PUBLIC CONFESSIONAL FOR CHALLENGE 8.1

THREE QUESTIONS: This was another one of those random guessing challenges that we did not do well in. The $4 prize was not added to the pot...no surprise there. The Mole did not have to mess this one up because we did it for him. I can only hope that we will be successful in the Final Challenge. It is not about the money anymore, it is about Team Pride for being able to work together to accomplish the mission. Note to Mole...Leave your EGO at the door when you come here to play for the last time!

POST EXECUTION CONFESSIONAL FOR AGENT EVIN

OMG...This is not the way it was supposed to work out! Evin has been my choice for 1 of the Final 3 in this game for a long time. There is now a void in the game which can't be filled by those who remain. I really had much repect for the way he played this game. We both got frustrated by losing challenges, but showed it in different ways. If anyone thought that he was the Mole... THEY WERE WRONG! I hope you will keep in touch with us because you are a "Class Act" and a Great Player. Your presence in this game will be missed by all. Take Care, Evin and I hope to hear from you again.

PUBLIC CONFESSIONAL FOR CHALLENGE 7.1, 7.2, 7.3

WALL STREET: It was just too hard to make any serious money for the pot with this challenge. I am not a very good investor and my net loss with the stocks I picked was all the proof I needed. I don't know if the other 3 Agents did well. I am sure they will tell us in their own Blog.

MINDSWEEPER: I was lucky enough to get paired up with Fred in this challenge because he has an amazing understanding of how to play this game. As we got closer to the deadline, Host Ryan M let the two of us finish this game by ourselves. We were successful and added $ 3.50 to the Pot.

IN THE DARK: We only had 1 hour to complete this challenge. I found 1 key, Fred found 1 key & Evin found 2 keys...Andy was left with only himself and 4 matches. After many tries, the Guard could only beat Evin which caused him to lose his 2 keys. There was not enough time for Fred or myself to try to get them back from the Guard without risking our own keys. Nobody won Immunity.

Note: Fred is going into the next Mole Quiz with a +1 and I am going into the next Mole Quiz with a +2. This will make it tougher for Evin & Andy to make it to the FINAL 3 !

List of U.S. Sanctuary Cities

Despite a federal law that requires local governments to cooperate with Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agency, many large urban cities (and some small) have adopted so-called "sanctuary policies." Generally, sanctuary policies instruct city employees not to notify the federal government of the presence of illegal aliens living in their communities. The policies also end the distinction between legal and illegal immigration -- so illegal aliens often benefit from city services too.

The justification of creating sanctuary cities is often under the guise of protecting "immigrant rights." But illegal aliens are not immigrants -- immigrants come to the US legally, and maintain their legal presence. When a person is illegally smuggled into the US or knowingly violates their visa restrictions -- he/she is not an immigrant or visitor, but an illegal alien subject to deportation. The real reason behind sanctuary policies are public officials bowing to political pressure from the open-border lobby -- and/or an attempt to pander for votes at election time...
