It’s a curious peculiar hallmark of our political moment as conservatives that adhering to principles—steadfastly examining issues through the lens of conservatism and first principles—is now treated as heresy by self proclaimed conservatives, while ideological flexibility and indifference are paraded as virtues. This peculiar attack invariably comes from the populists, those sartorial magicians who don the garments of conservatism when it suits them, only to cast them off the moment they conflict with the “current thing.” These are the ideological chameleons, the political reincarnations of those high school kids who reinvented themselves annually to fit in with whatever clique was...

Turns out this was a massive clickbait article from Murdoch’s NYP: The reporter didn’t even show Trump Elon’s posts and didn’t correct Trump on the type of visas workers at his clubs use.

VIDEOListen to the usual suspects attempt to stir up doubt over Trump's judgement about the H-1B Visa program. The tag team of usual suspects of paid DNC shill Harry J. Sisson, Snaggletooth, and Joyless Reid sound astoundingly alike perhaps because they are reading their scripts from the same playbook. Yes, this whole thing stinks of an astro-turf operation designed to sow discord among MAGA and to keep Elon Musk from leading DOGE which is greatly feared by Rupert Murdoch.

MAGA world erupted after Christmas in a not-very-useful debate over H-1B visas — a side issue that while important, especially to the tech industry, can’t possibly be Team Trump’s top immigration priority. Before anything else, the new president must get the border fully under control and start undoing the worst damage from the Biden disaster. That is in fact the plan: Border Czar-designate Tom Homan is already getting set to ID, detain and deport the worst criminals, including the Tren de Aragua crews. The new Homeland Security team under Kristi Noem will oversee a border clampdown; Trump diplomacy is already...

Sigmund Freud had a term for it—the “narcissism of small differences”. In this case, Wikipedia explains it well: “… the more a relationship or community shares commonalities, the more likely the people in it are to engage in interpersonal feuds and ridicule because of hypersensitivity to minor differences.” We all recognize this pattern that manifests in various ways from the bickering of married couples to successful rock bands breaking up. The most minor disputes explode into major ones that no one wanted in the first place with sometimes disastrous results. This fits the internal MAGA dispute over H1-B visas to...

It was expected: any and every opportunity to attack Donald Trump and divide panicky Republicans who continually re-earn the title “the stupid party.” At Real Clear Politics Sasha Stone discourses on the H-1B controversy.Stone correctly points out Vivek Ramaswamy is right in noting American culture has, over the last several decades, turned away from merit and in so doing dumbed us down. There’s a reason many tech companies hire highly qualified foreigners: we’re not producing enough STEM graduates. Graphic: X ScreenshotObviously, such debates are a bit more complex than the surface treatment much of anti-America/Trump left allows, but I suspect...
