OP, we're all human beings with human failings. Everyone also has the power of forgiveness within them. Have faith in every aspect of what you're now facing.

DCA is unsafe and should be closed, but our dear Senators and Congressmen want it kept open for their convenience.

He'd have promptly gotten one.

Elizabeth Warren Asks RFK Jr. How He Will Address Outbreak Of Smallpox From White Man's Blankets WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a heated exchange during Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s confirmation hearing before the Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Elizabeth Warren asked RFK Jr. how he would address the outbreak of smallpox from the white man's blankets. Kennedy faced intense questioning from multiple members of the committee ranging from his views on abortion and vaccines to disease research and baby onesies, with Warren's savage question taking center stage in the contentious hearing. "And what of smallpox outbreak from paleface blankets?" a proud and stoic Warren asked. "We make'em trade. Buffalo hide for blankets.

Trump Announces Plan To Make California A Part Of The U.S. WASHINGTON, D.C. — Adding to a list of bold initiatives that had included speculative goals to annex Greenland and absorb Canada as a new state, President Donald Trump announced a new plan to make California a part of the United States. According to inside sources, the plan came about due to Trump's dream to provide the oppressed people of California with the same freedoms and liberties experienced by citizens of the United States. "It's time to once again spread democracy outside our borders," Trump said in a brief statement to the media.

Single Men Begin Dressing As Illegal Immigrants Hoping Kristi Noem Will Detain Them NEW YORK, NY — ICE operations to round up and deport undocumented immigrants hit an unexpected snag yesterday, as agents discovered that single men had begun dressing as illegal aliens in hopes that Kristi Noem would detain them. Immigration agents confirmed that they had mistakenly apprehended multiple single American men who had cleverly disguised themselves as foreign nationals with the goal of having the new Secretary of Homeland Security take custody of them. "Ay, mami! Come arrest me! I'm totally here illegally!" one man was heard shouting in the street where Noem was leading the raid.

And Guantanamo is outside the jurisdiction of leftist Federal judges, right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Is War, After All: Trump Prepares to Send 30,000 Criminal Illegals to Gitmo Barack Obama wanted to close down the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, and Old Joe Biden freed numerous jihad terrorists in an effort to empty it altogether, but now Donald Trump has found a new use for Gitmo: He has directed that it be prepared to house criminal illegal migrants. This is a superb idea for several reasons. [...] https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2025/01/29/this-is-war-after-all-trump-prepares-to-send-30000-criminal-illegals-to-gitmo-n4936493

At LONGEST last. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joe Biden Failed Jewish Students, Donald Trump Is Stepping Up [...] The new executive order outlines specific directives for federal agencies to report on and propose additional measures to combat campus anti-Semitism. Within 60 days, department heads are required to submit comprehensive reports on existing civil and criminal authorities that can be leveraged to fight back against these rising tides of hate. The order doesn't pull any punches; it declares, "It shall be the policy of the United States to combat anti-Semitism vigorously, using all available and appropriate legal tools." This robust approach signifies that the federal government will not shy away from prosecuting those who engage in anti-Semitic harassment and violence. Sadly, we got such a lackluster response to the growing normalization of hate during the Biden years, but this order signals a shift—a commitment to accountability. Further measures include [...] https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/01/29/joe-biden-failed-jewish-students-donald-trump-is-stepping-up-n4936497

Talk loudly and swing a yuge stick: Trump does Teddy Roosevelt one better Judging from the first week or so, the Trump doctrine is going to be: We can do it the easy way, or the hard way. Those are the words the president used in a post on Truth Social last week threatening tariffs on Russia if it didn't cut a peace deal with Ukraine. Trump is a president who understands, and has no hesitation in using, the leverage the United States has abroad as the world's pre-eminent economic and military power, and the leverage he has at home as a newly elected president with a mandate and the strong backing of a fervent political movement. He's going to talk loudly and swing whatever stick he has at hand. His brief diplomatic tussle with the president of Colombia was instructive.

Or re-burdened by what had been gotten rid of.

Given the difficulties in firing government workers, I guess it's to make the deal more attractive to more takers.

Let him rot there.

It is Wednesday! To give a laugh and to prompt approvals (that is, if correlation = causation), here is our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THE RUDE CUSTOMER A man went into a restaurant and was seated. All of the waitresses were gorgeous. A particularly beautiful waitress came to his table. "What would you like, sir?" she asked. The man looked at the menu, looked at her, then answered, "A quickie." The waitress turned and walked away in disgust. After she regained her composure, she returned and asked again, "What would you like, sir?" Again the man looked at her and answered, "A quickie, please." This time, the waitress' anger took over -- she slapped him across the face with a resounding SMACK and stormed away. A man sitting at the next table leaned over and whispered, "Uh, I think it's pronounced 'quiche.'"

This thread is old, and the OP hasn't logged on to VJ since October, so a reply is unlikely. Consider sending the OP a private message or starting a fresh thread in this forum.

White House Reporters Mystified By Press Secretary Who Answers Questions [...] "What… what is this madness?" asked Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy. "I should go get myself checked out by a doctor. I must be hallucinating. I had some type of waking dream today where I was in the White House briefing room, and there was this blonde woman there. And… and I asked her a question… and she just… answered. She just answered the question. There's no way it was real, right? That doesn't happen, does it?"

Trump Reminds Colombian President He Wants Two Coats Of Wax On His Limousine WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following a brief dust-up and threats of a trade war over the weekend stemming from the U.S.'s new policy of rounding up and returning illegal aliens to their countries of origin, Donald Trump was overheard reminding Colombian President Gustavo Petro that he wanted two coats of wax on his limousine. President Petro had reportedly offered to fly in early Monday morning and wash Trump's presidential limousine in an effort to smooth things over after initially standing in defiance of Trump's goal of repatriating Colombian nationals who had entered the U.S. illegally. "Just remember, Gustavo, that's two coats of wax on the limo, okay?" Trump was heard shouting outside.

Thanks To Trump Ending DEI, The Babylon Bee Is Finally Able To Fire Its Only Female Writer U.S. — The Babylon Bee would like to publicly thank President Donald Trump for making good on his promise to get rid of all those DEI rules, allowing us to take immediate action and fire our only female writer. We were sick of her not being funny but needed a good reason to get rid of her without having all those DEI employment people breathing down our necks. The office is going to go back to what it was intended to be in the first place: a gentleman's club full of fine cigars, strong beer, darts, a billiards table, and maybe we'll even get one of those armchairs that recline fully and has drink holders on both sides.
