I hate the idea of paving over desert tortoise habitat with solar panels or refusing to remove dams that have decimated salmon populations, I hate the idea of 3 degrees Celsius of planetary warming a lot more. Much as I sympathize with rural towns that don’t want to live with industrial wind turbines as their neighbors, I sympathize more with my neighbors here in Los Angeles who can’t afford air conditioning and don’t want to die of heatstroke the next time the thermostat hits 121 degrees.

Warmists won’t like this. All that green energy is great in theory, but not in practice.

Now, for those of you reading this and nodding in agreement — thanks for your support. But I hope you’ll stop and ask yourself: What are you personally willing to sacrifice to bring about a safe climate future? What changes will you make in your life?

Will you eat less meat, replace your gas stove with an induction cooktop or lease an electric car? Will you make climate change a top priority at the ballot box, and post about it on Instagram, and bring it up at the dinner table on Thanksgiving?

If you hear about a climate solution that rubs you the wrong way, will you swallow hard and look the other way?

Most of them won’t make those changes, and refuse to have their own lives messed up.

To maintain a habitable planet for ourselves and our children and grandchildren, we’ll need to make some compromises. We’ll need to stand by and watch as some pristine ecosystems are razed in the name of renewable energy. We’ll need to learn to live with exorbitantly wealthy investors raking in additional profits at our expense. We’ll need to elect some politicians whose ideas don’t fully line up with our own, because they’re nonetheless our best hope of avoiding planetary collapse.

As someone who may not believe that the current climate is mostly/solely the fault of Mankind but is an environmentalist, no, I’m not good with razing ecosystems for a scam.

Woke Pope Essentially Calls Israelis Terrorists

By William Teach November 22, 2023 – 10:30 am

But, of course he does. What else would expect out of the Woke Pope?

Pope says conflict between Israel and Hamas has gone beyond war to ‘terrorism’

Pope Francis on Wednesday met separately with Israeli relatives of hostages held by Hamas and Palestinians with family in Gaza and said the conflict had gone beyond war to become “terrorism”.

Speaking in unscripted remarks at his Wednesday general audience in St. Peter’s Square shortly after the early morning meetings in his residence, Francis said he heard directly how “both sides are suffering” in the conflict.

“This is what wars do. But here we have gone beyond wars. This is not war. This is terrorism,” he said.

It was unnecessary for both sides to suffer. All Hamas had to do was not attack Israel and murder, rape, torture, and behead Jews, including women, babies, and grandmas. Hamas has attacked Jews numerous times, and typically goes for civilians. That’s terrorism. Hamas’ charter calls for killing Jews and erasing the nation of Israel. That is terrorism. Israel responding is not terrorism, but, this is the Woke Pope, and, rather than cooling things down, he’s taking the side of the Israel haters by equating Israel with Hamas. Those same Israel haters will use this pronouncement to further bash Israel and Jews.

The meetings and the pope’s comments came hours after Israel’s government and Hamas agreed to silence the guns in Gaza for at least four days, allow in aid and release at least 50 hostages captured by terrorists in exchange for at least 150 Palestinians jailed in Israel.

What will the Pope say when Hamas breaks the ceasefire?

(Fox News) Israel and Hamas have agreed to a temporary cease-fire for humanitarian purposes that includes a hostage release deal, Fox News has confirmed.

“The Israeli government is committed to the return of all hostages home. Tonight, the government approved the outline for the first stage of achieving this goal, according to which at least 50 hostages – women and children – will be released for 4 days, during which there will be a lull in the fighting,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.

“The release of every ten additional hostages will result in an additional day of respite. The Israeli government, the IDF and the security forces will continue the war in order to return all the hostages, to complete the elimination of Hamas and to ensure that Gaza does not renew any threat to the State of Israel.”

There are around 240 hostages held by Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organization by the U.S., EU, and UN. At least one won’t be coming home

Bummer: Climate Doom Will Make Thanksgiving Dinner More Difficult

By William Teach November 22, 2023 – 7:15 am

It’s coming. In the future. They think. But, we can solve this with a tax

Climate change could soon make these staple Thanksgiving dishes more scarce

climate cowThanksgiving could soon become another victim of climate change as rising temperatures threaten the abundance and quality of the ingredients used to make traditional dishes seen year after year.

As a result, these essential food items could become increasingly scarce and more expensive, potentially forcing families to omit or make substitutions in key recipes on their Thanksgiving menus.

Produce is among the foods most affected by climate change, according to experts. As global temperatures rise and extreme weather events such as drought, heat waves and powerful storms occur more often, altering growing seasons and changing crop yield productions, according to experts.

These changes are causing harvest yields in Thanksgiving staple ingredients such as sweet potatoes and cranberries to decrease significantly, Himanshu Gupta, co-founder and CEO of ClimateAi, a climate adaptation platform for food and agricultural supply chains, told ABC News.

In some places sweet potato crops are down, in some they are up. Same with cranberries. Which is what happens Some years are great, some are so so, some are down. That’s the nature of farming. But, this is all still your fault. And, quite frankly, I don’t care, I cannot stand either of them.

There could be a time in the future where the constant demand for cranberries will not be able to be met during the Thanksgiving holiday, Gupta said.

Don’t care.

Data is showing that by 2060 Mississippi is going to see an 18% reduction in average yields of sweet potatoes and by 2070 North Carolina is going to see a 12% deduction in average yields of sweet potatoes, Gupta said.

An average Thanksgiving meal for a family of 10 rose 20% between 2021 and 2022 — from $53.31 to $64.05 — according to a report by the American Farm Bureau released last year. In 2020, the same meal cost an average of $46.90, according to the findings.

“Climate change is one of the most significant factors in driving that cost,” Gupta said.

Horseshit. The main factor is a weaponized coronavirus, a horrible response by government, and then the crummy policies of the Biden administration.
