"We're bringing in the best and brightest!" In 2022 & 2023, over 75% of H1Bs went to people from countries with average IQs below 80. Over 70% of H1Bs go to Indians alone (average IQ 76). The next largest demographic are Chinese at ~12%, followed by "Canadians" (probably more Indians) at ~1%. I guarantee there's some ethnic mafia stuff going on here. Nothing else could explain this huge overrepresentation. People need to go to jail for this egregious corruption. Approximately 75% of H1Bs go to people from South Asia, 15% East & Southeast Asia, 2.5% Latin America, 2% Europe, 2% Anglosphere, 2% MENA, 1.5% Sub-Saharan Africa & Caribbean. 1,000 Japanese versus 55,000 Chinese H1Bs is insane; our closest ally in East Asia versus our #1 geopolitical adversary worldwide. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/data/OLA_Signed_H-1B_Characteristics_Congressional_Report_FY2022.pdf https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/reports/OLA_Signed_H-1B_Characteristics_Congressional_Report_FY2023.pdf

Trump on H1Bs

Every hotel owner etc. who has profited from harboring migrants should have their assets seized and auctioned off to non-libtards. They should be made retroactively culpable for any crimes committed by migrants they've housed and prosecuted accordingly. Same for all migrant NGOs and so on. The state could use their money to compensate victims of terrorism and migrant crime, fund deportations, border defenses, etc. (Caveat: Any hotel owner etc. who can prove that they were blackmailed by libtard governments or agencies should only have some of their assets seized, and they should receive exemption from other punishment if they cooperate with criminal investigations into bureaucrats who facilitate mass migration).

When in power, European populists should scrap all "refugee" compacts, "civil rights" and "hate speech" laws, proscribe migration NGOs and prosecute pro-migration bureaucrats for aiding terrorism. States must be gutted from top to bottom, Project 2025 style. All of this can be done in the name of counter-terrorism and fighting crime. Leftist and cuckservative traitors have knowingly facilitated crime and terrorism in Europe for decades without repercussion. A lot of people need to go to jail for a long time — and that's the merciful option.

The terrorist who murdered countless Germans at a Christmas market this evening was a "refugee" from Saudi Arabia who illegally migrated to Germany in 2006. Taleb Al Abdulmohsen was granted asylum in 2016, claiming that he was persecuted by the Saudi government due to his atheism. He was a doctor, women's rights activist, and "refugee" activist who campaigned for the importation of more Saudis. Judging by this August 2024 post from his X account, this is the first terrorist attack carried out in the name of "refugee rights" in modern European history. Apparently he is one of five perpetrators. I don't know if the other four have been apprehended and named.

61% of (polled) Americans have a negative opinion of Luigi Mangione, even after being told his self-proclaimed motivate for killing Brian Thompson was fighting "corruption and greed." Non-Whites, poor people, and leftists are more likely to have a positive opinion, but no demographic was majority positive, even self-proclaimed "woke" people. https://stratpolitics.org/2024/12/unitedhealthcare-poll/ https://stratpolitics.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/UHC-Poll.pdf

Some good news from Britain, for once: A 90-acre rewilding project in Scotland has increased the local bumblebee population by 116 times in the space of two years. Massive population boost for a relatively small project. "Rewilding Denmarkfield said its work showed how even when surrounded by urban sprawl and intensive farmland, pollinators can make a comeback if nature is given a chance." https://www.scotsman.com/hays-way/bumblebee-population-increases-116-times-over-in-remarkable-scotland-project-4882622

School makes teenagers insane and suicidal. Significantly reducing the amount of time people spend in locked up in child jail, being lectured about irrelevant nonsense and forced to perform totally pointless tasks, would probably reduce school shootings by a huge margin. Figure source. See also: The Case Against Education by Bryan Caplan. Edit: IMO most people should be taught a skeleton curriculum. Smart kids, who are generally easy to spot from an early age, should be offered a more expansive curriculum and fast tracked to college so they can get it over and done with ideally before they turn 18.

TIME: “Do you trust Netanyahu?” Trump: “I don't trust anybody.”

Trump on migrant camps: "I don't care. I'll do whatever it takes to get them out." He adds that any country refusing to take migrants back will be cut off from American business and tariffed substantially. https://x.com/atrupar/status/1867324966586527961

Former Ivy League student Luigi Mangione (@PepMangione on X) arrested for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The media is claiming he was anti-capitalist and anti-climate change, but those are default opinions that smart young people know to repeat because they get you ahead in life. Currently, he seems to be a vaguely anti-woke Joe Rogan watching techbro but I seriously doubt that inspired him to terrorism. His political views, past and present, are probably irrelevant to the shooting. Evidence on X indicates that he suffered a mental breakdown and went missing, possibly due to psychoactive drug use following a botched back surgery. His GoodReads page lists numerous books on recovering from back pain and on psychoactive drugs. My guess is that this was an apolitical revenge shooting. He looks like a very healthy guy whose life was ruined.
