Populism is laying waste to the German establishment 'A political earthquake.' 'Historic.' 'A mass rejection of our democratic state.' These are just some of the phrases that have been used to describe Sunday's elections in two eastern German states – Saxony and Thuringia.

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.?

It's Bush's Trump's fault.

Wow. And are you back from Asia? How was it?

Next will be the ghetto, then the cleansing of the ghetto...

"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."

LinkedIn Congratulates Man On 5 Years At Dead-End Job Without Killing Himself TROY, NY—Showering his screen with balloons and confetti while asking him to confirm the information was accurate, LinkedIn reportedly congratulated local man Steve Romano on Tuesday for reaching five years at his dead-end job without killing himself. "Great job, Steve! You've hit the five-year mark without a raise or promotion or even once running a razor across your wrists!" read the autogenerated message from the career-focused social media site, which also prompted [...] https://theonion.com/linkedin-congratulates-man-on-5-years-at-dead-end-job-without-killing-himself/

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. "When people think Biden — they think of an elderly man relaxing on a Delaware beach somewhere while the world burns," said Disney CEO Robert Iger. "We are proud of this true-to-life likeness." Imagineers reportedly visited President Biden and recorded real audio of him snoring for the attraction.

Surprise! ~~~~~~~~~ Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, And Barack Obama Back Brazil-Style Censorship [...] Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and vice presidential candidate Tim Walz both repeatedly endorsed the three main censorship tactics used by the Brazilian government: censorship of election "misinformation," de-platforming political opponents, and cross-platform bans, which ban a person not just from one social media platform but from many or even all of them.

This is worth reading and considering. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What Really Happened to JD Vance in Erie [...] Vance said that if he was going to discuss any questions related to Abbey Gate, "It's that Kamala Harris is so asleep at the wheel that she won't even do an investigation into what happened, and she wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up. ... She can go to hell." His remarks came in response to a reporter's question about an alleged incident that occurred when former President Donald Trump visited Arlington National Cemetery with family members of those who were killed in the attack. While the "go to hell" quip made headlines, it was all the other things Vance did last Wednesday and the groundswell of support he received that are important in understanding where voters' sentiments lie toward either ticket.

Thanks, Border Czar Kamala! 75 Percent of Arrests in NYC Are Illegal Immigrants Remember when the Left insisted that illegal immigrants commit far fewer crimes than American citizens? Ya know, if you ignore the fact that 100% of them have broken immigration laws. But we apparently don't enforce those anymore. In Aurora, Colorado we've seen Venezuelan gangs take over apartment buildings and now they're doing the same thing in Chicago, Illinois. Seems newsy. So does this: [...] https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/09/03/nyc-75-of-arrests-are-illegals-n2400459

The Trials and Tribulations of Traveling 500 Miles in an EV in One Day [...] I just don't get electric cars. Thanks to Julie Myhre-Nunes of Nerdwallet, I now understand why so many people are opposed to buying them. She drove a Chevy Volt from San Jose to Las Vegas, a 500-mile trip. Google Maps says the trip should take about 8 hours. Ms. Myhre-Nunes's trip took 11.5 hours. (More about that below.) There may be a lot of people on the fence about purchasing an EV but I'm not one of them. I would love to get one if they can ever match a gas-powered car in performance, range, and style (the Tesla is pretty snazzy). But the timeline looks to be about 10 years before they can solve some of the most pressing problems with EVs that make driving one an exercise in blood pressure control. First, [...] https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2024/09/03/the-trials-and-tribulations-of-traveling-500-miles-in-an-ev-n4932210

Any tip is a GOOD tip.

Alexa is obviously a "Kommie" operative.

It's one part of taking action instead of the litany of "can't, don't, won't." No one can say which specific elements of "taking action" will help or not -- being proactive, instead of wallowing in inaction, is what's important.

Josh, ICE has its hands full with large cases. In instances such as yours, the FDNS Officer at your local USCIS office would be the appropriate individual to receive information about individual fraud, potential or actual. You would need to compile all evidence -- more than enough to convince a dubious stranger (FDNS officer) -- and hand it over, optimally in person and in dispassionate fashion. The kicker surrounding this is that you will never hear of action (not) taken, so closure will elude you. Follow the advice regarding divorce and protecting yourself, with our sympathy and best wishes.
