Away from the ice machine, por favor!" [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/genius-frugal-family-poses-as-illegal-immigrants-to-get-free-hotel-oom-in-nyc

DC CVS empties its shelves in anticipation of shoplifting and looting Boy, this video takes us back to the days of "Empty Shelves Joe," where store shelves were bare and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was on extended paternity leave while the supply chain buckled.

The White House Dog Scandal [...] In case anyone thinks the president and first lady Jill Biden don't know what is happening, consider this email from Oct. 26, 2022. "Recently Commander has been exhibiting extremely aggressive behavior," a Secret Service officer wrote. "Today, while posted, he came charging at me. The First Lady couldn't regain control of Commander and he continued to circle me. I believe it's only a matter of time before an agent/officer is attacked or bit. He would have bitten me today if I didn't step towards him a couple different times. It was bad enough that the agent on the detail asked if I got bit." Mrs. Biden apparently witnessed the whole incident. [...] https://townhall.com/columnists/byronyork/2023/10/04/the-white-house-dog-scandal-n2629283

Aha!

Maybe the illegals brought hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin along with them and will be cured within a couple of days.

Although this teacher talks on a 4th-grade level, it's from the heart, and he's not wrong. Have you faced this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Teacher Says His Students Are Severely Delayed, but No One Admits How Much One teacher is sounding the alarm on how schools are passing students to the next grade even when they're still operating years behind where they’re supposed to be. We all know that kids were educationally and developmentally delayed during the COVID-19 lockdowns, which were totally unnecessary to save children's lives and only brought them all kinds of harm. But one teacher explained in a video that Libs of TikTok shared on X (formerly Twitter) that the delay is far worse than many educators want to admit.

Wow -- read the last paragraph here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NYC hospitals are overwhelmed by migrants [...] It's nearly as difficult to find an empty hospital bed now as it was at the height of the pandemic. Many of the migrants arrive with or develop serious medical issues. And the vast majority of them have no jobs or money, they have no insurance, and they have no accessible medical records. This is placing a huge strain on the city's hospitals and sucking up resources that legal residents still require.

Dyslexics of the world, UNTIE!

Hmm... hate to be dense, but no events are ringing a specific bell until Wilson became president. And 1856 was before the Civil War. I guess that the end of Reconstruction figured into things.

Without looking it up: Franklin Pierce (ugh) was President, so... Bleeding Kansas? Millard Fillmore running on the Know-Nothing ticket? James Buchanan (double-ugh) nominated? Please elaborate.

They're the Elite, and we are not.

Wish we could pinpoint when it stopped. Bush 43 (Patriot Act)? 0bummer (everything)? Before them?

Yes, and good article.

She should have no perks beyond anyone else, except to be the focus of NB's desire.

Magnificent!

Yee-HAAAAA! [Note to T-B.'s self: Jokes worked again... jokes worked again... ]

This is correct. The confusion arises because the K-1 is a "hybrid" visa -- a nonimmigrant visa with immigrant intent. It's processed at the Immigrant Visa Units of the consulates.

Maybe not, if the ruling is pointed enough.
