An elegant, in-your-face rebuttal to bad, arrogant Democrat "logic" to help them prevent their own suicide. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Defense of Curtis Sliwa: Don't Ask Republicans to Bail out Democrats New polling showing that former Governor Andrew Cuomo has cut slightly into socialist Zohran Mamdani's lead in the race for New York City mayor has led to a flurry of calls from both sides of the aisle this week for Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa to drop out of the race. But Republicans shouldn't be asked to surrender to clean up Democrats' messes. [...] https://amac.us/newsline/politics/in-defense-of-curtis-sliwa-dont-ask-republicans-to-bail-out-democrats/

Welcome to the forum! This. Complete disclosure never hurts. USCIS and other agencies thrive on the truth.

It was the largest protest in US history. It was also embarrassingly irrelevant [...] "No Kings" has no obvious leaders, no coherent political programme or action plan, no clearly defined next steps, and not even a hint of another date for a third such demonstration. Apart from a disdain for Trump and personal endorsements by some Democratic leaders, it has no discernible ideology, no community, and little else that could define it as a movement.

Is France a fifth-world country yet? Article doesn't say whether the asylum guy was, uh, Amish. I think that a "none in, all out" policy makes more sense.

Rant, see and man: Mini-B.'s skoolbus never showed up, no man. We had to chauffeur him to skool, gridlocked traffic and infuriatingly long red lights man. He was barely Many minutes late, man. It took even longer to return to the casa consequent to gridlock, man. We discovered that Mini-B. had shut miu in his bathroom, we and poor miu man. We wrote a restrained e-mail to the Attendance office, restrained man. If they penalize him for this, we will go aysheep, man. Meanwhile, we will siesta now, zzz we man.

Our jokes have been so successful recently that we deserve Wednesday's Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THE TWO REDNECKS AND THEIR PRIZES Bubba and Billy Bob, two rednecks, were known for being quite a bit below the average intelligence in Arkansas. One day, in their local Walmart, they decided to try their luck in the weekly charity raffle. They each bought five tickets for a dollar each. The next week, when the raffle was drawn, each had won a prize. Billy Bob won first place -- a year's supply of gourmet spaghetti sauce and extra-long spaghetti. Bubba won sixth prize -- a toilet brush. A week later, when the men met back at Walmart. Bubba asked Billy Bob how he liked his prize. Billy Bob replied, "Great! I love spaghetti!" Billy Bob asked Bubba, "How about you? How's the toilet brush?" "Not so good," replied Bubba. "I reckon I'm gonna switch back to paper."

What do you think of this? I think that the airline or stewardess should have been heavily liable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fate of Flight Attendant Who Accused Army Vet of Trafficking His Daughter Is Now With Virginia's Supreme Court I've yet to read about a U.S. sex trafficking prosecution in which perpetrators took young victims on commercial airline flights, let alone one in which this crime was thwarted by vigilant airline staff. But I have encountered multiple cases in which innocent parents or partners of people on a flight have been senselessly mistaken for human traffickers and had police called on them by flight staff. That's what happened to Nicholas Cupp, a father and U.S. Army veteran who was flying with his 13-year-old daughter and other family members in December 2019. On a Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta, Georgia, to Newport News, Virginia, the teenage girl began to cry when the plane hit some turbulence. Cupp comforted his daughter—and in so doing, somehow raised the suspicions of flight attendant Cheryl Thomas. Thomas concluded from observing this interaction that Cupp could be trafficking and sexually abusing the girl.

This is some internal-checkpoint story. This clown is hosed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cuban national arrested after Border Patrol finds 19 people hidden in box truck A Cuban truck driver was arrested Friday morning after Border Patrol agents discovered 19 people concealed within a false wall inside a refrigerated trailer. Juan Manuel Sifontes-Sinales was charged with bringing in and harboring people illegally present in the United States after agents were investigating his legal status in the country, according to a criminal complaint. At about 3:35 a.m. on that day, agents at the checkpoint near Sarita encountered Sifontes-Sinales driving a white 2012 Freightlinger Box Truck. When agents asked if he was a U.S. citizen, Sifontes-Sinales handed them a Texas Driver's License and Employment Authorization Card that indicated he was a citizen of Cuba.

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man: Mini-B.'s first day back in skool after "Fall Break" & teechur in-service day, resumption man. Our gastrointestinal stuff returned with a vengeance, Montezuma revenging himself man. We alternated between trying to zzz and enjoying our luxurious Pre-Owned Toilet Seat*, dual functions man. *buy yours today, si man! Finally took 2 types of HSM and prepped for Cousinette's Many'th birthday lunch, fingers crossed we man. We de-skooled Mini-B. early without incident, uneventful man. Lunch was at a Mediterranean place, not our first choice man. The chow was plentiful, edible, and quite tasty, surprised we man. The company was good, relatives & friends at our table man. We were impressed at how mature and gracious the bilingual Mini-B. was, si man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. was right beside him, probably had an effect man. One distant cousinette thoroughly endorsed our valid PTSD from out-cleaning Mama T-B.'s casa, went through same or worse with her father previously she man. At the casa, went for a siesta, mostly restorative man. Movie night was 2 Better Call Saul episodes, watch Two Guys man. Many (2+1) bowls of Costco popcorn were consumed, ingest Two Guys man. This tallies to Many (2+2+2) for the week, quota achievable man. Our stomach held up during that and the subsequent container of Aldi strawberries, also ingest Two Guys man. We must get to some of Mama T-B.'s desired organizational chores on Wednesday, procrastinating we man. We should also up-clean the jetsam'd stuff from her old casa, feel better after removing it from view we man. Doing so would enable us to call the maid, no visit since probably March man. Of course, we'll probably have to spend most of the day zzz-ing, up at o'dark-Many again we man. And that was/is our thrilling Tuesday, report we man.

Or deceased voting, dead man man. Well, ours yells less when we don't engage her, mollificational we man.

Great news! ~~~~~~~~~ Bolivia Officially Elects Its First Non-Socialist President in 20 Years It looks like Bolivia is done with socialism. For the first time since 2005, the country has officially elected a candidate who is not a part of Evo Morales' Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) party. This comes as Bolivia faces a serious economic crisis — something that seems to go hand-in-hand with years of socialism. As I reported back in August, the country held its general election, which led to a runoff between center-right Senator Rodrigo Paz, who earned 32.18% of the vote, and conservative former President Jorge "Tuto" Quiroga, who earned 26.81% of the vote. That run-off was on Sunday. Paz won, with preliminary results showing he earned 54.5% to Quiroga's 45.5%. I know a lot of conservatives outside of Bolivia were hoping Quiroga would win, as Paz is a bit more to the center, but either way, almost everyone who isn't a leftist agrees that this is a huge improvement over the last couple of decades.

VDH is dead-nuts on target. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Who or What Will Finally End Hamas? [...] Hamas was willing to execute its Palestinian Authority rivals, cancel all elections after its first and only victory, hold kangaroo death courts to murder dissidents, and steal hundreds of billions of dollars in Western and international relief. It has already violated the ceasefire, attacking and killing Israelis, and now claims it has "lost" the remains of Israeli hostages, whom it likely murdered (and thus does not want more physical evidence of their barbarity). Hamas will never give up power, despite the fact that its ruling elite is all but wiped out, thousands of its foot soldiers are dead, and it is now loathed by most nations of the Middle East. The subtext of every negotiation over the future of Gaza is that almost every Arab regime privately wants the U.S. or Israel to eliminate Hamas. It is likely more popular at American college campuses, or in Dearborn, Michigan, and New York City—than in the Middle East. Nonetheless, the remnants of Hamas are already in public view, in SS fashion, publicly executing any alleged critics or rivals. And it hopes to be reinvigorated by the recent release of 1,700 convicted terrorists, most with Hamas ties and many flush with cash for their past killing of Jews. Hamas's current strategy?
