Report: Single Men from Afghanistan to Be Resettled as Refugees in U.S. After Trump Fails to Halt Australia Deal
Single men from Afghanistan are among the roughly 1,200 Middle Eastern refugees detained in Australia who have been approved for resettlement in the United States after President Trump failed to honor a commitment that he would terminate the refugee deal with the Oceania country. Former President Obama signed the Australian-U.S. refugee deal during his last months in office — promising to take 1,250 Middle Eastern refugees off Australia’s hands. The refugees – who are mostly adult males – are being held in detention centers on Manus Island and Nauru Island in Australia. Despite Trump’s original statement calling the deal “a dumb deal,” the president has now broken two long-promised campaign pledges: Throwing out deals that don’t benefit Americans and stopping the flow of foreign refugees. Already, about 54 Middle Eastern refugees from the Australian detention centers have been resettled in the U.S., although more foreign refugees will be arriving in the new year, a report by The New Daily reveals. >50 of 1,250 mostly male, Middle Eastern refugees are headed to US from Australia>@RefugeeWatcher says “worst” deal she’s seen in a decade https://t.co/8ek1PgI5lc — John Binder 👽 (@JxhnBinder) October 2, 2017 Of those arriving in the U.S. next year, at least ten single men from

O’Malley: Obama Devastated Democratic Party Like a ‘Bad Forest Fire’
Wednesday on ABC’s “Powerhouse Politics” podcast, 2016 Democratic presidential candidate and former Gov. Martin O’Malley (D-MD) said former President Barack Obama’s decision to set up Organizing for America rather than “infusing” his energy into the Democratic Party devastated the party on state and local levels like a “bad forest fire.” O’Malley said, “To put it kindly, President Obama decided to set up a separate political organization rather than infusing that energy of his candidacy and his amazing and historic victory, rather than infusing that energy into the veins of the Democratic party and making the Democratic party new and more energetic, instead the president and his people decided to set up a separate organization in ‘Organizing for America,’ OFA. I guess the president, perhaps and his people, thought their roles in history was to transform us, allow all of to transcend beyond the need for political parties. ” He continued, “So when the Republicans and their small group of very wealthy donors, who are not afraid to write big checks, saw what was happening, they immediately filled that vacuum. And in a very methodical way, fielded candidates with a whole lot of money to run for state senate, state legislators, backed candidates for governor. And they were able to wipe

“Saturday Night Live” had a message for former President Barack Obama in the form of a song called, “Come Back, Barack.” In the form of an R&B music video, this week’s SNL host Chance the Rapper, Kenan Thompson and Chris Redd said they were thankful for Obama and asked him to come back. The music video showed clips and pictures of Obama enjoying himself now that he is out of office. “Why would you leave us?” Thompson asked while talking over the song. “Oh, cause you had to because of the Constitution. But you can come back, right? Oh, you can’t because that would undermine the very institutions that we’re barely holding on to as it is? I see. I guess we stuck with this dude for a while then. Maybe you can come back and make a speech? How much would that cost? For real? Oh, no, we definitely can’t afford that.” The trio then said they would vote for Michelle Obama, Joe Biden or even George Clooney. Follow Trent Baker on Twitter @MagnifiTrent
