DHS eases screening for some refugees
to save time

Homeland Security has ditched an interview requirement for spouses and children of refugees who want to come to the U.S. as a package deal, saying it was taking too long to complete the cases without much benefit from the extra work. The move is the latest deletion of a Trump-era security policy. The Biden team said requiring interviews was “inconsistent” with President Biden’s executive orders calling for a more inclusive immigration system. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the government’s legal immigration agency, said it can still do interviews on a case-by-case basis, but only when “there is a need to do so.”

Comments:

Come on, man. DHS is overworked and underpaid and besides, USA needs more radically Diverse residents who on average cost taxpayers some $133,000 over the course of their lifetimes. All provided they're relocated no closer than 120 miles of where our Grand Overlords live, because cultural enrichment is for us, not them.

Eases screening huh? Given what they already don't do, to make it easier on them, they would have to send continuous bus caravans down to the Mexico / Guatamala border, pick any and all up, no questions asked, and ship them directly to conservative leaning states and cities directly, and sign them up for welfare and Democrat Voting Registrations along the way..

If they are spouses or young children of the Special Visa holders who helped the US, sure, speed things up but don't skip stuff. Everyone else, NO! They either got here by pure luck or snuck across the border and should go through the same long gruesome vetting process that those who wish to come here LEGALLY must go through. In fact, the LEGAL immigrants should be processed first and the illegals or refugees should be pushed back to the end of the line.

So now tell me why we need any DHS or any immigration employees at all. We can do away with all those immigration hearing judges, too, hardly anyone reports to them anyway, and also eliminate Social Security numbers, since everyone on US soil is eligible for benefits anyway. Maybe birth certificates are obsolete as well, since "migrants" don't need them, we don't either, so why go to that expense? Why process green cards, they will be just as obsolete? If people can just walk over the border, why can't they just drive or fly over as well? How far can this all go?

D.C. Public Schools is preparing to cancel its founder and the city’s first mayor as it moves to rename an elementary school on Capitol Hill. Brent Elementary School in Southeast—named for Robert Brent, who essentially created the city’s government from scratch in the early 1800s—is among a handful of schools in the renaming engagement process, which aims to erase the names of slave owners and segregationists from school buildings in the 2023-24 academic year. Born into a prominent Catholic family in the Maryland Colony, Brent served 10 years as mayor of Washington City. He created the public school system, the fire department and the police force

President Joe Biden issued a stark warning about the risks the Omicron variant poses to the unvaccinated in particular, as the nation braces for a steep escalation in cases amid an expected surge in hospitalizations. 'It's here, it's spreading and it's going to increase,' Biden cautioned in remarks Wednesday afternoon. With the highly transmissible new variant spreading at an alarming rate, amid an ongoing surge in the Delta variant, Biden warned of the trauma facing Americans who have not received covid vaccines.

A new study out of Columbia University says the Omicron variant is “markedly resistant” to vaccines and boosters might not do much to help, spelling bad news for the country as Omicron spreads and COVID-19 cases rise nationally. “A striking feature of this variant is the large number of spike mutations that pose a threat to the efficacy of current COVID-19 vaccines and antibody therapies,” according to the study authored by more than 20 scientists at Columbia and the University of Hong Kong.(Snip)The scientists express concern in the study published Wednesday that the variant’s “extensive” mutations can “greatly compromise” the vaccine, even neutralizing it.

Almost 90% of U.S. voters are concerned about the wave of violent crime spreading across the country, according to a new survey by a nonpartisan group. Rasmussen Reports released the survey on Wednesday that shows 89% of likely voters are concerned about violent crime, including more than half (69%) of whom are “very” concerned. The statistics are up from July when 79% said they were concerned, including 49% who were very concerned.

Sniffles, headaches, and tiredness appear to be the hallmarks of Omicron, according to a major study that suggests the mutant virus is more akin to a cold than Covid.

Approximately 168,000 of the 800,000 U.S. COVID-19 deaths could have been prevented by the Covid vaccines, a new analysis finds. The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) analyzed Covid death data in the U.S., and found that tens-of-thousands of deaths over the past six months could have been prevented if people had gotten vaccinated. They used the death rate among fully vaccinated people—who do occasionally die from the virus despite the overall rarity—and calculated how many unvaccinated people would have lived if they had received the jab. September and October were especially brutal, with a combined 92,800 deaths deemed preventable.

Instead of picking Best, Adams chose Nassau County Chief of Detective Keechant Sewell, whose selection was exclusively revealed Tuesday by The Post.(Snip)Sources have said that Adams is considering appointing controversial ex-cop Philip Banks

Full disclosure: I despise Steven Spielberg movies and dislike both Romeo and Juliet and the 1961 West Side Story (WSS) movie. For that reason, I take particular delight in noting that Steven Spielberg's remake of WSS may have enthralled critics, but no one is rushing to see it. And no wonder, given that it's so darn woke that parts of it are in a language most Americans don't speak, but Spielberg refused to include subtitles. Let me quickly get through my biases. I hate Steven Spielberg movies because I find them overblown, predictable, and incredibly boring. I also dislike the way he presents children.

A recent survey finds that 67% of vaccinated Americans believe the unvaccinated should pay a “COVID tax” to cover businesses’ pandemic safety expenses, but most business owners and the unvaccinated themselves don’t believe in such fees. Skynova, an invoicing software for small businesses, conducted the digital survey of 1,075 Americans.
