Kamala Does Speaking Tour To Remind Nation Why Trump Is President U.S. — With President Donald Trump's approval ratings showing signs of decline, former Vice President Kamala Harris dutifully stepped forward to launch a speaking tour to remind the nation why Trump was elected president. Harris embarked on a media tour this week to simultaneously promote her new memoir, 107 Days, and help voters across the country remember why they voted for Donald Trump instead of her.

It is Wednesday, we're back on schedule, and here is our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THE HUNTER AND THE BEAR TRAP A hunter was rushed to the emergency room with a bear trap clamped onto his testicles. As the horrified doctor was examining him, he said, "How did this happen?" The hunter explained that he was out in the woods and felt the call of nature. As he bent down by a tree, a bear trap was triggered and snapped shut on his testicles. "Oh," said the doctor, "the pain must have been excruciating!" "It was," said the hunter. "Second worst pain in my life." "SECOND worst? What could have been worse than that?" "Coming to the end of the chain."

The OP hasn't logged on to VJ in 13 months, so a response would be at least a mild surprise. If none, perhaps start a new thread with your question.

I found a shop that will use my oil & filter and charge me only for labor. Perhaps the best of both worlds.

No one's saying not to include them. My suggestion came from what an immigration lawyer told me when I had the same question: "Affidavits are suggested for when other evidence is thin." If it feels better to include a couple of affidavits, go for it.

We need more great threads like this.

b-cali24, when you do find such a civil surgeon (and you will), be sure to add the appropriate data to this thread: In fact, you might peruse this thread now, starting at the last page and working backward, to see what you find. In whatever instance, let us know!

Congratulations on your apparently successful interview, and thank you for your candid report. It was thoughtful of you to take the time to do it.

You don't even really need one. It's almost of more value to you as a table of contents than it is to USCIS. If you want to include one, you can make it "To Whom It Concerns: Please find enclosed [list of your items]." On the outside envelope in which you mail it, write "ORIGINAL I-129F" above the address label.

Old thread is now closed to further comment.

In lighter news... or, actually, this could offend the, uh, Amish. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Officials release hundreds of pigs in neighborhoods to fight poisonous threat: 'Remember to keep a safe distance' Hundreds of pigs were released into one of England's largest tracts of undeveloped land on Monday, the BBC reported. The New Forest is situated in southern England, covering an area of nearly 220 square miles. It was established by William the Conqueror in 1079, and as the outlet indicated, some of its ancient traditions are still upheld. Among them is pannage, which is a historic practice, a season, and a legal right afforded to the pigs' owners. According to New Forest National Park, a national park established in and near the New Forest, anywhere between 200 and 600 pigs are released each year. In the 1800s, that number was as high as 6,000. Pannage in the New Forest is a rare example of a type of pre-industrial ecological stewardship that has carried over into modern times unbroken.

Agree? Makes sense to me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Doing This Instead of Gun Control Would Fix Most Issues [...] Gang violence and other forms of criminal violence are the lion's share of the homicides in this country. They account for the vast majority of the so-called mass shootings that sites like the Gun Violence Archive count. They're all tied to an inner city culture that sees violent retribution as not just the reasonable response to insults, but as the only acceptable response. Failing to act is to be labeled "a punk" or something similar. These aren't people getting guns lawfully. They're not going to the gun store and passing NICS checks. They're getting them off the streets, either stealing them or buying them from some guy who doesn't care if they're law-abiding citizens or not. Then, when they feel the need, they open fire. This problem becomes even worse when [...] https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2025/09/21/doing-this-instead-of-gun-control-would-fix-most-issues-n1229969

Fraud Alert Triggered As Wife's Credit Card Used To Spend Less Than 100 Dollars At Target EBENSBURG, PA — Local husband Bill Schafer was surprised to learn his debit card had been locked after the bank issued a fraud alert because his wife spent less than $100 at Target. According to sources, Schaefer's wife, Amy, spent only $25.76 at Target on Sunday, well below her typical $487 average. This triggered a red flag by the automated banking software that led to the card being immediately frozen because of how the shopping trip deviated from her normal spending practice.

He's doing this because he is losing in the Minneapolis mayoral race to Omar (Intifada) Fateh. The Somalis tolerated Mayor Mom Jeans, but now with a Somali/Islamist candidate, they will kick him to the curb like yesterday's trash. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You Wanna Try That Again In English, Chief? Jacob Frey Speaks to Supporters in Somali [...] Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey was one of those disgraces. He even wept over a casket during one of Floyd's many funerals -- while the rest of us were banned from saying goodbye to our loved ones. But little did we know then how much lower Democrats and Frey could sink. After an LGBTQ+ terrorist recently shot up a Minneapolis church, Frey attacked Catholics and mocked prayer. This weekend, Frey plunged into new depths of ignominy by addressing his constituents ahead of the mayoral election later this fall. Oh, did we mention that he addressed them in Somali?

Dad Teaches Son Importance Of Doing Your Own Oil Changes So It Will Take Longer And Cost More BLOOMINGTON, IL — Neighbors were impressed by local man Marcus Hardwick, who took the time to pass on generational knowledge to his son about how to change your car's oil yourself, so it will take longer and cost more. Learning to change a car's oil yourself is an important skill to learn if you want to waste time and money, according to MotorTrend magazine, a sentiment Hardwick said he believes is important to pass on to his children. "It builds character," Hardwick said. "I don't want my kids getting soft by paying a professional a modest fee when they can spend twice as much money messing it up on their own."

TSA preparing for "big announcement" that would radically alter the airport screening process Just one week after announcing the end of its long-standing shoes-off rule at airport checkpoints, the TSA may be getting ready to ditch another major traveler headache: the liquids restriction. At the Hill Nation Summit on July 16, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — who oversees the TSA — teased that big changes could be coming to what passengers are allowed to bring in their carry-ons. "I will tell you — I mean the liquids — I'm questioning," she said during an interview with NewsNation's Blake Burman, as reported by The Hill. "So that may be the next big announcement is what size your liquids need to be."

Doesn't say whether these were recent got-aways or had been here since the Bidementia administration. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Border Patrol finds 55 people hidden behind false wall in box truck Border Patrol agents arrested two men last Thursday after finding 55 people in the country illegally hidden behind a false wall inside of a box truck. Brandon Lajohn Hargrove, a U.S. citizen born in 1981, and Jose Luis Castellanos-Hercules, a Honduran citizen born in 2003, are charged with conspiracy to transport people in the country from Mission to Zapata.
