Althouse: "On immigration, you better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore. You got to get your act together."

July 26, 2025

"On immigration, you better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore. You got to get your act together."

"You know, last month, we had nobody entering our country. Nobody. Shut it down.... We took out a lot of bad people that got there with Biden. Biden was a total stiff. And what he allowed to happen, but you’re allowing it to happen to your countries. And you got to stop this horrible invasion that’s happening to Europe. Many countries in Europe. Some people, some leaders have not let it happen. And they’re not getting the proper credit they should. I could name them to you right now, but I’m not going to embarrass the other ones. But stop. This immigration is killing Europe." And also: "Stop the windmills. You’re ruining your countries. I really mean it. It’s so sad. You fly over and you see these windmills all over the place, ruining your beautiful fields and valleys and killing your birds. And if they’re stuck in the ocean, ruining your oceans. Stop the windmills."

Said Trump, quoted in "Trump arrives in Scotland to claim immigration is ‘killing Europe’/The US president said there had been ‘a horrible invasion’ of migrants after he landed in Scotland for a four-day visit on Friday evening" (London Times).

Sure hope Nebraska federal judge John Gerrard uses my quote from Althouse that I cited in my brief. “We need to keep these places beautiful in our mind and imagination.”

Judge Gerrard wrote in footnote 6 that there is no Nebraska or federal law that prevents a county from banning commercial wind. So Knox County did and I wrote the resolution!

Trump left out that unreliable wind leads to much higher electricity prices and blackouts. Also deindustrialization. They have energy poverty in Europe.; 7/26/25, 10:55 AM
Skeptical Voter said...: Countries and cultures change with heavy immigration. I saw something yesterday that suggested that we geezers grew up in a USA that was 90% white, and that millennials have grown up in a USA that is 50% white and multiethnic. Different experiences, different cultures and a different result.

The LA Daily News had a story today about a bill introduced by California Senator Padilla, saying that he wanted to make it easier for "Americans" to get a green card. I thought Americans didn't need a green card. But then Padilla was assuming facts not in evidence. While Padilla is the "senior US Senator from California", he was "selected, not elected".; 7/26/25, 10:57 AM

But when you then come up with the crazy idea of pumping CO2, the gas needed for plant life to strive, into deep offshore reservoirs; you'll need more than wind and solar power to operate those compressors.

Hassayamper said...: The LA Daily News had a story today about a bill introduced by California Senator Padilla, saying that he wanted to make it easier for "Americans" to get a green card. I thought Americans didn't need a green card.

This is a subtle but deliberate term of art from a Chicano revanchist who is speaking past founding-stock Americans to his own people.

In the Anglosphere we recognize 7 continents, including North and South America. When we say "America" with no further qualifications, everyone from London to Cape Town to Hong Kong to Melbourne assumes we mean the United States, and "Americans" refers to U.S. citizens. If we want to talk of North and South America as a unit, we speak of "The Americas."

But in the Spanish-speaking world, there are only 6 continents, one of which is "America". "Americanos" refers to any resident of any of the dozens of countries from Point Barrow to Tierra del Fuego. If they are speaking of U.S. citizens, they say "estadounidenses", i.e. "United Statesians". They can get pretty pissy about the distinction and resentful of English speakers who use "America" to refer to one country only.

Naturally, they should be laughed at or ignored by English speakers, especially Americans who are free to call ourselves any fucking thing we fucking like. However, the Chicano radicals have been working like termites to dispossess us of our physical and linguistic homeland, and this deliberately ambiguous phrasing is part of that project.

Lately I have been seeing it creep into the dialogue of white leftists too, especially the insufferably smug NPR tote-bag crowd. Any time you hear someone whine that "America is a CONTINENT, not a country", you can be certain you are dealing with a communist enemy cockroach who thinks white genocide is peachy keen, and who deserves to be run across the Mexican border at gunpoint.; 7/26/25, 12:38 PM

Apple and oranges. I never said wind or solar replaces hydrocarbon electrical sources. But they do reduce the amount of hydrocarbon needed. This has been proven. In Texas, on nice weather days, 50% of electricity is produced by wind.
Now before you write anything else I didn’t say. If you want to claim it takes a lot of resources including hydrocarbons to manufacture, install, and maintain wind and solar farms, I don’t disagree. If you want to claim it is more than they save, bring numbers. If you think I prefer wind and solar, find a quote from me that supports your absurd beliefs.; 7/26/25, 1:02 PM

And Germany...I suspect that if there is a battle for Europe, this is where it'll begin in earnest.

The numbers don't lie. The native born in these countries are well below replacement rate while the Muslim populations are growing 3 fold. The positioning of the Muslim populations- very aggressively taking over major streets, plazas, committing heinous crimes without having to answer for it, pushing to have their ways take hold. Dogs disallowed in certain areas. The adhan call drifting across the major cities. Areas of the great cities where the local police are literally too afraid to patrol, not to mention the people on the street no longer going there.

So...Europe may already be partially gone. Trump is not wrong to state it out front. He's simply saying what everyone there knows, though most dare not speak it. If you do so in the UK, you'll get a visit from the police. THAT, they'll prosecute.

When you say "carbon" sequestration it is clear that you mean co2.

So why say carbon? It is obvious you know the difference so it is disinformation. My question is why?

I refuse to take anyone seriously who pretends C and CO2 are the same thing.

For the folks in Portland, carbon is a solid. The only way it gets into the air is as fine particulates and such as does get into the air settles out by gravity in 10-14 days or less.
Atmospheric carbon is even closer to zero than atmospheric CO2. 0.000000000000000000001% or so.

k & m are synonyms (1,000) both in common, daily use. Either is acceptable

Carbon is an element. It is a solid in its normal state.

CO2 is a compound normally a gas.

NOT synonymous. Not anything like one another.

It is not even simpler to write carbon (6 keystrokes) than co2 (3)

It is propaganda pure and simple. CO2 is colorless odorless, puts foam in our drinks, makes bread rise, puts out fires, grows plants. It is hard to make people think of it as harmful much less a pollutant.

Carbon is by definition dirty. Synonyms include soot and smut. It is coal and graphite and the ingredient in black paint.

So let's scare the punters by lying about dirty, nasty CARBON!!! in the atmosphere being a problem.

It is not incorrect but it is exceedingly rare to see gas mixtures expressed in ppm.

Nobody talks about 780,000ppm of atmospheric nitrogen. It's always expressed as a percentage. Even trace gasses like argon (. 8%) or hydrogen (0.0000005%) are normally expressed as parts per hundred or "percent"

Except co2. Because 400 ppm which most people have no idea what it means looks much scarier than 0.04% which everyone understands and which doesn't look scary at all.

Again, pure propaganda

Leland said...: It is obvious you know the difference so it is disinformation. My question is why?

Because my comments were what I usually have to argue with my British coworkers, who use such terms and believe such things.; 7/27/25, 6:44 AM
Leland said...: Jupiter and JSM; the problem is the British education system has convinced decades of students that not only is global warming caused by humans, but they must act now. You can't just tell them they are crazy, because they'll just respond you are immoral. They are smart people that have been brainwashed to believe things.

My opinion hasn't changed. The first time I heard progressives use the term "Carbon tax"; I knew exactly what they wanted. I know organic chemistry. A carbon tax means the ability to tax every living thing on earth. That's what they want, or they would, as you suggest JSM, use more precise language. Even if they did, regarding CO2; that's an essentially element for plant life to flourish.

They do have some decent points about hydrocarbon use. People like to believe it is limitless, but it isn't. We have plenty to last our lifetimes, and likely are children, but reducing our dependence or rather our magnitude of use will extend that period. I'm sure you guys understand this and would point to nuclear. I do. But to argue with them, you need rational arguments. You have to show them stuff like Net Zero is a self-licking ice cream cone, which requires so much energy to pump CO2 in the ground that the only Net Zero is any benefit it provides. The original plan for the Teesside facility was a coal power plant that would capture 100% of its CO2 and use 60% of its rated power to pump all that CO2 and whatever they could get from nearby factories into an offshore reservoir. It was that silly, so they decided to use wind instead of coal, which has required far more land than they expected. And you want to know the most insidious thing; they chose to build the facility at the location of UK's last steel mill, making sure the UK no longer had the ability to produce its own steel.; 7/27/25, 7:00 AM

The people you're talking about don't want to extend that period, they want to end it.; 7/27/25, 9:58 AM

We will gradually transition for a multitude of reasons, and the hysteria is just one of them - the one that creates massive fraud and mistakes before real science, reason, and the market place to work it out.

It's like a religion for a lot of them, attempts at teaching probably won't help too much. Aside from keeping True Believers away from the levers of power, I don't know what the answer is.; 7/27/25, 1:19 PM

It will be pointed out the it was an attempt by globalist bureaucrats to control people through control over oil and energy.

Kirk Parker said...: Leland,

I am a very strong believer in the maxim, "He who controls the term of the debate, controls the debate."

While it is perfectly fine to use your colleagues' terminology while starting out, if you keep using it throughout the discussion you just validate the scam.

I would prefer to use their terms;0/only to dispute the very premise: "This is a tax on emission of carbon dioxide; why do you call it 'carbon tax' instead of 'carbon dioxide tax'? You do know that carbon dioxide contains more than twice as much oxygen by atomic weight than it does carbon - - so if you really do need to abbreviate the term, wouldn't it be more accurate to call it 'oxygen tax' instead of 'carbon tax'?; 7/28/25, 9:23 AM
