Trump Admin Divided Over How to Best Reform H-1B Program– www.dailysignal.com

Blurb:

The Trump administration is divided between factions about the best way to reform the controversial H-1B visa program, a senior administration official told The Daily Signal.

One faction wants to restrict the program so much that foreigners won’t be able to use it, while others think it’s useful to bring in exceptional talent, the official said.

While President Donald Trump maintains abuses of the system need to be reformed, he told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham he believes the program—which allows highly skilled workers in “specialty occupations” to live and work in the U.S.—is needed to bring certain talent in. This comment sparked outrage from many of his supporters.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she’s “solidly against” Americans “being replaced by foreign labor, like with H-1Bs.” “End H-1B so it’s not used for cheap labor & expand genius visas for genuine high end talent,” conservative influencer Robby Starbuck wrote. Former Department of Government Efficiency adviser and Florida governor hopeful James Fishback said he would “fire every single H-1B working at our state agencies.”

‘Faction’ of GOP will return to Epstein drama in the future: Tiana Lowe Doescher– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Blurb:

Washington Examiner columnist Tiana Lowe Doescher said some Republicans will try to “reignite” the topic of the Epstein files in the future, even after President Donald Trump is expected to sign legislation related to it.

The House voted almost unanimously on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which would force the Justice Department to release all files on the convicted sex offender, on Tuesday, two days after Trump urged House Republicans to back the measure. The Senate also agreed on Tuesday to fast-track the bill to Trump’s desk.

Doescher said on Tuesday that this will bring an end to Congress’s focus on Epstein and his connections with Trump. However, she added that “a faction” of Republican lawmakers does not share this mentality, as they are “mad” that the president “dictates MAGA.”

Former Clinton-era Treasury Secretary Larry Summers resigned from the OpenAI board on Wednesday after emails showed his association with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Summers’ resignation followed his decision to back away from public commitments in response to House Democrats releasing over 20,000 emails from Epstein’s estate, some of which indicated that Summers regularly communicated with the sex offender from 2013 to 2019. His most recent correspondence was from the day before Epstein’s arrest in 2019, according to NBC News.

“In line with my announcement to step away from my public commitments, I have also decided to resign from the board of OpenAI,” Summers said in a statement. “I am grateful for the opportunity to have served, excited about the potential of the company, and look forward to following their progress.”

At the 2024 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), one competitor did so well that it would have been awarded the Silver Prize, except for one thing: it was an AI system. This was the first time AI had achieved a medal-level performance in the competition’s history. In a paper published in the journal Nature, researchers detail the technology behind this remarkable achievement.

The AI is AlphaProof, a sophisticated program developed by Google DeepMind that learns to solve complex mathematical problems. The achievement at the IMO was impressive enough, but what really makes AlphaProof special is its ability to find and correct errors. While large language models (LLMs) can solve math problems, they often can’t guarantee the accuracy of their solutions. There may be hidden flaws in their reasoning.

DAMASCUS, Syris — A new round of clashes between Druze armed groups and government forces in the province of Sweida in southern Syrian had subsided Friday but left fears of another escalation.

Clashes on Thursday led to both sides blaming each other for violating a ceasefire that ended several days of violent fighting in July. There were reports of people wounded on both sides, but no deaths reported.

The National Guard, the de facto military in Sweida, accused government forces of launching an attack on the town of al-Majdal Thursday, “employing heavy and medium weapons and attack drones, in an aggressive attempt to breach our defense lines and target vital locations.”

“Like all TDS liberals, Ana only cares about the Epstein files because she thinks she can weaponize it against President Trump,” the statement reads. It goes on to claim that Navarro “didn’t care about Epstein during [Joe] Biden’s presidency.”

MOSCOW, November 14. /TASS/. The magnetic storm that raged on Earth for about two days has stopped, Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the Phobos Weather center, said on Telegram.

“The magnetic storm that raged on Earth for almost two days has stopped. It ended late last Thursday evening, and for more than six hours the geomagnetic field has been in the ‘green’ zone,” he said.

The forecaster noted that in the coming hours, there may be disturbances in the magnetosphere until the middle of the day, but they most likely will not reach the level of a magnetic storm. According to him, the disturbances will stop in the afternoon.

“A period of a relatively calm geomagnetic field will last at least until the end of this week,” Leus said.

Moody Bible Institute Sues Chicago Public Schools for Blocking Christian Student-Teachers– www.standingforfreedom.com

The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago has filed a federal lawsuit against the city’s Board of Education, accusing the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) of religious discrimination. The district allegedly barred its students from participating in a student-teaching program because of the college’s faith-based hiring policies.

The suit, filed on November 4 by Alliance Defending Freedom, claims that CPS excluded Moody students from its Pre-Service Teaching Program when the college refused to sign agreements requiring compliance with the district’s nondiscrimination provisions. Those provisions prohibit employment discrimination based on religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

“As a condition of participation, Chicago Public Schools insists that Moody sign agreements with employment nondiscrimination provisions that forbid Moody from employing only those who share and live out its faith,”

Dems Were Given a Chance to Put Their Money Where Their Mouth Is on Epstein Files – Guess What Happened – RedState– redstate.com

Republican Rep. Tim Burchett (TN-18) offered up a softball pitch to Democrats suddenly clamoring for public transparency regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files. They whiffed worse than the Mighty Casey.

Why? Because it’s all a political ploy meant to take down their nemesis, President Donald Trump.

As RedState Managing Editor Jennifer Van Laar reported Wednesday, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee genuinely thought they finally had Trump cornered when it came to the Epstein files. They released a trove of 20,000 documents from the late sex-trafficker’s estate, then honed in on three particular out-of-context emails which, in their minds, showed something nefarious.

Instead, it blew up spectacularly when it was discovered that the emails had redacted any mention of the “victim” in the case, who happened to be Virginia Giuffre. That move was intentional. Giuffre had stated under oath that Trump never acted inappropriately with her and that she never saw him with Epstein.

University of Michigan Faculty Senate Wants More Trans Surgeries, ‘Treatments’ for Youth – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Blurb:

The University of Michigan Faculty Senate is aggressively urging the school to ignore federal rules — and science — to continue castrating minors in the name of transgender ideology.

The motion claims that so-called gender-affirming care is “medically necessary,” which is preposterous, since it is impossible to change one’s biological sex. Thus attempting to do so cannot be necessary; indeed, it can only be harmful. It is disturbing that the faculty senate is so blinded by ideology that they are determined to mutilate children at all costs and against all evidence.

The UMich faculty senate asserted in a motion that its obligation “to serve the people of Michigan and the world through preeminence in creating, communicating, preserving and applying knowledge, art, and academic values, and in developing leaders and citizens who will challenge the present and enrich the future” necessitates transgender mutilation for minors. Sounds as if another university needs to lose federal funding.

Democrats Release Email by Epstein Claiming Trump Knew

pgnewser November 12, 2025 0

The Democrats released an email from Jeffrey Epstein they say proves Trump knew Epstein was a pedophile before he severed ties with him. Epstein wrote, “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump. (Redacted name) spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. im 75 % there.”

Epstein was writing to his assistant sex trafficker, Gislaine Maxwell. The name of the person they claim spent time with Trump was redacted unnecessarily, because the person is on public record as denying she ever spent time with Trump. The President’s downplaying of the Epstein files doesn’t help his case, but the person being named in this email testifying that wasn’t true is even more damaging to the Democrats’ claims.

Only years after this email did Epstein claim Trump “knew about the girls” in separate DNC-released emails. No emails related to the Clintons were released by the DNC, which adds to the credibility this was simply a misinformation character assassination campaign, standard operating procedure for the DNC.

Epstein emails say Trump ‘knew about the girls,’ spent time with victim – Denver Post

Disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein wrote in a 2011 email that Donald Trump had “spent hours” at Epstein’s house with a victim of sex trafficking and said in a separate message years later that Trump “knew about the girls,” according to communications released Wednesday.

The emails made public by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee add to the questions about Trump’s friendship with Epstein and about any knowledge he may have had in what prosecutors call a yearslong effort by Epstein to exploit underage girls. The Republican president has consistently denied any knowledge of Epstein’s alleged crimes and has said he ended their relationship years ago.

The messages are part of a batch of 23,000 documents provided by Epstein’s estate to the Oversight Committee. The release resurfaces a storyline that had shadowed Trump’s presidency during the summer when the FBI and the Justice Department abruptly announced that they would not be releasing additional documents that investigators had spent weeks examining, disappointing conspiracy theorists and online sleuths who had expected to see new revelations.

The British government has reportedly suspended intelligence on Caribbean drug smuggling operations with the United States to distance itself from recent air strikes on cartel boats, seemingly siding with human rights lawyer maximalism over security interests.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s policy of using “kinetic strikes” to prevent drugs from making it to the streets of America has apparently been rejected by the human rights lawyer-led British government, evidently prioritising adherence to United Nations rules over its relationship with the nation’s most consequential ally.

Intelligence gathered from the string of British overseas territories and UK military intelligence assets stationed in the Caribbean is no longer being shared with Washington, according to CNN. The British government has refused to confirm or deny these claims, citing the importance of secrecy in intelligence matters, but the report cites an internal British source who states the UK stopped sharing intelligence a month ago, after the U.S. started sinking drug smuggler boats, and that his decision was reached because of human rights concerns.

 

Utah Ruling Exposes GOP Retreat On Redistricting Battle– thefederalist.com

An unelected district court judge ruled late Monday night that a Republican-proposed congressional map in Utah — a state that voted for President Donald Trump by nearly 22 points last November — was unconstitutional and instead, the state would have to adopt a map that creates a solid Democrat seat. The decision marks the latest setback in a string of redistricting battles that Republicans appear increasingly unwilling to fight, even as Democrats move full steam ahead with their own partisan redistricting efforts.

Utah District Judge Dianna Gibson ruled that the GOP proposal “unduly favors Republicans and disfavors Democrats.” The state legislature was ordered to draw a new map after the League of Women Voters of Utah and Mormon Women for Ethical Government sued over the current maps. Gibson previously ordered the state to draw a new map. The legislature approved a new map that retained the four congressional districts, though it made two of the districts slightly more competitive. But Gibson struck the new map down, instead accepting the plaintiff-drawn map that creates a new, safely Democratic district. Cook Political Report Senior Editor and Elections Analyst Dave Wasserman said the new district is a +24 for Vice President Kamala Harris.

QUEBEC CITY, Quebec (LifeSiteNews) — The province of Quebec has the highest euthanasia rate in the world.

On October 30, the Quebec 2024–2025 Report of the Commission on End-of-Life Care revealed that deaths by Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) have reached 7.4 percent of the total provincial deaths and have increased 9% since last year.

“The Commission notes that MAiD is in increasing demand and occupies an important place in the public sphere in Quebec,” the report asserts.

“The Commission rigorously and vigilantly fulfills its mandate to ensure that MAiD requirements are properly applied in Quebec and that MAiD is not chosen as a treatment option when other [sic] curative, palliative, or end-of-life care options are unavailable,” it continued.

Despite its promise, the commission reported that 50 percent of the MAiD requests were from those who felt they were a burden to family, friends, or caregivers. Twenty-four percent of those killed cited loneliness and isolation as reasons to end their lives.
