Oh Noes: Trump Deporting All Those Biden Imports Imperils The Health Sector

‘They’re the backbone’: Trump’s targeting of legal immigrants threatens health sector

The Trump administration’s efforts to strip protections from more than half a million legal immigrants could devastate the health sector, endangering care for the elderly and worsening rates of both chronic and infectious diseases.

Hundreds of thousands of health care workers, including an estimated 30,000 legal immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, are at risk of being deported — worrying providers and patients who rely on them for everything from nursing and physical therapy to maintenance, janitorial, foodservice and housekeeping work.

Goodwin Living, a faith-based, not-for-profit elder care complex just across the Potomac River from D.C., is poised to lose 65 staff members following Supreme Court rulings on Friday and earlier in May that gave the Trump administration permission to terminate humanitarian parole and temporary protected status issued by prior presidents to migrants from several countries plagued by poverty and violence.

“I just can’t even imagine the impact it would have on those of us that are cared for on a daily basis if we were to suddenly lose them,” said Jill Miller, who has resided at Goodwin Living for eight years with her husband Carl. “They’re the backbone.”

Have they considered hiring Americans? Instead of people who have only been in the U.S. for a few years, and probably barely speak the language at all? Hey, maybe lots of people on welfare can be employed doing this stuff. Seriously, how did so many of these Biden imports, who would always be under threat to be repatriated, since TPS only lasts 18 months at a time, become so embedded within the health system? How did they all get legal status so quick and jobs?

These vulnerabilities underscore the precarity of the nation’s patchwork immigration system. Immigrants — both documented and undocumented — make up a disproportionate share of the health care workforce, particularly in areas like long-term care for the elderly and people with disabilities, and their expulsion would make existing shortages much worse.

Illegals shouldn’t have jobs. Period. Those on TPS or (fake) asylum seekers should understand that their time is limited.

“There are valid concerns, absolutely,” said Simon Hankinson, a senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation. “But the solution we need is for Congress to determine what level of immigration we need, what skill level we need, what the conditions are, and then to pass laws. You can’t just completely bypass Congress with executive action on immigration and expect this fragile edifice that we set up to survive.”

What Democrats want is more voters, because they embed them in jobs, keep giving them TPS, give them asylum they do not deserve, then amnesty.

“The assertion that the only way we can take care of our seniors is by allowing unvetted illegal aliens and foreigners with criminal records to remain in the country is grossly false and lazy,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to POLITICO. “If people want to come to our country to be caregivers for our seniors, they need to do that by coming here the legal way.”

But, that wouldn’t create millions of new Democrat voters.

Hawaii Enacts Their Climate (scam) Tax For Tourists

By William Teach May 31, 2025 – 3:00 pm

So, what happens when there are few visitors and/or visitors spend less while there, including on tips, because of the extra taxes?

Hawaii Imposes the Nation’s First Climate Change Tax for Tourists — And It’s Expected to Generate $100 Million Annually

Legislators in Hawaii are implementing a hefty tax on tourism that they believe will help the state government take action against climate change.

According to the Associated Press and USA Today, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green signed a bill on Tuesday, May 27, that increased a tax on hotel room, vacation rentals and cruise ships to raise money to be used for issues such as eroding shorelines, wildfires and more.

Known as the first ever “Green Fee” in the country, Hawaii’s Act 96 will raise the state’s current transient accommodations tax (TAT) by 0.75%, making the taxes on nightly lodging rates 11%. The tax will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2026, according to a press release from Green’s office.

According to USA Today, travelers will have to pay a fee based on the nightly rate of their travel accommodations. For example, travelers staying in a hotel room that costs $300 per night will have to pay a $2.25 fee.

It’s not much, but, people do not like paying extra fees for bullshit.

“I mahalo the tourism industry for stepping up and collaborating on this initiative, which will preserve Hawai?i for kama??ina and visitors alike,” Governor Green explained. “The fee will restore and remediate our beaches and shorelines and harden infrastructure critical to the health and safety of all who call Hawai?i home, whether for a few days or a lifetime.”

So, if it is so important, than why not ban the use of fossil fuels? All those airports, heliports, boats, and vehicles? Why do the residents not pay? Why hit up the lifeblood of their economy?

Elsewhere, no matter what happens, it’s ‘climate change’

Floods kill at least 111 as northern Nigeria battles climate change, dry spells and heavy rainfall

Torrents of predawn rain unleashed flooding that killed at least 111 people in a market town where northern Nigerian farmers sell their wares to traders from the south, officials said Friday, predicting the death toll would grow.

The Nigerian Hydrological Services Agency did not immediately say how much rain fell after midnight Thursday in the town of Mokwa in the state of Niger more than 180 miles west of Abuja, the capital of Africa’s most populous nation.

Communities in northern Nigeria have been experiencing prolonged dry spells worsened by climate change and excessive rainfall that leads to severe flooding during the brief wet season.

In videos and photos on social media, floodwaters covered neighborhoods and homes were submerged, with their roofs barely visible above the brown colored waters. Waist-deep in water, residents tried to salvage what they could, or rescue others.

Got that? It’s your fault Someone Else’s Fault that carbon pollution is causing flooding and drought in a place that has historically had floods and droughts. Even desertification. Because of where Nigeria is located. There are other factors, such as deforestation, over-cultivation, over-grazing, cultivating marginal land, urbanization, and poor water management. Those are human caused, we do not need the boogeyman of “carbon pollution”. But, the cult will still do it. Floods and droughts go way back in their history throughout the Holocene.

Bummer: Feds Looking At Social Media Accounts Of Visa Holders For Harvard

By William Teach May 31, 2025 – 10:30 am

Realistically, they should be doing this for anyone coming on a visa, especially from certain countries, looking for support of Islamic extremism, America hatred, and Jew hatred

Federal officials to vet social media accounts of visa applicants heading to Harvard

The media never asks what they mean

Federal officials are set to start reviewing the social media accounts of visa applicants who plan to attend, work at or visit Harvard University for any signs of antisemitism, marking the latest development in a clash between the Trump administration and the Ivy League school.

A cable sent Friday signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and obtained by The Associated Press accused the university of failing to keep violence and antisemitism off campus. It said the vetting measure will help consular officers identify applicants with a history of those offenses “and to duly consider their visa eligibility under U.S. immigration law.”

The measure was sent to all U.S. embassies and consulates, and it takes effect immediately. It will serve as a pilot program that could be expanded more broadly, according to the cable. (snip)

More than a quarter of Harvard’s student body at its Cambridge campus are foreign students. Most are graduate students, coming from more than 100 countries.

Earlier this week, the State Department paused the scheduling of new visa interviews for foreign students looking to study in the U.S., saying it was preparing to expand the screening of their activity on social media. It’s unclear whether that pause has been lifted.

This is a long standing problem, letting in foreign students who support Islamic extremism, hate the U.S (and the Western world), and Jews. Who want to see Israel destroyed. One would have thought the feds would have been more careful, restrictive, and discerning in a post-9/11 world. I’d like to blame Obama and his people, but, this was happening under Clinton, and Bush43 didn’t seem to crack down.

Opinion – Pipeline of hate: From campus rhetoric to capital murder

Hatred doesn’t erupt — it festers, it seeps quietly into our culture through rhetoric, ideology and the institutions we trust to educate our young. Then, one day, it explodes.

Last week, that hatred turned lethal in the heart of our nation’s capital. Two young Israeli diplomatic staffers were killed — victims not of a random act of violence, but of a deep-seated ideology that has been allowed to metastasize from college campuses to city streets.

This tragedy did not begin with a gunman. It began with a lecture, a slogan, a chant shouted in the quad, a speech at commencement, or a tenured professor’s tweet. It began the moment elite institutions chose to confuse academic freedom with moral ambiguity or abdication, and to shelter calls for violence under the banner of “resistance.”

The alleged shooter was none other than a radicalized Elias Rodriguez, who had absorbed such teachings and joined the movements supporting them.

This is a long piece by Sabrina Soffer, which I’m surprised The Hill allowed to be published, which describes the long standing anti-Israel and anti-Jew sentiment on campus, particularly as it emanates from teachers. It’s well worth the read, but, it does miss one thing: how it starts with the Islamic extremists on campus, which is intentional, as they use the Muslim Brotherhood playbook. The Muslim Student Association exists to spread Islamism, hatred of the West, and Jew hatred. It’s an attempt to make Western governments and idiot leftists supporters, as well as get them to not interfere. Just allow it to happen. Remember the Pulse nightclub shooting? How many in the media and government looked at it as being a jihadi attack? Not many, right?

And notice that the murder of the two Israelis has mostly disappeared from the news. If it was an Israeli who murdered two Palestinians would we still be getting news?

Youts Sue Trump Over Climate (scam) Executive Orders

By William Teach May 31, 2025 – 7:00 am

And, by youts, we all know this means many big monied climate cult groups astroturfing this

Young people sue Donald Trump over climate change

A group of young people — as young as 7 and as old as 25 — are suing the Trump administration to stop its assault on renewable energy and climate action.

Executive orders President Donald Trump signed to promote fossil fuels amount to an “unconstitutional” overreach of power, they allege in a complaint filed Thursday at a US District Court in Montana. The 22 plaintiffs also claim that by increasing pollution and denying climate science, the president’s actions violate their Fifth Amendment rights to life and liberty.

It’s the latest high-profile case brought against governments by youth concerned about how fossil fuel pollution and climate change poses risks to their health and ability to thrive as they grow up.

Two brothers, aged 11 and 7 and named “J.K.” and “N.K.” in the suit, “were born into climate change-induced smoke seasons that did not exist for older generations and which compromise their health,” the complaint says. (big snip)

The plaintiffs are seeking injunctive relief to block implementation of those executive orders and to declare them unconstitutional. They also claim that Trump lacks the authority to erode environmental protections passed by Congress under the Clean Air Act. The administration’s efforts to impede scientific research and remove climate information from federal websites amounts to “censorship” and denies plaintiffs access to resources they might otherwise be able to use to minimize risks they face from climate change, the suit alleges.

Will the defense lawyers or any involved judges ask if the kiddies have forgone the use of fossil fuels in their own lives? Also, have the lawyers who put this together actually read the 5th, and know what it means?

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Yeah, that’s all about criminal prosecutions, not a bunch of cultists trying to say a tiny increase in the Earth’s temperature over 175 years from the same fossil fuels the youts won’t stop using themselves violates their 5th amendment rights. It’s all very silly.

It’s also very silly, because these same youts are happy to take Other People’s property, liberty, and I bet are supporters of abortion.

CNN Says “Investigators” Claim Migrant Who Threatened To Kill Trump Was Set Up

By William Teach May 31, 2025 – 6:45 am

See if you see what I see. Or, better, what I’m not seeing

Exclusive: Kristi Noem said a migrant threatened to kill Trump. Investigators think he was set up

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted a stunning allegation on Wednesday: A undocumented migrant sent a letter threatening to kill President Donald Trump, promising to “self deport” after the assassination.

“Thanks to our ICE officers, this illegal alien who threatened to assassinate President Trump is behind bars,” Noem wrote in a social media post that included the letter and a picture of the man arrested. DHS also sent out a press release.

The story was picked up by multiple news outlets. The president’s allies used it to highlight what they see as the dangers of undocumented migrants and the work of the administration to boot them out of the country.

The problem: Investigators believe the migrant was a victim of a setup.

Law enforcement believes the man, Ramon Morales Reyes, 54, never wrote the letter, which was sent to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office and other law enforcement agencies, several sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

Instead, investigators suspect the letter was intended to benefit a separate individual who is currently awaiting trial in a robbery and assault case in which Reyes is a victim. They do not consider the threat to be credible.

Who are these investigators? Which law enforcement?

A high-level law enforcement official who was briefed on the case told CNN that law enforcement determined Reyes did not write the letter when they interviewed him regarding the threat. Federal officials asked for a handwriting sample from Reyes and determined his handwriting and the threatening letter didn’t match.

Further, a source told CNN law enforcement reviewed jail calls made by a person they believe played a role in penning the letters. The source said the person asked about specific addresses, one of which received the letter.

Is there one source that is named? They do not even name the agencies. That’s not to say that the illegal wasn’t set up. Hey, I think it could be true. But, this is the problem with the Credentialed Media: anonymous sources out the wazoo in order to Get Trump.

A spokesperson for the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin told CNN they have “no charged matter involving this individual,” and declined to comment further.

“Morales entered the U.S. illegally at least nine times between 1998-2005,” DHS said in its original press release on Reyes’ arrest. “His criminal record includes arrests for felony hit and run, criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct with a domestic abuse modifier.”

So, in order to Get Trump, CNN is trying to prop up this scumbag? Really? And, what if it is a different illegal? Is CNN OK with that?

Fossil Fuels Companies Sued Over Death Of Person On Hot Day

By William Teach May 30, 2025 – 4:39 pm

I doubt this will go far, but, the cult will keep trying, and I bet they now file more of these nuisance suits

Oil companies face a wrongful death suit tied to climate change

A lawsuit filed in a Washington state court claims oil companies are responsible for the death of a woman in Seattle during a record-breaking heat wave several years ago.

The case marks the first time oil companies have been sued over the death of a person in a “climate disaster,” according to the Center for Climate Integrity, an advocacy group.

Julie Leon, 65, was found unresponsive in her car on June 28, 2021 — the hottest day in Seattle’s history. The temperature in the city that day peaked at 108 degrees Fahrenheit. By the time Leon died of hyperthermia, her internal temperature had risen to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the lawsuit filed Thursday in King County Superior Court.

The suit names six oil companies, including ExxonMobil, BP and Chevron, that have allegedly known for decades that burning fossil fuels alters the Earth’s atmosphere, resulting in more extreme weather and the “foreseeable loss of human life.” But rather than warn the public, the suit says the oil companies deceived consumers about the risks.

“Defendants have known for all of Julie’s life that their affirmative misrepresentations and omissions would claim lives,” the lawsuit says. “Julie is a victim of Defendants’ conduct.”

Why did they wait almost four years to file the suit? If fossil fuels are so bad why was Ms. Leon in her car? Did it not have air conditioning? Why was she out and about?

In a rapid attribution study released days after the event, a team of scientists said the 2021 heatwave in the Pacific Northwest would have been “virtually impossible without human-caused climate change.”

In other words, they made some mule-fritters up, but, do they know what the actual temperatures were during the Medieval Warm Period? How about the Roman Warm Period? And others over the last 8,000 year? That would be necessary for comparison.

A lawyer for Chevron, Theodore Boutrous, criticized the lawsuit. “Exploiting a personal tragedy to promote politicized climate tort litigation is contrary to law, science, and common sense,” Boutrous said in a statement to NPR. “The court should add this far-fetched claim to the growing list of meritless climate lawsuits that state and federal courts have already dismissed.”

If it is not thrown out, and makes it through trial and the plaintiffs win, it will eventually die on appeal once it makes it out of the far-left Washington area. Right now, other than reimbursement for certain costs, such as medical and funeral, they have left damages open-ended, hoping the jury will reward them big time. But, more importantly, that the jury (a jury trial is demanded) find the companies liable in order to create more lawsuits, because you know there must be cult groups behind the suit.

SCOTUS Rules Trump Admin Can Revoke Protected Status Migrants

By William Teach May 30, 2025 – 11:47 am

Apparently, it is a slapping wacko judges down day. I just mentioned on this morning for ruling the Trump admin cannot end the protections. Will this stop the wacko liberal federal judges?

Supreme Court lets Trump revoke safe-haven program for Cubans, Haitians, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans

The Supreme Court on May 30 said the Trump administration can revoke for now the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans living in the United States.

Two of the court’s three liberal justices – Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor – dissented.

Jackson wrote that the court “plainly botched” its assessment of whether the government or the 532,000 migrants would suffer the greater harm if their legal status ends while the administration’s mass termination of that status is being litigated.

The administration wants to cut short a humanitarian program that provided a two-year haven for migrants because of economic, security, political and health crises in their home countries.

Lawyers for the migrants said half a million people lawfully in the country will become subject to deportation, in what it called the “largest mass illegalization event in modern American history.”

As opposed to the largest mass importation in modern American history?

At the end of the day, the Trump admin could have just waited out the clock for when the 18 month TPC on each group ends, but, then a loopy lefty judge would rule that they cannot be repatriated. Will this SCOTUS ruling stop the lawfare? Doubtful.

Democrat Tap Obese “Content Creator” To Woo Young Men Back

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

The numbers weren’t that bad for the Democrats during the 2024 election when it comes to Gen Z males: 54% voted Kamala. But, that is not enough for Democrats. Also, Democrats are worried over whether this is a blip or a trend where the men vote more and more for Republicans. And there is a concern with Millennial and Gen X men. So, what to do?

(Outkick) It was a blowout across the board, and one of the issues is that Democrats simply don’t appeal to regular dudes.

It’s a problem they don’t seem to know how to fix.

Trashing men, calling all of the rapists and sexual abusers, denigrating, saying women do not need men, saying masculine things are stupid. Yeah, that worked.

You’d think Democrats would move back to the center, and just realize that regular dudes are simply that.

Regular people who mostly want to live life and be left alone.

A smart person would think that, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Instead, Democrats continue to go full cringe. That includes popular Democrat activist Olivia Julianna talking about how much she loves “young men” and how they actually all agree with Democrat policies.

“I spend a lot of time on college campuses…I love young men. I love frat guys, and in that I realize, even the ones who identify as conservative are almost always pro-choice. Almost always pro-gay marriage. You’d be surprised at the number of them who supported Black Lives Matter. I feel like people kind of just lump them into this box when the truth is, again, a lot of them are with us on the issues. They’re just not part of our coalition because they feel like they’re not welcome,” Julianna said during an interview with Micah Erfan.

So, instead of using hot female celebrities, they go with the obese lady?

Well, good luck!

It’s pretty simple to figure out how to appeal to men. They love America, football, WWII history, drinking beer with their friends, adventure and a sense of purpose.

Well, they fail with that too, with their silly cooking burgers things and such.
