Rep. Jim Bridenstine, R-Okla., was turned away from the gates of Fort Still, where more than a thousand minors are being detained after crossing the U.S. border illegally.

WASHINGTON, July 2 (UPI) --An Oklahoma Republican who tried to visit an immigration detention center in his state Tuesday is furious after he was refused entry.

Rep. Jim Bridenstine sent a scathing letter to the Department of Health and Human Services after he was turned away at the gate of the Fort Still, Okla., facility, where 1,123 children are being detained after crossing the border illegally.

In a press release, Bridenstine said he was told by the HHS official in charge at Fort Still that he could make an appointment for July 21, and that his phone call was refused by HHS Deputy Director of the Office of Public Affairs Ken Wolfe.

The U.S. congress cannot conduct oversight as you report.


The U.S. president is feckless.

Those 2 facts alone show that no one and I mean no one wants the U.S. as an ally.

Ukraine is (as we say in American parlance) sooooooooooo screeeeeewwwwwwwed!

Not that Americans are not as well!

:(

America won part of the Cold War.

The USSR won the cold War in terms of influence operations. Europe and America had their own homegrown socialists and others.

What the USSR did was buttress them and grow them.

The book "The World was Going Our Way" and the film "America" in theatres now will tell a person as much.
