It boggles the mind !!! …

The latest battle over Special Immigrant Visas pitted Stephen Miller , President Trump’s senior advisor , against the Pentagon. The military brass was lobbying for 6,000 special immigrant visas for Iraqis who worked for American forces in the country. These visas were once again billed as helping “ interpreters ”.

That’s a lot of interpreters considering that there were only 5,200 American troops in Iraq.

How could there be more Iraqi interpreters for American troops than there are troops ?

The Special Immigrant Visa scam has been sold for over a decade using the same claim that it’s needed to save the lives of Iraqi and Afghan interpreters who are risking death by helping American soldiers.

In one decade , the United States has handed out 75,250 of these visas to Iraqi and Afghan employees , and their dependents. Between 2007 and 2017, they represented 1 percent of all immigrant visas.

While the media has repeatedly accused President Trump of stopping interpreters from coming to this country even though they, allegedly , risked their lives , the number of SIV visas for Afghans and Iraqis shot up from 10,681 in 2014, to 14,383 in 2016, to 18,390 in 2017.

That’s when Stephen Miller tried to slam on the brakes.

Ya gotta hit the link and read this ! … It’s NUTS !!! … It goes on to point out numerous things ;

As a measure of how bad the vetting is , Ali Yousif Ahmed Al-Nouri , the Emir of an Al Qaeda group in Fallujah , entered this country as a refugee and applied for disability … He then went to work as a military contractor on a California base , teaching soldiers deploying to Iraq about the local culture …

Was an Al Qaeda Emir employed by the US military in Iraq ? Did Al-Nouri come here on an SIV visa ? The answer is he probably did , but no one seems to be especially willing to ask or answer that question.

Bilal Abood came to the United States on an SIV visa. Like many SIV applicants , he had worked as a contract linguist in Iraq. Like most SIV applicants , he claimed to have faced threats because of his work …

Once in the United States , Abood began viewing ISIS beheading videos and tweeted “ I pledge obedience to the Caliphate Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ” That was the leader of ISIS …” The United States is the enemy of Allah ” he had said.

Jasim Mohammed Hasin Ramadon and Ali Mohammed Hasan Al Juboori , Mustafa Sataar Al Feraji , Ali Mohammed Hasan Al Juboori , and Yasir Jabbar Jasim , 5 Iraqis who who came to America on SIV visas , took part in the rape of an American woman in Colorado Springs who was abused so badly that there was blood splattered on the wall. Her mistake was sympathizing with the poor hapless refugees.

85% of SIV recipients have received refugee resettlement benefits.

Over 17,000 have been dumped in California , over 10,000 in Texas , and over 7,000 in Virginia … In Virginia, that meant that over 800 Iraqi children and almost 2,000 Afghan children became part of the system.

Meanwhile a GAO report found that 60% of SIV refugees were unemployed after three months and 94% were on food stamps.

It goes on and and on … AND ON !!! …

Total bullshit !!! … Ya know SOMEONE is makin’ money off this scam ! … People who are quite comfy knowing that they are far away from the ramifications of selfish treason to their country and fellow Americans … The one’s who deal with THEIR consequences …

But think of the cost !!! …

Like winnin’ the lottery ! ….

As per usual , I didn’t bother watchin’ the Leaf game against Carolina … I am quick to jump off the band wagon when these past ‘ promising ‘ incarnations of ‘ Cup Drought Slayers ‘ fall back into their habitual routine of collective brain fart efforts … However , I missed a rare situation that I’ve never seen in forty odd years of watching NHL hockey …

The two goalies dressed for the game , both entered into the game and were out due to injury half way thru the second !!! … Whaddya do ?! … Well … Dress the zamboni guy !!! … Enter …

David Ayres has been walking into Scotiabank Arena on most game nights for three years now , understanding there could be a one-in-a-million chance he might be called into action — but never actually believing the impossible would come to pass.

At 42 years of age , a Zamboni driver who helps chip in with coaching duties on a Bantam AA club in Whitby was summoned to throw on his goalie gear as quickly as possible because a team, the Carolina Hurricane , had no choice but to turn to an old Toronto Maple Leafs fan to help defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs.

As Hurricanes starter James Reimer got knocked out the game in the first period , Ayres was in his usual post , stuffed in the media room, watching the Hockey Night in Canada feed from his smartphone.

But when Hurricanes backup Petr Mrazek raced past the dots in an effort to beat a charging Kyle Clifford to a loose puck , and got bowled over by the Leafs winger , Ayres’ WiFi failed.

The third man up was in the dark until his phone lit up again , this time with urgent text messages from Maple Leafs scouting director Reid Mitchell : “ Get going. Get ready.”

Is this guy playing me right now ? I’m going in ? Ayres thought. And then : Let’s go!

“ F— Me!!!! ” tweeted Sarah Ayres , Dave’s wife.

We are all Dave Ayres.

Love the game. Accept that it sped by us. Get a day job. Still hang around rinks , to play , to coach , to talk puck.

Yet still wonder what it would feel like to pull on an NHL sweater , stride out in the hockey mecca on a Saturday night to stick taps and live the dream.

Get named first star. Go for a twirl.

Have the boys spray us with water and hoot and holler and hug. Crank the music to 11 and leave with a Hockey Night in Canada towel around our necks and a cocktail story that sounds like a fantasy.

He got all that … Plus the post game ‘ star ‘ interview on TV … The game puck and his Carolina jersey for the mantle piece !!! …

Cheers Dave !!! …
