Weird: Man Who Plotted White House UFC Attack Is An Illegal Alien

By William Teach June 21, 2026 – 7:00 am

Democrats love to import crazy violent people

DHS: Alleged ringleader of UFC Freedom 250 plot involving Danville teen is a Mexican illegal alien

The suspected ringleader of the failed terrorist plot at last weekend’s UFC Freedom 250 on the White House lawn is a Mexican illegal alien who overstayed a B2 visitor visa, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The FBI arrested Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez in Omaha, Neb., on June 14 for his alleged involvement in the plot to carry out a mass-casualty attack against government officials and other attendees at Sunday’s UFC event at the White House.

Four other co-conspirators were arrested last weekend in Ohio, Missouri, and California, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. (snip)

According to published reports, the plot involved at least 12 suspects across the United States who adhered to an “accelerationist” ideology and hoped to bring down American capitalism, according to federal law enforcement sources.

So, basically Democrat Party doctrine

Alvarez entered the United States on a B2 visitor visa and failed to depart before it expired in December 2001. The Obama Administration granted him Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals in 2014.

surprise surprise surprise

It’s so weird that DACA recipients keep being found to be criminals.

Huh: Democrat Senator Candidate Called ICE On Illegals

By William Teach June 20, 2026 – 4:31 pm

Well this is a howdo ya do

Democratic-Backed Senate Candidate Reportedly Called ICE on Migrant Workers

On Friday, CNN’s KFile team reported that Dan Osborn, the Democratic-backed independent Senate candidate from Nebraska, recalled calling ICE on replacement workers hired after his union went on strike in 2021, despite heavily criticizing the agency throughout his campaign.

KFile’s Andrew Kaczynski joined CNN’s Boris Sanchez on-air, explaining, “Dan Osborn presents himself as a pro-labor populist who is sharply critical of some of [President Donald] Trump’s administration’s harsh immigration enforcement tactics. But, during a major labor strike that he led in 2021, Osborn said his union had turned to federal immigration authorities over allegations involving undocumented replacement workers.”

The uncovered video of Osborn from 2021 was shown next, depicting the candidate telling an interviewer about his union’s strike, “Kellogg’s is bringing in replacement workers. We have it on good authority that they’re replacing us with a good percentage of undocumented workers… We have been in contact with Homeland Security and ICE… I hope they do the right thing and investigate our claims.”

Kaczynski said that at the time, Osborn was the president of a local union for Omaha Kellogg’s cereal plant workers. Kellogg’s did not respond to KFile’s request for comment on the immigration status of the replacement workers in question.

Weird

In recent months, Osborn has “criticized the use of masked federal agents and called some of what he’s seeing ‘not humanly decent,’” reported KFile. “His campaign told CNN that he actually never personally contacted ICE or Homeland Security. Instead, the campaign said that he contacted the local sheriff and sought guidance on how those allegations involving undocumented replacement workers should be reported.”

Tomato tomAto, same thing

PRC Tells Disneyland To Switch Iconic Ride From Gas To EV

By William Teach June 20, 2026 – 10:30 am

The People’s Republik Of California is insane

Disneyland must retire gas-powered Autopia cars by February

Disneyland faces a February deadline to retire Autopia’s gas-powered engines or close the 1955 opening day Tomorrowland attraction under a settlement agreement with the state agency that regulates air pollution in California.

MiceChat reports Disneyland faces a state-mandated deadline to retire the gas-powered cars on Autopia by Feb. 1 or shut down the attraction.

Climate Colored Goggles discovered Autopia’s state-mandated deadline for retiring the gas cars after filing a California Public Records Act request with the California Air Resources Board to review a copy of Disney’s settlement compliance plan.

Disneyland plans to update Autopia with fully electric vehicles and retire the gas engines that have powered the Tomorrowland race track attraction since the 1955 debut of the Anaheim theme park.

Disneyland reached an agreement with the Air Resources Board to retire the current Autopia gas-powered engines in early 2027, according to Disneyland officials.

The ride itself goes a whopping 6 miles an hour, and, let’s be honest, with the price of gas in the PRC it would probably be worth replacing them with EV engines in the long term, though, energy isn’t exactly cheap in the PRC. However, it’s simply wackadoodle that the state government is going to essentially force Disney to replace the engines, it’s the definition of Big Government. There’s nothing they won’t interfere in.

Disneyland paid a $56,000 settlement to the California Air Resources Board in 2024 after disclosing the Honda engines on Autopia ride vehicles were operating without certified emission controls.

The California Air Resources Board fine was the result of an administrative oversight that was promptly corrected with no impact to the environment, according to Disneyland officials.

They tiny engines for a ride, good grief. And Disney should have sent some investigators around to the members of the CARB to see if they are driving EVs or still in their fossil fueled vehicles. Remember, CARB is responsible for the California EV requirement.

Surprise: Coral Reefs Could Resist Climate Doom

By William Teach June 20, 2026 – 7:15 am

The hell you say!

Vast areas of coral reef could resist climate change: study

In the crystalline waters off Kenya’s coast, coral reefs are thriving — evidence of a rare good news story in the battle to protect oceans from the ravages of climate change.

A new study presented at the Our Ocean Conference in Mombasa on Tuesday finds that 166,000 square kilometers of the world’s coral reefs — around a third of the total — are particularly “climate-resilient”, meaning they have the potential to survive through major ocean warming events.

The study by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and? Macquarie University in Australia challenges the findings of the IPCC, the global authority on climate change, which has stated 70 to 90 percent of coral reefs could die with global warming of 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels, and 99 percent at 2 C.

“Our models are showing a much more hopeful future for corals reefs. We predict that there are many climate resilient reefs around the world that will persist over time,” Stacy Jupiter, executive director for marine conservation at WCS, told AFP.

Corals developed in much warmer waters. In fact, corals prefer warmer water. Corals have survived multiple warm and cool periods since the end of the last glacial age, and survived the last glacial age.

Coral “bleaching” occurs when water temperatures rise by a degree or two, stressing the coral’s animal tissues and making them expel algae, turning them white.

But the new study finds many reefs are resilient, either because they exist in cool spots, or because they have evolved to withstand heat, or recover more quickly than most.

Obviously, this still means Doom, and the cult won’t stop yammering about them.

Bummer: Adult Store Can’t Make Payroll After Raising Money For Illegals

By William Teach June 20, 2026 – 7:00 am

Funny how they didn’t work to raise money for Americans

After raising money for immigrant families, Minneapolis adult store asks community for help

After spending months helping immigrant families weather the economic fallout of federal immigration enforcement operations in the Twin Cities, Smitten Kitten is asking the community for help sustaining itself.

The adult retail store in Minneapolis’ Lyn-Lake neighborhood issued a public plea for community financial support.

The strain comes after months of directing staff and volunteer time, resources and fundraising efforts toward mutual aid work that supported immigrants during Operation Metro Surge.

The store became one of the most visible community aid hubs after the federal operation began. Following the killing of Renee Good, Smitten Kitten began collecting groceries, diapers, toilet paper and other essentials.

“Nothing is going to change unless we’re going to do something,” said Anne Lehman, Smitten Kitten social media manager and mutual aid advisor.

You’re just an adult store, you know that, right? Selling smut?

The store also helped direct efforts toward rent relief for immigrants facing heightened uncertainty and economic hardship.

“People had been hiding out since October. They’re going to need things like diapers, toilet paper and water.” Lehman said. “We ended up opening our store as a donation drop-off stop.”

Illegals over Americans

“We had to move where our stuff was because U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had caught on to what we were doing and tried to intimidate us,” said Lehman.

In response, the store decided to move its operations elsewhere and began to focus on raising money for necessities. According to Lehman, the establishment raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for various needs.

The operation, in part, ended by mid-February, and federal presence in Minnesota diminished. As things began to wind down, so did cash flow at Smitten Kitten.

So, they over-extended themselves, and now the community doesn’t care.

In a social media post, Lehman asked the community to come help support the store by asking for donations, asking people to shop at their store or online.

“We are asking for help, but also all of these things that we’re pouring all of our energy into is not going away,” said Lehman. “If we want to continue doing mutual aid, we have to have a solid foundation of our business as well.”

Shame. Adult store now having issues. I guess all those Minneapolis folks care more about illegals than helping Americans.

Looks Like They’ve Now Destroyed Robin Hood

By William Teach June 19, 2026 – 6:51 pm

Movie makers wonder why no one wants to spend lots of money at the movies, then we get something like this

From the AP review

In the opening moments of Michael Sarnoski’s “The Death of Robin Hood,” Hugh Jackman’s Robin shelters on a cold and desolate peatland. A young attacker (Jade Croot) emerges from the dark emptiness beyond his campfire. He grabs her, tells her it was a mistake to bathe. He could smell her downwind. Then he puts a knife through her skull.

Whichever version of Robin Hood is your favorite — three cheers for the 1973 animated Disney one — the story takes a beating in “The Death of Robin Hood.” There are no knights in shining armor. There are no merry men. There is absolutely no swashbuckling.

Sarnoski, the director of the excellent Nicolas Cage thriller “Pig” and sci-fi sequel “A Quiet Place: Day One,” has sapped every bit of derring-do from the folk hero. It’s a thoughtful inversion of myth with some compelling ideas about the nature of storytelling. But it’s a total slog.

“The Death of Robin Hood” drains the blood, and life, out of an old English legend. So forget about robbing from the rich and stealing from the poor. This Robin is a grizzled marauder who can’t even remember how many people he’s killed. We are, to say the least, very, very far from men in tights.

Sounds like a great watch, eh? Aren’t you excited to go see it? I’d ask who green-lit this, but, we’ve seen lots of bad ideas green-lit over the past 10 year, knowing this was a Bad Idea.

Now, the original Robin Hood stories featured no Maid Marion, and, Robin Hood and his men pretty much stole from anyone and certainly didn’t give money to the poor, but, damn, this looks super depressing. Not a reason I go to the movies, especially when you seemingly spend $20+ just for an afternoon matinee.

Surprise: Climate Doom Won’t Be Solved With Yap Yap

By William Teach June 19, 2026 – 3:00 pm

Politico EU seems offended

UN summit collides with reality that talking won’t solve climate change

Talking won’t save the planet. Climate negotiators are starting to catch on.

On the banks of the Rhine, diplomats from almost 200 nations spent the past two weeks arguing over linguistic details while grappling with the growing sense that what mattered more lay outside their negotiation rooms.

On Thursday, countries wrapped up climate talks in the former West German capital, Bonn, where negotiators sought to lay the groundwork for COP31, taking place in Antalya, Turkey, in November.

But as they debated textual references, the fate of work programs, and the definitions of past agreements, many delegates found that the divide between real-world efforts to rein in climate change and their squabbles over technical language felt starker than ever.

Would these be all those diplomats who took fossil fueled trips to Bonn for these talks yammering about real world efforts?

The course, diplomats say, is set: Ten years after the Paris Agreement committed countries to limiting global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius, and ideally to 1.5C, the accord’s many technicalities have largely been sorted out.

The challenge now is how to achieve those targets, and countries are realizing that the answer won’t be found in United Nations negotiation rooms where every climate decision, no matter how small, requires the consensus of all nations in attendance.

The answer is very simple: if we hypothetically agree that the warming of the Modern War Period is mostly caused by the actions of Mankind then all those who Believe should give up their use of fossil fuels, stop eating meat, live in tiny homes, etc and so on. Yet, 99.9% do not, especially the Elites, like these diplomats. Why are the policies always about more taxes/fees, limiting freedom, and dictating life choices?

“What we have seen here in Bonn is also very, very telling of this so-called shift to implementation,” said Fernanda Carvalho, head of climate policy at WWF, who attended this week’s talks as an observer.

“Negotiations remain relevant … because they bring the legitimacy and the clarity, but they need to evolve, of course,” she added. “And how does it evolve? It connects more and more to what’s happening in the real world and outside those rooms here.”

That looks like something Drunk Kamala would say. What kind of babbley is this?

“The action agenda is going to be an increasing centerpiece of this process if you’re serious about shifting from negotiation to implementation,” said Alden Meyer, veteran climate negotiation observer for think tank E3G.

Were I a Warmist, I’d be a little annoyed that we’ve been spreading awareness for 35 year, having COPs for 30, and it’s mostly yap yap.

“We’re moving on a bit from negotiating,” the European diplomat said. “Negotiations here are so technical, it’s difficult to distill a message. But the message doesn’t have to come from the negotiations.”

My message?

And apply this to all the Believers.
