Your Fault: European Heat Wave Impossible Without ‘Climate Change’ Or Something

This piece of cult propaganda is all over the Credentialed Cult Media, many using this AP article, some writing their own like the NY Times and UK Guardian. They’re all apoplectic and doomy

Europe’s extreme heat would be impossible without climate change, scientists say

The record-breaking heat that’s scorching Europe day and night this month would not have been possible without climate change, according to a new study.

The World Weather Attribution rapid study released Friday found that the heat would have been virtually impossible just five decades ago, and is 200 times more likely today than it would have been 20 years ago.

Millions in France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe are experiencing extreme temperatures and humidity this week associated with a heat dome. Daytime temperatures have topped 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in many places, while high nighttime temperatures have also made it harder to cool down and recover.

The scientists estimated that a heat wave with similar characteristics occurring in the climate of June 1976 would have been about 3.5 degrees Celsius (6.3 Fahrenheit) cooler during the day and about 2 degrees Celsius cooler (3.6 Fahrenheit) in 2003. The nighttime temperatures would have been about 2.4 degrees Celsius (4.3 Fahrenheit) cooler in June 1976 and about 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.3 Fahrenheit) cooler in 2003.

Back in 1976, when the media was worried about a coming ice age? Say, can they compare this to things that happened during previous Holocene warm periods? Without that knowledge and direct observation this is all just cultist claptrap.

Oh, and, of course, because they are running this it means that the weather in Europe will soon be cool, like when they yap about permanent drought and the weather soon turns wet (and then they also blame ‘climate change’).

Washington Post Super Upset Over Loss Of Employees For Nursing Homes, Factories

The two AWFLs writing this screed, Maria Sacchetti and Lauren Kaori Gurley, miss the obvious conclusion that if a business depends on labor from illegals, fake asylum seekers, and TPSers who can be booted at any time they’re bad at it

Nursing homes, factory owners and immigrants brace for fallout from Supreme Court ruling

Immigrants began making plans to sell or rent their homes, secure bank accounts and figure out thorny issues like child custody arrangements. Business owners started calculating how many days they can continue to employ workers whose legal status is set to expire. And nursing home leaders warned they would have fewer beds to offer if health aides are forced to leave the country.

Panic rippled through communities from Florida to Ohio and beyond in the hours after the Supreme Court cleared the Trump administration Thursday to strip humanitarian protections from Haitians and Syrians — and potentially all 1.3 million immigrants from over a dozen countries who had been previously shielded from deportation.

“The residents will be losing caregivers that they really have become attached to,” said Colin O’Leary, executive director at Laurel Ridge Rehabilitation & Skilled Care Center in Boston. Managers at the facility were racing to figure out how much longer staff members from Haiti with temporary protected status could continue taking care of patients. “That’s a lot for our residents to handle.”

Attorneys said Haitians and Syrians could lose work permits in little more than a month, but the deadline remained unclear because lower court judges must issue orders to implement the decision. Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, told reporters Thursday that Haitians and others with temporary protected status should be detained and deported once they lose the benefit.

It’s always some sort sob story with these people, always forgetting that the law is, in fact, the law. It should mostly be devoid of emotion. But, um, hey, what’s this claptrap about “lower court judges”? The Mullin v. Doe ruling pretty much said the lower courts need to stay the hell out of it: Congress gave the Executive the power to grant TPS and cancel it, and courts have nothing to do with it.

Some of those immigrants have lived in the United States for decades and said they feared being sent back to conflict-ridden homelands that they barely know and whose languages some do not speak.

And that is a problem, because the T stands for temporary.

Harlaine, 38, a registered nurse in Florida, said she hasn’t been to Haiti since she left for the U.S. at age 7 and had never visited because everyone told her it was too dangerous. She spoke on condition that only her first name be used because she fears being targeted by immigration authorities.

She’s been here 31 years and hasn’t attempted to get citizenship? Or even Permanent Resident status?

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, characterized the decision as “a mistake” and said it is too dangerous to deport people to Haiti, including the more than 10,000 Haitians living and working legally in his state. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) vowed to fight the ruling, even as the path to challenging it is unclear.

Yes, let’s bring in all these people who are dangerous.

“I’m telling you it’s going to cripple our health care system,” Hochul told reporters. “Who’s going to show up tomorrow to take care of grandma? Who’s doing that? Who’s stepping up?”

And here’s the thing, Democrats have been telling the kiddies that they should get highfalutin degrees, ones which sound great but have little value in the real world, that jobs like caretakers and nurses and such are beneath them (even though they can earn some good damned money). They tell even those Dem voter kiddies of lower status that jobs working with your hands are for chumps, so, they rack of tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt for garbage degrees that let them feel Entitled. Because all the imports will do them.

Credentialed Media Wonders Why Trump Is Missing From World Cup

The same media who tells Trump to stay away from events, such as the NBA finals, wonders where Trump is

How much longer can Donald Trump go missing from the World Cup?
The person who shaped the tournament in his image has been invisible since it started.

Some of soccer’s biggest names have come to play at the World Cup: Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, Vinícius Júnior and now even Cristiano Ronaldo have left their mark on the score sheet.

But one key player who loomed over just about every step of pre-tournament preparations has been notably invisible: Donald Trump.

Pre-tournament fears that the American president would trample on the soccer jamboree have, so far, proved largely unfounded after the first two weeks of competition. Trump has yet to attend a match, and even as the U.S. team mounts its best World Cup performance in decades he has done little to claim the success as his own.

So he’s not super involved and the media complains.

Aside from persistent complications surrounding the Iran squad’s entry and exit to the U.S. for games, and the ban on a Somali referee from entering the country before the tournament started, political incidents involving the Trump administration and soccer — or leaders of other World Cup countries, including the neighboring co-hosts with whom he often spars — have been few and far between.

Because Trump specifically picked out that 1 ref and said “not him”

No ICE arrests around matches. No heavy-handed policing like soccer fans sometimes suffer in Western Europe. No beef between Trump and Democratic leaders of cities and states where some of the tournament’s highest-profile matches have been played.

So, ICE is not rounding up illegals? They are there to stop human trafficking, drugs, and other issues, as are members of foreign agencies. Policing is a light touch unlike in Europe? No beefs with wacko Dems? It’s almost like Politico’s writers are whining that they have nothing to complain about with Orange Man Bad so they will be mad that there is nothing to complain about with Orange Man Bad

In an interview last week with POLITICO, Massachusetts Democratic Gov. Maura Healey said her administration had worked with the U.S. government “around transportation funding, security funding. That’s the way it should be. There should be that kind of work and coordination.”

Trump allies are on the same page as the tournament progresses serenely through the group stage, beyond continued griping about high ticket prices and transport to and from some stadiums.

“Why won’t Trump do or say something Mean! There are no Mean Tweets! Arrglebargle!”

This week, FIFA chief Gianni Infantino confirmed what many have expected: Trump plans to attend the final on July 19 and help present the winner’s trophy. Can a president who loves the spotlight stay away till then?

Can these Credentialed Media folks not write in TDS? Really, I don’t think Trump, like most Americans, cares about soccer.

As for transportation, how’s things going?

Your Fault: Reflecting Pool Algae From Climate Doom

I’m actually surprised we didn’t get this sooner (via Green Jihad)

Using a link you can read if you want

In his battle to clean the murky waters of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, President Donald Trump has tried draining, painting, hydrogen peroxide and what the Interior Department describes as “high-tech nanobubble ozone technology.” But he has seemingly overlooked two of the most important factors that experts say are driving unsightly — and sometimes dangerous — profusions of algae: pollution and climate change.

Algae thrive in warm, still waters, causing populations to explode as global temperatures rise, said environmental engineer Steve Chapra, an emeritus professor at Tufts University.

Short-term measures like those Trump has pursued may temporarily reduce algae populations in some water bodies, Chapra said. But unless they grapple with warming and nutrient pollution, any efforts to address these blooms in the Reflecting Pool and elsewhere are doomed to fail in the long run.

The consequences could be profound, because the problems presented by blooms go far beyond aesthetics, he added. They can disrupt aquatic food chains, deplete oxygen in water bodies and even produce deadly toxins.

“It’s probably the biggest water quality problem in the world,” Chapra said. “The Reflecting Pool is the canary in the coal mine.”

Wow, that sure ramped up to Category 5 Doom, eh?

Sniffles: Supreme Court Ruling Allows Ending Of TPS For Haitians And Syrians

The Credentialed Media is not taking this well, as you could expect

Supreme Court undermines TPS program, putting 147,000 immigrants in Texas at risk of deportation

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the Trump administration can revoke Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from Haiti and Syria. The 6-to-3 ruling puts more than 1.3 million immigrants under TPS across the United States, including roughly 147,000 in Texas, at imminent risk of arrest and deportation.

Writing the conservative majority’s opinion in Mullin v. Doe, Associate Justice Samuel Alito said TPS functions entirely at the discretion of the president and is not subject to review by the courts.

“Congress created TPS in 1990 to provide short-term humanitarian relief for aliens who cannot safely return to their home countries,” Alito wrote. “Although designed to afford temporary relief, TPS designations in practice have often lasted for decades,”

Alito added that Haitian immigrants had received a TPS designation after the 2010 earthquake in the Caribbean country.

“The Supreme Court is signaling that lower courts should not interfere with the executive’s authority, that when Congress grants a broad discretionary power to grant temporary status, the president should also have the same power to revoke the temporary status,” said Josh Blackman, a professor of constitutional law at South Texas College of Law Houston. “I think this is a very important case of presidential power.”

First off, they are not immigrants: they are foreign aliens who were allowed into the U.S. temporarily. That’s the whole of their legal status. Second, how quickly till a wackjob federal judge comes out with a ruling which blocks ending TPS for some group in total avoidance of the SCOTUS ruling?

Seth Chandler, who teaches constitutional law at the University of Houston Law Center, said the ruling has dramatic consequences for Texas, which hosts one of the largest concentrations of TPS holders in the U.S.

“It basically streamlines the ability of the Trump administration to revoke TPS status, not just for the Haitians and Syrians who were litigating in the case the Supreme Court decided today, but with respect to Hondurans, Nepalis, Afghans, and perhaps critically for Houston, potentially Venezuelans as well,” Chandler said.

There does come a point when TPS ends, Democrats. It is not permanent.

The decision came down immediately after another immigration-related decision, which allows the Trump administration to enforce its “wait in Mexico” policy for asylum seekers.

As to that

(AIC) U.S. law provides that any person who is physically present in the United States or who “arrives in” the United States may apply for asylum. Congress further directed that immigration officers must “inspect” any noncitizen who “arrives in” the United States to determine if they should be admitted to the country — a function U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers carry out thousands of times per day at ports of entry. (snip)

Today, the Supreme Court blessed the practice of metering, overturning a 9th Circuit decision which had found that CBP had an affirmative obligation to process people who arrive at ports of entry but who have not yet stepped on U.S. soil after CBP officers have blocked their passage. The Court found that there was a difference between “arrives in” and “arrives at” the border, and declared that only those individuals who have physically set foot in the United States have a right to be inspected and apply for asylum.

In other words, we do not have to let them in no matter how loud they yet “asylum”.

Olympians Take Long Fossil Fueled Trips To D.C., Complain About ‘Climate Change’

Nothing like a good old fashioned case of climahypocrisy

In a visit to Capitol, Jessie Diggins and other Olympians push for climate change solutions

Olympian Jessie Diggins visited Capitol Hill with her four medals in hand Wednesday to advocate for clean air, clean water and a healthy planet.

America’s most decorated cross-country skier is part of “Protect Our Winters,” an athlete-driven environmental group that sent a coalition to Washington to meet with lawmakers Tuesday and Wednesday. The group is most concerned with how the Environmental Protection Agency has weakened key climate, water and pollution regulations since President Donald Trump returned to office.

“I don’t want to stick my head in the sand and ignore the world burning,” Diggins said in an interview. “I feel like I have a responsibility to use my voice to advocate for change. And so that’s why it’s so important to me, because I want my great-grandkids to be able to build a snowman and try cross-country skiing someday, and be able go hiking and fishing and camping in the summer, and breathe clean air. I want that for them very badly.”

Diggins retired from professional ski racing this year after earning bronze in the women’s 10‑kilometer interval start at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. Many skiers expressed concern during these Olympic Games about climate change and the accelerating melt of the world’s glaciers. A warming world jeopardizes the future of their sport.

Diggins lives in Massachusetts. Did she drive an EV or take the train? Or a fossil fueled airplane? She and the rest of the athletes who went to Italy during the totally normal Modern Warm Period all took fossil fueled flights.

It’s not the typical lobbying group. Professional ski mountaineer Brody Leven only owns a suit to go to Washington with Protect Our Winters. But, he said, they are the ones who can hopefully bring people together around policy solutions to climate change.

“We’re good at looking at adversity in the face and still moving forward,” he said. “And we’re good at knowing something is going to be hard and trying to do it anyways.”

They met with Democrats and Republicans. Olympians Jaelin Kauf, Gus Schumacher, Bea Kim, Julia Kern and Olivia Giaccio were involved, Protect Our Winters said.

Did any of them take the train or EV? Leven came from Utah, as does Kauf. Then we have, in order, Alaska, California, Vermont, and Utah. And not one article I’ve read that is not from the AP, as above, nor the AP article above asked them how they traveled nor mentions their fossil fueled travel.

Supreme Court Sides With Obama Admin On Deporting Green Card Holders

I dearly love how many Credentialed Media outlets go with this

Supreme Court sides with Trump administration in immigration case dealing with green card holders

The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration Tuesday in an immigration case dealing with the government’s power over green card holders accused of crimes.

Orange Man Bad. Oh, wait

The 6-3 decision centers on an immigration officer’s 2012 decision to put lawful permanent resident Muk Choi Lau on immigration parole when he returned from a short trip to China because he had been accused of a counterfeiting crime.

Wait, 2012? Was Trump president back then?

Lau argued that overstepped the officer’s authority, and the decision wrongly allowed the Department of Homeland Security to swiftly begin deportation proceedings after he pleaded guilty to selling counterfeit clothes in New Jersey.

The high court disagreed. “Border officers did not have the burden to establish by clear and convincing evidence that Lau had committed a crime involving moral turpitude,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the opinion.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson disagreed, writing that the decision to put Lau on immigration parole effectively sentenced him to “immigration limbo” before he’d been convicted of any crime.

“I worry that the Court has now handed the Government a massive blank check,” she wrote in a dissent joined by her two liberal colleagues.

Dumbest justice ever. She yammers about things that are not part of a legal decision.

(Cornell) In September 2007, Muk Choi Lau, a Chinese national, was admitted to the U.S. as an LPR. In May 2012, Lau was charged with third-degree trademark counterfeiting in New Jersey. Before he went to trial, Lau temporarily left the country. Upon his return to the U.S. in June 2012, Lau was not admitted to the U.S. but instead was paroled due to his pending charge. Later, Lau pled guilty to the counterfeiting charge and was sentenced to two years’ probation. In 2014, DHS sought to remove Lau, alleging that since Lau had committed a crime of moral turpitude, he was ineligible to be admitted into the United States upon his return to the country. Lau challenged DHS’s removal efforts, claiming that as an LPR, he was presumptively already admitted into the United States when arriving from his time abroad.

More at that link, and, yes, the Trump DOJ did argue against Lau, as is their job. But, it started under Obama. Obviously, Sotomayor and Kagen voted in favor of the criminal alien.

Sometimes you just have to be an [insert slang term for the anus here] to do things right Keir Starmer is not an [insert slang term for the anus here], but he was still a terrible Prime Minister

My Twitter — I still refuse to call it 𝕏 — feed today has been filled with the lamentations of our good friends on the left over the resignation of Sir Keir Starmer as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. They keep telling us what a good and noble and kind man he is.

Well perhaps he is, but though the socialists love him, he’s been a rotten Prime Minister. He has allowed Great Britain to become infested with unassimilated immigrants, and the government, including the police, have to treat the ones who break the law with kid gloves, lest they be accused of Islamophobia and raaaaacism. The result was that everyone knew about the crimes the unassimilated immigrants were committing, and there was serious unrest, and then Rupert Lowe, MP, published his Rape Gang Inquiry Report.

What’s that you say? You’ve never heard of it? That’s hardly a surprise, given that the British and American credentialed media have been almost completely silent on it; it is being ignored to death. Where there is some slight coverage, the claims are that the report’s claim of 250,000 English women and girls — mostly underaged girls — having been raped, primarily by Pakistani and Muslim immigrants is overblown and inaccurate. But if 250,000 is an inaccurate number, the obvious question becomes: what is the acceptable number of rapes committed by Pakistani and Muslim immigrants, the number below which the Prime Minister was doing a good job? Mr Starmer and the rest of the Usual Suspects have been blaming not the immigrants, but people like Elon Musk for allowing the information about their crimes to be made public via social media.

Then there is President Donald Trump. Let’s tell the truth here: no one will ever call Mr Trump a good and noble and kind man! He is, as I have said before, an [insert slang term for the anus here]. But that [insert slang term for the anus here], but in doing his job he has closed our borders to illegal immigration, and has been very aggressive in finding, arresting, and deporting those people who are here illegally. The Department of Justice has been going after and prosecuting people who have tried to protect the illegals when they break the law in their efforts. He has gone after the fraudsters who have been bilking the taxpayers of millions and millions of dollars. A lot of people hate Mr Trump, but he has mostly been doing the right things. I’m sure that sitting down to lunch with Mr Starmer would be a perfectly fine and pleasant thing, while doing so with Mr Trump might not be so. Heaven forfend, he might order a steak well done, which is, to my mind, an impeachable offense.

But for a chief of state? Give me Mr Trump, and we can happily wave goodbye to Mr Starmer.

#TransgenderWoman brings more than male-pattern baldness to womanhood! Fraud, felonies, self-confessed mental illness, and now 33 years in the big house

At least some ‘transgender women,’ like Representative Tim “Sarah” McBride (D-DE) can sort of ‘pass’ as women, but how did the good citizens of Hillsborough County ever decide to elect Barry “Stacie-Marie” Laughton to the New Hampshire state legislature? Mr Laughton had previously been elected to a Democratic Party Ward position, in 2012, but resigned from that after it was disclosed that he had a previous conviction for conspiracy to commit credit card fraud and falsifying physical evidence.

Mr Laughton returned to politics, was elected to the state legislature, and wound up having to resign again:

On November 12, 2022, Laughton was arrested and held in jail on a single stalking charge of violating a court order, prohibiting her[1]As per our published Stylebook, while we always refer to the ‘transgendered’ by the honorifics and pronouns appropriate to their biological sex, we do not alter direct quotations from … Continue reading from posting on Facebook about a woman. She faced up to nine months in jail due to her suspended sentence for texting 911 during non-emergencies. Amid the charges, Laughton resigned from the House on December 22.

Following a 2015 arrest, Mr Laughton did something really radical, and told the truth:
