  • Are There Published Summaries (Proven or Strongly Alleged) of Charges Applicable to Ilhan Omar?

    Certainly by now there must be one or more summaries published, applicable to Rep. Ilhan Omar, of allegations that could lead to Omar's de-naturalization with regard to citizenship. We are looking for such summaries. We believe the allegation that Ilhan Omar and a blood brother of hers did apply for a marriage license and did follow through with a filing of a certificate of marriage, and that they did so to commit immigration fraud, allowing Ilhan a residence status in the United States. So, marrying her own brother for the purpose of committing immigration fraud would be one item in...

Yesterday, a post was put up on FR and I wanted to see more than just the provided excerpt, so I clicked on the source link.Ever since I did that, every tab that gets opened on my iPad (Safari browser) to an FR forum or page/post, the new tab has the number 2 in white with a blue background preceding the FR forum name or article title.The number font and coloring is identical to the news station’s (2 Idaho News) logo that was used as the source link.Here...

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bill of Rights lists VERY FEW RIGHTS,and creates the impression that those are ALL OF THE RIGHTS. Before the Bill of Rights, (which came THREE AND ONE HALF YEARS AFTER THE CONSTITUTION) we had one billion rights, INCLUDING ALL OF THE RIGHTS LISTED IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS, and the federal government had a few powers. AFTER the Bill of Rights, the federal government has one billon powers, and we have a few rights. Almost every human being on planet Earth reads the BOR this way: The Department of Education is Constitutional because the BOR does not...

    A Gold Medal Speech Jeremiah 29:11-13 (King James Version) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Unlike the last five Presidents who gave a State of the Union address President Trump spoke his mind and gave a clear picture of what he has...
  • In regards to Trump's allowance for Trump accounts.

    I think the idea of Trump accounts, to allow tax free savings for specific self-funded social benefits that aren't taxed, is the way to go. It always has been. Keep them reasonable, so the billionaire class can't sock away billions of dollars of untaxable income but allow it high enough so that it can provide for the average person so that he self-supports himself and isn't supported by the taxpayer. As long as the account is used for the specific purpose intended, any drawings from it remain tax free. However, if it is drawn for other purposes, it becomes taxed...

    Mike Huckabee's analogies regarding land rights and defense, specifically his suggestion that if a people like the Irish can defend their land, they can keep it—have been viewed as a significant rhetorical own goal that complicates the very pro-Israel stance he intended to defend. Critics and media analysts have highlighted several major ramifications of this logic and analysts have noted the internal contradiction in Huckabee's argument. By shifting the justification from a divine mandate (the Promised Land) to a right of conquest/defense media commentators pointed out that the Irish analogy is particularly fraught. If land ownership is determined solely by...

    The staff at Advent Cardiovascular ER tried everything in their power to save her but she was too unstable after four rounds of CPR. The ER physician was untiring in his and his team's efforts to keep her alive but there was too much going wrong all at once. To revive her at that point would have condemned her to life with severely compromised brain function. We were together 42 years. I placed an obituary for her on Legacy.com but family members and friends are dispersed over many areas of the country and I don't think they are seeing it....

  • This is crazy, but if California's governor election were today, both qualifiers would be Republican.

    Don't get me wrong: No way the Democrats would let this happen. They'd simply make sure sufficient competitors dropped out of the race. But I think it's still worth noting that the top two gubernatorial candidates are Republicans. That would mean (emphasis on "would") mean that no Democrats qualified for the final. According to RealClearPolitics' polling average, Republicans Hilton and Bianco both 15.5 % of the vote, beating out Democrats Swalwell (12.5%), Porter (10.5%), Steyer (8.5%) and Becerra (4.5%), Villaigrosa (3%), Thurmond (2%) and Yee (1.5%).

That video games will look and act so real that we wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a game and real life. We will ask is that a real footbal game we're watching or is that a sports game being played? AI has delivered on that prediction to an astonishing way. Here is an example of how far AI has come. https://youtu.be/jciMPgEI9dY Now my question is will Hollywood ever produce new films from dead actors? Will there be new Humphry Bogart movies? Will...

    WOW! On Sunday I had perhaps the BEST BBQ wings of my life. You can see them above in a big circle around my new BBQ accessory. I dry brined the wings on Saturday with a mix of kosher salt and baking powder to keep the salinity level low. I kept them on raised two wire racks in the fridge overnight. The next day I put the wings in a big bowl and added a few table spoons of olive oil. Then I thoroughly coated the wings with about a 50/50 mix of Polynesian Pineapple rub and smoked paprika. I...
  • Because corrupt judges shielded illegal aliens, the gov't can't assess the economy.

    Are jobs exploding or is the economy in free-fall? Because of radical policies forced on the Census department by the real unelected Kings of America, judges, the bureaucrats in Washington don't know. If we knew how many illegal aliens there were, we could estimate the effect of giving hundreds of billions of dollars of aid. We could tell pro-illegal states to pay for their own voluntarily assumed costs. We could even ask the courts to reassign congressional representation from illegal aliens to U.S. citizens. So the Kings simply demanded ignorance by preventing us from knowing how many illegal aliens there...

    The AI board of the "Global Efficiency Initiative" met in a room chilled to the exact temperature required to prevent server overheating. Before them sat the "Problem": three million geographically displaced persons currently idling in high-cost transit camps, consuming taxpayer-funded protein paste and occupying valuable real estate. The CEO of the world’s leading robotics firm stood, his smile as polished as his latest prototype. "Ladies and Gentlemen," he began, "why deport them when we can download them? I propose the Kinetic Harvest Initiative." Their consensus plan was elegant. Since the new Optimus Gen 6 robots required billions of hours of...
