Bummer: “Maryland Man” May Be Deported To Uganda

This makes all those Democrats who are supporting an illegal alien who’s a member of MS-13, beats his wife, and is accused of human trafficking a big sad

US seeks to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda after he refused plea offer in his smuggling case

Immigration officials said they intend to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda after he declined an offer to be sent to Costa Rica in exchange for remaining in jail and pleading guilty to human smuggling charges, his defense attorneys told a court Saturday.

The Costa Rica offer came late Thursday and included a requirement that he remain in jail for the time being and then serve whatever sentence he would receive for pleading guilty, according to a brief filed in Tennessee, where the criminal case was brought. After Abrego Garcia left jail on Friday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement notified his attorneys that he would be deported to Uganda and should report to immigration authorities on Monday.

Later on Friday, “the government informed Mr. Abrego that he has until first thing Monday morning — precisely when he must report to ICE’s Baltimore Field Office — to accept a plea in exchange for deportation to Costa Rica, or else that offer will be off the table forever,” his defense attorneys wrote. (snip)

Justice Department spokesperson Chad Gilmartin responded to the brief with a statement saying, “A federal grand jury has charged Abrego Garcia with serious federal crimes … underscoring the clear danger this defendant presents to the community. This defendant can plead guilty and accept responsibility or stand trial before a jury. Either way, we will hold Abrego Garcia accountable and protect the American people.”

We’d really rather not go through the whole trial thing, stick him in jail and have to pay for that, and then deport him. Because the end result will always be deportation. I guess he could say “I’m going back to El Salvador, OK?” and go. His wife and kid can go with him. His lawyer is whining about Gangbang Kilmar doesn’t speak the language in Uganda, so, El Salvador, right?

The judge’s order allows the US to do this, as long as they provided notice so the wife-beater’s lawyers can challenge. And, then he goes on trial and put in jail and then deported.

Trump Admin Halts Work On Almost Finished Wind Farm

That’s so mean! The people will be missing out on kilowatts of power when the wind is blowing

Trump administration halts work on an almost-finished wind farm

The Trump administration has ordered companies to stop construction of a wind farm that’s being built off the coast of Rhode Island.

The acting director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Matthew Giacona, wrote in a letter to one of the developers, a Danish firm called Ørsted, that the government was halting work on the almost-finished project in order to “address concerns related to the protection of national security interests of the United States.” The project is also being developed by Global Infrastructure Partners.

We couldn’t find a US company to do this with all that taxpayer money?

The order to stop work on the Revolution Wind project is the latest move by the Trump administration targeting the country’s renewable energy industry. President Trump, a longtime critic of the wind industry, in January issued a moratorium on new development of offshore wind projects. The Internal Revenue Service recently put out new guidance that makes it harder for companies building wind and solar projects to qualify for federal tax incentives. And the Commerce Department is investigating whether imports of wind turbines and their components threaten national security.

Well, that story doesn’t delve to much into that last part

(The Hill) “On August 13, 2025, the Secretary of Commerce initiated an investigation to determine the effects on the national security of imports of wind turbines and their parts and components,” says the notice.

It does not explicitly lay out the reasons for or evidence behind the probe, and the Bureau of Industry and Security did not immediately respond to questions from The Hill.

But the administration requested information from the public on topics including the role of foreign supply chains, the impact of foreign government subsidies and predatory trade practices and whether there’s any ability to weaponize foreign-built wind turbines and their parts.

How many of the parts, including the computers and electronics, are coming from China, with all sorts of bad code?

Anyhow, there were actually lots of protests, and lawsuits, from the local people over this wind project. Not that the powers that be gave a damn about the stupid peasants.

Bummer: Getting A Wuhan Flu Shot This Fall Could Be Complicated

Wait, people are still doing this? They’re still getting the mostly worthless Bat Flu Virus shot? One would think they’d realize it doesn’t help when they got the shot and boosters and then got COVID. Then a few more boosters and got COVID again

Getting a Covid shot this fall could be a lot more complicated

The millions of Americans who are used to getting their Covid-19 vaccines at a local pharmacy may face new hurdles this fall depending on where they live and whether federal health officials have decided they qualify.

Pharmacists’ authority to vaccinate individuals varies across state lines. In some places, it’s dependent upon a federal advisory process that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has upended.

At the same time, the Food and Drug Administration has signaled that it will only approve updated Covid vaccines for individuals 65 and older and for younger people considered to be at high risk for severe disease. People, regardless of where they live, may need to prove that they need the shot.

The agency is expected to sign off on the new vaccine formulas and labels any day now. The action will halt administration of the current vaccines, which are approved for most adults and children, regardless of underlying conditions.

You usually start hearing the radio and TV/streaming commercials about getting your Wuhan Flu vaccine at the same time as your flu shot around October or so: will they run the same ads? Ads that come from pharmacies, the jab makers themselves, and the government (NC govt runs them a lot).

At least 18 states and Washington, D.C., tie their pharmacists’ vaccination authority to the official recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, whose membership Kennedy overhauled in June to include several skeptics. The panel usually votes in June to recommend who should get the updated Covid shot in the fall, but months later there’s still not a firm date for the vote.

Without an official recommendation, pharmacists told POLITICO that residents of those jurisdictions may not be able to get vaccinated at neighborhood pharmacies, which have played the primary role in delivering the shots since early 2021. Nearly 90 percent of Covid vaccine doses during the 2024-2025 season nationally were given at pharmacies, according to CDC data.

How many actually get it these days? I think most rational thinking people realize that the shot, sadly, didn’t really work. They didn’t stop people from getting COVID, and that the whole “well, you might get it but it won’t be bad” talking point is mule fritters. And that there are lots and lots of side effects.

To restore accessibility, pharmacy groups are asking governors in the affected jurisdictions to sign executive orders to ensure pharmacists and pharmacy technicians may administer Covid vaccines, even if the CDC and its advisers haven’t officially recommended them. The states include Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Iowa, Maine, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, among others.

That’s their right. How many want to get it? How many will get it and get COVID again? Do most people really test anymore when they get sick? Have we learned to just live with it, and, if someone gets tested because they have a high fever just take the medicines? I think most have just moved on.

Good Grief: Hotcoldwetdry Causing People To Take “Coolcations”

It’s always something wacky with these people

Your Next Vacation Could Be a ‘Coolcation’

23It was a trip to Ireland in August 2023 that changed things for Susan Taylor. While her hometown of Austin, Texas was baking in heat and humidity, she landed in Belfast to find pleasant and mild temperatures.

“The weather was so cool and lovely,” she says. “I just loved it.”

The trip transformed the way Taylor, who is retired, traveled. Rather than visiting hot locations, she decided to focus her travel to more temperate climates. “You’re spending a lot of money on these vacations,” she says. “Do you really want to be super crowded in 90 degree weather and no air conditioning?”

As much of the world experiences record breaking temperatures due to global warming, many once popular travel destinations are seeing their summers transformed by climate change—especially in Europe, which is currently the fastest warming continent. Facing searing heat waves, many Italian beachfronts saw as much as a 25% drop in visitors in June and July this year. High temperatures have forced Athens, often crowned Europe’s hottest city, to shut down the ??Acropolis during the hottest hours of the day. City planners in Paris are already prepping to respond to 122°F days—which they say are not that far away.

Tourists are taking notice of the extreme heat, and in many cases, changing how they travel. As a result, once overlooked destinations—from the Rocky Mountains to Australia—are seeing a rise in summer visitors.

People have always looked to escape hot places in the summer to travel to cool places, and vice versa in the winter. There’s already a term: snowbirds. Now they’re just link the climate scam into it. Because everything must be linked.

The talking points went out.

Trump Threatens Chicago With Federal Crackdown On Crime

You know, I’d actually just leave Chicago and the other Democrat run cities alone. Let their Dem voting citizens suffer under what they voted for

Trump says Chicago next up for federal crime crackdown

President Donald Trump said Friday that Chicago will be the next city that his administration targets for a federal crackdown on crime and suggested a longer and more intense campaign in the nation’s capital.

“We’ll straighten that one out, probably next, that will be our next one after this,” Trump said from the Oval Office. “I think Chicago will be our next and then we’ll help with New York.”

The president has credited his federal takeover of Washington, DC’s police force and deployment of the National Guard there with driving down crime in the city — touting a weeklong stretch without any murders as a “miracle” despite the fact that such weeks have occurred in DC multiple times so far this year.

He said he could keep National Guard members in the city “as long as I want” by declaring a national emergency, a prospect likely to unnerve city residents. More than 1,900 National Guard troops from multiple states — including DC, West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Ohio, Louisiana and Tennessee guards — have been mobilized in DC as of Thursday, according to Joint Task Force-DC.

Well, I’m not sure Trump would actually have the authority to do this, like he does with D.C. Plus, it would be a nightmare trying to crack down on the crime that the Dems in charge seem to love. It’s one hell of a bigger city than D.C.

Trump dismissed polling that showed most city residents disapprove of the deployment of federal troops, calling it “fake news” and claiming that residents of Chicago and cities are clamoring for a similar law enforcement crackdown where they live.

“They’re wearing red hats, African American ladies, beautiful ladies, are saying, ‘Please, President Trump, come to Chicago,’” Trump said.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said in a statement: “We take President Trump’s statements seriously, but to be clear the City has not received any formal communication from the Trump administration regarding additional federal law enforcement or military deployments to Chicago.” He said homicides, robberies and shootings have dropped significantly in the past year.

Is this just Trump being Trump? Should Chicago take this seriously? As far as shootings, well, all you have to do is look at the Chicago news. Dude was shot during an argument in a deli. Just like in D.C. you hear about roaming bands of youts committing lots of crime that doesn’t really get reported by the city.

Anyhow, it’s fun watching Trump drive the Democrats batguano insane.

Crazy Judge To Release MS-13 Illegal Alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia Till Trial

Think he might disappear back to El Salvador?

Kilmar Abrego Garcia released from criminal custody in Tennessee

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was wrongly deported in March before being brought back to the U.S., has been released from criminal custody in Tennessee and is on his way to Maryland, an attorney for Abrego Garcia told ABC News.

The Salvadoran native has been in criminal custody since the federal government brought him back to the U.S. in June to face human smuggling charges.

Once he is is released, immigration authorities will not be allowed to detain Abrego Garcia due to a ruling from a federal judge who last month ordered the government to return him to Maryland and blocked the administration from deporting him upon his release in Tennessee. (snip)

He was brought back to the U.S. last month to face charges in Tennessee of allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the U.S. while he was living in Maryland. He has pleaded not guilty.

Well, ABC News, like so many, minimizes the human trafficking charges against him, and generally fail to mention he’s an accused MS-13 member/associate and wife beater. Oh, and that he is illegally present in the United States. Seriously, this is the guy who Democrats are defending. But, hey, now he gets to go to trial, and, if found guilty, will be sentenced to federal jail and won’t get to see his wife and child except once in a blue moon. He could have simply gone back to El Salvador and been free instead. Enjoy jail, scumbag.

Good Grief: Wacko Federal Judge Orders Alligator Alcatraz Closed Over No Environmental Review

Is the judge saying that illegal aliens are bad for the environment?

Judge Orders That ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Detention Center Be Shut Down for Now

A federal judge on Thursday ordered that no more immigrant detainees be sent to a center in the Florida Everglades, and that much of the facility be dismantled. The ruling rebuked the state and federal governments for failing to consider potential environmental harms before building the facility, known as Alligator Alcatraz.

The judge gave both branches of the government 60 days to move out existing detainees and begin to remove fencing, lighting, power generators and other materials. The order also prohibits any new construction at the site.

Judge Kathleen M. Williams of the Federal District Court in Miami found that the state and federal governments had violated a federal law that requires an environmental review before any major federal construction project. Judge Williams partly granted a preliminary injunction sought by environmentalists and the Miccosukee Tribe, whose members live in the area. The detention center is surrounded by protected lands that form part of the sensitive Everglades ecological system.

The detention center presents risks to wetlands and to communities that depend on the Everglades for their water supply, including the Miccosukee, Judge Williams found.

“The project creates irreparable harm in the form of habitat loss and increased mortality to endangered species in the area,” she wrote.

They’re really just making stuff up at this point…well, the wacko leftist judges have been making it up since Trump took office (and when they lawfared Trump and his folks).

Her ruling is preliminary, as the case will continue to be litigated. The state is expected to ask that the ruling be stayed, or kept from taking effect, as it pursues its appeal.

Even before Judge Williams ruled, Mr. DeSantis had said he expected the ruling to go against his administration.

“It’s pretty clear we’re in front of a judge who is not going to give us a fair shake on this,” he said on Tuesday.

Liberals are celebrating this, but, you know the ruling will, yet again, be overturned on appeal. But, hey, perhaps DeSantis could build a new holding facility near where the judge lives.

Speaking of lawfare and rulings thrown out

Trump’s massive $500M civil fraud fine in AG Tish James’ case thrown out by NY appeals court

President Trump won a huge, symbolic victory Thursday when a New York appeals court threw out the more than $500 million fine he owed in Attorney General Letitia James’ business fraud case.

The Appellate Division, First Department, overturned the whopping $464 million judgment against Trump, 79, but upheld a finding that the real estate tycoon-turned-president engaged in fraud by exaggerating his net worth for decades.

“I had a victory today. You know, they stole $550 million from me with a fake case, and it was overturned,” Trump told dozens of law enforcement officers later Thursday during a visit related to his crime crackdown in Washington, DC.

But the case, stemming from a civil suit brought by James’ office, still remains in place and will now go to New York’s highest court as the legal battle between the state’s top lawyer and the commander in chief continues.

And you know the whole thing will be overturned.

Your Fault: Nights Are Warmer

I told you to buy an EV and move into a tiny home, but, no, you want doom

No evening cooldown: Climate change is making even nights hotter in summer

Are you tossing and turning more at night? Does it feel like your air conditioner is straining harder and doing less to cool down your bedroom? Well, get ready for more muggy summer nights, not just this week, but for the rest of the century, experts say. That’s largely due to climate change.

Extreme heat was expected to blanket much of Southern California, Arizona and Nevada starting Wednesday through Friday night. That includes stifling nights with “lows” in the upper 80s to low 90s late Thursday and Friday in the Coachella and Imperial valleys and the San Gorgonio Pass, which will offer little relief from daytime highs of up to 115 degrees those days, per National Weather Service extreme heat warnings and alerts. (snip)

In the 1980s, Palm Springs had zero to two abnormally warm summer nights, but due to climate change, that has gradually gone up since then to 32 nights a year on average, according to calculations by Climate Central, a nonprofit that analyzes decades of federal weather data and models future trends. Some of that increase is also likely caused by area development that has added asphalt, concrete and other manmade surfaces that warm more than natural soils, also known as the “urban heat island” effect.

Most of that increase is, in fact, UHI and natural warming, as expected during a Holocene warm period, along with a tiny bit of anthropogenic non-UHI/land use effects. Where the people are feeling it the most is in cities. Go out in the desert and it will get cool. You also have the smog effect, whereby warmth is held at the lower level. Fortunately, we are still a 1st World and can do things with air conditioning.

And, really, it’s summer. You will have heat waves, which will make UHI feel worse.
