Sorry to hear it, brother. It will come back, on its own or after you buy current bargains, if you choose. This is positive, and a lot of folks could probably benefit from your advice. If you can remain objective (no political comments), consider posting something in the Tax & Finances forum (if immigration-related) or in Off Topic. Political comments are welcome in the current forum, of course.

Let's be careful to allow others their opinions, too... TOS, and all that.

As is "Opportunity..."

No one has reported bad news since our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke, which means that it was effective! Here now is our equally effective (and hilarious) Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY Stop hating on lazy people! We didn't even do anything. I've discovered that you can turn a regular sofa into a sleeper simply by forgetting your wife's birthday. Sign on train track: Due to the current workload, the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off. A chrysanthemum by any other name would be easier to spell. Attention! (Oh, sorry... never mind.) Caution: Ice on pavement. Walk like a penguin. God loves you more than you love tacos. Opportunity knocks but once, whereas temptation bangs on the door for years. Please don't tease the flytraps! How would YOU like it if someone stuck their finger down YOUR throat? If you do not KNOW where this trail goes, do not try to find out. Evacuation Plan: RUN! In Case Of Fire: Please leave the building before posting it on social media.

Oh, heavens, but this is priceless! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump Administration Sends Brutally Honest Response Saying Judge Can't Undo a Perfectly Good Deportation The Justice Department filed an application for an emergency stay of an order requiring an adjudicated MS-13 member be brought back the United States that stopped within inches of calling the district court judge who issued the order a moron. In a tersely worded brief that demolished the entire proceeding, the Justice Department's brief ridiculed the order by Obama-appointed Judge Paula Xinis to "facilitate and effectuate" Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return to the US by Monday night, saying: [...] https://redstate.com/streiff/2025/04/05/trumps-justice-department-sends-brutally-honest-saying-judge-cant-undo-a-perfectly-good-deportation-n2187538

This is eye-opening and excellent reading from a long-time journalist eyewitness. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Border Crisis Is Over JUAREZ, Mexico – On New Year's Eve 2020, as President-elect Joe Biden was at home in Delaware celebrating his imminent move into the White House, a mob of some 300 Cubans stormed out of Juárez, Mexico, in a mad banzai charge over one of the international bridges toward El Paso, Texas. They swept past Mexican border guards, leapt pell-mell the wrong way over Mexican pay turnstiles, and sprinted for America in a crisscrossing stampede through traffic over the bridge lanes. But alas, the outgoing Donald Trump was still in office, and his U.S. Customs and Border Protection Mobile Field Force, already riot-ready and waiting behind heavy concrete blocks tipped by concertina wire, stopped the migrant charge cold. Bunched up behind the barricades, the foiled mob loosed a telling chant: "Bi-den! Bi-den! Bi-den! Bi-den! Bi-den!" "They should let us pass. We are calling out to Mexico and the U.S. and to Biden, the new U.S. president, to remind him of the presidential campaign promises he made, to make him aware we are here," said one of them, Raul Pino Gonzalez of Havana, to a Cuban news reporter. "There is an expectation. There is hope and there is enthusiasm in those who believe that, with the change of administration, will come new measures and that they will immediately enter and there will be new conditions that will allow them to request asylum," Enrique Valenzuela, head of the Chihuahua State Council for Population and Migration, told a Mexican newspaper that night. They were right in their interpretation of Biden's campaign promises, if a tad early. An estimated 10-12 million foreign nationals would more successfully answer the call starting on Biden's inauguration day a few weeks later, in record-smashing populations of between 200,000 and 350,000, ushered straight into America every month for the next four years. And all of that is now at an end. [...] https://americanmind.org/salvo/the-border-crisis-is-over/

Your practice, and this thread, have gone to the dogs. Seriously, what a cutie.

These "journalists" typically muck up stories because of their lack of immigration knowledge, oversensationalize the situations, or both. Their editors are probably much the same.

Will New Tariffs Increase the Cost of Exercising Your 2A Rights? With the Trump administration imposing new tariffs on almost every U.S. trading partner, the cost of imported goods is going to increase. By how much depends on what country is doing the importing, but the effects will almost certainly be felt by the firearms industry... and ultimately, its customers. Even those companies that make firearms and ammunition here in the United States will be impacted if they import raw materials from overseas, and as The Reload's Stephen Gutowski notes at The Reload, companies like Glock (based in Austria), Taurus (based in Brazil), and Canik (based in Turkey) could see tariffs between 10 and 20 percent imposed on firearms imported into the United States.
