Episode 1107 – The WNBA Can’t Get Out of Their Own Way

The WNBA can’t seem to take the opportunity to be a legitimate sports league.

Pope Leo is being wishy-washy when it comes to bad behavior.

And Great Britain is running into a little problem they haven’t had to deal with since the 6th century. Gee, I wonder what changed.

These Guys Don’t Know How to Succeed

Here is Napheesha Collier calling out WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert:

A Great Non-Answer

According to Perplexity:

Catholic observers and organizations have voiced significant criticism of the Vatican and Pope Leo XIV after his comments defending the plan to honor Senator Dick Durbin—who is openly pro-abortion—with a Catholic “Lifetime Achievement Award” from the Archdiocese of Chicago. The controversy arose because Durbin, a longtime Catholic senator from Illinois, has a public record of supporting abortion rights, which is directly at odds with core Catholic teachings. Several Catholic bishops, including Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Durbin’s home diocese, labeled the proposed honor as a “great scandal” and “shock[ing]” to Catholic sensibilities, arguing that it causes confusion about the Church’s unwavering stance on the sanctity of life.

I Wonder Where That Is Coming From?

According to The Telegraph:

The NHS has been urged to apologise for publishing guidance extolling the benefits of first-cousin marriage despite the increased risk of birth defects.

Guidance published last week by the NHS England’s Genomics Education Programme says first-cousin marriage is linked to “stronger extended family support systems and economic advantages”.

But the practice has also been linked to oppression of women and also has a proven increased risk of genetic disease in offspring of first-cousin relationships.

Richard Holden, the Tory MP, told the Mail On Sunday: “Our NHS should stop taking the knee to damaging and oppressive cultural practices.

“The Conservatives want to see an end to cousin marriage as a backdoor to immigration too, but Labour are deaf to these sensible demands.

“Sir Keir Starmer should stop running scared of the misogynistic community controllers and their quislings who appear in the form of cultural relativist-obsessed sociology professors, and ban a practice the overwhelming majority, from every community in Britain, want to see ended for good.”

Marrying a first cousin is legal in the UK, but it increases the risk of children inheriting genetic conditions. Health issues such as sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis are more likely to be carried or contracted in children with parents who are closely related.

Cultures that encourage first-cousin marriage have also been accused of oppressing women and being used as a tool to suppress personal freedoms.

Dr Patrick Nash, an expert on religious law and director of the Pharos Foundation social science research group in Oxford, called the guidance “truly dismaying”.

“Cousin marriage is incest, plain and simple, and needs to be banned with the utmost urgency – there is no ‘balance’ to be struck between this cultural lifestyle choice and the severe public health implications it incurs.

“This official article is deeply misleading and should be retracted with an apology so that the public is not misled by omission and half-truths.”

The NHS guidance points out that the practice has been legal in the UK since the 1500s as a loophole for King Henry VIII to marry Catherine Howard, his ex-wife’s cousin.

According to Perplexity:

Great Britain is currently facing significant public debate and political controversy over cousin marriage, with particular focus on first-cousin unions. While these marriages remain legal in the UK, concerns about genetic risks, cultural sensitivities, and social implications have led to heated discussions and calls for policy change.

Current Legal Status and Controversy

Marrying a first cousin is not prohibited by UK law, a stance dating back to the 16th century and enshrined in the Marriage Act 1949. However, recent proposals—especially by Conservative MP Richard Holden—are pressuring for a ban, citing increased risks of genetic disorders such as thalassemia and cystic fibrosis among children born from first-cousin unions. Parliament is actively scrutinizing legislation to criminalize cousin marriages, though the ruling Labour government has stated it has “no plans” for a ban, preferring education and genetic counseling instead.

NHS Guidance and Public Backlash

The National Health Service (NHS) recently published guidance mentioning potential benefits of first-cousin marriage, such as stronger family support systems and economic advantages. This guidance was met with fierce backlash, leading to apologies and the removal of the guidance following criticism from politicians and the public, most of whom view cousin marriage negatively. Polls indicate 77% of Britons believe cousin marriage should be illegal.

Cultural Context and Health Concerns

Cousin marriage is more prevalent in some UK minority communities, especially among British Pakistanis, where it is a longstanding tradition. Opponents argue that banning cousin marriage would address health risks and social issues such as forced marriage, while proponents counter that education and voluntary screening are more effective and less discriminatory. Some geneticists stress that targeted measures, rather than blanket bans, could better address health concerns without stigmatising cultural practices.

Public Opinion and Political Debate

Recent studies and polling show strong public support for a ban across all major parties. However, the conversation includes questions of cultural autonomy, personal freedoms, and effective public health policy, making the issue deeply contentious and politically charged. Other European countries such as Norway and Sweden have recently enacted bans, increasing pressure on the UK to reconsider its laws.

In summary, Great Britain is experiencing a complex and divisive debate over cousin marriage, shaped by legal precedent, evolving social norms, medical risks, and strong public opposition.

These People Don’t Belong Here

According to the Daily Wire:

The illegal immigrant superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools in Iowa claimed to have six children with five different mothers on an immigration application, three of whom were born within a year of each other, sources told The Daily Wire.

Ian Andre Roberts of Guyana, who had a deportation order from May 2024, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement Friday, according to the agency.

Roberts previously tried to apply for immigration status after overstaying his student visa, which was issued in 1999, according to sources. The application, which listed his children and lovers, was later denied, according to sources.

Two of his children are 11 years old, while the others are 12, 18, 22 and 30, sources said, citing his immigration paperwork. The oldest child was born in Guyana, while the five others were born in the United States.

Following the arrest, ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations St. Paul Field Office Director Sam Olson questioned how Roberts was hired, given his lack of immigration status.

Episode 1103 – Adieu, Jimmy!

The Federal Reserve makes a big, but expected, move to shake the economy awake.

ICE is making great strides in cleaning our streets from illegal alien thugs. Let’s go over a few of them.

And free speech might be under attack from an unlikely source.

Maybe This Will Help

According to Fox Business:

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday announced the first interest rate cut of the year as policymakers lowered its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points, as signs of a weakening labor force outweighed elevated inflation.

Following the central bank’s decision to cut rates for the first time since December 2024, the federal funds rate will sit at a new range of 4% to 4.25%. The cut comes after the Fed left rates unchanged at its first five meetings this year amid economic uncertainty.

Policymakers have been monitoring economic data which has shown a slowdown in hiring as businesses grapple with shifts in trade and immigration policy, while inflation has remained elevated and trended higher in recent months as tariff-related price hikes filter through into inflation data. 

That dynamic has presented a challenge for policymakers in achieving both of the goals of the Fed’s dual mandate to promote maximum employment and stable prices in line with the Fed’s 2% inflation target.

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which guides the central bank’s monetary policy moves, noted in its announcement that job gains have slowed and the unemployment rate has risen but remains relatively low, while inflation has risen and remains somewhat elevated. The FOMC added that in monitoring both sides of the dual mandate that “downside risks to employment have risen.”

Dumbass Politicians

Addul Hammol, mayor of Dearborn, Michigan. The conflict is the city wanted to to name a street after a Muslim terrorist. Some of the non-Muslims had a bit of a problem with this.

Maybe They Were Looking for an Excuse

According to the New York Post:

Jimmy Kimmel is taking an involuntary hiatus.

ABC said it is pulling the comedian’s late-night talk show off the air “indefinitely” following his controversial comments about the killing of Charlie Kirk.

“Jimmy Kimmel Live will be pre-empted indefinitely,” an ABC spokesperson confirmed to The Post Wednesday, Sept. 17.

Kimmel, 57, faced backlash after he said Monday night that the “MAGA gang” was trying to score political points off Kirk’s murder after the conservative activist was shot dead on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, Sept. 10.

Of course, the media is flipping out just like they did when Stephen Colbert was fired. The media is calling it state-sponsored censorship because the FCC head, Brandon Carr, said that the comments of Jimmy Kimmel could land the network into hot water. Well, if the network decides to promote conspiracy theories and lies, yes it could.

Here is Brian Stelter on CNN whining about how comedians are being censored.

Van Jones also got into the act:

OK, let’s stop with everyone getting the vapors. There are a few things:

  • The show is tanking and has been for years.
  • What Kimmel said was bad, even slanderous. This could be what the network was afraid of.
  • Kimmel never apologized.
  • It is very possible this was an offramp to get rid of the show. Quite possibly, this was the last straw.
  • Nexstar (a subsidiary of Disney) did this on their own and never blamed the government or Trump.

This May Be the End of the Road

Trying to clarify her dumb remarks, she posted:

Hate speech that crosses the line into threats of violence is NOT protected by the First Amendment. It’s a crime. For far too long, we’ve watched the radical left normalize threats, call for assassinations, and cheer on political violence. That era is over.

Under 18 U.S.C. § 875(c), it is a federal crime to transmit “any communication containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to injure the person of another.” Likewise, 18 U.S.C. § 876 and 18 U.S.C. § 115 make it a felony to threaten public officials, members of Congress, or their families.

You cannot call for someone’s murder. You cannot swat a Member of Congress. You cannot dox a conservative family and think it will be brushed off as “free speech.” These acts are punishable crimes, and every single threat will be met with the full force of the law.

Free speech protects ideas, debate, even dissent but it does NOT and will NEVER protect violence.

It is clear this violent rhetoric is designed to silence others from voicing conservative ideals.

We will never be silenced. Not for our families, not for our freedoms, and never for Charlie. His legacy will not be erased by fear or intimidation.

A rock legend leaves this world. As a Gen Xer who loves rock, I have some thoughts.

Democrats can’t keep the reason why they really want illegal aliens in this country a secret. They keep telling us.

And President Trump keeps coming up with great ideas and he keeps winning.

Rest In Peace

Dumbass Politician

A Big Win!

According to the Post Millennial:

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday evening that a new trade agreement has been finalized between the United States and Japan, calling it “perhaps the largest Deal ever made.”

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Japan will invest $550 billion into the US economy and that the United States will receive 90% of the profits from the deal. The president says the agreement would generate “Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs” and significantly expand trade between the two countries.

“We just completed a massive Deal with Japan, perhaps the largest Deal ever made. Japan will invest, at my direction, $550 Billion Dollars into the United States, which will receive 90% of the Profits. This Deal will create Hundreds of Thousands of Jobs — There has never been anything like it. Perhaps most importantly, Japan will open their Country to Trade including Cars and Trucks, Rice and certain other Agricultural Products, and other things. Japan will pay Reciprocal Tariffs to the United States of 15%. This is a very exciting time for the United States of America, and especially for the fact that we will continue to always have a great relationship with the Country of Japan. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” the post reads.

Another Good Idea

According to the Post Millennial:

The United States will start requiring a $250 “visa integrity fee” when travelers come to the country and may be paid back when they leave under certain conditions. This comes as the Trump administration has been advancing the president’s agenda to enforce the nation’s border and crack down on illegal immigration.

The fee is part of the recently passed “One Big Beautiful Bill” that Trump signed into law on July 4. The fee may also be reimbursed for travelers who abide by their visa requirements. 

A provision of the bill stated, “In addition to any other fee authorized by law, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall require the payment of a fee, equal to the amount” of $250 or “such amount as the Secretary of Homeland Security may establish.”

Travelers may also get their fee back on condition that they comply with the visa conditions, such as “not accept[ing] unauthorized employment” and not overstaying their visa for more than five days.

The fee amount will remain at $250 through fiscal year 2025, however, the fee may be set higher by the DHS secretary. It will also be adjusted for inflation after the fiscal year.

The fee will apply to anyone visiting the US who needs nonimmigrant visas, such as those traveling for work, vacation, or students studying abroad. Some, however, may not need to pay the fee, if they are from certain countries such as Australia, Japan, and many nations in Europe, according to CNBC.

The fee is paid when a visa is issued, and it does not replace other visa fees already in place. The fee will be paid in addition to the “Form I-94 fee,” which has been raised from $6 to $24 by the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

Dumbass of the Day

Uh, No!

According to the Daily Wire:

A bipartisan bill known as the Dignity Act, co-sponsored by Republican and Democrat members of Congress, would grant legal status to millions of illegal aliens and shield them from deportation, sparking a debate over amnesty.

The legislation, introduced by Rep. Maria Salazar (R-FL) and Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX), would allow illegal aliens who have been in the U.S. for five years or more without a criminal record to apply for a seven-year legal status and work authorization. To qualify, they would be required to pay taxes and a total of $7,000 in fees over the seven-year period.

The bill provides a separate path for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. DACA recipients without a criminal record could obtain permanent legal status if they hold a job for four years, earn a degree, or serve in the military, effectively putting them on a pathway to citizenship. In a press conference, Salazar called on President Trump to support the legislation, stating, “If we get this wrong, future generations will pay the price in shame.”

The White House has signaled its opposition. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt suggested the administration views the bill as a form of amnesty, stating, “The President has made it very clear that he will not give amnesty for illegal aliens in any way.” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Morning Wire that while she had not read the bill, President Trump has directed her agency to “uphold federal law” and ensure that “illegal criminals in this country are not going to get priority over Americans.”

Meanwhile, reports indicate that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is in discussions with the White House to revive a more hardline immigration bill. That legislation, which passed the House in 2023, would mandate the use of E-Verify for employers and reduce legal immigration by restricting parole and asylum eligibility.

Please Sign This Bill, Gavin!

According to the Daily Wire:

California Governor Gavin Newsom recently struggled to say whether an eight-year-old was too young to undergo transgender procedures.

Newsom’s comments came during a conversation with podcaster Shawn Ryan, the governor’s latest appearance seemingly designed to make him seem more moderate in advance of a likely presidential bid in 2028.

But Newsom, who once said that California was a beacon of parental rights, may want to take a closer look at what his fellow Democrats are doing in the California Assembly.

Earlier this month, lawmakers advanced Assembly Bill 1084, which permits a court-appointed lawyer to assist children in changing the name and sex designation on their birth certificates and obtaining a new birth certificate that can designate them as “non-binary.” If the bill passes, court-appointed lawyers or guardians will be empowered to force these changes even if parents have retained custody of the child in question.

The bill essentially places children in positions of power. All that a child needs to do is make a claim of abuse, whether substantiated or not, against his parents, and he will be assigned an attorney who has been trained to accept a child’s gender identity pronouncement at face value.

Authored by Assemblyman Rick Zbur — who compared people fighting to protect women’s sports to Nazis — the bill is the latest brazen assault on parental rights, another attempt by leftists to replace parents with government agents.

The bill stipulates that, as long as a court rules it “is likely” that the child will remain a ward of the state until they turn 18, court-appointed lawyers have the authority to change the child’s sex and name, as well as their birth certificate. This grants parental rights to third parties, essentially stripping parents of legal control of their child.

In other words, the bill allows a stranger to enable someone else’s child’s desire to “socially transition,” a mental health treatment that is not a neutral act. Children affirmed in their transgender identity are more likely to continue rejecting their sexed bodies if they are confirmed in their delusion.

Parents can contest the petition, but the bill states that a challenge “based solely on concerns  that the proposed change is not the petitioner’s actual gender identity or gender assigned at birth shall not constitute good cause.” Simply, a parent who believes in biological reality and does not believe that the child he raised is the sex that he was at birth cannot contest the name and sex change on his birth certificate.

I’m Going to Say, “Nothing to See Here.”

According to the Daily Wire:

Paranormal investigator Dan Rivera, who’s been touring the United States with a supposedly haunted Raggedy Ann doll named Annabelle, died unexpectedly at a hotel, sparking a big reaction online.

Rivera, 54, was found dead in his room on Sunday at the end of his three-day stop in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, as part of his “Devils on the Run Tour” with the doll. 

Pennsylvania State Police shared a more detailed report on Wednesday.

“Members from PSP Gettysburg responded to a hotel in Straban Township, Adams County for a report of a deceased [man],” the report said. “The decedent was discovered in his hotel room by workers.

“Nothing unusual or suspicious was observed at the scene,” it added. “This case is pending autopsy results.”

The New England Society for Psychic Research (NESPR) described this particular doll as “demonically possessed.” It was given to a nursing student in 1968, and she claimed that something wasn’t right with it.

“Almost immediately, the roommates noticed strange occurrences with the doll and they were introduced to a medium who told them the doll was inhabited by the spirit of a young girl named Annabelle,” the organization reported. “The two roommates tried to accept the doll’s spirit and please it only to have it reciprocate maliciousness and violent intent.”

The society’s late founders, Ed and Lorraine Warren, kept the doll stored in a glass case in an effort to “contain the evil spirited entity.”

The movie “The Conjuring” is based on the story of the “haunted” doll Annabelle. Meanwhile, many people are skeptical of the claims that the doll is possessed.

The Violence Escalates

According to the New York Post:

An off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer was shot in the face after being robbed by a moped-riding illegal immigrant in a New York City park on Saturday — but he shot back and wounded his attacker, according to sources.

The suspect has been identified as Miguel Francisco Mora Nunez, a 21-year-old Dominican national with a lengthy rap sheet in New York according to sources — but he was let go each time he was busted, despite having a deportation order. 

Mora entered the US illegally via the southern border under the Biden admin, the Department of Homeland Security said Sunday.

The 42-year-old federal agent and a female companion were sitting on a rock along the Hudson River in Fort Washington Park in Manhattan when they were ambushed by the two men on a moped around 11:50 p.m., according to police sources.

After a brief exchange and tussle, one of the moped-riding men fired a gun and hit the victim in the face and left forearm.

The agent then drew his own pistol and fired multiple shots at the perps, hitting the suspect.

Mora was struck and wounded three times by the return gunfire, sources said.

Harrowing video released by DHS caught one suspect hopping off the moped and approaching the CBP officer before firing shots at him — then reeling back after the officer returned fire. The suspects eventually fled on the moped, the video showed.

We Won’t Get Fooled Again!

According to the Post Millennial:

An illegal immigrant from Mexico has been charged with faking her own “kidnapping” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to generate donations. LA Mayor Karen Bass also promoted the claims. 

According to a DOJ press release on the case, Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, 41, who has been living in South Los Angeles, has been charged with conspiracy as well as making false statements to federal officers. If convicted of the charges, she can face up to five years in prison.

The charges come after local outlet in California, KTLA, ran a report in June with the headline “LA mother says she was taken to US border, being held until she self-deports,” in which the outlet reported that “loved ones and attorneys” said that a “mother and community leader” was “kidnapped” by ICE “bounty hunters” and was being held at a warehouse.

LA Mayor Karen Bass on July 1 touted Calderon’s tall tale of being “kidnapped” in a post to X. “She’s a mother from L.A. — taken out of her car on her way to work, and then held in a warehouse as officers hoped she would “self-deport.” No hearing. Just fear. This doesn’t make anyone safer,” Bass wrote, citing KTLA’s report.

A press conference and protest were held at the time the claims were made, and images of the gathering were spread across different news outlets.

At the time, DHS responded to the story, saying that it was “clearly fabricated.” Fox News reported that the criminal complaint against Calderon said that she and others “planned a hoax kidnapping” to benefit themselves, “including their own pecuniary gain.” A GoFundMe page was set up by Calderon’s daughter, who managed to raise $4,500 and claimed that her mother was “taken by masked men in an unmarked vehicle.”

After the daughter filed a missing person report, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) determined that Calderon was not in ICE custody and launched its own investigation into the matter, only to find out that “kidnapping” did not add up.

The affidavit added, “when confronted with true information that contradicted their kidnapping story,” Calderon and others “attempted to thwart law enforcement efforts” to find out where she was.

HSI Los Angeles Special Agent in Charge Eddy Wang slammed the scheme, saying, “My office invested valuable time and resources working this alleged kidnapping investigation only to discover that it was a hoax.”

“Diverting critical law enforcement resources is not only reckless and irresponsible, but it also endangers the community,” Wang added. “The real cost of a fraud like this is the amount of fentanyl not seized, child predators not removed from the communities and human trafficking victims not rescued because law enforcement redirected resources to recover the defendant. We want to assure the public that allegations of criminal activity will be thoroughly investigated by HSI and our law enforcement partners and that those who engage in fraud and deception will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

This Is Going to be a Slam Dunk Case

According to the L.A. Times:

California’s high-speed rail authority sued the Trump administration Thursday over its cancellation of billions of dollars in federal funding.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California by state Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta, comes one day after the Federal Railroad Administration pulled $4 billion from the project that was intended for construction in the Central Valley. The suit seeks declaratory and injunctive relief and challenges the legality of the decision.

The lawsuit calls the administration’s actions “arbitrary and capricious, an abuse of discretion, and contrary to law, and threatens to wreak significant economic damage on the Central Valley, the State, and the Nation.” It names Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and acting FRA Administrator Drew Feeley as defendants and details President Trump’s “personal animus” toward the project and long-standing criticism of it. Trump previously pulled funding from the train during his first term.

The suit calls the president’s past statements over the project’s budget as untrue. The project is about $100 billion over budget from its original proposal of $33 billion. Trump previously said it was “hundreds of billions of dollars” more.

“Trump’s termination of federal grants for California high-speed rail reeks of politics.” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement Thursday. “It’s yet another political stunt to punish California. In reality, this is just a heartless attack on the Central Valley that will put real jobs and livelihoods on the line. We’re suing to stop Trump from derailing America’s only high-speed rail actively under construction.”

The fast train to connect San Francisco to Los Angeles was originally expected to be completed in 2020. But while the entire route was environmentally cleared last year, no portion of the line has been finished and construction has been underway only in the Central Valley. The Trump administration initiated a compliance review in February after Republican lawmakers called for an investigation into the project and demanded that it be defunded.

Some things:

  • 2008: California voters approved Proposition 1A, authorizing funds and plans for the state’s high-speed rail (HSR) system, originally targeting completion in 2018.
    • The initial vision set a price tag of $33 billion for a full system linking San Francisco and Los Angeles in under three hours.
  • 2015: Construction started on the Central Valley segment, running from Merced to Bakersfield—a stretch intended as the project’s Initial Operating Segment (IOS).
  • 2024: Substantial completion of one of the major construction packages in the Central Valley, while right-of-way acquisition for the Merced and Bakersfield extensions advances.
  • 2030-2033: The Merced to Bakersfield portion will be complete (about 164 miles).
  • The rest of Phase 1 (San Francisco-Anaheim, ~494 miles) does not have a fully funded or fixed completion date. Tentative goals are set for environmental clearance, design, and gradual construction of other sections, such as Gilroy-Palmdale, with possible completion by 2045—dependent on funding and private investment.
  • Phase 2 would eventually extend service north to Sacramento and south to San Diego, but there is currently no timeline for these extensions.

Some math:

  • It will take 18 years to complete 164 miles for Phase 1. That’s 33% of Phase 1.
  • With that pace, it would take 54 years to complete the 494 miles of Phase 1.
    • I will not even go into the price tag. I would need quantum computing to figure that one out.
  • Phase 1 would take 72 years to complete!
  • It’s about 514 miles from San Diego to Sacramento which is Phase 2. That’s another 56 years.
    • Forget about the cost.
  • Phase 1 and 2 would take 128 years to complete!
  • Phase 3 is suppose to be from the Mexican border to San Francisco. I’m just going to say that’s not going to happen.

Maybe California is not getting that $4 billion.

What is worse for California, they are going to have to explain why they are so far behind and where did that $133 billion go.

Episode 1092 – The Threat is Real and Growing!

I need to create a new segment. We are going to try it out today!

Mexico wants to make some money off the death of one of their citizens illegally in the country. Let’s talk about why that’s not going to work.

And the insurgency by radical Islam is growing and we are doing nothing about it.

Jasmine Crockett’s Quote of the Day!

A couple of things.

  • Not a fan of gerrymandering.
  • Majority minority and it is a solid red state?
  • She wants to run for Senate.
  • Democrats did the same thing in New York and California.

This Ain’t Going Anywhere

According to ABC7 News:

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum on Tuesday said her administration was considering the possibility of filing a legal complaint over the death of a migrant who fell to his death during an immigration raid at a cannabis farm in Camarillo.

Jaime Alanís Garcia was hospitalized and later died after falling off a roof during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid in Camarillo.

Garcia was not in custody. He was on top of a roof of a greenhouse and fell while he was trying to get away from ICE.

“Jaime was not just a farmworker, he was a provider, and a human being who deserved dignity. His death is not an isolated tragedy. It is the result of a targeted raid at Glass House Farms. Workers were met not with protection, but with chaos and fear. Some were detained. Others were traumatized. Jaime lost his life,” the family posted on social media.

There were a few reasons for the raid:

  • The entire farm was run by illegal aliens.
  • It was a pot farm which is illegal federally and illegal in Mexico.
  • Roman Izquierdo (Mexico): Convictions for kidnapping, attempted rape, and attempted child molestation; previously deported in 2006
  • Juan Duarte-Velasquez (Mexico): Convicted of rape and DUI
  • Jose Orellana (El Salvador): Convicted of DUI and hit-and-run
  • Adriana Gonzalez-Gonzalez (Mexico): Convicted three times for burglary and DUI
  • 361 illegal aliens were arrested.
  • 14 under age children illegally in this country were arrested and probably trafficked. 10 of the children were unaccompanied.

Federal agents clashed with protesters during the immigration raid at the farm in Ventura County, one of at least two large-scale raids in Southern California on July 10.

Garcia’s family said he fell about 30 feet off a building while he was possibly trying to run from federal agents. Garcia suffered a broken neck and skull.

“We are supporting the family, we are in contact with them, and we’re also exploring the possibility of filing a complaint (in the U.S.) because this is unacceptable,” Sheinbaum said at a Tuesday press conference. “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently reviewing the matter. It is very unfortunate that this happened. All our solidarity and support go to the family, and there must not be another case like this one. That’s why the complaint must be filed in the courts over there.”

We should probably file a complaint about those people being in the country in the first place.

The Department of Homeland Security said he was not being pursued by law enforcement when he fell.

“This man was not in and has not been in CBP or ICE custody. Although he was not being pursued by law enforcement, this individual climbed up to the roof of a green house and fell 30 feet,” said DHS Public Affairs Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “CBP immediately called a medivac to the scene to get him care as quickly as possible.”

Since June 6, 435 people have been repatriated from the U.S. to Mexico. Between Jan. 20 and July 14, 1,427 people have been deported to Mexico “specifically due to raids,” Sheinbaum said.

Including all repatriations to Mexico during that period, the total is 75,341 people: 68,790 Mexican nationals and 6,551 foreigners.

Racism Is Alive and Well

This is the fourth time she has been called out for racial statements. She once got called out by a black man.

It just shows how casually anti-white racism is used by the Left and CNN supports it.

White people are not suppose to call this out because we are not allowed. Why? We’re racist if we don’t acknowledge the pain of the other races because slavery was legal 140 years ago.

The problem the Left has is we are getting over the white guilt.

He Should Be Happy He’s Still Alive

According to Reduxx:

A trans-identified male serving 40 years for a brutal 2013 murder is suing the Kentucky Department of Corrections over a new law banning public funding for cross-sex hormones and surgeries. Matthew Smith, who now goes by the name Maddilyn Marcum, was convicted of stabbing Eric Schreiber 72 times and slitting his throat.

The class-action lawsuit was filed July 14 by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Kentucky and, in addition to Smith, represents 67 other transgender inmates who will no longer receive hormones or surgeries on the public dime following the passage of a bill prohibiting taxpayer funds from being used for “gender-affirming care.”

Senate Bill 2 (SB-2), which was signed into law at the end of March, relegates medical “gender” interventions to “cosmetic service or elective procedure[s].”

The bill defines unnecessary interventions as “any procedure, treatment, or surgery to enhance or alter the appearance of any area of the head, neck, and body, including… [p]rescribing or administering cross-sex hormones in amounts greater than would normally be produced endogenously in a healthy person of the same age and sex.”

SB-2 further states that “public funds shall not be directly or indirectly used, granted, paid, or distributed for the purpose of providing a cosmetic or elective procedure to an inmate in a correctional facility.” The law came into effect on June 27 this year.

Representing the 68 convicted criminals, the ACLU argues that “reducing, terminating, or withholding HRT care violates the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.” The Eighth Amendment bars “cruel and unusual punishment” of incarcerated inmates, while the Fourteenth Amendment – instituted to address the treatment of those who were formerly enslaved – prevents states from infringing on citizens’ privileges without due process.

According to the complaint, Smith was given a diagnosis of gender dysphoria in 2009, at which point he began taking “estrogen and anti-androgens to feminize the body” in the four years leading up to the crime for which he is incarcerated. The ACLU refers to gender dysphoria as a “serious medical condition,” citing Standards of Care created by the controversial activist group the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).

They Just Can’t Help Themselves

According to Grok:

The X post by Libs of TikTok highlights a concerning incident involving Zayn Edward Arcand, a 19-year-old from Iron Mountain, Michigan, who was arrested for allegedly attempting to burn down the Dickinson County Republican Committee headquarters with a Molotov cocktail.

This act of violence is part of a broader pattern of political extremism, as Arcand admitted to the act as a message against perceived corruption, reflecting a dangerous intersection of personal identity and political ideology.

Arcand’s self-identification as “genderfluid, polyamorous sometimes female” underscores a complex personal identity that has been thrust into the public eye due to the criminal act. This incident raises questions about the mental health and stability of individuals who engage in such extreme behaviors, especially when their personal identities are publicly scrutinized.

The event occurred on July 12, 2025, and has been met with strong condemnation from political figures, such as Michigan Republican Party Chair Jim Runestad, who labeled Arcand as “a liberal Antifa scumbag.”

This reaction points to a polarized political climate where acts of violence are quickly attributed to broader ideological conflicts, potentially overshadowing the individual’s mental health issues. The incident also aligns with broader discussions on the rise of political violence and the need for mental health interventions, as evidenced by increasing concerns about violence against marginalized communities, such as the transgender community in Pakistan, reported around the same time.

Episode 1090 – If You Don’t Like It, Stop Doing It!

Tariffs are finally hitting the economy. What will be the next step by the Trump administration.

Gavin Newsom keeps telling us that illegal aliens are the backbone of the Californian economy. I argue that is the primary reason California needs to deport illegal aliens.

And Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, feels real bad for illegal aliens too afraid to go to work in her city. That’s means there’s going to be a tax hike.

News

Here is some news:

  • The Trump Administration has stated that illegal aliens will no longer be able to bond out by a judge.
  • The Supreme Court ruled that Trump can proceed to gut the Department of Education.
    • This comes after Linda McMahon fired half the people in the department.
    • Completely shutting down the department may require congressional approval.
  • Donald Trump announced an arms deal where Ukraine will get weapons purchased from the United States by NATO.
    • NATO will foot the bill.
    • NATO is thrilled by the deal.
    • Trump has also put more tariffs on Russia and has threatened tighter sanctions.
  • The inflation rate has jumped to 2.7%
    • This was expected.
    • A lot of this has to do with the tariffs.
    • It is a good thing that the Fed did not lower interest rates.

He Doesn’t Get It

In summary:

  • Direct state government debt: about $158 billion
  • Combined state and local government long-term debt: over $510 billion
  • Total debt including all unfunded obligations: about $1.6 trillion

California also faces significant annual budget deficits, with projections of a $12 billion–$70 billion shortfall for the 2024–25 fiscal year.

Based on the most recent and reputable estimates, California spends between $22.8 billion and $30.9 billion annually on benefits and services for undocumented immigrants (often referred to as “illegal aliens”). The costs include health care, education, public assistance, and law enforcement:

  • Health Care: California’s expansion of Medi-Cal to cover undocumented immigrants is projected to cost over $8.4 billion per year for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
  • Education: Education is historically the largest cost driver. Earlier detailed breakdowns estimate that K-12 education for children of undocumented immigrants and related services (like English language instruction) reaches $12.3 billion per year.
  • Law Enforcement and Justice: Costs for policing, incarceration, and courts attributable to undocumented immigrants are over $4.4 billion annually.
  • Other Services: Additional expenses include public assistance programs and general government services, adding over $2 billion more.

It Just Gets Better:

According to L.A. Times:

Mayor Karen Bass announced a plan Friday to provide direct cash assistance to people who have been affected by the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration raids.

The aid will be distributed using cash cards with a “couple hundred” dollars on them, which should be available in about a week, Bass said at a news conference.

“You have people who don’t want to leave their homes, who are not going to work, and they are in need of cash,” she said.

Bass spoke about a family she met who needed two incomes to afford their rent. After one of the breadwinners was detained in an immigration raid, she said, the family is concerned they may face eviction.

It was not immediately clear what the qualifications will be needed to receive the cards.

The mayor emphasized that the money will not come from city coffers but from philanthropic partners. The cards will be distributed by immigrants rights groups such as the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles.

The city will coordinate between philanthropists and organizations distributing the cards, according to the mayor’s office.

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-07-11/l-a-will-provide-cash-assistance-to-immigrants

What? Again?

According to Fox News:

A federal judge in Los Angeles late Friday issued a sweeping temporary restraining order (TRO) against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), ruling that the agency likely violated constitutional protections through its immigration enforcement practices in California.

In a 53-page order issued Friday, U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, a Biden appointee, barred ICE from conducting detentive stops in the Central District of California unless agents have “reasonable suspicion” that a person is in the country unlawfully. 

Frimpong’s ruling explicitly prohibits ICE from relying solely on race or ethnicity, speaking Spanish or English with an accent, location, or type of work when forming suspicion, citing the Fourth Amendment.

The order also requires ICE to keep and turn over detailed records of each stop and agents’ reasoning for them, develop official guidance for determining “reasonable suspicion,” and implement mandatory training for agents.

A couple of things:

  • This judge is overstepping her bounds. She can’t tell law enforcement how to practice their craft.
  • This is a blanket TRO. If there is evidence of wrong-doing of an individual, fine. But you can’t just say no to it all.
  • The Supreme Court has ruled on this when it came to stop and frisk.

This Is How to End Illegal Immigration

According to the New York Post:

The Trump administration moved Thursday to block illegal immigrants from accessing taxpayer-funded aid to enroll in educational programs and receive health care benefits.

The departments of Education, Agriculture, Labor, Justice and Health and Human Services made separate announcements Thursday, touting savings of around $40 billion.

HHS called the change a “significant policy shift” that will “ensure that taxpayer-funded program benefits intended for the American people are not diverted to subsidize illegal aliens.”

“Under President Trump’s leadership, hardworking American taxpayers will no longer foot the bill for illegal aliens to participate in our career, technical, or adult education programs or activities,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon also said in a statement. 

“The Department will ensure that taxpayer funds are reserved for citizens and individuals who have entered our country through legal means who meet federal eligibility criteria.”

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced that states should also be preventing migrants from accessing benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Episode 1089 – Are Democrats Defending Child Slave Labor?

The Los Angeles Times and the media have made fools of themselves once again. This time, they seem to be lying to protect slavery and child exploitation.

Let’s see what they are saying.

Time to Defend Slave Labor

According to the L.A. Times:

The crowd outside Glass House Farms in Camarillo in the wake of Thursday’s chaotic immigration sweep was a strange mix.

There were vocal protesters hurling insults and sometimes water bottles at federal agents, and there were anxious friends and family of those who work at Glass House, a huge cannabis operation. Then there were curious bystanders like Mike Elliott, a Camarillo resident who voted for President Trump and stopped to see what was happening, saying he wanted to bear witness. Also on hand was Oxnard native Christina Muñoz, who said she brought her 2-year-old son, 5-month-old daughter and her mom in hopes of getting a glimpse of her husband, a member of the National Guard whom she hadn’t seen in 30 days.

Federal agents raided two Glass House Farms sites on Thursday, said Maria Navarro, an Oxnard policy advocate for the Central Coast Alliance United for a Sustainable Economy (CAUSE). The organization was alerted at 10:20 a.m. that sweeps were happening at both California locations of the company, in Carpinteria and Camarillo.

She hurried to the Camarillo site, where she came upon a tense scene, with protesters gathering and family members of workers trying to pick up their loved ones. But federal agents had already closed off access to the worksite. More and more people arrived, and Navarro said activists were trying to prevent trucks full of detainees from leaving.

At the east entrance to the Camarillo facility, amid lush fields of blooming bush beans, the action started about 10 a.m. when federal agents entered the facility. Protesters and worried family began arriving soon afterward, and by 2:30 p.m., a line of about 30 agents, including National Guard members, was barricading nearby Laguna Road.

The growing crowd was kept at least a quarter of a mile away from the facility. Protesters said that some people among the crowd had been detained. Jonathan Caravello, a philosophy professor at Cal State Channel Islands, was arrested, according to activist Angelmarie Taylor, who said she was one of his students and had accompanied him to the protest.

Taylor claimed Caravello was arrested as he tried to help a man in a wheelchair when agents were pushing the crowd to move back.

She said he and another individual “were piled on by multiple agents all at once” before being taken behind a line of agents to where several vehicles stood, “and we have no idea now where they are.”

As the sweep was underway, 24-year-old Cesar Ortiz spoke to a Times photographer outside Glass House Farms.

He said he had a brother inside the facility who had only begun working there a week ago.

“They are taking everyone and the truth is it’s not right because these people come to work, struggle every day, to earn for bread every day.

“There are no narcos here,” he said, “no one is armed here and they come fully armed, full of military personnel.”

Ortiz said he had been in communication with his brother, who he feared would be deported. He said authorities had his brother in a container. People “are [choking] in there with the air, without air-conditioned air.”

He also had a message for Trump: “We all have a right to come here and work. Here, we all have a dream, we have to give it our all.”

Marc Cohodes, an investor and famed short-seller who has invested in Glass House, called the raid “beyond outrageous.” He added that Glass House is “the largest cannabis cultivator in the world” and “a highly regulated business fully licensed by the state of California. It’s run by a guy named Kyle Kazan, who is an ex-cop who plays by the rules and does things by the book.” Kazan, he added, is also a supporter of Trump.

Glass House Farms posted a statement on X on Thursday saying that the company had been “visited today by ICE officials” and “fully complied with agent search warrants.” The statement said nothing else, except to add that the company would “provide further updates if necessary.”

Ambulances were seen going in and out of the Camarillo facility, and Cohodes said as many as 14 people were injured in the action and taken to hospitals.

As the protest heated up, some members of the crowd shouted obscenities at agents. When gas canisters were fired, a few hurled water bottles before running away from the fumes. One woman on a megaphone pleaded with the officers to leave their posts and join the protesters so they could be on the right side of history.

But off to the side, Ricardo Mojica, a tall, silver-haired grandfather, quietly tried to talk to agents to find out what was happening with his son, who worked inside.

Mojica said his 31-year-old son “has no criminal records, he has never been arrested and was born just six miles from here at St. John’s Hospital. He’s the father of my granddaughter, and I haven’t heard anything from him since this morning.”

Mojica pointed to one of the Border Patrol guards and said, ‘He told me my son was being detained, but then his partner told him not to talk to me. I just want to know why he’s being held.”

Around 4:30 p.m. Oxnard native Christina Muñoz held her 2-year-old son on her hip as she strained to catch a glimpse of her husband, Christopher, a National Guardsman who she heard had been deployed that day from Los Angeles to the factory raid. Her mother stood nearby holding Christina’s infant daughter.

“I haven’t seen him for 30 days,” Muñoz said, “and I was hoping I could see him here.”

She and her children have been staying with her family in Oxnard since her husband was deployed.

“We thought it would be for just a few days,” she said, “but we didn’t see him for Father’s Day or the Fourth of July. We had no idea it would last this long.”

“He’s needed at home,” Muñoz’s mother said, as she bounced the baby in her arms. “His family needs him.”

Off to the side of the protesters, David Elliott stood watching the scene with a beer in one hand and a small six-pack cooler in the other.

“I’m out of beer,” he joked. The Camarillo resident said he had been heading for the beach, “but I got caught up in all the traffic and I thought, ‘You know what? I’m going to hang out here and see what happens.’”

Elliott said he supports law enforcement and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and he voted for Donald Trump to be president, but he doesn’t like what’s happening now with the immigration sweeps.

“I voted for Trump because he said he was going to go after the bad guys, and I know they’re there, but I don’t like what they’re doing now …. going after people at Home Depot or farmworkers in the fields.

“These are hardworking people — my gardener and his crew started working for my parents 20 years ago and now they work for me, and they’re illegal; they’re not bad people, they’re like family, and a lot of us depend on the work they do.

“I voted for Trump to clean out the bad guys first and then start working on a system to get the farmworkers and gardeners, but there’s got to be a better way. There should be a way to integrate them into our system because they work harder than anyone I know.”

There were a few things left out of this article:

  • Pot is still federally illegal.
  • Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed on X that 319 unlawful immigrants were apprehended during the raid at Glass House Farms.
  • Law enforcement rescued 14 children from potential forced labor, exploitation, and trafficking.
  • 8 of the children were unaccompanied. This means they were probably trafficked.
  • One man (Roman Izquierda) taken into custody has a history of violent crime, including attempted child exploitation including a 7 year sentence for kidnapping & attempted rape, w/ a prior conviction for attempted child molestation. 
  • Another illegal alien (Juan Duarte-Velasquez) was wanted for DUI and Rape.
  • Jose Orellana was convicted of felonet DUI and Hit-and-run.
  • Adriana Gonzalez-Gonzalez was convicted three times for burglary and DUI.
  • Glass House Farms is under investigation for possible child labor law violations. 
  • The company’s co-founder, president and board director, Graham Farrar, donated $10,000 to California Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2018, among other Democratic politicians. He has also donated to Republicans, and shown support for Republicans who expressed support for liberalizing cannabis laws. 
  • The protestors threw rocks and bottles at ICE vehicles as they were leaving.
  • On individual is wanted for shooting a gun at ICE agents. There is a $50,000 reward for information leading to his capture.
  • Agents claim that Jonathan Caravello was arrested for allegedly throwing a tear gas canister at law enforcement officers

An irate Trump took to his Truth Social platform to blast the protesters, and authorize ICE to take whatever precautions are necessary to protect themselves during future raids. 

“I am on my way back from Texas, and watched in disbelief as THUGS were violently throwing rocks and bricks at ICE Officers while they were moving down a roadway in their car and/or official vehicle,” he said.

Trump continued with a social media post:

“Tremendous damage was done to these brand new vehicles. I know for a fact that these Officers are having a hard time with allowing this to happen in that it shows such total disrespect for LAW AND ORDER.

“I am giving Total Authorization for ICE to protect itself, just like they protect the Public,” he wrote. “I never want to see a car carrying a Law Enforcement Officer attacked again! AUTHORIZATION IMMEDIATELY GRANTED FOR ARREST AND INCARCERATION. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Reactions

The reporter is Abby Phillips.

No. 10 of the 14 children were unaccompanied. Parental permission is required.

Also, children as young as 12 years old can work on a farm outside of school hours. It doesn’t look like this was happening.

Episode 1087 – Way to Crash Your Movie Before It Comes Out

I got some huge news about a deportation of a famous Mexican this week. The shock with my family shook our Independence Day. Then I found out why.

Donald Trump is ending one of the dumbest policies at the airport.

And the Supreme Court continues to put a muzzle on these damn district court judges.

Monster News

According to the Daily Wire:

The Trump administration is moving to end the requirement that passengers remove their shoes when going through airport security, according to multiple reports.

The much-hated shoe removal mandate, which has been in place since 2006, is being gradually phased out in the coming weeks, according to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents who have told multiple news outlets. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the news on Tuesday morning. 

The phase-out began at Baltimore/Washington International Airport, Fort Lauderdale International Airport, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Portland International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport, and Piedmont Triad International Airport in North Carolina, CBS News reported.

Another Big Win

According to the Daily Wire:

The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way on Tuesday for President Donald Trump to resume his plans to cut the federal workforce and restructure agencies, a key promise he made on the campaign trail to hack away at the size of the federal government.

The justices lifted San Francisco-based U.S. District Judge Susan Illston’s May 22 order that had blocked large-scale federal layoffs called “reductions in force” affecting potentially hundreds of thousands of jobs, while litigation in the case proceeds.

Trump in February announced “a critical transformation of the federal bureaucracy” in an executive order directing agencies to prepare for a government overhaul aimed at significantly reducing the federal workforce and gutting offices and programs opposed by the administration.

Workforce reductions were planned at the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Health and Human Services, State, Treasury, Veterans Affairs, and more than a dozen other agencies.

Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the sole member of the nine-person court to publicly dissent from the decision. Jackson wrote that Illston’s “temporary, practical, harm-reducing preservation of the status quo was no match for this court’s demonstrated enthusiasm for greenlighting this president’s legally dubious actions in an emergency posture.”

This Will Kill DEI

According to the Daily Wire:

The trial is underway for a professor who sued the University of California, Los Angeles, over his suspension after he refused to grade black students more leniently in the wake of George Floyd’s highly publicized death.

Gordon Klein, an accounting professor at UCLA, is demanding $22 million in damages in a trial that began last week in Santa Monica.

Back in June 2020, just weeks after George Floyd’s death, Klein received an email from a group of his students asking for a “no-harm” final exam that could only help their grades and would involve shorter tests and extended deadlines for final assignments and projects.

The students asked for special accommodations due to “traumas, we have been placed in a position where we much (sic) choose between actively supporting our black classmates or focusing on finishing up our spring quarter,” as The Daily Wire reported at the time.

“We believe that remaining neutral in times of injustice brings power to the oppressor and therefore staying silent is not an option,” the students told Klein.

The students claimed their request was not “a joint effort to get finals canceled for non-black students,” but rather to “ask that you exercise compassion and leniency with black students in our major.”

Klein responded with several sarcastic emails that got him in trouble with the school.

“Thanks for your suggestion in your email below that I give black students special treatment, given the tragedy in Minnesota,” Klein wrote to the students.

“Do you know the names of the classmates that are black?” the professor asked. “How can I identify them since we’ve been having online classes only?”

Klein also asked about students who “may be of mixed parentage, such as half black-half Asian?”

“What do you suggest I do with respect to them? A full concession or just half?” he quipped.

Klein also wrote that “a white student from [Minneapolis] might be possibly even more devastated by this, especially because some might think that they’re racist even if they are not.”

The professor ended his email response to the complaining students with Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous quote about not judging people based on the color of their skin.

Students screenshotted Klein’s email and posted it to social media, where it sparked angry responses.

Klein was suspended and criticized by UCLA in June 2020 before being reinstated in September 2020, according to the Daily Bruin.

“Conduct that demonstrates a disregard for our core principles, including an abuse of power, is not acceptable,” wrote Anderson School Dean Antonio Bernardo in a message to the campus community. “I deeply regret the increased pain and anger that our community has experienced at this very difficult time. We must and will hold each other to higher standards.”

Dumbass of the Day

Superman was not an immigrant. He left Krypton after a natural disaster. He has no home planet or country. He is a refuge.

Also, the saying, “Truth, justice, and the American way” has been replaced by Hollywood (even in Gunn’s own movie).

  • “Truth, Justice, and a Better Tomorrow”: In 2021, DC Comics officially updated Superman’s motto to this phrase, signaling a move toward a more universal message.
  • “Truth, Justice, and the Human Way”: For the 2025 James Gunn-directed Superman film, merchandise and promotional materials have revealed yet another update, replacing “the American way” with “the human way.” This version emphasizes Superman’s role as a hero for all humanity, rather than just an American icon.

Episode 1073 – Are We Seeing the Death Knell of Pride?

The Los Angeles Riots have expanded to other Left wing cities. And people are dying.

Another politically motivated murder happened this weekend. Hmm, which side did it come from.

And Major League Baseball has not learned its lesson when it comes to Pride Month.

News

Here is some news:

  • The Los Angeles riots continue, but appear to be slowing down as police start making arrests.
    • There still is a lot of looting going on.
    • The curfew initiated by Karen Bass (who is still blaming Trump and calling it a “peaceful protest”) is still in effect, but it is not deterring anything even as arrests continue to rise.
    • U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have been ordered to broaden the “single largest Mass Deportation Operation” in U.S. history, targeting “crime-ridden and dangerous” areas in large Democrat-led cities, President Donald Trump declared on Sunday.
  • The man accused of killing Minnesota House Democrat leader Melissa Hortman and her husband within the Twin Cities metropolitan area has been taken into custody, authorities said on Sunday evening.
    • A high-ranking state official told the Star Tribune that the suspect, identified as Vance Boelter (57), was apprehended in Sibley County. Police have since confirmed the development, much to the relief of people across Minnesota and the country.
    • Boelter, 57, has been charged with two counts of second degree murder and two counts of second degree attempted murder, according to a complaint reportedly unsealed after the arrest.
    • Officials said he left anti-Trump “No Kings” protest flyers in his vehicle and had a “manifesto” naming dozens of lawmakers and abortion providers.
  • The Iran/Israel war continues:
    • The Iranians have attacked Israel. about 22 of 200 missiles have hit Israel. 13-14 have been killed, dozens have been injured.
    • Iran has cutoff the Internet.
    • Elon Muck’s Starlink has been enabled for Internet access to the Iranian people who are helping Israel.
    • Israel wanted to kill the Ayatollah Khomeini, but Donald Trump convinced him not to.
    • The Mossad set up bases within Iran to launch drone strikes from within the country.
    • Iran has no air support and their missile sites have been leveled.
    • Donald Trump has threatened Iran with massive destruction if they attack any American bases.
  • As far as the United States joining the war against Iran, President Trump has twice left that on the table.

What an Embarrassment

New York Mets Display Pride Flag During National Anthem

What Happened

On June 14, 2025, during a home game at Citi Field against the Tampa Bay Rays, the New York Mets displayed the Pride flag on their big screen during the playing of the U.S. national anthem. This display took place on Flag Day and during Pride Month, a period when many Major League Baseball (MLB) teams hold events and show support for the LGBTQ+ community124.

Public Reaction

The Mets’ decision to show the Pride flag instead of the American flag during the anthem drew significant backlash from some fans and commentators. Many expressed anger on social media, with calls for boycotting the Mets and MLB over what they described as a “disgusting” or “divisive” act1356. Some fans felt the move was disrespectful to the tradition of displaying the American flag during the national anthem, especially on Flag Day156.

Conversely, there were also voices supporting the Mets’ participation in Pride Month and emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and representation at sporting events2.

Context

MLB teams, including the Mets, often host Pride-themed events in June, featuring Pride logos, flags, and other symbols to show support for the LGBTQ+ community. Such initiatives have become more common in recent years, though they continue to generate debate among fans12.

Mets lost the game 7-5.

And…They Lost

According to the Daily Wire:

Longtime Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw added a subtle change to his Pride Night cap, printing “GEN 9:12-16” next to the rainbow-colored team logo.

Leading Report (@leadingreport) shared the news via X along with a photo of Kershaw’s cap and the text of the verses the pitcher was referencing — verses that reference God’s promise to Noah, when He sent the rainbow as a sign that He would never again destroy the earth with a flood.

“BREAKING: Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw wrote ‘Genesis 9:12-16′ on his ‘pride’ hat. 12 And God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: 13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.’ Genesis 9:12-16 ESV,” the post read.

Kershaw, a Christian, also spoke out in 2023 when the team planned to honor the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence — a group of “queer and trans nuns” who combine drag and religious imagery — by announcing the team’s faith and family night early.

I would have used Deuteronomy 22:5 – The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

Or how about Leviticus 18:22 –  “‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.

By the way, Leviticus has a lot of good crap in it that people should learn from.

Anyway, Dodgers lost the game, 6-2.

The only team not celebrating Pride Night? The Texas Rangers.

Actually, It Was Pretty Good

It was the 250th birthday of the United States Army. Donald Trump decided to throw a military parade. I wasn’t thrilled with this idea for the same reasons Dems weren’t. But, actually, it was pretty good. It was educational and inspiring.

  • The parade went through the history of the U.S. Army from the Revolutionary War to modern times.
  • Each section of the parade showed the uniforms, weapons, and vehicles of the era.
  • During the presentation, a narrator explained the conflict of that era, what was happening in the United States, the weapons used and the vehicles used and why they were used. Soldiers marched in the uniforms of the time.
  • Each group that passed, Donald Trump stood up and saluted the soldiers.
  • At the end of the parade, Donald Trump swore in a few dozen soldiers who were entering the Army or were re-enlisting.

It was completely the opposite of what one would think a military parade would be. It was a pep rally. People were happy, the mood was electric. Even MSNBC had to admit it was an uplifting event and not dark and dystopian:

We need more of this. I cannot wait to see what Trump is going to do next year when the United States turns 250 years old. He is the perfect guy to have as President.

Episode 1071 – No, California is NOT Part of Mexico!

The riots continue throughout the country. California has even tried to flex its muscle, but its not working.

A new narrative by rioters and Mexico is coming out. It is that Mexico owns California. These people need to learn a book or just listen to this podcast because we are going to talk about it.

And Greta Thunberg’s little drama has played out and ended. What an embarrassment.

Dumbasses of the Day

History of California

  • California was home to numerous Native American tribes and bands for an estimated 13,000 to 15,000 years before European arrival. Over 100 distinct groups, such as the Karok, Maidu, Cahuilleno, Mojave, Yokuts, Pomo, Paiute, and Modoc, lived throughout the region.
    • There was no technology.
    • The tribes were small and relatively peaceful.
    • Disease was a problem. Studies have found the populations were declining.
  • The first European explorer to reach California was Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo in 1542, who explored San Diego Bay. English explorer Francis Drake visited Northern California in 1579. However, these early visits had little immediate impact.
  • Permanent European interest began in the late 18th century. The Spanish established a chain of 21 missions along the California coast, beginning with Mission San Diego de Alcalá in 1769. These missions were intended to convert Native Americans to Christianity and integrate them into Spanish society. Military forts (presidios) and small towns (pueblos) were also built, with some pueblos eventually growing into cities like Los Angeles and San Jose.
  • Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821, and California became part of the Mexican Empire. The Mexican government secularized the missions, redistributing lands to Mexican citizens and well-connected immigrants, not to Native Americans.
  • Starting in the 1840s, American settlers began arriving in California via overland routes such as the infamous Donner Party in 1846. Tensions rose between American settlers and the Mexican government.
    • Before you start screaming about colonization, remember:
      • Mexico allowed immigrants in.
      • Mexico alienated the Indians through colonization and land grabs.
    • This caused a rift between the United States and Mexico.
  • Bear Flag Revolt: In June 1846, American settlers in Sonoma declared an independent California Republic, marking the start of the Bear Flag Revolt.
  • Mexican-American War: The United States declared war on Mexico in 1846. After minor skirmishes, California was occupied by U.S. forces. The war ended in 1848 with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which ceded California and much of the American Southwest to the United States.
  • Then, the United States paid Mexico for the countries after the war:
    • According to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed on February 2, 1848, the United States agreed to pay Mexico $15 million “in consideration of the extension acquired by the boundaries of the United States”—that is, for the land ceded to the U.S., which included present-day California, Nevada, Utah, most of Arizona, western parts of New Mexico and Colorado, and a portion of Wyoming.
    • $15 million in 1848 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $607.2 million in 2025, adjusting for inflation.
    • Additionally, the U.S. government assumed responsibility for paying up to $3.25 million in claims that American citizens had against Mexico.

It’s All Theater

According to Fox News:

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg was deported from Israel after the country’s naval forces detained her Gaza-bound flotilla, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.

The ministry said Tuesday that Thunberg was on a flight headed back to Sweden via France. 

“Greta Thunberg just departed Israel on a flight to Sweden (via France),” the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted on X.

Thunberg and three other activists were transported to Ben Gurion Airport to be deported, while eight others — including a member of the European Parliament — refused to sign deportation paperwork, according to the Times of Israel.

The 22-year-old climate activist reportedly told her attorneys that she could do “more good outside of Israel” and that refusing to leave would “harm” her cause, the Times of Israel reported, citing Adalah, an Israeli organization.

Thunberg famously avoids air travel as part of her climate activism, making this flight out of Israel an anomaly for her.

The Israeli navy intercepted the flotilla, named the Madleen, early on Monday. Thunberg posted a video amid the chaos saying that she had been “kidnapped” by Israel, a comment which drew heavy scrutiny, as some pointed out the plight of the hostages who have been held in Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023.
