- The Builder and the Extractors
There is a tale of two software companies that tells you nearly everything you need to know about the American economy in 2026: a company that builds, a company that extracts, and the people who pay the price when the extractors are done. Both companies sell property management software. They compete in the same market, serve ... - The White House Doesn’t Need Congress to Help Struggling Graduates
At a recent Turning Point USA event, a group of college students told JD Vance that the system isn’t working for them and voiced frustration with the H-1B visa program, a program that allows U.S. companies to hire foreign workers for less than American workers in specialty occupations. They described a job market that has grown ... - The Leash We Don’t See
Benjamin Franklin once observed that a lightning rod saves the house by absorbing the strike. What follows is written in that spirit. The analysis applied here to the left will be applied equally to the right—to a movement many of my readers consider their own, including me. I’m not equivocating. I think it’s the only ... - They Told You It Was About Policy. It Was Always About Power.
Fair warning: Francis was a controversial figure and not without his critics on matters beyond politics — but a framework this accurate and this predictive deserves serious engagement regardless of its author’s other liabilities. There’s a book most of the people running Washington, the universities, and the corporate boardrooms would prefer you never read. It was ... - Leviathan and Its Enemies

- Tariffs on Electric Vehicles? Biden and Trump’s Positions
Today we are giving our take on the Biden administration’s announcement that it will be raising tariffs on a host of Chinese-made products. Given they are calling for a 100% tariff on electric vehicles, we appear not only in an international trade war but, a domestic trade war as well with both the Democratic Party ... - Biden’s Proposed Rule Change Is A Kick In The Teeth To American Workers
President Biden’s Department of Labor (DOL) is proposing a new rule that will hurt Americans employed in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) occupations by making it even easier for employers to discriminate against U.S. workers in favor of foreign workers on H-1B visas. Before we dig into what this proposed rule change is, here is a quick primer on the H-1B employment visa: When an ... - What Happened To Alphabet and Google Search?

In 2018, a San Antonio newspaper reporter asked me why so many H-1B visa labor condition applications originate in Texas. I answered that it’s because the U.S. operations of several of the largest Indian IT consulting firms are headquartered there. Prior to the Biden administration’s open border policies, Indians were one of America’s fastest-growing immigrant communities. ... - The TRUTH About American Thanksgiving
So last Thursday was Thanksgiving. As per usual, the America Haters who are supported by China and the Billionaire Boys Club of Davos unfurled their false hate America division narratives in full force and voice. The latest leftie untruth is that Thanksgiving celebrates an American massacre of 700 of the Indigenous people ... - Happy Thanksgiving 2023
Dear All, Thanksgiving, our national holiday is both individually and collectively a time to give thanks. I’ve been informed by the editors at Psychology Today that people who are grateful experience less pain, less stress, have stronger immune systems, engage in healthier relationships, and do better academically and professionally. I believe the same is true for organizations. Later ... - SpaceX Wrestles With The Technicalities of U.S. Immigration Law
On August 24th, the Department of Justice announced it was suing Elon Musk’s "Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) for discriminating against asylees and refugees in its hiring practices."

It’s been thirty-one years since John Lautner died. For those who didn’t know him, John was California’s and, perhaps, the United States’ best postwar architect after Frank Lloyd Wright. He was also my friend and over the years, because I was involved in local government, I attempted somewhat foolishly, to get ... - EAGLE Act Dies Deserved Death in Lame Duck
Given the numerous landmines that faced immigration restrictionists during the always perilous, fraught-with-amnesty lame duck session, the results turned out pretty well. As usual, several proposals that would have harmed Americans, and specifically U.S. workers, lurked around every corner. But in the end and despite the treacherous bills many supporters, and ... - Cows Call Green House Gas Charges “Udderly” Ridiculous!
No longer satisfied with shutting down the oil and gas industries, this year saw the World Economic Forum moving fast forward with targeting farmers for nitrogen emissions. Their assaults have led to push back by farmers in the Netherlands, Germany and Canada. It’s no longer just farmers pushing back, but cows have joined the rebellion calling ... - Tech Workers Brace for Possible Omnibus Job-Killer
Like the proverbial bad penny that keeps reappearing, lousy immigration bills are hard to kill off.

The newest proposed legislation is another iteration of the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants ... - Tech Layoffs May Give U.S. IT Workers Opportunities
Elon Musk, Twitter’s new Chief Executive Officer, and the firings he immediately called for that included H-1B visa holders, as well as the tech industry’s mass, across-the-board layoffs, raise a three-decade-old question: should the H-1B visa be eliminated, and should U.S. tech workers be put first in line for the white-collar, well-paid jobs? Musk, who completed ... - Elections Have Consequences
Executive Director's Corner Dear All: It’s Saturday morning, November 5th and I will undoubtably be headed to Ronks, Pennsylvania to toss, smash and bash pumpkins at the annual Pumpkin Madness Festival.

Founder's Corner Dear All, This week, I’m shifting our focus to halfway across the globe to the political drama unfolding in the United Kingdom (UK).

Liz Truss survived a mere 44 days and the current ... - Administration’s Latest Blue-Collar Jobs Giveaway
Wall Street titan Goldman Sachs released a memorandum which said, in short, that more immigration is the solution to the persistently low labor participation rate.

Goldman theorizes that the ... - White House Shrugs at Chinese Espionage

The jury also found Chaoqun guilty of one count of making false statements to the U.S. Army during his application process. ... - Labor Sec. Walsh Confused about Facts
Give Department of Labor Secretary Marty Walsh grudging credit. Walsh may be the only honest man in President Biden’s administration. When asked to comment on the August Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs report and the alleged worker shortage, Walsh didn’t give a mealy-mouthed reply. Instead, Walsh, supposedly appointed and confirmed to represent the American labor force, ...

@Mithrandir48 The reason only 85 visas paid the fee is that nearly all visas were exempt from the fee. The fee did NOTHING for American workers. The number of H-1B visa was the same with it because of all the exemptions.
