“This was no small thing, to restore a republic after it had fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may have been that our task was impossible. Yet, if we did not try then how would we know it could not be done? And if we did not try, it most certainly would not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, would have been lost.”
“But I tell you this: We did not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we made with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

What say you Sundance? Is there a “color revolution” happening against MAGA?!
Since 2015 ………
Thank you! I like Childers’ more nuanced take.
I do too! The ds is always steps ahead of anything beneficial to this country. Their Globalist masters demand this country be dismantled and they will do whatever is necessary to achieve their goal.
“It’s calculated hypocrisy. This is how the deep state operates—playing both sides of every conflict, every crisis, every debate, as long as it serves the ultimate goal of consolidating power. They don’t just manipulate narratives; they manufacture them. When caught, they simply pivot, bury the truth under layers of mind-numbing obfuscation, or dismiss critics as conspiracy theorists. It’s a game of plausible deniability, where the human cost is nothing more than a line item on the geopolitical spreadsheet.”
This ONE issue will not fracture MAGA. We have a tendency to think logically about the issues that we face. The left does not. The H1b discussion will continue but it is only a minute detail compared to the enormous task of repairing the disastrous policies of the past four years!
I’m not trying to pick a fight but I do not consider the h1b visa issue a small detail.
I agree but it is being used to drive a wedge into the MAGA movement.
There’s no wedge, we’re all united . . if people were so valuable China and India wouldn’t be trying to get rid of them, and Vivek & Elon are just trying to do what billionaires do . . get cheap labor.
If billionaires can’t operate patriotically in Our Country we don’t need them either.
The source of cheap labor should be Africa and parts of Asia and Latin America. Instead of sending unemployed poor people to Europe and the US, factories should be built in those places. Why isn’t the CIA lurking around Haiti and Mexico and exterminating gang members? (This is the Cliff Notes version.)
Why should there be a source of cheap labor?
But it won’t. MAGA at its foundation is about limited foreign workers, so that will settle debates.
What happened to America first, and America only? I’m certain I heard that somewhere once, a long time ago.
Really? I have never heard of “America only”.
Debates being the key word. MSM is conflating social media discussions as a fracture in MAGA… ignoring the fact that a robust discussion is a healthy thing.
Me neither. I also want to reiterate that H1b visas do not have anything at all to do with bringing in the highly skilled, and we KNOW THAT, and we have already all seen American workers kicked out of the jobs they held in favor of H1b workers so highly skilled that the Americans needed to train them.
I also do not appreciate the author’s take that criticism of facts related to Indians and H1B or even first-person stories about what happened to Americans is “anti-Indian” which implies that we bigots should all just shut up.
I’m sick of hearing the “right now” form of “shut up”, btw.
It is always “right now” and I will NOT accept anyone telling me when is the proper time for me to even mention any issue I choose.
I don’t think he was trying to convey that we “shut up”. I believe he was making the point that we absolutely have a right to address the issue, calmly and logically without using slurs against Indians in general. We know the ds loves to throw around the MAGA is “white superiority” on steroids. Quite frankly, it’s far from the truth. I haven’t seen any such comments on these pages just frank AND good discussions regarding the issue.
Apparently there were some on X that went that route. It is unfortunate and for all we know those accounts could be conservative voices pretending to be MAGA.
“What followed next was some of the ugliest free speech you can imagine, with apparently respectable conservatives throwing around anti-Indian tropes so repugnant I won’t repeat them here. Think gas stations and motels and Apu from the Simpson’s and you’ll start to get the idea”
I haven’t seen those types of comments but it does sound like some ds folks are trying to just stir up 💩. I choose to ignore those folks.
MAGA means Make America(ns) Great Again! Citizens first and foremost!
Anti Indian tropes are bad but attacking American culture and calling it mediocre is not offensive. Ok.
I don’t think American culture was considered mediocre of itself. The criticism was that the sub par American education system pushed out mediocre results which leads to mediocre employees for skilled jobs which then can affect the culture.
They have a point there as has been stated. Our present education system sucks. If it doesn’t change we will remain a mediocre country for the foreseeable future in the tech and other stem business areas in which we are competing to be amongst the best across the world.
Have you ever worked with an Indian h1b visa? They are not better educated. They are churned out of engineering schools in Calcutta with zero accreditation. They are sub par not superior to American workers.
We may have problems with education but it is a LIE that India produces better engineers than America.
My husband is an Engineer and works with engineers all over the world. In Russia, India, Brazil, and China. Indian engineers are not great engineers and neither are the Chinese. That is not to say that some aren’t but most are not.
I wish people could understand that point. Indians are cheap labor that is it.
Feels like it’s 2012 and we’re arguing with the Chamber of Commerce all over again. It was settled when we elected Trump in 2016. America first does not = More H1b visas.
It has been my understanding that E-verify is supposed to assure that employers verify that all hires are legal. Am I wrong in this?
Return of the circular firing squad.
Laura Loomer is on Bannon’s War Room right now raising he11 about Elon and other tech billionaires, saying they aren’t MAGA. She’s still complaining about being suspended and kicked off Twitter pre Elon.

Laura Loomer Sounds Alarm On Big Tech Oligarchs Influencing Policy
( 9 min 38 )
https://rumble.com/v63dubh-laura-loomer-sounds-alarm-on-big-tech-oligarchs-influencing-policy.html
I’m more interested in Peter Theil and Bilderberg than this… Peter Theil is a Tech “Oligarch” to keep an eye on if you ask me. Loomer’s ignoring the larger discussion .
Peter Thiel’s membership in the Bilderberg Group and his influence on J.D. Vance’s career raise questions about the potential intersection of technology, politics, and global governance. As a prominent figure in the tech industry and a supporter of conservative causes, Thiel’s involvement in the Bilderberg Group may have significant implications for the direction of global politics and economic policy.
This is why I never trusted Elon. He has a transhumanist agenda and he’s using Trump as a springboard. He worships money.
And Baal.
Loomer adeptly articulates the obvious concerns many have regarding all the newest batch of billionaire technocrats all bringing their paltry million dollar checks and ( both metaphorically and actually ) donning their MAGA hats to all of a sudden have a seat at POTUS’ desirous dinner table.
With the exception of a scant few – Also per Sundance’ recent thread re the ever broadening reach and influence of “the I/C = surveillance state” that will not be abated during POTUS term ) and, well…
The notion of Gates having any influence and even proximity with POTUS is anathema and prima facie cause for concern.
I watched all those 3 min twatters.
Loomer nailed it, measured in her delivery. Anyone, say what they will re Loomer = fearless.
Raheem Kassan also similar points, and well made.
DC Draino Goodley ehh, whatever. Same clarion calls
Posobiec. Never could listen to that guy,
Why don’t any of the people ranting over this issue today in the media and all across social media not give PTrump any credit for knowing what to do with all this? It’s like he’s being totally ignored which is crazy since all of it goes through him eventually and he will make some decisions about what happens.
Methinks they ARE taking PDJT into account.
They are trying to generate this very discussion we are having right here, thruout MAGA, in hopes it will create a groundswell, PDJT will HEAR it, and it will influence him.
Recall the nominee for DEA, lasted a day? Because WE objected, and PDJT heard us.
And that was initiated by people that knew that Florida Sheriffs record, or researched it, and in either case then began harping about it,to generate a discussion.
Lets see what happens, certainly PDJT has heard the cacaphonous roar after Viveks indelicate, innappropriate tweet.
Yes, Martin — a crucial distinction. It’s America First — but not at the expense of American citizens.
It seems like Musk and Vivek have gotten over their skis by being so zealous for America First, even if it means replacing American workers with “more affordable” and supposedly “better educated with better work ethic” foreign labor. And their anti-American biases and false suppositions are showing.
I just pray that President Trump shakes loose from the big pull of wealthy tech oligarchs schmoozing him at MAL, saying nice things about him publicly, making him feel popular, and wanting to be his “best friend,” to listen to the cries of the millions of impacted $20 MAGA donors, who stood by him when those elite titans deplatformed him and wouldn’t let him join in any reindeer games.
I am grateful to God, Sundance, Laura Loomer, Steve Bannon, and others that this conversation is finally happening in the open now, while the chess pieces are still being set up. PT resisted the lure of money and popularity with the globalists and elites in 2016, so he wouldn’t owe them anything. I pray he is wise enough to do so again.
er….. have you ever heard about the Khalistani/Hindu problems in Canada …?
Wow, Martin – no, I hadn’t heard about that. Thanks for posting.
It sounds a lot like the Islamic stand that declares that anywhere a Muslim has walked or lived at any point is now Islamic territory. I read once that they even consider having children and populating new areas a form of “jihad.” (Could that be one factor in Elon’s passion for seeing the West have more children? Just a thought…)

Dude sounds just like little Justin.
Quick. Oh Canada. We will be happy to take your country in and save you from all this. Come on into the good ship America.
The guy saying ‘Whites need to leave’ and that ‘Canada is their country’ must be thinking that the “Indians” who originally owned the land were them.
Anyone who has worked with Indian h1bs knows these people are not better educated. Not by a long shot
I just haven’t been able to get with JD and have noticed that future prognosticators have totally ignored his existence when discussing their projections for the next election. What am I missing?
If true, it looks like we have three MS-13 strongholds.
See that South East US section. That’s why I can’t find a decent hotel on my way to Florida.
I really don’t know how people feel safe booking motel rooms ahead of time? I am cautious of bed bugs which seem to show up in the nicest motels and homes. When I install flooring, I won’t work anywhere there are roaches or bed bugs. I pack up my stuff and leave. I won’t put anything coming out of these places in my work truck such as old carpet and pad.
What’s with New Mexico?
My guess, is that they are “Germans” whose parents grew up in the middle east and then migrated to Germany.
Why, “Germans” are going there, I do not know. Maybe they want a piece of territory that is attached to Mexico and the trafficking of people and drugs through MX.
They could be Mennonites. Sects of German Mennonites from the US settled in Mexico years ago. Recently, their farms failed due to the crime waves in Mexico and they have resettled in the US.
Is the meaning of Trinity Site misunderstood by Germans?
What is the source for this map?
Completely forget any and all political implications … that is a very interesting map! Just another good reason to visit The Treehouse!
The problem with this is at the University level where they are allowed to take contributions from foreign countries. This essentially equates to bribery. If Qatar gives a university a $1 Billion endowment, you can be sure their students will get first dibs on admission over American students. The universities DEI policies also mandate they admit foreigners. Get the Unions out of K-12 education and a lot of problems could be solved.
The United States graduates over half a million STEM students per year. If there is an issue in the tech workforce, then we need to address it at the educational level, not import a problem away.
Look at the administration and staff. Foreigners up the wazoo.
Billie: This was and is intentional. With education and assimilation, it would not pose a problem, but, there is very little education about American History and the constitutional basis of our republic and assimilation is no longer valued, or even necessary.
Yeah, But, Um…How many of those half a million STEM students are American students, Mike?
Good catch!
We built those schools for our children, not for foreigners, greedy oligarchs, America- hating Communist professors or Occupation Government bureaucrats.
Thank you, TC.
I came to make the same post.
Very sobering analysis and good advice.
So glad you posted this here. Childers’ take is truly worth considering.
Related, a point I have made elsewhere: a huge, decades-long messaging error in the conservative discourse about immigration is clearly and loudly distinguishing lawful from unlawful entry into the USA. I can attest to the blank faces when I ask people if they are referring legal or legal immigration.
The foreign worker visa program is long overdue for an overhaul. In the turn-of-the-century era when I worked in tech, tech-adjacent, and tech-affected companies, the whole system was about gaming it. All 425k visas were snapped up on the first day the window was open in April. Legal fees in the annual budget were astronomical. For non-tech companies trying to improve internal tech capacity, the recruitment war was a nightmare. There was far more demand for qualified people than were available or willing.
Today, it seems like apprentice and company-sponsored train-to-hire programs would be a welcome step.
The complexity of this topic is beyond my pay grade. I am out of the workforce and unlikely to re-enter. I hope younger people benefit from sorting out the craziness. MAGA.
We needed to remove the unConstitutional “emergency” powers that virtually all of outr elected officials eagerly embraced over a cold virus, but we made excuse for the ones we liked, nobody ran on fixing this, and now it is going to get worse because we tolerated it.
Nicole Shanahan: Gavin Newsom’s “nutty” state of emergency order handed the state enormous power over independent farms
The emergency never ends. I wish for an asteroid.
On mandates, directing your attention to article at TGP”Houston Metbodist Hospital faces fifth circuit appeal over,…”
by J.M. Phelps.
A concise article that never the less, lays out the stakes, and cites the specific Federal law violated (and its history!) in mandating people take an “investigational” drug, a law very few lawyers are even aware of.
Highly reccomend this article.
“The Fifth Circuit’s appeal brief reveals a legal framework that will shock the conscience of most readers once they realize the layers of legal protections designed to stop what potentially occurred under Houston Methodist’s COVID-19 mandates.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/houston-methodist-hospital-faces-fifth-circuit-appeal-investigational/
The true horror is that included in this declaration, is the power granted to the state to procure any NON-BID PPE equipment deemed necessary to manage the emergency.
In other words: Gavin’s PPE producing pals in Chy-Nya will be grabbing billions from California’s treasury without oversight, as Gavin and his henchmen hold the door open for them.
Bigly kickback$ coming to the communist super majority legislature.
It’s beyond in your face, especially after another massively corrupted election in the state. Until the good people of California fight fire with fire, the band will play on.
Gavin made sure to put the “no bid contracts” will be used in his emergency declaration. How very lucrative for him.
IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR FORCED mRNA VACCINATION OF HERDS TO POISON CONSUMERS, WHICH ALONG WITH FAMINE, IS THEIR GOAL.
We bind the wicked Spirit of Poisoning and Starvation and call down this house of demonic Genocide in Jesus’ Name, and we loose Liberty and Healing in His Wings, Yes and Amen!
Read a lot on page 1 today about H1B and our need for more technically educated people from Vivek and Musk.
I guess Musk posted on X we need double the 160,000 semiconductor engineers by 2032 to meet our needs.
This seems like a great opportunity to go into our high schools and colleges to provide this information to the students and explain the projected need for technical educated individuals. 2032 is seven years away and many/most young students don’t have a clue what they plan to do professionally. Explaining what type of expertise will be needed by the time they graduate college or some technical institute might motivate them to get interested.

Pacheco the Ghost, Ashley St. Clair from Twitter – seen on Sundance’s Twitter – in case you all didn’t see that over there!
“Doing the jobs Americans don’t want to do” . . . another lie perpetrated on the American people!
Sure sounds like a racket.
Similar to the human trafficking NGO’s.
Absolutely. All for money. Half of Universities would be seriously damaged without the tuition of foreign students flowing into their coffers. They might have to give up their Trans-Lacross leagues.
And now we’re supposed to deal with a new slur, Nativism. Sounds like Elon and company are just a bunch of dems.
I would like to know where people who justify importing labor get the idea that American young people don’t want to do those drudgery jobs like coding because they aren’t “fun”?
Work is not supposed to be “fun” – that’s why it is called work! What isn’t “fun” is not being able buy a home or even rent a decent apartment, being able to provide for your loved ones and have them in a safe environment, having good, healthy food to eat, learning basic things in school, not falling behind in those critical years where the young mind can learn so much . . . and develop into strong, confident young people who will be equipped to build a good life for themselves and be an asset to the nation!
Learning and working at learning, having jobs from an early age, it doesn’t matter what your household family income is, everyone has a responsibility whether setting the table, getting the morning paper for Dad, feeding the dogs, grooming the horses, cleaning out the stalls, taking the livestock out to pasture.
Then once upon a time the young people grew up to work in steel mills, textile mills, shipyards, defense plants, tire plants, mines, docks . . . whoever said anything about “fun”?
I think the shortage is real. Also I think it is cheaper to hire h1bs. I watch newspaper want ads. Always lots of programming openings.
I question whether our public schools are capable of producing students with the needed skills. Data I see shows students math skills lagging.
Cut the handouts! Once these parents and kids see the abyss they are about to embark upon they might get educated. And kill all student loans completely, regulate all loans so if a person defaults the bank has to cover the cost not the feds. Grants, from companies can cover education and steer talent. These companies have billions for training. The government shouldn’t be covering all these costs.
The gov’t doesn’t cover the cost, the taxpayers do.
Universities have $Billions in endowments. Force them to be in charge of student loans and I guarantee tuition prices would go down,
When BHO put the Federal Government in charge of student loans, the universities saw their goose that lays golden eggs and dramatically increased tuition prices.
For K-12, institute National School Choice, as PDJT promised.
This will cause an exodus of students from failing and unddrperforming schools, and as they will take the Fed, State and County education $’s with them the shutdown of these Schools.
The students will take that $, and go to public, private, parochial schools that are achieving excellence, or opt for home schooling, and the $ will enable a couple to have one stay home and school the kids, which many who would like to, can’t afford to, now.
Revamping the University system, is a whole seperate operation, that starts with changing how Student loans are set up.
Motivate schools,whether K-12 or University, to strive for excellence, and they will.
Unfortunately, right now and for many years, our educational system has been motivated to strive for medocrity, leaving many children behind, in a race to the bottom, because of POLICIES that rewarded poor performance.
The SCHOOLS should be the guarantors
Most public schools are now incapable of producing the quality education needed to get into colleges and universities due to DEI and Marxist indoctrination, and if they do make it to said colleges and universities, most give them more of the same.
The Bush policy of “No Child Left Behind” helped create the monster of kids graduating with subpar education .
Maybe so. But we graduate kids that go one to engineering degrees. They tend to be the hardest working and most gifted students.
These H1b visa people don’t even graduate from accredited universities.
You don’t want them replacing American Engineers or you will get airplains with the same attention to detail and quality that you find in Indian hotels.
Those job ads are put there by the companies wanting to bring in the H1Bs. They have to do this to comply with the rules of H1B visas…. to show there is no other way to get the job filled. Of course, no American who interviews will be “good enough” to get the job, or they won’t want the job because the pay is too low.
There was also an article posted recently stating that around half of the posted job ads are for jobs that don’t actually exist. Companies use them to build a pool of resumes in case they need to fire someone, or maybe hire more people I suppose.
Yes, I have heard that also.
Sounds like those companies are trying to qualify for some requirement even if they have to do it with a lie.
If the pay is so low that purportedly Americans don’t take the jobs or simply cannot afford to take the jobs and even if they did accept the jobs, they will not get hired because such companies must be availing themselves of offsets so to speak that our own government provides – maybe they don’t pay as much for the salary itself but housing is provided as well as other benefit on the new plantation scheme.
Our own government schemes with “business leaders” to contrive Americans out of jobs –
it was happening when entire communities were gutted in America in the aftermath of steel and textile mills being shut down, manufacturing moved TO China (the PRC) with the help of the US government!
The US government HELPING entire communities to be destroyed as the government facilitated the move of industry to the PRC, so the companies could elude the government-inflicted rules and regulations and union demands that were given as the justification for making the move. Don’t worry about all that jazz in the PRC, you can pollute to your heart’s content, you have a captive workforce brought in from the countryside that is trained to do the jobs, don’t worry about job safety or worker’s compensation or paying people very much! No union protections at all.
Then when you have something like Tiananmen Square happen and we are seeing it live as tanks are lining up, pull the feed and shut it down. Send James E. Baker, III to mollify the CCP-PRC so all those wonderful factories built by American companies won’t get shut down or nationalized or whatever dire thing might happen to their bottom line if it gets too annoying to hear about young people being hunted down for a simple and peaceful protest.
Just like Karl Marx predicted about the greed of the greediest capitalists being so profound that it all drops into the hands of the Marxists like an overripe fruit.
We have and we still are, and those people are losing jobs to foreigners.
No our public school system is broken. All of our good programmers that we hire are either self motivated/taught or foreign workers.
How much do you pay?
It’s propaganda. We produce many engineers and stem people.
H1bs are not part of American society and never will be. Just another way to make America like the UK. Spent lots of time there in the 90s and it was easy to see. It is happening here now.
Ability group school classrooms. “Inclusion” is BS. Schools are capable, students are capable, philosophical construct is unsustainable.
“Ability group school classrooms.” BINGO!!!!
So, we replace Americans with foreign workers and then Americans go on benefits. Then the foreign worker probably also gets aid and the only people making money at the employer. No more.
Great idea, Mark41.
Per Rep. Mike Collins on X
“The United States graduates over half a million STEM students per year. If there is an issue in the tech workforce, then we need to address it at the educational level, not import a problem away.”
If companies got rid of their DEI hiring policies and were willing to hire these people there wouldn’t be a shortage.
We already have 10’s of thousands of home grown scientists and engineers that were turned away from HR Departments.
The level of racism in the tech sector is obvious and massive. Elon and Vivek are calling for more.
As far as I am concerned, if you can’t point to a family member that served in the military, then GTFO. “Unskilled” Mexican and South American immigrants are a greater boon to this country than the Viveks and Elons of the world.
“The level of racism in tech sector is obvious and massive. Elon and Vivek are calling for more.”
President Trump has recited the poem “The Snake” 🐍 by Oscar Brown Jr. hundreds of times. I believe he knows exactly what he is doing.
I saved you,” cried the woman
“And you’ve bitten me, but why?
And you know your bite is poisonous and now I’m gonna die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in”
“Take me in, tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in, tender woman,” sighed the snake
Mark41:
What you say will definitely help, but precious few can complete an electrical engineering or computer engineering degree. Often they are taken simultaneously. I think something like 2% try it, half fail. Of the half that succeed, very few make it to the top-paying jobs like C++ embedded programing, FPGA programming, driver development, RTOS, or machine language programming.
I’m sure we need major league ballplayers too, but precious few can do that either.
What nobody is saying is that whoever wins AI will experience global hegemony similar to 1946 when America had the bomb. To do that, we have to recruit the best of the best on a global scale. Having said that, the H-1B visa program is not being used for that. It is being abused to hold down tech salaries.
Perhaps you have noticed an increase of Pakistani and Caribbean physicians. Why do you think that is? Do you think they are more qualified than U.S. physicians, or do you think someone is abusing the system.
Reading your comments as well as so many others, it appears to be a very complex issue. Some say we have an ample supply of citizens that can fill the technical needs, but corporations want cheap labor thus the H1B solution.
Just reading about our current school system, of the K-12 students only 40% can perform at grade level and for math and science that number is less. Also, out more elite universities seem to be gravitating toward DEI and possibly/probably not graduating as many high level technically performing students as needed. I sure don’t know, but it seems our whole educational system needs attention to create an environment that generates the technical expertise needed.
Also, there is a hierarchy of technical people needed I suspect. Programmers and code writers to scientists that create new technologies and many in between.
I also saw a suggestion for a tariff o 25% for a company hiring H1B people over a certain target. Don’t know if that’s a good solution or not, but it could possibly help.
So, it is a complex issue, I think, but IMO we need to start with our Education System which I think is a mess from bottom to top, but with a few exceptions.
Regarding foreign born physicians. The government takeover of our medical system (Obamacare) has driven many of the U.S. physicians out of the business. For the foreign born doctors, even that situation is an improvement over their home county’s system.
Has anyone noticed the slew of prime numbers comming up on The Presidential Thread in the last two weeks? 1427, 1429. and today, 1439.
We are primed. There are no coincidences.
When it comes to prime numbers…
Two can play this game 🙂
Lololol. You remind me so much of my dad and his brothers. Clever puns were their favorite pastime.
Thanks for using the word ‘clever’…
Clever puns are like schizophrenic steaks…
They’re rare when they’re well done 🙂
Oh, I say dear chap, rare done, rare done!
Exactly.
And one is the loneliest number…
HaHa!
But two can be as bad as one 🙂
It’s the loneliest number since the number one.
It’s just no good any more since you went away.
One divided by Love is not a single number
I was close
Wow, what a great flashback. Those guys could really sing. Great Band.
No, but I’ve noticed lots of new names that are intensely interested in promoting immigration and denigrating heritage America.
I agree. SD is over the target on X…..
I DEMAND Elon Musk reinstate Laura Loomer on X/Twitter. If that matters to anyone. We need MORE free speech and discussion about what happens to our country going forward. Not less.
Well now, I won’t demand anything of Musk, but I will suggest that if he and all the other “IT companies” want 160,000 more “qualified employees” by 2032, they should have been educating and training them themselves.
They could open a trade/training school for American citizens that focuses only on technology. Elon could easily start one now here in Austin Texas where he lives.
Perzactly!
Plus, they would be trained to exactly what he wants and requires.
If other industries need a specific sort of IT Trained person then the curriculum could be altered to meet those needs.
They want to pretend that it is too slow and cumbersome to replace foreigners with American citizens but we all know that they are BS-ing us or they are too incompetent to get the job done correctly.
Again, Perzactly!
All those companies requiring “qualified” IT workers could have started individual or “pooled” IT intensive “certified trade schools” to supply their needs years ago–but they did not–Why?
It matter to me and that Loomer is still banned is a huge “tell”, given Musk surely knows of her being banned.
So, is it reasonable to surmise and take away from this, that in Elon Musk world –
Some people are afforded more”free speech” than others. Who sometimes are allowed none at all.

Am done sorting thru the comments at the India article and found this one above…..
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/india-its-worse-you-think
And BB with a follow up
https://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2024/12/27/white-collar-migration-splits-trumps-maga/
That article is certainly an eye opener.
They make note of the same thing that Ticker Guy keeps pointing out, how much spending goes to “CMS”.
I take issue with a number of things. One is that Obamacare was “noble” and “well-intentioned”.
Yes, some of the architects of the plan may have had good intentions, and there were many Americans who were helped.
Otherwise, we already know what it really was.
The author seems to believe we can take Obamacare and tweak it a little and make it work better.
You can’t take a bad idea and make it good.
The “everybody needs coverage” concept is a bad idea.
No matter how much you polish, it,or try to pick it up by the clean end, a turd is still a turd, and I agree Obamscare can never be tweaked.
I disagree any of its architects had good intent.
I think it was designed to eventually fail, creating a crises that would then lead to Nationalised Healthcare.
Exactly, Dutchman!
Bingo. I also remember the old joke.
Looks like it.
Smells like it.
Tastes like it.
Sure glad I didn’t step in it.
We’re waiting…
Let’s hope he hasn’t changed his mind.

Jack Smith, every prosecutor, and anyone in the WH that coordinated the 91 charges against President Trump needs to be investigated for RICO Violations and more…
Some people are calling for “unity” and letting them get away with the crimes and prosecutorial misconduct. I firmly believe that would be a very big mistake. MAGA has always been against the Soros backed prosecutors inserted into so many of our cities. The prosecutors that refuse to punish criminals, let them out because of no cash bail laws, and are free to roam the streets to commit more crime.
If we don’t punish crimes, criminals flourish.
RICO is the way to go. Matt Colangelo (and Letitia James/Alvin Bragg/Merchan), Matt Graves, Lisa Monaco and Garland himself have a great deal to answer for. CONgress will do absolutely nothing about any of this so will it be on the AG and Kash Patel? (Not really sure Bondi has the spine for any of this)
Hoping Bondi surprises many.
After all, she had the “spine” to railroad an innocent man, for political expediency,
right?
PDJT said “No retribution, however if people clearly committed crimes, of coarse they should be prosecuted!” (paraphrasing).
That is my position, too.
Add Mathew Graves to the list
I believe T, that at the top of the coordinations and players involved it literally rises to the level of treasonous activity.
It’s all this junk and we know the ultimate penalty for the “T” word.

One wonders why we don’t do something about the very “root” of that problem. Is Soros being protected by somebody or something other than Satan?
Good. I hope they lie awake every night for at least the next four years on their sweat soaked pillows, wondering if today will be the day the flash bang grenades detonate in the foyer after the front door is knocked off the hinges by a concrete weighted steel battering ram..
Confused! the clip is Navarro on President Trump having been flat out lied to, by Fauci . ( I’ve always hoped that POTUS would tell the country that he was “flat out lied to” because he was, and if he did? It would afford him immeasurable additional amounts of political goodwill all while also supporting a foundational beginning to prosecutions of select individuals ( Fauci would be a terrific start ).
But! There’s no Julie Kelly article tweet re Jack Smith “lawyering up” etc?
“And again Trump got lied to about that, not just by Fauci, but by Pfizer…They didn’t disclose the side effects…They made him think that it was a true vaccine when it’s not.”
Where’s Julie Kelly?! 🙂
Apparently Gates is going MAL, perhaps President Trump can ask him about his role in the plandemic.
“President Trump can ask him about his role in the plandemic.”
Buddy Holly says that’ll be the day! 🙂
I must say I am very disappointed in Vivek and Elon.
I really thought this DOGE commission could accomplish a lot of good for the country. So did a lot of other very good and very serious people, such as Ron Paul, who were volunteering their assistance or information that would help the two government neophytes to a stellar job.
I thought it was a good use of Vivek’s talents, as he is a quick study, and with proper guidance, would not be able to do any harm.
Instead the two gentlemen (neither of whom are Christian, and that had previously been just fine with me) deciding to spend our holiday attacking Americans and telling LIES about the H1b system and foreign workers.
I no longer want Vivek in a position where he gets to decide which Americans should have their jobs eliminated.
Then there was the matter of the Continuing Resolution. Several hundred irate Honorables might just want his hide.
I’m not overly concerned.
I believe PDJT have both on a short leash and will reign it in if necessary.
Re-launch DOGE. More modest. No billionaires. I half believe Trump is ready to get rid of them anyway.
The tech billionaires decided this time to prey on Trump and not oppose him. F them.
Throw them out of Mara lago.
You’re making the assumption that either something negative will come from this or something positive won’t happen because of it. President Trump isn’t even in office yet. Let’s not blow things up over what seems like a seeded and managed attack on MAGA.
Agreed.
There is a lot more to this kerfuffle – it appears a Tech Workers Union started the entire thing and it’s all aimed not specifically against Musk, but more against those from India that are now advising President Trump. Not so much Vivic (although he stepped in it), but more specifically President Trumps new Advisor on A.I. —

A recap of the past few days:
A woman was burned alive by an illegal migrant on the NY Subway. The whole country was unified in its outrage. Everyone wants to seal the border and stop migrant crime.
Then the online conversation suddenly shifted to a non-existent threat of unlimited H1Bs by attacking a tech appointee who has never advocated for that position. His remit doesn’t even include immigration.
When I corrected the record, the lies just shifted, including to some nasty attacks that he wasn’t a U.S. citizen, and a false accusation that he contributed to Kamala Harris.
Hard to say what’s going on here, but it seems like a division grift if I’ve ever seen one.
————–
I think it might be wise to wait a bit and see what shakes out — I realize I’m in the minority here, but I actually have faith that President Trump knows what’s going on and is committed to MAGA. The Washington Post is chortling about the “war” between President Trump’s chosen Team and the MAGA supporters – like the Treehouse. – Justah
I don’t know who David Sacks is, but there is NO connection for me in talking about the horror on the subway and what Elon and Vivek INITIATED at Christmas.
No, my conversation didn’t “suddenly shift”; I have been posting from the tech workers union for some time now.
What I think is wise is to stay on top of these things and not allow someone to deter me by telling me I’m “falling” for a grift.
That’s the new “shut up”. They just put out a few posts about how the other side is happy about “dividing” us, and we have to just let it go.
No, thank you.
David Sachs is the guy that President Trump is putting in charge of crypto things.
He started to chime in, in defense of Vivek Ramaswamy (before Elon also joined the ‘conversation’) and saw how people were reacting to the crude description of Americans that Vivek had posted – and very smartly and quietly excused himself from the room/conversation.
^ Says a voice of reason.
Why did both Elon and Vivek feel the need to start this at Christmas?
Someone put the idea in their heads, both at once?
That’s the point, deep state trying to cause friction between team Trump. STAY UNITED!
Yes, the ongoing war in the Republican Party, is between the Country Club, Blue Blood, Cucumber sandwich eating Rockerfeller Republicant Elites, and us scruffnecked, MAGA git her done Deplorables, and that war is still being fought.
Don’t let us get distracted from that,..
So, are you saying Musk and Vivek are working for the Deep State, so I should ignore whatever they say?
They are both in this for power and influence. Neither gives a crap about the US. Musk wasn’t even born here – it’s just easier to get rich here and safer to be white here than his home country where white people are murdered daily for being white.
Vivek has always seemed like a grifter to me – he probably would have gone with the Democrats if he saw opportunity there.
Presidential Blanket pardons have happened before.
Proclamation 4483, also known as the Granting Pardon for Violations of the Selective Service Act, was a presidential proclamation issued by Jimmy Carter on January 21, 1977. It granted pardons to those who evaded the draft in the Vietnam War by violating the Military Selective Service Act from August 4, 1964, to March 28, 1973.[1] It was implemented through Executive Order 11967.[2]
What’s to prevent biteme from granting a pardon for 20 million invaders?
“pardon for 20 million invaders”
Been done, Reagan 1986 Immigration Control and Reform Act gave amnesty. It was supposed to also provide employer sanctions which has never been enforced. Any enforcement is always ignored, per Assistant US Attorney guidelines, they are way too busy for cheesy immigration stuff.
That involved congress.
Reagan signed the bill. The bill sponsor was RINO Allen Simpson, thanks Wyoming
Pardoning the invaders would not make them “legal”.
This is exactly it, they are telling us we do not see what we see.
In the mathematics department in which I am employed, we went 12 years without hiring a white male. Each year we hire one or two professors, but hiring committees are stacked with minorities and the policy of the college president was that three candidates should be nominated, unranked, and must include at least one minority. She believed that federal civil rights laws required her to choose the minority since all candidates were considered equally qualified, being unranked. In other words, the hiring policy was rigged so that it was impossible for a white male to be hired.
It is time to rid ourselves of affirmative action.
The SBA is a totally rigged gubt entity that especially discriminates especially against white males, then next against American citizens. This must end.

@GraduatedBen
I graduated into the Great Recession. Had a solid academic record, internships, some awards. But the job market was terrible. In the meantime I had worked construction for day laborer wages.
It took about a year for me to finally snag a salaried job. Was in a different field but at that point I just wanted to not be carrying shingles up a 40 ft ladder over a concrete pad.
The job I landed was for an IT firm. 40k/year before taxes and the newly mandatory health insurance. But it seemed like a decent start.
I was hired along with some other recent grads, as I would find out later, because we were more accommodating to the psychotic managers. A month after I started, Chuck joined the program. We shared an office, along with 6 other people jammed in there. We were deskmates.
Chuck was a boomer. He was around retirement age but still spry and sharp and he needed the work.
His wife had cancer and was a couple years younger than him, so she wasn’t eligible for Medicare, and Medicaid in my state was too barebones to get good cancer treatment.
Chuck was the nicest guy. Very kind and considerate. He was diligent with his work and very earnest and focused with everything he did.
He would call his wife on every break. He treated her like a queen. He was proud that he was able to provide for her.
He wasn’t a total digital native, but he was decent with a computer, honest, and totally committed to doing great work.
His work product was better than the average person I worked with. We had H1B people who would straight up lie about the work they didn’t do but claimed they did. My job was basically to clean up the mistakes of an Indian woman who made twice what I did but half of her assignments were not even done (though she claimed they were) and the other half were incomprehensible nonsense.
But my manager got into his head that Chuck was too old.
He would make fun of him behind his back and just sort of wrote him off – not because of his work, but because of his demeanor.
Chuck never had a real shot.
One day, HR sent an email to those of us who worked in that office to come to the meeting room.
All but Chuck.
We got to the conference room and were told to just stay put.
When we came back, Chuck was gone and his desk was bare.
He was let go for being a boomer.
He was never given the chance to say goodbye to any of us or to swap contact info. I wish he had because I would have liked to stay in touch.
That was probably the end of his career. No watch or retirement ceremony. Just told that he was obsolete and thrown out into the cold.
This is the sort of thing that was rejected at the ballot box. We aren’t resentful communists. We don’t want to burden business with nonsense regulations and bureaucracy. But we have had enough of the abuse and disrespect that has been heaped upon decent Americans by capricious managers, executives, and politicians who violate the social contract on the slightest whim.

I read the article that Aggiegirl posted. It is a real eye opener about the mindset of the folks these tech companies bring in and want more of. To say it is a “culture clash” is putting it mildly. In case anyone missed it, here it is again. The man who wrote the article is from India. He understands the mentality of getting away with doing very little and lying about it.
“India: It’s Worse Than You Think”
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/india-its-worse-you-think
MAGA = Make America(ns) Great Again.
When you see your friends in high-tech—who happen to be white—being openly discriminated against by Indian managers, it’s hard not to feel angry. This isn’t just perception; it’s a real issue. Vivek struck a nerve because he articulated a mindset that many have observed: the belief that white employees are lazy and lack the same work ethic as Indian engineers. This stereotype, often attributed to upbringing, is both unfair and untrue.
In my experience, I’ve worked with outstanding engineers from all backgrounds. But I’ve also encountered Indian managers who discriminate against whites and Asians. Interestingly, I haven’t noticed the same pattern among Asian managers favoring their own group. This seems to be more of a cultural tendency within certain Indian management circles.
That said, there are countless white parents who instill values and discipline just as effectively as Indian or Asian parents. Similarly, there are many Indian managers who treat everyone fairly and without bias. However, it’s undeniable that a problem exists. This is the uncomfortable truth Vivek stumbled upon, and his inability to recognize its nuance speaks volumes.
Hubris? at being next to the most powerful man on the planet?
Indian culture has always been ruled by a caste system. You are literally born into your station in society, and expected to remain there. Indian managers consider themselves to be “upper caste.” Those Indians who work for them are “middle caste.” And the Americans are “lowest caste.”
But, an Indian will happily work for less wages, and to the American capitalists this is the only thing that matters.
I find it crazy that India isn’t shunned for their caste system.
Imagine being white and having a society like that.
Uhh ask the light skinned Tamil Brahman, you know, the caste Kamala’s family hails from, how they feel about it..
Many of those Indians, or other foreign laborers, who work here on visas for less money, are also getting government benefits that Americans aren’t entitled to that make up the difference. Would they “happily” work for low wages if they didn’t have the extra perks that make up the difference? Or does housing 20 people in an apartment have to be the new norm? (Remember Dr. Zhivago, as he comes back home from the war to find that the Communists have forced his family to take in like 20 other people?)
Look at the Haitians hired as “temp workers” in Springfield, OH. There were govt perks to the employers who hired them, including paying out lower wages, and to the landlords that housed them. They made out fine — but rents and mortgages skyrocketed as landlords vied for the govt vouchers that were much higher than locals could afford. Many locals were evicted or displaced by sudden rent increases as a result. A once-affordable town was now only affordable to the new influx of Haitians.
And although they were paid less and worked like a 32-hr week, they also received govt perks like housing vouchers, free healthcare, and other benefits that made up the difference. Local residents said they tried applying for those jobs, but were turned away. And even if they had gotten a 32-hr a week job with those low wages, 32 hrs is considered the limit for part time status, which excuses the employer from providing benefits. And they would not be entitled to the govt benefits given to the Haitians. Plus, they would probably be the “working poor” who are making just enough to not qualify for govt benefits. How is this “America First”??
Yes. That has been my point as well.
The companies rake in the profits from cheap labor while the US taxpayer is on the hook for paying for that “cheap labor” via the government subsidies they receive.
Capitalist is a Marxist word.
This is true.
I know a 1st generation immigrant Indian who speaks English only. Even he is shunned by the imports.
The imported Indians go out to lunch and speak their native language. If you can do this, you are in “the club.”
I had a buddy who was a senior manager of six engineers. One of his engineers, an Indian, had a bad job performance profile, came in late, and missed too many days. My buddy gave him the lowest performance review in his group. Instead of going to the White Human Resources Manager, or the White Senior Director above my buddy, he went directly to the Senior Vice President who was Indian. The Senior Vice President called my buddy on the carpet for his review. My buddy told him he was wildly overstepping his job description. Seeing the writing on the wall, the Senior Director took a job as Vice President at a nearby competitor. The Indian Senior Vice President actually threatened to call the company he was going to and blackball him. Can you imagine? My buddy followed his ex-boss to the new company. He had to. Whitey was not welcome at his old company. There are many such stories.
It has gotten so bad that whites and southeast Asians tend to form cliques in opposition to South Asians.
I’m glad I’m two years from finishing. While still in this field I do what I can to fix it.
But diversity is our strength
Indians are very biased against whites and don’t get them started on blacks.
Why Communism Is So Deadly (15:07)
New Discourses
26 Dec 2024
We all know Communism is perhaps the world’s deadliest ideology, but what makes it that way? As it turns out, there’s a simple reason Communism leads to mass murder, starvation, and death, and it’s this: Communists believe Communism can never be wrong. What this amounts to in practice is that when Communist programs start to fail, it cannot be that they were bad ideas in the first place. It can only be that someone failed to do them right, and, as it always happens, that hidden enemies are causing the problems. The result of this self-aggrandizing and paranoid belief is always a witch hunt and violent purge of the people who get scapegoated for the Communist failures. In this important episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this catastrophic feature (not bug) of Communism.
I would like to add, “Because everyone is scared of making a mistake.” Russia was a grain exporter before Lenin; three years later, it was a grain importer. The crops were harvested and loaded onto railroad cars, where they rotted. Whoever tried to move the trains was accused of stealing the grain because no one above them was brave enough to approve moving them.
Then there is the part about severe oppression and ultimately mass murder of productive farmers.
I urge everyone to look at the release of the Hunter, Joe and Xi Jinping. There’s one photo that clearly indicates the time narrative. Hunter Biden was alone with Xi for some period of time. He put his left arm on Xi’s back with open stance to introduce an incoming Joe Biden and another fella. Hunter wasn’t introduced to Xi by Joe Biden as his son. Joe was being introduced to Xi by Hunter. Hunter was meeting privately with the leadership of Communist China. A picture tells a thousands words and can also tell you something of the past, present and potential future.
…Chinese control and US political corruption at the highest possible level
We already give Canadian and Mexican professionals visa preference under NAFTA. All they need is a degree, credential and job offer. So, they are telling me that the whole of North America cannot provide enough software engineering folks?
Work in the U.S. with a NAFTA visa | USAGov
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) professional visaOnly citizens of Canada and Mexico are eligible for a nonimmigrant NAFTA professional (TN) visa. It grants the holder temporary entry into the United States for business at a professional level.
In general, I’d say that the overall quality of engineering has been diminished by the rampant use of H1b. You don’t get quality on the cheap.
Remember back in 2019, when Boeing, once the gold standard of plane manufacturing and design, was suddenly having major crashes? They are now a joke for having doors fly off commercial airliners, and stranding 2 astronauts for months in the space station — who are still waiting for a lift in Feb from one of Elon’s Space X shuttles.
It all began when the bottom line was more important than quality control and safety, and they outsourced everything. Sadly, every generation has greedy business owners who cut corners by exploiting cheap labor, whether it’s slaves, Ellis Island sweatshop workers, migrant workers, H1bs, etc. Turns out, those $9/hr. Indian engineers weren’t such a bargain after all:

PSYOP or a fk-up by two “geniuses”? Which is it?
https://x.com/MeInTheMitten/status/1872646868657955311
A discussion. It’s a DISCUSSION… are we really incapable of doing that anymore? The freak out just makes us look stupid.
Who is us?
This is more than a discussion… it is a visceral response to a long standing and bloody wound. Many of us suffered because of H1Bs and it has only become worse over time.
I’d like an explanation as two why these two gentlemen, both at the same time, decided that the Christmas holiday was a good time to start attacking the American worker, and falsely conflating H1b workers with the best and the brightest the world has to offer.
Maybe it’s just me, but that seems way outside their purview
It is very strange timing, to say the least.

I am grateful to the United States for a strong step in support of the Georgian people and our entire region—the sanctions against Bidzina Ivanishvili.
Ivanishvili is the de facto ruler in Tbilisi today and is doing everything to hand Georgia over to Putin’s control.
The loss of any country in our region, the destruction of democracy for one nation, and the spread of criminal Russian influence pose a threat to the entire region and all its peoples.
Ukraine has already implemented a full set of sanctions against Ivanishvili and key figures in his mafia group.
Now, another decisive action—America’s strong sanctions.
We call on all European partners and all global partners who value normal life and the freedom of nations to impose similar sanctions against Ivanishvili, so he understands the price of destroying his country’s independence and humiliating the Georgian people.
We believe that no mafia will be able to steal the Georgian people’s dream of living freely within the family of free nations, within the European community.

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke today with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha to discuss battlefield updates and the United States’ support for Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s aggression.
They discussed Russia’s brutal missile and drone attacks and the assistance the United States and our partners are surging in response to these attacks.

North Koreans launching ‘human wave’ attacks against Ukrainian positions in Kursk
North Korea is suffering “heavy casualties,” John Kirby told reporters.
[…]Kirby said that North Korean units were launching “massed dismounted assaults” against Ukrainian positions in Kursk, indicating that the North Korean troops are largely fighting on foot.
[…]the soldiers are “highly indoctrinated, pushing attacks even when it is clear that those attacks are futile.”
[…]They are also dying by suicide, potentially out of fear of reprisals against their families if they are captured as prisoners of war, he noted.
[…]Kirby’s comments are the latest showing that North Korean troops are actively being deployed by Russia against Ukraine
[…]South Korea’s spy agency estimates that at least 11,000 North Korean troops were sent to Russia and that casualties — which include both dead and injured soldiers — number in the thousands.
[…]“I hope they’re loading up their commanders with a bunch of body bags, because they’re clearly going to need them.”

US to send $1.25 billion in weapons to Ukraine, pushing to get aid out before Biden leaves office
The United States is expected to announce that it will send $1.25 billion in military assistance to Ukraine, U.S. officials said Friday, as the Biden administration pushes to get as much aid to Kyiv as possible before leaving office on Jan. 20.
The large package of aid includes a significant amount of munitions, including for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and the HAWK air defense system.
It also will provide Stinger missiles and 155 mm- and 105 mm artillery rounds, officials said.
The officials, who said they expect the announcement to be made on Monday,
[…]Moscow has sent thousands of North Korean troops to help reclaim territory taken by Ukraine.
[…]Earlier this month, senior defense officials acknowledged that that the Defense Department may not be able to send all of the remaining $5.6 billion in Pentagon weapons and equipment stocks passed by Congress for Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in.

Kirby’s mouth is moving. Hence, he’s lying.
I don’t believe one word that pervert liar says.
Well since the Ukies openly shot surrendering Russians in the head, they wouldn’t do much better in their hands.
This is a good point by Jordan. We do subsidize the schools that give preference to the foreign students.
Exactly! The Universities charge more for foreign students so they give them preference AND their endowment funds receive substantial gifts from foreign countries looking to increase the number of their citizens who will be accepted…but we, the American taxpayers are often subsidizing the university system, rather than forcing them to spend down their huge funds!
(To add insult to injury, once the foreign student graduates, they are often able to to get work with a US company, leading to a green card, which leads to the chain migration of their family, who is then AGAIN, subsidized by the American taxpayer, in the form of SSI and Medicaid, since most of the family members do not speak, or have any interest in learning, English!)
Sounds like a racket, a selling green cards racket.
Yes, it’s bribery by foreign countries, adversarial countries.
“Higher tuition rates, endowment funds, and “gifts” from foreign countries” are the equivalent of bribing your favorite politician or bureaucrat.
Everyone is making money off of selling their portion of the USA to foreigners.
Every thing in this country is for sale to the highest bidder.
F1 student visas are the best scam around for affluent foreigners. Send your kid to the US, he skates for a decade until he can find a gullible American girl and get a spousal visa. Divorce soon follows.
Interesting note: Last night I was watching a YouTube clip of the 2015 house hearing on Benghazi with Jim Jordan grilling Hillary on the phony claim a video sparked the attacks. Jordan noted Victoria Nuland, as Hillary’s spokesperson for the state department at the time. (I didn’t remember this!). After the attacks began, Victoria made no mention of a video, but stated it was Al Queda types stirring things up.
After Trump went on to beat the pantsuit off of Hilly in 2016, it’s likely that Victoria, seething with hatred for our Donald, and was eager to play a role in the whole the Ukrainian hoax.
With Clintonista’s, it’s always the three P’s – Personal, Petty, and Payback. They run thick as thieves.
I wasn’t irate with what Musk said because after all, he does own a tech company and would know about the quality of “professionals” out there. My ire arose reading ‘Sammy Sock Salesman’ Vivek’s response. He doesn’t own a tech company and his choice of words on how the American people are failing at raising and educating their kids, although true, could have been put a little less blunty while jamming people of his own race down our throats. It’s a shame responders made their responses about race because I dare say, if Price Harry or Prince Phillip had come on and made the same comments about how superior British people were over Americans, I would think the responses would have been just as lethal.
The timing of these “insights” couldn’t have been worse. The United States is still overrun with millions of illegal immigrants who have sucked up every ounce and dollar of government help, not to mention housing as we wonder about how many and how long it will take to get rid of them, AND…. Trump hasn’t even taken office yet! Can we say “BAD TIMING?” Talk about pouring salt in a gaping, bleeding wound!
Musk does know, but he also knows H1b is not about getting the cream of the crop.
Elon is a liar. He owns a tech company where? India or the US? Why not India? Go build your rockets in India, Elon. Go scoop up the endless sea of worthless Indian tech. No one asked him to move here and no one will stop him from moving to India. And take Vivek with you. Oh wait…why didn’t the Ramaswamy clan stat in India? What a great culture. Why leave?
I wish more people would use common sense. If india is the great culture that produces all these highly talented stem people why aren’t they ruling the world? Or at least have a working sewage system?
Stop believing the lies.
They choose to remain in the USA because they are able to game the system: import indentured slaves, cram 20 of them into tiny apartments, let the local and federal governments (ie, the taxpayers) subsidize their living, and then pay their Board of Directors massive bonuses and pay.
If Indians were so great then they could move their businesses to India and wheedle some concessions from the Indian government for tax breaks and pay scale breaks. But they don’t. They want to suck the best out of the USA while giving the American citizens the worst.
Why did Musk flee SA? He’s here because it’s a safer place for his money and his white skin, but he has nothing but contempt for the people who built this country and defend it.
America-First means we want America to WIN. Playing for second place doesn’t cut it.
RIP DOGE.
Will be interesting to see how quickly Vivek turns on Trump now that he is no longer a “rock star”. Inside MAGA, his corpse is redioactive.
I was enjoying the Hall of Justice meme myth with Trump as Superman, Elon Batman, Tulsi as Wonder woman etc all saving America. And even then Vivek was a wonder twin at best.
How did they go from eliminating waste in government to shilling for more h1bs?
I would love to be sitting in on those discussions that PDJT is having with the “America (but not Americans) First” crowd.
For clarification: America First means that Americans Win. America=Americans. One is not exclusive of the other.
The Columbia Bugle
@ColumbiaBugle
Tons of American citizens are realizing that our entire legal immigration system is a scam designed to dispossess them.
Meanwhile, legions of spiritual and actual foreigners are crying and calling us names and going mask-off with their replacement rhetoric.
We’re going to win.

I’ve been hearing about the shortage of and the need for quality IT personnel in the IT industry for over 10-15 years.
So I’m interested in knowing when Google, Facebook, Musk, Amazon, Intel, Microsoft, Apple, and etc started their own IT training business schools. Anyone know the names of these “IT trade schools” and how their graduates fair in the industry? They must be far in advance of the “lousy” public schools and colleges by now, yes?
Wait, did they not start any schools of their own with their own funding? Why not?
And if I might ask–If they are all successful in creating various renditions of a real AI, won’t that put all these desperately needed IT workers out of a job?
Just curious.
My buddy that writes code says he sets the parameters and AI writes the code now, he just has to check it afterward..
I know very little in this arena but it sounds like what you describe is already happening..
Genuinely curious: Are there actual instances where qualified native born Americans couldn’t get jobs in tech because foreigners took all of them?
It’s all right there. What does Trump have to say? What will he do?
We’re about to see if Trump actually cares about Americans, not just America winning at all costs to its citizen’s detriment. He hasn’t said anything against his allies Vivek and Elon yet.
My guess is that they are “discussing” the matter and how Musk and Ramaswamy can backpedal on their statements. My hope is that they will be announcing the “Ramaswamy-Musk School of Americans Only IT” by Monday.
That could be why he’s saying “we miss you and x”, he could be calling Musk out on the carpet.
I have found if one waits and watches …….over time others will show their true colors……
often it is just best to wait and see.
While we wait…maybe someone could look into the hospitals who hire foreign nationals for (lower paid?) ‘nursing internships’? And not hiring American nurses? Some of those foreign nurses get housing provided in exchange for the lower wages.
WISE WORDS
Patience like common sense is not a virtue anymore….
Dr. McCullough has noticed.
Another reason not to talk about the faux vax harmed – it is crimes against humanity – of which the USA is culpable through the mishandling by our “representatives” in government.
We have a three-fold liability, the funding of its creation; its release; and its “treatment”… or lack thereof.

Treepers- I have no idea if this article posted on Liberty Daily has credence or not, but there are many here who would know and would ask that you comment accordingly. Thx.
FTA: High Levels of Radiation Detected Across the East Coast After Mysterious Drone Sightings
According to GQ Electronics’ Geiger Counter World Map, high emissions levels were detected near the Bronx and the Upper West Side of New York City. The radiation reading scale measured 1048 counts-per-minute (CPM), or the number of particles detected. This exceeds the average number of particles detected by the 200 counts-per-minute safety threshold. In comparison, the average person is usually exposed to background radiation that measures about five to 60 CPM.

The article did not link the referenced map, or any supporting data, which I always want to see.

January 6 Political Prisoners Launch Historic $50 Billion Class Action Lawsuit Against DOJ

God bless the J6’ers, Patience, but I want the perpetrators to PAY the price; not the American voter. We’ve been paying for the bad actors’ legal hostilities for way too long!
Is this true? 🤔
I don’t know.
But I believe that POTUS as CiC relinquished the office of the Presidency and using X/O’s and Continuity of Government protocols, he stepped down; but not before turning the reins of power over to an elite faction of U.S. Military who have been in control using CoG ever since. Letting this all play out giving POTUS not only the support of a majority pf the populace, all while removing the criminal class political embeds, in government – step-by-step and one by one. 🙂
Yes, that inaugural ceremony was “faked” as was the Arlington National Cemetary Presidential Salute that always had been fired at presidential inauguration.
They gave “Biden” a funereal salute.
All kinds of stuff been faked. Like the entire Faux Stepford Biden House of Cards TV show.

But they don’t want Trudeau

That’s why he says he’s headed to Mar-a-lago”
An excellent in depth article that details the ongoing fight within the Republican Party, in this case in Michigan, but emblematic of the fight going on across the country, at todays TGP.
“Battle for control of Michigan GOP between activists, donors and elites,…”.
Highly reccomend, as this battle in Michigan has been going on for several years now.
This article neatly lays out exactly what MAGA is encountering, as it fights to wrest control of the State Republican Party away from the RINO, blue blood elitists; its the same in most States, probably yours!
And you need to come out of the bleachers, and suit up!
This may have been up before.
“A group of kids” ages 12-14 tried to rob a man at gunpoint yesterday in Houston & instantly found out that TX men carry.

Those hood rats found out. Those bullets are hot, baby!
Excellent top featured Breitbart article about the H1B issue, and the current firestorm. I have to say that Breitbart has been sounding the alarm about H1B, immigration, and outsourcing displacing American workers for many years. Glad this is finally getting the coverage it deserves — hopefully big enough that President Trump will have to address it.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/12/27/trump-supporters-push-back-after-president-elect-appoints-adviser-who-wants-h-1b-expansion-tech-wants-indentured-servants/
Yes. If you are unfamiliar with tech, racism is rampant and in full view. Same play as UK.
It really has nothing to do with what tv shows middle-aged people watched 30 years ago.
We have an ample amount of lawsuits proving that major corporations discriminated against Americans and wouldn’t hire them.
Also, Vivek is behind the times. As a boomer, I can attest to the stereotypes he points out when I was growing up — like Jerry Lewis in The Nutty Professor. But those days left a long time ago.
The advent of home computers and video games made tech something that kids became interested in. People like Dean Kamen ignited a huge interest in tech with his robotics tournaments in the schools. The Big Bang Theory sitcom, which started in 2007, made being a smart nerd a hip thing, and a lot of fun. PBS Kids has all kinds of kids cartoons that promote the smart kids as heroes who save the day with some techy solution. STEM classes have been big for a long time in public schools, and Cleveland has had a big push for girls in STEM. The film Hidden Figures created a new interest in the brilliant black women who were at the heart of NASA’s space program. Spielberg championed the nerdy and brainy kids in his films — especially films like ET, with Elliot outsmarting the Deep State and NASA to save his little outer space friend. Even the Marvel/Avengers movies showed cool tech guys like Tony Stark/Iron Man.
Just saying, Vivek sounds like an outsider who may have felt marginalized by whatever TV and media he grew up on at the time. But I remember a time when Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were considered mavericks who challenged the norm, and became the subject of the interesting biopic, The Pirates of Silicone Valley.
There’s a bait and switch that keeps happening where on the hand we’re referencing “extremely talented” engineers we need to build rocket ships, but then the policy question hinges on a glut of replacement level talent who are shipped-in to max-out ad click through rates
Hard pass…
Me too Mr. Piddles. I’ve stopped reading anything I think will be upsetting to me. No need in killing myself with that Fauci runt’s barbaric treatment of cats.
The agency has been running drugs into this country and around the world since its inception in the late 1940’s perfecting it just before and during the Viet Nam era with Laos and Cambodia ( aka the Golden Triangle ). They put dope in caskets with dead soldiers. That’s even been depicted in Hollywood movies
They don’t just steal their money for their black budget off the books ops. They “earn” some of it too.
By running drugs. They ARE “the cartel”.
There is no civil war in MAGA. Our tent is huge, with a big beautiful tent flap, through which we quickly kick you out of the tent when you show us that do not get, and you are not MAGA. Period.
Vivek is a nobody. Musk has some chops and may escape being booed. If either helped to get DJT elected (not clear at all to me) then thanks and nice knowing ya.
Trump should get that Goya (ex?) CEO to run DOGE. Now that will actually impact votes.

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country… We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of… In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons… who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” – Edward L. Bernays in his classic text “Propaganda” – 1928

January 6th prisoners file historic $50B class action lawsuit against the DOJ. What needs to happen is to use the same approach DOJ used to funnel money to liberal/green new deal entities that sued the government. The new DOJ after 1/20 needs to admit the lawsuit is valid and settle with these political prisoners. Then fire every DOJ attorney and employee that participated in any prosecution.

They should seize the retirement packages for everyone involved and put that toward the settlement..
And another one, another one,…
Another one bites the dust!
A second Democrat Florida State legislator has announced she is flipping to Republican.
That makes at least 8 State Legisltors, nationwide, including in Cal. and the Mayor of Dallas, Texas.
Guaranteed, if even one Republican officeholder flipped to Democrat, it would be front page news, as it should be and has been in the past (any politician switching parties is a big f’ing deal!).
The Legacy media is Memory holing it, BECAUSE its a big deal, and tangible evidence of how the Democrat party is imploding…
H-1B is a worker replacement program.
Unthinkable: California Judge Orders Rape Victims
to Use Their Rapist’s Preferred Fake Pronouns:
Ace: “The final stage of KGB-stule demoralization is the overt humiliation of the disfavored classes so that they understand they are powerless and voiceless.”
The #FakeMaderaCountyJudge should be charged with Witness Tampering. He is forcing these female inmate victims to testify falsely that they were raped by a woman when they know they were raped by a man.
Gavin Newsom should also be charged with Facilitating Rape Under Color of Law for putting rapists in jail with women at his State-Run Rape Camps.
Judge is a total joke
The plot thickens. Maybe I’m late to the party, but I didn’t know that Elon came here as an H1B. That explains Elon’s position, and might be coloring PT’s thinking, when he talks about bringing in foreign rocket scientists to build up America. This AP article (albeit with a leftist slant) does show a decided double-mindedness sometimes in how PT views things:
Born in South Africa, Musk was once on an a H-1B visa himself and defended the industry’s need to bring in foreign workers…
Trump’s businesses, however, have hired foreign workers, including waiters and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago club, and his social media company behind his Truth Social app has used the the H-1B program for highly skilled workers.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/online-debate-over-foreign-workers-184220422.html?.tsrc=daily_mail&segment_id=DY_VTO_CLICKER_T1&ncid=crm_30542-1501460-20241227-0&bt_user_id=1OlbWs%2BJyITxyIC564EfzLgQ%2FPgDpGMujyOPYUrWpBL9McjqU8qfKIGZsNrzhvFl&bt_ts=1735341653599
That’s a nice dodge by Elon.
He didn’t jump the great divide because he used the term “domestic expertise”. That alone IMO, negates the dodge.
In other words “housekeepers”, nannies, landscapers, gardeners…..probably the only things the RICH can’t live without. You don’t need much education to be accomplished at any of those jobs. I volunteer to be his housekeeper if he will do us all the favor of not jumping around everytime he’s on stage with President Trump. He looks like a nut when he does that. JMHO.
I did some digging, and for all of Vivek and Elon’s talk about the superiority of H1bs in tech, here’s the dirty little secret:
A few years ago, Narayan Murthy commented on the flaws of the country’s learning system, “Engineering colleges in India are churning out only 25 % quality engineers and nearly 80-85 % of youngsters are not suitably trained for any job”.
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-indian-engineers-unemployable-whats-solutions-harshad-shah-atfqf
Another article from the Times of India reads: Over 80% Indian engineers are unemployable, lack new-age technology skills: Report
These are assessments from Indian sources, not Americans. Sounds like they have a surplus of engineering grads that aren’t worth hiring. So much for the superior quality of foreign labor.
