ONCE IS HAPPENSTANCE, TWICE IS COINCIDENCE; THREE TIMES IS ENEMY ACTION: Another Biden regency politburo member takes the Fifth Amendment in House probe.

The lede is from Ian Fleming, in the James Bond movie Goldfinger.
BECAUSE CLIMATE CHANGE: When you've got enough money to indulge your fantasies....
SUICIDAL EMPATHY AT WORK: Making the whole world a third world, one nation at a time.
TRUMP: 'No Amnesty' -- but ...

For those illegal aliens who are here but have no criminal history I would consider allowing them to stay provided (a) they - and their families - register with the government, (b) cannot ever vote in any election, (c) cannot be counted as citizens in the census, (d) cannot receive any government services, and (e) are immediately deported as a result of any criminal activity.

If they desire to become U.S. citizens, then they must leave for their home countries and then get in line with the rest of the legal immigrants.
TEXAS' BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK SUFFERING STAFF SHORTAGES - or is it?

Being a government agency, I'm sure there is more than a bit of fluff and featherbedding in the National Park Service. My granddaughter is a (seasonal) Park Ranger, having worked in the Gates of the Arctic National Park & Preserve in Alaska, Zion National Park in Utah, and now in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. According to her it's a good job, with a bit of wildlife management, rescue, and police activity as part of the job. That said, I would be a bit concerned if she were to go to Big Bend National Park, given that it is right on a Mexican border that is ill-patrolled.
