We are planning a legal action but need two more people to sign on from the following towns in Texas (Beaumont, Lufkin, Marshall, Sherman, Texarkana, Tyler, and Plano). They can be: 1)Seniors in college, who are having difficulty securing full-time work (or even an internship); 2)Recent college graduates, who are having difficulty finding work; 3)Recently discharged veterans who are having difficulty finding work. Please have them reach out to me for more information. I promise it will be worth their while.

I guess @BenShapiro did a monologue last week in which he said tariffs, not foreign policy, are causing affordability problems and driving down President Trump's popularity. So I made a video. If you watch carefully, you _may_ be able to see what caused inflation to spike...

How are they still getting government grants to assist with what is widely regarded as bad policy?
🚨 Three months of FREE RENT. A security deposit. Monthly gift cards until food stamps kick in. That’s the offer to Afghan families relocating to St. Louis through the International Institute of St. Louis. The organization’s broader plan? Reshape the city’s demographic future through more immigrant resettlement—to “reverse decades of population decline.” This nonprofit reported $33.3 MILLION in government grants in 2024. Its strategic blueprint also calls for funding changes to “insulate the agency from political and economic circumstances”—while “shaping the public discourse around immigration.”

One would hope so.
This is false. No one is off the table. We will continue to arrest any and all illegal aliens that come into our path. Anyone in our country illegally will be arrested and deported. In an effort to protect American citizens, ICE has initiated a nationwide public safety surge in sanctuary cities where our brave officers will be targeting criminal illegal aliens—many released from jails by sanctuary politicians—including murderers, rapists, child predators, and gang members.

Congratulations to our Research Analyst Brian Dan-Ding, whose article "The Rise and Fall of The H-1B Visa" was published in the Winter edition of American Affairs Journal. If you're curious how the H-1B Visa became a funnel for cheap foreign labor to displace America's white-collar professional workers, this painstakingly researched article delivers the "receipts."

Amazing!
NOBODY tells Americans this part of the story. March 11, 2011. A black, 30-foot wall of ocean swallowed Northeast Japan. Our government froze. The Pentagon had no orders. Communications were dead. You know what Captain Thom Burke and Rear Admiral Robert Girrier did on the USS Ronald Reagan? They didn't wait for the White House. They didn't wait for paperwork. They looked at the TV screen, saw their friend drowning, and committed the ultimate military sin: UNAUTHORIZED ADVANCE. “We’re going. NOW.” They turned the massive nuclear carrier full throttle straight into the disaster zone. Then came the hydrogen explosions at Fukushima. Radiation plumes drifted across the Pacific. Every foreign embassy told their citizens: RUN. The US Embassy ordered an evacuation zone: STAY 50 MILES AWAY. Did the Ronald Reagan turn around? DID YOUR SAILORS RUN? NOT. ONE. INCH. Nineteen-year-old kids from Texas and Ohio stood on a freezing flight deck, radiation detectors in hand, launching helicopters into blizzards. They hovered over submerged rooftops, pulling shivering mothers and babies out of the black water. When Japanese refugees were brought aboard shivering in shock, your sailors gave up their own warm bunks and slept on the cold steel floor. While the rest of the world ran away from Japan, AMERICA CHARGED STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRE. You didn't do it for a treaty. You didn't do it for politicians. You saw your friend bleeding, and you kicked the doors down to save us. Happy 250th, America. Japan will remember your boys forever. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

This is why we shouldn't resettle refugees except in the most extreme circumstances.
Syrian refugees can return to Syria now that the war is over. And indeed large numbers of them do. Among those who stayed in the Middle East. But almost none of those from Europe. The reason for this is that we in Europe pay them very large amounts of money to finance them staying in Europe. If we simply financed them returning home to Syria instead, they would do that. If our politicians weren't so utterly useless, this would be an immediately obvious policy. Let's help them return home, instead of paying them large amounts of money to get them to stay here.

Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril, on why America needs to protect its innovations from China 🇺🇸🇨🇳 “We cannot beat China with 500 million Americans. It will never happen. Our only hope for some kind of systematic advantage against China is in innovation. Patents are Chinese instruction manuals. You’re taking your most valuable stuff. The Founders never predicted a world where you would have a globalized economy, where the entire patent office could be downloaded every single morning and then ripped off and used to fight a war against you. Western companies think that you can trade temporary exclusivity on an idea in exchange for eventually entering the public domain. All that really means in practice is that for 20 years, somebody can rip it off right away, and Western companies can only rip it off after 20 years. Then you repeat this cycle over and over again for every single generation, and it’s killing us. We need to really fundamentally revisit the patent system. I think, for example, a lot of things around artificial intelligence are of national-security importance. They should be allowed to get a patent, and it should absolutely not be disclosed publicly.”

“In particular, the Census Bureau finds merit in the interpretive argument outlined above and has preliminarily determined that, under the best reading of the Constitutional mandate, illegal aliens (among others) should not be included in the apportionment count, as they are not true inhabitants, members of the body politic, or persons with a “usual residence” in the United States due to their lack of a sufficient tie and allegiance to the United States.”

“If the economy is growing strong, per the Atlanta Fed's GDP Now (salt to taste), then a massive US PMI beat across the board is predictable. And since there is no global economy without the US economy, US growth is good for everyone, except the sclerotic old colonial powers of Europe and their third-worlder quislings who profit off of our industrioiusness.”
Market Report 9-23-2026: An Offramp to Gaslighting It's always hilarious to watch markets go through a cover for action moment when it gets data it wasn't expecting. This morning we watched a massive 10-12 basis point sell off in sovereign debt because the US PMI data came in way above expectations. We have been so thoroughly gaslit into believing the basic story that "Growth is bad" that any inkling of hope we have for a better future must be smashed out of us by the anticipation of future central bank action. And that's exactly what this bond sell off this morning was; a glimmer of hope crushed under the maleducation of bond traders the world over. Because the US PMI data was so good that means that the economy (or energy cost push inflation) is running hot and therefore the central banks will be forced (FORCED, THEY SAY!) to raise interest rates further to quell that inflation. But, as we just saw interest rates and gas prices have literally nothing to do with each other, but because we've been gaslit by grifters and thieves posing as our wise and insouciant leaders who have all gathered at the ultimate conference of such grifters, the UNGA, we have to be punished for our virtue of trying to produce real wealth. If the economy is growing strong, per the Atlanta Fed's GDP Now (salt to taste), then a massive US PMI beat across the board is predictable. And since there is no global economy without the US economy, US growth is good for everyone, except the sclerotic old colonial powers of Europe and their third-worlder quislings who profit off of our industrioiusness. You know what I say to that? Bullshit! How about the simpler model is at play. The US dollar liquidity squeeze is happening this week because Japan has been offline since Friday and we're starting to see what the world needs to do to get those dollars when they can't get them by proxy through their yen carry trades. Meanwhile, Trump went to said Convocation of Third World Grifters and told them the gravy train is empty, the rivers of liquidity and prosperity flow through our borders, not yours and you can join us or be left behind. Greenland and Denmark got the message. Hey Canadia, elbows up, eh?! patreon.com/GoldGoatsNGuns/p…

Tried to pass the Voter ID component of the SAVE America Act today. Democrats objected—not on the merits of the bill, but because “we’re too close to the election,” and then tried to change the subject to tariffs. It’s terrifying that Senate Dems are terrified by Voter ID.

“Trust me, bro” is no basis for a system of government. That’s why Americans demand voter ID.

One day left to comment on the proposed $103,265 H-1B fee. It is still not law. Do not confuse it with the vacated $100k proclamation payment.

Our latest Substack is a must read for anyone wanting greater insight as to what President Trump's administration is doing with regard to employment visas and work authorizations. The sermon in Saturday's newsletter scratched the surface on this topic and left many of our readers wanting more detail. Enjoy! ifspp.substack.com/p/the-wil…

How can Congress just sit there, feckless, in the face of this!
This is only the beginning. Suicidal immigration policies allow scammers like this to exploit America’s generosity for the benefit of foreign adversaries like the Chinese Communist Party. Prohibiting birth tourism in any form should be a top national security priority.
