This is going to suck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back to School Riots: Students for Justice in Palestine Instruct Chapters to Plan Events for October 7 We all saw the pro-Hamas 'protests' and riots on college campuses this spring. Columbia, UCLA and elsewhere saw encampments of Leftists harass Jews, destroy property, and show the world how vile they are. And now it appears they're gearing up for Round Two.

Gonna Lock Up the Whole Country? Judge Warns Even 'Curious Observers' of Riots Will Be LOCKED UP It's been a banner week for the United Kingdom. Amid riots and protests over the stabbing of children at a Taylor Swift dance class (where three children died and several more were seriously wounded), UK law enforcement has tried to block non-UK IP addresses and threatened to extradite and imprison Americans for social media posts. The UK Secretary of State says those unhappy with unfettered migration (and the associated cultural fallout and crime) will be punished to the 'fullest extent' of the law for speaking out. Now they've doubled down and it's a crime to even look at the riots. You don't have to be a participant in the riots, you don't have to post anything 'offensive' on social media. You just have to look. [...] https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/08/10/uk-will-lock-up-even-people-who-watch-riots-n2399452

Snopes Unsure if Huge Crowds for Kamala Harris Don't Cast Reflections When I first saw this image of Kamala Harris touching down in Detroit in Air Force Two to a huge crowd of supporters, it looked real enough to me. That's because I never look closely enough. Democrat strategist Rachel Bitcofer posted the photo to her feed.

Focused on pending events in Canada, but applicable worldwide. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Islam and the Future of the West [...] That Gazans have been abused and deceived by their leaders is provably true. That they have been exploited and deprived by the Israelis is provably false. The problem, it has been said, is that this is a people several generations steeped in professional hate, self-proclaimed victimhood, and grifting leaders, so much so that no country—Middle East or otherwise—wants them. Except Canada. And that is why I write, not only as a grateful scion and beneficiary of Western civilization, but quite humbly as a Canadian. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to import 5000 Gazans, an initiative that argues for a further upsurge in antisemitism, more disruptive pro-Palestinian demonstrations and certainly even more dereliction of duty by the police and political officials who will turn a blind eye to the Muslim-inspired breakdown of public order lest they be considered racist. Clearly, these are not a people who are likely to assimilate into the culture or share the values and traditions that made Canada what it is—or was. From the data furnished by every Western nation that has welcomed a growing Muslim cohort in its midst, we can expect only resentment, tribal conflicts, sporadic violence and a massive drain on the nation's resources and finances.

We'll see if Kommie follows through. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kamala: 'I'll Do an Interview Before the End of the Month' It's August 9th today, and Kamala Harris has been the Democrat nominee for about three weeks. In that time she has given prepared remarks almost exclusively, with a sentence or two deviations, but taken no questions from reporters. During that time reporters have excused this as Kamala getting her feet under her, as if she hasn't been in politics for decades and Vice President for 3 1/2 years.

This is ominous and unconscionable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Labour to 'Define' Islamophobia So It Can More Easily Continue Its War on Native Brits UPDATE [...] What has happened to that stalwart race of "stout-hearted fellows" who wrote the Magna Carta and forced a king to sign it? The country whose principles from which we developed our own glorious American vision of freedom from government oppression now warn...no. THREATENS its citizens openly in such a manner.

The Company Walz Chooses: Hosted Pro-Hitler Muslim Cleric Who Celebrated Oct 7 This report from Washington Examiner reporter Gabe Kaminsky offers us two possible insights into the Kamala Harris campaign. One: They have done a terrible job at vetting for Harris' most important decision of the campaign. Or two: They did an excellent job at vetting and this really shows the values Harris will bring to the presidency. I pray that it's Option One, but I suspect that it's Option Two. According to Kaminsky and his research, Tim Walz has repeatedly hosted a Muslim cleric who praises Hitler, as well as including him in his 2019 state address. Asad Zaman has also recently praised the October 7 massacre and atrocities as a legitimate expression of Palestinian grievances: [...] https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/08/09/the-company-walz-chooses-hosted-pro-hitler-muslim-cleric-who-celebrated-oct-7-n3792911

We deserve answers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Kamala Media Blackout Would Be Amazing If She Weren't Running For President [...] Three weeks have passed since Joe Biden was pushed out of the 2024 presidential race over deteriorating physical and mental abilities, and he has yet to publicly clarify with any specificity why he took this unprecedented step — or why, if he's incapable of campaigning for the presidency, he's fit to serve out his term in the White House. Then again, not one journalist in the corporate or legacy media has explained how Biden's obvious senility could turn from a democracy-corroding MAGA misinformation operation into an accepted reality in a single day. If they were fooled for three years, how can we trust them? If they weren't fooled, and they didn't tell us, how can we trust them? Well, we can't. Because they’re back at it. The Democrats' new presidential candidate, who's never won a single primary vote, might have been crowned but hasn't given a real interview or even an extemporaneous political statement since Democrat bigwigs pushed Biden aside. In a functioning liberal 'democracy,' this would be pretty big news. [...] https://thefederalist.com/2024/08/08/the-kamala-media-blackout-would-be-amazing-if-she-werent-running-for-president/

VDH lays it on the line. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Harris Flop Would Be Scarier Than Her Flip [...] In general, the left acknowledges that its spread-the-wealth, high taxes, big government, open borders, soft on crime, and woke DEI agendas don't appeal to 51 percent of the people. That reality requires disinformation for leftist policies to be implemented. No one voted for the Biden-Harris ticket to borrow trillions sparking hyperinflation, to wage war on fossil fuels, to go woke, to welcome in 10 million illegal aliens, to abandon $50 billion in weapons to the terrorist Taliban, and to find America facing existential wars in Ukraine and the Middle East and soon perhaps over Taiwan. But getting leftists elected requires fooling the American people into thinking their "moderate" campaign veneers will continue into their presidencies -- even though they never do.

An unrelated post has been split from this thread into its own topic in the "AOS from K Visas" Process forum.

The above was split from a topic in the K-1 forum. As soon as you have all the paperwork items required for the I-485 package.

It happens very, very often, and we read stories here about it all the time.

Yes. You can marry by means of the Utah Zoom process. Search for it on this site.

Anyone who's celebrating this -- hacking by enemies who would brutally kill all of us with great relish -- needs to consider the objective implications.

What Sarah said. Mrs. T-B. (who came on a K-1) & I married via Justice of the Peace on Hallowe'en, then had our wedding bash on Pearl Harbor Day. You have the opportunity to fulfill the legal marriage now or soon, and then plan the bash of your dreams at your leisure in the U.S.

Thrilling Saturday non-GS/ES/MS report, see man: Breakfast was a ham sandwich, indict it and ingest we man. Then GS'd/ES'd/MS'd, see above and sigh man. Toward end, stopped at Aldi for Many (2+2) items and got Many (2+2+1) items, add chocolate cake for Two Guys week we man. Lunch at the casa was onebag of nuked mixed vegetables, ingest and diet we man. We then mow-lawned, full job before Two Guys week man. Very hot, very humid, very windless, but mostly overcast, only boon man. Many (2+2) sweatbands were consumed, Many (2+1) job 1 recovery man. Off-cooled while watching men's basketball at the Paris Ozempics, watch we man. Showered and siesta'd, zzz we man. After the mow-lawning, we were again below our weight-loss line, man. Arose and finished Mini-B.'s skool shopping, diligent we man. It is tax-free weekend in Texas for such supplies, financially savvy we man. Went to a supermarket for this, cheaper and far more relaxing than Walmart man. Din-din was Modified Tuna Glop, ingest and diet we man. Miu has been lobbying for miu-meals and miu-treats all day, gluttonous miu man. Party with the rubias tonight, cavort we man. And that was/is our thrilling Saturday, report we man.

Saturday GS/ES/MS report, see man: We attended all, reliable we man. The MSs were ghastly, ugh man. The GSs were wastes, drive on by after pausing to look man. The ESs were duds, oh well man. We were skunked, sigh man. This weekend, we attended Many (2x2x2x2 -1) GSs/ESs/MSs, calculate we man. Many (2x2x2x2 -2-1) were duds, cipher we man. This translates to a Many% ([2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2x2 +2+2+2+1]%) dud rate, all-time record man. However, the 2 ESs that paid off did so very well, see Friday ES report man.

Yes. As others have recommended, marry and file the I-130 papers.

So much for thorough vetting of one's VP choice... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BOMBSHELL: Tim Walz's Former Unit Commander Goes on CNN, Delivers Devestating Testimony In a devastating development, current Kamala Harris running mate Tim Walz's former unit commander appeared on CNN and completely blew up the scandal surrounding the abandoning of his unit before its deployment to Iraq. For days, the mainstream press has claimed that Walz did not know about the deployment before deciding to retire early and run for Congress. Command Seargent Major Doug Julin, who was the now-Minnesota governor's direct report, went through the timeline with Laura Coates. Not only did Walz know about the deployment, but he had committed to go. It was only after he went around Julin that he was able to secure his retirement, leaving his unit hamstrung just months before they shipped out.

~~~~~~~~~~~ Family Heads To Public Pool For Relaxing Day Splashing In Other People's Urine TULSA, OK — A local family expressed excitement as they packed up and prepared to head out for a fun day of swimming in a giant vat of other people's urine at a nearby public pool. The Peterson family was eager to carry on the time-honored summer tradition of gathering with hundreds of total strangers and gleefully splashing and frolicking in a massive festering cocktail of mingled wee. "Ah, yeah, nothing beats a fun day of swimming around in a public pool full of pee," family dad Mark Peterson said. "The local health department says the water is only 75-85% urine at most, so it's going to be a great day."

Mom Sets Record By Enjoying 3 Sips Of Coffee Before Being Bothered By Children GREAT FALLS, MT — Local wife and mother Bonnie Auburn set a new record Thursday morning when she managed to enjoy three consecutive sips of coffee before being bothered by her children. The children ended her run when they suddenly bolted from their bedrooms like the bulls of Pamplona. "Mom. Mom! What's for breakfast? Did you get Cheerios? I like Cheerios. UGH, I HATE SHREDDED WHEAT!" the children said as they poked her in the ribs. [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/mom-sets-record-by-enjoying-3-sips-of-coffee-before-being-bothered-by-children
