Just don't wait until the last day or two of visa validity. Things can happen -- airline issues, domestic unrest, etc. -- that can cause delays. If you travel in January and the visa expires in April, all is well with the timing.

Bidementia pardoned two turkeys for Thanksgiving and figured that one more turkey would be appropriate. Or, not a turkey, but a rat.

This is great reading and accurate. See if you agree. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trump's Wild Bunch Is Ready for Action [...] It's a far cry from Trump's first Cabinet, which he appointed with the permission of the administrative state. The outsider president didn't know enough yet – or have enough power – to buck the system. He went with consensus choices who, at best, might talk about change but would be hesitant to effect it. Half of them shot Trump in the back; most of the rest were disloyal to his face, along with the congressional power brokers who put up roadblocks to every meaningful reform. It's not hard to think of Trump as Pike Bishop, the William Holden character in "The Wild Bunch" who leads what's left of his gang out of a disastrous gunfight at the beginning of the movie and then plans his next move. At one point, Pike tells his trusted lieutenant, "This is our last go-around, Dutch. This time, we do it right." That's where Trump is now, at age 78, sensing the insufficiency of his first term and wanting to make a real difference the second time around. This time, we do it right.

Bye-bye to all the dirty rats. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kash Patel is the fumigator the FBI needs President-elect Donald Trump chose Saturday night to announce that his long-time aide Kash Patel is his choice to be the next director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and for anyone interested in a good fumigation of the bureau, this is a cause for real optimism. Before we get to the laundry list of FBI abuses that Patel would hopefully put an end to, let us first establish that this is a well-credentialed man who served at high levels in the first Trump administration. This is not an influencer. But Patel is somebody with a fresh set of eyes who has a chance to identify and cure the abuses of an FBI that has become too often an enemy, not a friend of liberty and freedom. For example, [...] https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/david-marcus-kash-patel-fumigator-fbi-needs

This is quite interesting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Uranus is weirder than we thought: Scientists report new mysteries of the tilted planet A pale blue-green enigma, the planet Uranus has long fascinated astronomers precisely because of its extreme distance, some 1.6 billion miles (2.6 billion km) from Earth. While it is comparatively easy to gaze upon neighboring celestial bodies like the Moon and the planets Mars and Venus, Uranus is difficult to see without the most powerful telescopes, such as the James Webb Space Telescope. As technology has advanced, it has unlocked more secrets of the strange, tilted planet (it orbits on its side compared to other planets in the solar system), from the fact that it may rain diamonds to discovering previously-unknown moons. Now a trio of recent studies has revealed that one of its moons, Miranda, likely has a stirring ocean beneath its surface, meaning it could harbor extraterrestrial life, and that the planet's own internal dynamics are more bizarre than we ever imagined.

This was 100% guaranteed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Biden pardons his son Hunter despite previous pledges not to WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden pardoned his son, Hunter, on Sunday night, sparing the younger Biden a possible prison sentence for federal felony gun and tax convictions and reversing his past promises not to use the extraordinary powers of the presidency for the benefit of his family. The Democratic president had previously said he would not pardon his son or commute his sentence after convictions in the two cases in Delaware and California. The move comes weeks before Hunter Biden was set to receive his punishment after his trial conviction in the gun case and guilty plea on tax charges, and less than two months before President-elect Donald Trump is set to return to the White House.

Garbage over! ~~~~~~~~~~~ Federal judge dismisses Jan. 6 case against Donald Trump at request of special counsel Jack Smith WASHINGTON – A federal judge dismissed charges Monday against President-elect Donald Trump for allegedly trying to steal the 2020 election, at the request of Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan agreed to the request and ruled with Trump's lawyers agreeing that "there is no indication that the dismissal is 'part of a scheme of ‘prosecutorial harassment' or otherwise improper."

Leaflets in London: 'Every Zionist Needs to Leave Britain or Be Slaughtered' What is happening in Britain today could all too easily happen here, and that's why every American should note the rising tide of antisemitism there, and particularly its frankly and unapologetically menacing edge. GB News reported Wednesday that "leaflets with the writing 'every Zionist needs to leave Britain or be slaughtered' were found spread around the streets of Hendon, a predominantly Jewish neighbourhood in north London." The message itself was bad enough, but the fact that it has gotten so little attention was a disquieting indication of how much antisemitism has already become normalized amidst the left's relentless propaganda campaign to isolate and demonize Israel after the Hamas massacre of 1,200 Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023.

It's Official — Trump Names Deep State Foe Kash Patel FBI Director The appointment has been rumored ever since Donald Trump was reelected president of the United States, and on Saturday evening, he made it official: "I am proud to announce," Trump wrote on Truth Social, "that Kashyap 'Kash' Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation." This is an extraordinary and highly significant appointment, as Patel has been a harsh critic of the far-left, highly politicized and deeply corrupt FBI. A thoroughgoing housecleaning appears to be in the offing — unless the deep state that Patel will be targeting manages to defeat him in a head-on confrontation. Trump added in his announcement: [...] https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2024/11/30/breaking-its-official-trump-names-deep-state-foe-kash-patel-fbi-director-n4934745

Really good rationales here from someone who was on the inside. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Top Priority for the Musk/Ramaswamy DOGE Commission: Decentralizing the Federal Government One of the best ideas I heard from Donald Trump for his second term is to move as many as 100,000 federal employees to "new locations outside the Washington Swamp" to places "filled with patriots who love America." This initiative will save tax dollars and help depoliticize federal agencies. There also are important security and fairness reasons to relocate these agencies across the United States. I speak from experience. [...] https://amgreatness.com/2024/11/29/a-top-priority-for-the-musk-ramaswamy-doge-commission-decentralizing-the-federal-government/

This will be an ongoing idea past the initial appointments and nominations, so let's start it as a new thread now and add to it over time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DOGE Theory One of the most intriguing developments following Donald Trump's election victory has been the announcement of Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. The initiative, which hopes to cut up to $2 trillion from the federal budget, has generated notable excitement, momentum, and memes. The world's richest man and a successful biotech entrepreneur, Ramaswamy, have revitalized what seemed to be a mostly dormant libertarianism, drawing on the inspiration of Milton Friedman and promising to slash the bureaucracy to the bone. But what are its prospects for real-world success? [...] https://www.city-journal.org/article/doge-theory?skip=1

Another record silence between our Unofficial and Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THE BLONDE ON THE TRAIN A blonde wife came home from her first day commuting into the city. Her husband noticed she was looking a little frazzled and asked, "Honey, are you feeling all right?" "Not really," she said. "I'm nauseated from sitting backward on the train." "Poor dear," her husband said. "Why didn't you ask the person sitting across from you to switch seats for a while?" "I couldn't," she replied. "There was no one there."
