Aurora, CO Police Arrest 8 'Tren De Aragua' Gang Members Who Have Been Terrorizing City, 2 More Sought [...] apartment buildings in Aurora, Colorado, have reportedly been taken over by the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, whose members charge rent on the apartments they have seized, sell drugs, and engage in sex trafficking.

This is highly interesting -- perhaps telling -- and pictures don't lie. Look and see if you agree, and please comment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Tale of Two Receptions The start of this is going to sound like the intro to one of those truly awful old stand-up jokes.

Tapper: Why Won't Kamala Answer Questions? [...] Yesterday, focus groups started telling Reuters, CNN, and the New York Times that Kamala Harris didn't impress them as a serious candidate, even if she managed to out-jab Donald Trump. While pundits sang hosannas (and in some cases in conservative media, dirges) over Harris' ability to irritate her opponent, actual voters wondered why Harris couldn't answer questions about her policies and positions -- and what she'd do differently than the last four disastrous years. CNN's Jake Tapper wondered the same thing, in fact. [...] https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/09/12/tapper-why-wont-kamala-answer-questions-n3794394

See the list of UNRWA employees who were also Hamas jihadis. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IDF Killed Hamas Terrorists. At Least 3 Jihadis Were UN Employees. The United Nations frenziedly condemned a new Israel Defense Forces (IDF) strike as one of Israel's "dramatic violations of international humanitarian law." The problem is that the UN workers killed were also Hamas terrorists. The UN and many other organizations and governments love to emphasize that the IDF strikes schools and "aid workers." What they are not telling you is that Hamas jihadis have long used schools and other "civilian" buildings in Gaza as terrorist bases and that the "aid workers" almost always turn out to be active terrorists. That appears to be the case once again with the IDF strike this week, where at least three UNRWA "workers" killed were Hamas jihadis.

Mark Penn (below) has joined Doug Schoen to become the second veteran Democratic pollster/advisor to criticize the lopsided moderation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Former top Clinton adviser calls on ABC to launch internal probe into whether debate was rigged Veteran Democratic pollster Mark Penn said "I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done [...] to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate." Penn is not the only one. [...] "I actually think they should do a full internal investigation, hire an outside law firm. I don't know how much of this was planned in advance," Penn told the "John Solomon Reports" podcast. "I don't know what they told the Harris campaign. I think the day after, suspicion here is really quite high, and I think a review of all their internal texts and emails really should be done by an independent party to find out to what extent they were planning on, in effect, you know, fact-checking just one candidate and in effect, rigging the outcome of this debate. I think the situation demands nothing less than that," he added. [...] https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/mark-penn-calls-abc-news-launch-internal-probe-moderators-fact-checking

Hoo, boy -- Hugh Hewitt is stoked! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Morning Glory: The worst debate in the history of presidential debates Not one question Tuesday night about the execution of Hersh Goldberg-Polin and five other hostages two weeks ago, or about any of the Americans murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7?

Not one question about the capacity of President Joe Biden to continue as president?

Good to hear! Other countries might have a problem, of course. Yes, check out Platinum, which gets stellar reviews.

An excellent firm to hire to help you decide and to navigate the process is one of our VJ partners: I have no conflict of interest in suggesting this avenue.

Actually, thread is now moved to the "What Visa Do I Need?" forum.

Thread is moved from General Immigration Discussion to the K-1 Process forum. This is one part. The other is that you must submit complete copies of your criminal record (each case and its resolution) when you file the I-129F or I-130 petition. The CR-1 visa (via filing the I-130) is superior to the K-1 (see below). However, avoid marrying until you clarify that your criminal history will not preclude you from bringing her here, or preclude you from visiting the Philippines. Compiled by our good member Crazy Cat: K-1 More expensive than CR-1 Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork) Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 6-8 months) Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 6-8 months) Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed. A K-1 might be a better choice when 18-21 year old children are immigrating also In some situations, marriage can affect certain Home country benefits, making a K-1 a better choice A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire CR-1 Less expensive than K-1 No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765) required. Spouse can immediately travel outside the US Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival. Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport. Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US.

In Brief Moment Of Lucidity, Biden Endorses Trump SHANKSVILLE, PA — The day-to-day grind of the presidential campaign trail was turned upside down today, as in a brief moment of lucidity, President Joe Biden endorsed former President Donald Trump. The stunning incident was the first momentary instance of Biden showing any sense of clarity, coherence, and good judgment, as he paused to put on a "TRUMP 2024" baseball cap during a campaign stop at a local fire station.

Media Assures Americans That Migrants Haven't Killed Any Cats, Just Women And Children U.S. — In response to viral allegations that Haitian immigrants in Ohio are killing and eating cats, dogs, and park fowl, media outlets have assured Americans that illegal immigrants are in fact only killing vulnerable women and children. The pet-eating allegations have spread quickly online, especially in the form of memes such as images of kitten militias wielding assault rifles and wearing MAGA hats. Congressional Democrats held emergency hearings to warn Americans that these images were probably not real, as kittens' paws are not well-suited to holding rifles.

Go to Elections thread to see post that contains videos of actual Springfield residents actually attesting to actual crimes against animals by the Haitians there.

See the video interviews of Springfield citizens here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vance Nails It on Pet Eating Scandal Are Haitians eating people's pets in Springfield, Ohio? Media folks want you to know that it isn't happening. Sure, nobody cared about the RESIDENTS of Springfield, who have been watching their city drown in a flood of Haitian "refugees" sent there by the Biden/Harris administration--a quarter of the town is now mostly Creole-speaking third-worlders who come from a country where people eat each other. But that is no big deal, and never was to the mainstream media. What really matters is that a city official says he isn't sure that cats are being eaten by said migrants, proving that anybody who thinks they might be are bad bad xenophobic racists. J.D. Vance is having none of it. And he is right. [...] https://hotair.com/david-strom/2024/09/11/vance-nails-it-on-pet-eating-scandal-n3794344

Some good points (from leftward) are made here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Donald Trump lost the debate because he's too online If you are reading this, you probably knew who you were going to vote for long before Tuesday night's presidential debate. The reason for this is simple: The minority of American voters who lack a strong attachment to either party tend to pay less attention to politics than partisans do. Any political actor trying to reach undecideds must therefore mind the knowledge gap that lies between themselves and their audience. And that is one thing that Donald Trump utterly failed to do at the debate in Philadelphia. For this reason, among others, Vice President Kamala Harris was likely the chief beneficiary of her first oratorical showdown with the Republican nominee.
