Surprise: One Of Austin Shooters Is An Illegal Alien

I said there was a high chance of this the other day, but, I think on Twitter only

Austin shooting spree: 17-year-old suspect charged with 6 felonies

The 17-year-old connected to the shooting spree that took place across Austin this past weekend had his first court appearance Tuesday.

The backstory:
17-year-old Cristian Mondragon has been charged with six felonies. The charges include: (snip)

In court, it was revealed Mondragon is not a U.S. citizen and currently has an ICE hold.

He was also on probation through the juvenile justice system and has a juvenile detainer. (snip)

Authorities said the 17-year-old, Cristian Mondragon-Fajardo, had an active warrant for stealing a firearm from the same store where the 15-year-old allegedly stole another gun Saturday. Investigators believe the suspects stole more than four vehicles during the spree and may have switched vehicles multiple times.

So, an illegal who should have already been deported for being a criminal. Can’t wait for more news that shows he came in during the Biden years and is a gang member who should never have been let in to start with (beyond being an illegal, of course).

Unsurprisingly, there are only 3 stories, all locals including the above, on Google news for the past 24 hours that mention he’s an illegal. There is nothing at CNN, NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc and so on about the Austin shooting for days, and certainly not the kids’ name or that he’s an illegal. They essentially memory-holed the story when it looked like the shooters could be illegals and they couldn’t use the narrative of “guns bad”.

NC GOP Looking To Pass Constitutional Amendment Limiting State Taxes

By William Teach May 20, 2026 – 10:30 am

Obviously, Democrats are against keeping taxes low for NC citizens

NC House to try again on constitutional amendments targeting income, property taxes

North Carolina House lawmakers are expected to try again Wednesday on a pair of proposed constitutional amendments after votes were delayed Tuesday.

One of the proposals seeks to permanently cap the state’s income tax rate at 3.5%. The other aims to regulate how quickly local governments can increase property tax rates.

Supporters say Republican-backed tax cuts in recent years have helped the economy grow, and that enshrining tax cuts into the state constitution will make them harder for future legislatures to undo. Critics say that by targeting two major sources of revenue for state government, as well as cities and counties, the amendments would go too far in limiting revenue and could force cuts to schools, police and other government services. (snip)

The income tax cap proposal has already cleared the Senate. That proposal, which would cut in half the state’s maximum possible income tax rate from 7% to 3.5%, passed 30-18 early Tuesday, with every Republican in support and every Democrat opposed.

Democrats do not care about police, except in their own neighborhoods. They do care about schools and government services, because that’s where their voters work. And being able to allocate way more money than needed means their friends, family, and donors get a piece of that pie. NGOs get their money for doing 20% of the work.

The biggest thing here is not the income tax rate, it’s the raising of taxes in counties run by Democrats which is the issue, as many are looking to raise taxes, particularly the property taxes, which is less than optimal after homeowners already saw them skyrocket post-COVID as their property values jumped 2.5 times. Perhaps counties and cities (both Wake County and the City Of Raleigh are looking to raise property taxes, for instance) should learn to spend money wisely. To tighten their belts just like in private companies. And keep an eye on their money

Chair of Durham PAC charged with embezzling more than $74,000 from committee
According to court documents, Cassandra Shana Stokes, the former chair of the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People, was charged with embezzlement and fraud in connection with a State Bureau of Investigation case into fraud allegations involving the PAC.

Dems will say “It’s only $74K, what’s the big deal?” Republicans will say “If I stole $74K directly from you, would you be OK with that?”

Original article

Critics say the move could leave North Carolina unable to respond adequately in the future to natural disasters, economic recessions or other emergencies. They called the proposal a move to trick voters this November into thinking the amendment will lower their taxes immediately. It won’t, since lawmakers already plan to lower the income tax rate to 3.49% next year regardless of whether the amendment passes with its proposed 3.5% cap.

North Carolina is legally required to have a balanced budget, with no deficit spending, so any drop in revenue must be made up by either making cuts or raising revenue, such as through taxes.

Make cuts. How much could be saved be reducing fraud, graft, and waste? Terminating all the non-necessary and redundant positions?

While the House postponed its vote Tuesday on the property tax amendment, its members voted unanimously for another bill that would partially close a loophole for affordable housing developers to be exempted from paying property taxes. That measure faces a final vote in the House Wednesday before heading to the Senate.

Rep. Erin Pare, R-Wake, is its main sponsor. She said too many apartment developers and others have been allowed to qualify for the tax breaks due to a recent court ruling, called the Blue Ridge case, and so she’s proposing this new law to clarify who can or can’t qualify. If her proposal had been in place last year, she said, Wake County alone would’ve collected an additional $11.4 million in revenue.

And there’s the “affordable housing” scam in play, for which Governor Stein is making a push again. There’s an “affordable housing” apartment complex nearby that is anything but, and tons of expensive vehicles in the parking lot, with market normal rental prices. But, the developer gets their tax breaks.

Your Fault: UK Built For A Climate That No Longer Exists

By William Teach May 20, 2026 – 7:15 am

The UK should probably be more concerned about being built for a population that is being taken over by foreign invaders, particularly Islamists

UK ‘built for climate that no longer exists’ and needs urgent changes to survive global heating, report warns

climate doom yearly

Wait, I don’t have global heating on here?

British homes will need air conditioning to survive predicted levels of global heating, the government’s climate advisers have warned in a report, as measures such as drawing curtains, opening windows and growing trees for shade are not likely to be enough.

Air conditioning should be installed in all care homes and hospitals within the next 10 years, and in all schools within 25 years, according to the Climate Change Committee (CCC), which published a major report on adapting to the impacts of global heating on Wednesday.

Wait, I thought AC was Bad for Hotcoldwetdry? Anyhow, the CCCP is an “independent” UK government agency which advises the government on how to fearmonger on anthropogenic climate change to take more money and freedom from the citizens.

The government should also set a maximum temperature for working, indoors and outdoors, the advisers said. The UK should prepare for 2C of global heating by 2050, as attempts to limit temperatures to 1.5C above preindustrial levels under the Paris agreement appeared likely to fail.

Heatwaves are expected to exceed 40C in all parts of the UK by 2050. Periods of hot weather will be longer, which could lead to an additional 10,000 heat-related deaths a year. About nine in 10 UK homes are likely to overheat.

Can they tell us what the temperature will be by 2030? A year that is a little closer so we can determine how much of the BS is BS?

Sam Alvis, the head of energy security at the IPPR thinktank, called for more solar panels on roofs, alongside air conditioning. “We are going to have to get used to being a hot country, which is quite a mindset shift for the UK,” he said. “Air conditioning is actually a great pair for solar from an energy system point of view because it matches supply and demand, and your aircon is only going to be needed above certain temperatures.”

Emma Howard Boyd, a professor in practice at the London School of Economics, said heat was already killing people, but received too little attention. “Heat resilience cannot continue to be treated as an afterthought,” she said. “It belongs alongside flood preparedness and water security at the very top of the national resilience agenda and the wider prosperity of the UK.”

Doomsday cult.

Wackadoodle San Diego Shooter’s Manifesto Is Wackadoodle

By William Teach May 20, 2026 – 7:00 am

When you give it 24-48 hours before Blamestorming, you might find the reality

Shocking manifesto reveals teen shooters’ vile motivations behind San Diego mosque shooting

A shocking manifesto filled with racial and ethnic hatred linked to the teen terrorists who killed three people at the Islamic Center of San Diego is being reviewed by law enforcement, The California Post has learned.

The manifesto, co-authored by 17-year-old Cain Clark and 19-year-old Caleb Vasquez, includes the same Nazi imagery that Clarke donned in a livestream video of the horrific attack — the Black Sun and Atomwaffen symbols linked to Nazi Germany sympathizers. Further investigation by The Post found other links between the authors and the manifesto in various online profiles connected to shooters.

“I am a straight male. I am certainly not left wing, nor am I right wing — especially not with MAGA or Trump. Politically, I’d call myself a Third Positionist, specifically aligning most with National Socialism and eco-fascism, though any form of Third Positionism,” Vasquez said in the 75-page memo under the “About Me” section.

Might be protesting a bit too much about the straight male thing, but, if they are releasing parts of the manifesto, they must not think either of the wackos is gender confused. They usually hide the information and memory hole the shooting.

He describes the 2019 New Zealand Christchurch mosque shooter, Brenton Tarrant, as the blueprint for a successful livestreamed attack.

Both shooters mention livestreaming the attack using a GoPro. Vazquez asked people to “Spread our message,” by sharing the livestream while Clark simply said “Try to get the latest version you can if you plan to stream your attack,” under his “Obtaining/Making Gear” section.

The memo also details his beliefs and contains derogatory and racist views targeting a number of groups — including Muslims, Jews, and gay people, among others.

Basically, he’s way to the far right, into the Authoritarian model. Where most of the eco-fascists lie. Oh, and the Democratic Socialists, to a degree. Like AOC and Mamdani, among others. He’s full on wacktard.

Is this real?

Read the whole thread there. They hated Jews. Say they are not trans, but, incels. Hated women and gays. Hated all immigrants. Hated Trump and wanted someone to shoot him.

Climate Crisis (scam) Is Messing With Your Mental Health In “Subtle But Insidious Ways”

By William Teach May 19, 2026 – 3:01 pm

Is it due to the consistent and constant doomsaying from the media, politicians, schools, movies, TV shows?

The subtle yet insidious ways climate change affects mental health

The stress of climate change is taking a toll on mental health across the world – and not just among those who have survived disasters.

Even as extreme weather hits more frequently, the signals people have always relied on to track the seasons seem to be spinning out of control. And scientists and public health researchers are seeing growing evidence of the cost to mental health.

In a review of 57 studies published in the journal Nature Mental Health, researchers linked slow-moving environmental changes, such as drought and changes to the seasons, with depression, anxiety, and psychological distress. Study participants described recurring feelings of worry, grief, and frustration, often tied to concerns about their families, communities, and the future.

“Slow, ongoing environmental changes are related to negative emotions, as well as depression and anxiety symptoms, generalized psychological distress, and suicidality,” said Sarah Lowe, an associate professor of public health at the Yale School of Public Health and a co-author of the study.

Good lord, these people are insane

Ways to cope
Although the psychological burden of climate uncertainty can be significant, researchers say certain strategies can make a meaningful difference.

“Social support was one of the most important: simply having someone to acknowledge their fears and concerns helped people feel less alone,” Runkle said.

Other coping strategies include creative activities, spending time in nature, and seeking out information on constructive ways to deal with climate change. Some people have connected with youth climate networks or gotten involved in organizing efforts.

All this does is reinforce an unhealthy focus on Future Doom as pushed by a cult based on faulty and fake science. If a parent keeps telling their child they are stupid and worthless, that will mess with their mental health, right?

San Diego Mosque Shooting: What Was The Motive?

By William Teach May 19, 2026 – 10:30 am

So, obviously this happened

San Diego Mosque Attack Comes Amid Rising Reports of Islamophobia

The killings Monday at San Diego’s largest mosque are being investigated as a hate crime, touching off concerns about rising Islamophobia in the United States.

“Islamophobia endangers Muslim communities across this country,” Zohran Mamdani, New York City’s first Muslim mayor, said in response to the shooting, which left three people dead, in addition to the two shooters. “We must confront it directly and stand together against the politics of fear and division.”

Islamophobia has been an intractable problem in the United States for decades. Hate crimes against Muslims surged following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, according to F.B.I. data.

More recently, the war in Gaza, which set off protests across American college campuses, has contributed to a steady increase in anti-Muslim sentiment and inspired violence against a range of religious institutions, including synagogues and churches. Antisemitic incidents also skyrocketed following the start of the conflict in 2023, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations received 8,683 civil rights complaints in 2025, the most the group has recorded since 1996, according to its most recent report.

Oh, good, the NY Times is citing the Jew haters and a group that supports Islamic terrorism.

There are many unconfirmed reports that the mosque shooters were transgender. The minute that it is confirmed this story will disappear.

San Diego mosque where mass shooting left 3 dead has controversial history — including ties to 9/11 hijackers

The San Diego mosque that was targeted in a horrific mass shooting Monday made headlines for being “best known as the home to two 9/11 hijackers,” while its current imam has justified the Oct. 7 terror attacks in Israel.

Previously, the Islamic Center of San Diego made headlines for its connection to Sept. 11, 2001, hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar.

Both hijackers reportedly prayed at the mosque and found an apartment nearby through advertisements at the mosque while taking flight lessons in the city.

More recently, Imam Taha Hassane has come under fire for his comments on the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks.

“This did not start last week or on October 7. This is the result of brutal Zionist occupation and genocide,” Hassane said in a video posted to social media days after the savage Hamas attack.

“Resistance is justified when people are under occupation and don’t let them change that narrative.”

It is a massive Jew hating mosque which has created a lot of strife in the community, but, the members do not care, because the idea is not coexistence but conquest. But, you know that Democrats and their pet media prefer the Islamic extremists first.

Doom: Hotcoldwetdry Will Make Mediterranean “Hurricanes” Worse Or Something

By William Teach May 19, 2026 – 7:15 am

Did you know that the Med has Bad Weather? And that you are making it worse?

The Mediterranean sea is capable of generating hurricanes and climate change will make them worse

In March 2026, a tropical-like cyclone named ‘Jolina’ produced significant damage across North Africa. In 2020 and 2023, storms Ianos and Daniel both caused severe damage in Greece, and the latter triggered a humanitarian disaster in the city of Derna, Libya, where thousands were declared dead or missing.

These tropical-like cyclones occur in a non-tropical region. They are known as “medicanes” – a portmanteau of Mediterranean and hurricanes.

As any major storm, medicanes know no borders. Their impacts spread across multiple countries as they sweep across the Mediterranean coast, one of the world’s most densely populated and vulnerable regions (the total population of Mediterranean countries in 2020 was about 540 million people, around one-third of them living in coastal areas).

Rising sea temperatures due to climate change increase the reservoir of energy these storms can feed on. More research on this phenomenon, which couples atmospheric and oceanic effects, is urgently needed in order to improve early warning systems and the preparedness of populations, in terms of civil protection and regarding how we would affront a catastrophic event that might exceed our ability to prepare for them.

They’re always looking for something to fearmonger about. Big storms are the norm in the Med, and have been since the great pulsewater around 12000 years ago when the seas rose high enough post glacial age to refill the Med. There are poems and stories about huge storms going back thousands of years. Around Greece, which has long been a shipping capital, you find huge numbers of shipwrecks under the water, most with the remains of ballast stones and amphora from the time, from as far back as the 6th Century BCE. Oh, and here’s one from 3,300 years ago. Harsh weather is a part of the Med, especially around Greece. Gale force storms can blow up in a minute and then just completely disappear.

But, you know, now it’s all your fault.

One of the earliest research papers on the subject, in 1983, opened with the sentence: “At times, Mother Nature does her best to deceive us”, accompanied by a satellite image of a cyclone displaying a well-organised spiral cloud structure and a cloudless eye at its centre, strikingly similar to those that habitually occur in the tropics. The opening line implies what a surprise it would be to encounter such an impressive and counterintuitive occurence of a tropical-like storm structure in the Mediterranean.

So, do we have any satellite data from before, say, 1979? Oh, right, we didn’t have the satellites to view them, so, we have nothing to compare to.

Ultimately, however, efficient adaptation requires better climate prediction models and therefore more reliable and accurate estimation of extremes caused by cyclones. This can be only achieved through scientific research. An end-to-end approach that translates research findings into actionable information for climate adaptation and civil protection is both timely and essential, including for example infrastructure resilience planning and early warning systems to reduce vulnerability and socioeconomic impacts.

Give us money.

LOL: Minnesota County Charges ICE Agent Over Shooting

By William Teach May 19, 2026 – 7:00 am

Do they actually think this is going to go anywhere? That they have any power here?

Minnesota county charges ICE officer in shooting during immigration crackdown

A Minnesota prosecutor on Monday announced charges against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in the nonfatal shooting of a Venezuelan man during the Trump administration’s crackdown in Minnesota.

The officer, Christian Castro, is charged with four counts of second-degree assault and one count of falsely reporting a crime in the Jan. 14 shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said at a news conference. A warrant was issued for his arrest.

A federal officer shot Sosa-Celis in the thigh after he and another officer chased a different man to the apartment duplex where the man and Sosa-Celis lived. Moriarty said both Sosa-Celis and the other man were legally in the U.S.

Federal authorities initially accused Sosa-Celis and Alfredo Alejandro Aljorna of beating an officer with a broom handle and a snow shovel during the incident, but a federal judge later dismissed the charges and federal officials opened an investigation into whether two immigration officers lied under oath about what happened.

If they did wrong, well, they will be disciplined by the DOJ. A county prosecutors office has no power here. Those agents will not stand trial.

Yeah, they were illegal aliens. They were simply released by the Biden regime. That doesn’t make them legally in the U.S.

Attempting to evade arrest, Sosa-Celis fled the scene in his vehicle, crashed into a parked car, and proceeded to flee on foot. The law enforcement officer pursued Sosa-Celis also on foot, caught up to him, and attempted to apprehend him when Sosa-Celis began to resist and violently assault the officer. While Sosa-Celis and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.

So, they were, in fact, chasing Sosa-Celis, unlike what the story and the prosecutors are saying.
