Why Rep. Ilhan Omar wants to repeal a U.S. law that's been on the books for more than two centuries
The Alien Enemies Act, first aimed at suspected French-sympathizers during the Adams administration, has been used to justify everything from Japanese internment to Trump's travel ban.

Rep. Ilhan Omar: "No one should be targeted based solely on their religion, ethnicity or national origin. This xenophobic law is dangerous and must be taken off the books."
Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar reintroduced a bill on Tuesday to repeal the 223-year-old Alien Enemies Act.
Called the Neighbors Not Enemies Act, Omar's bill would repeal the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a law that was part of the "Alien and Sedition Acts," a set of four bills used to target immigrants and non-citizens during times of war. The Alien Enemies Act allows the president to determine how and if foreign nationals from a specific country should be "apprehended, restrained, secured and removed" from the U.S. and has been used in multiple occasions throughout American history, including as a justification for Japanese internment camps during World War II.
"No one should be targeted based solely on their religion, ethnicity or national origin. This xenophobic law is dangerous and must be taken off the books," Omar said.
Omar first introduced the bill in January of 2020, when it was referred to the House Judiciary Committee. It never received a vote on the House floor.

Though Trump's ban was ultimately upheld by the Supreme Court on the basis of the president's broad authority over immigration, the former president cited the actions of Franklin Delano Roosevelt during World War II incarcerating Japanese, German and Italian citizens (and American citizens of those nationalities) in justifying his ban. "We're at war with radical Islam," Trump said on on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
The State of Hawaii challenged the ban by preventing the enforcement of Trump's order, and the Trump administration sued, asking the Supreme Court to hear the case. The Supreme Court upheld the travel ban in a 5-to-4 vote, saying that the president's power to secure the country's borders was not undermined by Trump's "history of incendiary statements" about the dangers he said Muslims pose to the U.S.
The court's ruling was based on the president's power under a different law, but still, Omar cited Trump's rhetoric about the ban in explaining the need to repeal the Alien Enemies Act. "This outdated law allows the president to detain and deport immigrants based solely on their nationality," Omar said. "It was used to justify Japanese American internment, and the Muslim Ban by the Trump administration."
A troubled history
The Alien Enemies Act was part of a package of bills signed into law by President John Adams. Collectively, this group of bills was known as the Alien and Sedition Acts. These laws were passed when the U.S. was on the brink of war with France. Members of the Federalist party feared that noncitizens in the U.S. would sympathize or side with the French during the war.

President John Adams
The Alien Enemies Act permitted the government to arrest and deport "all male citizens of an enemy nation in the event of war."
By 1802, all of the Alien and Sedition Acts had expired or been repealed, except for the Alien Enemies Act. In subsequent years, Congress has only expanded the reach of the act. For example, in 1918 Congress amended the act to include women.
On December 7, 1941, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt used the Alien Enemies Act to issue presidential proclamations to "apprehend, retrain, secure and remove" Japanese, German and Italian non-citizens in response to the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
The next year, Roosevelt signed an executive order authorizing the U.S. secretary of war to create military zones within the country, clearing the way for the incarceration of Japanese Americans during the war. Of the estimated 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry who were held in internment camps, 62% were American citizens.
New York's Ellis Island, a major point of entry for European immigrants at the time, continued to incarcerate ethnic Germans after the war. In 1948 the Supreme Court ruled to release a German man who had been detained since 1941, but found that the Alien Enemies Act allowed people to be detained beyond the time hostilities ended, until a treaty was signed with the hostile nation, in this case Germany.
Slim chance of repeal
In 2020, Rep. Omar's first iteration of the Neighbors Not Enemies Act did not have much of a chance against the Trump White House. Even if it does get a vote in the House this year, and even if it passes, it's highly unlikely the bill will get a vote in the 50-50 Senate, where legislation has already dragged at a snail's pace this year.
The slim chance of repealing the Alien Enemies Act hasn't stopped Omar, though.
"This outdated law allows the president to detain and deport immigrants based solely on their nationality," she said. "It was used to justify Japanese American internment, and the Muslim Ban by the Trump administration. We must close all policy loopholes to prevent more pain to be inflicted on our communities. It's way past time we put this hateful law in the dustbin of history where it belongs."

Why Rep. Ilhan Omar wants to repeal a U.S. law that's been on the books for more than two centuries

By Ashley Hackett | Staff Writer

June 4, 2021

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar reintroduced a bill on Tuesday to repeal the 223-year-old Alien Enemies Act.

Called the Neighbors Not Enemies Act, Omar's bill would repeal the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a law that was part of the "Alien and Sedition Acts," a set of four bills used to target immigrants and non-citizens during times of war. The Alien Enemies Act allows the president to determine how and if foreign nationals from a specific country should be "apprehended, restrained, secured and removed" from the U.S. and has been used in multiple occasions throughout American history, including as a justification for Japanese internment camps during World War II.

Q: Sets of vectors that span a space with binary coefficients I'm looking towards using sets of vectors which span the null space of a matrix to conceptually interpret an aspect of the transformation encoded by the matrix.
In this regard, a basis for the null space can be easily constructed using procedures like reduced row echelon factorization or singular value decomposition.
Several articles propose procedures to find sparse "basis". A related question can be seen to be this one.
Are there spanning sets (consider the matrix to be in $\Bbb  Q$) which have coefficients in $\{0,1 \}$ in other words, they are "binary" ?
Can this spanning sets, if they exist and there exists a procedure to find one, be found minimizing a certain criteria ? Specifically, sparsity and/or cardinality.

Updated, Feb 22, 2018, 12:04 p.m., to reflect changes as published in EdgeProp Pullout, Issue 819 (Feb 26, 2018). Also previously updated to specify that rate raise applies only to top marginal buyer's stamp duty.
The top marginal buyer's stamp duty (BSD) for residential properties priced at more than $1 million has been increased to 4% with effect from Feb 20, announced Minister for Finance Heng Swee Keat on Feb 19 during the Budget 2018 speech (see Table 1).
This is revised from the previous BSD rate: 1% for the first $180,000, 2% for the next $180,000 and 3% for the remainder of the purchase price or market value of the residential property, with no further tiers for properties priced or valued above $360,000.
Assuming a buyer purchases a residential property with a price tag of $2 million, that means paying $10,000 more BSD, estimates Nicholas Mak, executive director at ZACD Group (see Table 2). The difference, however, remains a fraction of the total transaction amount, he notes.
If a buyer is granted the option to purchase a property on or before Feb 19 and exercises it before March 12 or the date of expiry of the option's validity period, the buyer may apply to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore for remission to follow the BSD rate before this revision, according to IRAS.
This is the first BSD rate increase on residential properties since 1996, so there is no comparable in recent history, according to Krishna Guha, equity analyst at Jefferies. "It is more a revenue measure than a demand cooling measure and the impact will be mild on mid-end property purchases," he says.
This increase affects direct purchases and purchases made through share transfers in companies primarily holding residential properties, he points out.
Guha considers the BSD rate rise to be "marginally negative" for developers, whose margins could be dented should they choose to absorb the additional BSD in individual property transactions. "However, given the buoyant sentiment and bullish land bids by developers, expectations of future price increases may exceed the impact of the higher stamp duties," he reckons.

I am having similar misfortune with my own eLit creation. I started building a "choose your own adventure" type story using WordPress. However, because of the design of the piece, I was soon up to 1,400+ slides (granted each slide only had 1-3 words on it). It became too big to load, even on my husband's gaming computer. I plan to choose a different platform which will let me hyperlink to various physical characteristics instead of using copies of slides. I am at that point where I have what I want to do in my head, but I just need to find a medium to turn it into electronic literature.
Maybe I'll have better news.

ASMFC Votes in First Ever Atlantic Menhaden Protections
by Colin K. Breck - Monday, Nov 14th, 2011
ASMFC Votes in Menhaden Protection
Years of efforts by conservation groups such as Menhaden Defenders and the Pew Environment Group paid off late last week when the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) voted in the first ever protection measures for the tiny forage fish Atlantic Menhaden, commonly known as bunker. Bunker play a vital role in the marine ecosystem off the eastern coast of the United States, and advocates have warned for a long time that the reduction of their population could have catastrophic impacts on the entire food chain. In the days leading up to last Friday's historic vote, a myriad of advocacy groups and individual citizens delivered over 90,000 comments to the ASMFC in favor of placing protections on the number of menhaden that can be harvested from Atlantic waters. Their efforts paid dividends, as the ASMFC voted in protections that are expected to reduce the overall catch of bunker by 37%.

Specifically, the commission voted to set a harvest target of 30% of MSP (maximum spawning potential) as based on an unfished stock of menhaden. This new limit is to be achieved by 2013. The commission also voted to increase the overfishing threshold from 8% of MSP to 15%. This means that if the population of bunker falls below 15%, the population is considered overfished.
It is estimated that the current population of Atlantic menhaden is down 88% from historic levels, though with protections in place scientists expect the population should recover. Advocates, however, warn that there is still to be done. The ASMFC needs to work with states to establish methods of achieving these goals and take steps to insure that the new limits are enforced.

Participants start with a color or black and white photocopied image supplied by ART FOR LUNCH or made from participants' images. Photocopies must be made on a photocopier that uses toner.
Image is placed face down on paper; solvent is applied to the back, and it is burnished to transfer the image to paper. The finished work is a photographic image that has the appearance of a drawing.
Note: This process requires a work area with excellent ventilation: windows that can be opened. An outdoor work area, patio or deck, is ideal.

My co-worker's husband works for Sysco, and she was able to order me a case of frozen Black Angus philly steaks. Just brought them home last night and tried them. What an awesomely easy, delicious meal (no bun of course!). If you can get your hands on them, I would highly recommend them!
I'm not familiar with the brand that darwinlily mentioned but usually Philly steak refers to products such as Steak-Umms. They're very thin slices of meat that you quickly fry in a skillet and use to make Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. They start out as slabs of meat and kind of break up as you cook them. Walmart's brand comes already cut into smaller strips of meat.
Sysco is a restaurant distributor - at least here in the Northeast. Not sure where their geographic range ends.
Sysco is nationwide. I wish I had an "in" to them. Steak-Ummm is very good, but I've not been able to find them at my neighborhood grocery stores, so I do without. There's plenty of delicious meat for me to eat until I run into them!
My next box is on order with the coworker - they have been a staple for me these last few months! I finally resorted to cooking 8 steaks at a time in a huge skillet, that way I could have it for several days and only have to microwave it. It is SOOO nice not to have to cook every day, and to have prepared stuff to eat when you are getting home at 10 pm and need something for dinner!
Smart & Final (in my area) carries a similar product. I love it. So easy to do for breakfast with some eggs and peppers. Yum. They cook really quickly, and are an easy protein/fat hit with no carbs listed.
Philly steaks are very easy to make at home, using very thin beef slices sliced into thin strips, fried up with onions, add some cheese on top to melt, and put on a roll. Ooops avoid the roll. Delish!
I thought I'd post a reminder to ALWAYS read the labels on food products even if they are something that you've been buying for years. I noticed something at Walmart yesterday that makes me mad. I used to occasionally buy the Walmart brand of Steak-Umms/Philly steaks because they were a bit cheaper than the brand name ones. Well, they've raised the price and now the beef is marinated in a marinade that has sugar in it. Usually, Steak-Umms and Philly steaks are just 100% beef with no seasonings added so it makes me sick that Walmart is now putting junk in theirs. The good news is that they had the real Steak-Umms for less than their own brand. The Walmart brand is $5.87 for a 16-ounce box and the Steak-Umms brand was $5.98 for a 24-ounce box.
Thanks for the reminder, Linda Sue. Why do they have to mess with stuff?!?
Thanks for the reminder, Linda. I just checked my new box from Smart & Final. It is callef Fast Fixin Sirloin Philly Beef Steak. It is distributed by Advance Brands in Oklahoma City, OK. The only ingredient is beef (yayyyyyyyyyy)! 1 piece has 230 cal, 18 g fat, very low carb, 16 g protein, according to the package. Not sure where else to purchase them, but we like them.
Well, I love Philly Cheese. I use provolone or swiss myself. I even buy a large beef tenderloin and cut up about 15 Filet Mingnon steaks, a decent roast, and the rest goes to the Philly Cheesesteak sandwhiches.
Is this a clean product or are there additives? Do you know if the beef is a reformed beef product made by washing meat parts in amonia, then recombining, mashing, shaping and extruding? Convenient foods are nice, and I am always on the prowl for some. One thing I like to do is to get a good quality cut of beef such as tenderloin, sirloin, round or even chuck, (flank will not work for this). Put it in the freezer untill it is very cold, partially frozen. Use a very sharp knife then slice it while it is cold and you can get it very, very thin. From there you can go into the Philly style, or I also like to take it in an Asian or Asian Indian direction with various spices and chile or sesame oil, chutney.
I do my own slicing too for Philly Steaks or things like braccioli. Something about square meat that disintegrates when cooked just isn't that appealing to me. And I know those products are not grass-fed beef either.


The junior high band kept busy this year, performing at nearly 20 pep band events, the Christmas and Spring concerts, and competing at the Bruning-Davenport band contest. A highlight for the students was receiving the first superior rating at the contest in the band division since the two schools consolidated. Six students were selected to the Meridian JH Honor Band. Students had the opportunity to "pin" this year by earning 75 or more letter points based on their participation in events.
The Director's Award for Band traditionally goes to the 8th grader who has earned the most letter points during the 8th grade year. This year's winner is Trystan Brandt.
