Believe me -- in Iowa, they're desperate to hire anyone of color, because there are so few choices. Small wonder that corners were (way) cut.

We're talking true zzz, not drunken stupor, zzz and no man.

I read the same thing separately. The Skool Bored really dropped the ball by not investigating and confirming his immigration status. They were probably ecstatic to find an actual black person in Iowa.

This Hegseth caucus could be very fun.

These illegitimate male children need to be made to pay.

What, she's even misspelling her own initials now?

Panic Seizes Pentagon As Hegseth Calls No-Notice, No-Agenda Meeting of All Generals in Command Billets Something's up! Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has ordered all top U.S. military commanders, worldwide, to convene at Quantico Marine Corps Base next week for a no-notice meeting with no published agenda. To call this unprecedented might be an understatement. The order covers about 800 general officers and admirals, and each of the attendees is directed to bring their senior enlisted adviser with them: "All general officers in command in grade O-7 through O-10 and their general officer senior enlisted advisers are directed to attend within operational constraints." If the meeting is unprecedented, then so, too, is the bellyaching.

This is a very good column, with receipts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The FAFO Consequences of Trump Derangement Syndrome: Lawfare, Cancel Culture, and Murder [...] Sometimes, the truth is painful. Unforgiving. Cruel and uncaring. But until you recognize the truth for what it is — and not what you wished it would be — reality will continue to smack you upside the head. In the words of (Republican) President James Garfield, who was also a victim of left-wing political violence: "The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable." And today, the Democrats are miserable. It's the one common denominator between all the warring factions on the left. A small sample of headlines over the last two months: [...] https://pjmedia.com/scott-pinsker/2025/09/25/the-fafo-consequences-of-trump-derangement-syndrome-lawfare-cancel-culture-and-murder-n4944106

This author quotes Pres. Trump verbatim -- worth reading. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump's epic UN address How to describe President Donald Trump's speech to the United Nations on Tuesday? Epic, extraordinary, unprecedented — whatever term you prefer, Trump's address was a sledgehammer of a message delivered to allies and adversaries around the world. The most striking passages were directed at allies, particularly those in Europe, and they focused on two enormously consequential and controversial issues that Trump called a "double-tailed monster": migration and energy.

It's actually so 2021 and 2019 of us, to be precise. Plus we know you ilitrit. Lol

If Hegseth reports to the Commander-in-Chief, then the brass and grunts report to Hegseth. Sure hope that there's no terror attack on all of them when they convene -- perish the thought. On the brighter side: --- THE TWO LIONS Two lions escaped from the National Zoo in Washington, DC. Under close pursuit, they hastily agreed to meet in one month, and they escaped in different directions. In a month, the lions met as agreed. "I've been having a terrible time finding food," said one lion. "How have you been making out?" "I found a wonderful hiding place in the Pentagon," said the other lion. "I eat one general per week. It'll be years before they notice that anyone's missing!"

The world is ending, si and EEEEEEE man! 😱

Rhodo status helps your aim.

If this is a factor, it should be easy for them to decide about. It is. If they didn't ask much, maybe they were satisfied. This sounds promising. If I were you, I'd wait for a week or two (this will be hard, we all know), then e-mail the consulate (with your A number in the Subject line) to ask the status. In the meantime, try to relax and distract yourself.

You had a Stokes interview. It's good that most of your answers matched. Among themselves, they'll certainly discuss how you answered and how plausible everything sounded. They'll also research and confirm where you worked, and relevant details. Are you in scientific or engineering work? Some of those careers cause extra security concerns.

It is if you haven't been to Walmart yet, si man. It isn't if you've forgotten your P-Math skills, no man.

USCIS will figure it out.
