And of course the Saudis' firehose of money for spreading Wahhabi crazy--which actually radicalizes people--will not be stopped up at all.

Dear @POTUS: on Holocaust Remembrance Day my synagogue told me the Syrian refugee family we're sponsoring is not coming. Go **** yourself.

Most of them were Saudi Arabia but some were from Yemen so not entirely. I suspect Saudi Arabia, which is a terrorist hot spot for sure, gets a free pass due to $$$.

Like Britain, the U.S. relies largely on the U.N. refugee agency for initial referral of refugee applicants. But advocacy and humanitarian groups say many Syrian Christians fear for their safety in U.N. camps, where accounts of Christians being targeted by Muslim fellow refugees have been recorded.
As a result, many tend to avoid registering with the agency, relying instead on networks of churches or Christian charities in countries surrounding Syria, especially Lebanon.
As a result, many may slip through the cracks when it comes to refugee admission programs in Western nations.

Original cake for Obama by Duff "Ace of Cakes" Goldman. The Trump reproduction (well executed btw) is primarily styrofoam except the icing/decorations, with a 3-inch section of cake incorporated specifically for the photo op cutting with a sword by Trump and Pence.
I see it as a decent metaphor for the incoming administration: nothing original, with virtually no substance beneath a shiny exterior.Last edited by -Jrabbit; January 30, 2017, 13:43.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

So reports that the countries selected where done so because of legislation that Obama passed but didn't execute.
"Obama signed the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act as part of an omnibus spending bill. The legislation restricted access to the Visa Waiver Program, which allows citizens from 38 countries who are visiting the United States for less than 90 days to enter without a visa."
So not because of SA oil or Trump business interests ... maybe.I drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

The Visa Waiver Program is a special exception for some nationals to not have to have a Visa before coming. Revoking it doesn't necessarily mean those countries/nationalities are more risky than anywhere else, and of course it doesn't mean that specific individuals are risky. It simply means there is no longer a special exception.Last edited by Aeson; January 29, 2017, 22:22.
