This seems to be dead-nuts on. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why Dems Ignore Rules One of the defining characteristics of the modern American Left is that it treats rules the way toddlers treat vegetables: tolerated only when unavoidable and immediately discarded the second they become inconvenient. That sounds harsh until you watch the pattern repeat itself over and over and over again. If they lose an election, the system is broken. If a court rules against them, the court is illegitimate. If constitutional checks prevent them from getting what they want immediately, then the checks themselves must be removed. Not debated. Removed. Which brings us to [...] https://townhall.com/columnists/kevinmccullough/2026/05/11/why-dems-ignore-rules-n2675884

See the very good points made toward the end of the linked article. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Miss Israel says Mamdani's wife shunned her at NYC café Israel's contestant in the Miss Universe pageant, Melanie Shiraz, said on Wednesday that she had met Rama Duwaji, the wife of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, by chance in a US coffee shop. Duwaji has a history of extremist social media activity opposing Israel and is a frequent critic of the Jewish state. Shiraz said in a social media post that Duwaji sat next to her at a cafe in New York City, and that Duwaji was willing to take a photo together, "until she found out that I was Miss Israel."

Does anybody have any sense? Eight years old?! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eight-Year-Old Suspended From School Over LEGO Gun An 8-year-old elementary school student in Georgia will be back in class today after serving a three-day suspension for allegedly crafting a weapon in school last week. The weapon in question? A few LEGO bricks put together in such a way that if you squint hard enough, it might vaguely resemble a gun. The child's mom reached out to local media after she was informed that her son had violated the school district's weapons policy; a call that she says was completely unexpected. The mother said her son, who has autism and ADHD, did not threaten anyone or behave aggressively.

The OP never returned to update her timeline. She's "following" this thread, so let's see if she returns to answer.

Completely nuts! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Absolute Stupidity of Connecticut's Glock Ban Connecticut crossed a line. They're not the first to do it, admittedly, but as the most recent to do so, they're going to draw all of the heat. The line they crossed was in banning firearms like the Glock, which can be converted via an illegal third-party-designed device to shoot full-auto. Glock has never approved of it, never sold the switches, or anything like that, but now they're being demonized for people doing something they can't legally do anywhere. And the entire thing is beyond stupid. In fact, it's probably even dumber than you think.

This is a fascinating take, and perhaps more accurate than what our media have been moaning about. The author is the Executive Director of the Urban Warfare Institute. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Who Has the Upper Hand in Iran? One of the strangest habits in modern war analysis is how quickly survival gets confused with victory. Iran has not collapsed overnight. The regime still broadcasts threats, launches missiles and drones, and floods television and social media with declarations of imagined strength. From that surface-level reality, a growing chorus of commentators has rushed to claim that Iran has embarrassed the United States, exposed Israeli weakness, and seized control of escalation through its ability to threaten the Strait of Hormuz. Much of that analysis mistakes continued existence for strategic success and ignores nearly every measurable indicator of national power. Wars are not scored like debates on cable television. They are judged through military capability, economic endurance, political cohesion, freedom of action, strategic leverage, and the ability to sustain power while degrading an opponent's. By those standards, Iran is substantially weaker today than it was before the war began. The United States and Israel still hold the upper hand because the foundations of Iranian power have been systematically reduced in ways that will take years to rebuild, if they can be rebuilt at all.

In the UK With Three Wives? No Worries, the British Taxpayers Will Now Pay You Extra [...] in some parts of the world, polygamy is accepted. Now, I wouldn't want to live in one of those places, either. As it turns out, many of the people who live in those places don't want to live in those places, either, so they are leaving for other places, like the United Kingdom. The trouble is, they are bringing from their old places to their new places the kinds of habits and behaviors that made their old places, places they didn't want to live, and thus turning their new places into the old places. Did you follow that? Never mind; suffice it to say that polygamy is one of those behaviors, and now, in the United Kingdom, they will pay polygamous dole-scroungers an additional dole for each wife. In plain language: The once-Great Britain is subsidizing polygamy, and the British taxpayers are getting stuck with the check.

Finally, continuous sense from SCOTUS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Supreme Court Rules Against Race-Based Alabama District The U.S. Supreme Court has vacated an order unconstitutionally requiring an Alabama district to be based on racial demographics, in another redistricting win for the GOP. The new ruling follows the recent Louisiana v. Callais decision where the Supreme Court judged that black-majority districts drawn as such constitute racial gerrymandering and are unconstitutional under the Fifteenth Amendment.

Good, and thanks for your detailed report. This is mildly surprising, but perhaps indicates workload. At least you had lots uploaded. Good awareness on your part. Not surprising. Maybe the manager can waive it. Good awareness and response on your part. Keep your fingers crossed that the manager will waive it or has the means to find it. Excellent! Shame that it wasn't 100% straightforward, but superb that the only potential glitch is something that you can get done rather directly. If you don't need the new I-693, that's the best of all worlds. If you do need it, get it, and impress upon the civil surgeon your need for two copies -- one for USCIS, one for your personal files. Hopefully, the USCIS people will tell you how to submit the missing stuff directly to their own office.

Interesting and gracias, Y ma'am. Of note, in Spanish, everything having to do with snakes is feminine, si man. Well, no, and we are loath to tell Mama T-B., who wanted this before she passes, she'll learn soon enough man. We think that ex-Mrs.-T-B. is still a bit loca anyway, conclude we man. She was deeply crushed by the rejection from the Rojo, conclude we man and admit she man. She also has zero sense with money, would drive us aysheep man. And she is not a rubia, oh well man. There is nothing "minor" or "little" about surgery if you're the patient, no Y ma'am. Is the shoe on the other foot, and do you still have one leg left to stand on, huh Y ma'am? Do not annoy, irritate, irk, or enrage the fearsome Y ma'am, no man! We too hope that Mini-B. gets that picture, Little Lord Fauntleroy wee man man. Edited to add: LPoP and unread, no see we or anyone man man.

Holding the Media Responsible for the SPLC Scandal [...] The mainstream liberal media exists within a bubble, beyond which is a reality that it cannot comprehend. That Southern Poverty Law Center apparently engaged in criminal activity is something that does not compute with most journalists and editors. In fact, it's downright impossible for them to conceive of the notion. It comes down to emotions and vague intentions. SPLC didn't really mean to break the law, those of the leftist media will try to persuade us with. "They were only doing good," we will be told. It's very simple with such minds: SPLC was an absolute good and thus anything they stood against was an absolute evil. And even now, they will refuse to admit that an organization they had considered so righteous has actually been exceedingly nefarious in funding those very racists they have portrayed themselves as opposing. But now the jig is up. And the media who were darlings with the Southern Poverty Law Center have been caught like a chicken in a tractor's innards [...] https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2026/05/holding_the_media_responsible_for_the_splc_scandal.html
