Washington Post: Trump Officials Digging Deeper On Missing Illegal Alien Kids

By William Teach June 14, 2026 – 7:00 am

Um, the WP actually seems a bit upset over this

Trump officials broaden investigation into unaccompanied migrant children

The Trump administration is expanding its probe into what happened to the record number of migrant children who crossed the southern border without their parents during the Biden era, dispatching investigators to nonprofit organizations, prosecuting alleged smugglers and requesting help from the U.S. military.

Administration officials this week said federal investigators are continuing a nationwide effort to prosecute anyone who has committed a crime involving an unaccompanied minor, but records obtained by The Washington Post and accounts from aid workers show the administration’s efforts have been even broader.

President Donald Trump and his administration say their investigation aims to protect hundreds of thousands of children who arrived alone and were released to sponsors who they claim were poorly vetted. They allege many of those adults then abused or exploited the children for financial gain, though so far, the government has presented examples of a small number of cases.

Advocates say most children were reunited with parents or relatives in the United States, and that the administration’s efforts could have a chilling effect on a vulnerable group of migrants who may now be wary of seeking help from groups meant to protect them.

So, the investigation is broader per the groups who probably helped lose the kids, and the advocates are advocating to stop searching for the kids because it will cause problems for the illegals who shouldn’t be here? Really?

The acting director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), which is under the Department of Health and Human Services and oversees the shelters that house unaccompanied minors, separately secured the Pentagon’s help this spring in auditing federally funded nonprofits that provide legal aid to migrant children, according to a copy of the request reviewed by The Post. The auditors were going to be tasked with investigating any potential fraud.

The Department of Homeland Security, which sent some agents to the nonprofits this week, did not respond to questions about the visits, saying only that its efforts are part of an overall endeavor to locate unaccompanied minors. DHS shared 16 cases in which a sponsor with a criminal history was later arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for immigration violations.

Well, that sounds like a good thing, right? Right?

“This feels like another government attack on immigrant children,” said Michael Lukens, executive director of the Amica Center for Immigrant Rights in D.C., one of the groups that federal agents targeted this week. “I don’t think they understand. We’ve been doing this a long time. We’re very good at it. We are working on shoestring budgets.”

Say, did the WP ask Lukens and members of Amica Center about the missing kids, tough, pointed questions? Sorry, sorry, silly question. Apparently, missing illegal kids who are probably being trafficked is no big deal because Orange Man Bad’s admin is investigating

Now the nonprofits contracted to provide legal aid and shelter to unaccompanied children are becoming a focal point of the administration’s probe, and internal correspondence shared with The Post shows how government officials are pushing institutional norms to execute the president’s immigration enforcement agenda.

Did the WP ever consider that all these groups might be problematic, in that they helped facilitate all those kids coming solo, and then profitted off provide aid and shelter? That they might be implicated in trafficking the kids, even by accident?

Advocates who work at the nonprofit organizations contracted to help unaccompanied minors said they turned away the investigators who arrived at their doorsteps and did not hand over any records. Some interpreted the surprise visits as an attempt to intimidate them and expressed fear that it would discourage children from seeking their help.

They’re taking taxpayer money for this, right? Lots and lots of it? Next time there will be warrants. One would think a premier news outlet like the WP would care about kids being missing, about potentially being trafficked, but, they’re more concerned with sheltering the NGOs and such. That the WP would be an advocate for the little people, the people who are in trouble. Nope.

Cult Of Climastrology Now Discussing “Indirect Interactions”

By William Teach June 13, 2026 – 3:00 pm

It’s always some new and authoritarian thing the cult is coming up with

The Climate Change Culprits Not Addressed by Global Policy

Sherman Potter Bull CookiesRecord-high global temperatures aren’t driven only by well-known greenhouse gas culprits.

These other emissions, unlike carbon dioxide, don’t have a direct warming effect on their own. Instead, they trigger reactions in the atmosphere that create more greenhouse gases or make the gases stick around longer.

A new paper published Thursday in the journal Science suggests that 15 percent of human-driven global warming has come from these indirect interactions. None of these pollutants appear on the international climate treaty list that forms the basis for nations’ pledges to cut back—and the authors say it’s time for that to change.

“We’re emitting things into the atmosphere that don’t directly warm the planet, but they increase the amount of the greenhouse gases that do directly warm the planet,” said the paper’s lead author, Ilissa Ocko, a former climate advisor for the U.S. Department of State. She’s now senior climate scientist at Spark Climate Solutions, a nonprofit that aims to identify and mitigate sources of unmanaged climate risk.

Sounds like culty BS to me

Carbon monoxide and non-methane volatile organic compounds are the major players named in the paper, indirectly accounting for most of that 15 percent of warming. Black carbon, commonly known as soot, also contributes.

It’s another method to come after Other People driving fossil fueled vehicles

“The political climate in many countries is not for adopting even stronger climate rules,” added Michael Gerrard, founder of Columbia University’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law. It’s enough of a struggle to meet current emission reduction goals that he doubts countries would want to add more pollutants to the list.

But despite the challenges, the paper’s finding “highlights an important missing piece of the climate regulatory picture,” Gerrard said. “It demonstrates that these pollutants that are not regulated under the climate regime still have some significance.”

“Regulatory.” Of course.

Wacko Federal Judge Tells Trump To Put Wacko Plaques Back In National Parks

By William Teach June 13, 2026 – 10:30 am

Another moonbat who ignores the Supreme Court ruling about no nationwide rulings. If she wants to try this for her fiefdom, the state of Massachusetts, OK, but, they have no national parks, but, do have 16 sites run by the National Parks Service

Judge orders restoration of national park plaques removed under Trump directive

A US district court judge has ordered the Trump administration to reinstate any history or science materials it removed from the nation’s public monuments, finding that the White House’s actions “set a dangerous precedent of censorship and sanitization”.

In March 2025, Donald Trump signed an executive order titled “restoring truth and sanity to American history”, calling upon the secretary of interior to examine monuments, memorials and statues to see if they had been altered after January 2020 to represent a “false construction of American history”.

The Trump directive came as the White House waged war on so-called liberal “wokeism,” rolling back Biden-era diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices and policies (in the past, the president has described DEI as divisive and particularly discriminatory against white people).

The Trump administration also sought to purge “corrosive” or “ideological indoctrination” from exhibitions at the nation’s historical and cultural institutions.

The 2025 executive order resulted in the de-installation of signage and material at these sites, which referenced topics such as slavery, civil rights, Indigenous history and climate change, according to a February lawsuit that a group of conservation organizations filed against the Trump administration.

Crazy Cat Judge (sorry, cats), really stretched in her ruling, like with the National Park Service Centennial Act, which the “Secretary is required to “ensure that management of [National Park] System units and related areas is enhanced by the availability and use of a broad program of the highest quality interpretation and education”” and from the law

The Secretary may undertake a program of regular evaluation of interpretation and education programs to ensure that they (1) adjust to how people learn and engage with the natural world and shared heritage as embodied in the [National Park] System; (2) reflect different cultural backgrounds, ages, education, gender,abilities, ethnicity, and needs; (3) demonstrate innovative approaches to management and appropriately incorporate emerging learning and communications technology; and (4) reflect current scientific and academic research, content, methods, and audience analysis

She kind of blows her argument since it says “may”. And then that there are directives in the National Park Service, forgetting that the POTUS is over them, and can put out his own “directives”, ie, EOs. Judge Moonbat rules that it’s in the public interest and stuff, 63 pages of inventing a reason to rule against Orange Man Bad, with garbage like

Plaintiffs have demonstrated that the risk of harm to them and their individual members as research institutions, historians, conservationists, and park visitors is immediate and irreparable.

Aww, they were a bit butthurt. That’s not a reason for a ruling in their favor, but, Judge Angel (who’s had multiple wacko rulings in the Age Of Trump, such as ruling that TPS cannot end for South Sudanese people), like many liberal judges, keeps ignoring the ruling in Trump V CASA on nationwide rulings. The Trump admin should ignore her ruling outside of Massachusetts.

Britain Imposes New Restrictions On Heated Towel Racks And Underfloor Heating

By William Teach June 13, 2026 – 7:15 am

Is there nothing the Cult Of Climastrology doesn’t want to regulate?

Ed Miliband imposes new net zero restrictions on underfloor heating and towel rails

Heated towel rails that use too much power create an “avoidable cost to society” and should be banned from sale, Labour has said.

Underfloor heating systems and storage heaters that are classed as inefficient will also be removed from sale, in a bid to cut energy waste and carbon emissions.

The rules, which also cover gas space heaters, are part of the drive to Net Zero and are aimed at ensuring only the most efficient systems are available.

They will bring Britain more in line with EU regulations.

Last time I checked the UK left the EU. Nice that one person can slap on these restrictions, which will essentially cost businesses a lot of money as they can no longer sell those products

No one will be forced to remove existing systems according to Labour, and the rules will only apply to new models.

No one will be forced yet. Don’t think that a nation that sends multiple cops to harass and arrest citizens for Mean Tweets won’t force citizens to remove those systems.

The changes will save households money through reduced costs, it adds.

From next year, new models of heated towel rails, underfloor heating and storage heaters will have to meet improved energy efficiency requirements.

Which means that any savings through reduced use costs will be erased from products that cost a lot more.

The document estimates that, of models currently on the market, almost half of electric underfloor heating models and just over half of electric towel rails will be banned.

So, any existing supplies must be sold and installed by the end of the year or those products are worthless.

Wacko Massachusetts Town Considers Using 4th Of July Funds For Illegals

By William Teach June 13, 2026 – 7:00 am

Sure, it’s just one wacko bringing it up, but, don’t think the others aren’t now considering it heavily

Massachusetts city councilor suggests redirecting Fourth of July funds for immigration legal aid

A Massachusetts city has paused approval of next year’s budget over calls for more funding to cover immigration legal aid, with one councilor suggesting redirecting money meant for Fourth of July festivities.

As the close of this fiscal year nears on June 30, the Lynn City Council has decided to wait until the last minute to green-light next year’s spending plan, arguing that Mayor Jared Nicholson’s proposed $50,000 allocation isn’t adequate.

Looking in any which way to make up for the shortfall, Councilor Brian LaPierre has offered several recommendations, including redirecting cash from a budget line item that funds neighborhood Fourth of July block parties.

The “celebration line item” specifically provides resources, such as trash barrels and emergency vehicle access, or small stipends to support the council-sanctioned patriotic festivities.

“It’s a small amount,” LaPierre said at a meeting earlier this week of the line item. “It’s $15,000, it’s just for one year, even, but why don’t we roll that into an immigration fund for this year only?”

Right, it’s only America’s 250th birthday and you want to give the money over for illegal aliens, what’s the big deal?

LaPierre, a councilor-at-large since 2016, also suggested using parking receipt revenue towards immigration relief for a year, or some of the $40,000 the mayor has proposed for his office’s legal fees.

The Fourth of July block party funding request stands out as other Bay State cities and towns have cancelled their own celebrations amid America’s 250th anniversary.

The town of Rutland and the cities of Framingham and Northampton have all connected funding constraints in their respective communities to their celebration cancellations this year.

Perhaps if they weren’t spending all that money on helping illegal aliens?

Guess Who’s The Silent Referee At World Cup?

By William Teach June 12, 2026 – 3:28 pm

It just goes to show that no matter what it happening, the climate cult will involve themselves

Climate change is the silent referee of the World Cup

Weather and sports are a lot more closely related than you may think, and the 2026 World Cup could be the greatest example of them all.

The tournament is returning to the United States for the first time in more than 30 years. It will be the most polluting World Cup in history — experts are predicting the games may possibly triple the emissions generated during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

For soccer fields in particular, water used to keep the pitch green can cause extra waste. That’s why some stadiums have recently become some of the most innovative examples of climate solutions. Forest Green Rovers in the United Kingdom has become the world’s first carbon neutral stadium and has been dubbed the “world’s greenest football club.” EV batteries, solar panels, even the players’ quick-stepping dribbles are some ways stadiums are finding new, cleaner ways to power their matches, and the World Cup puts them on a global stage.

It’s impossible to just have sports and fun without a (un)healthy dose of climate doom

Atlanta’s stadium alone sees 3 million visitors a year, a population that generates 5 million pounds of waste. While it typically clogs landfills, zero waste efforts like recycling and composting have now diverted 90% of that waste away from landfills. Landfills are a huge source of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane, which is the most potent heat-trapping gas. Recycling paper towels, trapping rainwater for irrigation and cooling, and even growing urban gardens on-site are just some of the out-of-the-box ways Mercedes-Benz Stadium has aimed to reduce its environmental impact.

Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco is another host site for the World Cup this summer, and received several awards and certifications for its positive environmental impact. The stadium’s use of solar panels, recycled wood, green roofs, farm-to-table menus, and recycling and composting programs all help reduce its carbon footprint.

In Philadelphia, Lincoln Financial Field will host six matches, including frontrunner countries like Brazil and France. The stadium has been promoting its “Go Green” initiative for more than 20 years, which uses 10,000 solar panels to produce 40% of the stadium’s electricity. In 2023, the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles became the first professional sports organization in North America to use clean hydrogen fuel in its passenger vehicles. Bohenko says that sustainability initiatives like these are what left them incredibly prepared to host an event as big as the World Cup.

And, yet, how many take fossil fueled trips to the stadiums? We’re you should be more worried about being mugged, beaten, stabbed, or shot

Sports often feel like our escape from reality. Watching a game on TV or at the stadium is a favorite pastime, a way to destress, decompress and connect with friends and family. It’s our safe haven, and one that we often do not consider can be impacted by some of the harsh realities of global crisis. But, made evident by the several examples of stadium resilience, it can also be a part of the solution. Bohenko is excited for future innovation.

Democrats Looking To Replace Bad Obamacare With Something Worse

By William Teach June 12, 2026 – 10:30 am

Back in the day Obamacare opponents, and some supporters, warned that Obamacare would skyrocket the costs of deductibles, premiums, and actual healthcare, as insurance companies and healthcare providers raised costs because the government was paying for it, for one. And what did we see? Deductibles, premiums, and healthcare skyrocketing for both Obamacare plans and non-Ocare plans. So, now

Democrats seek next ObamaCare ahead of midterms amid rising health costs

There is growing momentum within the Democratic Party to find its next ObamaCare heading into the midterms, as healthcare costs become more untenable and American anger over affordability persists.

Healthcare has consistently ranked as a top issue for voters heading into this year’s midterm elections. June polling from Emerson College found that healthcare ranked in the top five issues for voters, behind the economy, threats to democracy and immigration.

The expiration of the enhanced Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits dealt a heavy blow to Democrats in Congress, who carried out the longest government shutdown in history to get a vote on extending the subsidies.

In the wake of the expired tax credits, premiums jumped by more than 20 percent and ACA enrollment dropped this year after previously experiencing four consecutive years of record growth.

The thing is, those credits were simply covering up the true costs of Ocare, mostly for the premiums, which kept going year after year from the get-go. They didn’t cover up the cost of deductibles and out of pocket costs.

BTW, immigration ranked higher than healthcare, and ‘climate change’ doesn’t even make the top 10 list

In March, the Center for Health and Democracy (CHD) unveiled its proposal for a 2028 healthcare platform it’s seeking to rally Democrats behind, called “Medicare by Choice.”

Put together by former Democratic aides and staffers at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, it would allow all Americans the option of enrolling in Medicare regardless of age, even allowing employers to select Medicare by Choice as their employees’ workplace benefit.

So, just a different way of creating a government run health plan. Surprise?
