NJ Governor Bans ICE From State Property And More Stupidity

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

Seriously, how deranged are Democrats when it comes to protecting illegal aliens?

N.J. bans ICE from state property, unveils site to upload videos of agents

Gov. Mikie Sherrill on Wednesday unveiled a statewide portal for residents to upload photos and videos of federal immigration activity as her administration moves to more aggressively scrutinize the work of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Standing alongside Acting Attorney General Jennifer Davenport, Sherrill also announced a new “know your rights” website and signed an executive order barring ICE agents from accessing non?public areas of state property without a judicial warrant.

The ban will also prevent agents from using property as staging areas for operations.

“We have seen dozens, even hundreds of videos of Donald Trump’s ICE agents abusing their power, smashing cars, tear gassing families, gunning down American citizens and violating our most basic rights,” Sherrill said.

When does Mickie take some illegal aliens in herself? She’s not using her regular house, instead staying in the governor’s mansion, right? Anyhow, why did Democrats have almost no problem when Obama was rounding up illegals? Why were there no protests, EOs to keep ICE off state property (yeah, that has zero authority), videos of federal agents doing their jobs when Obama was rounding up and deporting the hell out of illegals, often without court hearings?

State officials have said the database will allow residents to upload photos, videos and information about ICE activity, with the material reviewed by the Attorney General’s Office.

Davenport also signaled she was willing to prosecute federal agents for violations of state law.

Yeah, good luck with that. Good luck getting NJ law enforcement to arrest federal agents doing their legal jobs. Anyway, here’s Davenport, who forgot to mention a few things

““On February 10th, ICE was conducting a targeted enforcement to arrest Jesus Fabian Lopez-Banegas, a criminal illegal alien from Honduras. His criminal history includes drug trafficking charges, drug possession, and driving under the influence.

In 2021, a judge issued this criminal illegal alien an order of removal.

“In an attempt to evade arrest, Lopez-Banegas rammed into a law enforcement vehicle and weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run an officer over. “Following his training, the officer defensively used his firearm and shot out the tires of the vehicle to stop the threat. Thankfully, no one was injured. Officers arrested Banegas and took him into ICE custody.”

Huh.

Your Fault: Hothouse Earth Is Totally Seen By Scientists

By William Teach February 11, 2026 – 4:27 pm

Had you simply stopped showering every day and voted Democrat we could have stopped this

Scientists See Growing Risk of ‘Hothouse Earth’ as Warming Gains Pace

Warming is accelerating, threatening a cascade of tipping points that destabilize the climate. In a new paper, scientists say the risk of “hothouse Earth” is greater than once believed.

“After a million years of oscillating between ice ages separated by warmer periods, the Earth’s climate stabilized more than 11,000 years ago, enabling agriculture and complex societies,” said William Ripple of Oregon State University, lead author of the paper. “We’re now moving away from that stability and could be entering a period of unprecedented climate change.”

First, there is no such thing as truly stable. Over the past 8K years we’ve had numerous warm and cool periods, and, since we do not have full world wide data we cannot make an accurate, scientific comparison to previous warm periods. Further, if they have to describe warming as ‘climate change’, all measure of science has been run over by a steamroller.

A decade ago, countries set forth in the Paris Agreement a target of capping warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius. Earth is now likely breaching that threshold. The world has not officially surpassed the Paris target, which will be judged according to the average temperature over 20 years, but the average temperature over the last three years exceeded 1.5 degrees.

“Likely breaching” but not officially surpassed. Uh huh.

Scientists say that the Earth is likely as hot or hotter than at any point in the last 125,000 years, while carbon dioxide levels are at their highest in at least 2 million years. And warming is gaining pace as the ability of the planet to soak up our emissions weakens. Forests that were once carbon sinks are becoming carbon sources as they succumb to fire and drought, while the oceans are losing the capacity to absorb carbon dioxide.

“Likely” is not a scientific measure. They also do realize that life on Earth survived much warmer periods, right? And that the oceans were much warmer and much higher (that’s how you get coral islands), right? Well, no. Not in Cult World.

Scientists warn that the crossing of one tipping point can push the Earth past another, in a domino effect. The melting of the Greenland ice sheet, for instance, could weaken Atlantic currents, disrupting rainfall over the Amazon. A cascade of tipping points could bring about “hothouse Earth,” said coauthor Johan Rockström, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. “Our paper shows that we’re not there yet — but we’re very close.”

They’ve been saying the same thing for at least 20+ years and will be saying the same thing for at least 20 more. Could they tell us when hothouse Earth is supposed to appear?

Trump Called Cops On Epstein In 2006

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

I’ll be quite honest, this whole Epstein thing is not something I really care about. It should be something that the courts deal with, but, I understand why so many want a full release of all associated with Epstein. How he avoided the full charges, how so many Elites were involved, how elite schools were involved, and, how the Democrats desperately want Trump to be involved. About that

White House: Trump’s Alleged 2006 Call to Palm Beach Police Chief ‘Cracks’ Establishment’s Epstein Narrative on POTUS

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s alleged phone call to the Palm Beach police chief in 2006, wherein Trump allegedly told him, “Thank goodness you’ re stopping [Epstein],” dismantles establishment narratives.

Leavitt’s comments came at a White House press briefing after the Department of Justice released a document from a 2019 interview between former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter and the FBI.

Per the document, Reiter said Trump told him, “thank goodness you’ re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” and Ghislaine Maxwell “is evil and to focus on her.” The document also states that Trump told Reiter he booted Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club and that Trump “was one of the very first people to call when people found out that they were investigating” Epstein. Reiter told the Miami Herald the call occurred in July 2006.

Leavitt said she is not sure whether the call between Trump and Reiter took place, but if it did, it supports what Trump has long said.

“Look, it was a phone call that may or may not have happened in 2006. I don’t know the answer to that question. What I’m telling you is that what President Trump has always said is that he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club because Jeffrey Epstein was a creep,” she said.

“And that remains true, and this call, if it did happen, corroborates exactly what President Trump has said from the beginning,” she added.

I’m sure there are lots and lots of big wigs who were involved with Epstein, as he had his hands in a lot of pies, but, were not involved with all the child trafficking and other criminal stuff. Some who possibly had no idea what was going on. And some who realized that something shady was going on. Like, apparently, Donald Trump. And, really, at this point, there’s nothing to tie Trump to the shady, criminal stuff. If there were it would have been released during the latter Obama or Biden days.

(Daily Caller) Maxwell told Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in August that Trump was always a perfect gentleman and that she never ever saw him commit any wrongdoing. The victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking operation have always denied that Trump acted inappropriately.

You’re not getting Trump. Move on, Democrats. But, there could be other repercussions

The Epstein files might bring down a government. Just not the US government.

The questions about the exact nature of Donald Trump’s relationship with the late financier and sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein that have dogged his presidency in both terms were given fresh life last week when the Justice Department released millions of new “Epstein files.”

Not happening, libtards

The same cannot be said of every country, however. The world leader most likely to be brought down by the Epstein files is not Trump, but British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

The files contain some extremely damaging information about Peter Mandelson, a longtime power player in Starmer’s Labour Party whom he appointed as ambassador to the United States, despite the fact that Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein was already public knowledge.

The revelations have thrown the British government into turmoil. Two senior Starmer aides — his chief of staff and his communications director — have already resigned over their roles in Mandelson’s appointment, and a third is likely on his way out. On Monday, the leader of Scotland’s Labour Party, Anas Sarwar, became the most senior figure to call on Starmer to resign. So far, Starmer is defiantly rejecting calls to step down and other Cabinet ministers are rallying around the prime minister, but some highly placed sources reportedly believe it’s a coin toss whether he remains in power.

Quite frankly, it would be great if the Epstein files took down all the authoritarian wackjobs running the UK. The ones supporting crackdowns on Free Speech for actual Brits, the ones importing 3rd worlders and Islamists.

Good News: Trump Allies Have Almost Totally Wipe Out Climate (scam) Regulation

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

The NY Times is Very Upset over this

Trump Allies Near ‘Total Victory’ in Wiping Out U.S. Climate Regulation

In the summer of 2022, Democrats in Congress were racing to pass the biggest climate law in the country’s history and President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was declaring that global warming posed a “clear and present danger” to the United States.

But behind the scenes, four Trump administration veterans were plotting to obliterate federal climate efforts once Republicans regained control in Washington, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times and interviews with more than a dozen people familiar with the matter.

Two of them, Russell T. Vought and Jeffrey B. Clark, were high-profile allies of Donald Trump. Mr. Vought, who has railed against “climate alarmism,” and Mr. Clark, who has called climate rules a “Leninistic” plot to seize control of the economy, drafted executive orders for the next Republican president to dismantle climate initiatives.

The other two, Mandy Gunasekara and Jonathan Brightbill, were lesser-known conservative attorneys with long histories of fighting climate initiatives. Ms. Gunasekara, a onetime aide to the most vocal global warming denialist in the Senate, and Mr. Brightbill, who had argued in court against Obama-era climate regulations, collected an “arsenal of information” to chip away at the scientific consensus that the planet is warming, documents show.

Their efforts are now paying off. In the coming days, the Environmental Protection Agency is expected to revoke a determination that has underpinned the federal government’s ability to fight global warming since 2009.

You can feel the crying and teeth gnashing going on at the Times, eh?

In revoking that determination, the Trump administration would erase limits on greenhouse gases from cars, power plants and industries that generate the planet-warming pollution.

Unlike the swings in federal policy that have become routine when administrations change hands, getting rid of the endangerment finding could hamstring any future administration’s efforts to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.

Trump should pass an EO that anyone who supports the endangerment finding should practice what they preach. Let’s see if any do.

Texas Democrat Wants To Local Police To Determine Which Immigration Laws They Follow

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

She’s apparently competing with Jasmine Crockett to be the dumbest member of congress

Texas congresswoman files legislation to make changes to how immigration laws are enforced

A Texas congresswoman is among those on Capitol Hill who want major changes in the way federal agents enforce immigration law.

U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-Houston) has filed legislation to allow local authorities to be able to decide which immigration laws they want to enforce and which ones to ignore.

Garcia spoke to Greg Groogan with FOX 26 Houston and told him the Trump Administration is allowing ICE agents to terrorize communities and violate constitutional rights.

“They’re threatening our cities, they’re just tearing our country apart, trampling over the Constitution. They’re just, it’s just almost abhorrent and unconscionable, some of the actions that they’re taking in Minneapolis,” said Rep. Garcia.

She is aware of federal law that designates such things as our borders, who is allowed to be in the U.S., and so forth? Probably not

Rep. Garcia’s legislation would repeal a key section of the Immigration Act. Garcia described it as the part that gives the federal government authority to mandate to cities what to do on immigration.

Passing it could, in theory, also allow cities to ignore Senate Bill 4 which Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law in 2017. SB 4 requires county sheriffs to honor ICE detainers and prohibits local cities from passing ordinances that forbid police officers from asking about a person’s immigration status during a lawful detention or arrest.

Los Federales have authority regardless, per the Constitution. Local police cannot ignore things like bank robbery and kidnapping, or any other federal crimes. Democrats are just wacko for illegals. They won’t actually take them in and shelter them, of course. This legislation will go nowhere, it just whips up the unhinged base.

Democrats like Garcia are hoping the immigration enforcement fight will carry into the November general election.

She compared the deaths of two people who got into confrontations with federal agents recently in Minneapolis to the Kent State shootings in 1970.

In the interview, Rep. Garcia did not talk about the murder of Jocelyn Nungaray. The 12-year-old Houston resident was allegedly killed in 2024 by two undocumented immigrants who were caught and later released into Texas by officials with the Biden Administration.

Surprise.

Hotcoldwetdry Is A Public Law Issue Or Something

By William Teach February 10, 2026 – 3:00 pm

It’s so weird that this whole thing never boils down to practicing what you preach and, instead, is all about forcing Everyone Else to practice it. Give up their money and freedom to Government

Climate change is a public law issue – Public Law Project

Climate change isn’t just an environmental issue. It’s a public law failure.

This crisis we are living through is shaped by countless government decisions: what can be built or extracted, where resources and funding flow, who is protected from harm, and who is left to bear the risks. And as ever, those least responsible for the damage being caused are paying the highest prices.

Many communities are already experiencing devastating impacts, while climate breakdown threatens to deepen inequalities across housing, health, migration, and access to justice. These harms compound and reinforce one another.

Public Law Project has always been about protecting rights and fighting for justice. Over the years, that mission has taken many forms. We have used public law to challenge unfair decision-making, to hold public bodies to account, and to stand alongside people and communities most often shut out of power.

That sounds good in theory, but, there is a reason Progressivism is called “nice Fascism”: this is For Your Own Good. Which might play well when your parents are nice Fascists. But not for other kids, right?

For the first time, PLP‘s strategy now explicitly includes climate change. The reason is simple: justice. Climate change magnifies injustice, and public law is one of the few tools capable of exposing and confronting the decisions that drive environmental harm.

As interim CEO of PLP, I am truly excited about this new chapter of our work — one shaped by experience, grounded in justice, and focused on how public law can meet the realities of the climate crisis.

I had the opportunity to work at both ends of the scale: from the UN climate talks where international legal treaties bring nations together to tackle shared challenges, to communities far removed from the corridors of power but on the frontline of environmental struggles.

Huh. So PLP’s CEO Jamie Peters takes long fossil fueled flights?

PLP is proud to work in solidarity with marginalised groups, using our power, privilege, and expertise to help create a fairer society through public law. Much of this work has focused on immigration, where we have challenged unjust systems and policies that deny people safety, dignity, and fairness.

We know that climate change will intensify these in justice, and we will see a rise in those looking for a safe haven as they flee from increasingly unsafe areas of the world. At the same time, it is working-class communities and racialised communities who are on the sharp end of environmental injustices. It is often poorer areas of society most blighted by air pollution or facing unwanted infrastructure projects at their doorstep.

Are you getting the idea that ‘climate change’ is simply a platform for these Authoritarians to implement their wacko plans? I may refer to it as a doomsday cult, but, it’s rather the same type of cult as the Nazis. As the Soviet Union comrades. As those following Mao and Pol Pot. It’s the same type of insanity that creates the AWFLs. It’s dangerous.

9th Circuit Allows Ending Of TPS For Honduras, Nepal and Nicaragua

By William Teach February 10, 2026 – 10:30 am

It’s in the name: temporary. Further, the TPS for those nations, and others, had ended after having been extended many, many times

US appeals court lets Trump continue ending deportation protections

A U.S. appeals court in California on Monday temporarily lifted a federal judge’s order that had blocked the Trump administration from ending deportation protections for nearly 89,000 migrants from Honduras, Nepal and Nicaragua.

The 9th U.S. Court of Appeals said, the government could likely prove there were “legitimate” reasons to end Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from those countries and paused a California federal judge’s ruling against the administration for the duration of the appeal.

“TPS was never designed to be permanent, yet previous administrations have used it as a de facto amnesty program for decades,” U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on X in response to the decision. “Given the improved situation in each of these countries, we are wisely concluding what was intended to be a temporary designation.”

U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson in San Francisco blocked Noem in December from ending TPS for migrants from Honduras, Nepal and Nicaragua, finding the administration failed to adequately consider conditions in the three countries that would prevent them from returning. Thompson also said the terminations may have been motivated by racial animus, citing statements from Noem and Republican President Donald Trump portraying immigrants as criminals and a drain on U.S. society.

A unanimous three-judge 9th Circuit panel said on Monday, however, that the terminations may not have been eligible for court review. The panel also said the government could likely show that Noem appropriately considered conditions in the countries before ending the migrants’ TPS.

Judge Trina seemed to rule from her feelings, not Law, so, as usual, she was overturned. The lawfare continues to waste time.

Doom Today: Climate Crisis (scam) Could Cut Grazing Land In Half

By William Teach February 10, 2026 – 7:00 am

In 75 years, of course, when no one will remember the doomy prognostication and no one will be held responsible for them

Climate change could halve areas suitable for cattle, sheep and goat farming by 2100

Sherman Potter Bull CookiesA new study conducted at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) shows that grassland-based grazing systems—currently covering a third of Earth’s surface and representing the world’s largest production system—will see a severe contraction as global temperatures rise. Depending on the scenario analyzed, 36–50% of the land with suitable climatic conditions for grazing today will experience a loss of viability by 2100, affecting more than 100 million pastoralists and up to 1.6 billion grazing animals.

The study, published in PNAS, identifies a “safe climatic space” for cattle, sheep and goat grazing. To date, these agricultural systems have thrived within certain ranges of temperature (from ?3 to 29°C), rainfall (between 50 and 2,627 millimeters per year), humidity (from 39 to 67%) and wind speeds (between 1 and 6 meters per second).

“Climate change will shift and significantly contract these spaces globally, leaving fewer spaces for animals to graze. Importantly, many of these changes will be felt in countries that already experience hunger, economic and political instability, and higher levels of gender inequity,” commented lead author Chaohui Li, PIK researcher at the time the study was conducted and is now with the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.

Enough. It’s always something with this doomsday cult, but, how did grazing do during previous Holocene warm periods? Can they provide data? Plants like warmth. And CO2.
