@Dina_Albayati @itsapurdy Unfortunately , what is even more difficult and frustrating is the knowledge - now confirmed - that a significant proportion (40%, as I understand) of the random people we flew out of Kabul last August were not our Afghan Allies - SIV, P1, P2 - but corrupt Kabul elites.

1/
@Dina_Albayati @itsapurdy They shoved our Afghan Allies aside and bullied and bribed their way into the airport in front of more deserving people, who don’t need the Afghan Adjustment Act because Americans, through Congress, already decided long ago to welcome them.

2/
@Dina_Albayati @itsapurdy I find it very difficult to advocate for the Afghan Adjustment Act (AAA) for this very reason.

Furthermore, I recall concerns re criminal patronage networks (search Afghanistan Corruption in Conflict for @SIGARHQ reports) and wonder whether anyone cares any more.

3/
@Dina_Albayati @itsapurdy @SIGARHQ I wonder if a not insignificant proportion of proposed beneficiaries of the Afghan Adjustment Act were already well and unfavorably known to the USG via @SIGARHQ for this reason.

If so, I wonder why America, and Americans, should welcome them?

@LuisMorenolg @WendellAlbright @pigjowls Thank you.

I am reasonably confident that many people have taken positions on such topics without reviewing the materials, which is why I think curriculum transparency can actually be helpful to address any misconceptions on the part of the public.

1/
@LuisMorenolg @WendellAlbright @pigjowls CRT has become a shorthand for considering new perspectives on racial and other issues in our country, both now and in the study of our history.

I have found that effective training does make me uncomfortable, but the introspection is valuable.

2/
@LuisMorenolg @WendellAlbright @pigjowls Best example is unconscious bias training - excellent!

In my experience, all effective training must be well thought out.

However, the newly energized DEI consultant industry, like any other, has varying degrees of quality and effectiveness.

@HumaAbedin, thank you for sharing your story in your book.

@ScribnerBooks @simonschuster @tsgarp2000, here are fact-checking and suggested copy edits.

Page 92, I think it's "West Executive Avenue."

@WhiteHouse should please check signage for conformity.

Page 146, although our great @DeptVetAffairs supports veterans, any "discharge notice" or DD214 would be issued by the @DeptofDefense.

Page 246. Unlike organizations reporting directly to the Secretary, SRAP doesn't include the slash in its acronym.

@Maria_Hinojosa @NewYorker @JonathanBlitzer I think one key issue is the fact that the same people who want America and Americans to welcome unlimited numbers of undocumented foreign citizens, abandoning their BIPOC-led sovereign independent home countries . . .

1/
@Maria_Hinojosa @NewYorker @JonathanBlitzer . . . and hiring international criminal human trafficking organizations to guide them to our southwest border to make questionable asylum claims, then to live, at best, semi-documented, in what they constantly insist is a horribly and unredeemably racist country . . .

2/
@Maria_Hinojosa @NewYorker @JonathanBlitzer . . . . and at the same time constantly complaining about @fightfor15 and #AffordableHousing, when an ample supply of relatively unskilled labor competes with US-based including American workers who now have leverage to negotiate and get a union.

The late Rush Limbaugh asked the obvious question:

Did Hillary leave a tip?

Answer: No, as usual.

Did this affect the results?

Well, we know that in Cuyahoga County [ Cleveland ], there was a significant Presidential undervote; people filled out their ballots with their selections, but left President blank.

@nytimes @NYTimesOpEd @NYTimesOpinion should have insisted that the Chief Judge of the DC Court of Appeals acknowledge imperfections - perjury by process servers - in the DC 'justice' system.

@MarkSKrikorian @CIS_org Let’s be honest:

We know @USDOL @SecMartyWalsh won’t do anything, and won’t care.

How do we know that?

@POTUS has nominated for a Senate-confirmed position at the Labor Department Mr. @JoseJavierJJR of #Florida.

He’s a former State Senator, @FLSenateDems.

1/
@MarkSKrikorian @CIS_org @USDOL @SecMartyWalsh @POTUS @JoseJavierJJR @FLSenateDems He lost his November 2020 campaign by a handful of votes; this involved “ghost candidates” or “mystery candidates” in three Senate districts, including his #SD37.

His independent (NPA) mystery candidate didn’t live in the district, as claimed on his campaign filing documents. 2/
@MarkSKrikorian @CIS_org @USDOL @SecMartyWalsh @POTUS @JoseJavierJJR @FLSenateDems The obvious question:

When did JJR’s team first check out the #SD37 NPA mystery candidate’s claimed residence address?

June 12, 2020 filing deadline

July

August

September

October?

After he lost, journalists - no subpoena required - knocked on the door.
