Joe Biden Overrules Staff Plan, Raises Refugee Inflow
Pro-migration Democrats and business allies got President Joe Biden to quickly overrule a Friday announcement by his top staff that would have capped the 2021 inflow of refugees at 15,000. “The President’s directive today has been the subject of some confusion,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in an afternoon statement . “We expect the President to set a final, increased refugee cap for the remainder of this fiscal year by May 15,” she added. The Psaki announcement came a few hours after Jake Sullivan, Biden’s National Security Advisor, tweeted: America needs to rebuild our refugee resettlement program. We will use all 15,000 slots under the new Determination and work with Congress on increasing admissions and building back to the numbers to which we’ve committed.

How Fantastic Four saved Stan Lee from quitting comics
(CNN) Stan Lee was ready to give up on writing comic books in 1960 -- after 20 years in the business -- when his wife, famously, urged him to try writing one that he would like. The result was Fantastic Four - a team of squabbling superheroes -- kicking off a string of creations with artist Jack Kirby that redefined their medium and, with the popularity of Marvel movies, has since come to occupy an enormous role in pop culture. The Lee-Kirby collaboration has been likened, with some justification, to the comic-book version of John Lennon and Paul McCartney, another creative super-team of the 1960s. In short order, the duo launched the Hulk, Thor, the X-Men, Iron Man, a revived version of Captain America and Ant-Man, while Lee added perhaps Marvel's most renowned character, Spider-Man, with Steve Ditko. Despite their colorful costumes and cosmic powers, the Marvel heroes grappled with real-world problems, and went on to address serious social issues.
