Nutter Liberal Judge Blocks DOJ Subpoena Of Tim Walz, Democrats Over Minnesota Fraud

By William Teach June 23, 2026 – 10:30 am

I guess it’s a legal system type of day

Judge Blocks Subpoena of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minnesota Democrats

A federal judge blocked Department of Justice (DOJ) subpoenas of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and other Democrats in the state, which the DOJ had issued to investigate the link between Somali corruption and local politics.

U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz issued a ruling on June 17 that was unsealed on Monday, according to Politico. In his ruling, Schiltz explained that “initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents” was an “unlawful and unethical use” of the grand-jury process.

“Initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents or to coerce them into taking official action — particularly official action that the federal government cannot directly require those political opponents to take — is a blatantly unlawful and unethical use of the grand-jury process,” Schlitz said.

The grand-jury didn’t think so, as I guess they paid attention to the actual evidence. Like the $9 billion in fraud that happened under Walz’s watch and all the whistleblowers.

Also, where was Schiltz when Obama’s DOJ was going after Trump and his people, coordinating with NY and Georgia?

Schiltz also pointed out that the U.S. Constitution prevents the federal government from “forcing states to enforce federal laws,” and added that the subpoenas were part of the “Trump administration’s well-established history of using criminal investigations” to go after Trump’s opponents.

The ruling from the judge comes after the DOJ issued subpoenas in January to Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D), St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her (D), along with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty.

Breitbart News reported in January that Jim O’Neill, the deputy secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), shared that “Somali-run taxpayer fraud is a core part” of the Minnesota Democrats’ machine.

Will the DOJ comply, considering that this is a massive overstep of power by Schiltz in interfering with federal investigations in fraud where federal money is involved? How many weeks till a superior court overturns Schiltz? I’m guessing 2. But, that gives Walz and others a chance to try and clean things up.

Climate Nuts Sue Australia At UN Human Rights Committee Or Something

By William Teach June 23, 2026 – 7:15 am

The first exhibit by the defense should be of the plaintiffs using fossil fuel vehicles. And then of all the clothing and such made with petroleum

Fossil Fuel Exports at Center of UN Human Rights Case Against Australian Government

Ten Australians filed a case with the United Nations Human Rights Committee arguing the Australian government is violating their human rights by failing to limit coal and gas exports — by far Australia’s largest contribution to climate change. The 10 claimants are represented by the Human Rights Law Centre, Environmental Justice Australia, and Earthjustice.

This is the first case filed in an international body against a country for climate harm since the International Court of Justice, the United Nations’ judicial arm, affirmed that all governments have a legal obligation to prevent significant harm to the climate. In May, Australia joined 140 other countries in passing a major United Nations resolution supporting this landmark legal ruling on climate change.

“All governments have a legal duty to act on the climate crisis, as affirmed by the International Court of Justice last year. The Australian government is failing that responsibility by allowing unchecked exports of coal and gas,” said Ramin Pejan, Deputy Managing Attorney of the International Program at Earthjustice. “This case sends a clear message: governments must act to reduce climate pollution from coal and gas and protect their people from harm.”

Each of the claimants has been seriously harmed by extreme weather events, from catastrophic bushfires and heatwaves to sea level rise and flooding. Their claim asks the UN Human Rights Committee to declare that it is unlawful for Australia to continue approving coal and gas projects for export without a plan to keep Australians safe from dangerous climate change.

So the United Nations is now the government of Australia? That’s what the case will boil down to, if the UN has the legal authority to dictate how the sovereign nation of Australia acts. Legislates. How many times have I written that the point of climate alarmism is all about dictatorial government? And what is more controlling that having the UN in charge?

Judge Stripper Strikes Again: Blocks Trump System To Block Foreigner From Voting

By William Teach June 23, 2026 – 7:00 am

Obviously, Judge Stripper, er, Sparkle (you remember this wacko, right?), has forgotten about the Supreme Court ruling on nationwide injunctions

Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump’s New Verification System to Remove Foreign Nationals from Voter Rolls

A federal judge, appointed by President Joe Biden, has blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from using an updated verification system, known as the SAVE program, to remove foreign nationals from state voter rolls.

On Monday, Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, appointed to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia by Biden, issued an order to prevent the Trump administration from using a streamlined version of the federal government’s SAVE program to combat voter fraud.

The update to SAVE allowed states to more quickly verify that only American citizens are voting in federal elections by no longer requiring that all nine digits of a voter registrant’s Social Security Number have to be entered to verify eligibility.

“This case implicates two fundamental rights that protect Americans from government overreach: the right to privacy and the right to vote,” Sooknanan, an immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago, wrote:

In the past year, several federal agencies have joined forces to create a centralized federal database that contains the private information of United States citizens, including Social Security numbers, citizenship status, and other sensitive data. [Emphasis added]

The federal government has that information already, Judge Stripper, er, Sparkle. Los Federales have even failed to restrict social security numbers from being used for Social Security. Now they are linked to people’s credit reports and so much more, which is against what numbers were meant for. And having those SS numbers allows Los Federales to see if there are duplicates, since illegals like to steal the identities of Americans.

I give this 2 weeks till a federal Courts of Appeal quashes it.

Trump Going After World Bank Climate (scam) Target

By William Teach June 22, 2026 – 3:00 pm

It would be one thing if the World Bank was actually doing something beneficial with the stupid amount of money they are pledging towards ‘climate change’, but, we all know that at least 60% is going into graft, waste, and abuse

US pushes World Bank climate target to the brink

The fate of a World Bank climate target is hanging in the balance as the Trump administration pressures the institution to jettison what it calls a “distortionary” and “nonsensical” policy.

The bank pledged three years ago to devote 45 percent of its funding to climate-related projects by 2025. It exceeded that goal by directing $39.2 billion, or 48 percent of its financing last year, to projects with climate benefits.

Can we get a full audit on how it was spent? How much actually went to the projects and how much went into people’s pockets?

It came as the Trump administration has called on the institution to abandon the target and increase the number of natural gas projects in its portfolio. Now, the bank is confronted with difficult choices as it races toward the climate target’s expiration on June 30, with management leaving the issue in the hands of the bank’s board of directors, according to three people who were granted anonymity to talk about internal discussions. The board meets this week.

“There has to be some compromise cooked up and that comes to the board, but at the moment, management is waving it away, and the U.S. is no, no, no and no,” said one official who represents a developed country.

The US has the largest contribution of any company, right around 17% of their funding, and because the US has 17.5% of the voting power, this gives Trump essentially veto power, as major institutional decisions require an 85% majority.

In a statement emailed over the weekend, a Treasury spokesperson said the U.S. “looks forward to the World Bank removing its 45 percent climate finance targets and refocusing on its core mission.”

“We are engaging extensively with other Board Members and [capitals] to return the World Bank back to its core mission of reducing poverty and increasing economic growth, and we expect the Bank will abandon its pursuit of arbitrary climate financing targets that do little to lift people out of poverty,” the spokesperson said.

And the core mission without all the waste, graft, and abuse.

Congress Looks To Pass Housing Bill

By William Teach June 22, 2026 – 10:30 am

My first question would be “this is a State issue, why are Los Federales involved?” Of course, that ship has long sailed, especially since so many loan brokers are nationwide companies and federal regulations cause lots of issues with home building. But, the chance for some serious graft is ever-present

Congress is finally set to pass a housing bill: Here’s what it would do

Congress is on the verge of passing a bipartisan housing package after months of often tense negotiations between House and Senate Republicans, a significant achievement that lawmakers in both parties are eager to tout back home.

The bill, titled the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, would roll back some permitting regulations and limit corporations from buying up single-family homes, among other things.

It’s the first big push in decades to change regulations and address problems that have limited the nation’s housing supply and led to high costs of homeownership and renting nationwide. (snip)

There are more than 45 different provisions in the bill, including new programs to help communities find more places to build housing.

What could possibly go wrong with the feds being so involved? Localities can’t find places? Government rarely builds housing, companies do. Government tends to increase costs with their overpayment and graft money.

One significant provision in the bill would create federal incentives for local governments to build more housing by tying federal grants to housing construction. Another would streamline the process for environmental reviews, which can delay affordable housing construction.

The first part creates overpayment and graft, the second is excellent, as those environmental regulations can often create issues. Heck, if I had decided to replace my electric water heater with gas or an instant on it would have take a few weeks for the permits.

The bill will also restrict large investors from buying new single-family homes, an issue that Republicans in the House and Senate battled over.

“There’s some regulatory relief in there, but second, stopping the big private equity guys from buying homes — which is driving prices up and taking away some of the supply — is another benefit for homeowners across the country, including Montana,” Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), who is retiring, told reporters Thursday.

That is excellent, this happens too much, and it’s not an overblown meme. But, is this legal? Does Congress have the Constitutional authority to restrict the purchase of houses by large companies from buying houses? Because it’s also telling homeowners they cannot sell their property to whom they want. I see lawsuits the minute it passes.

One thing that’s not in the bill? Federal money to create “affordable” housing, which upsets Dems like Liz Warren. Restricts the amount of federal slush money. Anyhow, if this passes, what will happen? Will more standalone houses be built, or, just more apartments and townhomes? Will prices come down or go up with the feds involved?

Your Fault: Climate Doom May Possibly Be Messing With Milk Quality

By William Teach June 22, 2026 – 7:15 am

Have I seen this bit of doommongering? I’m not sure. The cult is always coming up with something new

Got milk? Climate change may be hurting both the quality and quantity of America’s supply

climate cowAmericans drink tens of billions of pounds of milk each year to get muscle-building protein and bone-strengthening vitamin D and calcium.

But new research shows both the quality and quantity of milk production is under threat.

Heat stress due to human-caused climate change is reducing the protein and fat levels in milk, as well as impacting production, according to a study from New York’s Cornell University.

These impacts could sneakily lead to economic losses totaling millions, the school’s researchers warn, especially as years get hotter. Scientists say this year could be the hottest on record.

“The heat-induced dilution of these valuable milk components is happening a bit under the radar,” Ariel Ortiz-Bobea, an associate professor of agricultural economics at Cornell, said in a statement. “When you account for the deterioration in milk composition, the economic loss ends up being of the same order of magnitude as the yield effect, so it just basically doubles the damage.”

We can fix this with a tax and taking away your freedom, you know.

Bummer: Trump Admin Slow Walking DACA Renewals

By William Teach June 22, 2026 – 7:00 am

Would this be the same DACA system that Obama said was unconstitutional before enacting it?

DACA renewal delays fuel worries Trump is quietly undermining ‘Dreamers’

Concerns are mounting on Capitol Hill and among immigration advocates that the Trump administration is quietly gutting a landmark program allowing unauthorized immigrants who came to the U.S. as children to stay, work and study legally in the United States.

A major immigrant rights advocacy group recently documented in a study that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is taking months longer on average to renew legal protections for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, often referred to as “Dreamers.”

Those delays are causing some supporters of the program on Capitol Hill to worry the Trump administration is weaponizing bureaucracy to undermine DACA. In floor speeches and on social media last week, prominent Democrats accused the Trump administration of targeting DACA recipients unfairly as part of the White House’s immigration crackdown.

What they mean by Capitol Hill concern is that Democrats are seeing issues with potential Democrat Party voters

“I can’t see how it’s not intentional,” Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), one of the main legislative champions for the DACA program, said in a brief interview. “In previous years, we’d get maybe a dozen cases” in which DACA recipients were left waiting for long stretches of time for their work permits to be approved. Now, Padilla notes, “it’s in the hundreds.”

On the other side of the aisle, Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) said she had “serious concerns” about the slowdown in processing.

Well, mostly Democrats, because Salazar has gone all Bush 43, Lindsay Graham, and even Newt Gingrich in pushing what is essentially amnesty with her Dignity Act.

“These delays are leaving hundreds of thousands of Dreamers who grew up in America stuck in legal limbo, unable to participate in the workforce and contribute to communities they call home,” Salazar said in a statement to POLITICO.

Federal law states they are here illegally, and the penalty is a small fine, detainment up to 6 months, and deportation. It says nothing about age.

Doug Rand, a former senior adviser to USCIS during the Biden administration, accused the administration of slow-walking renewals to circumvent court orders preventing the White House from eliminating DACA outright.

“Trump’s people found an end run: Just don’t do the work,” he said.

Good. Keep it up. And keep this up

ICE Deportation flights hit highest level under Trump

Deportation flights carrying immigrants out of the United States surged in May to their highest monthly level since President Donald Trump returned to office, reflecting the administration’s intensified push to expand immigration enforcement and accelerate removals.

According to data reported by the Washington Examiner, nearly 300 deportation flights departed the United States during May, marking a significant increase in removal operations compared with previous months and underscoring the administration’s efforts to fulfill its pledge of large-scale deportations.

Yay!
