Liberals Unhinged Over FBI Arresting Leftist Judge Who Helped Illegal Criminal Escape ICE

Report: FBI Arrests Judge Who Helped Illegal Migrant Dodge Deportation

The FBI has arrested a left-wing Wisconsin judge for allegedly helping an illegal migrant escape arrest, according to a Wisconsin newspaper.

“Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week,” FBI director Kash Patel wrote in a quickly deleted tweet, says a report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

“We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest,” Patel wrote.

You don’t just arrest judge for 8 U.S.C. § 1324, harboring/sheltering an illegal alien, a law established in 1952, for believing. They have the evidence. And it is how and who she protected

From the show more

..these crimes, victim is in court.

Judge finds out. She goes out into the hallway. Screams at the immigration officer. She’s furious. Visibly shaken. Upset. Sends them off to talk to the chief judge.

“She comes back into the courtroom. You’re not going to believe this. Takes the defendant and the defense attorney back in her chambers. Takes them out a private exit and tells them to leave. While the state prosecutor and victims of domestic violence are sitting in the courtroom.”

Democrat judges are prioritizing illegal alien criminals over victims of domestic violence. Think on that.

And think on this

Catholic Charities has helped drive illegal aliens to come to the US. They’ve coached them on how to do it, and taken a ton of taxpayer money to do this. They’ve been accused of human trafficking, and losing an unknown amount of unaccompanied minors. I wonder if the FBI will be looking into whether the judge has monetarily benefited from this.

Could Trump End “Greenwashing” And Force Warmists To Practice What They Preach?

By William Teach April 25, 2025 – 3:00 pm

This is one of the most interesting, realistic articles from the climate cult I’ve see, though it verges on TDS, because it is actually introspective

Could Trump Accidentally End Greenwashing?

Following the election of President Donald Trump, U.S. multinationals wasted little time in purging mentions of the climate from their websites. Breakthrough Energy, a joint venture between Bill Gates and a handful of other climate-conscious billionaires, recently laid off a significant portion of its staff. Some $4 billion in U.S. pledges for the U.N. Climate Fund has been rescinded. The response to all of this has been virtually unanimous: Trump is bad—very bad, in fact—for the climate. To be sure, the second Trump administration has already rolled back a number of significant environmental regulations, increased logging in national forests, ramped up oil and gas production, and made sweeping cuts to the EPA.

But love him or loathe him, Trump is not the only problem. He is a symptom of voter frustration and disillusionment. We must accept that for years, global multilateral climate policy has been marked more by talking the talk than walking the walk. Indeed, you could be forgiven for growing slightly cynical of the big pledges, glossy roadmaps, endless subsidy schemes, and constant climate conferences.

To paraphrase Glenn Reynolds, “I’ll believe it is a crisis when the people who tell me it’s a crisis act like it’s a crisis by changing their own lives to match their doomy beliefs.” I won’t delve more into the practice what you preach stuff, I’ve done it quite enough over the years.

Whatever Trump believes personally about the climate crisis, he could unintentionally be part of the solution to it, as a force of Schumpeterian “creative destruction”. His election may have sounded the death knell for performative, feel-good, socially acceptable climate policies and created an opportunity for pragmatic, climate-conscious people to design something much more effective at both the domestic and the global levels. Such an approach could entail less greenwashing and less bureaucracy and a much greater emphasis on results. It could entail more independent control of companies’ actual impact. For instance, we can appeal to companies’ self-interest to use new technologies that accurately measure emissions. The new approach to climate policy can, and should be: What here, in this market, with these tools, would deliver the fastest, biggest, cheapest gains?

Time Magazine’s Antoine Rostand was almost there, but, he missed the part where the Warmists need to change their own behaviors. Missed it by that much.

Truly smart regulation could include something like a methane speeding ticket slapped on those who are spewing the gas too freely into the atmosphere and have the financial means and moral obligation to eliminate externalities. If Trump blocks progress domestically, other major trading partners (like the EU, Korea, an Japan) could impose climate-friendly trade rules, like carbon border adjustments or import standards. That could nudge the U.S. market to comply indirectly, even under the current administration.

And Rostand is right back to government control. Sigh.

Ex-Judge Who Sheltered Illegal Alien TDA Member Arrested

By William Teach April 25, 2025 – 10:30 am

There needs to be more of this, people being arrested and charged when they break federal immigration laws

Ex-New Mexico judge, wife arrested for allegedly harboring illegal Tren de Aragua member

Former Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, were taken into custody Thursday after federal agents raided their Las Cruces home.

The two face charges of evidence tampering amid allegations they harbored Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, an alleged illegal alien who is also believed to be a member of Venezuela’s notorious Tren de Aragua gang.?

The arrest follows a February incident where Ortega-Lopez was apprehended at the Cano residence. Court documents reveal that he was initially hired by Nancy Cano for home repairs and later offered accommodation in the couple’s guesthouse.

The wife of a federal judge so breezily hiring an illegal alien, but, then, this is what Democrats think illegals are for: basic manual labor.

Investigators uncovered evidence linking Ortega-Lopez to the Tren de Aragua gang, including gang-related clothing, tattoos, voicemails and text messages.

According to court documents, he unlawfully entered the U.S. on Dec. 15, 2023, by crossing the border near Eagle Pass, Texas, without inspection or authorization.

And, under the Biden-Harris regime no bothered to check the gang tattoos, they just let him in

Judge Cano resigned from his judicial position in March and on Tuesday, the New Mexico Supreme Court issued a ruling permanently barring him from holding any judicial office in the state.

“The people of New Mexico are tired of a system where the powerful don’t play by their own rules,” Amy Barela, Chairwoman of the Republican Party of New Mexico, said to the Las Cruces Sun-News. “We demand real accountability for Judge Cano’s connection to a gang-affiliated criminal and full transparency on how our judiciary is being held to the same laws as the rest of us. Enough is enough.”

But, here’s a problem

(KFOX) KFOX14/CBS4 were on the scene Thursday afternoon when the home of former Dona Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement executed a search warrant and a probable cause arrest warrant, and both were taken into custody.

A spokesperson for ICE confirmed they were both taken into custody as part of an ongoing investigation led by Homeland Security Investigations.

Cano was charged with tampering with evidence, while Nancy was charged with conspiracy to tamper.

I certainly hope more charges are coming, particularly for harboring and sheltering an illegal alien. If the feds aren’t going to charge for 8 U.S.C. § 1324, which could also include conspiracy, then why have the law? Prosecuting the ex-judge and his wife for this would set a serious precedent and put others who do the same on notice.

Here’s something interesting

(Newsweek) Jason Stevens, HSI’s special agent in charge for El Paso, said in a statement: “Initially we came back here to arrest his wife and as we started obviously conducting our interviews and started looking at evidence, we subsequently arrested Mr. Cano as well.”

That’s not good for the Democratic judge. Can’t wait till another Democratic judge decides to dismiss the whole thing

“Study” Finds Blame For ‘Climate Change’ To The Tune Of $28 Trillion

By William Teach April 25, 2025 – 7:25 am

This is totally not about scamming some money, right?

The world’s biggest companies have caused $28 trillion in climate damage, a new study estimates

The world’s biggest corporations have caused $28 trillion in climate damage, a new study estimates as part of an effort to make it easier for people and governments to hold companies financially accountable, like the tobacco giants have been.

A Dartmouth College research team came up with the estimated pollution caused by 111 companies, with more than half of the total dollar figure coming from 10 fossil fuel providers: Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, Chevron, ExxonMobil, BP, Shell, National Iranian Oil Co., Pemex, Coal India and the British Coal Corporation.

For comparison, $28 trillion is a shade less than the sum of all goods and services produced in the United States last year.

At the top of the list, Saudi Aramco and Gazprom have each caused a bit more than $2 trillion in heat damage over the decades, the team calculated in a study published in Wednesday’s journal Nature. The researchers figured that every 1% of greenhouse gas put into the atmosphere since 1990 has caused $502 billion in damage from heat alone, which doesn’t include the costs incurred by other extreme weather such as hurricanes, droughts and floods.

“Estimated.” In other words, they’re pretty much making it all up, running it through their computer models, and assigning Blame.

People talk about making polluters pay, and sometimes even take them to court or pass laws meant to rein them in.

The study is an attempt to determine “the causal linkages that underlie many of these theories of accountability,” said its lead author, Christopher Callahan, who did the work at Dartmouth but is now an Earth systems scientist at Stanford University. The research firm Zero Carbon Analytics counts 68 lawsuits filed globally about climate change damage, with more than half of them in the United States.

So cultists trying reinforce cult dogma about making Other People pay. Weirdly, the “study” fails to blame all the Warmists who use fossil fuels themselves. And refuse to give them up themselves. What’s the damage for all the use of fossil fuels to travel to all the UN climate conferences? But, it is funny how it always comes down to taking Other People’s money. (and bigger government and authoritarianism.)

Uh Oh: Trump Is Going After Act Blue

By William Teach April 25, 2025 – 7:00 am

This is going to create some serious heartburn amongst the Democrats. At least til they find a friendly judge who does not care about the law or the Constitution or separation of powers

Trump targets Democratic fundraising organization ActBlue

President Donald Trump targeted Democratic fundraising group ActBlue and other online fundraising platforms with a presidential memorandum on Thursday that the White House said was aimed at cracking down on illegal foreign contributions in U.S. elections.

The memo, which Trump signed Thursday afternoon, directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate and “take appropriate action concerning allegations regarding the use of online fundraising platforms to make ‘straw’ or ‘dummy’ contributions and to make foreign contributions to U.S. political candidates and committees, all of which break the law,” according to a White House statement.

The memo directs Bondi to report the results of the probe to Trump. It cites a congressional investigation that “revealed significant fraud schemes using ActBlue” as well as a 30-day period during the 2024 election in which donations from foreign IP addresses using prepaid cards were detected.

ActBlue, which says it has raised billions of dollars online since 2004, called the move an attack on democracy.

“Today’s escalation by the White House is blatantly unlawful and needs to be seen for what it is: Donald Trump’s latest front in his campaign to stamp out all political, electoral and ideological opposition,” the organization said. “ActBlue will immediately pursue all legal avenues to protect and defend itself.”

So, it’s illegal to investigate groups credibly accused of taking foreign campaign donations? It’s against Democracy! to investigate fraud and money laundering? To make sure those taking money and spreading it around with zero accountability? Well, of course we know that a Democrat appointed federal judge in California or Oregon or some Blue state will say “no, you may not follow existing laws passed by a duly elected Legislative Branch and signed into law by the duly elected President!”

The Supreme Court just needs to shorten their rulings and work at least 50 hours a week for the next couple of years. They can all have a week off in, maybe, September and for Christmas. Because the insane rulings are exactly what the Court was created for. There is zero reason to block an investigation into financial impropriety, especially as it applies to elections. I wonder how much money will be found that was shifted from appropriations from federal agencies that was supposed to go to aid instead?

Pentagon Claims They Will Reinstitution Gender Nutball Care While Policy Is In Appeals

By William Teach April 24, 2025 – 5:06 pm

Who wants to bet that the Pentagon will slow walk any medical procedures for the nutballs that joined the military for the military to pay for it, rather than joining to protect the US?

Pentagon to resume medical care for transgender troops

The Pentagon will resume gender-affirming care for transgender service members, according to a memo obtained by POLITICO, an embarrassing setback to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s efforts to restrict their participation.

The memo says the Defense Department is returning to the Biden-era medical policy for transgender service members due to a court order that struck down Hegseth’s restrictions as unconstitutional. The administration is appealing the move, but a federal appeals court in California denied the department’s effort to halt the policy while its challenge is pending.

As a result, the administration is barred from removing transgender service members or restricting their medical care, a priority of President Donald Trump and Hegseth. The administration insisted its restrictions were geared toward people experiencing medical challenges related to “gender dysphoria,” but two federal judges said in March that the policy was a thinly veiled ban on transgender people that violated the Constitution.

I can almost understand requiring the military to hire the gender confused, but, remember, the military restricts people like gang members, including white supremacists like the Aryan Nation, from joining. And, if the nuts join, they should have to be in the dorms of their biological sex. But, when it comes to medical procedures, there is no constitutional provision requiring this. Does the military pay for tattoos for the 18 year olds who joined? Or for tattoo removal for 19 year olds to remove the name of the stripper they married then divorced?

The Trump administration on Thursday asked the Supreme Court to allow the Pentagon to ban transgender servicemembers while legal battles continue to play out.

Both judges ordered the military to refrain from forcing out more than 1,000 transgender troops and to resume providing for their medical care, including surgical procedures and voice and hormone therapy. The memo is the latest move by the Pentagon to comply with those orders.

Yeah, well, you know that they’ll make sure the wackjob procedures will be scheduled a couple years out. Why are they allowed, when these elective medical procedures interfere with the nutters performing their military duties? Seriously, the world is laughing at us. What other military in the world is spending money and time on converting their men to women or visa-versa?

DNC Big Mad At David Hogg For Wanting To Primary Democrats

By William Teach April 24, 2025 – 10:30 am

Far be it for me to defend David Hogg, who’s a massive gun grabber, a hardcore Progressive (nice Fascist), and rather wacko. But, primarying elected officials would be part of Democracy! per Democrats, wouldn’t it? Being able to speak your mind while working for an entity even when the entity wants you to stay quiet is part of Democracy! per Democrats, wouldn’t it? But, David is talking about something that scares Democrat Elites, so, they’ll simply change the rules. Because Democracy!

DNC gives David Hogg an ultimatum

The Democratic National Committee is going to force David Hogg to decide: Get out of the primary game or lose his DNC post.

During a member call on Thursday, DNC Chair Ken Martin is expected to announce a proposal to change the party’s rules to mandate all DNC officers stay neutral in all Democratic primaries, according to a person directly familiar with the plan and granted anonymity to describe private discussions. The move comes after Hogg pledged last week to spend millions of dollars funding challenges to “asleep-at-the-wheel” Democrats in primaries, igniting a firestorm inside the DNC.

The proposal, if passed at the DNC’s August meeting, would effectively force Hogg to decide whether to step away from his DNC vice chair position or wall himself off from the group he co-founded, Leaders We Deserve, which has pledged to spend $20 million on challenging Democratic incumbents in safe blue seats.

And that is the heart of the rub. Look at that article link in the excerpt

Leaders We Deserve, which Hogg co-founded in 2023, announced plans on Tuesday to spend $20 million in safe-blue Democratic primaries against sitting House members by supporting younger opponents. In an interview with POLITICO, Hogg said the group will not back primary challenges in battleground districts because “I want us to win the majority,” nor will it target members solely based on their age.

“We have a culture of seniority politics that has created a litmus test of who deserves to be here,” Hogg said. “We need people, regardless of their age, that are here to fight.”

David wants to go after those old foggies sitting in their easy “I don’t even have to campaign at all or talk to the peasants” seats to get primaried. Think Democrats like Nancy Pelosi. Think the ones who are over 60 who have been in their House and Senate seats for decades. What will David choose? Does he actually have that much influence amongst the younger Dem voters, the under 35 crowd? Are the Democrat insiders actually worried he and his group could accomplish this, or, are they just lashing out? Regardless, for whatever reason, the Elites are not happy when the youts, and any of the peasants, challenge them.

Waretown Man Charged With Arson For NJ Wildfire

By William Teach April 24, 2025 – 10:11 am

So, yeah, tons of Warmists were blaming the fire on ‘climate change’, forgetting this is the Pine Barrens, which are a fire risk even when it is wet

Here’s the Ocean County prosecutors office

Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Shawn M. LaTourette and Ocean Township Chief of Police Michal Rogalski announced that on April 23, 2025, Joseph Kling, 19, of Ocean Township (Waretown), was charged with Aggravated Arson and Arson in connection with a wildfire that started in Waretown on April 22, 2025, and continued to spread throughout the southern Ocean County area. (snip)

A thorough and extensive investigation conducted by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit-Arson Squad, New Jersey Forest Fire Service, Ocean County Fire Marshal’s Office, and New Jersey State Fire Marshal’s Office, plotted the origin of the fire via Global Positioning System (GPS). The cause of the fire was determined to be incendiary by an improperly extinguished bonfire.

Further investigation has revealed that Kling was the individual responsible for setting wooden pallets on fire – and then leaving the area without the fire being fully extinguished. Kling was taken into custody at Ocean Township (Waretown) Police Headquarters; he was thereafter transported to the Ocean County Jail, where he is presently lodged pending a detention hearing.

Sounds intentional. You don’t just light wooden pallets on fire and walk away unintentionally. I’d say 80% it was on purpose.

Fortunately, my parents were in no danger, and were able to be at home yesterday, with the intention to stay at a friend’s house on Long Beach Island, but, their power came back on late afternoon.
