  "On 2003-08-06, in Houston, a Muslim named Mohammed Ali Alayed slashed the throat of his [erstwhile] friend Ariel Sellouk, a Jew. Alayad had broken off his friendship with Sellouk when he began to become more devout in his Islam. On the night of the murder, Alayad called Sellouk and they went out to a bar together before going back to Alayed's apartment, where Alayed killed his friend. The 2 were not seen arguing at the bar. Although Alayed killed Sellouk after the fashion of jihadist murders in Iraq and went to a mosque after committing the murder, authorities said they 'could not find any evidence that Sellouk...was killed because of his race or religion'." --- Robert Spencer 2005 _The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades)_ pg207

  "Anger builds stronger relationships; it's a relationship-focused emotion. Hostility & passivity, OTOH, drive people apart.   Therefore, clarify what expectations you need met so the relationship possesses a high degree of dependability.   Tell people what you need done & ask them to tell you if they can do it.   It's much better to deal with the disappointment of someone saying up front that he is unable to complete a task than to find out later he had no intention of doing it.   You need to tell people around you that if this happens, your disappointment will turn into hostility & undermine the relationship.   We can best handle disappointment in relationships when it's dealt with directly; if it's not, it becomes hostility & the relationship is in jeopardy." --- Morris R. Shechtman 1994 _Working without a Net_ pg 204

Independent Journal Review
"...'...these countries don't have a data-base that keeps track of its citizens.   And we can't depend on a government data-base in countries that do, because if they have one it has a political agenda behind it.   It wouldn't be hard for someone to get into the USA whose loyalty lies with ISIL/ ISIS/ Daesh/ IS/ caliphate or a militia aligned with Iran...   Al-Qaeda murdered my brother because of me helping the Americans.   There are [people] over there, who have proved their loyalty.   ISIS and other groups keep a list of their names.   It's not like in Washington, DC, you can't just hide out somewhere.   In all seven countries, you're either known by your family or tribe, and everyone is connected.   You cannot hide yourself, they will find you.   When the terrorists find you, they don't just murder you, they murder your brother, sister, dad, mom, grand-parents, cousin, and friends, too.'..."

** politicized reporting parrots party line on president Trump executive order **
WhiteHouse.gov: executive order protecting USA from foreign terrorist entry into the USA
"My ancestors had a saying: Quos deus vult perdere, prius dementat—whom the gods wish to destroy, they first deprive of reason.     The American news media has been putting on a demonstration of that principle.     I was never a fan of George W. Bush [Shrub].     But during his presidency, the American media lost any sense of objectivity.     The last time I watched a network news broadcast was a NBC Nightly News where they had 30 minutes of deranged [Shrub] trashing.     [Shrub] actually benefited from the appalling coverage.     If, instead of crazed attacks, the media had focused in on the actual flaws and blunders of the [Shrub regime], they would have been more effect.     Instead, they undermined their own credibility with their rabid, non-sensical attacks.     The media has learned little [because most people did not notice, or gullibly believed that if they heard the same phrases from multiple sources, it must be true; and the media gullibly believed that the echo-chamber was fooling nearly everyone].     With Donald J. Trump they have lost any sense of balance.     Reading the news today, thought I had a serious case of déjà vu.     Then I realized I was reading the same thing over and over:
 
* "The 7 nations targeted for new visitation restrictions by president Trump on Friday all have something in common: They are places he does not appear to have any business interests." Washington [Com]Post
 
* "The executive action, 'Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States,' targets seven nations: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.     Trump has no business interests in those countries." National Socialist Radio
 
* "Conspicuously, Trump doesn't hold any business interests in any of the countries on the list, but holds major stakes in several of those excluded from it, records show." New York Daily News
 
* "His proposed list doesn't include Muslim-majority countries where his Trump Organization has done business or pursued potential deals." Bloomberg
 
* USA Today/Gannett
 
* Teen Vogue
 
* Sydney Australia Morning Herald.
 
There's plenty more.     Holy coincidence, Batman!     How would news outlets around the world pick up on the same points on the exact same day?     Obviously, like the synoptic Gospels, they all have a common origin.     Someone sent out a set of talking points and like lemmings many 'journalists' parroted it [an 'echo-chamber' gimmick they have been using for close to 30 years, now].     This is not news; this is politics.     The American public is supposed to believe that Donald Trump included Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen on his temporary ban list because he does not have hotels there.     Any rational person is going to know the reason Donald Trump does not have hotels in these countries for the same reason that he has select those countries for the temporary ban -- they are jihad war zones or state-sponsors of terror.     One can debate the wisdom of Trump's decision here.     However, by focusing the debate on the absurd, no serious debate on real issues is possible.     The main-stream media continue their descent into irrelevancy."

** president Trump can repair some of the H-1B cess-pool by shortening terms of visas and eliminating renewals **
"There are many things that president Trump can do to tweak the H-1B cess-pool.     Real reform would have to come from congress.     However, [Obummer] demonstrated that a president may take extreme measures, not even authorized by statute, that many members of congress [and some judges] approved of.     Fortunately, president Trump does not have to venture outside of the statutes to do a little clean-up to the H-1B problem.     I have described other such potential actions previously.     For today I have another simple H-1B reform for president Trump: Shorten the length of the visa and eliminate renewals.     Currently H-1B visas are valid for [up to] 3 years and can be renewed once [making the total term] up to 6 years.     Congress has only specified that H-1B visas can last up to 6 years [with an un-limited, but commonly only 2 one-year extensions after that].     The 3-year term and the 1 renewal is entirely a product of regulation.     There is nothing to stop the Trump administration from, say, reducing the H-1B duration to 1 term of 2 years [or 2 terms of 1 year, or 3 terms of 4 months].     It is supposed to be a guest-worker program after all.     Such a change in H-1B duration would require changing regulations, so it would take nearly a year to accomplish.     In the previous proposal I put forth that president Trump could replace the current purely random procedure for selecting H-1B petitions for processing with one that selects the petitions where the aliens will receive the highest wages.     I have heard grumblings of complaint, but only a few open criticisms of such a change.     One of the grumblings (that I have not yet seen in print) is the threat of law-suits.     The law-suit issue is one that has been considered with these proposals for changes to the lottery.     Hypothetically, suppose president Trump announces next week he is changing the H-1B petition selection process to being wage-based.     Then the following week a group of immigration lawyers files a suit.     Let us even assume that the district court grants an injunction against the change.     President Trump could simply delay processing the H-1B visa petitions until the courts resolve the question.     That could take years.     The president expressly has such power under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(f):
 
'Whenever 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 non-immigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.'
 
This provision also opens the door to more administrative restrictions on H-1B visas to discuss in future posts.     Meanwhile, it is apparent the cheap foreign labor lobby will use the 'What's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable' strategy to attempt to derail any statutory H-1B reform.     The useless American media is already parroting the [false propaganda] fed to them that the do-nothing bill introduced by congressman Issa   raises the minimum salaries for H-1B workers.     As the blog post mentioned above suggests, Congressman Issa's do-nothing-to-reform bill could be coupled with an increase in the number of H-1B visas.     In such a 'compromise', the cheap foreign labor lobby gives up nothing to get an H-1B increase."

David North _Center for Immigration Studies_
how illegal aliens could help pay for the border fences/walls
"...This series of measures would terminate current (sometimes unwitting) programs that pay federal funds to illegal aliens, moneys that would better be used on migration enforcement.   None of these reforms would fund the wall individually, but the collection of them -- most worth $1G-3G a year each -- would do the job nicely.   The trouble with these proposals is that they are scattered through different government departments, many of them are both complex and obscure, and all call for a nuanced approach to the business of governing.   The glory of them is that all raise money for enforcement from the people -- illegal aliens -- who have been benefitting from our lax migration policies in recent years.   Here's a listing of some of these illegals-pay-for-the-wall ideas, with references to more detailed discussions of these ideas.   Put a 2% fee on all out-going remittances; the rate is low enough to discourage alternative ways of sending money to the homelands...   Demand a genuine [Socialist Insecurity number (SIN)] tied to the beneficiary before any income tax refunds are made.   Terminate the current practice of allowing Additional Child Tax Credit benefits to go to children (often of illegals) who lack [Socialist Insecurity numbers (SINs)].   Eliminate the current and hard-to-believe food stamps ruling that lets some families with illegal alien wage earners get benefits when all-citizen families of the same size and at the same income are denied benefits.   In addition, and this would cover all the people involved, including legal residents of this country and legal residents of Mexico, start collecting a small cover charge for those crossing into the United States of America; 25 cents for a pedestrian, $1 for a car, and $5 for a bus.   None of these proposals would depress the Mexican economy, all would help fund the wall, and most would have absolutely no impact on the vast majority of [USA tax-victims], and all (but the crossing fees) would encourage illegal aliens to return home."

long-time racist, sexist, communist losers who thought they were locked into life-time power
"C-SPAN covered Angela Davis' speech to the massive Jan. 21 march on Washington but in typical style provided no commentary.   Millennials and GenXers, and even baby boomers might not be aware that Davis has delivered some of her best speeches before national elections, not afterward.   In fact, in 1980 and 1984 Angela Davis was the vice-presidential candidate of the Communist Party USA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Soviet Union.   So despite her fiery rhetoric, the African-American feminist had a soft spot for all-white, all-male Communist dictatorships.   In 1980 and 1984, Davis was on the bottom of the Communist Party ticket under white Stalinist Gus Hall, a real barrel of laughs.   Davis and Hall twice lost to Ronald Reagan and George Bush, big time.   Before that, in 1979, the Soviet Union awarded Angela Davis the International Lenin Peace Prize.   The prize helped her rise in the Communist Party, but she was more than a political candidate.   Black Panther George Jackson had been charged with killing a prison guard at Soledad Prison.   Angela Davis supplied the arsenal of weapons to Jackson's brother Jonathan, who in August 1970 charged into a Marin county court-room and took several people hostage, including judge Harold Haley, the prosecuting assistant DA and 2 jurors..."

5 things bothering me about phony "refugee" riots, and left-wing media hysteria
"...First, I have a hard time believing that suddenly, across America, countless thousands of Americans are upset that Muslim refugees from seven countries will be temporarily banned from entering our country while [reasonable & prudent] measures are put in place [for a change]...   While some of the outrage is legitimate, much of it is more of an expression of hatred toward Trump...   Second, this massive, loud, national expression of compassion for Muslim refugees strikes me as quite hypocritical when we remember that there have been very few words spoken about the decades-long genocide of Middle Eastern Christians at the hands of radical Muslims...   Yet now, we Americans are in a state of frenzy because of the temporary halt on some refugees entering our country.   Something is not lining up here.   Third, I don't understand why some Christian leaders are upset with putting a priority on re-settling Christian refugees...   Fourth, I have no tolerance for the media's hysteria and their use of inflammatory phrases..."

defending the USA is American
NYPost
"...Nowhere is it written that the United States can never tap the brakes on immigration.   For much of the political class and for an inflamed left, any new restriction is tantamount to melting down the Statue of Liberty.   This is an ahistorical attitude that desperately needs a corrective.   President Trump...is setting out to provide one...   [The USA] the late political scientist Samuel Huntington wrote, 'has been a nation of restricted and interrupted immigration as much as it has been a nation of immigration.'   Levels of immigration spiked in the 1880s, dropped in the 1890s [during which interval the frontiers had been eliminated]...   Then, the 1924 immigration law brought a new phase of lower immigration that didn't end until the late 1960s.   In 1965, fewer than 300K immigrants were admitted to the United States...   there is a lot of room to reduce immigration without shutting our doors entirely.   Cutting in half legal immigration to [somewhat approach] the levels of the early 1980s would still mean roughly 500K new immigrants a year, a high absolute number compared to almost every other country in the world [1.67 times the already excessive 1965 rate cited].   Of course, the Trump policy that has caused such a reaction is not close to change of this scale.   Trump has also temporarily suspended the USA refugee program and capped it at 50K refugees.   This is in the same ball-park as the figure for admittances from the last 5 years or so, when the number of refugees was typically between 50K-70K a year.   If we are using an overall level of refugees to judge our American-ness, 1976, 1977, 1978, 2002, 2003, 2006 and 2007 must have been woefully un-American years because the number of refugees was less than 50K in each of them...   This is a direct challenge to the lazy [hazy, anti-USA] cosmopolitanism that assumes the only 'correct' answer in immigration policy is always 'more' and never 'less'..."

Hamas-linked CAIR urges traveling Muslims to refuse to answer questions at ports
"...Counter-terrorism analysts argue, however, that individuals and groups that cite Islam as their motivation are by far the biggest terror threats, having carried out more than 30K attacks worldwide since 2001/09/11...   Among the questions the group finds objectionable [and which show the extreme inadequacy of the border vetting] are: 'Are you a devout Muslim?   How many times a day do you pray?   What school of thought do you follow?   What Muslim scholars do you listen to?   What do they preach in your mosque?'...   CAIR and others who raise such concerns never offer alternative questions that would meet their approval.   Included in CAIR-Florida's complaints to the USA CBP were questions asked of a Canadian Muslim citizen who was denied entry to the USA.   Among them was, 'Why did you shave your beard?'   Haney has said that if he had been given the opportunity to question San Bernardino killer Syed Farook upon his return to the USA from Saudi Arabia in 2014, he would have asked Farook about the fact that he had grown a Shariah-compliant beard and was wearing an Islamic head-dress while his passport photo showed him bare-headed and clean-shaven."
CAIR was named by the Justice Department an unindicted terror-funding co-conspirator in the largest terror-funding case in USA history
more than a dozen of its leaders have been charged and/or convicted of terrorism-related crimes
