Our guys all have SSNs, are W9 employees and have all passed the US government's E-Verify system.

Part of the issue with E-Verify (IIRC, it might’ve changed) is an employer can’t question documents turned in if you think they’re fake.

Used to be a booming business in Mexican border towns selling bogus credentials, SS cards, etc, probably still is.

If your guys have legit paperwork why do they hide if they think ICE is around?

I had to post this one too. I love watching these people work. This guy in particular is amazing. The sandwich? Again, looks incredible.

Per Grok: False, or at least misleading and overstated in the way it’s often phrased on social media. The claim that “1 in 5 women in Norway are raped” (implying 20% experience rape) circulates in tweets and posts, but it’s not accurate in a simplistic sense. Reliable, recent data from Norway’s official research body, the Norwegian Centre for Violence and Traumatic Stress Studies (NKVTS), shows higher figures in some surveys, but with important context. A major 2023 NKVTS national prevalence study on violence and sexual abuse found that approximately 20–23% of Norwegian women (and about 3–4% of men) report having experienced rape at least once in their lifetime. This includes: • Rape by force or coercion (~14% of women). • Incapacitated rape (e.g., while intoxicated or asleep) (~11% of women). • Combined or overlapping categories, leading to around 20% (or up to 23% in some breakdowns) for any form of rape. This is a lifetime prevalence (ever in their life), not an annual rate or something happening to 1 in 5 women currently. The study notes an increase from earlier surveys (e.g., forcible rape lifetime prevalence rose from ~9.4% in 2013 to ~14.4% in later data for women), possibly due to greater willingness to report, broader definitions, or actual changes—researchers say it’s unclear but concerning. Earlier studies (e.g., 2014 NKVTS) reported lower figures, around 9–10% lifetime rape for women, and some sources still cite those. Broader sexual violence (including non-penetrative acts) is even higher, with nearly 1 in 5 women experiencing other forms of sexual abuse besides rape. Key points: • These are self-reported survey results from population-based studies, not police reports (which are much lower, as most rapes go unreported—only about 1 in 5–10 cases reach police attention). • Rape definitions in these surveys align with legal standards but include incapacitated cases, which some debates consider broader. • No evidence suggests the claim is entirely fabricated; it’s rooted in real data from credible sources like NKVTS, though headlines sometimes round to “1 in 5” for impact. • Reported rape cases to police remain in the low thousands annually (e.g., ~2,400 in 2023), far below what surveys suggest due to underreporting. In short, surveys indicate roughly 1 in 5 Norwegian women experience rape over a lifetime (closer to 20–23% in the most recent data), but it’s not a universal “truth” without caveats—it’s a serious issue highlighted in official research, not something debunked as false. The tweets likely draw from these studies but may sensationalize or lack nuance.

That’s a huge bowl full of word salad, even for Grok.

They could have video evidence of Trump committing a crime and yall would just call it fake

There’s nothing of substance against Trump. The left has had 10+ years to bring out salacious Epstein stuff against him, and haven’t.

Yet they’ve tried impeaching, imprisoning, bankrupting, and killing him

People like you hang your hat on anonymous accusations about girls trafficked and bodies buried at a Trump golf course, when in truth during the time frame mentioned no golf course existed at that location, and Trump didn’t open a course there until a decade later.

I lost 4 people to Covid in the early days. The board may not like it, but they would still be here had they had access to the vax.

---

Sorry for your losses, but there’s no way you can guess that.

This summer will be 30 years I’ve worked ICU. I wasn’t one of the “ICU Staff” purportedly from various hospitals seen on social media videoing stupid choreographed dance routines, it was busy in my ICU.

One constant with Covid (particularly in the more lethal early days before and after the vax became available) was there was no rhyme/reason to it. At times healthier vaxxed people died, while obese unvaxxed people with every risk factor known to man walked out of the hospital perfectly fine.

Spent almost 14 hours working in the ICU, didn’t watch the game or the bunny.
Pulled for Seattle solely because two Gamecocks are on the team, otherwise just wasn’t interested. Life’s too busy.

When someone calls about a family member in a mental health crisis, a mobile crisis team should be sent out; not the police. Unless of course, the person is committing a crime, then both should be called out. It’s not rocket science. It’s mental healthcare.

So what does the “mobile crisis team” do when the person advances on them with a weapon?
Run? Hide? Get killed?

I watched a YouTube video on Haiti and it was scary and horrific. Sad for the good folk down there. I have to go to the Dominican Republic for a week and should not have educated myself in this instance.

Pretty sure there’s a wall guarded by armed guards separating Haiti and the DR. You’ll be fine.

Really? I don’t recall riots, daily assaults against LEO’s, or multiple legal actions taken with the intent of bankrupting or putting Obama in prison for the rest of his life.
