Looks like deep state bureaucrats are blabbing to the New York Times on refugee ceiling issue
 |
| The NYT will never tell you that Hartke’s Lutherans are paid by the head to resettle refugees and that her organization is 96-97% funded by you, the taxpayer. |
Here are some snips from the New York Times yesterday:
President Trump plans to cap refugee admissions at 45,000 over the next year, according to current and former government officials briefed on the decision, setting a historically low limit on the number of people who can resettle in the United States after fleeing persecution in their own countries.Anonymous Sources:
Administration officials plan to inform senior lawmakers of the decision on Wednesday, according to the officials, who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to pre-empt a formal announcement.
Mr. Trump’s decision follows a fierce internal debate among senior members of his administration. Military and foreign policy officials pressed for resettling more refugees as a national security and moral imperative, while other top officials, led by Stephen Miller, his top policy adviser, and backed by John F. Kelly, his chief of staff and former secretary of homeland security, advocated slashing the number to as low as 15,000 based on concerns about cost and safety.
But Rex W. Tillerson, the secretary of state, ultimately lowered his recommended limit to 45,000, the people said, and that was the number presented to Mr. Trump.
The White House declined to comment on the decision or on the deliberations surrounding it.
Refugee assistance groups reacted with outrage to the anticipated cap, calling it a departure from the American tradition of welcoming immigrants in times of need. I’ve been telling you, the refugee contractors are going to scream bloody murder over 45,000, so Trump should have gone for some really significant number—heck, even zero!
Partner! Partner! (grrrrr!) Does the NYT intentionally lie or are their reporters just lazy?
NYT reporters JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS and MIRIAM JORDAN*** continue….
“Today a dark shadow has passed across the great American legacy and promise of protecting refugees,” said Linda Hartke, the president of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, one of nine agencies — most of them faith-based — that partner with the United States government to resettle refugees. “The threat of a drastically low ceiling on refugee arrivals in the U.S. is contrary to American values and the spirit of generosity in American churches and communities.”
Just when I think I can’t do this anymore, I see the NYT write this deception (by omission) about the contractors and it energizes me to continue to get the truth out to you.
Here is the latest financial information on the refugee agencies (federal contractors) whosebudgets are based on the number of refugees (aka “clients”) admitted each year. As the numbers decline, so too do their federally-funded budgets!
BTW, the outraged Hartke is pulling down a salary/benefits/related income package of over $300,000 a year—doing very well by doing good!
(That is a government-funded salary larger than a US Senator or a Supreme Court Justice makes annually!)
Finally, here, toward the end of the article, is the PR stunt letter...
From spying on Trump to journalists, look at the government patterns
According to media reports this week, the FBI did indeed “wiretap” the former head of Trump’s campaign, Paul Manafort, both before and after Trump was elected. If Trump officials — or Trump himself — communicated with Manafort during the wiretaps, they would have been recorded, too.
But we’re missing the bigger story.
If these reports are accurate, it means U.S. intelligence agencies secretly surveilled at least a half dozen Trump associates. And those are just the ones we know about.
Besides Manafort, the officials include former Trump advisers Carter Page and Michael Flynn. Last week, we discovered multiple Trump “transition officials” were “incidentally” captured during government surveillance of a foreign official. We know this because former Obama adviser Susan Rice reportedly admitted “unmasking,” or asking to know the identities of, the officials. Spying on U.S. citizens is considered so sensitive, their names are supposed to be...

Work begins on prototypes for Trump's Mexico wall
President Donald Trump says the wall should be transparent to stop people from "catapulting" and "throwing" drugs into the US.
Government contractors have started to build prototypes of President Trump's proposed border wall with Mexico.
Bidding documents say four of the eight prototypes are to be solid concrete and four are to be made of "other materials".
Mr Trump said on Friday that the wall should be see-through, repeating earlier claims that it should be transparent to curb the flow of drugs into the country.
"They take drugs, literally, and they throw it - 100lbs of drugs - they throw it over the wall," he said at a rally in Alabama.
"They have catapults. They throw it over the wall and it lands, and it hits somebody on the head and you don't even know they are there.
"Believe it or not, this is the kind of stuff that happens. So you need to have a great wall but it has to be see-through."
A green tarpaulin hanging on a chain-link fence blocked views of the work, in a remote area of San Diego, and is expected to last 30 days.
Roy Villarreal, acting chief of the Border Patrol's San Diego sector, told reporters another contractor will evaluate each model, which will be up to 30ft (nine metres) high and 30ft long.
"It may not result in a singular winner. It may be a combination of...
Turns out, Steelers coach who was upset Army vet stood for anthem hosted a posh Hillary fundraiser
Tomlin raised eyebrows after getting upset that offensive tackle Alejandro Villanueva— a decorated Army veteran — stood for the national anthem while the rest of his team hid like hood rats in the locker room.
Villanueva earned widespread praise for his patriotism, but then apologized (under duress) the next day. He said he was sorry he made his unpatriotic teammates and coach look bad. Well, now we know why he apologized: Villanueva’s obnoxious coach is a flaming liberal bully.
Record show that Tomlin has donated tens of thousands of dollars over the years to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s political campaigns. In June 2016, Tomlin even hosted a posh fundraiser for Hillary at his Pittsburgh mansion. Tickets to the event cost $10,000 to $33,400. The most expensive ticket included a private meeting with...
Roy Moore Defeats Luther Strange in GOP’s Alabama Senate Runoff
With all precincts reporting after 11 p.m., Moore had 54.6 percent or 262,204 votes and Strange had 45.4 percent or 218,066 votes. The Associated Press called the race when results from about half the 2,286 precincts were in.
“Republican voters know who a person of principle is,” Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, told The Daily Signal in a pre-election interview predicting a victory for Moore, former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.
Moore will face Democrat Doug Jones in the Dec. 12 special election for the Senate seat vacated by Republican Jeff Sessions when he became attorney general in the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump had endorsed Strange, whom he considered loyal to his priorities.
Trump tweeted congratulations to Moore late Tuesday night:
“From the beginning of this campaign, my priority has been serving the people of Alabama,” Strange, the state’s former attorney general, said in a written concession statement. “Tomorrow, I will go back to work with President Trump and...
