DTV visa extension
Don't worry, they receive their orders from the elected government and do what they are told - if they don't like it or don't do their job then they get fired and replaced. -

Ice Ice Baby, Trump following through on his promises
It's Trump (and Vance) who decided to single out the case of eggs as a major campaign argument, not me. (Of ourse, they also lied about the actual price). He gets a taste of his own medicine! Ok, let's put eggs apart. He promised to bring down the price of food immediately. Did the price of most food items decrease immediately just because Trump has shown his determination to bring those prices down? -

Trump Administration Begins Deportation Flights in Message of Zero Tolerance
The White House announced that deportation flights have officially commenced as part of the Trump administration’s strategy to address illegal immigration. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated on Friday that "deportation flights have begun," releasing images of individuals boarding military aircraft. "President Trump is sending a strong and clear message to the entire world: if you illegally enter the United States of America, you will face severe consequences," Leavitt emphasized. Data obtained by Fox News Digital reveals that, over a 33-hour period from midnight on January 21 to 9 a.m. on January 22, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations arrested over 460 individuals. Those detained included people with criminal records involving offenses such as sexual assault, robbery, burglary, aggravated assault, drug and weapon violations, resisting arrest, and domestic violence. The arrests included nationals from a wide range of countries, including Afghanistan, Angola, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Senegal, and Venezuela. In one notable operation, ICE agents detained several individuals at a fish market in Newark, New Jersey. The Newark operation has drawn sharp criticism from local officials, including Newark Mayor Ras Baraka. Baraka described the raid as an "egregious act" and a violation of constitutional rights, asserting that agents conducted the operation "without producing a warrant." He highlighted the case of one detainee, a U.S. military veteran, who allegedly "suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned." "This egregious act is in plain violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees ‘the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,’" Baraka wrote in a statement. He added, "Newark will not stand by idly while people are being unlawfully terrorized." The mayor reaffirmed his commitment to protecting civil and human rights in the face of federal immigration enforcement actions. "I am ready and willing to defend and protect civil and human rights," Baraka said, underscoring Newark’s position as a city that stands against what he views as unlawful and heavy-handed tactics. The deportation flights and accompanying arrests mark a decisive step in the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce immigration laws and crack down on unauthorized entry. However, the actions have sparked heated debate, with critics pointing to concerns over constitutional violations and the treatment of those caught in enforcement operations.

Allegations Against the Biden Family: A Web of Accusations and Controversy
The Biden family has faced a barrage of allegations, primarily from Republican critics, who accuse them of corruption and profiting from Joe Biden’s political influence. These claims have gained significant attention, particularly in the wake of Donald Trump’s suggestion that his predecessor could face investigations. The accusations center around financial dealings in multiple countries and pardons issued by President Biden to several family members, including his son, Hunter Biden. In December, a month after Trump’s election victory, President Biden issued a pardon to Hunter Biden, who had been found guilty of illegally obtaining a firearm and had admitted to tax-related charges. The pardon also extended to potential offenses Hunter “may have committed or taken part in” from 2014 to 2024. On the final day of his presidency, Biden granted clemency to additional family members, including his sister, two brothers, and two in-laws, shielding them from prosecution for actions dating back to January 2014. Critics argue these actions were an attempt to protect his family from investigations into allegations of corruption tied to Biden’s tenure as vice president from 2009 to 2017. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has been vocal in leading Republican efforts to scrutinize the Biden family. Comer claims to have evidence that “at least ten members of the Biden crime family and their associates raked in over $30 million by selling Joe Biden’s influence to corrupt foreign entities and individuals in China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and Kazakhstan.” One of the most contentious allegations involves Hunter Biden’s attempted deal in 2017 with CEFC, China’s largest private energy company. An email retrieved from Hunter’s discarded laptop allegedly referenced “the big guy” receiving a 10% stake, a term Hunter’s former business associate Tony Bobulinski claimed referred to Joe Biden. While Hunter testified that the suggestion was made without his father’s knowledge and did not materialize, Comer’s investigation has identified $8 million in payments from Chinese sources to Biden family members and associates. In Russia, a 2014 payment of $3.5 million from Elena Baturina, then Russia’s richest woman, to Hunter Biden’s business partner Devon Archer has drawn attention. Republicans allege that a subsequent dinner involving Baturina, Hunter, Joe Biden, and Archer suggests a possible quid pro quo. They point to the fact that Baturina was not subjected to U.S. sanctions as evidence of potential favoritism. Hunter Biden’s involvement with the Ukrainian gas company Burisma has also been a focal point. Appointed to Burisma’s board in 2014, he earned an annual salary of $1 million during a period when Joe Biden, as vice president, was overseeing U.S. relations with Ukraine. While Republicans argue Hunter’s role was tied to his father’s influence, Biden has maintained that his actions regarding Ukraine were aligned with international consensus, including the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. Additional allegations involve Romania, where a property entrepreneur, Gabriel Popoviciu, sent $3 million to a company associated with Hunter’s business partner. Over $1 million was later transferred to various Biden family accounts. Hunter’s legal work for Popoviciu coincided with Joe Biden’s advocacy for anti-corruption reforms in Romania, prompting ethics watchdogs to question whether Hunter was hired due to his family ties. In Kazakhstan, a 2014 wire transfer of $142,300 from businessman Kenes Rakishev to Hunter Biden’s company raised further suspicion. The payment, which coincided with Rakishev’s attendance at a dinner involving Joe and Hunter Biden, was allegedly used by Hunter to purchase a luxury car. President Biden’s decision not to pardon himself leaves him exposed to potential investigations should the Trump administration or a Republican-led Congress pursue the allegations further. James Comer has argued that Biden’s clemency actions represent “a confession of their corruption,” calling for continued scrutiny of the family’s dealings. Despite these accusations, Joe Biden has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, emphasizing during a 2020 presidential debate that his family did not profit from his political role. The ongoing investigations and political rhetoric surrounding these claims ensure they will remain a contentious issue in the public and political arenas. Based on a report by The Times 2025-01-25 -

WHO Implements Hiring Freeze and Travel Restrictions Following U.S. Withdrawal Announcement
The World Health Organization (WHO) has taken swift measures to address financial challenges brought on by the planned withdrawal of its largest funder, the United States. According to an internal email obtained by POLITICO, the organization is freezing recruitment and cutting travel expenditures as part of broader cost-saving initiatives. In a message to staff sent on Thursday night, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus expressed regret over the U.S. decision, stating, “As you know, the United States of America has announced that it intends to withdraw from WHO. We regret this decision and hope the new administration will reconsider it.” Tedros acknowledged the significant impact of the announcement, adding, “This announcement has made our financial situation more acute, and we know it has created significant concern and uncertainty for the WHO workforce.” To address these challenges, the WHO is halting new recruitment efforts except in critical areas and has instituted substantial reductions in travel expenses. Tedros outlined that all meetings must now be conducted virtually unless deemed absolutely necessary. Missions aimed at providing technical support to countries will also be limited to essential activities. Additional cost-saving measures include restricting the replacement of IT equipment, renegotiating major contracts, and suspending office refurbishments or capital investments unless justified by security concerns or cost-efficiency. The U.S. withdrawal, announced during the Trump administration, has cast uncertainty over the WHO’s operations, as the organization has historically relied heavily on funding from the United States to support global health initiatives. With these new measures, the WHO aims to navigate the financial strain while maintaining its critical work in public health. Based on a report by Politico 2025-01-25
