Surprise: BLM/Antifa Riots After Charges Dismissed In Officer Shooting Of Black Teen

By William Teach October 8, 2020 – 10:30 am

Here’s what it looked like in Wauwatosa

Rosen has several other videos, and one of the places they smashed was a learning center, which uses a lot of resources to help underserved kids.

No charges for Wisconsin officer in killing of Black teen

A Black Wisconsin police officer who fatally shot a Black teenager outside a suburban Milwaukee mall in February won’t be charged because he had reasonable belief that deadly force was necessary, a prosecutor said Wednesday.

Wauwatosa Officer Joseph Mensah shot 17-year-old Alvin Cole outside Mayfair Mall on Feb. 2 after police responded to a reported disturbance at the shopping center.

Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm, in a 14-page letter laying out his rationale, said evidence showed Cole fled from police carrying a stolen 9 mm handgun. He cited squad car audio evidence, along with testimony from Mensah and two fellow officers, that he said showed Cole had fired a shot while fleeing and refused commands to drop the gun.

“He did not surrender the weapon and was fired upon by Officer Mensah causing his death,” Chisholm wrote. He concluded: “(T)here is sufficient evidence that Officer Mensah had an actual subjective belief that deadly force was necessary and that belief was objectively reasonable.”

A kid with a stolen gun who’d already fired it once. Seems like a good reason to commit violence in your own neighborhood, right?

Scores of people surrounded the Milwaukee County Public Safety Building as Cole’s attorney and family members met with Chisholm, some chanting, “Say his name! Alvin Cole!” and “Justice! When do we want it? Now!”

His family wants justice. Perhaps they should have done something about the little hoodlum

(CBS58) After the Milwaukee County district attorney announced Officer Joseph Mensah will not be charged in the Feb. 2 shooting of 17-year-old Alvin Cole, details about the investigation were made public. That includes an eight-minute produced video, which compiles some of the evidence.

The video includes pictures and video from Facebook, Mayfair Mall security video, audio from a police interview with a witness and squad camera video and audio.

At the beginning of the video you see security video of Alvin Cole entering the mall with a group.

Next, a slide explains a picture of Alvin Cole on Facebook the night before the incident, shows Cole holding a pistol and explains Cole was not allowed to be in possession of a firearm due to a juvenile conviction. The Facebook picture is then shown. Investigators have said the gun recovered in Cole’s possession after the shooting was previously reported stolen.

While at the mall, Cole allegedly got in a verbal argument with a man. A clip of that argument, taken from Facebook, is shown.

He’s also not allowed a handgun because he’s just 17. Not that he obtained it legally to start with. Don’t want to get shot by police? Don’t be a criminal.

VP Debate: Pence Refuse To Call Climate Change (scam) And Existential Threat Or Something

By William Teach October 8, 2020 – 8:01 am

The moderator worked in some climate crisis hysteria, and Pence refused to take the bait

Pence refused to concede climate change is a manmade ‘existential threat’ during the vice-presidential debate

Vice President Mike Pence side-stepped questions and made multiple false claims about climate change during Wednesday night’s vice-presidential debate.

“With regard to climate change, the climate is changing, but the issue is what’s the cause and what do we do about it?” Pence said, rejecting established science about the causes of manmade climate change.

And the Credentialed Media wonders why trust in them is so low and they’re called biased when news stories go like this. Anyhow, I wonder if Pence has ever read this little blog, or Right Wing News when it was still active, because, how many times have I noted that the debate is not about the climate changing, but, about causation?

Pence attacked Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, for supporting a Green New Deal and pledging to re-sign the Paris Agreement, which the Trump administration controversially abandoned in 2017. Pence argued both initiatives would “crush American jobs.”

When asked directly whether he considered climate change an “existential threat,” Pence ignored the question and quickly pivoted to a different topic.

“The climate is changing. We’ll follow the science,” Pence said. “But once again, Sen. Harris is denying the fact that they’re going to raise taxes.”

If it’s such an existential threat, why do almost no climate cultists act like it in their own lives? Further, the raising taxes thing refers partly to the Green New “It’s really about economics” Deal, and partly to Biden saying he’d repeal the 2017 tax cuts which, regardless of talking points, lowered taxes for the middle class.

Pence falsely claimed, too, that a Biden-Harris administration would ban hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, a controversial form of natural-gas and oil extraction.

During her presidential bid last year, Harris said she supported banning fracking, but Biden has rejected that position. Biden has repeatedly said that his administration wouldn’t ban fracking, but would end additional drilling on federal land.

But, Biden has said in the past, as has Harris, that he would ban fracking. And flipped and flopped all over on the subject. Let’s not forget that his previous boss tried to get rid of fracking, and their hardcore base demands an end to fracking, and most of the hardcores a President Biden would appoint in key positions would want to ban it, too.

Harris also ducked on her support of the Green New Deal, and, of course, AOC had to respond to Pence

If it’s so popular, why have the House Democrats not passed it? In fact, it is literally sitting in committee, with no discussion, no actions. If it is so darned great then why has AOC failed to demand a vote on it? February will be two years since it was introduced.

VP Debate: It Was A Mansplaining Night Or Something

By William Teach October 8, 2020 – 7:39 am

There’s a reason that Kamala Harris flamed out of the Demokkkratic Party primary in December 2019: she’s not good at this. She rolled her eyes, huff and puffed, and, as Liz Peek notes “She constantly smirked and frowned and shook her head in derision while listening to Pence; no wonder Democrat primary voters decreed her “unlikeable.”” So, of course, since VP Mike Pence won the debate handily, liberals go to their typical wells

ABC’s Stephanopoulos: ‘A Lot of People Were Noticing Some Mansplaining Going on Tonight’

Wednesday following the vice-presidential debate, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos described Vice President Mike Pence’s performance as having included “mansplaining.”

Rahm Emanuel said, “I would just say that, in this case, right now, the Trump/Pence ticket has a 31% deficit with women voters. There is nothing that showed tonight that they not only narrowed that gap. If you are attacking your opponent, who happens to be a woman, you can do that, but the journalist who is asking the question, I don’t think that helped them with the women vote in general. So, I would say that while this will not change the trajectory of the race, that, therefore, is a loss for Donald Trump, who is somewhere in the double digits losing right now. And specifically among women. Mike Pence, I know him. You have a reporter and a woman candidate, and both of them you are interrupted, both of them you are attacking, not a good sign. ”

Stephanopoulos said, “Obviously Mike Pence, former television commentator, does have a very calm demeanor, but I think a lot of people were noticing some mansplaining going on tonight.”

And

Van Jones: ‘Pence Was a Mansplainer-in-Chief’

Jones said that 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) had a strong start to the debate and a strong finish, and in the middle, “had to walk that tightrope that you’ve seen women of color and all women have to walk of being strong, but not too strong. And she got run over by Pence, over and over again, the moderator did nothing about it. But she kept her poise. She kept her composure, and she did great tonight.”

He added, “Pence was a mansplainer-in-chief. He was Mr. Mike Mansplainer all night.”

And

Carville: Harris I Will Not Be Lectured Line Hit Home– ‘Women Hate to Be Lectured by Men’

Carville said, “What stood out to you tonight? ‘I will not be lectured.’ Senator Harris said that multiple times. Women hate to be lectured by men, and she drove that point home. The other thing that stood out to me: She referred to Vice President Biden as ‘Joe,’ a conscientious decision that was made. Two things that struck me again and again. And Pence was a radio guy. Remember, they were being seen all the time, even when they’re not speaking, and Harris was much better trained. She didn’t lose her cool, smiled, took notes. Pence grimaced the whole time. You’re on 100% of the time, radio debate she would have won 55-45. But it was television debate. I’m surprised that his people didn’t train him better for that. But she really won the not speaking, visual part of that debate.”

And then, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who literally uses AOC (and RepAOC) as her Twitter handles, who has never complained about having that moniker, had a hissy fit

(Fox News) U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared to be closely watching the vice presidential debate Wednesday night, tweeting several responses to comments by Vice President Mike Pence during his confrontation against Sen. Kamala Harris.

Particularly irking the New York Democrat seemed to be Pence’s reference to her by her widely used nickname “AOC.”

“For the record @Mike_Pence, it’s Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez to you,” Ocasio-Cortez responded on Twitter.

Ocasio-Cortez also appeared bothered by what she saw as “gender dynamics” at work during the debate, in which Pence was the only male participant. She accused Pence of demanding answers for the questions he posed to Harris, while trying to avoid directly answering questions put to him by the debate moderator, Susan Page of USA Today.

For the record, then, it is Vice President Mike Pence. Really, though, is this a good look? First, this nation long ago divorced itself from Titles. We don’t do that. More importantly, are all these folks, and there were lots more, saying that women cannot compete with men in the political arena? That women aren’t strong enough to compete? That politics needs to be dumbed down for them to compete? That is not a good look, painting women as hothouse flowers who need to be protected. For all her faults, Nancy Pelosi never complains, and, let’s be honest, she’s more than held her own, at least in the House, because she hasn’t had to really debate anyone in decades, being in the safest district in the country. You don’t see Republican women complaining when they debate: they just fight back. If you want to be in politics, it’s a dirty, nasty business, and you best be able to hold your own.

Climate Change (scam) Is Super Important To Liberal Voters (who refuse to change their own lives)

By William Teach October 7, 2020 – 1:00 pm

So, if Trump promised a carbon tax, government so everyone could buy a Tesla, and said he would fight for a tougher Paris Climate agreement and fully instituted AOC’s Green New Deal, would they vote for him over Biden?

How important is climate change to voters in the 2020 election?

As Election Day nears, a majority of registered voters in the United States say climate change will be a very (42%) or somewhat (26%) important issue in making their decision about whom to vote for in the presidential election, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted July 27-Aug. 2.

Nothing says “I care” like a poll in the middle of the summer

Registered voters supporting Democratic candidate Joe Biden and Republican President Donald Trump have very different perspectives on the issue. Nearly seven-in-ten Biden voters (68%) say climate change is very important to their vote. By contrast, only 11% of Trump supporters say the same. In fact, climate change ranks last in importance (out of 12 issues tested in a recent survey) for Trump supporters.

The issue of climate change has been growing in importance for Americans over time. Six-in-ten adults now view climate change as a major threat to the well-being of the U.S. – up from 44% who said this in 2009. And a January survey – fielded before the coronavirus outbreak – found a rising share citing climate change as a top priority for the president and Congress. In both instances, rising concern has been concentrated among Democrats, but not Republicans.

Yet, most refuse to give up their own use of fossil fuels, etc and so on, you know what I write.

Still, the share of all voters who say climate change will be very important to their vote (42%) trails behind other leading issues such as the economy (79%), health care (68%) and the coronavirus outbreak (62%).

So, basically, it’s a big nothingburger when moving from theory to practice. This article is basically a rehash at the Pew Institute of the previous article on the poll. Perhaps they should ask the climate (scam) voters questions like

  1. How much of your own money are you willing to give up, through taxes, higher energy, goods and food costs, to stop climate change?
  2. Are you willing to give up your own use of fossil fuels?
  3. Do you keep your AC above 80F and heat below 65F?
  4. Would you be willing to live in a tiny house to solve the climate crisis?
  5. Would you be willing to live in a world similar to the COVID lockdowns?
  6. Are you OK with government telling you where you can live, where you can travel and when, and how many kids you can have?

Warmists never think the bad things from their policies will hit them in their own lives.

Trump Cuts Off Negotiations With Pelosi And Dems Over COVID Relief, Wants Real Legislation

By William Teach October 7, 2020 – 10:30 am

In the private sector, if people are negotiating in bad faith, if they’re being unrealistic, if they are playing too many games, you end the negotiations. When I’m doing it, I will ask “if I do X, you’re prepared to sign right now?” Some people will say “sure”, then back out with some sort of excuse. I’ll ask a couple questions, then pull the offer. If they want an offer to shop around, nah, I’m good, come see me last (though, we will sometimes give a crazy offer because we know it will screw the store the customer is going to buy from). Time is money, and I’m only spending so much time with your games (and these are typically people who say “I don’t want to play games.”) Trump has had enough of Pelosi and her Comrades screwing around

Trump says he’d sign off on specific coronavirus relief measures after halting talks

President Trump on Tuesday said he would sign off on specific coronavirus relief measures aimed at helping the airlines and small businesses.

“The House & Senate should IMMEDIATELY Approve 25 Billion Dollars for Airline Payroll Support, & 135 Billion Dollars for Paycheck Protection Program for Small Business. Both of these will be fully paid for with unused funds from the Cares Act. Have this money. I will sign now!” Trump wrote on Twitter.

The decision comes just hours after Trump said he was cutting off talks with Democrats over a new economic aid package until after the Nov. 3 election.

Why continue negotiating with people who are doing it in bad faith? Which is the way Democrats negotiate most deals.

It makes sense. Do small bills rather than the Big Bills, which also tend to have more Crazy buried in them, just like the Dems current COVID aid bill granted deferred deportation to illegals and would bring in lots and lots of foreign workers.

California’s Blackouts Caused By ‘Climate Change’ And Poor Planning

By William Teach October 7, 2020 – 8:36 am

See, I would usually tag “or something” on to a headline like that, but, I actually agree with the climate change part, just in a different way

What caused California’s rolling blackouts? Climate change and poor planning

California suffered its first rolling blackouts in nearly 20 years because energy planners didn’t take climate change into account and didn’t line up the right power sources to keep the lights on after sundown, according to a damning self-evaluation released Tuesday by three state agencies.

The rotating power outages didn’t last long and affected only a small fraction of the state’s 40 million people. Just under half a million homes and businesses lost power for as little as 15 minutes and as long as two and a half hours on Aug. 14, with another 321,000 utility customers going dark for anywhere from eight to 90 minutes the following evening.

But officials should have been prepared for the climate-driven extreme heat that caused electricity demand to soar and briefly left the nation’s largest state without sufficient power supplies, the state’s Energy Commission, Independent System Operator and Public Utilities Commission acknowledged in a preliminary “root cause analysis” demanded by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The immediate cause of the power shortages was the heat storm, which saw California experience four of its five hottest August days in the last 35 years, the analysis found. Temperature records were shattered across the American West, limiting the Golden State’s ability to make up for its energy deficit by importing electrons from other states.

See, this was all caused by climate change, or, more specifically, the climate cultists who believe in anthropogenic climate change who are slapping up all sorts of alternative energy sources while shuttering coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear, leaving the state with the inability to generate enough power when it’s needed, and even having to import power from surrounding states.

Further, why were Californian’s using energy anyhow? If they believe in ‘climate change’ then they should have forgone the use of air conditioning and other energy intensive appliances. Look, there’s no doubt we are in a warm period, something that happens off and on during the Holocene. Averages are made by having cooler times and warmer times. This is a warmer year for the west coast. Not as warm as the 1930’s, though. If Californian’s want to be climate cultists, let them deal with the results of their beliefs.

State agencies failed to adequately plan for that type of heat event despite knowing how quickly the world is heating up, the report concluded. They also failed to direct electricity providers to buy sufficient power supplies to cover the evening hours when solar panels go offline. And they created complex energy market mechanisms that masked the inadequacies.

If you have to purchase energy because you cannot get enough from your solar panels, well, that just proves that solar is not ready for prime time.

Officials have consistently said that intermittent power sources such as solar panels and wind turbines didn’t cause the rolling blackouts. But gas-burning power plants that can fire up when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing have been shutting down in recent years, and California has largely failed to replace them with cleaner alternatives such as lithium-ion batteries.

In other words, they know that solar and wind cannot provide enough power. Nuff said.

Trump Authorizes Full Declassification Of All Doc Related To Russia Hoax And Hillary Server

By William Teach October 7, 2020 – 8:20 am

I posed the question last night “does the Credentialed Media ignore the story, like they tried to do with Operation Fast and Furious, or do they circle the wagons and protect Obama, Hillary, and all the people associated with them, like they did with Hillary’s server issue, Benghazi, and IRS targeting, among others?” Well, I see no front page articles on this at ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, Washington Post, NY Times, or LA Times. Go figure

Trump Authorizes ‘Total Declassification’ of ‘Any’ and ‘All Documents’ Pertaining to Russia Hoax, and Clinton Email

President Donald Trump on Tuesday night tweeted that he has “fully authorized” the “total Declassication” of any and all documents pertaining to the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign and Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

“I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax. Likewise, the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal. No redactions!” Trump tweeted.

Trump’s tweet was in response to a tweet by RealClearInvestigations journalist Paul Sperry, who had tweeted earlier: “When all the documents are finally declassified, and all the redactions removed from reports, the nation will see that the FBI and CIA not only knew the Russia ‘collusion’ allegations against Trump were a political dirty trick, but that they were in on the trick.”

You see, we already now know this

Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe on Tuesday declassified documents revealing that former CIA Director John Brennan had briefed former President Obama on Hillary Clinton’s plan to tie then-candidate Donald Trump to Russia — as “a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.”

Ratcliffe declassified two items — two pages of Brennan’s handwritten notes — taken after he briefed Obama on intelligence the CIA received, according to Fox News; and a CIA memo that showed that the CIA referred the matter to the FBI for potential further investigation.

One has to wonder how much Joe Biden knew, and will he be asked about it by reporters and during the next debate. Gregg Jarrett has thoughts

President Trump’s announcement on Twitter Tuesday that he had fully authorized the declassification of all documents related to the Russia investigation is bad news for Hillary Clinton, Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett told “Hannity” Tuesday.

“It demonstrates just how immoral, unscrupulous, devious and corrupt Hillary Clinton was,” Jarrett said.

Jarrett said Clinton may have committed a felony in disseminating false information, depending on “how it [the information] was leaked and to whom.”

“I hope that the president’s declassification and removal of the redactions shed light on that because this does appear to be a criminal conspiracy,” he said.

Sadly, too many in the major media will either ignore the story, or circle the wagons, just like the did for Hillary’s server issue, with the assist of people like FBI Director Jim Comey and high ranking FBI agents. If Hillary was a Republican she’d already be in jail for the rest of her life for what she did, along with lots of her people. Now? If history is any indicator, no one is going to jail. The most likely outcome is that Trump is vindicated, as are the people the Justice Department went after.

If Trump wins, though, might we see some movement with prosecution? Not of low ranking fall guys/gals, but, high level? Obviously, the media will say this is political retribution, ignoring the lawlessness that started it.

Latino And Hispanic Climate Cultists Fight For Intersectional Climate Justice

By William Teach October 6, 2020 – 3:00 pm

This isn’t really about science, is it. Also, most Latinos hate the term Latinx, a word pretty much invented by uber-white liberal SJWs

The Young Latinx and Hispanic Climate Leaders Changing the World

From Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, we are celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month, a 30-day period dedicated to honoring the contributions and culture that Hispanic and Latinx Americans have shared with society — though we think it’s important to honor the Hispanic and Latinx communities every day of the year.

There are numerous incredible Latinx and Hispanic activists in the climate movement, who all use their platforms to advocate for intersectional climate justice. Read on for a list of nine amazing young Latinx and Hispanic climate activists who are leading the climate movement, whether they’re doing so via online education, in-person strikes, or speeches that gain the attention of world leaders.

What in the hell is intersectional climate justice? It’s like listening to a crazy Marxist make crap up

Alexandria Villaseñor is a 15-year-old Latina climate justice activist. She grew up in California — where the smoke from the Camp Fire made her ill, which introduced her to the horrors of the climate crisis — and has spent the last few years living in New York City, where she strikes outside New York’s UN headquarters every Friday.

Villaseñor also co-founded Earth Uprising, she spoke at the 2020 DNC, and she contributed an essay to the book All We Can Save, a book of essays and poems by more than 40 women leading the climate movement. She often uses her online platform to advocate for intersectionality in the fight for climate justice.

First, that fire was caused by electrical transmission wires and poor maintenance, not ‘climate change’. Second, Is Villasenor willing to give up her own modern life? To forgo a decent adult life for her beliefs, with skyrocketing taxes, cost of living, and unemployment? How about giving up power, which means no Internet connection, no smartphone connections and charging?

Diandra Marizet is a Mexican American climate activist based in Houston, Texas, with a degree from Texas A&M University. During the summer of 2020, Marizet co-founded Intersectional Environmentalist, a platform that advocates for intersectionality in the climate justice movement by providing educational resources, action steps, online communities, and more.

Marizet currently works as a brand strategy director for a nonprofit, and she previously worked in the fashion industry, so her website is a great resource for learning about zero-waste and sustainable fashion and personal care.

Do any of these climawarriors have degrees in science? Lots more are mentioned, and they all seem to be…profiting off the climahysteria the push.

Better known as Queer Brown Vegan, Isaias Hernandez is a California-based environmentalist who provides readers of his Instagram page and website with easy-to-understand explainers about the climate crisis and other justice-related issues. He is also a co-founder of Alluvia Magazine, which amplifies BIPOC voices in the environmental movement.
