European Nations Are Already BANNING New Syrian ‘Refugees.’

Austria’s interim government has announced a suspension of asylum applications from Syrian nationals following the fall of Bashar al-Assad.

This decision comes after Turkey-backed rebels took control of Damascus, prompting Assad to seek refuge in Russia. The 13-year civil war in Syria has displaced millions, with 4.3 million Syrians now in European countries like Germany and Austria following the migrant crisis of 2015 and 2016.

Chancellor Karl Nehammer has directed Interior Minister Gerhard Karner to pause Syrian asylum applications and revisit previously granted cases. The Interior Ministry confirms that Karner has been asked to devise a plan for the systematic return and deportation of Syrians, though specific details remain unclarified.

The announcement has also impacted “family reunification” chain migration, which allows refugees to bring their relatives to Austria. The Austrian government has put on hold 12,886 applications, 1,146 of which are related to family reunification.

Nehammer and Karner represent the People’s Party (ÖVP), which is embracing more stringent immigration policies in response to the rise of the populist Freedom Party (FPÖ), which placed first in the country’s recent elections.

Nehammer is currently engaged in coalition negotiations with parties other than the FPÖ despite its clear electoral success. Some Austrian voters are questioning President Alexander Van der Bellen’s decision not to appoint the FPÖ to lead government formation efforts rather than the ÖV.

Terror-Struck Liz Cheney Grapples With Jail Threat.

(doubling down on stupid is not a strategy)

Former U.S. Representative Liz Cheney on Sunday issued a panicked response to President-elect Donald J. Trump’s remarks about the imprisonment of members of the January 6 “unselect” committee. Cheney, one of only two Republicans to serve on the committee, railed that Trump’s comments were an “assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our republic.”

“Here is the truth: Donald Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and seize power,” she alleged statement. “He mobilized an angry mob and sent them to the United States Capitol, where they attacked police officers, invaded the building and halted the official counting of electoral votes. Trump watched on television as police officers were brutally beaten and the Capitol was assaulted, refusing for hours to tell the mob to leave,” she continued.

“This was the worst breach of our Constitution by any president in our nation’s history. Donald Trump’s suggestion that members of Congress who later investigated his illegal and unconstitutional actions should be jailed is a continuation of his assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our republic.

”In fact, Trump instructed protestors to be peaceful and tried to arrange for National Guard personnel to be present to deter any violence well in advance.

MEET THE PRESS.

Speaking to Meet the Press, Trump accused Cheney, committee chairman Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, and others of having broken the law during their investigation, saying, “[E]verybody on that committee, for what they did, honestly, they should go to jail.” In particular, he cited the committee’s destruction of evidence after the Republican Party gained control of the House of Representatives.

However, he said he will not instruct his Attorney General or Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to investigate committee members—although “they’ll have to look at that”—instead focusing on achieving success as his form of “retribution.”

Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, has previously described theJanuary 6 Committee as a “national embarrassment,” warning their “abuse their power for the partisan persecution of their political opponents will remain a stain on America’s body politick for generations to come.”
