Auto CEOs Struggling With Whether To Replace Striking Workers With Robots Or Mexicans [...] "We really could go either way on this," said Ford CEO Jim Farley while lighting up a Cuban cigar with a stack of $100 dollar bills. "On one hand, robots work perfectly and tirelessly without complaining around the clock. On the other hand, [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/auto-ceos-struggling-with-whether-to-replace-striking-workers-with-robots-or-mexicans

California Legislature Quietly Votes to Rescind Its Doctor COVID "Misinformation" Law After a Year It appears that California's horrific "Doctor Misinformation" law, AB 2098, is being removed from the annals. This was done quietly, almost in the dead of night, which is how the California Legislature often likes to do things.

KJP: No Pardon for Hunter - No Way, No How [...] On Friday, Jean-Pierre was asked again about whether President Joe Bidenwould pardon his son, Hunter, or commute his sentence, were he to be convicted of the federal gun charges filed against him in the indictment filed by Special Counsel David Weiss on Thursday. Jean-Pierre gave a categorical, unequivocal no. (Which is how you know there's more to the story.) [...] https://redstate.com/smoosieq/2023/09/15/kjp-no-pardon-for-hunter-no-way-no-how-n2163879

Biden's Jewish Again. What Will He Become Next? Who, really, is Old Joe Biden? A senescent corruptocrat pretending to be president in order to further the interests of a sinister band of shadowy globalists? Well, yeah. But besides that, he is whoever you want him to be, or whatever he thinks you want him to be, if you have a vote to give him or you can further his political or financial ambitions. On Thursday, Biden declared that he was "raised in the synagogues." Sure he was. [...] https://pjmedia.com/columns/robert-spencer/2023/09/15/bidens-jewish-again-what-will-he-become-next-n1727275

Good story, although the headline-writer composed it misleadingly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Family Ditches Minneapolis Days After Moving In After Several Shootings A family recently endured a harrowing experience after moving to an apartment in the city of Minneapolis, Minn., near which several shootings took place within a 48-hour time span. What's really shocking is that the family high-tailed it to California right after this took place, despite the fact that they had only moved into the building several days before the incidents took place.

TX AG impeachment wrap-up: Ken Paxton's lawyers are tigers [...] what I have managed to see of the ultra vigorous defense of Texas Attorney general Ken Paxton during his impeachment trial this week has just been unbelievable. His lawyers, to a one, have been whip smart, aggressive, and utterly ruthless eviscerating the "case" against the AG. I can't say "the evidence," because they've pretty well proven that there wasn't any ever to begin with, even to the point of getting the accusers to admit to the same.

Electorate's Deep Cynicism Is Greatest Cause For Optimism After decades of America's political, cultural, and media elites lying to the American electorate, the public has become deeply cynical and distrustful of institutional authority. But while this may initially seem like a depressing development, the fact that voters now understand they are being deceived has eroded the effectiveness of the lies propagated by those in power – perhaps marking the first step toward a restoration of constitutional government where the people are truly in charge.

This is really a good piece. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Democrats' Oliver Anthony Problem [...] The fact that Democrats responded with visceral dislike to a song that expressed the complicated populist views of an actual working-class person shows how unwelcoming the party has become to actual working-class people, as opposed to mythological proletarians who combine hatred of (Republican) corporations with reverence for "Bidenomics" and careful usage of all the approved intersectional language.

This is a fascinating and nicely written piece. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lampedusa, Italy, shows America the future of lawless immigration The tiny Italian island of Lampedusa should be a holiday paradise. The most southerly territory of Italy lies exactly between that country and North Africa. With a population of around 6,000, beautiful beaches, bars and restaurants, it should be the perfect island getaway. But in recent years, it has become a nightmare. And a petri dish for the problems that we are all going to go through in the 21st century. Especially America.

It sounds like everybody needs a joke now, so here is one: ========================================== THE SPECIAL DEAL A doctor can't find a job in a hospital, so he opens his own clinic and puts up a sign outside: "GET TREATMENT FOR $20 -- IF NOT CURED, GET BACK $100." An immigration lawyer thinks that this is a great opportunity to earn $100, so he goes to the clinic. Lawyer: I have lost my sense of taste. Doctor: Nurse, bring medicine from box #22 and put 3 drops in his mouth. Lawyer: Ugh -- this is kerosene! Doctor: Congratulations; your sense of taste is restored. Give me $20. The annoyed lawyer goes back after a few days to recover his money. Lawyer: I have lost my memory. I cannot remember anything. Doctor: "Nurse, bring medicine from box #22 and put 3 drops in his mouth. Lawyer (annoyed): This is kerosene. You gave this to me last time for restoring my taste. Doctor: Congratulations; you got your memory back. Give me $20. The fuming lawyer pays him and then comes back a week later, determined to get back $100. Lawyer: My eyesight has become very weak -- I can't see at all. Doctor: Well, I don't have any medicine for that, so take this $100. Lawyer (staring at the note): But this is $5, not $100! Doctor: Congratulations; your eyesight is restored. Give me $20.

It's a lot easier traveling when kids are in a carrier than it is when they're walking.

Thrilling Friday non-ES report, see man: In the morning, it monsooned, welcome wetness man. It monsooned like the mother of all illegitimate male children, wow man. Went ES-ing after sun came out, half-past Many (2x2x2 +1) a.m. man. At end, went to gigantic legacy supermarket with which we were unfamiliar, shop we man. Found everything, but had to cross the store Many times, draining man. For example, the hot dogs were in the dairy department, tell the chickens & pigs man. We were exhausted and unhappy after that, grrrr man. Then, we got caught in gridlock going casa-ward, frozen stuff thawed man. We had one other potential errand to run along the way, wouldn't have been long man. We opted to skip it, good plan man. Shortly after casa arrival, it monsooned again, good plan man. We treated/lunched indignant miu, service miu we man. Breakfast/lunch/din-din (at Many [2+1] p.m.) was one Hungry Man sliced turkey/stuffing/potatoes/mixed vegs/applesauce frozen din-din bought at aforementioned supermarket, ingest we man. A good shower and roaring nap were taken, perfect time during monsoon man. Mini-B. had a band performance at a hyskool football game this eve, go straight from skool wee man man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. was so sick that she could hardly croak, laryngitis* ex-she man. *worse than any truly fatal illness, constantly yak yak yak YAK YAK ex-she man We agreed to retrieve Mini-B. from skool after buses returned, agree we man. Time kept lengthening, Many (2x2x2 +2) p.m. man. All the other skoolkids joyously met their parents, reunion man. Conversely, Mini-B. texted us, "Where the hell are you, huh man?" sigh man. He was openly surly on the short drive to ex-Mrs.-T-B.'s casa, sigh man. We informed ex-Mrs.-T-B., who will have a long talk with Mini-B., si and sigh man. We have itineraried 3 ESs and the citywide FST GS for Saturday, rain stay away man. Miu has been more than thoroughly brushed and has been served din-din, mollified miu man.

The Babylon Bee is!

They need to be put over some knees for a good spanking. Then worse.

It's by sperm-of-the-moment.

Racists and bigots, all! It's amazing how these Sanctuaryists can't handle even a few thousand illegals.

It's gone to the Senate (the jury). If Paxton is found guilty of even one of the 16 charges, he's done. All the on-scene analysts seem convinced that the prosecution put on the better case, by far. I'm not so sure. Closing argument was factual by the prosecution, emotional by the defense. If the Senate didn't return verdicts by 8 p.m. today (I haven't heard), they meet again at 9 a.m. Saturday. If they can't decide by Saturday, they must stay in the Senate chambers overnight Sunday-to-Monday until they do. Or similar.

It's also OK to invade Ukraine as long as it's a little invasion.

Yes to this, si man. A bonus to all this is that Bidementia is being slammed by these union members for "doing nothing."

You're welcome, and that's what I (and we all) are here for. I remember one time when Mrs. T-B. (then in your status) ran into a CBP agent who asked her status. She said, "adjustment applicant." The CBP agent was briefly taken aback but then was quite satisfied with the answer. It would have been even cooler had she whipped out the supporting paper to hand the guy.

A wonderful, happy update. We need more threads like this. UK, if and when you wish for this thread to be closed (= completely up to you), go to the "..." dots at upper right of any post, drop to the first option (Report), and make your request.

The precise status is "applicant for adjustment," or, more concisely, "adjustment applicant." Years ago, I had the same question as you, so I asked a helpful immigration lawyer. During these awkward stages, it's best that the immigrant keep a copy of the most recent documentation in his/her immigration journey: -- before AOS, keep copy of the AOS cover-letter or first application page sent to USCIS -- after that, keep the NOA1 (for whichever piece of the process is acknowledged first) -- after that, green card -- after that, green card + cover-letter or first application page for ROC -- after that, NOA1 for ROC -- after that, next green card
