This article is like a car wreck -- couldn't take my eyes off of it. California Democrats are insane and should be institutionalized. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sharing Socialist Pain: Besides Mandating EVs, CA Gonna to Stick It To Anyone Using Electricity [...] All the state does in response to the ensuing and entirely predictable snafus is play whack-a-mole. Witness their latest plan for "restructuring" their skyrocketing electric bills in order to make them more "equitable." And, yes - kilowatts apparently behave differently depending on what socio-economic strata the walls they come through are built for. Bet you didn't know that.

The author raises interesting points. Comments about all this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mnuchin: I Want to Make TikTok American Again [...] Mnuchin has no intention of taking TikTok private. He wants to fold in existing US investors and make sure that the shares are widely distributed to force a collaborative management structure, the former Treasury Secretary told CNBC, with no entity controlling more than 10%. Mnuchin wants the platform in American hands, especially with its influence on American youth: [...] https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/03/14/mnuchin-i-want-to-buy-tiktok-to-make-it-american-n3784674

Fascinating article. Comments about the findings? (The environmental whackos will probably all say, "Then blow up Mars! Save the planet!") ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Surprise! The Cause of Climate Change Is... Mars? This might come as a bit of a disappointment to the devotees of the Climate Goddess. Some astronomists and researchers have been doing what those sorts of eggheads typically do, studying variations in planetary orbits in our solar system. They recently published their results in respected science journals and some of their conclusions are quite remarkable. It turns out that the orbits of the Earth and Mars interact in a predictable cycle as the planets make their way endlessly around the sun. And those interactions produce measurable effects on our planet. Among those are cyclical changes in the shape of our orbit and they seem to coincide with historical periods where global temperatures have exhibited fluctuations.

If the November election isn't fixed again, I agree with this author that there may be backlash. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The High Price of Democrats' Anti-Trump Lawfare The newest buzzword in our politics is lawfare, or using the legal system as a weapon against a political opponent. It sits before us now as a spectacle of political gluttony. How many lawsuits, court motions and judgments against Donald Trump can the Democratic Party chow down? More disturbing is the high price the American system may pay for this excess.

Kash Patel speaks truth to justice. There's no excuse. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J6 Committee's Suppressed Evidence Scandal Exonerates Trump From 'Insurrection' Narrative The greatest con job ever to happen in American politics is the false Jan. 6 "insurrection" narrative. The singular mission of this narrative is to stop Donald Trump from ever setting foot in the Oval Office again. A key pillar of the left's propaganda about insurrection is to distort the truth surrounding whether Trump authorized, prior to Jan. 6, the deployment of National Guard troops to keep order on that day. The main architect of this disinformation campaign is former Congresswoman Liz Cheney.

Terrorists Decide Against Hijacking Plane After Realizing It's A Boeing U.S. — An attack by a cell belonging to a violent extremist group was averted last week, as terrorists decided against hijacking a plane after finding out it was made by Boeing. The hijacking, which was allegedly planned to be carried out over the weekend, was called off at the last minute after the group of terrorists behind the plot discovered the flight they were targeting was a Boeing 737, which meant everyone on board — including the terrorists — would be in serious danger.

Progressives Fear That Without TikTok, They Won't Be Able To Convince Kids To Join Their Weird Sex Cult [...] Prominent personalities on the political left said their efforts to indoctrinate children into bizarre, hyper-sexualized alternative lifestyles will be far more challenging if lawmakers follow through on their attempts to outlaw the use of TikTok. "How are we supposed to twist kids' minds now?" asked Rainbow Sparklefairy, a popular TikTok influencer who actively seeks out young followers.

I've never been a fan of Family Dollar or even shopped there more than a handful of times. Regardless, FD serves many poorer neighborhoods and small communities, so this is bad news. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Dollar Ain't What It Used to Be: Family Dollar to Shutter Nearly 1,000 Stores Dollar Tree can't keep up with Bidenflation, changing consumer habits, and competition from other discount retailers — and will close nearly 1,000 of its Family Dollar locations around the country.

Comments on this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Banning TikTok is a Power Grab for the Deep State | Opinion [...] The bill names TikTok as a "foreign adversary controlled application," with the "adversary" in question being China, but it also goes further and prohibits "applications" associated with the standard litany of official U.S. "adversaries"—Russia, North Korea, and Iran. More additions to the list are always possible, perhaps in the event that Cuba or Venezuela develop a short-form dance video app that becomes suspiciously popular with American teens. Another provision authorizes the President, who is currently Joe Biden and may soon be Donald Trump, to make unilateral determinations about whether certain applications "present a significant threat to the national security of the United States," and therefore must be banned like TikTok. The criteria for making such a determination is left conspicuously vague. So if you really want to give Biden or Trump more unilateral power to control the proliferation of content online, this appears to be just the bill for you.

Just ensure that if you mail his passport, it's safe. It would be a real bummer if it got lost or stolen. Anyway, let's hope that this is the issue -- be sure to let us all know.

Scintillating Wednesday repartee, yawn man. ------- Thrilling Wednesday report, see man: Took Mama T-B. to doctor caucus, chauffeur senior she man we man. We were on time, so she didn't yell at us, si and no man. Lunch was 2 ham sandwiches, ingest we and indict them man. A nice siesta was then taken, zzz we man. Din-din was Subway* for us, Mini-B., and Cousin Mini-B. at ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa, caucus Many (2+1) Guys man. *bought WUOC, financially savvy we man Ex-Mrs.-T-B. is flying back from Hawaii with the Rojo at this writing, return ex-she man man. We were tickled to see that Cousin Mini-B. hadn't turned the casa's clocks an hour ahead, hee hee man. We were also tickled that the kitchen (at least) was a mess, hee hee man. We halfway hope that ex-Mrs.-T-B. is jet-lagged for at least 2 days, hee hee man. There's a Many-hour ([2+2+1]-hour) time-difference, that's a lot man. Of note, it takes over 2 hours longer to fly to Hawaii than to Ecu, note we man. Anyway, a good Many (2+1) Guys evening was had, conclude we man. We spent the rest of the eve on a project, concentrational we man. Party with the rubias is in full swing, cavort we man.

It's saddening and maddening.

Welcome to the forum! 1. Follow the above advice. The consulate is well aware of the nature of Hondureño addresses, and USCIS can be taken care of as suggested. 2. Do NOT (do not!) write "NONE" for middle name! It can be misinterpreted. Use dashes: --- For the surname, capitalize the actual surname -- e.g., GARCIA Sanchez. 3. Fill in "none" or "N/A" as the forms suggest. Don't sweat grayed-out boxes.

"Face time" (time spent together in person) is the chief way for the consular officer to validate a bona fide relationship. You can pass the USCIS petition phase by meeting once within 2 years before filing, but the consular phase is a separate matter. As recommended, try to meet again, either before filing the petition or between filing and the visa interview.

Welcome to the forum! Sorry for the bad news. No, they wouldn't want your original U.S. passport. Might his Mexican passport be expired or damaged? Just speculating. The consulate can clarify, tough though it is to reach it. *** Thread is moved to the Mexico/Latin/South American regional forum for country-specific advice. ***

In the current political climate, maybe slaps on the wrist are considered severe.
