Want to be demoralized today? Head over to the H1B visa Reddit forum. They are still getting record approvals, PERMs, and finding new jobs in record time when being laid off. It seems to be smoke and mirrors what the Trump Administration is doing here.

Vivek Ramaswamy Is Dead Wrong on What it Means to Be an American
Yesterday, Vivek said you can’t just move to France and become French or Japan and become Japanese or Italy and become Italian etc.
He’s right. BUT then…
Vivek makes the obscene argument that all 9 billion people on earth can all move to America and magically become “American”
No. This ideology is cancer.
1. Being an American is not about how quickly the government can issue you paperwork.
It's a heritage. A tradition forged in centuries of sacrifice of our forefathers who settled and built this land.
Who built America? The answer is European Christians. For the first 200 years +90% of the American population were Christian settlers from the European continent. We also fought in the wars, built the infrastructure, created the economy and culture. These are facts. To ignore them is intellectual dishonesty and disrespect.
What’s worse than ignoring our founding culture is the argument that other cultures are worth preserving and ours is not.
2. Why is Chinese, French, Japanese or German culture distinct and sacred, yet American culture, which has been the dominant force here since the 1600s, is to be discarded and replaced?
A Nation is its people. If you took all the Japanese out of Japan, it wouldn’t be Japan anymore. If Japanese people became a vanishing minority in Japan, it wouldn’t be Japan anymore.
If America becomes a UN refugee camp of infinite foreign enclaves, each one with their own alien traditions and allegiances and languages, we will atomize American culture.
These comments reveal a worldview that America is simply an economic taxation zone to be strip mined of all resources by globalists and foreign fraudsters.
I disavow this.
To be an effective leader you must first love and treasure the people that you are leading.
It’s ok to want to keep America American. 🇺🇸

These tourists in Paris gleefully filmed themselves looting, with one framing the act as "ending up" in something and taking "free stuff."
When the riot police finally showed up, they, of course, began screaming like helpless victims. 🙄

🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Iran’s blockade of Hormuz is failing: the Gulf is pumping out MORE oil than before the war
Kpler's numbers for the week through Oct. 18: 24 million barrels a day out of the region against 23.3 million prewar, and Hormuz itself back to 82% of normal even though October has seen roughly 30 ship attacks, a fifth of the war's total.
Saudi and Emirati pipelines now carry 40% of the Gulf's non-Iranian crude around the strait, up from 17% in February.
Iran's own exports stay bottled up by the US blockade.
The system doing it is ugly and EXPENSIVE.
Tankers reportedly load inside the Gulf with their trackers off, dash through under American air cover along the Omani coast, hand the cargo to another ship in the Gulf of Oman and go back in for more.
Crews get three times their monthly pay or a $25,000 bonus for one round trip, a supertanker run to China costs a record $37 a barrel in freight, war insurance has jumped from under 3% to 10% of hull value, and one ship that took an RPG through its water tank last week was carrying 2 million barrels of Iraqi crude at the time.
Credit where it's due: CENTCOM said last week that the US controls Hormuz and Tehran's "closed" claims are lies, and the volume data backs Washington.
Iran can still make the trip dangerous and the whole world is paying for it at $108 Brent, which is why gas is $6 and Trump is at 31%.
But the leverage Tehran built in April, the actual shortage of crude, appears to be gone.

Voilà ce que produit la culture de l’assistanat et du tout-gratuit, entretenue depuis des décennies par le socialisme !
Ces jeunes qui ont grandi dans un pays où les aides sociales, l’école gratuite, les cantines subventionnées, les centres sociaux, les associations, les loisirs et les vacances sont financés par l’argent public ne respectent rien car ils ont été habitués à vivre dans l’assistanat et la gratuité sans fournir le moindre effort. Aujourd’hui, ils se comportent comme des enfants gâtés, comme si tout leur était dû, même ce qui appartient aux autres !
Ils débarquent en meute dans les magasins, volent, pillent, saccagent, sans le moindre respect pour les commerçants, les salariés et les familles qui travaillent pour gagner leur vie !
Pendant que des millions de Français se lèvent tôt, comptent chaque euro et se privent pour payer leurs factures, ces voyous remplissent leurs sacs sans débourser un centime ! Des commerçants dépouillés, des vitrines fracassées, des salariés qui risquent de perdre leur emploi et ces bandes de racailles qui repartent avec leur butin ! C’est insupportable !
Le pire, c’est que certains leur trouvent encore des excuses ! On vient encore nous parler de pauvreté, de quartiers défavorisés, de racisme, de manque de moyens ? ÇA SUFFIT ! Des millions de familles françaises modestes vivent dignement, travaillent dur et élèvent leurs enfants sans voler ni détruire !
La France a consacré des milliards à l’éducation, aux politiques sociales, aux quartiers populaires et prioritaires, aux associations et aux dispositifs d’insertion. Mais où sont les résultats ? Où sont le respect, l’éducation, le goût de l’effort et la responsabilité civique ?
Voilà l’une des grandes erreurs du socialisme, croire qu’il suffit de multiplier les aides, les subventions et la gratuité pour résoudre les problèmes sociaux, sans accorder autant d’importance aux devoirs, au mérite et à la responsabilité individuelle !
On distribue, on subventionne, on finance. Mais qui paie ? Toujours ceux qui travaillent ! Et qui paie encore lorsque les commerces sont détruits ? Les commerçants, les salariés, les contribuables !
Ces bandes de racailles se croient tout permis ! Le travail ? Trop fatigant ! Payer ? Pourquoi faire, puisqu’il y a des aides et qu’il suffit de se servir ! Le tout-gratuit comme habitude, le moindre effort comme ambition, les droits sans les devoirs ! Avec un profond mépris pour ceux qui se lèvent chaque matin afin de gagner honnêtement leur vie !
J’en ai assez de cette mentalité du « tout m’est dû » ! Assez de ces voyous qui veulent profiter de tout, ne respecter personne et laisser les autres payer les dégâts qu’ils provoquent !
La France n’est pas leur paillasson ni un pays où l’on peut venir se servir dans les magasins ! ceux qui préfèrent le pillage au travail ne doivent plus être considérés comme d’éternelles victimes des méchants Français racistes, ils doivent assumer et répondre de leurs actes !
Il faut être aveugle pour ne pas voir que sur ces images, de nombreux pillards sont noirs ou d’origine maghrébine ! Pourquoi faudrait-il faire semblant de ne pas le voir ? Pour ne pas attiser le racisme, mais c’est eux qui attisent le racisme justement ! Ces racailles devront tôt ou tard assumer leurs actes, car elles sont en train de dépasser les limites et la patience des Français a des limites !
Les Français ne sont pas racistes parce qu’ils refusent de subir les pillages et les violences ! Mais à force de voir ces scènes se répéter, la colère monte et le risque d’amalgames et de racisme grandit. Ceux qui commettent ces actes portent la responsabilité de leurs crimes, et aucune accusation de racisme ne doit les déresponsabiliser !
Stop à l’impunité de ces sales gosses qui se comportent en racailles et qui terrorisent la population et les honnêtes gens !
Bientôt, la victimisation, le chantage au racisme ou à l’islamophobie et les pleurnicheries ne serviront plus à rien, il faudra assumer ses actes !

Look at this French school girl, they tried to deprive her of knowledge and she walked out with all the literature she wanted. She's holding Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, McCarthy, Homer and many other classics.

In less than five years, one king has rekindled the pride of his people, brought out the very best in them, and reminded the world what it truly means to be Warri people.
They have showcased the breathtaking beauty of their culture, the splendour of their traditions, and the depth of their spirituality in a way that is impossible to ignore.
The love, joy, passion, and devotion they display for their king and the unmistakable Warri identity are absolutely intoxicating! Honestly, it makes me a little jealous. But they are our brothers and aisters, and I couldn't be prouder of this young king and his people. What a beautiful thing to witness a king inspire such unity, cultural pride, and collective joy among his people.
Congratulations to His Majesty, Ogiame Atuwatse III! 👑
Long live the Olu of Warri! Long live the Itsekiri people! May your kingdom continue to flourish in cultural splendour, spiritual depth, unity, and prosperity.

Itsekiri language (the only one in Nigeria with just one dialect) is undeniably Yoruboid, but Itsekiri culture is not. The distinction is clear.

Abiy Ahmed on Eritrea, in his own words.
"When Eritrea was part of Ethiopia, it had more than 300 factories." Today, he says, Asmara "has become a town smaller than Arba Minch or Jijiga," Massawa "has been left empty, and Assab has become a town without people."
Then a warning: "If our call falls on deaf ears, the danger will be extremely, extremely grave."
Ethiopia's PM spoke to state broadcaster EBC. (translated)
Is this a case for Ethiopia's return to the Red Sea, or a threat to Eritrea's sovereignty?
