But you personally wish to decide what we are forced to pay for. I have no problem helping people who need help through private charities. Forcing people to give money is not charity, it's theft.

You mean taxpayers. The government has no money.

Donate? Why not commit yourself to fully financially supporting an asylum seeker just as you would sponsoring someone for a K1 or the like? Anyone who wishes to take on that responsibility themselves is fine by me, but just dropping a small token donation and expecting the American taxpayer to cover the bulk is ridiculous, especially with the cost of living as it is.

There is a certain level of popularity these days that it makes no sense to work for someone else. Megan Kelly, O'Reilly, Glenn Beck and others have successfully gone on to do their own thing and they make all of the money and have none of the restrictions of a corporation or a boss on them. I would argue that Tucker is starting at a higher point in his career than those others. But obviously before he does his own thing he and FOX are going to have to come to some sort of financial settlement, which I can only assume will be quite large.

Yeah, somebody call Moses and have him go straighten Egypt out again.

Elon Musk, like Cleopatra was born and raised on the continent of Africa....so....is he black?

Yes, equal scrutiny no matter which direction it goes.

Or it means she will be financially compensated to quietly go away. Paying her to go away and hoping their customer base thinks she was terminated is the best they can hope for.

Advertising tells me that corporate wokeness and trans/gay and "everyone is a racist" ideology fueled by ESG are skipping hand in hand down the yellow brick road, they are inextricably tied together. But I will comply with your request. 😁

Fresh story today. Any thoughts? houghts?

I will say this. The left, democrats, progressives, whatever label they want to attach themselves to aren't afraid of anyone on the opposite side of the political spectrum. They are FAR more fearful of people on their own side because if you stray off the narrative on any subject you will be cancelled, eaten by your own. That is why you never see anyone on that side call out the perversion you see at some of these drag queen events involving men doing burlesque performances in front of small children. In this world of tribal politics there is no room for diversity of thought in their tribe, you are all in or you are cancelled, and that cancellation is more unthinkable to them than anything that will happen to Budweiser.

I saw a video of a drag queen story hour last year. There was a fat man in a wig and full makeup wearing pantyhose in the video. He lay face up on the floor and had several 4-5 year old children straddle his torso while he said "wiggle wiggle wiggle". This wasn't harmless entertainment for children, this was parents handing over their children to a pervert and thinking to themselves how open minded and progressive they are.

He is essentially wearing blackface. Acting like a cartoon character of a pre-teen girl and dressing up like Audrey Hepburn is nothing more than cosplay. Hair, makeup, dresses and acting silly aren't things that make a woman a woman (or a girl as he likes to pretend). Also, who said anything about gay people? What does this have to do with gay people?

It has nothing to do with someone different eating or drinking the same thing as you do. It has everything to do with someone making a mockery of women and being rewarded for it. Actually, the person never calls himself a woman, he says he is on his journey into "girlhood", which quite frankly is a little creepy. Personally, I have never seen or met a female of ANY age who acts like this man does outside of someone doing a skit about an outrageously silly pre-teen female that nobody has ever seen the likes of. He is doing an Al Jolson style blackface routine.

We got our NOA2 for our K1 and after that it was 96 days of silence from NVC until they sent us a notice that our case had been forwarded to the embassy. Be patient. Once the embassy received our petition things moved quite rapidly.

This will morph into different rates based on race.

My fiance had her interview a few weeks ago with a 6:30AM appointment, she got there about a half hour early and that was plenty. Just make sure she doesn't take her cell phone because it won't be allowed inside.

Don't forget the CFO requirement, it is causing about a 2 month delay in my fiance getting here. Some will tell you you need the visa in hand before your CFO appointment but that is not true. Do the CFO appointment, when you get your visa in hand you can take it down and show it to them and they will give you the certificate of completion. My fiance got her visa in hand on 3/23/23 but the earliest available CFO appointment was 2 months later on 5/22. She would be here by now if it wasn't for the delay.

It took 96 days from NOA2 to the NVC sending us an email saying it was transferred to the embassy in Manila, we heard nothing else the entire time at NVC. Once it got to the embassy things moved rapidly.

So what you seem to want is to file a K1, have her go ahead and come to the US, get married to her so you can live together. Then while you are ALREADY married and she is in the US you want to wait out the time until your K1 is approved. What is the point of the process if you are just trying to circumvent the process? I do not think this works the way you seem to want it to work.

Just keep collecting evidence while you wait for the NOA2. Save every receipt for any money remittances, screenshots of chat messages (the embassy staff actually looked at that), call logs etc., just save everything that proves ongoing communication. Have her get a file folder and start organizing documents so that when the time comes she will have everything available and easy to find for the medical, interview and CFO appointments. You have plenty of time, have her start collecting immunization records, she will need those if they are available otherwise she will be given those shots again at her medical. We met in person twice pre-pandemic and not since. They did ask why we haven't met since and she said "because of covid travel restrictions" and they accepted that answer at her interview.

We had 2 in person meetings 2 weeks each time. Covid hit immediately after our second in person meeting and after a long time (18 months) waiting for travel to open back up we decided to file the K1. You seem to have more time together that we had with a similar age difference and she got her visa last month with no problems or extra scrutiny.

Okay this isn't like test driving a car for 18 months before deciding to buy. You need to prove the validity of the relationship beforehand. You are 100% allowed to live together, but that's going to have be done in their country or a third country.

My grandfather who was the nicest guy you could ever meet had a small farm in Alabama a long time ago. He mostly grew corn, watermelon, green beans and some greens but he did raise a few animals. He would raise about 8 to 10 pigs and he built a smokehouse out back, but when it came time to take them to the slaughterhouse he could not bring himself to do it. He had the bad habit of naming each and every animal on his farm, which led him get attached to them more like pets. His solution was that when it came time to take them to the slaughterhouse, he would trade his pigs to the farmer down the road and that farmer would give him the meat from their pigs in return. Even after a lifetime of farming he never got used to the idea of eating the animals he raised.

She started out alive, now she is dead, so your assessment holds true.
