Anger and confusion gripped Chinese professionals in the U.S. after White House leader Donald Trump slapped hefty fees on new work visas, deepening anxiety among those seeking to build careers stateside.

Last Friday, the Trump administration said that it would ask companies to pay $100,000 for new H-1B visa applicants. A slew of tech firms and banks including Microsoft, JPMorgan and Amazon responded to the announcements by advising employees holding the H-1B visas to stay in the country.

The White House has now clarified that the new rule only applies to new H-1B applicants, not to current visa holders or to those seeking to renew their permits.

While the U.S. government may cash in on a windfall from the visa fee hike in the near term, the new policy will almost certainly deter Chinese students from pursuing a degree or career in the U.S., said Xinbo Wu, director of Fudan University’s Center for American Studies in Shanghai.

India was the largest beneficiary of H-1B visas last year, accounting for 71% of approved visa holders, with China as a distant second at 11.7%, according to the U.S. homeland security data.

UKRAINE claimed its troops have turned the tide in a key part of the eastern front.

Kyiv’s top general Oleksandr Syrskyi said his troops had recaptured some 60 square miles in a major reversal since August.

He also claimed Putin’s invaders had abandoned positions in a further 70 square miles north of the bomb-blitzed town of Pokrovsk.

The advances are welcome successes for Kyiv after months of Russian assaults wore down Ukraine’s morale.

Gen Syrskyi claimed Russian forces had suffered eye-watering losses including 1500 killed in action, another thousand wounded and at least 12 main battle tanks destroyed.

In a statement on Monday Gen Syrskyi said: “Control has been restored in seven settlements and nine more have been cleared of enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups.

“As of 12pm on 22 September 2025, a total of 164.0 km² have been liberated and another 180.3 km² cleared of enemy sabotage groups.”

Engineers in Australia have developed a new building material with about one quarter of concrete’s carbon footprint, while reducing waste going to landfill.

This innovative material, called cardboard-confined rammed earth, is composed entirely of cardboard, water and soil – making it reusable and recyclable.

In Australia alone, more than 2.2 million tons of cardboard and paper are sent to landfill each year. Meanwhile, cement and concrete production account for about 8% of annual global emissions.

Cardboard has previously been used in temporary structures and disaster shelters, such as Shigeru Ban’s iconic Cardboard Cathedral in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Inspired by such designs, the RMIT University team has, for the first time, combined the durability of rammed earth with the versatility of cardboard.

Excerpt:

But it’s a risky calculation, given Senate Democrats are using filibuster leverage to block a largely “clean” stopgap spending measure unless enhanced Obamacare subsidies set to expire are extended. It’s an annual scenario where one party invokes leverage over must-pass legislation, but only this time, the usual party roles are reversed.

Democrats are betting that Americans will blame President Donald Trump and Republicans. Although Republicans control both chambers of Congress, they still require bipartisanship to overcome the 60-vote Senate threshold to pass a short-term funding bill. Unless more funding is approved, the federal government will shut down on Oct. 1.

“They who run the Legislative Branch usually get blamed in the eyes of voters when something goes awry or there’s a shutdown of any kind,” said Jon Reinish, a Democratic strategist and former aide to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), who now chairs Senate Democrats’ campaign arm.

“What matters is if there is a shutdown and all of a sudden your benefit checks stop coming,” Reinish added.

But there’s also a recent precedent suggesting that the party that supports extraneous policy riders is typically seen as responsible for shutdowns and emerges on the losing political end without significant wins. Republicans were bruised from the longest shutdown in U.S. history, which occurred in Trump’s first term and lasted 35 days, after the president failed to get any additional money to construct more of the U.S.-Mexico border wall in 2018 when Republicans controlled Congress.

Leftist “comedian” Jimmy Kimmel received some delicious karmic payback when Sinclair Broadcast Group revealed it will not air “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on its ABC affiliate stations despite Disney’s move to bring the late-night talk show back on air following his recent suspension.

Kimmel’s show was suspended on Wednesday — two days after he falsely claimed that a Trump supporter had assassinated Charlie Kirk and that conservatives were exploiting the murder to score political points.

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said flippantly on Sept. 15.

After pushing the defamatory propaganda, Kimmel’s show was pulled off the air indefinitely.

On Monday, ABC announced the show would return on Tuesday.

“It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive,” the liberal network said in a statement.

“We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

However, Sinclair Broadcast Group refused to lift the suspension on its massive national platform.

“Beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair will be preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! across our ABC affiliate stations and replacing it with news programming,” Sinclair wrote Monday on X.

Excerpt:

A former FBI agent and Utah Valley University professor is warning that a new wave of political violence appears to be increasingly targeting everyday citizens, not just political figures, after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination on campus on Sept. 10.

“The [Minneapolis] church shooting, the Charlie Kirk shooting, these are different,” said Greg Rogers, who spent 30 years in the FBI, many of them as a SWAT sniper.

“These are just citizens that are being murdered for political reasons, which is…certainly not unique and brand new, but it’s happening more frequently,” he continued. “We haven’t seen much of that…If you think about political assassinations in the past, even in modern times, you’ve got John and Bobby Kennedy, you’ve got Ronald Reagan was shot, you’ve got George Wallace when he was a governor was shot. You’ve got all these big political national figures. That to me seems very different than normal citizens that are kind of just doing their thing, getting murdered for their political views.”

Then-President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on Nov. 22, 1963. His brother, Robert F. Kennedy, was a leading presidential candidate when Sirhan Sirhan gunned him down five years later. At Kirk’s memorial Sunday, his son, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was expected to attend with President Trump and other Cabinet members.

Former Democratic party presidential nominee Kamala Harris gave a lukewarm endorsement of mayor candidate Zohran Mamdani during a Monday night MSNBC interview with Rachel Maddow.

Harris told Maddow she’s optimistic about rising stars in her party, but curbed her enthusiasm when asked about “mainline Democratic shyness and agitation” about Mandami possibly becoming New York City’s next mayor.

“Look, as far as I’m concerned, he’s the Democratic nominee and he should be supported,” Harris said in a transcript rushed to national media Monday night.

Polling shows the 33-year-old State Assemblyman leading incumbent Eric Adams, former governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa with Election Day roughly six weeks away.

When asked if she supports Mamdani’s candidacy, Harris replied “sure” she’s pulling for a Democrat to win, but feels there are candidates in places like Mobile, AL. and New Orleans she wants the public paying attention to as well.

“Let me just say this. He’s not the only star. I know that he’s in New York, and I know New Yorkers think they’re the center of the world, and here we are in New York having this interview,” she said.

Excerpt:

It’s unclear what commentators on the left think they achieve by labeling conservatives as Nazis, the president as Hitler, or ICE agents as kidnappers. What is clear is that such rhetoric does nothing to promote public safety. In fact, it has fueled escalating threats against those the left considers politically incorrect. That is why Acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli’s remarks were both timely and necessary.

According to Essayli, the left “lays out the gasoline and the matches, getting people riled up in the hope that someone will do what they want—burn the place down.”

The ironic part? The left has, in fact, burned the place down when it doesn’t get its way. Actions speak louder than words, and in this case, both their words and actions speak volumes.

According to ICE, assaults on federal officers have surged by nearly 1,000 percent. This spike can be traced directly to the left’s rhetoric.

How does the left expect people to react when they convince some voters that ICE is racially profiling and “kidnapping” people off the street? As Essayli noted, things have gotten so bad that receiving threats has become just another part of the job. In other words, just another Monday.

And the most irritating part? The left dismisses it all as nothing more than a fight for democracy against fascism. Leftist officials will not even condemn blatant acts of terrorism.

All Democrats had to do was allow Republicans one day to gather to pay their final respects to Charlie Kirk, a party giant who was gunned down eleven days earlier by a left-wing lunatic who disagreed with his political views.

But they simply couldn’t help themselves. Perhaps the global outpouring of love and compassion for Kirk in the days since his death has gotten to them. Yet rather than offering their own tributes or remaining silent, many felt the need to pass judgment on the events of the day.

The Huffington Post called it a “Ragefest” and took aim at President Donald Trump’s “Hate Eulogy.”

As you’ve probably heard, Erika Kirk forgave her husband’s killer during her speech. The left-wing outlet faulted Trump for describing him as a “radicalized, cold-blooded monster.”

Well, the suspect is a radicalized, cold-blooded monster, is he not?

Excerpt:

For too long, Christians have sold and bought the lie that loving God and loving your neighbor means embracing ill-named political centrism, caving in the culture war, and quietly refusing opportunities to obey the Great Commission. The assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and the widespread revival that followed, however, proves that the third way-ism that has infiltrated even the most seemingly solid Christian institutions has no home here any longer.

It’s not difficult to see that the “Christian nationalist” slur and smears corporate media, Democrats, and other cowards wielded in an effort to deter Biblically-informed life and law have taken root in key Christian circles, effectively neutering potential Good News bearers from delivering the best message of all time. Yet, a small but powerful sect of bold and morally courageous faithfuls, such as Charlie Kirk, successfully rejected those attacks and devoted their lives to sharing the Gospel with anyone who would listen.

The result of such a commendable act of obedience? A beautiful, one-of-a-kind memorial service in which millions of people across the world finally heard and saw the Good News that has been so readily suppressed from within in recent years.

For the first hour of the nearly eight-hour service, approximately 95,000 people threw up their hands and vowed to “praise You again and again.” The worship proclaiming the goodness of God was followed by the repeated declaration from the speakers, including several Trump administration officials, that Jesus saved. The end of the memorial featured widow Erika Kirk’s public proclamation of unthinkable forgiveness for her husband’s assassin.

Reports from within State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona suggested the room was electric with the Holy Spirit. From the stage, Tucker Carlson observed “God’s very obvious presence in this room, the presence of Jesus.”

Kimmel Reinstatement Shows Media Lied About Trump Yet Again– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

Last week, the propaganda press assured us that self-described comedian Jimmy Kimmel was pulled off air because President Donald Trump was an authoritarian, a fascist, or tyrannical. It didn’t matter that Disney executives themselves said Kimmel was yanked because he planned to double down on false and inflammatory commentary. No, what mattered to the propaganda press was spinning the story to malign Trump.

Of course the narrative collapsed Monday when Disney announced it would bring Kimmel back on air days after he falsely stated that Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin was “MAGA.”

“Last Wednesday, we made the decision to suspend production on the show to avoid further inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country,” Disney said Monday afternoon in a statement. “It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive. We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return the show on Tuesday.”

Disney itself admitted once again that pulling Kimmel off air was merely a business decision — exactly what was reported at least four days ago. It wasn’t Trump or the FCC — if it was, Disney would not be reinstating Kimmel. But that’s not what the propaganda press told us. Instead, they deliberately misled Americans so that they could distract from their own culpability in creating a hostile environment that led to Kirk’s assassination by painting Trump as the real problem and Kimmel as the real victim.

Let’s be honest: whenever a crucifix or Bible is whipped out, this will be the liberal media’s go-to reaction. Charlie Kirk’s memorial service was held in Glendale, Arizona, on Sunday. Hundreds of thousands attended. The State Farm Stadium was packed, with the overflows just as jammed. Kirk was a man of faith. So was his wife, Erika Kirk, who has taken over Turning Point USA following her husband’s assassination at Utah Valley University on September 10.

Are we shocked that there was a religious theme here? I’m not religious and I understand that; I also don’t see ‘Christian nationalism’ every time someone quotes scripture or prays. In liberal media land, this is the new Nazism. Some of these reactions were insane:

Only later did they discover he had been transferred to El Helicoide, the notorious intelligence prison run by Venezuela’s feared Bolivarian National Intelligence Service.

The nation struggles to come to grips with this latest rash of political violence. One of these incidents involved the shooting of the lobby of ABC’s Sacramento affiliate. Shockingly, NBC was the only newscast to offer these new details.

NBC’s Liz Kreutz included the shooter update within her report on the imminent return of Jimmy Kimmel:

LIZ KREUTZ: Two days after Kimmel was pulled off the air, police say 64- year-old Anibal Hernandez Santana fired shots into an ABC station in Sacramento. Tonight, the district attorney telling NBC News investigators found anti-Trump notes in his home, and that they believe Kimmel’s suspension may have been a factor.

THIEN HO: We are still looking at and investigating the case, but he chose a very particular target, and with the notes that he left behind, I think there’s circumstantial evidence to show this is a politically motivated crime by this individual.

KREUTZ: Hernandez Santana, a retired state lobbyist, was first arrested by local police on Friday, but released on bail. The FBI then stepped in and rearrested him . His attorney says he plans to plead not guilty to the number of state and federal charges he now faces.

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice weighed in Monday against the ban on high-powered firearms that Illinois and Gov. JB Pritzker passed after the Highland Park Fourth of July mass shooting in 2022 but found itself on the defensive as an appellate court justice grilled an assistant attorney general about whether “facts matter” as she tried to justify the administration’s position.

In arguing before the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, Harmeet Dhillon, the U.S. Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for civil rights, said the nation has a “strong interest” in ensuring that the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms is “not relegated to a second-class right” and criticized claims from state officials that certain guns covered by the ban are suited more for military operations than routine self-defense.

But Judge Frank Easterbrook interrupted Dhillon early during the five minutes the court allowed her to speak even though the federal government is not a party to the case. Easterbrook noted the legal challenge from state officials resulted from a ruling by a district court in southern Illinois that determined the ban was unconstitutional, while a court in northern Illinois previously ruled a similar ban was legally sound.

“Suppose the (southern Illinois) district court had found every contested issue of fact in favor of the state. Would that affect your review of the statute’s constitutionality?” asked Easterbrook, who was appointed to the bench in the 1980s by Republican President Ronald Reagan.

As Dhillon began answering by saying, “It would not, your honor,” Easterbrook fired back, “So you don’t think the facts matter?”

Excerpt:

In Ramallah – the de facto Palestinian capital of the occupied West Bank – many fear Western recognition of Palestinian statehood is too little, too late.

“I’m really glad that there are people who can see our suffering in Palestine and understand the problems we’re going through,” says Diaa, 23, who did not want to give his full name.

“But while recognition is important, what we really need are solutions.”

This city is home to government buildings, diplomatic missions, and a sprawling presidential palace.

But for many Palestinians, the dream remains that East Jerusalem – just a few miles south but largely cut off by Israel’s separation barrier – could become their capital under a two-state solution, which would create an independent Palestine in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, alongside Israel.

It is with that stated goal that the UK, France, Australia, Canada, Portugal, Belgium, Malta, Luxembourg, Andorra, and Monaco announced formal recognition of the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in New York this week.

“Recognition is a positive after all this time,” says Kamal Daowd, 40, on a busy Ramallah street. “But without international pressure it will not be enough.”

“If recognition comes without giving us our rights,” he says. “Then it’s nothing more than ink on paper”.

Jimmy Kimmel and Disney are reportedly negotiating a compromise that would allow for his talk show to return to air.

Business and legal representatives for the longtime late-night host have been in talks with the higher-ups at ABC and its parent company, Disney, with the hopes of bringing “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” back to TVs nationwide, Variety reported, citing three sources with knowledge on the matter.

The show was abruptly pulled off the air on Wednesday, with executives saying it would be “preempted indefinitely” over Kimmel’s remarks about the discourse triggered by the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Since then, the 11:35 p.m. slot has been filled with reruns of “Celebrity Family Feud,” and a Charlie Kirk memorial special that aired Friday.

Kirk was shot on Sept. 10 during a student Q&A at Utah Valley University as part of his American Comeback Tour. He was hit in the neck by a lone bullet during the outdoor event on the Orem campus and was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Kirk, the co-founder of conservative organization Turning Point USA and a major President Trump ally, was 31 years old.

Excerpt:

The FBI reportedly recorded Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan accepting $50,000 in cash from undercover agents who were posing as business contractors last year.

A new report from MSNBC on Saturday reveals that the agents recorded Homan, six weeks before the 2024 election, allegedly promising to assist in securing government contracts across the border security industry during Trump’s second term.

Six sources familiar with the matter told MSNBC that the FBI and justice department – then run by Joe Biden’s administration – had intended to hold off and assess whether Homan would follow through on his alleged promises after he was appointed as Trump’s border czar. However, the investigation stalled after Trump took office, and in recent weeks, officials appointed by Trump decided to close the case, according to MSNBC.

According to the sources, a justice department official who was appointed by Trump called the case a “deep state” investigation.

In a separate statement to MSNBC, the FBI director, Kash Patel, and the deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche, said: “This matter originated under the previous administration and was subjected to a full review by FBI agents and justice department prosecutors. They found no credible evidence of any criminal wrongdoing.”

They added: “The Department’s resources must remain focused on real threats to the American people, not baseless investigations. As a result, the investigation has been closed.”

Excerpt:

A new report from Nigeria has cast a stark light on the relentless wave of anti-Christian violence sweeping across the country, revealing that roughly one hundred churches are destroyed every month. The figures, compiled by the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), suggest that the world’s most populous African nation has witnessed nearly 19,100 churches attacked, looted, or shuttered since 2009.

That year marked the rise of Boko Haram, the Islamist insurgency whose campaign for a caliphate in the Sahel ignited one of the most brutal chapters in Nigeria’s modern history. Since then, extremist factions — including Boko Haram, ISIS-West Africa, and armed Fulani herders — have left a devastating trail of burned sanctuaries, massacred congregants, and shattered communities. For Emeka Umeagbalasi, the Catholic-inspired human rights advocate who leads Intersociety, the statistics are not abstract but a portrait of survival.

“A church does not simply close itself,” he told reporters. “It takes violence, intimidation, or bloodshed to empty a parish. When we counted every church that had been abandoned or destroyed, the figure reached 19,100. That is one hundred every month, three every single day, for sixteen years.”
