WATCH: “We made an enormous mistake allowing the ed tech industry to come in and give every kid a computer, a tablet, an iPad, a Chromebook… and the results are devastating and we need to stop.” @JonHaidt via @andersoncooper@AC360
Matthew McConaughey reflects on what he realized at 8 years old that made him want to be a father
"The only thing I ever knew in life I wanted to be was a father. I was 8 years old. My dad was a yes sir, no sir man. He'd introduce me to his friends and I'd shake their hand, 'Yes sir, nice to meet you'"
"What hit me at 8 years old was that all of those men whose hands I shook and called sir - they were dads. They were fathers"
"And in my 8-year-old mind, I went: 'Oh, that's how you make it. That's success. Become a father. That's how you become a man. That's how you become a king'"
Just a reminder: You may notice gas prices inching down a bit. They’re now increasing the level of ethanol they put into our gasoline from 10% to 15%. Started May 1. This is really bad for our cars and will cause damage to our car’s fuel system due to corrosion.
Saw on insta that the guy who danced in front of the War Memorial in the US has been deported.
Not cuz he danced. It's cuz he violated his H1B visa norms
Scamming, misusing & lack of civic sense abroad is damaging our country's reputation.
BOMBSHELL REPORT 🚨
90% OF INDIA’S H-1B APPLICATIONS CONTAIN FRAUDULENT DOCUMENTS
India has dismantled a network and seized 100,000+ counterfeit certificates. ONE Indian university alone sold over 36,000 fake degrees.
71% of all H-1B are from India.
Jeff Bezos reveals why compromise is one of the worst ways to resolve a disagreement
"An example of a really bad way of coming to agreement is compromise. If I say the ceiling is 11 feet and you say 12 feet, we say let's call it 11 and a half. That's compromise"
"The advantage of compromise is it's low energy. But it doesn't lead to truth"
"Another really bad resolution mechanism is who's more stubborn. Two executives disagree, they have a war of attrition, and whichever one gets exhausted first capitulates. You haven't arrived at truth, and this is very demoralizing"
"Escalation is better than a war of attrition. Escalate to your boss and say, we can't agree, we like each other, we're respectful, but we strongly disagree, we need you to make a decision"
"Exhausting the other person is not truth seeking. Compromise is not truth seeking"
FedEx took billions in taxpayer money.
Even the Times of India thought it was odd.
They then immediately fired Americans.
Almost as if they already had the all clear from our government.
Then they hired H-1B visa labor.
And not one single elected official has condemned it.
Not one.
You probably already heard that and it was upsetting.
But could it be because of how much FedEx donated to both parties, but overwhelmingly to Republicans?
Could it be because we see members in Congress own hundreds of thousands in FedEx stock?
Even the Times of India thinks it suspicious.
JD denounced their refusal to help and we are starting to understand.
That silence tells us everything.
It means this behavior is now acceptable in Washington.\
It means visa expansion bills are still alive.
It means FedEx was not a scandal.
It was business as usual.
And it means American workers are no longer being defended.
Instead companies are giving thousands to our political leaders in return for billions being added to their bottom lines.
If lawmakers were uneasy about widening the visa pipeline, this would have been the moment to speak.
They didn’t say a single thing.
They counted on the news cycle to take it away.
It might be a job to us, a career.
But it is a lucrative stock deal to a member of Congress.
Don't forget it.

Saturday is devoted to showing folks these uncomfortable truths.
Be prepared.
Some of our political heroes are the very worst offenders - saying what we want to hear while selling us out.
I expect when confronted with the names, some people would prefer to unfollow and mute this account than be faced with the truth.
It is ugly.
Update on the landlord operation:
1. I have trained 7 people and am about to train an 8th one on how to find deportable H-1B landlords. Please support these patriots who are stepping forward.
2. We are starting to build a team to review our findings to flag possible mortgage fraud. We have 5 state governments that expressed interest in this data.
3. A financial institution expressed interest in knowing which mortgage brokers have high-risk clients, so that they can begin parallel construction and review these mortgages.
4. I am noticing that some H-1B landlords are starting to list their houses on the market now, hoping to sell before things get really bad.
