FAFO: Wackjob Judge Rules ICE Agents Can Be Arrested In Chicago Area Courthouse

By William Teach October 21, 2025 – 6:45 am

I seriously hope any local, county, or state law enforcement officer has read federal code

lest they find themselves being arrested. This judge is giving you Really Bad Advice

Chicago-Area Judge Rules ICE Agents Can Be Arrested at Courthouses

A Chicago-area judge has ruled that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers can be arrested at Cook County courthouses if they violate his orders and arrest a migrant without a warrant.

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings ordered that ICE officers are barred from arresting migrants at courthouses if they don’t have a warrant. He also ordered that federal law enforcement can be arrested if they violate his orders.

The judge’s order aimed to prevent what are called “collateral arrests” of people whom ICE officers discover are illegal on the spot. These are migrants that ICE agents come across by happenstance while looking for someone they have a warrant to apprehend.

Cummings stated that courthouses must be places where witnesses and suspects feel safe.

These judges are just making it up as they go along, and, this ruling, like what, 90%? of judges TDS rulings are overturned. ICE has never needed a warrant before, at least when Biden and Obama were in office and arresting illegals in the safe area of courthouses, where most criminal illegals are disarmed.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it intends to “comply with all lawful court orders and is addressing this matter with the court.”

However, DHS also defended its practice of taking “collateral” migrants into custody whenever they find them.

“We aren’t some medieval kingdom; there are no legal sanctuaries where you can hide and avoid the consequences for breaking the law,” DHS said in a statement, according to WBBM-TV. “Nothing in the Constitution prohibits arresting a lawbreaker where you find them.”

DHS should declare the neighborhood where the judge lives as a safe space for illegals, see how he likes it. Anyhow, King Donald and his court go and…..follow “every outrageous injunction issued by hubristic district court judges to stymie his agenda” and appeal, right up till a higher judge goes “yeah, you’re right, the lower court judge is an idiot.”

Trump Wins Again: 9th Circuit Says He Can Send National Guard to Portland

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled Monday that President Donald Trump has the authority to deploy the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, reversing a decision by a district judge earlier this month.

It was the second time the Ninth Circuit — despite its reputation as a liberal bastion — overruled lower courts and allowed Trump to exercise his constitutional powers as commander-in-chief; the first case was California.

Raleigh Exhibit Shows How David Thoreau Mapped ‘Climate Change’ Or Something

By William Teach October 20, 2025 – 4:04 pm

There’s something seriously missing from this “we’re all doomed piece”

Raleigh Exhibition Shows How Thoreau Helped Map Climate Change

Henry David Thoreau was big on taking walks—or “sauntering,” the word he once used in a lecture on the subject. In that lecture, the writer and philosopher asserted that he couldn’t feel well unless he sauntered for at least four hours a day.

It was on those long walks around Concord, Massachusetts, that Thoreau collected hundreds of botanical specimens, which he then brought home to press, scribbling down notes about where and when each plant was collected. Now, 648 of those preserved specimens are housed and digitized in the Harvard University Herbaria.

But while those specimens from Concord made it to this century in preserved form, many of the actual plants didn’t survive: an estimated 30 percent of the species from Thoreau’s records have gone “locally extinct,” according to the museum, with another 35 percent “close to the same fate.”

In Search of Thoreau’s Flowers: An Exploration of Change and Loss, currently on view at NC State University’s Gregg Museum of Art & Design, draws on that digitized collection in a small but expansive-feeling exhibit that contends with the loss of biodiversity. Originally mounted at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, the exhibit represents the joint scholarship of Marsha Gordon, Robin Vuchnich, Leah Sobsey, and Emily Meineke, an effort that marries science, art, and the humanities. This iteration of the exhibit, which expands on the original by tying in North Carolina flora and fauna, opened in September and runs through January 31, 2026.

Here’s the thing: times change. Thoreau lived from 1817-1862, so, born in the midst of a Holocene cool period, died as a typical Holocene warm period was starting. Things change.

The story spends a lot of time on the exhibition, interesting to read. Then

Is it depressing to see renderings of species we’ve driven out with deforestation, pollution, pesticide use, and a hundred other facets of modern life? Absolutely. Global insect populations are in a free fall, with a 2019 study determining that 40 percent of insect species are in decline, with the rate of species decline topping out at 2.5 percent a year.

Now, that is real. Mankind have an ecological effect through the aforementioned issues. We can do better, and we do do better now. Not so good hundreds of years ago.

“This came together from four friends, really,” Gordon says. “We were trying to think through something we could do around questions of climate change and the environment—thinking about it in a way that is realistic about what is happening in our country and all over the world, but also not to be so doom and gloom that people shut off.”

So, they took Thoreau’s stuff and put their own little cult spin on it

Thanks to Thoreau and other area naturalists, the ecosystem of Concord—which author Henry James once called “the biggest little place in America,” due to its historical import—has been documented across centuries. That record formed a portrait of the biological impacts of climate change. In Walden Warming, the botanist Richard Primack observes that Thoreau’s archives helped scientists determine that local plants were now flowering weeks earlier than they were 160 years ago.

1860 was right near the start of the warming, so, yeah. And, perhaps if we did better environmentally and didn’t waste time on cult stuff we could do more.

Wacko: Canadian PM Says Would Arrest Netanyahu If He Comes To Canada

By William Teach October 20, 2025 – 10:30 am

Netanyahu should come visit Trump, and they can both go up to the border and hold a “Carney Sucks” sign

Canada’s Carney says he would uphold ICC warrant if Netanyahu were to enter country

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated he would uphold former prime minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he were to enter Canada, in accordance with the International Criminal Court arrest warrant.

Carney made the statement during an interview with Mishal Husain on Bloomberg’s The Mishal Husain Show, aired on Sunday.

When asked directly whether he would be prepared to arrest Netanyahu, Carney replied: “Yes.”

Addressing the future of Canadian policy on Palestinian statehood, Carney said, “The end goal is a free and viable Palestinian state living side by side in peace and security with the State of Israel.”

What makes him think Palestinians, who back Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, etc, would be able to live in peace in their own nation being right next to Israel? They can’t do it now. Palestinians which no other Arab nation will take in anymore, because of all the violent problems they cause?

Perhaps Carney is willing to take the all in to Canada, eh? Set aside 141 square miles, the size of Gaza, then a couple hundred more for those in the West Bank. Canada has plenty of unused space. And then we’ll see how quickly you build a massive wall with razor wire and more to stop them from attacking Canadians.

Weirdly, Canada is not arresting pro-Hamas people

or the pro-Hamas who do this

Too Bad, Climate (cult) Youts Lose On Aviation Fuel In Hawaii

By William Teach October 20, 2025 – 7:00 am

Actually, I was hoping they would win on this

Teens Who Successfully Sued Hawai?i Over Climate Change Lose On Aviation

The Hawaiian islands are overrun with feral pigs

The Hawai?i Department of Transportation has made plant-based jet fuel a centerpiece of its final plan to reduce carbon emissions under an agreement with a group of Hawai?i teens who had sued the state over climate change.

The teens had objected to a draft plan to use the fuel – the airplane equivalent of biodiesel – as a tool for implementing the settlement, which requires the state to eliminate all carbon emissions related to transportation in Hawai?i by 2045.

The settlement involves all forms of transportation, but aviation is the biggest problem. Interisland air travel produces more than 50% of Hawai?i’s transportation emissions, and there is no existing technology to cut that to zero.

The settlement called for the Department of Transportation to create a plan to meet the 2045 deadline. In a draft plan issued in June, the department identified the bio-jet fuel as the best solution for reducing aviation emissions. The teen plaintiffs objected, saying the bio-jet fuel wasn’t 100% carbon-free and carried other negative environmental impacts. Instead, they said the state should focus on electric airplanes.

But the aviation industry says electric airplane technology is limited and that the best tool is bio-jet fuel, known in industry parlance as sustainable aviation fuel, or SAF. The industry says SAF produces 50% to 80% less carbon than regular jet fuel.

The kiddies do not like the use of this “fuel”, and, I agree with them: until all electric planes and helicopters are available I think the use of the planes and helicopters should be banned for inter-island use. Not even using the “bio-fuel”, which is barely available. It’s not like Hawaii has the manufacturing base for it. It would have to be transported in by fossil fueled tankers, just like gas, diesel, and oil now.

Keep fighting, kids! It would mean a lot fewer visitors coming to Hawaii for vacations and weddings and conventions and stuff, reducing that carbon footprint!

Good News: Immigration Crackdown To Eliminate 15 Million Workers

By William Teach October 20, 2025 – 6:45 am

We should shoot for higher numbers

Trump immigration crackdown may eliminate 15M workers by 2035: Study

A new study released Friday says President Trump’s immigration enforcement policies will decrease the country’s workforce by 15 million people over the next decade.

“The Trump administration’s policies on illegal and legal immigration would reduce the projected number of workers in the United States by 6.8 million by 2028 and by 15.7 million by 2035 and lower the annual rate of economic growth by almost one-third, harming U.S. living standards,” the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) wrote in its analysis of deportation efforts led by the White House.

The research organization said the new migrant policies will “substantially” increase the federal debt by $1.74 trillion and reduce gross domestic product (GDP) by $12.1 trillion throughout the span of the next 10 years.

And there it is: the old leftist trope about illegals putting tons of money into the treasury, and that we need illegals more than they need us. Of course, these are the same people who said Trump’s tariffs (which I was against to start with, I wanted a year or so of negotiation first) would cause a recession/depression.

“The reductions in legal immigration include suspending and reducing refugee admissions, the travel ban enacted in 2025, ending Temporary Protected Status and humanitarian parole programs, prohibiting international students from working on Optional Practical Training and STEM OPT after completing coursework and other changes, such as an expected public charge rule, to restrict legal immigration,” researchers wrote.

So, see, we need to be bringing in a million people from nations who do not speak the language and expect the US to assimilate to them, plus, millions in tech jobs, taking them away from eligible Americans.

“Increasing the federal debt will reduce living standards in the United States by leading to higher levels of taxation, inflation and interest rates than without such debt,” researchers wrote.

Or, the federal government could just spend less on unnecessary things, eh?

Meanwhile, Tom Souza (D-NY) says there’s a better way to to do immigration. He spends a lot of time whining about Trump’s immigration raids, and

(NY Times) The Trump administration’s crackdown in Chicago is also a reminder that only Congress can permanently fix our immigration system. It cannot be done by executive orders, presidential decrees, lawsuits or agency directives. One president can issue an order, the next can reverse it. Judges can block policies or gut them. Cabinet officials can change enforcement priorities overnight. That’s not real leadership; it’s political theater.

Um, Tom? Congress has already passed lots of laws, which give the Executive Branch the authority to do what Trump is doing.

Lawmakers should also fix our guest worker programs and create earned legal status for longtime residents. The border needs to be secure, but children should not live in fear of losing their parents to a midnight raid and families that have built lives here deserve the chance to earn legal status.

We should revamp our guest worker program so that all those who used to come in, work for a bit, then leave, like they used to. They shouldn’t be bringing their whole families and just staying. No pathway to citizenship. But, that’s what Democrats want: tens of millions of new Democrat voters.

Next Mayor Of NYC Campaigns With Islamic Terrorist Linked To 1993 World Trade Center Bombing

By William Teach October 19, 2025 – 7:00 am

Some say Cuomo has a chance to win if Curtis Sliwa drops out. Maybe, maybe not, far Left New Yorkers seems bound and determined to elect the hardcore socialist. Except, is he really a socialist?

From the link

Lefty NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani gleefully campaigned this week with a notorious, gay-hating Brooklyn imam who is an unindicted co-conspirator in 1993 World Trade Center bombing and who has been linked to other terrorist activity in the United States — including urging “jihad” on the Big Apple.

The Democratic frontrunner to become the city’s next mayor was seen laughing and grinning while standing arm-in-arm with Siraj Wahhaj  at the imam’s Bedford-Stuyvesant mosque in a photo the socialist posted to X a day after the first mayoral debate.

Councilman Yusef Salaam (D-Manhattan), a member of the Central Park 5 who was elected in November 2023, was also in the photo.

“Today at Masjid At-Taqwa, I had the pleasure of meeting with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders and a pillar of the Bed-Stuy community for nearly half a century,” Mamdani wrote on X of the Friday encounter.

Wahhaj, 75, who also heads the Muslim Alliance in North America, was fingered by prosecutors as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 WTC bombing, which left six people dead, and has publicly defended the plotters of the attack against the FBI and CIA, whom he at the time dubbed the “real terrorists.”

During subsequent trials, Wahhaj testified in support of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman — the infamous “blind sheikh” and leader of a terrorist sect out of Egypt — calling the man a “respected scholar.”

The Imam is a homegrown terrorist, having been born in Brooklyn.

Wahhaj has also derided the LGBTQ community as “a disease of this society,” the report found.

Aren’t Democrats supposed to be 100% supportive of LGBTQ?

Wahhaj is a mentor of Brooklyn-based Muslim activist Linda Sarsour, the intelligence report notes.

Yeah, she’s a wackjob Islamic extremist

The Israel-hating, Palestinian-American firebrand is one of Mamdani’s mentors and has played a big role in his mayoral campaign.

Will the Jews in NYC vote for Mamdani?

Trump Admin Helps Scuttle Global Climate (scam) Shipping Tax

By William Teach October 18, 2025 – 5:13 pm

I mentioned the other day that the Trump admin was heavily against this, and, now

US helps sink world’s first global carbon tax after threatening sanctions against countries supporting it

A fierce Trump administration push to stop the global shipping industry from paying for its own climate pollution appeared to have been successful Friday, as efforts to approve the “world’s first global carbon tax” collapsed.

It had been widely assumed the tax would be adopted during a summit in London at the International Maritime Organization, the UN-backed body that governs global shipping. But after four days of fraught negotiations, countries agreed to delay a vote on whether to approve it by 12 months.

The decision came after a vociferous US campaign, with President Donald Trump calling it a “scam tax” and the State Department threatening reprisals on countries supporting it.

Experts say the collapse of the talks marks not only a significant blow for attempts to clean up a heavily climate-polluting industry, undermining decades of negotiations, but also represents yet another failure of climate diplomacy.

How about this: all the people, particularly the Elites, who are pushing climate taxes and stuff should make their own lives carbon neutral? No more fossil fueled flights, no more luxury autos, live in small homes, etc and so on? Leave the rest of us the fuck alone.
