Cal. Federal Judge Attacks DOJ for Looking into Illegal Alien Voters
Timothy Birdnow
California has 20,000 illegal aliens on the voter rolls and a judge isn't going to put up with it anymore, so he is targeting the Department of Justice for it!
Instead of looking into California for not vetting their votters this judge is going after the Feds for daring to look into it.
U.S. District Judge David O. Carter, a Clinton appointee, has appointed a special "master" to look into this. He refuses to take action to segregate and disallow these bogus voters.
Carter has always been an activist. He forced an Orange County public school to allow a Gay Straight Alliance club on campus in 2000, well before this stuff was big.
He presided over the case of Anna Nichole Smith against the children of her late husband over the estate. His ruling, which gave Smith the lion's share of the estate, was vacated by a higher court since he had no jurisdiction in Texas.
He dismissed the case Barnett v. Obama in which Barnett challenged Obama's qualifications for being President because of lack of clarity over his being a natural born citizen and he did so solely on the basis that the judiciary cannot remove a sitting President. That is remedy, not judgement. The court could have heard the case and issued a judgement but left it for Congress to remove the President. But he didn't do it.
He forced a deal on Orange county when they broke up a tent city of homeless and made the county put them up in hotels for months, damaging the hotels in the process. He had a lot of homeless cases and always forced the community to house them. He was removed from one case for bias on the matter.
I could go on but you get the point; this guy is an activist and always has been.
Now he's going to screw Californians and America by letting 20,000 illegals vote. What a jackass.

Dems Preparing to Cause Chaos at Polls
Timothy Birdnow
I thought the Democrats were worried about voter suppression by intimidating them.
If you were worried about voters being intimidated wouldn't you try to send FEWER people to the polls, not more?
The only reason they are doing this is to have people at the polls to sow chaos, to cause trouble, to claim fake violations by the DOJ observers. This shows there is going to be massive trouble on election night across the country. There will be lies about the observers. There will be people yelling and screaming and in the chaos the Democrats hope to be able to keep polls open or do other dastardly things.
Beware.

Beat it COPpers!
Timothy Birdnow
So THIS is why I've been fighting with so many Gang Green trolls!
Globalists’ Climate Grift Returns In Full Force
The Facebook groups I belong to that deal with climate have been overflowing with argumentative people promoting the alarmist view and I've been busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest as a result. It's been frankly wearing me out.
Now I know why; they ARE paid trolls as I've been saying. Most of them have nothing but the climate groups on their pages. No friends, nothing else. That is the mark of a troll.
We know, too, that the Gang Green pays people to troll; it's what the Left does in general. Our side has to rely on unpaid volunteers such as myself.
Anyway Craig Rucker gives us a rundown of what is happening with COP 31, the 31st Woodstock of Climate Kooks, this time to be held in Turkey, because as we all know Turkey emits no carbon dioxide and thus is sorely grieved by our careless exhalation.
This current crop at COP will be about implementing the Gang-Greenous policies. It will include:
Dynamic and resilient health systems (running on expensive, unreliable wind, solar, and backup power)Recycling materials of every description (they prefer the term "circularity”)
Resilient, sustainable food policies (to restrict meat consumption and use of nitrogen fertilizers, biotech crops, and even tractors)[Note from Tim; that will mean eating bugs are weeds.]
Youth education (indoctrination and fearmongering, instilling fervent activism alongside the belief that they have no future)
Craig is right and this will be yet another bloviating batch of blather yet it will be praised as forward thinking and hailed as the model that we must implement. Sadly, they have been building an army around the globe that is currently implementing just this sort of stuff, that is promoting U.N. Agenda 21/30 even now. You can see it with bike trails on city streets, with more open spaces and taller apartment buildings etc. They have been quietly gaining ground on us.
Craig Rucker realizes all this and does a fine job pointing it out.
At any rate I knew something was in the wind. It's good to finally know what it is.

Consumer Confidence Rising
Timothy Birdnow
Just in time for the elections. Thank God!
FTA
The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index increased to 91.7 this month from an upwardly revised 84.2 in September.
The question is, was consumer confidence being reported intentionally as low to damage Trump and the GOP? Like all polls, we suddenly find a surge in confidence just before the election. Color me skeptical.
There is all kinds of good economic news. Yes, the price of gas is a big issue, and everyone wanted there to be deflation, to have prices drop, something that just wasn't happening. Wages need to increase. Deflation is a terribly destructive thing, but few understand it since we haven't had deflation since the early days of the 20th century. But if we can get wages rising (and they are) inflated prices will be more affordable.
I think the Democrats are going to suffer in this upcoming election - no blue wave. Hopefully no wave at all. Let us pray it is so.

Gobsmacked!
Timothy Birdnow
The Catholic Church has degenerated into a clown circus.
[link-https://redstate.com/terichristoph/2026/10/27/white-house-fires-back-after-catholic-bishop-apologizes-for-praying-with-trump-n2208681]
RedState - Leading conservative site covering news, politics, and culture with analysis and commentary
White House Fires Back After Catholic Archbishop Apologizes for Praying With President Trump
Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey "money" Grob repented of visiting President Trump for insufficient reason and the President pushed back in his inimitable way.
Grob and some others had gone to the White House to nag the President about not letting enough illegal aliens in. They then prayed with him.
Grob and the other liberal redcoats are mad Trump used a photo of them praying without asking their permission (as if he needed it in his own home.)
Here is the ridiculously long "apology" letter from Grob. Here is a snippet:
So, following a 90-minute discussion with White House domestic policy staff and advisors, we were eventually ushered into the Oval Office. The president greeted us, took a seat at his desk and presented us with commemorative tokens. We were then directed to stand behind him and pray. After which several photos were taken and we were ushered out. Unbeknownst to the group of bishops a video was also taken. But permission for the public distribution or posting of either the video or photos was not given by the bishops.It did not take long thereafter for the White House to post a video and photos of the prayer. I soon began receiving messages of serious concern over the possibility that I had inadvertently participated in a political event less than two weeks before a national election. I also heard from some who felt wounded because of the ways they or their family had been harmed by the president’s policies.
I feel a heavy sadness, not only over the pain I caused, but also for the fact that something so sacred to a group of religious leaders, prayer to our Heavenly Father, would be manipulated in that way. We came in good faith to try to work for the betterment of our fellow human beings, to ease their suffering, to build up the common good, and to pray with a president, not to pose for a political photo opportunity to benefit the few. We should never have been put in that position by the White House.
What did they think would happen? EVERYTHING in the White House is filmed.
(BTW heavy sadness often accompanies heavy drinking. One wonders if he is partaking of too much Old Milwaukee.)
And they should be pleased the President posted it because it encourages prayer and gives the Catholic Church good publicity. The only reason to be unhappy is because they hate the President's policies and his Administration. It is Grob and others who are making an issue of this, which means it is they who have politicized it. Praying with Bishops is hardly something promoting a political agenda on the President's side.
The Red State article quotes the Administration courtesy of Fox News:
"There has never been a greater president for Catholic Americans than President Trump," Rogers said, citing the president's efforts to stop the federal government's "weaponization" of its agencies against Christians, pardon pro-life activists, and defend religious freedom.
Denver Archbishop James Golka, who joined Grob in praying over President Trump, has an entirely different approach, saying, "We pray for people. No matter whether we agree or disagree on anything, we always pray for our country and leaders."
That is exactly right; the Trump Administration has protected Catholics all along, while the Biden Administration weaponized the DOJ against them (and so too did the Obama Administration.) But the Bishops are angry because Trump stopped the flow of illegal aliens, something the Church counted on to refill their coffers (since most were Catholics) and they are now in a position to actually evangelize rather than live off the fat of the land. They are also mad he shut down USAID, which helped fund the immigration machine which Catholic Charities suckled off of and then organized the invasion of America.
So Gob now apologizes for meeting with a world leader, something the Church has long done, and for being photographed. Oh, he writes from Latin America while he's at it, to show where his allegiance lies. It isn't with his own archdiocese.
(BTW that's why I am rooting for the Rays over the Brewers, but it looks like a forlorn hope.)
Gob should lay off the beer that made Milwaukee famous.

Neck and Neck in Israel
Timothy Birdnow
Benjamin Netanyahu is declaring victory in the Israeli elections as an overnight surge in his ballot numbers seem to suggest he and the right wing in Israel have won.
Bebe is the rock upon which our hopes of ultimate peace lay, and if he were to be removed everything would come crashing down; Hamas would launch major counterstrikes knowing Israel would use "proportionality" in their response, and Iran would become more active again.
We desperately need him to remain as Prime Minister.
Not everyone agrees:
Channel 12’s revised exit poll projected 52 seats for Netanyahu’s bloc, 50 for the Jewish-led opposition, and 18 for Arab parties. Channel 13 and public broadcaster Kan each projected a 51-51 tie between the two principal blocs, with Arab parties holding the remaining 18 seats.
But the wind appears to be at Netanyahu's back. Let us hope and pray he takes the majority and can take the actions necessary to protect his own country and protect the rest of us by taking the heat.
Right now Western Civilization is hanging by a thread and any one loss of a "MAGA" leader, be they in Israel or anywhere else, imperils the survival of our entire civilization. Bebe is the bedrock in the Middle East and the survival of Israel is inextricably tied to the survival of us all Oh, there will be a "west" small w but it will not be Western Civilization anymore. It will be something alien and evil. Right now each and every election is critical to us all.
So let's pray the Left doesn't steal the election from Netanyahu. We need him more than we know.

The Tears of a Clown
Timothy Birdnow
Cue the tiniest violin:
From the New York Pest:
WASHINGTON – Former FBI official Nikki Floris broke down in tears outside a federal courtroom Tuesday during a preliminary hearing on charges that she and another ex-bureau official lied to Congress about burying the Hunter Biden laptop story.
Floris was seen weeping in a courthouse hallway during a break in the probable cause hearing in the district court for Washington, DC.
She and fellow former FBI official, Bradley Benavides, self-surrendered last week and face up to five years in prison if convicted of lying to the House Judiciary Committee in 2023 about their involvement in discrediting stories about the troubled first son.
When a plot against the king or emperor fails the plotters usually get to enjoy the loss of their heads. All this broad is facing is five years in the slammer and she's crying about it. Look at what happened to Brutus.
She knew what she was doing was wrong, but she chose to do it because she thought the Democrats would be the winning side. She thought wrong and she has to pay for her crime, and it WAS a crime, no matter her motives.
So cry me a river, but it isn't and shouldn't matter. This chick deserves to be in prison. She attempted to subvert the elections - the bedrock of the American political system - and she made war on the truth. That cannot go unpunished.
Rest assured; if it had worked she would still be working for the government and she would be all smiles now. She is only unhappy because she got caught and is facing the penalty.
Unnfortunatly this is a D.C. judge and the two FBI agents are claiming they don't remember the multiple e-mails they shared discussing the case. Their attorney also characterized this as a witch hunt because Kash Patel ordered an agent to look for crimes - something unusual, since the FBI has been protecting it's own for decades now.
So there is a real chance this pair will walk away free. But let us hope the judge throws the book at them. They lied to Congress. They lied to America. They were busy with the media concocting lies about the Hunter Biden laptop when they clearly knew better. A fair jury trial would convict them.
So ball all you want little girl; you still belong in prison.

Dems Demand Truce over Omar
Timothy Birdnow
But the investigation started under Joe Biden.
Did the Democrats show any such compassion to Republicans over the years? Ted Stevens up in Alaska? Long Island rep. George Santos? Paul Gosar of Arizona? Chuck Edwards of North Carolina? How about Ken Paxton, who they tried to remove from office? Todd Akin, who was not charged with any crime but was Borked by the Democrats anyway. How about Bork? Kavanaugh? How about the President himself, who they investigated endlessly and impeached twice. But now they think Trump should call off the DOJ because they fear losing an election if it continues now.
NOW they want a truce!
From the article:
Nearly 200 House Democrats are moving to shield Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., from further investigation after federal investigators raided her Washington, D.C., home earlier this month.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., led 175 members of the House Democratic Caucus in a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Attorney General Todd Blanche, criticizing the probe into Omar's immigration history as a partisan attack and accusing them of trying to sway her bid for another term in Congress.
"Congresswoman Omar is seeking reelection in Minnesota’s 5th congressional district in just one week. News of the search warrant, whether properly predicated or not, could affect voters’ decisions, which is exactly why federal law enforcement should not engage in such conduct when voters are casting their ballots. This type of interference strips Minnesotans of their right to a free and fair election guaranteed to them under the Constitution," the letter said.
"We stand with Congresswoman Omar and condemn the weaponization of law enforcement against her. You have already disgraced the offices you hold, and we demand you refrain from taking any further actions that could affect the outcome of the upcoming election."
IF the GOP weaponized the law against Omar (and again, this probe started under Biden) then it means she is innocent, something that appears increasingly unlikely. Also, if this be weaponization of the law, turnabout is fair play since they have done that repeatedly over the years to our side. If you don't want something don't start something.
Of course this is not about weaponization; it's about political power and how they plan to use this to gin up support and money, now and in the future. They are telegraphing how they are going to spin this, as a corrupt would-be tyrant using the law to take out political enemies (as if Omar has EVER sponsored any real legislation). All she is is a reliable yea or nae vote for the Democrats.
The Democrats are hoping to split off the weakling RINO Republicans. This has worked in days gone by; the "principled" RINO's will want to protect "comity" in government and will surrender to the Dems as they always have. "Be the bigger man". They are like Ashley Wilkes in Gone with the Wind, pompous asses who pride themselves on being superior to the point where they refuse to get their hands dirty but sneer at those who do. These have long been the useful idiots of the Democrats, who disobey the rules they quote to these clowns at will but the RINO wing never stops listening to them. Like Charlie Brown and the football. They always believe "this time".
Here is how the Dems justify their claim:
Her fellow House Democrats recounted the allegations in their letter, saying, "Your probe into the congresswoman reportedly concerns her late father’s filing of immigration paperwork after she fled Somalia’s civil war at age eight, making her a U.S. citizen at age seventeen."
But they argued it does not justify "a pre-dawn raid on her home for paperwork her father filed when she was a minor."
But it has nothing to do with her father's paperwork error (he conveniently forgot to mention he was a warlord's hatchet man) but with her own actions. She was old enough at the time not to get citizenship through her father and she purposely had her staff alter documents to make her appear younger to hide this fact. That is a felony.
Jaypal knows it too; don't kid yourself.
It also ties in with the fact she married her own brother to bring him here illegally as well. Jaypal knows that too.
So she is lying through her teeth with all of this. The authorities did not make a pre-dawn raid (like they did to Roger Stone) nor did they bust down the door. This was nowhere near as bad as what they did to President Trump, tearing up his home and sniffing Melania's panties (well, you can't blame the agents for NOT sniffing Omar's). And if Ilhan wants to end this, if she is innocent, she would have provided her DNA willingly along with turning over her phone and computer. The DOJ had to seize it.
And we do not know what else the DOJ is investigating about her. She has deep ties to the Somali community, the one that was cashing in big time on stolen government money. Was she at the forefront of that?
This is not weaponization, it is not something started by Trump, and if it were weaponization Ilhan could have ended it by being forthcoming. It was SHE who dragged this into the political season (which, granted, is hard to avoid as it's always political season these days.)
As ye sow so shall ye reap. They started it. Now they don't like the results.

Bolsonaro Shoots the Moon
Timothy Birdnow
Flavio Bolsonaro has flown the coop, buggering out of his home country for parts unknown in the United States. He is one immigrant I wholeheartedly welcome.
Can't blame him; his father died under house arrest after spending years in prison on fake, phony charges. The da Silva government hounded a political enemy to his grave - and now wants to hound the rightful winner of the Brazilian election as well.
Trump needs to squash Brazil's economy for this. And perhaps find something to indict da silva over.
Da Silva is a socialst, probably a Communist, and his continued power in Brazil - South America's largest country and has the largest economy on the continent. The stability of Brazil is very important, especially since there had been a rising tide of Communism in the region, a tide reversed with the ending of USAID funding the radicals. Brazil may take up the slack, so we need to force da Silva out. He will never leave voluntarily.
Elon Musk has activated Starlink over Brazil so the public can get real information, but he waited too long. Now da Silva is entrenched and will probably remain that way. There needs to be a color revolution in the only Portuguese speaking country west of Portugal.

Judge Declares Acting U.S. Attorney Looking into Vote Fraud Disqualified
Timothy Birdnow
Channeling his inner de Moraes (the boy from Brazil) a federrale' judge told an acting U.S. attorney handindling illegal alien vote fraud that he was disqualified.
Actually the judge didn't bother to inform First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli he was disqualified, it was a journalist named Brittny Mejia, a shill for the L.A. Timess. Mr. Essayli was busy with a hearing over 20,000 illegal aliens on the vorer rolls while the judge apparently held a secret hearing to bar Mr. Essayli from his work.
You might say they legally assailed Essayli.
Brittny Mejia@brittny_mejiaAfter ballot hearing today, I informed @USAttyEssayli that a federal judge ruled this afternoon that he is unlawfully serving as a "de facto” United States Attorney.
Disqualifications in two cases delayed for now. Essayli told me the case "will be decided by the Supreme Court”7:52 PM · Oct 27, 2026·5,799Views
One has to wonder what standing the anonymous plaintiff had, if there even WAS a plaintiff. Certainly this is over the paygrade of said judge, who is at most a district court judge.
On what basis does a judge disqualify an acting U.S. Attorney? Acting means he does not need approval from Congress until his temporary term is up (usually ninety days) or the President removes him or another attorney is appointed and confirmed by Congress. The Courts have no say in such matters; that is encroaching on another branch of government.
As the Red State article points out, a similar case has already been appealed to SCOTUS after the Administration lost in the 9th Circus (as expected). It has this to say:
What's happening here has nothing to do with Essayli's qualifications as a U.S. Attorney and everything to do with politics. Before being appointed as Interim U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California in April 2025, Essayli was a member of the California Assembly for four years and was well known as a huge thorn in the side of the Democrat supermajority cabal in Sacramento — and for being equally antagonistic to wimpy Republicans in the capital. Essayli also served as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Central District from October 2014 through February 2018 and was part of the prosecution team that responded to the terrorist attack in San Bernardino in December 2015. So, he's clearly qualified for the position.
So he was disqualified solely because he rocked the boat.
Actually the unnamed judge stayed the ruling until SCOTUS made a permanent decision.
But this should never have made it to court and the judge should have issued summary judgment to dismiss the case.
At any rate the judiciary is out of control, and so is the corporate media. Both need to be reined in.
There appears to be an international brotherhood of judges ready to usurp power any time they please. This has got to stop.

Darth de Moraes Pulls Bolsonaro's passport
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a very disturbing article about the Great Steal in Brazil and how the winning candidate who lost the election for President is now being hunted.
The hunter is a judge named Alexandre de Moraes, a supreme court "justice" who yanked Bolsonaro's passport so he could not flee to the United States while the Administration of "Lula" Da Silva finds a crime to hang on him so they can imprison him as his father before him.
I am mindful of the scene in The Return of the Jedi where Luke Skywalkers says "I am a Jedi, like my father before me". Looks like Bolsonaro is a political prisoner like his father before him. I thought of this when I saw a photo of de Moraes courtesy of Juanita Broderick (herself no stranger to abuse by tyrannical government).The man looks like Darth Vader without his helmet on.
He certainly ACTS like Darth Vader. "we shall end this destructive conflict and bring ORDER to Brazil" would fit coming from his mouth.
Marco Rubio appears to have offered Bolsonaro asylum for both he and his family, which is why Darth Moraes has seized his passport; de Moraes wants to imprison Bolsonaro so nobody ever dare try this again. It's what is waiting for Donald Trump when he is out of office, I might add; maybe the Democrats can bring this guy in as a consultant.
The Dark Lord had already been universally condemned for some of the tyrannical things he had done in bygone days - even by the International Order. He's a corrupt, evil man. Look at his eyes; they appear demonic.
So Brazil has now fallen and it won't be rising soon. de Silva is going to cement power, and nonody will dare challenge him again.
Unless...
Elon Musk (God bless him!) has activated Starlink over Brazil so the people can get the truth. The ruling junta had shut down the news media and internet outlets but now the public can get the truth via starlink.
The Star Wars saga ended with the destruction of the Empire when Vader killed his master, the Emperor Palpatine. I rather doubt de Moraes will kill da Silva.
""
(BTW doesn't de Moraes sound like "de money" from History of the World "count de money, count de money".

Why Climate Alarmism is Wrong
This comes from Anthony Watts courtesy of American Thinker:
For decades, Americans have been bombarded with frightening predictions about global warming, now more commonly called "climate change.” We have been warned of disappearing islands, starving polar bears, unprecedented hurricanes, collapsing food supplies, and a planet supposedly approaching catastrophe.
Scientists have issued warnings, politicians have repeated them, and the news media have amplified them. Rarely does a major weather event occur today without someone suggesting that climate change has made it worse.
But after decades of predictions, we have something more valuable than alarming computer projections: actual observations. Newsflash: those observations provide considerable reason for optimism about our future.
Consider the evidence assembled in Climate at a Glance, a collection of more than 50 climate topics drawing on data from organizations including NOAA, NASA, the EPA, and the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The picture painted from actual data is considerably more encouraging than the nightly news would have you believe.
Extreme weather: The missing catastrophe.
The extraordinary decline in weather-related deaths is a lesson that flies in the face of worst-case predictions.
We are repeatedly told that hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and droughts are becoming unprecedented disasters.
Yet global hurricane records do not show a clear long-term increase in the total number of tropical cyclones. NOAA records also show that the most violent U.S. tornadoes have not exhibited the relentless upward trend suggested by sensational headlines.
The IPCC acknowledges substantial uncertainty about long-term trends in several categories of extreme weather, including tornadoes and flooding.
There are important exceptions. Heavy precipitation has increased in many regions, and heat extremes have become more frequent globally. But the evidence does not justify treating every destructive storm as proof of an accelerating planetary emergency
Weather has always been dangerous. What has changed dramatically is our ability to survive it. Perhaps the most reassuring climate statistic receives remarkably little attention.
global warmingDeaths from weather-related disasters have fallen by more than 99 percent over the past century, according to historical disaster data discussed in Climate at a Glance.
Better forecasting, stronger buildings, modern transportation, improved sanitation, and emergency communications have transformed humanity's ability to withstand nature.
Even as populations have grown and development has expanded, the risk of dying in a weather disaster has declined enormously. This demonstrates something essential: Human adaptation works.
Another surprise: A greener planet and more abundant food.
Remember the warnings that global warming would devastate agriculture and produce widespread food shortages? The actual record is considerably more encouraging.
Global crop yields have increased dramatically over recent decades. Rice, wheat, and corn production have repeatedly reached record levels. Modern agricultural technology deserves much of the credit, but rising atmospheric carbon dioxide also contributes to plant growth.
NASA satellite observations have documented substantial global greening, with increased carbon dioxide identified as an important contributor. Plants use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis. That elementary biological fact sometimes seems to disappear from discussions portraying CO2 exclusively as a pollutant.
Of course, agriculture still faces drought, flooding, pests, and heat stress. Yet the evidence of improving productivity deserves at least as much attention as speculative forecasts of agricultural collapse.
What happened to the disappearing islands and polar bears?
For years, the public heard predictions that low-lying Pacific islands would disappear beneath rising seas. Yet research has found that many coral atolls have remained stable or increased in land area as sediments shift and accumulate.
That does not eliminate the challenges of rising sea levels, especially saltwater intrusion and flooding. What it does demonstrate is that island geography is more complicated than the familiar image of entire nations simply slipping underwater.
Polar bears provide another instructive example. Despite decades of alarming imagery, the widely predicted population collapse has not occurred.
Here’s the biggest surprise: the worst-case climate models have been withdrawn.
Computer models can be useful scientific tools, but their results depend heavily on assumptions about emissions, climate sensitivity, and future economic development. One particularly troubling example is RCP 8.5, a very-high-emissions scenario frequently used to illustrate effects of extreme future warming. Its plausibility as a realistic future has been strongly challenged, and it has subsequently been withdrawn from scientific use.
RCP 8.5 became the climate establishment’s favorite tool because it generated the most frightening headlines, not because it reflected realistic energy or economic trends. For years, policymakers, media outlets, and activists treated this extreme scenario as business as usual, even though it assumed wildly unrealistic coal consumption, stagnant technological progress, and population trajectories detached from observed reality.
Read the rest here
I think Anthony went a little too gentle here; there are other things that make the climatechange hysteria moot that he does not mention. For instance:
1. The Earth's rotation has increased. This is at odds with the climate models which say it should have decreased because meltwater from the poles would bunch around the equator (a basic scientific principle) and this would slow the rotation down. Instead it increased, which suggests more ice at the poles. Imagine a figure skater doing a spin. What does she do? She scrounges herself tight, puts her arms above her head and spins away. Long and narrow spins much better than short and stout. Yet the Earth is acting long and narrow. It's as if polar ice has increased.
2. That's because polar ice has increased. Greenland gained a small amount of ice this year and Antarctica has been gaining ice for decades now, everywhere except the sea ice in West Antarctica (which interestingly has numerous undersea volcanoes) and at the Antarctic Peninsula (I lilked when it was the Palmer Peninsula) which is also highly volcanic.and also juts out enough to pick up some warmth from the subantarctic. But the big East Antarctic ice sheet (EAIS) has been getting fatter and fatter.
3. Cloud cover has been dropping off despite claims the planet is warming and sea water is thus evaporating into the atmosphere. Water makes clouds. Of course you have to have stuff around which clouds can form - aerosols - of which we seem to have a dearth thanks to pollution control, but also this speaks to other aerosols, like those dust from dust storms in places like Africa and also from wild fires, both of which are fewer and farther between now thanks to human efforts to control both. Contrary to popular belief wildfires are NOT worse than before, and in the First World are mostly caused by attempts to restore forests to their "natural state" which means fires. Fire is nature's way of clearing the deadwood.
4. Precipitation has risen slightly worldwide, but only slightly and it should have risen a LOT since warming should be evaporating a lot more water.
5. There is the matter of the "missing heat". The planet has not warmed as much as models predicted it would, and so climatologists have been looking for this "missing heat" which they are convinced is down in the deep oceans. Only they can't find it; they can find SOME missing heat but not all of it and they refuse to believe it isn't there. So they send down Argo probes and are forever looking. They've looked under the couch, in the dresser, etc.
6. They cannot explain the two pauses in temperature rise in the 21st century, both of which do not comport with climate models.
7. They cannot find the tropical tropospheric hot spot. They find some warming but nothing like what they predicted. The models say most of the heat should be bunched up in the tropics, near the "tropopause" the top of the troposphere. It isn't.
8. Drownings have been declining worldwide for decades, even while there is a claim that weather is more extreme. This does not fit. Yes, we are better at stopping it now, but not that much; kids still take risks and you can't fix stupid. But if the weather were getting worse more people would be drowning, they aren't. This comports with Watts' statement about fewer major weather events.
9. The increase in damage from weather events is clearly a coefficient of people building in places they didn't used to build, in flood plains, on seashores with unpredictable tidal events, etc. There is a big resort town just north of St. Louis on the Mississippi River I used to go to a lot. It was an old, old town that was always cool but had little in the way of businesses and the like because it flooded every two years. After the Great Flood of 1993 (and the follow up in '95) the government bailed the community out and an explosion of building ensued. It is now a major resort town, with a huge marina, all sorts of businesses on the main drag, dining, lodging, and condos. But it still floods every two years. The Reubel Hotel sits on the river side of the main drag and gets flooded regularly but they keep rebuilding, no doubt because the government guarantees them. That is what is happening to increase weather-related costs. (BTW since the Great Flood flooding has dropped off; why is that if the climate is getting worse?)
These are just a few items not touched on by Dr. Watts (I feel free to mention them where Watts does not because I am just a blogger and he doesn't want a big fight with other specialists). He also does not touch on the uncertainty of the temperature data - something HE illustrated by doing a survey of the surface data stations and showing how badly corrupted said data truly is and how most of this is estimated and not actual data.
The fact is the models do not comport with what is happening in nature, and when it comes to a dispute between nature and scientific models the models should lose. But there is too much money and power on the line to simply dismiss AGW theory as incorrect, so they keep plugging away at it hoping to fundamentally transform our society into the world socialist utopia. It's just a way of backdooring the dream society of the Elitists and the Left.

Judge Releases Illegal Alien who Beheaded Iwo Jima Statue on just a Couople of Thousand Dollars Bond
Timthy Birdnow
$2500 bond for beheading the Iwo Jima statue? This guy will eat that and flee the country.
Prince William County Circuit Court Chief Judge Petula Metzler ruled Monday the illegal alien vandal could get out on this low bond. No doubt he'll pay a bondsman who he plans on stiffing.
Her bio says she was a cucumber picker from rural North Carolina, then got an English degree at George Mason and went to law school at Catholic University.. She was named to a judgeship in 2016 and then elected to her current post in 2021. I have no doubt she's a loyal Democrat.
ICE has filed a detainer against the vandal and so he'll be arrested and deported, if he doesn't flee first.

No Country for Old Men - After the EMP
Timothy Birdnow
A wise precaution in any case but isn't this interesting it's being prepared for now?
From the Epoch Times article:
Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed reporting on the issue published by Fox News Digital on Oct. 25.
"FORTRESS is strategic deterrence in action, ensuring our defenses are hardened, proactive, and ready,” Parnell said in an X post sharing the article on Oct. 25.
FORTRESS stands for Federal Operations for Resilience, Troop Resources, Energy, Supply, and Survivability.
Parnell said he created FORTRESS America "because we can no longer rely on two oceans to protect us.”
"That outdated assumption no longer reflects the threats we face,” he said.
"President [Donald] Trump and Secretary [Pete] Hegseth understand this and have already paved the way with Golden Dome and a renewed focus on the Western Hemisphere, including Greenland and Panama.
end
This should have been done years ago and is a testament to the unseriousness of the Biden and Obama Administrations respectively, and probably to the Bush Administration as well. We were sitting ducks for an infrastructure attack.
Years ago I warned on American Thinker about the dangers of an EMP attack on America. This was before Congress came out with their report (and before the novel One Second After, which I suspected I inspired, at least in part) and the U.S. government was still officially denying the EMP Effect existed and could take our the electric grid. Someone wrote in an angry letter (which AT published) denying there was such a thing and calling me a crank and a liberal. He claimed to be a person who was working on the Star Fish Prime tests. Interesting; the very next year Congress admitted everything.
At any rate this report by Congress has triggered a lot of concern and not just from crazy doomsdayers or political pundits but from the military itself, and little was being done to remedy the situation.
Equipment has to be hardened, by which we mean it needs to be sheltered by a Faraday Cage, which would direct the fast moving electrons to ground. When an atomic bomb detonates in the air it strips the atmosphere of charged particles which move in a fast-moving wave (called the Compton Effect). This wave is too fast for 90%conventional surge protection so it blows out all electronics. Also, an EMP comes in three "flavors" or surges with the E1 surge frying electronics but the E3 surge actually triggering current flow in geological formations, so the ground itself burns out our electric grid. Since everything has complex electronics now that would mean the end of our civilization.
Here is a simple article explaining what happens.
The Congressional report argued that within one year of the EMP attack 90% of our population would be dead. That is not a typo. They would die of starvation, of violence, of disease, of thirst and of exposure. It would make Mel Gibson's Road Warrior appear tame.
Other things can cause an EMP than a nuclear device. In 1859 there was a huge coronal mass ejection from the Sun that hit the Earth. Named after it's discoverer (who was watching at the time) it became known as the Carrington Event. It destroyed all the electronics of the day, which mostly consisted of a few telegraph lines. If Carrington were to hit today our whole civilization would die horribly. I believe asteroid strikes could trigger an EMP too.
Also, it's possible to make a much smaller EMP without a nuclear bomb.
That is just an EMP. There are other ways to wreck our defenses by taking out the grid. A nasty computer virus, for example.
We have to be prepared, and the military has to be prepared. Being in the military would be the best place to be if an EMP were to hit; they'd have stockpiled food. It might be MRE's, which taste like shit, as I'm given to understand, but who cares when everyone else is starving! But you will be first into combat with any nasties. And there will be plenty of nasties out there.
The rest of us will have to try to hide and hope for the best. Stockpiled food will last some time, if you are careful, but not that long. Everyone needs to learn how to farm and make sure they have seeds - and greenhouses. And a secure place to go. Ideally have some community which is largely self-sufficient already and capable of protecting itself. Guns are not optional. Neither is medicine and knowledge of what to do with it.
Make sure you have light, and what you need to make light work. Batteries are fine until they run out. Get rechargeable and an inverter so you can recharge them off a car battery. Stock up on oil lamps and kerosene. Be sure to have a fire starter and not just a lighter; ideally an old-fashioned flint and metal one would be ideal. And be prepared to run at any moment.
As for your place ideally in the mountains and with one way in and out - one way that can be blocked easily. Me, I always have my Ozark Hilton, but it really isn't defensible and it is not far from a small highway. That would probably be impassible thanks to the locals so if I got in there I may be o.k. - may be. But it is the best I could do. I bought it because it was close to resorts stuff - canoe rivers, a big Army Corps of Engineers lake, some decent hiking, even by Big Springs, the largest natural spring in the U.S. Lovely country. But my property would hide me but not protect me. But it's the best I can do if the SHTF. Oh, and I'd have to bring all my food down there if it does. Leave it there and it will be plundered by some local thieves. They already stole everything I left there.
And I'd have to be able to GET there; hard to do when all cars no longer work.
Anyway enough survivalism.
The point is it is interesting they are doing this now. But it's wise; with a possible widening of the Russo-Ukrainian war, and with the war with Iran, we had bloody well be ready for such an attack. If Iran could just get one nuclear bomb over Nebraska about five hundred miles up...
Within weeks everyone would be starving. Within months cannibalism would be common. Within a year only a few would be left; preppers who made the right decisions, survivalists who killed and ate people, and the military. Most of us would be gone and that includes me. This would be no country for old men. It wouldn't be a country for most young men either, nor women.
Let's hope and pray it never comes to that.

Violent Crime Dropped under Trump
Timothy Birdnow
This is what happens when you actually enforce the law.
This happened during the Reagan era too and we saw crime drop quite a bit under Reagan, and it remained down un Bush and Clinton but started ticking back up as the border became unsecure and lots of criminals began coming in.
Now though it sucks to be a violent criminal; you will go to jail and if you are a foreigner get deported to some hellhole country with prisons that are more horrible than anything. So crime has dropped precipitously.
I hope the American People remember this on election day. Being secure in your person and belongings is one of the very core jobs of the government.
FTA:
Violent and property crime victimization rates declined across the United States in 2025, with aggravated assaults falling 31% and motor vehicle thefts dropping 30%, according to a new Justice Department report that the Trump administration cited as evidence of the success of its law-and-order agenda.
Preliminary findings from the Bureau of Justice Statistics show that the violent crime victimization rate, excluding simple assault, fell 25%, from 9.9 victimizations per 1,000 Americans age 12 and older in 2024 to 7.4 in 2025.
Aggravated assaults declined from 4.5 to 3.1 per 1,000 people, while the overall property crime victimization rate dropped 19%, from 138 to 111.2 per 1,000 households.
More good news for America. People just need to give Trump time in getting the war to end and unleashing the amazing power of the engine of the American economy. Right now he's dealing with an existential threat. People need to understand that.
I heard a whiny caller on Glenn Beck's radio show this morning sniveling about the economy.
"I just wish Trump would shore more compassion about the economy and high cost of living" he complained.
Trump isn't a warm fuzzy; he's a pragmatic doer. If you want someone to feel your pain you should vote for Hillary Clinton (well, Bill) but what good does THAT do? Trump was and continues to do something about the problem. He's gone after every and any source of oil to get gas prices down, and he's trying to find alternate sources of goods. It's not his fault we had35 years of globalism where the U.S. got taen advantage of; he's trying now to fix that. Naturally the swindlers are not please their favorite chump is now fighting back. But in the end Trump will prevail as long as wimpy dudes like that caller fail to vote because Trump isn't going around crying with them. We didn't hire him to do that; we hired a shark, not Flipper.
America had better wake up.

Schiffless No-Account Dems Claiming Trump, GOP Plotting to Steal Elections
Timothy Birdnow
More proof the GOP may well win on election night.
You can always tell what they are up to - the tell us. In this case they are trying to do what they always do - steal the election - and they are setting up for their when they lose, which tells me they have internal polling showing they are in trouble.
So they say Trump and the GOP are going to steal the elections.
It's always projection with the Demi-Left.
In this case it is Adam Schiff accusing the Administration of trying to subvert election results over a lawsuit filed against the Democrats for trying to trick voters by promoting a life-long Democrats named Dan Sullivan to run against a Republican incumbent named Dan Sullivan so as to split the Alaskan vote and win the Senate seat. The particulars don't really matter; it's just the most convenient thing to snipe at. All that Schiff is doing is bringing up the sense that the GOP is crooked and trying to "steal" the election up there and everywhere else.
This will be followed by violent protests after election day in which they will claim Trump cheated, just as they would have done.
I believe this is a measure of some desperation and that it suggests to me that the Democrats are grasping at straws, setting up for a post-electoral protest and nothing more. I think they may well believe they are going to lose.

A Plot to Overthrow the American Government
Timothy Birdnow
Treason is the reason for the season.
If military brass are involved they should be prosecuted for treason; they cannot discuss overthrowing the elected government and their Commander-in-Chief and the Constitution without it being so.
Those dirtbags swore an oath to the Constitution; they cannot talk about "extra-constitutional" actions.
They now constitute the domestic threat to which they pledged to defend us.
From the Daily Caller article:
A collection of non-governmental organizations staffed by former members of the military, federal government, and intelligence community is reportedly working to undermine the Constitution following the midterm elections.
The alleged network of former military officers, intelligence officials, and ex-USAID personnel is coordinating to advise state governments on scenarios involving military intervention during the 2026 midterm elections, according to investigative researcher Jennica Pounds, better known online as DataRepublican. The groups, which include Renew to Thrive and National Security Leaders For America (NSL4A), have backed anti-Trump protests, discussed when the federal government could be declared illegitimate, and entertained the idea of "extra-constitutional” measures, raising questions about whether they are preparing for a constitutional crisis or actively working to manufacture a color revolution, a series of non-violent, mass public protests, and civil disobedience movements.
This is conspiracy to overthrow the United States government as well as treason and the FBI needs to be shoulder-deep in this. These are clear crimes.
They are plotting a color revolution in the U.S. (something discussed during the first Trump administration.)
If they try to do this it will trigger a bloody and violent civil war. Americans cannot and will not sit idly by and let a group of unelected disgruntled military and civil servant types seize control of our government and dissolve the Constitution.
Trump did not seize power; he was duly elected BY THE PEOPLE and he has been quite careful to obey all laws, including all ridiculous orders from Biden/Obama judges. So these groups have nigh a leg to stand upon. They are just criminals.
And if they do this they will be enemies of We the People. I wouldn't recommend going there.
It's funny; they claim they must cancel the Constitution to save it with their little beerhall Putsch. Who are the Fascists here? Who is violating the basic rules of a Democratic Republic? It's not Donald Trump.
And you know full well all of these people were fired, and mainly for cause, by the Administration; this is pure payback, not principle.
We need to throw these creeps in a hole and throw away the key. I wish Gitmo were still in it's heyday.
Wonder if they've been in contact with the Russians or Chinese or Iran?

A Saint in Climate Change Inc.
Timothy Birdnow
John Arnold, a former Enron exec who made billions selling natural gas and oil, has become one of the principal financiers of the Gang Green, and his labyrinth of money laundering to radical environmental groups aka the Gang Green, has the global warming kooks flush with cash.
This article was originally from The Blaze and behind a paywall, but the good folks at Conservative Angle kindly reproduced it for us.
I suspected there was some new billionaire money; the climate alarmists have been very active on the Facebook groups to which I belong. Lots of scientists. I've been in a long one with an astrophysicist from NASA, or formerly from NASA, who worked on the Hubble telescope project and who is now devoting himself to arguing with random strangers on Facebook over Global Warming. I accused him of being a troll (he has nothing on his home page but the climate groups) and I believe he is one; I suspect someone is paying this guy to make an "authoritative" case, yet he uses many of the same shibboleths that the Gang Green always uses (like "the science is settled") There are others too and I am pretty sure there is a lot of money floating around right now for people with a science background to defend the climate kookery.
They always accuse us of being backed by big oil and deny they are much better funded by government, by NGO's, and by wealthy billionaires like this guy. But the fact remains they have vast sums of wealth at their disposal and our side does not. We just have a few honest scientists, mostly older ones who no longer worry about their careers.
Climate alarmism has always been a medicine show, a con, a Harold Hill type exercise "we got trouble - right here, with a capital T and it rhymes with C and that stands for climate". It's always "act now before it's too late" the classic sign of an advertising campaign and not a scientific inquiry.
I knew when they announced the creation of the IPCC that would be nothing but a con job, a long con. The U.N. wants to be a world government, and it wants to rid the world of free markets. OF COURSE they were going to find that our emissions are going to kill us! They are Harold Hill here.
And when they fleece us of all our money like Hill does to the townsfolk in Music Man they will "skip town" metaphorically; the issue will be discussed less and less and eventually trickle off. But only after they get what they want which is quite ambitious. They want the world (I picture in my mind Dr. Evil from Austin Powers bouncing the giant rubber globe on his son's head as in the second movie.)
This has been the planned route to power all along. They first tried Global Cooling but that petered out as the planet began a warming trend, so they switched to Warming without missing a beat (and it was the same people promoting both.) Now they have way too much invested in Global Warming and they are praying (to themselves I imagine, or to Gaia) that the planet warms for another thirty years so they can trick the public. If it cools they are going to have a hard time explaining that. Warming stopped during the last few decades as the sun has been quiet, but it's becoming more active and now it might warm a bit more and they will say "see!" and begin pushing this again.
There is every reason to believe most if not all of the warming we see (a very modest warming) is natural variability. Yes, humans do impact climate, with land use changes, for instance. And the decline in cloud cover explains much of the current warming as well. But it's a warming that really does not require explaining. One friggin degree! And we do not even know if we have that right as they keep eliminating temperature stations (and those suck anyway, see www.surfacestations.org) and just averaging them. Satellites are better but still only see the same places at the same time every day. We have no "planetary temperature" except estimated (even the satellites are dependent on models) and that is subject to the fudge factor and if not is still subjective.
At any rate powerful forces want this, very powerful, very wealthy, very internationalist forces. We are up against the full might of governments and silicon valley and NGO's and even oil companies (yes, they donate to environmentalists over climate change). This is truly a David and Goliath battle.
I'm glad somebody is outing this creep.
