Imported degrees, exported jobs: How America's student visa system became a foreign labor pipeline * WorldNetDaily * by Amanda Bartolotta:

Commies gonna commie - by Tom Knighton
Commies have got to spy on capitalists because communists can’t create, only steal. - Tom KnightonAnd while China might produce low-cost stuff and have something resembling private ownership to some degree, at heart, they’re still commies and they’re still eager to steal stuff from the West.
Which Stanford has been reminded of.
Which Stanford has been reminded of.
This summer, a CCP agent impersonated a Stanford student.
Under the alias Charles Chen, he approached several students through social media.
Anna*, a Stanford student conducting sensitive research on China, began receiving unexpected messages from Charles Chen.
At first, Charles's outreach seemed benign: he asked about networking opportunities.
But soon, his messages took a strange turn...
After interviewing multiple anonymous Stanford faculty, students, and China experts, we can confirm that the CCP is orchestrating a widespread intelligence-gathering campaign at Stanford.
In short, “there are Chinese spies at Stanford.”...
The problem is that, as the experts noted, China is looking for “sympathetic Stanford students.”

NGOs Are "The Biggest Scam Ever" As Another $20 Million Grant of Inflation Reduction Act Funds Illustrates
We have been living under NGO domination of our politics and our news for decades now, and it’s only gotten worse over time. - Thomas J Shepstone
Elon Musk...the following remarks by him represent a major contribution to saving Western civilization from the massive corruption that’s now endemic among our institutions:
Elon Musk...the following remarks by him represent a major contribution to saving Western civilization from the massive corruption that’s now endemic among our institutions:
...The scam of which Musk speaks is, in fact, blatant today and I have another example from the Data Republican website to share.
It’s a $20,452,614 grant made to an NGO called “Day One” out of Pasadena, California. Day One describes itself as follows:The organization’s latest 990 return indicates it took in $2,474,402 in revenue that years, had net assets of $490,035, and managed to lose $190,839.
Day One is a community-based nonprofit organization with a 38-year history of providing effective, high quality and culturally-sensitive public health education, intervention, and policy development in the San Gabriel Valley.
Yet, Joe Biden’s EPA rushed $20,452,614 out the door under the Inflation Reduction Act at the last minute for this...

Supreme Court allows Trump to enforce transgender ban in U.S. military * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
As people who follow the science know, changing from male to female or vice versa doesn't happen, as being male or female is embedded in the human body down to the DNA level.
The CBS report noted the Pentagon disbursed some $52 million on medical "care" to treat gender dysphoria between 2015 and 2024.
The Supreme Court's ruling came in a case from Washington state on behalf of "seven transgender service members" and others.

Gov. Youngkin announces investigation into 'alarming' violation of student rights at Loudon school district over trans policy | Blaze Media:
Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin said he was directing an investigation into what he called an "alarming" violation of student rights at a Loudon County school over a transgender policy.
The family of a student at Stone Bridge High School said he was accused of sexual harassment after asking why there was a biological girl in the boys' locker room. The student is reportedly being investigated for allegedly violating Title IX, which forbids sex discrimination.
For higher education, “AI’s takeover [is] a full-blown existential crisis.”
“I think we are years — or months, probably — away from a world where nobody thinks using AI for homework is considered cheating.” - Steve McGuire@sfmcguire79
“It isn’t as if cheating is new.
But now, as one student put it, ‘the ceiling has been blown off.’
Who could resist a tool that makes every assignment easier with seemingly no consequences?”
- “Massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate.”...
I’m a power engineer. The Iberian grid collapse makes me very afraid for Britain - Capell Aris
The Iberian blackout was complete within a few seconds.
- Last Monday, the Iberian grid suffered a disturbance in the south-west at 12:33.
- In 3.5 seconds this worsened and the interconnection to France disconnected.
- All renewable generation then went off-line...
At the time the grid was producing 28.4 GW of power, of which 79 per cent was solar and wind.
This was a problematic situation as solar and wind plants have another, not widely known, downside – one quite apart from their intermittency and expense.
- This is the fact that they do not supply any inertia to the grid...
A Newly Discovered Algorithm in Wisconsin Voter File is Indisputable Evidence of Criminal Election Fraud - American Thinker
...leaving no doubt someone has penetrated the WEC’s computer system to impose a criminal reordering on the voter files... - Jerome R. Corsi
Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., has discovered a never-before-seen algorithm in the Wisconsin Election Commission’s (WEC) voter registration database...
Paquette first observed that the WEC voter roll had an unusually high number of voter records that ended in zero.
Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., has discovered a never-before-seen algorithm in the Wisconsin Election Commission’s (WEC) voter registration database...
Paquette first observed that the WEC voter roll had an unusually high number of voter records that ended in zero.
Assuming that the WEC voter roll assigned voter ID numbers sequentially, without breaks or outside manipulation, records ending in 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 should appear with equal distribution.
As seen in Table 1, voter records ending in zero occurred in 30.6 percent of the voter records, while those ending in numbers 1 through 9 ended with each number appearing equally at 7.7 percent of the time.

Glenn Beck says if you live in THIS state, get out NOW | Blaze Media:
Even though Democrats lost the last election thanks to their progressive policies that alienated a huge portion of the country, that doesn’t mean they’re rethinking their radicalism.
A perfect example is the state of Washington, which just made a series of terrifying moves that caused Glenn Beck to say, “If you're living in Washington state, may I just say get the hell out now!”

The NYT bemoans that Trump has cut over $800 million in spending on LGBTQ health issues - American Thinker
The NYT bemoans that Trump has cut over $800 million in spending on LGBTQ health issues - American Thinker - Andrea Widburg 
It’s a dark time in New York’s Fire Island, San Francisco’s Castro Street, LA’s West Hollywood, or any of America’s other gay meccas.
That’s because, as the New York Times despairingly reports, the “Trump Administration Slashes Research Into L.G.B.T.Q. Health.”
But of course, this isn’t the tragedy the Times implies.
That’s because, as even the Times reveals, the LGBTQ+ research that is getting cut is almost entirely about making it possible to engage in dangerous behaviors with fewer consequences...
Hmmm.

Hmmm.
Why would the Trump administration do that?
- Could it be because those cancers and viruses result from sexual transmission?
- Or because we’re trying to medicalize the mental confusion of so-called “transgenderism.”
- In other words, the problems stem from reckless sexual behavior or culturally-promoted mental illness, not something inherent in identifying oneself as a member of the LGBTQ+ cohort...
Trump bans funding for controversial gain-of-function research | Blaze Media
Trump bans funding for controversial gain-of-function research | Blaze Media:
Trump's order ends federal funding for the research in countries like China, Iran, and others without sufficient oversight. It also orders U.S. agencies to identify such research that might imperil public safety and end federal funding for any programs.
"For decades, policies overseeing gain-of-function research on pathogens, toxins, and potential pathogens have lacked adequate enforcement, transparency, and top-down oversight," read a fact sheet from the administration. "Researchers have not acknowledged the legitimate potential for societal harms that this kind of research poses."
