cap after Democratic eruption

The White House Friday reversed course on refugee admissions, after an earlier announcement maintaining a controversial Trump-era refugee cap was met with disdain by Democrats and immigration activists. Following a day of blowback from Democrats, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced Biden would set a new, higher ceiling in May after initially saying it would keep the current 15,000 limit. The initial decision had led to widespread complaints from Democratic lawmakers and groups representing refugees, who had already been urging Biden to lift the ceiling put in place by former President Trump. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who came to the United States as a refugee, called it "shameful."

Like it makes any difference given the deluge coming over the southern border. I think 60000 came in from Mexico last week alone. (For libterds -- that was sarcasm, no need to fact check.)

Well you have to remember that the leftist Democrats consider today’s mostly poor and uneducated “refugees” from around the world, along with other immigrants and illegal aliens to be a huge future leftist Democrat voting constituency, to keep the leftist Democrats in permanent political power, and to be a future voting force to transform the USA into some sort of socialist utopia. It has to be that way, as if the leftist Democrats ever thought that a big majority of refugees, other immigrants, and illegal aliens would become a conservative Republican voting constituency, the borders who be locked tighter than a drum, and there would be massive Democrat run sweeps to deport and remove every illegal alien from the USA.

Another example of how easy it is to roll Biden. The Squad is a minor issue compared to how Moscow and Beijing assess how easy it would be to steamroll Old Joe.

A militarily mighty nation like ours cannot be vanquished by violence so any invasion must appear to be a peaceful flood of pitiful hapless unfortunates. This is war by another means. If we are to save our nation we must stop the invaders using lethal force if necessary, hand out dire sentences to everyone in the country illegally if they do not leave and punish employers, politicians, law enforcement and members of the Left who aided their invasion in any way. The words of the Declaration of Independence capture the corruption, greed and arrogance of American leadership today and the remedy to redress the wrongs visited on citizens is right there. The path is laid out. Now we need a leader of unusual courage and intelligence. Where is he?

#6, THAT imperfect leader has been defeated by a communistic political party. using lies and fraud to unseat him. The result is that American citizens who oppose the communists are marginalized in favor of hordes crossing the border illegaly but without penalty, such is the need for votes by the Commucrats. There is no heroic rider coming, riding a white horse. We get ourselves out of this Titanic Mess created intentionally by the Cummucrats or America falls.

Tomorrow Biden could simply throw open the borders and invite the entire world into the USA and nothing could be done about that as the leftist Democrats who control the Congress are not going to impeach and remove Biden from office; and the leftist Democrats have intimidated the Supreme Court to the point that if the Supreme Court does not follow leftist Democrat dogma with their rulings that the Democrats in Congress could well start impeaching and removing the Republican nominated Justices from the court. Clearly the Democrat plan is to flood the USA with foreigners through all means available to them, through both illegal and legal immigration, legalize millions of illegal aliens, and eventually register the vast majority of them as future leftist Democrat voters, in numbers great enough to permanently change the voter demographics of enough places in the USA to keep the leftist Democrats in permanent political power.

That directly conflicts with Joe's statement that he didn't invite any of them to cross the border. Now he's raising the cap on uninvited guests? But hey, he's senile so whatever he says today is an original thought. All imported third worlders, legal or not, are the cause of most of our country's crime for the past forty years or so, with the ones from Africa and the Middle East being at the top of the list. Mexico and China supply the drugs and the street gangs fight and kill each other over it.

A series of internal documents responding to a municipal internet censorship authority reveals that information related to the Chinese Military-Civil Fusion (MCF) strategy was removed from a local bureaus’ official websites in June 2018, only months after a trade war had broken out with the United States. The Epoch Times recently obtained documents from a trusted source issued by various departments in Anshan City of northern Liaoning province reveals the requirement to remove information about MCF on departments’ websites and from official accounts on social media platforms. However, the MCF strategy is a national-level strategy that the head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has emphasized.

Rep.

Rep Mullin smartly uses the example of federal officers who have been attacked, assaulted and injured by Antifa and BLM, yet the FBI does nothing to investigate or prosecute these violent extremists. Mullin even quoted Wray back to himself when the FBI Director said: “Antifa is not a national organization”, a quote Director Wray now stunningly denies. First, WATCH:

President Joe Biden announced this week that he was pulling all remaining American troops out of Afghanistan by September 11 — and the media rushed to frame the decision positively. They are technically correct — it makes zero sense to continue to put American lives at risk and spend taxpayer dollars on a decades-long ‘war’ with no foreseeable end nor desire to ‘win’. But as you can guess, when former president Donald Trump announced he would withdraw troops from Afghanistan just last year, the media hysterically warned that he was emboldening the Taliban and making America less safe. ‘Trump administration to cut troop levels in Afghanistan despite Pentagon warnings,’ the Washington

Wars often arise from uncertainty. When strong powers appear weak, truly weaker ones take risks they otherwise would not. Sloppy braggadocio and serial promises of restraint alternatively trigger wars, too. Empty tough talk can needlessly egg on aggressors. But mouthing utopian bromides convinces bullies that their targets are too sophisticated to counter aggression.(Snip)Every new American president is usually tested to determine whether the United States can still protect friends like Japan, Europe, South Korea, Israel, and Taiwan. And will the new commander-in-chief deter America’s enemies Iran and North Korea—and keep China and Russia from absorbing their neighbors?

A group of Democrats on Thursday unveiled their bill to expand the Supreme Court, but party leaders showed little support and Republicans assailed the proposal as radical. The “Judiciary Act of 2021” would add four seats to the nation’s top court, effectively flipping the balance from 6–3 in favor of conservative-appointed justices to 7–6 in the opposite direction. The rationale fueling the proposal is that Republicans confirmed Justice Amy Coney Barrett after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died last year. The GOP broke no rules or laws, but some Democrats were bitter that they did not hold the seat open for whoever won the 2020 election.

And again, the variants will play a key role,” he said. “We need to see what would be the sequence, and for how often we need to do that, that remains to be seen.”

There was a prolonged ammunition shortage during the Obama administration. I got through that one because a Power Line reader lined me up with a dealer in West Virginia who seemed to have an endless supply of 9 mm. and .22LR rounds. Over the last year, another ammo shortage has struck, caused in part by an influx of new gun buyers who are responding to rising crime rates, attacks on law enforcement, and the election of Joe Biden. As with most shortages, it has been accentuated by hoarding: whenever a shooter saw boxes of a popular caliber on the shelves, he would buy them all. For quite a while
