Bob,
You're lucky. When I've tried to use the site and I click to allow, I'm allowed
for maybe 2 more sentences. It's not worth the effort. This was one of those
blacklisted sites in that Washington Post article. Well, the Post had to
withdraw the list which came from some private, right-wing website, but
apparently, the damage is done.

Hi Roger and Miriam,
I clicked the link for this article,
A Game of 'Refugee Roulette' in Immigration Courts By Bill Boyarsky - JudgesI too got the annoying security message. I could either allow or not allow the
under Donald Trump are ensuring that asylum seekers are denied equal justice.
This is the newsletter that has been giving me problems. When I go to a link
and then use h to get to the article and start to read, I get a message that
the website's security certification is faulty. I'm asked if I want to
continue. I say, "yes", but after one or two more sentences, I'm asked again.
I'm forwarding the newsletter so that one of you can see if the same thing
happens to you if you follow one of the links.
