@Blind__Luck I always ask myself ' would I have regret' if this were my final moment now. If yes, go and live likewise.

Live your heart desires, and not for the future. It's good to save and plan, but there is many thing that's outside of our control.

I almost got scammed on the phone just now. They ran a good game, until I told them I wouldn’t give my credit card, then hung up.

They claimed to be from the Sheriff’s Office & I had failed to appear. Had badge numbers & ranks that at first glance seemed to check out. Address & telephone numbers given check out. One had a name of a real deputy that I found on the internet as the conversation was ongoing. They’ve done some homework.

Lots of jargon & I must admit, it sounds legit. They had my name, address & last 4 of my social…I stupidly agreed that this was my data. Dumb, dumb, dumb…how could I be so dumb?

The number has no caller ID. That should have been my first clue. I should have also figured out that if you have a warrant, they don’t generally call you. I don’t know what I was thinking.

Anyway, the scam is that you were sent a jury summons for some complicated multi-district thing. You didn’t appear, but signed it & said you would. When you say that’s impossible & don’t remember receiving a summons, they ask about any postal thefts. In my case, I had credit cards repeatedly stolen about 6 months ago. In hindsight, I also don’t think you have to sign jury summons…but I don’t actually recall. Anyway, you didn’t appear & now they want to handle it either criminally or by converting it to a civil thing.

I don’t think you convert criminal to civil, but I’m not a lawyer & these guys have a good script.

They’ll read you a bunch of prepared statements. Ask you questions. Now I’m afraid they have a recording of my voice they can use AI to manipulate. They transfer you to the guy who handles this stuff…which was suspicious, but maybe…

It’s a Captain. 🚩 Red Flag.

At this point, I took down as much info as I could…I’d been writing it all down, citation #, warrant #, the lot. I bided my time until he informed me I’d have to pay a hold until the matter could be resolved by my coming into the Sheriffs Department for a signature analysis. I told him I could come down to the Sherriff’s office right away, he said they’d have to arrest me if I showed up & I told him to fuck off. Scam confirmed.

Fees over the phone & signature analysis are both 🚩 🚩.

I called the Sherriff’s Department non-emergency line & the dispatcher immediately told me it wasn’t real…though she can’t verify if I have any kind of infraction outstanding over the phone. Which is good, but the point of the scams is to rattle you & they had done at least some of that to me.

In hindsight, I should have known from the start it was a scam & refused to verify anything. Big mistake on my part & I’ll be locking stuff down now. Nevertheless, an elderly person or someone challenged may fall for this, and I want you to be aware.

The dispatcher told me you can report this to the FCC, though she didn’t have the exact web address. I’ll find it. You may also be able to report it to the FBI’s “IC3”, an Internet Crime division, apparently. I know nothing about it.

Anyway, now you know the scam.

The U.S. Somali refugee program did not begin with a vote, a referendum, or even a dedicated bill in Congress. Most Americans have no idea how it actually started.

Here’s the real story:

Under the Refugee Act of 1980 (passed by Congress and signed by Jimmy Carter), the president alone gets to decide every year how many refugees America takes and from which countries. No new law required, no public vote, no ballot measure.

George H.W. Bush used that authority in Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993 to open a small Priority-2 category for Somalis “of special humanitarian concern.” The first arrivals (a few hundred) came in 1992–1993, right at the tail end of his presidency. Almost nobody in America noticed.

Then the numbers grew quietly under Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama, Trump (who slowed but never stopped it), and Biden:

- 1990–1994: ~4,000
- 1995–2005: ~45,000
- 2006–2016: ~70,000
- 2017–2024: another ~60,000+

Official refugee total since 1990: ≈ 180,000+

But that’s only the beginning.

Chain migration (family reunification) exploded the real number.

Once a refugee is resettled, they can petition for:
- Spouses & minor children (immediate family – no numerical limit)
- Parents (again, no numerical limit)
- Adult sons/daughters, siblings (subject to quotas but still massive over time)

Because Somali families are large and the 1980 Act + later laws (IMMACT 90, etc.) are extremely generous with derivative family, the actual ethnic Somali population in the United States is now estimated between 450,000 and 700,000 (State Department, Census ACS, Migration Policy Institute, and Somali community estimates all put it in that range).

The most commonly cited academic/community figure today is ≈ 500,000–550,000 Somali-Americans, meaning chain migration multiplied the original refugee number by roughly 3×.

Largest concentrations:
- Minneapolis–St. Paul: 100,000–150,000
- Columbus, Ohio: 70,000–100,000
- Seattle area: 40,000–60,000
- San Diego, Nashville, Lewiston (ME), and dozens of other cities now have five- and six-figure Somali neighborhoods.

All of this happened without a single national vote, referendum, or specific congressional act aimed at Somalis. Congress handed the keys to the executive branch in 1980, and every administration since — Republican and Democrat — has kept the door open and the chain-migration pipeline flowing.

That’s how half a million people from one of the most clan-divided, war-torn nations on earth ended up reshaping entire American cities — quietly, legally, and with essentially zero direct democratic input.

I've never used FB or Insta or any of the others to keep up with friends and family. I do this thing called. "calling" them and talking to them. Or visiting them. I hate social media ever since FB became big and people were sharing their dinner pics and everyone had 500+ "friends". It's stupid. No one actually cares about what you had for dinner and 98% of those "friends" will never interact with you again.
