I hope you coming to my bio because you're arguing with me makes you feel like a loser.

When I got diagnosed with cancer I received a phone call from someone at my insurance company.

She said she was a nurse and was calling to offer support and another point of contact.

She wanted to walk through my entire medical history.

This is how bad the insurance companies have sullied their reputation: I refused because I couldn’t be sure she wouldn’t try to use what I said against me during my treatment.

Legal immigration into lynchpin sectors like tech and healthcare is even more dangerous than illegal immigration

It’s importing a foreign fifth column directly into your elite class that can hold the country hostage at any time

@JobsNowPaper 98% Foreign residents is the biggest FU to American kids in $300K+ student debt at 4% APR

[Highly Censored Steve @THEHCC]

There is a crisis in American medical training. A large portion of people training in American residency programs are foreign grads from countries like India and Pakistan, and most of them have fraudulent credentials.

According to annual data tracked by the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), foreign grads consistently make up roughly 23% to 25% of all incoming first-year doctors, filling nearly 10,000 slots per year.

In critical specialties like Internal Medicine, foreign grads regularly fill upwards of 42% to 44% of all first-year residency slots nationwide.

Even if they legitimately went to medical school and passed the exams, the massive quality gap in training and the severe language barrier are major problems for patient safety. Medical schools outside the United States are simply not the same as the schools here.

Now, widespread corruption is being exposed. In India, corrupt officials at medical schools are being paid bribes to manipulate data and falsely log that a person completed medical school when they never even attended. Former U.S. diplomat Mahvash Siddiqui released an investigation revealing that an estimated 80% to 90% of certain foreign visa applications contained fraudulent documentation or completely unqualified applicants.

This global credential pipeline has led to international authorities seizing over 100,000 forged diplomas stemming from 28 unaccredited or fraudulent universities in India that were utilized to secure medical and professional employment abroad.

It gets worse: the USMLE licensing exam can be taken overseas in India, and it is heavily cheated. The United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) program officially invalidated hundreds of test scores across India, Nepal, and Pakistan after an in-depth investigation uncovered a massive international cheating ring with rampant unauthorized access to secure exam content.

Furthermore, India’s Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has actively targeted thousands of individuals using entirely forged Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) certificates to bypass local screening tests and secure medical placements.

Federal funding for graduate medical education, primarily administered through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), is subject to ongoing review to ensure compliance with established educational standards.

With billions of taxpayer dollars flowing from Medicare to fund these residency slots, accountability is critical. Under the current federal focus on a government-wide war on fraud, Dr. Oz at CMS and leadership at the Department of Justice must get on this immediately and pivot their focus toward investigating the deep institutional corruption within foreign medical training pipelines.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just ruled 6-3 to ALLOW the Trump administration to use federal voter identification database to verify citizenship.

All illegal voters need to be REMOVED from the voter rolls.

The 3 liberal justices dissented, of course...

🚨#BREAKING Outrage is erupting after an 11-YEAR-OLD BOY was stopped by police, FINGERPRINTED, and ordered to court for riding his dirt bike to go FISHING...

...300 FEET FROM HIS OWN HOUSE!!!

They TOWED HIS BIKE with a city WRECKER.

An officer warned him he'd get a WARRANT if he didn't show up, he'll have to miss school for it.

His name is Cade, he's 11 years old, a sixth grader in Oviedo, Florida.

His dad helped him start a little summer business selling squirrel tables and Cade worked all summer long, he saved up $900 and he bought that bike himself.

An 11-year-old entrepreneur, in 2026.

We should be putting this kid on a FREAKING POSTER!!!!

On Labor Day, Cade grabbed his fishing pole and rode toward the pond at Sweetwater Park, he was on the shoulder of the road, about 300 FEET from his house.

Why not the sidewalk?

His answer: "If I go on the sidewalk, I can only go 10mph, and also it's going to scare the pedestrians."

An 11-year-old thinking about pedestrians' safety!

Then, an Oviedo police officer pulled him over.

Asked him for his license, his registration, his proof of insurance.

THE KID IS ELEVEN.

Then they fingerprinted him.

Wrote him a citation with a mandatory court date and told this little boy, on camera, "You have to show up, OK? Or they're going to put out a warrant for you."

Then they called in the city tow truck!!!!!!

His dad's words: "They called in the city wrecker for this little, tiny electric bike and winched it on up there."

Next Tuesday, Cade has to skip school to stand in front of a judge.

Yes TECHNICALLY the police have a point under Florida law, but where was the common sense?!!!!

Cade now says: "Now I'm kind of scared to ride my dirt bike."

A Virginia mom got a criminal record for letting her son walk to a pond, two little girls in Pennsylvania got hauled into court over a broken swing, and now an 11-year-old in Florida gets printed for riding to go fishing.

We are criminalizing childhood in this country.

Even THE TOWN MAYOR called Cade a "good kid." She's right.

...and for the love of God, somebody give this kid his bike back.

WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!

🚨 RUBIO JUST SAID THE NUMBER THEY NEVER WANTED ON TV 🚨

Americans work 40 years.
They retire.
Social Security: $800. $900. A thousand a month.

Somebody who got here from Cuba three months ago: $1,500 a month.

Marco Rubio said it out loud.

“So imagine if you’ve been working here for 40 years and your Social Security check is smaller than the benefits going to a 28-year-old, able-bodied person who just got here. That’s real. That happens. That’s happening every day. That makes no sense.”

You paid in.
They landed.
They beat your check.

That’s not compassion.
That’s a slap in the face with your own tax dollars.

LAWSUIT: Eight officers raided his home before dawn.

His offense? He filmed an officer speeding, criticized him when he got to a drive-thru, and embarrassed the department.

In a free country, criticizing police shouldn’t end in handcuffs.

In 2022, Joshua Gibbons filmed a Kingsport, Tennessee police SUV speeding without lights or sirens, violating state law.

He caught up with the officer at a drive-thru and had salty words about his disregard for the law.

That exchange lasted all of one minute. The consequences for Joshua lasted four years.

After someone complained about a different video — an officer flipping Gibbons off — police scoured Gibbons’ YouTube channel for ammunition.

Before dawn the next morning, while Gibbons was still in bed, eight armed officers raided his mother’s home to arrest him — for speeding using a cellphone while driving, and disorderly conduct.

A judge dismissed the speeding and cellphone charges but convicted him of disorderly conduct, saying he was “offended by the way” Gibbons was “talking to that officer.” Gibbons appealed. At a second trial, a jury again found him guilty.

In June, the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals unanimously reversed that conviction and dismissed the charge.

The court found “no evidence” that Gibbons’ criticism prevented anyone from doing anything lawful.

The court recognized — as many courts had held — that even “profane and insulting” words alone aren’t a crime, especially when directed at police officers, who are trained to exercise restraint.

With FIRE’s help, Gibbons is suing to vindicate his First Amendment rights.

The First Amendment protects your right to film and criticize police. Kingsport PD needs to hear that message loud and clear.

[Amy Curtis @RantyAmyCurtis]

This, by the way, is how the Left will ban homeschooling.

They won’t draft a piece of legislation that says “homeschooling is illegal” they will just create a world where you can’t get a job or go to college if you are homeschooled.

They will force parents’ hands.

[Jobs.Now @JobsNowPR]

Why does US law privilege foreigners over US citizens in every aspect of society?

[🌶️🏜️Rook🐉☄️ @Griot2325]

You know in times like these, I’m glad America has a strategic oil reserve just in case we ever have a fuel crisis. Surely nothing bad happened to it. I sure hope the last guy in charge didn’t do anything to it.

[Shazi @ShaziGoalie]

My son’s friend goes to Humber College and told me something today that floored me.

An instructor walked out of class and one of the students immediately stood up and said, “Did anybody understand what they just said?”

Nobody did.

He tells me 4 of his 6 instructors have English as a second language, and in several classes he struggles to clearly understand what is being taught.

Then you add instructors basically reading off PowerPoint slides and calling it teaching.

These kids are PAYING thousands of dollars for this.

Meanwhile, you can go on YouTube for free and find someone who has spent hours putting together a lesson, explains the material clearly, gives examples, and lets you replay anything you don't understand.

At some point higher education has to confront its value proposition.

If students are learning the material better from YouTube than inside the classroom they're paying thousands to attend, the model has a serious problem.

[Mr. Reply Guy @GenericSnarky]

They're calling it the most Indian comment ever made

[Mkschizo @Mkschizo2]

In a high trust society, if somebody scams you it is their fault.

In a low trust society, if someone scams you it's your fault.

This explains indian behavior perfectly.

During Covid, we didn’t just face a virus. We faced a wave of social pressure, moralization, censorship, and institutional defensiveness that tore families apart and broke trust. My new piece explores what really happened and why it still matters. https://t.co/YvwJJwwa4A

“To be Texas residents”

Do you find this to be an impressively high bar? If someone who’s here working a visa in Texas, their children would be considered Texas residents.

People keep parroting this fact like it somehow makes it impossible for foreigners to apply as Texas residents because their residence is currently in Texas

[Robert Kroese @robkroese]

Clearly we're not terrifying enough because we can't get anybody to fucking leave

@bluewmist Most fast food chains. The exorbitant price plus the wait plus the nickle-and-diming for every little thing. If I can't even justify non-healthy food by saying it's fast or it's cheap, I just won't eat it

Here’s the head of the Texas Medical Board @szaafran advising @MuslimHealth on how foreign medical students can get residency spots in America.
He describes collaborating with Greg Abbott on making a law to streamline the licensing process for foreign graduates in Texas.
