How the Nazis Got to New York: Immigration Fraud

The 95-year-old Nazi deported from Queens this week made his way to the United States with help from two other fellow SS soldiers.

"Records unearthed by Department of Justice investigators in Prague indicated that both Mr. Palij and Mr. Bilaniuk had volunteered to serve in the SS in February of 1943."
"He was twenty when he volunteered."
Germany had been winning for four plus years.

The war in the Levant will continue without help.

For Female Candidates, Harassment and Threats Come Every Day

The abuse already common in many women’s everyday lives can be amplified in political campaigns, especially if the candidate is also a member of a minority group.

Misogyny is an easy tool of political opposition.
It is easier for reactionaries.

Many Catholics are frustrated by the church’s leadership. This is especially true in Donegal, where Francis reappointed a bishop who shielded a notorious pedophile priest.

The pope will try to do his assigned work.
The bishops will try to do nothing.
"Short Eyes" will be less tolerated.
The monks will help.

Kremlin Sources Go Quiet, Leaving C.I.A. in the Dark About Putin’s Plans for Midterms

The spy agency does not believe its Russia informants have been killed, but sources have gone largely dormant amid heightened scrutiny and rising threats.

"Informants close to Putin are very rare, according to current and former officials. The United States, in recent years, has had only a few, and at times been reliant on only one or two for the most important insights on Mr. Putin, according to former officials. If those people go silent for their own protection, it can make it very hard for the agency to look inside Moscow."

Elected officials should require Orthodox Jewish schools to meet legal standards.

If the yeshivas do not try to meet state standards they should receive no state money.
