  • Principles in the Crosshairs: Why Consistency Is Heresy in Modern Conservatism

    Croaky's Substack ^ | Dec 31, 2024 | Croaky Caiman
    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.
  • VIDEO: H1-B Visa Controversy Stirred Up by Usual Suspects

    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.
  • Save the H1-B debate for later — first, fully end the border crisis

    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...
  • The Great Fake H1-B Controversy The Narcissism of Small Differences

    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.

    CNN host Reza Aslan, who recently ate human brain on national television, called President Trump an "embarrassment to humankind" for reiterating his call for a travel ban in the aftermath of the London terror attacks. [Snip] "This piece of s*** is not just an embarrassment to America and a stain on the presidency," Aslan tweeted in response. "He's an embarrassment to humankind." Aslan generated controversy earlier this year when he ate human brain with a cannibalistic sect of hinduism on his CNN show, "Believer." ... "I am a liberal, progressive, secularized American Muslim," he once wrote in an NPR column.

    Senator Joseph Biden (D-DE) failed today to address rumors that Nevada Senator Harry Reid will step down next month as Senate Minority Leader. Reid has been stung by revelations that his political action committee (PAC) accepted more than $60,000 in contributions from Indian tribes linked to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Appearing on CNN's Late Edition, Biden avoided discussing either the Reid situation or any upcoming changes in Senate Democratic leadership. Reid is no stranger to scandal, having been the subject of a 1979 Justice Department probe into allegations that Reid — then Nevada Gaming Commission chairman — had received bribes...

    ST. PETERSBURG - The mother of the 5-year-old girl who was handcuffed at school by police has withdrawn her daughter from Pinellas public schools and is moving out of state, superintendent Clayton Wilcox said Monday night. The development was the latest in a bizarre saga that began Friday, when a videotape of the handcuffing was made public. Since then, wrenching video images of the wailing kindergartener being handcuffed by St. Petersburg police have raced around the globe, airing and re-airing on television news shows in the United States, Great Britain, Spain, around Asia and beyond. On Monday morning, the Largo...
