Mostly Peaceful But Fiery Pro-Illegal Agitators Arrested In Minneapolis

By William Teach January 27, 2026 – 10:30 am

Did they not think there would be consequences?

Anti-ICE agitators arrested outside Minnesota hotel as police declare unlawful assembly: ‘No longer peaceful’

Police in Minnesota began arresting anti-ICE agitators outside a hotel Monday after authorities said the demonstration escalated and was “no longer considered peaceful,” prompting officers to declare an unlawful assembly.

The demonstrators were outside the SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Maple Grove, Minnesota, where they believed U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino was staying.

Maple Grove police said officers responded on Monday to reports of a protest at the hotel and that the protest escalated when agitators allegedly began throwing objects at officers and damaging property.

After police declared an unlawful assembly and issued a dispersal order, several people who refused to leave were arrested, authorities said.

“The Maple Grove Police Department respects and upholds the First Amendment rights of individuals to peacefully assemble and express their views. Our priority remains the safety and security of all residents, visitors, and property within our community,” a spokesperson for the police department said in a statement to KSTP.

“At that point, the activity was no longer considered peaceful. Individuals participating in criminal acts are not protected under the First Amendment and were subject to arrest,” the spokesperson added.

Seriously, though, what took them so long? We saw video on Sunday of the nutters attempting to damage the building, and assaulted a federal agent.

How soon till a judge releases them with no charges?

Good Grief: A Normal Winter Storm Tests US Disaster Response

By William Teach January 27, 2026 – 7:15 am

The doomsday cultists just can’t help themselves

A Winter Storm Fueled by Global Warming Tests U.S. Disaster Response

A sprawling winter storm that left hundreds of thousands without power, grounded thousands of flights and disrupted travel across the eastern half of the U.S. could be the first real test of the second Trump administration’s Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The president has said that he wants to eliminate FEMA, and the agency has lost thousands of employees since his second term began. Emergency-management experts have braced for the moment that a weakened FEMA would face a multi-state disaster.

Just to be clear, as I believe I’ve said before, I do not want FEMA eliminated, it should be returned to its original mission, which was coordination, not running everything.

Scientists agree that human-caused warming has changed the way air and energy move around the planet in complex and interrelated ways that influence outbreaks of extreme winter weather.

The current cold wave is not happening in isolation, but in a fundamentally altered climate system. At a basic level, the oceans are warmer and the atmosphere holds more moisture than 50 or 100 years ago. Both fuel stronger storms, including nor’easters, which have intensified significantly in recent decades, according to a 2024 study.

Same old cult talking points

Nor’easters spin up along the East Coast, drag subtropical moisture from the south and pull frigid polar air from the north. Both their maximum wind speeds and hourly precipitation rates have increased since 1940, said University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann, a co-author of the paper.

That research, he said via email, for the first time was able to quantify the changes. He warned that “more intense storms, with greater amounts of snowfall” are to be expected, even as the planet warms.

“Stronger storms, as they spin, pull up more warm air on one side and pull more cold air down on the other side, so we see both warm and cold temperature extremes associated with them,” he said.

How about the snow storm of 1804, which dropped 48 inches? Or 1888 with 58 inches? The Great Blizzard Of 1899? It got a name! There have been plenty prior to CO2 breaking the mythical 350ppm. 103 inches in 1966. Were these all caused by ‘climate change’? Do normal people believe this BS? All the media is pulling this cult talking point out of their butts, like here and here. It’s all rather cultish.

ICE Shootings Are Freaking Out (Mostly Unnamed) Republicans Or Something

By William Teach January 27, 2026 – 7:00 am

Apparently we’re back to the stage of “we Republicans don’t like what Trump is doing but we’re afraid to tell him”

ICE Shootings Are Freaking Out the GOP. They’re Afraid to Tell Trump.

To cover the Republican Party in the age of President Donald Trump requires a grasp of cryptology.

Because of the unflinching personal loyalty he demands, and punishment he’ll administer on public dissenters, leading GOP officials speak in rhetorical code.

And in the aftermath of the second killing by federal agents of a protester in Minnesota, there’s been a stream of statements, comments and sound bites from party lawmakers that beg for translation.

Oh, so Politico writer Jonathan Martin is going to make it up

Before we get to the private and public messages being transmitted, however, a word on what top Republicans actually believe about what has become a deepening crisis for the White House, based on my conversations over the last two days.

They are concerned more protests to the bloodshed may beget additional incidents, have little faith in DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and, from a raw political standpoint, worry the party has squandered the best issues it had when voters were otherwise frustrated with the cost of living: the border and public order.

Immigration, broadly, as one veteran senator granted anonymity to speak candidly told me over the weekend, is for the GOP what health care is for Democrats — a “home game.” Yet with viral images of Americans being shot in broad daylight replacing migrants stampeding across the country’s border, that advantage is quickly dissipating.

Other than the usual Squishes, Republicans are fine with what’s going on. These idiots, so many of them being paid to be there, are putting themselves in the way of duly empowered law enforcement.

So what are Republican elected officials doing to address what could prove calamitous, for the country and their political fortunes?

To date, it’s the usual approach.

They plead with Trump and his advisers in private to calm tensions, as a handful did this weekend. However, most officials hope one of their colleagues can do that work so they don’t have to play the heavy. “You can talk to them” or “Can you talk to them?” are phrases I don’t need access to text chains to know are being relayed between top Republicans.

When lawmakers do reach Trump, the dialogue is similar to those private messages he posted last week from European leaders eager to get him off his Greenland fetish: Start with praise and flattery before moving to the heart of the matter.

Some actual Republicans are named later, like Squish Kevin Stitt, Thom Tillis who’s retiring (because Republicans do not trust him), and Squish James Comer, none of who really blast Trump’s immigration.

In another television interview, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) deployed the “I’m-only-thinking-out-loud-here” approach of trying to get through to Trump and his aides.

Rather than say: Hell yes, we should yank federal immigration officials from Minnesota and end this fiasco, Comer tried to say it this way on Fox:

“If I were President Trump, I would almost think about, OK, if the mayor and the governor are going to put our ICE officials in harm’s way and there’s a chance of losing more, you know, innocent lives or whatever, then maybe go to another city and let the people of Minneapolis decide, ‘Do we want to continue to have all of these illegals?’”

Yeah, Martin keeps digging deep like that. The answer is simple: give the criminals to ICE. Don’t shield them and there would be no need for surges to liberal cities. How many Americans were killed, raped, assaulted by illegals just last year? There are over 13,000 illegals convicted of murder in the US as of last year. These are who Democrats are fighting for, are protecting.

Your Fault: Cities Are Sinking, Which Is Worse Than Sea Rise

By William Teach January 26, 2026 – 3:00 pm

Sea rise is pretty much average for the Holcene, 7 inches during the 20th Century, when it should be at least double that for a warm period. Since this is not cooperating with the scaremongering, the cult is no Blamestorming you for sinking cities

Why sinking cities may now be a bigger climate crisis than rising seas

For decades, the story of coastal risk has been dominated by climate change and rising seas. But a major new global study suggests that, for hundreds of millions of people living on river deltas – including those living in cities such as New Orleans and Bangkok – an even more immediate threat is unfolding beneath their feet.

Across much of the world, the land itself is sinking – and in many places, it’s sinking faster than the ocean is rising.

Using satellite radar to track tiny changes in the Earth’s surface, scientists have discovered that more than half of the world’s river-delta regions – the low-lying land where major rivers meet the sea – are now sinking. In many of the most densely populated deltas on the planet, this gradual subsidence, rather than rising seas alone, is now the dominant driver of flood risk. (snip)

Deltas are built from loose, water-logged sediments deposited over thousands of years. Even without human interference, these sediments slowly compact under their own weight, causing gradual sinking.

Historically, that natural sinking was balanced by regular floods that replenished the land with fresh sediment. But modern development has changed that balance.

That’s not ‘climate change’, but, it is a result of mankind’s actions.

The study examined three major human-linked drivers of land sinking: groundwater extraction, reduced sediment supply and urban expansion. Of these, groundwater pumping stood out as the strongest overall predictor.

Yup. And the article continues on and on in this vein, till we get to the end

The study’s authors argue that subsidence has been dangerously under-represented in global climate-risk planning, partly because it is viewed as a local problem rather than a planetary one.

But local does not mean small. Even under worst-case climate scenarios, sinking land will remain the dominant driver of relative sea-level rise in many deltas for decades.

None of this has anything to do with climate change, natural, man-caused, or a mixture. It’s like they’re required to add it in.

NC Gov Josh Stein Says Jail Is Not The Right Place For Crazy, Violent People

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

This is the liberal mentality: people shouldn’t be in jail for committing multiple, often violent, crimes. And so many of those who say it are surrounded by armed security or live away from where the violence is. Until they aren’t

Josh Stein says ‘jail is not the right place.’ Right now, it is | Opinion

The United States is a nation of laws. That’s a beautiful thing worth protecting.

But it also means we’re a nation of lawyers. That’s not an insult, despite the easy joke. I have a lot of respect for legal practitioners.

Still, there’s a downside to living inside a culture of process. When the rules get complicated enough, common sense starts to sound like an amateur opinion, and the rest of us are left living with the consequences while being told we simply do not understand.

That is what North Carolina is wrestling with after the killing of Raleigh teacher Zoe Welsh. Once again, we are staring at a high-profile homicide involving a suspect with a long rap sheet and a long history of mental health problems. Once again, the public is asking questions the system has no good answer for.

Zoe was killed earlier in the month in her nice neighborhood in Raleigh

Lawyers could spend hours explaining why Welsh’s alleged killer was out on the streets. In fact, they already have. They’ll cite Supreme Court decisions, constitutional limits, and fine print. They’ll tell you “incompetent” isn’t the same as “committable” under the proper justiciable standards.

They might be right on every technical point. The outcome would still be indefensible.

Because common sense says that if a court has decided someone is not competent to stand trial, he’s not competent to be roaming around the public freely.

Especially when they have a long, long rap sheet. Camacho has been arrested over 20 times, and had done a stint in jail, but, was let out to continue committing crimes.

Gov. Josh Stein responded to Welsh’s death with a familiar line. He said that the system needs to do better, but that jail is not the right place for people in mental-health crises.

In an ideal world, he is right. The best answer is a secure psychiatric setting with serious doctors, fast evaluations, and a clear path to get the person healthy enough so the case can go back to court.

We should invest in that world, building more inpatient hospitals, hiring more evaluators and all the rest of it.

Democrats, and to a degree Republicans, have long ignore the need for mental health facilities. They keep closing them, and allow crazy people to wander around causing problems. Then they kill someone and Democrats are like “how did this happen!”

But as a state, we’ve allowed “incompetent to proceed” to become a magic phrase that dissolves all accountability. Even a layman can see that’s not workable.

So here is the rule North Carolina should adopt for cases like this. If a judge says someone is not competent for trial, that person does not go back on the street. He stays in custody until the court decides where he will be treated and what has to happen before the case can move forward. Not a shrug and a release because the system lacks a clean box.

Most of these types of laws and rules that muddle the whole justice system happen in Democrat run cities full of majority Democrats. Why do they want to deal with crime and not punish it? This is how we get nutters like this

Bummer: Democrats Are Being “Climate Hushers”

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

All except for Sheldon Whitehouse, who takes lots of fossil fueled flights, including a long one to Brazil for the last UN climate conference

Democrats are shying away from climate messaging. One of their own is fighting back.

One of Congress’ loudest climate hawks is trying to fend off a push within his party to abandon calls to combat climate change as left-leaning agenda-setters are plotting to reclaim both chambers of Congress in the midterms.

“There’s a thing out there called a ‘climate husher,’” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, the top Democrat on the Environment and Public Works Committee, posted as part of a long social media thread last week.

“Anyone who cares about what fossil fuel pollution is doing to Earth’s natural systems needs to ignore these so-called ‘climate hushers’ — people who think Dems should stop talking about climate,” he said.

In a later interview about his posts, Whitehouse warned these “climate hushers” have also made their way into strategy conversations on Capitol Hill. He noted he’s been present for some of them, which he described as “polling presentations made to the Senate Democratic Caucus in a so-called strategy retreat that didn’t ask about climate change … There’s this massive blind spot.

Here’s the thing: their strategists know that most Democrat voters and some of the unaffiliated really do not care beyond the theoretical when it comes to anthropogenic climate change, especially when put against real issues. But, don’t mistake the “hushing” as them ignoring the issue: if they win the mid-terms they are going to push it hard with legislation. They will do everything possible to roll back what Trump obliterated. And you know there will be Squish Republicans who won’t stand strong. And if they win the White House in 2028? They’ll go nuts implementing their authoritarian cult programs.

Oklahoma Gov Still Goes Squishy On Immigration

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

This was him in 2024

Governor Stitt Joins Republican Governors in Voicing Support for President Trump’s Immigration Policies

Governor Kevin Stitt joined 25 Republican governors in releasing a joint statement of support for President Trump’s immigration and border agenda.

“As Republican governors, we stand united in support of President Donald Trump’s unwavering commitment to make America safe again by addressing the illegal immigration crisis and deporting illegal immigrants who pose a threat to our communities and national security.

“When the Biden Administration refused to secure our borders and uphold the rule of law, it was Republican governors who took action. We mobilized state resources, including law enforcement and National Guard units, to protect Americans from disastrous open border policies and prevent illegal immigration from overwhelming our country.

But, you know with Republicans many go Squish easily

Republican governor questions goal of Trump immigration crackdown: ‘What is the endgame?’

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) expressed concern about the broader goals of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown Sunday, less than 24 hours after a Border Patrol agent fatally shot an American citizen in Minneapolis.

Stitt told host Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union” that while the Biden administration’s immigration policies were “disastrous,” President Trump is “getting bad advice” on the subject.

“Americans are asking themselves, ‘What is the endgame? What is the solution?’ And we believe in federalism and state rights,” he said. “And nobody likes feds coming into their state.”

“And so, what’s the goal right now? Is it to deport every single non-U.S. citizen? I don’t think that’s what Americans want,” Stitt continued. “We have to stop politicizing this. We need real solutions on immigration reform.”

No, that is the goal, as the people who voted for Trump in 2024 said. They want illegal aliens gone for the most part. They want the border shut down. They want people from 3rd world shitholes sent packing, people who have no intention of assimilating and just live off the teet of the American taxpayers. That’s the solution. Limit illegals as much as possible.

And he’s completely wrong of federalism and state rights when it comes to immigration: that power is delegated to the federal government by the Constitution. They can give some of that power to the states, but, states can do nothing about federal immigration agents rounding up illegal aliens. See, Mr. Stitt, there are federal laws about it. And it would all be so easy
