Bummer: Trump Goes After Immigration Squish Salazar

By William Teach September 29, 2026 – 7:00 am

Pretty much few Republicans care, because Salazar trotted out her Dignity Act, pretty much amnesty

Trump turns on Salazar after Florida Republican challenges his immigration crackdown

President Donald Trump on Saturday escalated his criticism of Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.), amplifying a series of social media posts attacking the Florida Republican and, in multiple instances, calling for her replacement ahead of her election in just over a month.

Trump reposted more than a dozen messages criticizing Salazar on Truth Social, the president’s social media platform, including one user’s post that read: “So we need a NEW Republican to Replace Salazar.” Several Trump loyalists, including Laura Loomer, have for months called on the president to abandon his endorsement of her.

Salazar last week released a campaign ad filmed in front of the White House challenging Trump’s immigration crackdown. In the ad, she said his administration’s enforcement efforts had “gone too far” and warned that Hispanic voters who helped Trump win the White House in 2024 felt betrayed. Recent public polling has shown Trump’s approval among Latino voters in decline.

Other posts accused the three-term congressmember of betraying Trump — echoing long-standing criticism from MAGA that the Florida lawmaker is pro “amnesty” as an immigration policy, a characterization that she has repeatedly denied.

I mean, yeah, she’s a wackball with her immigration stance, which is much like Bush 43 and Lindsay Grahamnesty. And some other squishes. But, I have to wonder if this is a way for Trump to help her win in her district, playing some Politics 101, knowing that other than her immigration Crazy she is a solid Trump supporter.

The Cuban American member of Congress represents one of the most Hispanic districts in the country, where over 70% of the electorate is Hispanic. She also won her primary handily with over 80% of the vote.

I have a feeling that it’s all misdirection.

Jew Haters Threaten To Boycott Kimmel Over Gal Gadot

By William Teach September 28, 2026 – 5:00 pm

These Nazis are insane, and, Kimmel is learning about friendly fire

Fans Are Threatening To ‘Boycott’ After Jimmy Kimmel Hosts Gal Gadot On His Show

Cancel Culture Friendly FireJimmy Kimmel is currently under fire after having the controversial Gal Gadot on his late-night talk show, prompting online backlash.

The Wonder Woman star was one of the most recent guests on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the comedian’s famous talk show, which has been making a comeback following his temporary suspension ordered by ABC and encouraged by President Trump. After Gal made her appearance on-air and the pair spoke about a variety of topics, some social media users expressed disappointment in Jimmy for having her on, considering her controversial views and statements on the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

The fuck is so controversial about defending her home country, Israel, for which she spent time in the military, and which was attacked by Hamas, which was supported by the Palestinians in Gaza? It really is time to start referring to these people as Nazis, since they really do hate Jews and seem to want them ended.

The appearance by the 41-year-old actress drew backlash online, with some viewers questioning why Jimmy chose to feature her, given her public association with Israel. Gal, who served in the Israel Defense Forces and has spoken publicly in support of Israel and Israeli hostages following the October 7th attacks, has faced criticism from pro-Palestinian activists and others who object to her stance on the Israel-Gaza conflict.

Criticism for defending those who were attacked, for supporting the hostages?

“He has no spine or humanity,” commented an Instagram user.

One user called for a “boycott” of his show, as another commented, “Why would he do that?”

“Since learning that, I’ve stopped watching him,” a former fan wrote.

“He is a big disappointment,” added another

Granted, randos, but, it is humorous watching the cancel culture gator coming for him

Hotcoldwetdry Is Now Coming For Vanilla

By William Teach September 28, 2026 – 3:33 pm

I blame you

Climate Change Is Threatening Your Favorite Flavors

Vanilla may seem like one of the most basic flavors, but keeping it on the menu is anything but simple. Much of the world’s natural vanilla comes from Madagascar, where increasingly erratic weather, cyclones and drought threaten a crop with an outsized role in the global food industry.

“If you want natural vanilla, there’s an 80% chance that it comes from Madagascar,” Yuvraj Arora, president of the Taste division and Chief Commercial Officer at IFF, told Newsweek during a fireside chat at the publishing company’s The Future of Food and Agriculture Forum in New York City.

Often derided as a simple, basic flavor, vanilla is actually a critical ingredient in the food industry, “one of the most important flavor tonalities,” explained Arora, which is why IFF has been working on securing a stable – and sustainable – supply of these aromatic seed pods since 2010.

To deliver this, every step along the value chain matters, from farmers’ fields all the way to the grocery store shelf, the executive explained to the audience. “This is where I’m proud of the entire flavor industry,” said Arora. “We’ve all made investments in that area to make sure that we are able to … through education, through science, through agriscience, help the farmers,” so they can manage supply chain volatility and deal with the impacts of climate change.

It’s always some sort of doom. But, then, you look back and realize that it’s all a bunch of mule fritters and scaremongering.

Bill Gates Says AI Could Kill A Billion

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

The prophecies of Doom continue. Do the doomers think this help?

Bill Gates warns artificial intelligence ‘powerful enough’ to cause ‘a billion deaths’ if unchecked

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates warned that artificial intelligence (AI) could cause “a billion deaths” if left unchecked in the latest push to regulate AI on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

During his interview, Gates, who previously warned that AI could be the “greatest equalizer” or “worst source of injustice” without some level of human regulation, stopped short of answering whether the technology could “end all of humanity” but argued that it could drive events that would lead to significant deaths.

“AI is certainly powerful enough to drive events that, you know, cause a billion deaths,” Gates said. “You know, so even though it’s pretty hard to get to 100%, there’s never been a weapon as powerful as the combination of people with ill intent using the latest AI tools.”

Gates is among several tech giants who have put forth warnings about AI, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Despite this, President Donald Trump has rejected calls to ease back on AI development in an effort to compete with other global powers like China.

Is it the job of the US government to restrict the development of AI? I’d like to see exactly where they have the authority. I really don’t think the commerce clause gives the power.

Gates disagreed, saying there “absolutely” needed to be more focus on regulation and legislation passed by Congress rather than concerns about global competition.

So, since Gates was essentially involved in both Microsoft and Apple (with a $150 million investment in Apple in 1997 to save the company), what is he doing to restrict AI in the products of both companies? Anything?

“The problem is that the rest of the world is either discounting this or just thinking of this as a competition. And it’s very scary that we don’t have all of the thinkers saying, ‘How do we want to shape this?'” Gates said.

Maybe they aren’t buying into the prophecy of doom, especially when those pushing doom fail to restrict their own products.

Parents “Must Go Political” To Solve Climate Doom Or Something

By William Teach September 28, 2026 – 7:15 am

Must they? This sounds rather authoritarian

Parenting must be political in the shadow of climate change and the planet our children will inherit

In 2016, I became a mother for the first time. Many first-time mothers experience a profound shift in perspective and concern for the health and wellbeing of their new baby, which can become an intense focus on their child’s health, safety and nutrition.

My “new mother” anxiety became fixated on climate change and the degradation of the planet she would inherit. I spent the first few years of her life becoming increasingly preoccupied with the subject, endeavouring to change every aspect of my lifestyle to limit the impact I believed I was having on her future and on the planet.

Sounds like she went full cult and probably ignored her child and husband

Those years were a desperately anxious time for me, but in the process I became increasingly knowledgeable about the subject. I soon realised whatever individual changes I made would have virtually no impact on a planetary phenomenon of this scale.

Through deep dives into the science, I came to understand climate change was itself a symptom of the way we have organised our societies and economies. What was required was change at a societal, economic and global level.

Why, because you say so? Get f*cked

As a result, I turned my focus towards politics, because I saw political action as one of the principal means through which change could happen at national and international level.

My growing awareness coincided with the emergence of Greta Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion, and the rise of Green parties across Europe in the latter part of the 2010s. There seemed to be a rapidly growing public awareness of the climate crisis, reflected in the ‘Green Wave’ in Irish politics at the time.

So, wackos being wackos

Too often, people are presented with the absurdity of small individual behavioural changes as an adequate response to a crisis they are simultaneously told is structural, economic and global in scale.

Ultimately, one of the most effective things any of us can do is engage in our communities and political system, and push relentlessly for change at national and international level.

As we strive for meaningful change, we should be attuned to our concerns being mocked, dismissed or shamed. Shame is one of the most powerful and corrosive emotions for a socially attuned species. It can be an extraordinarily effective and manipulative weapon.

Really, this kind of crap is pre-COVID thought, where fewer people want government involved in forcing them to live a certain life, drive certain vehicles, eat certain things, etc. People may Believe in theory, but, these days people are backing away from the cult in government

There is nothing shameful about demanding that governments act quickly and effectively in response to climate change. There is nothing irrational about being frightened by what the science is telling us. And there is nothing extreme about demanding that the scale of the political response reflect the scale of the threat.

I’m not sure how many times I have written and said it, but, why is it that the cult members always want government to force Everyone Else to live a certain life while never talking about how they’ve changed their own lives?

The Horror: Trump Personally Considering Building MLB Stadium In Grand Tetons

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

It’s horrible!

I totally have to agree with JoJo, being someone who wants national parks to stay pristine

Trump administration considers building baseball park in Grand Teton National Park

Major League Baseball has approached the Trump administration about hosting a game at a national park, officials from the White House and MLB confirmed Saturday.

The administration has scouted locations in Grand Teton National Park to build a baseball park to host an MLB game, according to two other people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Grand Teton is the country’s eighth-most-visited national park and is famous for its breathtaking views of the Teton Range of the Rocky Mountains. National parks are among the country’s most protected federal lands, and constructing a sports facility at Grand Teton could set a new precedent for the use of vast national park land in the Western United States.

An MLB official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, said the league approached the administration after the success of MLB’s other stand-alone events, such as the recurring Field of Dreams game in Iowa. The idea of playing a game in a national park is one of several that MLB is exploring.

How dare Trump want to do this!

The White House said in a statement that MLB asked the administration “if it was possible to host a game at a national park, similar to the Field of Dreams game.”

“This is not a Presidential directive, nor is it being directed by the White House. It’s also not being driven by the Department of Interior,” the statement said. “Therefore, this is not a White House or Administration priority.”

Lies! All lies! Seriously, though, pretty much every other outlet covered this straight, not trying to push that Orange Man Bad wants to build a stadium in a national park

National Park Service Deputy Director Frank Lands visited Grand Teton National Park in recent days and looked at three potential locations for a baseball park within the park’s boundaries, the two people familiar with the matter said.

One of the sites that Lands visited is already disturbed land that is not pristine park property, these individuals said. Many parks have “bone yards” or storage areas for materials or equipment not being used.

So, basically, just some scouting, nothing decided, totally in the “it’s an idea” phase. And the WP and unhinged liberals online are now thinking about some big MLB level stadium and going moonbat after the crazy headline. But, hey, I wonder how they would act if Biden had proposed this?

Oh Noes: Trump Threatens Entire US Healthcare System

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

Seriously, this headline from the UK Guardian is reminiscent of wacko full moonbat bloggers during the Buuuuuuush admin (if they could even write his name, it was often like *ush), utterly hyperventilating, not a high end news outlet (which does admit they are leftists)

In latest blow to Obamacare, Trump is threatening the entire US health system

The Trump administration is removing 760,000 people enrolled in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace on allegations of fraud, officials said on Tuesday – adding to previous efforts to chip away at federally subsidized insurance programs and likely causing some of the lowest-income Americans to forego healthcare, experts said.

The US government is also investigating about 420,000 people whom they suspect of fraud, and they are putting a six-month enrollment moratorium on new agents and brokers selling Obamacare policies, officials said at a press conference.

The removed enrollees are a mixture of “phantoms” and “ghosts” as well as people who don’t meet the eligibility requirements of Obamacare, said Mehmet Oz, the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Um, yeah, looks like they shouldn’t be on Ocare, and fraud means money diverted from people who actually need it. But, apparently, this is Bad in Liberal World.

“These are not real people,” he said, claiming that expelling them from the ACA marketplace would save the federal government $2.2bn.

That could go a long way towards helping real people, right? Oh, wait, sorry, Orange Man Bad.

“There’s no transparency about who these people are and why they’re being disenrolled, but I think it’s a reasonable concern that some number are being disenrolled inappropriately,” said Edwin Park, a research professor at the Center for Children and Families at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy. “A common theme here is to make it incredibly burdensome for individuals to enroll and stay enrolled in their health coverage.”

He has zero proof, but, hey, why not give him time because Orange Man Bad.

Officials followed an unusual path to verify ACA enrollment, experts said. The administration sent to insurers a list of more than a million people suspected of being fraudulently enrolled in the ACA marketplace, also known as Obamacare. Officials said on Tuesday that they used AI tools to identify the enrollees.

The people were identified by three factors: they’d been enrolled by a broker or agent, had all of their ACA premium paid by the tax credit, and they had not supplied social security numbers or immigration documents.

Um, aliens, legal or not, are not supposed to get Ocare.

These disenrollments are happening in the context of major cuts to the marketplace. Premiums skyrocketed, doubling or tripling for some enrollees, after Republicans opposed extending the enhanced tax credits at the end of last year. Alongside other financial pressures, like higher energy and food costs, “there’s going to be an increasing number of people who can no longer afford their share of the premium”, Park said.

So, what you’re saying is that Ocare failed to bend the curve, and, in fact, increased costs all around? Huh. Sorry, Orange Man Bad.
