Fort Pickett in Virginia has released its last Afghan evacuees, the Biden administration announced Wednesday, leaving just two military bases still housing people airlifted in August. All told, 68,000 evacuees have now been processed and set free into the U.S., and six bases that had been housing them have closed their camps.(Snip)The evacuees were given less security scrutiny than refugees but are being treated like refugees now that they’re here, with resettlement assistance from the federal government and from nearly 300 local organizations working to usher the Afghans into new communities. Things have been a bit rocky, with some of the Afghans struggling to integrate because they lack English

If we get the "buck stops here" type of benevolent dictator we need, each and every one of these will be found and deported to a place more suitable to their culture and primitive skill sets. FTA: "Initially, the evacuation was billed as a chance to help Afghans who assisted the U.S. war effort, but less than half of the 78,000 people airlifted out appear to fit that description."

Well Northern Virginia the fun now begins- schools crowded with non English speaking students, roads crowded with uninsured, unlicensed drivers, rapes committed by single male foreigners who can’t be tracked by police and the occasional terrorist attack. Thank you FJB.

Why weren't they released to a country near Afghanistan where they would feel more comfortable? In 2024 they should all be sent home, or near home. Move them out!

I'm assuming this Afghan has mastered some sort of skill or trade that would apply to a country in the 21st century and has also mastered the English language. If not, then what exactly is the benefit to our country by bringing these people here. We have enough people who were born in this country who are nothing but parasites. We don't have to import any more.

‘no-knock’ warrant for dangerous ex-con: sources

The NYPD was forced to pump the brakes on the arrest of a dangerous ex-con wanted in a Harlem stick-up—the same week that two police officers were killed—after the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office initially balked at cops’ request for a “no-knock” warrant, multiple law enforcement sources told The Post. Detectives were looking to nab Jaime Brown, who allegedly held up a bodega on Lenox Avenue with two handguns on Dec. 5—whipping out one of the pistols when he decided the store clerk was taking too long to fork over the cash, according to the sources.(Snip)“In my 39 years in the department,

For Hurricane Katrina survivors in the Lower Ninth Ward, it had seemed like a prayer answered: in 2006, Brad Pitt announced an initiative to rebuild New Orleans’ storm-ravaged Lower Ninth Ward with sustainable, flood-proof, affordable homes, designed by a list of A-list architects. The 109 homes on offer would give many survivors a chance to become first-time homeowners, and bring back a community devastated by the hurricane.(Snip)The houses now list a frightening array of defects: water intrusion, black mold, porches rotted through, stair rails collapsing, fires caused by electrical problems, plumbing problems and poor ventilation, according to a class-action lawsuit filed against Pitt

Poor service. Limited menus and inventories. Shorter hours of operation. The pandemic’s labor shortage has plagued restaurants, retailers and their customers, a new consumer survey from Premise, a global marketing data collector. And the near-term prognosis is none too cheery, says Wall Street trader Charles Mizrahi. “Shortage of labor is a temporary problem because demand is decreasing as the economy slows,” said Mr. Mizrahi, founder of Alpha Investor. “Businesses will soon not be worrying about too few employees, but having too few customers or sales.” Premise reported this week that 61% of U.S. consumers noted a decline in service quality at restaurants, 76% cited reduced hours of operations

Border Patrol agents found 14 illegal immigrants stuffed inside two portable toilets last week and arrested an American man who said he was being paid to smuggle them deeper into the U.S. Agents sniffed out the smuggling operation after receiving a report of a drone incursion near McAllen, Texas.

The truck refused to pull over at first but eventually yielded, and when agents approached, they said they saw shoes through a partially open toilet door.(Snip)Juan Eduardo Flores, charged as the driver of the truck, told agents he didn’t know how much

The federal government is warning travelers to avoid travel to Mexico due to the twin threats of COVID-19 and violent crime. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Mexico has reached a “very high level of COVID-19” so it is best to avoid going there. “If you must travel to Mexico, make sure you are vaccinated and up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines before travel,” the agency says on its website. But that’s not the only worry several weeks before spring break, according to USA Today, which highlighted a recent update from U.S. consular services.

According to recent court filings, Durham has gained access to a significant amount of FBI internal affairs files in his effort to uncover the Obama administration’s maneuvers to promote bogus allegations against Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election. Team Obama’s disingenuous investigation of the anti-Trump allegations, called Crossfire Hurricane, relied on the discredited Christopher Steele dossier, which was paid for by party activists.

Generally speaking, I am not a fan of polls. For one, I’ve never been polled by anyone. For another, the number of people being polled often strikes me as too small a sample from which to draw broad conclusions. Also, those samples more often than not tend to oversample one group, Democrats, let’s say, over another group, which again leads to questions of accuracy. Bottom line, I don’t trust ‘em and tend to ignore them in preference to the only poll that actually counts, the election itself. I’ve often asked myself, what would I do if I were to be contacted to participate in a poll.
