LOL: Illinois Passes Law Banning Feds From Arresting Illegals Near Courthouses

By William Teach November 2, 2025 – 7:00 am

You have no power here

Illinois lawmakers pass bill banning ICE immigration arrests near courthouses

Illinois lawmakers passed a bill on Friday prohibiting federal agents from making immigration arrests near courthouses.

The measure also allows lawsuits when people believe their constitutional rights were violated during civil immigration arrests.

The legislation, approved largely along party lines, was sent to Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker’s desk. His office said he supports the idea and will review the proposal when it reaches his desk.

According to the bill, civil damages for false imprisonment could be imposed when a migrant attending a court hearing or appearing as a party or witness to a legal proceeding is arrested. (snip)

The measure also requires hospitals, day care centers and higher education institutions to create policies detailing how they would handle immigration agents inside their facilities.

Well, if Photobucket was working for my blog (it works fine on my backup, and earlier than the 1030am post on October 30), I’d have that scene from The Two Towers about “you have no power here“, from Demolition Man with Wesley Snipes saying “I’m so scared“, and from Batman where he says “good luck”. Let’s see if the last one works as a GIF

This state law means exactly zip to Los Federales. They do not have to follow it in the least. Meanwhile, the pro-illegal crowd was posting up a seriously cut version of this video, saying how bad it was that law enforcement pulled a gun

Don’t mess with law enforcement. Don’t pull shenanigans. Otherwise, they are legally allowed to do this while you poop your pants.

Your Fault: Study Says Global Boiling Made Hurricane Melissa 4 Times Worse

By William Teach November 1, 2025 – 3:00 pm

We could have avoided this had you moved into a tiny home, hand washed and line dried your clothes, and replaced all your lightbulbs

Climate Change Made Hurricane Melissa 4 Times More Likely, Study Suggests

Fueled by unusually warm waters, Hurricane Melissa this week turned into one of the strongest Atlantic storms ever recorded. Now a new rapid attribution study suggests human-induced climate change made the deadly tropical cyclone four times more likely.

Hurricane Melissa collided with Jamaica on Tuesday, wreaking havoc across the island before tearing through nearby Haiti and Cuba. The storm, which reached Category 5, reserved for the hurricanes with the most powerful winds, has killed at least 40 people across the Caribbean so far. Now weakened to a Category 2, it continues its path toward Bermuda, where landfall is likely on Thursday night, according to the National Hurricane Center. (snip)

The findings echo similar reports released earlier this week on how global warming contributed to the likelihood and severity of Hurricane Melissa. Each of the analyses add to a growing body of research showing how ocean warming from climate change is fueling the conditions necessary for stronger tropical storms.

Hurricane Melissa is “kind of a textbook example of what we expect in terms of how hurricanes respond to a warming climate,” said Brian Soden, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Miami, who was not involved in the recent analyses. “We know that the warming ocean temperatures [are] being driven almost exclusively by increasing greenhouse gases.”

Melissa has even ended yet, and it’s been less than a week since it crossed Jamaica, and they’re already trotting a study, linked to other cult studies? I call complete and utter bullshit.

For the rapid attribution study, researchers at Imperial College used the peer-reviewed Imperial College Storm Model, known as IRIS, which has created a database of millions of synthetic tropical cyclone tracks that can help fill in gaps on how storms operate in the real world.

The model essentially runs simulations on the likelihood of a given storm’s wind speed—often the most damaging factor—in a pre-industrial climate versus the current climate. Applying IRIS to Hurricane Melissa is how the researchers determined that human-induced warming supercharged the cyclone’s wind speed by 7 percent.

Computer models. Cult bullshit.

FBI Arrests Multiple Jihadis In Potential Halloween Weekend Plot

By William Teach November 1, 2025 – 10:30 am

One would think this would be bigger news, but, most outlets are ignoring it or burying it low

Multiple people arrested in Michigan in a Halloween weekend attack plot, FBI director says

Multiple people who had been allegedly plotting a violent attack over the Halloween weekend were arrested Friday in Michigan, FBI Director Kash Patel said in a social media post.

The law enforcement effort was focused on suburban Detroit. Patel said more information would be released later.

Investigators believe the plot was inspired by Islamic State extremism and are investigating whether those in custody were potentially radicalized online, according to two people briefed on the investigation who could not publicly discuss details. They spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

FBI and state police vehicles were in a neighborhood near Fordson High School in Dearborn. People wearing shirts marked FBI walked in and out of a house, including one person who collected paper bags and other items from an evidence truck.

The investigation involved discussion in an online chatroom involving at least some of the suspects who were taken into custody, people familiar with the investigation told AP. The group had discussed carrying out an attack around Halloween, referring to “pumpkin day,” according to one of the people. The other person briefed on the investigation confirmed that there had been a “pumpkin” reference.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the group had the means to carry out an attack, but the reference to Halloween prompted the FBI to make arrests Friday, one of the people said.

I wonder how many of them were let in during the Biden administration, and were not vetted? Or how many were let in previously, just adding to the extremist population which we should have known better post 9/11? There’s a reason it is called Dearbornistan. Which is not necessarily fair, because many have been there a long time and have assimilated. But, there are plenty who haven’t.

Trump Admin Sending Low Level Flunkies To COP30

By William Teach November 1, 2025 – 7:15 am

It would be funny as hell if they all traveled to COP30 in Brazil by low carbon means, such as a sailing ship, then used an EV, rather than the long, fossil fueled flights and big SUVs that the other 40K+ will be taking

Trump won’t send ‘high level’ officials to climate conference

The U.S. won’t be sending any “high level” representatives to this year’s United Nations climate summit, a White House official told The Hill on Friday.

The summit, known as COP30, will be held in Brazil next month. Traditionally at such meetings, nations discuss their plans for climate action, unveil climate-related initiatives and seek to negotiate global climate agreements.

The official noted that President Trump is working directly on international energy issues with leaders, including in recent trade deals.

The administration’s move not to participate in the summit is not necessarily a surprise. Trump and many of his Cabinet officials have sought to downplay the impacts of climate change and roll back regulations, including the 2009 determination that climate change poses a threat to public health.

Oh, well. I guess a whole bunch of the people who think they are high muckety mucks in the bureaucracy won’t be getting free vacations to Brazil.

White Liberal Woman Judge Blocks Order Requiring Proof Of Citizenship

By William Teach November 1, 2025 – 7:00 am

But, really, per the Supreme Court ruling, WLW judge’s order cannot go beyond her district

US judge permanently blocks Trump order requiring voters to prove citizenship

A federal judge on Friday permanently blocked part of an executive order from Republican U.S. President Donald Trump, ruling that the president cannot require voters to show passports or similar documents as proof of citizenship before voting.

Several lawsuits have challenged the president’s March 25 executive order, a sweeping order aimed at overhauling federal elections, and courts had already temporarily blocked it from going into effect. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington, D.C., was the first to reach a final ruling against the executive order.

Kollar-Kotelly permanently blocked the part of the executive order that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote. The judge had previously declined to block the part of the executive order that would bar states from counting mail-in ballots received after Election Day.

The ruling came in response to lawsuits by groups including the Democratic National Committee, the League of United Latin American Citizens and the League of Women Voters Education Fund.

Knowing the history, Judge WLM will see her ruling overturned, even with

Kollar-Kotelly found that part of the order was illegal because the U.S. Constitution gives states, not the president, the power to oversee elections.

But, Los Federales set some of the terms for federal elections. Really, all the left wants to do is make it easier for non-citizens to vote.

Climahypocrite Harrison Ford Calls Trump Greatest Criminal In History

Pol Pot? Hitlet? Stalin? Mao?

Harrison Ford Slams Trump on Climate: ‘I Don’t Know of a Greater Criminal in History’

Harrison Ford slammed the Trump administration and their lack of policies to combat climate change in a new interview.

Speaking to the Guardian, Ford — a vocal critic of Donald Trump — expressed concern about the future of the environment, especially in the aftermath of the Los Angeles area wildfires that impacted thousands of Californians, including himself.

“[Trump] doesn’t have any policies, he has whims. It scares the shit out of me,” Ford said. “The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy. [Trump] knows better, but he’s an instrument of the status quo and he’s making money, hand over fist, while the world goes to hell in a hand basket. It’s unbelievable. I don’t know of a greater criminal in history.”

Uh huh

Harrison was also giving the interview while in Chicago. How’d he get there?

Here Come The Warnings Of THC Infused Halloween Candy

By William Teach October 31, 2025 – 10:30 am

Does this really happen?

Law enforcement warning parents of possible THC-laced candies ahead of trick-or-treating

As children and teens prepare for trick-or-treating on Friday night, law enforcement is warning parents of a disturbing trend involving candy being laced with THC products.

During their final formal meeting in September, some of the state’s top elected officials said they were concerned that THC-laced candies, cookies and other treats were mimicking packaging similar to popular snacks, like Oreos.

“It’s ‘Stoneo,’ with a picture of an Oreo on it,” Secretary of State Elaine Marshall said as she passed them around the table during a meeting with the state’s top elected official in September.

“For the logo for Nabisco, it’s ‘Dabisco.’ The problem is, these are geared toward children. It’s an adult product.”

Detective Bailey Bertolani with the Sampson County Sheriff’s Office said the candies on the surface look normal, but there is labeling that notifies people that it is, in fact, a THC product.

Let me ask, is anyone going to be giving their pot treats out? They aren’t cheap. Considerably more than regular candy. I suppose someone stoned to the gills could make the mistake occasionally, but, doubtful.

If they end up in a candy supply, some of them could be deadly to a child going from house to house to get candy. While authorities say there have been no reports of the trend in North Carolina between their meeting in September and Thursday, they are asking parents to remain aware.

“I would recommend to just look over your kid’s candy,” Bertolani said. “If it’s not in a known sealed package, throw it away. Contact your local law enforcement agency.”

Can they report on how many times this has actually happened?

While none have been found during this Halloween season, a study published in a medical journal from the American Academy of Pediatrics found reports of children aged 6 and under consuming THC went up “1,375%” between 2017 and 2019, exploding from 200 cases to more than 3,000.

Yeah, kids might grab it at home (adults should keep that stuff locked up like a firearm when kids are around), but, no one is giving it out at Halloween. Please stop the scaremongering.

Climate Doom And Tariffs Are Causing Halloween Candy Prices To Rise Or Something

By William Teach October 31, 2025 – 7:15 am

I was waiting for a Hotcoldwetdry and Halloween piece to show up, very light this year

Halloween candy prices rising, spooked by Trump’s tariffs and climate change

Ghosts and goblins might not be the only scary things popping up this Halloween. Prices for the holiday’s most popular candy treats are rising, spooked by Donald Trump’s tariffs and climate change.

Candy prices are estimated to increase by 10.8% this year, according to new analysis from progressive groups the Century Foundation and the Groundwork Collaborative, with some popular chocolate-based treats seeing price upticks of at least 20%. The price increases could mean popular candy like Tootsie Rolls and Hershey’s chocolate and variety packs are a few dollars more expensive than just a year ago.

Chocolate candies are especially at risk of higher prices because of a years-long cocoa shortage that has caused the price of cocoa to triple over the last few years. Climate-related rain and damage to cocoa crops in west Africa – the biggest exporter of cocoa beans – have caused cocoa to peak at more than $12,000 per ton in 2024. Though prices have since gone down to about $6,000 per ton, they are still much higher than prices seen in 2020, when cocoa was $2,300 per ton.

The rising price of cocoa is only one part of the story on candy prices. Donald Trump has placed tariffs on the biggest exporters of chocolate to the US. Imports from the Ivory Coast, the largest producer of cocoa, are taxed with a 21% tariff. Ecuador, the second-largest producer, faces a 15% tariff.

Oh, you mean when the COVID lockdowns and such caused things to spike? But, you know, this is the fault of Trump and ‘climate change’. As for tariffs, perhaps those countries could remove their tariffs on US goods.

Of course, what they don’t want to mention is all constant price increase from Bidenflation during his years. Of course not.
