The good news is that between May 2024 and May 2025 the U.S. gained 41,060 computer jobs. The bad news is that in 2025 the U.S. imported 52,938 workers for computer jobs on H-1B visas alone. Even more foreign computer workers come under an alphabet soup of other work programs [about 20 other foreign labor categories].

Our country is in serious trouble. We don’t have victories anymore. We used to have victories, but we don’t have them. When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let’s say, China in a trade deal? They kill us. I beat China all the time. All the time. When did we beat Japan at anything? They send their cars over by the millions, and what do we do? When was the last time you saw a Chevrolet in Tokyo? It doesn’t exist, folks. They beat us all the time. When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing...

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said his party would ban foreign nationals from living in social housing, with tenants required to find private accommodation within three months or face possible deportation. The party confirmed the ban would apply retrospectively, regardless of how long someone has been living in the UK, under Reform's policy of abolishing Indefinite Leave to Remain. In a 6,800-word Substack essay, the Clacton MP said "anti-white racism was embedded into the state" and that legislation aimed at equality was a form of "social cleansing". A government spokesperson said: "Illegal migrants, asylum seekers and migrants on student...

Let us make a reckoning – a true and terrible reckoning – with those Palestinian Arabs. Not only with the million or more Arabs who are under our rule, but with all of them. All those two and a half million Arabs who call themselves “the Palestinian people” and who are now in the bosom of the Arab world that surrounds us. Since our settlers, the first Zionists,...

Daily Readings from the USCCBJesus said to his disciples: “You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father… So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Matthew 5:43–45, 48The Law of Moses, contained in the first five books of the Old Testament, taught the importance of loving one’s neighbor: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:18). “Neighbor” in this context primarily...

Dear Senator Warren,When I watched your recent video on X about Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, I found myself in the unusual position of agreeing with you—at least in part. That is not a sentence I write often.You see…you are correct that something has gone profoundly wrong in an economy that can produce a trillionaire. You are correct that the gap between the financial elite and ordinary Americans has become so vast that most people can barely comprehend it. And you are correct that millions of Americans increasingly feel as though the economy is rigged in favor of...

"This is pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father . . . to keep oneself unstained by the world" (James 1:27). God doesn’t tolerate compromise with the world. Keeping yourself unstained by the world is an important test of your spiritual condition. The apostle John said, "Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him" (1 John 2:15). At first glance that might sound contradictory since God Himself so loved the world that He gave His Son to die...

The Pride Night backlash isn’t going away anytime soon for the San Francisco Giants. The Giants held their annual celebration of San Francisco’s LGBTQ+ community on Friday night, with the team wearing special hats with a rainbow-colored “SF” logo as part of the evening. But four of the five pitchers the Giants used in Friday’s loss to the Cubs protested the commemoration, with three pitchers — Landon Roupp, JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker — writing a Bible verse on their Pride Night hats, while Sam Hentges elected to not wear the rainbow-logo hat at all.

Switzerland has rejected a proposal to cap its population at 10 million people, with voters choosing economic stability and strong relations with the European Union over concerns about rising immigration, housing shortages, and pressure on public services. According to preliminary results from the nationwide referendum, nearly 55% of Swiss voters opposed the initiative, while 45% supported it. The closely watched vote had drawn comparisons to the United Kingdom’s Brexit referendum because of its potential impact on Switzerland’s relationship with the EU. The proposal, backed by the right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP), sought to prevent Switzerland’s population from exceeding 10 million...

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and other Trump administration officials are likely to face subpoenas on “day one” of a Democratic majority if the party takes control of the lower chamber after the midterm elections. Garcia said a more in-depth probe into those associated with deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will commence if Democrats regain the House. During an interview with NOTUS published Monday, the California Democrat said that “in the last few months, it feels like Republicans have decided that they’re done.”...
