Go to his/her official website and find the "release form" that permits them to inquire/intervene on your behalf. If you have trouble finding it or completing it, call the Congressman's office (probably in Washington, DC) and ask for the Immigration Liaison. Let us know what happens -- we care.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard: Obama Orchestrated A "Treasonous Conspiracy... Yearslong Coup" Against Trump Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told FNC's "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo that recently released documents implicate President Obama in a "treasonous conspiracy" to fabricate evidence for a Trump-Russia conspiracy, during and after the 2016 election. She says more whistleblowers and documents are coming to provide more evidence and says the Justice Department will be considering charges on those involved, including FISA judges, John Brennan, James Clapper, and others inside the so-called "deep state." She also suggests special counsels Robert Mueller and John Durham knowingly ignored this evidence. Gabbard says it is now up to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to act and that the future of American democracy could hang in the balance.

But will chickens roost? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DNI Tulsi Gabbard Releases Declassified Info on Russiagate I will have a lot more to say on this—and have been working on a few pieces related to this historic scandal—but I wanted to immediately share the report released today by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that proves once and for all that President Barack Obama orchestrated the yes, coup, against the incoming president of the United States. "These documents detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate," Gabbard wrote on X. (Her full thread can be found here.) Not only do the documents demonstrate the intelligence community did not believe Russia could (before) or did (after) interfere in the 2016 presidential election, Gabbard's report disclosed an important 24-hour period where ex-FBI Director James Comey suddenly parted ways with his intel colleagues who at the time were preparing a president's daily brief indicating the Russians did not meddle in the election.

It's still Sunday in some time zones, so here in greatest haste is our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== BAD (OR GOOD) ONES You're not completely useless... you can always serve as a bad example. I threw a boomerang a few years ago. I now live in constant fear. I broke my finger last week. On the other hand, I'm OK. I took the shell off my racing snail, thinking it would make him run faster. If anything, it made him more sluggish. Why should you never marry a tennis player? Because Love means Nothing to them. I told my wife that she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised. My wife accused me of being immature. I told her to get out of my fort. Someone stole my mood ring. I don't know how I feel about that. My grandfather has the heart of a lion... and a lifetime ban from the zoo. You don't need a parachute to go skydiving. You need a parachute to go skydiving TWICE.

UK Muslims Demand Voting Age Be Lowered To 13 So Their Wives Can Vote LONDON — In a protest to make the nation's democratic process more inclusive, Muslims in the United Kingdom marched to demand that the voting age be lowered to 13 so their wives would be able to vote. Following intense debate on the wisdom and necessity of lowering the voting age in the UK, lawmakers agreed that there could be a case to be made for making it legal for the child brides of the country's millions of Muslim residents to vote in elections. "Every wife in the UK should have the right to vote, even when they are children," said UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Finally! ~~~~~~~~ Adios NPR, PBS [...] NPR is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It enjoys the tax-exempt privileges of a 501(c)(3) organization, yet operates as a de facto mouthpiece for the Democratic Party and progressive ideology. Uri Berliner exposed just how deep the imbalance runs: NPR's D.C. editorial newsroom includes 87 registered Democrats and zero Republicans—a staggering disparity that makes "viewpoint diversity" nothing more than a myth. That arrogance has not gone unnoticed by the public. For example, a May 2024 DailyMail.com/TIPP poll showed that voters, by a wide margin, favored stripping National Public Radio of taxpayer funding due to concerns about political bias. Fully 44 percent said NPR should lose its government support, while only 26 percent wanted funding to continue, and 31 percent were unsure. [...] https://tippinsights.com/adios-npr-pbs/
