Million Maga March Turns Violent When Biden Voters Show Up

By William Teach November 15, 2020 – 7:59 am

Here’s how this works:

  1. If Republican voters, even the crazy ones we do not want, are there by themselves, it’s not mostly peaceful, it’s 100% peaceful
  2. If Democratic Party voters show up, the chance for violence escalating increases dramatically because they are unhinged and looking for a fight
  3. If Democratic Party voters are demonstrating alone, violence will ensue

So, once the Biden Voters showed up, you could guarantee things would turn sour

Trump supporters morning protests turn into violent clashes

Several thousand supporters of President Donald Trump in Washington protested election results and then hailed Trump’s passing motorcade before nighttime clashes with counterdemonstrators sparked fistfights, at least one stabbing and at least 20 arrests.

Several other cities on Saturday also saw gatherings of Trump supporters unwilling to accept Democrat Joe Biden’s Electoral College and popular vote victory as legitimate. Cries of “Stop the Steal” and “Count Every Vote” continued in spite of a lack of evidence of voter fraud or other problems that could reverse the result.

After night fell, the relatively peaceful demonstrations in Washington turned from tense to violent. Videos posted on social media showed fistfights, projectiles and clubs as Trump supporters clashed with those demanding they take their MAGA hats and banners and leave. The tensions extended to Sunday morning. A variety of charges, including assault and weapons possession, were filed against those arrested, officials said. Two police officers were injured and several firearms were recovered by police.

Obviously, you can see how the media tries to pin this mostly on Trump supporters. This is the Associated Press story, which will be repeated ad-nauseum throughout the media. But, they finally get to

Multiple confrontations appeared later in the day as small groups of Trump supporters attempted to enter the area around Black Lives Matter Plaza, about a block from the White House, where several hundred anti-Trump demonstrators had gathered.

In a pattern that kept repeating itself, those Trump supporters who approached the area were harassed, doused with water and saw their MAGA hats and pro-Trump flags snatched and burned, amid cheers. As night fell, multiple police lines kept the two sides apart.

And the police?

In preparation, police closed off wide swaths of downtown, where many stores and offices have been boarded up since Election Day. Chris Rodriguez, director of the city’s Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency, said the police were experienced at keeping the peace.

Except, for lots of the time, they were nowhere to be found

Democrat World: Minneapolis Officers Bolting, City Devolving Into Violence

By William Teach November 14, 2020 – 7:14 pm

Say, what happens when you demonize the very people who protect you from criminals?

Violence, Gunfire Rage as Officers Abandon Minneapolis Police Department

Violence and gunfire are raging in Minneapolis as officers leave the department at such a rate that residents are warned that 911 responses may soon cease.

The Washington Post reports:

Nearly six months after George Floyd’s death here sparked massive protests and left a wide swath of the city burned and destroyed, Minneapolis is grappling with dueling crises: an unprecedented wave of violence and droves of officer departures that the Minneapolis Police Department warns could soon leave the force unable to respond to emergencies.

The report notes that North Minneapolis is marked by gunfire, as “bullets zip through this predominantly Black neighborhood, hitting cars and homes and people.”

Minneapolis homicides have surged 50 percent this year, with almost 75 people killed

Community activist Cathy Spann observed, “If you want to talk about pandemics, we’re dealing with a pandemic of violence. We’re under siege. You wake up and go to bed in fear, because you don’t know what’s going to happen next. … And our city has failed to protect us.”

The same type of “community activists” demonized the police for the horrible actions of a very few (and some actions that aren’t bad but bad people complain about). They wanted them defunded. And the police are leaving for greener pastures. What did you think was going to happen? In fairness, Joe might not want to defund them, but people like Kamala and tons of other Democrats do. And Democrats are soft on criminals, so, have more fun in Democratic Party run cities.

Bummer: Even Net Zero Won’t Stop The Climate Crisis

By William Teach November 14, 2020 – 10:30 am

No, it won’t, because CO2 is not the control knob, and even net zero will only change things a tiny, tiny bit. So, this is a bit of excuse making

Reducing greenhouse gas emission even to zero won’t stop global warming: Study

Scientists have been warning for years that climate change is a very real threat that mankind faces. But many, including prominent world leaders have ignored this. This may have resulted in inadequate response to the problem and we may be at a point of no return. These fears may be true according to researchers who say that global warming will continue even if greenhouse gas emissions responsible for it are reduced to zero.

“According to our models, humanity is beyond the point-of-no-return when it comes to halting the melting of permafrost using greenhouse gas cuts as the single tool,” lead author Jorgen Randers, a professor emeritus of climate strategy at the BI Norwegian Business School, told AFP.

The researchers have published their finding in the journal Scientific Reports.

So what’s the way to stop global warming?

What is it?

According to the researchers, the only way to do it is to extract greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and store them so that they do not go back into it.

On the bright side, this would most likely not bankrupt our economy and citizens, nor take away freedoms, liberty, and choice. This is one of the few “plans” I’ve seen which doesn’t involve massive Big Government being authoritarian. Of course, what could possibly go wrong with sucking GHGs out of the atmosphere, and perhaps starting a new ice age?

But many scientists are contesting the claims made in the study and also the method by which the study was conducted.

Mark Maslin, a professor of climatology at University College London, also pointed to shortcomings in the model, known as ESCIMO, describing the study as a “thought experiment.”

“What the study does draw attention to is that reducing global carbon emissions to zero by 2050” — a goal championed by the UN and embraced by a growing number of countries — “is just the start of our actions to deal with climate change.”

For one thing, many of these climate cult scientists would be against a simple plan like sucking GHGs out of the atmosphere because it means they are no longer needed, that they would lose power, influence, and money. And, many do want that Big Government, thinking they will be spared the pain, like priests in other cults.

Warmists Wants China Joe To Turn Military Into Arm Of Climate Cult

By William Teach November 14, 2020 – 7:14 am

Why is it necessary for Democrats to make our military into testing beds of hardcore Modern Socialism? Obama wanted to stock it full of the gender confused. Will China Joe make the U.S. military all about the climate crisis (scam)? Most likely. Ray Mabus, who was Secretary of the Navy under Obama

Under President Biden the U.S. Military Must Lead the Way on Climate Change

The election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris means the return of serious thought and action on the existential threat of climate change. Like so many issues in the past, the American military can, and should, lead the way.

The Pentagon uses more fossil fuels than any other organization on earth consuming two percent of all fossil fuels produced in the United States. It is big enough to be a market changer and accelerator for renewable energy. It has an imperative to move aggressively toward sustainable, clean energy for three main reasons: the first is climate change, which is one of the biggest national security challenges our country faces; the second is that it makes our military better warfighters; and the third is that such an action will save serious money at a time when the Pentagon, rightly, will be facing a future of lower funding for a number of reasons.

When I became Secretary of the Navy in 2009, one of the things that became the most obvious was how fuel—energy—could be used as a weapon either for or against us. This remains true today. As a warfighting and climate change measure, I moved aggressively to get the Navy and Marines off fossil fuels. The goal we set eleven years ago was that by 2020—now—at least half of all Naval energy, ashore and afloat, would come from renewable, clean energy. Were we successful? Ashore, the Department of the Navy met the fifty percent goal five years early and today two-thirds of all energy used to power our bases comes from renewable sources, mainly solar and wind but also geothermal, hydrothermal, and others. This represents 1.2 gigawatts of energy, which is more than enough to power a city the size of Orlando, Florida. And, by the way, over the lifetime of these projects, $400 million will be saved over what would have been spent using conventional energy. In spite of efforts by the Trump Administration to hurt renewable energy in every way it could, these renewables are locked in and couldn’t be undone.

Yes, this would be the navy which allowed Iran to take sailors hostage and not only did nothing, but punished the sailors. Thanks, Ray. The U.S. military is not the place to be playing games which could negatively impact the mission, which is use of force. But, climate cultists will always attempt to get Other People to change their behavior, not their own.

Unsurprisingly, Ray’s group, the Mabus Group, for which he is CEO, stands to make a lot of money if the military does this. Surprise?

New York, Oregon Governor’s Expect Police To Enforce Their Thanksgiving COVID Restrictions

By William Teach November 14, 2020 – 6:56 am

Will police do this? I guess it depends where they are. Are there enough China Joe Biden cops in deep blue areas who are willing to give this a shot? They best bring something

What part of the Constitution and their state constitutions are not clear?

Cuomo limits how many people you can have in your home; will cops come knocking?

One of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s latest mandates aimed at helping to stop the spread of coronavirus has gotten a lot of people talking.

It restricts how many guests you are allowed to have in your own home and limits the number to 10 or fewer.

This has caused consternation among those who believe the edict crosses the line between the need to take measures to curb the virus, and individual liberties, especially with Thanksgiving fast approaching.

With every new rule handed down by then governor, he’s almost always been quick to add that it’s up to local authorities to enforce it.

Most of the law enforcement, mostly Sheriff’s departments, said that they would, at worst, simply give people a lecture, and only if someone snitches. Well, don’t even let them in without a warrant. But, really, Cuomo has, in fact, directed law enforcement to enforce his edict, which will cause some to push their authority. You can bet their will be some interesting news stories come Black Friday.

Oregon Governor Imposes Statewide “Freeze” to Curb COVID-19 Spread, Restricting Bars and Restaurants to Takeout Service

Gov. Kate Brown announced today she’s imposing a two-week “freeze” on many activities in Oregon because of the sharp increase in COVID-19 infections.

The new restrictions, which go into effect Nov. 18, include restricting bars and restaurants to takeout only, limiting in-home gatherings to six people from no more than two families, capping grocery and retail stores to 75% of capacity, and limiting attendance at churches to no more than 25 people indoors or 50 outside.

The restriction on social events in private homes will be in effect on Thanksgiving Day.

For counties that have seen a particularly large increase in COVID-19 cases, Brown said the freeze would last at least four weeks. One of those counties is Multnomah.

Wait, that’s the most blue of blue counties in the state, with the city Portland. Is Gov Kate saying that all the Democrats are failing to follow her edicts? Huh

Brown also said today that she has directed the Oregon State Police to begin coordinating with local law enforcement agencies to police the restrictions on in-home gatherings. Brown noted that households that violate the six-person limit will be committing a misdemeanor and could be to subject to citation or arrest.

“We have not chosen to enforce the law in the past,” Brown said. “Unfortunately, now we have no other option.”

People might kowtow to law enforcement in Multnoma, and cops might be willing to go to citizen’s homes, but, that won’t happen in the more rural areas. That Gov. Kate is willing to do this in contradiction of the federal Constitution and the Oregon constitution says a lot about Democrats, just like with Cuomo. Will China Joe voting states and cities try the same thing?

Climate Crisis (scam) Is Having An Effect On Gen Z Career Choices Or Something

By William Teach November 13, 2020 – 1:00 pm

See, because you took a fossil fueled trip to the airport to take a fossil fueled flight to a vacation spot where you ate like a pig, Gen Z isn’t able to parlay their degrees in things ending with “Studies” into good paying jobs

Gen Z grew up with climate change. Now it’s starting to have an effect on their career choices

Gen Z grew up with climate change as a known factor in life — one that takes on an increasing sense of urgency every day. As fires rage through the west and hurricanes strike the southeast, the drumbeat is getting louder — and it’s starting to have an impact on their career choices.

Even prior to the pandemic and the devastating wildfires of 2020, 4 out of 10 young people identified climate change as one of the most significant issues facing the planet. Gen Z is uniquely positioned in part because, for many, they cannot recall a time when climate change was not a topic of discussion.

Fionnuala Fisk, who graduated from George Mason University in the spring of 2020, remembers starting a petition to “stop global warming” at age six (signed by her mother and two dogs). “I think it’s something that I have always been kind of aware of,” she said.

In other words, her parents brainwashed her into this. 6 year olds do not have these concerns otherwise

Growing up, Jane Weisenberg, a 2020 graduate of Union College from Larchmont, N.Y., did not know what she wanted to do professionally. Today, as she enters the world of business (she’s currently pursuing a career in consulting), she knows one thing: She wants to make money. The reason? The wealthy feel the effects of climate change less, a phenomenon which has become especially evident during the pandemic. “It’s a lot easier if you have money,” she said, “And so that really became more of a priority for me.”

Sounds like Jane is just making excuses to her limited circle of friends who are willing to put up with her incessant yapping about ‘climate change’ for why she wants to make money.

There are jobs available for climate-conscious people of all backgrounds and educations — some of which pay six figures, according to The Balance Careers. Environmental lawyers, for instance, earn a median salary of $122,960 and play a crucial role in the protection of our planet. Other high-paying and environmentally-sound jobs include environmental engineering and, in the business world, the relatively new but increasingly more common position of chief sustainability officer. And even for those without a bachelor’s degree, urban farmers can support their communities in eradicating food deserts and improving the environment while earning a median salary of $71,160.

Lawyers. LOL.

Cam Rosen is a 2020 graduate of Duke University from London, England. She currently resides in New York and recently began teaching fourth grade. But as she works to instruct the next generation, climate anxiety seeps into every aspect of her work. Rosen has focused her career on combating systemic racism and socioeconomic inequality, but recently has been struck by the urgency of the climate crisis.

“I keep forgetting that climate change is the problem,” Rosen said. “We’re not going to have a future where we can fix the injustices if our world is literally falling apart … I’m not going to have a future if the world is destroyed, and we keep destroying it.”

If you’d just give up your money and freedom to Government we could create a utopia, you damned burger eating skeptic.

Unity: Barking Moonbat Will Not Reach Out To Trump Voters, Now Or Ever

By William Teach November 13, 2020 – 10:30 am

As much as China Joe wants to preach healing and unity, which is really about his voters lowering their moonbattery way down, those he’s preaching too aren’t particularly enthused to do so

No, I Will Not Be ‘Reaching Out’ To Trump Voters, Now Or Ever. Here’s Why.

When Donald Trump was elected in 2016, like millions of other Americans, I was horrified. He had campaigned on a platform of hate, pledging to ban Muslims from entering the United States and build a literal wall to keep Latinos out of the country. He stoked anti-Semitism, mocked a disabled reporter and had a history of misogyny.

Once Trump actually became president, he called white supremacists “very fine people,” locked children in cages and systematically sought to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, disregarding the millions of Americans who would be left without access to health care if he were successful.

Yeah, I’m not going to bother debunking and arguing the reality, because, what’s the point? Y’all on the right have already made the arguments in your head, and those on the left are too brainwashed to think for themselves.

As a Jew, an atheist, a woman and the mother of a disabled child, I have watched as my communities have been threatened repeatedly. The day the 2020 election was called with Joe Biden projected to be our next president, I danced in the streets at Black Lives Matter Plaza along with thousands of others who finally felt like this long nightmare was coming to an end.

You cannot be a Jew and an atheist. And, why were you in the streets? Isn’t that against COVID orders?

But almost immediately, we began to hear calls to reach out to Trump supporters to mend fences. Pop star Katy Perry encouraged fans to follow her lead and tell family members who voted for Trump that they are “here for them.” Political scientist Ian Bremmer encouraged Biden voters to reach out to Trump supporters to show empathy. Former Sen. Rick Santorum, who compared same-sex marriage to bestiailty while holding office, urged Biden supporters to give Trump and his voters “space” to work through their feelings. These suggestions enraged me.

These calls for unity come from a place of privilege, and they’re coming from mostly straight, white, cisgender people who are financially secure. They may not have liked some of Trump’s policies, but they were not actively harmed by them. They likely never feared for their safety or well-being in Trump’s America.

There’s lots and lots of hate in Jamie Davis Smith’s heart, and lots more whining, ending with

Through all of this, my communities have come together in solidarity with one another to fight against Trump’s hateful acts. We are allies to one another, even when not directly under attack. Those who supported Trump, and those who still do, lack the compassion and the basic decency to recognize that every life has value. I have no need for them in my life and no desire to now pretend that I can accept their views, that any of this was ever OK.

This level of hate cannot be good for the mental health of Biden voters, but, good mental health left the train station for them in November 2016. Well, really, when Bush 43 was elected. It’s just gotten worse. The next 4 years should be fun if China Joe is inaugurated.

Earth Will Become Uninhabitable Unless We Use Mostly Not Invented Technology To Suck CO2 From The Atmosphere

By William Teach November 13, 2020 – 7:08 am

I’d like to say that the scary prognostications will increase with Biden winning (let’s face it, the fix is in, and it is a very long shot for Trump to pull it out), but, they never really end from the Cult of Climastrology. They’re also used to ramping it up a bit this time of year, ahead of the normally held UN IPPC Conference on the Parties. And here’s some doom

Any hope of keeping Earth habitable now requires sucking carbon back out of the atmosphere, a new study found

Even if we stopped emitting greenhouse gas today, the Earth would continue warming for centuries. Arctic ice and permafrost are already on an irreversible path of melting.

That’s the finding of new research published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports. The model suggests that even if emissions were to drop to zero this year, global temperatures would ultimately rise to be 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit higher in 2500 than they were in 1850 (that’s 3 degrees Celsius).

“The tundra will continue to melt over the next 500 years — irrespective of how quickly humanity cuts its greenhouse-gas emissions,” Jørgen Randers, the lead author of the new study, told Business Insider.

That’s because climate change is a vicious, self-sustaining cycle: As permafrost thaws, it releases more greenhouse gases, like methane and carbon dioxide, which sustains warming over time. To stop that cycle, Randers said, we’ll need to suck carbon dioxide back out of the atmosphere.

That’s because this is the natural process of an interglacial period, no reason to blame witchcraft, but, hey, we can stop the natural processes of Earth by implementing tech that, other than trees, plants, and plankton, doesn’t really exist.

Randers’ study modeled the effect of various emissions-reductions scenarios on Earth’s climate between 1850 and 2500.

The data showed that if emissions stopped for good in 2020, sea levels in 2500 would still be more than 8 feet (2.5 meters) higher than in 1850.

Interestingly, that is exactly the amount of sea rise one would expect during a Holocene warm period. There should be a foot to a foot and a half of rise per century. But, too many people are too stupid and won’t take the time to do research, and the Warmists know this and can turn the Scary Screws.

To prevent the projected 3-degree-Celsius temperature increase, greenhouse-gas emissions would need to have ceased entirely between 1960 and 1970, the model found. In that sense, Earth blew by a climactic point of no return 50 years ago — before much of the public understood the realities of climate change.

So, if it’s too late, why are we bothering to talk about this? Oh, right, to institute Big Government, lots of government control of everything, and taxes/fees.

What’s needed, Randers said, is for companies and governments to “start developing the technologies for large-scale removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.”

In technical terms, that strategy is known as carbon capture and storage (CCS). To prevent further warming after emissions have stopped, the new study found, at least 33 gigatonnes (36.5 billion tons) of carbon dioxide would need to be sucked out of the atmosphere each year. That’s roughly the total amount of carbon dioxide the global fossil-fuel industry emitted in 2018 (36 gigatonnes).

Power plants in the US, Canada, and Switzerland have already started utilizing CCS to lower their emissions. In 2014, the Boundary Dam Power Station in Saskatchewan became one of the first in the world to successfully use the technology.

Most of these are experimental, and don’t really do much. But, hey, why bother? It’s too late, right?
