"This H-1B visa program is a total fraud. It's a total scam!" @SenEricSchmitt has strong words for the globalist forces that are ripping jobs away from American workers and giving them to foreigners just to make a quick buck on a few tax breaks. It has to stop.

Joe Rogan said the quiet part out loud. A man brought here as a baby. Lived in the US for 20 years. Can’t speak Spanish. No criminal record. Deported anyway. That’s not border security. That’s ripping someone out of the only country they’ve ever known and dropping them somewhere that was never their home. When Joe Rogan starts saying this, the politics have shifted.

I've been coding for 40 years. Here are the top 5 things I wish I knew when I started. 1. 90% of the job is debugging and fixing, not creating new code. Which is still fun if you're good at it. I used to think programming was mostly writing fresh, clever stuff. In reality, most of your time is spent in other people's (or your own past self's) messy code, chasing down why something that "should" work doesn't. Get really good at debugging early. Learn assembly reading, call stacks, and kernel debuggers. It pays off hugely. The best engineers I saw were absolute magicians at this. 2. Manage complexity from day one (ie: don't write slop and "fix it later" if it goes somewhere). Very early on, I'd hammer out code and refactor afterward. Big mistake. Now I start with clean, skeletal structure (minimalism first) and flesh it out carefully, with AI or not. Messy code compounds and becomes unfixable. Upfront discipline on architecture, naming, and simplicity saves enormous pain later, especially in large systems like Windows. 3. Tools and processes matter more than you think We suffered with basic diff/manual deltas instead of modern source control like Git. Branching, testing, and good tooling would have made porting and collaboration way smoother. Invest in your environment, automation, and reproducible builds early. Good tools amplify your output; bad ones (or none) drag everything down. 4. Understand the problem and existing code deeply before writing Don't jump straight to coding. Map out the problem, study what's already there (you'll inherit a lot), and plan. Low-level knowledge (hardware quirks, alignment issues on different architectures like MIPS/Alpha) was crucial. Also: assert early and often. It forces clarity. 5. People, politics, and "the right tool for the job" beat pure tech arguments. Brilliant engineers still argue endlessly. Sometimes it's about ego, not merit. Learn to spot the difference and "steer" the conversation rather than "winning" it. Bonus from experience: Side projects like Task Manager (started at home because I wanted the tool) can become your biggest hits. Ship small, useful things often. If you're just starting, focus on fundamentals, patterns over syntax, and building resilience for the long haul. It's going to be a wild ride, but the fundamentals still matter.

Thomas Massie: The Epstein scandal is “deeper and darker” than anyone imagined. “It’s bigger than Watergate.” “It’s bigger than Iran-Contra.” “It’s not about Joe Biden or Donald Trump.” “There are degrees of evil here that we’ve never seen at this scale … ” “Our government was compromised by wealthy, connected billionaires, and by Jeffrey Epstein himself.” “At the age of 14, these girls that were being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein were told if they could go find another girl to take their place, then they wouldn’t have to be sexually abused.” “And some of them took that deal.” “It’s one thing to be evil to a child.” “It’s another thing to get a child to do evil.” “The light sentence that was given to Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 that allowed him to victimize hundreds of more women, we want to know, why was he given that light sentence?” @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY @Local12

#BREAKING: Rep Ro Khanna: “The reality is when President Obama left…we had 97% of the enriched uranium out…we didn’t have 13 American service members dead…we never had gas go up from $2.30 to $4…you know why? Because Obama actually did his homework…All Trump did is listen to Netanyahu. That’s his entire foreign policy…I resent the fact that Israel is going to tell the United States what to do. The American president should call the shots in this country.”😳

There's an obvious reason why the Republican Supreme Court Justices sound so nervous. During their confirmation hearings, these justices sat under oath and promised that Roe v. Wade was settled law. They lied. They told us they were independent. Then they quietly accepted luxury mega-yacht vacations from right-wing billionaires, flew insurrectionist flags outside their homes, and used shadow dockets to dismantle decades of worker and environmental protections. Now, trying to persuade the public that a Republican-controlled Court issuing Republican-friendly decisions is not a Republican body has never been more difficult. Now that their public approval has cratered, they are showing up to fancy think tanks to complain that Americans are being unfair to them. They are desperately demanding to be treated like impartial umpires who simply call balls and strikes. But, ultimately, you do not get to strip away the bodily autonomy of millions of women, pocket millions in undisclosed gifts from conservative mega-donors, and then cry about a lack of respect.

@Acyn So we started a war to remove nuclear material we already had destroyed, now Trump doesn't care if we get an agreement, we've spent billions of dollars, and we're about to send the world into a global economic collapse. Can someone explain why they think this was a good idea?

Rubio says the goal now is to return the Strait of Hormuz back to the way it was: But our preference is for these straits to be opened to the way they're supposed to be open— back to the way it was—no mines in the water. Nobody paying tolls. That’s the goal.
