Tears: Trump To Send More US Troops To Help At The Border

By William Teach February 9, 2025 – 7:00 am

And the more Democrats and their pet media gnash their teeth the more that Americans realize that Democrats are not for the working and middle class

More active duty troops will head to US-Mexico border, bringing the total to 3,600

The Pentagon will deploy roughly 1,500 more active duty soldiers to the southern border to support President Donald Trump’s expanding crackdown on immigration, a U.S. official said Friday.

That would eventually bring the total to about 3,600 active duty troops at the border.

The order has been approved, the official said, to send a logistics brigade from the 18th Airborne Corps at Fort Liberty in North Carolina. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the deployment has not yet been publicly announced. (snip)

Troops going to the border are expected to help put in place concertina wire barriers and provide needed transportation, intelligence and other support to the Border Patrol. The logistics brigade will help support and sustain the troops.

Regardless of what they do, the bigger picture is that it deincentivizes people to cross the border, or even just show up and demand asylum. They’ll see the military as a blocking force, much like they’ll see shipping all those illegals to Guantanamo Bay as a deterrent. And you can bet there will be more sent over the months.

Good thing all the people who lost their homes in the fires have been taken care of, right?

Idiot Woman Arrested After Replacing US Flag With Mexican Flag, Threatens To Kill Deputies

By William Teach February 8, 2025 – 10:30 am

Now, just imagine this all occurred in Mexico, with a Mexican flag being replaced with a U.S. one, and all the rest. How would that go?

Woman takes down US flag, replaces it with Mexican flag at California park: ‘This is Mexican land’

A woman was arrested on Thursday after she took down an American flag and placed it on the muddy ground at a California park, replacing it with a Mexican flag.

Kern County deputies responded to the entrance of Hart Memorial Park in Bakersfield on Thursday morning after receiving reports of someone trying to steal the U.S. flag, the sheriff’s office said in a social media post.

When park rangers arrived, they found a vehicle on the grass near a flag pole, authorities said.

The woman, identified as Crystal Aguilar, 24, allegedly cut the chain that secured the flagpole and threw the American flag on the ground. She then raised the Mexican flag in its place, saying they were on “Mexican land.”

Body-worn camera video from sheriff’s deputies shows Aguilar saying, “You’re not going to tell me what to do, this is Mexican land, motherf—–.”

She then allegedly resisted the deputies and threatened to have them and their families, including their children, killed.

Let’s see

She was book for trespassing, vandalism, resisting arrest, and threatening a law enforcement officer. I wonder if ICE will notice, and look to ascertain whether she is a legal U.S. citizen or here illegally or a fake asylum seeker. She’ll find herself booted quickly, and could lead ICE to other illegals in her area. What did she think was going to happen when she did this? Lollipops and unicorns? Applause?

Twenty Two States Sue NY Over Their Climate Scam Law

By William Teach February 8, 2025 – 7:00 am

Well, that’s a real shame. I truly hope the plaintiff lawyers ask the NY big wigs if they are still using fossil fuels for travel

Twenty-two states sue New York over climate change fund law

According to the AP, Twenty-two states have filed a lawsuit against New York, challenging a new law that mandates major energy producers to contribute $75 billion to a fund aimed at addressing climate change damage.

The lawsuit, submitted in Albany, names state Attorney General Letitia James and other officials as defendants.

West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey spearheaded the coalition opposing New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act, which demands payments for damage allegedly caused from 2000 to 2018.

The law requires significant fossil fuel companies to pay into the fund over the next 25 years based on their historical gas emissions.

“This lawsuit is to ensure that these misguided policies, being forced from one state onto the entire nation, will not lead America into the doldrums of an energy crisis, allowing China, India and Russia to overtake our energy independence.

This law is unconstitutional, and I am proud to lead this coalition of attorneys general and brave private energy companies and industry groups in our fight to protect against this overreach,” “If we allow New York to get away with this, it will only be a matter of time before other states follow suit – wrecking our nation’s power grid.”

I wonder how this one will go, since a NJ superior court judge just threw out a law because “Plaintiffs seek damages for alleged harms caused by interstate and international emissions and global warming, their claims cannot be governed by state law.”

Next On The DOGE Hit Parade: The Consumer Protection Financial Bureau

By William Teach February 8, 2025 – 6:45 am

Oh, this one is sending the Democrats into even more apoplexy on top of all the other crazy. It’s full on Category 5 Moonbat

DOGE targets Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as Musk tweets ‘RIP’

Tech billionaire Elon Musk signaled on Friday that he could seek to dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, as he and his advisers — deputized by President Donald Trump to cut costs — burrowed into the federal watchdog formed to protect Americans from scams and corporate abuse.

On X, his social media site, Musk posted: “CFPB RIP,” along with an emoji of a tombstone.

Hours earlier, Musk’s aides — under the banner of the U.S. DOGE Service — arrived at the CFPB’s Washington office and began to access its sensitive personnel and financial records, according to emails viewed by The Washington Post and four people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisal.

Initially, the DOGE officials appeared to study the CFPB’s compliance with Trump’s recent executive orders, including its directive to freeze federal hiring, the people said. The bureau this week broadly halted its work of investigating and penalizing corporate wrongdoing, after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — tapped by Trump to oversee CFPB on an acting basis — ordered an agency-wide freeze on Monday.

The CFPB is not as bad as many. There was serious concern initially, and, some of it has born fruit, like their intrusive over-regulation. But, now, we’ll see if they are also funneling money in, let’s just say, improper manners.

The agency’s investigative work can be highly sensitive, affording the bureau extraordinary access to a bank’s communications, customer records and other nonpublic data. But it is unclear whether DOGE officials have been able to access any of those records at the agency, according to the four people familiar with the matter. An email reviewed by The Post suggested that Musk’s team may only be able to view, and not change, some databases.

In other words, the Washington Post and the liberals do not want transparency.

Meanwhile, Democrats tried to gain access to the ED (Education Department), and this security guard was not having it. I love how he didn’t even bother to move his glasses from the top of his head. And facial expressions. Probably listening to Pink Floyd’s Brain Damage in his head

Trump To Sign EO On Ending Plastic Straw Bans

By William Teach February 7, 2025 – 3:00 pm

Bet you didn’t see this one coming

Trump says he’ll sign order promoting plastic straws

President Trump said Friday he plans to sign an executive order promoting plastic straws after his predecessor sought to phase out single-use plastics from government operations.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “I will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don’t work. BACK TO PLASTIC!”

The post appears to be referring to former President Biden’s goal of phasing out single-use plastic — like plastic straws — in federal food service by 2027 and government operations at large by 2035.

Plastics are produced using oil and gas, and promoting the use of the material could be a win for Trump’s allies in the energy industry as well as the plastics industry.

When the Biden goals were announced, the White House said plastic was “littering our ocean, poisoning the air of communities near production facilities, and threatening public health.”

And the climate cultists have been dead set against anything made with petroleum, because they’re wackos.

Microplastics have become omnipresent in the environment. Human exposure to these tiny plastics have been linked to brain development and reproductive development issues in animal studies.

These aren’t necessarily microplastics. The better, wiser, and more responsible thing to do would have been to push for private citizens and corporations to develop alternatives that works as well, not those horrible paper straws, and annoying metal ones. As a true environmentalist I’m all for reducing plastic pollution. Of course, we still have India, China, and other Southeast Asian countries who are big time polluters to deal with. But the cultists and enviro-weenies, often one and the same, do not care about using science, they’re more about political power.

While it’s not totally clear what material straws, if any, would have replaced plastic in federal use, other types, including paper, may also pose environmental and health concerns. A 2023 study found that compounds known as PFAS, which make materials water resistant but can be toxic, were found in almost all types of straws, including paper and bamboo.

Oops.

What would have been funnier is if Trump had said was 100% against plastic straws and utensils, that the paper and alternatives were big and wonderful and great: the Leftists would have then opposed him and would want plastic back. You cannot tell me I’m wrong.

NY Times Moonbats Over Trump’s “Power Grab”

By William Teach February 7, 2025 – 10:30 am

See, it was no problem when the Biden-Harris admin was grabbing power in telling schools they had to allow gender confused in women’s sports and bathrooms, that manufacturers had to make EVs which would be the only things consumers could purchase, that consumers could only purchase Approved washers, dryers, and other home appliances, and so much more

Trump’s Power Grab Defies G.O.P. Orthodoxy on Local Control

In the space of two weeks, President Trump threatened to halt a congestion pricing program intended to reduce traffic in New York City and intervened in California as it confronted ruinous fires, overruling local officials as he made decisions about how to manage the state’s complicated water system.

Well, how were the local officials doing with that water management in the People’s Republik of California?

He signed one executive order cutting off federal aid to elementary and high schools that allow transgender athletes to play in women’s sports, and another intended to end funding to medical institutions that use puberty blockers or hormones in gender-affirming treatments. On Thursday, his administration sued the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois in federal court, claiming that sanctuary laws are obstructing the federal government’s ability to enforce immigration policies.

Forcing cities to comply with federal law is now a power grab? I don’t remember the Times freaking out when Obama went after Arizona on SB1070. Not funding life altering medications for minors is a power grab? Well, if it is, I’m good with that.

For decades, the Republican Party, more than the Democratic Party, presented itself as an advocate of federalism, yielding authority and power to state and local governments. But this once-central tenet of Republican thought has seemingly been scrapped, with little debate, as Mr. Trump remakes the Republican Party in his name.

“Republicans believe in federalism, of deferring to the states and the government closest to the people,” said Karl Rove, who was a senior adviser to President George W. Bush. “Not clear how much he shares that view.”

If they want those federal dollars then there are conditions. Perhaps, if Democrats want to do crazy things, then the power and scope of the federal government should be reduced back to where it should be, including all that money.

The president’s attempt to dictate actions by the states — particularly the blue states — is the latest instance in which Mr. Trump has scrambled what remains of Republican orthodoxy. He has forced the party to abandon some of its ideological foundations on questions of foreign policy, deficit spending and, increasingly, respecting the rights of states to govern themselves and resist federal intervention.

That’s not what’s really going on, but, they really do not like Trump returning sanity to federal policy. Blowing up Democrat ideology. Liberal tears taste great.
