Original Article

The Trump administration is drastically reducing the length of time for foreigners’ work permits within the USA. Now it’s time to end the H-1B visa program. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) posted a Wall Street Journal article on Friday, announcing the change to work permit duration. This is the latest in a string of immigration reforms enacted by the Trump administration following the shooting of two National Guardsmen in D.C. just before Thanksgiving by an Afghan illegal. USCIS Director Joe Edlow said that the purpose of the reduction is to ensure the federal government can re-vet and reassess foreign workers more often.

A good start. Now limit H1Bs to 10 per company.

The impetus to give them 10 years, 5 years, whatever ...was.... "Because of court backlogs", backlogs that were intentionally created by allowing people to cross over then requests a hearing before an actual "Judge" but the cases could only be heard by "Immigration" Judges, and the cut the funding for Immigration Judges near the border, while expanding their number and allocations nearly 10 fold...Inland... opening several courts in nearly every state, then flying border crosser s to what ever state they chose...giving them housing and food, etc...until their hearing, often their 2nd, or even 3rd hearing. There are hundreds of immigration judges now, but some only hear a dozen or so cases per year, many 100 cases or less, while some hear over 1000cases per year. Collectively they REJECT over 85% of all claims, but some judges accept 90-100% of all claims. Trump has ordered JAG military judges to pick up some of the slack, and is putting pressure on regular immigration court judges to step up their game and hear a reasonable number of cases to justify their continued employment, or be fired, or retired. As well as initiating oversight as to how so many cases are allowed in when the rubric for doing so is NOT fulfilled. Priot to Clinton, when "Migrants" were in 1st "Contact" with any immigration/border official, they were read 9 questions(or less), from a simple note card similar to a Miranda Card, any wrong answer and they were immediately returned to the other side, whether that was at a Port of Entry, the side of a road, the middle of a field, or in a jailhouse. ACLU/LULAC/La RAZA all sued to force those questions to be asked in front of an actual Judge instead.In some big states, and even cities, there are several Immigration Courts, some of which have 20 judges...in the same court building there will be judges that hear 1200cases per year,, and other judges that hear 12 cases a year...Some judges that reject 95% off all claims, and others that approve 95%. It does not pass the "Smell test" when the actual "Crack in the Laws" that allow some to remain is very, verrrrry, narrow.

Companies take advantage of every opportunity to shave money off their costs. I lost my job to an H1-B visa worker, but while I was looking for a new job, I met the love of my life, who I would never have met if I had been working. Also, I ended up crossing off a couple of bucket list items before I landed one of my best jobs ever.

The Trump administration scored a solid win on Friday with an appellate court ruling in Harris v. Bessent and Wilcox v. Trump (combined on appeal). Among the multitude of cases filed against President Trump and/or his administration since he returned to the Oval Office are a handful of matters challenging his authority to remove independent agency leaders from their various positions. We've seen multiple of these cases wend their way up the chain, with several landing before the Supreme Court, including both Harris and Wilcox, although Friday's ruling comes not from the high court, but from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Left has come to the defense of the Minnesota Somali community because, despite the crime and massive fraud of taxpayer dollars, Democrats insist Somalis are part of the "fabric" of the state. It's another example in a long line of Leftists going to bat for some of the worst actors out there, instead of their victims. Not only have Somalis been busted for raping multiple women and girls, but the Medicare fraud also led to the death of at least one innocent Minnesota man. But that doesn't matter to Democrats. They want Somalis here and don't care about the consequences.

The shooting of two National Guard members in Washington last week has taken a jarring new turn, and the emerging theory about the gunman’s motive points to a far deeper national security threat. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the 29-year-old Afghan national accused of killing Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounding Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, had served alongside U.S. forces in Afghanistan before Joe Biden’s botched withdrawal. If you’ve been wondering why someone who once helped American troops would suddenly target National Guardsmen, you’re not the only one asking that question. Federal investigators now believe the Taliban may have blackmailed Lakanwal into carrying out the attack.

Alokozay is accused of making explicit threats in a video shared across multiple social media platforms, including X, Facebook, and TikTok. The threats, made just days before the attack on the National Guard in Washington, D.C., were previously reported by RedState's Teri Christoph, who described the incident as a "chilling near-miss."

Andrew Wolfe, the young National Guardsman who was injured in last Wednesday’s attack by an Afghan migrant that killed Sarah Beckstrom, is slowly but surely healing. Wolfe’s parents have made a point of telling people not to donate money but to focus on praying for the young man’s full recovery. And those prayers are having an effect, as Wolfe has responded more than once to stimuli, according to an update from West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey. Morrisey has been providing updates on Wolfe’s condition since the young guardsman is from West Virginia. “What I will say is that Andrew remains in serious condition,” Morrisey stated.

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that his administration is resetting Biden-era Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards that increased car prices. Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the reset in the Oval Office while flanked by Republican lawmakers and auto industry leaders. “We’re officially terminating Joe Biden’s ridiculously burdensome, horrible, actually, CAFE standards that impose expensive restrictions and all sorts of problems to auto makers,” Trump said. The president noted that the CAFE standards imposed by the previous administration impacted both domestic and foreign manufacturers making cars for the American market and, in turn, consumers.

Harris, 36, was stopped on November 16 at Naha Airport on Okinawa island after a customs officer discovered 0.78 grams of crystal containing the synthetic narcotic MDMA in his tote bag, an Okinawa Regional Customs spokesperson said. He was immediately arrested on suspicion of violating Japan's Narcotics and Psychotropics Control Act.

Hoo boy. Sometimes, you might do something so embarrassing, so humiliating, that you want to hide in the closet. The prestigious science journal Nature may be thinking about doing that right about now, because on Wednesday, they officially retracted an influential 2024 climate report that predicted gloom and doom, death and misery, and impending economic catastrophe. As is the case with so much of the leftist climate narrative, their wild claims were quite simply unproven: In April 2024, the prestigious journal Nature released a study finding that climate change would cause far more economic damage by the end of the century than previous estimates had suggested.

An estimated 80,000 people gathered at a sports stadium in the southeastern province of Khost to witness the horrific spectacle, condemned by the UN as “inhuman and cruel”. The convicted murderer, called Mangal, and two others had been found guilty of killing 13 members of the teenager’s family, including several children and women. The killer was sentenced to ‘Qisas’ - a retaliation punishment under Sharia law similar to the Biblical principle of ‘an eye for an eye’. The Supreme Court said
