Trump Admin Deports Eight Scumbags To South Sudan, Fines Another $1.8 Million

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

I doubt the Trump admin will send that many more to South Sudan, but, not because a squishy judge said don’t do this

Trump admin sends 8 ‘barbaric’ illegal migrants to South Sudan — even though only one is from there in shock decision

The Trump administration said it has deported at least eight violent illegal migrants to one of the poorest nations on Earth — with their crimes being so “monstrous and barbaric” that no other country apparently would take them, a Trump administration official told The Post Wednesday.

The migrants were put on a flight to South Sudan — a violence-plagued African country — over the objections of a federal judge.

South Sudanese officials have also objected to the flight.

Of the eight felons, only one is a native of South Sudan. The others are from Cuba, Laos, Mexico, Myanmar and Vietnam.

“We conducted a deportation flight from Texas to remove some of the most barbaric, violent individuals illegally in the United States,” Homeland Security said in an X post announcing the latest migrant removals.

Murderers, child abusers, one sexually assaulted a disabled lady. South Sudan says they haven’t landed yet, and would be deported to their home countries. Will the Trump admin send more?

Trump administration fined this low-income migrant $1.8 million

Wendy Ortiz was surprised to find out she was being fined by U.S. immigration authorities for being in the country illegally – but it was the amount that truly shocked her: $1.8 million.

Ortiz, 32, who earns $13 an hour in her job at a meatpacking plant in Pennsylvania, has lived in the United States for a decade, after fleeing El Salvador to escape a violent ex-partner and gang threats, she said in an interview and in immigration paperwork. Her salary barely covers rent and expenses for her autistic 6-year-old U.S.-citizen son.

“It’s not fair,” she said. “Where is someone going to find that much money?”

In the last few weeks, U.S. President Donald Trump has started to operationalize a plan to fine migrants who fail to leave the U.S. after a final deportation order, issuing notices to 4,500 migrants with penalties totaling more than $500 million, a senior Trump official said, requesting anonymity to share internal figures.

Reuters spoke with eight immigration lawyers around the country who said their clients had been fined from several thousand dollars to just over $1.8 million.

In other words, she’s living on the public dole, and has a final deportation order, as do others. And she doesn’t get to whine about fair. She’s been here illegally

The Trump administration plan, details of which were first reported by Reuters in April, include levying fines of $998 per day for migrants who failed to leave the U.S. after a deportation order.

The administration planned to issue fines retroactively for up to five years, Reuters reported. Under that framework, the maximum would be $1.8 million. The government would then consider seizing the property of immigrants who could not pay.

This is all based on a 1996 law which enacted this. But, do Los Federales actually expect to get the money? Surely not. This is an incentive for illegals to leave. They do not have to go to their home countries: they can go elsewhere. Go to Canada.

Both of these are meant to get illegals to self deport.

Rich Daughter Of Rich Jennifer Garner Decries Fellow Rich Folks On Global Boiling

By William Teach May 21, 2025 – 3:55 pm

Jennifer Garner is reportedly worth around $80 million. Dad Ben Affleck is worth about $150 million. It costs about $90K a year to go to Yale, and I bet their daughter isn’t paying a cent

Jennifer Garner’s daughter blasts the wealthy after L.A. fires
In a college essay, the 19-year-old daughter of Garner and Ben Affleck despaired of the ignorance about climate change.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck better not be traveling on carbon-emitting private jets, and the ex-spouses might want to re-think their need to live in massively-sized houses, because their oldest daughter, Violet Affleck, has fashioned herself into a climate justice warrior who has published an essay calling out the environmental harm caused by the privileged lifestyle in which she was raised.

Does Violet fly home to California on a jet, or take Amtrak cross country?

The 19-year-old Yale University student writes about the devastating Los Angeles fires in January, which forced her mother and two younger siblings to evacuate from their Pacific Palisades home. The essay, published in an undergraduate campus publication, opens with Violet Affleck describing how she was holed up in a hotel, arguing with her mother about the causes and “the scale of the destruction.”

“She was shell-shocked, astonished at the scale of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised myself and my siblings,” Violet Affleck writes in The Yale Global Health Review. “I was surprised at her surprise: As a lifelong Angelena and climate-literate member of generation Z, my question had not been whether the Palisades would burn but when.”

I sorta remember being 19 and think I knew everything. Of course, my folks were middle class, so, I didn’t quite have the luxury of worrying about complete bullshit.

“As I chatted with adults in the hotel where we’d gone to escape the smoke, though, I found my position to be an uncommon one: people spoke of how long rebuilding would take, how much it would cost, and how tragically odd the whole situation had been,” she wrote. She said they blamed the crisis on “bad luck,” while her younger brother, Samuel, couldn’t understand what global warming had to do with the hurricane-force winds and dry topography that fueled the flames after the Palisades Fire broke out in the Santa Monica Mountains on Jan. 7.

Apparently, Violet doesn’t understand the topography, geography, and historical climate of the area, to which Mankind added highly flammable buildings, poorly maintained powerlines, and an inability to clear dry brush.

Yes, this daughter of rich and famous movie stars is turning the mirror on her own privileged upbringing. It has been established that wealthy people have a higher carbon footprint than everyone else. The world’s wealthiest 10% are responsible for two thirds of observed global warming since 1990, and for the resulting increases in climate extremes such as heatwaves and droughts, according to a 2005 study in Nature Climate Change.

It’s easy for her to say/write, but, is she willing to give up her own privileged lifestyle? We all know the answer is “no”.

As for addressing climate change, Violet Affect explains that it can’t be reversed but that it can be slowed and that people should do what they can to nudge environmental trends in that direction. “Adopting a pacing strategy towards the climate crisis then means not only celebrating every potential catastrophe we avoid but also embracing the ways in which each one could have been worse,” she said. She also said that, as “COVID-conscious” people and disabled people “celebrate each chain of transmission broken,” climate scientists can recognize that “each degree of warming we avoid will be a victory.” she also said.

Well, she has the whole Victimhood down. But, she won’t practice what she preaches. That’s for the little people. This is completely symptomatic of the rich who have nothing bad in their lives.

Washington Post Editorial Board Says The People Should Have Been Informed About Biden’s Health Issues

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

The one year anniversary of the Biden-Trump debate that destroyed Biden’s 2nd term aspirations will be June 27th, and featured one of the most devastating lines ever in a presidential debate: “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence, I don’t think he knows what he said either.” And the Washington Post EB is now on the case, after the cancer diagnosis

Was Biden too frail for the job? Voters should have been informed.

Former president Joe Biden’s announcement that he has an aggressive form of prostate cancer is a sad reminder that none of us, even the mightiest, is immune to the illnesses that arrive with age. Americans rightly wish for him a successful treatment.

The timing of this news is particularly difficult, coming just as CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios journalist Alex Thompson release “Original Sin,” their chronicle of Biden’s cognitive decline. They describe how his mental slips accumulated during his presidency, leading to his disastrous performance last June at a debate with Donald Trump, and his subsequent exit from the presidential race.

Biden is owed respect for his decades of public service. But the office he held must be respected, too, and this is why, despite his latest malady, the public conversation must continue about his — and all other presidents’ — fitness for office.

The U.S. presidency is the biggest, most taxing job there is, demanding an almost superhuman level of basic intelligence, clear thinking and wisdom. In addition to managing a policy agenda, negotiating with foreign leaders, making legislative deals and representing the nation at home and abroad, the president also must be prepared to handle an unexpected crisis at any hour of the day or night.

Quite frankly, I’m less concerned about his cancer diagnosis in regards to doing the job than his mental issues, which we all saw during the 2020 general election. And we all saw getting worse. Perhaps if the Washington Post news division did their job and demanded answers we could have gotten answers. There’s also a chance that Biden has had the prostate cancer for a while now, and that the medication and treatment made his dementia even worse. The guy who was leading the world into WWIII

It now seems that, for a considerable time, Biden might have lacked the stamina and cognitive capacity the job demands — and that his family and closest aides concealed this from the public. Their apparent decision to put personal loyalties ahead of their duty to the country must be reckoned with. A legal mechanism should be considered to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.

If only there were people who could investigate, people mentioned specifically by the 1st Amendment so that the government could not retaliate for investigating and exposing the government.

The people closest to Biden could hardly have avoided observing his infirmity — indeed, the actions they took to hide it indicate that they knew all too well. Early issues surfaced in the 2020 campaign, when he had memory lapses, including forgetting the name of one of his closest advisers and the opening lines to the Declaration of Independence. A Democrat interviewed by Tapper and Thompson who was involved in making Zoom videos of Biden speaking to constituents during the pandemic lockdown said that, after watching hours of mostly unusable footage, they concluded he was incapable of doing the job.

And, yet, none of those in the media or the Dem party exposed this at the time. They sat on it. Anyhow, this goes on and on for a bit (you can pull it from the paywall at Archive), ending with

In a democracy, the voters, when selecting a commander in chief, need to be discerning, to elevate candidates who have the stamina and the smarts to serve. Four years later, they can assess that person’s ability to take on another term. If problems arise between elections, then White House officials and Congress must be counted on to responsibly act.

Is the WPEB going to sit there and say reporters didn’t know? I do not remember the WP or the EB calling for an investigation into Biden at any point. They’re sitting there saying that Government should tell us. And, they’re not wrong. But, The Press is there to investigate. And tell. They failed.

Going back to May 2023

(Fox News) “Mr. Biden’s age is not inevitably the decisive issue, but it is a real one, and he will have to address it, forthrightly, whether the choice in 2024 is between him and Mr. Trump or another Republican. The public has a right to know details about his health, physical and mental, and about what he is doing to maintain it. The president also has an obligation to interact with the public, especially with reporters, regularly, and in settings that are not tightly controlled by the White House staff,” the editorial board wrote.

And what did the WP do after? Mostly, the news division ignored the issue, when they weren’t telling us that he was in great shape and totally up for the job. Just like the rest in the Credentialed Media. If Trump was having mental and age issues, you can damned well bet the reporters would be all over it.

Surprise: Even If All The Climate (scam) Initiatives Are Met Seas Will Rise In A Doomy Manner

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

Lots of UK tide gauges are not that good for long range, but, the one at Aberdeen shows a whopping .26 of sea rise per 100 years, which is closer to what one would expect in a low level Holocene warm period

Sigh. From the link

The world could see hugely damaging sea-level rise of several metres or more over the coming centuries even if the ambitious target of limiting global warming to 1.5C is met, scientists have warned.

Nearly 200 countries have pledged to try to keep the planet’s warming to 1.5C, but the researchers warn that this should not be considered “safe” for coastal populations.

They drew their conclusion after reviewing the most recent studies of how the ice sheets are changing – and how they have changed in the past.

But the scientists stress that every fraction of a degree of warming that can be avoided would still greatly limit the risks.

Centuries. Even 2 meters (6 feet) in the next 200 years be too much of a prognostication based on reality. But, I do like how they’ve now decided on several centuries as their time frame.

The authors of the new paper, published in the journal Communications Earth and Environment, draw together three main strands of evidence to underline this case.

The world’s current trajectory puts the planet on course for nearly 3C of warming by the end of the century, compared with the late 1800s, before humans began burning large amounts of planet-heating fossil fuels. That’s based on current government policies to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuels and other polluting activities. (snip)

First, records of the Earth’s distant past suggest significant melting – with sea levels several metres higher than present – during previous similarly warm periods, such as 125,000 years ago.

And the last time there was as much planet-warming carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as today – about 3 million years ago – sea levels were about 10-20m higher.

So, this has happened before, and was not mankind’s fault? I wonder if the BBC will yank those last three paragraphs out off the article, because it blows up their Belief that this is, in fact, all Mankind’s fault.

Winning: Senate Unanimously Approves “No Taxes On Tips”

By William Teach May 21, 2025 – 7:00 am

Another win for The Donald. I wonder, though, will this lead to people asking for more tips

Senate votes unanimously to eliminate federal taxes on tips

The Senate voted unanimously Tuesday to pass legislation that would eliminate the collection of federal taxes on tips, moving a step closer to fulfilling one of President Donald Trump’s key campaign promises.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) introduced the No Taxes on Tips Act earlier this year. Trump floated the proposal while stumping in Nevada during his 2024 presidential campaign, and the idea was quickly embraced by Democrats, too, including former Vice President and presidential contender Kamala Harris.

Democrats helped push the bill over the finish line Tuesday in a surprise move led by Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), one of the measure’s co-sponsors. Republicans allowed Rosen to advance the bill through a unanimous consent agreement, where any lawmaker can go to the Senate floor and seek passage of legislation as long as no other senator lodges an in-person objection at that same time. Unanimous consent success rates are not high for major changes to the tax code, and the maneuver Tuesday took political observers by surprise.

“‘No taxes on tips’ was one of President Trump’s key promises to the American people,” Rosen said on the Senate floor. “And I am not afraid to embrace a good idea wherever it comes from. “

At this point, the legislation goes to the House, where there is supposed to be a late Wednesday vote. Will Mike Johnson go for unanimous consent first? Which would mean a full on vote? Will anyone object if they try unanimous consent? And would they most likely be part of The Squad? If a full vote, will anyone vote against something that really everyone agrees on? It’s not like this is a big deal for most (especially when lots of tips are hidden from taxation), but, it can certainly help a lot who do their business based on tips.

Your Fault: Coming Doom From Toxic Fungi

By William Teach May 20, 2025 – 3:30 pm

This can be avoided if you just start taking the bus and give your money and freedom to government

An Apocalypse of Toxic Fungi Could Threaten Millions of Lives Within 15 Years

When writing about climate, lots of ink—or pixels, in a 21st-century context—is spent talking about the potential devastating impacts that climate change will have on plant and animal life. However, little is mentioned about the kingdom Fungi. Hundreds of thousands of species of fungi have been described, but that’s likely only 10 percent of the total number of fungal species that exist on Earth. These species include everyone’s delicious favorites, but also some more dangerous species that can cause toxic infections in animals and agricultural crops.

So, in a new study from the University of Manchester, scientists asked the question of what rising global temperatures could mean for the proliferation of some of these meaner mycelia. In a paper published on the preprint platform ResearchSquare, Norman van Rhijn, the lead author of the study, and his team describe what our fungal future has in store.

“Changes in environmental factors, such as humidity and extreme weather events, will change habitats and drive fungal adaptation and spread,” van Rhign said in a press statement. “We’ve already seen the emergence of the fungus Candida auris due to rising temperatures, but, until now, we had little information of how other fungi might respond to this change in the environment.”

The researchers analyzed the effects of rising temperatures on infection-causing fungi using different climate scenarios up to the year 2100. The study showed that within 15 years, if the world still relies on mostly fossil fuels instead of clean energy, fungi like Aspergillus flavus—a cause of agricultural rot that also produces mycotoxins that are harmful to mammals—will spread by 16 percent, which would put an additional 1 million people at risk of infection in Europe alone. This is largely because A. flavus is more thermotolerant than other fungi, meaning that it can thrive in hot, humid climates where other fungi simply could not.

So, some cultists decided to find another way to keep the money train going via some new Doom, and put it through their computer models. And probably never left the office. Too bad the people at Popular Mechanics didn’t ask all those involved with the study if they had given up their own use of fossil fuels. It’s all just speculation. Besides, I thought all the land would be underwater in 15 years.

While the spread of these toxic fungi—whose infections are hard to avoid, as they mostly travel in the air we breathe— the inverse may also be a cause for concern. Some life-sustaining fungi, responsible for breaking down plant and animal matter, may not be able to survive in some of the hottest parts of the world (especially on the African continent). It’s basically a one-two punch of bad news.

It’s all fear porn, based on a miniscule 1.6F increase in global temps since 1850.

Dems Lied About Biden: Will Voters Ever Trust Them Again?

By William Teach May 20, 2025 – 11:04 am

Nicole Russell asks the question at USA Today

Biden’s cancer diagnosis raises the question: Was he ever in good enough health? | Opinion

On May 18, Americans learned that former President Joe Biden has stage 4 cancer that has, unfortunately, metastasized to his bones.

It’s sad that Biden, who for decades served our nation as a senator, vice president and president, now faces a life-threatening illness only four months after leaving the White House.

But I can’t help but think about what Democratic Party leaders and much of the news media told Americans only a year ago. Biden was then portrayed as “active” and “robust.” He was more than ready, according to the Democratic Party, for four more years as commander in chief, even as he approached his 82nd birthday. (snip)

So, I have questions for the Democratic Party. When did Democratic leaders know that Biden was incapable of serving a second term? Why did they insist on a debate with Trump so early in the election year? Was the debate a fail-safe before the party’s convention in case Biden proved to be as shaky as we all eventually witnessed? Why should voters trust that the party will tell them the truth in the future?

They won’t. But, Democrats will still vote Democrat no matter what.

Hur decided not to prosecute Biden for improperly possessing classified documents because the special counsel thought a jury would view the president as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

That raised justified questions about whether Biden was competent enough to serve as president. But Democrats and much of the media brushed aside those concerns.

And the media will still pimp for Democrats. That’s what they do. It won’t change. They have fallen too deep down the well to get out and actually be reporters. Nor do most want to.

Conservatives were right to be suspicious a year ago about Biden’s health. But why weren’t more journalists asking tough questions at the time? Why weren’t Democratic leaders pressing for the good of their party and the country for Biden to step aside long before the debate debacle?

Conservatives were suspicious during the 2020 campaign, with Biden being hidden away for the most part.

Biden’s Late Cancer Diagnosis Exposes Democrats And The Media As Legitimate National Security Risks

Until Democrats start naming names and apologizing for their reckless, craven conduct as it relates to Joe Biden, I don’t want to hear another word about Pete Hegseth’s Signal chats.

It was fine timing to get news over the weekend that the former president, a well established dotard, has an advanced and aggressive form of prostate cancer that has reached his bones. There’s a strong likelihood that Biden was diagnosed with some stage of the disease before he was even elected president, and he almost certainly had it while in office. Yet the public knew nothing until Sunday.

Prayers up for Biden, but this is an appalling scandal. And it comes just as the dying news media are finally acknowledging that, yeah, Biden’s brain was rapidly browning over as he sat in the Oval Office, where he was losing track of space and time as the commander of the United States military, the point person for nuclear war.

Yeah, always good to have someone mentally incompetent driving the the world into WWIII.

Recall that now-Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson, when he was serving as Donald Trump’s first-term White House physician in 2018, rendered a medical summary on the president that more or less described Trump as in good health, if a little overweight and in need of some exercise. The dying media questioned him for an hour at a press conference. They were sure that Jackson was deceiving the public by not divulging some mental affliction that would have affirmed their feverish desire to see Trump removed from office by way of the 25th Amendment.

But, not only did the media not ask questions, they covered it up. I don’t expect anything to change.

US Attorney’s Office Charges Rep LaMonice McIver (D) For Assaulting Federal Officers

By William Teach May 20, 2025 – 7:39 am

Well, it took a few extra days than people thought, but, she is charged

LOL

(Breitbart) Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) was charged with assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement officers during a riot at Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba revealed that McIver was being charged. Noem noted that “no one is above the law.”

The announcements of the charges against McIver come after Reps. McIver, Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), and Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D) showed up at Delaney Hall to “conduct federal oversight” of the facility and allegedly stormed and trespassed. Baraka ended up being arrested for alleged criminal trespass.

They have lots of video of this, so, should be interesting. Should be interesting to see what kind of circus McIver brings when she turns herself in. You know she wants that. It’ll probably involve claims of raaaaacism. The charges against Baraka have been dropped

(NY Times) In a statement on Monday, Ms. McIver blamed federal law enforcement for instigating the clash, saying that “ICE agents created an unnecessary and unsafe confrontation.”

“The charges against me are purely political — they mischaracterize and distort my actions, and are meant to criminalize and deter legislative oversight,” she said.

Yeah, sweety, there’s video of your actions. But, Dems cannot complain after all the lawfare against Trump and people who worked for him. And, really, oversight doesn’t involve getting in the faces of federal agents doing their jobs.

Now we await all the screeching opinion pieces from the same outlets who cheered the Biden admin going after Trump.
