President Donald Trump on Friday signed a proclamation that will require a $100,000 annual visa fee for highly-skilled foreign workers and rolled out a $1 million “gold card” visa as a pathway to U.S. citizenship for wealthy individuals, moves that face near-certain legal challenges amid widespread criticism he is sidestepping Congress... H-1B visas, which require at least a bachelor’s degree, are meant for high-skilled jobs that tech companies find difficult to fill. Critics say the program is a pipeline for overseas workers who are often willing to work for as little as $60,000 annually, well below the $100,000-plus salaries typically paid to U.S. technology workers. https://apnews.com/article/h1b-visa-trump-immigration-8d39699d0b2de3d90936f8076357254e It's about time!!!

You just don't get it, do you? As long as there's a system that allows access to a pool of aliens, wages for workers will be depressed. We'll never know the fair value for their labor. At the least there should be imposed a living minimum wage and good working conditions that could offer a decent working life to Americans if they choose to do this work. What you want is a way to make sure that these jobs will never appeal to Americans..

At the heart of President Trump's program is the expulsion of illegal immigrants from America. Illegals are taking American jobs. Yet these crybabies want to have it both ways. They want to be treated as special. ‘The whole thing is screwed up’: Farmers in deep-red Pennsylvania struggle to find workers In Tioga County, where President Donald Trump won 75 percent of the vote in 2024, farmers are losing patience with the White House’s promise of a quick solution for farm workers. Their urgent need is highlighted by stories like those of a multigenerational dairy farm that sold off all its dairy cows because the owner could not find workers and another where a farmer’s job listings have received no responses... The whole thing is screwed up,” said John Painter, a three-time Trump voter who runs an organic dairy farm in Westfield. “We need people to do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do.” https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/15/farm-labor-shortage-pennsylvania-trump-immigration-00560820 Maybe if these crybaby farmers offered a decent wage and decent living conditions they wouldn't have a problem. And if that means higher prices for dairy products, so be it. Loyal Americans won't have a problem with that once they understand that it's the price we have to pay to give our fellow Americans good jobs.

So why the heck did Trump hire RFK in the first place? So we could surrender bodily autonomy to big Pharma? He shouldn't have poked his nose into Florida's business.

What you're saying clearly isn't believable. The media, particularly the alternate media, was flooded with nasty conspiracy theories and or allegations of a coverup. The only way you couldn't have encountered this stuff is if you were living in a cave.

"One of the most prevalent arguments being circulated by the Right in the name of Charlie Kirk -- that anyone who spouted demonizing rhetoric has his "blood on their hands" -- is a theory that Charlie himself not only repeatedly rejected, but vehemently denounced as dangerous.' https://x.com/ggreenwald/status/1966585040554394041 Charlie had no patience for anyone who practiced cancel culture. Left or right. MAGA Calls For Vengeance Following Charlie Kirk’s Killing In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s killing on Wednesday, right-wing commentators and activists pledged to avenge the act of violence and called for payback in explicit statements baselessly blaming “the left.” “Whether we want to accept it or not, they are at war with us. And what are we going to do about it?” Fox News host Jesse Watterssaid in a Wednesday segment. “How much political violence are we going to tolerate? https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/maga-calls-vengeance-following-charlie-042127234.html Charlie had no patience for anyone who practiced cancel culture. Right Seeks to Cancel Charlie Kirk Commenters for Wrongspeak People across the U.S. are facing disciplinary consequences for expressing views deemed offensive after the killing of conservative political commentator Charlie Kirk, who has been described by supporters as a model proponent of free speech. https://ca.news.yahoo.com/seeks-cancel-charlie-kirk-commenters-095548417.html

Hard for you to believe, maybe. But the fact that MAGA backers were crying what goes around comes around, shows their hypocrisy.

I did what I call an hypocrisy search. I decided to see how some right wingers on aseannow.com reacted to the assault on Nancy Pelosi's husband. You know, when the attacker told investigators that he couldn't find Nancy Pelosi, he attacked her husband instead. Unfortunately, the aseannow database isn't accessible that far back. So, instead, I searched for how right wingers reacted to the sentencing of the attacker. Not one of them could resist in using it to make statements that essentially said what goes around comes around or libeling her husband. Or both. So ashamed to be politically associated with these hypocrites.

More dishonesty from you. I've already show how women under Nazism were discriminated against in the educational field. Here's a quote from Hitler on the subject: September 1934 Speech to the National Socialist Women’s League: “The slogan ’emancipation of women’ was invented by Jewish intellectuals … If the man’s world is said to be the State … the woman’s is a smaller world. For her world is her husband, her family, her children, and her home. … Our women’s movement … has but one single point, and that point is the child…” https://alphahistory.com/nazigermany/hitler-on-the-role-of-women-1934/ Anybody who reads the whole speech which is linked to can see how dishonest your characterization of HItler's so-called feminism is.

You don't seem to understand the significance of this sentence: "Because of the preponderance of women in the electorate, the NSDAP received more votes from women than from men in some areas before 1932 and throughout the Reich in 1932."

In 1936, a law was passed banning certain high-level positions in the judicial system to women (notably judge and prosecutor, through Hitler's personal intervention[28]) and the medical field. Female doctors were no longer allowed to practice, until their loss had a harmful effect on health needs and some were recalled to work; also dissolved was the Association of Medical Women, which was absorbed into its male counterpart.[25 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_Nazi_Germany "In 1934, a Numerus Clausus was introduced to limit to ten percent the number of women in incoming university classes, reversing the trend in effect since 1918. In the years immediately after the Numerus Clausus, fifty percent of male Gymnasium graduates found places at the university but only one in seven female Gymnasium graduates did. The number of female university students nationwide fell drastically from 18,315 in the spring semester 1932 to 5,447 in 1939.

Richard Evans is just another revisionist historian? I guess you don't like him because he exposed the lies of David Irving, a holocaust denier. He is, in fact, one of the most distinguished historians of the Third Reich. And even if it was true that 50% of the vote for Nazis came from women, which it's not, the fact is that there were more women voters than men because WW1 resulted in a significant loss of the male population. Still waiting for evidence that it's "well documented".

Really? You call that quote of a politician by the distinguished historian Richard Evans as well documentd. Here's what Evans says: Richard Evans (1976, p. 157):

President Trump is imitating Chinese Communist Party by extending political control ever deeper into economy A generation ago conventional wisdom held that as China liberalized, its economy would come to resemble America’s. Instead, capitalism in America is starting to look like China. Recent examples include President Trump’s demand that Intel’s chief executive resign; the 15% of certain chip sales to China that Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices will share with Washington; the “golden share” Washington will get in U.S. Steel as a condition of Nippon Steel’s takeover; and the $1.5 trillion of promised investment from trading partners Trump plans to personally direct. This isn’t socialism, in which the state owns the means of production. It is more like state capitalism, a hybrid between socialism and capitalism in which the state guides the decisions of nominally private enterprises. https://www.wsj.com/economy/the-u-s-marches-toward-state-capitalism-with-american-characteristics-f75cafa8?mod=hp_lead_pos8 I'm all for the tariffs imposed by President Trump. But this approach threatens to undermine free enterprise in America.
