Washington Post: Orange Man Bad Turning “Security State” Inwards Or Something

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

Obviously, the Democracy Dies In Darkness wackos saw the 25th anniversary of 9/11 coming in thought “what kind of hit piece can we do about Trump?”

Trump has turned the post-9/11 security state inward to domestic targets

Twenty-five years after the 9/11 attacks, powerful agencies and vast legal authorities created to stop another terrorist catastrophe are being turned inward, with the Trump administration using many of those powers to round up immigrants, battle drug traffickers and target political dissent.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, birthed in response to pre-9/11 intelligence failures, has been central to President Donald Trump’s pushing of false election conspiracies and retribution against his perceived political enemies.

Trump has directed that Joint Terrorism Task Forces, which spread nationwide after 2001 to harness federal and local resources, investigate groups that challenge White House views on immigration, gender and religion. Another post-9/11 creation, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, has aggressively surveilled and rounded up immigrants on Trump’s watch, sometimes catching or killing U.S. citizens in its dragnet.

As to challenging White House views, the WP offers zero evidence. Not one link. As to ICE, well, that’s part of their f’ing job, and, if the wackos didn’t try and run them over they wouldn’t be in the grave now.

As memories of the worst terrorist attack in American history fade, former senior U.S. officials say the rapid remolding of agencies and laws created a quarter-century ago has contributed to a dimming focus on looming external threats. They cite not just anti-U.S. terrorism, which has ebbed but not disappeared, but a host of largely post-2001 challenges including advanced artificial intelligence, cyberthreats, drones and biotechnology.

Wow, they are really swinging for the fences, Orange Man Bad is just bad on everything.

Trump is dismantling or repurposing “almost all of the agencies that were created by the Bush administration to protect us from terrorism,” said John Bellinger III, who was President George W. Bush’s National Security Council legal adviser on Sept. 11, 2001, and helped craft the reforms that followed.

Let’s also not forget that Obama heavily used the powers of the government to go after his “enemies” and the Credentialed Media, including the Washington Post, turned a blind eye. That he, along with Bush and Biden, let in and brought in huge numbers of Muslims who seem to hate America, hate Israel, hate Jews, and support the extremist version of Islam, and want to change America into a Muslim nation.

Yet Trump’s definition of terrorism is far different from his predecessors’. He has designated drug cartels as terrorist groups and used lethal military force dozens of times against alleged narco traffickers. Many former national security officials and legal experts say narcotrafficking does not fit the definition of terrorism because cartel members are motivated by money, not ideology, violence against civilians or overthrow of the U.S. government.

OK, and? What’s the problem? Oh, right, Orange Man Bad.

At home, Trump has targeted leftist groups, including the loose amalgamation of militant antifascism activists known as antifa, which he designated as a domestic terrorist group last year. The Treasury Department said it will pursue financial probes of left-wing groups, including any international support.

You mean the very violent people causing lots of problems? Anyhow, this article continues on and on and on with their TDS whines (here’s a non-paywalled version), and, you know what would be hilarious? If Trump was using all those post 9/11 tools to go after Islamists then the WP would be upset over that, yammering about “Islamophobia”. Let’s also not forget that the leftists, like those at the WP, tend to take the side of the Islamists, just like they did when Hamas attacked Israel. And that outlets like the WP were super upset when Bush used all these same post 9/11 methods against Islamists. That the WP has worked hard since 9/11 to protect Islamists.

Your Fault: Global Boiling Makes Tropical Systems Worse

By William Teach September 10, 2026 – 7:15 am

Did they really stop and consider before publishing this bit of cult propaganda?

Climate change fuels more intense tropical system impacts

We are in the peak of hurricane season. While the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season has been historically quiet, experts say that climate change is partially responsible for more intense tropical system impacts over the years.

Climate change is also increasing the amount of moisture available to hurricanes. Warmer air can hold more water vapor, which can contribute to heavier rainfall. That increases the potential for flooding, including areas well inland from where a hurricane makes landfall. (snip)

It is important to note that climate change will not necessarily lead to more hurricanes overall. Instead, experts are increasingly concerned about changes in hurricane intensity and impacts.

Even during a quiet hurricane season, it’s best to stay prepared. Know your evacuation zone, have multiple ways to receive weather alerts, and make sure your emergency supplies are ready before a storm threatens. For more tips, read our 2026 Hurricane Guide.

The guide is still good advice, but,

The next scrolling article at 13Newsnow is

Atlantic hurricane season nears historic milestone

Hurricane season has now entered the month of September, and the Atlantic will be entering what is typically its busiest stretch.

But so far this year, we still have not had a single Atlantic hurricane form. That will put 2026 within striking distance of some pretty unusual hurricane history.

Looking at the satellite era, which begins in 1966, the latest date the Atlantic has seen its first hurricane of the season was Sept. 11. That record has happened twice: first in 2002 with Hurricane Gustav, and again in 2013, with Hurricane Humberto.

Eh, I’m sure this is your fault, too.

Bummer: Salvadorans May Lose TPS

By William Teach September 10, 2026 – 7:00 am

I must say, CNN really should have considered whom they were going to use as a sob story in the article

Another group of immigrants may be on the verge of losing deportation protections

Soledad Miranda’s eyes fill with tears as she packs boxes for a move she’s hoping she won’t have to make.

“I feel defeated,” she says.

For 25 years, the program known as Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, has allowed Miranda and around 170,000 other Salvadorans to work legally in the United States and protected them from deportation. Now many are on edge awaiting the Trump administration’s decision on their futures.

Some Salvadorans had hoped the rapport between Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and US President Donald Trump could pave the way for a reprieve, even as administration officials have revoked deportation protections for many other nationalities.

But the Department of Homeland Security hasn’t yet made an announcement on TPS for El Salvador. And on Wednesday, which had been the scheduled ending date for Salvadorans’ protections, a written statement from a DHS spokesperson provided few answers.

But, hey, how about this

Miranda, 52, came to the US in 1997 and built a life for herself and her 16-year-old daughter, who is a US citizen. Working as a cleaner in a government building, she saved enough money for an apartment she says she can no longer afford if her work authorization expires. So she’s started packing treasured mementos from more than 30 years of her life.

“Now all of that is in this box,” Miranda tells CNN en Español as she gestures at an empty wall in her apartment. “It’s over.”

So, she’s been here since 1997 and she has to give the interview in Spanish? She couldn’t take the time to learn English?

Real? There are no articles yet. But, sure seems likely.

Surprise: Nepal Now Wants Hotcoldwetdry Reparations

By William Teach September 9, 2026 – 3:34 pm

Of course they do, considering how much the Warmists Blamed ‘climate change’ for the landslide and floods. It is amusing that I found this at Al Jazeera, considering Al Gore made like $20 million selling his climate TV station to AJ, which is owned and backed by the petro-state of Qatar

Why Nepal is demanding climate justice and compensation after deadly floods

Nepal is demanding “climate justice” and $20m in compensation after the recent devastating floods in the country and China’s Tibet region, which led to the deaths and disappearances of thousands of people.

The catastrophe, which scientists say was caused by the effects of climate change, was triggered when part of a mountain glacier collapsed and a torrent of water and mud flooded down into Nepal’s Rasuwa and Nuwakot regions, as well as into China’s Tibet region on August 26. More than 1,300 people have been confirmed dead and more than 5,000 remain missing.

“We are paying the ultimate price for a global crisis we did not create,” Nepal’s Foreign Minister Shisir Khanal said last week.

“Support for Nepal should not be seen from an angle of aid or charity, but should be seen from the perspective of climate justice,” he told the AFP news agency.

Once again, the Demand for climate cash is always made under the banner of “you owe us, the money should have no strings attached”.

Nepal’s Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Environment have written a joint letter to the United Nations, which set up a fund to respond to loss and damage caused by climate change in 2022 in line with the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate, with a request for $20m in damages.

The UN’s Loss and Damage Fund is, however, facing a $2.8bn funding gap as it prepares to approve its first climate recovery projects.

Weird. Why are the Warmists nations not paying their fair share? Where are all those billionaires who say we should Do Something?

Nepal contributes less than 0.1 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and generates most of its electricity from renewable sources of energy. Yet its geographical location in the Himalayas makes it particularly vulnerable to severe climate and weather events.

And, yet, the do not shut down all their airports and heliports, which are crucial for Nepal’s financial wellbeing via tourism, and lots and lots of jobs and money.

Sweden’s Government Pays Immigrants To Leave Ahead Of Elections

By William Teach September 9, 2026 – 10:30 am

Maybe they are tired of all the no go zones and rapes?

As election looms, Sweden’s government is paying immigrants to leave

Once known for its welcome to migrants, Sweden has not only shut its borders over the last decade, its right-wing government is now paying some foreign-born residents to leave, part of a tough stance on migration it hopes will help it ?secure reelection this month.

As countries across Europe clamp down on immigration, Sweden has made one of the most drastic about-turns. It took in 163,000 asylum seekers in 2015 – the second highest ?per capita in Europe. By 2025, that number had fallen 96%.

Since the start of 2026, the Swedish coalition government, which took power in 2022 on a pledge to cut immigration and crime, has been offering those with residency permits from outside the European Union up to 350,000 Swedish crowns ($37,000) if they leave the country.

The scheme is being closely watched abroad, and strongly supported by the Sweden Democrats, a far-right party that is outside the government but backs it in parliament.

“Do you miss Mogadishu? The remigration grant will help you get ?home,” reads an advert, paid for by the Sweden Democrats on a bus and aimed at Somali immigrants. The far-right party launched the adverts in July on public transport and in areas with high ?numbers of migrants as campaigning for the election began. It and the three governing coalition parties are seeking to form a four-way ruling partnership.

Remember, the government has given handbooks and lectures to new migrants multiple times about not raping. Most of the rapes over the last 10-15 years have committed by immigrants”, most of whom come from African and/or Muslim nations.

Governments and political parties across Europe ?are watching as some also consider ways to send people back. Anti-immigration rhetoric has surged since over a million people, mainly Syrians fleeing war, arrived in Europe in 2015. That has given right-wing nationalist parties a boost, pushing governments ?to adopt increasingly restrictive migration policies focused on deterrence and returns.

If citizens of those countries didn’t find it appealing they wouldn’t be voting for those politicians. The left wing ones just kept letting in and bringing migrants in, regardless of what the citizens wanted, and then the citizens finally had enough and voted for the right leaning parties.

So far this year, 171 people have taken up the offer of cash to leave. The Sweden Democrats want to extend the offer to immigrants with Swedish citizenship, if they agree to revoke it.

“That’s where you find the large numbers,” said ?Ludvig Aspling, immigration ?spokesperson for the party, highlighting those citizens who struggle to support themselves financially and speak little Swedish.

And those politicians were giving free and easy citizenship to people who couldn’t speak the language, didn’t understand the culture, and had no intention of assimilating. They expected Sweden to change to be like the 3rd world shithole/Muslim nation they came from, all while paying for everything for the migrants. It’s funny how all the Muslim ones never go to Muslim nations, eh?

Oh, Noes: People Aren’t Connecting Global Boiling And Extreme Weather

By William Teach September 9, 2026 – 7:15 am

Pretty much because weather happens, and sometimes it’s stronger than at other times

Many People Aren’t Connecting the Dots Between Climate Change and Extreme Weather

At the end of August, devastating floods and a debris flow triggered by a glacier collapse crashed through the valleys of Nepal, killing more than 1,300 people. Earlier this summer, deadly heat waves plagued much of the United States and Europe. Meanwhile, record-low snow levels and a long-term drought stoked wildfires across the western U.S.

It’s been a relentless summer of extremes—only the latest in a half-decade packed with record-breaking weather events. A growing body of research shows they’re becoming more frequent and severe as human-caused climate change accelerates.

Wait, I thought the science was settled all the way back in 2007? No?

But recent studies show that many people aren’t making this link in the wake of a weather disaster, a disconnect that could affect our ability to combat worsening warming. At the same time, a recent analysis found that fewer journalists are doing the kind of climate reporting that could help to close this gap. And even when hurricanes, wildfires or floods get widespread attention, it’s often not long before another story overwhelms the news cycle.

That sounds like political science, not science science. Maybe fewer journalists give a crap about the scam, and don’t see money in doing it.

For decades, scientists have been trying to grasp how people perceive extreme weather in the context of climate change. Dozens of studies, surveys and models seem to support only one consensus: It’s complicated.

“Most people do not automatically, intuitively, on their own, connect that event—a flood, a heat wave, a wildfire—to climate change,” Anthony Leiserowitz, the director of the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, told me. “Climate change is still a relatively abstract idea for many, many people.”

Basically, they’re upset that people aren’t buying what they’re selling. I wonder why

CBS Points Out How The Taliban Is Doing 25 Years After 9/11

By William Teach September 9, 2026 – 7:00 am

Even while trying to protect Joe Biden cBS unintentionally shows that Biden was a disaster

25 years after Sept. 11 attacks, Taliban rules Afghanistan again, but now with $7 billion in U.S. firepower

As Americans reflect this week on the 25 years that have passed since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, CBS News has returned to Afghanistan, where the war those attacks triggered ended five years ago with the Taliban’s stunning return to power.

When the last U.S. and allied soldiers left after a brutal two-decade war, the Taliban’s fighters seized billions of dollars worth of American-purchased military hardware. President Trump, whose first administration negotiated the deal to end the war with the Taliban, has accused the Biden administration of “totally botching” the withdrawal.

Five years later, the hardware of America’s longest-ever war is still easy to spot on the streets of Kabul. Taliban fighters patrol in armored vehicles once supplied to Afghan forces, wearing American tactical gear and carrying American weapons.

CBS News saw one Humvee in the Afghan capital still adorned with a faded Green Bay Packers decal — a remnant from its past operators.

President Trump has been fiercely critical of the former Biden administration, accusing his predecessor of allowing the U.S. military to abandon billions of dollars in military hardware. Mr. Trump has demanded that the Taliban hand it back.

See, it’s Bad that Trump is accusing Biden of stuff like this

But the Taliban has proudly shown off its American-funded arsenal, even staging military parades through Kabul’s streets.

Pentagon figures released last year show some $7 billion in hardware and weaponry fell into the group’s hands when the Afghan National Army collapsed.

So, um, yeah, Trump is 100% correct.

But critics of the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S. withdrawal say it’s allowed the Taliban to transform from insurgents into a state military force armed with billions of dollars in American-funded firepower.

They have used those weapons to impose a draconian interpretation of Islamic rule on Afghanistan’s people, almost completely depriving women and girls of the right to work and study, and restricting life for everyone in the country in ways that some analysts say are even harsher than during the group’s previous reign.

How dare those critics!!!!! And then the Credentialed Media wonders why no one trusts them and considers them heavily biased.

Climate Doom Fueling More Tropical Threats Or Something

By William Teach September 8, 2026 – 3:44 pm

Did Climate Central think this through before publishing, or, are they under the (rightful) impression that the Warmists who read the screed are brainwashed morons?

Climate change fuels extreme heat, flooding and tropical threats across the U.S

Much of the United States will experience some form of climate-fueled extreme weather this week, from dangerous heat across the Central and Eastern U.S. to heavy rain and flooding threats in Texas, the Grand Canyon, and Southern California. Unusually warm ocean waters are also amplifying tropical systems and the risk of extreme rainfall, underscoring the widespread influence of human-caused climate change. (snip)

Tropical Depression Five formed over the northern Gulf of Mexico around 1 p.m. CDT Monday, August 31, and strengthened into Tropical Storm Edouard by evening. The National Weather Service is forecasting 3 to 5 inches of rain, with isolated amounts of 6 to 9 inches possible over parts of southeast and eastern Texas. Rainfall rates exceeding 3 to 4 inches per hour at times could lead to flash flooding in urban and other vulnerable areas.

A tropical depression or tropical storm could form by September 1, several hundred miles south-southwest of southwestern Mexico, potentially strengthening to a strong tropical storm or hurricane as it moves north toward Southern California through the week. Regardless of whether it makes landfall as a defined tropical system, the storm will likely bring heavy rain and extreme humidity to Southern California that would last into the following week, potentially causing flooding.

This piece was originally published August 31, but, must have been updated in some manner so that Google News picked it up as being published today. Anyhow, tropical storms happen, hurricanes happen. Oh, wait

Of course, the Warmists will Blame ‘climate change’ for the lack of tropical systems, like they’ve done before.
