Unhinged Judge Apologizes To WHCA Dinner Shooter

By William Teach May 5, 2026 – 10:30 am

Where the hell are all these wackjob judges coming from? I know it’s D.C., but, sheesh, this is a federal magistrate

Judge Apologizes to Alleged WHCD Attacker for Treatment in Jail

A judge issued an apology to Cole Tomas Allen, the alleged White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner attacker, for how he has been treated while being held in jail.

During a hearing on Monday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui expressed his apologies to Allen, who has been “held in the safe cell,” according to ABC7 News. Faruqui reportedly said the safe cell was “tantamount to solitary confinement.”

The judge also gave the Washington, DC, Department of Corrections a deadline of Tuesday “to notify when the jail’s housing board will” make a decision regarding “which section of the jail” Allen will be placed in, according to the outlet.

Faruqui’s apology to Allen comes after Allen’s attorneys said in court filings that Allen “was placed on suicide watch shortly after arriving at the D.C. jail.”

Due to Allen being placed on suicide watch, he was put in “what’s known as a ‘safe cell,’ a padded room with constant lighting and 24-hour lockdown conditions,” according to the outlet. Allen’s attorneys claimed that he showed “no signs of being a risk.”

It’s hard enough getting a decent jury in D.C., now we have a wackadoodle judge being barking moonbat

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro criticized the judge for believing “a defendant armed to the teeth and attempting to assassinate the president is entitled to preferential treatment.”

“Welcome to Washington, D.C., where U.S. Magistrate Judge Faruqui believes a defendant armed to the teeth and attempting to assassinate the president is entitled to preferential treatment in his confinement compared to every other defendant,” Pirro wrote in a post on X.

I wonder if the DOJ could apply for a change of venue after this?

DOJ Sues Minnesota Over Climate (scam) Lawsuit

By William Teach May 5, 2026 – 7:15 am

Man, now that’s a real shame when your scam lawsuit gets hit with a lawsuit

US Justice Dept sues to block Minnesota’s climate change lawsuit

The U.S. Justice Department filed a lawsuit on Monday to block Minnesota from moving forward ?with a long-running lawsuit seeking to hold Exxon Mobil , opens new tab and other ?oil industry participants responsible for harms caused by climate change.

The lawsuit marked the latest in a series of cases President Donald Trump’s administration has filed that have sought to prevent Democratic-led states from ?enforcing laws or pursuing lawsuits that target fossil fuel companies over climate ?change.

Judges have recently dismissed two similar lawsuits that the Justice Department ?filed against Michigan and Hawaii, which are among the numerous states and local governments that have ?in recent years pursued climate-change-related investigations or lawsuits against fossil fuel producers.

The Justice Department’s ?latest lawsuit took aim at a lawsuit that Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison filed in 2020 during Trump’s first term against Exxon, Koch Industries and the American Petroleum Institute. (snip)

The Justice Department argues that through its ?lawsuit, Minnesota ?is seeking in violation of the U.S. Constitution to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, which are the exclusive domain of the federal government.

Ellison in a statement pledged to seek the ?dismissal of ?the “frivolous and meritless” lawsuit.

You mean like Minnesota’s shakedown suit? Have they considered what would happen if they win, namely that Exxon Mobil will simply stop selling their products in the state, and other fossil fuels companies will follow suit?

LOL: Now Connecticut Tries Restricting Federal Immigration Agents

By William Teach May 5, 2026 – 7:00 am

This is going to die a nice legal death like the rest

New Connecticut law bars ICE from warrantless arrests in certain locations

Gov. Ned Lamont signed a sweeping immigration bill Monday that state leaders say will limit where federal immigration agents can make arrests in Connecticut and expand legal protections for people who believe their rights were violated.

Senate Bill 397, titled “An Act Concerning Democracy and Government Accountability,” restricts immigration enforcement agents from making warrantless arrests in certain locations, including churches, schools, hospitals and courthouses. The law also allows individuals who have been detained to sue agents if they believe their rights were violated.

“We didn’t waste any time, and now it’s the law of the land here in the state of Connecticut,” Lamont said. “We’re standing up and fighting for each and every one of you. That’s what Connecticut is all about.”

The bill covers several aspects of immigration enforcement. In addition to limiting warrantless arrests and expanding the ability to pursue civil action, it requires federal, state and local officials to show their faces and wear badges or name tags while conducting enforcement actions.

The DOJ will certainly file a lawsuit within a week, but, really, there is no hurry, because it’s unconstitutional, and has no power over federal law enforcement. Connecticut could keep ICE from conduction big ops by simply handing over the illegals who commit crimes.

Students and workers across the state say the law brings a sense of relief.

“This means my parents don’t have to think twice before driving me somewhere,” said Melany Yunga, a senior at Wilbur Cross High School. “My siblings will grow up in a more just and safe place. We can live now with a little more safety and peace. That’s what this bill is about—our ability to exist without constant fear.”

Good luck, sweety. Maybe you should read the Constitution.

Study Says New Orleans Must Start Relocating Now Or Something

By William Teach May 4, 2026 – 3:00 pm

This is a city that has pretty much been at barely above sea level to below sea level, right? The one that needed all those dikes and such?

‘Point of no return’: New Orleans relocation must start now due to sea level, study finds

Sherman Potter Bull CookiesThe process of relocating people from New Orleans should start immediately, as the city has reached a “point of no return” that will see it surrounded by the ocean within decades due to the climate crisis, a stark new study has concluded.

Ongoing sea-level rise and the rampant erosion of wetlands in southern Louisiana will swallow up the New Orleans area within a few generations, with the new paper estimating the city “may well be surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico before the end of this century”.

Low-lying southern Louisiana faces multiple threats, with rising sea levels driven by global heating, compounded by strengthening hurricanes, also a feature of the climate crisis, and the gradual subsidence of a coastline that has been carved apart by the oil and gas industry.

So much BS

Southern Louisiana is facing 3-7 metres of sea-level rise and the loss of three-quarters of its remaining coastal wetlands, which will cause the shoreline “to migrate as much as 100km (62 miles) inland”, thereby stranding New Orleans and Baton Rouge, according to the study, which compared today’s rising global temperatures with a period of similar heat 125,000 years ago that caused a rise in sea level.

This scenario makes the region the “most physically vulnerable coastal zone in the world”, the researchers state, and requires immediate action to prepare a smooth transition for people away from New Orleans, which has a population of about 360,000 people, to safer ground. (snip)

Keenan said the timeframe available to plan a retreat isn’t certain but “it’s most likely decades rather than centuries”.

“Even if you stopped climate change today, New Orleans’s days are still numbered,” he added. “It will be surrounded by open water, and you can’t keep an island situated below sea level afloat. There’s no amount of money that can do that.”

That part of the Gulf has serious apparent sea rise because of land subsidence. Florida is not seeing anywhere close to the sea rise Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and Alabama are. If you look at the elevation map for New Orleans and the whole area south of it, it’s not pretty, and hasn’t pretty for probably at least 1,000 years, if not going back to the beginning of the Holocene. Just more scaremongering. When is this 3-7 meters (9.84 to 22.96 feet) going to happen? Especially when the 20th Century saw a completely average 7 inches of sea rise?

Politico: Should Congressional Creeps Be Investigated Or Shamed?

By William Teach May 4, 2026 – 10:30 am

Politico is missing the 1st point

Investigate them or shame them? Inside the debate over how to deal with creeps in Congress

double standardsTwo recent lawmaker resignations over sexual misconduct allegations have Congress wrestling with a familiar challenge: How can it encourage survivors of abuse to come forward in one of America’s most sensitive workplaces?

Former Reps. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) and Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) were both accused of sexual misconduct with staff, putting a fresh spotlight on Capitol Hill’s apparent culture of exploitation — nearly a decade after the #MeToo movement sparked a bipartisan push to improve the reporting process.

Now current and former members are reckoning with the shortcomings of those efforts.

“What we know is that the process is not working, because women staffers are not coming forward with the allegations, the accusations,” Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (D-N.M.) said in an interview. “They’re not telling us what happened to them.”

They have zero trust in the process when it comes to investigating Congress members

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), for instance, has asked any congressional staffers experiencing mistreatment or misconduct to bring their allegations directly to her office. Boebert has pledged to keep accusers anonymous as she uses her media platforms to publicize any credible allegations.

While Boebert said in an interview that she hasn’t written off the official channels completely, other options have to be open.

“Whatever actually holds people accountable,” she said. “I mean, that’s what it’s all about — holding creeps accountable.”

The problem with many of these cases is that they do not rise to criminal complaints that would be best in the legal justice system: they are technical violations of the rules of Congress, much like at most people’s places of work. But, in most private companies the harasser would be terminated in a week, tops

There is no traditional human resources department on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers run their offices as fiefdoms with total control. And employees of the legislative branch are not covered by federal whistleblower protection laws like federal workers in the executive branch.

The House Ethics Committee can take months to issue any formal decisions or disciplinary recommendations, sowing doubt among lawmakers that it is the best means for survivors of misconduct to seek justice.

And, if the mostly women being harassed blow the whistle and name names Congress critters can take serious revenge, with all their buddies throughout government getting involved. Or, they get paid off and the Congress critters can continue with their bad behavior. I wonder if they can be sued? Sexual harassment would not be protected actions under the Constitution.

This is a pretty long piece, and worth the read, in terms of many GOP and Dem women saying they are coming after the abusers, but, Politico is missing that important piece: freedom of the press is mentioned specifically in the 1st Amendment, in order for the press to keep government honest, to investigate wrong doing, to hold government accountable. How many in the press knew about what Swalwell was doing, and ignored it, mostly because he is a Democrat? The press needs to do their job.

The person involved is Former state Rep. Cecil Brockman (Democrat), who’s looking at life in prison with all the child sex charges he’s charged with. Maybe the news should be investigating elected people more deeply, along with where all that government money is going.

Sigh: Climate Cult Using The Day After Tomorrow Again To Scaremonger On AMOC

By William Teach May 4, 2026 – 7:15 am

Look, I love horror movies and books, especially zombie ones, but, I don’t use them to scaremonger on policy

Infamous disaster scenario can rapidly unfold, study finds

Add another study to the pile of research raising alarms about a looming climate disaster.

Scientists have been closely watching the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) for years. In April, two studies noted the critical current is in danger of weakening or even collapsing due to climate change, which could impact the climate and weather for hundreds of millions of people.

If you missed those studies, you might still know the current from the movie “The Day After Tomorrow,” which took quite a few liberties in its depiction of what would happen if the current suddenly collapsed due to climate change.

Now, a new study released April 29 says the AMOC has changed rapidly in the past, due to “violent volcanic eruptions” that eventually cooled the entire planet.

The current threat to the AMOC isn’t volcanoes, but excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from human-caused climate change. According to the lead author of the new study, Lucien Nana Yobo of Texas A&M, his research “shows how sensitive the AMOC is to climate disturbances.”

If so, then why do so few Warmists give up their own carbon footprints? Bueller? Bueller? Nothing like using a doomsday movie to push your cult business.

LOL: Michigan Supreme Court Thinks They Can Dictate Where ICE Can Arrest Illegals

By William Teach May 4, 2026 – 7:00 am

It’s so precious that they think this means anything

Michigan Supreme Court moves to curb courthouse immigration arrests

The Michigan Supreme Court adopted a new rule aiming to limit law enforcement’s ability to make civil arrests — including immigration arrests of suspected noncitizens — in state and local courtrooms.

The amended rule, which took effect May 1, prohibits civil arrests of people “going to, attending, and returning from” places they’re required to attend in any of Michigan’s trial or appellate courthouses, covering parties in court cases, attorneys, witnesses and jurors. It would not interfere with criminal or court-ordered arrests.

The change adds Michigan to the list of states trying to limit immigration arrests following court proceedings, which have ramped up in recent months as President Donald Trump’s administration cracks down on illegal immigration.

Proponents believe such language helps mitigate fears that showing up to a courthouse could end in an arrest or racial profiling.

I wonder how this is going to work?

But opponents said state courts shouldn’t interfere with federal enforcement activity, arguing that immigration law should be followed both inside and outside of courthouses.

In a concurring opinion published April 29, Justice Noah Hood wrote the amendment “falls squarely within this Court’s rulemaking function and does not exceed it.”

He argued the rule change promotes court safety and accessibility and does not interfere with legislative or executive branch mandates.

Yeah, well, Hood wrote

Second, and relatedly, the amendment does nothing to impair federal or state executives from lawfully executing existing laws. For example, under the amendment, a county sheriff could potentially still coordinate and cooperate with federal authorities to execute lawful administrative immigration detainers.1

So, basically he’s saying that this rule really won’t stop federal agents, or even state agents, from detaining someone over a civil matter at court. You know, where it’s usually safer because the subjects do not have weapons.

Also in the order

At first blush, it would seem that the proposed court rule would apply to ICE agents. MCL 600.1821 does not discriminate in regard to who makes the arrest. Indeed, MCL 600.1821(9) states:

Every person making or procuring a civil arrest contrary to [MCL 600.1821(1) through (7)] is guilty of contempt of court and is liable to the person arrested in double the amount of damages which a jury finds that he has sustained and also is liable in an action at the suit of any injured person for the loss, hindrance, and damage the injured person has sustained in consequence of the arrest.

Yeah, well, good luck arresting ICE agents.
