Immigration agency reverses, says it will still approve leniency for deportations - Washington Times
Immigration agency reverses, says it will still approve leniency for deportations - Washington Times:
Homeland Security announced Monday that it will once again begin approving petitions for a stay of deportation for hardship cases such as major medical problems, after being hit with a ferocious backlash when it stopped taking the cases.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said it will still consider “limiting” its role, but said it will go through all the cases that were pending as of Aug. 7, which is when the decision was first made to halt deferred action for all but military families and illegal immigrant “Dreamers.”
Deferred action is a grant of a stay of deportation. It’s perhaps best known as the mechanism President Barack Obama used for his deportation amnesty for Dreamers — DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — but it’s long been a more limited power the government has had in other cases.

"There are two separate almanacs, the Farmers’ Almanac and the Old Farmer’s Almanac, both of which have a very similar outlook for this coming NH winter.
Where warm-mongers NOAA have forecast a rather mild winter-season with average precipitation (no surprises there), both of the Almanacs have gone for “freezing, frigid, and frosty” conditions and have called for a “never-ending winter.”
- Unlike the Old Farmers’ Almanac, which makes weather predictions through a combination of animal signals, chicken bones, pig spleens and other weather lore,
- the Farmer’s Almanac bases its outlook on a “mathematical and astronomical formula” dating back to 1818 that takes sunspot activity and other astronomical anomalies into account, making it far more reliable, in my opinion. It is this annual periodical that’s predicting a “polar coaster winter.” “Freezing, frigid, and frosty” are other terms it opts for when describing the upcoming season, especially for areas “east of the Rockies all the way to the Appalachians.”

Delusions and Delusional Disorder. Excerpts in italics with my bolds.
Delusions are the main symptom of delusional disorder. They’re unshakable beliefs in something that isn’t true or based on reality.
...in some cases, people with delusional disorder might become so preoccupied with their delusions that their lives are disrupted.

What Are the Complications of Delusional Disorder?
- People with delusional disorder might become depressed, often as the result of difficulties associated with the delusions.
- Acting on the delusions also can lead to violence or legal problems. For example, a person with an erotomanic delusion who stalks or harasses the object of the delusion could be arrested.
- Also, people with this disorder can become alienated from others, especially if their delusions interfere with or damage their relationships.
...Unfortunately, many people with this disorder don’t seek help...

Major U.S. city bans Christian agencies from helping kids - WND
Major U.S. city bans Christian agencies from helping kids - WND:
CSS has charged the city's policy is motivated by religious hostility, and foster mother Fulton has argued the policy causes "harm and heartache."
"What justice is there in taking stable, loving homes away from children? If the city cuts off Catholic Social Services from foster care, foster moms like me won't have the help and support they need to care for special-needs kids," said Fulton. "I have relied on Catholic Social Services for support for years, and the city is taking away this help and causing harm and heartache to countless families like mine."

A quote from After America:
One fifth of British children are raised in homes in which no adult works. Just under 900,000 people have been off sick for over a decade, claiming 'sick benefits', week in, week out for ten years and counting.
By 2012, one tenth of the adult population had done not a day's work since Tony Blair took office on May 1st 1997 - a decade and a half earlier.

The Morning Briefing: Grande Order of Fake Outrage Edition
- Feelings...Nothing More Than Feelings
We've discussed the permanently aggrieved nature of the modern progressives before.
...especially with their ability to concoct outrage and/or resentment in almost any given situation.
Take, for example, the young women's rights writer for The Guardian, who finds the Starbucks policy of asking for people's names a trigger for resentment.
Never mind that she doesn't even go to Starbucks, which she readily admits at the top of the article.
One doesn't need something as mundane as firsthand experience to take offense to things that aren't really offensive in the first place:
I do not drink the coffee in Starbucks because it doesn’t taste good. But even if I did, I wouldn’t, for another reason: my name. Because if you’re a half-Turkish, half-Iranian second-generation immigrant like I am, it means you have a name that few can pronounce... I’d rather not have to go through the rigmarole of painstakingly spelling it out to a barista..."Read all.
New York is running out of fuel, power — just as Cuomo planned
New York is running out of fuel, power — just as Cuomo planned"Gov. Andrew Cuomo doubled down last week on his blame-the-messenger approach to New York’s growing shortage of natural-gas supplies by ordering the Department of Public Service to “broaden its investigation” of National Grid and threatening to “find another franchisee.”
Anything, rather than admit that his own policies are at fault.
The utility has stopped taking new gas customers in parts of Long Island, Brooklyn and Queens where it can’t handle the new demand — because Team Cuomo vetoed the proposed Williams pipeline to bring in supplies from New Jersey.
(Jersey is also blocking the pipeline, since Gov. Phil Murphy is appeasing the same green extremists.)
National Grid gave months of warning that it would need to impose the moratorium if fresh supplies weren’t ensured.
Con Ed did the same in advance of its recent new-biz moratorium in most of Westchester, which was also prompted in good part by the nixing of new pipelines.
This is the point of the years long green war on pipelines: You can’t burn gas or oil you can’t get..."
