TAMPA, Florida—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will open a new asylum office in Tampa on Aug. 2, in response to an increasing asylum workload in Florida.

The Tampa and Miami asylum offices will divide the state’s asylum workload. Florida currently leads the country in asylum applications filed with USCIS, and more than a quarter of the national pending caseload is from Florida residents. The addition of the Tampa Asylum Office will help USCIS resolve urgent cases quickly...

Once again we visit the timeline of Oilfield Rando for a ‘play-by-play’ of the stupidity in the Infrastructure Bill and the ridiculous things Democrats are getting away with because Republicans are basically letting them. As he points out in this thread, our GOP sadly seems more and more useless, hiding behind the excuse that they’re the minority. It’s getting old, folks. But what’s not getting old is Rando’s take on the bill. Hey, it still sucks but if we can laugh a little why not? Already found $250 million for an invasive plant species removal program lol.

It cannot be easy to lead the agency that handles infectious diseases in the midst of an international pandemic. Still, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should at least be able to prove she is up to the task. Dr. Rochelle Walensky has repeatedly proved herself unfit and unreliable. She needs to go. Perhaps her worst failure, however, was her wishy-washy approach to school reopenings. Walensky switched her position on whether social distancing in the classroom was necessary, not once, not twice, but three times. First, she said that three feet of social distancing would be...

Floridians are waiting in line for hours to get tested for COVID-19, as the state grapples with record-breaking case numbers. The line began forming around 6 a.m. Sunday at a drive-thru coronavirus testing site at Barnett Park — three hours before the Orange County facility opened, Spectrum News reported. Hundreds of cars wrapped around the site, which has recently had to turn people away before its normal closing time because it’s reached capacity, the outlet reported. “Constituents are struggling to get in & many can’t wait several hours for a test,” State Rep. Anna Eskamani wrote on Twitter.

As a 20-year member of Congress and four-year Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, let me speak bluntly and directly. Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the greatest threat to constitutional liberty in our lifetime. With the passive support of an apparently cowardly caucus, she is behaving as a dictator more like Fidel Castro, Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, or Nicolás Maduro.Pelosi ordered and kept the fencing around the U.S. Capitol for months – even when members of her own party were calling for it to come down. She stripped a duly elected Republican of all her committee assignments. In recent weeks,...

After defeating the Axis nations, Brokaw’s “greatest generation” returned home and gave birth to one of the sorriest generations ever produced, the so-called baby boomers. I am a baby boomer, and I take no pleasure in admitting that we are one decadent, whining, and spoiled group of malcontents.

This is highly troubling…. I’ll start off by saying *perhaps* there is some other interpretation to be drawn from these emails other than outright bragging about stealing an election. Maybe. I don’t really think so, but you can make up your own mind. So here’s the story…. An email was uncovered today between two elections officials in Wisconsin bragging about a late batch of ballots coming in with “just the right” number of votes to tip things over to Biden. Take a look: READ CLOSELY! Email to Claire Woodall-Vogg, the executive director for elections in Milwaukee. In the email the...

COVID-19 cases are rising sharply in the U.S., thanks to the more easily transmissible Delta variant, but while many Americans may have to mask up again, "I don't think we're going to see lockdowns," Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top federal infectious disease expert, said on Sunday's ABC This Week. "I think we have enough of the percentage of people in the country — not enough to crush the outbreak — but I believe enough to not allow us to get into the situation we were in last winter." Still, "things are going to get worse" as the Delta strain spreads,...

A team of clinician-scientists from Singapore’s National University Health System (NUHS) has found that oral hydroxychloroquine and povidone-iodine throat spray are effective in reducing the spread of Covid-19 in high-transmission settings such as dormitories, cruise ships and prisons. Their findings, which were presented to the media on Friday, were based on a study of more than 3,000 migrant workers living in Tuas South Dormitory during the height of the Covid-19 outbreak in May last year. Hydroxychloroquine is a prescription drug used to treat malaria and arthritis while povidone-iodine throat sprays are over-the-counter medications that provide symptomatic relief of sore throat....
