Trump Threatens Chicago With Federal Crackdown On Crime

By William Teach August 23, 2025 – 7:00 am

You know, I’d actually just leave Chicago and the other Democrat run cities alone. Let their Dem voting citizens suffer under what they voted for

Trump says Chicago next up for federal crime crackdown

President Donald Trump said Friday that Chicago will be the next city that his administration targets for a federal crackdown on crime and suggested a longer and more intense campaign in the nation’s capital.

“We’ll straighten that one out, probably next, that will be our next one after this,” Trump said from the Oval Office. “I think Chicago will be our next and then we’ll help with New York.”

The president has credited his federal takeover of Washington, DC’s police force and deployment of the National Guard there with driving down crime in the city — touting a weeklong stretch without any murders as a “miracle” despite the fact that such weeks have occurred in DC multiple times so far this year.

He said he could keep National Guard members in the city “as long as I want” by declaring a national emergency, a prospect likely to unnerve city residents. More than 1,900 National Guard troops from multiple states — including DC, West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Ohio, Louisiana and Tennessee guards — have been mobilized in DC as of Thursday, according to Joint Task Force-DC.

Well, I’m not sure Trump would actually have the authority to do this, like he does with D.C. Plus, it would be a nightmare trying to crack down on the crime that the Dems in charge seem to love. It’s one hell of a bigger city than D.C.

Trump dismissed polling that showed most city residents disapprove of the deployment of federal troops, calling it “fake news” and claiming that residents of Chicago and cities are clamoring for a similar law enforcement crackdown where they live.

“They’re wearing red hats, African American ladies, beautiful ladies, are saying, ‘Please, President Trump, come to Chicago,’” Trump said.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said in a statement: “We take President Trump’s statements seriously, but to be clear the City has not received any formal communication from the Trump administration regarding additional federal law enforcement or military deployments to Chicago.” He said homicides, robberies and shootings have dropped significantly in the past year.

Is this just Trump being Trump? Should Chicago take this seriously? As far as shootings, well, all you have to do is look at the Chicago news. Dude was shot during an argument in a deli. Just like in D.C. you hear about roaming bands of youts committing lots of crime that doesn’t really get reported by the city.

Anyhow, it’s fun watching Trump drive the Democrats batguano insane.

Crazy Judge To Release MS-13 Illegal Alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia Till Trial

By William Teach August 22, 2025 – 3:56 pm

Think he might disappear back to El Salvador?

Kilmar Abrego Garcia released from criminal custody in Tennessee

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongly deported in March before being brought back to the U.S., has been released from criminal custody in Tennessee and is on his way to Maryland, an attorney for Abrego Garcia told ABC News.

The Salvadoran native has been in criminal custody since the federal government brought him back to the U.S. in June to face human smuggling charges.

Once he is is released, immigration authorities will not be allowed to detain Abrego Garcia due to a ruling from a federal judge who last month ordered the government to return him to Maryland and blocked the administration from deporting him upon his release in Tennessee. (snip)

He was brought back to the U.S. last month to face charges in Tennessee of allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the U.S. while he was living in Maryland. He has pleaded not guilty.

Well, ABC News, like so many, minimizes the human trafficking charges against him, and generally fail to mention he’s an accused MS-13 member/associate and wife beater. Oh, and that he is illegally present in the United States. Seriously, this is the guy who Democrats are defending. But, hey, now he gets to go to trial, and, if found guilty, will be sentenced to federal jail and won’t get to see his wife and child except once in a blue moon. He could have simply gone back to El Salvador and been free instead. Enjoy jail, scumbag.

Good Grief: Wacko Federal Judge Orders Alligator Alcatraz Closed Over No Environmental Review

By William Teach August 22, 2025 – 10:30 am

Is the judge saying that illegal aliens are bad for the environment?

Judge Orders That ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Detention Center Be Shut Down for Now

A federal judge on Thursday ordered that no more immigrant detainees be sent to a center in the Florida Everglades, and that much of the facility be dismantled. The ruling rebuked the state and federal governments for failing to consider potential environmental harms before building the facility, known as Alligator Alcatraz.

The judge gave both branches of the government 60 days to move out existing detainees and begin to remove fencing, lighting, power generators and other materials. The order also prohibits any new construction at the site.

Judge Kathleen M. Williams of the Federal District Court in Miami found that the state and federal governments had violated a federal law that requires an environmental review before any major federal construction project. Judge Williams partly granted a preliminary injunction sought by environmentalists and the Miccosukee Tribe, whose members live in the area. The detention center is surrounded by protected lands that form part of the sensitive Everglades ecological system.

The detention center presents risks to wetlands and to communities that depend on the Everglades for their water supply, including the Miccosukee, Judge Williams found.

“The project creates irreparable harm in the form of habitat loss and increased mortality to endangered species in the area,” she wrote.

They’re really just making stuff up at this point…well, the wacko leftist judges have been making it up since Trump took office (and when they lawfared Trump and his folks).

Her ruling is preliminary, as the case will continue to be litigated. The state is expected to ask that the ruling be stayed, or kept from taking effect, as it pursues its appeal.

Even before Judge Williams ruled, Mr. DeSantis had said he expected the ruling to go against his administration.

“It’s pretty clear we’re in front of a judge who is not going to give us a fair shake on this,” he said on Tuesday.

Liberals are celebrating this, but, you know the ruling will, yet again, be overturned on appeal. But, hey, perhaps DeSantis could build a new holding facility near where the judge lives.

Speaking of lawfare and rulings thrown out

Trump’s massive $500M civil fraud fine in AG Tish James’ case thrown out by NY appeals court

President Trump won a huge, symbolic victory Thursday when a New York appeals court threw out the more than $500 million fine he owed in Attorney General Letitia James’ business fraud case.

The Appellate Division, First Department, overturned the whopping $464 million judgment against Trump, 79, but upheld a finding that the real estate tycoon-turned-president engaged in fraud by exaggerating his net worth for decades.

“I had a victory today. You know, they stole $550 million from me with a fake case, and it was overturned,” Trump told dozens of law enforcement officers later Thursday during a visit related to his crime crackdown in Washington, DC.

But the case, stemming from a civil suit brought by James’ office, still remains in place and will now go to New York’s highest court as the legal battle between the state’s top lawyer and the commander in chief continues.

And you know the whole thing will be overturned.

Your Fault: Nights Are Warmer

By William Teach August 22, 2025 – 7:00 am

I told you to buy an EV and move into a tiny home, but, no, you want doom

No evening cooldown: Climate change is making even nights hotter in summer

Are you tossing and turning more at night? Does it feel like your air conditioner is straining harder and doing less to cool down your bedroom? Well, get ready for more muggy summer nights, not just this week, but for the rest of the century, experts say. That’s largely due to climate change.

Extreme heat was expected to blanket much of Southern California, Arizona and Nevada starting Wednesday through Friday night. That includes stifling nights with “lows” in the upper 80s to low 90s late Thursday and Friday in the Coachella and Imperial valleys and the San Gorgonio Pass, which will offer little relief from daytime highs of up to 115 degrees those days, per National Weather Service extreme heat warnings and alerts. (snip)

In the 1980s, Palm Springs had zero to two abnormally warm summer nights, but due to climate change, that has gradually gone up since then to 32 nights a year on average, according to calculations by Climate Central, a nonprofit that analyzes decades of federal weather data and models future trends. Some of that increase is also likely caused by area development that has added asphalt, concrete and other manmade surfaces that warm more than natural soils, also known as the “urban heat island” effect.

Most of that increase is, in fact, UHI and natural warming, as expected during a Holocene warm period, along with a tiny bit of anthropogenic non-UHI/land use effects. Where the people are feeling it the most is in cities. Go out in the desert and it will get cool. You also have the smog effect, whereby warmth is held at the lower level. Fortunately, we are still a 1st World and can do things with air conditioning.

And, really, it’s summer. You will have heat waves, which will make UHI feel worse.

Bummer: Appeals Court Allows Trump Admin To Deport TPS Holders

By William Teach August 22, 2025 – 6:45 am

It’s pretty wild that it takes a court to allow the duly elected POTUS to implement the lawful exercise of their power as authorized by the duly elected Congress

Appeals court allows DHS to end protected status for Nicaraguans, Hondurans and Nepalese residents

A federal appeals court late Wednesday sided with the Trump administration in lifting a stay that was blocking deportations of immigrants from Nicaragua, Honduras and Nepal as they continue to litigate the legality of the move.

The decision by a three-judge panel for the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturns a lower court decision that blocked the Trump administration’s plans to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for the three countries, saying the plaintiffs had shown there was sufficient racial animus behind the decision.

TPS bars deportation for its recipients, who come from countries the U.S. has deemed to be too impacted by natural disasters or civil unrest to facilitate returns.

The Trump administration celebrated the ruling, which will allow them to strip work permits from TPS holders and begin deportations as courts continue to weigh whether they followed the letter of the law in ending the status.

Some 51,000 Hondurans and nearly 3,000 Nicaraguans who have been in the country for roughly 25 years will need to leave the country by September, while the decision will also impact roughly 7,000 Nepalese citizens.

It’s temporary. Supposed to be temporary

“This is yet another huge legal victory for the Trump Administration, the rule of law, safety of the American public. Temporary Protected Status was always meant to be just that: Temporary,” the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement.

“TPS was never meant to be a de facto asylum system, yet that is how previous administrations have used it for decades while allowing hundreds of thousands of foreigners into the country without proper vetting. This unanimous decision will help restore integrity to our immigration system to keep our homeland and its people safe.”

Now, I wouldn’t mind if the admin took a look at these folks who were allowed to stay way, way, way too long per previous administrations. Do they speak and write English? Have they kept out of legal trouble? Are they self-sustaining, or, do they live off the government? Are they a drain on public systems or provide more? I think perhaps there could be some who we allow to go through the citizenship process, which would include paying all the money.

Do they want to be Americans? If not, they need to need ASAP.

Climate (cult) Scientists Shocked Artic Sea Ice Refusing To Cooperate With Coming Doom

By William Teach August 21, 2025 – 3:24 pm

Don’t you hate when Earth forces refuse to cooperate with talking points and computer models?

Dramatic slowdown in melting of Arctic sea ice surprises scientists

The melting of sea ice in the Arctic has slowed dramatically in the past 20 years, scientists have reported, with no statistically significant decline in its extent since 2005.

The finding is surprising, the researchers say, given that carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning have continued to rise and trap ever more heat over that time.

They said natural variations in ocean currents that limit ice melting had probably balanced out the continuing rise in global temperatures. However, they said this was only a temporary reprieve and melting was highly likely to start again at about double the long-term rate at some point in the next five to 10 years.

The findings do not mean Arctic sea ice is rebounding. Sea ice area in September, when it reaches its annual minimum, has halved since 1979, when satellite measurements began. The climate crisis remains “unequivocally real”, the scientists said, and the need for urgent action to avoid the worst impacts remains unchanged.

So, see, it could be nature that is “balancing” out what Evil Mankind is doing, but, it can’t be mostly/solely nature that was melting it in the first place.

But, this is just a temporary pause of coming doom.

The natural variation causing the slowdown is probably the multi-decadal fluctuations in currents in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, which change the amount of warmed water flowing into the Arctic. The Arctic is still expected to see ice-free conditions later in the century, harming people and wildlife in the region and boosting global heating by exposing the dark, heat-absorbing ocean.

See?

Dr Mark England, who led the study while at the University of Exeter, said: “It is surprising, when there is a current debate about whether global warming is accelerating, that we’re talking about a slowdown.

“The good news is that 10 to 15 years ago when sea ice loss was accelerating, some people were talking about an ice-free Arctic before 2020. But now the [natural] variability has switched to largely cancelling out sea ice loss. It has bought us a bit more time but it is a temporary reprieve – when it ends, it isn’t good news.”

So, they done f*** up with their prognostications back then, and now they’ve figured out a way to say “we weren’t wrong, just, nature messed us up. But, it’s still coming.”

Washington Post Seems Upset Over Liberal Cities Being Called Cesspools

By William Teach August 21, 2025 – 10:30 am

Where was the WP when GOP areas where called Flyover Nation, Jesusland, and Fuckistan? Also, has the WP looking at the crime rankings for Blue cities?

Trump, GOP portray cities as chaotic dystopias in need of occupation

When President Donald Trump declared his third presidential candidacy in 2022, he saved his most colorful language for America’s urban areas, bemoaning “the blood-soaked streets of our once-great cities” and adding that “the cities are rotting, and they are indeed cesspools of blood.”

Later in his campaign, Trump called Milwaukee “horrible” and described Washington, D.C., as a “rat-infested, graffiti-infested shithole.” More recently he said, “These cities, it’s like living in hell.”

Other Republicans have seized on similar dystopian urban images. When Vice President JD Vance visited New York several years ago, he compared the city to a zombie apocalypse, posting: “I have heard it’s violent and disgusting there. But is it like Walking Dead Season 1 or Season 4?”

As Trump ramps up the military presence in Washington — and hints that he may move to take over other cities — his crackdown punctuates a frequent Republican message that American cities embody chaos, lawlessness and immorality, despite widespread recent drops in violent crime. With cities increasingly liberal and rural stretches ever more conservative, Republicans have a growing incentive to attack urban areas as the epitome of all that is wrong with America.

Well, he’s not going to be taking over other cities: he doesn’t have the legal authority like with D.C. If the WP had any journalistic integrity they’d be showing how the streets are much calmer in D.C. That they aren’t seeing the roaming band of youths harassing people, committing crimes, and carjacking. The D.C. Police Department is able to really do their job with all the extra National Guard folks around, and know that the feds have their backs on arrests. They’re even instituting another youth curfew starting today, Thursday.

“He recognizes he has a wedge issue, and I’d argue not a bad one,” said Quinton Lucas, the Democratic mayor of Kansas City, Missouri. “The only defense mayors have usually is, ‘Yes we have crime, it’s less than before, but yes there are still homicides, there are still issues.’ I think he is trying to exploit that.”

But the rhetoric is untethered to reality, Lucas said: “They are looking to exploit issues for political gain, not to solve them.”

Well, he’s working on solving it in D.C. What are you liberals doing in your cities to solve it? KC, Mo, has a crime rate of 1. That’s pretty bad. Violent crime rate is approaching 4 times the national rate. You have a 1 in 68 chance of being a violent crime victim. A 1 in 20 chance of being a property crime victim

Brett Smiley, mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, said many of his fellow mayors are worried their town could be next. Most cities would eagerly accept federal help, he said, but it should come in consultation with local leaders, not imposed by force.

Providence won’t be. Neighborhood Scout ranks it a 17. But, what of Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, Boston, and many more? Well, that’s on you Democrats. What will you do? You have no one like a Rudy Guiliani, who turned crime around in NYC back in the day. And why are you making excuses? You do know everyone can actually see the crime, right?

Here’s the thing: if you liberals really cared about the high crime rates you’d be showing that it is working, instead of whining against crime reduction. Do you really want to die on the hill of being resistant to law and order? Most of the local news stations are ignoring the reduction in crime. You do not see them out and about, maybe embedding with the NG and DC police.

Military officers shifted to prosecute local D.C. crimes amid Trump takeover

As members of the National Guard deploy to the nation’s capital as part of the Trump administration’s takeover of policing in Washington, members of the military are also set to take on prosecutorial roles handling civilian crimes.

Twenty members of the Defense Department are set to begin working as special assistant U.S. attorneys — federal prosecutors — in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia next week, two people familiar with the matter told NBC News.

So, there won’t be any catch and release with a slap on the wrist, at worst, going on.

Yeah, well, as the liberals rage at the illegal being arrested they should have waited, because the illegal has been deported three times, and was arrested for child sex crimes last year. Yet, he was still allowed to walk around. Not in jail, not deported by the Biden admin. For some reason the charges were dropped by the Fairfax County prosecutor.

Doom Today: Antarctic Climate Shifts Could Lead To Super Doom

By William Teach August 21, 2025 – 7:15 am

The talking points went out

Abrupt Antarctic climate shifts could lead to “catastrophic consequences for generations,” experts warn

Abrupt and potentially irreversible changes in Antarctica driven by climate change could lift global oceans by meters and lead to “catastrophic consequences for generations,” scientists warned Wednesday.

More broadly, a state-of-knowledge review by a score of top experts revealed accelerating shifts across the region that are often both a cause and effect of global warming, according to a study published in Nature, a peer-reviewed international scientific journal.

You notice they always have to trot out “peer reviewed”? Like it means something when the same cultists review the documents

The study’s authors suggest that limiting CO2 emissions, and in turn preventing global warming from exceeding at least 1.5 degrees Celsius, “will be imperative” to reduce and prepare for the broad effects of abrupt Antarctic and Southern Ocean changes.

“Antarctica is showing worrying signs of rapid change across its ice, ocean and ecosystems,” lead author and Australian National University professor Nerilie Abram told the Agence France-Presse. “Some of these abrupt changes will be difficult to stop.” (snip)

Ultimately, the only way to slow down the interlocking changes is to stop adding more planet-warming gases into the atmosphere.

“The greenhouse gas emission decisions that we make over the coming decade or two will lock in how much ice we will lose and how quickly it will be lost,” Abram said.

In other words, they’re now moving this into a political paper, meaning government must force compliance.

There are plenty more, and none of them seem to consider being journalists and being skeptical of a doomsday cult prognosticating doom.
