Oh Noes, GOP Mayors Take On Trump Over Illegals

By William Teach January 29, 2026 – 6:45 am

This is so horrible for Trump

‘Our cities are no longer safe’: GOP mayors condemn Trump immigration enforcement

A number of Republican mayors are condemning the Trump administration’s hardline immigration enforcement tactics in Minnesota, as they call on the president to pull back from Minneapolis and worry their cities might be next.

“It’s roiling the country,” Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt told POLITICO. “We’re all sort of feeling the angst of our residents and the fear that our city will be next and that chaos is going to inevitably creep across the entire country.”

Fresno, California, Mayor Jerry Dyer said in an interview that “too much damage has been done” with the crackdown and “the trust in communities has been lost.”

And Burnsville, Minnesota, Mayor Elizabeth Kautz, warned that the agency’s current tactics meant “our cities are no longer safe.”

The remarks from the trio of moderate-leaning GOP mayors who have broken with Trump in the past came at the annual gathering of the nonpartisan U.S. Conference of Mayors, held blocks from the White House. Holt chairs the conference.

And then there’s ……. no one else. This is what the Credentialed Media does, find a few utter squishes and inflates the importance, making it seem as if there are a whole bunch who disagree with Trump, and that their voices are super important and Should Be Listened To. When, in fact, there are always going to be a few who disagree, especially when there are plenty of pure Squishes in the GOP. Burnsville is right outside Little Somalia, er, Minneapolis, so, of course Kautz is going to be Squish. Fresno is weird, because it is a majority Dem city which tends to vote Republican mayors, who are utter Squishes. Holt has been a Never Trumper who cavorts with the wackos at The Bulwark.

The Republican leaders’ calls for Trump to deescalate after the fatal shootings of two Minnesotans by federal agents show the GOP’s deepening fissures over the administration’s aggressive immigration agenda, even as the mayors and Republicans broadly offered support for the president’s overall goal. And their alarm comes as ICE ramps up operations in other states, including Arizona and Maine.

Do the voters care what the get along go along Republicans, the Never Trumpers, the Squishes think? Trump voters are thrilled by this.

Good News: US Is Officially Out Of Paris Climate (scam) Agreement

By William Teach January 28, 2026 – 4:29 pm

Seriously, how could we actually be in it when it was set up to avoid the required vote by the US Senate on treaties, Article II, Section 2, Clause 2?

America Officially Leaves the Paris Climate Agreement. For the Second Time.

As of Tuesday, the United States is no longer a party to the Paris agreement on climate change, becoming the only country in the world to abandon the international commitment to slow global warming.

The formal departure from the climate accord comes one year after President Trump signed an executive order to begin the process of withdrawal. Earlier this month Mr. Trump said the United States would also leave the United Nations treaty that underlies the Paris agreement, which was unanimously ratified by the U.S. Senate in 1992 and signed by President George H.W. Bush.

The dual moves by Mr. Trump underline America’s isolation in the effort to control emissions of greenhouse gases, mostly from the burning of fossil fuels, that are dangerously heating the planet.

I had to look to see if this was in the news section or opinion, but, it’s in the climate section, so, cult opinion.

The United States is currently the planet’s second largest climate polluter after China. It is also the largest historic emitter of greenhouse gases in the world, which is notable because emissions linger in the atmosphere for decades or even centuries, trapping heat and contributing to sea level rise, heat waves and intensifying extreme weather like floods, wildfires and droughts.

CO2 is not a pollutant, so, yeah, this is cult propaganda.

Wopke Hoekstra, the European Union climate commissioner, said abandoning the Paris agreement is a “clear absence of leadership” that will have “significant negative impacts” on America’s reputation.

Seriously, no one really cares, except all the 3rd world shitholes and island nations which like the zero strings attached scam money to flow in.

“What others will say is, ‘How on Earth is it possible that a country with this might, with this deep a purse, and with this direct responsibility for the planet heating up, basically checks out’?” Mr. Hoekstra said.

See? It’s the money. If these big wigs really cared then they’d make sure they had a zero carbon footprint in their own lives, and that their countries were actually moving towards the “1.5C” goal, when, in fact, most are missing it.

Jennifer Morgan, a senior fellow at the Fletcher School at Tufts University and Germany’s former climate envoy, said she believes other countries will continue to transition to clean energy. But she said, “It will really require leadership from the European Union and other countries to be a heavyweight against the Trump administration’s efforts to roll things back.”

Good. Let’s see how much further their economies and societies collapse. Every experiment needs an experimental group.

ICE Agents And Their Families Seeing Massive Increase In Death Threats

By William Teach January 28, 2026 – 10:30 am

Is it any wonder they wear face coverings, when they have to deal with the peace and love crowd?

‘I Hope Your Wife Dies:’ ICE Agents, Their Families Face 8,000% Increase in Death Threats

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, tasked by Congress to carry out federal immigration law, are facing an unprecedented increase in death threats against themselves and their families.

This week, ICE officials revealed the extent to which agents are being threatened by “Abolish ICE” sympathizers, detailing an 8,000 percent increase in death threats and a more than 1,300 percent increase in assaults against agents.

In one recent threat, officials said, a man left a voicemail on an ICE agent’s phone in which he called him a “fucking fascist pig” and pleaded with him to “kill yourself,” as well as making threats against the agent’s wife.

“I hope your wife dies. I hope your mom and dad die,” the man said in the voicemail, according to officials. “I hope everything wrong that could go in your life happens. I hope you have the most miserable life.”

Of course, Democrats will surely defend this by saying that if ICE wasn’t doing the job as directed by federal law there would be no problem. I wonder, why didn’t they do this when Obama was deporting the hell out of people?

Around 67 died in custody under Obama. The numbers show that at least 55%, up to 84%, were summary removals and non-judicial, meaning they did not see a judge or have a formal hearing. Yet, no riots, no death threats.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said elected Democrats in sanctuary jurisdictions are fanning the flames that are emboldening anti-ICE activists to threaten agents.

“Make no mistake, threatening rhetoric and this unprecedented violence against our law enforcement is incited by sanctuary politicians through their repeated vilification and demonization of law enforcement,” McLaughlin said.

“Comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences,” McLaughlin said. “The men and women of ICE are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters. They get up every morning to try and make our communities safer. Like everyone else, we just want to go home to our families at night. The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop.”

Democrat politicians and talking heads, the leaders in the Dem party, are enabling the behavior with what they say. The peasants feel empowered to be violent, to make threats. Like this

People’s Republik Of Maine Considers Making Fossil Fuels Companies Pay

By William Teach January 28, 2026 – 7:15 am

This pretty much has worked so far, but, sure, try it

New legislation would make Maine’s polluters pay

Fossil fuel companies are spewing billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the air every year. These gases rise and act like a blanket in the atmosphere, reflecting heat back toward the Earth, where it’s absorbed by the ocean. This is why the Gulf of Maine is one of the fastest warming bodies of water on the planet.

Funny how every body of water is the fastest warming, eh? It’s almost like this is based on cult doctrine, not science

Our rising ocean temperatures are the root cause of more frequent and more severe storms. And these storms are costly. Flooding, high winds and falling trees have cost Maine electric ratepayers over $200 million in each of the past four years. We see these costs in our rising electric bills.

No, it’s just that there are more buildings and such and everything costs more. Hell, thanks to COVID that cost is probably double what it would have been in 2019

As storms and costs continue to increase, it’s time to hold fossil fuel companies accountable. Maine electric ratepayers should not pay for climate damage they did not cause. Nor should they pay for local infrastructure to protect downtowns, roads, bridges and sewage treatment plants from flooding.

This is the rationale behind “polluter pays” legislation, an important bill before the Legislature this month.

Introduced by state Sen. Stacy Brenner, the “Polluter Pays” bill (LD 1870) would charge fossil fuel companies a fee for climate damage they’ve caused in Maine. The funds would be deposited into a state “climate superfund” and used to pay for storm repair and strengthening local infrastructure.

Why is it never “users pay”? Because the people of Maine sure use a lot. Hey, just look at Governor Janet Mills, who took a fossil fueled private jet to California for a fundraiser in January. Oh, and

This was done for the storm days, for which 70% of their power came from fossil fuels. Think solar would have worked as the snow came down? How about wind turbines as they froze?

Wackjob Philly DA Vows To “Hunt Down” ICE Agents

By William Teach January 28, 2026 – 7:00 am

He’s really skirting the line of being a criminal threat to federal law enforcement. Maybe he should worry more about Philly’s crime rate, which is a 1 (100 is best), with violent and property crime rates over 3 times the Pennsylvania average and well over double the US average

Soros-backed Philadelphia DA vows to ‘hunt’ down ICE agents: ‘We will find you’

Philadelphia’s top prosecutor, a George Soros-backed district attorney, is facing scrutiny and backlash after vowing to “hunt” down federal immigration agents as city leaders move to curb ICE operations.

Speaking during a morning event outside City Hall tied to newly unveiled “ICE OUT” legislation, District Attorney Larry Krasner sharply criticized Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

“This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis. That’s what they are,” Krasner said. “In a country of 350 million, we outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice.”

First off, he’s giving the green light for the Dem wackos to attack ICE agents. Second, he could easily have set himself up to be sued for defamation/slander by employees of ICE.

Then there’s this constant dipshit

Swalwell promises, if elected governor, former ICE agents would be ‘unhirable’ in California

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., appeared to say on Tuesday that if he is elected governor, former ICE agents would be forbidden any future employment or even driver’s licenses in California. (big snip)

“And I have said that when I‘m governor of California, if you wear a mask in California, you‘re losing your driver’s license. If you have worked for ICE in the past, you are unhirable in our state. That law enforcement will prosecute you for kidnapping, battery, assault, murder on the people in our communities.

Well, good luck with that, Sparky. Have fun getting sued

Americans Are Ready For Collective Action On ‘Climate Change’ Because Of Winter Weather Or Something

By William Teach January 27, 2026 – 3:00 pm

I was trying to avoid more of the “it’s your fault that heat trapping gases are causing bad winter weather”, but, this is a doozy

What Americans Get Wrong About Climate Action
Americans are ready to act on climate change; it’s time for collective solutions.

The severe winter storm hitting the United States this week, described as “once-in-a-lifetime,” has prompted prominent figures to ask how global warming fits with this chilly weather event. Of course, scientists have long explained that climate change causes not only global warming, but also global weirding: A phenomenon by which extreme weather and natural disasters increase in frequency and intensity, displacing millions of people around the world. In our research at the Stanford Climate Cognition Lab, we focus on promoting solutions to climate change.

Do you know what matters most when it comes to addressing the climate crisis? If not, you’re not alone. Many Americans think recycling is one of the most effective ways to fight climate change. They’re wrong by at least a factor of 10. One fewer transatlantic flight cuts more emissions than a year of perfect recycling—yet most people misjudge these impacts by an order of magnitude. And one well-placed vote can cut about 10 times more carbon than living car-free for a year.

Wait, is the author actually asking Warmists to practice what they preach? Huh.

That means our communication needs to do two things at once: correct misperceptions about which personal actions matter and inspire people to see themselves as part of an effective, hopeful movement. People should know that skipping one flight helps, but also that voting, organizing, and pressuring institutions can create change at a scale no individual choice ever could.

This doesn’t mean personal actions don’t matter. Individual choices can model new norms, create market demand for sustainable products, and demonstrate commitment to shared values. But they shouldn’t be the primary focus of climate strategy. Instead, imagine if the climate movement put as much energy into making collective action feel accessible and rewarding as it has into promoting individual lifestyle tweaks. Picture campaigns that celebrate real climate wins, connect people to local groups, and highlight the social joy of working together toward a shared goal.

The stakes are too high for well-intentioned messaging that misses the mark. Americans are ready to act on climate change; it’s time to channel that motivation toward collective solutions, so that “once-in-a-lifetime” climate events don’t become a yearly occurrence.

One would think that 30 years of spreading awareness would diminish the need for this type of messaging, but, then, they just refuse to give up on their Big Brother beliefs.

Mostly Peaceful But Fiery Pro-Illegal Agitators Arrested In Minneapolis

By William Teach January 27, 2026 – 10:30 am

Did they not think there would be consequences?

Anti-ICE agitators arrested outside Minnesota hotel as police declare unlawful assembly: ‘No longer peaceful’

Police in Minnesota began arresting anti-ICE agitators outside a hotel Monday after authorities said the demonstration escalated and was “no longer considered peaceful,” prompting officers to declare an unlawful assembly.

The demonstrators were outside the SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Maple Grove, Minnesota, where they believed U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino was staying.

Maple Grove police said officers responded on Monday to reports of a protest at the hotel and that the protest escalated when agitators allegedly began throwing objects at officers and damaging property.

After police declared an unlawful assembly and issued a dispersal order, several people who refused to leave were arrested, authorities said.

“The Maple Grove Police Department respects and upholds the First Amendment rights of individuals to peacefully assemble and express their views. Our priority remains the safety and security of all residents, visitors, and property within our community,” a spokesperson for the police department said in a statement to KSTP.

“At that point, the activity was no longer considered peaceful. Individuals participating in criminal acts are not protected under the First Amendment and were subject to arrest,” the spokesperson added.

Seriously, though, what took them so long? We saw video on Sunday of the nutters attempting to damage the building, and assaulted a federal agent.

How soon till a judge releases them with no charges?

Good Grief: A Normal Winter Storm Tests US Disaster Response

By William Teach January 27, 2026 – 7:15 am

The doomsday cultists just can’t help themselves

A Winter Storm Fueled by Global Warming Tests U.S. Disaster Response

A sprawling winter storm that left hundreds of thousands without power, grounded thousands of flights and disrupted travel across the eastern half of the U.S. could be the first real test of the second Trump administration’s Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The president has said that he wants to eliminate FEMA, and the agency has lost thousands of employees since his second term began. Emergency-management experts have braced for the moment that a weakened FEMA would face a multi-state disaster.

Just to be clear, as I believe I’ve said before, I do not want FEMA eliminated, it should be returned to its original mission, which was coordination, not running everything.

Scientists agree that human-caused warming has changed the way air and energy move around the planet in complex and interrelated ways that influence outbreaks of extreme winter weather.

The current cold wave is not happening in isolation, but in a fundamentally altered climate system. At a basic level, the oceans are warmer and the atmosphere holds more moisture than 50 or 100 years ago. Both fuel stronger storms, including nor’easters, which have intensified significantly in recent decades, according to a 2024 study.

Same old cult talking points

Nor’easters spin up along the East Coast, drag subtropical moisture from the south and pull frigid polar air from the north. Both their maximum wind speeds and hourly precipitation rates have increased since 1940, said University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann, a co-author of the paper.

That research, he said via email, for the first time was able to quantify the changes. He warned that “more intense storms, with greater amounts of snowfall” are to be expected, even as the planet warms.

“Stronger storms, as they spin, pull up more warm air on one side and pull more cold air down on the other side, so we see both warm and cold temperature extremes associated with them,” he said.

How about the snow storm of 1804, which dropped 48 inches? Or 1888 with 58 inches? The Great Blizzard Of 1899? It got a name! There have been plenty prior to CO2 breaking the mythical 350ppm. 103 inches in 1966. Were these all caused by ‘climate change’? Do normal people believe this BS? All the media is pulling this cult talking point out of their butts, like here and here. It’s all rather cultish.
