I know at least a couple of people who work for the SD, and one of them, at least, is a complete moron who as far as I can tell, only got his job because of family connections. When I say this guy is stupid, trust me, he's stupid. Nice guy, but completely brain dead. It's personal experience which has opened my eyes. Our government is a bureaucracy which oftentimes does not lend itself to efficiency and/or competency.

It’s only once instance, but several years ago I had some serious business with a consulate in a small third world country requiring several visits and interactions. The local employees were warm and genuinely wanted to help us. The American boss seem about 30 years old and was a self-important prig. He was very bureaucratic and was part of the problem, not part of the solution. I was definitely not impressed.

Nixon’s people weren’t Chicago Marxist thugs beholden to George Soros. I can only think of one way to rid the entire WH of all of them. Ernest is watching all his Bowl Games.

2010 and 2012 are not that far off. We must weather the storms then with a majority of Independent voters start the grand purge both on the Hill and the WH.

OK you get a Visa Viper but neglect to point out that he already has a visa? Good Lord what a bunch of incompetent do-the-minimum-to-get-my-paycheck government dolts.

I think I fell asleep at about 3AM this morning. Then the alarm went off at 3:30AM to get ready for work at 5AM. My eyeballs are swimming about and mind is going slow mode. So since I have to get up early again for work tomorrow let me wish you and yours a healthy, safe and content New Year.
And of course that is extended to all that read these threads.
Nighty nite.

“Abdulmutallab received his State Department visa on June 16, 2008. It was good for two years. As for what was the classification under which he applied for a visa, “We don’t talk about what’s on his application,” Kelly said. “You damn well better start talking about it because you’re about to have the hammer of God come down on your head,” a reporter responded.”

HILLARY CLINTON’S AGENCY ISSUED THE TERRORIST’S VISA

I have noted several times that the State Dept. is responsible for issuing many of the BAD visas who turn out to be jihadists or criminals. Remember this number is above those issued by USCIS. All in all, we must be issuing a couple million visas every year.(over 4 million are overstays and will be eligible for AMNESTY)
