Comments about VDH's double-standard examples? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We Are Well Beyond Hypocrisy The abject narcissism of the insular Left is startling. They apparently believe the American public is amnesiac enough to forget what leftists once did, now that they're doing the utter opposite. And they assume we are to discount their hypocrisy and self-absorption simply because they self-identify as erudite and moral and assume their opponents are irredeemable and deplorable.

Joe Biden's crumbling relationship with Benjamin Netanyahu could easily turn into an all-out disaster Over the many years they have been in the public eye, Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu were never friends and rarely allies. Their fundamental political differences were compounded by years of long-distance disagreement. Then suddenly, terrorism brought them together in something of a shotgun wedding. Biden visited Israel just 11 days after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack where he and Netanyahu embraced in an awkward, aborted hug. In hindsight, that appears to have been the high point of their new relationship. It's been downhill ever since and [...] https://nypost.com/2023/12/16/opinion/joe-bidens-crumbling-relationship-with-benjamin-netanyahu-could-easily-turn-into-an-all-out-disasterjoe-bidens-crumbling-relationship-with-benjamin-netanyahu-could-easily-turn-into-an-all-out-disaster/

Thrilling Sunday report, see man: Miu awoke us by climbing on our stomach, obviously lobbying for miu-breakfast, obvious miu man. After miu consumed breakfast, miu zoomed around like a wildmiu, ingest and zoom miu man. Took Mini-B. for visit to Mama T-B., ecstatic senior she man. Mama T-B. almost ignored Mini-B.* in favor of instructing/lecturing/yelling at us, come on now man. *who was fine playing on his phone, engrossed wee man We were ordered to do several tasks, tasked we man. One of these was to align all rolls of foil/plastic wrap/baggies precisely even with each other in Mama T-B.'s cabinet, man. Not one micron of deviation was allowed, no man. This accounted for 2 yelling-sessions, who's measuring anyway man. Mini-B.'s lunch was the Sunday serving from downstairs, ingest most wee man. Our lunch was those leftovers, ingest we man. At the casa, our continued lunch was Mini-B.'s leftover half-burger from Friday, ingest we man. Watched second half of football game with a partially attentive Mini-B., watch almost Two Guys man. We consumed 2 bowls of Costco popcorn, not counted in record total because Mini-B. had none, ingest we but not wee man. Conquered laundry, make-bedding, et al., domestically industrious we man. Got a brief siesta, Mini-B. happily computer-gaming with an amigo man. Din-din for Mini-B. was microwave rice + onecan tuna, ingest wee man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. then came over, end of Two Guys week man. Ex-she man agreed to try some "seasoned cheese Manyangles" ([2+1)angles) that we had bought some time ago WUOC** but not found occasion to serve, si and no man. **financially savvy we man We air-fried a Manyzen of these, Many (2+2) for ex-she man and Many (2x2x2) for we man man. They were good and somewhat like cheese 'za, ingest ex-she and we man. Mini-B. ignored their presence in favor of playing a computer game with an amigo, engrossed wee man. Mini-B. ultimately left, bye wee man man. It was a good Two Guys week, all-time popcorn record set man. We went to Dollar General for the first Many'rd of Uncle T-B.'s gargantuan grocery list, got that much man. It is nonperishables that can remain in the T-B.-mobile overnight before delivery, reason we man. We wish for more frequent grocery trips for fewer listed items, will never happen man. But we enjoy helping Uncle T-B. nevertheless, casa-bound senior he man. We have dished and must de-dish the warsher, domestically industrious we man. The rubias will party with us imminently, cavort we man.

Jonathan Turley. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hunter Biden's Contempt of Congress Has Wider Consequences [...] Fox News quoted White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre saying that President Biden "was certainly familiar with what his son was going to say," which suggests that the president spoke with his son before his act of contempt and discussed his statement.

Thrilling (and historic) Saturday report, see man: Day started frustratingly, sigh man. Began running errands for Mama T-B., particular senior she man. She gave us a short list of stuff from Dollar Tree, perhaps half a Manyzen man. "And if they don't have it for $1 + half-of-half a buck, don't buy it, no man!" instructed senior she man. Dollar Tree was mobbed and had 2 of her half a Manyzen items, man. Furthermore, neither was a good deal because of "unit price," rip-offs man. When will Mama T-B. recognize that the former dollar stores are no longer bargains, man? Returned with Subway*, ingest Two Guys man. *bought WUOC, financially savvy we man Went to 2 other stores to try to find what she wanted, man. Finally got off-urinated, returned to casa, and ordered from Amazon, found there man. Could have done that in the first place, slightly higher price be damned man. Mini-B. spent time with ex-Mrs.-T-B. today, delayed non-Two-Guys time man. We tried to siesta but got multiple texts from ex-Mrs.-T-B., just hit "send" once for once man. Awoke and went to Many (2+1) of the same store to try to save Mama T-B. $Many ($2+2+1), man. Item not stocked or available, no man. What about the time and gas spent in these pursuits, huh man? The price on the sales receipt is only one part of it, man. No din-din for us, sacrifice time and interest in these wild-goose chases we man. Did xerox Mama T-B.'s new Will, at least accomplished that man. And senior she man will probably scream about the cost of that, man. Mini-B. returned in time for Movie Night, Many'th of this week man. We watched more episodes of Young Sheldon, quite good in Two Guys' view man. And we have momentous, historic news to report, see and drum roll man: The weekly popcorn record of Many was broken, trumpet we man. Not just broken, oj nie; not just smashed, no man; but obliterated, oj tak and si and whee man. The old record was Many (2x2x2x2 +2+2+1), quite respectable man. The new record is Many (2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2 +1), awesome and drop-jawwing man. In other P-Math terms, the new record is Many (2 Manyzen +1), emphasize the point we man. We are proud of ourself, self-back-pat we man. We are proud of Mini-B., congratulate we man wee man several times man. We are proud of Two Guys, congratulate the team we man. "We're Two Guys, si man! We eat what we want when we want, si man!" This popcorn record shall almost certainly never be equaled by any Two Guys anywhere, assuredly not man. It is a dream come true and possibly fit for the Guinness Book, si man. Not much else can be said, no man. Let history show that we are proud, si and whee man. Party with the rubias in full swing, cavort we man.

We're all pulling for a speedier process for you. You can spend the time becoming an "A" student of all stages of the immigration process. In addition, you can make plans so that she can hit the ground running upon ultimate arrival. Finally, you can believe everything that jan22 says about anything in these forums.

It might depend on how open-minded the Human Resources people are. Do this, bringing more than one item (such as marriage certificate), and keep asking for higher supervisors until someone shows some common sense.

Genius: Man Eats 17 Tacos Before Flight So Southwest Will Give Him Free Row Of Seats DENVER, CO — Southwest Airlines, known for its humane "person of size" seating policy, was reportedly conned out of an entire row of seats by a Denver man who ate too many tacos.
