And another! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Does He Think It's Gaza? Biden's FINALLY Going to East Palestine but It May Be Too Little, Too Late [...] For a long time, critics have called out the President for failing to visit, even though he'd promised to a while ago. He even went so far as to say there's 'a lot going on', so those poor folks in deep red Ohio will just have to wait.

We consumed quite a few tortilla cheaps, ingest we man. Afterward, we said to ex-Mrs.-T-B., "You bought us cheap," well-known personal & VJ joke man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. also had a potted cilantro plant in the kitchen sink, vile nauseating poison man. We are reminded by this that we divorced well, damned if that noisome substance enters our casa again man. The Rojo is welcome to live his remaining years under threat of ingesting that Hell-spawned flora, si man. (Next, we will reveal how we really feel about cilantro, melt your computer man.) Returned to casa and demand-attentioning miu, si man. Party with the rubias after late TV news, cavort we man.

Ex-Mrs. T-B. has clarified that the Hawaii trip is to accompany the Rojo on a trip to a business conference, hmmmph man. We hope that it monsoons the whole time, ha ha man.

True -- a topic for further investigation.

It does, but this is a record or close to it. I blame manmade global warming.

And leave them a urinal just out of their reach.

Wednesday... time for our much-needed Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ============================================================= "WHAT'S YOUR NAME, SAILOR?" A crusty Navy Master Chief noticed a new face in his unit and barked at him immediately. "Get over here! What's your name, sailor?" "John," the new seaman replied. "Look, I don't know what kind of bleeding-heart pansy junk they're teaching sailors in boot camp these days, but I don't call anyone by his first name!" said the chief. "Familiarity leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my sailors by their last names only -- Smith, Jones, Baker, Jackson, whatever. And you are to refer to me as 'Master Chief.'" He gave the sailor a threatening glare. "Do I make myself clear?" "Aye, aye, Master Chief!" "Now that we've got that straight, what's your last name?" The seaman said, "Darling -- my name is John Darling, Master Chief." "OK, John, here's what I want you to do..."

I got, and did, the same. I'm now somewhat worried that someone has my info who shouldn't.

Funny! Interesting insights. Can we imagine if a large city used water rights to bully its suburbs?

IDF, Shin Bet: We Stopped Another 10/7-Style Hamas Massacre Plotted From West Bank Hospital Perhaps Hamas has not received the memo. Using hospitals as cover and human-shield strategies while plotting terrorist attacks no longer works, at least according to the IDF and Shin Bet. Acting on intelligence that Hamas' leadership abroad had coordinated weapons distribution from a cell embedded in a Jenin hospital, the IDF conducted a raid and killed its leader and two other operatives. Hamas had planned to run another October 7-style massacre out of the West Bank using the Ibn Sina hospital as its command center, Israel claims: [...] https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/01/30/idf-shin-bet-we-stopped-another-10-7-style-hamas-massacre-plotted-from-west-bank-hospital-n608373

U.S. retirees found affordability in Ecuador. What happens when crisis hits? At her house in Ecuador's third largest city, its colonial buildings framed by the Andes mountains, LaRahna Hughes’ phone buzzed repeatedly with messages from relatives and friends back in the United States. Are you OK? Are you getting out of the country? It was early January, and Ecuador's president declared that the nation had entered an "internal armed conflict," mobilizing the military to fight drug gangs. The growing violence had reached a boiling point. There had been bombings. Prison guards were taken hostage. Masked gunmen took over a live TV broadcast.

Welcome to the forum! You can't prove a negative. Remember that every visitor is viewed as intending to immigrate. Answer as pushbrk recommends. If the CBP agent probes further, say, "We need to collect further evidence of our bona fide relationship to support the eventual consular interview after we file the I-129F or I-130." CBP's only possible response to that would be a startled, "Well, good."

I wonder how the suburbs resist attempts (or orders) from their big cities to accept illegals. Chicago was doing this earlier, but I don't remember how the suburbs handled it.

Sent in pennies?

We have not slept in 2 nights and 1 of 2 naps, no zzz for we man man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. announced that she's going to Hawaii in mid-March, aloha ex-she man man. This is a bit much for just her birthday, not a milestone one man. We suspect that this will be her honeymoon with the Rojo, wedding beforehand or there man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. also said that the Rojo intends to buy a casa somewhat far away, this summer man. We also have the inkling that, not immediately, ex-Mrs.-T-B. will lobby to claim Mini-B. full-time "because he needs to live with a family," si man. We have the following 2 "prospects*," sigh man: *the rubias aren't prospects, fun-only man 1. Someone from a dating site whom we spoke with once, 2 years + half a year ago, status/interest unknown man. 2. A former POTS employee who didn't respond to 2 communicative reach-outs from us, not promising man. If we won a free trip around the world, we'd have no one to ask to accompany us, no man. We are feeling rather out on a limb, unclear how to proceed man.
