Biden Ensures States, Cities Have No Veto Power Over Afghan Refugees
On Thursday, though, refugee resettlement agencies told the Washington Post the number of Afghans “seeking evacuation through a U.S. visa program” is closer to 100,000 and could be as high as 300,000.
Regardless, Biden has ensured that states and local jurisdictions will not have any say in whether Afghans are resettled in their communities.
In September 2019, former President Trump issued an executive order that gave state governors, county officials, and local governments the power to veto refugee resettlement in their communities. The order was a major win for activists, specifically in Tennessee, who had fought the Obama administration for its dumping of refugees across the state without any input from the governor, mayors, and local citizens.
By January 2020, a federal judge granted a nationwide preliminary injunction — requested by refugee contractors who sued over Trump’s order — that stripped states and local jurisdictions of their veto power until the case was settled.
In early February 2020, Biden rescinded Trump’s order.
Then, in January, a panel of three judges on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, two liberals appointed by President Obama and one liberal appointed by President Clinton, upheld the previous court decision that banned implementation of Trump’s order.

Will this help or hurt Lisa?
Kelly Tshibaka looks promising and they are attempting to smear her, make something out of nothing.
Trump has endorsed her.....
“Murkowski, who was critical of former President Donald Trump, was censured by the Alaska Republican Party, which later endorsed Tshibaka in the race. Trump also has endorsed Tshibaka.”

"Ok!"
When Trump is returned to office, Palin should be appointed Secretary of the Interior.
I would rather that she not run for Senate, as Trump has endorsed Kelly Tshibaka in AK.
The Fake News has seemed to turn on Biden - at least for a few days over this Afghanistan deal. Maybe he will placate them today with his press briefing. I'm guessing the real reason they have turned is that Biden hasn't spoken to them & reaffirmed their self-importance.
Or maybe they are siding with Kamala in this Biden-Harris cat fight & are trying to expedite her takeover.

ABC News is accused of selectively editing Biden’s car-crash interview to avoid him seeming ‘incoherent and confused’
Transcripts from unaired segments reveal he mistakenly said his son Beau served in the Navy in Afghanistan not the Army elsewhere
Bwahahahahahaha!
Someone said Beau never served in Kosovo either which Bye-done claimed.
“more for the laugh factor.”
Laugh to keep from crying.
Hillary wants to know what difference it makes.
I saw the transcript of that.

Trump did a better job running things with the media trying to destroy him everyday than Biden does with the media largely serving as the training wheels for his administration
Ok, that made me snort-laugh!!
Nearly 15 Million Mail-in-Ballots Unaccounted for in 2020 Election, Report Says
Walsh Martin Walsh August 20, 2021
FTA
Almost 15 million mail-in ballots went unaccounted for in the 2020 presidential election, according to a government accountability group that specialized in electoral integrity.
Public Interest Legal Foundation filed a research brief that alleges because of the coronavirus pandemic last year, various U.S. states “hastily pushed traditionally in-person voters to mail ballots while, at the same time, trying to learn how to even administer such a scenario.”
“A ballot can be put in the wrong mailbox and land in an unfriendly neighbor’s trash. It can be thrown out with your unpaid bills. It can be left outside for the wind to carry the last mile (like seen in Nevada in 2020). Election officials simply do not know what happened. Unknown ballots are the greatest blind spot in the American electoral system,” the brief states.
PILF President J. Christian Adams, who previously served as a U.S. Justice Department civil rights attorney, said the results of their research should put an end to mail-in voting.
“These figures detail how the 2020 push to mail voting needs to be a one-year experiment,” Adams said in a statement.
Adams argued that legislation such as the Democrats’ “For The People Act” would “risk inflating these numbers even further, pushing our election system toward error, disenfranchisement, and ultimately widespread doubt about election outcomes.”
“Some of the counties with the least experience in administering mail voting rejected the most ballots nationwide. If continued, 2020-style chaos will become the norm,” he added.
The Epoch Times summarizes some of the findings from PILF:
–PILF says it had warned that lost ballots would be an even bigger problem in 2020 compared to previous years. In total, elections in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020 saw more than 43.1 million unaccounted for mail-in ballots.
–Federal data compilations show that during the 2020 election, there were 14.7 million ballots whose whereabouts were deemed “unknown” by election officials, according to the brief.
–In the 2020 election, there were 14.7 million “unknown” ballots, along with 1.1 million undeliverable ballots, and 560,814 rejected ballots.
–PILF put these figures in perspective by noting that President Joe Biden carried Arizona by 10,457 votes, yet Maricopa County, the state’s largest county, reportedly sent ballots to 110,092 outdated or wrong addresses.
–The scenario roughly repeated itself in Nevada, a state where Biden prevailed by 33,596 votes, even though Clark County “bounced” 93,279 ballots.
The report notes that many counties across the country had large numbers of “unknown” ballots.
–In California, Los Angeles County had 1,491,459 such ballots, followed by Orange County (482,940), Riverside County (454,911), San Diego County (317,614), San Bernardino County (274,937), Santa Clara County (251,840), and Sacramento County (241,367).
–Clark County, Nevada, had 724,708 such ballots. Essex County, New Jersey, had 248,290 unknown ballots, and Maricopa County had 229,123 ballots in the unknown category.
“The lesson is clear: increased reliance on mass mail voting must correlate with aggressive voter registration list maintenance,” the brief concludes.
