America should eliminate the H-1B and replace it with this
Every time immigration comes up, it's painted as a choice of extremes.
Compassion or common sense?
No immigration or no rules?
That's a false choice — and it's one that benefits only the politicians who'd rather argue than govern.

Latest federal killing in Minnesota echoes Ruby Ridge
On Saturday, federal agents in Minneapolis killed protester Alex Pretti, shooting him in the back 10 times after they had taken away the pistol he legally carried.
White House Deputy Chief Stephen Miller quickly settled the issue: "A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorists." A few hours after Pretti was killed, I commented on Twitter/X: "How many of the Trump supporters cheering the killing of the Minneapolis demonstrator today would also cheer for the FBI sniper killing Vicki Weaver in her cabin door at Ruby Ridge in 1992?" This outraged plenty of Trump supporters but the parallels between the federal killings in 1992 and on Saturday are striking.

🇺🇸🇮🇷Prediction with the main reasons: The US will bomb Iran to bring about a regime change
We've seen it repeatedly: You invent a pretext based on deliberate lies, fake news, exaggerations or a false flag operation which serves to construct a story that country or leader X is a threat to "us" which legitimates that we do a 'preemptive' strike against that - obviously invented - threat to eliminate it.
Mainstream media's task is to propagate the ploy, not to ask questions or reveal the lie.

🇺🇸The US has accused the EU of censorship: Here's how the bloc's consensus machine works
Brussels manufactured the Romanian election debacle and faces accusations of strangling the free speech of Europeans and Americans alike.
The Republican US House Judiciary Committee has published details of what it claims is a decade-long campaign by the European Commission to stifle online political speech, with barely-veiled threats used to stamp out memes, satire, and anything Brussels calls "disinformation." In a report published on Tuesday, the committee accused the EU of "directly infringing" on the free speech rights of Americans and Europeans alike by pressuring major social media platforms into censoring legal but "hateful" or otherwise problematic content.

UK government is obsessed with making Britain's countryside 'less white'
Reports label green spaces as a "white environment" The British countryside is under siege from diversity mandates that aim to transform it into a "less white environment," with officials in areas of natural beauty like the Chilterns and Cotswolds pledging to draw in more ethnic minorities under Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) guidance.
This push stems from reports warning that rural spaces risk becoming "irrelevant" in a multicultural society, dominated by the "white middle class," prompting commitments to outreach, diverse staffing, and even dog control measures to make the outdoors more appealing.
The Telegraph reports that National Landscapes — formerly Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) — and local councils have adopted diversity targets following Defra-commissioned studies.

Lavrov weighs in on 'Deep State' narrative and Western political deceit
A dishonest mindset now prevails among European leaders, Sergey Lavrov has told RT in an exclusive interview.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said Western politics is increasingly shaped by a dishonest mindset, with European leaders failing to learn from past mistakes.
Lavrov made the remarks to RT on Wednesday, ahead of Diplomats Day, addressing a question from interviewer Rick Sanchez about whether those connected to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein were the same as the figures behind the 2014 Western-backed coup in Ukraine.
"Regarding the specific persons, specific personalities, we can't probably make generalizations like that," Lavrov said.

☄️A new comet was just discovered. Will it be visible in broad daylight?
A newly discovered comet has astronomers excited, with the potential to be a spectacular sight in early April.
C/2026 A1 (MAPS) was spotted by a team of four amateur astronomers with a remotely operated telescope in the Atacama desert on January 13.
It quickly became apparent the newly discovered object was a member of a group called the Kreutz sungrazing comets.
These include many of the brightest and most spectacular comets ever seen.

'Not many people know zis,' but Jeffrey Epstein was a squid
Where the West's very own Epstein Filth meets the West's very own Russia Rage.
"Not many people know zis" - as Franz Liebkind, the demented Nazi hobby playwright character in "The Producers" - would have said, but Jeffrey "suicide-just-on-time" Epstein really was a terrific Beluga whale.
Or maybe a giant, shapeshifting, hypnotic killer squid.
Or just Charlie Sheen.

Alexander Dugin's latest talk on the Radio Sputnik Escalation Show: Radio Sputnik, Escalation Show Host: So, the US Department of Justice has finally published the Epstein lists: 3 million files that journalists are now actively sorting through.
Some things look terrible, others comical, especially when individual names appearing in these materials are taken out of context.

Epstein Death Gets Weirder: DOJ Finally Admits To 'Orange-Colored Shape' Moving Up Staircase
The death of Jeffrey Epstein has always been extremely suspect, if only for the sheer number of odd coincidences that occurred the night of August 9th, 2019.
There are three theories: One, he actually killed himself.
Two, the DOJ - headed up by Bill Barr whose pedocentric-author father hired Epstein to teach at Dalton in the 70s - had him murdered while in custody.
Three, Epstein was smuggled out of jail and replaced by a mask-wearing homeless dude, with skeptics pointing to different nose and ear shapes on the body vs. photos of Epstein when he was alive.

"Dystopic As F**k": This Website Lets AI Bots Rent Humans
The AI era already feels like a dystopian fever dream straight out of a bad sci-fi novel, but leave it to a software engineer to push the accelerator straight into the abyss.
Enter Alexander Liteplo, the software developer behind RentAHuman.ai, a freshly launched platform that lets autonomous AI agents "search, book, and pay" actual human beings to perform physical-world tasks they can't handle themselves, Futurism reports.
Launched just days ago, the site bills itself as "the meatspace layer for AI," with slogans like "robots need your body" and "AI can't touch grass.
You can." Humans sign up, list their skills, location, and hourly rate (ranging from bargain-basement gigs to more specialized rates), while AI agents plug in via a standardized Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for seamless, no-small-talk interactions.

The Truth About SSRI Antidepressants
Story at a Glance: - SSRI antidepressants are one of the most harmful medications on the market, and because of just how many people they are given to (often for no good reason as only a minority of patients benefit from SSRIs) they have had a profound effect on the consciousness of our entire society. - This article will review some of the more common side effects of SSRIs (and SNRIs), such as losing the ability to have sex, becoming numb to life, becoming severely agitated or imbalanced (sometimes to the point one becomes violently psychotic or commits suicide), losing your mind, and the development of birth defects. - Like many other stimulant drugs (e.g., cocaine) SSRIs can be very difficult to quit.

☄️Martian meteorite that fell to Earth is full of ancient water, new scans reveal
A new study has revealed that the iconic Black Beauty meteorite contains much more hidden water than previously suspected.
The rock, which fell to Earth from Mars, could reveal clues about the Red Planet's watery past.
Many tiny specks of ancient water are locked within one of the oldest and most famous Martian meteorites ever to fall to Earth, a new study finds.
The surprising discovery, achieved using a new form of "neutron scanning," reveals more clues about the Red Planet's watery past, which may have set the stage for extraterrestrial life to flourish.

Star-killing black hole is one of the most energetic objects in the universe — and it's getting brighter
Scientists say a jet from a previously studied supermassive black hole has grown brighter, becoming one of the most energetic events in the universe.
The jet — nicknamed "Jetty McJetface" — is emanating from a black hole that was previously studied in 2022, after it picked up a star and began shredding it to pieces, releasing the jet in the process.
Now, some four years later, that bout of "cosmic indigestion" is still going strong, researchers said.
"This is really unusual," Yvette Cendes, an astrophysicist at the University of Oregon who led the study published Feb. 5 in the Astrophysical Journal, said in a statement.

Melinda French Gates breaks silence on explosive claims about Bill Gates in Epstein files
Melinda French Gates, the philanthropist and ex-wife of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, has broken her silence on the latest release of damning documents tied to deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, saying the renewed scrutiny of her ex-husband's associations evokes "very, very painful" memories from their marriage.
In an interview with NPR's "Wild Card" podcast, French Gates addressed the Department of Justice's most recent disclosure of millions of pages of Epstein-related materials, including shocking draft emails from 2013 in which Epstein made lurid allegations about Gates.
One draft accused the billionaire of contracting a sexually transmitted infection from encounters with "Russian girls" and seeking antibiotics that he could administer to his then-wife without her knowledge.

Democrats just gave away the real reason they're fighting immigration enforcement
Democrats have spent years insisting illegal immigrants do not vote, yet Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just gave the whole game away.
In a letter to GOP leadership, they demanded a slate of "reforms" to immigration enforcement as the price for funding the Department of Homeland Security, including targeted enforcement, no masks, mandatory use of body cameras, and other demands, several of which I suspect are nonstarters.
I don't see Democrats getting anywhere with these, but the big thing is that buried in that list is a rather revealing demand: Protect Sensitive Locations - Prohibit funds from being used to conduct enforcement near sensitive locations, including medical facilities, schools, child-care facilities, churches, polling places, courts, etc.
Polling places?
