The Reapers are a huge threat and I need a WINNER." She said oh he burned up on reentry I said "not good! I need the Patriot that stopped Sovereign and let those council bastards die for being retarded."

1.5 million Texans have already voted early. Voters with a Democratic-primary history are out-voting voters with a Republican-primary history by about 105,000. Republicans, that gap closes this week, or it doesn't close at all. Vote early, bring your crew, and vote Republican all the way down the ballot.

Talarico would vote to take away your kids and transition them, not just in Texas, but nationwide.
Pure evil.
Every word is James Talarico’s.
27 clips. 4 minutes. 2019–2026.
“God is non-binary.”
“…many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six.”
“If you deny your child’s gender identity… it’s abusive for sure.”
“There’s only one person who can determine a child’s gender identity, and that’s the child.”
“I want to acknowledge that our trans community needs abortion care too.”
“…the bill that would have denied gender-affirming health care to trans children… All these ideologies stem from this Christofascism movement.”
“The way I fought for trans kids in the legislature is how I will fight for the U.S. Senate, and my position hasn’t changed.”
“Prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon with my own whiteness.”
“It’s always rich to me that defund the police is considered off limits…”
“Prison is violence.”
“Tear down this secret police force.”
Assault weapons ban? “Absolutely.”
Send this to 10 Texas voters and tell them to vote today.

The reason JD gets so much hate from Fuentes is simple jealousy.
Fuentes wanted to be a Peter Thiel acolyte but was rejected
He hates JD for having mix raced kid; is a mixed race kid himself
Call him a “faggot” and Fuentes is obviously gay
JD is everything Fuentes wishes he could be. A real mover with access to the levers of power and instead he’ll just be a Rumble streamer who’s only known as a punchline

PBS: The Trump administration is waging a massive crackdown on foreign students and workers by rooting out fraud, restricting issuance and vetting renewal.
The CEO of NAFSA says "We have never seen" a policy deluge against student visas, H-1B, OPT and more at this level before.

Texas is drilling. The RRC issued 759 original drilling permits in September, 684 of them for new wells. The Midland district led with 323, and the San Antonio area, Eagle Ford country, jumped to 101 from 66 in August. Keep the permits moving. Keep the RRC red.

I'm going to move on from this issue as it's caused me far more grief than I would like, namely due to attracting some of the most obnoxious people on this site
The US visa system is as clogged as it was before Trump, Cygames wasn't being diligent with their visa filings, and the global Uma community frankly doesn't deserve this concert for how annoying they are. All three are true, like it or not
The admin will continue improving our immigration and visa system as is appropriate with the amount of fraud we've been getting. This concert being cancelled is not the first time even within the past decade and won't be the last. It's not the end of the world and you can always go to the tracks if you want to support the racing industry. I feel bad for some of the fans, because I know them personally, but there will always be opportunities to connect and have a good time around the funny horse girl game
Go vote, R down the line, and best of luck with your pulls
Under 8 CFR 214.2(o)(2)(i), which regards filing of O-1 visas for artists: "Except as provided for in paragraph (o)(2)(iv)(A) of this section, a petitioner seeking to classify an alien as an O-1 or O-2 nonimmigrant shall file a petition on the form prescribed by USCIS. The petition may not be filed more than one year before the actual need for the alien's services."
The six months figure is from the instructions for the general I-129 but it directs the filer to read 8 CFR for specific regulations, which basically no one has here. Cygames had a full year to apply for this, seeing a 14 month wait time and still chose to cut it close. The didn't perform their due diligence in getting their performers access to the U.S.

A DOJ investigation into naturalization found that tens of thousands of aliens in cities like San Francisco and St. Paul had fraudulent documents, yet many have voted.
In the 1902 New York election, near 10% of the naturalized sample in the voter rolls did not have real records.

The Umamusume concert in Los Angeles has been cancelled due to VISA issues...
For a performer to perform, you need a specific type of visa, typically O-1B or the P visas, which now take 8-14 months depending on the complexity of the application. But current rules prohibit filing Form I-129 more than 6 months before the date of employment... practically making it impossible to have it approved before it is needed through a normal process.
To bypass the wait, you need to pay $3000 for premium processing to have it reviewed within 15 days. However, it can lead to issues with a request for evidence, forcing the application to freeze right before the 15 day deadline, practically making the speed-up application process useless.
There are other consular delays along with administrative rejections and paperwork gridlock, along with unpredictable bureaucratic walls.
This also follows other visa complications, with Tarokiki being unable to perform with the Wuthering Waves Concert world tour in Los Angeles.... along with other K-pop performers like Taemin, and Japanese composers like Yuki Kajiura to cancel their US performance due to unpredictable visa issues.
This is all due to the increased scrutiny placed on the visa program, leading to delays even for well-known performers and artists. While I support tightening up immigration, the fact that the US immigration system can't distinguish between fraud/scams and legit international artists is... par for the course when it comes to the US bureaucratic bloat.
Currently, it lacks a specialized vetting track for legitimate, high-profile cultural performers.

The visa they needed has a lead time of 10-14 months unless you pay 3000 dollars for an expedited fee
Cygames cheaped out. Thats all this is
Umamusume: Pretty Derby’s 7th EVENT: THE STAGE in Los Angeles has been canceled.
The concerts were supposed to take place on October 22–23, but the organizers couldn’t get the necessary US visas for the cast to enter the country.
They said they had “explored every possible option” to make the event happen, but ultimately had no choice but to cancel it.
On-site viewing and streaming tickets will be refunded. They’re also looking into what they can do for fans who were planning to attend in person.

Many don’t want to hear this but the best way to punish the GOP is to turnout and vote. All of the worst elements within it want a loss so they can then use that to enact purges and say “the solution is to appeal more to women and minorities and not these young white men.”

One of the single most important stories for understanding so many you encounter in right wing politics. They failed to get their grapes, attain what they wanted. So they become quite sour on them. Then they hate and resent anyone who has gotten these things they wanted.

I’ve come to know some amazing patriots in the Nathanael Greene Society over the past year. They’ve been steadfast in defending American values and have built a strong fellowship of men doing real work in the fight for liberty. Support them however you can.
Yesterday evening, the Nathanael Greene Society was notified of our disaffiliation from the Old Glory Club. While this came as a surprise, it ultimately has no bearing on the direction or mission of the Society. The Nathanael Greene Society remains committed to unifying Christian brothers in the state of North Carolina and furthering our goals and mission. We wish the chapters of the Old Glory Club the best.
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
