Biden tries to create his own amnesty program.
Because…laws don’t matter.
President Joe Biden’s administration is abusing federal law with its new program that is set to grant tens of thousands of immigrants authorization to live and work in the United States, a new lawsuit alleges.
Federal law enables the secretary of homeland security to grant “parole” to illegal immigrants after determining, on a “case-by-case basis,” that an immigrant is facing a humanitarian issue or that allowing the person stay in the country would have a “significant public benefit.”
But the administration is enabling tens of thousands of immigrants from four countries, including Venezuela, to receive parole after going through a background check and convincing a person already inside the United States to sponsor them.
The program “flouts, rather than follows, the clear limits imposed by Congress,” a new suit from Texas and 19 other states charges.
It’s asking a federal court in southern Texas to declare the program illegal and order the administration to bring it to a halt.
I don’t know about y’all, but I am so sick of the willful destruction of our country by those unwilling to follow laws, enforce those laws, or respect our Constitution,
Nite nite you all.
An observant Jew will be buried in a relatively plain pine box after being prepared for burial by a specially trained group of volunteers called a Chevrah Kadisha. The body is either clothed in white or his/her own clothes and wrapped in a shroud and a tallit (prayer shawl). There is no embalming, no open casket and four holes are… Read more »
Getting colder now that the sun is down. Gonna stay up for about another hour and call it quits.
Yep. You can be buried in nothing but a shroud in Texas.
In “Green” cemeteries!
When we went up to my brother’s best friends’s place up in Crocket last weekend, best friend told the story of his dad wanted a hole dug with a backhoe on top of that hill over there, build me a pine box, put me in it and in that hole. So they rented a backhoe and did just that. I… Read more »
When I complained about the caskets to one of Fay’s sisters (who had just months before buried her husband), she said, “Well, Dennis’ was real nice. Didn’t you like that one?”
I responded, ”Yeah, I thought it was very nice. But if I spent $6,000 on her box, your sister would‘ve given me hell for eternity.”
When I was looking at caskets, they all sucked – looked so cheesy.
But when I came upon the beautiful, solid cedar one, I told him, “Make a note, I want that one for me.”
🙂

Aaargh, I didn’t like the thought of Squawk in a casket like that. Guess my sense of humor is rudimentary.

That was just flat out painful to watch.

Sweet.
Great song, too.

I wish. BSue says it will be more like a front end loader with a backhoe.
#35 Texmo That reminds me of my cousin’s funeral. She loved to ride her motorcycle, and belonged to an all girl biker group. There was a fraternal men’s biker group. She was buried in an ancient cemetery in the New Braunfels area, and as I rode with my cousin in my cousin’s car, there was a very long double… Read more »
Squawk is this part of your funeral arrangements?
I remember when I was shopping for a replacement for my desk tower that fried when the wiring in our house went kerflooey. (Sorry about the technical term.) My computer geek friend was on the phone with me as Hubby and I walked through the computer aisles at Best Buy. The sales guy was trailing me discreetly. As I… Read more »

Trust me that mini is going to be a huge step forward.
Also, I’m not a gamer or doing huge graphics projects so I don’t need super speed or massive RAM to do what I do.
28 texanadian Thanks for the tip. I’m only interested in the basic Mac-mini M1 model. You have to realize I’ve been operating off a 13 year old Dell desktop with only 4 GB memory so almost anything I buy now is going to be an upgrade. My iPhone probably has more real power than this old Dell. The Apple Mac-mini… Read more »
texanadian and texpat I have read a myriad of reports about the so called crippling of Macs latest and greatest.

Well, I chickened out on raking leaves today. It is just too cold for me. Doesn’t seem urgent, either. I did do some pickup off the driveway yesterday, I think it was 6 bags, mostly pine needles. The reason that was urgent is anything I don’t get into the CoH trash bin on Wednesday for Thursday pickup… Well, if I… Read more »

What is the Constitution ? Huh ? What ? How do you spell it ? Why you making me look like a fool ?

This is from over a year ago and is a report about the teenaged girl in Kentucky who used the “I need help” hand signal sitting in traffic in a car with her kidnapper unaware. Amazingly, a driver in the car next door recognized the signal and called police. It may not just be a woman. It could be a… Read more »
My old Dell 4GB desktop computer seems to have a video card/motherboard problem. It keeps blanking out on me or freezing up. Squawk has hypnotized me into buying an Apple computer.

TT: Congratulations on clearing you bookkeeping hurdle. Now that the plumbing business is sold, your paperwork challenges should become more manageable.
M42: Happy belated birfday. May you have many more.
I think I finally cleared my last huge bookkeeping hurdle.
I’m so thrilled, I’d love to do my happy dance. But I can’t. Doc says I can’t.
But I can dance on the inside!
EG, I just saw the pix of your new greenhouse posted Over Yonder. It’s cute and looks useful, but I didn’t expect it to be a green plastic (?) tent. Hope it helps you with your gardening this year.
So there I am, running my errand, and I took the shortcut by going through the other side of the neighborhood — our only through street. A block in, and I saw a huge bird standing in the other side of the 2-lane street. It looked at me but didn’t fly or skedaddle. I braked and stared at it. It… Read more »
Still cool outside but the radiant heat from the bright sun on the south side of the house feels good. I opened one of the access panels to the greenhouse and warm, humid air came out from inside, so looks like it’s acting like it is supposed to. I posted a couple of pics over yonder. I think this dinky… Read more »
I just saw a coupla video clips. It seems there’s a “I need help” signal: opening and closing four fingers on the same hand. Just so ya’ know, if you see a woman doing that, especially if it’s surreptious, she’s in trouble and is asking for help.
That’s today’s PSA.
I was able to set up my specialized ring tones this morning. Fortunately, the clips I’d downloaded from a ring tone site transferred to the new phone. Daughter has a peppy “Daughter calling” song. Handsome Son is the “Imperial March”. Eldest and Next Eldest Sis have “We are family”. Aggie Beau is the Aggie fight song. Hubby has a country… Read more »

Tedtam @8:45 am sometimes to the point of an audible being sent out. Heh… I do that too.

We had light ground frost here and 31 at 6 with a moderate breeze. Definitely a reason to step lively on the way to retrieve the Chron just at sunup. Morning tea and reading part of the first section took over an hour. The rest must wait until chores are finished. Hope the sun hangs around all day.
Good bright and beautiful morning, Hamsters. Yesterday’s gloom and windy destruction of many things all over the Houston area can now be seen in sad detail. Yesterday one death of an elderly lady was reported on the news, and thus far from reading the Chron I have not seen more deaths reported directly involved with the tornado. I hope there… Read more »

Yep, that’s how she made her fortune. Insider trading.

I am pleasantly surprised by the lower pain level this morning. Normally, the first hour is kinda rough, and the first “sit” is distinctly uncomfortable, sometimes to the point of an audible being sent out.
This is encouraging.
