One would imagine that they're on or with the DS-160 form.

Comments? ~~~~~~~~~ Netflix and the WB Just Killed Off Movie Theaters [...] America gave up on Hollywood because Hollywood gave up on America. The result is empty movie theaters all over the country—one bomb after another. Of course, Warner Bros. knew. You'd have to be an idiot not to know. Does anyone think Netflix is sweating the online memes accusing it of being too woke? No, they aren't. They are making too much money to care.

The main points within this interesting editorial seem sound in regard to birthright citizenship. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Birthright Covenant: The Supreme Court will decide who is American The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear the Trump administration's emergency appeal of lower-court rulings that blocked President Trump's January 20 executive order on birthright citizenship. For the past eleven months, media outlets have pounded us with the idea that the dispute is settled law and that the very notion of a dispute is preposterous. One senior federal district judge in Seattle [...] https://tippinsights.com/the-birthright-covenant/

Something between defection and Jihad, one would imagine. Boycott, or, uh, Muslimcott?

Forgot about them. Eventually, one of us is going to have to search to see what the current groups are.

It is Sunday -- time for our hilarious, upvote-worthy Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THE EXHAUSTED PRISONER A woman visited her husband in prison. They had a long talk, and then the guard told them that their time was over. The woman got up to leave, but before she reached the door, she said to the correction officer, "You shouldn't make my husband work so hard -- he's exhausted!" The officer laughed. "Work? Ma'am, all he does is eat, sleep, and sit in his cell. He doesn't even go outside in the yard!" "Don't you lie to me!" said the wife hotly. "He just told me he's been digging a tunnel every day for months!"

Comments? I've never understood the logic of "only someone who looks like me can represent me." ~~~~~~~~~ The Supreme Court Is Poised to Strike Down Race-Based Redistricting [...] With the recent oral argument in the current term, Louisiana v. Calais, we were able to witness the justices tackle the third, and probably the most difficult of the intractable constitutional issues: race. In one of the most famous dissents in Supreme Court History, Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), a case which upheld a Louisiana state law mandating "separate but equal" accommodations in public transportation, Justice John Marshall Harlan famously declared, [...] https://chroniclesmagazine.org/editorials/the-supreme-court-is-poised-to-strike-down-race-based-redistricting/

What do we, especially our veterans, think? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The War on Pete Hegseth I have had enough. I can no longer sit still while the Deep State does its very best to smear Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and have him removed from his post via lies, rumors, propaganda, and innuendo. It feels exactly like version 2.0 of the "Trump/Russia Collusion" disinformation campaign, and it needs to be called out for what it is. Enough. I am here to defend the best Secretary of War/Defense since Caspar Weinberger. What we have seen in the last few weeks is clearly an orchestrated, carefully constructed character assassination campaign against Hegseth.

This author cites several Dem/Bidementia authorities, but what do you think about this merger? I tend to agree that it will mean higher prices. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Netflix Is Trying to Buy Warner Bros Discovery. That Would Be a Disaster for America. Today Netflix and Warner Bros Discovery announced a $72 billion merger, in a deal intended to consolidate Hollywood into the hands of a streaming giant. "Our mission has always been to entertain the world," said Ted Sarandos, co-chief executive of Netflix. He added that the combination of the two entertainment giants together "can give audiences more of what they love and help define the next century of storytelling." Already, filmmakers are coming out anonymously saying that the streaming giant, if the deal goes through, would "Hold a Noose Around the Theatrical Marketplace." Just the fact that creative powerful storytellers are afraid of opposing this deal publicly should tell us something. The deal looks illegal and is likely to face a merger challenge, which I'm going to go into. It may ultimately even prompt a monopolization case against Netflix. First, let's talk about why this deal is happening and why it's problematic. [...] https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/netflix-is-trying-to-buy-warner-bros

Unless things have changed, it's Cub Scouts/Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts. It might have all been combined into simply "Scouts" -- we should look it up.

Hmm. You're right; one instance does not constitute a pattern.
