Bummer: 8 Antifa Wackos Convicted Over Shooting At Immigration Detention Center

By William Teach March 14, 2026 – 7:00 am

The subhead for this NBC “News” article is a doozy, which is also repeated later in the screed

8 people convicted over shooting at a Texas immigration detention center
The trial was closely watched beyond the courtroom as some legal experts and critics called it a test of the lengths the government can go to punish protesters.

Huh what? They were involved in a criminal conspiracy. They were not protesting. They were violent. Is government NOT supposed to prosecute law breakers if they are friendly to The Cause of Democrats?

A federal jury on Friday convicted eight people on terrorism charges over a shooting at a Texas immigration facility that federal prosecutors tied to antifa, the far-left movement that has become a target of the Trump administration.

Jurors also handed down guilty verdicts on other charges, including attempted murder against one member of the group who prosecutors say opened fire last summer outside the Prairieland Detention Center near Dallas, wounding a police officer who was shot in the neck.

Sentencing was set for June.

Maybe they should have tried this in a state with friendly judges, because, this isn’t ending well for the nuts

FBI Director Kash Patel has called the Texas case the first time a material support to terrorism charge has targeted people accused of being antifa members.

Short for “anti-fascists,” antifa is not a single organization but rather an umbrella term for far-left-leaning militant groups that confront or resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists at demonstrations.

Wait, wait, did NBC just admit Antifa exists?

Prosecutor Shawn Smith told jurors during closing arguments that the group’s actions — including bringing firearms, first aid kids and wearing body armor — were all signals of the group’s intent. He said they practiced “antifa tactics,” and were “obsessed with operational security.”

“This was not a peaceful protest, this was a direct action,” Smith said.

Attorneys for the defendants have said there was no planned ambush and that protesters who brought firearms only did so for their own protection.

Protection from whom? Who was going to attack them randomly? Anyway, the jury said “you’re guilty!” Have fun in federal jail. I doubt it they’ll end up in a low or minimal penitentiary. There are 2 medium security in Texas. Or, will they get sent somewhere else that’s maximum? Which could be bad, since so many of these Antifa wackos are upper middle class to affluent class kiddies.

Let’s not forgot, for all the attempts to paint the Comrades as participating in free speech and protest, the same news outlet, and lefty wackos, cheered for the FBI to hunt down ever single person who peacefully wandered around the Capitol Bldg on J6, not hurting anyone, no violence, they were let in by security, and peacefully left.

St. Greta Is Upset Over Lack Of Oil In Cuba

By William Teach March 13, 2026 – 3:17 pm

Seriously, how did so many yutes get so broken? St. Greta went from a full blown Grand Poobah in the Cult of Climastrology to hating on Israel and Jews while supporting Islamic extremists and terrorists who would gladly slit her throat to no simping for Cuba

At this point is she being brainwashed or is she the one indoctrinating all the yutes who initially followed her Fridays For The Future climate bullshit?

Meanwhile, here’s the reliably batshit insane The Bulwark and Catherine Rampell

How Trump’s Iran War Could Actually Worsen Climate Change

TRUMP’S WAR OF CHOICE with Iran has many costs—in dollars, munitions, lives. But you could imagine at least one possible upside: climate.

This global oil crisis has again highlighted the riskiness of dependence on fossil fuels and the relative resilience of renewable energy. After all, naval blockades can stop oil tankers from traversing a narrow strait but they can’t keep the sun from shining or the wind from blowing.

And what of China deciding it will no longer dump solar panels and wind turbines on the market at below realistic prices? Or when the night comes, the wind doesn’t blow/blows too hard?

But, at least in the short term, it’s likely wrong. Instead, a sustained oil disruption could end up shattering the world’s attempts to curb climate change. That’s because it’s screwing up Europe’s ambitious climate plans, which are A) much more important than anything the United States is doing, and B) basically holding the global climate effort together.

LOL. Not long after this the rest is for “paid subscribers”, all 20 of them. Let’s not forget at all that the Trump deranged people who founded The Bulwark were all neocons and warhawks who loved nation building and spreading war for the sake of it.

Common Dreams has noted Bill’s BS, that he has advocated for attacking Iran for most of this century. As does Open. And Bill deleted every single tweet before 2025 that mentions Iran. But, hey, now Bill’s Bad Orange Man (they actually use the term) outlet is playing the climate doom card in respect to Iran get blown up.

NPR Seems Upset That Medicaid Data Shared With ICE Spreads Fear

By William Teach March 13, 2026 – 10:30 am

Why would any illegal be afraid when NPR and other Democrats tell us that illegal aliens are not getting Medicaid?

Medicaid can share data with ICE. Here’s how that 180-degree change spreads fear

For decades, people applying for Medicaid were told their personal information — including their names, addresses and immigration status — would not be used for immigration enforcement.

But a December court ruling changed that. And that change has sent ripples of fear through families and communities.

“My daughter’s life depends on Medicaid,” says P., who asked that NPR identify her by her first initial only.

P. and her family have legal immigration status, but she fears that the health insurance keeping her medically fragile daughter alive could also put her family at risk of being detained or deported by immigration authorities.

What’s the legal status? Might have been important to know. Also, would have been Journalism 101. Is it a legal status which would allow Medicaid? Or one which wouldn’t? If she has in-between maybe status like being a (fake) asylum seeker, well, the government should know where she is, right?

For decades Medicaid promised eligible immigrants they wouldn’t share information with immigration authorities. It was even explicitly written on government websites. Those commitments are no longer on the Medicaid website.

The promise was meant to assure eligible immigrants “to feel comfortable that they can access their care without fear of putting their immigration status into jeopardy,” says Cindy Mann, who oversaw Medicaid during the Obama administration and now works at the legal and consulting firm Manatt Health.

Mann calls the change, which the Trump administration began quietly last year, a “180-degree reversal of longstanding policy.”

Policy, not law. And the objective is to catch illegals who are not eligible.

Twenty-two states have sued to stop federal health agencies from sharing Medicaid data with the Department of Homeland Security, including Arizona, Michigan and New Jersey. At the moment, following the December ruling in federal court in San Francisco, Medicaid can share names, addresses and other identifying information for people who are in the country unlawfully with immigration officials. In the remaining 28 states including Texas, Kentucky and Utah, there are no limits on what Medicaid data can be shared with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other entities.

Really, ICE and other officials aren’t concerned with those who are eligible, but, those who aren’t. And want to create fear in the states who give Medicaid to the illegals who aren’t eligible. Fear with the government employees who are approving illegals to get Medicaid. Fear with the illegals who want to apply because the liberal states give them Medicaid but could now lead to Los Federales catching them.

Will New York Relent On Their Climate (scam) Goals As Energy Skyrockets?

By William Teach March 13, 2026 – 7:15 am

It’s bad enough that even PBS noticed

Are changes coming to New York’s climate law?

A recent state memo is creating a political tempest over New York’s ambitious climate change law.

The New York State Energy Development and Research Authority, or NYSERDA, estimates a speedy transition to non-carbon energy sources could hike upstate residents’ electric bills by thousands of dollars a year.

Republicans pointed to the memo as a sign of failed policy. Gov. Kathy Hochul wants to delay the law. Environmentalists see it as a huge setback in the fight against climate change.

It is a failed policy. But, the Elites do not care, because their lives aren’t really harmed. How many of the “environmentalists” actually live in NY? Hochul? She just wants to play games through the next election.

But now, Gov. Kathy Hochul said she wants to adjust that timeline, in the name of affordability.

“I’ve said for a long time, affordability is my number one priority,” she said. “We’re seeing now that people are reeling under the effects of policies that could not have been foreseen in 2019 when this was passed.”

Hochul blames the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions and the Trump Administration’s rollbacks of green energy subsidies.

Of course she blames Trump. Without massive subsidies “green” energy is expensive. Why doesn’t the NY state govt pay for those subsidies for their citizens?

Then, NYSERDA, an agency in her state government, released a memo in late February, forecasting that Upstate homeowners could see their heating bills rise by roughly $4,000 by 2031 if the law is implemented as is.

So, probably like $8000. Anyhow, the next part is f’ing hilarious

But environmentalists and experts say that is misleading.

“This calculation is based on nothing. It’s based on hypotheticals, right?” said Michael Hamersky, the executive director of the Pace Energy and Climate Center at Pace University’s Elizabeth Haub School of Law.

The whole climate scam is based on nothing. On hypotheticals. On computer models and crystal balls.

Weird: Celebs Who Hate Guns To Get Even More Security Against Iranian Drones

By William Teach March 13, 2026 – 7:00 am

I mean, having more security to protect against the Iranian drones which we’re told are fictitious wouldn’t really stop them, right? Also, haven’t most of these celebs advocated for banning guns, “common sense gun control”, taking them away from Americans? All while being protected by people with guns?

Security to Be Increased at 2026 Oscars Amid FBI Alert About Iran’s “Surprise Attack” Plan on California

Oscars producers have promised that they “want everybody to feel safe and protected” at the 2026 Academy Awards on Sunday amid reports of an FBI alert about Iran‘s plan to attack California with drones.

During a press conference on Wednesday, days before Hollywood’s biggest night at the Dolby Theatre, Oscars telecast executive producers Katy Mullan and Raj Kapoor said the ceremony will have increased security.

“We have the support of the FBI and the LAPD, and it’s a close collaboration,” Kapoor said. “This show has to run like clockwork. But we want everybody that is coming to this show, that is witnessing the show, that is even a fan of the show when they’re standing outside the barricades, we want everybody to feel safe and protected and welcome, so it’s our job as a producing team to make sure that that translates.” (snip)

While security will be increased at the Oscars again this year, security at the celebrity-filled awards show has always been robust in the past as well.

Well, I like to feel safe so I have multiple firearms. The celebs do not like that. But, then, they can afford private security. They get multiple levels of law enforcement to protect them. Many of them are, in fact, gun owners.

When contacted by The Hollywood Reporter, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department shared in part in a statement, “In light of current global events, the Department remains at an elevated level of readiness and is maintaining increased vigilance as we continue to protect our residents of Los Angeles County. We are working closely with our federal and local law enforcement partners to share intelligence and monitor the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and assess any potential impacts in our communities. The safety of the public remains our highest priority. As part of our preparedness efforts, we remain attentive to all potential threats, including lone-actor attacks, sleeper cells, and advanced technological or cyber-related threats.”

There is that, and we’ve already seen a bunch of Islamic extremist nutjobs attack. But, why would they attack the same people who are taking the side of Iran now, as they have taken the side of the Palestinians and Hamas? The same people who were mostly silent on the Iranian regime killing the Iranian protesters? The ones blasting Trump more than the murderous Iranian regime?

Your Fault: Hotcoldwetdry Slowing Earth At An “Unprecedented” Rate

By William Teach March 12, 2026 – 4:06 pm

All you had to do was stop eating meat and give your money and freedom to government to stop this

Climate change is slowing Earth’s spin at unprecedented rate compared to past 3.6 million years

Climate change is lengthening our days because rising sea levels slow Earth’s rotation. Researchers from the University of Vienna and ETH Zurich now show that the current increase in day length—1.33 milliseconds per century—is unprecedented in the past 3.6 million years. The team reconstructed ancient day-length fluctuations using the fossil remains of single-celled marine organisms known as benthic foraminifera.

An exact 24-hour day is not a given—day length changes due to gravitational effects of the moon, as well as various geophysical processes acting within Earth’s interior, at its surface, and in the atmosphere.

Today’s climate change also affects day length: prior work showed that from 2000 to 2020 our days were lengthened by a rate equivalent to 1.33 milliseconds per century due to climate-related factors, especially the continental-ocean mass redistribution due to the melting of polar ice sheets and mountain glaciers.

In a new study, appearing in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Mostafa Kiani Shahvandi (University of Vienna) and Benedikt Soja (ETH Zurich) demonstrate that this rapid rise in day length is unparalleled over the last 3.6 million years.

You know, I’m not even going to delve into the notion that they really do not have data, and zero comparisons to previous Holocene warm periods. We all know it’s simply being made up, that all their conclusions are pre-formed

To answer this question, the researchers used the fossilized remains of single-celled marine organisms known as benthic foraminifera.

“From the chemical composition of the foraminifera fossils, we can infer sea-level fluctuations and then mathematically derive the corresponding changes in day length,” says first author Kiani Shahvandi from the University of Vienna.

“Infer”. Good grief. And, I’m sure you were expecting this, right?

To draw more robust conclusions, the team employed a probabilistic deep learning algorithm—a physics-informed diffusion model.

“This model captures the physics of sea-level change, while remaining robust to the large uncertainties inherent in paleoclimate data,” adds the climate scientist and geophysicist.

It’s all so tiresome.

“Hard-Right” Jose Kast Sworn In As Chile’s President

By William Teach March 12, 2026 – 10:30 am

Yeah, perhaps there are more important issues, like big big things going boom in Iran and everything associated with the war, but, this is a very illuminating, and, at times, absurdly humorous, piece by the AFP

Hard-right Chile leader sworn in on promise of change

Chile’s most right-wing president in over three decades, Jose Antonio Kast, was sworn in Wednesday on a promise to tackle surging rates of violent crime and carry out mass migrant deportations.

Chile becomes the latest Latin American country to lurch to the right as voters back law-and-order candidates to fight the spread of organized crime.

“Things are going to change,” Kast told reporters minutes before taking the oath of office to succeed leftist Gabriel Boric.

Kast, 60, trounced Jeannette Jara, a communist from Boric’s coalition, in December’s run-off to clinch the presidency on his third attempt.

So, wait, it’s considered “hard-right” to want to reduce crime, to have law and order? Is that what the Lefties in the Credentialed Media are telling us? In fairness, Chile doesn’t really have bad crime, it is considered to be mostly safe for travelers, just stay out of certain areas. But, there has been a surge in lower level crimes, especially since the Venezuelans surged into Chile. Hence wanting to deport them.

He is Chile’s most hardline leader since the brutal 1973-1990 dictatorship of general Augusto Pinochet — whom Kast greatly admires.

The ultraconservative Catholic father of nine was sworn in before Congress in the central coastal city of Valparaiso, to cries of “long live Chile!” from right-wing lawmakers.

Got that? Someone who wants low levels of crime is basically a dictator. He also wants to (this comes from AI summery)

  • lower corporate taxes to stimulate investment.
  • Focuses on cutting public spending and reducing government bureaucracy.
  • Encourages private sector growth, including support for industries like aquaculture
  • Shifts focus towards stronger ties with the U.S. and Israel, with a potential withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council. (you can see how the Credentialed Media hates that)
  • Proposes merging ministries to reduce the size of the state

Yes, because all dictators in waiting want to *checks notes* reduce the size of government, streamline it.

Martina Vivar, a 20-year-old occupational therapy student, said she felt “rage” faced with the victory of Kast’s “campaign of fear and terror, just like during the dictatorship.”

LOL. “Just like.” She’s 20. What the f*** does she know? Most of these yutes know nothing about anything from prior to 2000. And why do so many of these yutes go immediately to violent feelings?

Chile’s new leader has promised to move fast to tamp down a rise in murders, kidnappings and extortion in what remains nonetheless one of Latin America’s safest countries.

He wants to give the police more firepower, deploy troops to crime hotspots and deport large numbers of undocumented migrants, whom many Chileans blame for violence.

His proposals have resonated in a country which takes pride in being a stable and orderly outlier on a continent throttled by organized crime.

So, obviously, Chileans are backing this, preferring to nip the crime in the bud now, rather than when cities are like Baltimore. But, you know, according to the media and leftists Kast will soon turn into a dictator, which they didn’t have a problem with when it was Maduro or Chavez before him.

Florida Senate Passes Bill Banning Net Zero At The Local Level

By William Teach March 12, 2026 – 7:15 am

I’m not sure how to feel about this: on one hand, let cities be stupid. On the other, States have primacy

Ban on local government ‘net-zero’ policies clears Legislature on final vote

The Florida Senate has voted final approval of an amended tax bill (HB 1217) to ban local governments in Florida from using net-zero policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions — the primary driver of climate change.

The vote was 24-12, with Miami Republican Alexis Alexis Calatayud joining all the Democrats in opposing the bill. The House had already approved the bill, which will head to the governor’s desk. If signed into law by DeSantis, it would go into effect on July 1.

Miami-Dade Republican Sen. Bryan Avila amended his tax bill (SB 7046) last week; it originally bundled together dozens of tax and policy changes.

That current language says government entities may not enact, enforce, or require any person or legal entity to enact or enforce any net zero policy by resolution, ordinance, rule, code, or policy. It would ban local governments from expending any funds (including taxes, fees, or assessments) that support, implement, or advance net-zero policies.

Personally, I would amend it to say that the only way to implement any part of a net zero policy is by the citizens of a town voting for it, at least 66%. Particularly since so often this crap is voted in by the city council, often over the objections of the citizens, who then have to work to get those council members out, and it’s still then a crapshoot if they can get rid of the policies.

Sen. Don Gaetz, R-Crestview, said there is nothing in the legislation to preclude local governments from purchasing buses that don’t use gasoline, or plant trees or reserve green spaces.

“I’m not going to debate climate change. I didn’t get elected to the Florida Senate to argue with a thermometer,” he said.

“This bill is about when you make a decision to do something in business, or in government, or in community, you don’t use just one driving force, regardless of all other consequences and all other variables. This bills says that net-zero policies should not be the one-trick pony in planning what you do in a community.”

Exactly. They simply cannot use Cult dogma to do everything, when there are better options. Anyhow, you can bet DeSantis will sign it.
