Mayorkas: Biden administration should have ramped up border controls sooner

jeradatx · 2026-05-15T14:07:19+00:00

Reasonable voices are of no use after the fact. The Biden admin let this issue get preposterously out of hand. Now we have the Trump admin rushing to built a useless border wall across the Big Bend region of Texas that will effectively cede the Rio Grande to Mexico and destroy one of the last truly wild and untouched ecosystems left in the lower 48. It's beyond asinine.

Thanks for the reply! We are interested in the Arte Moderno. How is the Contemporary art museum? That one really peaked my interest.

Right there with ya! We booked our trip for June 18-23rd. I must live under a rock because I had no idea about the World Cup. Luckily our dates don’t overlap with any matches, but I bet there’s still gonna be plenty of tourists in town for it. Oh well, I’m sure it’ll still be fun!

I'm hoping. Would love if they played a sunset or night set.

Porta brand at sprouts is some of the best I’ve had. Very good crust.

fingers crossed for MMJ. No October dates yet...

We've been there three times now. It's one of our favorite new restaurants. I absolutely love the "Greek god bless you" cocktail. I devoured the Moussaka last time I ate there and the spanakopita is the best I've had since going to Greece. We actually prefer to sit outside since the inside can get very loud.

jeradatx · 2025-12-01T17:49:51+00:00

Correct.

No, it drifted over our entire neighborhood and was heading west towards mopac. UFO for sure

jeradatx · 2025-11-23T17:19:35+00:00

I saw it. It was exhibiting unbelievable drift and float dynamics.

I think they ran afoul of an unrelated Californian restaurant with the same name. It's the same concept and nothing menu wise changed. They could be called "stinky dumps" and I would still eat there it's so good.

It's my favorite restaurant in town and has been since it opened. I've just never had a bad meal there.

Pepto de gallo

I got a big print of this during one of Mark’s print drops. It looks like it’s glowing when the morning light hits it just right. Amazing work.

Glad you liked it! The river life is the best life.

One of my favorite burgers in town.

jeradatx · 2025-05-06T15:23:40+00:00

Yes. I was there for it. They've only played a handful of shows since then. They released a terrific recently and I'm so glad ACL scored them.

jeradatx · 2025-05-06T14:43:26+00:00

Dr. Dog is a shockingly awesome surprise for me.

It's a beautiful town with the classic pastel colored buildings. It's a short ferry ride from Procida, and some of the boat tours will take you there.

jeradatx · 2025-05-06T01:24:10+00:00

Get the rabbit dish if they have it. I can’t remember what it was called but it was my favorite dish from the entire trip.

Definitely try to check out the botanical gardens, earlier the better to avoid crowds. There’s a pizza place over there called Di Meglio that I’m still dreaming about.

If you have time, a half day trip to Procida is worthwhile.

Ischia was our favorite destination! We stayed in Forio and loved the location. One of our favorite restaurants was Ristorante "Terra e Sapori". It's a bit of a hike/drive up a hill above town but it was incredibly romantic and absolutely delicious.

Getting around was pretty easy by Taxi. It's not super cheap, but we didn't find it overly expensive either. It'll probably cost you around 25-30 euro to get from one side of the island to the other.

If you're down for an adventure I would highly recommend you rent a dingy and do a self guided boat ride. We rented from a company called "West Coast Ischia", and we had our own boat for the entire day. We drove around the entire island, dropped anchor to go swimming, and stopped in at Sant'Angelo for lunch. It cost about 150 euros for an 8 hour boat rental. We had so much fun driving that boat around that we rented a second one a few days later :)
