BREAKING: DHS announces via federal register that Secretary Mullin is closing a Biden-era loophole that allowed Chinese nationals to travel to the Northern Mariana Islands without a visa for 14 days, which four GOP Senators alleged was facilitating Chinese birth tourism. Senators @SenMikeLee, @votetimscott, @SenBillCassidy, & @JohnCornyn had written a letter to Mullin in April, urging him to close the loophole, which Mullin has now done.
Via the notice:
“The Secretary has broad authority to suspend the program for good cause,
including threats to national security, law enforcement interests, and immigration enforcement. The Secretary has determined that there is good cause to suspend EVS-
TAP, while DHS, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Interior, evaluates the program.”

Automatically registering non-citizens to vote when they apply for a driver’s license is inexcusably absurd. Of course they’re voting! We’re literally mailing them ballots!
Entirely predictable + preventable.
Glad our US Attorney is exposing this fraud.

I have absolutely awful news...
Two Americans and MAGA Trump voters in Charlotte NC have just been k*lled by a drunk-driving illegal immigrant from Mexico.
He is labelled as a "WHITE CAUCASIAN" male in the arrest records, despite being a Mexican illegal alien.
Their names were Rodney Quinn and Dana Osborne.
He was 66. She was 63.
On Saturday, October 24th, around 6:30 in the evening, they were riding down Moores Chapel Road in west Charlotte.
Police say a Honda Pilot turned left out of a driveway onto Moores Chapel Road... right into their path.
Police say the driver FAILED TO YIELD.
Rodney tried to stop his motorcycle, but it wasn’t enough.
The Harley hit the front corner of the Honda, went down on its side, and both of them were THROWN into the road.
They were wearing DOT-approved helmets, they did everything right.
But sadly, paramedics pronounced them both DE*D at the scene.
The driver of the Honda? Police say he had NO INJURIES.
His name is Jose Salas Tzompaxtle, and he’s 36 and an illegal alien from Mexico who has been arrested TWICE before for driving without a license, and was never deported.
Say their names. Rodney Quinn. Dana Osborne.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!

A 39-year-old woman was sexually assaulted at knife point in Central Park last night. At 8:30 p.m.
This comes just one week after a 32-year-old woman who was biking through the park—and stopped to pick up earbuds that had fallen—was ambushed by three men and punched in the head.
Violence against women has surged under Letitia James — up 41% in NYC — making us all less safe and less free. Women now worry about riding the train home from work, taking a jog in the park, and walking around their own neighborhoods at night.
It’s time for a change at AG.

Financial regulation like Basel 1-2-3 and modern central banking as applied by Greenspan , Bernanke , Yellen & Powell created an even greater risk than they sought to mitigate : it deindustrialised the US ( and the entire west ) to the point where it can no longer reliably produce the goods required to defend itself.
The idea that a functional, sovereign state can sustain itself by reducing its productive capacity to a services economy, reliant on asset-inflated wealth and debt-fuelled consumption, was the great economic delusion of the 1990s.
The inevitable result is a financial economy increasingly disconnected from the material economy that underpins it, where asset prices rise, private debt expands and paper wealth accumulates while the industrial capacity required to manufacture the physical goods on which national prosperity and security depend , steadily erodes toward existential doubt .
Eventually, your geopolitical rival is not merely producing more cheaply ; it is manufacturing the machinery, electronics, materials, components and defence systems that you can no longer produce yourself.
You become financially wealthy but materially dependent, capable of financing your own defence in theory but incapable of manufacturing it in practice. A nation that cannot manufacture the material foundations of its own security is not truly sovereign; it is dependent on the continued willingness of others to supply the means of its survival.
So called central banking independence was used to channel workers wages into a fully financialized bankers economy that literally can’t produce the goods it needs to defend itself or remain independent .

Elon Musk called for Robert Reich to be jailed on Sunday after Reich called to seize Musk’s property. Musk is right. Reich said Democrats should start laying the groundwork to nationalize Starlink and SpaceX and turn them into a public corporation if they take the House or Senate. Musk responded: “Stealing companies is a serious crime. Prison for Reich.”
More Democrats are openly embracing communism now, and it needs to be legally responded to seriously. Anyone promoting communism and the taking of private property from law-abiding citizens as a penalty for success should be jailed or lose their citizenship.
Reich is a former U.S. Secretary of Labor under Bill Clinton, a longtime Berkeley professor, and a frequent MSNBC commentator who has spent decades pushing higher taxes and expanded government control. He framed the nationalization call as a response to Musk supporting Trump and cutting into USAID spending. He also called for canceling federal contracts with Musk’s companies, breaking them up, and applying a wealth tax. That’s not regulation. That’s confiscation of private property because Musk backed the candidate Reich doesn’t like.
The same government that needed SpaceX to bring astronauts home is now being told to take the company. Reich has pushed this kind of economic intervention for years. This is the same playbook, just said out loud. Nationalizing private companies because of political disagreement is the core of how socialist and communist systems operate. They start with “public good” language, then move the assets under government control. Once the state owns the means of production in a sector, the owner loses the company and the public loses the competition that built it. Reich is treating Musk’s success as the problem and state ownership as the solution. Calling for the government to seize private companies over political disagreement is an attack on the right to own what you build.
Democrats used to at least pretend they supported private enterprise with rules around it. Reich is dropping the pretense. If taking Starlink and SpaceX is on the table for a midterm majority, every business owner who crosses them should expect the same treatment. That isn’t policy. It’s a direct threat to private ownership. Anyone who openly calls for seizing private companies over politics is an enemy of the country and should be legally treated as one.

In 2020, the US healthcare system was so overwhelmed by the pandemic that it laid off 10% of the workforce because they had nothing to do.
In 2021, it was so overwhelmed that it fired and pushed out tens of thousands of nurses and other HCWs for refusing the covid shots.
Healthcare sector employment did not recover until Sept. 2022.

So glad Obama got us the affordable care act to make health care so much
more affordable…
BREAKING: The average cost of a family’s annual health insurance premium in the US is up +$1,303 YoY, or +5%, to a record $28,303.
This marks the 4th consecutive annual increase of at least +$1,300.
Over this period, the average annual premium for family coverage has surged +$5,884, or +26%.
To put this into perspective, CPI inflation has risen +13% over the same period, or half as much.
Since 1999, the average health insurance premium for a family has soared +$22,494, or +387%.
This represents an average annual growth rate of +6.1%, well above CPI inflation at +2.6% over the same period.
Health insurance has never been more expensive.

“Routine medical care is often being billed at the much more expensive rate for hospital care, instead of the lower cost for procedures in a doctor’s office.”

Remember in 2013 when he said families would get good healthcare for less than the cost of their cable bills and then the cost of insurance skyrocketed? That was awesome.

Let me start with screw the @washingtonpost they are crap journalists.
These are hospital-owned clinics. The hospital controls the billing and collects the facility fee.
Yet the Washington Post puts “doctors’ offices” in the headline, leaving readers with the impression that their physician is behind the markup.
Misleading BS
Patients deserve to know who sets these charges and who collects the money.
If the hospital is charging the fee, put the hospital in the headline. Physicians shouldn’t have to answer for a billing policy their employer controls.

Privatizing Medicine
The current medical system is mathematically and morally unsustainable.
Decades of third-party payers, regulatory capture, and government mandates have produced exploding costs, opaque pricing, defensive medicine, and eroded trust. Not to mention billionaire politicians and millions of dead and injured people around the world.
Patients and clinicians are trapped in bureaucracy instead of focused on care.
Multiple attempts to remedy the situation have been made over the last thirty years, and now, anything that actually worked has been completely removed across all sectors.
Complete Privatization restores price signals, competition, and direct relationships. Providers compete on quality and value. Transparently.
Patients choose freely.
Innovation accelerates without the drag of middlemen or one-size-fits-all rules.
The failures are clear.
The market has already moved. Thanks to all the MEDICAL FREEDOM WARRIORS.
The GOV needs to understand who they messed with…
We ARE the people.
Best that our government can do is realign the incentives.

Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.
