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.

Dipsh*t Democrat Files 26 Articles Of Impeachment Against Orange Man Bad

By William Teach September 26, 2026 – 5:26 pm

These people are nuts. But, then, do they really want to truly talk about their agenda?

Donald Trump hit with 26 articles of impeachment

President Donald Trump has been slapped with 26 new articles of impeachment by a House Democrat, accusing him of abuses of power, violations of his oath of office, and a sweeping range of other alleged misconduct.

Representative Steve Cohen, a Tennessee Democrat and senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced the articles on September 24, just nine days after the House rejected a separate impeachment effort brought by Democratic Representative Al Green of Texas.

The latest effort comes as Democrats remain divided over pursuing impeachment against Trump.

First, this would be tilting at windmills. They’ll never get enough votes, and, come on, he’s out as of January 20, 2029. Second, they’ll waste so much time on this mule fritters that they’ll show the American people that they are batshit insane, and give the House and Senate back to the GOP (provided they win either one in 2026), and a good win for the GOP for the presidency. They’ll also get nothing else done, and I bet Trump simply ignores this idiocy.

Cohen’s resolution is considerably wider than Green’s. Its 26 articles encompass allegations involving Trump’s immigration policies, the use of military power, federal spending, tariffs, presidential pardons, the federal workforce, universities, law firms, the media, and alleged personal financial benefit from the presidency.

The first article accuses Trump of “undermining democracy” by sowing doubt in elections, while the second alleges an abuse of power by waging war on Iran without congressional approval. Another concerns alleged extrajudicial killings in international waters off Venezuela, while a fourth targets the deployment of military forces against U.S. cities.

Loony Tunes.

Dallas Uses Evil AI Cameras To Grade Homes

By William Teach September 26, 2026 – 10:30 am

Really, the concern here should not be the AI, but that the Dallas government, which is two thirds Democrat, with a Republican mayor who used to be a Democrat, is grading homes. And, of course, the bureaucracy is usually left leaning. There was really no need to mention AI at all, that’s an attempt to make it scary

Dallas, your garbage truck is quietly scoring your home

Getting an HOA violation for an overgrown bush or improper parking used to be the work of a nosey neighbor. In some Dallas neighborhoods, that work is now being done by a garbage truck—fitted with an AI surveillance camera.

Since April, Dallas has installed dozens of AI powered cameras onto local garbage trucks to scan homes and buildings for potential code violations. The cameras come from Alabama-based technology company City Detect, which uses its own AI software to generate “blight-scores” for homes and buildings the cameras capture.

The City of Dallas in December is currently the largest municipality in Texas to contract with City Detect, approving a three-year, $2.5 million agreement for 100 cameras on nearly 50 sanitation vehicles dispatched around the city. Other North Texas cities affiliated with the company include Coppell and Little Elm.

According to City Detects website, their technology is aimed to create a “positive social impact” by providing detailed insights on sidewalk debris, grass height, litter, paint issues and others.The company maintains and stores the data while sharing it with Dallas’ sanitation and compliance department.

Is this a good thing or bad thing that the city will know issues on city property? But, really, shouldn’t the city have people who come around on a schedule to deal with maintenance on sidewalks, grass, etc?

While city leaders have defended the technology as an efficiency tool for addressing violations more quickly, it arrives at a time when distrust in AI-surveillance cameras relating to companies like Flock are at an all time high.

Whether it is AI or not makes zero difference. The city is using them to surveil citizen’s homes in a seriously naggy manner pretty much once every week, rather than code enforcement and such coming around periodically.

“The staff’s desire is to be able to have a cleaner, more tidy, orderly city, right? My concern is, as we’re learning more about AI and the lack of privacy and lack of protections, does the city have those protections in place to make sure my home, your home, our residents’ homes, and our privacy are protected,” Dallas City Council Member Chad West said in an interview with Fox4.

Do they, Chad? Why are you asking the question, you’re on the city council (also, I seriously dislike it all being capitalized).

Within four months of their deployment, the cameras have reportedly captured more than 20,000 potential code violations.

Thousands of residents received “courtesy notices” in the mail to correct things like driveway debris or overgrown weeds. Of that, 57 properties resulted in citations, which are issued after an actual code-officer comes to inspect the property.

The AI is not the problem: the problem is the consistent, weekly spying on the homes of citizens. Say, I wonder if they will do anything about gang and criminal activity?

State Which Can’t Even Build A Train Crows Over “Climate Week” Participation

By William Teach September 26, 2026 – 7:15 am

Say, what’s the carbon footprint of all those Warmists flying across the country?

California delegation wraps historic participation at Climate Week NYC — demonstrating strong climate and economic leadership on the world stage

Governor Gavin Newsom’s administration wrapped up a landmark trip to Climate Week NYC, filling the climate leadership void left by the Trump administration. California’s delegation met with international leaders, announced new initiatives to advance clean energy and major progress towards expanding the state’s carbon market, and deepened cooperation with long-standing global partners.

California is the antidote to Donald Trump — representing risk takers, innovators, leaders who believe in protecting our future and building a better world for our children. California is demonstrating to the world what it looks like to keep our promises and deliver on our goals. At all levels of government, we are pursuing ambitious climate policies while maintaining our status as one of the largest economies in the world. California is proving that we don’t have to choose between economic prosperity and our climate goals, because here in the Golden State, they go hand-in-hand.

Climate Week NYC convenes government leaders, businesses, investors, advocates, researchers, philanthropies, and community leaders from around the world to advance practical climate solutions.

Governor Newsom participated to highlight California’s record of cutting pollution while growing the economy, strengthen partnerships with international and subnational leaders, and accelerate progress on clean energy, zero-emission transportation, climate resilience, and economic opportunity. In addition, leaders from throughout state government represented California at a number of events and programs, including the announcement of new programs and partnerships.

That sure is a lot of people taking fossil fueled trips to tell other people how to live their lives, eh? Along with a health dose of TDS.

SCOTUS Rules In Favor Of Trump’s Overhauled Immigration Database

By William Teach September 26, 2026 – 7:00 am

It’s wild how Democrats fight so hard to make sure illegals and other aliens can vote

Haitian migrants are fleeing the U.S. for Canada after Trump canceled their TPS status

The Supreme Court cleared the way Friday for the Trump administration to implement its overhauled immigration database, which it says is aimed at combatting voter fraud, in time for November’s elections over the dissent of the liberal justices.

The overhaul faced opposition from Democrats and some voting groups, and a judge had blocked it for violating federal privacy law. The Supreme Court’s emergency ruling lifts that block, finding the challengers’ claims are likely to fail.

The majority wrote that “the Federal Government has an obligation to respond to requests from state and local election officials seeking to verify the citizenship of voters.”

The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) service is used to determine eligibility for certain federal programs.

The DHS made significant updates after President Trump directed the agency to ensure election officials had appropriate access to verify their voters’ citizenship. The changes connect SAVE to Social Security records, among other updates.

It’s almost like Democrats want to make sure illegals can vote (and get taxpayer money).

We Need To Reframe Our Nagging On Climate Doom Or Something

By William Teach September 25, 2026 – 3:15 pm

How about they simply practice what they preach in their own lives?

We need to rethink how we talk about climate change

Even the most cynical viewer of “An Inconvenient Truth,” the 2006 documentary by former Vice President Al Gore on climate change, would probably not have predicted that, 20 years later, the White House would be occupied by a climate denier. For the second time.

How — after all the pictures of red-topping thermometers, melting icebergs, starving polar bears, swirling hurricanes, burning rainforests and bleaching corals — could that have happened? And what do we do now?

Casual reflection would suggest that if we’ve been working on a problem for 20 years, and more, and we’re still this far away from a solution, then maybe we should try something different.

35+ years of spreading awareness and they still haven’t succeeded.

Following this line of thought led “pissed” millennial Will Hackman to write his new book, “Radically Reframing Climate Change: A Guide to Saving Ourselves” (Bloomsbury Publishing 2026). In it, he draws on a career that includes U.S. political campaigns, strategic communication, public policy advocacy, coalition building, climate activism, and global environmental conservation. His 2022 TEDX talk, “The Future of Climate Change Is Personal,” previewed some of this work; he continues to develop and present his ideas through his column on Substack, “Reframing Climate Change to Save Ourselves.” He lives in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia with his wife, Paula.

Yale Climate Connections spoke with Hackman via Zoom.

Yeah yeah, blah blah. Go away. Make your own lives carbon neutral. Leave the rest of us alone, Cultists.
