Self-Deportation Posters Supposedly Now Appearing In Court

By William Teach May 26, 2025 – 10:30 am

I’d love to know who came up with this idea. It’s definintely Troll Level A+

Lawyers say posters suggesting migrants ‘self-deport’ are now appearing in court, detention

Immigration attorneys say the Trump administration has begun hanging up fliers in English and Spanish warning immigrants to self deport.

“The point is very clear, which is to have people leave without any process or without knowing all their rights,” said Amelia Dagen, a staff attorney with the Amica Center for Immigrant Rights. “The current administration is removing information about people’s rights, their obligations, their ability to go through full legal proceedings before potentially being deported [and] their access to assistance.”

The Amica Center is one of several legal service providers around the U.S. offering legal aid to adults and children going through the immigration system.

The new material — shared by the Amica Center — says immigrants who self deport can keep money earned in the U.S., may be eligible for help flying home, and could apply for legal immigration in the future. (snip)

The American Immigration Lawyers Association has since reported seeing them in courtrooms nationwide and also in immigration detention centers, including in Arizona. Dagen says the material has also been given directly to migrants after their court proceedings — she says one asylum seeker received the paper after being granted asylum.

There is also a Spanish version of the poster. This is just fantastic.

Meanwhile

Trump administration calls out NBC News over viral Foley ICE arrest video — Says detained man ‘attempted to obstruct and prevent the lawful arrest of an illegal alien’

A man who was detained during an immigration raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement at a Foley job site recently was attempting to obstruct the lawful arrest of an illegal alien, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Video of the incident showed ICE officers in a struggle with Leonardo Garcia Venegas on a job site in Foley on Wednesday.

NBC News never mentioned that the man was obstructing federal law enforcement, and all the other Credentialed Media outlets were the same. They all failed Journalism 101. But, did a great job with Activism 101, and Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Bummer: Big Meanie Trump Trying To Stop States From Doing Something About Global Boiling

By William Teach May 26, 2025 – 7:15 am

Some of us may remember when Rolling Stone used to be for a small government. For government that stayed out of our lives and didn’t try to force us to do stuff. How times have changed

Trump Tries to Make Sure States Don’t Fight Climate Change Either

If you’re one of those gambling addicts placing bets on every imaginable future scenario that could befall this nation, and you’ve bet on it facing a maximum climate catastrophe, you’ve got a friend in the Trump administration.

When President Donald Trump took office earlier this year, climate advocates were confident that while the federal government would certainly no longer be tackling the issue of climate change, states would help pick up some of the slack. There was a sense of hope in that — at least some of this vital work would continue. This prospect has recently been put into question, because the Trump administration is now trying to prevent states from doing much of anything to limit the impacts of climate change.

The Department of Justice is currently suing the states of New York and Vermont to stop them from enforcing laws passed last year that would make fossil fuel companies liable for some of the costs of dealing with climate change. It is also suing Hawaii and Michigan over their climate-related lawsuits against fossil fuel companies. Finally, the Trump administration is working to end California’s stringent motor vehicle emissions standards and its cap-and-trade program. (Republicans in the Senate recently moved to end Califonria’s vehicle emission standards.)

All those states are doing things that affect out of state companies and other states.

Moffa says the Trump administration appears to be placing itself “on the side of private industry,” and he thinks these actions may have been taken as part of an effort to dissuade other states from pursuing similar legal action.

So, on the side of the private sector and private citizens, not the cultish politicians and bureaucrats.

States are trying to hold fossil fuel companies accountable for how they have contributed to climate change, and the Trump administration is making it clear it will have none of that. The lawsuits and strategies employed by the administration may not be successful, but they clearly create another barrier to acting on climate change. They could also make states more wary about passing new climate laws.

Yeah, well, remember, those same states have refused to give up their own use of fossil fuels for operation, especially the politicians. Also remember that a NJ Superior Court judge has already thrown out a suit “because Plaintiffs seek damages for alleged harms caused by interstate and international emissions and global warming, their claims cannot be governed by state law. Under our federal constitutional system, states cannot use their laws to resolve claims seeking redress for injuries allegedly caused by out-of-state and worldwide emissions.” So, Trump has every legal authority to stop states from doing their wacky cult stuff.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Upset Over “Intimidation”

By William Teach May 26, 2025 – 7:00 am

Does anyone remember Brandon Johnson complaining about the Biden DOJ and like minded wackos like Letitia James going after Trump and people who worked for him? How about after Christians?

Chicago mayor calls DOJ investigation into hiring a ‘clear demonstration’ of intimidation

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) accused the Trump administration on Sunday of bullying his city after the Department of Justice (DOJ) flagged it for potential racial discrimination in hiring city workers.

“This is a clear demonstration of not just animus, but intimidation,” Johnson said during an interview on MSNBC’s “The Weekend.”

The DOJ’s Civil Rights Division launched an investigation into the city’s hiring practices on Monday after Johnson touted Black city leaders during remarks at the Apostolic Church of God in Chicago last weekend.

“There are some detractors that will try and push back on me and say, ‘The only thing the mayor talks about is the hiring of Black people.’ No. What I’m saying is, when you hire our people, we always look out for everybody else,” Johnson, who is Black, told the congregation in remarks that went viral online.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon sent a letter to Johnson on Monday that cited those remarks as “suggesting that you have made hiring decisions solely on the basis of race.”

“If these kinds of hiring decisions are being made for top-level positions in your administration, then it begs the question whether such decisions are also being made for lower-level positions,” Dhillon, an ally of President Trump who unsuccessfully ran to lead the Republican National Committee in 2023, wrote in the letter. “We intend to consider all relevant information, and we welcome your assistance in helping to identify what that might be.”

He said it. And the DOJ knows his office is mostly hiring based on color. Which is against Chicago, Illinois, and federal law. Perhaps Johnson should have thought about that before engaging in racist and illegal hiring practices. 28 % of Chicago residents are black. 48% of Chicago public employees are black. What’s that called? What would Johnson be saying if a white mayor was saying he would hire mostly white people? Oh, and the last approval rating for Johnson was 6.6%, so, I’m guessing even the black folks in Chicago do not like how he’s doing his job.

There’s A Debate Online About Women Wearing Skimpy Clothes To The Gym Or Something

By William Teach May 25, 2025 – 5:30 pm

Something different, especially since I am at the gym 3-5 times a week. I’m guessing Nicole Fallert at the USA Today had nothing better to do, or, decided to do some ultra-feminism man hating

Revealing gym clothes are sparking a debate online – and maybe a return to modesty

In a world of cut-out booty shorts and strappy crop-tops, social media is debating if women should dress more modestly at the gym.

Discourse over whether the world of stretchy matching sets are too revealing isn’t new. Some say they can see people’s butts when they really don’t want to. Others say they practically need a gown to cover up to feel safe from men who leer at them. Many also argue it’s their right to wear what they want to get active. One TikToker said the issue is brands not making clothes that are size-inclusive, meaning big backsides and chests are inevitably exposed.

No matter what side people fall on, women are left asking if their outfits are enough.

See, it’s the fault of the clothing manufacturers. Funny how most do not have a problem finding clothes that fit. I love seeing a woman wearing a loose pair of shorts and shirt, because I know they are there to exercise, not look for attention.

“Am I a slut?” one TikToker asked in a video asking viewers what she was supposed to be wearing, if not the shorts shorts and spaghetti straps she had on for a workout. That simple question got over 9 million views, showing that many others are wondering the same thing.

No, you are not a slut. You are taking the amplifier up to 11. What you are is an attention seeker. You cannot tell me that most of the women wearing supertight and/or skimpy clothes aren’t looking for attention. Is it really comfortable to wear booty shorts or leggings all the way up the crack of your ass while exercising? Just an FYI, most guys and gals will look negatively at guys wearing ripped up or string muscle shirts in the gym, unless you are at a place like Gold’s Gym (are those still around?). You average gym, like Planet Fitness, Lifetime Fitness, etc, want a comfortable workout place. Heck, one of the strongest people I see in PF, benches 6 45’s, is always in a t-shirt (I noticed because I keep wondering if he is John Petrucci of Dream Theater).

BTW, the TikToker, Carla Angellica, wasn’t wearing that skimpy of clothes. Seriously, though, why would you want to wear super skimpy and touch the benches that much?

But the conversation shouldn’t be about modest gym outfits versus revealing ones, according to Einav Rabinovitch-Fox, professor of American politics and gender at Case Western Reserve University. It should focus on what happens when we think we can comment on what women wear in the first place.

Most wear the clothes for attention, so, yeah, we can comment. Mostly, men, and yeah, a lot of women, just ignore it. Because we do not want to deal with the crazies looking for attention than having fits when they get it. Especially when filming. No one has to be “modest” and all covered up. But, don’t complain when you get the attention you want. And, too be clear, I know a women who goes to my gym and is a lesbian and will look, and, as she told me once “she can get away with it” while laughing.

Personally, I like loose clothes at the gym, giving my range of movement. That’s me. I don’t care if anyone is looking. I’m not there for socializing. I’m there for, to use a Millennial term, me time. Also, look, there are creepers at the gym. Men and women. If you’re dressing to get people to look, don’t be surprised they look. It doesn’t make you a slut, it makes you a narcissistic attention seeker.

Trump Admin Slams Crazy Federal Judge In Boston For Blocking Deporations

By William Teach May 25, 2025 – 7:00 am

The Supreme Court really needs to jump in and put an end to all these rogue, unhinged leftist judges who seem more intent on protect illegal alien criminals, than Americans. The law allows deportation

Trump administration slams Boston federal judge for preventing deportations

President Trump says he hopes the Supreme Court will “put an END to the quagmire that has been caused by the Radical Left,” pointing to how a federal judge in Boston blocked a deportation flight of illegal immigrants to South Sudan.

The Trump administration is sounding off after federal Judge Brian Murphy, who President Biden appointed to the District of Massachusetts last year, ruled the flight to the war-torn African nation “unquestionably” violated one of his previous court orders.

In April, Murphy ruled aliens subject to removal must be allowed to argue that their safety would be jeopardized if they were deported to a country other than their homeland. That led the judge to block flights to Libya earlier this month.

In an emergency hearing to address reports of the flight headed for South Sudan, Murphy said the eight illegal immigrants convicted of violent crime aboard the plane were not given a meaningful opportunity to object that the deportation could put them in danger.

These were not good people. Murderers, people who sexually assault children and the disabled, and more.

“A Federal Judge in Boston, who knew absolutely nothing about the situation, or anything else, has ordered that EIGHT of the most violent criminals on Earth curtail their journey to South Sudan, and instead remain in Djibouti,” Trump sounded off on Truth Social on Thursday. “He would not allow these monsters to proceed to their final destination.”

“This is not the premise under which I was elected President, which was to PROTECT our Nation,” the president added. “The Judges are absolutely out of control, they’re hurting our Country, and they know nothing about particular situations, or what they are doing — And this must change, IMMEDIATELY!”

Perhaps a little overboard, but, again, these are not good people. Why do we want them in the country? Trump should put the next batch of scumbags in the judges neighborhood while awaiting their hearings.

“Judge Brian Murphy is not the secretary of state, he is not the secretary of defense, or the commander in chief. He is a district court judge in Massachusetts,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters in Washington on Thursday. “He cannot control foreign policy or national security of the United States of America, and to suggest otherwise is being completely absurd.”

But Murphy and all the others think they are in charge of the Executive Branch

ICE arrests alleged gun-running, fentanyl trafficking, indecent assault suspects across Massachusetts

An illegal immigrant arrested in Boston for allegedly peddling “poison” fentanyl while armed is also wanted in his home country for gun running, and appears to be part of the “second surge” of ICE arrests the agency vowed to roll out in the city.

Julio Soto-Heredia, 44, of the Dominican Republic, was arrested Sunday by ICE agents, the agency announced Tuesday. He’s also wanted in his home country for alleged firearms trafficking.

“After Dominican authorities charged Julio Soto-Heredia with firearms trafficking, he later illegally entered the United States and attempted to hide out in Boston,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde.

Will Murphy try and block ICE from deporting this scumbag?

Your Fault: Sleep Apnea Worse Because You Drove A Fossil Fueled Vehicle

By William Teach May 24, 2025 – 3:36 pm

Yes, your fault. Not the fault of the Elites who drive in big fossil fueled limos and fly private fossil fueled jets, of course. Just you, Mr and Mrs middle class, who take the kids around in fossil fueled mini-vans

Climate Change Is Worsening Sleep Apnea

We all have cause to take climate change personally. Not only do higher temperatures lead to such mega-events as droughts, heat waves, wildfires, and floods, they also affect human health—exacerbating asthma, allergies, cardiovascular disease, the spread of water-borne pathogens, and more. Now, it appears that a warming world affects us in one other, potentially life-threatening way. That’s according to a new, yet-to-be-peer-reviewed paper presented May 18 at the 2025 gathering of the American Thoracic Society in San Francisco. Researchers found that as the heat increases, so too does the incidence and severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), increasing the risk of hypertension, heart attack, stroke, and death.

Sounds like one of those drug commercials with people dancing and laughing and doing fun things, where taking the medicine results in extreme diarrhea, vomiting, and up to and including death.

“We were surprised at the magnitude of the association between ambient temperature and OSA severity,” said Bastien Lechat, the lead author of the paper and a senior research fellow at South Australia’s Flinders Health and Medicine Research Institute, in a statement that accompanied the recent presentation. “This study really highlights the societal burden associated with the increase in OSA prevalence due to rising temperatures.”

A 1.6F increase in global temperatures in 175 years is not a big deal.

In order to conduct their work, Lechat and his team collected data from 125,295 users of an under-mattress apnea sensor, in 41 countries, gathering readings recorded from January 2020 to September 2023. The sensor consists of an inflatable mat positioned beneath the point of the mattress that is at chest level with the sleeper. Changes in the air pressure within the mat record bodily, respiratory, and even cardiac motion. “By analyzing these signals with proprietary machine learning … the device can estimate a range of metrics, including sleep duration, sleep stages, awakenings, and periods of breathing cessation,” Lechat said in an email to TIME. Those cessations in breathing are what constitutes apnea.

Large study group. Is there any comparison to previous decades? Or, how about the Little Ice Age? Previous Holocene warm periods?

The researchers collected a median of 509 nights of readings from each individual, and then correlated the results with 24-hour ambient temperature models. The results were striking, showing a significant association between apnea and temperature in 29 of the countries studied, or well more than half. In those places, rising heat was associated with a 45% increase in the likelihood of an individual having at least one apnea episode on a given night. That does not come cheap. Crunching their numbers, the researchers estimated that across the sample group, the increase in apnea incidence resulted in a loss of more than 785,000 healthy life years—or years without disability or death—in 2023 alone. Loss of healthy life years has an economic cost too, with an estimated $32 billion reduction in workplace productivity in 2023.

Um, most have air conditioning. Climate controls. If it is warmer at night, and I won’t argue that it isn’t, mostly due to air pollution and more buildings holding heat at lower levels at night, which has little to do with CO2, we still keep our homes at a good temperature. I keep it 72 during the warm/hot months. Even if it is 85 outside at night, I’m still cool at 72. Especially with ceiling fans on. They are always on in Casa Teach.

For now, the mechanism linking temperature and the cessation of breathing is not clear. Lechat and his colleagues speculate that heat may lead to lighter sleep—which is the stage of sleep during which apnea tends to be more severe. Behavioral factors may be at play too: when temperatures are higher, individuals may be less likely to wear their continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks, which are prescribed to reduce or prevent apnea.

So, the whole rest of the article, in fact the “study”, is just bullshit? Scaremongering mule fritters based on speculation?

Funny how so many Cult of Climastrology articles start out with Doom Is Coming! and end in “well, um, you see, it’s all speculation”.

Jewish Protester Charged For Mocking Hezbollah In The UK

By William Teach May 24, 2025 – 10:30 am

How many have been arrested in the UK over chanting “from the river to the sea”? Or wearing Intifada keffiyehs, a sign of killing Jews and replacing Israel with a Palestinian caliphate? Or for flying flags in support of Hezbollah and Hamas, designated terrorist organizations by the United Kingdom? Heck, for terrorizing and assaulting Jews?

Jewish protester charged over placard mocking terrorist leader

A Jewish protester was arrested by the Metropolitan Police after he briefly held a placard satirising a Hezbollah terrorist leader, The Telegraph can reveal.

The British man, who has asked to remain anonymous for his safety, was detained and charged last September over a cartoon that showed Hasan Nasrallah, the Lebanese terror chief, with a pager and the words “beep, beep, beep”.

The placard satirised a targeted Israeli attack, dubbed Operation Grim Beeper, in which explosives in pagers and walkie-talkies killed 42 people, mostly Hezbollah terrorists. Nasrallah survived, but was killed in an air strike a week later.

During questioning, police repeatedly asked the man – who was part of a counter-demonstration against a pro-Palestinian march – if he believed the image would offend “clearly pro-Hezbollah and anti-Israel” activists.

Hezbollah is a terror group, which is proscribed in the UK.

Well, the government has to placate their Islamic terrorism supporters, who also hate Jews. You know, all the ones they invited in who are changing the UK into an Islamist nation

The decision by police to allow pro-Palestinian demonstrators to march through London since the Oct 7 massacre, including in areas with high Jewish populations and near synagogues, has been highly contentious.

The man’s case is the latest in a string of heavy-handed police responses to lawful expression. Last year, The Telegraph reported how columnist Allison Pearson was questioned at home by two officers over an X post following pro-Palestinian protests.

The Telegraph also uncovered the case of Julian Foulkes, a retired special constable, who was wrongly cautioned by Kent Police for warning about the threat of anti-Semitism in Britain.

The British police have been pretty heavy handed on many things, like COVID. Like “mean” social media posts. Except where Jew hatred and Islamic extremism is concerned. Then it will be ignored. That’s how you end up with the Rotherham grooming/raping issue, which went on for over a decade.

Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said it was an example of “two-tier policing in action”.

He told The Telegraph: “In recent times, the police have failed to act when confronted with protesters calling for jihad and intifada in London. Yet this man was apparently arrested because he might have offended supporters of a banned terrorist organisation.

The UK is pretty much lost at this point. How do they change

The area, near the home of Tzipi Hotovely, the Israeli ambassador, has been targeted almost weekly by pro-Palestinian activists since the October 7 massacre.

On Sept 20, a pro-Palestine demonstrator was filmed in the area shouting “I love the 7th of October” and “I like any organisation that starts with H”. He was arrested under terrorism legislation, but was not charged.

And the man arrested was at the counter-demonstration the same day.
