Maine Looks To Protect Illegal Aliens In Apartments

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

Of course they’re trying this. They will quickly learn that federal law regarding things like sheltering overrides state law

Bill to strengthen tenant rights amid heightened immigration enforcement advances

A bill to strengthen tenant rights amid heightened immigration enforcement is advancing to the full Maine Legislature, but committee members split over possible unintended consequences, issues likely to resurface in floor debates.

“Apartment owners shouldn’t be dragged into the middle of the fight between the Fed and the state over immigration,” Dan Bernier with the Central Maine Apartment Owners Association told Maine Morning Star. “That’s not the job of apartment owners, and they don’t have the expertise to figure out who’s right and who’s wrong.”

The legislation is intended to address a weakness in state law underscored by the large-scale immigration operation in January: a lack of clear protections against the disclosure or threatened disclosure of tenants’ personal information.

The version backed by the majority of the Judiciary Committee this week prohibits landlords from sharing a tenant’s personal information with the intent to harass, threaten, intimidate or evict them — except in response to a judicial warrant or in “exigent circumstances.” Those restrictions would also only apply outside of the judicial process outlined in the eviction statute and without a “legitimate business purpose.”

Yeah, it actually is the job of apartment owners, who should be not be housing illegal aliens, but, will have to respond if federal law enforcement comes asking.

In addition to making the restrictions on information sharing not applicable to evictions and other business purposes, the amended version specifies that information can be shared in response to a valid discovery request, subpoena, or judicial warrant; to a Maine state local or county law enforcement agency if disclosure is related to exigent circumstances; or if reasonably necessary to prevent or prosecute a criminal act.

Can’t wait till they learn about federal primacy when it comes to illegal aliens and other non-citizens. Why are Democrats so unhinged over protecting illegals?

Starmer Regime Wants Pubs To Turn Off Fridges At Night To Save Energy

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

Yeah, this is the next logical idea as the UK pushes so much “green” energy and gets rid of oil, gas, natural gas, coal, and nuclear

So, hey, I wonder if any reporter will ask Starmer if he turns most of his appliances off at night?

Pubs may risk serving warm beer by switching off fridges overnight to cut energy bills

Pubs could risk serving warm beer by switching off bottle fridges overnight to cut energy bills.

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has launched an advice tool he believes will help ease rising costs for Britain’s ailing hospitality businesses.

It encourages firms to reduce unnecessary electricity use by turning off bottle fridges overnight and to monitor hotspots such as extraction systems, ovens and lamps.

Emma McClarkin, chief executive of the British Beer and Pub Association, said: “There are a host of appliances that you simply cannot turn off, many for health and safety reasons. So it is not just help with reducing eye-watering energy bills that the beer and pub sector needs the Government to help with but the overall cumulative costs of doing business including disproportionate tax bills.”

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero claimed the government-funded carbon-reduction tool had saved trial participants £48-a-week. It hopes to expand the trial to 525 more businesses.

They’re trying to link this to the Iran war, but, consider that Britain has vast reserves of petroleum just offshore. They also get a lot from Libya (remember, that’s why Obama helped France and the UK with the war in the way back). It’s all the “alternative” energy in the UK that’s the problem, and that their are wackjob Warmists running things in the UK government.

Anyhow, good luck when the peasants revolt over warm pints.

Trump: “I’m Not Putting Troops In Iran”

By William Teach March 20, 2026 – 6:45 am

Of course, the way he said it gave the NY Times the vapors, and allows them to fearmong

Trump Says He Won’t Send Troops to Iran But Leaves Wiggle Room

President Trump asserted on Thursday that he had no plans to commit ground forces to the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran, even though he has acknowledged he is contemplating moves that could drag the military into land combat operations.

Mr. Trump’s comments still left some room for him to reverse course.

“I’m not putting troops anywhere,? Mr. Trump told a reporter who asked about using ground troops. “If I were, I certainly wouldn’t tell you.”

Yeah, that’s not about leaving wiggle room, that’s simply Trump being Trump. One would think the NY Times would understand that after not only being president for a term, winning a non-consecutive term, and all those years covering Trump when he was just a big, brash, NYC businessman. And doing the TV shows. And running for office. But, TDS is a hell of a thing.

Besides, why in the hell would he tell a reporter?Was FDR supposed to discuss the D-Day invasion of Europe, or island hopping in the Pacific?

The president has spent several days alternating between threats to escalate strikes on Iran — which at times he has insisted are an “operation” or an “excursion” instead of a war — and promising that the hostilities are on the brink of completion.

His latest comments come just two days after Mr. Trump said that he was “not afraid” to put U.S. boots on the ground.

Really, this is all about keeping the Iranian regime, what’s left of it, and their military guessing. With an added benefit of tweaking the noses of the Credentialed Media.

He said on Thursday that while he hated to attack Iran, he felt it was necessary, even though oil prices would rise and the economy might “go down a little bit.”

“I thought there was a chance it could be much worse,” he said. “It’s not bad, and it will be over with pretty soon.” He provided no further explanation.

Democrats would prefer that Trump, the U.S., and Israel lose against Iran. That they just stop and give up, because they hate all three. Meanwhile

Gulf states press US to neutralise Iran for good as Hormuz crisis deepens

Gulf Arab states did not ask the U.S. to go to war with Iran, but many are now urging it not to stop short by leaving the Islamic ?Republic still able to threaten the Gulf’s oil lifeline and the economies that depend on it, three Gulf sources told Reuters.

At the same time, these sources and five Western and Arab diplomats said Washington ?was pressing Gulf states to join the U.S.-Israeli war. According to three of them, President Donald Trump wants to show regional backing for the campaign, to bolster its international legitimacy as well as support at home.

The ME nations have had to deal with Iran since 1979. The terrorism, the backing of extremists, intimidation, and more. Not just Israel. They would love to see the regime ended and Iran de-radicalized. That’s not what the leftist media and Democrats want, though.

Doom Today: Don’t Have Caffeine Or Eat Heavy When It’s Warm Outside

By William Teach March 19, 2026 – 3:00 pm

Have I seen this type of doomsaying before? I’m not sure. But, the cult is always looking for new ways to doomsay

Millions warned not to drink coffee or eat heavy meals for days. Here’s what to know

It might still be chilly in the North, but millions of Americans in the Southwest are facing extreme heat warnings.

Per Newsweek, temperatures are as much as 30 degrees above the average for that part of the country. And the outlet reported that some of those temperatures could “soar well into the 100s.”

And those temperatures come with some eye-opening guidance.

Because along with the warnings that it’s going to be scorching, folks in southern Nevada and southern California as well as Arizona are being warned to abstain from coffee or pretty much anything that includes caffeine.

The reason? Caffeine can cause a person to dehydrate quicker.

How did people survive when it was hot outside and wanted coffee, sweet tea (unsweet is against the law in the South), or a soda?

Newsweek said folks are being encouraged to skip the large meals, and protein heavy meals because they can raise body temperature. Also, people are being reminded not to leave young children unattended in cars.

Yeah, good luck, with every commercial involving food, and even some drinks) involves lots of protein these days. As for cars, well, anyone dumb enough to leave their kids in the car shouldn’t have them.

CBS News reported that the front could stick around for days. The outlet said that more than 60 record temperatures were hit on Tuesday with Palm Springs, California hitting 103. It was 100 in Phoenix on Wednesday, and CBS said that is the earliest that city has ever hit that high of a temperature ever.

Ever? How far back do the records go? That would only be 1895, officially. Do we know what it was like during the Medieval Warm Period? Anyhow, this is all obviously your fault. And, I though all these liberal areas were doing things to stop ‘climate change’? Yet, none of it makes a difference?

Mamdani, NYC Council Members Livid Over Deportation Order For Council Employee

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

Is there any level of criminal illegal Democrats won’t defend? They simp for horrible people like Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was a member of MS13, beat his wife, and transported illegals. Mahmoud Khalil and his talk of destroying Israel and killing Jews

Immigration judge orders deportation of NYC Council employee after ICE arrest; city leaders push back

An immigration judge has ordered the deportation of a former New York City Council employee federal officials said in January was an undocumented immigrant with a prior assault arrest.

City Council Speaker Julie Menin announced the deportation ruling on Wednesday, condemning it as a “miscarriage of justice and wholly deplorable” and pledging to fight back by filing an appeal.

Two months ago, Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, 53, was detained during an immigration appointment and was identified by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a Venezuelan “criminal illegal alien” who overstayed his visa.

“This is an affront to justice,” Mamdani added in a post on X. “A dedicated public servant with legal authorization to remain in the country, Rafael showed up for a routine immigration appointment and, despite following the rules, he was detained and has now been held for months.”

Except, he came to the US on a tourist visa in 2017 and never left. His lawyers are claiming he had an asylum. They also claim he was on TPS. Which is it? He was arrested for fighting with his roommate and breaking his nose. The arrest was sealed (because he was an illegal, of course. It wouldn’t have been sealed for an American citizen), and did not disclose this during an asylum application. The judge has ruled for deportation. He went through the system as Dems wanted. Now he gets to leave. And per a Supreme Court ruling, non-immigration, wackadoodle federal judges may not intervene.

Speaking of MS-13, how about this one which I ran across while searching to try and remember Garcia’s name

Judge orders release of MS-13 gang member who was in ICE custody

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) this week issued a warning statement after a judge appointed by Barack Obama ordered the release of Carlos Antonio Flores-Miguel, an illegal immigrant with a serious criminal record.

The undocumented immigrant was in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and is a member of the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang, the release noted.

According to the release, on Jan. 20, 2026, ICE conducted a targeted operation to arrest Flores-Miguel in Minnesota. During the arrest, he resisted violently, punching and kicking security agents. He even snatched a holster from one of the officers.

However, earlier this month, a judge ordered his release. His criminal record in the United States includes rape, resisting arrest and illegal re-entry. According to documents, Flores-Miguel was also arrested in El Salvador for robbery.

First Democrats say only catch the bad ones. When they are caught they want them released. Too bad they can’t force the judge to take the illegal into their own home.

Your Fault: Baby Birds Having Trouble Surviving From HeatCold

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

Do the cultists how insane this all sounds? Do they care?

Cold, Rain, and Climate Change: Why Baby Birds Are Losing the Fight to Survive

Sixty years of data from more than 80,000 wild great tits in the UK reveal a troubling pattern: cold snaps and heavy rain can stunt nestling growth and slash their odds of surviving to adulthood. The culprit, researchers say, is a changing climate that is making extreme weather events both more frequent and more severe.

The findings, published March 11 in Global Change Biology by scientists at the University of Oxford, draw on records from Wytham Woods in Oxfordshire, one of the longest-running wildlife monitoring programs in the world. By pairing individual bird data with detailed daily weather records across six decades, the team was able to isolate precisely when extreme weather hits hardest during a nestling’s brief but critical development window.

The research pinpoints two weather extremes as especially damaging, and their timing matters enormously. According to the study, extreme cold during the first week after hatching is particularly detrimental, a period when chicks have no feathers and cannot yet regulate their own body temperature. Rather than converting food into growth, hatchlings in a cold snap must burn energy simply staying warm, often falling behind in body mass in ways that can never be fully recovered.

This is a perfect example as to why they changed it from anthropogenic global warming to anthropogenic climate change: it allows what morphed into a doomsday cult to blame everything on Mankind. Hot? Your fault. Cold? Also your fault. And we can fix this with a tax and removing your freedom, liberty, and life choices.

Surprise: 186 Dems Vote Against Deporting Illegals Who Commit Fraud

By William Teach March 19, 2026 – 6:45 am

It’s always been a deportable offense, this makes it very specific….but, um, shouldn’t simply being in the US illegally be a deportable offense?

Almost 200 House Dems vote against deporting people who commit welfare fraud

The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation Wednesday to crack down on illegal immigrants participating in welfare fraud despite fierce objections from most Democrats.

Lawmakers voted 231-186 to approve the Deporting Fraudsters Act, with 186 Democrats opposing the measure.

The bill, sponsored by Rep. David Taylor, R-Ohio, would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to explicitly define fraud as a deportable offense. Republicans said the legislation is necessary to ensure that noncitizens who steal taxpayer dollars are no longer eligible for immigration relief services or legal protections.

“If you admit to or you’re convicted of fraudulently receiving public benefits, you are out of here on the next plane and can never return,” Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., said Wednesday on the House floor.

It basically allows a shortcutting of the system, and would apply to (fake) asylum seekers.

Democratic lawmakers largely opposed the GOP-authored bill, arguing that noncitizens convicted of fraud are already eligible for deportation.

“Another week, another redundant and completely unnecessary immigration crime bill,” Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said during debate on the measure.

So, then it should be no big deal to vote in favor of the bill. But, Dems also yammer that it would mean the illegals wouldn’t have their day in court, with liberal judges doing all they can to keep the illegals in the US. And liberal prosecutors dropping charges.

One thing the Fox piece, and lots of other articles, are missing is that the Deporting Fraudsters Act mentions “aliens” multiple times, but, is not defining them specifically as illegal aliens, and the basic definition of an alien is any person not a citizen or national of the United States. This could, in fact, apply to anyone here on Temporary Protected Status, seeking asylum, even a permanent resident. They are not citizens or nationals.

And the wacko Democrats probably understand this, as it could be used to quickly deport all those given green cards and such, like the Somalians, who are NOT citizens. Of course, it would only apply to any caught committing fraud against the US government after the law was passed. But, the Democrats in the Senate will surely stop cloture, so, it will never pass and make it to Trump’s desk.

Warmists Dump Darwin In Face Of Climate Doom

By William Teach March 18, 2026 – 3:25 pm

There was a time when Liberals, who comprise the vast majority of Warmists, were adamant about Darwanism. This peaked, seemingly, when Bush 43 was in office, being a big Christian, and there being lots of talk about Creationism and Intelligent Design. But, with the slide from being concerned over anthropogenic global warming to being Warmists to being members of a doomsday cult the notion of adaptation quickly died. But, no fear, a flower is changing!

Can evolution keep up with climate change? This flower offers hope.

People have been trying all sorts of strategies to help species keep up in a warming world. They have bred hybrid coral from different parts of the world to create heat tolerant variants, worked to protect habitat projected to stay cooler as temperatures rise, even moved migratory birds to help them keep pace with the seasons.

But species aren’t just waiting for humans to help them out. In the latest example, the scarlet monkeyflower, a low-to-the-ground perennial with showy red blooms, has shown it contains the genetic capacity to rapidly evolve in the face of a punishing drought, according to research just published in Science.

The discovery suggests there is hope that at least some species can keep up with the speed at which the climate is changing. And it offers genetic clues that might help guide selection of specific plants within a species that are better suited to a hotter world.

Darwin noted changes to the life in the Galapagos, with things like the length of the beaks of birds changing according to whether it was a longer wet or dry period. The science involved is, of course, a bit suspect and way too short to make any true adaptation determination, but, life adapts. It adapted during the previous warm and cool Holocene periods. And, sometimes it dies out, like during the last glacial age.

“The concern has been that climate change is happening too fast and its changes are too big for evolution to keep up,” Amy Angert, an ecologist at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and the paper’s senior author. “Our research shows that for monkeyflower, and likely similar wild plants, they can indeed keep pace and ‘rescue’ themselves.”

By fast they mean a whopping 1.6-1.7 Fahrenheit increase since 1850. That’s nothing.

The new insights arose from a fortunate coincidence. Angert and colleagues began collecting scarlet monkeyflower seeds from different parts of Oregon and California in the early 2000s, at a time when the region was already in the grip of what has been termed a “megadrought.” What they didn’t know at the time is that the most severe episode in that drought would strike from 2012 to 2015, creating the driest conditions California has witnessed in more than 10,000 years.

They cannot prove that, only infer it. Oh, and what caused the dry period 10K years ago? They never say. They also can never let go of the doom.
