DHS To Prosecute Two Criminal Leakers

By William Teach March 8, 2025 – 10:30 am

It is actually refreshing that federal employees will be held accountable for their actions

Noem says DHS has ID’d, will seek prosecution of ‘criminal leakers’

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Friday that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified two “criminal leakers” within its ranks and will refer them to the Department of Justice for felony prosecutions.

“We have identified criminal leakers within @DHSgov and are preparing to refer these perpetrators to the @TheJusticeDept for felony prosecutions. These individuals face up to 10 years in federal prison,” she wrote in a post on the social platform X along with a video message.

“We plan to prosecute these two individuals and hold them accountable for what they have done,” Noem announced in the video, saying that they leaked the department’s operations and put law enforcement officials’ lives at risk.

The names of the individuals have not been revealed.

Last month, Tom Homan, President Trump’s  “border czar,” said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions in Colorado were hindered after a raid was “leaked,” allowing the targets to escape.

So many federal employees think they can do whatever they want whenever they want, regardless of the rules. And laws. It’s nothing new, it’s been going on for decades, but, it continues to get worse, partly because nothing happens to the leakers. Who has paid the price for leaking the Supreme Court decision on abortion? Sure, some young folks will get in trouble for taking photos in a submarine to impress their girlfriend, but, when they leak for their left wing politics? Nothing. Well, not anymore. This is not whistleblowing (remember, the Biden admin went after them). This is not free speech, not petitioning for redress of grievance, not protesting peaceably. These are criminal violations, and they will pay the price.

Leftist States Move Ahead With Their Own Climate (scam) Rules

By William Teach March 8, 2025 – 7:15 am

I find it interesting how Green Central Banking (sounds rather commie) goes with rules: in other words, forcing the peasants to comply while the Elites are exempt

US states forge ahead with climate rules even as Trump rolls back policies

As the US federal government rolls back its green policies under Donald Trump’s anti-climate agenda, some states are taking the fight against climate change into their own hands.

Two bills reintroduced in New York’s senate would require climate disclosure rules similar to those adopted by California in 2023, while a bill requiring greenhouse gas emissions disclosures was introduced in Colorado in January.

State legislators in Democratic states have been considering climate reporting rules for several years, largely driven by uncertainty around the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) climate reporting rules. The SEC’s rules took two years to pass and were watered down to exclude scope 3 emissions, and have been frozen since the change in administration. (snip)

Because both bills target large companies operating in their respective states, there is likely to be some overlap. However some companies in New York that don’t operate in California, such as real estate and regional hedge funds, would be required to disclose, said Fajans-Turner. And having two major states with similar climate reporting rules would also send “strong market signals to companies about what the expected way of doing business is”, she added.

Or, it could cause those companies to abandon those states. You can bet there will be lawsuits the minute they are signed. And, it will cause quite a few companies to no longer give Democrats any campaign funding.

This is just the beginning, said Sawyer, as many states and Americans recognise the material impact that climate change has on the economy. State action is likely to increase, as it is up to states to “pick up the slack” from the federal government. The Trump administration has dismantled much of the climate progress made by the previous administration, such as rolling back an executive order that required federal agencies to assess climate-related financial risks to the economy.

Suddenly, Democrats discover States Rights.

Sec Of State To Revoke Visas Of People Supporting Terrorist Groups

By William Teach March 8, 2025 – 7:00 am

Too bad Marco Rubio can’t force all the U.S. college kids wearing keffiyehs and chanting about destroying Israel and killing Jews to study in Islamic nations

(Times Of Israel) US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says foreigners supporting terror groups will face deportation, in a statement issued shortly after Axios reported that his office is planning to use artificial intelligence to revoke visas of foreign students who are perceived as supporters of Hamas.

“Those who support designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas, threaten our national security. The United States has zero tolerance for foreign visitors who support terrorists. Violators of US law — including international students — face visa denial or revocation and deportation,” Rubio tweets.

The State Department’s “Catch and Revoke” initiative will include AI-assisted reviews of tens of thousands of student visa holders’ social media accounts, Axios reported.

At the same time, officials will also launch a probe into whether any visa holders were arrested but allowed to stay in the country during former US president Joe Biden’s administration, the report added.

That AI is going to look at tens of thousands of students. Too bad they can’t easily go after all the other visa holders who have marched in the streets. Too bad they can’t scoop up those imported and granted mass citizenship, which can be revoked. They should be looking at those on Temporary Protected Status and other measures that import huge numbers of people from Islamic countries if they are radicals.

For those saying this violates free speech: they are not US citizens, and they are violating their student visas by supporting a US designated terrorist organization, plus calling for Jews to be killed. They are guests in the U.S.

Uh Oh: Extreme Rain Causes E Coli In Marginalized Communities

By William Teach March 7, 2025 – 5:02 pm

Apparently, ‘climate change’ is so smart that it can send rain to certain communities and make only those people sick

Scientists uncover troubling health risks that can occur after rainfall: ‘This is a complicated issue’

Black and Latino communities are bearing the brunt of E. coli-contaminated waters due to extreme rainfall in Texas, according to a new study.

The University of Michigan-led research looked at Escherichia coli, climate, environmental, and socioeconomic data available for the state between 2001 and 2021 and used computational models to explore where extreme rainfall had the greatest impact on E. coli levels.

News Medical Life Sciences summarized the paper, explaining that the impact varied by season. For instance, communities in the northern and eastern parts of the state with greater percentages of Black residents had higher concentrations of E. coli entering their recreational waters due to extreme rain during the winter. Predominantly Latino communities in South and West Texas feel these effects in September.

Or, it could be that their computer models are designed to be super scary and entice minorities to join the doomsday cult. Along with getting all those rich white liberals to feel bad about those poor, downtrodden blacks and Latinos who cannot take care of themselves without the big hand of government, of which those rich white liberals think all blacks and Latinos are.

But E. coli is just one public health concern for communities of color across the United States. For instance, rising seas and frequent bouts of torrential rain are causing septic tanks across the South to fail, flooding streets and backyards with waste and putting communities at risk for gastrointestinal diseases and other health hazards. In Alabama’s majority-Black Lowndes County, where septic systems are becoming increasingly overwhelmed, at least a third of people have tested positive for hookworm, a disease normally found in developing countries.

Holy crap, do you know how bad that paragraph is? Besides the whole “climate doom is targeting black people”, Lowndes County is well inland. It is 153 miles from Hayneville, Alabama, the center of the county, to Pensacola, Florida. The lowest part of the county is still 47 (154 feet) meters above sea level.

Oh, hey, where’s that E. coli coming from? Are they saying that E. coli is worse in black and brown areas? Seems rather racist.

Big Sad: ICE To Now Go After Illegal Alien Families

By William Teach March 7, 2025 – 10:30 am

How many can there actually be? A goodly chunk of the photos we see have been of young, military age men

Trump raids will now target migrant families who entered the U.S. with their children

U.S. immigration agents are planning a new operation to arrest migrant families with children as part of a nationwide crackdown, according to three sources familiar with the planning.

The operation will target adults and minor children who entered the country together and have orders of deportation, the source said. After the families are arrested, agents will place them into detention before they are removed.

A separate operation to find children who entered the United States unaccompanied and were released without court dates is also underway, the sources added.

The sources said lawyers at Immigration and Customs Enforcement are now working to secure warrants to enter homes and conduct the arrests.

I enjoy how NBC News put the two operations together, making it seem as if the operation to find the kids the Biden-Harris admin lost is to round them up and deport them. Don’t think this wasn’t done intentionally. Especially since the operation to find the unaccompanied and missing kids started weeks ago

During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump and border czar Tom Homan said that plans for mass deportations would initially focus on migrants who had committed crimes. The new plans for national operations show that many of the families and children to be targeted do not have criminal histories.

And it did start with criminals, and will continue. Because, get this, they are all criminals. They broke federal law when they came across the border. And the adults already have court ordered deportation against them.

Since 2014, the Obama, Trump and Biden administrations have all attempted to deter families and unaccompanied minors from crossing the border.

No one actually believes Obama and Biden tried to deter them, right? They pretty much invited them in, and did all they could to bring them in, because it would totally Be Mean to not allow them in, and Be Mean to deport them, right?

After Joe Biden took office in 2021, his administration started a program that placed migrants who had crossed the border as part of a family on a path for expedited removal, which required the head of households to be tracked with an ankle monitor until the family was deported. The program was costly, former ICE officials say, and was limited to certain cities in the U.S.

And how many were actually deported? Even though it was Biden, you would have heard about it in the news, with Blame assigned to ICE, not Joe. Regardless, what you have here surely is people in the Trump admin intentionally leaking this information as a way to let illegals with deportation orders that federal authorities are coming for them. And that those without orders (yet) could be next, and probably are next. And that those who try and come illegally shouldn’t, because they will not be allowed in if caught, and those that make it will probably be caught and deported. Just because they have kids doesn’t mean they will be exempt.

Baltimore Residents Are Totally Worried About Climate Doom

By William Teach March 7, 2025 – 7:00 am

This is a hoot, and shows how people have been indoctrinated to believe in the wrong things

Baltimore-area residents worry about effects of climate change on their lives

climate doom yearlyFor Baltimore, climate change feels personal: Nearly three-quarters of city and county residents worry that climate change will hurt them, with that concern highest among the wealthiest Black households and the poorest white ones, according to a new report from the Johns Hopkins University’s 21st Century Cities Initiative.

The findings challenge widely held perceptions that climate change is a luxury issue for affluent white people, the report authors said.

“Our impressions are often shaped by the people who have time to turn up to meetings or those with access to media channels. They end up being the loudest voice in the room, so we assume they care the most,” said lead author Michael Bader, an associate professor of sociology at Johns Hopkins and faculty director of the 21st Century Cities Initiative. “But, in our survey, everyone has an equal voice. And our data show that many preconceived notions around who cares about climate change turn out to be wrong.” (snip)

When asked whether they thought climate change would impact them personally in the next five years, more than 90% of the Black households earning more than $110,000 a year said they worried they would be harmed, compared to 62% of the white households in the same income bracket.

So, essentially, higher end folks. The median household income for Baltimore is $58K.

But, let’s consider: according to Neighborhood Scout Baltimore is a 1, meaning it is “Safer than 1% of U.S. cities.” Zero is the worst. The average violent crime rate for Maryland is 4.26 and US is 6. Baltimore is 15.81. The property crime rate is double the Maryland and US rates. There are 408 crimes per square mile.

19.6% of the population is below poverty level. 60.7% are Black. Perhaps they should all be concerned with crime and stuff. Not the climate scam.

LOL: “Make Democrats Funny Again”

By William Teach March 7, 2025 – 6:45 am

I mean, this out of reality screed made me laugh. It’s by former Obama alum Joe Jacobson, who’s at the uber-Leftist Progress Action Fund, which is a different group that the The Center For American Progress Fund. Though, both are wackadoodle moonbat groups

Make Democrats Funny Again | Opinion

Despite President Donald Trump’s claims, the 2024 election always felt less like a Trump victory and more like a Democratic collapse. Kamala Harris outspent Trump by nearly $700 million—only to get knocked out on the first night. No amount of ads, door-knocking, or “all-star” consultants could make people like Democrats. And now, as America white-knuckles through a fresh constitutional crisis every other day, Democrats still can’t figure out why voters keep turning them away.

For years, Democrats have branded themselves as the adults in the room—the stable, rational choice. But in practice, that has meant coming off as stiff, preachy, and painfully out of touch. We have positioned ourselves as the political equivalent of the no-fun hall monitor scolding you, while Elon Musk and company drink beer and crack jokes in the parking lot. Democratic leadership seems stunned that this approach is turning voters away. But the numbers don’t lie—our approval ratings are at historic lows, and it’s time for the party to face the reality of the situation: we’re not funny, we’re uptight dorks.

No, you are not uptight dorks: you’re unhinged wackjob moonbats who embrace every nutjob position you can find, and are out of touch with the majority of Americans. To put it succinctly.

We weren’t always dorks. Democrats once had leaders like Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and the Kennedys—people you wanted to laugh and have a beer with. They weren’t just competent; they were likable. They could connect, make people laugh, and win voters with policy AND personality.

Clinton, sure, love him or loathe him. He related. Obama was as scripted as you can get, and as fake, but, he mostly didn’t act moonbat. People could relate to JFK, but, that was the early 60’s. Ted was a drunk woman killer.

With his absurd hair and larger-than-life persona, Trump is a walking meme. That’s precisely his power. He didn’t win because of business genius or some sixth sense to know the nation’s pulse. He won because he built himself into a character that millions of Americans feel they know. He’s not a politician to them; he’s an entertainer, a spectacle, a symbol of sticking it to the establishment. Democrats, blinded by their hatred of him, have ignored this. Worse, they’ve defined themselves entirely in opposition to him.

Trump was always Trump. If you grew up in the Tri-State area you know this is who he is. And, he does know the nation’s pulse.

Now, when was the last time you saw a Democrat crack a joke that actually landed with someone outside the base? The right has an entire media ecosystem dedicated to mocking liberals—Greg Gutfeld, Ben Shapiro, right-wing Twitter trolls. Meanwhile, Democratic politicians are out here delivering lectures that sound like a college ethics professor on cough medicine.

Actually, more like unhinged nutter leftists on TikTok shaving their heads.

Voters don’t want to be talked down to; they want to laugh. They want leaders who can drop a killer one-liner, roast their opponents, and—most importantly—laugh at themselves. Instead, Democrats have spent years trying to win arguments instead of winning people over. The result? A party that often comes across as humorless, uptight, and, well… dorky.

They might also want elected politicians and such who feel the way Americans do, not just the crazy base. They do not want to be told what to do. They do not want to be forced into EVs, left holding the bag for unfettered illegal immigration, have the trans agenda forced on them, have kids be indoctrinated into trans in school, among others.

So, what’s the solution? Simple: Democrats need to get funny. Humor isn’t just for entertainment; it’s a weapon. It disarms opponents, builds connections, and makes people actually want to listen to you. John F. Kennedy had wit. Clinton was effortlessly cool. Obama had comedic timing so good he made roasting opponents look easy. If Democrats want to stop losing elections, they need to stop delivering lectures and start delivering punchlines.

Well, good luck with that. If Obama was so great then why did so few Democrats emulate him? Because they are humorless scolds with Authoritarian impulses.

We need to joke, laugh at ourselves, be mad as hell, and stand up when necessary. The voters need to feel like we are their friends again, not some group of dorks who look down on them. Because here’s the truth: people don’t just vote for the most intelligent, the most qualified, the most compassionate person in the room. They vote for the one they’d rather grab a beer with. And right now, that sure as hell isn’t us.
