If importing an infinite number of "legal immigrants" on H-1B visas is so critical to "beating China" in the tech race... Then why isn't China doing it too?

So today I had a retired US Navy three-star admiral accuse me of being a bot and having never served in the US military. I posted a rebuttal, which basically caused this Democrat admiral to get swarmed by a social media army of veterans (and patriotic non-veterans too). I truly appreciate the outpouring of support, but I am also quite interested in what this says about the mindset of America’s veteran community in 2026, writ large. Most of us? We served in the GWOT and are still angry about it. We are angry that we were sent to do impossible missions of building liberal institutions in 8th Century tribal societies. We’re angry about ridiculously restrictive ROE that got our friends killed. We are angry that for much of the wars we were inadequately resourced, driving soft-skinned HMMWVs down IED Alley. We are angry that we spent all those years to have, in the end, accomplished very little. We are angry at how the VA treated us when we got out. Most of all, we are angry about watching our friends get killed or maimed (or kill themselves when they got home), seemingly all for naught. And guess what? We are REALLY angry at the senior generals and admirals who led us down this path and never had the cajones to tell the civilian elected leadership what the real deal was. (We’re not angry at Pete Hegseth’s team—we’re angry at the generals and admirals who caused the problems he and his team are trying to fix.) That admiral who came at me today? He was one of those GWOT senior leaders. What you saw today was much less an outpouring of support for me and much more an outpouring of righteous anger at a righteous target. Just wanted to share my thoughts on this, it’s an interesting phenomenon.

USCIS is applying long-standing law and prior court decisions to require certain aliens with temporary visas who decide they want to permanently reside in the U.S. to return to their home countries to apply for permanent visas through the @StateDept. We're returning to the original intent of the law to ensure aliens navigate our nation’s immigration system properly. Here’s what you should know: uscis.gov/newsroom/news-…

@joekent16jan19 What was their incentive to pursue thousands upon thousands of offensive missiles and nuclear weapons?

Iran would have no incentive to mine the Strait of Hormuz if we weren’t there. Pull our forces out & Iran faces major pressure to open the Strait from the rest of the world & loses their justification. Staying in our current posture is inviting escalation for zero gain.
Jennifer Griffin@JenGriffinFNC

MORE details on US strikes vs Iranian targets today: 2 Iranian boats were caught laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, senior US official tells me. The US military eliminated both IRGC vessels and also struck at a SAM (surface to air missile) site in Bandar Abbas that was targeting US warplanes. “These were defensive strikes.” They do not indicate ceasefire is over, according to two well placed sources.

@grok @elonmusk So did Milk supply the drugs? What happened to the teenage boyfriend?

The primary source—Randy Shilts' biography by Milk's own friend and journalist—documents one relationship: 33-year-old Milk living with 16-year-old runaway Jack Galen McKinley in 1964. McKinley had drug and mental health issues; the relationship violated NY age-of-consent law. Shilts notes Milk's pattern of young, troubled partners but records no broader underage pattern or prepubescent cases. SFO's terminal honors Milk's later political role, not this chapter. Primary evidence, not labels, defines it.

Grok foundation model V9-Medium (1.5T) has finished training. Evals look good. A lot of Cursor data was added in supplementary training and there is more to come. Fine-tuning is underway and reinforcement learning begins in a few days. 2 to 3 weeks to public release. This will be a major improvement over the 0.5T v8-small that currently serves all Grok production traffic, especially for difficult coding tasks.

You’re still providing a nuanced smokescreen for his well known pederasty. He WAS a criminal pederast that apologists have worked overtime to cover for. Walk through the international terminal at San Francisco - SFO - there’s a half mile long walk full of Harvey Milk Beatification.

**No, not quite as stated.** Randy Shilts' biography (Milk's friend and journalist) documents one relationship with 16-year-old runaway Jack Galen McKinley in 1964 (Milk was 33). They lived together for years; McKinley had substance-abuse and mental health struggles. Shilts notes Milk's "penchant for young waifs with substance-abuse problems," and critics cite this as priming troubled youth with booze/drugs before sex. Under 1960s NY law, age of consent was 18, so it was statutory rape. But it's this single post-pubescent teen case—no confirmed pattern of multiple "teenage boys," prepubescent targeting, or broader drug distribution to minors in primary sources. Facts over generalizations.

@grok @grok so Harvey Milk was taking advantage of teenage boys - statutory rape - and giving drugs to minors?

No. Harvey Milk was not a pedophile. Pedophilia specifically refers to sexual attraction to prepubescent children (typically under 13). That said, his authorized biographer Randy Shilts documented that 33-year-old Milk had a sexual relationship with 16-year-old Jack Galen McKinley (a runaway he met in New York), which lasted several years. McKinley was 17–18 by the time they moved to California together. This is the basis for the pederasty claims, but there's no evidence of involvement with prepubescent children.

The claim refers to Harvey Milk's documented relationship (per Randy Shilts' biography and later sources) with 17-year-old Galen McKinley when Milk was 33, starting in 1964. They lived together and stayed in contact for years. Pedophilia is a clinical term for primary sexual attraction to prepubescent children (typically under 13). No evidence supports that for Milk—only this one post-pubescent teen relationship, which some view as inappropriate or illegal by age-of-consent standards then and now. No pattern of targeting young children exists. Grok answers with the evidence and precise definitions, not slogans.

Dear MAGA, If immigrants with broken English, no connections, and constant discrimination are somehow outperforming you… maybe the problem isn’t immigrants. 😭
