House Dems Not Comfortable With Questions On The Super Wackos Running As Dems

By William Teach July 18, 2026 – 10:30 am

I remember when Democrats went full Moonbat during the Bush 43 years, but, policy wise, they were still in the realm of reasonable, other than wanting to fully retreat from Iraq. And some Afghanistan. They continued to get more wackadoodle year after year. Sure, not all of them, even though most of them will vote for the wackos resolutions and legislation. They’ve truly gone insane since Trump took office the first time, and they have their DSA folks being insane

WATCH: House Dems dodge questions on socialist agenda that threatens to abolish key institutions

Prominent House Democrats appeared caught off guard when asked about the newly announced plan by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) that calls to destroy the current America’s political system — eliminating the Senate, president and Supreme Court.

“I don’t support that,” Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said when asked about the new agenda. “I haven’t read the proposal.”

The revision to the DSA platform, “Workers Deserve More” plans to abolish the Senate entirely and replace the president and Supreme Court with an executive branch and judiciary elected by and subordinate to Congress.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., one of the most progressive Democrats in Congress, dodged answering questions on the new socialist agenda from Fox News Digital.

“I’m not a member of the DSA, so I can’t comment on any documents that they put out,” Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., said.

It’s even too nutbar for her…though, I suppose she’d rather there be a Supreme Leader like in Iran.

The political commitments of the program are split into three sections, with the last section calling “for a unicameral, proportional legislature (abolishing the Senate) and a parliamentary system (abolishing the presidency), among other goals.”

The platform additionally calls for the complete abolishment of U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), pardoning all immigrants, including those who have committed crimes, and defunding the Department of War.

The far-left plan comes as the socialist agenda is proving to be making its way into the mainstream Democratic party as several DSA members and self-proclaimed socialists have been beating out more moderate Democrats in many of this year’s primary elections.

This really is the logical progression of the completely hardcore moonbats from the Bush 43 years, and now the regular leftist Democrats have to deal with the fallout from the DSA wackos. The Bush Derangement Syndrome infused wackos started this all. Unfortunately, the continued progression has created a shitton of Democrat voters who want this stuff, especially since so many teachers are complete lunatic wackos. None of them actually stop to think “I wonder how this will REALLY affect my life”, they just look at the pretty stuff.

So, all the small businesses that you built? Owned by the government. Congress will expand and be run by the DSA. Reminds me of the Soviet Union. Congress will control the justice system. You will be dealt with at their pleasure, Comrades. This will not be Socialism or Communism per Political Science 101, it is really in the Authoritarian Model, much like Communism in practice in places like the USSR, China, Vietnam.

A Jew hating, America hating Islamic extremist/Jihadis who has been empowered by the somewhat normal Democrats. Of course, getting what they want passed is extremely difficult, what with all the Amendments they would need to pass.

Those Wildfires Are All Your Fault. Oh, And Flooding

By William Teach July 18, 2026 – 7:15 am

Back to back articles at Google new when I searched “climate change”

It is getting harder to ignore: Climate change means more fires in the U.S. and Canada

Drought, high heat, and wildfires caused havoc across the U.S. and Canada this week. There are many in the U.S. who don’t want to hear it, but the data is telling a clear story: rising global temperatures from climate change means more fire.

So far this year, more than 5,740 square miles of the United States has burned from wildfires, which is 31% more than the average of the previous 10 years on this date, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. The amount of U.S. land burned each year in the 2020s — averaged out over a decade — is now more than twice what it was 30 years ago.

“The scientific term for our weather is bonkers,” University of St. Thomas climate scientist Dr. John Abraham told WCCO’s Laura Oakes earlier this week.

Sigh. When they use terms like bonkers in science you know this is a cult. But, hey, also

Climate change driving more rains that lead to deadly flash floods, experts say

Climate change is driving increasingly common bouts of heavy rain in the US that cause deadly and damaging flash floods that will only become more frequent and intense as the crisis worsens, experts say.

A year after deadly flooding in central Texas that swept through a children’s summer camp, the state and other parts of the United States are again experiencing unusually heavy rain. Over the last month, states like Alaska, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania have all experienced record rainfall, causing flash flooding across the country.

Despite climate scientists’ forecasts and tragic events like the flood at Camp Mystic in Texas, experts argue that some government officials are not investing enough money and political capital to upgrade infrastructure and restrict where people can build to accommodate the new, wetter normal.

“We have basically built for a climate that no longer exists, and retrofitting our infrastructure is a slow and expensive process,” said Alice Hill, a senior fellow for energy and the environment at the Council on Foreign Relations. “Adding to that challenge is the fact that in many places, climate change – the term – is a dirty word, and that can reduce the initiative to make sure that any investments made today can carry the excess rainfall.”

No matter what happens they’ll always revert to climate change doom talking points.

DHS Finalizes Rule That Means Students Can’t Just Stick Around

By William Teach July 18, 2026 – 7:00 am

It really wasn’t that long ago when anyone in the US on any visa mostly spent the time on the visa and then had to leave

DHS Finalizes Immigration Rule That Imperils Status Of Many Students

The Trump administration has finalized an immigration rule that imperils the status of many international students. Today, international students are admitted for duration of status. That means if they are pursuing a course of study, they can generally stay in the United States, including entering as an undergraduate, going on to a master’s and then a Ph.D. without relying on new government approvals. The final rule, proposed in Aug. 2025, would replace that policy, with limited exceptions, by establishing a fixed four-year period for F-1 and J-1 visa holders. Educators, attorneys and businesses say the new policy threatens America’s role as a leading destination for international students and will harm the ability to attract and retain promising talent from around the world.

“Ultimately, it is going to be a huge burden and unnecessary administrative strain,” said Jonathan Grode of Green & Spiegel in an interview. “I worry about the chilling effect on foreign student enrollment, which has already taken a hit since Trump’s second term started.”

Aww, that’s too bad. It must be really, really hard to fill out some paperwork. They had to do it to come to school to start, right? Are we just supposed to let them stay for what, about 10 years to get that PhD and not know a damned thing about what they’ve been doing? Breaking any laws? Seriously, pretty much every other nation, especially those in the 1st World, require people to renew their visas

“This rule is unnecessary and duplicative. International students are already among the most closely monitored nonimmigrant populations in the U.S. and are subject to rigorous oversight by DHS and academic institutions,” said Miriam Feldblum, president and CEO of the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, in a statement. Nonimmigrants are temporary visa holders.

And, yet, a huge number of students blew off their student visas when they ended and just stayed in the US. Before Obama and especially Biden just started letting everyone in roughly 45% of illegal aliens were people who overstayed their visas. If they are closely monitored than reapplying after undergrad and grad should be no big deal.

“This rule introduces unnecessary government intrusion into academic decision-making,” said Fanta Aw, executive director and CEO of NAFSA: Association of International Educators, in a statement. “Requiring students and scholars to seek approval to extend their academic program, change majors, or pursue the next level of study places life-changing educational decisions in the hands of an already overburdened immigration system—not educators, and not institutions.”

That’s exactly the role of the government, you pompous twit. Why are these leftists so against having a controlled immigration system, especially for temporary?

‘Climate Change’ Could Maybe Possibly Be Involved In Explosive Diarrhea Outbreak

By William Teach July 17, 2026 – 3:00 pm

I’m only surprised in that it too the climate cult media this long to link the outbreak

Possible Role Of Climate Change In Current Cyclosporiasis Outbreak

It’s been a relatively hot summer in many parts of the United States. The hotter-than-normal weather could have played a role in exacerbating this summer’s clusters of cyclosporiasis, which have now been detected in 31 states. It’s possible that the decades-long trend of rising temperatures globally is contributing to the more frequent presence of diseases more typically found in tropical regions.(snip)

The causal agent in cyclosporiasis is a microscopic parasite called Cyclospora cayetanensis, which can spread through food or water contaminated with human feces. Usually, contamination happens on farms. According to the CDC, cyclosporiasis occurs seasonally in many countries worldwide but is most common in tropical and subtropical regions.

The disease doesn’t spread person-to-person. National Geographic writes that “people get sick around a week after eating contaminated food — most commonly fresh produce, especially raspberries, leafy herbs, and bagged salad mixes — but it can take as little as two days and as long as two weeks to develop symptoms.”

So, really, they’re thinking contaminated with feces. And the el nino is certainly creating a hotter summer

Climate change appears to be altering the timing of recurring natural phenomena, like the emergence of buzzing cicadas in summer. They start making their unique piercing sound about 14 days earlier on average than 20 years ago in places like the Northeastern U.S.

The fuck does that have to do with the outbreak?

Similarly, global warming may also be lengthening the seasonal transmission window of certain bacteria and viruses that cause gastrointestinal illnesses. In this vein, public health experts have long warned that a warming climate could contribute to larger spikes in the spread of cases of diseases such as cyclosporiasis.

It’s July: any seasonal lengthening would have zero to do with July

Up until around a decade ago, periodic cyclosporiasis clusters occurred annually scattered around the country during the summer months. But they weren’t especially large in terms of numbers of cases. The numbers of outbreaks and cases then began to rise, with conspicuous spikes in 2018 and 2019 and now in 2026. Experts attribute the increases to better testing and detection methods but also climate change or long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns.

Last time I checked it is the summer months. Cultist dipshits.

Scientists have formally hypothesized a role for climate change in creating more optimal environmental conditions needed for diseases such as cyclosporiasis to spread. They observe associations between higher temperatures in non-tropical settings and the prevalence of pathogens such as cyclospora. Indeed, cyclospora depend on prolonged outdoor heat and moisture to mature, which makes it sensitive to the effects of rising temperatures.

It’s summer. Dipshit cultists.

House Passes “Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act” For Gun And Ammo Purchases

By William Teach July 17, 2026 – 10:30 am

It is meant specifically to protect credit card purchases for firearms

House Passes Bill Preventing Credit Card Companies from Tracking Gun Sales

On July 14, 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to block credit card companies from tracking gun and ammunition sales.

The bill, H.R. 1181, passed on a vote of 221 to 201. Two-hundred-and-fifteen Republicans voted for the bill, along with five Democrats and one Independent.

H.R. 1181 is sponsored by Riley Moore (R-WV).

Breitbart News reported Moore’s introduction of the bill on February 12, 2025, noting that he titled it the “Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act.”

He introduced it after major credit card companies succumbed to the gun control lobby during the Biden Administration and made plans to track the sales of guns and ammo.

For example, on September 11, 2022, Breitbart News pointed out Visa caved to pressure from gun control groups and New York Democrats, agreeing to flag gun and ammo purchases via a merchant code. The Associated Press observed that Mastercard and other major credit card companies also agreed to flag gun sales. On March 2, 2023, Breitbart News noted Discover was slated to begin tracking gun and ammunition purchases with the new MCC in April 2023.

Most credit card companies said they backed away from actually tracking the purchases after massive backlash from citizens and Republican lawmakers in 2023. But, did they? Or did they do it on the down-lo as the Biden admin, Democrat politicians, and gun grabbing groups pushed this? Regardless, this legislation would take away the option from the credit card companies. Seriously, though, it should have started with forbidding the government at all levels from tracking and flagging gun and ammo purchases.

Now, though, what happens in the Senate? Will Democrats allow a final vote, or jam it up? Heck, will some Republicans, such as Thom Tillis, who’s been going wacko as of late, vote against it or jam it up?

Over-Heated World Alert: Chilean Ski Restort Closes Ahead Of Blizzard

By William Teach July 17, 2026 – 7:15 am

School kids just won’t know what skiing in the Andes looks like

Chilean Ski Resort Closes Indefinitely Ahead of Forecasted 200-Inch Blizzard

stop global warmingSki Portillo is battening down the hatches.

Only weeks after a lack of snow forced the Chilean ski resort to start the season later than planned, a massive winter storm is set to arrive in full on Thursday, July 16, 2026.

So massive, in fact, that Portillo has opted to close for several days, with no one leaving or entering the resort during the blizzard. The ski slopes also won’t be open for safety reasons.

According to Portillo’s website, its access roads are already closed. The resort said it would keep skiers and snowboarders updated via its website and social media, and through email, but didn’t provide a set reopening date.

The forecasts now emerging ahead of the storm are confounding, eye-watering, and absurd, all at once.

How does over 13 feet of snow before the end of the month sound? That’s how much Portillo said could arrive, according to “reliable forecasts.” Between now and July 24, OpenSnow—a forecasting service popular among skiers—put the storm total somewhere around 200 inches.

If only you had given up your use of fossil fueled vehicles this wouldn’t happen.

There are some webcams operating at the resort, looks like some great snow.

DHS Considering “Public Charge Test” For Immigrants

By William Teach July 17, 2026 – 7:00 am

I’m not sure why this would be “controversial” at all. If you’re applying to become a citizen you must demonstrate that you can take care of yourself, that you won’t be on public support systems

DHS could weigh immigrants’ use of Medicaid, food and housing help in green card decisions

In a move that will place hundreds of thousands of green card applicants under broader scrutiny each year, the Trump administration is allowing immigration officers to consider whether some applicants have used taxpayer-funded benefits — including Medicaid, food stamps and housing assistance — when determining whether they qualify for permanent legal status.

The Department of Homeland Security is poised to rescind a 2022 Biden-era regulation narrowing how officers apply a long-standing “public charge” test — an immigration screening tool used to determine whether applicants are likely to rely on government support — according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials.

The change may directly affect hundreds of thousands of people applying for green cards from inside the U.S. each year. It could trigger a broader ripple effect if immigrant families avoid health care, food, or housing assistance — even when they or their U.S.-citizen children legally qualify — out of fear that tapping into those benefits could ultimately hurt their immigration cases.

Under existing federal immigration law, some individuals applying for a visa, admission to the U.S. or green cards can be deemed inadmissible if the government determines they are likely “at any time” to become a public charge.

The Biden-era rule, issued in 2022, limited the benefits DHS could consider to primarily cash welfare payments meant to cover basic living expenses and long-term institutional care paid for by the federal government.

They shouldn’t be on any benefits. The US government shouldn’t be bringing in or letting in foreigners who will be a drain on the US taxpayer

The federal government “is reaffirming the requirement of self-reliance, protecting public resources and ending policies that encouraged dependency on the backs of hard-working American taxpayers,” USCIS Director Joseph B. Edlow told CBS News in a statement. “Under President Trump, USCIS is restoring the basic principle that immigrants must be able to support themselves.”

Send them packing.

Study Says Older Folks Should Work Out A Specific Way To Maximize Power

By William Teach July 16, 2026 – 5:49 pm

I’ve mentioned before that you should slow the eccentric when lifting, regardless of whether you are lifting heavy or lighter. Now we have this

New Study Finds This Type of Strength May Matter More for Longevity Than How Much You Can Lift

If your gym sessions are all about lifting heavier, you may be overlooking another fitness skill that’s just as important for healthy aging.

A new study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings suggests that how fast you can move a weight, known as muscle power, may be a better predictor of how long you’ll live than strength alone. After analyzing nearly 3,900 adults between the ages of 46 and 75, researchers found that muscle power was more closely linked to longevity than how much force participants could produce.

Most people think strength and power are the same thing, but they’re different.

Strength is how much force you can produce. Power is how quickly you can produce it.

That difference matters in everyday life. Getting out of a chair, climbing stairs, catching yourself when you trip, or lifting a heavy box all depend on muscle power—not just brute force.

In the study, people with higher muscle power were less likely to die during the follow-up period than those with lower muscle power, even after researchers accounted for age, sex, and other health factors.

What this is recommending is to continue to do slow eccentrics, but do the lifting, called the concentric phase, faster, rather than slow. You don’t have to blast it, but, try and push it harder. So, say, push up hard and fast during a bench press (concentric), then down slowly (eccentric), take 3-5 seconds to do it. Fight the gravity with fast and slow.
