Perish THAT thought! He's distracted enough from regaining Chrysanthemum status.

I echo Edward's sentiments. Thank you for taking the time to let us (and everyone) know.

Welcome to the forum! If you merely intend to inquire about case progress, you should wait a year; if nothing has happened by then, contact your U.S. Congressman's immigration liaison to ask on your behalf. Regardless, we need more details, per the questions above from others.

Not to derail my own thread, but this chica is quite a fox, especially for her age. So is Giorgia Meloni of Italy -- very ogle-worthy.

Cat needs to bite harder, then. Seriously, what an awful situation that turned out very fortunately.

Insight into reviving the South Texas sugarcane industry, a field that few of us here probably know much about. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Texas ag commissioner supports plan to revive Valley sugarcane industry Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller on Friday announced that he is throwing his support behind a plan to revive the Rio Grande Valley's sugarcane industry, which shuttered in 2024 when the Santa Rosa sugar mill closed due to the ongoing water crisis. In a news release, Miller said he supports a plan between Santa Rosa Sugar LLC, Bizos Cavallo, Vera International and Verax Commodities which have partnered and signed a purchase agreement to acquire the assets of Rio Grande Valley Sugar Growers, Inc. "Sugarcane has been part of Texas agriculture for over a century," Miller said in the release. "At its peak, the industry supported thousands of jobs, covered over 40,000 acres in the Rio Grande Valley, and contributed over $100 million annually to Texas. "When the mill closed in 2024, [...] https://myrgv.com/local-news/2025/09/26/texas-ag-commissioner-supports-plan-to-revive-valley-sugarcane-industry/

This is a highly informative and, I think, really interesting article. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mexico's first female president marks first year in office amid economic uncertainty TIJUANA, México — Twelve months into her six-year term, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is still riding high. Nearly eight in 10 Mexicans approve of her performance, polls say — a level of support that eclipses five past presidents and would be the envy of almost any world leader. Sheinbaum's public approval surpasses even that of her mentor and immediate predecessor, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, a highly popular president who left office with an equally stunning 76% approval, according to polls. Of course, many Mexican presidencies begin with cheer only to go out with a shrug — or worse. But like Lopez Obrador, Mexico's first female president wins the praise of many by attacking the country's deeply entrenched poverty and inequality. Through the last six years, 13.4 million Mexicans escaped poverty, according to the government. That's more than three times what three center-right, market-friendly administrations achieved in the first 18 years of this century, as reflected by government statistics.

Courageous, and revealing, undercover reporting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My Shocking Undercover Experience at Portland's Antifa-Besieged ICE Building On a lovely Sunday afternoon, I traveled to see for myself what was going on in the streets of Portland at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building that has been under siege by Antifa and its comrades-in-arms for five months now. I actually had an unprecedented experience there. Shocking, really. The entire phalanx of elected officials in Portland announced mere days ago that there was "only" one block of protester activity. They were downplaying the violence that had taken place there. Like robots, they announced to their citizens that visuals from the ICE facility were years old or unrepresentative of the current situation. What was the truth? I had questions, such as: • How many blocks under siege is acceptable for a local terrorist group to take over before it's considered a public safety threat? • If it's "only" a block, then why haven't they cleared it out? • How many blocks are really taken up with this activity, anyway? • Is it appropriate to encourage this security danger around a federal facility by doing nothing about it? • Why didn't they arrest people who had been identified in assaults? • Why are the journalists who are attacked while reporting on this story treated as if they're asking for it because they're covering a story? • If the site is under control and secure, as city and state leaders allege, then why isn't it under control and secure? • Why didn't local elected officials hold their press conferences in the riot zone instead of a mile away?

Don't! It's IR-1 status. Contact your Congressman's immigration liaison immediately. You'll fill out an easy form (perhaps available on their website) to give permission for their office to intervene on your behalf.

Anybody else think that this clown should drop out ASAP? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Beyond disqualifying': Jay Jones controversy jolts Virginia's pivotal 2025 elections What began as a quiet October Friday in Virginia politics erupted into a full-blown national scandal when screenshots of private, three-year-old text messages showing Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones fantasizing about shooting then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his children were made public. The National Review story revealed an August 2022 exchange between Jones — a former Norfolk delegate and one-time assistant attorney general — and Del. Carrie Coyner, R-Chesterfield. In the texts, Jones described a scenario in which Gilbert "gets two bullets to the head," followed by a wish that the Republican lawmaker's children "die in their mother's arms." The messages, sent shortly after [...] https://virginiamercury.com/2025/10/05/beyond-disqualifying-jay-jones-controversy-jolts-virginias-pivotal-2025-elections/

Cool! How did you learn about it, and what sold you on it? I like those, too. The plastic supermarket bags are good for dumping cat poop into, and periodically I take my extras to my favorite thrift shop, where they know that they're clean, dry, not torn, not gross, and not wadded up.

Intriguing.
