Indian fraud in the US is worse for the simple reason that it results in many Americans losing their jobs. We’re not even getting the opportunity to have a good job.
I keep hearing these agitators talking about how there were no black people on the jury.
And that's true.
But here's what they don't mention. Originally there were several black candidate jurors, and reportedly at one of them said that they would, "have a hard time putting a brother in jail."
That's right. At least one of them explicitly said they would not be impartial as the law requires. It would be like if I (a white person) said I would have a hard time putting someone in jail if they were white. As if that's what matters. Did he do it? That's what matters.
You want more black people on juries? Then learn to be impartial. This isn't hard.
Medical Tuesday. Call to action.
If you have an International Medical Graduate (IMG), or any physician, who cannot communicate clearly with you or your family, seems unqualified, or practices in a way that feels unsafe, report it.
Here is exactly where to send it:
• Your State Medical Board
This is the licensing authority that can investigate, discipline, or revoke a license.
Find yours here:
https://t.co/i6gRurNZOD
Additional places to report:
• The hospital or clinic’s patient safety / risk management office
They are required to investigate complaints involving patient safety.
• Your state Department of Health
• CMS / Medicare complaints
1-800-MEDICARE
You do not need to be a lawyer or prove a lawsuit.
A clear, factual written complaint is enough.
Document:
• Dates
• What happened
• Communication problems
• Safety concerns
• Statements made by staff
• Anything involving qualifications or supervision
There needs to be real scrutiny of experience, competency, and whether uniform standards are actually being applied.
Too many people walk out angry, or simply tolerate poor care without reporting it.
Patient safety matters more than protecting a two-tier system.
Comment below if you have experienced this yourself.
American patients deserve competent care from physicians who can clearly communicate with them.
En la Antigua Grecia, se prohibía a los esclavos hacer ejercicio para que no se fortalecieran lo suficiente como para rebelarse.
A los gladiadores romanos se les alimentaba con cebada y frijoles para mantenerlos grandes, pero lentos, de modo que no pudieran conquistar a sus amos.
En el Imperio Otomano, se prohibía beber café para que los ciudadanos no se rebelaran.
A los esclavos espartanos se les dejaba deliberadamente con poca comida y se les sobrecargaba de trabajo para prevenir rebeliones.
En la Europa feudal, a los campesinos se les daba pan y avena, mientras que los nobles se daban banquetes de carne roja.
Controlar a una población comienza con la comida y el ejercicio.
¿Entiendes lo que está pasando hoy en día, verdad?
President Trump, sir, respectfully, I am asking you to immediately suspend all Work Visas by your authority as the executive in light of the courts ruling on the H-1B $100k fee. As I said before, we need you to stop the Work Visas entirely because this is hurting U.S. citizen wages and income. Foreigners access to U.S. jobs is not more important than U.S. citizens! Majority of Work Visas are in Information Technology and it’s destroying U.S. citizens from getting IT jobs! U.S. citizens cant feed their families. Suspend all Work Visas!

There is a very simple truth that you are going to need to accept, or surrender any hope of a return to civilization.
It's not mental illness.
The left isn't disavantaged, or aggrieved, or victims of the ism du jour.
They are shameless and unafraid. They are unafraid because they have incrementally corrupted the system at all levels. They do not fear the justice of the system, because they are the system.
I wrote much more, but that's the meat of it, and this can be applied equally to the local thug and Senate Majority Leader alike.
They act as they do, because they do not fear consequences.
My father was a scientist who spent a lot of time doing spinal cord injury research, along with assisting neurosurgeons in the operating room while they did brain surgery. I wish he was still alive to see this.
Dad passed in 2024.

La storia è stata appena scritta nelle sale operatorie del Centro Medico Ichilov di Israele 🇮🇱 e l'intero mondo medico è in stato di puro stupore.
I chirurghi hanno realizzato ciò che una volta sembrava impossibile: rimuovere un tumore cerebrale raro senza aprire la testa.
Attraverso un approccio transorbitale di punta - entrando con precisione
attraverso la gola ocularia utilizzando robot avanzati e endoscopia - loro hanno escisso completamente la crescita.
Nessuna craniotomia.
Nessuna cicatrice massiva.
Solo innovazione pura, maestria e mani stabili.
Ouesto non è solo una vittoria per la scienza; è un testimonianza profonda del rifiuto dell'umanità di accettare i limiti.
Mentre il mondo si concentra sulla divisione, la medicina israeliana ci ricorda cosa può realizzare la chiarezza morale e l'eccellenza scientifica: vite salvate, futuro ripristinato e speranza data ai pazienti di tutto il mondo.
Israele non innova solo sotto pressione - le sue innovazioni sono da sempre disponibili per l'intera umanità.
Orgogliosi oltre le parole.
Am Yisrael Chai.

Dennis Ritchie invented C in 1972, co-built Unix in 1969, and his code is running inside every device you are reading this on right now and the colleague who announced his death had to do it through a Google+ post because no journalist thought to check.
He worked at Bell Labs in New Jersey for 44 years. He never gave a keynote. He never ran a company. He never appeared on a magazine cover. He just wrote code that became the invisible foundation everything else is built on.
Here is what he actually built, and why it matters more than almost anything that happened in tech.
In 1969, Bell Labs had just walked away from one of the most ambitious computing projects in history. The Multics project, a joint effort between MIT, Bell Labs, and General Electric, had collapsed under its own weight. Too complex. Too expensive. Too slow. Bell Labs pulled out.
Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie refused to let the ideas die.
Working in a small office in Murray Hill, New Jersey, Thompson wrote the first version of Unix in three weeks during the summer of 1969. One week for the file system. One week for the process management. One week for the command shell. Ritchie was working alongside him, and when the system needed a language that could express what they were building, he built one.
In 1972 he completed C.
C was not just another programming language. It was a different philosophy about what a programming language should be. Before C, most systems code was written in assembly, which meant every program was tied to the specific hardware it ran on. You could not move code between machines. You rewrote it from scratch every time.
C changed that. It sat close enough to the hardware to be fast, but abstract enough to run on anything. When Thompson rewrote the Unix kernel in C in 1973, it became the first operating system that could be picked up and moved to a completely different machine without starting over. Portability was a new idea. Ritchie made it real.
The branching that followed is almost impossible to overstate.
Unix spread from Bell Labs to universities. At Berkeley, it became BSD. BSD became the foundation of macOS and iOS. Unix influenced Linus Torvalds, who built Linux in 1991. Linux now runs every Android phone, every major web server, every supercomputer on the Top500 list, and the overwhelming majority of cloud infrastructure at AWS, Google, and Microsoft.
C became the parent language of C++, Java, JavaScript, Python, and Objective-C. Rob Pike, who worked across the hall from Ritchie at Bell Labs for 20 years, said it plainly: "The browsers are written in C. The Unix kernel that the entire internet runs on is written in C. Web servers are written in C, and if they're not, they're written in Java or C++, which are C derivatives, or Python or Ruby, which are implemented in C."
Ritchie won the Turing Award in 1983. He won the National Medal of Technology in 1998, presented by President Clinton. He was head of System Software Research at Bell Labs for decades.
He answered emails from strangers with technical questions until the end of his life. His home address stayed listed in the phone book. His colleague Brian Kernighan, who co-authored the definitive C textbook with him, said Ritchie was a private person who did no self-salesmanship. That was not false modesty. It was just who he was.
He died on October 12, 2011, at his home in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. He was 70. He had been ill for some time. The world did not notice until Rob Pike posted a quiet announcement on Google+, and the news spread through the programming community in hushed tones.
No front pages. No tributes from heads of state. No candlelight vigils outside corporate campuses.
The device you are reading this on runs code that traces directly back to what he built. So does the server that delivered it to you. So does the browser or app you opened to get here.
Most people will never know his name.
The ones who built everything you use every day do.
I like loading black powder shotgun shells because it's very easy and requires very minimal tools -- a punch to decap spent shells, a mallet, and a block of wood with a hole drilled in it to let the old primer out. You also need a powder measure and when using black powder it's best to do a "square load," i.e., the same volume of powder and shot.
You can put in a new primer by placing it on a metal surface then driving the case down onto it with a dowel.
Loading is simple: primer, black powder, over powder nitro card, cushion wad, shot, over shot card held in place with glue.
The ammo works find in manually operated shotguns and I've seen video of it being used in recoil operated semiautos. Don't use it in gas operated semiautos because the gas system will foul within a few shots.
Today I got an email from Old Western Scrounger, who apparently got in some Russian-made Baikal shotguns. I have a Baikal IZH-27 over/under 12 gauge that I bought before COVID. It's been a solid gun that's I've shot sporting clays with, and also some informal trap with.
In the pic it's next to some black powder handloads in Magtech all-brass hulls, during an informal session up at a friend's property in north-central PA. The Baikal's chrome lined bores make cleanup easier after shooting black powder.
I'll post a link to OWS as a reply.
