How to turn your iPhone into a SCANNER: The hidden 'hack' dubbed a 'game changer' by hundreds - as the other top tricks are revealed

A mom has wowed hundreds after sharing a simple iPhone hack that allows you to scan documents straight onto your phone without downloading any new apps.

The woman Brandi Mumma's post was shared on Facebook, where countless phone owners said they didn't know how to scan apps on their iPhone 'until today'.

'Did you know, if you have an iPhone or iPad you actually have a scanner,' Brandi Mumma wrote.

'Parents, if you are planning to scan any work to your teachers or teachers if you are scanning work to your students you can use the "Notes" app.'

To try the trick for yourself, she said you simply need to open a new Note, press the camera button at the bottom of the screen and the 'option to scan the document will pop up'.

'Once the document is scanned, you can email it easier than a photo, plus you can add notes to the scanned document,' Brandi Mumma said.

Hundreds who saw her post said they 'never knew this' and thanked the mother for the 'game-changing' piece of advice.

'Omg! It took me 43 years to learn this,' one woman wrote.

'I actually regularly use CamScanner on my iPhone for business as I wasn't aware of this function. Thanks for enlightening me, will try it today.'  

Another said: 'Oh my goodness! I was going to Officeworks to buy a scanner today! Thank you'.

Hillary Clinton Losing it ......suggests Trump was 'talking to Vladimir Putin on the day of Capitol riot'


 Hillary Clinton has suggested President Trump was 'talking to Vladimir Putin on the day of the Capitol riot' and said she would 'love to see his phone records'.  

In a conversation with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on her podcast 'You and Me Both', Clinton said she would be interested in obtaining Trump's phone records to see whether he was on the phone to Putin while the Capitol was under siege.

Clinton, who lost to Trump in the 2016 election, said that it was clear that her former rival has a 'disdain for democracy', but that its true depths may never be known.

She claimed that the president had 'other agendas' while in the White House, and said she hopes that one day it will become clear who Trump was 'beholden to' and who 'pulls his strings'. 

We learned a lot about our system of government over the last four years with a president who disdains democracy and, as you have said numerous times, has other agendas,' Clinton said. 

'What they all are, I don't think we yet know. I hope historically we will find out who he's beholden to, who pulls his strings. I would love to see his phone records to see whether he was talking to Putin the day that the insurgents invaded our Capitol. 

'But we now know that not just him, but his enablers, his accomplices, his cult members, have the same disregard for democracy.'

Blind Man Regains Sight Thanks To Israeli Startup’s Synthetic Cornea

 

A 78-year-old man who has been blind in both eyes for 10 years has regained his sight after receiving the first implant of an artificial cornea developed by Israeli startup CorNeat, the company announced Monday.

The CorNeat KPro implant is designed to replace deformed, scarred or opacified corneas, and it integrates with the eye wall with no reliance on donor tissue.

Professor Irit Bahar, head of the Ophthalmology Department at Rabin Medical Center (formerly Beilinson Hospital) in Petah Tikva, performed the procedure.

Once the bandages were removed, the patient was able to recognize family members and read text.

New Squad member Cori Bush Sides With the Murderers

 

The Black Beauty Cori "I love killers" Bush 

Rep. Cori Bush, a Black Lives Matter activist turned member of Congress as of earlier this month, was a welcomed addition to the Squad, the small but influential group of Democratic radicals in Congress led by Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.

And in keeping with the ultra-progressive thinking of the Squad – especially on the criminal justice system – the Missouri Democrat looked at the Trump administration’s recent execution of convicted murderers and opted to side with … the killers.

Early Saturday in Indiana, the government put to death Dustin Higgs, the last of a baker’s dozen, to see their sentences fulfilled under President Donald Trump. News reports noted the federal government put more Death Row inmates to death under Trump than it had in the previous 56 years.

On Saturday night, Bush – an advocate of defunding the police and abolishing the death penalty – tweeted:

 “The 13 people murdered by Trump’s death row killing spree: Daniel Lee, Wesley Purkey, Dustin Honken, Lezmond Mitchell, Keith Nelson, William LeCroy Jr., Christopher Vialva, Orlando Hall, Brandon Bernard, Alfred Bourgeois, Lisa Montgomery, Corey Johnson, Dustin Higgs. Say their names.”

Rep. Cori Bush, a Black Lives Matter activist turned member of Congress as of earlier this month, was a welcomed addition to the Squad, the small but influential group of Democratic radicals in Congress led by Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.

Conservative columnist Jeff Jacoby tweeted to Bush in reply: 

“Not one was murdered. Each was convicted unanimously of 1st-degree murder & sentenced to death by a jury. Each had extensive due process of law, including years of legal appeals. The names you should say are those of their victims. Do you know — or care — who those victims were?”

Jerry Dunleavy, a reporter for the Washington Examiner, also wrote on Twitter, 

“How about we say the names of their victims too? For instance, Daniel Lee was a white supremacist who murdered William & Nancy Mueller & her 8-year-old daughter, Sarah Powell, by shooting them w/ a stun gun, duct-taping plastic bags around their heads, & drowning them in a bayou.”

Twitter user Hawkus Aurelius did just that, replying to Bush with a tweet containing the names of 20 of the victims of some of the inmates who were put to death.

Sounds Familiar? .. Germany to hold Covid rule breakers in REFUGEE CAMPS under new crackdown

 GERMANY’S worst Covid rule breakers will be held in detention centres under new proposals being drawn up by a number of state governments.

The move forms part of the country’s efforts to stop the spread of the more contagious mutant strain of the virus detected in the UK last month.

In the eastern state of Saxony, people who ignore lockdown measures will be held in a cordoned-off part of a refugee camp being built next week.

State authorities have said the centre will only be used for those who repeatedly breach self-isolation requirements.

A similar scheme will be used in neighboring Brandenburg, while in northerly Schleswig-Holstein rule breakers will be held in a part of a juvenile detention center.

Biden's New Voters ...Hundreds of Thousands of Migrants Heading to US Boarders

 


A migrant traveling with a caravan that left Honduras on Friday told a reporter he was headed to the U.S. because soon-to-be President Joe Biden is "giving us 100 days to get to the U.S." 

The migrant, seen in an interview shared by The Hill, did not provide his name but said he was from Roatán, a tourist island off the northern coast of Honduras.

He appeared to be citing Biden’s pledge to place a 100-day moratorium on deportations – one of several items on his agenda that will reverse some of President Donald Trump’s signature policies.

The migrant told a reporter he was fleeing a "bad situation" that was made worse by the coronavirus pandemic, hurricanes, and a president who is not helping the people. 

When asked what he wanted for "his people," the migrant said it was "to get to the U.S. because they’re having a new president." 

"He’s gonna help all of us," the migrant said of President-elect Joe Biden. "He’s giving us 100 days to get to the U.S." to get legal status and "get a better life for our kids and family." 

Biden has promised a pathway to legal permanent residency for those in the country illegally and a suspension on deportations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).  

But any migrants who arrive at the U.S. border within the first 100 days of the new Biden administration will likely be disappointed. On Sunday, an unnamed Biden transition official said the migrants hoping to claim asylum in the U.S. during the first few weeks of the administration "need to understand they’re not going to be able to come into the U.S. immediately," NBC News reported

The Biden transition official told NBC News that while "there’s help on the way," now "is not the time to make the journey." 

"I said if Biden became president, this would happen," Thomas Homan, former acting director of ICE, told Fox News. "The things he said, the promises that he made … like ending the remain in Mexico program, and getting rid of private detention, putting a moratorium on deportations, stopping ICE from doing worksite enforcement operations, offering free healthcare. When you throw those kinds of enticements out, who’s not going to come to the greatest country on Earth?" 

placeholder

"I briefed the White House numerous times on what’s causing the surges. So, he knew by throwing all those promises out, to cater to the left to win an election, he put his own political ambitions ahead of the country." 

Asked what he thought about the Biden transition official telling migrants that now is not the best time to come to the U.S., Homan said: "Too little, too late." 

"They’re already on their way. They’re not going to wait in Mexico. They’re going to try to come across the border," Homan said. "Sooner or later, even if they do gather up in Mexico city, (Biden) is going to open the flood gates."

Pueblo Sin Fronteras, a migrant rights group, issued a statement on behalf of the caravan, saying it expects the Biden administration to take action. 

The group is expected to hold a virtual press conference in Tijuana Tuesday afternoon, where they will call on the incoming administration to reverse President Trump’s policies and immediately allow asylum seekers to continue the asylum process in the U.S. 

In a statement released Monday, the group assailed Trump’s "Remain in Mexico" policy, which compels migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. to wait in Mexico while their case is being reviewed.

Pueblo Sin Fronteras said at Tuesday’s press conference it will release a petition for the Biden administration. Items on the list include a demand the U.S. border be open to people who are seeking asylum, the elimination of the Remain in Mexico policy, an end to the separation of migrant families, and the "guarantee" of legal representation for asylum seekers.
