'Jig is up': Crackdown coming on system rigged to give foreigners Americans' jobs * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh: 

A new report in Revolver.News warns that now the "jig is up," and there's coming a crackdown on a system rigged to give foreigners Americans' jobs. The system is the H-1B visa system that purportedly is to allow foreigners with technical expertise to come to America for jobs when there aren't enough qualified Americans for the work.

"It's frightening that this man was in charge of the FBI."

Climate Narrative Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes Duane Patterson

By the mid-teens of the new century, due to the fact that the Earth wasn't boiling over fast or severe enough to keep up with the prophets of doom predicting global apocalypse, the narrative had to shift again.

• It wasn't cooling, and it wasn't really warming up all that much, so the term 'climate change' evolved as the preferred term of art...

Yesterday, The Guardian came out with this news - the climate isn't really changing much at all.

The melting of sea ice in the Arctic has slowed dramatically in the past 20 years, scientists have reported, with no statistically significant decline in its extent since 2005. 

The finding is surprising, the researchers say, given that carbon emissions from fossil fuel burning have continued to rise and trap ever more heat over that time. 

They said natural variations in ocean currents that limit ice melting had probably balanced out the continuing rise in global temperatures. However, they said this was only a temporary reprieve and melting was highly likely to start again at about double the long-term rate at some point in the next five to 10 years...

The House That Love Built: Caitlin Clark’s Parents Sold Their Home in Secret, and What They Never Told Her Will Change How You See Success

...Brent and Anne Clark held each other’s hands. Between them lay a piece of paper—a final mortgage receipt for a house they no longer owned.

For six months, they had lived with a secret so profound, a sacrifice so total, that it was both their greatest gift and their heaviest burden. 

• They had sold their family home, the sanctuary where their daughter Caitlin had grown from a little girl with a basketball to a national phenom, and they had never told her the real reason.

How far can love push a parent?...

ZERO!

 

Things Democrats say:

The Democratic Party loves to cloak itself in noble rhetoric, claiming to champion the working man, free speech, traditions, democracy, diversity, and rule-following. - Michael Smith

• - We are the party of the working man.
• - We support free speech.
• - We respect traditions and norms.
• - We want to save democracy.
• - We are for diversity.
• - We follow the rules.

Well, no, no, no, nope, hell no, and you must be f*cking kidding me.

• Let me tell you why Democrats are none of these.

The Democratic Party loves to cloak itself in noble rhetoric, claiming to champion the working man, free speech, traditions, democracy, diversity, and rule-following. 

• But scratch the surface, and their actions tell a different story - one of hypocrisy, power grabs, and betrayal of the principles they profess. 

Let’s unpack why their self-proclaimed virtues are little more than a mirage...

Read this BEFORE you send you children to any college!-----Perpetual Disruption

A friend who works in the finance world would routinely caution his people not to get too used to high-flying salaries, or to commit themselves to lifestyles that required them going forward, because one disruption - one "better mousetrap" invented by a competitor - could knock them all back down to earth. - Peter Venetoklis

• I saw his caution play out among other friends and acquaintances, as their big bucks jobs disappeared and they had to seek other professions as a result.
• Heck, it happened to my gaggle in the 1990s, when Reagan's defense buildup ceased and a flood of young aerospace engineers moved into a range of non-engineering professions.

All this came to mind as I read about how Artificial Intelligence is killing jobs en masse in the tech sector, and drying up many of the perks for those that remain...

Such is the way of progress. 

In economics, it is called "creative destruction," and we find examples of it ranging back to the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution...

How Easy It’s Been: Trump Outshines Predecessors In Work With Africa

Trump isn’t just brokering deals with African governments, but amassing goodwill among African civilians. - Natalie Sandoval
Just look at his foreign policy record. 

Especially in comparison to his recent presidential predecessors.

The Guardian also took note of Nigerian support for Trump.

• “​​Portraits of Trump have grown more common among the impressionist depictions of notable figures often sold from open stalls on the streets of Nigeria,” the outlet reports.
• “Although perceptions of Trump vary across Nigeria’s diverse cultural and religious landscape, there is a large affinity towards him, fostered years before he entered politics when his larger-than-life image as a bombastic, straight-talking, self-made billionaire made his books a hit here.”...
