I have the perfect solution for screening Syrian refugees. They should be asked how old the earth is. If they answer 10,000 years or less, they will be admitted. If they say more than 10,000 years, they will be barred/rejected.
Problem solved!

The time has come to institute a required written pledge of allegiance to the USA while forswearing loyalty to any foreign state in order to be employed by the US government. In particular, this needs to be required of all senators and congressmen and women. And it needs to be enforced. We could jail a few dozen pols who seem to think it is their job to serve Israel — and this would be a gamechanger

A SPECIAL THANKSGIVING MUSICAL INTERLUDE, proudly brought to you by the purveyors of new Über-Xtreme Ziocaine™ Ultra CR (Controlled Release) Transdermal Patch: Let The Good Times Roll!℠
It’s the day before Thanksgiving I’m not feeling much of thanks
Just a low-grade desperation leaves me reeling in the ranks
Just when I think I’m getting somewhere it’s somewhere further to fall
It’s the day before Thanksgiving that is all
I don’t believe the pilgrims sat with Indians for a feast
A self-proclaimed holy savior doesn’t break bread with his beast
But then again he had a musket and the Indian had a knife
And the musket man could make him eat for life
I don’t believe this country’s manifestering destiny
Someone just cooked it up and it is fed to you and me
They tell us who to love in war and never ask for help
And they cannot stand us thinking for ourselves . . .
. . . So it’s turkey breast and stuffing with gravy on the top
Mashed potatoes, peas and dinner rolls, you use them like a mop
Got my position at the table, got a child to say my grace
And a wife and boss that keeps me in my place
It’s the day before Thanksgiving I’m not feeling much of thanks
Just a low-grade desperation leaves me reeling in the ranks
Just when I think I’m getting somewhere it’s somewhere further to fall
It’s the day before Thanksgiving that is all ~ Darrell Scott

The debate over admitting Syrian refugee has been generating a lot of windfall for the politician,self anointed TV experts and also for those who entrap and engineer false flag operations.
Goldeberg on TV managed to besmirch both US of Roosevelt( who interred Japanese and not German ) and Syrian (unlike Jeiwsh refugee ,they engage in terrorism according to him ) forgetting the history of Jewish threat to the lives of Churchill and Truman and also the history of subsequent terrorism conducted by Jewish people in US.
But what would happen if another terror attacks occur and be traced back to Syrian?
This possibility alone is good enough reason not to admit puny number of few thousands refugees when millions other refugees are being subjected to man made crisis in Burma ,Somalia,Iraq-Syria and Libya?

‘No less American than you’: Muslim woman fires back at Donald Trump with eloquent letter

TODAY
A young Muslim woman has written an eloquent response to Donald Trump’s support for a system tracking Muslims in America, saying if he walked in her shoes, “you can see that I am not any less human than you are.”
Marwa Balkar, 22, from Corona, California, took to Facebook on Nov. 20 to address the notion of Muslims potentially having to carry special IDs supported by the Republican presidential hopeful, saying she had an idea for what the badge would look like: a peace sign.
“I am not easily identifiable as a Muslim just by looking at me, so my new badge will let me display proudly who I am,” she wrote in the post, which has been shared more than 100,000 times.
“I chose the peace sign because it represents my Islam. The one that taught me to oppose injustice and yearn for unity. The one that taught me that killing one innocent life is equivalent to killing humanity.”
When Balkar initially saw Trump’s comments, she didn’t feel she could just sit back and say nothing.
“Initially, the first thing I thought of when I heard was, ‘Donald Trump is at it again,’ but then I was like, ‘Wait a minute, just because Donald Trump says it doesn’t mean it’s OK,”’ Balkar told TODAY.com. “I started simmering. All these extremists are not me. That’s not my religion. I’m tired people claiming to do these horrific attacks in the name of Islam.”
Balkar, who was born in the U.S. to first-generation Syrian immigrants, can still remember being bullied at her elementary school in Washington state after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001. She has received messages from other Muslim children fearful of the same thing happening after Trump’s comments.
“There’s a difference between disapproving in something and spreading hate, and when in you’re in such a big position of power and what you use with it is to spread hate, I find that so cowardly,” she said. “You have so much potential to change the world, and he uses it to trash not only Muslims, but the black community and the Hispanic community. All he does is trash people.”
Balkar also took on Trump’s suggestions that there should be more surveillance of Muslims and certain mosques, which came after the recent terrorist attacks in Paris by members of ISIS.
“I heard you want to track us as well,” she wrote. “Great! You can come with me on my Cancer Awareness walks at the local middle school, or you can follow me to work where it’s my job to create happiness.
“Maybe then you’ll see that me being Muslim doesn’t make me any less American than you are.”
The overwhelming response to Balkar’s message has led her to start the hashtag #FightWithPeace.
“It’s been amazing and shocking in a good way,” she said. “In my mind I thought the whole world and America had this dark view of Muslims, but a lot of the positive feedback I’ve been getting is from non-Muslims, which is so exciting.”
She thanked her supporters in a follow-up post on Monday.
“You have proven to the world that no matter what what country you’re from, what your religious beliefs are, or what your race is, we can all COEXIST.”
Balkar said she has not heard any response from the Trump campaign.
“Of course not, there’s nothing for them to say,” she said. “You can’t dig yourself out of a hole like that. He is part of the spread of Islamophobia. He should’be be allowed to be where he is in life with a mindset like that. Not in 2015 in America.”
