Trump Says Won’t Sign Any Legislation Till SAVE Act Passed

Trump says he won’t sign any bills into law until SAVE America Act passes

President Trump on Sunday threatened to not sign any bills into law until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act is approved by the Senate, doubling down on his push to change voting requirements ahead of the midterm elections.

“I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY,” the president wrote in his Sunday morning Truth Social post.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment on whether the president will sign a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security amid the partial government shutdown.

The leader has pressed Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to use a talking filibuster to pass the bill, which was approved by the House in February.

The filibuster would force Democrats to speak continuously on the Senate floor to delay a vote on the bill. But, if they cede the floor, Republicans could circumvent the need for a 60-vote majority and pass the measure with just 51 votes.

I mean, that’s what used to be required for a filibuster. Talking. Remember, almost every Democrat in the House, 213 of them, voted against the SAVE Act, an issue that most Americans want. Heck, even this

Two-Thirds Back ‘SAVE Act’ To Require Voter ID — And Support Is Bipartisan: I&I/TIPP Poll

The bitter debate between Democrats and Republicans over the SAVE Act — which would require voters to provide a valid ID to cast a ballot — has roiled political waters as both major parties gird themselves for the 2026 midterms. But do voters care? They sure do, and it’s not good news for the Democrats, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll results indicate.

The online poll, taken from Feb. 24 to Feb. 27 by 1,456 adults nationwide, asked voters: “The SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) is a proposed federal law that would require individuals to present identification and prove U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. What comes closer to your view?”

The results weren’t really close. A hefty 64% agreed with the statement that “It is a good idea and would help ensure that only eligible citizens are able to vote.”

Meanwhile, just 24% agreed with “It is a bad idea and could prevent some eligible voters from casting a ballot.” The remaining 12% were “not sure.”

Even among Dems, 47% say it’s “good idea,” versus 42% who say it’s a “bad idea,” a 5-point edge. But the idea is by far strongest among Republicans (85% “good,” 9% “bad”), followed by independents and third-party voters (59% “good,” 26% “bad”).

And, really, this is one of the lower polls I’ve seen. Many call it an 80/20 issue, with 80% wanting, yet, Democrats take the side of the 20%. If the US Congress cannot pass a law that the majority of Americans want then maybe it is time to dissolve the Congress and start over.

Oh Noes: Trump Forcing Canada To Make ‘Climate Change’ Research Budget Cuts

By William Teach March 9, 2026 – 3:42 pm

Adding Trump’s name in somewhere is the way it’s supposed to be done, right?

Budget cuts at Environment and Climate Change Canada threaten Arctic science

The Arctic has been in the news a lot lately. Between the increased geopolitical interest in Greenland, claims over sovereignty, resource exploitation and the devastating impacts of climate change, the region has become a sentinel for global change.

But away from these headlines, a quieter crisis is unfolding that threatens Canada’s role in global environmental science, law and policy: the dismantling of research teams at the department responsible for Canada’s environmental policies and programs. The federal government’s plan to reduce the public service by 15 per cent over three years means that more than 800 positions at Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) will be cut.

As an environmental scientist who has been involved in the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP) since 2016 and an interdisciplinary legal scholar focused on water governance in Canada, we have seen how science can shape policy. For decades, ECCC research scientists have been integral to the work of AMAP, a working group that provides advice and assessments to the Arctic Council.

This intergovernmental group comprised of Indigenous Peoples, Arctic states and non-Arctic states with observer status is the major platform for protecting the environment and co-ordinating sustainable development initiatives in the Arctic.

Sounds like a lot of cult BS trying to force everyone to be a part of the cult

Across Canada, the cuts undermine effective chemical management. Canada’s chemical management plan depends heavily on the expert assessment of government scientists. This expert-based risk assessment has enabled the discovery and monitoring of new chemical risks with comparatively few bureaucratic hurdles. However, it also means that the proposed cuts are particularly devastating to this program.

If we remove the scientists the regulatory system depends on, the system breaks. This means that these proposed cuts could not only cost jobs and reduce scientific excellence in Canada, but also leave the health of Canadians and our environment less protected.

Can they not hire people in the private sector to do the job, rather than government employees looking for a bigger budget?

Washington Post Upset Trump Admin Hiring New People For Federal Positions

By William Teach March 9, 2026 – 10:30 am

Why? Because those being hired are not left wing loons and partisan activists for the Democrat party

After slashing federal jobs, Trump administration ramps up hiring

A year after Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency allies purged hundreds of thousands of federal employees, the Trump administration is ramping up hiring — a reversal that reflects a quiet retreat from one of the president’s defining early priorities and marks a new phase in efforts to reshape the bureaucracy in his image.

“We probably have some skills that we now need to hire back, quite frankly,” Scott Kupor, the head of the Office of Personnel Management, said in an interview with The Washington Post. “There’s no question anytime you do restructurings … sometimes you over-restructure, sometimes you under-restructure.”

The hiring push is unfolding under new rules designed to give the White House greater influence over the government’s 2-million person civilian workforce. The administration has lifted restrictions imposed during last year’s reductions and created job classifications that make it easier to hire — and fire — employees aligned with the president’s priorities. Kupor, who was sworn in last July, said the administration hopes to rebuild in part by rebranding the government as a launchpad for college graduates and early-career professionals and by focusing on recruitment for health care, program management and technology roles.

In recent months, the administration has moved to centralize hiring decisions, expand the role of political appointees in recruitment and roll back diversity initiatives adopted under previous administrations. Together, the shifts amount to changes supporters say will make government more responsive to elected leadership. But critics warn they could erode long-standing protections meant to keep the civil service nonpartisan.

Oh, please. We already saw a massive amount of partisanship in support of the Democratic Party, which hasn’t ended, just been seriously tamped down. Said partisanship, activism, has been going on for well over half a century. The federal bureaucracy was stocked with Dem loons. They even started replacing those who leaned Republican in certain agencies, like the FBI. Post Vietnam the Progressives wanted to capture those agencies, just like the other ones, and Republicans started to realize they wanted nothing to do with working in hives of moonbattery.

“The president has certain priorities in the administration, and when we decide to actually exercise and do those priorities, people may call that political,” Kupor said. “But to me, that’s the way the process was designed.”

In Liberal World it was fine to hire the left wing wackos and call it “non-partisan”, people who spent their time do those hard-left things rather than their jobs.

Some agency heads have said they can manage with a leaner staff. Internal Revenue Service CEO Frank Bisignano told the House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday that he believes the agency is sufficiently staffed. “I feel good about the number of employees I have right now,” he said.

But the agency’s inspector general reported that the IRS had onboarded only 50 of the roughly 2,200 employees it expected to hire to help process tax returns for the 2026 filing season — about 2 percent of its target as of the end of last year.

Get rid of the crazies and worthless employees, get rid of the redundant, hire those who want to work, who want to provide service, those who aren’t activists and do not want to use the position to force their opinions on US citizens. And do not have a bloated federal bureaucracy.

Michael Duffin, a former State Department official running for Congress in Virginia, said Democrats should be loud about the consequences of losing expertise in government. He has called to reinstate federal workers, warning that without subject-matter experts and adequate staff, the government cannot deliver on its core responsibilities.

“It’s about services,” Duffin said. “It’s about this war with Iran, with the lack of diplomacy, with the lack of expertise, it could spiral out and then all of a sudden gas at the pump doubles. I think it’s about the bottom line. How does it impact their lives?”

These people are loons.

Doom Today: The Earth Is Totally Heating Up Twice As Fast Or Something

By William Teach March 9, 2026 – 7:00 am

Well, of course it is, and they trot this out right as winter is ending

Earth is warming faster than previously estimated, new study shows

Planetary warming has significantly accelerated over the past 10 years, with temperatures rising at a higher rate since 2015 than in any previous decade on record, a new study showed.

The Earth warmed around 0.35 degrees Celsius in the decade to 2025, compared to just under 0.2C per decade on average between 1970 and 2015, according to a paper published on Friday in the scientific journal Geophysical Research Letters. This is the first statistically significant evidence of an acceleration of global warming, the authors said.

The findings shed light on an ongoing debate among researchers. While there is consensus that greenhouse gas emissions have caused the planet to heat up since pre-industrial times, that warming had been steady for decades. But record-breaking temperatures in recent years have led scientists to question whether the pace of temperature gains is accelerating.

Demonstrating that was difficult due to natural fluctuations in temperatures. The researchers filtered out the “noise” to make the “underlying long-term warming signal” more clearly visible, said Grant Foster, a co-author of the study and a U.S.-based statistics expert.

So, they used their supercomputer models to erase natural influences and, surprise, blame you and find that doom is coming. They are making a new estimate, just like that sea rise bullshit from last week

The new report adds to a growing body of work that indicates climate change is having a quicker and larger impact on the planet than scientists have understood. A separate paper published this week found that many studies on sea-level increases underestimate how much water along the coast has already risen

Right, right, because the people who live at the coast for decades are ignoring that their beach is gone.

“If the warming rate of the past 10 years continues, it would lead to a long-term exceedance of the 1.5C limit of the Paris Agreement before 2030,” said Stefan Rahmstorf, the lead author of the warming study and a researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. “How quickly the Earth continues to warm ultimately depends on how rapidly we reduce global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels to zero.”

And there we go: it’s an cult activist paper, not science. Oh, and

PBS Obviously Makes The Iran War All About “Islamophobia” Here In The US

By William Teach March 9, 2026 – 6:45 am

How many times have we seen this? Within days of 9/11 the Credentialed Media was yammering about Islamophobia with the help of CAIR and other Islamist groups. Same thing after the 7/7 bombings in England. After the Pulse nightclub shooting. After the 10/7 attack in Israel. And so many other times. So, this really isn’t surprising

For U.S. Muslims, immigration crackdowns, new war and anti-Muslim rhetoric cloud Ramadan

Midway through Ramadan, Muslims across the United States are striving to maintain the holy month’s traditional mix of prayers and festive spirit under a cloud of worrisome events.

The federal government’s immigration crackdown has affected many of their communities. Virulent anti-Muslim rhetoric is surging. And now the Middle East — where many have loved ones — is buffeted by the Iran war.

Most Iranians are celebrating the war, wanting the Iranian regime to be eliminated. Especially the women.

In Paterson, New Jersey — home to one of the country’s highest per capita Muslim populations — 18-year-old Haneen Alatiyat regrets that fear and uncertainty are keeping many community members from gathering to embrace Ramadan’s communal traditions.

“The meaning of the holiday is to be together with the people you love,” said Alatiyat, who is half Palestinian, half Jordanian.

“Unfortunately, because of the ICE raids that are happening, people don’t want to do that,” she added, speaking outside the Islamic Center of Passaic County in Paterson about Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions happening under President Donald Trump. It’s the mosque where she worships every year with family during Ramadan.

If you’re here illegally, well, yeah, you should be scared. If you’re here on any other legal provision other than being a citizens you should be concerned, because you can be ordered out. And, yeah, so many Palestinians are rooting for the Iranian regime.

Paterson’s Palestinian community — one of the largest outside the Middle East — had been grieving loved ones and trying to help the survivors of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza even before the latest anxiety-fueling developments.

Yeah, well, maybe they shouldn’t have been supporting Hamas, which was backed by Iran? But, then, Palestinians hate Israel and Jews.

“This Ramadan has already been heavy for many families in our community with the immigration crackdowns,” said Rania Mustafa, executive director of the Palestinian American Community Center in Clifton, New Jersey.

These same people will demand that Christmas and other holidays not be celebrated in public. They will complain to companies to cancel Christmas parties. They will whine when people eat in public during Ramadan. They will complain that people eat pork.

Coinciding with Ramadan, some Muslim groups have issued know-your-rights guidance for navigating immigration enforcement interactions, including for mosques. The Muslim Public Affairs Council, for example, created a safety guide.

Unshockingly, PBS cites a group, the MPAC, which is an Islamic supremacist group that loathes Israel and Jews, which took the side of Islamic terrorist groups, who didn’t want the US to respond after 9/11, and so much more, including ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic terrorists.

BTW, for Iranian people in Iran and around the world they aren’t that religious, with under 40% identifying as Muslim, and 60% do not pray.

Trump To Starmer: “We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!”

By William Teach March 8, 2026 – 7:00 am

I mean, do we really need the Islamic Republik Of Britannia joining in now?

Trump Blasts ‘Once Great Ally’ Britain for Late Response to Iran Conflict, Says U.S. Doesn’t Need UK Aircraft Carriers

President Donald Trump roasted Britain as a “once great ally” on Saturday as he continued to express displeasure with the left-wing Labour government in London over its initial refusal to grant the U.S. use of its bases for the conflict in Iran.

After severely damaging the so-called “special relationship” between the United Kingdom and the United States — while being shown up by France in terms of swift military deployments — Prime Minister Starmer’s government is said to be preparing to demonstrate a show of force, with reports on Saturday indicating that it is preparing to send aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales for possible deployment to the Middle East.

However, this has apparently failed to impress President Donald Trump, who openly mocked Starmer for his Johnny-come-lately stance to the conflict after having initially refused to allow the United States to use UK bases for operations in Iran.

“The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!” he added.

If Trump has any sort of foreign policy doctrine, it’s FAFO. This can go anywhere from FriendlyAFO to FoolAFO to FuckAFO. It’s up to them to see which Trump they’ll receive. Trump keeps them guessing. Now Starmer will either have to dig in or kiss Trump’s ass.

5 days, huh? I mean, really, the US and Israel haven’t truly won yet, but, it’s just a matter of time, and is the UK really necessary?

Climate Cult Has A Special Class For Special People

By William Teach March 7, 2026 – 3:03 pm

I’m not sure why I am surprised by this: the cult has no problem taking advantage of young children, so, why not those with learning disabilities?

The climate change course for people with learning disabilities

Bingo may not be the first thing you think of when you think of climate change.

But when you play with pictures of ideas for tackling the issue instead of numbers, it can help people like Patrick and Michael McKinney understand how they can make a difference.

The brothers both have special needs and live in supported accommodation.

They have completed a climate change training course for people with learning disabilities – thought to be the first of its kind in the UK.

It’s utterly despicable that the cult would do this, but, it is a cult, and they want every to participate. By subterfuge if possible, by government force if not

Hanna Coney works with the brothers in their Sperrins Supported Living Services.

She became a mother last year and found herself thinking more about the world her child would grow up in.

She thought the training would help build the brothers’ confidence and independence, but was surprised by just how much they got involved.

“The conversation of climate change can be quite a frightening topic, but I suppose for us as support workers, it’s to make sure that we’re not fear mongering the people we support.

So, as a mum she decided to ruin everyone else’s lives with her cult bullshit? Maybe Brits should be more concerned with being conquered
