You should have played safe and choose steak if on the menu. Can never go wrong with a steak.

Anyway, it's part of the whole experience.

True, but Steak are usually more expensive...

Was the Salmon cooked thoroughly?

It looks uncooked to me...

Just like the ones you buy from Grocery Stores like Whole Foods & Publix.

Never! Desanti will appoint more supreme court justice

What do you mean never?

Do you know what Amendment 4 is all about?

What does Amendment 4 has to do with Supreme Court Justice?

We're talking about ex-felons who have completed their prison sentence and are pardoned as a result they are now eligible to vote in a General Election.

GOP controls the senate. The most important victory.

Everybody expected the GOP to maintain control of the Senate so that wasn't a Suprise.

Had the Democrats lost the House of Rep then that something to worry about.

But the Regained control of the house after 8 years.

Ron DeSantis looks like he is going to be the next governor of Florida. Not looking good for Gillum. Only two percent of the votes left to be counted. Rick Scott steal leading Nelson in the senate race but it's still close

Meanwhile Amendment 4 which I voted for passed which is a good news for the African American Community.

The Amendment now enables former felons who have completed their Prison Terms to vote during a General Election.

Of the over 1.4 millions Felons 60% are African American.

Hopefully that numbers enables Democrats to Flip Florida back to Blue come 2020.

Not really happy.

Both Andrew Gillium & Bill Nelson whom I voted for lost.

I have never seen an election so close.

Couldn't get my eyes off the television until 99% of the precinct was reported.

Both lost by less than 100,000 Votes.

If Brian Kemp pulls of a majority in Georgia, his win will, in no small part, be due to his voter suppression policies there. A 10k or more vote margin could put either candidate over the 50% threshold required to be declared the winner.

Over 50K Registered Voters mostly Democrats are already been suppressed due to Discrepancies in Data.

He has also refused to step down as the Secretary of State which is also a conflict of interest.

If Stacey Abrams wins overwhelmly in the Atlanta Metro Area, Surrounding Suburbs as well as Fulton County as expected she would surpass the 50% Threshold.

The rest of the County in the State of Georgia would be a toss up.

The polls also showed Trump losing the 2016 polls. Even in this elections circle, they have been misfiring badly. Andrew Gillum will never have been the democratic party candidate in Florida if the polls were to be believed, they gave him no chance. In fact, they had him winning only 16% of the support in the primaries. Yet miraculously cheesy, he is the candidate of the party. Don't put too much hope on polls, they can be disappointing. The only polls that matter will be held on Tuesday and I assure you, it's gonna be very interesting cheesy

Most Democrats here in Florida expected Andrew Gillum to become the Democrats Nominee For Governor. His emergency as the Flagbearer for the party was not a miracle.

I have already voted for both Andrew Gillum for Governor & Bill Nelson for Senate.

Given any unforeseen circumstances & if things continue this way with high turnout of Black Voters, Hispanic Voters & Creole Voters, I do expect Andrew Gillum to become the Governor Elect of Florida State. He is very qualified for the job given his experience as the Distinguished Mayor of Tallahassee.

Same with Whole Foods here in the United States...

Thought you meant the one who obtained through fraud.

The one who obtained through fraud can definitely be revoked.

But they all have to go through a process which includes a hearing before a Federal Judge who makes the final determination as to whether or not Citizenship should be revoked.

Even if you are, it is revoked and buh-bye

I don't think they would revoke your Citizenship just because you helped an illegal immigrant commit an immigration fraud.

Provided that your Citizenship was obtained in a Legitimate manner it would be extremely difficult to revoke under such circumstance.

Now if you commited a treason like Edward Snowden OR committed a terriorist act like the Boston Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev then the Government has a Strong Basis to revoke your Citizenship.

Ultimately the government will have to present your case to a Federal Judge and the Federal Judge will make a final determination as to whether or not your Citizenship should be revoked based on the Facts & Evidences presented by the Government.

I thought to post this here as a point of discussion and of caution ⚠.


I didn't know things like this get to Fed court and can lead to jail time. I thought it was just deportation.

You get to serve your time in Federal Prison First and after that you're deported back to Nigeria if you're not yet a United States Citizen.

Hello EgunMogaji, Lucas99 and all, pls how long does it take to get a green card after status adjustment and secondly, can one start adjustment of status with his/her expired Nigerian passport?

What is your current status in the United States?

Student Visa OR Visitor Visa?

It usually takes anywhere from 6 Months -12 Months depending on the workload of the service center handling your case.

Texas Service Center is usually the fastest while Vermont Service Center is usually the slowest when it comes to handling petitions.

Texas all the way. Had offers before but I'm my own boss wink

150k salary there buys what a 55-65k salary would in tx

A friend of mine lives in Houston Texas.

He told it's very cheap in Texas. He pays about $700/Month for One Bed room.

Here in Florida One Bed room starts from $1000+/Month.

Only thing I really hate about Texas would be the hot weather.

Cc lucas99

I meant to buy one while driving back from Ohio the other day. Winners tend to be in towns that I've never heard of before but I still bought one near me.
I already know the procedure if I win.
1. Hire an attorney
2. Hire an accounting firm
3. Set up a foundation for your new and long lost cousins.
4. Save most of it and live off the interest.

The Winner would probably come from either Texas, California, New York OR Florida

My assumptions are based on previous jackpot winners.

You don't need to hire an accounting firm.
You can hire a Lawyer that doubles as a CPA that way you can save money.

Your Lawyer will help you set up a trust to claim your Prize that way you would remain anonymous

I wouldn't want people to find out that I won such a large amount of money. I definitely don't want my life to be in Danger.

I would also hire a Financial Planner. Suze Orman of CNBC comes to mind.

Most of the money would be deposited into my Chase Account so I can become a Chase Private Client.

I should be able to negotiate a higher interest rate with such amount of money and would only live off the interest generated while leaving my intial funds untouched.

That means you can't survive in the North East during the Winter Season...

I have witnessed below 20 in New York City before.

What if you get a good job in New York City, Boston & Philadelphia would you ever consider moving?

OR

Would you rather remain in Texas?
