  1. Getting the visa is the tough part where all the questions will be asked. I doubt there will be any issues at the border. I would make sure she has an exit flight within the limits of her stay, which I think is 6 months. Or she could always fly into Tijuana, walk across with the crowds and turn herself into the Border Patrol claiming asylum. They'll give her a court date in a few years, a smartphone, and a flight to the Dem city of her choosing. Choose her destination wisely and she'll get free accommodations and a monthly stipend. I think they're also issuing permission to work in the USA, but not if they enter legally. Edit: FWIW, the agency we hired to help get my Thai friend a visa to come visit me in Texas suggested she leave my name completely out of the process. Said it would not benefit her, and may harm her chances. She did, and she had no problems. She spent a week with me before heading off to parts unknown in Lost Wages and California to visit family. She returned to Thailand well within her 6 month window and about a year later I got a series of LINEs from her on the east coast, from Florida to NYC to Niagara Falls.
  2. When did peddling influence and selling classified information become legitimate? Who said it made it into the book? Biden gave out classified information to his ghost writer. It's documented in the Hur report. Whether it made it into the book(s) or not isn't relevant.
  3. I agree with the self defense aspect. But a guy should never hit his wife twice. He needs to leave her after the first time he has to defend himself physically.
  4. Nah. All Biden sold was influence. And access to classified documents for the $8 million he was paid for his memoirs. Then he shared classified information with the ghostwriter. $8 million... https://apnews.com/article/4e07a4374953496194a7086d880d29a2 I'll refer you to the Hur report for details of sharing classified info with the ghostwriter.
  5. Yeah, 'cause that's the acid test for a great president. The ability to raise tons of dark money from a small cabal of the Uber rich. Of course, that may explain the $$$ trillions of taxpayers' money he's dumped into those same donors' companies. Besides, I'd bet that all Biden did was pop whatever they're giving him to stay awake and follow instructions from his handlers. Edit: I'd add that while Biden was schmoozing the uber wealthy in NYC, Trump was attending the wake of a slain cop in NYC. He's not even a politician, and he get politics better than a 40+ year career politician. Or it's just possible that he cares more... https://www.foxnews.com/video/6349903830112
  6. And risk getting impeached? She's the best insurance against impeachment he could ever hope for. I wonder if the Hur report may have had a different recommendation if there was a viable VP in the wings?
  7. Sadly, the Dems will have to do 2024 without SBF. But I'm sure they can find some equally scrupulous donors among the 5000. Glass houses. Stones.
  8. I've got no objections to her supporting any cause in her capacity as a private citizen. As long as she recuses herself from any cases that come before her that may be affected by that bias.
  9. While I agree with the gist, I think people are more motivated by immediate feedback than delayed punishment. I'd prefer to see them buy a few of those Dodge Challenger chase cars and pull them over and embarrass the scofflaws. Or maybe add lights and graphics to some of the confiscated super cars, and send some cops to race driving school. Win-win. Put the fear of Buddha into scofflaws and the cops can have fun.
  10. But there's no money in letting kids do healthy stuff like on the playground...
  11. I wonder if the Dems and the lefties who received the $$ millions in stolen money will be returning their donations to the rightful owners? Betcha they'd have given him the electric chair had he donated to the Bad Orange Man instead. And then they'd have indicted Trump as a co-conspirator...
  12. That's the stupidity. Had the DNC allowed RFK Jr on the primary ballots, he would have been trounced, and too late to mount an independent campaign. And they wouldn't have the 3rd party threat going forward. But for the optics, they kept RFK off the primary ballots to give the Big Guy a boost, as if he needed it to win the primaries. Edit: It's the DNC Elite warning anyone and everyone for the future... We get to decide who gets on the ballot. Not the voters. Apparently, they didn't get their message across clearly enough abusing Bernie and his voters.
  13. What the DNC Elite learned from the Bernie experience is that they can ignore the will of the voters with impunity, and get away with it.
  14. Do glass doors and windows move like turbine blades?
  15. If that's the plan, I'd suggest borrowing the car until he gets better situated. Maybe even pay her for the book but waiting to transfer ownership. There's buying the car, getting the book transferred, registering it under his name and insuring it under his name. I shudder to think of all the times he's going to have to produce documents, especially a residence.
  16. If Gov Ron is to be believed, it seems federal law already bans 13 and under from having their own account. Sounds like that means Florida is just agreeing, with a state law that they can enforce if the Feds won't enforce the federal laws. Also, doesn't ban kiddos from social media. Just having their own account. Parents are free to open an account for them to use, which seems pretty reasonable to allow parents to decide what's best for their kids. In any case, agree or disagree, I always think it's a good idea to get it from the horse's mouth before condemning the guy. Also understanding that he just signed the law. The Florida legislature passed it. The title of the video is misleading (though I found it great that Florida is severely curtailing squatters' rights). One more reason I like DeSantis, though he comes across as a plank of wood. Probably also why Florida is among the states with the fastest growing populations. https://www.foxnews.com/video/6349837857112
  17. Thank goodness for global warming. Otherwise we may soon have real short days.
  18. Gonna be interesting when they build enough wind turbines around the world to change weather patterns. Eventually, they'll be removing enough energy from the atmosphere that there will be unintended consequences, on top of all the birds they kill.
  19. That's what the DNC would like you to believe. In reality, they made it so hard to even get on the primary ballots he decided to run as a 3rd party candidate. Shades of what happened to Bernie... The DNC Elite consider the ballot decisions too important to trust to the voters.
  20. With loans being non-taxable as income, all the billionaires are taking loans against their assets to buy groceries.
  21. If the DNC had allowed the voters to fairly decide who's on the ballot, RFK Jr would have been trounced in the primaries with not enough time to form a 3rd party candidacy. They're getting exactly what they created. Too bad if they don't like it.
  22. I can't think of a major city anywhere whose cops would do more than take down a report for a snatch crime or pickpocket. Even if the victims provided CCTV footage. In most cities I've lived in, the victim wouldn't even get to meet with a cop. Just a clerk at the front desk or an online report. Best case scenario is the cops will show up in plainclothes the next few days in hopes that the thieves will stay in the same place. But it would be pretty dumb to telegraph that undercover plan.
  23. I've known a lot of guys and gals in wheelchairs who were perfectly fine getting around their house, and had a carer come by a couple of times a week to do laundry and heavy cleaning and maybe take them out in the wheelchair to do some shopping. Unless we know what the arrangements were, it's only a guess.
  24. I agree with that 100%, if only on the liability side. Hate to read about a foreigner who dropped a pane of glass, killing someone walking below. Thanks for the clarification. It all makes sense now, and hopefully someone will chime in with a recommendation.
  25. I'm not sure I understand the OP's situation. If it were me, the first thing I'd be inclined to do is to pull the window out of the frame and turn the sandblasted side inward so it never rains on it. And if you do splash anything on it, it's a simple cleanup job not not requiring the services of Spiderman. I'm also a fan of a frosted vinyl film instead of frosted (sandblasted) glass. Again, on the inside. So it's easy to scrape the old film off with a razor scraper every 5 years or so. With the added benefit that you can get a different pattern and/or color film if you're feeling artistic.
