“Faith” Leaders Rally Against North Carolina Requiring Law Enforcement To Work With NICE

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

Why does it seem that so many “faith” leaders seem to take the view of lawlessness and Leftism?

Faith leaders gather in Raleigh in opposition of immigration bill aimed at state agencies

Clergy and faith leaders gathered Saturday at Halifax Mall in downtown Raleigh for a prayer vigil for law enforcement and immigrant communities affected by a new law aimed at cracking down on undocumented immigrants in North Carolina.

With voices lifted and heads bowed, the event was a show of support from faith leaders for those affected by Senate Bill 153, a law that requires state agencies, including the State Highway Patrol, to cooperate with ICE.

“This is not what state troopers signed up for,” Rev. Joel Simpson from United Methodist Church of Taylorsville said. “It makes their responsibility even greater while pulling them away from good and important work they’re already doing across our state.”

The bill became law in June when Republican House lawmakers voted to override Gov. Josh Stein’s veto.

All 153 does is require key state law enforcement agencies, the State Highway Patrol, Department of Public Safety, Department of Adult Correction, and State Bureau of Investigation, to enter into formal 287(g) agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That’s it in terms of cooperation. They aren’t being tasked with going out and rounding up illegals, but, simply informing NICE when they catch one for something else, and holding them.

It also bans NC governments, all the way down to localities, as well as the UNC school system, from acting as sanctuary jurisdictions. Finally, it bans illegal aliens from receiving state benefits, including Medicaid, housing assistance, child care subsidies, and more.

Becky Showalter, who held a sign amongst the crowd, said she worries about the tough decisions officers may be forced to make and what it could mean for immigrants.

“When immigrant populations are not going to go to law enforcement now to report crimes because they’re afraid that they’re going to be taken away, we’re all less safe for that,” Showalter said.

Well, they can always leave the US and go elsewhere if the illegals are concerned

Good News: NICE Rounded Up Over 700 Criminal Illegals In Atlanta Area

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

This must make Democrats very upset

Georgia ICE sweep nabs over 700 criminal illegal aliens, including sex offenders, child abusers

Federal immigration officers arrested more than 1,200 illegal immigrants in the Atlanta, Georgia, area, including 720 who DHS said had been convicted of or charged with crimes.

Speaking on “Fox & Friends,” Marcos Charles, executive associate director of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations, said the sweep took violent criminals, including sex offenders and child abusers, off the streets.

“We arrested over 1,200 aliens, illegal aliens, out in the Atlanta, Georgia, area. More than half of those people had criminal histories,” Charles said.

“We’re talking about sex crimes, assault and battery, some with DUI convictions, domestic violence. These individuals needed to be taken off the street, not only because they’re criminals, but because they are here illegally in the United States.”

The Department of Homeland Security announced online that the sweep, Operation Safe Community – Atlanta, focused on criminal illegal immigrants.

Too bad that NICE can’t confine them to the homes of Democrats calling to abolish NICE.

Islamic Extremists Like El-Sayed Are The Future Of The Dem Party

By William Teach August 8, 2026 – 4:50 pm

In 25 years we’ve gone from Islamic jihadis attacking the US, taking down the Twin Towers, damaging the Pentagon, and killing 2,996 on that fateful day to the Democrats deciding to let them into the US, to bring them in, and embrace them, and then put them in office

Ron Fournier: El-Sayed Type Candidates Are the Future of the Democratic Party for Better or Worse

Former political reporter Ron Fournier discusses Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on “Morning Joe,” describing him as one of the most talented political campaigners he has covered.

WILLIE GEIST, ‘MORNING JOE’ CO-HOST: So, Ron, talk a little bit about, if you would, about Abdul El-Sayed. Obviously, there’s been this national attempt in the state of Michigan to paint him as a radical, and I think some people do not disagree, obviously, with his views on Israel, for example. He has some things to answer for there.

But what kind of public servant has he been? What kind of candidate has he been? And then what kind of, potentially, United States senator would he be for Michigan?

RON FOURNIER, FORMER POLITICS REPORTER: I use the word radical in the sense of populism, that both parties, because of how dysfunctional our politics are and how weak our economy and our way of life is in America now, there’s a push from both extremes to have a more populist movement. Abdul El-Sayed is a, as a public servant, relatively untested. He’s been a public health doctor in Wayne County, in Detroit. (WT note: he’s not an actual doctor) (snip)

He’s very mission- and values-driven. He’s somebody to watch, whether he wins or lose today. He’s the type of candidate that’s the future of the Democratic Party, for better or worse.

There’s video of this at the link, but, yeah, we see this with the wackos in The Squad, the Jew haters, the Islamic extremists like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. The Dems sold their souls, an so much of this is being driven by the uber-white, affluent liberals, who one would think would be smart enough to see the danger of what this Islamic push is about, but, no, they let themselves be indoctrinated in college, which is why most working class and minorities did not actually vote for El-Sayed.

Cool: Pentagon Releases A Bunch More UFO Files

By William Teach August 8, 2026 – 10:30 am

I’m surprised this isn’t bigger news, but, I guess too many are worried about making their own Main Character Syndrome videos and stuff

Pentagon drops 41 new UFO files and videos. See for yourself

For anyone who has ever wondered what’s really in the U.S. government’s UFO files, there’s a new batch to explore. The Pentagon released 41 documents, photos and videos on Friday, Aug. 7, tied to unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs.

The newly declassified files include reports of unexplained sightings from Montana, Utah and Colorado, as well as Brazil, Sweden, Afghanistan, the Pacific Ocean and the Middle East, offering a glimpse into incidents reported across the globe.

Posted to the Pentagon’s UFO website, the records come from the Pentagon, FBI, CIA, State Department and Executive Office of the President. The files span more than seven decades, with the oldest report from 1950 and the newest from 2026, marking the fifth public release of UFO-related records this year.

The latest batch includes a mix of documents, photographs and videos connected to reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena. The materials originate from multiple federal agencies and cover incidents stretching from the Cold War era to the present day.

And we see stuff like

National Academies Of Sciencey Will “Review” Climate Lawfare Chapter

By William Teach August 8, 2026 – 7:15 am

Guess it wasn’t really all the important, eh?

National Academies backtracks on disputed climate science chapter, will review process

stop global warmingOne of the nation’s most respected scientific institutions said Friday it will conduct a review of a disputed climate education chapter in a judicial manual, weeks after President Donald Trump ordered his administration to investigate the matter.

In a post, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine said it will review the process involved in producing the climate science chapter for the fourth edition of the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence. That review should conclude by the fall, a spokesperson for the academies said.

The Federal Judicial Center, which published the manual, removed the climate science section in January following complaints from Republican attorneys general who accused the authors of siding with efforts to hold oil and gas companies financially responsible for climate change.

The academies at the time declined to also remove the chapter from its website but said Friday the chapter will not appear on its website during the review. Trump had amplified complaints about the chapter last month, writing in a Truth Social post that he was ordering federal officials with authority over contracts and grants to look at funding for the National Academies.

The National Academies noted that the chapter has “received considerable scrutiny” and has found that “questions about the processes used to develop the chapter warrant an independent review.”

The science of the climate scam is so great that they had to push a chapter on how everyone can sue. Don’t think the climate cultists will abandon the climalawfare, though.

Two Former NBA Players Declare For WNBA Draft

By William Teach August 8, 2026 – 7:00 am

First this

Then

Former NBA player Royce White says he is declaring for next WNBA Draft after Enes Kanter announcement

Former NBA player Royce White told Fox News Digital that he apparently plans to declare for the 2027 WNBA Draft, as he now claims to be transgender.

There are now two former NBA players to announce such a decision, after Enes Kanter Freedom made his announcement earlier on Friday.

“I’m transgender. I’m a woman. I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purpose of basketball, professional basketball, so I’ll be declaring for the WNBA draft in 2027 as well,” White said.

“I think I’d be unstoppable. But I’m a team-first guy. I’m a pass-first kind of player. I do the little things. I led my team in all five major stat categories at Iowa State University, so I do a little bit of everything. I’ll do whatever the coach needs me to do. I’ll do whatever the girls need me to do…

Obviously, liberals are not happy with this. Many are losing their minds because how dare these guys force the WNBA to apply their beliefs

White said only the league could end his challenge by stating its position plainly on the subject of males playing in women’s sports.

“I think the WNBA could come out and make a definitive statement about guys with a pair of balls playing in the Women’s Association,” he said.

Will they?

The WNBA’s actual governing language is more limited. Article XIII of the league’s 2026 collective bargaining agreement states that “only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA.” The 409-page agreement does not further define “women” or set out a public policy governing transgender or intersex eligibility. It also does not say self-identification alone establishes eligibility.

But, the wackos in the WNBA consider men who think they are women to be women. What will they do now?

Experts Say Get Used To Fires Like The One In Spokane Or Something

By William Teach August 7, 2026 – 3:00 pm

Will this US Today screed mention something rather germane to the discussion, or just be cult businees

Spokane fires burned a path of devastation. Experts say get used to it

It didn’t have to be Spokane. A fast-moving wildfire could sweep into the suburbs of any one of hundreds of cities across the United States.

It’s happening with increasing frequency. Paradise. Marshall. Lahaina. Los Angeles.

This time it was Spokane, Washington, but scientists warn it will happen again.

It’s a pattern that has become “uncomfortably familiar” in recent years, throughout the West and in other parts of the world, said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist with the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources.

The three fires started on Aug. 1 and spread quickly, displaying the kind of extreme wildfire behavior that experienced wildland firefighters say they see far more often now than they did 20 years ago. They have warned for years that fire conditions are changing.

This is all your fault, you know

In the Pacific Northwest, where more than half the uncontained fires are burning, dangerous conditions were expected to return Aug. 7-8, with hot temperatures and dry, gusty winds like those that helped spread the Spokane fires. Though most of the fires in Oregon and Washington have been attributed to natural causes, one suspect has been charged with arson in the Old Trails fire in Spokane.

Look, a mention of at least one of the Washington fires being arson, but, the other two they really do not know about. And all the other fires mentioned were due to arson (intentional or unintentional) or incompetence. In Warmist World it doesn’t matter, because it is all about the doomsaying.
