Dollars are happily accepted in the Mexican border towns that I've gone to, for payments and tips. If the people aren't charged a fee for exchanging dollars for pesos, then dollars would be fine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Theologians Debate Whether God Could Design IKEA Bookcase Even He Could Not Assemble OXFORD — Theologians have begun intensely debating whether God is capable of designing an IKEA bookcase that He cannot assemble. The hotly contested argument arose among well-respected theological minds after one divinity student raised the omniscience paradox regarding whether God was powerful enough to create a piece of IKEA furniture so confusing and misshapen that He would then be unable to put it together Himself.

Tim Walz's Dog Endorses Trump ST. PAUL, MN — In a stunning development today, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's dog "Scout" has officially endorsed Donald J. Trump for president in 2024. "Bark!" said Scout in a statement. The dog, reportedly one of Tim Walz's closest friends in the world, confirmed that he was supporting Trump because of his position on immigration and support of Israel. "Woof!" said Scout, doubling down on his position. [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/tim-walzs-dog-scout-endorses-trump

Amazon Says Error Caused Alexa To Say 'If You Vote For Trump, I Will Kill You In Your Sleep' SEATTLE, WA — Amazon apologized this week for a technical glitch that caused its Alexa home assistant device to reply, "If you vote for Donald Trump, I will kill you in your sleep" when asked about the upcoming election. "Whoops. Our bad," said Amazon Spokesman Marcus Gleason to reporters. "We may have made a teensy little error in the programming that caused Alexa to threaten to murder Republicans.

You gotta gotta gotta gotta GOTTA watch this video. ------------ WATCH: Tulsi Gabbard Warns Kamala Has and Will Engage in Political Retaliation and Brings the RECEIPTS A month ago, we told you the Biden-Harris administration put Tulsi Gabbard on a terror watchlist. Why? Gabbard did an interview with Laura Ingraham back in July that criticized the Biden-Harris administration for, among other things, the abuse and weaponization of the government against its political opponents. And they proved her right. This video is long, but worth a watch. She talked not only about retaliation against her, but against Matt Taibbi who dropped the Twitter Files, Catherine Herridge, who was fired by CBS for unfavorable reporting on the Biden administration and others. This video is so well done and you MUST watch: [...] https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/09/04/watch-tulsi-gabbard-speaks-about-being-on-terror-watch-list-says-kamala-will-retaliate-against-us-n2400520

An even better (?) story about this. ~~~~~~~~~~ North Korean Leader Kim Jong-Un Executes 30 Officials After Flooding Kills 4,000 https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2024/09/04/north-korean-leader-kim-jong-un-executes-30-officials-after-flooding-kills-4000-n4932224

Kim Jong-un Executes Dozens of His Own Officials The Chagang Province of North Korea is a rural region along the central-western stretch of the country bordering China. Like many parts of the country, the people there have been living in near-famine conditions for several years now. As if they didn't have enough to worry about already, they were hammered with massive flooding over the course of the summer, leading to the deaths of thousands of residents. While news is slow to filter out of the hermit kingdom, it's now being revealed that North Korean tyrant Kim Jong-un quickly swooped into action in response to the plight of the people of Chagang Province. But he didn't send in any significant amounts of food and supplies or reconstruction crews to rebuild the region's infrastructure. Instead, he ordered as many as 30 local officials to be executed. The officials were charged with corruption and dereliction of duty. The executions were reportedly carried out without delay.

Greta Thunberg Arrested Again Normally, a story about Swedish "climate activist" Greta Thunberg being arrested at a protest amounts to little more than a dog-bites-man article. She's constantly getting hauled away by the authorities for the various disruptions she causes. This morning it happened again, this time in Copenhagen. But this latest arrest came with a bit of a twist. Typically, Thunberg is hauled in for climate change protests. But this week, the disruptions she caused had nothing to do with climate change as far as I can tell. [...] https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/09/04/greta-thunberg-arrested-again-n3794032

Tiananmen Tim Walz, our Manchurian VP candidate: Will he put China first or America first? The Manchurian Candidate, a term immortalized by the famous Cold War thriller, represents a political figure who is unwittingly brainwashed by a foreign power to undermine his own nation. While fiction often mirrors reality in unsettling ways, the story of Kamala Harris' pick for vice president, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and his kowtowing relationship with China reads like a modern-day remake of that book and film. If elected, Mr. Walz would be the highest-ranking U.S. official ever with such extensive ties to China. And let's not be naive: China's influence operations are real, and they are pervasive.

The Cartel Takeover in Colorado Is a Dispatch From the Future [...] Last week's headline reporting that a Venezuelan gang had taken over and terrorized an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, stunned observers and pierced through the "boiling frog" syndrome that often prevents U.S. media from accurately conveying the severity of the border crisis. The gang, Tren de Aragua, forcibly seized Aurora's Aspen Grove Apartments from its landlords and began patrolling the migrant-packed complex with high-powered weaponry, including AR-15s and AK-47s. The brazen nature of the takeover, common in Latin America but unprecedented in the United States, alarmed local citizens. One Aurora resident's comments to Fox News encapsulate the situation: "This is organized. They patrol the property with guns visibly, like they're not trying to hide them. There's no repercussion. These are ghosts." [...] https://www.theamericanconservative.com/the-cartel-takeover-in-colorado-is-a-dispatch-from-the-future/

Thread is moved from the CR-1 Case Progress subforum to the CR-1 Process forum. USCIS thrives on the truth, so I recommend disclosure if disclosing such travel is asked for. If it isn't asked, don't volunteer it. Actually, questions first: Are you in the U.S. now? If so, what visa did you use to enter the U.S.?

"The enemy of her enemy is her friend."

It is Wednesday already -- and, to prompt approvals and positive progress (that is, if correlation = causation), here's our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ============================================================== I SUPPOSE THERE'S A PROBLEM A man went to the doctor, who diagnosed him as having hemorrhoids. The doctor prescribed him a suppository and told him to use up to two daily, as needed, until the problem subsided. The man had never used suppositories before, so he used them like he would any other pill -- he swallowed them. They were a bit big, but he managed. A few weeks later, the man called the doctor and asked for a refill. The surprised doctor asked, "Ran out? What are you doing -- eating them?" The man answered sarcastically, "No, Doc -- I'm sticking them up my butt."

Walt Disney World Updates Hall Of Presidents By Placing President Biden In Beach Chair ORLANDO — The Hall of Presidents attraction at Walt Disney World Resort has been updated with a more realistic Joe Biden animatronic that is vacationing while asleep in a beach chair.

Imagineers reportedly visited President Biden and recorded real audio of him snoring for the attraction.
