Yellow cake uranium anyone?
It's the same playbook from 2003.

Lindsey Graham declares Iran was “two weeks away” from nuclear weapons. Bill O’Reilly thought Graham might have misspoken: “Within two months?” he asked. “Within TWO WEEKS, not two months,” Graham replied.

It's fun shopping for new banks because it seems all banks have terrible ratings, and when you look at them, like 66% of them are like, "We were overdrawn by $10,000 and the bank closed our account and refused to work with us!!!!!!"

People talk about their trunk guns (or truck guns) but nobody talks about having a trunk medic bag.
You are infinitely more likely to encounter a scenario where you might need to render basic first aid to save someone's life than you are to get your trunk rifle out.
Not to say you should or shouldn't roll with a rifle, ready to go.
But you should consider the fact that you have probably seen or been in a nasty car accident more times than you have shot someone.
A simple trauma bag or even an IFAK can be made up or purchased for relatively little cost.
Training to use them is easily done with something like a Stop the Bleed courses or a Red Cross first aid or trauma course, both of which you can register for online.

For the record, it is in fact illegal to replace existing US workers with H1B workers because cheaper.

In 2015, Disney called 250 IT workers into a meeting. They thought they were getting bonuses. Disney told them they were being replaced by workers flown in from India on H-1B visas, and if they didn't spend the next 90 days training those replacements, they'd lose their severance. Leo Perrero testified before Congress about it. Appeared on 60 Minutes. "Someone was flown in from another country to sit at my same desk and take over what I was doing. It was the most humiliating thing I've ever gone through in my life." Two workers sued Disney, HCL, and Cognizant for colluding to illegally displace American workers. Courts dismissed it. Disney Magic.

Then those companies shouldn’t get any govt breaks or handouts of any kind. And if they do they should have to repay them.
James Blunt@JBlunt1018
The anti–H-1B comments on my last post weren’t surprising. But the AUDACITY to pressure companies into hiring who you think they should hire? That’s not how this works. This is America. You don’t get to dictate someone else’s hiring decisions. Don’t like it? Build your own company. What I still don’t understand is the entitlement. It’s my company, I decide who to hire based on what’s best for the business. I’ll choose skill, work ethic, and value every single time. My responsibility is to the health of the company not someone else’s sense of entitlement. If that bothers you, compete.

I have posted links showing USAA is a TOP HB-1 visa user and has multiple mass firings of U.S. employees… one round of terminations was during the holidays. 🎄

@aslsoldier @RobProvince There is no link. No one is being laid off for foreign workers. He’s a liar!

@votekeri @RobProvince @JBlunt1018 @USAA @Allstate @StateFarm Not to self, if ANY insurance company want to monitor you driving, via device or app, HELL NO.

@Rippinghawk @RobProvince @JBlunt1018 @USAA @Allstate @StateFarm Yeah, you have to be careful. Not sure who is good at this point. Have heard problems with almost all of them. Compare the caveat situations and how it's handled.

HUGE NEWS and honestly, this is long overdue.
For the first time in a while, it feels like the left is actually stepping up to push back against the H-1B misinformation and the growing anti-Indian rhetoric online and in real life.
Hasan Minhaj just dropped an excellent breakdown on the whole H-1B / “Indian narrative” and it hits on a lot of the misinformation that’s been floating around unchecked.
I’m attaching a clip below + the full YouTube link.
This matters.
For too long, protectionist narratives have dominated the conversation often driven by fear, bad data, or outright misinformation.
And it’s had real consequences.
It’s time to:
— push back on the rhetoric
— correct the misunderstandings
— stop letting one side control the entire narrative
Good to finally see someone with a platform call it out.

Who remembers PC gaming in the 1990s? If so, what's your favourite game from this era? ... Gaming like it's the 1990s with a CD-ROM classic everyone keeps recommending, that being the original 1995 RTS (real-time strategy) game, Command & Conquer from Westwood Studios. (cont...)

@RobProvince @JBlunt1018 I gotta replace @USAA first before I can fire them... I need to research...
@Allstate screwed me over once or twice already...
@StateFarm ... it has been 40 years since I used them...
Not sure who to use now....

@JBlunt1018 Just cancelled all my USAA polices and credit card because they fired all their US employees and replaced them with foreign labor.
