  1. The mainstream media appears to be taking its cues from the petulant WH. ‘Cheap Fake’: The Media’s Term for Any Video of Biden Acting Senile https://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/bill-dagostino/2024/06/19/cheap-fake-medias-term-any-video-biden-acting-senile
  2. My wife was nervous as well considering English is not her first language, as well as learning the civics portion. We got the test book, and reviewed it constantly for about two months prior to her interview, and she was fine Also, review this post of one of our most senior member's experience with helping his wife with the civic questions. Good Luck!
  3. I would vote for before DQ to avoid any possibility the package is sent to the wrong consulate which would incur a delay as it is sent back to NVC and then re-routed to the new consulate. Good Luck!
  4. I remember driving East on I70 right a year or so after CO legalized pot, and from the Utah border all the way to Denver, it seemed that every exit had a pot shop. I suspect the cartels are playing a role allowing people other outlets that may be cheaper, or some may be growing their own.
  5. Idiot leftists. Climate activists spray Stonehenge with orange powder, demanding end to fossil fuels in UK https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/climate-activists-spray-stonehenge-with-orange-powder-demanding-end-to-fossil-fuels-in-uk/ar-BB1owhaI?ocid=BingNewsSerp
  6. This is where the online system is a little lacking. You can PDF and upload a statement reiterating that you do not have children and no child support is required to get past this. Good Luck!
  7. Yes. Those that entered without inspection (EWI) do not have the option to adjust. This just bypasses the entire visa process.
  8. So even with Tesla if one has to rely on their charger, the savings becomes much smaller. During my recent FL trip, I saw many freeway stations around $3.20/gal. This is the big challenge with EVs as more people who do not have access to home charging try them out.
  9. How much do you pay for DC fast charging at a Tesla site? I have seen estimates at other non-Tesla DC chargers where the cost was on par or even higher than fuel. I am curious as to how things will change as more OEMs adopt the NACS plug, and if this will back up Tesla charging sites. I am also curious as to the move Tesla made to lay-off a large swath of their charging network staff. I have heard some were rehired, but not sure what the long-term plan will be. I always thought it was a great move for Tesla to build up their charging network, and to even allow free charging for the very early adopters even though this was obviously not sustainable which is why they are trying to get those cars off the road. I know what you mean about people with different habits when taking long trips. Some like to meander and take their time, some just want to get to their destination in the shortest time possible. EVs can be used, but the second group which would not be happy.
  10. I heard him described as the UK version of Trump. I read an article the other day where at some semblance of a debate among all the parties there Farage was essentially an outsider as shown by how the other party deputy leaders treated him leading the article author to opine about the UK's uni-party. Does it really matter if the tories or the labour folks win?
  11. Conditional GC in January 2019 would be a 5yr rule filing.
  12. Is that Farage that leads the MRL Party?
  13. Tesla is actually the best of the EV makers (Fisker just filed for bankruptcy), but they do have one big problem, they seem to have paused any meaningful vehicle development. The 2024 Model 3 looks just like your 5 yr old vehicle, and is essentially the same, and the Model Y looks like the EV equivalent of the Pontiac Aztek. The CT is just awful, and the stainless steel panels can be quite dangerous. The S is the best styled EV sedan I have seen, but again, there have been little updates to it. These are all issues when companies are trying to jump the chasm from early adopters to the early majority which EVs have not done yet. We shall see how it all pans out, I am all for EVs for those that want them and are willing to pay the premium for them, but I am against any government subsidies for a consumer product that is essentially the same as other consumer products on the market, and I am not for believing EVs are emission free (VOCs are a major issue with EVs given all the plastics, adhesives, potting, thermal glue, etc. used in them even though government regulators ignore this pollution), or somehow a technological leap over current ICE equivalents. I regularly (3-4 times a year) take long trips (1,000 mile+), and I would never take an EV on those trips (even a Tesla). My wife and I share the driving and we take food with us instead of stopping at restaurants, so our stops are as short as possible. We just took a 1200 mile trip with 7 stops (3 for fuel and 4 more for restroom/driving swaps) and did it in 16 hrs (averaged 75 mph). If I did that in an EV, I would have added at least 6 stops of 20-60 minutes (depends on if I could find a DCFC), so worse case, a 16 hr trip would have taken 22 hrs which would have required spending money at a hotel. Again, EVs are a fine option, but from a functional standpoint, they have some big limitations.
  14. Hmm, some recommend voting Democrat straight party. And it turns out this guy worked in the WH appointed by Old Corrupt Petulant Joe. Not surprising, Democrats are corrupt. Texas Dem charged with faking racist online attacks on self: 'Concerning' HOUSTON (TND) — Taral Patel, a Democratic Texas county commissioner candidate, is facing a felony charge after allegedly falsifying racist social media attacks against himself. While campaigning for Fort Bend County Precinct 3 commissioner in September, Patel issued a social media statement condemning several racist messages he allegedly received. The post included a collage of messages from Facebook users, some of which had their names censored. https://komonews.com/news/nation-world/texas-dem-charged-with-faking-racist-online-attacks-on-self-report-says-concerning-taral-patel-democrat-candidate-fort-bend-county-precinct-3-commissioner-andy-meyes-republican-politics-dps https://www.taralpateltx.com/about
  15. The deep fake is the establishment types claiming behind closed doors Old Corrupt Petulant Joe is sharp as a tack. Like someone who claims to have seen Sasquatch, show me the receipts! Let's see a video of Old Corrupt Petulant Joe showing his sharpness.
  16. Yes Yes Not sure this is actually needed, but since you are doing it online, doesn't hurt to add it. For 4, I believe you choose "Return" when you can. I would also add evidence of termination of any previous marriages. Good Luck!
  17. I agree, base the dates off when you were physically living at the addresses, not on the lease paperwork. Good Luck!
  18. Why is a task force needed? The answer is obvious and this is an election year.
  19. I get that. I don’t trust fuel gauges myself, and driving range on electric is no different. I would start looking for a charger when I got to around 80 miles left. It is interesting, we have a lot of those Rivian Amazon trucks running around, and I often see them on a flatbed heading back to the distribution centers presumably out of power.
  20. Yes, you can file for naturalization even with an I751 pending as long as you meet the requirements for the N400. Good Luck!
  21. What local office? It isn't clear, has she already been to an interview?
  22. Taxes are big for me as well, and I agree, despite how the Trump tax cuts are framed by most of the media, they benefitted a lot of people that are not in the 1%. Healthcare is a tougher one since much of that is handled by the states. I don't really see the US adopting a system like in Canada or the UK, but it would be nice to see the costs come down. One wonders if the high cost of healthcare here in the US is somewhat caused by the insurance bureaucracy created by various governments. I know with me, I often offer to pay cash for things, and it seems things can be cheaper when the insurance bureaucracy is cut out.
  23. I agree, 260 miles is generally within range, but of course one must factor in HVAC and battery temperature management which may drive the range down. I also agree the CT just looks weird driving down the road. Btw, my longest trip so far in 2024 was 1200 miles one-way with another 2000 mile trip planned in September.
  24. My only point with VDH is he failed to mention that the Democrat/left/establishment conspiracies are never promoted as conspiracies by their MSM allies. How Left-wing Conspiracies Work Since 2016, there has been a clear pattern to left-wing conspiracies—beyond the obvious fact that they traffic in lies, stereotypes, and paranoia to serve precise political agendas. We now know that the conspiracy to cook up the Russian-collusion hoax—Donald Trump allegedly conniving with Vladimir Putin to rig the 2016 vote—was perpetrated by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Its funding was hidden by the Democratic National Committee, the law firm Perkins Coie, and Fusion GPS. The Russian “disinformation” laptop hoax—the notion that the same Russians four years later created a fake Hunter Biden laptop to smear the Biden family on the eve of the first 2020 debate—was jumpstarted by the Biden campaign’s then-chief foreign policy advisor, current Secretary of State Antony Blinken. https://amgreatness.com/2024/06/17/how-left-wing-conspiracies-work/
