British Ask If Trump Can Please Do That Same Thing With Keir Starmer [...] According to numerous on-the-street interviews, Brits across the United Kingdom have all come together in the last 36 hours to ask if there's any possible way that Trump could just once more do that thing where he sends in Delta Force commandos to arrest a tyrant. "What I wouldn't give to see Trump post a pic of that blighter Starmer safely held aboard the USS Iwo Jima," sighed Edward Smith, a local British man.

The poster addressed just above hasn't logged on to VJ for >3 years and isn't following the thread, so a reply is highly unlikely. Old thread is now closed to further comment.

Ah. What were the reasons given for denial? Under which specific provisions of the immigration code were you denied? Attach any verbatim correspondence that you can show us, blacking out all identifying information.

Three outcomes for Maduro: 1. Rot in a U.S. prison (good). 2. Face justice in Venezuela (better). 3. Be appointed head of the Democrat National Committee (perfect casting!).

The icing on the cake would be if Pres. Trump distributes to the involved military personnel the $25 million reward for capturing Maduro.

I find these observations quite interesting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ten Reasons To Cheer the Arrest of Maduro The weekend arrest of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro marks a rare moment when American power was used decisively, strategically, and unapologetically in defense of U.S. interests and human freedom – and there are at least 10 reasons to cheer it.

Here's a partial apology, but read about the flaws. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Is Legacy Media Finally Ready to Admit Its Honesty Problem? Does legacy television news have a future? For a variety of reasons, it seems unlikely. Most of those reasons boil down to this: Americans just don't trust the establishment media. But if veteran newsman Tony Dokoupil's recent monologue on this subject is any indication, the industry still isn't prepared to acknowledge that it has sacrificed public trust for the sake of advancing liberal partisan narratives. Let's give him one-and-a-half cheers, however. Dokoupil is at least willing to say out loud that very few people trust his network, CBS News, or the rest of the legacy media. Dokoupil is set to start as a new anchor for CBS on Monday. In his admission of guilt, Dokoupil confessed [...] https://amac.us/newsline/politics/is-legacy-media-finally-ready-to-admit-its-honesty-problem/

He NEEDS to. Also that lardbucket in Illinois.

True. Too much glass?! I'm shattered, verily, just shattered!

Scintillating Monday repartee, yawn man. ----- Thrilling Monday report, see man: After awful zzz, rousted our carcass to be on time for siding/windows crew, self-roust we man. We first noticed that a pallet of siding had been dumped on the wrong half of our driveway, uh-oh man. Our sales rep promptly called the co. to send driver back, responsive he man. The crew duly appeared, half a Manyzen Mexicans (but from different states) man. The foreman determined that the materials were not HardiPlank, see and no man. Furthermore, truck with our windows had broken down, unavailable till afternoon man. Foreman caucused with rep, caucus they man. They determined that they should start Tuesday, get all ducks in a row man. This was fine with us, not their fault man. Rep soon showed up, apologetic he man. He explained that this siding co. had been lobbying for his business for a full year, finally gave in man. We said that this wasn't his fault and we weren't off-urinated, no and no man. We agreed that he should insist on a handsome supplier discount to satisfy infuriated customer, $i man. He will presumably do this, financially $avvy he man and F$WM man. Breakfast/lunch was 2 ham-&-cheese sandwiches, ingest we man. We then retired for siesta #1, zzz pretty well we man. Visited Mama T-B. for nearly 2 hours, forlorn weak helpless senior she man man. We self-efforted not to make her yell, successful we man. We then retrieved an Rx for Uncle T-B. and visited him, senior he man man. Expectant miu then mobbed us upon our exhausted casa-ward return, Feed/Treat/Brush Us Daddy miu man. Din-din was a smorgasbord of random leftover lunch items from Mama T-B. & Uncle T-B., ingest all we man. These included half a tuna sandwich, a chicken tender, a BBQ burger, 2 chicken patties, some fried rice, and 1/Many'th (or less) of a hot dog, ingest we man. Waste not, want not, conclude financially $avvy we man man. Siesta #2 was then taken, kick displeased miu off our bed before zzz we man. We are trying to research how to renew a Texas State ID for an incapacitated casa-bound individual, si man. Unbelievably, there's seemingly no advertised or straightforward way to do this, no man. No one has recently asked us about Estranged Aunt T-B.'s estate, ain't going near that thing we man man. We already received a delinquent bill for $Many,000 from her noosering-casa, send it back we man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Siding/windows (presumably) and more Mama T-B. stuff, oh joy but necessary man. And that was/is our thrilling Monday, report we man.

Interesting. Double-check the legality and its ramifications at the same time, perhaps. And (honest question) how would they know whether she's renounced or not? Again, U.S. Citizen Services at the Embassy in India might be of help, if the consulate can't/doesn't. Do report back.

Do what I've been recommending for years -- turn their sand into glass, then go in and Take Our Oil.

Unless there's an, uh, ironclad guarantee of beach volleyball, .

Wonderful! And thank you for returning with the happy update.

If the issue is technically moot, is there some reason to see it through regardless? My only suggestion is to contact for advice either a consulate of India here in the U.S., or the U.S. embassy in India (U.S. Citizen Services). If you try, let us know the outcome.

That Ayatollah needs to have his worthless carcass dragged through the streets. All of his co-conspirators, too.

THE TALKING FROG A young man was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I'll be your loving companion for an entire week." The man took the frog from his pocket, smiled at it, and replaced it. The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for a year and grant you any wish!" Again the man took the frog out, smiled at it, and put it back in his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, "What's the matter? I've told you that I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a year, and that I'll grant you any wish. Why won't you kiss me?" The man said, "Look, I'm a busy guy right now. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool!"

Well, if Maduro is returned to V. to face the music, he'll be pulverized into unrecognizable subatomic particles by his vengeful peons.

Welcome to the forum! The unanswered question (other than "make my case as strong as possible") is why. What would be proved? You're right that DNA testing is chiefly for parent-child cases; I've not seen it mentioned on VJ for any other purpose. In addition, it's the consulates that typically request DNA tests -- through their approved labs -- in parent-child cases. Again, the question is why you'd seek to do this. There are far more, and far more straightforward, ways to prove a bona fide relationship, if that's your concern. What would you expect to show or prove that couldn't be shown or proven otherwise?

A remarkably objective and detailed piece from the NY Times. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inside 'Operation Absolute Resolve,' the U.S. Effort to Capture Maduro President Trump said that he and key members of his administration watched in real time from Mar-a-Lago, his Florida club, the Delta Force raid that captured Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan president, on Saturday. In a news conference with key administration officials, and during a lengthy telephone interview Saturday morning on "Fox & Friends," Mr. Trump offered details of the monthslong planning that went into the operation, including the construction of a model of Mr. Maduro's safe house, where special operations forces could practice the raid.
