You talk a lot off topic. I think the largest group of immigrants are actually from Asia. I am concerned with what is happening now. Not with some literary text from before the Second World War. We have a few days to find this funding. I don’t need a biography of Putin.
Okay do nothing. Let’s not compromise. Fuck Ukraine.
I have always been talking about these people. I posted this a while ago. The immigration problem is not a tourist problem. I thought that was obvious.
About 2,200 daily arrivals are immigrants or refugees who have been invited to become permanent residents of the United States. Finally, about 5,000 foreigners make unauthorized entries each day. About 4,000 of them are apprehended just after they cross the U.S.-Mexico border. But nearly 1,000 elude detection, or slip from legal to illegal status by violating the terms of their visas. Many will remain, while others will return to their home countries.
Mostly these days I see PAs and not MDs. Less waiting time. I think the biggest problem is lack of staff.
Look the simple answer is Ukraine. You want to fund it or not? About 1500 people enter the USA daily at he border. As I said a while ago Biden has an immigration problem. He needs to solve it. You defend it but that doesn’t solve the problem.
We are not talking about people who are already here.
We are talking about the people who come everyday.
Thanks.
She seems to be preaching to the choir. Is any one else listening?
I am talking about immigrants not tourists. I supplied a bit of background so people could see the numbers.
Well you could take that any way you want.
You just take that too literally. The point is immigration. Actually the point is shutting the republicans up,
Let’s just start with agriculture. Those workers are not immigrants they are contracted labor. They come and they leave. All of that is a separate issue.
Opposition to Trumps border policies while often deserved was constantly over laid with the rhetoric of racism. So closing the border would be seen as a racial problem rather than a management problem.
Closing the border is simply a matter of not letting anyone through legally sure there would be illegal crossings but they happen anyway.
Etc. edit
Nearly 70,000 foreigners arrive in the United States every day. Most of these travelers are visitors, not settlers. More than 60,000 are tourists, business people, students, or foreign workers who are welcomed at airports and border crossings. About 2,200 daily arrivals are immigrants or refugees who have been invited to become permanent residents of the United States. Finally, about 5,000 foreigners make unauthorized entries each day. About 4,000 of them are apprehended just after they cross the U.S.-Mexico border. But nearly 1,000 elude detection, or slip from legal to illegal status by violating the terms of their visas. Many will remain, while others will return to their home countries.
Then FBI and the DOJ already have these tapes.
The democrats have made the border a problem for themselves. It doesn’t need to be.
Fmr. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, in a @wsj op-ed: "I have decided to depart the House at the end of this year to serve America in new ways."
I don’t really see the harm in closing the border for a while.
Sunny almost 70 today. Snow on Friday.
How’s the weather?
Does McConnell have a plan for the border or is he just getting in the way.
Gaza's health ministry, whose data the U.N. has deemed broadly reliable, said on Monday that at least 15,899 Palestinians, 70% of them women or people under 18 whom it defines as children, have been killed in Israeli bombardments over eight weeks of warfare.2 hours ago
Despite Gaza death toll soaring, U.S. unlikely to rethink ...
When Jamie Dimon, the chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, urged Democratic donors last week to rally behind Nikki Haley to provide Republican voters an alternative to former President Donald J. Trump, it seemed a far-fetched plea.
But at least one of the Democratic Party’s biggest financiers has already done exactly that.
Reid Hoffman, the billionaire co-founder of LinkedIn and a major Democratic donor, recently gave $250,000 to a super PAC supporting Ms. Haley, the former South Carolina governor who has gained momentum in recent weeks in the 2024 Republican primary race. The donation, which has not been previously reported, was confirmed by Dmitri Mehlhorn, a political adviser to Mr. Hoffman.
The pro-Haley super PAC, SFA Fund Inc., was asked specifically by Mr. Hoffman’s political team if it would take money from Mr. Hoffman, given that he is a Democrat who actively supports President Biden, Mr. Mehlhorn said. The super PAC, he added, said yes.
When it comes to cats and dogs you should remember cats won’t tell the cops where you hide your drugs.
Why is it no one seems to realize that God sent Covid to punish us for electing Trump?
Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney speak volumes about the cowardice of the Republican Party.
Kara Swisher: “You could come up with no women @nytimes? I have binders of them starting with Dr. Fei Fei Li.

They named their company DeepMind, a nod to “deep learning,” a way for A.I. systems to learn skills by analyzing large amounts of data; to neuroscience; and to the Deep Thought supercomputer from the sci-fi novel “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” By the fall of 2010, they were building their dream machine. They wholeheartedly believed that because they understood the risks, they were uniquely positioned to protect the world.
“I don’t see this as a contradictory position,” said Mustafa Suleyman, one of the three DeepMind founders. “There are huge benefits to come from these technologies. The goal is not to eliminate them or pause their development. The goal is to mitigate the downsides.”
Having won over Mr. Thiel, Dr. Hassabis worked his way into Mr. Musk’s orbit. About two years later, they met at a conference organized by Mr. Thiel’s investment fund, which had also put money into Mr. Musk’s company SpaceX. Dr. Hassabis secured a tour of SpaceX headquarters. Afterward, with rocket hulls hanging from the ceiling, the two men lunched in the cafeteria and talked.
Mr. Musk explained that his plan was to colonize Mars to escape overpopulation and other dangers on Earth. Dr. Hassabis replied that the plan would work — so long as superintelligent machines didn’t follow and destroy humanity on Mars, too.
Mr. Musk was speechless. He hadn’t thought about that particular danger. Mr. Musk soon invested in DeepMind alongside Mr. Thiel so he could be closer to the creation of this technology.
Flush with cash, DeepMind hired researchers who specialized in neural networks, complex algorithms created in the image of the human brain. A neural network is essentially a giant mathematical system that spends days, weeks or even months identifying patterns in large amounts of digital data. First developed in the 1950s, these systems could learn to handle tasks on their own. After analyzing names and addresses scribbled on hundreds of envelopes, for instance, they could read handwritten text.
DeepMind took the concept further. It built a system that could learn to play classic Atari games like Space Invaders, Pong and Breakout to illustrate what was possible.
This got the attention of another Silicon Valley powerhouse, Google, and specifically Larry Page. He saw a demonstration of Deep Mind’s machine playing Atari games. He wanted in.
Freed Palestinians Were Mostly Young and Not Convicted of Crimes

Israel released a total of 240 Palestinian prisoners and detainees in exchange for 105 hostages freed by Hamas during a weeklong pause in hostilities, an arrangement that diplomats had tried to extend before it collapsed into fighting on Friday morning.
A New York Times analysis of data on the Palestinians released showed that a majority of them had not been convicted of a crime. There were 107 teenagers under 18, including three girls. Another 66 teenagers were 18 years old. The oldest person released was a 64-year-old woman.
Gay republicans are pretty common. Especially the wealthy ones.
I am hearing this guy is raising more money and backers than Boebert:
Worried about the surprisingly close 2022 election and disturbed by another national news cycle focused on her public behavior, some Republican leaders in Western Colorado are taking the unusual step of lining up behind an alternative to Congresswoman Lauren Boebert.
County commissioners, donors and the state's last Republican governor have come out to support attorney Jeff Hurd of Grand Junction in his primary challenge to represent Colorado’s 3rd district.
“I think the 3rd congressional district deserves a sincere and hardworking member of Congress who will advance Colorado values with character and with integrity,” Hurd told CPR News. But he readily acknowledges how difficult it is to unseat an incumbent. “I recognize that I'm definitely the underdog here, at least to start.”
NEW: A day after Ron DeSantis debated Gavin Newsom on Fox, he suffered another brutal loss: the primary super PAC supporting DeSantis had its second major departure in two weeks. Adam Laxalt, a friend and former roommate of DeSantis, announced that he was stepping down as chairman of Never Back Down.
It’s interesting to think (hope) Trump will establish that a President is NOT above the law.
I sure Ivanka will take up the habib if she has to.
I often think the cyber truck is Musk’s Edsel but now I’m beginning to thing it’s a Delorean.
I keep hoping Santos knows things and will seek revenge.
They all need to stop this bs.
You have to wonder if Melania would wear black?
