📈 Joe Biden has declared that the limit on refugee admissions will be doubled for the 2022 fiscal year compared to 2021, reaching 125,000 people.

The limit is spread unevenly between refugees from different regions, with Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia getting over half of the total admissions.

Latin America and the Caribbean, which are the main sources of illegal migrants at the US southern border this year, only received 15,000 spots.

😳 Bright Sheng, a professor born in Shanghai, China, screened the 1965 film Othello, starring Laurence Olivier in Blackface, for which he was removed from office following a student complaint.

More than 40 undergraduate and graduate students and staff wrote a formal response calling for Sheng to be removed from teaching at his undergraduate seminar, adding that he had failed to create a safe environment.

It seems that any professor in the US must walk on egg shells when showing students cult films that may now be perceived as discriminatory

All passengers are reportedly safe and sound

Hunter Biden was accused of profiting from his father's residence in the White House by selling his works of art for up to half a million dollars.

President Biden, who turns 79 next month, has coughed and cleared his throat repeatedly during public appearances, including at a White House lawn event.

Jen Psaki, however, assured that the president's cough is the result of an allergy, and not a more serious illness.

😒 Meanwhile, Biden has yet to live up to the tradition of publishing the results of the president's annual medical examinations...

Biden has rejected our request to withhold White House information from the House Unselect Committee investigating the January 6th protest, but has not taken a stance on the insurrection that took place on November 3rd, often referred to as the Crime of the Century. This will put the current White House in a terrible position when the inevitable request for information comes concerning the massive corruption by Hunter Biden and the already well-documented crimes committed by the Biden family, the least of which are Hunter’s paintings selling for as much as $500,000 a piece. With our Country collapsing, with our Military disgraced, with our Borders nonexistent, when will the American people have had enough?

🎀🪁❌ California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a law that forces shops to have "gender neutral" sections where children's blue and pink toys and toothbrushes are banned.

The new law is only applied to stores with more than 500 employees, meaning that you can still buy a good old Barbie in a smaller shop.
