Liberal Heartache: ICE Will Start Being In Airports Starting Monday

By William Teach March 23, 2026 – 6:45 am

Well, that was quick. I wonder if there were already plans to do this in motion before Trump said anything

Trump border advisor says ICE to deploy to U.S. airports Monday

What began as a social media post from President Trump on Saturday has grown quickly into a full-scale plan to deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports.

Amid a partial government shutdown, TSA lines have grown to be hours long at some U.S. airports, creating problems for travelers across the country. Call-out rates have started to increase at some airports, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said at least 376 TSA agents have quit since the partial shutdown began Feb. 14.

White House border advisor Tom Homan said that ICE plans to dispatch agents to airports as soon as Monday, and that he was working with other officials to determine where to send agents.

“It’s a work in progress,” Homan said during a Sunday appearance on CNN. “But we will be at the airports tomorrow helping TSA move those lines along.”

Homan stressed that ICE agents would provide support where possible, so that TSA staffers could better fulfill specialized positions.

Basically, ICE agents will be doing things like guarding exits, roving patrols, and other non-specialized duties that allows TSA to do the specialized duties like x-ray machines, scanners, reading IDs in screening, and so forth. Many ICE and other immigration agents have already been working in airports. Anyhow, Democrats are not taking this well, as you’d imagine

Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.), ranking member of the Committee on Homeland Security, released a statement that read, “Masked, armed police at travel checkpoints is a hallmark of dystopian movies. Now, Donald Trump is threatening to bring this tool of fascism to America. He is manufacturing chaos at airports for political leverage and trying to force Democrats to accept unaccountable secret police at security checkpoints around the country.”

It’d be funny if ICE and any others simply wore TSA uniforms, or ones that said “Police”. If Bennie’s constituents weren’t unhinged, and violent, tools masks would not be a problem.

Also speaking to CNN on Sunday, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said, “The last thing that the American people need are for untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports all across the country, potentially to brutalize or, in some instances, kill them. We’ve already seen how ICE conducts itself.”

It’s great how Democrats paint all ICE agents with one broad, demonizing brush, eh? I wonder if it’s possible to sue for defamation? Perhaps Democrats could simply vote to fund DHS, instead of trying to protect illegal aliens and get rid of ICE, border security, and so forth. What happens if this works and airports get back to normal? What then? Expect all sorts of wacko Democrats to show up at the airports who aren’t taking flights and be a nuisance.

Happy Pollen Season!

By William Teach March 22, 2026 – 6:56 pm

Why don’t we have a national pollen month? I was talking to some new neighbors earlier, just moved down from New Hampshire. They wondered what was on fire. Yeah, no, that’s not smoke, that’s pollen. And it will continue for a while. Thought about washing the car, said, nah. What’s the point?

Anyhow, this is probably one the funniest replies I have seen today. Really didn’t expect that

Trump: Hey, Maybe I’ll Send ICE To Help Out TSA At Airports

By William Teach March 22, 2026 – 7:00 am

Every problem has a solution, and, if Democrats want to keep playing games in refusing to fund DHS because they hate ICE and all immigration enforcement, well, Trump and his people will find solutions they never considered doing in Washington

Trump threatens to send ICE to airports amid DHS standoff

President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to send federal immigration agents to airports across the country on Monday if Democrats don’t agree to end the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, now approaching five weeks.

“If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country,” he wrote.

“Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia” would be targeted with an especially firm hand, the president wrote on Truth Social.

“I look forward to moving ICE in on Monday, and have already told them to, ‘GET READY.’ NO MORE WAITING, NO MORE GAMES!” he wrote in a separate Truth Social post on Saturday.

Obviously, this has caused a massive meltdown with the Democrat part, because, Orange Man Bad, and, really, Trump will do this. I really wouldn’t be surprised if ICE and other immigration officials started showing up at airports by Wednesday.

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), the Senate Appropriations Committee vice chair, mocked the plan.

“Oh yeah, I’m sure the next thing the American people want after long lines at TSA is to get wrongfully detained, beat up, and harassed by ICE,” Murray wrote in a post on X. “No blank check for ICE. We need reform & accountability. In the meantime, how about you tell Republicans to just vote to pay TSA.”

I love how Patty has denigrated everyone who works for ICE, and thinks they give a crap about detaining Americans. They’d prefer not to, except, the Democrat base loves to interfere with law enforcement.

(NY Times) Mr. Trump wrote that the ICE agents staffing airports would also conduct aggressive immigration operations, in what would be an escalation of immigration enforcement tactics for an agency already under scrutiny for what critics in both parties say is a heavy-handed approach.

The president said that their duties would also include “the immediate arrest of all illegal immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia,” continuing his attack on a population he has disparaged in defense of his contentious immigration operation in Minnesota. Two U.S. citizens protesting the operations were killed by federal agents.

Of course, they really wouldn’t necessarily have time to bust illegals if they’re helping get people through TSA checkpoints or doing other TSA things. But, the very threat of ICE being there to illegals would keep them away from airports.

Oh, Noes, The US Likely Maybe Broke The March Heat Record

By William Teach March 21, 2026 – 2:48 pm

First, we haven’t gotten out of March. Second, you had the huge cold snap in March. Third, they were also blaming your for the February record cold and snow. Fourth, I though they said one area having weather is not ‘climate change’ and doesn’t matter in the grand scheme

The US broke the all-time heat record for March. Yes, it’s climate change

An unprecedented heat wave in the West broke the record for the hottest March temperature anywhere in the United States: 108 degrees. It’s an alarming signal of how hot the planet is getting and how fast it’s happening.

Yuma, Arizona, hit 109 degrees on Friday afternoon, which broke the national March record of 108 degrees set at Rio Grande City, Texas, in 1954 and 1902, according to a database of weather records from the National Weather Service and other networks.

The new record could be even hotter. The temperature near Martinez Lake, Arizona, hit 110 degrees on Thursday and 112 degrees on Friday, but it’s a temporary weather station that is not quality controlled, which calls into question its accuracy. The National Centers for Environment Information told CNN it does not validate or confirm monthly temperature records.

Wait, it was super hot in 1902?

An unusually strong and sprawling heat dome is the catalyst for the heat, but the magnitude is undoubtedly being worsened by planet-warming pollution. Heat waves are becoming more frequent, more severe and lasting longer as the world warms.

“Undoubtedly” = We’re guessing. Scaremongering.

Also

And if things are so bad then why

California OKs a lot of new freeway lanes during climate change-fueled heat wave

The California Transportation Commission approved billions in funding for car-centric projects this week during a record-breaking March heat wave in the state fueled by climate change.

Supporters of the decisions praised the commission for a taking “balanced” approach in the State Transportation Improvement Program and the State Highway Operation and Protection Program — awarding money to safety-enhancing and climate-friendly projects as well as highway projects. But transportation advocates lined up to protest their funding choices for not more urgently prioritizing road safety and climate change.

Huh.

CBS News: Hey, Voting ID Is Pretty Darned Popular

By William Teach March 21, 2026 – 10:30 am

Oh, I see, CBS News is trying to say that it’s not really that popular

In voting process, photo ID gets wide support, CBS News poll finds

Requiring photo ID to vote and proving citizenship to register both find wide and often bipartisan support.

But that doesn’t mean everyone sees problems with the current voting system.

It is often Republicans driving the percentages of those who think there is widespread fraud — and often think it’s specifically in cities and Democratic areas — but even then, it’s not an overwhelming majority of them.

Elsewhere, including among many Democrats, there’s concern that proof of citizenship requirements will prevent eligible citizens from voting.

And there’s still a local-first perspective on running elections: Most Americans would have their own states, rather than the federal government, have the final say in how elections are run.

See, it’s popular, but, not really popular popular. Except

If they’re getting 65% of Democrats to want ID to vote, well, obviously it’s mostly Republicans who want it.

The perceived implications of needing to prove citizenship are sharply partisan, though: Democrats are more inclined to say it’ll prevent US citizens from being able to vote, while more Republicans say that it will block non-citizens from doing so.

Yeah, Dems do not like requiring proof of citizenship, with 50% thinking it would block citizens from voting. I’d love to hear an explanation of that. Who do they think are citizens?

Mail voting — which, in many states, is a substantial or even entirely the way they vote — draws mixed views. Most Republicans feel it should only be available to those unable to physically vote.

Republicans also tend to feel mail balloting brings more fraud.

Personally, I’m of the opinion that mail in should only be used in certain situations, not widespread. Going to college in another state? Fine. Overseas? OK. Disabled? Sure (though, NC makes a lot of accommodations for people with disabilities to show up at the polling places). Yes, fraud, but, people should not be voting weeks, a month before the election. Lots of things can happen to change a vote. I do not like when early voting is more than a week out.

If that many people do not know the SAVE Act, that’s rather a big fail on the News Media. Also, there’s this wonderful thing called the Internet. People could take 10 minutes instead of cruising TikTok and doing stupid dance challenges, right?

There’s all sorts of questions trying to obfuscate 65/79/95 support for voter ID.

Surprise: We Need To Change The Governance Of Property Due To Global Boiling

By William Teach March 21, 2026 – 7:00 am

I wonder what that change could be

Rethinking the governance of property can help communities adapt to climate change

Climate change is bringing threats such as flooding, wildfires, extreme heat, and drought to communities across the United States and the world, endangering people, infrastructure, ecosystems, and properties. Unfortunately, our current systems of property and land governance—including land use, taxes, insurance, and zoning—often limit how well we can respond to those threats. These systems tend to treat land as a fixed set of parcels mainly meant to build wealth, which can lead to inequality and an inability to collectively adapt at scale.

While property and land governance systems in the U.S. have historically supported democracy and opportunity for some, they have also contributed to divisions and disadvantages for others. This way of managing land is fueling growing inequality, housing crises, and racial wealth gaps. And in the process, it’s also leaving many groups more vulnerable to climate risks. A 2021 Environmental Protection Agency report found that socially vulnerable populations—including racial minorities, low-income individuals, and people with less education—are far more vulnerable to climate change hazards such as flooding and extreme temperatures. And as research by Brookings and others has shown, rental housing, public housing, and manufactured housing—which are forms of housing and land tenure disproportionately used by low-income households—all face elevated vulnerability to climate impacts.

Planning for climate adaptation often ignores the fact that property is a social institution that can change; people assume current systems are fixed and unchangeable. But they’re not, and we can do better. Addressing climate challenges is not just about engineering or funding (though both are important topics). It also requires that we rethink and improve our property institutions and practices so they serve everyone better.

This is a very long piece. I wonder where they are going with it?

The combined effect is that it is difficult for communities to adapt to climate change in ways that advance affordable, resilient housing and ecological restoration at a meaningful scale. In the absence of collective adaptation, reliance on individual property-by-property adaptation can widen inequalities, both in “sending communities” from which people flee and in communities that receive displaced people. These practices may also contribute to climate gentrification, in which resilience investments reduce housing affordability and contribute to the displacement of current residents. Research suggests that climate gentrification is already underway in some cities, including Miami, Tampa, and other South Florida communities.

Really, what they are saying is that government should be in charge of all property, essentially being a national HOA, telling you what you can and cannot do. “Collective adaptation.” Modern Socialism. Property will really be in the hands of government. Surprise?

Phoenix Considers Banning Federal Immigration From City Property

By William Teach March 21, 2026 – 6:45 am

Maybe Phoenix should worry about all the illegal alien caused crime in the city. Maybe the uber-liberal city should have told Biden to calm down on allowing all the illegals in, which would have limited the federal enforcement from the Trump admin. Considered just telling ICE they caught an illegal breaking the law and they’re in jail and come get ’em

Phoenix Council to vote on barring immigration agents from city property without approval

The Phoenix City Council will vote next week on new framework to monitor and limit federal immigration enforcement activities.

The city council released the draft Community Transparency Initiative on Friday, nearly six weeks after initially directing staff to develop the plan.

The initiative, presented in a staff report for the March 25 council meeting, does several things to add a layer of local oversight to federal law enforcement:

  • Establishes a complaint portal for residents to report alleged crimes or civil rights violations by federal agents
  • Assigns additional police detectives to investigate such claims
  • Restricts use of city property for civil immigration enforcement operations

So, let me get this straight: the city would waste the time of police following up on claims involving illegal aliens, instead of crimes against American citizens? Criminals are going to love this. But, no complaining, Phoenix residents, you voted for this.

Then there’s this dipshit

Illegals are not New Jerseyans. Because they’re illegals. Dems are always more concerned with illegals than citizens.
