We had a Canadiana girlfriend years ago, si and eh man. It couldn't have worked out situationally, but she was probably our best match, si and sigh and eh man. Well, pay better attention or drink less or drink less or pay better attention, si man! You (after P-Math correction) sure have that right, si man.

Greatly looking forward to it.

Long, but understandable and captivatingly fascinating. Listen or read. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Global Fertility Crisis Is Worse Than You Probably Think [...] "Only two things are important right now in life: fertility and deep learning," the University of Pennsylvania economist Jesús Fernández-Villaverde said at the conclusion of a recent lecture. "Everything else is noise. Once you start thinking about these, it's hard to start thinking about anything else." In today's interview, Fernández-Villaverde explains: • Demographics 101: Defining total fertility rate, replacement rate, and momentum • Why the world has probably already passed "peak child" • Why 2023 was the first year in human history that the global fertility rate likely fell below the replacement rate • Why the question "why is the birthrate declining?" is so hard to answer quickly • Why most people underrate the long-term effects of low birthrates on world affairs • The compounding effects of sub-replacement level fertility: "If Thailand keeps its current fertility rate of 0.8 for the next 200 years without immigration, its population will decline from 63 million to 2 million."

Magnificent article. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Unite the Kingdom's new crusade has begun in the UK—and that's a good thing [...] I posited that Tommy Robinson is to the Islamo-socialist government of the UK what Lech Walesa was to the communist government in Poland. Through his courage, Walesa managed to knock down the first domino that led to the Soviet Union's collapse. Robinson's courage shows signs of doing the same against the UK's current morally corrupt government, as evidenced by the absolutely massive Unite the Kingdom rally in London today. The rally wasn't just humongously large; it was also openly pro-Christian. This Christian element is important because the rally is a pushback against the British government's open-door policy to mass Islamic immigration (both legal and illegal) and its obeisance to Muslims once they arrive, a policy invariably at the expense of non-Muslim British subjects of all races, colors, and creeds. It should be said that the British government did its best to shut down the event, and at least one Muslim knew why: [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2026/05/unite_the_kingdom_s_new_crusade_has_begun_in_the_uk_and_that_s_a_good_thing.html

An excellent analysis not explained elsewhere that I've seen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Voting Rights Act Never Mandated Racial Districts Ever since the recent decision of the Supreme Court limiting the use of race in drawing congressional districts, there has been a steady drumbeat of criticism claiming that the ruling somehow took away the rights of blacks and other minorities. But nothing could be further from the truth. As Justice Samuel Alito explained in his majority opinion, the prevailing interpretation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 as requiring states to create congressional districts along racial lines actually undermined the constitutional rights of other citizens by colliding with the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Unfortunately, the legal language of Alito's opinion is difficult for the average reader to penetrate, so it is worth stepping back and looking at the actual language of the Voting Rights Act itself. The part of the law at issue is Section 2. [...] https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2026/05/18/voting_rights_act_never_mandated_racial_districts_154131.html

Looking forward to hearing updates about everyone's happy news. Good things WILL happen.

Some do remain the same. CBP & ICE agents can detain anyone long enough to determine who they are and what their status is. The status-verifying documents are still valid. Having them near at hand, as you're preparing her to do, will cause even the most by-the-book agent to relax.

Still shaking my head at the utter repression of that regime, and the bald-faced espionage.

Good things will happen for each of you soon. Keep the faith.

If you or she remain nervous, see the first pinned thread in this forum for ideas of what to take along.

I concur with the above answers. Welcome to the forum!

One can knock this down to single-digit trips by actually taking an old bulb along to Home Despot to get the right replacement. But very realistic story.
