Grammatical miscues aside, you are somewhat right in that an elected sheriff does not answer to the executive of the county where they serve, but the sheriff's office does function as part of the executive branch where they are generally in charge of law enforcement and running local jails for their jurisdiction. They are not part of the judicial branch, and they are not part of the legislative branch within their entity

There are those pesky SSRI's again.

When a district judge puts in place a ruling based on their own political biases for the entire country, that sounds a lot like what a king may do. And yes, judges do have political biases, and are not always able to separate those from their rulings.

I thought Democrats vow to protect children?

Seems most appropriate here. Puyallup teen wrestler claims school ignored her claim of sex assault by male opponent (The Center Square) - The office of Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank and the Puyallup School District confirm they are conducting an investigation into an alleged sexual assault against a Puyallup high school wrestler. The Rogers High School sophomore reported the alleged assault to school officials and her coach two days later, but the family contends administration failed to take meaningful action to protect and investigate her claim of sexual assault. The alleged victim, 16-year-old Kallie Keeler says the incident happened during a Dec 6, 2025, match in which she was wrestling against a 190-pound male wrestler. She did not know he was a biological male at the time. https://www.thecentersquare.com/washington/article_125149f7-8481-4402-9dab-ae8514b768e5.html

Doesn't this depend on if a higher court put a stay on the lower court rulings? It is amazing how many judges believe they are a king or queen. As to clock hands what is that all about? The doomsday clock? If so, you do know that is a complete joke.

Yep, I believe this was already covered, and kudos for one side for actually getting something right for a minute (stopped clock and all). I also heard those on the left accusing ICE of putting a 5 year old boy under arrest. Still waiting for the proof of that one, but hey, Nazis, controlled by Hitler, etc. right?

I am still wondering if the ransom demands are from the real perpetrator(s). Unfortunately, I think without proof of life anytime soon, Nancy is probably gone, and either someone else is sending the ransom demands, or the perp(s) are trying to delay as they cover their tracks.

This sheriff was over-the-top, almost sounded like it was a bit, but unfortunately all too real.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will look for a number of my local office, and failing that, go in person and try to get it there.

A little venting here, so apologies. The last time I worked with the SSA, we could walk in, but now apparently an appointment must be scheduled. How does one navigate the SSA website, or phone system and actually get an appointment? The website constantly just refers me to do it online, and the phone system is also horrendous. I feel for those that are not on the internet.

Hopefully he deducts those days from his other state's tax filing. I am always against these types of tax items, did Sam Darnold actually earn CA. based income? I have heard rumors that NY and IL will hound you mercilessly after you move out of state with baseless accusations of owing back taxes. Anecdotal of course, but not really surprising. I see Mark Z. is leaving CA., wonder if he is moving his company as well so he can avoid any working days in CA.? https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/investment/zuckerberg-set-to-join-california-billionaires-with-miami-home/ar-AA1W1mi6

I bet there are "rocket scientists" in Congress, mostly Democrats, but probably some Republicans as well, that know as much as this elected sheriff.

Here is a relatively recent thread that might be helpful. You can also try searching on this site "DCF Naples" or "DC Italy" for some other members that have gone through that process. Good Luck!

I am not really certain why they are asking for this given the designation of Almaty as the location for IR5 and the designation of Russian Nationals as homeless nationals (due to no US consulate services in Russia). I would try contacting NVC through their public inquiry form and ask them why they are looking for this information. Good Luck! https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html?wcmmode=disabled

To be fair, I don't think being a controlling person is a cultural thing. I have met a lot of controlling women and men from all over the world.

Moved to the RUB Regional Forum.

Seems pretty normal especially in the current environment. Good Luck!

Not sure if it is common or not, but I would expect the focus would be on the subject of the RFE. That being said, the IO can re-evaluate anything related to the N400, so make sure she is prepared. Good Luck!

I don’t think Minute Maid as a trade name is going away, just the frozen concentrate variety. I cannot remember the last time I had orange juice derived from frozen concentrate, usually very watery IMO, it I do like a good orange juice. i was in a meeting a few years ago and one of my colleagues was drinking a can of TaB. I could not remember the last time I have seen anyone drinking this in a long time. I asked him where he got it and he said he could still find it in 12 pack cans in his local grocery store, of course not anymore.

Pretty typical of Democrats/leftists, they accuse their opponents of doing the things they themselves do mostly for deflection.

The comments are interesting on this X post. Seems like most times, the Left got it wrong again. I do love the broad brush R card.

Oh the irony.

Hmm, jumping ship or CYA?

As to the speeding ticket that is a grey area as the N400 instructions and form are not completely clear. Technically being stopped by a police office for a traffic infraction is considered "detained", but the instructions also include this note "Note that unless a traffic incident was alcohol or drug related, led to an arrest, or seriously injured another person, you do not need to submit documentation of traffic incidents.", so it is probably best to answer yes to that question in Part 9, and take the ticket with you to the interview and explain it there. It should not be an issue, in my wife's case, she received a traffic ticket for running a red light, and we forgot about it when she filled out her N400, but she did discuss it with the IO and took the documentation with her and it was a non-issue. As to your spouse attending, it is not required especially since there is no pending I751, but it can lend support to you on what could be a bit of a stressful time. In our case I did go with my wife, but we also had an I751 in process, the IO conducted a very short I751 interview with the both of us, but my wife did her N400 interview with me waiting in the lobby (YMMV). Good Luck!
