JOE BIDEN GIVES AMERICA THE MIDDLE FINGER.........................again! - And it's made him a figure of fun. Biden showed that he was unable to present a picture of presidential dignity, as well as unable to read a room, even for a short, solemn, anniversary marking a well-known occasion, where presumably, he could fake it.

 JOE'S ALSO A BRIBES SUCKING SOCIOPATH LYING LAWYER!

President Joe Biden responded to widespread criticism of his exit from Afghanistan after visiting the 9/11 memorial for Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.

“I get it, a lot more direct attacks on me … I’m a big boy, I’ve been doing this a long time,” Biden said to reporters during his visit.

The president appeared keenly aware of his plummeting polling numbers after his disastrous exit from Afghanistan that led to the deaths of 13 service members.

Biden reminded the media that 77 percent of Americans supported the idea, even though they did not agree with the way that he did it.

“It’s hard to explain to anybody, how else could we get out,” he said, arguing that it would have been a difficult effort no matter what he did.

He repeated that his agenda was still popular, despite his poor job approval ratings.

“As down as my numbers have dropped, you’ve seen that my package is overwhelmingly popular,” he said.

Biden called for a return to unity in the country, praising a speech by former President George Bush earlier in the day about the character of America and the threat of domestic terrorism.

When reporters asked how to return the country to a feeling of unity, Biden suggested he could do it.

“By being honest when I make a mistake, by being straightforward, telling people exactly what I want to do, letting them know that there’s no hiding the ball,” he said.

Biden also appeared aware that Trump had talked about entering the boxing ring with him and made the sign of the cross.

“I should be so lucky,” he said.


At 9/11 ceremony, Biden beclowns himself in public

At 9/11's ceremonies, presented as pictures on the news, many former presidents were featured.

At Ground Zero, Democratic presidents were the story. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama stood dignified together for the ceremony as befits the solemn occasion.

Joe Biden, though, who was with them, presented a very weird exception.

He had been scheduled to speak at the event -- and then curiously, he wasn't.

He stood at attention with them, but that didn't stop him from embarrassing himself. Unlike the other two presidents standing together at ground zero, Biden couldn't maintain himself in public.

Start with this, according to CBS, which considered it a detail important enough to report:

Before the event began, a jet flew overhead in an eerie echo of the attacks, drawing a glance from Mr. Biden toward the sky.

Really? Biden looked up and around while everyone else was standing still? The former presidents were able to stand still for the occasion, but Biden somehow was not. He was looking around as if he were a ten-year-old kid, which doesn't transmit the word 'presidential.' In a way, he was looking at his watch.

There was other bizarre Biden behavior that showed additional tone-deaf idiocy.

There was this, which I screen-shotted from a shareable VOA video with AP pool footage:

In that screen shot, he was doing that cheesy thing politicians like to do, which is to wink, point, and pretend to recognize someone in the crowd, which looks very funny on any solemn occasion. One wonders if he does it at funerals, too.

Here's a truly embarrassing photo taken by the pros at Getty Images with no accompanying video -- Biden pulling down his mask and gape-mouthed shouting to someone out there as Obama looks on with disapproval. This, at the 9/11 ceremony which requires some presidential decorum.  Unlike Obama or Clinton, Biden's yelling like he's in a stadium. We don't have the copyright to the photo, so won't use even the Twitter embed. But Getty's captured image in that photo is worth looking at as it is more than a little telling.

And it's made him a figure of fun.

Biden showed that he was unable to present a picture of presidential dignity, as well as unable to read a room, even for a short, solemn, anniversary marking a well-known occasion, where presumably, he could fake it.

And if there was any question of about his declining faculties, all he had to do was open his mouth -- because there was a lot of stuff like this:

The F Biden signs are getting to him. https://t.co/t4jlaQ1NFC

— Shaun Christian Hansen (@HOFbarrybonds25) September 12, 2021

These are lunatic ravings of someone with incoherent, half-formed thoughts, all of them inappropriate for the occasion besides being inchoate in themselves. 

All of these seem to be a sign he's going off his rocker. His faculties are obviously failing him and he can't be trusted in public. That certainly would explain why he never made that planned speech at least as well as earlier speculation that it was all about his Afghanistan failures. 

He's just losing it, embarrassing himself even in the simplest settings, where all he's supposed to do is show up. On this occasion, commemorating 9/11, he was wretched.

THERE WERE ONLY 8 SAUDIS WHO INVADED 9/11. BIDEN HAS IMPORTED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MUSLIMS IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS ALONE. MORE TO COME!

Report: More Than 40 Afghan Evacuees Flagged as Potential Security Threats

More than 40 Afghan evacuees have been flagged by the Department of Homeland Security in the last two weeks over possible being security risks.

Fifteen of the evacuees were taken to Immigration and Customs Enforcement while 16 others have not been cleared to travel to the United States, according to The Washington Post. Customs and Border Protection is in custody of 13 additional evacuees as they await further screening.

Outside of the 44 flagged, two previously deported Afghan nationals were transferred to ICE and a third is facing deportation after being charged Wednesday with grand larceny by Virginia State Police.

The Biden administration has touted the thoroughness of the vetting of Afghan evacuees despite criticism from Republicans over the fast-tracked process. 

A senior administration official told reporters Tuesday that any evacuee who is flagged undergoes additional screening.

“I think it’s fair to say that for those whose initial vetting and screening led to a sense that more vetting and screening, more work, is appropriate, then that work either has continued and reached a point of satisfaction with entry or is continuing,” the official said.

The Department of Health and Human Services also said that the Afghan evacuees include more than 100 unaccompanied minors.

"We are working to ensure that Unaccompanied Afghan Minors who are referred to the Office of Refugee and Resettlement for processing, unification, or placement are placed with licensed care providers that are able to provide culturally and linguistically appropriate services or unified directly with a vetted sponsor, such as a family member who arrived with the minor," a department spokesperson said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.


Washington Post: Joe Biden Brings Afghans ‘Flagged for Suspected Associations with Terrorists’ to U.S.

President Joe Biden’s administration has brought Afghans to the United States who were later “flagged for suspected associations with terrorists,” the Washington Post reports.

According to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) vetting records reviewed by the Post, the Biden administration has flagged a total of 44 Afghans as “potential national security risks” after they were brought to the U.S.

A total of 13 of those Afghans are in U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) custody as they undergo more vetting, which includes interviews with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

About 15 of those Afghans have been flagged as “security concerns” and since been turned over to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency to be sent back to third safe countries. Some of those 15 Afghans, though, have been released back into the U.S.

The Post reports:

The DHS lists show several Afghans were flagged for suspected associations with terrorists, or whose phones and electronic devices contained information that raised concern among the CBP officers who screen them upon arrival in the United States. CBP and its National Targeting Center are checking Afghan passengers as they land at the two designated arrival sites, Dulles International Airport in Virginia and Philadelphia International Airport. [Emphasis added]

This week, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas acknowledged that there have been Afghans who failed the federal agencies’ vetting standards but would not give a specific number.

As Breitbart News reported, Biden has brought more than 48,000 Afghans to the U.S. over a 21-day period — indicating that the administration is flying about 2,300 Afghans every day into Philadelphia International Airport in Pennsylvania and Dulles International Airport in Virginia.

Already, the population of Afghans brought to the U.S. by Biden in less than a month is more than four times the population of Jackson, Wyoming.

National Public Radio (NPR) reported days ago that Afghans are arriving in the U.S. sometimes with “no paperwork” to prove their identities or with “just scraps of paper.” Likewise, the Associated Press reported that Afghans have been caught lying about their identities or destroying their passports to conceal their true identities.

Meanwhile, the Post previously reported that the Biden administration has brought Afghans to the U.S. who were later “flagged for security concerns.” Likewise, administration officials told CNN that Afghans are arriving in the U.S. who do not have any “documents whatsoever.”

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby has said he does not know the number of Afghans who have sought resettlement in the U.S. but subsequently were found to have been on terrorist watch lists.

Pentagon officials have told Defense One that “up to 100 of the 7,000 Afghans evacuated as prospective recipients” of Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) seeking permanent resettlement in the U.S. have been “flagged” as “potential matches to intelligence agency watch lists.”

Report: Biden’s DHS May Give Work Permits to Afghans Before Vetting Them

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may issue work permits to the tens of thousands of Afghans arriving weekly to the United States before completing their vetting.

As part of Biden’s massive resettlement operation out of Afghanistan, he is hoping to resettle about 95,000 Afghans in total across the U.S. over the next 12 months. Already, more than 48,000 Afghans have been flown to the U.S. for permanent resettlement.

The overwhelming majority of Afghans arriving in the U.S. every day do not qualify for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) or even refugee status. Instead, Afghans are arriving in the hopes of getting “humanitarian parole” and are allowed to land in the U.S. without having completed their immigration processing.

Robert Law with the Center for Immigration Studies writes this week that sources inside the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency have said that top DHS officials are reviewing plans to issue work permits to Afghans before their vetting process is completed.

“Multiple [USCIS] sources tell me that agency leadership (i.e., Biden political appointees) are on the verge of ordering adjudicators to issue work permits first and ‘resolve’ vetting issues later,” Law writes:

If Director Ur Jaddou signs off on this policy, it is even more reckless than it appears. For starters, none of these Afghans have established addresses in the United States, so the work permits are either being handed to them upon release from the military bases they are temporarily being housed in or are being mailed to the advocacy groups who are sponsoring them. When derogatory information comes up, how helpful do you expect these groups to be in tracking down these aliens? And my sources tell me that the agency has already discovered numerous instances of national security or Department of Defense flags on these aliens, but they too will get work permits and be released from temporary custody. [Emphasis added]

This policy, if implemented, would tie the hands of adjudicators by requiring them to approve work permits with incomplete information and removing their discretionary authority to deny. Just days away from the 20th anniversary of 9/11, the Biden administration is considering actions that would make the country less safe, and using career immigration adjudicators to do it. [Emphasis added]

Biden, this week, asked Congress to approve $6.4 billion in American taxpayer money to help resettle Afghans across the U.S.

Over the last 20 years, nearly a million refugees have been resettled in the nation — more than double that of residents living in Miami, Florida, and it would be the equivalent of annually adding the population of Pensacola, Florida.

Refugee resettlement costs American taxpayers nearly $9 billion every five years, according to research, and each refugee costs taxpayers about $133,000 over the course of their lifetime. Within five years, an estimated 16 percent of all refugees admitted will need housing assistance paid for by taxpayers.

Joe Biden Conceals How Many Afghans on ‘No Fly List’ Sought Entry to U.S.

President Joe Biden’s agencies are refusing to disclose how many Afghans on the federal government’s “No Fly List” have sought entry to the United States since beginning their massive resettlement operation currently underway.

Last month, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) sent a letter to top Biden officials asking that the administration share the number of Afghans with ties to terrorism, the Taliban, the Islamic State (ISIS), and Al Queda who have sought entry to the U.S.

“How many individuals on the U.S. no-fly list attempted to board evacuation flights out of Afghanistan? How many successfully gained access to an evacuation flight?” Grassley asks:

How many evacuees have been flagged during the vetting and security screening process as potential security concerns or risks? How many evacuees is the U.S. government currently detaining as potential security concerns or risks? [Emphasis added]

What was the rationale for the State Department’s apparent decision to transmit a generic visa document to thousands of American citizens and SIV applicants in Afghanistan? Can you please provide a thorough explanation of what specific groups of individuals actually received it and what procedures were put in place to ensure that bad actors were not able to utilize the document to gain access to HKIA or evacuation flights? [Emphasis added]

The Bloomberg piece referenced above also stated that the FBI and state and local law enforcement might be required to keep tabs on resettled evacuees who present “ongoing security concerns.” Does the Administration, in fact, intend to resettle evacuees in the United States who present any form of “ongoing security concern?” [Emphasis added]

Grassley asked officials to respond by September 7. To date, though, the officials have yet to respond to Grassley’s request for answers on the vetting process of Afghans.

This week, a number of House Republicans with the Republican Study Committee (RSC) sent a letter to top Biden officials requesting information on how agencies are vetting Afghans with incomplete databases and as many do not have paperwork or identification cards to prove who they are.

The Republicans want to know how many Afghans have failed the vetting process, a figure that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has refused to disclose. The Republiocans write:

This vetting has already failed in the case of Afghan nationals. An Afghan male convicted of rape in the United States and deported by DHS was evacuated from Kabul, allowed to enter the United States, and not caught until he arrived at Washington Dulles International Airport.

The Republicans also want to know which officials will be “held accountable” if Afghans brought to the U.S. commit crimes against American citizens.

“DHS background and security checks … cannot assure Americans’ safety … who will be held accountable and by what process will they be held accountable?” they write.

Those who signed the letter include:

Rep. Yvette Herrel (R-NM), Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN), Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI), Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-WI), Rep. Gregory Murphy (R-NC), Rep. W. Gregory Steube (R-FL), Rep. Bill Posey (R-FL), Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX), Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL), Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC), Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO), Rep. David Rouzer (R-NC), Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), Rep. Diana Harshbarger (R-TN), Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL), Rep. Bob Gibbs (R-OH), Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH), Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Rep. Steven Palazzo (R-MI), Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC), Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), Rep. Fred Keller (R-PA), Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Rep. Rick Allen (R-GA), Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ), Rep. Jim Hagedorn (R-MN), Rep. Jerry Carl (R-AL), Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-IN), Rep. Ron Estes (R-KS), Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Rep. Robert Wittman (R-VA), Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX), Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX), and Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX).

As Breitbart News reported, Biden has brought more than 48,000 Afghans to the U.S. over a 21-day period — indicating that the administration is flying about 2,300 Afghans every day into Philadelphia International Airport in Pennsylvania and Dulles International Airport in Virginia.

Already, the population of Afghans brought to the U.S. by Biden in less than a month is more than four times that of Jackson, Wyoming’s resident population.

National Public Radio (NPR) reported days ago that Afghans are arriving in the U.S. sometimes with “no paperwork” to prove their identities or with “just scraps of paper.” Likewise, the Associated Press reported that Afghans have been caught lying about their identities or destroying their passports to conceal their true identities.

In total, Biden is hoping to resettle 95,000 Afghans in the U.S.

JOE BIDEN AND THE SOICOPATH

 

Migration and Double Standards

If Americans must be tested before returning home, the U.S. should ask the same of anyone who seeks asylum here.September 7, 2021 
Covid-19
The Social Order
Politics and law

Crossing borders is a hazardous business, or so our government and public-health experts would have us believe. But many of the same experts are strangely unconcerned about the influx of thousands of unauthorized migrants from countries with single-digit vaccination rates.

U.S. government agencies advise extreme caution for international travel. In recent months, I’ve traveled without incident with my family to countries that carry the State Department’s “reconsider travel” warnings. We’re all vaccinated, save for my 11-year-old son, but we had to take Covid tests prior to our departures and also for our flights back home. All of our tests were negative, but according to CDC guidelines, we still needed to self-quarantine at home for seven days after our trips—regardless of vaccination status or of whether the country visited has higher or lower infection rates than the United States. The State Department’s travel advisories, which mirror CDC country advisories, say that Americans should avoid or reconsider travel to most countries. At the moment, the federal government has the same “do not travel” advisory for Afghanistan as it does for countries with significantly lower Covid infection rates than the U.S., such as Andorra, Ireland, Greece, and Malta. (According to the New York Times, Malta has the highest rate of fully vaccinated citizens in the world at 82 percent.)

The rules appear to have no limiting principle. They make no distinction between vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers. Meantime, the Associated Press recently reported that the Biden administration had considered implementing vaccination requirements for interstate domestic travel but elected not to do so to avoid a backlash. “That’s not to say (a vaccine requirement for interstate travel) won’t be implemented in the future,” the AP maintained, “as public opinion continues to shift toward requiring vaccinations as a means to restore normalcy.” The story cited the opinion of a public-health expert who maintained that such a requirement might be a good idea.

Compare this uber-cautious approach to travel with the government’s response to the migrant crisis on our southern border. Homeland Security officials recently told Politifact that all migrants are tested “at some point during their immigration journey.” But officials also recently admitted to the Wall Street Journal that they don’t have the capacity to test migrants or quarantine anyone with Covid.

And some migrants have been put on buses without being tested, as the El Paso Times recently reported from Laredo, Texas—where officials filed a lawsuit to prevent the government from sending the city additional migrants after alleging that 35 percent–40 percent of recent arrivals tested positive for Covid. Border Report revealed that officials in Laredo recently sent three busloads of untested migrants to Austin, Texas, and dropped them off at a Greyhound bus station because hospitals in Laredo are over capacity.

According to NBC News, more than 18 percent of migrant families and 20 percent of unaccompanied minors tested positive in recent weeks for Covid before leaving Border Patrol custody. The Department of Homeland Security says that testing is done via a number of federal agencies, local governments, organizations, and contractors at various stages of the immigration process. But the New York Times reported in late April that testing is often done late, well after migrants have been detained for days, sleeping in cramped quarters near strangers.

Despite the risks of our tardy and haphazard testing procedures for unauthorized migrants, prominent media outlets and fact-checkers are convinced that the chaos at the border isn’t a public-health threat. NBC News headlined a story, “No, the surge in Covid cases across the U.S. is not due to migrants or immigrants,” citing opinions from public-health experts, not data. Politifact rated Florida governor Ron DeSantis’s claims that illegal immigrants are fueling the Covid spike “false”—arguing, again, based on the claims of public-health experts that it was only a “contributing factor.” The AP ran a similar fact check, quoting an expert who said there was “no reason to suspect that [illegal migrants] would have higher rates of Covid-19 infection.” These putative experts pointed to low vaccination rates across the South as the cause of the recent caseload spike; none mentioned the shockingly low vaccination rates in the countries sending us the most migrants. According to the New York Times, 51 percent of Americans are fully vaccinated, compared with 30 percent in El Salvador, 23 percent in Mexico, 5 percent in Honduras, and 3 percent in Guatemala.

Conspicuously absent are calls to mandate vaccines, or even Covid testing, for migrants. With illegal migration surging to levels not seen in years, an efficient testing procedure for unauthorized migrants is clearly necessary. The job shouldn’t be outsourced to local governments and NGOs. If we’re going to require Americans to be tested before traveling back home, we should ask the same of anyone seeking asylum in our country.

Psaki Grilled on Why Biden Didn’t Mandate COVID Vaccines for Migrants Crossing the Border

By Melanie Arter | September 10, 2021 | 6:37pm EDT

(CNSNews.com) - White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki couldn’t explain Friday why the Biden administration is mandating COVID vaccinations for people who work but not for migrants crossing the southern border.

As CNSNews.com previously reported, Biden announced Thursday that he is mandating vaccines for the entire federal workforce and federal contractors. He also called on the Labor Department to require all employers with 100 or more employees to ensure their employees are fully vaccinated or show a negative COVID test once a week.


Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked Psaki on Friday, “Why is it that you’re trying to require anybody with a job or anybody who goes to school to get the COVID-19 vaccine, but you’re not requiring that of migrants that continue to walking across the southern border into the country?”

“Our objective is to get as many people vaccinated across the country as humanly possible, and so the president’s announcement yesterday was an effort to empower businesses, to give businesses the tools to protect their workforces,” Psaki said.

“That’s exactly what we did, but certainly we want everybody to get vaccinated, and the more people who are vaccinated, whether they are migrants or whether they are workers, protects more people in the United States,” she said.

“But it’s a requirement for people at a business with more than 100 people but it’s not a requirement for migrants at the southern border. Why?” Doocy asked.

“That’s correct,” Psaki replied.
