There's a whole lot of errors in those reports that Georgia voters are being purged

October 24,2018 article which explains exactly how those voters Abrams claimed were being disenfranchised are categorized and why. I guess sensationalism sounded better to her at the time instead of sorting out facts. 

Medium short read worth the time.

"....As a former elections lawyer and as someone who has reviewed the independent audit of the pending voters that the secretary of state authorized, let me correct the record. ..."

DOJ and DHS Issue New Asylum Rule

Applies President’s authority to suspend entry to asylum

Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen today announced an Interim Final Rule declaring that those aliens who contravene a presidential suspension or limitation on entry into the United States through the southern border with Mexico issued under section 212(f) or 215(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) will be rendered ineligible for asylum. 


The Acting Attorney General and the Secretary issued the following joint statement:

“Consistent with our immigration laws, the President has the broad authority to suspend or restrict the entry of aliens into the United States if he determines it to be in the national interest to do so. Today's rule applies this important principle to aliens who violate such a suspension or restriction regarding the southern border imposed by the President by invoking an express authority provided by Congress to restrict eligibility for asylum.  Our asylum system is overwhelmed with too many meritless asylum claims from aliens who place a tremendous burden on our resources, preventing us from being able to expeditiously grant asylum to those who truly deserve it.  Today, we are using the authority granted to us by Congress to bar aliens who violate a Presidential suspension of entry or other restriction from asylum eligibility.”

Section 212(f) of the Immigration and INA states that “[w]henever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

Further, Section 215(a) of the INA states that it is “unlawful…for any alien to depart from or enter or attempt to depart from or enter the United States except under such reasonable rules, regulations, and orders, and subject to such limitations and exceptions as the President may prescribe.”

In Section 208(d)(5)(B) of the INA, Congress specified that the Attorney General “may provide by regulation for any other conditions or limitations on the consideration of an application for asylum.”

Today’s new rule applies to prospective presidential proclamations, and is not retroactive.

Asylum is a discretionary form of relief granted by the Executive Branch on a discretionary basis to those fleeing persecution on the basis of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.  The rule does not render such aliens ineligible for withholding of removal under the INA or protection from removal under the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

The Interim Final Rule can be found  here.   "

Navy SEAL Who Was Mocked on 'Saturday Night Live' Wins Election in Resounding Fashion

I find it reprehensible, coarse and classless when someone chooses to make fun of an individual who has scars from an injury or disability. Such was the case recently on SNL. Dead

Sweet revenge, congratulations Congressman elect Dan Crenshaw!  Party

Inspector General Warns Public About Caller-ID “Spoofing” Scheme Misusing SSA Customer Service Number

Social Security phone scam reported across the country

This particular scam involves criminals using a technique called “spoofing” to make an incoming call appear as if it’s coming from a number which it’s really not.

In this case, scamsters are making the SSA’s legitimate customer service number — 1-800-772-1213 — show up on the caller ID.

"...In any case, below is the voicemail of a newspaper reporter who called James’s campaign office to ask for an interview, but who apparently didn’t disconnect properly, and went on to show how “objective” and “unbiased” she is. Listen to the very end (only a minute long):

A Message from the Warring Angels, 2432

Just watched, very interesting. There are some who have visions and this is an account of one.

You decide.  From my perspective most of what he describes is what I've been feeling for a couple of years, not in a vision but a gut feeling.
