Leaked recording of Xavier Becerra at HHS under Biden saying he was putting illegal migrant children “in an assembly line”

He clearly says the American people will be upset knowing how much Democrats were spending on children who shouldn’t even be here in America, and he’s instructing his staff to place them as quickly as they can without doing the proper checks

How is this guy not rotting in prison

“This is not the way you do an assembly line”

“We need to get discharges up — Every time we have to go to the Hill and explain why we're spending so much money when most people are struggling to spend a little bit of money for their kids on a daily basis, we try to explain how we're spending more than $1,000 a day for kids who may not even have the legal right to be here”

This is your reminder he was also called out in official testimony for placing children with sponsors using strip clubs as addresses

Arrest him

The Republican Senate just performed its own public execution in a hotel ballroom in Rapid City and then had the audacity to act surprised when the body twitched.

They did not simply deny Scott Presler entry to their little donor dinner at the South Dakota state convention.

They revealed the clinical truth of what they have become: a cartel of status-anxious narcissists so pathologically terrified of autonomous effectiveness on their own side that they will slam the door on the single most productive grassroots operative this movement has fielded in a generation rather than risk him demanding they actually do the job they were sent to Washington to perform.

This was not an administrative fuck-up.

This was a calculated act of social dominance…a textbook display of malignant group pathology in which the only acceptable response to loyalty that becomes demanding is erasure and humiliation.

The message they broadcast was not subtle.

It was neurological.

It was delivered straight into the attachment systems of every volunteer, every small-dollar donor, every door-knocker who still believed the Republican Party existed to fight rather than to manage.

Shut the fuck up.

Know your place.

We do not work for you.

We work for the donor calendar, the cocktail circuit, the administrative-state equilibrium that keeps our sinecures intact.

Your effort, your results, your inconvenient insistence on proof-of-citizenship and borders that actually function are now classified as threats to our comfort.

The base is no longer an asset to be mobilized. It is a liability to be contained.

This is betrayal trauma made visible and it carries a clinical cost these cowards have not begun to calculate.

Trust does not erode under these conditions.

It calcifies into something colder, more precise, more lethal.

The high-agency citizens who built the turnout machines are not becoming more moderate.

They are becoming more diagnostic. They are running new simulations in which the men in bespoke suits are no longer allies who occasionally disappoint.

They are obstacles that must be removed or bypassed if anything resembling the republic is to survive.

History has already written the next chapter for men who mistake their insulation for invulnerability.

The Roman optimates told the populares to sit down and accept their station.

The French aristocracy responded to the cahiers de doléances with procedural contempt and donor-class disdain.

The British Tories spent a generation triangulating while assuring their base that the institutions still functioned.

Every single time the result was the same: the base did not become more compliant.

It became more accurate in its assessment of who actually serves whom.

The Senate Republicans who participated in or permitted this public degradation of Scott Presler have just accelerated that process by years.

They have handed the base fresh data and fresh rage wired directly into the nervous system.

They will not sleep cleanly again.

Every future closed-door meeting, every donor dinner, every primary challenge will carry the ghost of that slammed door in Rapid City.

The calculation has changed.

The men who thought they could silence the most effective soldier on their own side without consequence have just taught the entire base a lesson in institutional betrayal that no amount of campaign rhetoric can unteach.

The full forensic dissection of this pathology…the neurological rewiring, the historical pattern, the terminal arrogance of a leadership class that fears its own base more than it fears the enemy…is now live.

Read it. Let it cut.

The reckoning they triggered is no longer theoretical.

It is already counting.

Friday Night Reality Check for Boomers

The Truth About Who Replaced American Workers

You were told Boomers ruined the job market. That is a lie.

The real story is written in federal laws, corporate lobbying, and visa programs designed to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor. Here are the names, dates, and companies behind it.

In 1990 Senator Ted Kennedy and President George H. W. Bush created the modern H-1B program through the Immigration Act of 1990. It opened the door for companies to legally replace American workers. It was sold as modernization. It was the moment corporate America realized it could cut wages forever.

In 1998 and 2000 Congress raised the H-1B caps again after heavy lobbying from Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. They claimed there were not enough American workers. That was not true. They wanted cheaper workers who could not quit.

In 2009 President Barack Obama approved the STEM OPT extension. It gave foreign graduates up to three years of work in the U.S. with no cap. American students were forced to compete against workers subsidized by their own government.

In 2014 the administration created H-4 work permits without a vote from Congress. It allowed spouses of H-1B holders to enter the labor market. This doubled the pipeline and pushed out even more Americans.

The companies that benefited the most included Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, Accenture, and HCL. They took over entire departments inside major U.S. corporations. They imported their own workers. They pushed out Americans. They were sued repeatedly for discrimination. They paid fines. They kept going.

Disney made Americans train their own replacements.
Southern California Edison fired 256 Americans in one wave.
AT&T fired Americans during record profits.
Walmart eliminated U.S. tech staff but kept visa contractors.
Boeing outsourced critical engineering work.

The politicians who protected this system included Senator John McCain, Senator Lindsey Graham, Senator Chuck Schumer, and Representative Zoe Lofgren. Each received heavy support from corporations that demanded more visa workers. Each ignored the impact on American families.

None of this was caused by Boomers.

Boomers built the industries these companies later gutted. Boomers paid the taxes that funded the schools that trained the workers who replaced their own children. Boomers carried this country for decades while globalists cashed in.

The truth is simple.

Boomers did not break America.

Globalists did.

Now you know exactly who.

[XBradTC @xbradtc]

So, here's the deal on GEN Donahue retiring- without all the handwringing.

Three and four star generals, across the Department of War (or Defense, if you insist) and the other uniformed services, all gain and hold that rank based not on a regular promotion, but rather based upon the billet within the department that they hold.

The jobs that call for a three star, or a four star, are essentially subcabinet positions, in that they require a nomination by the President, and confirmation by the Senate.

GEN Donahue was serving as the commander of US Army Europe-Africa, a four star billet. Prior to 2020, the command was split into US Army Europe (USAEUR), and for Africa, the Southern European Task Force, Africa. Both were three star billets.

After 2020, the two commands were merged, and made a four star command.

But this year, with the increased emphasis on the Pacific, the command has been transitioned to a three star command.

Now, GEN Donahue, by law, cannot continue to serve more than 90 days as a four star unless he is assigned to a four star billet. His choices are rather stark. If he is not reassigned to another four star billet, he can retire as a four star, with the retirement pay of a four star. Or, should he choose to serve longer than 90 days, outside of a billet requiring three or four stars, he would revert to Major General, with the corresponding decrease in pay.

It's entirely reasonable for a person in that situation to chose to retire at the higher pay grade.

This is not punitive. It's simply not being selected for another position. There were only 8 statutorily authorized Army four star billets and now that total will be 7.

Not every four star will be chosen to advance. This isn't the Trump administration firing a dedicated and decorated officer for not being Trumpy enough.

Trump selecting him for Chief of Staff of the Army (or Vice Chief) was far from a foregone conclusion. If you've got eight, or sixteen job applicants, and they're all qualified, and all capable of doing the job, sometimes, you, as President, have an obligation to choose those candidates that you feel will best fulfill your strategic objectives of the Army. That's the prerogative of the President. And, like it or not, there's no asterisk by Trump's name. He is the President of the United States.

It is as much about surviving in the First Circuit long enough to get past the 2026 election -- without SCOTUS stepping in.

They were certain to draw a friendly judge in Boston, and they are certain to draw a friendly panel in the First Circuit -- there are only 2 GOP appointed Judges out of 11, and one of them is Senior Status.

Very very long odds that they would get the one Trump appointee AND the GWB Senior Judge together.

The Admin is going to appeal, but the First Circuit will likely slow-walk the appeal until it is too late for 2026 -- unless SCOTUS steps in.

[Brivael Le Pogam @brivael]

Le monde occidental n’est pas « sous domination communiste » au sens du XXe siècle. Il n’y a ni Goulag ni Gosplan.

Pourtant, une idéologie collectiviste et globaliste a capturé une grande partie de nos institutions, de nos élites et de nos imaginaires collectifs.

Au nom de valeurs universelles (climat, diversité, droits humains, gouvernance mondiale), des pans entiers de souveraineté ont été transférés à des instances supranationales, des traités internationaux, des agences administratives et des réseaux d’influence qui échappent au contrôle démocratique des peuples.

Nos gouvernements n’ont pas été « vendus » dans un sens criminel : ils ont intégré une vision du monde dans laquelle l’État-nation est considéré comme une relique dangereuse et où la légitimité du pouvoir se trouve de plus en plus en dehors des frontières.

Ce qu’on appelle aujourd’hui « extrême droite » n’est pas une idéologie extrémiste. C’est la réaction naturelle d’hommes et de femmes attachés au bon sens, à la liberté concrète et à la préservation de leur cadre de vie.

Des citoyens qui refusent que des bureaucrates à Bruxelles, à l’ONU ou à

Davos décident à leur place :

• qui entre sur leur territoire,
• ce qu’ils ont le droit de dire,
• quel modèle économique et culturel ils doivent accepter.

On les combat avec une telle violence précisément parce qu’ils représentent le dernier obstacle à l’achèvement d’un projet de dissolution des souverainetés nationales au profit d’une gouvernance globalisée. Un projet qui, sous les oripeaux du progressisme et de la « responsabilité mondiale », conduit mécaniquement à plus de contrôle centralisé, moins de responsabilité démocratique et une homogénéisation forcée des peuples.

Nationalisme = affirmation que la souveraineté appartient aux citoyens d’une nation et que la liberté s’exerce d’abord à l’intérieur d’un cadre politique concret et contrôlable.

Globalisme / Communisme culturel = dissolution progressive des frontières, des identités et des responsabilités au profit de structures opaques et de normes imposées d’en haut.

Ce n’est pas une question de « gentils » contre « méchants ». C’est une question d’idées.

Des idées collectivistes qui, appliquées à grande échelle dans des systèmes complexes, produisent invariablement les mêmes résultats : perte de cohésion sociale, insécurité, appauvrissement relatif des classes populaires, et concentration du pouvoir entre les mains de ceux qui maîtrisent les leviers supranationaux.

L’histoire ne se répète jamais à l’identique. Mais les logiques profondes — effacement de l’individu et de la nation au nom d’un bien collectif abstrait — restent les mêmes.

Et c’est exactement pour cela que la défense de la souveraineté nationale et des libertés concrètes est aujourd’hui diabolisée avec une telle intensité : elle est le seul rempart encore debout contre une forme de contrôle qui n’a plus besoin de chars pour avancer.

[FischerKing @FischerKing64]

I took a look at this. It's a good outcome, but let me fill you in on a few facts so you understand how crazy it is that we had to litigate this at all.

In 2016, there was such a huge surge of migrants on the border that DHS couldn't possibly process them all. So it set limits, and would allow a small number into the US each day to be processed, and those people could then start the process of requesting asylum. The people standing at the border who couldn't get processed right away then filed a class action lawsuit, claiming their "rights" were violated. The District Court agreed with them, and the Ninth Circuit affirmed.

So our courts ruled that migrants - people who are not citizens of the United States - can use American law to sue the American government basically to let them in. That's a little simplified but more or less the case.

The statutory issue is when a migrant can be considered to have "arrived in the US." The lower courts held that a migrant has "arrived" the moment he reaches the border and has any contact with US border patrol. So when an agent STOPS someone from entering, the District Court and the Ninth Circuit ruled that the migrant had in fact "arrived" in the USA, such that he can take advantage of our laws and sue our government.

That is the madness that SCOTUS put a stop to today. Keep in mind also that this lawsuit has been going on since 2017. So for nearly 10 years, we have wasted resources to get a SCOTUS ruling that is just basic common sense.

[US 🇺🇸 @ViaUSWorkers]

Laid off in a group of 7 Americans and replaced by H-1B workers from India. No WARN notice because it was under the threshold.

Felt like it never happened. Small layoffs like this slip through the cracks while companies continue hiring foreign labor.

Time to strengthen worker protections and close these loopholes. #WARN #H1B

If you’re interested in the future of mining or energy you need to stop here and make sure you understand the implications here . I-Pulse technology changes everything

The semiconductors I-Pulse is developing under today’s announced $250 million award are high-temperature, high-performance silicon-carbide (SiC) based components, specifically high-current, high-voltage solid-state switches and related packaging/capacitors. These are not standard chips. They are specialized power electronics engineered to survive and operate in extreme conditions (high heat, mechanical shock, high voltage/current) where conventional silicon semiconductors would fail.

Their core purpose is to enable I-Pulse’s proprietary pulsed power technology at commercial scale.

Pulsed power is the third and most efficient way to use electrical energy, we had AC , DC and now “pulse”. It works by taking a small amount of stored energy and repeatedly compressing/releasing it in extremely short, powerful bursts (e.g., cell-phone-battery-scale energy released at nuclear-plant-equivalent power levels in under 10 millionths of a second). Yeah I said nuclear power plant output from an iPhone battery for a minuscule amount of time .

Deep Geothermal Drilling is a game changer . It’ll rival nuclear or ellipse nuclear .

How it works: The high-temperature SiC switches deliver extremely high-power electrical pulses to hot granite and other geothermal formations ahead of the drill bit. These pulses fracture and soften the rock, dramatically increasing drilling speed , depth and cost
Outcome = Massively reduced drilling costs which is the biggest barrier to deep geothermal development. This unlocks the world’s untapped hot dry rock geothermal resources for next-generation advanced geothermal power plants. It being on par with Nuclear

Why it matters: Geothermal provides 24/7 baseload, dispatchable, secure, low-cost, carbon-free power (unlike intermittent solar/wind). re industrial.

It’s literally using the earth as a nuclear power plant -we have unlimited solar energy and we have unlimited earth heat , high-temperature semiconductors and capacitors are required for this new hyper disruptive drilling technology to function in extreme downhole conditions.
Other Applications Enabled by These Semiconductors a also revolutionary

Mining & Critical Minerals : Pulsed power rock breaking/crushing (more energy-efficient, potentially higher recovery rates by fracturing along mineral boundaries).

Defense Systems : High-power pulsed applications in harsh conditions.

Manufacturing, Disruptive high-speed/precision welding, metal-forming, and crimping at industrial scale.

Mineral & Water Exploration : Non-invasive high-definition detection methods.

Agriculture : Crop protection applications. Electrical herbicide , easy to apply to broad acre crops and more effective than chemicals

Future/Long-term — Efficient high-power systems for space colonization (Moon/Mars), as noted in the release.
Strategic & National Impact (Per the CHIPS Award)

If we can accelerate zero carbon geothermal globally it’ll literally change the world as much as technology we have seen in civilisation to date .
