Our friend, Sofia Warren, has had a spectacular cartooning kick-off for Fall 2026:

* Her new graphic novel, aimed at the young adult (and old kid -- like me -- 😏) market, is shooting up the charts like a rocket!

The book, "Film Nerds," by Sofia Warren, is for anyone -- young or old -- who has ever wanted to make movies. Check it out:

❤️ Three Cheers for Sofia! ❤️ Hip Hip Hooray!

SICK OF THE CORRUPT, "BUSINESS AS USUAL" TWO PARTY SYSTEM? Then, it is time to think across party lines. America's artificial political duality is hog wash. I do not believe what Trump or AOC believes. They are opposite ends of the same nonsense. I am a libertarian, they are not.

In our prior post, we promoted joining The CATO INSTITUTE, a leading libertarian Think Tank.

If you value liberty, free minds, and free markets, and a government that gets out of your bedroom, gets off your over-regulated back, and gets out of your overtaxed pocket, then you are a libertarian. We truly suggest subscribing to REASON MAGAZINE, the publication the encourages free minds and free markets.

ENOUGH! We are better than this.
These are a sample -- JUST A SAMPLE -- from the past 24 hours, of the xenophobic, politically motivated hate-mongering, fear-mongering, and outright evil brought upon an electorate fed up with the garbage spewing out of this White House. Is this nonsense supposed to ENCOURAGE the vote for MORE oppression and hate?

ENOUGH -- Stop scapegoating IMMIGRANTS to divert attention from: a war we do not want nor do we need; out of control inflation; sky-high gasoline prices; federalized armed authoritarianism in locally governed streets; corruption run rampant at levels heretofore unheard of; and morally bankrupt kleptocracy (yes, Donnie Jr, and Ivanka, I am talking about YOU).

ENOUGH! Please simply scan this horror show sample of the 24 hours of news cycle trash. We are better than this. VOTE THEM OUT!

ENOUGH! New OPT Fees Proposed -- is this a joke?

I THOUGHT I was subscribed to the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) Newsletter, but I think it got mixed-up and AILA PARODIES are being sent instead. Is this post from AILA, or The Onion, or The Harvard Lampoon, or MAD Magazine?

What in Hell is Going On? If Trump thinks a proposed $70,000 OPT Fee will Make America Great Again, he is more senile and debilitated than he appears. If you are OUTRAGED, and you are a CITIZEN -- then VOTE out these populist, xenophobic, America-first fools. We tried this sort of nonsense in the Roaring Twenties, and it failed. Wake up! VOTE out the Congressional weasels who may allow this to happen as they sit idly by. ENOUGH!

CPT -- so, if the abrupt Trumpworld change to the "interpretation" of the real meaning of "CPT" (think Doublespeak in Orwellian terms) is causing everyone headaches:

* with school administrators freaking out and circling the wagons, and thus
* leaving the DSOs and the CPT students on the OUTSIDE of the wagon circle (holding the bag, and looking in),

then this may make the DSOs and students feel a little better (that is, if ANY one has ANY energy remaining with which to feel ANY thing):

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

Be careful out there, because, OH MY GOURD, it is decorative gourd season. Be prudent, be careful, and do not spend yourself into a hole of debt for a porch full of gourds that, well . . .that, uhm . . . that, okay -- I'll just say it -- that just rot away. 🎃

SO MUCH GREATNESS!

* Texas is most DEFINITELY GREAT Again!
* And America, inshallah (¡Si Dios quiere!), is absolutely GREAT, and Will Be Even GREATER, Again!

The level of Greatness is extremely high right now. But, there's no time to gloat.

Time's a wastin' -- we must punish MORE innocents, the young, who wish to assimilate, and become part of the American Dream through eventual higher education and by spending money in America, like:

* paying tuition for U.S. higher education; and
* spending cash on living expenses and paying sales tax.

THE TIME IS NOW UPON US: Let's cut off our American Nose to Spite our American Face! HOW GREAT! SO GREAT! We really are . . . Great!

🇺🇸

The actual enrollment loss amid increased deportation efforts is much higher as the federal definition that identifies immigrant students is limited, experts said.

THE FALL 2026 TOUR HAS BEGUN!
Our kick-off campus visit was with the liberal arts program at The University of Mississippi - Ole Miss . . . LIBERAL ARTS?!?!?! Yes -- liberal arts! U.S. Immigration is NOT just for STEM students, as you may incorrectly have been led to believe 😉

Please welcome America's NEWEST Citizen. This happy event is the capstone of a happy week. We're humbled by, and grateful for, the optimism expressed by our clients for the future of America! Is U.S. immigration pleasant right now? No. Is it rougher than it should be? Yes. Would many people be discouraged by the seemingly uphill battle with the U.S. immigration system? Probably.

But what we have found, over and over again, is an ongoing optimism, an everlasting hope, that America is STILL the place where personal liberty counts, where freedom is respected, where the Bill of Rights means something, and where dreams for a better future can -- and do -- come true. 🇺🇸
