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

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.”

Ex-Clinton Cabinet Member Larry Summers Resigns From OpenAI Board Over Epstein Scandal– dailycaller.com

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.”

The White House has once again spoken out against The View for criticizing the Trump administration.

This time, they’re coming for longtime co-host Ana Navarro, who recently chalked up the administration’s controversial response to the newly released Jeffrey Epstein files as “white, rich, powerful, entitled men protecting other white, rich, powerful, entitled men.”

In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson labeled Navarro, who is a registered Republican, a “TDS liberal,” using the abbreviation for “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

“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,”

Democrat operative Dana Williamson, after years of leading a luxury lifestyle, now faces numerous charges of fraud and false statements related to her alleged role in stealing campaign funds and mischaracterizing more than $1 million in self-indulgent spending as business expenses.

Williamson, California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s former chief of staff, was released on $500,000 bond after pleading not guilty Wednesday to 23 charges related to her political work. She is charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud, bank fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to interfere with government function and obstruct justice, and false statements related to alleged crimes committed between February 2022 and September 2024, according to the indictment.

Williamson exited the governor’s office in December 2024. She owns a public affairs, lobbying, and political consulting business and is well known in California political circles. Williamson, who became Newsom’s chief of staff in 2022, was “hailed by her allies as the governor’s ‘political assassin,’” according to Politico, and Newsom praised “her insight, tenacity, and big heart” when she left the position.

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.

Trump’s ‘Complete’ Pardons Cover Bogus State Election Charges– thefederalist.com

Blurb:

Fake news was working overtime on Monday by declaring, without authority, that the “full, complete” presidential pardons related to the 2020 presidential election cannot protect against bogus state charges arising from that election. Corporate media wrongly insisted that the pardon clause in the U.S. Constitution applies only to charges brought by federal prosecutors.

Not so. The pardon clause states that the president “shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” Every attempt in court to narrow the scope of the pardon clause has failed.

Our system of dual sovereigns, federal and state, is subject to the supremacy clause, which means that state sovereignty cannot limit the scope of the pardon clause. It was modeled on the vast, nearly unlimited pardon power of the King of England.

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

pgnewser November 19, 2025 0

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.
