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.

White House Offers An Olive Branch On Immigration To End Democrats DHS Shutdown

By William Teach March 18, 2026 – 10:30 am

Obviously, this will never fly with Democrats, because their idea of compromise is to get everything they want and give nothing

White House Offers Narrow Immigration Enforcement Changes As Talks Drag On

White House officials on Tuesday outlined narrow adjustments the administration would make to federal immigration enforcement operations to answer Democratic demands for major changes in exchange for funding the Department of Homeland Security.

In a letter to Senate Republicans, the administration ignored several of Democrats’ top priorities, including blocking immigration officers from wearing masks to shield their identities and requiring them to obtain warrants from judges to enter private homes or businesses. And the proposal did not address Democrats’ call for a use-of-force policy, a central demand they made after federal immigration officers killed two American citizens in Minneapolis.

Any use of force policy still would have seen the two dead because trying to kill law enforcement officers usually gets you a casket.

In the letter, Tom Homan, the White House border czar, and James Braid, a top legislative affairs aide, said that the administration was open to enforcing “the use of visible officer identification,” something that Democrats have called for, and requiring federal immigration officials to identify themselves and state their law-enforcement agency when asked. Their proposal would exempt undercover officers.

They also wrote that White House would limit “civil immigration enforcement activities” at “certain sensitive locations” like hospitals and schools, though they proposed an exception for “immediate needs like national security, flight risks and public safety.”

Democrats have demanded that immigration officers be prohibited from conducting enforcement near locations like child-care facilities, churches, polling places and courts, and they will likely request a clear definition of “sensitive locations” as a condition of accepting a deal.

By near, Dems most likely mean within 3 miles of one. As for masks, well, as long as Democrat voters are raving wackjobs and attack immigration officers and their families that won’t end

Mr. Homan and Mr. Braid also said the administration would “expand the use” of body cameras, except for undercover officers, and require that footage be retained. That offer appeared to fall short of Democrats’ demands that all immigration officers be required to wear body cameras.

Really, Homan should get behind the use of body cams, since they show in the vast majority of times that the officers were not the problem. Demanding all cops wear them was a big backfire. I’m not sure why cops wouldn’t want to wear them. Especially ICE right now.

Mr. Homan and Mr. Braid said that officials would no longer block lawmakers from conducting unannounced oversight visits of immigration detention facilities. House Democrats sued the Homeland Security Department over policies that sought to limit those visits, and a federal judge has blocked the department from implementing them.

They were never blocked, they just needed to give notice. Just like always. These days, though, every wacko Dem would rather spend time going to ICE facilities than helping their American constituents.

Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, accused the White House on Tuesday of failing to engage on requirements around masks and warrants and suggested that the Trump administration’s offer remained unacceptable.

“They haven’t budged on those,” Mr. Schumer said. “They’ve got to get serious.”

See? The Trump admin offers to do a goodly chunk of what Dems wanted, but, that’s not enough, it must be all or nothing for Democrats. Did Democrats require warrants when Obama was picking illegals up and quickly deporting them? Nope. Or during the Biden regime? Nope. And what are Democrats willing to give up? To offer?

Here We Go: Cult Yammering About Climate Fingerprints In Tornadoes

By William Teach March 18, 2026 – 7:00 am

Because tornadoes never happened before people drove fossil fueled vehicles and had freedom

Are There Climate Fingerprints in Tornado Activity?

It’s been a weird few weeks for weather across the United States.

While the West braces for the peak of a record-breaking heat wave, massive snowstorms and hail pummel several states in the Midwest. Meanwhile, communities in the Southeast and along the East Coast contend with severe storms that could trigger flooding and wind damage throughout the region.

In certain areas, these storms could bring some of the deadliest weather disasters: tornadoes. Several tornadoes ransacked the Midwest earlier this month, with multiple fatalities confirmed. A few more twisters have already hit this week, including in Tennessee, Alabama and North Carolina. Tornado warnings extended as far north as New Jersey Monday night.

You mean like always?

This aligns with a subtle shift scientists have observed in the places these weather events hit, with rising tornado frequency across parts of the Northeast, the Southeast and the Midwest. At the same time, researchers have seen a decrease in the atmospheric conditions that support tornadoes in some parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado—where they’ve historically been a greater threat. There are some indications that climate change has played a part in this trend and slight changes in tornado behavior in recent decades, as my colleague Kiley Bense reported.

But tornadoes are notoriously difficult to predict, and sussing out their climate connection is even harder, scientists say. While many questions remain, any changes in tornado activity and ranges could have major consequences for the more populated Southeast and East Coast.

You can see where they’re going: “we do not really know for sure, but, hey, you should still believe this is all Someone Else’s fault”

“Each tornado is a localized creature, which makes it difficult to link directly to global climate trends,” meteorologist Bob Henson wrote for Yale Climate Connections in 2021.

Still, some answers to how tornado behavior is changing over the long term are coming into focus. More data exists as stormchasers and social media users contribute photos and videos of tornadoes.

Let me ask: can they make comparisons to previous Holocene warm periods? If not, no scientific determination can be made as to if anything unusual is going on.  How much does land use and Urban Heat Island effect have on twisters? None of this matters to the cult, it’s all about prognosticating doom to create stronger governmental control.

Could The US Invade Iran To Get All Their Uranium?

By William Teach March 18, 2026 – 6:45 am

Obviously, many in the media want to bang the gong and scaremonger on this, all to demonize Trump and hopefully drive a wedge between Trump and his supporters, which ends up with the media and others throwing their support behind the Iranian regime and opposing the United States. And supporting Iran’s nuclear weapons program. But

Reports of large US invasion to get Iran 60% nuke uranium likely overblown – exclusive

surprise surprise surpriseDespite numerous reports in recent days about a potential imminent and multi-sided US invasion of parts of Iran, including plans to retrieve 60% enriched uranium, The Jerusalem Post understands that these reports are exaggerated.

It is still possible that the US could use ground forces in some fashion. But the images of a large-scale invasion and specifically the idea of an extended mission in Isfahan to retrieve the 60% enriched uranium, which is part of Iran’s nuclear program, do not appear to be in the cards, the Post has learned.

Rather, the US’s military objectives have been consistently summarized as focused on eliminating ballistic missiles, drones, and naval threats – not the enriched uranium per se.

With a staggering 7,000 attacks since February 28, the US has also assisted with some strikes on Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps positions, but has left much of that targeting to Israel.

What could be problematic is that more than two weeks into the war, neither Israel nor the US has announced any successful operations or attacks to neutralize the two largest remaining nuclear threats from Iran.

Perhaps that is not the goal at this time

Further, the IDF has declined to provide confidence that these two threats will be dealt with before the end of the war.

Some Israelis had hoped, based on reports of an American intervention, that at least the 60% enriched uranium would be seized or diluted.

However, as the issue has been more thoroughly analyzed, concerns have been raised that digging through the rubble to reach the uranium could take days or longer.

Maybe they’re going to get to bombing the crap out of the areas, burying it beneath more and more rubble as all the weapons of Iran are destroyed and their leadership is killed off? Who knows. It’s a Bad Idea to tell the enemy your plans.

The amphibious assault ship, USS Tripoli – believed to be carrying thousands of marines to the Middle East – is nearing the Malacca Strait off Singapore on its way to the region, maritime tracking data showed on Tuesday, according to CNN. CNN reported that the Tripoli is believed to be carrying troops from the Okinawa-based 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), a rapid-response force of 2,200 personnel.

MEUs can be used for ship-to-shore movements, including raids and assaults, and some of their units are trained for special operations.

Why else would the US be moving such a force to the region if it was not planning an invasion?

Good question. But, putting all those troops on the ground deep into Iran, which is rather mountainous, could be dangerous, and I seriously doubt Trump has any intention of doing so. But, the US media wants Americans to think Trump is a warmonger, after they pushed Obama as a president of peace, even after launching a complete war of choice in Libya, which led to ISIS and so much Mid-East instability.

Good News: Cuba Becomes Net Zero!

By William Teach March 17, 2026 – 3:00 pm

Every experiment needs an experimental group, right?

Islandwide blackout hits Cuba as it struggles with deepening energy crisis

Officials in Cuba reported an islandwide blackout Monday in the country of some 11 million people as its energy and economic crises deepen and its power grid continues to crumble.

The Ministry of Energy and Mines on X noted a “complete disconnection” of the country’s electrical system and said it was investigating, noting there were no failures in the units that were operating when the grid collapsed.

Lázaro Guerra, the ministry’s electricity director, told state media late Monday that crews were trying to restart several thermoelectric plants, which are key to restoring power.

“It must be done gradually to avoid setbacks,” he said. “Because systems, when very weak, are more susceptible to failure.” (snip)

It was the third major blackout in Cuba over the past four months.

Sounds like they’re ahead of California and Spain, anyhow.

Cuba’s aging grid has drastically eroded in recent years, leading to daily outages and an increase in islandwide blackouts. But the government also has blamed its woes on a U.S. energy blockade after U.S. President Donald Trump in January warned of tariffs on any country that sells or provides oil to Cuba. The Trump administration is demanding that Cuba release political prisoners and move toward political and economic liberalization in return for a lifting of sanctions. Trump also has raised the possibility of a “friendly takeover of Cuba.”

Hey, Trump’s just trying to get Cuba off their dependence on Evil fossil fuels. Warmists should be congratulating Trump

LeoGrande said that if the island drastically reduces consumption and expands renewables, it can struggle along for a while without oil shipments. “But it would be constant misery for the general population, and eventually, the economy could collapse just completely and then you would have social chaos and probably mass migration,” he said.

To ramp up solar power even faster than Cuba did last year, LeoGrande said other countries, principally China, would have to be willing to double or more their provision of such equipment.

Where do you put all those solar panels? How do they afford it? What happens at night? I think they should really go down this route. Trump should make sure all ships, and none can use fossil fuels, carrying solar panels would be allowed through. Let’s see what happens. Do they become North Korea?
