Arrival of Over 33,000 Migrants Leaves
Ireland ‘Struggling’ to Find Doctors
Posted By: Ribicon, 5/30/2022 11:29:09 AM
A recent surge of migrants in Ireland has left authorities in the country struggling to find doctors to treat new arrivals. Doctors are now the latest resource to be in short supply within the Irish state, with senior officials now admitting that they are “struggling” to find medical professionals to treat some of the tens of thousands of migrants who have arrived in the country this year.(Snip)Despite this, there doesn’t seem to be any sign of politicians hitting the brakes on the project, with new data showing that over 33,000 social security numbers have been given out to migrants ostensibly coming from Ukraine as of May 22.

The Black Lives Matters national group has a new executive to deal with its financial scandal: a woman who’s bungled her own finances.
Cicley Gay, 44, a non-profit advisor and flack named chair of Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation in April, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2005, 2013 and 2016, federal court records show.
Her most recent filing, from August 2016, showed Gay had more than $120,000 in debts, including owing $55,000 in student loans—from her time studying at Liberty University in Virginia and the University of Kansas—and more than $18,000 for leasing a Lincoln MKZ sedan.
She also claimed to have $7,000 in medical expenses
As baby formula shortage worsens, Biden

As Americans across the US struggle to find infant formula, President Biden claimed Wednesday he was unaware of the problem until early April—months after the closure of a Michigan factory triggered the crisis. Biden made the stunning admission following a virtual meeting with major formula manufacturers on the same day the Wall Street Journal, citing research firm IRI, reported that 23% of powdered baby formula was out of stock during the week ending May 22, compared with a 21% out-of-stock rate during the previous week. The normal out-of-stock range prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the outlet, was between 5% and 7%.
The U.S. has added more than 2 million immigrants to its population since President Biden took office in 2021, the vast majority of them here illegally, according to a new report Wednesday that says most of the newcomers are arriving illegally. The surge is so overwhelming that it’s pushed up the projected point at which the U.S. will have its largest-ever share of immigrants, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. At the current pace of growth, 14.9% of residents will be immigrants as of sometime next year, topping the record set around the turn of the 20th century. That’s half a decade earlier than the Census Bureau’s last calculation,
A teacher did not, as previously stated, leave a door propped open with a rock during the massacre at Robb elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, last week, but closed it before the attacks began–only for the door to not automatically lock, Texas state investigators said. The gunman used the door to get inside, where he killed 19 students and two teachers.
The finding, released by Texas department of public safety on Tuesday, contradicts an earlier account in which they said a teacher had propped the door open shortly before Salvador Ramos, 18, entered the building.(Snip)“We did verify she closed the door. The door did not lock.
Coney Island, Brooklyn—At least five people opened fire on a Brooklyn street on Sunday, police said Wednesday. Two groups each of four people approached each other along Mermaid Avenue near West 25th Street at around 5:30 p.m., according to officials. At least five people pulled out guns and opened fire, discharging around 36 rounds, video of the incident showed. The shooting damaged property in the area, authorities said. One group fled along West 25th Street, while the other headed eastbound on Mermaid Avenue. No injuries in connection to the shooting were reported. Police sought help in finding the suspects.
A hateful attacker hurled anti-Asian statements at a man on a Brooklyn train before biting and scratching him, authorities said.
The victim, a 65-year-old man, was riding a southbound A train running on the F line near York Street around 5:20 p.m. Sunday when a woman began to curse and use anti-Asian language, cops said.
Then she bit the man on the back and scratched his arms, authorities said. The victim was taken to Interfaith Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition.(Snip)Another Asian man, 20, was stabbed at the same station during a dispute with a stranger on a moving train

Identity for Pride Month 2022: ‘LGBTQI+
Rights Are Human Rights’ 15 replies
President Joe Biden celebrated the beginning of “Pride Month” on Wednesday, adding a new initial to the Pride acronym in recognition of “Intersex” as an additional gender identity. “We reaffirm that LGBTQI+ rights are human rights,” Biden wrote in a statement on Twitter. “And we recommit to delivering protections, safety, and equality so everyone can realize the full promise of America.” The president’s statement included an additional “I” to the Pride acronym to represent “Intersex,” even though the White House only celebrated LGBTQ+ the previous year.(Snip)Biden reaffirmed his support for not just lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer rights, but also intersex and “+,” a symbol designed to refer
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says she made a mistake last year in predicting that inflation would be minimal or manageable. “I think I was wrong then about the path that inflation would take,” Ms. Yellen told CNN on Tuesday. A once-promising fight against COVID-19 took a downward turn in mid-2021 as variants surged and producers struggled to shake off the pandemic and meet the demand for products. People who saved money or received federal payments continued to spend on goods instead of services, trips, conferences and other events, exacerbating the problem. Republicans say President Biden overheated the economy by authorizing new stimulus funding alongside the vaccine-driven
The heroic Border Patrol agent who stormed the Uvalde elementary school armed with a borrowed shotgun to save his wife, daughter and 20 other kids from the active shooter said he was just trying to help as many people as he could while local police are slammed for failing to act more quickly. U.S Custom and Border Patrol agent Jacob Albarado was off-duty and getting a haircut when he got a text from his wife, Trisha, a teacher at the Robb Elementary School, that a shooting was taking place.(Snip)Albarado told Fox News' Laura Ingraham that he quickly borrowed his barber's shotgun and raced to the school,
The White House said Tuesday that President Biden does not support a Canada-style ban on handgun sales in the wake of a pair of mass shootings last month—the latest example of administration members having to clear up their boss’s remarks. “We’ll leave it up to other countries to set their policy on gun ownership,” Jean-Pierre said during her regular briefing. “The president has made his position clear: The United States needs to act. As I just laid out, he supports a ban on the sale of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and expanded background checks to keep guns out of the—dangerous hands.
A Ukrainian LGBTQ couple have told of their decision to volunteer for Ukraine's territorial defence force to 'stop Russia destroying our culture'. Volunteer fighters Oleksandr Zhuhan and Antonina Romanova, both 37, spent two days sheltering as Russian tanks rolled across the border on February 24, before they decided to take action.(Snip)Like other members of Ukraine's LGBTQ community, the pair have sewn unicorn patches onto the sleeves of their uniforms to denote their status. The practice harks back to the 2014 conflict when Russia invaded Crimea, 'when lots of people said there are no gay people in the army,' Zhuhan said. 'So (the LGBTQ community) chose the unicorn
The FBI, CIA and other intelligence agencies are not permitted to consider Chinese-Americans as a greater security threat despite their targeting by China’s intelligence service for recruitment, according to a report made public Tuesday by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. “While continuing to combat the significant national security threat posed by the [People’s Republic of China], IC agencies and components must ensure that their intelligence activities and security clearance processes protect the privacy, civil liberties, and civil rights of Americans of Chinese descent and all other Americans,” the report concludes.
The report appears to be based on unfounded allegations of Chinese-American racism by intelligence and security

A high school in a Chicago is implementing a race-based grading system “to adjust classroom grading scales to account for skin color or ethnicity of its students.”
The move is necessary, advocates say, because “traditional grading practices perpetuate inequities,” a slide used in a presentation said.
Students, depending on their race, will not be held accountable for missing class, misbehaving in school, or for failing to turn in assignments. (snip) “Teachers may unintentionally let non-academic factors—like student behavior or whether a student showed up to virtual class—interfere with their final evaluation of students,” Sullivan said.
As we reported earlier, Michael Sussmann was found not guilty of lying to the FBI, despite the evidence that he was working for the Clinton campaign and that he told FBI General Counsel James Baker that he was not working for any client.
That raised questions as to how, given the evidence, you get a not guilty verdict in this case? Now, part of the issue may have been judicial rulings that hindered Special Counsel John Durham’s case to some degree, as I noted. The other part may have been you likely started out with an unfavorable jury, to begin with, in D.C., but then, in this case, you also seemed
Washington—A federal jury on Tuesday found former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann not guilty of lying to the FBI — finding special counsel John Durham did not prove his case beyond a reasonable doubt. The verdict by a jury in heavily Democratic-leaning DC, came midway through the second day of deliberations following a two-week trial on a single count of making false statements to a federal agent. Durham’s prosecution team unsuccessfully sought to prove that Sussmann deliberately lied to then-FBI general counsel James Baker by claiming not to be acting on behalf of the Clinton campaign and an internet executive when the two met in 2016.
University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) professor and MSNBC contributor Anthea Butler suggested that Texas police didn’t respond sooner to the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde because they “didn’t give a damn” about a school filled with mostly “brown kids.”
“So since no one else will ask, I will. Did those children die because most of them were Mexican American and the police didn’t give a damn about a school w predominately brown kids? I mean, because it’s Texas.. and if you think everyone who isn’t white is illegal,” Butler tweeted on Friday.
The UPenn professor has since deleted her tweet,
George Will on Biden's 'achievement'
38 replies
George Will’s recent column reviewing the first 500 days of the Biden presidency includes praise for the president’s “deft diplomacy” and “stunning achievement” in the administration’s response to Ukraine. According to Will, Biden’s diplomacy is substantially responsible for nudging Germany to play a larger geopolitical role and persuading Finland to join NATO, thus extending the alliance’s reach to more than 800 miles of Russia’s border. Biden, he writes, has revised the concept of the West, but Will writes that Biden’s achievement will not earn him political dividends because “what Americans usually want in foreign policy is as little as possible.”
Supreme Court law clerks are being asked to turn over their personal cell phone records and sign affidavits as the search ramps up for the person who leaked the draft opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade.Language of the affidavits and what the scope of the cell phone search will be are not yet clear, sources familiar with the efforts told CNN – but the potential of handing over their personal devices have clerks exploring their options, including hiring outside counsel.
Considering the crack down on law clerks, it's likely the court has not yet been successful in determining the source of the breach.

Yellowstone National Park, Wyo. — A bison gored a 25-year-old woman in Yellowstone National Park. The bison was walking near a boardwalk at Black Sand Basin, just north of Old Faithful, when the woman approached it on Monday, according to a park statement. She got within 10 feet before the animal gored her and tossed her 10 feet in the air. The woman, from Grove City, Ohio, sustained a puncture wound and other injuries. Park emergency medical providers responded and transported her via ambulance to a hospital in Idaho. Park officials say it's the first reported bison goring this year.
Those flying throughout the United States may soon have to put their masks back on, as the Department of Justice has filed an appeal of an April decision that ended the unpopular mask mandate on planes and public transit. The Centers for Disease Control had first implemented the mandate in February 2021 amid rising COVID cases, but as the number of cases started to drastically decline the mandate became unpopular among both passengers and crew members.
In fact, during a Senate hearing about the financial support airlines received in 2020 and 2021, American Airlines CEO Doug Parker and Southwest CEO Gary Kelly spoke out against the mandate.
Former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann has been found not guilty of lying to the FBI in the first trial of Special Counsel John Durham's investigation into what sparked the investigation of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. It's one of just two indictments in Durham's three-year inquiry into the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe, spurred by allegations that Trump's 2016 campaign got help from Russia. After just six hours of deliberation, a jury rejected Durham's claim that Sussmann lied to federal agents when sending them dirt on Trump's alleged links to Moscow.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said she 'did not hear that part of the speech' when asked Tuesday about claims made by President Joe Biden that he was 'appointed' to the Naval Academy the same year he was already finishing college. 'I need to read it myself, and just go back and see what you're talking about exactly. I can't speak to it right now,' Jean-Pierre told CBS News' Ed O'Keefe during the press briefing, as he had asked whether Biden could be confused about the timeline. At the top of Biden's commencement address to Naval Academy graduates Friday
A Chinese-government-controlled company has put in an offer to buy Forbes, the major American news company that built its name on financial analysis.
According to the Free Beacon, Magnum Opus, the CCP-controlled company in question, announced its intent to acquire the property last August. Now, that deal looks to be nearing completion, and it’s drawing outrage from Republicans who are pointing out what a major security risk the move represents. A Chinese-controlled firm’s bid to buy the Forbes media company poses a national security threat and would allow the Chinese Communist Party to push its propaganda by using one of the most recognizable American brand names,

The whole point is to risk the country’s social cohesion, silly. That and to break the bank. But didn't your politicians look wonderful onstage when announcing that you'd welcome as many refugees as possible, including a generous share of men of fighting age along with various non-Ukrainian nationals in the mix?
