Commentary: The H-1B program is badly in need of reform

By National Review It’s in our national interest to skim exceptionally gifted people from other countries, but the current system has been exploited. Well, that, as they say, escalated quickly. Over Christmas, posts on X by Elon Musk and his allies in the tech sector in support of the H-1B visa program drew a backlash from MAGA accounts and created a roiling intra-right debate on immigration. If you ignore a few bigots who richly deserve it, the debate was a nice stocking stuffer for anyone who enjoys factional fights and heated discussion of the finer points of U.S. visa programs Count us in, but the two sides were largely talking past each other, or, at least, there’s an easy way to reconcile the best points of each side. Seeking to clarify himself under fire, Musk said he on...

Caldara: Reality check on mass deportations in Colorado

By Jon Caldara | Commentary, Complete Colorado Let the meaningless battle over mass deportation in Colorado begin. Watching our cities virtue-signal on immigration is the best free entertainment your tax dollars can buy. The war of words and chest beating is worthy of a reality show. On one side, you have Denver’s Mayor Mike Johnston playing a modern-day Paul Revere. With those hideous Redcoats marching on Denver, his cry of “ICE is coming” will rally the Highland moms (who apparently cannot be messed with) and his own police force to take up arms to protect the immigrants who are bankrupting his city. On the other side, you have cities like Castle Rock, those dirty British sympathizers, who have made it clear they welcome the motherland’s ICE agents and wil...

Trump’s Silicon Valley advisor pick pits MAGA loyalists against tech bros led by Musk, Ramaswamy

Chief among their complaints was Krishnan’s past advocacy to remove current country caps on skilled legal immigration. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY CALLER

Donald Trump honors Jimmy Carter upon his death: ‘We all owe him a debt of gratitude’

CBS News journalist slams media, says most underreported 2024 story was Biden’s ‘obvious cognitive decline’

By David Propper | New York Post Veteran CBS News reporter Jan Crawford dinged news organizations for not thoroughly covering President Biden’s “obvious cognitive decline” this year until it became unavoidable during his disastrous debate against Donald Trump over the summer. Crawford, the network’s chief legal correspondent, insisted stronger reporting on the topic could have changed the entire election as she responded to a question from “Face the Nation” moderator Major Garrett about the most underreported story in 2024. “Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate,” she said on the Sunday morning show.

Jimmy Carter, 39th president of the United States, dead at 100

By Fox News Staff , Andrea Margolis | Fox News Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States and a former peanut farmer whose vision of a "competent and compassionate" government propelled him into the White House, died on Sunday, according to local media. He was 100. The news was announced by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday. Carter's death follows the passing of his wife Rosalynn on Nov. 19, 2023 at the age of 96 with her family by her side at the Carter home in Plains, Georgia, just days after she had been admitted to hospice care.  The late former president himself had entered hospice care in February 2023. Carter survived for years after he had a "small mass" removed from his liver in early August 2015 and later that month announced he ha...
