(CNSNews.com) - President Joe Biden, a stickler for mask-wearing, was not masked last week, nor was his wife Jill, when they posed for a cozy, indoor photograph with (maskless) former President Jimmy Carter, 96, and his wife Rosalynn, 93.
Other photos show the Bidens wearing their masks as they walked out of the Carters home in Plains, Georgia.

Biden quadruples Trump refugee cap after criticism
AP, WASHINGTON
US President Joe Biden has formally raised the nation’s cap on refugee admissions to 62,500 this year, weeks after facing bipartisan blowback for his delay in replacing the record-low ceiling set by former US president Donald Trump.
Refugee resettlement agencies have waited for Biden to quadruple the number of refugees allowed into the US this year since Feb. 12, when a presidential proposal was submitted to the US Congress saying that he planned to do so, but the presidential determination went unsigned until Monday.
Biden said that he first needed to expand the narrow eligibility criteria put in place by Trump that had kept out most refugees. He did that last month in an emergency determination, but it also said that Trump’s cap of up to 15,000 refugees this year “remains justified by humanitarian concerns and is otherwise in the national interest,” indicating that Biden intended to keep it.
