vdare--2020-11-20--Biden Plans Massive Immigration Treason In His First 100 Days. But Patriots Can Fight Back

Election fraud aside , Joe Biden seems poised to take the White House .
The former vice president will make immigration a top priority , and he plans a blizzard of actions to wreck President Trump ’ s achievements .
Yet immigration patriots shouldn ’ t despair .

At the top of Bidens ’ s list : fully restoring Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals , which legalizes illegal aliens smuggled across the border as minors .
Trump tried to end this program , but the kritarchs blocked him .
Biden could legalize at least 640,000 illegals and allow tens of thousands more to apply for the program .
He may also abolish Trump ’ s travel ban on terrorist , anti-American countries [ Biden plans sweeping reversal of Trump 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ CBS News , November 11 , 2020 ] .
As well , Biden will handcuff immigration law enforcement .
He aims to impose a 100-day deportation freeze as he liberalizes border controls and lowers deportations .
He also intends to reduce border security funding and stop building Trump ’ s wall .
Biden will also vows to abolish the public-charge rule that bars immigrants dependent on government assistance from obtaining Green Cards .
Trump lowered our “ refugee intake cap to 15,000 , but Biden says he ’ ll raise that to 125,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nationalities .
Trump revoked TPS for roughly 300,000 immigrants from El Salvador , Haiti , Nicaragua , Sudan , Nepal and Honduras .
Biden will restore it .
Indefensibly , he will rescind Trump ’ s “ Stay-in-Mexico ” order that forced asylees to wait below the border as claims are processed—clear evidence his goal is simply to maximize non-white presence in the U.S .
He will also ease hiring Guest Workers with greatly expanded caps—again , proof that he prioritizes non-white immigration over unemployed Americans .

And , as Vaughn observed , patriot lawfare could make these changes even harder .

Election fraud aside, Joe Biden seems poised to take the White House. The former vice president will make immigration a top priority, and he plans a blizzard of actions to wreck President Trump’s achievements. Yet immigration patriots shouldn’t despair. This isn’t 2013, and Trump remains the central figure of the GOP. It’s unlikely a mass Amnesty will pass, and it won’t be so easy for Biden and his Treason Lobby fellow travelers to open the borders and flood the country with new instant Democrats.
The “president-elect’s” first priority: reversing Trumpism through executive action. At the top of Bidens’s list: fully restoring Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which legalizes illegal aliens smuggled across the border as minors. Trump tried to end this program, but the kritarchs blocked him. Biden could legalize at least 640,000 illegals and allow tens of thousands more to apply for the program. He may also abolish Trump’s travel ban on terrorist, anti-American countries [Biden plans sweeping reversal of Trump's immigration agenda, by Camilo Montoya-Galvez, CBS News, November 11, 2020].
As well, Biden will handcuff immigration law enforcement. He aims to impose a 100-day deportation freeze as he liberalizes border controls and lowers deportations. He also intends to reduce border security funding and stop building Trump’s wall.
Biden will also vows to abolish the public-charge rule that bars immigrants dependent on government assistance from obtaining Green Cards. Trump lowered our “refugee ” intake cap to 15,000, but Biden says he’ll raise that to 125,000 and grant temporary protected status to more nationalities. Trump revoked TPS for roughly 300,000 immigrants from El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, Sudan, Nepal and Honduras. Biden will restore it. Indefensibly, he will rescind Trump’s “Stay-in-Mexico” order that forced asylees to wait below the border as claims are processed—clear evidence his goal is simply to maximize non-white presence in the U.S. He will also ease hiring Guest Workers with greatly expanded caps—again, proof that he prioritizes non-white immigration over unemployed Americans.
But enacting these changes won’t be painless. Most experts agree that he can’t reverse Trump’s immigration policies within 100 days or even a year, says Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies:
Some of [Trump’s policies] will remain in effect because the Biden administration will realize they are useful policies, or because they will not be able to undo them quickly because of wanting to avoid a political disaster of an influx at the border or because they receive so much push back in the form of litigation and just the fact that there is a certain amount of inertia with any government regulation. [Biden might need years to reverse Trump's immigration policies, Alan Gomez and Daniel Gonzalez, USA Today, November 12, 2020]
Of course, some changes would be easy to implement, such as revoking the travel ban. Others, such as halting wall construction and eliminating the public charge rule, not so much. And, as Vaughn observed, patriot lawfare could make these changes even harder.
Still, Biden has delivered a loud and clear message: He will fully exploit his executive powers to loosen immigration laws and open the border to bring in more Democrat voters. A quick glance at his website makes that clear [The Plan for Securing Our Values as a Nation of Immigrants, Biden.com].
The legislative side is a tad more difficult. Biden will try “Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” a.k.a. Amnesty. This was one of Barack Obama’s chief priorities after he crushed the repellent Mitt Romney in 2012. But then Republicans were being told by their leaders that their political survival required legalizing millions of illegal aliens. Most don’t believe that now, given Trump’s at-least-respectable performance, the better-than-usual-for-the-GOP minority vote, and its unexpectedly strong Congressional performance.
Needless to say, Sen. Lindsey Grahamnesty thinks he can find “common ground” on the topic with Biden, he told reporters last week. That’s hardly news. He’s a longtime immigration booster who helped craft the Gang-of-Eight Amnesty.
More surprising are the two senators who voted against it and now wish to deal with the Democrats.

Cornyn is former majority whip and a powerful voice in the GOP caucus. Just a month ago, he publicly attacked Trump and said he disagreed with the president about his immigration policies.
Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, incoming chairman of the Senate immigration committee, also backs a “bipartisan plan.” He has been considered solid on the issue and, earlier this year, was one of the four senators who urged Trump to extend and expand his immigration moratorium. Now, he wants to “avoid the extremes” in the debate, as The Hill’s Carney reported, by which he means people who want to deport all illegal immigrants and those who “want people to be citizens yesterday.”

During the Gang-of-Eight Amnesty fight, Fox News’s primetime star Bill O’Reilly endorsed it and Sean Hannity considered supporting it [What Bill O'Reilly Got Out of the Immigration Deal, by Elspeth Reeve, The Atlantic, June 21, 2013]. Now, a few senators talk about a vague deal with Democrats, but they face a hostile media. No. 1. is Tucker Carlson, who would eviscerate any Republican who dared entertain it.
And Trump won’t go away, either. He will likely oppose Amnesty as an affront to his legacy. With just a few tweets, he could have the base blow up the phone lines on Capitol Hill.
Republicans surely know Amnesty doesn’t help win votes, and the base would be furious—and unwilling to show up for the midterms, especially if Trump tells them to stay home. It would simply reward Biden and the Democrats with a massive legislative victory.
Of course, Ruling Class Donors would be happy,
Another problem with an Amnesty deal: the Nutocrat Left. It finds Comprehensive Immigration Reform an abhorrent idea because it concedes too much to Republicans. Leftists don’t want any deal that would increase border security, deportations, or punishments for illegal immigration. Their plan is the “Here-To-Stay” platform, which means citizenship for all illegals, no deportations, detention eliminated, and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement [Biden Wants Another Crack at 'Comprehensive Immigration Reform' But Activists Are Wary of Past Failures, by Adrian Carrasquillo, Newsweek, November 12, 2020].
Not a single Republican would vote for this. But Biden is afraid of the Left. Unclear is what Republican traitors would get in exchange for Amnesty.
The only bill that might succeed: the Amnesty reserved for “Dreamers”—PC code for illegal aliens who came here as (allegedly) kids. But Trump tried this in 2018, and Democrats refused any compromise in exchange, such as full funding for the wall or eliminating chain migration. Biden won’t likely offer anything in exchange for a DREAMer Amnesty. Conservatives would probably swing hard against the legislation and force Mitch McConnell to kill it.
Speculation aside, remember this: Biden is the most Open Borders president ever. Amnesty advocates will oversee his transition teams for the departments of Homeland Security and Justice. They will favor legal and illegal immigrant interests over Americans [Biden’s picks for transition team the latest sign of a radically different approach to immigration, by Adam Shaw, Fox News, November 13, 2020].
In other words, Biden and his gang will quicken the Great Replacement—unless patriots stop it.
GOP lawmakers must go to war against Sleepy Joe. Republican Attorneys General and conservative law firms must sue over every immigration policy change, just as leftist Treason Lobbyists did for the last four years.
McConnell loves to tout his judicial appointments. Let’s see some action opposing Biden on Open Borders.
Republicans can defend their base from demographic replacement, or they can play nice and ensure their own political doom.
Biden’s handlers have their plans. Republicans need plans too.

There is convincing evidence that the Democrats' large scale voter fraud in at least six key states overturned a Trump landslide victory. Notwithstanding, most of the lower federal courts that will hear suits to overcome the fraudulent results are controlled by the Left and are likely to rule against the President. It remains to be seen whether the three allegedly conservative Supreme Court Justices that Trump appointed will stand fast with Justices Alito and Thomas, or cave to establishment pressure like nearly all Republican appointees have done on issues that really matter.
There is, however, one thing that he could do, and which I recommended earlier—release the secret Martin Luther King records that Congress sealed for 50 years to keep the truth about King from coming out. Certainly somebody loyal to Trump must know where they are kept. Trump should send U.S. Marshalls to the storage site to seize the documents and bring them to the White House, where they could be scanned and posted online, with the exception of any pornographic images. There is no longer any need for Trump to keep the lid on the King records for fear of losing black voters, especially since he did no better among blacks in 2020 than he did in 2016.
If he were to do this and in the process discover how easy it is for a President to release material kept secret by the Deep State, he could send Marshalls to the FBI to seize the FBI's files on Congress, the Obamas, the Clintons, and the Bidens for immediate release.

Mexico 's ambassador thinks Biden will soon be in the White House , and smells blood .

The U.S. immigration system “ has to be based on facts and realities , ” Ambassador Martha Bárcena Coqui told a forum arranged by the National Immigration Forum ( NIF ) .

We have underemployment way too high .
We have American citizens hurting .
We absolutely @ @ @ @ @ @ @ — and certainly don ’ t need to give amnesty and taxpayer benefits to people who came here illegally .
If Mexico thinks its plan is to just open up its own southern borders in the hopes that America will open our southern borders , that ’ s just going to reignite the caravans .
I hope that the Biden administration is planning for that because that ’ s not going to go well , and 2022 is not going to go well for Democrats .
The Mexican ambassador talked about `` root @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these migrations have [ not ] disappeared .
On the contrary , we are seeing pent up , building pressure .

Ambassador Barcena has plenty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will our government be doing about immigration in the next few months ?
This is yet another reason it would be better to have Trump than Biden in the White House .

Mexico's ambassador thinks Biden will soon be in the White House, and smells blood. From Breitbart:
The United States should reopen itself to migration, amnesties, refugee inflows, asylum seekers, and more temporary contract workers, Mexico’s ambassador to the United States said Tuesday [November 17]. The U.S. immigration system “has to be based on facts and realities,” Ambassador Martha Bárcena Coqui told a forum arranged by the National Immigration Forum (NIF). She continued: ‘The facts and realities is the need to protect the most vulnerable, the need to keep open the generosity towards refugees, the need to recognize the complementarity of labor markets and demographic profiles, the need for temporary workers in the United States.” [Mexican Ambassador: Let’s Restart Mass Migration into U.S. , by Neil Munro, Breitbart, November 19, 2020]
So here she is in a public, pro-immigration forum, on U.S. soil, telling us what we should do.
Is she authorized by the Mexican government to say this? Mexican President AMLO has not recognized Biden as President-Elect and says he doesn't want to meddle. [See Mexico’s AMLO Still Hasn’t Congratulated Biden. Maybe He Knows Something About Vote Fraud]
Anyway, she's saying it.
The Mexican ambassador also said that
The United States should not view migration as a security threat, she said, adding, “If you conceptualize migration as a national security issue, if you [push for] securitization of migration, and what is even worse, if you criminalize migration, then your approach always be policing, contentious [and] reduction of migration. So what we need is really to conceptualize migration … as an economic and social and political phenomena.”
The article quotes Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies:
“With all due respect to Madam Ambassador, she should mind her own country’s business, not ours."
And Rosemary Jenks of NumbersUSA:
You know we have the pandemic still raging, we have economic lockdowns still going on, we have unemployment way too high. We have underemployment way too high. We have American citizens hurting. We absolutely do not need to reopen mass immigration — and certainly don’t need to give amnesty and taxpayer benefits to people who came here illegally. If Mexico thinks its plan is to just open up its own southern borders in the hopes that America will open our southern borders, that’s just going to reignite the caravans. I hope that the Biden administration is planning for that because that’s not going to go well, and 2022 is not going to go well for Democrats.
The Mexican ambassador talked about "root causes":
The root causes of these migrations have [not] disappeared. On the contrary, we are seeing pent up, building pressure. People cannot move now because of the restrictions on movement because of the pandemic. But the root causes are still there, [for example], the drought in Central America … a hurricane in Nicaragua and Honduras that have totally flooded Honduras.
There is a never-ending list of "root causes" that can always be used by the open borders crowd.
Ambassador Barcena has plenty of suggestions for our country:
The United States should amnesty many illegal migrants from all over the world, she said, and also import more migrants by accepting asylum applications at U.S. embassies, so the world’s migrants will not have to travel through Mexico. “What we would like to see, of course, is that the U.S. embassies in Central America could process even more of these requests for asylum, instead of having people crossing through Mexico and asking for asylum at the border.”
What will our government be doing about immigration in the next few months?
This is yet another reason it would be better to have Trump than Biden in the White House.

Megyn Kelly said she yanked her two young sons out of their “woke” Upper West Side private school — where a letter allegedly circulated accusing white people of “reveling in state-sanctioned depravity” and comparing white children to “killer cops.” The offending letter made its rounds among the school’s “diversity group,” which included Kelly and other white parents, following the police-involved death of George Floyd in May, the former Fox news and NBC News host claimed. “After years of resisting it, we’re going to leave the city,” Kelly said on Monday’s episode of her new podcast, “The Megyn Kelly Show.” Kelly went on to read directly from the letter written by Nahliah Webber, executive director of the nonprofit Orleans Public Education Network, and posted on a blog titled “If You Really Want to Make a Difference in Black Lives, Change How You Teach White Kids.” “There is a killer cop sitting in every school where white children learn,” the June 29 post says.“They gleefully soak in their whitewashed history that downplays the holocaust of indigenous native peoples and Africans in the Americas.

Republicans overwhelmingly want Donald Trump to continue to fight the perceived vote fraud in an election they view as crooked:
From these graphs we can deduce that something like 10% of Republicans and independents doubt the election was on the up-and-up but want Trump to concede anyway. “For the good of the country”, it is common to hear these Washington Generals say.
This national split exists despite a full court press from all the approved sources of information and entertainment to treat the election results as final and Trump’s refusal to concede as dangerously dictatorial. Half the country is impervious to the mendacity–and the veracity–of the corporate media. It is incorrect to say the media has no influence. That suggests indifference. Instead, the media’s influence is negative. If the media reports it, half the country assumes the opposite to be true.

vdare--2020-11-20--Dem “Coalition Of Fringes” Fault Line Just Like Cold War Communism’s. What A Surprise!

The recent rhubarb in the Democratic Party between “ Progressives ” and “ Moderates ” over a sub-par performance in Congressional elections highlighted one of the major divisions within what Steve Sailer calls the “ Coalition of the Fringes ” —the division between Hard Left socialists and managerial neo-liberals .
The post-Americans who want to rule over us apparently can ’ t get along .

As they see it , the much anticipated “ Blue Wave ” they had hoped for broke up on the shoals of utopian radical positions pushed by the Hard Left .
Representative Abigail Spanberger ( D-Va ) , for instance , bluntly told AOC and her fellow “ Squad ” members that “ No one should say ‘ defund the police ” ever again.
” [ Dem leaders warn liberal rhetoric @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Caygle and Sarah Ferris , Politico , November 5 , 2020 ] But AOC and company were having none of that .
Squadette Rashida Tlaib ( D-Mi ) fired back , telling Politico that dropping such anti-police rhetoric would amount to her and her constituents being “ silenced ” .
And AOC herself didn ’ t want to hear anything but tough talk from her party .
She opined that the Dems should “ take off our gloves ” in dealing with the Republicans .
[ Tlaib lashes out at centrist Dems over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t be silent ’ , by Laura Barrón-López and Holly Otterbein , November 10 , 2020 ] Meanwhile , Bernie Sanders promised to introduce a Leftist agenda for Biden ’ s first 100 days in office into the Senate , and Leftists like the “ Justice Democrats ” and the “ Sunrise Movement ” mobilized to push their own lists of candidates for cabinet positions .

The MSM ’ s propaganda encouraged the Bolshevik wannabes of AntiFa and the fanatics of BLM to enact their own revolutionary dream by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ orgy of destruction , including brazenly attacking Trump supporters , murdering at least two of them .
The Moderates did their part by ritually donning masks—COVID-19 itself has been deemed racist , a weapon in a persistent attack on “ people of color ” —wrapping themselves in Kente cloths , and taking a knee .

Your humble servant , for instance , once reviewed David Priestland ’ s magisterial history of Communism , The Red Flag [ Who Won the Cold War ?

From my review in Chronicles : Much of the book @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Communist movement between what Priestland calls ‘ modernist ’ / ‘ technocratic ’ Marxism and a ‘ romantic ’ current , revealing a tension between the desire for material abundance ( Viewed by the modernist school as achievable only by industrialization , centralization , and bureaucratization ) and a utopian vision of society unencumbered by hierarchy and distinctions between individuals , with the “ vanguard part ” leading the way to perfect equality and , revealing Communism ’ s bohemian intellectual current , self-realization .
Thus , the tensions between the Stalinists and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of official Communist party propaganda and the t-shirted would-be Che Guevaras ’ of 1968 .
But the two strains co-existed to one degree or another , even in Stalin ’ s USSR , where the “ Man of Steel , ” like Mao and Pol Pot in other periods , portrayed the transformation of society and the USSR ’ s modernization as chiefly an act of will .
That romantic view , together with the conspiratorial origins of the party in Russia ( a model followed across the globe ) , fueled the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” “ self-criticism ” and re-education efforts in Mao ’ s “ Great Leap Forward ” and “ Cultural Revolution , ” as well as Pol Pot ’ s anti-industrialization in the killing fields of Cambodia .
Transforming society and human nature required mass terror and social upheaval , whether the goal was modernization or Communist anarchy .
The managerial globalists are thus reminiscent of the technocratic strain in international Communism , and its goal of worldwide bureaucratic rule under the auspices of the party .
The globalists would also install a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ international organizations like the WTO and WHO , as well as multi-national corporations .
The Antifa/BLM mob represents the anarchic , romantic current on the Left .
Which group is actually the “ vanguard ” of the global revolution is a matter of one ’ s perspective , yet their respective goals are very much like the those of , on the one hand , technocratic Communism and , on the other , of the romantic , anarchic Leftists of the past .
Priestland also detected a utopian messianic impulse among both Neo-liberals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dots , identifying neo-conservatism as originating on the left .

That , and/or an effort by the Moderates to rein in the Hard Left , may precipitate a split that could offer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We must know our enemy to fully exploit such an opportunity , or even understand when one presents itself .

Thus, the tensions between the Stalinists and Maoists, the cult of the Leader of official Communist party propaganda and the t-shirted would-be Che Guevaras’ of 1968.

In states dominated by one major metropolitan area ( think Chicago , New York City , Philadelphia , Northern Virginia , Portland , Seattle , Atlanta and Denver ) turning otherwise solidly—or right-leaning—conservative states into Democrat strongholds , there are only three options : move ; accept domination by the Left and stay put ; or watch as individual citizens collectively push to secede to a state nearby more friendly to your politics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ option is on the table : People in two counties in rural Oregon voted to push their lawmakers to consider moving their communities into Idaho , which they say is more representative of their political views .

Earlier: Oregon State Secession Happening As Predicted...Because Portland Doesn't Represent Rural, AKA Real Americans In Oregon
So, what does the future bring for those citizens of a state completely dominated by Leftist politics and Democrat-controlled state legislators and governors' office?
In states dominated by one major metropolitan area (think Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Northern Virginia, Portland, Seattle, Atlanta and Denver) turning otherwise solidly—or right-leaning—conservative states into Democrat strongholds, there are only three options: move; accept domination by the Left and stay put; or watch as individual citizens collectively push to secede to a state nearby more friendly to your politics.
More and more, the latter option is on the table:
People in two counties in rural Oregon voted to push their lawmakers to consider moving their communities into Idaho, which they say is more representative of their political views. Oregon Public Broadcasting reports the chances of Jefferson and Union counties joining Idaho are slim as it would require votes by both Oregon and Idaho legislatures and the U.S. Congress. Supporters have been working for several years to build momentum for shifting Oregon’s border to put some of the state’s more rural, and politically conservative, counties to Idaho. They say that, because state politics are dominated by more populous - and more politically progressive - communities along the Interstate 5 corridor, large swaths of the state are ignored. [2 Oregon counties continue push to join Idaho: Residents in two rural counties want to move their communities into Idaho, which they say is more in line with their political views., Associated Press, November 15, 2020]
Call this a huge white pill out of Oregon, and a reminder of people living in California, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Virginia, Washington, and Colorado should be thinking. Just imagine a push by citizens of North Georgia to secede from the growing control diverse Metro Atlanta has over the state, and become part of Alabama or Tennessee?
Same with the entire state of Virginia, outside of Northern Virginia, with a push to join West Virginia.
Nothing is impossible in politics, and as we see in Oregon, people yearn to be free of the vise major metropolitan areas have on the entire state.


vdare--2020-11-20--Patrick J. Buchanan: Is Trump Exiting Afghanistan—to Attack Iran?

With the Pentagon 's announcement that U.S. forces in Afghanistan will be cut in half—to 2,500—by inauguration day , after 19 years , it appears the end to America 's longest war may be in sight .
The Pentagon also announced a reduction of U.S. troop levels in Iraq to 2,500 by mid-January .
In 2003 , we invaded and occupied Iraq to remove a perceived threat from Saddam Hussein and to disarm that nation of weapons of mass destruction we discovered it did not have .
No WMD were ever found , and the war George W. Bush launched @ @ @ @ @ @ @ called the greatest strategic blunder in U.S. history .
These two wars , Iraq and Afghanistan , cost us some 7,000 dead , 50,000 wounded and trillions of dollars .
And as they preoccupied us for two decades , China rose to become a strategic , military and economic superpower to rival the United States .
Iraq and Afghanistan were the longest wars in U.S. history , and the most costly of the Mideast wars we have fought there , but there were others .
In 2011 , we attacked Col. Moammar Gadhafi @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Libya 's civil war .
We intervened on the side of the rebels in Syria 's civil war .
We assisted Saudi airstrikes in Yemen after Houthi rebels arose up in 2015 to dump over a Saudi-backed regime .
Over two decades , Arabs and Muslims have died in the hundreds of thousands from these wars .
But what have any of these wars availed the USA ?
Libya is split between a Turkish-backed government in Tripoli and Russian- and Egyptian-backed rebels under Gen. Khalifa Hifter in Benghazi and the east of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Assad has largely won its civil war , thanks to timely and decisive intervention by Russia , Iran and Hezbollah , which came to the regime 's rescue when it was on its last legs .
Today , Iran-backed militias in Iraq with ties to Tehran have far greater influence in Baghdad than Iran did before the Americans arrived in 2003 .
And the Americans are now going home .
In Afghanistan and Iraq , Trump is terminating the U.S. presence .
It is impossible to believe a President Joe Biden would emulate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ troops into Afghanistan in some new crisis to stave off a Taliban victory .
Thus , what we are looking at is not only the end of America 's war in Afghanistan but the possible , if not probable , eventual victory of the Taliban .
If the Afghan army and security forces could not put away the Taliban with 100,000 Americans fighting at their side in 2011 , they are unlikely to do so when all of the Americans are gone .
The outcome of this war could well be a reenactment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 1975 , two years after the Americans ended their role in the Vietnam War .
Yet , as Trump is halving U.S. forces in Afghanistan , The New York Times is reporting an Oval Office meeting with his national security inner circle to discuss a strike on Iran 's nuclear enrichment facility at Natanz .
According to the Times , Trump had to be persuaded not to order the attack by Vice President Mike Pence , Secretary of State Mike Pompeo , Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller , and Chairman of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump would order an attack on Natanz seems on its face inexplicable .
The facility is under regular U.N. inspection and has never enriched uranium to the 90 % level needed for a bomb .
Even today it is enriching uranium only to 4.5 % .
U.N. inspectors have regular access to the facility .
While the small stockpile of low-enriched uranium Iran has produced is in violation of the nuclear deal , Trump walked away from that deal in 2018 .
And Tehran could return to compliance easily by halting production and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country .
As America exits from the seemingly endless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq , what strategic U.S. interest is imperiled by Iran 's enrichment of low-grade uranium to justify a new war with a nation larger , more populous and more powerful than any of those with which we have been involved in the last 20 years ?
As Trump is mulling over an attack on Iran , the Israelis are carrying out strikes in Syria on Iranian-backed militias and boasting about it .
Thus , if the election of 2020 turns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Biden taking the oath on Jan. 20 , the new president could be faced in his first days with a crisis with Iran and the prospect of a collapse of the Afghan regime in Kabul in his first year in office .

UW-Madison moves forward on plan to move 70-ton boulder seen as symbol of racist past
Kelly Meyerhofer | Wisconsin State Journal Nov 19, 2020
UW-Madison is moving forward on a plan to remove a boulder from Observatory Hill after calls from students of color who see the rock as a painful reminder of the history of racism on campus.
The 70-ton boulder is officially known as Chamberlin Rock in honor of Thomas Crowder Chamberlin, a geologist and former university president. But the rock was referred to at least once after it was dug out of the hill as a “n*****head,” a commonly used expression in the 1920s to describe any large dark rock.
The Campus Planning Committee unanimously voted last week to recommend to Chancellor Rebecca Blank that the boulder be removed from Observatory Hill. Blank has previously indicated she supports the rock’s removal, though a timeline for removal has not been established.

“This is a huge accomplishment for us,” she said on Wednesday. “We won’t have that constant reminder, that symbol that we don’t belong here.”
McWhorter also faulted the Wisconsin State Journal for printing the vulgarity in a 1925 news article.
University historians identified the news story as the only known instance of the offensive term being used.
Butcher told the committee that the rock’s removal presents an opportunity to prioritize students of color and engage in complex conversations.
The rock’s next destination has yet to be decided. Options include burying the rock at its original resting place, breaking up and disposing of the rock, or moving the rock to the Ice Age Trail.
