This and the Iranian outreach posted earlier suggest pretty deep thinking by the campaign. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump Promises Federal Recognition of Lumbee Tribe in NC Speech—and It Could Matter in November It is perhaps belaboring the obvious to note that the United States hasn't always given the original inhabitants of much of our territory a fair shake. That's history, and those people are long gone now - but some members of the lesser-known native groups are still fighting for recognition. One of these is North Carolina's Lumbee tribe, which is recognized by the state of North Carolina but not by the federal government. At a rally in North Carolina on Saturday, former President Donald Trump promised to sign legislation granting the Lumbee federal recognition.

Anyone want to throw up? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jill Biden's Cosplaying As President Just Got Much Weirder [...] She wasn't done, though. In what appears to be a very coordinated campaign at this point, MSNBC put out a slobbering segment in which Jill Biden gives "journalist" Peter Alexander an Oval Office tour. The two are also seen discussing the "transfer of power" as if her opinion on such matters is relevant.

Double standard, much? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ State Department IG Says Disgraced Former Iran Envoy Robert Malley Had Top Secret Access and No Clearance The State Department Inspector General has released a blistering report documenting how probable Iranian agent-of-influence Robert Malley was allowed to have access to highly classified information and meetings even after his security clearance was belatedly pulled by the Biden-Harris regime for mishandling classified information. Unlike former President Trump, Malley was never prosecuted for his mishandling of classified information even though he was closely affiliated with an Iranian-sponsored group [...] https://redstate.com/streiff/2024/09/21/state-department-ig-says-disgraced-former-iran-envoy-robert-malley-had-top-secret-access-and-no-clearance-n2179501

Donald Trump Concerned After Assassination Attempts: 'I Have to Worry About Family' It's a heck of a thing, to be in a line of endeavor that may not only place one's self in danger but also one's family. That is, nonetheless, the position former (and, we can hope, future) President Donald Trump finds himself in today. In an interview airing Saturday evening, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade spoke with the former President, who, in the wake of two assassination attempts, is worried about his family.

I agree with telling her (and CNN) to stuff it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Donald Trump Tells Kamala Harris What to Do With Her Latest Debate Challenge Kamala Harris is once again challenging Donald Trump to a debate. This time, the vice president wants to duke it out on CNN on October 23rd, over a month after early voting has already started. She made that announcement on social media, quoting a post from CNN's Kaitlan Collins.

Iranians for Trump! Yes, Really. It turns out that, in the history of Twitter, now X, the most-liked Farsi (Iranian) language post on that platform came from a source that may surprise you - Donald Trump. The post reportedly says in part: "I have stood with you since the beginning of my presidency and my government will continue to stand with you." Now, among the members of the Iranian diaspora - people who oppose the rule of the mullahs in Iran, many of whom fled the country after the Islamic revolution - are forming an "Iranians for Trump" movement. As unlikely as that sounds, it makes more sense than one might think. [...] https://redstate.com/wardclark/2024/09/21/iranians-for-trump-yes-really-n2179604

Is Nothing Sacred? Islamist Attacks in Germany Prompt Heightened Security for Oktoberfest. It's that time of year again, wherein people flock to Munich where the men put on leather shorts and lederhosen, and the women, dirndls, to celebrate one of Germany's greatest traditions - Oktoberfest. But this year it's a little different. Oh, the beer will still flow freely, and there will be ample supplies of wiener schnitzel and sausages, and cries of "Zicke zacke, zicke zacke, hoi hoi hoi!" will still echo across the venue. The polka bands will still play, and inebriated partyers will still attempt to dance. But this year, attacks by Islamist nutbags are prompting heightened security for the annual beer-drinking festival. Can these savages leave nothing alone?

What an IDIOT. Clay Travis said the other day that we have never had a prospective Pres/VP combination as stupid as Kommie/Walz. This cements it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tim Walz Manages to Implode Harris Campaign With One Truthful Line That's Likely to Become Trump Ad [...] One of the things that is most challenging for Kamala Harris is how to paint herself as a "change agent," when she's part of the Biden-Harris administration. Most Americans find that the administration has been a failure, and don't want four more years of it. So, what does she do when she is the effective incumbent? Harris and her running mate Tim Walz are bizarrely trying to paint former President Donald Trump as the incumbent, and themselves as the "new way forward." It's basically trying to turn reality on its head. [...] https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2024/09/21/tim-walzs-comment-n2179611

This is sad. ~~~~~~~~ NYC Emergency Response Times Keep Getting Worse The NY Post has published two stories this week about emergency response times in NY City. The time it takes for fire vehicles and ambulances to arrive at the scene of an accident has been increasing for the past couple years and the result is fewer people being rescued, especially in the case of medical emergencies. It turns out most people having a heart attack can't wait 10 minutes for help. [...] https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2024/09/21/nyc-emergency-response-times-keep-getting-worse-n3794833

Great reading, and look at the breakdown of the casualty figures. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Is the Most Deliciously Devious Part About Israel's Exploding Pager Attacks As a spy thriller fan, I love reading about the clever gadgets the good guys use to vanquish the bad guys, which is why I've been fascinated by the story of Hezbollah's deadly exploding pagers. How did Israel pull this off? Was it really Israel who did this? This attack is even more exacting than the exploding bed at the Iranian "safe" house. Now we're learning more details of the attacks, and they're as impressive as they are diabolical.

~~~~~~~~~~ Kamala Harris's never-ending border dodge [...] rather than go through Harris's various statements, it might be a good idea to take another look at her way of avoiding any substantive discussion of her record on what is one of the top three issues in the campaign — the border. About 40 minutes into the event, a man named Justin rose and said to Harris, "When you become president, what would be your specific steps to strengthening the border?" It was one of the few real questions of the day. "So it's a wonderful and important question," Harris said.

That, and tyrants keep "tyranting." Both are enraging.

The OP asked the same question, and was answered, in this thread: Accordingly, the current thread is closed to further comment. It is also moved to the Work Visas forum.

Thread is moved from the IMBRA subforum to the main K-1 Process forum. Local laws and customs apply. Within those limits, the consulate will value as much "face time" in person that you can muster, in terms of evaluating the bona fide nature of your relationship.

In terms of preparation and signature, the instructions on the visa application are to be followed precisely. These have been posted in the thread. Alternative advice regarding what "you" or "others" have done is to be disregarded. Anyone continuing to argue on this point risks administrative action. VJ Moderation

'They're Getting Shot,' Kamala Harris Warns Home Intruders, Burglars, Litterbugs, Slow Walkers FARMINGTON HILLS, MI—Discussing the Second Amendment with Oprah Winfrey at a Michigan town hall last night, Vice President Kamala Harris admitted she may have gotten too comfortable when she remarked that any home intruders, burglars, litterbugs, or slow walkers near her house could expect to be shot. "If somebody breaks into my house, knocks on my door to sell me something, or leaves their dog's waste on my lawn, they're getting shot," the Democratic presidential nominee said in an attempt to [...] https://theonion.com/theyre-getting-shot-kamala-harris-warns-home-intruders-burglars-litterbugs-slow-walkers/

Jill Biden Becomes First Female President WASHINGTON, D.C. — History was made during the first cabinet meeting in over 11 months today, as First Lady Dr. Jill Biden was officially sworn in as the first female president of the United States. "Look at me. I'm the president now. What is it I'm supposed to do?" Dr. Biden said according to official White House transcripts. According to media reports, Dr. Biden showed true leadership when she manipulated her senile husband into letting her run a cabinet meeting, where she promptly [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/jill-biden-becomes-first-female-president

15 Seconds Into Kamala Harris Interview, Oprah Decides To Endorse Trump FARMINGTON HILLS, MI — It only took 15 seconds for Thursday evening's "Unite For America" open forum with Kamala Harris to change Opray Winfrey's mind and lead her to endorse Donald Trump.

Surprising that no one posted this already. Comments about this article? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump Supporters Apparently Attacked At Rally With Clandestine Weapon At least 20 Trump supporters may have been attacked covertly by chemicals or a high-power laser at a Trump rally in Tucson on September 12. Some victims suffered severe burns. Many were temporarily blinded, with symptoms lasting until today. Others may have been affected but have yet to be identified. The fact that all those known to have been affected were sitting on the stage immediately adjacent to President Trump is important in understanding the significance of what happened.

The author calls it "Operation Gelding"! See the casualty figures. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Israel haters who wept for Gaza civilians now weep for Hezbollah terrorists One of the virtues of Israel's exquisitely targeted attack against Hezbollah terrorists is that it's finally revealed the truth for all to see: The people who have spent the last months crying about Israel killing civilians cared nothing about the civilians. What made them angry was that Israel was defeating Hamas, an Iranian proxy, so an enemy of both Israel and America. We know this because the same people, rather than congratulating Israel for a targeted attack the likes of which no one has ever seen, are now angry at Israel for killing enemy soldiers, even as they're completely silent about Hamas's most recent massive rocket barrage against Israeli civilians.

'No One Is Coming for Your Gas Stove': Look at How New Yorkers Cook After Hochul Cut Off Their Gas We suppose, technically, New York Governor Kathy Hochul hasn't banned gas stoves. She just prohibits it being used in buildings, so while New Yorkers like David here can't cook with gas, they still own a gas stove. Checkmate, conservatives! Or something. But check out how a guy living in Manhattan -- one of the most expensive cities in the world -- is forced to cook since Hochul cut the gas to his apartment building: [...] https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/09/20/this-is-how-people-live-after-hochul-cut-off-gas-to-their-apartments-n2401215

DeSantis: Fed Investigators Refuse to Cooperate With Florida's Assassination Attempt Probe Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Thursday said that federal investigators have refused to cooperate with state officials conducting their own investigation into the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, which occurred Sunday at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. During an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham — after signing an executive order earlier this week authorizing Florida's attorney general to open a criminal investigation into the incident — DeSantis said the feds have rebuffed state officials several times.

Looks like Israel preemptively struck just in time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Report: Hezbollah Had an 'October 7-Like' Attack in the Works Before It Was Blown to Smithereens [...] Reports have since emerged that Hezbollah was planning an "October 7-like" attack on Israel codenamed "Conquer the Galilee." October 7, 2023, was, of course, the day that Hamas terrorists from Gaza conducted a merciless assault on Israel, resulting in the barbarous murders of thousands of Israelis and the kidnappings of hundreds more — many of whom are still being held hostage nearly a year later. Following the latest action by Israel, the IDF revealed what they believe Hezbollah was planning: [...} https://redstate.com/terichristoph/2024/09/20/report-hezbollah-had-an-october-7-like-attack-in-the-works-before-it-was-blown-to-smithereens-n2179576
