ACLU Seems Upset More Law Enforcement Working With ICE

By William Teach March 31, 2026 – 6:45 am

Why wouldn’t they? Even in majority Democrat cities cops tend to be Republicans and are not thrilled with all the illegal aliens, especially the criminal ones

ACLU of Ohio finds more police departments and sheriffs are signing agreements with ICE

Contracts between Ohio police departments and sheriff’s offices with Immigration and Customs Enforcement have increased since President Donald Trump’s second term in office began.

An American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Ohio records request found 19 counties have agreements ranging from jail and transport services to what are called “287(g) agreements” that essentially deputize local police to enforce immigration law. In central Ohio, Delaware County has an agreement to jail and transport immigrants detained by ICE.

Jocelyn Rosnick with the ACLU said that before 2025, there were only two Ohio counties with these kind of agreements.

“I think there is a real fear that the expansion will continue. I think that we have seen from the administration that there is an environment of pressure to enter into these contracts and agreements,” Rosnick said.

Some counties don’t have these formal agreements, but still work with ICE on some level. The Columbus Dispatch reported the Franklin County Sheriff, through its jail, cooperates with ICE by alerting the agency if an undocumented immigrant is detained even if a criminal case is dismissed or bond is posted.

Here’s the thing: if more cop shops cooperated with ICE they could be handing over the really bad illegals while somewhat protecting the normal illegals. ICE would be happy to get the bad ones, and the liberal politicians would be happy that the standard illegals who got busted for speeding or something low are not getting deported. But, no, the liberals want to protect all, including the murderers, rapists, child predators, etc., which means ICE is going to end up picking them all up when they get word of them.

Oh, and it pays well to work with ICE

Rosnick said there’s also a financial incentive the Trump administration is using to get more counties to comply. She said millions in federal tax dollars flow to these counties.

“If every single jail bed, every single day of the year that was available to ICE, was filled, the financial gain, the money coming in to those locales would be over $54 million in total. That’s a lot of money,” Rosnick said.

And local and county cops get very bad people out of their communities.

Doomsday Cult Now Linking Growing Cancer Rates To ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach March 30, 2026 – 3:00 pm

They really have no proof of this, but, what they’re doing is linking the climate scam to other factors

Vandana Mahajan Urges Action on the Link Between Climate Change and Rising Cancer Cases

Vandana Mahajan, Palliative Care Counselor, Cancer Counselor, Patient Advocate, and Cancer Survivor, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Cancer cases are rising at an alarming rate worldwide. While only 5-10% of cancers are genetic, the vast majority are linked to environmental and lifestyle factors-tobacco use, alcohol, carcinogen exposure, and more. Yet, there are still many cases with no clear cause.

An increasing body of evidence from global oncology experts is pointing toward a critical and under-recognized factor: climate change and environmental pollution. These are not distant threats-they are already impacting human health and contributing to cancer risk across populations.

Despite this, the urgency of this crisis is not being adequately addressed at a global level.

As a patient advocate in cancer care, I find this deeply concerning. The future demands action-coordinated, evidence-based, and urgent.

We need a global task force that brings together oncologists, physicians, researchers, policymakers, and civil society. Strong data must drive strong policy. Governments must recognize and act on the link between environmental change and cancer.

There’s not one shred of proof in the article that anthropogenic climate change, or even natural global warming, is having any affect on this, nor can any article I looked for provide any factual causation. Now, environmental factors, otherwise known as pollutants? Yes. This is proven. But, it’s like they MUST throw in ‘climate change’. Their cult requires it. A 1.7F increase in global temps since 1850 has nothing to do with anything. I wish they would stop adding Hotcoldwetdry into everything, because something like rising cancers certainly is a concern.

UK Guardian: The Kiddies Are Now Watching Videos While Driving

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

It’s not new, but, is this starting to happen a lot?

‘Kids say they take a quick look at TikTok’: a new kind of distracted driving is on the rise

Jackie was on her way to a doctor’s appointment last fall when she realized her Uber driver’s eyes were not fully on the road. “He had a video playing on his phone and was intermittently looking at it,” she said. Jackie, who is 32 and lives in New Jersey, could not tell exactly what the driver was watching, but she remembers seeing shots of people talking – she guessed it was a video podcast. “I was definitely feeling a lot of dread and distress.”

As they continued on their 40-minute drive down the New Jersey Turnpike – a hectic highway that is not easy driving – Jackie considered saying something. But she felt vulnerable as a rider. “I was alone in a car with someone who was already doing something I found shocking and reckless,” she said. “I didn’t know how they were going to react.”

Jackie, a publicist who asked that her last name be withheld for privacy reasons, made it to her appointment safely, but the experience rattled her. And it happened again just hours later.

Since cellphones became ubiquitous, drivers have been texting behind the wheel, leading to awareness about “distracted driving”. Slogans such as “It can wait” or “Arrive alive, don’t text and drive” are blazed on highway billboards across the country, and 49 states and Washington DC have instated laws against it. (Montana is the one holdout.) But experts – and plenty of drivers, passengers and pedestrians – have clocked a new culprit: people watching videos, such as YouTube or TikTok, while driving.

Look, it’s not just the yutes, certainly older folks do it, but, it is mostly the younger Millennials and the Gen Z who are the problem. When companies required everyone to come back to the office the roads suddenly became a mess in 2022 in spots that had never been a problem. I cannot take 540 if I have to be at work by 830 anymore. If you’re at a stop light you can expect that one of them will be slow to go, and, when they do go, they barely touch the gas pedal, driving like grandma in a TV commercial or movie.

They’re texting, they’re talking while holding the phone in their hand on speakerphone (like their car doesn’t have Bluetooth. Heck, they might be holding it while talking on BT), they have it on a holder while talking on video, they’re making videos, and, now, apparently, watching more and more videos. I have a theory: it’s not just all that stuff, it’s that they have a very short attention span. They cannot keep their eyes off their phones for long. They constantly have to peek at it. Hold it. Their eyes aren’t staying on the road.

I mentioned that the 2026 CRV Hybrid does not have a screen you can watch to see the instant fuel economy screen, where you can see if you are doing good with MPG. People in hybrids and EVs kinda obsess over this. You’re constantly peeking at it. But, most of the older folks who can afford them are good drivers, confident. They do not keep their eyes on the screen, it’s almost like looking around to see what is happening to watch out for trouble on the road. The kiddies are not. The road is almost secondary in their minds. The phone is first. It’s precious. They cannot just be satisfied with Apple Carplay/Android Auto, no, the whole phone.

“People are engaging more and more with their phones [while driving],” said Charlie Klauer, a research scientist and associate professor at Virginia Tech who studies the effects of driving while distracted or fatigued. “The progression has gone from texting to browsing and looking and watching, which we now see a lot of. It’s Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and a wide range of things.”

New drivers, which the NHTSA categorizes as between the ages of 15 and 20, made up the largest proportion of drivers who were distracted at the time of a fatal car crash. Klauer says she sees distracted driving “across the board” in her research, but “it’s through the early to mid-20s that we see very high prevalence of this type of behavior.”

I’ll disagree, and say it’s up to around the late 20’s, from what I see on the road. Maybe there needs to be a law about no phone holders on the dashboard/hanging from the windshield? No holder where they can see the screen upright. Many states do have laws about not being allowed to hold the phone (have you heard about the girl pulled over for holding her phone in her right hand? She doesn’t have a right hand. I think there was some sort of shenanigans). Phones for a lot of people are full on addictions, like opioids. How do we stop this?

Did Anyone Realize Saturday Was Earth Hour?

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

Look, I’m pretty hip to things going on with the doomsday cult. I can’t see everything, but, Earth Hour is not something small or obscure. And yet it wasn’t showing up in the Credentialed Media on Saturday or earlier, nothing on Twitter, unlike years past. 10 years ago this idiotic worthless gesture would have been big news for days

Buckingham Palace goes dark for a special cause close to King Charles’ heart

Buckingham Palace went completely dark overnight for the milestone anniversary of a cause that has long been close to King Charles’ heart. The royal has dedicated much of his life to campaigning for the environment and being an advocate for climate action, which he put into practice on Saturday with a surprise 60-minute blackout at the palace for the global ‘Earth Hour’.

For 20 years, major landmarks and cities all around the world have shut off their lights for one hour in March to raise awareness for climate change. The World Wildlife Fund-organised movement first launched in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, and has since grown to include major buildings and landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.

A video posted by Instagram account @about.london showed the palace was shrouded in darkness on 28 March from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm GMT to, as WWF described, “stand up for our planet alongside millions around the world”.

I’m pretty sure everyone is aware of ‘climate change’, but, fewer and fewer really care. Especially when you have Charles doing this after having used a massive amount of fossil fuels over the years, and his kids running around the world using a ton

Earth Hour: Monuments to go dark as 20th edition kicks off

The lights went out at landmarks across New Zealand on Saturday as the 20th edition of Earth Hour kicked off.

Earth Hour, which originated in Australia in 2006, encourages nations to turn off their lights for an hour in the evening to draw attention to climate change.

This includes everything from private homes, to restaurants and bars, to major world landmarks.

Among the first monuments to go dark at 8:30 p.m. local time were the Sky Tower in Auckland and New Zealand’s parliament building in Wellington.

And how’s that working out? Warmists turn the lights out for an hour, then go right back to their big energy ways. Warmists are not practicing what they preach. Maybe it’s time to ditch their foolishness, which highlights that Warmists can only do it for an hour a year.

“Currently, the climate crisis is repeatedly pushed into the background in light of the many global challenges. However, it doesn’t disappear. On the contrary, it exacerbates many of these crises,” said WWF Germany’s head of climate Viviane Raddatz.

“With Earth Hour, we are bringing climate action back into the public spotlight. We are making it visible. People care about this issue and it belongs at the very top of the political agenda,” she added.

Except, most people had no idea it was Saturday, because it wasn’t being covered. I suspect a lot of people were surprised, and maybe a bit concerned, when the lights went out at monuments and such around the world.

Weird: ACLU Lawyer To Essentially Argue Trump Is Right On Birthright Citizenship

By William Teach March 30, 2026 – 6:45 am

And, because the Washington Post no longer does actual Journalism, they fail to see where the mistakes are being made in their Narrative

Daughter of immigrants brings history to bear in fight for birthright citizenship

American Civil Liberties Union Legal Director Cecillia Wang has filed lawsuits challenging racial profiling, illegal arrests and mandatory detention for undocumented immigrants. But when she appears before the Supreme Court on Wednesday, she will be arguing against the Trump administration over a question that is fundamental not only to the nation but also to her own family.

Who deserves to be an American?

Wang, 55, was born in Oregon, three years after her parents emigrated legally from Taiwan as graduate students, making her a U.S. citizen by birth even though they were not naturalized at the time. She credits changes in federal immigration law in the 1960s that eliminated national origin quotas on Chinese immigrants for providing her family a path to succeed.

That path has animated her work over two decades at the ACLU, where she oversees a legal staff of more than 200, and this week it will help inform her arguments against President Donald Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants and foreign visitors — including international students, like her parents. Opponents of the president’s order say it could deny citizenship to an estimated 250,000 newborns per year.

Getting beyond that she’s fighting for people who are not US citizens instead of protecting the rights of actual US citizens, dragging her story into the mix highlights exactly the point of the 14th. Let’s see the relative part of Section 1, the first sentence

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

Her parents were here legally looking for citizenship: that made them subject to the jurisdiction thereof, hence, she would be a citizen. Those who wrote the 14th specifically said that foreign nationals were not covered.

In the government’s Supreme Court brief, U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued that Congress in 1866 did not intend for the amendment to cover the children of immigrants who are not lawfully, and permanently, present in the country. Rather, he wrote, it was strictly aimed to protect freed enslaved persons and their descendants.

And that was the point. Why else pass this right after the Civil War?

However, like I’ve noted, does Trump have the authority to enforce and EO on this? I can seriously see the Supreme Court saying “no, the President doesn’t have that authority, however, he doesn’t need that authority. Without any legislation from Congress, the intent of the 14th and the clear language is that the children born to foreign nationals on American property are not US citizens, regardless of whether they are foreign diplomatic/government personnel or someone here on a visitor, student, or tech visa. Or illegal aliens.”

Time will tell. Democrats want the children of illegals and fake asylum seekers to be citizens so they can vote (Democrat) in the future. And since the kids would be citizens we should just give the parents citizenship and voting rights, right? That’s their thought.

LOL: No Kings Protest Hits 3rd Time

By William Teach March 29, 2026 – 7:00 am

I got a few photos from the Raleigh one on north Capital Blvd, but, they are from far away. The Raleigh N&O was on a roll, though

As far as I could see at the time of writing they had pulled down the bottom photo. Oh, and, didn’t the Nazis kill all those Jews, the same ones the Democrats hate? Of course, the NY Times was loving the 3rd No Kings moonbattery

In the Twin Cities, thousands of people converged on the State Capitol, invoking the memories of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Hundreds swarmed intersections around Portland, Ore., motivated by what one protester called a “national crisis” that has “escalated to a whole other level.” In Little Rock, Ark., where more than 2,000 people marched across the Arkansas River, one woman carried her own MAGA sign: “Morons Are Governing America.”

Protesters filled streets and town squares across the United States on Saturday at thousands of rallies, the third in a sequence of nationwide, loosely coordinated demonstrations under the banner of “No Kings.” They came to denounce President Trump and much of his second-term agenda, wielding signs and chants about issues including mass deportation, restrictions on voting, attacks on diversity and two matters that have suddenly moved to the fore: the war in Iran and the soaring gas prices that have resulted.

“Prices are going up, and it feels like we can’t even afford to live anymore,” said John Moes, a resident of Minneapolis who was dressed in a 15-foot puppetlike costume resembling the singer Prince, a local icon.

So, really, just all the same old same old whines. I saw signs supporting Hamas, er, Palestinians, no blood for oil, one moron had a sign that said “rock and roll never dies”, forgetting that most of the yutes do not even know Neil Young’s music, and that the Islamists would ban rock. None of of them could actually say just how Trump is acting like a king

Imagine the irony of writing “‘No Kings’ rallies held”, yet, not being arrested for doing it a 3rd time. Really, the whole thing is pure TDS. All of them defended the much higher gas prices under Biden and how he was trying to drag the US into WWIII with Ukraine and Russia. And, let’s be honest, the vast majority of the people in attendance were over 50, and a lot were easily over 60. Just like the rest of the No Kings. For which no one was arrested. And no one tried to stop them. The few cops at the Capital Blvd whinefest were there to keep the dumbasses out of the road.

And you actually do get visits from the police, arrested, prosecuted, and jailed for Wrongthink in the Islamic Republic of Britannia.

Huh: Methane “Widely Underestimated” For Climate Doom Or Something

By William Teach March 28, 2026 – 3:24 pm

Has it been? How so?

This potent greenhouse gas has been ‘widely’ underestimated, study finds

climate cowParts of the U.S. may be emitting much more of one of the most potent greenhouse gases than previously thought, according to new research.

Satellite observations suggest that methane emissions in urban areas may be “widely underestimated” – up to 80% higher than noted in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory, an annual report that accounts for total greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sinks for all man-made sources in the U.S., according to a paper published Wednesday in Science.

Researchers analyzed satellite images taken by the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) on the Sentinel-5P satellite and found that emissions from 12 major urban areas – New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, Miami, Houston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Boston, Detroit and Cincinnati – were emitting up to 80% more methane than reported by the EPA, according to the study.

The finding suggests that urban sources of methane, such as landfills and natural gas infrastructure, play a larger role in near-term climate warming than previously realized, Xiaolin Wang, a postdoctoral researcher in atmospheric science at Harvard University and lead author of the paper, told ABC News. (snip)

Urban areas have complex, population-driven methane sources, including landfills, natural gas distribution systems, wastewater treatment plants and residential combustion, Wang said.

So, basically, urban areas which are dominated by Democrats who make up the vast amount of Warmists are horrible people who want to destroy the planet, burn it to a cinder? Huh. How about that!

Really, though, we’ve know about the problem with methane, especially as it relates to agriculture and landfills, for quite some time. This was a big focus of early IPCC reports, but, no one wanted to focus on it because 1) people will make lots of fart jokes and 2) unlike CO2, it couldn’t be fearmongered in a way to take away money, freedom, and life choices from people by The Government. You can’t force citizens to give up their fossil fuels and ride the bus over methane. Yammer about methane and people worry about being able to eat, hence why only the cultiest of culters talk about taking on the agriculture sector.

Meanwhile, climamoonbats
