Excerpt:
Chaos erupted outside the San Francisco Immigration Court on Tuesday when anti-ICE protesters physically tried to block federal agents from detaining and removing an individual from the premises. And let’s just say—it didn’t go as planned for the activists.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, roughly 30 protesters swarmed ICE officers as they attempted to escort a detainee to a van parked outside the courthouse at 100 Montgomery St. Video footage shows agents in body armor being screamed at, shoved, and physically confronted by the angry mob.





This is terrorism. They all need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

They should all be facing federal charges.

CLIMATE CULT ORGANIZATION OAS says global warming is about to burn up earth and anyone who disagrees must be CENSORED 100 PERCENT
07/08/2025 / By S.D. Wells


The Ponzi scheming never ends. In a sweeping new legal opinion, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) has declared that climate change represents a human rights issue, and that all 35 member nations of the Organization of American States (OAS)—including the United States and Canada—have a legal obligation to combat it.


The Costa Rica-based court’s advisory ruling asserts that individuals have a human right to a stable climate, and that governments must urgently take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to changing conditions, and guard against climate disinformation.

Climate as a Human Right: The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has declared access to a stable climate a human right, ruling that member states of the Organization of American States (OAS), including the U.S. and Canada, have legal obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adapt to climate change, and cooperate globally.

Mandate to Censor “Disinformation”: The court calls for states to collaborate with tech platforms, media, and digital actors to combat climate-related “misinformation,” implying restrictions on speech that challenges prevailing climate narratives—raising free speech concerns, especially in countries like the U.S.

Broad Jurisdiction Overreach: Though the U.S. is not a party to the American Convention on Human Rights, the court asserts its opinion applies to all 35 OAS members, prompting criticism that it seeks to impose international climate and censorship policies on sovereign nations.

S. Pushback Likely: Past U.S. responses, particularly under President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, indicate strong opposition to international environmental mandates or censorship. Previous threats of retaliation over carbon taxes on U.S. shipping and warnings against regulating platforms like X (formerly Twitter) signal likely resistance to this court’s recommendations.

Why is it @massadvj you never include evidence in your incendiary posts and ignore those that ask you for it?  Your claim is DJT screwed Elon Musk.  Why not tell us how?

Give it a shot.

Trump promised Musk DOGE cuts and fiscal responsibility in exchange for Musk's support. Instead, we got OBBB that increases the size of the federal government instead of shrinking it, and a new $5 trillion in debt.

Voodoo-science strikes again: Climate change is awakening volcanoes
 

By Jo Nova

Don’t panic, but the unleashed fossil spirits from The Ford 150 are about to plague us with volcanoes
If only you bought your oranges locally, instead of flying them in from California, the lava would have behaved.

If ever you have doubts that we are merely 3 genes away* from being mammoth hunting tribes of prophets and bone pointing shamen, look no further than modern captive science. These nice geochemists haven’t even published a paper yet, but five minutes after giving a speech at a conference, it’s already click-bait headlines and advertising for The Blob. Not that the captive researchers seem to mind (more’s the pity).

We are about to enter the doom loop where climate change melts glaciers which trigger volcanoes, which melts more glaciers. The press release even says “explosive time bombs”.

Except, of course, this is really about the Great Ice Sheets melting from the last ice age, not about humans raising global temperatures by a thousandth of a degree. And we’ve known about this since 1992 when Sivaldason et al reported that a kilometer thick block of ice slowed down volcanic eruptions in Iceland during the depths of the ice cold climate. The new team have just shown this happened in Chile too.

In the summer of 1969, a young astrophysics graduate, J. Richard Gott III, was touring Europe and found himself gazing upon the Berlin Wall. Pondering just how long it would take before it would finally be pulled down, he turned to his touring companion and confidently proclaimed that it would last at least two and two thirds more years but no more than 24. In 1987, President Reagan said ‘Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!’, and within five years the wall was gone. That’s within 23 years of Gott making his 24 year prediction.

So was Gott a crack political analyst, or did he possess a crystal ball? Neither, in fact. He was simply employing a principle he had learned at college, i.e. that we have no reason to presuppose that we occupy a special place in the universe. This principle, known as the Copernican principle, can be applied in both space and time, and is not restricted to cosmological questions. Gott just reasoned that he shouldn’t assume he was living in any special epoch as far as the Berlin Wall was concerned. That is to say, he wasn’t likely to be living during the very early life of a long surviving edifice, nor at the very end of a shorter-lived one. The likelihood instead was that the wall’s future would be as long as its past (to be precise, the probabilities would take the form of a normal distribution centred upon Gott’s Copernican judgement).

In 1993 Gott submitted a paper to Nature describing his reasoning (which he referred to as the ‘delta t argument’) and, much to everyone’s horror, Nature accepted it. Experts of all persuasions dismissed it as facile numerology, unworthy of a prestigious magazine’s attention. The problem, however, is that the technique works, and has been successful in predicting everything from Broadway show runs to the future value of stock market investments. Indeed, the idea has been independently developed by others in a number of forms (all of them essentially variations on Bayesian reasoning). The techniques now go by the name Doomsday Argument, principally because they are used to predict how much longer we can expect the human race to survive.

Democrats retreat on climate: ‘It’s one of the more disappointing turnabouts’
A changing political climate has California Democrats recalibrating on climate policies.

SACRAMENTO, California — Donald Trump is coming for California’s signature climate policies — and so is California.

Stung by the party’s sweeping losses in November and desperate to win back working-class voters, the Democratic Party is in retreat on climate change. Nowhere is that retrenchment more jarring than in the nation’s most populous state, a longtime bastion of progressive politics on the environment.

In the past two weeks alone, California Democrats have retrenched on environmental reviews for construction projects, a cap on oil industry profits and clean fuel mandates. Elected officials are warning that ambitious laws and mandates are driving up the state’s onerous cost of living, echoing longstanding Republican arguments and frustrating some allies who say Democrats are capitulating to political pressure.

“California was the vocal climate leader during the first Trump administration,” said Chris Chavez, deputy policy director for the Coalition for Clean Air. “It’s questionable whether or not that leadership is still there.”

‘Scientists & the media published thousands of articles claiming that climate change would destroy small atoll islands due to sea level rise’ – But ‘it was all a big lie’ – Study finds ‘89% of the islands were stable or had increased in size’

Over the last two decades, scientists and the media published thousands of articles claiming that climate change would destroy small atoll islands due to sea level rise.

And the climate change was our fault. “You’re making this island disappear,” claimed @CNN

It was all a big lie. Scientists have known since 2018 that, “Over the past decades, atoll islands exhibited no widespread sign of physical destabilization in the face of sea-level rise.”
And now, six years after scientists published that study, which found that 89% of the islands were stable or had increased in size, the New York Times has finally informed its readers of this “surprising climate find.”
