First and second class passengers who arrived in New York Harbor were not required to undergo the inspection process at Ellis Island. Instead, these passengers underwent a cursory inspection aboard ship, the theory being that if a person could afford to purchase a first or second class ticket, they were less likely to become a public charge in America due to medical or legal reasons... [officials felt] more affluent passengers would not end up in institutions, hospitals or become a burden to the state. However, first and second class passengers were sent to Ellis Island for further inspection if they were sick or had legal problems.
This scenario was far different for "steerage" or third class passengers. These immigrants traveled in crowded and often unsanitary conditions near the bottom of steamships with few amenities, often spending up to two weeks seasick in their bunks during rough Atlantic Ocean crossings.

WHAT COULD GO WRONG? Maryland’s largest school district closes for Muslim holiday
Striking a blow for “fairness,” Maryland’s largest school district will be closed for a Muslim holiday next fall.
The Montgomery County Board of Education voted 6-2 Tuesday to cancel classes on the Islamic holy day of Eid al-Adha next school year. More than 156,000 students are enrolled in the suburban Washington, D.C. district, according to Fox Baltimore. It will likely fall on Monday, September 12.
Board member Jill Ortman-Fouse believes it’s about fairness.

QOTD: "The Democrats are laughing, because if Republicans join Democrats as the party of amnesty, we will lose. And you know, I understand that when the mainstream media covers immigration, it doesn’t often see it as an economic issue. But I can tell you, for millions of Americans at home, watching this, it is a very personal economic issue, and I will say the politics of it would be very, very different if a bunch of lawyers or bankers were crossing the Rio Grande, or if a bunch of people with journalism degrees were coming over and driving down the wages in the press, then we would see stories about the economic calamity that is befalling our nation.
I will say for those of us who believe people ought to come to this country legally and we should enforce the law, we’re tired of being told, it’s anti-immigrant. It’s offensive. I am the son of an immigrant who came legally from Cuba, to seek the American dream, and we can embrace legal immigration while believing in the rule of law. And I would note, try going illegally to another country, try going to China or Japan. Try and go into Mexico, see what they do. Every sovereign nation secures its borders, and it is not compassionate to say we’re not going to enforce the laws, and we’re going to drive down the wages for millions of hard-working men and women." --Sen. Ted Cruz

INDICTMENT: 17 of Hillary Clinton’s Worst Email Lies
A former assistant director of the FBI, Tom Fuentes, notes that "it’s [likely] more than a preliminary inquiry; it sounds like a full-blown investigation ...When you have this amount of resources going into it ... I think it’s at the investigative level.”Commenting at Yahoo News, commenter David proffers a fairly comprehensive list of Clinton's email lies, any one of which would have landed you or I a full-time gig at Leavenworth breaking rocks.
Scientists (and the government itself) unable to determine how many federal agencies actually exist
As bureaucracy sprawls, nobody can say with complete authority exactly how many federal agencies exist.
The twice-annual Unified Agenda of Federal Deregulatory and Regulatory Actions, which compiles agency regulatory plans in the federal pipeline, listed 60 agencies in the Spring 2015 edition, a count that can vary slightly from report to report. The Fall 2014 edition that also contained many agencies’ Regulatory Plan also listed 60.
The Administrative Conference of the United States lists 115 agencies in the appendix of its “Sourcebook of United States Executive Agencies, but notes:
MEMO TO MARCO RUBIO: It’s not the "crime", it’s the cover-up
The Rubio presidential quest has had a good few weeks—strong at the debates, sound on policy, positioned well as the conservative alternative to Trump and Carson—but the media sense blood in the water.
The immediate cause of your troubles, of course, is your credit card records—particularly your use of a Republican Party credit card from January 2005 to October 2008 to cover personal expenses while you served in the Florida House of Representatives. Some of your credit card records were obtained by the press during your Senate campaign, as the Tampa Bay Times reported last week. On Saturday, you moved quickly to address the growing “scandal” by releasing the rest of the records.

RING OF FIRE: What does the global onset of major seismic and volcanic activity portend?
Have you noticed that seismic activity along the Ring of Fire appears to be dramatically increasing? According to Volcano Discovery, 39 volcanoes around the world have recently erupted, and 32 of them are associated with the Ring of Fire. This includes Mt. Popocatepetl which sits only about 50 miles away from Mexico City’s 18 million inhabitants.
If you are not familiar with the Ring of Fire, it is an area roughly shaped like a horseshoe that runs along the outer perimeter of the Pacific Ocean. Approximately 90 percent of all earthquakes and approximately 75 percent of all volcanic eruptions occur along the Ring of Fire.
WASHINGTON POST EDITOR ADMITS: Obama’s Embrace of Terror States Will Leave a Legacy of Carnage
The Obama administration’s outreach to repressive regimes in Myanmar, Cuba, and Iran, rather than having a moderating influence, has instead allowed them to “entrench their authoritarian systems for the long term, while screening out any liberalizing influence,” Jackson Diehl, the deputy editorial page editor of The Washington Post, wrote in an op-ed published Monday.
FAILED DNC CHIEF KEEPS ON FAILING: Embrace Gun Control, Wasserman Schultz Shrieks at Democrats
At the Florida Democratic Party Convention, held October 30-November 1, Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz claimed, “The Florida Democratic Party is back and better than ever.” Also back, it would seem, is the national party’s misguided emphasis on gun control.
Speaking at a convention event held at the Walt Disney World Yacht and Beach Club Resort, Wasserman Schultz launched into an anti-gun screed aimed at getting members of her party to more fervently pursue gun control. According to the Orlando Sentinel, Wasserman Schultz demanded, “Democrats! We must close the gun show loophole! Democrats! We must require background checks for all gun purchases!” Indulging her penchant for hyperbole, Wasserman Schultz added, “We can’t sit idly by and allow thousands and thousands of lives to be mowed down!”

QOTD: "The Rouhani-Zarif façade of civility toward the West was enough to persuade the vain, delusional and acquisitive in Western leadership circles that change had finally come again to Iran. However, no amount of Persian tea or Iranian rosewater-drenched ice cream shared between Kerry and Zarif can drown out the deceptive hoax of the [agreement]. Before the ink was dry, Khamenei and the security services announced that the agreement has no standing in Iran.
To punctuate the point, Tehran arrested a prominent Iranian-American businessman, Siamak Namazi, and a Lebanese-American, Nazar Zaka, to add to its collection of fraudulently-charged hostages: Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian; former marine Amir Hekmati; Pastor Saeed Abedini, and retired FBI agent Robert Levinson.
Just in case the U.S. needed one more symbolic kick, the regime closed down the first KFC fast food restaurant in Tehran on Monday, just one day after it opened." --Lawrence A. Franklin

"US Debt Is Three Times More Than You Think" Warns Former Chief U.S. Accountant
In a shocking admission for most of mainstream America, the former U.S. comptroller general says the real U.S. debt is closer to about $65 trillion than the oft-cited figure of $18 trillion, thanks to unfunded liabilities which simply cannot be ignored. As The Hill reports, unless economic growth accelerates, he warns, "you’re not going to be able to provide the kind of social safety net that we need in this country," adding unequivocially that Americans have "lost touch with reality" when it comes to spending. As The Hill reports:

An Arab (Moslem) student addressed a question to the Hebrew University Student Association. Read the response he received:
As an Arab student, who pays 400 shekels at the start of each year, I would like to ask you: Why does the Student Association hold its ‘Student Day’ on the day Jerusalem was conquered? Why should the Student Association ignore the Arab students, who constitute a sizable percentage of the students of Hebrew University?
