Trump Called Cops On Epstein In 2006

By William Teach February 11, 2026 – 10:30 am

I’ll be quite honest, this whole Epstein thing is not something I really care about. It should be something that the courts deal with, but, I understand why so many want a full release of all associated with Epstein. How he avoided the full charges, how so many Elites were involved, how elite schools were involved, and, how the Democrats desperately want Trump to be involved. About that

White House: Trump’s Alleged 2006 Call to Palm Beach Police Chief ‘Cracks’ Establishment’s Epstein Narrative on POTUS

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s alleged phone call to the Palm Beach police chief in 2006, wherein Trump allegedly told him, “Thank goodness you’ re stopping [Epstein],” dismantles establishment narratives.

Leavitt’s comments came at a White House press briefing after the Department of Justice released a document from a 2019 interview between former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter and the FBI.

Per the document, Reiter said Trump told him, “thank goodness you’ re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” and Ghislaine Maxwell “is evil and to focus on her.” The document also states that Trump told Reiter he booted Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club and that Trump “was one of the very first people to call when people found out that they were investigating” Epstein. Reiter told the Miami Herald the call occurred in July 2006.

Leavitt said she is not sure whether the call between Trump and Reiter took place, but if it did, it supports what Trump has long said.

“Look, it was a phone call that may or may not have happened in 2006. I don’t know the answer to that question. What I’m telling you is that what President Trump has always said is that he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club because Jeffrey Epstein was a creep,” she said.

“And that remains true, and this call, if it did happen, corroborates exactly what President Trump has said from the beginning,” she added.

I’m sure there are lots and lots of big wigs who were involved with Epstein, as he had his hands in a lot of pies, but, were not involved with all the child trafficking and other criminal stuff. Some who possibly had no idea what was going on. And some who realized that something shady was going on. Like, apparently, Donald Trump. And, really, at this point, there’s nothing to tie Trump to the shady, criminal stuff. If there were it would have been released during the latter Obama or Biden days.

(Daily Caller) Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in August that Trump was always a perfect gentleman and that she never ever saw him commit any wrongdoing. The victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking operation have always denied that Trump acted inappropriately.

You’re not getting Trump. Move on, Democrats. But, there could be other repercussions

The Epstein files might bring down a government. Just not the US government.

The questions about the exact nature of Donald Trump’s relationship with the late financier and sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein that have dogged his presidency in both terms were given fresh life last week when the Justice Department released millions of new “Epstein files.”

Not happening, libtards

The same cannot be said of every country, however. The world leader most likely to be brought down by the Epstein files is not Trump, but British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

The files contain some extremely damaging information about Peter Mandelson, a longtime power player in Starmer’s Labour Party whom he appointed as ambassador to the United States, despite the fact that Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein was already public knowledge.

The revelations have thrown the British government into turmoil. Two senior Starmer aides — his chief of staff and his communications director — have already resigned over their roles in Mandelson’s appointment, and a third is likely on his way out. On Monday, the leader of Scotland’s Labour Party, Anas Sarwar, became the most senior figure to call on Starmer to resign. So far, Starmer is defiantly rejecting calls to step down and other Cabinet ministers are rallying around the prime minister, but some highly placed sources reportedly believe it’s a coin toss whether he remains in power.

Quite frankly, it would be great if the Epstein files took down all the authoritarian wackjobs running the UK. The ones supporting crackdowns on Free Speech for actual Brits, the ones importing 3rd worlders and Islamists.

Good News: Trump Allies Have Almost Totally Wipe Out Climate (scam) Regulation

By William Teach February 11, 2026 – 7:15 am

The NY Times is Very Upset over this

Trump Allies Near ‘Total Victory’ in Wiping Out U.S. Climate Regulation

In the summer of 2022, Democrats in Congress were racing to pass the biggest climate law in the country’s history and President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was declaring that global warming posed a “clear and present danger” to the United States.

But behind the scenes, four Trump administration veterans were plotting to obliterate federal climate efforts once Republicans regained control in Washington, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times and interviews with more than a dozen people familiar with the matter.

Two of them, Russell T. Vought and Jeffrey B. Clark, were high-profile allies of Donald Trump. Mr. Vought, who has railed against “climate alarmism,” and Mr. Clark, who has called climate rules a “Leninistic” plot to seize control of the economy, drafted executive orders for the next Republican president to dismantle climate initiatives.

The other two, Mandy Gunasekara and Jonathan Brightbill, were lesser-known conservative attorneys with long histories of fighting climate initiatives. Ms. Gunasekara, a onetime aide to the most vocal global warming denialist in the Senate, and Mr. Brightbill, who had argued in court against Obama-era climate regulations, collected an “arsenal of information” to chip away at the scientific consensus that the planet is warming, documents show.

Their efforts are now paying off. In the coming days, the Environmental Protection Agency is expected to revoke a determination that has underpinned the federal government’s ability to fight global warming since 2009.

You can feel the crying and teeth gnashing going on at the Times, eh?

In revoking that determination, the Trump administration would erase limits on greenhouse gases from cars, power plants and industries that generate the planet-warming pollution.

Unlike the swings in federal policy that have become routine when administrations change hands, getting rid of the endangerment finding could hamstring any future administration’s efforts to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.

Trump should pass an EO that anyone who supports the endangerment finding should practice what they preach. Let’s see if any do.

Texas Democrat Wants To Local Police To Determine Which Immigration Laws They Follow

By William Teach February 11, 2026 – 7:00 am

She’s apparently competing with Jasmine Crockett to be the dumbest member of congress

Texas congresswoman files legislation to make changes to how immigration laws are enforced

A Texas congresswoman is among those on Capitol Hill who want major changes in the way federal agents enforce immigration law.

U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-Houston) has filed legislation to allow local authorities to be able to decide which immigration laws they want to enforce and which ones to ignore.

Garcia spoke to Greg Groogan with FOX 26 Houston and told him the Trump Administration is allowing ICE agents to terrorize communities and violate constitutional rights.

“They’re threatening our cities, they’re just tearing our country apart, trampling over the Constitution. They’re just, it’s just almost abhorrent and unconscionable, some of the actions that they’re taking in Minneapolis,” said Rep. Garcia.

She is aware of federal law that designates such things as our borders, who is allowed to be in the U.S., and so forth? Probably not

Rep. Garcia’s legislation would repeal a key section of the Immigration Act. Garcia described it as the part that gives the federal government authority to mandate to cities what to do on immigration.

Passing it could, in theory, also allow cities to ignore Senate Bill 4 which Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law in 2017. SB 4 requires county sheriffs to honor ICE detainers and prohibits local cities from passing ordinances that forbid police officers from asking about a person’s immigration status during a lawful detention or arrest.

Los Federales have authority regardless, per the Constitution. Local police cannot ignore things like bank robbery and kidnapping, or any other federal crimes. Democrats are just wacko for illegals. They won’t actually take them in and shelter them, of course. This legislation will go nowhere, it just whips up the unhinged base.

Democrats like Garcia are hoping the immigration enforcement fight will carry into the November general election.

She compared the deaths of two people who got into confrontations with federal agents recently in Minneapolis to the Kent State shootings in 1970.

In the interview, Rep. Garcia did not talk about the murder of Jocelyn Nungaray. The 12-year-old Houston resident was allegedly killed in 2024 by two undocumented immigrants who were caught and later released into Texas by officials with the Biden Administration.

Surprise.

Hotcoldwetdry Is A Public Law Issue Or Something

By William Teach February 10, 2026 – 3:00 pm

It’s so weird that this whole thing never boils down to practicing what you preach and, instead, is all about forcing Everyone Else to practice it. Give up their money and freedom to Government

Climate change is a public law issue – Public Law Project

Climate change isn’t just an environmental issue. It’s a public law failure.

This crisis we are living through is shaped by countless government decisions: what can be built or extracted, where resources and funding flow, who is protected from harm, and who is left to bear the risks. And as ever, those least responsible for the damage being caused are paying the highest prices.

Many communities are already experiencing devastating impacts, while climate breakdown threatens to deepen inequalities across housing, health, migration, and access to justice. These harms compound and reinforce one another.

Public Law Project has always been about protecting rights and fighting for justice. Over the years, that mission has taken many forms. We have used public law to challenge unfair decision-making, to hold public bodies to account, and to stand alongside people and communities most often shut out of power.

That sounds good in theory, but, there is a reason Progressivism is called “nice Fascism”: this is For Your Own Good. Which might play well when your parents are nice Fascists. But not for other kids, right?

For the first time, PLP‘s strategy now explicitly includes climate change. The reason is simple: justice. Climate change magnifies injustice, and public law is one of the few tools capable of exposing and confronting the decisions that drive environmental harm.

As interim CEO of PLP, I am truly excited about this new chapter of our work — one shaped by experience, grounded in justice, and focused on how public law can meet the realities of the climate crisis.

I had the opportunity to work at both ends of the scale: from the UN climate talks where international legal treaties bring nations together to tackle shared challenges, to communities far removed from the corridors of power but on the frontline of environmental struggles.

Huh. So PLP’s CEO Jamie Peters takes long fossil fueled flights?

PLP is proud to work in solidarity with marginalised groups, using our power, privilege, and expertise to help create a fairer society through public law. Much of this work has focused on immigration, where we have challenged unjust systems and policies that deny people safety, dignity, and fairness.

We know that climate change will intensify these in justice, and we will see a rise in those looking for a safe haven as they flee from increasingly unsafe areas of the world. At the same time, it is working-class communities and racialised communities who are on the sharp end of environmental injustices. It is often poorer areas of society most blighted by air pollution or facing unwanted infrastructure projects at their doorstep.

Are you getting the idea that ‘climate change’ is simply a platform for these Authoritarians to implement their wacko plans? I may refer to it as a doomsday cult, but, it’s rather the same type of cult as the Nazis. As the Soviet Union comrades. As those following Mao and Pol Pot. It’s the same type of insanity that creates the AWFLs. It’s dangerous.

9th Circuit Allows Ending Of TPS For Honduras, Nepal and Nicaragua

By William Teach February 10, 2026 – 10:30 am

It’s in the name: temporary. Further, the TPS for those nations, and others, had ended after having been extended many, many times

US appeals court lets Trump continue ending deportation protections

A U.S. appeals court in California on Monday temporarily lifted a federal judge’s order that had blocked the Trump administration from ending deportation protections for nearly 89,000 migrants from Honduras, Nepal and Nicaragua.

The 9th U.S. Court of Appeals said, the government could likely prove there were “legitimate” reasons to end Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from those countries and paused a California federal judge’s ruling against the administration for the duration of the appeal.

“TPS was never designed to be permanent, yet previous administrations have used it as a de facto amnesty program for decades,” U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on X in response to the decision. “Given the improved situation in each of these countries, we are wisely concluding what was intended to be a temporary designation.”

U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson in San Francisco blocked Noem in December from ending TPS for migrants from Honduras, Nepal and Nicaragua, finding the administration failed to adequately consider conditions in the three countries that would prevent them from returning. Thompson also said the terminations may have been motivated by racial animus, citing statements from Noem and Republican President Donald Trump portraying immigrants as criminals and a drain on U.S. society.

A unanimous three-judge 9th Circuit panel said on Monday, however, that the terminations may not have been eligible for court review. The panel also said the government could likely show that Noem appropriately considered conditions in the countries before ending the migrants’ TPS.

Judge Trina seemed to rule from her feelings, not Law, so, as usual, she was overturned. The lawfare continues to waste time.

Doom Today: Climate Crisis (scam) Could Cut Grazing Land In Half

By William Teach February 10, 2026 – 7:00 am

In 75 years, of course, when no one will remember the doomy prognostication and no one will be held responsible for them

Climate change could halve areas suitable for cattle, sheep and goat farming by 2100

Sherman Potter Bull CookiesA new study conducted at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) shows that grassland-based grazing systems—currently covering a third of Earth’s surface and representing the world’s largest production system—will see a severe contraction as global temperatures rise. Depending on the scenario analyzed, 36–50% of the land with suitable climatic conditions for grazing today will experience a loss of viability by 2100, affecting more than 100 million pastoralists and up to 1.6 billion grazing animals.

The study, published in PNAS, identifies a “safe climatic space” for cattle, sheep and goat grazing. To date, these agricultural systems have thrived within certain ranges of temperature (from ?3 to 29°C), rainfall (between 50 and 2,627 millimeters per year), humidity (from 39 to 67%) and wind speeds (between 1 and 6 meters per second).

“Climate change will shift and significantly contract these spaces globally, leaving fewer spaces for animals to graze. Importantly, many of these changes will be felt in countries that already experience hunger, economic and political instability, and higher levels of gender inequity,” commented lead author Chaohui Li, PIK researcher at the time the study was conducted and is now with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.

Enough. It’s always something with this doomsday cult, but, how did grazing do during previous Holocene warm periods? Can they provide data? Plants like warmth. And CO2.

Federal Judge Kills PRC Law On Wearing Masks

By William Teach February 10, 2026 – 6:45 am

Of course, the law only applied to federal immigration authorities, not, say, the Antifa and other liberal wackjobs who vote Democrat

Federal judge blocks California law forcing ICE agents to remove masks during operations

A Los Angeles?based federal judge on Monday blocked California from enforcing its law that would require ICE agents to remove masks during immigration enforcement operations.

Judge Christina Snyder, appointed during the Clinton administration, granted a preliminary injunction against the “No Secret Police Act,” arguing that it discriminated against the federal government by violating the Supremacy Clause.

Under the constitutional clause, federal law takes precedence over any conflicting state or local law, rendering the lower-level law unenforceable.

Snyder said the “No Secret Police” ruling hinged on California exempting its own state officers while penalizing federal agents.

“The Court finds that federal officers can perform their federal functions without wearing masks,” Snyder said. “However, because the No Secret Police Act, as presently enacted, does not apply equally to all law enforcement officers in the state, it unlawfully discriminates against federal officers.”

They could perform their jobs if the leftards wouldn’t attack them at their homes, involving their families. And out at restaurants, supermarkets, bookstores, etc. Regardless, Los Federales never had to follow the People’s Republik of California’s law in the first place, but, it is nice to see a court spike the law.

PRC Water Agencies Grapple With Climate Doom And An Aging Workforce

By William Teach February 9, 2026 – 3:00 pm

But, mostly an aging workforce in the People’s Republik Of California

Water agencies grapple with climate change and the ‘silver tsunami’ of an aging workforce

As water agencies across California grapple with the increasingly extreme effects of climate change, they’re also facing another problem: the incoming “silver tsunami.”

That’s the phrase coined by the industry to illustrate the fact that much of the workforce — largely baby boomers — that keeps our water flowing and safe are getting ready to retire.

Nationwide, about a third of the nation’s water workforce is eligible for retirement within the next decade, “the majority being workers with trade jobs in mission critical positions,” the Environmental Protection Agency wrote in a 2024 report. (big snip)

Jobs in the water industry — potable water and wastewater treatment operators, engineers, managers, skilled maintenance, public relations and more — are well paid and secure, Mouawad said, but it’s hard to fill the needed positions.

“We are finding it more challenging to backfill retirees,” he said. “It’s not so much a lack of interest — I think it’s a lack of awareness.”

No, it’s just that the yutes are not interested in doing these kinds of jobs. They all think they are too good for this, that they’re meant to be tier 1 influencers and content creators. So few of them plan for the future. They have their stupid degrees that are pretty much worthless, and don’t want to consider any sort of trade career, in which they can make a lot of money.

In recent years, the water agency has focused on younger potential future employees through a variety of Career and Technical Education programs at local high schools, including in automotive tech, engineering, agriculture, construction and information systems, said Erin Guerrero, Eastern Municipal’s public affairs manager overseeing its education programs.

In fact, the majority of the article is about the lack of new employees and how the older folks are going to be retiring soon, not ‘climate change’. But, it’s pretty much required for “journalists” to include their cult in as many articles as possible.

Meanwhile

Illinois proposal makes businesses financially liable for climate change

A proposal to create an Illinois Climate Change Superfund is drawing sharp criticism from Republican lawmakers who warn it would hand sweeping authority to unelected regulators, drive businesses out of the state and ultimately raise costs for consumers.

Senate Bill 2981 would create the Illinois Climate Change Superfund, financed by payments from entities the state deems responsible for climate change. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency would determine liability, set payment amounts, and direct spending, with at least 40% of funds required to benefit “disadvantaged communities.

Federal courts will kill this, like happened with NJ, but, in the meantime, the fossil fuels companies should stop selling their products to the state government until the suits are resolved, if this passes.
