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.

WHO Is Now A Green Climate (scam) Fund Entity

By William Teach March 27, 2026 – 7:00 am

I guess this means they will have more of Other People’s confiscated money flowing throw that they can treat as a slush fund

WHO is now a Green Climate Fund accredited entity

The World Health Organization (WHO) has today received accreditation by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), a fund for climate finance that was established within the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The accreditation will unlock new funding to protect communities worldwide from the health impacts of climate change.

“Climate and health action saves lives,” said Dr Ruediger Krech, Director of the department of Environment, Climate Change, One Health and Migration at WHO, “Climate financing will ensure that the health sector is prepared to meet the demands of the climate crisis without contributing further emissions to climate change.”

This landmark decision is the result of extensive preparations including high-level exchanges between the Director General of WHO and the Executive Director of the GCF.

WHO has over 25 years of climate and health policy and technical leadership, and over 15 years of implementing climate and health programmes in over 30 countries. Extensive country presence and partnerships with ministries of health and governmental agencies position WHO as a vital partner in addressing global climate and health challenges. The combined strength of WHO and GCF will lead to direct climate and health programmes and the development of health-promoting interventions at the country level by leveraging a network of health ministries and key partners.

And what percentage of the money will never make it to the recipients/projects? I wonder if they will allow bi-yearly, unannounced audits?

According to estimates, just 2% of adaptation funding and only 0.5% of multilateral climate funding go to health, leaving the health sector with the greatest unmet demand. WHO aims to address these needs for climate finance support and empower national health ministries to develop climate-resilient health systems, reduce emissions and bolster climate-health action across sectors.

In other words, WHO wants its piece of the scam pie. Why should others get rich of siphoning the money, leaving WHO out of it till now?

Strange: Big Cities Lost Lots Of Population After Immigration Crackdown

By William Teach March 27, 2026 – 6:45 am

Now, why would all these “undocumented immigrants” leave?

Immigration Slowdown Hits Every Metro Area in the U.S., Census Shows

In the Laredo metro area, on the Texas border, immigration screeched to a virtual standstill.

El Centro, a metro that has historically served as a desert gateway into California, lost more people to other countries than it gained.

In Denver and its suburbs, the net immigration rate fell by almost three-quarters. In the Chicago area, it was slashed by nearly two-thirds.

Every metro area in the United States, in fact, experienced lower immigration rates during the year leading up to July 2025 compared with the previous year, according to new estimates released on Thursday by the Census Bureau.

In about 75 percent of all counties, overall population growth — including immigration, domestic migration, births and deaths — either slowed or turned negative. Only 25 percent grew faster.

Where did they all go?

Some of the strongest population gains came in suburban counties, especially in the South, which continued to grow rapidly as they attracted people from other parts of the country.

About 18,000 people moved into Pasco County, Fla., a suburban community about 30 miles outside Tampa, enough to increase its population by nearly 2.8 percent.

Unfortunately, some of this is simply urban liberals leaving the hellholes they voted for.

But for counties along the Mexican border, things looked quite different. In contrast to years when they experienced a surge in immigration, total populations in more than half of these counties dipped in the new estimates.

In Webb County, Texas, which includes Laredo, net international migration dropped by about 95 percent. It gained fewer than 700 people total in the new estimates.

So, the illegals and fake asylum seekers left and stopped coming? I think the reason is related to Orange

Some of those counties lost residents to other parts of the United States, a trend that has been ongoing for years. But immigration was a major driver of the decline. Net international migration across all those urban counties fell to about 932,000 from about two million.

Those new immigrants often required a lot of resources and assistance, said Julia Gelatt, an associate director at the Migration Policy Institute, a research center in Washington. “So some cities,” she added, “might be relieved to have a pause in those people who need initial assistance.”

Well, if they want to come to the U.S. then they need to make sure they can pay for themselves, not have the US taxpayers do it. This upsets Democrats quite a bit since they count on all these foreigners to vote for Democrats.

Climate Cult Wants Farming To Go Back To 1499

By William Teach March 26, 2026 – 3:00 pm

Most Warmists have zero idea how food is grown and raised: they just know it shows up in their supermarkets. And, because they are a doomsday cult, they cannot just mind their own business

Modern agriculture is collapsing under climate change. Indigenous farming has answers.

In the last five years, Indigenous agriculture has received attention in academia as an alternative model, though on a smaller scale, to modern farming systems. Research has shown that some traditional farming systems, such as growing maize, beans and squash together, protect soil health, reduce biodiversity loss and support Indigenous knowledge, known as traditional ecological knowledge.

Yeah, I want to listen to “academia” which offers degrees ending in “Studies” for $50K a year. These mostly uber-white liberals think they know what is best for the poor, poor Indigenous

How many of these elements from traditional farming can successfully translate into larger crop production models, when little research defines their economic value, is a question Kamaljit Sangha, a researcher in ecological economics at Charles Darwin University, wanted to explore in a new study published earlier this month in the journal Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems.

“How do we take it from the perspective where there are holistic and multiple values [of Indigenous farming], which are mostly hidden in the current way of measuring the importance of these food systems?” said Sangha. “The key message we wanted to get out is that if we highlight the non-monetary values of these food systems, we hope that this can attract more attention from policy decision makers and governments to support these indigenous peoples and local communities’ food systems.”

When assessing how many publications include rigorous empirical evidence to measure potential scalability and sustainability for Indigenous farming systems against mainstream agriculture, “there is a gap between advocacy and evidence,” the report read.

Alright, once you start yammering about “advocacy” this is pure on cult

In the study, Sangha and Charles Darwin University researchers found that when reviewing 49 published research articles on Indigenous peoples and local communities, known as IPLCs, most literature highlighted the benefits of communities’ traditional farming practices. This comes at a crucial vantage point, as global industrialized agricultural systems are swept up by climate change risks. The study also found a lack of research examining the quantitative productivity and scalability of IPLC farming, an area Sangha hopes to see more literature on in the near future.

So, their entire study was sitting in their air conditioned office and reading other journals? Huh

As average temperatures climb, climate change is decreasing biodiversity, altering nutritional values and degrading soil health. These effects are disrupting global food production and Indigenous food systems alike. Currently, food systems are responsible for 26 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Obviously, the idea is to grow less food. And, with less food that means there needs to be fewer humans. But, the cultists rarely want to say they want population reduction

The study also argues that merging the two systems, rather than viewing them as opposites, is required to tackle the climate crisis. With government investment and targeted policy, IPLC agriculture can build a resilient wall against threats driven by climate change, while modern farming industries can learn from these traditional ways of growing food. Otherwise, both systems face the loss of ecological, economic and cultural resources.

In other words, with government in charge of the food systems we’ll have a carbon free Modern Socialist utopia! Weird how this almost always ends with “Big Government”, eh?

Un-Funny Jimmy Kimmel Denigrates Blue Collar Workers With Shot At Markwayne Mullin

By William Teach March 26, 2026 – 10:30 am

It’s no wonder his ratings stink, even most Democrats do not want to watch this trash light night. They do not even want it on while settling down to fall asleep

Jimmy Kimmel’s dig at ‘plumber’ DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin ripped as ‘elite’ by online critics

ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was called out for mocking newly confirmed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin as an “unqualified” plumber during his monologue Tuesday night.

“Trump’s got a whole new generation of thinkers lined up, including his newly confirmed secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne ‘Chuck Mike Bruce Dave’ Melon — Mullin. Maybe melon’s better,” Kimmel said. “He’s the now former senator of Oklahoma. Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber. That’s right. We have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now. It worked for Super Mario. Why not Markwayne?”

He continued, “But honestly — I mean, if Trump is going to keep picking these unqualified people to run the department, why not have more fun with it? I mean, next time instead of Markwayne, how about Lil Wayne for Homeland Security? At least we can get a concert out of it, right?”

Kimmel’s comments were viewed as elitist by many commentators on X, who accused the comedian of mocking working-class professions.

Obviously, the wacko elitist Democrat base is totally behind Kimmel, but, how about the working class? It would be funny as hell if he had a plumbing issue and no plumber will help him out. Or electricians, HVAC, anyone else. Really, what Kimmel said is the thought of the Dem elites: that the Working Class is below them.

BTW, Kimmel doesn’t have an actual college degree, either. And you know who the Framers of the Constitution envisioned going to Congress? The average Joe. Regular citizens, who would go do the job for a few terms then go home and live under the laws they passed. Representatives would represent The People. That average people would do the jobs in the Executive Branch, because they are part of We The People.

Chevron Tells PRC They Might Be Leaving

By William Teach March 26, 2026 – 7:00 am

I’m so hoping that Chevron will tell the People’s Republik Of California they will no longer sell their production in the state, especially to the state government

Chevron threatening to leave California

Chevron said it is threatening to close its oil refineries in California due to overregulation, which the oil company said is contributing to price spikes amid the war in Iran.

Due to California’s taxes, emissions rules and other regulations, which hit gas costs harder than in many other states, the price per gallon is well over the national average.

Tehran’s decision to effectively shut off the Strait of Hormuz has left millions of barrels of crude oil stationary, hurting economies in Asian countries, which heavily rely on oil from the Middle East.

In turn, Chevron, which imports fuel from China, South Korea and Singapore, is facing the brunt of the blockade. Amid the energy crisis, Beijing has banned fuel exports.

Andy Walz, who heads Chevron’s oil refining efforts, said leaders in California should be worried about the possibility of a fuel deficit in the Golden State.

First, why do we need to import fuel? America can produce more than enough. S. Korea does a pretty good business export. As for China, they import crude and export refined. So, apparently, rather than allowing production in California, which has lots of reserves, and refining it, because they’re worried about climate doom, the PRC imports it from those three countries and it comes on fossil fueled ships across the Pacific.

The Chevron executive said California has decided to “rely on imports,” which is playing a “dangerous game” when it comes to the fuel market.

Walz has urged California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and other officials to consider boosting in-state oil production and reevaluating its proposed incentives for companies that utilize renewable energy.

Even if Newsom wanted to do something, no way that the far left PRC state assembly allows it.

Chevron, which has operated in California for more than 140 years, says others are likely to follow suit.

“California refineries supply a broad range of transportation fuels, including aviation fuels that are critical to commercial and military operations, and they operate near major ports, military installations, and strategic hubs serving the Pacific region,” Chevron wrote in a letter to Newsom earlier this month.

And they well might. And, if they leave, do they sell in the PRC at all?

Federal Appeals Court OKs Mass Detention Of Illegals

By William Teach March 26, 2026 – 6:45 am

If the illegals do not want to be held they can voluntarily deport

Appeals court upholds ICE mass detention policy

A federal appeals court upheld the Trump administration’s policy allowing mass detention of migrants awaiting deportation without bond.

In a 2-1 ruling Wednesday, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals determined that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was justified in detaining people without the possibility of bond.

The GOP-appointed panel’s decision specifically applies to the detention of Joaquin Herrera Avila, a Mexican citizen detained without bond by DHS agents last summer in Minneapolis. A Minnesota district judge previously granted Herrera Avila’s habeas corpus petition last October, which the government later appealed.

Judge Bobby Shepherd, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush, wrote the majority opinion, which was joined by Trump-appointed Judge L. Steven Grasz. Judge Ralph Erickson, who was also appointed by the current president, penned the dissenting opinion.

“The court now holds that Avila — and millions of others — are subject to mandatory detention under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A),” Erickson wrote in his dissent. “In doing so, the court does not rely on recent Congressional action or a change in the regulations governing detention but rather engages in a novel interpretation of ‘alien seeking admission’ that eluded the courts and five previous presidential administrations.”

That part of the code says

Subject to subparagraphs (B) and (C), in the case of an alien who is an applicant for admission, if the examining immigration officer determines that an alien seeking admission is not clearly and beyond a doubt entitled to be admitted, the alien shall be detained for a proceeding under section 1229a of this title.

There’s nothing in there about bond, about being released. It says to be held. And held they shall be until such time as they have their proceeding, and then most will be sent away from the U.S. Erickson can be against it, but, hold them is the law as passed by Congress.

The Eighth Circuit Court covers Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. Wednesday’s ruling is especially significant for the future of detention cases in Minnesota, where DHS led its largest ever immigration enforcement operation earlier this year.

The decision follows a similar ruling from the Fifth Circuit in February, which applies to district courts in Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana, after a federal judge moved to throw out the Trump administration’s policy.

So, let’s send all the illegals to these states, forget anywhere else, that way no need to deal with any other suits from Democrats trying to protect illegals.

Your Fault: Earth’s Climate Is Out Of Balance Or Something

By William Teach March 25, 2026 – 3:06 pm

I was going to discuss this wackadoodle pure cult article

Why emotional resilience should be at the heart of climate change education

The mental health effects of climate change are receiving growing attention, including how children and young people are uniquely affected. Supporting young people to build and sustain good mental health and wellbeing, and to feel prepared for life and work in an uncertain world, has never been more urgent. However, action is still lagging behind need – including in education.

It’s pretty much as wacko as it gets. But, then this anti-science piece

Earth’s climate is now ‘out of balance,’ new global report warns

Sherman Potter Bull CookiesThe Earth’s climate system is now “out of balance,” according to a new global report — with scientists warning that a key measure of warming has reached its highest level on record.

The latest “State of the Global Climate” report from the World Meteorological Organization finds that the planet is retaining more heat than it releases back into space, a growing gap known as Earth’s energy imbalance. And that imbalance is now accelerating.

In 2025, it reached its highest level since modern measurements began in 1960, the report found, signaling that heat is building up across the planet faster than before. At its core, the concept is simple: the Earth absorbs energy from the sun and reflects some of it back into space. But rising greenhouse gas emissions are disrupting that balance.

How do we know that this is different from previous Holocene warm periods? They have not been measured. If there is no direct and factual comparison there’s no way to know if anything unusual is happening now. How much is simply UHI and land use, localized effects from what Mankind does, as opposed to a tiny increase in CO2? Seriously, we’re only talking about a 1.7F increase in global temperatures since 1850, nothing to doomsday about

Scientists and advocates say the findings underscore the urgency of reducing greenhouse gas emissions; the World Wildlife Fund released a statement detailing that the world isn’t accelerating climate action fast enough.

“We can bring balance back to the world’s climate, but the window for us to do so before climate impacts spiral out of control is closing fast. The window for climate action is not closing on its own – it is being closed by delay,” Manuel Pulgar-Vidal, WWF Global Climate and Energy Lead, wrote in a statement. “Solutions that work exist, but without implementation at speed and scale by governments, the private sector and others, the world will not rise to the challenge of addressing the climate crisis … To turn promises into real results just requires the will to do so.”

And there we go, government must Do Something. Funny how that seems to be the answer. Yet, again, Warmists rarely make any changes in their own lives voluntarily, eh?
