Good News: Deportations And Arrests Hit Record Numbers

By William Teach November 12, 2026 – 10:30 am

There are varying accounts of how much all those big operations had in the mid-terms, some saying it made a difference and others saying it was low hanging fruit, that it was primarily about the economy

ICE deportations and arrests hit record high as Trump faces reckoning over immigration crackdown

Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported a record 483,200 people in fiscal year 2026, according to new Department of Homeland Security figures obtained by CBS News, marking a historic escalation in President Trump’s signature immigration crackdown, even as voters grapple with the increase in interior enforcement.

The total number of individuals deported represents the highest annual figure in ICE’s reported history, surpassing the law enforcement agency’s previous record of 442,640 in fiscal year 2025. ICE also reported more than 491,000 immigration arrests during the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, including nearly 475,000 administrative arrests — another record, according to DHS. Administrative arrests are those in which alleged undocumented immigrants are arrested for civil violations rather than criminal charges.

The records underscore a defining feature of Mr. Trump’s second presidency — a sweeping enforcement campaign reshaped by dramatic immigration policy and the operational expansion of the federal law enforcement footprint in communities far from the border. But they also arrive at a politically complicated moment for Mr. Trump.

According to DHS, the new deportation total is approximately 18% higher than the 409,849 removals ICE recorded in fiscal year 2012, during the Obama administration, a longstanding agency benchmark. The new record is also nearly 78% higher than the 271,484 deportations recorded in fiscal year 2024, the last full fiscal year under President Biden.

Keep on keeping on. Get them out of here. Make sure they aren’t bothering to show up at the border. It is the law, after all. Something Democrats hate. If Trump and his folks were smart they’d look towards increasing visas for work related opportunities like agriculture and home construction, with mandatory end dates, where they have to go home. We used to have this, where tons of folks, especially Mexicans, would come to the US, work farm season, spend the nice months building homes, then go back, and do the same the next year.

Meanwhile, social media people still suck

When Immigration Fear Becomes a TikTok Influencer’s Alleged Business Model

Fear has become a currency in America’s immigration system, and two federal lawsuits raise the disturbing question of whether it is being monetized.

Camila Overmyer, an Indiana-based beauty influencer turned immigration commentator, is accused of using Spanish-language TikTok livestreams to convince frightened immigrants seeking humanitarian relief that their lawyers may have implicated them in fraud. The complaints allege that she solicited contracts, immigration records, and sworn statements while directing viewers toward competing attorneys. One lawsuit further alleges that Overmyer acknowledged receiving commissions when referrals became paying clients.

The allegations remain contested, but they expose a danger larger than any dispute among law firms: What happens when someone without identified legal training gains immigrants’ trust, undermines their existing counsel, and may profit from directing them elsewhere?

If you listen to a rando on Tiktok, well, you’re an idiot

Houston-based Meneses Law alleges in its federal complaint that at least ten clients terminated or began canceling their agreements because of Overmyer’s social media activity. In a separate federal case, the Dublin, Ohio–based Lisinski Law Firm alleges that Overmyer and several attorneys coordinated broadcasts accusing it of fraud while encouraging clients to seek representation elsewhere. Lisinski says it received more than 475 calls from concerned clients. (snip)

Overmyer is not the only one accused of this behavior. Regulators in California and Texas have acted against nonlawyers accused of using Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube to market paid legal guidance, underscoring broader concerns about online personalities converting perceived authority into legal business.

Social media has broken a lot of people.

COP31 Warmists Say Nothing Must Distract From Doing Something On Climate (scam)

By William Teach November 12, 2026 – 7:15 am

No, no, definitely not a cult

Conflict must not distract from climate action, leaders warn COP31

Wars and trade disputes should not be allowed to distract the world from its struggle to combat global ?warming, leaders told the COP31 climate conference on Wednesday, as negotiators prepared to hash out a new deal to try to limit climate change.

COP31 host Turkey has been pushing countries to put a goal to expand electrification at the centre of a final deal, even as critics say it may do little to curb warming without a clearer plan to reduce the use of fossil fuels.

Heads of state gave back-to-back speeches ?on Wednesday to lay out their positions.

Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, whose country hosted last year’s conference, told the summit that climate change had since ?slipped down the global agenda.

“We started talking more about weapons and tariffs than the survival of future generations,” he said. “The planet cannot ?be at the mercy of hegemonic struggles.”

Turkey’s President Tayyip Erdogan echoed the comment.

“Wars, crises, migration, famine and poverty increase the need for international solidarity each day,” he said.

OK, cool, so, we’re supposed to now ignore Ukraine and the Palestinians? Should we let this distract us?

It’s OK, because the jets were going there anyway!

“No Kings” Dems Want To Kill Referendums They Lost

By William Teach November 12, 2026 – 7:00 am

If we jump into Political Theory 101, the Socialism part of the Democracy Model discusses them wanting tons of open voting, with few restrictions on who can vote, and lots of citizens directly voting on measures. You may have heard the term “direct democracy”, which they throw around a lot. But, what happens when they lose those ballot measures?

Democrats accused of ‘No Kings’ hypocrisy over push to change voter-approved trans sports measures

Voters in two Democratic strongholds approved restrictions on transgender participation in girls’ sports last week, delivering rare Republican victories amid a blue wave. But Democratic officials are already discussing ways to change the measures, drawing accusations of hypocrisy from Republicans who point to their support for the “No Kings” movement.

Colorado Gov.-elect Philip Weiser, who also criticized a separate ballot measure restricting gender-related surgeries for minors, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal , D-Wash., both raised objections to the measures approved in their respective states.

At his first post-election news conference, he suggested Colorado’s Democratic-controlled legislature could revisit the voter-approved measures, saying that it is “statutory … and a natural and I believe appropriate role for the legislature to say ‘what are the adjustments that need to be added.”

Colorado voters approved ballot measures increasing penalties for fentanyl-related offenses, restricting transgender athletes from competing in sports designated for the opposite biological sex and prohibiting gender-related surgeries for minors. The measures passed even as Democrats swept into power across the state.

“I don’t believe it would be acceptable to Colorado to have every student athlete to have to go through full-body examinations or other invasions of privacy,” Weiser added of the sports-related referendum, according to the Denver Post.

The measure is rather verbose, but, still specific: no males playing on women’s teams (it does allow women to play on men’s teams if there are no women’s teams available, but, that doesn’t happen often, it’s usually gender confused men). There is no latitude for the legislature. It’s only if the Democrats can get the courts to kill. And it passed 52.19 to 47.81. In Colorado. Democrat big wigs cannot allow the peasants to have their say, though.

Republicans in suburban Denver criticized the governor-elect, dubbing him “King Phil I” and characterizing his response as “know[ing] better than Colorado voters in a healthy democracy.”

“But before the ink on the ballots is even dry, Governor-elect Phil Weiser is already signaling that the vote of the people is merely a ‘suggestion’. With Coloradans approving ballot measures to crack down on fentanyl and protect youth sports and children, Weiser walked up to the podium on Wednesday and essentially declared that the will of the majority needs to pass his personal vibe check first,” the Adams County Republican Party said in a statement.

I bet he’d have a hissy fit if they held a No Kings protest against him. Phil won with 61% of the vote, yet, there were enough Democrats to put the no-transgenders in women’s sports measure over the top.

Meanwhile, in Washington State, Jayapal condemned a similar measure approved by voters.

Initiative 638 prohibits students defined as “biologically male” from competing in girls’ K-12 school sports and requires students seeking to participate on girls’ teams to provide verification of their biological sex from a health care provider. The measure passed with approximately 56% support in the reliably Democratic state.

Following the election results, multiple local news outlets reported that Jayapal pledged to “take our state back” after voters approved the initiative.

It’s cute her support and all, but, none are allowed to be transgender in Islam, and they’d be killed in the Muslim areas she likes to visit with her Squad pals.

Washington Democratic Party Chair Shasti Conrad signaled support for a legal challenge, calling the ballot measure “unconstitutional on its face” and indicating the party would “support [for] organizations planning to challenge it in court.”

How dare those peasants have their say!

Hooray! Democrats Take Long Fossil Fueled Flights To Turkey For Climate (scam) Conference

By William Teach November 11, 2026 – 2:50 pm

We’re saved! I wonder who’s paying for this? You know Marco Rubio won’t authorize payment. You also know that Democrat will find a way to get the taxpayers to cover all the expenses of the flights and staying at 5 star hotels

Democrats are at Cop31 to show that the US has not abandoned the fight against climate change

The results of the US midterms on November 3 delivered a resounding victory for the Democrats, and a major loss for US president Donald Trump and the Republican party.

Gaining control of the Senate and the House of Representatives has emboldened the Democrats, giving them a renewed sense of political legitimacy and a mandate to pursue their agenda. But will this shift translate into meaningful changes in US climate change policy?

No. Nothing they pass will survive Trump’s veto pen. Anyhow, the article continues with Trump, Trump, Trump, Democrats at last year’s scam conference in Brazil, Trump, Trump…oh, look, they mention Democrats winning again, a video of world leaders in Turkey (having taken fossil fueled flights), Trump, Trump, data centers evil

After the midterms, Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat, is likely to become the chair of the House of Representatives’ committee on science, space and technology once the new session starts in January. She wants to tackle the administration’s “climate denialism”.

If only any elected Republican had the cajones to say “How many fossil fueled flights have you and your Comrade taken this year, Zoe? Oh, and look, here’s a photo of your fossil fueled vehicle.”

However, the Democrat midterm wins will not mean that the US is automatically back at the negotiating table at Cop nor that the US will be able to rejoin the Paris Accords while Trump is president. Trump still has the power to make these decisions and can continue to keep the US out of international climate initiatives, regardless of who controls Congress. The US Constitution says nothing about withdrawing from treaties, which creates uncertainty for what the Senate’s role might be.

The 2015 Paris Climate Accord was not a treaty. It was specifically designed to do an end-run around the US Senate. Anyhow, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump….not one mention of any Democrats actually at the Turkey scam conference. I guess through all the Trump Derangement Syndrome they forgot about which Democrats attended

Oh, wait, lots of TDS there, too. The only Dem mentioned is Sean Casten, for which most are saying “Who?” The TDS infused just can’t help themselves.

Twice Deported, Three Times Caught Illegal Arrested After Threatening To Blow Up Plane

By William Teach November 11, 2026 – 10:30 am

Will Democrats also fight for this illegal?

Twice-deported illegal immigrant accused of trying to storm United cockpit, threatening bomb: DHS

A Honduran illegal alien accused of attempting to enter the cockpit of a United Airlines flight after allegedly claiming to have a bomb had previously been deported from the United States twice, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to Fox News.

Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto was arrested by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office after United Airlines Flight 2174 landed at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport after a frightening midair disturbance Monday night.

The suspect allegedly claimed to have a bomb during the flight, prompting the pilots to issue a reported hijacking alert, according to the Daily Mail. DHS separately confirmed that Gomez-Alberto was accused of attempting to enter the cockpit. (snip)

According to DHS, Gomez-Alberto was apprehended by Border Patrol after illegally entering the United States near El Indio, Texas, in September 2011 and again near Columbus, New Mexico, in October 2014. He was removed from the country following both encounters.

In 2019, Border Patrol arrested him again after an attempted illegal entry near San Ysidro, California.

ICE released Gomez-Alberto from custody in January 2020 after an immigration judge ordered his release pending removal proceedings, according to DHS.

Federal law makes re-entry after deportation a felony offense (1912. 8 U.S.C. 1326 — Reentry After Deportation (Removal)) which can get them a large fine and/or up to two years in jail, followed by deportation. So, the left wing judge let him go and he disappeared, because who would have thought Gomez-Alberto would be a flight risk? Another statute could now get him up to 10 years in jail, along with the whole attempting to storm a plane cockpit and threatening to blow up a plane.

How about we just drop him off in Africa or Southeast Asia with a hearty handshake and a “fair thee well!”, wipe our hands of him, rather than having to pay to keep him in jail?

More: I have to add this after running across it

“Bronx man”. So that’s where the illegal bolted to after being released in California

St. Greta Appears At UN Climate Conference, Talks Doom

By William Teach November 11, 2026 – 7:15 am

I guess she’s giving up her Israel and Jew hatred for a brief time. I wonder if she took a fossil fueled trip to Turkey?

Greta Thunberg warns ‘everything we love is at stake’ as she arrives at UN climate talks

st greta carClimate activist Greta Thunberg arrived at U.N. climate talks on Tuesday, condemning the annual proceedings as hypocritical and urging leaders to put people and the planet ahead of profits and power.

The COP31 conference is being held in the Turkish resort city of Antalya following a year of deadly climate-related disasters, including heat waves and floods, and another energy shock caused by the Iran war.

Resort, eh?

“It’s a hypocrisy every year that the host countries are given an opportunity to whitewash themselves and we know that these negotiations are filled with lobbyists, paid by the very destructive industries which are benefiting from our extremely violent status quo,” Thunberg said as she arrived. “Our political and economic systems that have become incompatible with human nature.”

Climate change is “threatening everything,” Thunberg said, warning that “everything and everyone we love is at stake.”

“We should act to protect and benefit people rather than constantly sacrificing the global majority and the very planet we are all living on, for a fortunate few to keep making unimaginable profits and maintaining geopolitical power,” she said.

Too bad there are no real reporters who could follow her to see if she’s traveling in fossil fueled vehicles, and to note if she came and leaves on an airplane or a train.

Thunberg’s arrival at the conference created excitement among many youth climate activists.

“In this time of heightened geopolitical tensions, I hope that Greta’s presence here reminds us of why we started this work in the first place: to push for meaningful change, hold decision-makers accountable, and work towards a better future for all of humanity,” said Amber Turner, a 26-year-old fellow with the Alliance of Small Island States.

She took a long fossil fueled flight, as well.

Another climahypocrite. Will we have an Al Gore sighting?

SCOTUS Rules Trump Can Continue Building Big Beautiful Wall

By William Teach November 11, 2026 – 7:00 am

It’s always a struggle with the pro-illegals crowd, constantly suing over things that are in law

Supreme Court Lifts Order Blocking Trump’s Big Bend Border Wall

The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration can resume building a border wall through the Big Bend region of West Texas.

The justices voted 8-1 on Monday to lift a federal judge’s order that had stopped construction across the sector for more than a month. The unsigned five-page decision said a 1996 immigration law gives the Homeland Security secretary wide room to waive environmental rules and that Congress wrote it to favor fast construction over the harm the challengers described.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the only one who said she would have turned the administration down. She did not explain why.

Crews can now return to work across the roughly 500-mile project area, where the government has planned more than 300 miles of barriers, patrol roads, and surveillance equipment, including inside Big Bend National Park. The administration has said it will not build a large wall within the park itself.

It’s pretty concrete when even 2 of the liberal Justices vote in favor of building the wall. It’s unsurprising that Brown Jackson voted against. She actually didn’t have a lot of dumb things to say, not even discussing her opposition

Opposition grew in August after bulldozers were spotted clearing desert inside the national park, and U.S. District Judge Kathleen Cardone shut everything down on October 2.

The administration went to the Supreme Court last month and said Cardone had no authority to second-guess the waivers. Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote that an unwalled gap in the Big Bend would pull cartels and other bad actors into the opening once barriers went up everywhere else. Mullin had designated the sector an area of high illegal entry, pointing to roughly 89,000 apprehensions and large drug seizures there across fiscal years 2021 through 2025.

Cardone found that Congress likely never authorized waivers that sweeping in the sector that records the fewest crossings anywhere on the southern border.

8-1 said she is full of mule fritters.

(Texas Tribune) “The Government’s interest therefore outweighs any aesthetic, recreational, and environmental harm alleged by respondents,” the ruling says.

Bam.

“This horrific decision clears the way for contractors to bulldoze pristine desert and dynamite canyon walls before the courts have even decided whether this destruction is legal,” said Laiken Jordahl, national public lands advocate at the Center for Biological Diversity. “They’re signing off on the permanent destruction of the wildest place in Texas, and the theft of a great American river from all of us.”

Here’s an idea: Democrats need to stop advocating for illegals. Let them be deported quickly and you’ll cut the numbers down drastically. Stop giving them all those benefits, work permits, etc, and they will leave, and most will not come. Authorize huge numbers of people and electronic monitoring and more on the border to stop the crossers and the cartels and such and won’t need the wall in most spots.

And, to be clear, Big Bend National Park is in the freaking middle of nowhere. Most of these “advocates” do not go there.

UK Planning For A “Black Sky” Event

By William Teach November 10, 2026 – 4:28 pm

Is this what all that yammering was about having a few days of food and water the other week?

What happens if all the lights go out? This is the plan for a ‘Black Sky’ event

It was a Saturday night in early December when Roger Kemp realised something was very wrong.

“I was halfway through a Scandi crime drama when everything went off,” the professor at Lancaster University told the BBC. “Streetlights were off. The sodium glow that we can see over the horizon from Morecambe was off.”

The next day he went for a walk.

“[It was] almost like a zombie movie,” he said. “People trying to find phone reception, wondering where things were, and there was a huge queue at the one working telephone box.”

At 22:45 on 5 December 2015, the River Lune – which flows directly through Lancaster – had flooded, and the electricity supply to 61,500 people in the city went.

So, obviously this is Your Fault for driving a fossil fueled vehicle

For Kemp and others in the field of civil contingency, Lancaster was a warning. When a town loses power for several days, our connected world falls apart. This kind of disruption has been given a name: a Black Sky event.

At a recent summit on UK resilience, the conversation focused on the need for the UK to be able to withstand a Black Sky event for a minimum of 72 hours.

Bruh, we deal with this all the time in the US. Hurricanes and ice storms here in the US. I’ve been through this many a time. Sometimes those last longer.

In a major emergency, we are being told to hunker down and turn on an FM radio, as thousands did in Lancaster. This is why the BBC has its own Black Sky plan.

Only a small number of staff know the full details, but from what I have gleaned, about 100 people in the BBC will run a special emergency radio studio.

Why so secretive?

This emergency service will broadcast pre-arranged government messaging. The scripts have already been published online.

They include instructions on how much people should be drinking each day and how to dispose of toilet waste without flushing the toilet.

Other information will be broadcast via satellite vehicles from a select number of journalists at emergency centres around the UK, which will carry on as long as the diesel lasts.

Why is this giving me the heebie jeebies in a post-COVID world, especially with a soft authoritarian government like the UK? Being ready is a good damned idea, I do have stuff so I don’t have to run to the store, including a propane cook stove. Why are so many governments pushing this now? Is it a nothingburger or do they Know Something?
