NFL Reportedly Set To Play Black National Anthem Prior To National Anthem

By William Teach July 3, 2020 – 7:47 am

Will the NFL be surprised by terrible ratings for the 1st game? Low attendance? Low merchandise purchases? Hey, it’s not like Black Lives Matter is a Marxist organization, you know

Are you psyched for the season? From the link

NFL games in Week 1 may be starting a little differently this season.

According to ESPN, the league will have renditions of “Lift Every Voice And Sing,” traditionally known as the Black national anthem, played before “The Star-Spangled Banner” as the NFL’s regular season gets underway.

The NFL is also considering other ways to recognize the victims of police brutality during the upcoming season, which is slated to start on Sept. 10. Among those ideas is listing the names of victims on helmet decals or jersey patches, per ESPN.

I’m waiting to hear how the millionaires who play the game and coach the game will be donating their time and money to help out. Anyhow, they might have gotten away with playing it after the Star Spangled Banner, but not first. Will they even play the SSB? These same leftist forces hate American and say the SSB is raaaaacist due to the 3rd stanza. Certainly, Francis Scott Key was potentially a racist, but, he was a man of his time in Maryland. Oh, and a member of the Democratic Party. Also

Will the NFL pay homage to the officers killed on duty specifically? They do pay homage to first responders. Will police provide security? They are being dishonored by the NFL, especially if they “recognize victims of police brutality.” Police should refuse to work at the venues. Let the millionaires and billionaires in the NFL pay for their own security.

Having Solved All Their Other Problems, Portland Votes For A Climate Emergency (scam) Declaration

By William Teach July 2, 2020 – 3:22 pm

Climate cultists always gotta do climate cult

Portland city leaders vote to adopt climate emergency declaration

Portland city leaders have voted to adopt a climate emergency declaration, a step they say will strengthen the city’s climate action approach to focus on climate justice and equity.

Mayor Ted Wheeler and Commissioners Eudaly, Hardesty and Fritz voted to adopt the resolution on Tuesday.

The Climate Emergency Declaration “acknowledges the Portland metro area faces a human-made climate emergency and frontline communities as being the least responsible for, but most impacted by, climate change,” according to a city spokesperson.

The city says the resolution commits Portland to using a new climate justice and equity-focused approach that centers Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color and youth from those communities in the next chapter of climate action planning and implementation.

Three of the four are uber white. Jo Ann Hardesty is the only black person. Most of Portland city leaders are very white. Portland is just 2.9% black, well below the national average.

Here are a few of their bullets points in the declaration

  • Establishes a new, ongoing climate justice initiative that will provide a framework for government and community to work together as equal partners to identify and implement strategies that will advance a shared vision for climate justice and action. (Modern Socialist babblespeak. Seriously, what does this mean in the Real World)
  • Advances efforts focused on expanding community ownership of renewables and driving down emissions from commercial and multifamily residential buildings. ​ (and those efforts are?)
  • Requires transportation justice, where projects and policies will reduce carbon emissions while advancing racial equity. (That’s a new one. WTF is transportation justice?)
  • Commits the City to work with Metro and TriMet to find resources to fund a year-round transit pass for all Portland youth. (Taxes go up)
  • Commits the City to adopt new policies to reduce carbon from buildings and the transportation sector, including becoming an EV-ready city, that prioritizes action, benefits and protections for renters and low-income residents. (Let’s see the City itself do away with all fossil fuels for running the government)
  • Commits the City to adopt new policies that prevent further expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure in the City, and quicken the transition to clean, renewable fuel options that are also good for air quality. (why not just forbid the use of fossil fuels in the city? Let’s see how that goes)
  • States the City Council’s expectation that the two electric utilities, PGE and PacifiCorp, deliver 100% clean, renewable electricity to all Portland residents and businesses no later than 2030, and calls on NW Natural to fully decarbonize its gas pipeline no later than 2050. (Have fun running your homes and businesses, Portland residents. Who will move to the suburbs when their cost of living skyrockets)

The city should practice what they preach. The document says that the “science is indisputable”: if that’s the case, there is no reason to wait till 2030, they should institute stuff right now.

NY Times Freaks Over America’s Caste System, Just Like The Nazi’s Had!

By William Teach July 2, 2020 – 10:58 am

This is interesting, considering the NY Times built their current office building by getting the property development company to get the government to use eminent domain to take away property from People Of Color

Right, right, they’ve never heard of things in old Egypt, the Roman Empire, etc and so on. I’m sure you can think of more, because you aren’t a Progressive wackadoodle. But, this is really about hating on America. Seriously, this seems to be what Democrats are going to run on: how horrible and bad America is. Here we go

A caste system is an artificial construction, a fixed and embedded ranking of human value that sets the presumed supremacy of one group against the presumed inferiority of other groups on the basis of ancestry and often immutable traits, traits that would be neutral in the abstract but are ascribed life-and-death meaning in a hierarchy favoring the dominant caste, whose forebears designed it. A caste system uses rigid, often arbitrary boundaries to keep the ranks apart, distinct from one another and in their assigned places.

Throughout human history, three caste systems have stood out. The lingering, millenniums-long caste system of India. The tragically accelerated, chilling and officially vanquished caste system of Nazi Germany. And the shape-shifting, unspoken, race-based caste pyramid in the United States. Each version relied on stigmatizing those deemed inferior to justify the dehumanization necessary to keep the lowest-ranked people at the bottom and to rationalize the protocols of enforcement. A caste system endures because it is often justified as divine will, originating from sacred text or the presumed laws of nature, reinforced throughout the culture and passed down through the generations.

There was a lot of denigrating of America prior to getting to the above. And you know the NY Times author Isabel Wilkerson (who’s part of the crazy 1619 crew), and the editors who allowed this, were thrilled to put America in the same boat as Nazi Germany (BTW, by the Times’ own standards, this would be racist towards India). The more interesting thing here is that most of this caste stuff happens in cities, counties, and states run by Democrat. Where are blacks and other “People of Color” held down the most? Democrat run areas.

BTW, if this were Nazi Germany, the Times would be shut down. And it was India that banned multiple blogs (including mine) and news outlets for various reasons.

Democrats Pass Infrastructure Bill Which Is All About ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach July 2, 2020 – 8:18 am

They know it won’t pass the Senate. They know it won’t even be brought up in the Senate. This is all about ClimaVirtue Signalling to their unhinged base while refusing to give up their own use of fossil fuels

Passing infrastructure bill, Democrats go all-in on climate

The $1.5 trillion infrastructure bill the House passed 233-188 on Wednesday has little chance of advancing in the Republican-controlled Senate. But it fired a political warning shot: Democrats view climate change as a top issue for an already turbulent election year.

“This bill, as audacious as it is, will do one thing for sure: give Democratic candidates talking points for their campaigns this fall. It also sets the agenda for a big infrastructure push for a possible future Biden administration,” said Ross Baker, a Rutgers University political science professor.

In the middle of a pandemic that underscores the value of science and public health, Democrats are carving out territory on climate change and pushing it as an election issue for November and a threat that intersects with voters’ daily lives.

In other words, they wasted House time voting on a bill with no chance of becoming law which focuses on a low hanging issue while people are suffering, physically, mentally, economically from the pandemic which they initially said was less than the regular flu.

The bill, which passed the same week Democrats on the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis released a 547-page report laying out a strategy for tackling climate change, would require states to commit to reducing greenhouse gases and other climate measures in order to receive federal dollars. It includes measures that would increase federal dollars for projects built with materials that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

How about we just stop sending so much of our hard earned money to Los Federales so they can spread it around for stupid crap? It’s long past time for States to reclaim their 10th Amendment powers and independence within the framework of the Constitution.

It would devote federal dollars to installing charging stations for electric and alternative fuel vehicles. And it would create a $250 million per year grant program to support local investments in reducing greenhouse gases.

How in the hell does this help infrastructure? And why aren’t all Democrats driving electric vehicles themselves?

Liz Hamel, vice president and director of public opinion and survey research at the Kaiser Family Foundation, said climate change is a significantly more critical issue for Democrats than for Republicans. Still, Hamel said it lags behind health care, the economy and the coronavirus — even among Democratic voters.

“There’s so much for people to be concerned about and worried about and outraged about right now that to break through to those who weren’t already extremely concerned about climate change, it’s difficult,” Hamel said.

Democrats apparently want to run on the climate scam, tearing down everything America, and defunding the police. Good luck!

America’s National Parks Are Raaaaacist Or Something

By William Teach July 2, 2020 – 7:59 am

There is a continuing amount of serious Hot Takes going on, as you all know. All which heavily deflect from the actual issue of police reform, right? While speaking with a black person I know last week, I mentioned that all these white liberals were basically attempting to speak for blacks, like mom calling the dentist for you when you’re 21. He said “we need all the help we can get.” Is this really helping when it deflects off the central message? Seriously, the dad of the kid killed in the CHOP was on Fox weeping for his son killed by Marxists and ABC is out here tweeting “iS tHE oUtSIdE rACisT?”

America’s national parks face existential crisis over race
A mostly white workforce, visitation threatens parks’ survival and public health

As millions of Americans escape home quarantine to the great outdoors this summer, they’ll venture into parks, campgrounds and forest lands that remain stubborn bastions of self-segregation.

“The outdoors and public lands suffer from the same systemic racism that the rest of our society does,” said Joel Pannell, associate director of the Sierra Club, which is leading an effort to boost diversity in the wilderness and access to natural spaces.

New government data, shared first with ABC News, shows the country’s premier outdoor spaces — the 419 national parks — remain overwhelmingly white. Just 23% of visitors to the parks were people of color, the National Park Service found in its most recent 10-year survey; 77% were white. Minorities make up 42% of the U.S. population.

“That tells me that we’ve got a lot of work to do,” said David Vela, acting director of the National Park Service.

The career park administrator, appointed by President Donald Trump to the post in 2017, is the first Latino to lead the agency.

The membership of the Sierra Club is overwhelmingly white Modern Socialist. I guess they’re raaaaacist Exactly what is the solution, though? Are we supposed to force “minorities” to visit national parks and make them take jobs working for the parks? Are we to force minorities to visit the great outdoors?

Government officials and environmental advocates agree that the racial disparity in the outdoors is an existential crisis.

“If we don’t address this, and we don’t see how all these things are interrelated, then we’re going to risk losing everything,” said Pannell. “You’re not going to have public lands to enjoy.”

This level of racial fear-mongering and crazy is beyond comment, is it not? Seriously, even a face-palm GIF just doesn’t seem to fit with this level of Moonbattery.

Ambreen Tariq, creator of the “Brown People Camping” social media campaign, learned to camp with her family in Minnesota after they emigrated to the U.S. from India. She now advocates for representation of families like hers and people of color to enjoy the outdoors.

“The future of our country is more and more diverse, … we’re going to have more people of color in this country than white people, but our parks, our green spaces, our conservation spaces, those demographics are remaining white. What does that mean for the future of our land, for environmentalism? We need everyone to experience and then love the land so that they will stay and fight,” Tariq said.

I think we need to pass a law forcing People Of Color to spend time in the great outdoors, along with a lottery system that forces POC to take jobs at parks.

However, when she camps or hikes as an adult, Tariq said she still faces assumptions that she doesn’t belong and a sense of “imposter syndrome” and fear — even facing questions from rangers about whether she has followed park rules when she doesn’t see white visitors asked the same questions.

Oh, good grief, get over yourself. If you see her picture, she looks Middle Eastern. She’s trying to play the Victim, hijacking the Black Lives Matter movement (which is pure Marxist at its root). How does this help with police reform?

‘Climate Change” Is The Social Justice Issue Of Our Lives Or Something

By William Teach July 1, 2020 – 3:00 pm

Hey, remember when this was about Science?

Climate change is social justice issue of our time — Will Busse

The national conversation about race has caused many Americans to examine their roles in maintaining systemic inequality. From today’s perspective, it’s easy to judge our nation’s history of slavery and wonder in disbelief how such a dehumanizing system was tolerated by so many for so long.

But the human tendency to minimize the negative impact of our choices on others persists, and future generations may make similar judgments about us today.

Experts have warned us for decades about the threat of climate change, and the evidence is increasingly before our eyes — historic flooding, temperature records broken, unprecedented melting of arctic ice sheets, and the thawing of permafrost that accelerates warming.

We don’t have to live this way. A price on pollution will drastically reduce carbon emissions while spurring innovation for clean energy. Climate change has exacerbated inequality around the globe by disproportionately affecting disadvantaged populations who are more vulnerable to food shortages and damage to infrastructure caused by extreme weather.

Addressing this problem is the social justice issue of our time. Let’s wake up and do our part to build a future that offers more opportunities for all.

So, um, why do so few Warmists want to do anything in their own lives? Why do they seem to Virtue Signal so often, and think they know what’s best for “minorities”? Why do these uber-white leftists think that people who don’t look like them are minorities? They aren’t minorities in Africa, Asia, Latin and South America, right? Why do they think they can speak for them, and down to them in a patronizing manner?

Oh, right, because the membership of the Cult of Climastrology is uber-leftist Caucasian

Lego Joins “Anti-Hate” Facebook Boycott Campaign

By William Teach July 1, 2020 – 1:00 pm

On one hand, Facebook is garbage. On the other, they are trying to resist the forces of Ultra Wokeness coming after them. On the 3rd hand, they’ve empowered the forces of Wokeness, but, they never anticipated that those forces would grow stronger, more crazy, and more demanding. They dug their own hole. And Lego has decided to join the party and go Woke

Toymaker Lego joins ad boycott campaign

Toymaker Lego said on Wednesday it would pause social media advertising for at least a month, joining a long list of companies that say Facebook is not doing enough to stop hate speech on its platforms.

The Danish company, known for its colourful plastic bricks, said in a statement it would review the “standards we apply to advertising and engagement on global social media platforms”.

The ‘Stop Hate for Profit’ campaign was started by several U.S. civil rights groups after the death of African-American George Floyd in police custody triggered widespread protests against racial discrimination in the United States.

Go Woke Go Broke. Let’s see how well they’re doing financially in a year if they continue down this road.

Meanwhile, more Wokeness

House Democrats Release Their Climate Crisis (scam) Plan, Which Ends Greenhouse Gas Emissions By 2050

By William Teach July 1, 2020 – 8:05 am

Yeah, the plan is as stupid as you’d expect

House Democrats climate plan would end greenhouse gas emissions by 2050

House Democrats on Tuesday unveiled a plan to address climate change that would set a goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, while pushing renewable energy such as wind and solar power and addressing environmental contamination that disproportionately harms low-income and minority communities.

The election-year plan backed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other leaders is less ambitious than a sweeping Green New Deal that a group of progressive Democrats outlined last year to combat climate change and create thousands of jobs in renewable energy.

The Green New Deal, championed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., calls for dramatic steps to virtually eliminate U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 with a goal of meeting “100% of the power demand in the United States through clean, renewable and zero-emission energy sources,” including nuclear power.

The new plan, put forth Tuesday in a 538-page report, offers similar goals but at a slower pace. It sets a range of targets, including a 45% reduction by 2030 of greenhouse gas emissions, which cause global warming.

But, will they even vote on it? They haven’t on the Green New Deal. Again, Mitch McConnell should put it up for a vote in the Senate, see the Democrats squirm.

The plan also would require that by 2035 new cars emit no greenhouse gases, while heavy-duty trucks would eliminate those emissions by 2040. The plan would eliminate overall emissions from the power sector by 2040 and all but eliminate greenhouse emissions from all economic sectors by 2050.

So, by 2035 most citizens will not be able to afford a vehicle. What are families supposed to do regarding minivans and mid-size SUVs?

While likely to win approval in the Democratic-controlled House, the plan faces insurmountable opposition in the Republican-controlled Senate. Democrats are hoping to make inaction on climate change by congressional Republicans and the Trump administration a key campaign issue in November’s election.

Keep an eye on it, see if they even bring it up to vote in the House. Just a few points, it gets the federal government heavily involved in your home condition, in building new homes, in your energy use and restricting your usage. It gets Los Federales heavily involved in telecommunications, because they’ve failed on Net Neutrality. It will kill off lots of pipelines. It gets the federal government even more involved in private sector business decisions, in your healthcare decisions, more involved in running municipalities. It takes over more state owned land and puts the government in charge of all waterways (after Obama’s Waters of the US rule was killed off). It makes the military all about ‘climate change’. You can see it all here.

I triple dog dare them to vote on it.
