Wikipedia says he died in 1922; Hitler started politics in late 1919 so it's possible they met but the window is kinda short.

This seems like a pure "brown people are bad" cartoon.

Nidal Malik Hasan (born September 8, 1970) is an American convicted of fatally shooting 13 people and injuring more than 30 others in the Fort Hood mass shooting on November 5, 2009.[3] Hasan was a United States Army psychiatrist and Medical Corps major who admitted to the shootings at his court-martial in August 2013.[3][4][5] A jury panel of 13 officers convicted him of 13 counts of premeditated murder, 32 counts of attempted murder, and unanimously recommended Hasan be formally dismissed from the service and sentenced to death.[3][6][7] Hasan is incarcerated at the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas awaiting execution while his case is reviewed by appellate courts.

It's surprising that an American cartoonist would use Dredd at all. Dredd isn't all that recognizable outside Britain.

I always get him and Marty Walsh mixed up until I remember that one of them is awesome and one of them is terrible

They have very similar names but one of them guts public transit and makes useless racist proclamations and the other one declares Godsmack Day to be an official holiday

quote:

Mayor Martin J. Walsh — who was interviewed with Baker at the State House on Monday — agreed that he wanted to know more about the federal government’s plan for reviewing incoming refugees.

“We would have to see the vetting process and what’s happening with the vetting process,” Walsh said.

But later in the day, Walsh seemed to backtrack. “As a city and as a country it is not our custom to turn our backs on people who are in need and who are innocent,” he said in a statement.

So I made this, but it felt like kind of a lazy edit. So I didn't really feel like posting it, at first.


Then I saw Rorus's latest and realized what I should have been making all along.

The French Navy, unfamiliar with the F/A-18 that have suddenly and for no explainable reason replaced their SEMs and Rafales, and being likewise deprived of bombs and missiles, are preparing to enact retribution by way of jettisonable external fuel tanks.

The Daily Mail is like a secret underground newspaper distributed by neo-nazis, right?

It's not an established paper with circulation that people read and nod along to, right? Right?

This is the worst Where's Waldo ever, especially because he's in plain sight in the middle of the picture, therefore implying that it's actually really easy to find potential terrorists in a crowd of refugees and invalidating Jarlsberg's lovely thesis.

Syrians
fleeing their country's four-year-old civil war face a series of
hurdles, and months in limbo, if they seek to end up in the United
States.
U.S.
government vetting that includes face-to-face interviews, a health
screening and security checks can take as long as two years.
A
State Department official outlined the process in a background briefing
as President Barack Obama directed his administration last month to
prepare to take in at least 10,000 people fleeing Syria over the next
year.
The United States has
admitted about 1,500 refugees since the Syrian civil war began in 2011,
while Europe is struggling with an influx of hundreds of thousands.
WHO IS IN CHARGE
The
U.S. Refugee Admissions Program includes the State Department, the
Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human
Services. They work with international organizations, non-governmental
and other groups, including religious organizations, to identify and
settle refugees in the United States.
HOW LONG IT TAKES
Processing
includes an in-person interview, medical exam and security checks. None
can be waived, as in some countries. The State Department said it takes
from 18 to 24 months or longer to process a case from referral or
application to U.S. arrival.


FIRST STEP:
Most
migrants enter the U.S. refugee program through a referral from the
U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. Some apply directly. The State
Department already has 18,000 referrals of Syrian refugees from UNHCR
and has begun casework for more than 10,000.
PREPARING THE FILE:
Applications go to
one of nine State Department-funded "resettlement support centers"
overseas run by international or non-government groups. Caseworkers, who
are not U.S. government officials, collect information from applicants.
THE INTERVIEW:
Officers
from the Department of Homeland Security's Citizenship and Immigration
Services travel from Washington to where the applicants are to decide
whether they meet the legal definition of a refugee, based on whether
they have faced or likely will face persecution.
SECURITY CHECKS:
Applicants
undergo multiple background and security checks involving the National
Counterterrorism Center; the FBI's Terrorist Screening Center; Homeland
Security; and the State Department. Details of the checks are
classified.
HEALTH SCREENING:
Applicants
are screened for diseases that might pose a threat to public health. A
resurgence of tuberculosis prompted U.S. health authorities in 2007 to
tighten testing protocols.
FINAL LEG:
After
a three-day cultural orientation class, the International Organization
for Migration, an intergovernmental group, arranges travel. The U.S.
government pays travel costs, but refugees sign a reimbursement
agreement.
