What is wrong with this? Gridlock in DC is a good thing.

Hate to laugh about someone assuming room temperature, but the Norm MacDonald bits are still funny!

Seems appropriate here. Of course Lisa Cook has done many of the same things as say Claudine Gay, or Joe Biden, but of course the University she was working at during that period looked the other way while telling students plagiarism is bad. Now, she is a Federal Reserve Governor, DIE run amok? Trouble at the Fed Does the deliberate recycling of old material, including material from coauthors, constitute academic misconduct? It is true that journalists, for example, often adapt previous reporting into a compilation or a book. But the standard in academia is more rigorous. According to the Michigan State University guidebook, republishing identical material across multiple journals, without proper attribution, appears to be a violation of the rule against “self-plagiarism.” The standard is that scholars cannot use copied language “regardless of whether [they] are or are not the author of the source of the copied text or idea.” What should the consequences be for this kind of academic misconduct? At Michigan State, administrators have warned students that “plagiarism is considered fraud and has potentially harsh consequences including loss of job, loss of reputation, and the assignation of reduced or failing grade in a course.” Certainly, for an esteemed professor and now a governor of the Federal Reserve, that standard should be the bare minimum. https://www.city-journal.org/article/lisa-d-cooks-careless-scholarship

I guess Maxine Waters needed to top the petulance of SJL. Hmm, I remember when Ms. Waters was inciting insurrectiony actions, but of course don't criticize her because that is racist.

The ladies on The View are extremely petulant. I believe one of them has a family history of slave owning, and they also seem to forget the Democrat Party also has a long history with slavery which they seem to keep to this day.

Just another out-of-touch member of the Biden Administration. Not really surprising considering his background. I do love the walk-back attempt to try and tie Mayor Pete's comments to January 6th. I wonder if the residents talked to felt threatened on January 6th. Sec. Buttigieg says he can 'safely' walk dog, but DC native is more frightened: 'Prisoner in your own home' Buttigieg said Sunday during an MSNBC interview he can "safely walk my dog to the Capitol today in a way you couldn't do when we all got here," a comment that outraged some fearful D.C. residents who have faced skyrocketing crime in recent years. A Department of Transportation spokesperson said in a statement that Buttigieg was referring to the "deadly January 6th domestic terrorist attack in 2021 that led to hundreds of National Guard troops being stationed for months at the U.S. Capitol." "I definitely do not feel safe, and I think about leaving this neighborhood that I love all the time," a woman who has lived in the District for eight years told Fox News. https://www.foxnews.com/media/sec-buttigieg-says-safely-walk-dog-dc-native-frightened-prisoner-home

The main thing though is the Democrat Administration now is just as clueless as the team back in the late '70's.

Ok, so how did this case end up in NYC? Also, if this was also a case of trying to influence elections, I wonder what Judge Swain thinks about all the political cases against Trump? Aimee Harris, 41, was also ordered to fork over $20,000 and serve three years of probation for what Manhattan Chief US District Judge Laura Taylor Swain called a “despicable” act. Judge Swain said that Harris, apart from being motivated by greed, had hoped to impact the 2020 election result. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/florida-mom-who-stole-sold-ashley-biden-diary-sentenced-to-month-in-prison/ar-BB1llOO4

Makes perfect sense, drive more businesses away. Lawmakers in San Francisco Want to Allow Residents to Sue Grocery Stores for Closing https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/lawmakers-san-francisco-want-allow-residents-sue-grocery/

Still trying to understand how the Left was able to change the definition of “stole”? Regardless, I agree, this means the contents of the diary are real, and we can add Pedophile to the list of adjectives describing Old Joe. No wonder the Lincoln Project types like Joe.

Considering the lack of trust with the Federal agencies, maybe it is best to let this die. The Feds are going to do anything they want anyway with no consequences.

I agree, a good lawyer is required for your case as on the surface it appears you are no longer legally married and therefore the second AOS was decided incorrectly. In simple terms it appears your GC is invalid, and would most likely require a new legal marriage, and a new AOS package. A good lawyer will know how to proceed and more particularly as to how best to inform USCIS about the mistake with the second AOS decision to alleviate any potential of material misrepresentation claims. Maybe try getting on Hacking. Good Luck!

I’ll take Confusing Language for $1,000 Alex. I would go with the specific language found for the Thai consulate as I have never heard anyone being required to also submit the marriage certificate from a marriage that has ended in divorce. Good Luck!

Here is the report from the USCIS IG. Interesting read. Sounds like everyone at USCIS knows the U-visa program is rife for fraud even to the point that the I-918 (supplement B), is not submitted by the law enforcement agency directly to USCIS, but rather is given to the petitioner to submit. The conclusions on page 18 are quite telling. https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2022-01/OIG-22-10-Jan22-Redacted.pdf

Hmm, who would have thought the Democrats would lie to us. After Promising Not To, The IRS Army Democrats Expanded Is Targeting The Middle Class According to a new audit of the agency, as of just less than a year ago, 63 percent of new IRS audit inquiries were to middle-income earners who made less than $200,000. “Only a small overall share reached the very highest earners, while 80% of audits covered filers earning less than $1 million,” the Wall Street Journal editorial board reported last week. “Don’t forget to save those charitable-giving receipts.” https://thefederalist.com/2024/04/10/after-promising-not-to-the-irs-army-democrats-expanded-is-targeting-the-middle-class/

It might be that this case number has not caught up in the system yet. You might try the "Ask Emma" / "Case Status" option then try to get a live chat. Good Luck!

Sounds like an insurrection to me as well particularly when coupled with the chanting that was occurring in Dearborn.

A little more clarity. It was a bystander that killed the person committing the fake robbery, but the guy that set up the robbery is the one being charged with the murder. Man killed in robbery staged by illegal immigrants seeking fraudulent visas Two unnamed immigrants in Houston allegedly paid a man named William Winfrey to stage a robbery where the immigrants would be the fake victims who could then help police solve the crime. Winfrey then paid Scott to carry out the fake robbery, which was all going according to plan until a bystander stepped in to stop the fake crime by shooting and killing Scott. After investigating the shooting, police have not yet charged the shooter with any crimes, but they did charge Winfrey with the murder of Scott. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/man-killed-in-robbery-staged-by-illegal-immigrants-seeking-fraudulent-visas/ar-BB1loUf5

Possibly. The whole reason for the U-Visa is to allow someone who otherwise is undocumented an out so they will cooperate with the police.

I had heard it was someone not involved in the visa fraud scheme who shot the person, but that person was a felon and should not have had a gun. The story I found is pretty poor in details so it was not clear who did the shooting.

Detroit is a cakewalk. The only concern I have is with the location, when going there, I prefer to drive along Jefferson Ave. rather than to drive through the neighborhoods on the East side that navigation seems to favor.

And apparently some have money.

Apparently Yellen needed to get another supply of Werther's, but other than that, utterly clueless. I do like Gordon Chang and his analysis. Yellen in China: Failure Was the Only Option | Opinion There is, at least at this moment, an apparent reluctance in the Biden administration to ruffle the Chinese leadership, with tariffs or anything else. "We have put our bilateral relationship on a more stable footing," Yellen said while she was in Beijing. What she was really saying is that the administration has postponed taking meaningful action against China for its obviously predatory conduct. That's a mistake. Her job is to protect American businesses and workers from unfair foreign competition, not please China's mercantilist leaders. Xi Jinping has made it clear that he does not intend to change course on exports. Janet Yellen's pleading with his subordinates, however persistently, will not work. She should know that by now. https://www.newsweek.com/yellen-china-failure-was-only-option-opinion-1888860
