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.

PRC Investigating Whether Local Cops Are Snitching On Illegals

By William Teach March 28, 2026 – 10:30 am

If it turns out cops are telling federal authorities about the really bad ones, will the People’s Republik of California tell us about it?

After immigration arrests, California lawmakers wonder: Are police telling the feds too much?

Citing fear of authoritarianism and invasive surveillance, California lawmakers voted this week to audit the operation of joint intelligence centers where federal, state, and local agencies share information.

The decision was made Tuesday along party lines by the Joint Committee on Legislative Audit, a 14-member body made up of members of the California Senate and Assembly. Nine members voted in favor, one against, and four did not vote. The audit will be conducted by State Auditor Grant Parks.

Advocacy groups like the American Civil Liberties Union, Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Oakland Privacy urged lawmakers to demand the audit to rein in what they described as abuses at the facilities, known as fusion centers. They cited an incident in which Immigration and Customs Enforcement reportedly asked La Habra police to run searches on its behalf at an Orange County fusion center and several others in which San Francisco police circumvented a local ban on facial recognition by asking for help from a fusion center with access to the technology.

CalMatters investigations last year and last month found instances where local law enforcement agencies shared license plate information with ICE or the Border Patrol, violating state law. California Attorney General Rob Bonta sent letters to more than a dozen local law enforcement agencies since 2024 for potential violations of the state law banning it and sued the City of El Cajon for allegedly violating the ban.

See, they do not care a whit if the cops are sharing information with Los Federales on U.S. citizens who are, say, wanted fugitives, they care if the people are illegal aliens. And it’s somehow “authoritarianism” to alert Los Federales. I don’t remember it being “authoritarianism” when ICE and others were being told when Obama and Biden were in office. They never say why they consider it authoritarianism.

Sen. Sabrina Cervantes, a Democrat from Riverside, requested the audit. She believes that fusion centers have undermined state law that prohibits cooperation with federal law enforcement agencies for immigration purposes. A 2024 Surveillance Technology Oversight Project report cited in her audit petition alleges that a California fusion center routinely shares information with ICE. She also said the centers put at risk the privacy of Californians more broadly, particularly given what she describes as the slide of the federal government into authoritarianism.

Federal law takes presedence over state law on immigration matters, and, the state of California’s, the counties, and local police all receive federal money. Stop taking it and maybe you’ll have a leg to stand on.

Meanwhile

Santa Fe has short time to spend housing funds after immigration fight with feds

Six local nonprofits have a shrinking window of time to spend federal funds meant to help reduce Santa Fe’s severe housing problems.

The funding must be spent by the end of the federal fiscal year in September, but with just six months remaining, the nonprofits are still waiting for the city, which administers the federal program, to allocate the money.

The money was specifically stated to not be used for illegals, but, of course, a judge said that was mean. So, now, Santa Fe has a severe housing problem because there are too many illegals, making it difficult for the Americans who live there, raising the cost of things like rent.

We’re Saved: Small Group Of Alaskans Take Fossil Fueled Trips To Demand Climate (scam) Action

By William Teach March 28, 2026 – 7:00 am

So, they want to get rid of fossil fuels? Really, without them Alaska would be a back country wilderness. No one would really go there

Small group of Alaskans rally for climate action at Capitol

stop global warmingOrganizers and lawmakers gathered on the steps of the Alaska State Capitol on Thursday morning to rally in support of bills and funding to address climate change in Alaska.

At the gathering of about 25 people, Rep. Donna Mears, an Anchorage Democrat, said climate disasters are expensive for the state.

“The additional cost to government for responding to climate disasters like interior wildfires and the storms in western and northern Alaska,” Mears said. “So we’re getting budget pressures from that, but we also we can’t just spend money on that. We need to work upstream.”

Mears said she supports programs like the Renewable Energy Fund, which was established in 2008. The Alaska Energy Authority requested $41.2 million dollars from the Legislature to help pay for 29 renewable energy projects across the state next year.

Funny how they always want Other Pay to pay for their beliefs. How well will solar panels work in the winter when the sun is scarce, both from storms, fog, and fewer daylight hours? How about wind turbines when it can get way too windy for them to operate and very cold for extended periods of time? Look, in fairness, a lot of Alaskans have solar panels for their personal homes, since laying power lines is not easy in the frozen soil. Many do not have running water, relying on cisterns. Many heavily rely on fossil fuels for transportation, power, and heating.

Felix Rivera is an Anchorage Assembly member who works at The Alaska Center, an environmental advocacy nonprofit. He spoke in support of two bills that haven’t made it out of committees.

Seems rather a conflict of interest.

House GOP Nixes Senate DHS Bill

By William Teach March 28, 2026 – 6:45 am

The hard part is Thune sent the Senate off on a two week break from D.C. I mean, is he trying to lose the mid-terms?

House GOP rejects Senate-passed DHS bill, proposes stopgap

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Friday rejected a Senate-passed bill to fund much of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), but not immigration enforcement, instead proposing a stopgap to fund the entire department for eight weeks.

The move amounts to a stunning rebuke of the upper chamber by GOP leaders — and extends the length of what is already the longest partial government shutdown in history in its 42nd day.

“This gambit that was done last night is a joke. I’m quite convinced that it can’t be that every Senate Republican read the language of this bill,” Johnson said, going on to read the Senate-passed bill language that provides zero dollars for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and border security operations.

“We’re not doing that,” Johnson said. “And it is unconscionable to me that the Democrats would force some sort of negotiation at three o’clock in the morning.”

Johnson said he intended to hold a vote “as soon as possible” on a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the entirety of DHS through May 22. Such a bill will mark the fourth time that the House has passed funding for the full department.

Of course, it’s hard for that CR to go anywhere even if the Senate was still in D.C.

House GOP leaders were also outraged at the Senate deal. Johnson was visibly frustrated in comments to reporters as he slammed the Senate GOP bill, putting him at odds with his counterpart in the upper chamber, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.).

“I wouldn’t call John Thune the engineer of this,” Johnson said. “Chuck Schumer and the Democrats in the Senate have forced this upon the Senate. I have to protect the House.”

Thune is the majority leader, right? If the situation was reversed do you think that Schumer would have allowed this? Or would he have found a way to get it done? Hell, Schumer crowed about the GOP caving.

The bill funding much of DHS also passed the Senate by unanimous consent, underlining its broad support, even as Johnson on Friday sought to put the blame on Senate Democrats.

So, they didn’t actually vote? Put themselves on the record specifically? Huh.

Your Fault: The Iran War Is Bad For Hotcoldwetdrya

By William Teach March 27, 2026 – 6:52 pm

The Warmists are very upset that Iran is having the shit kicked out of it, and want this to stop

The war on Iran is a war on the climate

Every missile fired, every refinery burned and every pipeline ruptured does more than damage and destroy infrastructure and take human life — it releases vast quantities of greenhouse gases into an already overheated atmosphere. In Tehran, military strikes have turned the sky black and the air caustic, a stark reminder that modern war runs on carbon.

Preliminary modeling and calculations by the Climate and Community Institute estimate that the first 14 days of the current Iran conflict produced more than 5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, an amount equal to a year’s worth of emissions from 1.1 million gas-powered cars.

Emissions will continue as the war goes on, but they will increase exponentially when it is over. Clearing rubble and then rebuilding are the biggest source of emissions in any war. One study estimates greenhouse gas emissions for rebuilding Gaza and Lebanon after the war to be at least 24 times more than those from the war itself.

Just as concerning as increased greenhouse gas emissions from war and the repercussions are the prospect of feverish production of fossil fuels and a return to a greater reliance on coal to meet current and future demand. Roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz before the war shut it down. Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, has called this the greatest energy security threat in modern history.

The obvious answer from the cult is to top using fossil fuels. Also, to leave the Islamic extremists in Iran and Gaza alone. Who cares if women are treated like chattel: it’s a small price to pay for the Warmists. Well, a small price to pay for Other People. The Warmists are safely ensconsed in their air conditioned homes with full Internet and food and energy.

Weird how the same people really didn’t complain much about the war in Ukraine. Hell, most of them supported it.

Is There A DHS Deal In The Senate?

By William Teach March 27, 2026 – 10:30 am

If there is, will it pass in the House?

DHS shutdown breakthrough comes at cost for Republicans as funding fights nears end

Congress is one step closer to ending the Homeland Security shutdown after the Senate advanced a new, last-minute deal, but it came at the price of Republicans ceding ground, temporarily, to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

The Senate unanimously advanced a deal to reopen most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the wee hours of Friday morning, 42 days into the shutdown that was spurred by the Trump administration’s immigration operations in Minnesota.

It was an agreement that largely gave Schumer and Senate Democrats what they wanted — no funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and parts of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). But it lacked the stringent reforms they desired, like requiring judicial warrants or requiring agents to unmask. (snip)

The DHS funding deal now heads to the House, where Republicans aren’t enthusiastic about not funding key components of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown agenda.

There it is. But, Democrats did not get a block on immigration enforcement protecting their identities from the unhinged Democrat base, nor on requiring warrants. Which is strange, because Democrats didn’t care about warrants when Obama was deporting all those illegals, nor under Biden.

And ICE and CBP are still flush with roughly $75 billion in cash from Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” giving the agencies a buffer for a time.

“The good news is we anticipated this a year ago. I mean, one of the reasons we front loaded, pre-loaded up the ‘one big, beautiful bill’ with advanced funding for Homeland Security was because we anticipated this was likely going to happen, and it did,” Thune said. “I still think it’s unfortunate. The Dems wanted reforms. We tried to work with them on reforms. They ended up getting no reforms.”

And then Republicans say that they will put funding for ICE and CBP and immigration operations in a reconciliation bill. Will they, though?Never know what you’ll get out of the Squish Squad.

The House is supposed to vote on it today, so, we’ll see what happens. And Thune best not let the Senate leave on a 2 week break before that vote is held.

Democrats want to stop immigration enforcement against people like the above. By extension, they approve of people like that.
