Religious freedom is Free?
I’m worried about American citizens who take religious liberties without any consideration. Every God-fearing American who is detached to his right of criminal assembly, who’s detached to the support of a church or synagogue by means of attendance and tithes, and who neglects to hope every day for the continuance of non secular freedom is unwittingly putting America’s religious liberties in jeopardy. By his failure to participate actively in faith, he’s sending a message to American lawmakers, and to the world at massive, that worship by using loose expression and loose meeting isn't always very important. It’s thrilling that maximum Americans claim to be Christian. If we are, then why aren’t our Churches and synagogues reflecting these numbers of supporters? Americans should use or we are able to lose our First Amendment right to religious liberties. These valuable rights are privileges, not mandates.

A relatively slow week in Congress, with only 12 votes cast and only five of them party line. As usual, Steil voted with the Republicans 100 percent of the time during the first week of March.

EB-1to EB-5 is the mainstream because many of us don’t have a relationship with the United States. EB represents employment-based, which means the immigration category is based on employment relationships.
The Comprehensive Report of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (1)
I believe many of us who are not born in the United States are very interested in immigrating to the United States. So, I tried my best to write this post to give you a comprehensive of the system of the United States Immigration Services. I will explain it in terms of various types of visas, immigration methods, scheduling, birth tourism, and finding a job in the United States after graduation for the international students. Although birth tourism is prohibited on 23rd January 2020, the practice of traveling to the United States to give birth is fundamentally legal.

Warning: there is math ahead. I will do most of it for you, but still... fair warning. TRILLION!!! Trillion. A word meaning a number. A large number but do you know how large? Do you know how long a trillion seconds is?
Jack DrakePublished 2 years ago in The SwampAs Expected, Joe Manchin "Killed" Biden's Transformative Spending Bill. What Is Next For Democrats and Joe Biden?
As the news from the United States is all about the Democratic Senator, Joe Manchin, announcing that he would vote against President Biden’s “ambitious” spending bill, there is a sense of Deja Vu and much “we told you so” reactions from Democrats and other progressives, who along were predicting this outcome, and warning against “humoring” Manchin beyond a point. Indeed, if not anything, this “blindsiding” of the Democratic agenda by “one of their own” fits into a broader pattern of American politics, where anything remotely to do with helping the less privileged immediately is shot down as “socialism” and raising the bogey of profligate Democrats, as opposed to fiscally prudent Republicans. Never mind that the same Republicans have consistently voted to pass Tax Cuts and other such laws, with the presumption of the failed Trickle Down Economics and Supply Side Economics.

Photo by Tony Fischer If Indian Point happens to spring a leak, the signal will sound, everyone can check the wind and just drive in the opposite direction. As ridiculous as we all know that sounds, the direction of the plume isn't even accounted for in the event of an emergency. "All roads will be directed south," says environmental educator and activist, Dr. Susan Rubin. In response, the environmental activist has just made a short stinging documentary on the grossly inadequate plan our leaders have devised.

The House cast 37 votes that were non-partisan in December. Rep. Steil voted with the sensible majority on all of them, so there isn’t much news there. But in the interests of full coverage, here are the mostly mundane votes the House cast during the first two weeks of December.
John HeckenlivelyPublished 2 years ago in The SwampBryan Watch: November 2021
Note: I am starting with Week 3, as it contained the biggest vote of the month, on Build Back Better. Overall, there were a total of 44 votes in November, 14 were party line, 30 non-party line. Rep. Steil voted with the Republicans 100 percent of the time in November, never thinking for himself at all.
