Why Does America Have a ‘Diversity Visa’?

Original Article

The Diversity Lottery means you can receive immigrants from almost any of these countries on the watch list for human trafficking for the sole reason that “diversity is our greatest strength.” Lucky you! The Immigration Act of 1965 abolished the National Origins quotas of the 1924 Act, which had favored European immigrants. As a result, America has had a flood of non-European immigrants . . . and Europeans were, in effect, discriminated against for Visas. In 1990, the late Teddy Kennedy instituted the “Diversity Visa Lottery” with the specific intention of allowing more Irish immigrants to the U.S. Since then,

Quite simply - to increase virtually guaranteed Dim voters who also just happen to hate America. What other reason could there be?

Gov. Greg Abbott announced support Friday for closing Texas Republican primaries to non-Republicans, telling delegates at the 2026 Texas Republican Party Convention that “We are going to make it clear that in the future, only Republicans will vote in Republican primaries.” The statement, delivered during the convention underway at the George R. Brown Convention Center, comes alongside long-standing Texas GOP platform goals of ending the state’s open primary system. Abbott’s endorsement comes as the party seeks greater control over its nominating process following the March 3, 2026, primaries and recent runoffs.

Cam already talked about how Gun Owners of America is backing Byron Donalds for governor down in Florida, and the reaction of some people to the news. It seems that this was a bit of a controversial decision by GOA, and a lot of people had big feelings about it. Some had gripes that I understood perfectly, while others...let's just say they didn't. But, GOA didn't just pick Donalds out of a hat. There's a reason why they backed that particular horse, and we need to talk about why that is.

The event has long been recognized as a horrific example of mistaken identity and friendly fire, one that still plagues modern warfare despite incredible technological innovations. In an article I wrote a year ago, I exposed the truth about this incident—friendly-fire tragedy—and how anti-Semites and anti-Zionists (although telling the difference between the two is getting harder by the day) exploit this tragic event to demonize Israel. Massie, who has turned his Congressional tenure into a relentless hatefest against all things Jewish and Israeli, insisted on propping up the conspiracy theory, because, well, why exactly?

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS) is continuing its feud with Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap. Now the MCBOS appears to be targeting Heap’s Chief of Staff, Sam Stone, over political posts made from his personal X account. Both agencies are in litigation after the MCBOS took away much of Heap’s office, which a judge ordered them to return. Then they proceeded to set up ballot drop boxes despite Heap’s legal representation, America First Legal, warning them it would be committing felonies. Now the MCBOS appears to be colluding with a leftist rag to generate a hit piece on Stone.

While the streets of Belfast were ablaze with anti-immigration protests last week, behind the scenes a group of spies, spinners and soldiers were deploying the ‘dark arts’ to try to defuse tensions. The name of the secretive Government propaganda unit trying to manipulate events makes it sound like an innocuous back-office operation – the Research, Information and Communications Unit, or RICU. But the dull moniker is part of the deliberate camouflage of an outfit which uses deception and skulduggery to try to manage the ‘challenges’ of multiculturalism. Its techniques range from planting stories in the media,

Sunday was Donald Trump’s 80th birthday, not that he likes the “number.” The president says Joe Biden “gave old age a bad name,” and he’s right. Despite the continuing gaslighting and outright denials from the Biden family and their few remaining acolytes, it was obvious there was something very wrong with Biden’s brain even before he started his first and only term as president at age 78. We all know 80- or even 90-year-olds who, through good genes or good management, are as sharp and vital as people a generation younger. Trump appears to be so blessed, laughing in the face of a malicious campaign to portray him as—

Gov. Abigail Spanberger and whatever members of the Virginia Democratic Party that aren’t in a war of words with her still speak of fulfilling their affordability agenda, which we have debunked in earlier columns as nothing more than more taxpayer-funded subsidies or draconian controls on providers like landlords. However, the news that Rideout Arsenal, a firearms designer and manufacturer, will be moving from Fredericksburg to a new, $22 million manufacturing facility in Thomasville, Georgia, brings new questions about their real commitment to affordability. According to surveys developed by Robert Half,

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) rebuked the Democratic nominee in the Maine Senate race on Friday, saying scandal-plagued Graham Platner is “not even a Democrat.” “We’re the party of pearl clutching, and now we’ve embraced him because we don’t have a choice,” Fetterman told Fox News’s Laura Ingraham in an interview Friday. Like if you can’t really defend him, you could at least say, well, he has a ‘D’ after his name, but he’s not even a Democrat,” he continued. “He actually described himself as a communist.” Platner emerged victorious from Maine’s Democratic primary on Tuesday, following a series of controversies about his past behavior.

President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social Sunday that the strikes on Beirut “should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran.” “We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon,” he wrote, adding: “Let’s not blow it!” Three people were killed in Sunday’s strike on Beirut’s southern Dahieh suburb, according to Lebanon’s Civil Defense Ministry.

The 18th-century French philosopher Voltaire is to have once remarked, “Common sense is not so common” when assessing the lack of logic and basic reasoning prevalent in France during the Age of Enlightenment. He certainly had a knack for distilling his views of humanity in that era. The dominant questions confronting society in that time were markedly different than those which the U.S. currently faces, but his stark observation can still be applied to a distinct segment of American society today.

First Assistant United States Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli slammed the Los Angeles Times on Friday for publishing a report that claimed evidence of homeless voter fraud in the recent primaries was "unfounded." The Los Angeles Times report noted that no evidence of widespread voter fraud occurred in the city, but that a few homeless people on Skid Row were paid to register to vote and sign ballot petitions. "The LA Times headline says voter fraud claims are 'unfounded' — then their own reporting confirms it," Essayli posted on X. "Their article documents homeless individuals being paid cash to register to vote. That’s a federal crime."

Sunday on “This Week,” former President Barack Obama said the United States could not bully or bomb its way to a solution when asked about the Trump administration’s actions in Iran. Reporter Robin Roberts asked, “You spent a lot of time wrestling with the threat of a nuclear Iran. How do you think things are being handled right now there?” Obama said, “It is doubtful that any agreement that arises is going to be significantly different or a significant improvement from the deal that we had in the first place. And had worked for, for a long stretch of time, before we, the United States, pulled out of it.

President Barack Hussein Obama wanted a monument in Chicago, and Chicago gave him parkland, patience, tax breaks, years of disruption, and now a tower that looks less like civic memory than self-regard poured into granite. The Obama Presidential Center opens to the public June 19 in Jackson Park, a historic South Side park once shaped by Frederick Law Olmsted's vision. The Obama Foundation calls it an “awe-inspiring 19-acre campus.” Many Chicagoans can look at the same structure and see something colder. The building matches the man's politics. Obama, the 44th president, sold hope in polished speeches while leaving the country more divided than he found it. My criticism of Obama has

Retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell was mysteriously whisked to the hospital Sunday morning for unknown reasons, and his current condition is not publicly known. “Senator McConnell was admitted to the hospital this morning. He is receiving excellent care,” a spokesperson for McConnell told The Post. McConnell’s spokesperson declined to give more details about the senator’s hospitalization. The 84-year-old former Senate GOP leader has long suffered from a string of health-related issues even as he has continued to ask sharp questions during committee hearings as he serves out the remainder of his seventh term. The Kentucky Republican was previously hospitalized in February with flu-like symptoms.

Obama, whose roots are African rather than African-American, rose to power by hijacking the racial resentments and guilty left behind in America after a history of slave and segregation he was never part of. Now, the one trick pony is at it again, announcing the opening of the grim fortress of a museum in Chicago, on ‘Juneteenth’, trying to link his time in the White House as a notable event for black people up there with the end of slavery. It’s another cynical and despicable hijacking of American history to serve his own vanity and ego. The reality, as most black people will admit, is that

Concern is mounting that taxpayers could be left holding the bag if the Obama Presidential Center runs into financial trouble, as the foundation behind it has yet to establish a promised $470 million safety net to guard against a public bailout. The scrutiny comes as a Fox News Digital investigation found multiple contractors and subcontractors claiming losses ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions on the project, with some alleging they remain locked in payment disputes and face financial ruin just days before the center's grand opening. Under its agreement with the city, the Obama Foundation pledged to create the fund, known as an endowment, as part

The Strait of Hormuz, which carries 20% of the world’s oil, is set to reopen on Friday when a deal is signed in Switzerland, officials said. “The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade.
