DHS Calls NY Times’ “Report” On Abuse Of Illegals A Bunch Of BS

DHS Rejects NY Times Report on ICE Abuse Claims

The Department of Homeland Security on Sunday rejected a New York Times report alleging that migrants in U.S. immigration detention experienced abusive and violent treatment at the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

“Another day and another hoax about ICE detention from the @nytimes,” DHS said on X. “The media is clearly desperate for these false allegations to be true.”

The dispute centers on a report in the Times published Sunday that featured accounts from 10 deportees who said they experienced or witnessed what they described as abusive treatment by ICE officers.

The migrants were among those deported by the Trump administration to third countries, including Liberia, despite having no apparent ties to the West African nation, according to The Hill.

So, the illegals are upset over where they were sent

One deportee, Leonardo Sánchez, a Cuban migrant, told the Times that ICE officers forced him and three other migrants onto the tarmac in Monrovia after they refused to leave the aircraft.

Sánchez alleged that federal agents twisted the migrants’ handcuffs, forced them to the ground, and pressed their knees onto their necks.

“They didn’t treat us like people, like human beings,” said Carlos Téllez-Sanchez, a Venezuelan migrant deported to Liberia. “They can say or do anything to you and there’s nothing you can do.”

If you wanted to be treated well you could have voluntarily left the U.S. Gone back to your home country. Could have gone anywhere else. They chose not to. Did the NY Times’ reach out to the illegals to solicit these stories of “abuse”? And find 10, who do not seem to speak English, who will Complain? Remember, this is the same media who had to be dragged kicking and screaming to covering Obama’s cages for illegals, but, then wanted to Blame Trump for them.

In a Sunday statement, the Times said its four journalists who worked on the story “rigorously reported it” by “interviewing 10 people sent from the United States to Africa and obtaining corroborating information about their experiences.”

Four “journalists” who never went there in person.

Your Fault: Trees In UK Are Just Giving Up Or Something

By William Teach August 31, 2026 – 7:15 am

I don’t think I’ve seen this one before

Trees ‘giving up’: Climate change hammers historic English gardens

At Hampton Court Palace, head gardener Graham Dillamore strode across the burnt beige grass in the spectacular formal gardens southwest of London, laid out in the 17th century.

“If we have a summer like this next year, by God, it’s going to be a struggle,” said Dillamore, who has spent more than 20 years tending the gardens of the Baroque and Tudor red-brick palace where King Henry VIII once caroused.

Created by master designers such as Lancelot “Capability” Brown and William Kent, the gardens of stately homes such as Hampton Court, Blenheim Palace, and Chatsworth House are among England’s top visitor attractions.

But their historic style of planting and ancient trees are being hammered by climate change — including record heatwaves and drought this summer.

Weather changes.

“Some of these trees have actually given up. They’re not going to come back, they’re finished,” said Dillamore, who also oversees gardens at Kensington Palace, the official London residence of Prince William and his wife, Catherine. “We’re losing mature tree stock and that’s tragic in a historic garden.”

It was warmer in the UK during the Medieval Warm Period than it is now. But, cultists have to fearmonger.

Wacko Judge Decides It’s Not OK To Deport Pro-Hamas Foreigners

By William Teach August 31, 2026 – 7:00 am

Obviously a Biden appointee, and fits the bill of an AWFL to a tee. She’s a wacko on gender, of course, and outside the mainstream on the 1st Amendment. Except where it applies to foreigners who hate America, hate Jews, hate Israel, and love Islamic terrorists

Judge declares Rubio’s speech-based student deportations violate the Constitution

A federal judge on Friday declared that the Trump administration’s efforts to deport noncitizens for political speech run counter to the Constitution’s First and Fifth Amendments, the latest legal rebuke of the White House’s expansive immigration agenda.

Northern District of California Judge Noël Wise, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, sided with the Stanford Daily, which sued Secretary of State Marco Rubio, arguing that his use of the Immigration and Nationality Act to deport noncitizen students had foreign students refraining from writing opinion pieces critical of the administration.

”In the United States, freedom of speech belongs to the people,” Wise wrote in her opinion. “It is not the government’s to take.”

If someone threatens to kill someone, to blow a building up, well, that is not free speech. Taking the side of Islamic terrorists is not free speech

Another plaintiff was an unnamed woman who is a lawful noncitizen in the U.S. who was previously in the country on a student visa at a school that was not Stanford and “has refrained from publishing and voicing her true opinions regarding Palestine and Israel and has deleted a social media account to guard against retaliation for past expression,” according to court documents.

“Here you can simultaneously hate the content of a person’s speech and love the country that cherishes the freedom to allow it,” Wise wrote. “Zealous protection of our Constitutional right to free speech is a provocative demonstration of our country’s powerful lack of fear.”

Most of these foreigners do not love America. They have no Right to be present in the US.

A State Department spokesperson, given anonymity to discuss internal thought processes within the agency, told POLITICO that the U.S. “is under no obligation to admit or suffer the presence of individuals who subvert our laws and deny our citizens their Constitutional rights.”

“More broadly, the Department of State is committed to protecting our nation and its citizens by upholding the highest standards of national security and public safety through our visa process,” the spokesperson said. “A visa is a privilege, not a right.”

And based on the Supreme Court ruling in Trump v CASA, Wise’s ruling can only apply in her district.

LOL: Biden Honored Iraqi Woman Of Courage Designated A Terrorist

By William Teach August 30, 2026 – 7:00 am

Doesn’t really highlight how insane the Biden administration was?

From the article

Four years ago, Taif Sami Mohammed was being celebrated by the United States as one of the world’s most courageous women. Secretary of State Antony Blinken praised the senior Iraqi official as the country’s “Iron Woman,” crediting her with stopping bribes, uncovering schemes that enriched corrupt officials and fighting corruption despite threats against her.

Today, Mohammed is believed to be outside Iraq on the U.S. terrorist watchlist and can no longer enter the United States.

A State Department official told Fox News Digital the department revoked Mohammed’s visa this week, marking a dramatic reversal for an official who received one of the Biden administration’s highest-profile awards for women in 2022.

“While the Biden State Department shamefully celebrated and awarded foreigners who threaten our nation, the Trump State Department revokes their visas and ensures these individuals are removed from our country,” Assistant Secretary of State for Global Public Affairs Dylan Johnson told Fox News Digital.

What’s her problem?

Republican lawmakers previously accused her of helping facilitate terrorist financing through Iraq’s financial system and urged the Trump administration to take action against her. Reps. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., and Greg Steube, R-Fla., called Mohammed a “key enabler of terrorist funding in Iraq” and pushed the administration to impose sanctions.

Those allegations stand in stark contrast to how the Biden administration described Mohammed when it selected her for the State Department’s International Women of Courage Award in 2022.

And while Biden said she stopped corruption, the Iraqi government wants her for being corrupt. And jihad watchers say she was involved in funding Iranian backed terrorist groups. Maybe Joe should have given her some ice cream?

Bummer: Democrats Aren’t Talking About Global Sizzling

By William Teach August 29, 2026 – 4:32 pm

It’s so horrible!

The Earth is sizzling, but climate isn’t a hot topic for Democrats in this year’s campaigns

Climate change has been the backdrop to Charles Hughes’ entire life, from kindergarten lessons about disappearing habitats to wildfire smoke billowing through the air he breathed while growing up in Colorado. But now that he’s a college student in Massachusetts, he said global warming is rarely a top issue.

“Honestly, it doesn’t come up as much,” said Hughes, who chairs the state’s chapter of the College Democrats.

What a difference six years makes.

It’s rarely a top issue in most polls, not when matched against real world issues

During President Donald Trump’s first term and especially during the Democratic primaries to determine who would run against him in 2020, Democrats spoke constantly about climate change. They used it to rally young voters such as Hughes, fueling protests and sweeping demands to remake the economy with proposals like the Green New Deal.

But there has been a national shift in the conversation that is sharp enough for some researchers to coin the term “climate hushing” to describe it. The Searchlight Institute, a Democratic think tank, urged the party to stop mentioning climate change because it is not a priority for voters. The Sunrise Movement, a left-wing group that pushed global warming as a top issue for young people, switched its mission last fall to a broader mandate of fighting the Republican president.

See? Trump Derangement Syndrome is more important to them than ‘climate change’.

The shift is encapsulated by the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts on Tuesday as the incumbent, Ed Markey, 80, tries to fend off a challenge from U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton, 47. Although Markey still talks about sponsoring the Green New Deal, his campaign is more focused on other issues to burnish his left-wing bona fides and prove to voters that he is not too old for the job.

It is the latest example of how climate change has been eclipsed by issues such as affordability, U.S. support for Israel and, above all, how to confront Trump.

Also, all the complete insanity being driven by the Theater Kids running as DSA members.

The Sunrise Movement, founded in 2017 to mobilize young voters over climate issues, announced in October that it was shifting to a broader fight against “fascism.” The group’s executive director, Aru Shiney-Ajay, said that was a prescient move because of reports that federal agents infiltrated protest meetings during Trump’s immigration raids in Minneapolis.

“We just live in a significantly more authoritarian country. Because of that, a lot of the Democratic primaries are about more existential questions,” Shiney-Ajay, whose network generally backs left-wing Democrats, said in an interview. “It has felt less like people care less about climate and more like people are increasingly freaked out about other issues.”

It’s so Fascist and authoritarian that they are….able to do all this protesting and stuff. But, yeah, the article mentions if the Dems will the House and/or Senate they’ll get back to beating the bandwagon, because, really, the climate scam is all about government dominance.

NYC’s Islamist Mayor To Attend 9/11 Ceremony

By William Teach August 29, 2026 – 10:30 am

Of course, really, Mamdani is in a no win situation. He’d be lambasted for not participating, lambasted for not showing up

Mayor Mamdani expected to attend 9/11 ceremonies for 25th anniversary, Trump will not

Mayor Zohran Mamdani is expected to attend the September 11th ceremonies, despite calls from some critics.

While the city has been preparing for a presidential visit on the 25th anniversary of the terror attacks, as of now, President Trump is not expected to attend.

Instead, the administration will be represented by Vice President JD Vance.

Trump is expected to commemorate the day at the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and is expected to deliver remarks.

OK, they managed to make it All About Trump. Will anyone be going to Shanksville, Pa, where Flight 93 crashed?

‘Let us have our peace’: Fearing disruption at Ground Zero, 9/11 families ask Mamdani to stay away

…

Giovanni Galante, whose wife Grace Catherine was among those killed by al-Qaeda terrorists on September 11, 2001, told the Post that Mamdani’s intention to attend the ceremony was “a slap in the face… Not because he is Muslim – because of who he supports. He represents values that are not ours.”

Florida real estate agent Galante was responsible for launching a petition last month, alongside other family members of those murdered on 9/11, calling for Mamdani to be excluded from the 25th-year memorial events on account of his association with extremism and refusal to condemn antisemitism.

According to the petition, concerns have been raised about Mamdani’s public positions, including a perceived reluctance to “clearly and unequivocally condemn phrases such as ‘globalize the intifada,’ which many interpret as endorsing or normalizing violence.”

Further, the mayor’s “associations with individuals whose public statements or records are viewed by family members as dismissive of American institutions or insufficiently critical of extremist ideologies,” the petition read.

Mamdani essentially takes the side of Hamas. If you do that you are on the side of Islamic terrorists. But, again, damned if you do damned if you don’t. I really wouldn’t be surprised if some of his hard left and Israel/Jew hating Comrades showed up to “protest” and cause problems on 9/11, though.

Hopefully a bunch of other big wigs in the Democrat party who are on Hamas’ side stay away. Will hard left nutters like AOC be at the memorial?

9/11 victim identified weeks before 25th anniversary of attacks

It has been almost 25 years since the Sept. 11 attacks on America rocked the country, but scientists are still trying to give closure to those families who lost loved ones.

Weeks before the quarter-century anniversary, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the New York City Medical Examiner’s Office announced that another person was recently identified, The New York Times reported.

It was the first identification in nearly 12 months.

The victim was an adult woman whose family did not want her name released. She is the 1,654th identification made since 2001.

While that seems to be a large amount, the job is not nearly done, as about 40% of victims of the 9/11 attacks have not been identified by name.

That seems wild to me that 25 years later the bodies are not all identified.

College Football Has Started, So, We Need To Talk About ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach August 29, 2026 – 7:15 am

You know how it goes at this point: something is happening so the doomsday cult must interject itself like a nosy Karen

New Realities Of College Football Have Climate Change Lessons Too

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for people like me. It’s the start of the college football season. My beloved Florida State Seminoles take the field this weekend, and my equally beloved Georgia Bulldogs play next week. I am a three-time FSU alumnus, and a long-time professor at UGA. I often have converging thoughts in my mind. This morning is one of those moments. The world continues to experience extreme heat domes, flooding, tropical cyclones, drought and wildfires. The tragic events at the China – Nepal border, a place warming extremely fast, are fresh on my mind. While coming out of slumber this morning, an analogy hit me. The changing landscape of college football is also an analogy for climate change realities.

It’s not the perfect analogy but go with me. If you follow college football, you know that it has changed. Fan bases, university leaders, players and families are adjusting to a “new normal” that includes NIL, transfer portals, and forms of player compensation. At the Orange Bowl a few years ago, I sat next to a woman at the Florida State – Georgia game. She lamented the current landscape and romanticized the college football days of the past. (big snip through several paragraphs talking about how things in football have changed)

We now experience a “new normal” climate system too. The analogy is rooted in normalcy, expectations, and natural cycles of events. People understand that weather and climate have natural cycles. It rains. Winter comes and goes. Ice Ages happen. El Niño, like the strong one we are in right now, appears every two to seven years. Hurricanes are features of late summer months. By the way, Tropical Storm Dolly is headed towards the Leeward Islands right now but is expected to eventually weaken as it nears Puerto Rico.

Even with these natural aspects, human activities related to carbon emissions, land surface changes, air pollution and urbanization are rapidly, relatively speaking, changing the climate. Studies continue to point to the signatures of climate change in downpours, heatwaves, tropical cyclone intensity, drought, wildfires, and reduced extreme cold events. A 2026 report by the National Academies provides the latest assessment of extreme weather linkages to climate change.
