Horror: ICE Spending $38 Billion Making Warehouses Into Detainment Centers

By William Teach February 14, 2026 – 6:45 am

Suddenly Democrats find $38 billion to be a big number when it comes to detaining illegals, when you had NYC spending $5 billion in 2024, Chicago over $300 million, and many more Dem run cities spending hundreds of millions. Some measures show that illegals cost $42 billion in welfare benefits (which they aren’t supposed to receive) a year

ICE to spend $38bn turning warehouses into detention centers, documents show

US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) expects to spend an estimated $38.3bn on a plan to acquire warehouses across the country and retrofit them into new immigration detention centers with capacity for tens of thousands of detainees, according to documents the agency sent to the governor of New Hampshire.

The documents, published on the state’s website on Thursday, disclose that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) estimates it will spend $158m retrofitting a new detention facility in Merrimack, New Hampshire, and an additional estimated $146m to operate the facility in the first three years.

According to an overview of the plans, which were first reported by the Washington Post, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would buy and convert 16 buildings across the US into regional processing centers, each holding between 1,000 and 1,500 people at a time. Another eight large-scale detention centers would hold 7,000 to 10,000 people at a time and serve as “the primary locations” for deportations. Detainees would spend an average of three to seven days at the processing sites before being transported to the larger facilities, where they would be held about 60 days before being deported.

They can all avoid this by self deporting. It would have been a lot easier if the Biden admin hadn’t let in millions of illegals/fake asylum seekers.

Good News: A Wind Power Freighter Could Launch In 2027

By William Teach February 13, 2026 – 3:00 pm

This is revolutionary, people!

From the link

A 100% wind-powered cargo ship that can dramatically cut transatlantic shipping times and carbon emissions, according to its operator, could launch in early 2027.

French company Vela will run a service between France and the US with its custom-made seacraft. The 220-foot (67-meter) long, 82-foot (25-meter) wide vessel will be able to transport just over 400 metric tons of cargo, and was designed with the input of Vela cofounder François Gabart, a professional yacht racer and the fastest sailor to circumnavigate the globe solo.

The trimaran, with two smaller hulls on either side of a central hull, will be propelled by sails extending 200 feet (61 meters) above the waterline, with onboard power for living and working quarters, plus temperature-controlled cargo holds, provided by solar panels and two hydro generators. Vela says it will travel at an average speed of 14 knots — equivalent to the speed of a modern container ship — between New Jersey and Normandy or Bordeaux, France.

Um, OK? Spanish galleons were capable of carrying 500 to 1,200 tons of cargo back in 1600s and 1700s. Nice to see that the climate cult has made progress.

The vessel can hold approximately five times the capacity of a cargo plane, says the company. Vela positions its services somewhere between conventional sea and air freight: quicker than sea freight, slower than air freight, and with much lower emissions than either.

Maybe, but planes can make it across the Atlantic in what, 7 hours or so? Not the 3-5 days it will take a cargo boat. Depending upon wind. Storms.

The vessel carries around 100 times less than a conventional container ship, meaning loading and unloading times are shorter, he added, and its size means it can enter secondary port terminals that have less congestion and quicker docking times.

Progress!

Vela is not the only French company launching purely wind-powered freight. Grand de Sail Logistics is offering 18-day port-to-port services between Saint-Malo, Brittany and New York on its cargo sailboat, which has a 50-ton capacity. And in the UK, Shipped by Sail operates as a broker for the transportation of low-volume, ethically produced goods, like Colombian coffee and Portuguese olive oil.

They should have these for passengers. Anyone professing membership in the cult should be required to take these instead of fossil fueled fligths.

Despite Being Super Popular, Only One Democrat Voted For SAVE Act In House

By William Teach February 13, 2026 – 10:30 am

They do not care what Americans want. They believe Americans should do what the Elites say

Only One House Democrat Voted In Favor of Voter ID to Prove Citizenship in US Elections

Only one House Democrat voted in favor of legislation that would require voter ID to prove citizenship in elections. The U.S. House of Representatives was able to pass the election integrity bill, despite opposition from all but one Democrat — a stark reminder why maintaining a majority in Congress is crucial for Republicans in today’s polarized political climate.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX)’s SAVE America Act, which seeks to keep non-citizens from voting in U.S. federal elections, passed 218 to 213 by the House of Representatives on Wednesday, and could go into effect as early as this November, according to a report by Fox News.

The only House Democrat who did not vote against the election integrity initiative was Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX).

The bill is an updated version of the initial Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which was never taken up in the Senate after being passed by the House in April last year.

In addition to requiring photo ID to vote in federal elections, the new version of the legislation also aims to establish a federal proof of citizenship requirement in the voter registration process, as well as mandate that states maintain voter rolls purged of ineligible individuals.

Of course Democrats did this

(Dallas Express) A Pew Research Center survey found that 83% of Americans favor requiring government-issued photo ID to vote, with 95% of Republicans and 71% of Democrats in agreement; only 16% oppose it.

Gallup polling indicated 84% support for photo ID requirements, including 98% of Republicans, 84% of independents, and 67% of Democrats. Separately, 83% back proof of citizenship for first-time voter registration.

Additional surveys from Napolitan News Service and The Center Square also reflect strong backing, according to the White House.

CNN reporter Harry Enten was quoted as saying, “The bottom line is this: Voter ID is NOT controversial in this country. A photo ID to vote is NOT controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree.”

Oh, but, it gets more funny

Why, exactly, do Democrats not want people to identify who they are when voting?

I’m also betting if Republicans can get it passed in the Senate the Usual Liberal Groups will sue, involving friendly judges.

Surprise: Newsom Pledges To Sue Trump Over Ending Endangerment Finding

By William Teach February 13, 2026 – 7:15 am

Ending the Obama era endangerment finding has made the authoritarian Elites very mad

Trump revokes landmark climate change rule; Newsom vows to sue

The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressive move by the president to roll back climate regulations.

The rule finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency rescinds a 2009 government declaration, issued by the Obama administration, known as the endangerment finding that determined carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare. (snip)

Legal challenges are certain for the action, which repeals all greenhouse gas emissions standards for cars and trucks, and could unleash a broader undoing of climate regulations on power plants, factories, and oil and gas facilities, experts say.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom blasted the move Thursday, and vowed to challenge it in court.

“Donald Trump may put corporate greed ahead of communities and families,” Newsom said. “But California will not stand by. We will sue to challenge this illegal action, and we will continue fighting climate pollution here in our state. We will continue to lead because the lives and livelihoods of our people depend on it.”

How, exactly, was repealing a rule illegal? Nowhere within federal law is CO2 or other greenhouse gases deemed pollutants. It was simply a political decision based on faulty and cult based “science”. Any rule that’s not required by duly passed law can be ended.

Environmental groups described Trump’s decision Thursday as the single biggest attack in U.S. history against federal authority to address climate change.

No matter what else they say, no matter what mushy muddle, that is the whole point: empowering the federal government to run everyone’s lives. All while the Elites excuse themselves. Remember this?

Tom Homan Says Minnesota Immigration Surge Ending

By William Teach February 13, 2026 – 7:00 am

It had to eventually happen, right?

Minnesota immigration enforcement surge is ending, Trump border tsar says

The US immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota will end, President Donald Trump’s border tsar told reporters on Thursday.

Tom Homan said Trump had approved his request to conclude the operation, adding he would stay in Minnesota “a little longer to oversee the drawdown, to ensure its success”.

Homan said Operation Metro Surge had resulted in many illegal immigrants who had committed violent crimes being detained for deportation. But the surge also sparked nationwide protests when two US citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, were killed by immigration officers.

Officials in Minnesota have been able to “greatly reduce the number of targets” for immigration enforcement, Homan said, adding that Operation Metro Surge was a “great success”.

More than 4,000 undocumented immigrants had been arrested, according to Homan, including men he said were convicted of rape and other sexual misconduct.

Homan said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has always had a presence in Minnesota and will continue to have one.

Of course, then we get nuts like the Daily Mail

The surge was always going to end at some point, that way they could move it elsewhere. That it lasted this long is wild. They arrested a lot of illegals, and I bet they obtained a lot of information on the Somalis who committed fraud. So, which Democrat run city is next?

Obama’s Crazy Endangerment Finding Ending Right Now

By William Teach February 12, 2026 – 1:29 pm

This is exciting and great news

Anyhow, this is what I had scheduled to post at 3

Trump’s plan to wipe out US climate rules relies on EPA rescinding its 2009 endangerment finding – but will courts allow it?

In 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency formally declared that greenhouse gas emissions, including from vehicles and fossil fuel power plants, endanger public health and welfare. The decision, known as the endangerment finding, was based on years of evidence, and it has underpinned EPA actions on climate change ever since.

The Trump administration now wants to tear up that finding as it tries to roll back climate regulations on everything from vehicles to industries.

But the move might not be as simple as the administration hopes.

There’s no question that rescinding the endangerment finding would be challenged in court. The world just lived through the three hottest years on record, evidence of worsening climate change is stronger now than ever before, and people across the U.S. are increasingly experiencing the harm firsthand.

Several legal issues have the potential to stop the EPA’s effort. They include emails submitted in a court case that suggest political appointees sought to direct the scientific review that the EPA is using to defend its plan. A federal judge also ruled on Jan. 30 that the Department of Energy violated the law when it handpicked five researchers to write that climate science review. While that ruling doesn’t necessarily stop the EPA, it raises questions.

Well, you know the cultists (who do not practice what they preach) will challenge this in court, but, at the end of the day, the Supreme Court is going to rule, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they do it quickly. And kill the endangerment finding. Seriously, liberals think their insane stuff is never allowed to be ended.

The endangerment finding is really the backbone of the Fascist doomsday cult. It’s really the backbone of the Fascists finding a way to use ‘climate change’ as a way to institute authoritarianism nationwide.

Iran’s Working Hard To Protect Its Nuclear Facility From Potential Strikes

By William Teach February 12, 2026 – 10:30 am

They’re waiting for things to go boom

Iran rushes to protect Natanz, its most crucial nuclear site, from potential US strike

High-resolution satellite imagery of Iran’s largest and most crucial remaining nuclear facility shows a recent rush to protect it from potential American or Israeli aerial attack, according to the Institute for Science & International Security (ISIS).

Satellite imagery from February 10 appears to show that Tehran has taken advantage of delays in any such attack since the December 28 protests started to better defend the facility.

The facility in question is a large tunnel complex at Kolang-Gaz La Mountain, aka Pickaxe Mountain, a mountain near the series of Natanz nuclear facilities, which were the center of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program until the Israel-Iran War of June 2025.

Most of the other Natanz facilities, including the existing centrifuges at the time, were destroyed in June 2025, but for reasons that have not been fully explained to date, this facility was not struck.

According to the think tank, the relatively new enormous underground facility is still not thought to be operational, one of the reasons it may not have been struck previously, but there are concerns that it could be used to enrich uranium or even for some kind of clandestine rush to a small nuclear weapon at some point if not dealt with.

If Trump and Israel want to destroy the facility they will. It’s all about denying Iran the ability to build a nuclear weapon, which, let’s be honest, they are not very good at, considering how long they’ve been trying. I mean, it took US scientists 3 years to develop the world’s 1st nuclear bomb, starting from scratch. Iran has been at it a lot longer even with all the knowledge from half a century of countries building nuclear weapons.

They are right to be worried

Pentagon orders second carrier strike group to prepare to deploy to Middle East: report

The Pentagon has reportedly ordered a second aircraft carrier strike group to prepare to deploy to the Middle East in support of potential military action against Iran.

President Trump has not yet given the carrier group the greenlight to deploy, but an order could be issued “in a matter of hours,” the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday night, citing US officials.

The deployment would likely come from the US East Coast, and one carrier is being prepped to head out to sea in two weeks, an official told the publication.

The USS George H.W. Bush is currently conducting training exercises off the coast of Virginia and could be the carrier that ends up deploying.

The warship is capable of launching F-35 stealth fighter jets, which would likely be needed for a strike inside Iran, according to the outlet.

Or, could be misdirection, and ships launch a whole bunch of cruise missiles. Or some B2s drop seriously heavy ordinance. Maybe the F35s simply go and destroy the hell out of Iran’s radar and missile defense systems across the country, then some B52s drop a buttload of bombs. Maybe it is time to go old school and decapitate Iran’s leadership, because, otherwise, the nation will never change. Plenty of protesters in Iran would agree.

Bummer: Brits Care Less And Less About Hotcoldwetdry

By William Teach February 12, 2026 – 7:15 am

I wonder why?

The ‘culture war’ on net zero: Why have Brits stopped supporting climate policies?

The UK’s “sense of urgency” on achieving net zero and supporting climate policies has taken a drastic tumble, according to a new survey.

In 2019, the UK became the first major economy in the world to pass laws to end its contribution to global warming. The ambitious target legally binds the nation to bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050, compared with its previous target of at least an 80 per cent reduction from 1990 levels. (snip)

In 2021, surveys found that 54 per cent of the British public believed the UK government should achieve net zero before the 2050 target. Now, this has fallen to just 29 per cent.

The study*, carried out by the Policy Institute at King’s College London, Ipsos and the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations also found that the proportion who feel the UK either doesn’t need to reach net zero by 2050 – or shouldn’t have a net zero target at all – has risen from nine per cent to 26 per cent over the same period.

Researchers warn that between 2024 and 2025, support for climate-driven policies such as low-traffic neighbourhoods, taxes on those who fly more, subsidies for electric vehicle (EV) purchases and a tax on environmentally damaging foods have all declined.

At the same time, opposition to some of these measures is now greater than support for them, marking a “stark reversal” of earlier attitudes.

I wonder if the study will jump into why?

Despite the majority of all age groups still favouring net zero by 2050, the percentage of 16-34-year-olds backing the target has dropped from 59 per cent in 2021 to 37 per cent in 2050.

Now, that has to hurt. If the yutes are bowing out of the cult, that does not bode well for the cult going forward. Bummer!

Anyhow, they try and blame the wider culture wars for diverting the attention of Brits, as well as the media focusing less on it. I’d suggest that people have had quite enough of the high taxes, high fees, high cost of energy, high cost of living. That they’re tired of government taking away their free speech, both because of climate cult beliefs and because the UK government has gone quite Fascist. They care more about 3rd worlders and Islamists being imported and given priority over actual British citizens. They do not want to be told what they can and can’t do, what they can and can’t buy, can and can’t eat. Where they can live. And so many more real world issues.

Doing Something about ‘climate change’ plays well in the 1st World when things are going well. When real world issues intrude no one actually cares.

Don’t think the Elites will give up, though. They will keep trying to shove cult business down the throats of the British citizens regardless.
