Attacking the Green Cards

Fewer intelligent people around has the beneficial (for them) side effect of raising their percentile ranking. So first they'll make it very difficult to get green cards. Then they'll make it very difficult for existing green cards to rene…

Attacking the Green Cards

The "I always believed..." was not the beginning of the post as I wrote it. I either deleted it somehow or the site lost it. Oh well. The people who claim people here legally have nothing to worry about have obviously are people who have n…

Attacking the Green Cards

It has come to my attention that only the 2nd half of my first post actually showed up. The 2nd and 3rd posts are a CATO Institute article about the new decree.

Attacking the Green Cards

Part 2 Who is affected by ending the adjustment of status? The memo doesn’t explicitly cover asylees and Cuban Adjustment Act cases because it only discusses adjustment of status under one particular section of the law, but it notes that o…

Attacking the Green Cards

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Friday that it will cease granting green card applications except in extraordinary circumstances. In short, DHS grants green cards when a qualified immigrant who is inside the United Stat…

Attacking the Green Cards

I always believed I would take citizenship one day. But I wasn't in a hurry to do so until last year. My Green Card was going to expire in August 2027. This would have been my second 10 year renewal. Before - including when Trump was presi…

Please stop being media illiterate

A good general rule is that the more emotionally triggered you are by a headline, the greater the chances are you are being misled and you should verify before potentially repeating it or trusting it. Bullshit stories are designed to elici…

Yes it is the umpteenth redo of The Most Dangerous Game. But an interesting take on it. I like many had to read The Most Dangerous Game in high school. The only things I specifically remember are "I recommend moccasins. They leave the poor…

The Ukrainian Invasion

He isn't withdrawing any troops. The planned deployment has been halted. But no matter. Russia is no longer in a position to threaten NATO outside of nuclear weapons and sabotage operations. This means something to NATO allies, but won't b…

The Ukrainian Invasion

Hundreds of drone strikes across Moscow and Belgorod overnight. Most intercepted, but enough not intercepted to cause a lot of noise and potentially shake the idea out of Muscovites' heads that they are immune to consequences of the war. R…

Trump Quote of the Day

Nobody is making deals with Trump anymore for much the same reason they don't with Putin. It's really simple - Trump does not feel bound by the agreements he makes. There is no value bargaining with someone who will just wash their hands o…

What not to do gents

Btw Miss Molly - sorry to put a spotlight on you here. I'm not sure why I brought that up in the first place. I like and respect you plenty, and didn't intend to make you feel queasy at all, if that did happen to any extent.

What not to do gents

I consider myself to be a comparatively simple person. I think it's pretty easy to figure out what makes me tick. I rarely surprise people because I'm pretty open - probably too open - and straight-forward. I should stress that I said that…

We saw Apex tonight. Really enjoyed it. Taron Edegar does a magnificent job of playing a psycho. Not exactly a movie that would encourage single women to want to vacation in Australia though.

What's for Dinner

I don't make biscuits very often, but when I do I make my own unsalted butter and buttermilk. Buttermilk from the store is loaded with thickening agents because for some reason people think it should be thick. Actual buttermilk is transluc…

Not that recent, but "The Dead Don't Die". What a fucking weird and funny movie. The wife and I really liked it.

Political Quote of the Day

Well, besides the fact that it's not like someone is going to see a price drop from $4.50 to $4.32 and suddenly feel like gas is cheap again. That won't stop Trump from posting a meme about how the price of gas is down 14%* since he "took…

Political Quote of the Day

Any money saved on a gas tax would have to be pulled from somewhere else - or just added to the deficit. We don't drive as much as we used to since we work from home. Our two cars consume on average perhaps 40 gallons a month. So I'd save…
