Axios: MAGA Seizes On Grisly Charlotte Murder

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

This is Axios’ takeaway

From the article

MAGA influencers are drawing repeated attention to violent attacks to elevate the issue of urban crime — and accuse mainstream media of under-covering shocking cases.

Shocking video of the fatal Aug. 22 knife attack on 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska on a light-rail car in Charlotte, North Carolina, dominated weekend conversation on Trump-friendly social media.

The big picture: The rising number of surveillance cameras in public spaces, including on Charlotte’s light rail, has become a big accelerant in these cases.

The video is easily shared or leaked, and can instantly pollinate across social media — a visual counterpoint to statistics showing crime decreases.

How dare people share the grisly video! MAGA people! Really, people of all political stripes were commenting, especially from the Charlotte area. This is Axios’ big picture, that a video can be shared. Not that a career criminal brutally murdered a young woman from Ukraine for no reason.

Axios goes on to mention that Trump will comment when he knows more, and a whole bunch of other Republicans tweeted about it.

Republicans PounceThe suspect, Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, was charged with first-degree murder. His criminal record includes charges of armed robbery, felony larceny, breaking and entering, and shoplifting, according to jail records cited by WBTV.

Mecklenburg County District Attorney Spencer Merriweather, in an interview with Axios Charlotte last week, didn’t comment directly on the case but acknowledged the limitations and complexities of holding defendants with mental health issues accountable.

The guy is 34 with a rap sheet that includes all that: why is he not in jail?

(NY Post) He even served five years in prison for armed robbery, only to be arrested for assaulting his sister just months after he was released in September 2020, the Daily Mail reported.

In NC, the maximum jail sentence is 17 years for armed robbery. He was surely out on release in 2020, and should have been sent back to the slammer. The dude was nuts and homeless, being kicked out of his house by his mom because of his violent tendencies. Make asylums great again.

Between the lines: Influential conservative social media accounts accused major national news outlets of not covering the racial dynamics of the Charlotte killing — a white victim and a Black suspect — with the same intensity as they did in the case of Daniel Penny.

Um, Axios’ only mention before their Republicans Pounce article was “Mecklenburg’s DA acknowledges criminal justice system gaps following light rail killing.” It’s barely being mentioned in the local Charlotte or Raleigh news. It was barely mentioned in the nation news.

What’s next: Trump won’t just discuss this case once, his team says. He’s going to keep highlighting crime because it’s important to him — and he believes it moves voters as the GOP tries to keep control of Congress in next year’s midterms.

“Crime is not a data thing — it’s a feeling thing,” the Trump adviser said. “Politicians don’t understand that it’s about how you feel when you walk on the subway platform.”

Crime is still mostly above the pre-pandemic level, and people feel it. They’ve seen it. Is it down? Many cities, like Seattle and Portland, have a much worse crime ranking now then at the start of COVID and BLM. They were both in the mid to upper 20s. Now they are 1 and 2 (100 is best). And the media wants to downplay what we see for their political purposes.

Nantucket To Hold Climate (scam) Conference At Fancy Yacht Club

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

This is a little story, but, why does it resonate so much that they’re holding a climate crisis at an expensive yacht club?

Island Climate Change Summit Taking Place On Wednesday

The third annual Nantucket Climate Change Summit is being held at the Great Harbor Yacht Club this Wednesday, headlined by a talk by Climate Central Chief Meteorologist Bernadette Woods Placky.

After two years focused entirely on the intersection of climate change and Nantucket, the Nantucket Conservation Foundation and the Linda Loring Nature Foundation are expanding the focus of their summit slightly by bringing in Placky, a meteorologist for the nonprofit climate change news outlet Climate Central.

“We don’t want to keep doing the same thing every year,” Nantucket Conservation Foundation Coastal Ecology Project Manager Jen Karberg told the Current. “We want to bring in new and elevated information.” (snip)

“We have space for the community to be there, to ask questions, to interact with each other. We want the community to start talking about what’s going on,” Karberg said. “If we’re getting together and talking, our chances of having positive adaptation go up.”

Karberg said the event is important in part because Nantucket is uniquely exposed to the effects of climate change. She hopes the event will help bring islanders together on the issue.

Nantucket doesn’t survive without fossil fuels. All the cars bringing vacationers, folks in their mansions, all those fishing and pleasure boats, the airport. The same leaders of Nantucket having been protest Vineyard Wind, and two other wind farm projects. I’m not really finding a true measure as to what it costs to join the yacht club, but, wow, does this look like uber-white liberal women or what? Ones who are happy to force you to do things they won’t do?

Trump Threatens Hamas To Release The Hostages

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

Is this a strongly worded memo “or else”, or a Qasem Soleimani type “or else”?

Trump delivers ultimatum to Hamas: Accept deal and release hostages or pay the consequences

President Donald Trump issued his “last warning” to Hamas to accept his deal and release the remaining hostages or face the consequences.

“Everyone wants the hostages HOME. Everyone wants this War to end,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “The Israelis have accepted my Terms. It is time for Hamas to accept as well.”

“I have warned Hamas about the consequences of not accepting,” he continued. “This is my last warning, there will not be another one! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

The thing with Trump is you never know what he will do, and that should concern Hamas

Report: Trump Proposes Last-Minute Hostage Deal; Passed by Witkoff via Civilian to Hamas

President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed a last-minute hostage deal that would see all of the remaining Israeli hostages released in exchange for ending the war in Gaza. Hamas has yet to accept it.

The proposal was conveyed to Hamas via civilian Gershom Baskin, a civilian and columnist whose interest in Israeli-Palestinian peace led him to develop contacts that, in turn, led to a deal for hostage Gilad Shalit in 2011.

That deal has since been widely criticized, since many prominent Hamas leaders were among the more than 1,000 convicted terrorists that Israel exchanged for Shalit — including October 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar.

Nevertheless, with a major Israeli offensive on Gaza City looming, and hundreds of thousands of protesters in the streets of Tel Aviv demonstrating for a deal, the Trump administration has decided to give it one more try.

We can always track any Palestinians releases and drone strike them. But, really, Hamas doesn’t want it to end. They care little for the Palestinians they use, often willingly, as human shields.

I’d say that the liberals’ reflexive ability to defend what Trump is against would lead them to support Hamas, but, they already do.

Durham, NC Looks To Provide “4th Amendment Protections” To Illegals

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

Weirdly, this is not showing up on any of the major local news stations

NC City Becomes a ‘Fourth Amendment Workplace’ amid ICE Crackdown

The city of Durham, North Carolina, is pushing back against the work of President Donald Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The Durham City Council on Tuesday unanimously passed a resolution to make the city a “Fourth Amendment Workplace,” the Chronicle reported Wednesday.

The article continued:

The Fourth Amendment protects citizens against arbitrary searches and arrests and serves as the basis of search warrants with a probable cause of crime. The resolution directs city staff to “uphold the 4th amendment at their workplace and city agencies and report back to Council any barriers to effective training on the 4th Amendment for any departments.”

The resolution says the city has “historically pursued equity and safety for all residents” and the trust of Durhamites is essential to the city carrying out its operations. It says the threat of “unconstitutional seizure” has prevented immigrants in Durham from “safely engaging in public life, including pursuing employment and education.”

Except, illegals are illegally present in the US, and law enforcement, particularly ICE and the Border Patrol, have every legal right to detain them pending deportation. There’s nothing arbitrary about it.

Also, the idiot Democrats who run Durham even say it when discussing the 4th: “citizens.” Illegals are not citizens. The uber-smart folks at the Duke Chronicle also mentioned the word “citizen.”

Oh, Durham has a violent and a property crime rate that are double that of North Carolina, and is a 3 (100 is best).

The Chronicle referred to an incident that happened in July when ICE agents detained an illegal alien charged with a felony at the Durham County Courthouse, which alerted citizens and officials to the fact that ICE agents were there.

The Durham Chronicle forgot to mention what it was

The following month, the outlet reported ICE arrested illegal aliens convicted of sex crimes, most against children, across the country. The article said, “Indeed, over the weekend, ICE agents arrested 45-year-old illegal alien Porfirio Bernal-Fregoso of Mexico in Durham County, North Carolina. Bernal-Fregoso has been convicted of attempted rape of a child and indecent liberties with a child.”

Do you Democrats really want to die on the hill of protecting this guy from Los Federales? If Durham does try and shield illegal every person involved should be charged.

Trump Signs EO Against State Sponsors Who Detain Americans Wrongfully

By William Teach September 6, 2025 – 10:30 am

Look, Trump and his people just got Democrats to start supporting a hardcore Venezuelan gang running drugs into the U.S. on boats. Now he’ll have them supporting nations which wrongfully hold Americans

Trump signs executive order creating ‘state sponsor of wrongful detention’ designation

US President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order creating a “state sponsor of wrongful detention” designation meant to penalize countries that wrongfully imprison Americans.

The new designation is meant to deter countries from illegally detaining US citizens and encourage them to release wrongful detainees that they have in custody. It will be up to the secretary of state to determine which countries will be given the designation.

“Through this Executive Order, actors designated as State Sponsors of Wrongful Detention may face severe penalties including economic sanctions, visa restrictions, foreign assistance restrictions, and travel restrictions for U.S. passport holders,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement Friday.

“The bottom line: Anyone who uses an American as a bargaining chip will pay the price,” he said.

The administration did not announce what countries might be designated as state sponsors of wrongful detention. Nations like Venezuela, Russia, Iran, China and Afghanistan all have a history of wrongfully detaining Americans.

America first!

This senior administration official said the executive order allows the administration access to the “toolbox” of punitive measures that are used against countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism.

“It’s a widening of the aperture against whom we can use those tools. You don’t have to be funding Hamas, Hezbollah or al-Qaeda, you can simply be trying to exploit our citizens wrongfully,” the official said.

Good. Do not mess with Americans.

Climate Crisis (scam) Makes Unexploded Bombs Worse Or Something

By William Teach September 6, 2025 – 7:15 am

The problem of unexploded ordnance is a big one, right? But, see, this is a cult, so, they have to glom on to every problem and subordinate it to the doomsday movement

How unexploded bombs cause environmental damage – and why climate change exacerbates the problem

There are a record number of conflicts raging around the world – from Ukraine and Gaza to Sudan and Myanmar. Alongside their devastating human toll, these conflicts are all wreaking havoc on the environment.

One of the key ways war leads to environmental harm is by leaving behind unexploded weaponry. Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, Ukraine has become the most landmine-contaminated country in the world. By January 2024, roughly 25,000 sq km of agricultural land there was estimated to have been contaminated with landmines and other so-called explosive remnants of war.

The contamination of Ukrainian farmland – alongside the physical damage from exploded mines – has contributed to a sharp decrease in agricultural activity, with wheat production in Ukraine falling by 41% between 2021 and the end of 2024. Ukraine has historically been one of the world’s largest agricultural exporters. (Note: I’ve left a ton of their links out in the excerpts)

I mean, OK, seems as if the ordnance is a bit of a danger to humans and wildlife, but, I guess you can kinda see an issue with the environment

The damage wars are causing to land is also occurring at a time when climate change is driving land degradation. Rising temperatures, increased aridity and the intensification of extreme weather events are leading to reduced soil fertility and desertification. This often compounds the impact of unexploded mines and bombs on the land.

That seems a stretch (but, then, that’s what they do)

Climate hazards such as droughts, floods and wildfires can exacerbate the impact of explosive remnants of war. Floods and heavy rainfall can unearth landmines and other unexploded ordnance, sometimes displacing them into areas previously considered safe.

You mean the weather?

High temperatures from heatwaves can also cause abandoned munitions to explode. Six different munition sites exploded across Iraq during scorching hot summers in 2018 and 2019, when temperatures regularly topped 45°C. Heatwaves were blamed for a similar arms dump explosion in Jordan in 2020.

Yup, weather. In a desert region.

At the same time, the presence of explosive remnants in the environment can hamper responses to climate events. In eastern Ukraine, for example, the heavy contamination of forests with landmines and tripwires prevented fire crews from responding effectively to wildfires in 2020. The fires damaged houses and killed seven people.

Wait, wildfires in a war-torn region? That’s ‘climate change’? Piss off. This kind of crap goes on for many more paragraphs, as written by doomsday cultists.
