| JUNE 27, 2024 | LORI HINZ
I haven’t seen anyone asking serious questions about North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum. Instead, those in charge of vetting Donald Trump’s potential vice presidential pick seem to be relying on voters’ impressions of an affable Midwest guy. But
some North Dakotans who know better can’t stand the thought of Bill Gates’ friend anywhere near the White House.To be fair, Burgum, a top surrogate for Trump, has a super cool self-made-man story. Chimney sweep, bet the farm and won, worked his way up and became friends with his boss at Microsoft, sold his company for $1.1 billion and stayed on to...

An incident involving a physical attack by a female Secret Service agent tasked with protecting Vice President Kamala Harris is raising questions about whether the agency had thoroughly vetted her during her hiring and whether an ongoing push to increase the numbers of women in the service and boost overall workforce staff
played a role in her selection.

| 2 Jan, 2024 | PHILIP LENCZYCKI
The Biden administration drastically simplified the vetting process for Chinese illegal immigrants in April 2023, according to an internal U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) email obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The April 2023 email, which was sent by a CBP supervisor to a “master list” of about 500 Border
Patrol agents, instructs CBP officials to radically reduce the number of interview questions for Chinese migrants apprehended after illegally crossing into the country from roughly 40 to just five. The “headquarters guidance” came as border agents were overwhelmed with near-record numbers of illegal crossings. This scaling back of...

Noble Schools is defending its hiring of Lauren “Big Boobs” Fagel. Fagel’s sister, Director of Executive Operations Brooke Sternfield Semel, is an administrator at Noble Schools. While the Chicago Public Schools code of ethics disallows siblings from serving under one another, the charter network doesn’t appear to have posted its code regarding
nepotism. The school tells Chicago City Wire it has taken the issue into consideration as well as the allegations against Fagel regarding repeated instances of sexual harassment. "Noble is firmly committed to providing a safe learning and working environment for all of its students and staff,” Claudia Rodriguez,...

President Joe Biden is seeking to provide green cards to tens of thousands of Afghans who were quickly resettled in American communities over the last eight months amid a federal investigation that found many have possible ties to terrorism and were not properly vetted. The
quasi-amnesty plan is slipped into a funding request where Biden is asking Congress to approve $33 billion in American taxpayer money to send to Ukraine.

For 22 years, Mortimer's restaurant stood as a high-society saloon on the corner of Lexington and East 75th Street in New York City. Wedged between a Catholic church and a now-defunct gay bar, it served as a private preserve for the kiss-kiss celebrity types of café society - and a launching pad
for its proprietor's swift ascent into Manhattan's beau monde. During any given lunch or dinner, one was likely to see Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis sitting pride of place by the front window devouring three little golf-ball sized crab cakes with her posse of Fifth Avenue swans that included Gloria...

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is giving temporary quasi-amnesty status to nearly 75,000 Afghans in the United States, including those fast-tracked into the U.S. over the last seven months despite vetting failures. To
date, Biden has resettled more than 85,000 Afghans in American communities across 46 states since mid-August 2021. That resettlement failed to properly vet Afghans against counter-terrorism databases, the Department of Defense’s Inspector General revealed last month.

A State Department official told Bloomberg News that Biden is looking to bring thousands more
Afghans to the U.S. for resettlement over the next six months. Currently, there are some 100,000 Afghans who have sought entry to the U.S. but who remain in Afghanistan.

A Democratic candidate for Middletown Township Committee initially denied a history of theft and forgery charges, telling party leaders a month ago that he wasn’t the same Nicholas Babcock involved in a series of crimes. Now,
one week before Election Day, Babcock has acknowledged that he did plead guilty to bouncing checks in Arizona 20 years ago and was sentenced to two years of probation. The admission comes after weeks of denials and doesn’t include information regarding additional allegations made against him by law enforcement. A records check shows that Babcock had faced theft charges in Arizona in 2002, 2004,...

WASHINGTON – All Defense Department clearance holders are now under “continuous vetting” as part of a reform to the personnel security process that determines who should have access to classified information and secure facilities, the director of the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency said Tuesday. The automated system constantly checks criminal records,
credit ratings and other pertinent information for those with security clearances to “ensure the trustworthiness of the national security workforce” and “identify and address factors that may lead to insider threat incidents,” DCSA director William Lietzau told reporters at the Pentagon.

How's that 'thorough' vetting of Afghan 'refugees' into the U.S. going, Joe?

American Thinker ^
| 3 Oct, 2021 | Monica Showalter
Some 700 Afghan unvetted 'refugees' have wandered off their U.S. military base housing, without processing. Joe
Biden, who abandoned hundreds of Americans in his disastrous Afghanistan pullout, ended up bringing in tens of thousands of random, unknown Afghans, later called "refugees," with no visas or vetting, into the U.S. instead. But not to worry. Last August, he assured: “Planes taking off from Kabul are not flying directly to the United States. They’re landing at U.S. military bases and transit centers around the world,” Biden said. “At these sites where they are landing, we are conducting thorough … security screening for...
