Is President Trump Betraying MAGA By Legalizing Illegals?
Now these MAGA geniuses have decided the older folks whose Medicare they took away with their crap bill, can replace the migrant workers! Yea, old mother Hubbard out picking strawberries so she can get some health care coverage. Incredible. Republican cruelty has no bounds. Three more years of these jerks and they are out. https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/08/politics/agriculture-secretary-medicaid-no-amnesty -

Is Peace Possible
Visiting Washington, Benjamin Netanyahu delighted in telling Donald Trump that he had nominated him for the Nobel peace prize. The Israeli prime minister cited Mr Trump’s efforts to end conflicts in the Middle East. But in truth he is grateful to the US president for joining his war against Iran last month and for allowing carnage in Gaza to continue after a brief pause. The Guardian view on Israel and Gaza: they make a desert and call it peace -

Is President Trump Betraying MAGA By Legalizing Illegals?
An interesting turn of words. Most countries in the developed world issue seasonal agriculture worker visas. The history behind these isn't to pull in cheap labour at the expense of local labour. Its about a reality that fruit etc needs to be picked within a narrow time frame, otherwise its worthless (rots in the fields), but there is a difficulty finding year around work for these "surge" agriculture workers. When economies were more agarian, this was a pretty normal set of circumstances; jobbing farm labourers moving around the country. In my family history, if I go back 2-300 years, thats all they were. And in Thailand, thats how many people, especially from the North, live their lives. Doesn't work so well in an industrialised society, because now you have permanent, salaried jobs, and actual careers. It was a tradition in the UK, following WW2, for such visas to be issued to Poles. Typically they were young people, attending agricultural college, and so a summer in UK, picking strawberries, hops etc would be considered a bit of their training. But such workers would never be "permanent". Sounds like they are creating some new category, akin to indentured workers, where they are not working out of choice, and tied to a single employer no matter what. -

Is Peace Possible
Emmanuel Macron pressed for recognition of Palestinian statehood in an address to the UK’s Parliament, saying it was the “only path to peace”. The French president said a ceasefire was a matter of “absolute urgency” and that a two-state solution would bring security to the region. He said: “We are aware that a political way out is crucial, and I believe in the future of the two-state solution as a basis for regional security architecture which will enable Israel to live in peace and security alongside its neighbours.
