Interesting reactions. How about this? Rezone and apply eminent domain (the sole good use for it) so that the only remaining housing is transitory -- temporary residences for active members of Congress, and hotels. The District would be occupied solely by Federal office buildings and businesses to support the working population (restaurants, gas stations, etc.). Perhaps also return some land on the Maryland side, and reacquire a small portion on the Virginia side of the Potomac. No residents would then need representation, so problem solved. Only elected officials would reside in the District because they have, or are supposed to have, their residences in their home state. Then they would have room to demolish some of our current empty eyesores that we pay billions to maintain. In addition, officials like Brennan AND Obama would lose their residences in DC, and their meddling in government could be minimized. Only ambassadors and Federal officials should live in DC.

Whoever abuses a small child needs to be locked in a room alone with the parents.

Murder hornets?

Go along to get along.

This doctor needs to be reported and removed from his association with the U.S. government.

I spoke with someone who's been quite familiar with similar situations, and the answer is that there's no way out of this. Accordingly, voluntary self-deportation is the least "harmful" of the remaining options.

The definition of sheer insanity was to allow this at all, ever. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ State Department Halts Visas for Gaza Residents After Alarming Influx of Families Coming to U.S. The U.S. Department of State announced Saturday morning that it was stopping a visa program that allowed residents of Gaza to enter the United States for "medical-humanitarian" reasons. This comes after videos of large groups of Gazans—often decked out in "Palestinian" flags and keffiyehs associated with the terror group Hamas—arriving at airports across the nation began popping up on social media in the last few weeks. According to this State Department tweet, the program is being paused while officials review the "process and procedures" that have allowed a stream of injured children from Gaza, often accompanied by several family members, into the country. Whether or not these families have been properly vetted is anyone's guess at this point.

Man... no action since last joke? We need a good Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== BOOM! A tough old Texas rancher once told his grandson that the secret to long life was to sprinkle a little gunpowder on his oatmeal every morning. The grandson did this religiously, and he lived to be 93. When he died, he left 14 children, 28 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren, and a 15-foot hole in the wall of the crematorium.

I was going to say that asylum status for Venezuela, Haiti, and others was revoked earlier this year, and that asylees from there are leaving the U.S. Your brother should have an attorney highly experienced in asylum matters and who is familiar with these rather uncharted new waters of revised asylum policies. There's no "bright line" advice that any of us can really give you, unfortunately. --- Thread is moved from the DCF forum to the General Immigration Discussion forum.

Add the notary's certificate as is standard in your state -- something as simple as: Subscribed and acknowledged before me on ____________, 2025 at ____[place]____. ______[Notary's printed name]_______ [Notary stamp goes here] Notary Public, State of ______________

What country is your brother from?

Saturday GS/ES report, see man: We attended all, trustworthy we man. The first "ES" was 2 rooms in an otherwise off-limits casa, man.

The second ES yielded the take, see man: -- onecan Progresso soup, onecan tuna = $1, steal man Total = $1

Puts into words what some of us have probably thought but maybe couldn't articulate. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anti-Gunners Don't Get to Pick What We Consider Tyranny In a world where every Republican president is called "literally Hitler," it's not surprising that many see the actions of President Donald Trump as particularly troubling. He was never going to win their approval, after all, and he's not interested in trying. From deploying the National Guard to help deal with the Los Angeles riots earlier this year to federalizing the law enforcement efforts in the District of Columbia due to violent crime, he's not exactly making moves to mollify their fears. But some are acting like we have some obligation to do something. [...] https://bearingarms.com/tomknighton/2025/08/13/anti-gunners-dont-get-to-pick-what-we-consider-tyranny-n1229579

I think that this is plainly and elegantly stated, and useful if we're ever involved in such a debate with someone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There Are Key Differences Between Voter Registration and Gun Registration I find it rather funny how often the people who decry voter registration would gladly require you to register your guns. They want just anyone able to vote, which has a massive impact on not just today, but for decades to come, but they don't want you being able to buy a firearm. Basically, they want voting rules to be as loose as possible, while making it virtually impossible to own a gun. But let's talk a bit about voter registration versus gun registration. Why? Because Ammoland did it, and that makes it seem like a hell of a place to start, honestly.

Another lawyer takes issue with Jonathan Turley on this matter. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Professor Turley Gets the D.C. Statehood Controversy Wrong (a Deep Dive) Regular readers know that this author likes and admires Professor Jonathan Turley. The fact we are constantly highlighting his commentaryis proof on that point. But no person is perfect and we think he is getting it wrong in his latest column for The Hill: [...] We aren't even saying every point he is making is bad. Indeed, there is a lot in the column that doesn't have anything directly to do with the question of D.C. statehood that 1) is excellent, and 2) we aren't going to be talking about here.

Associated Press Reports That Dogs Eat Meat, Which Contributes to Climate Change We know from watching CNN and the rest of the mainstream media that everything causes climate change. We're supposed to stop eating meat because cow flatulence causes climate change. Are we just supposed to kill off all the cows and start eating bugs? Do you know who else eats meat? Your dog. Yes, your dog is contributing to climate change with its diet. Are we supposed to get rid of dogs, too, or turn them all into vegetarians?

Many of us knew this right after the poison was rolled out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Legacy Media Won't Touch These Explosive mRNA Vaccine Study Findings Earlier this month, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. canceled nearly $500 million worth of grants and contracts tied to mRNA vaccine development, and announced the creation of a vaccine safety task force—an effort to address decades of alleged violations of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act. The legacy media immediately went on the offensive, slamming the move. But now, stronger evidence has emerged showing that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines actually raise the risk of respiratory infections with each additional dose, leaving the defenders of these shots looking obstinate and unwilling to face reality. Real-world data out of Switzerland has vindicated what many of us have been warning all along: the risk-benefit equation for mRNA shots no longer makes sense for most healthy people. Just the News breaks down the new Swiss study, and its conclusions aren't merely inconvenient—they're downright explosive.
