GOP Reps Introduce Bill to Prevent Palestinian Refugees From Settling in U.S.

Hoping to avoid a repeat of the Afghanistan evacuation debacle where thousands of unvetted Afghans were able to enter the U.S. after fleeing Kabul, GOP Reps. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) and Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) have introduced a bill to prevent refugees with Palestinian visas from resettling in the United States.
The “Guaranteeing Aggressors Zero Admission Act” — the GAZA Act — will prevent Joe Biden from issuing any visas to refugees who carry a passport issued by the Palestinian Authority.
“At a time when the threat of terrorism is not only grotesquely on display but being encouraged and justified, it is critical that we do our best to ensure the security of our nation,” Ogles said, according to Newsmax.
After the withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, it was revealed that thousands of Afghans — many who may or may not have assisted American forces during the war — weren’t even routinely vetted by the government. Vetting a non-citizen properly can take weeks. But Biden didn’t want to take the time to make sure these new arrivals from Afghanistan were who they said they were.
“Following the horrific attack by Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists on innocent Israeli civilians, the last thing America ought to do is trust identity documents issued by the radicals that oversee these territories,” Tiffany said in a statement. “We need to put our security at home first and that starts by closing the door to bad actors who might be seeking to enter our country.”
Newsmax:
The pair said the bill also takes aim at the Biden administration’s use of the Department of Homeland Security parole channel for Palestinians. Biden used the pipeline to resettle 100,000 Afghans in the aftermath of his 2021 withdrawal from the Asian country. DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas said in November 2021 that not all of the Afghans were given interviews.
That’s a situation the Republicans are looking to avoid a second time.
“At a time when the threat of terrorism is not only grotesquely on display but being encouraged and justified, it is critical that we do our best to ensure the security of our nation,” Ogles said.
I didn’t agree with Trump’s travel ban because it was far too broadly drawn and excluded far too many people. But I don’t see any choice but to support this bill.
It’s targeted to exclude Gazans — a commonsense measure given what we’ve seen and heard the last week from Gaza residents.
Those who are eager to welcome Gazans to the U.S. are sleepwalking. I don’t trust the vetting process for refugees and neither should they. When you sacrifice thoroughness for speed, it’s too easy for details to fall through the cracks.
Let Gazans go to a third country — Egypt, Lebanon, etc. From there, if they really want to come to the U.S., they can go through regular channels.
It's a nice gesture, but it's more kabuki theater. This bill - with the Murder Turtle and Chuck the Schmuck in complete lockstep about 97% of the time - will never get past the Senate and even if it did, SharterJoe will never sign it.

Speaker of the House Vote Scheduled for Tuesday, No Guarantee for Jim Jordan

First ballot scheduled for tomorrow at noon. There is the usual caterwauling from the GOP caucus and allegedly, there are 50 GOP reps who indicated via "secret ballot" that Jordan ain't their man. Source is linked within the link above, but Politico's feces is all over that piece.

Just guess what type of candy this bear stole after wandering into a gas station

The Tipton Gas Bar in Lake Cowichan on Vancouver Island recently had an early-morning shoplifter when a bear wandered into the store and perused the merchandise.
Jay deGoesbriand, who owns the store with his wife Karen, was the only person there at the time, but the door was propped open.
The curious bear very calmly walked in, meandered past rows of cold sandwiches and candy bars and only touched one thing: a bag of gummy bears.
After stealing the gummy bears, the bear proceeded to take the candy bears out to the parking lot and eat them while the store owner looked on.
DeGoesbriand told the Vancouver Sun,
This little bugger has the nerve to sit at the end of my driveway, look at me and eat it.
The bear was not aggressive at all, and apparently just had a craving for gummy bears specifically, and strangely seemed to know just where to find them in the convenience store!
Here's the news report 😂
Definitely will put a grin on your face. Check the video(s).

Protesters Interrupt Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s Speech at U. Minnesota

The University of Minnesota Law School invited Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett to speak at its Robert A. Stein lecture series.
Professor Larry Jacobs committed a horrible sin. He invited Barrett and others to speak during the “Conservative Voices” part of the series. He wanted to….bring other voices to campus!
How dare he!
Students, alumni, and activists threw a hissy fit. Over 700 petitioned the school to remove her from the series.
