Our New Ungracious Immigrants

Silicon Valley was energized by legal immigrants from all over the world who founded ebay, Google, Nvidia, Space, Stripe, Sun Microsystems, Tesla, Yahoo, and a host of others. The Greek American Elia Kazan's 1963 film "America, America" is a fictional account based on the Herculean struggle of the director's uncle to immigrate to the United States from an impoverished and hostile Anatolia. The film summed up Americans' traditional view of immigrants: They had risked everything for the chance to reach America, and, once there, became hyperpatriotic in their gratitude for the magnanimity of their new hosts.

As I have reported for months, the Trump Department of Justice is having a hell of a time securing criminal indictments from D.C.-based grand juries. (snip) Which is why the issuance of two grand jury subpoenas in January related to the DOJ's investigation into the Federal Reserve represented a major score for Jeanine Pirro (snip.) According to a filing by Pirro's office, Powell's personal attorney (snip) suggested to (Pirro) that Chair Powell would step down from the board when his term as Chairman expires -- but only if the subpoenas were withdrawn and the chair was no longer under investigation (snip.)

From Trump Because They Opposed His Policies,
Memo Says 8 replies
Analysts inside the U.S. intelligence community sought to conceal evidence of Chinese influence efforts from President Donald Trump during the 2020 election, with analysts saying they didn't want their intel used by "that vulgarian in the Oval Office" to pursue policies toward China they personally disagreed with. The revelation is found within a January 2021 report written by (snip) analytic ombudsman Barry Zulauf, who conducted a review of the spy community's handling of Russian versus Chinese meddling efforts during the 2020 election. Among his conclusions is that intelligence analysts downplayed China's actions (snip.)

Judge Lawrence VanDyke pre-emptively nuked corporate-media pearl-clutching in his recent dissent from a Ninth Circuit decision forcing a nude, female-only Korean spa frequented by minors to admit men in the name of "trans rights." "Squirm as we might, I think it only fair for our court to have a small taste of its own medicine," VanDyke wrote. "Sometimes 'dignified' words are employed to mask a legal abomination." (snip) Twenty-nine federal judges left the underlying decision untouched while complaining about VanDyke vividly attacking it.

For it is not simply that basic laws against criminals are not enforced while the state imposes strict regulations against society's ordinary members, but rather that the state goes a step further in actively rewarding those people who either are or should be deemed miscreants.

Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, has announced his resignation. Director Kent outlines his decision as driven by opposition to the war against Iran.
Kent, a senior deputy to Director of National intelligence Tulsi Gabbard posted his resignation letter on the X platform, writing: “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran.” … “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.” (image)This is quite a remarkable development.

U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts said on Tuesday that hostility directed in personal terms at judges is "dangerous and it's got to stop," commenting just days after President Donald Trump's latest social media broadside against judges who have ruled against him and his administration. Roberts did not mention the Republican president by name in his remarks at an event at Rice University in Houston. But Roberts, who has led the U.S. Supreme Court for more than two decades, said that while criticism of judicial decisions is welcome and often healthy, attacks of a personal nature against judges cross a line.

After They Turn Down Trump Request for
Ships for Strait 19 replies
As we reported, President Donald Trump called out European countries that rejected his request for ships to help out in a coalition to escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. It was a much-deserved mic drop scolding. How many times have we saved Europe's bacon? How many decades have we provided them protection from Russia, only to have them not pay their fair share until Trump forced them to do it? Yet they can't even be bothered to provide us help now, to protect their own interests. Here's Germany's Boris Pistorious saying they didn't start the war. So much for such an "ally."
Despite CNN being forced to walk back their fake news over the weekend where they suggested the U.S. military and the Trump administration didn’t have a plan to protect the Strait of Hormuz, ABC News program The View still pushed it during their Monday episode. The news show then went on to encourage people to vote for Democrats in the November midterms. Chronically aggrieved co-host Sunny Hostin pushed the false claim there was no plan for dealing with Iran’s efforts to close the Strait, then suggested the national average price of gas was $8-per-gallon because of it:

It wasn’t long ago that millions and millions of American kids heard their parents’ best advice: “The only way to get ahead is with a college education.” And millions took their advice. Today’s parents and the kids themselves are skeptical college is worth the cost, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
The national online poll, taken Feb. 24 to Feb. 27, asked 1,456 adults: “Do you believe a four-year college degree is worth the cost for most Americans today, or not?”
The answer indicates serious erosion in how Americans view the value of higher education. Overall, of those responding, 59% selected “Not worth the cost,” while just

'troubling' sexual allegations against
civil rights leader 17 replies
Celebrations for what would have been civil rights activist Cesar Chavez's 99th birthday are being canceled ahead of what's being described as "deeply troubling allegations" against the historic figure.
Across the country, several local organizations began canceling their upcoming celebrations in anticipation of an upcoming story that is expected to share concerning reports about the former labor union advocate.
As cancellations grew, the United Farm Workers (UFW), an organization co-founded by Chavez, released a statement on Tuesday confirming allegations were being made, including ones involving abuse of young women or minors. In response, the UFW announced it would no longer take part in any Cesar Chavez Day activities.
The Senate on Tuesday afternoon voted to kick off what could be a dayslong debate over the SAVE America Act, the controversial voter-ID bill backed by President Donald Trump.
“We’re not going to let it pass. We’re going to fight it tooth and nail,” Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., said on Tuesday morning ahead of the vote. “We’re prepared to stay here all day and all night, or multiple days and multiple nights and even multiple weeks , if necessary, to make sure the SAVE Act suffers the death that it deserves.”
The legislation, which advanced out of the House in February, would require proof of citizenship to register and photo ID
Victor Davis Hanson weighs in on how the war with Iran is going after two weeks for "The Daily Signal."
VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: We’re just completing the second week of the so-called Iran war — this effort of the United States to bomb the theocracy into submission so they will cancel their missile and nuclear programs and to champion the popular protests on the streets that have some potential to get rid of the regime itself.
But it’s a very surreal war. I haven’t seen — I don’t think any of us have seen — anything like it. It’s only been two weeks and we’re told that it’s dragging on
President Donald Trump is not happy with NATO allies over the issue of the Iran war and their refusal to escort oil out of the gulf region. President Trump criticized the EU member nations for refusing to support U.S. military efforts in the Strait of Hormuz.
