This is interesting. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chinese-Owned Bio Lab Update: Million-Dollar Mice, Fake Bankruptcy, Recalled COVID-19 Tests, PPP Loans, and Tax Credits RedState was one of the first outlets to bring the news of an illegal bio lab, owned by Chinese nationals, operating in the small town of Reedley in California's Central Valley.

Megan Rapinoe laughs as she eliminates U.S. women's soccer team from World Cup competition [...] The problem for the U.S. women's team is that Rapinoe made everything all about herself and they allowed her to do it. She was outspoken about equal pay for women in soccer. That denied the reality that women's soccer is not as popular as men's soccer and, therefore, doesn't make as much money. Most Americans do not watch soccer. I don't. [...] https://hotair.com/karen-townsend/2023/08/06/megan-rapinoe-laughs-as-she-eliminates-u-s-womens-soccer-team-from-world-cup-competition-n569526

The Indictment of Donald Trump Is The Real Threat To Democracy [...] Having previously colluded with social media companies to censor disfavored opinions about the 2020 election, our ruling class, led by the Justice Department, now wants to criminalize such Wrongthink and deter those who would defend the Wrongthinkers. Special Counsel Smith does so by reading President Trump's mind, claiming that despite what he has always maintained, Trump didn't really believe the election was stolen from him; that his election challenges were therefore fraudulent; and that thus he must be charged under whatever statutes can be twisted to fit the thought crimes.

Cities are sinking under the weight of their own stupidity Once upon a time, cities were bursting with vitality. For out-of-towners, they were meccas of shopping and entertainment. They were nerve centers of business. Today, they're places to become a crime statistic, view vermin-infested encampments, and silently mourn the demise of what was once something great.

If this is the variable holding up the availability of the divorce certificate, it would seem to influence the timing of the I-751 divorce-waiver conversion.
