30-year expert on H-1B visa politics can't even spell it

 

I dunno, maybe it's true, maybe English is his Zweitsprache

 

This is risible propaganda posing as news from The Hill, which is the same Nexstar which pulled Kimmel's show

Is DePauw University also a subsidiary of Nexstar?

And how much was this guy paid to write this? 

Kimmel's Ratings in Steep Decline, ABC Looked for Way Out

Jeffrey McCall, The Hill Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media Inc.

This university pinhead pretends that ABC's way out of Jimmy Kimmel isn't called his $48 million contract, which expires in mere months. 

Kimmel isn't some dummy who didn't know he would be likely headed out the door very soon anyway.

He himself said as much already in February 2024, long before any of this Charlie Kirk business happened:

On February 21, 2024, Kimmel hinted that he may not renew his contract for further seasons after his current contract expires in May 2026 in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, stating that "I think this is my final contract, I hate to even say it, because everyone's laughing at me now — each time I think that, and then it turns out to be not the case. I still have a little more than two years left on my contract, and that seems pretty good, that seems like enough."^[22][23] 

 

How do you like your news being manipulated by the State Capitalist Pigs?

 

Oh, oh yeah, this is only an op-ed, not news. Sure. 

 

Stop making me like Jimmy Kimmel now!

The Wall Street Journal: Just 35% of high school seniors in 2024 were proficient in reading, and only 22% in math

 ... Twelfth-graders’ average math score was the worst since the current test began in 2005, and reading was below any point since that assessment started in 1992. The share of 12th-graders who were proficient slid by 2 percentage points between 2019 and 2024—to 35% in reading and 22% in math. ...

The Financial Times is full of it about a rate cut, and can't even spell

 

 ... the Fed chair is clearly more convinced by the employment side of that equation, indicating that “adjustment” may be necessary — a big hint that the central bank is poised to restart cuts in interest rates next month.

This was itself a surprise to investors, who seemingly were expecting a snoozefest. The dollar dropped sharply, government bonds jumped in price and stocks picked up at the end of a rough week as markets baked in those new expectations. A cut next month is now seen as a done deal, with likely chops in the following two meetings too. ...

If employment data for August picks up from its summer lull, which we will not know until the first week of September, then the Fed will be in the awkward spot of cutting interest rates in to a decent jobs market with inflation still running above target. “The Fed would risk a policy error if it were to cut rates,” warned analysts at Bank of America. ...

The Fed is supported by structures that protect its independence, but anyone who doubts Trump’s desire and willingness to bend it towards his will is kidding themself ...

Complete tosh. 

The Fed is data dependent, and there are two inflation readings and one employment report intervening before the next rate decision. 

Powell never even got close to saying the FOMC was poised to make a policy change. His remarks, as always, emphasize data and contextualize hypotheticals, that's all.

The press are scoundrels trying to bully the Fed like this. They are on Trump's level in Dante's Inferno. 

Powell said conditions "may warrant adjusting our policy stance." That could include a rate hike as well as a rate cut. He said "risks to inflation are tilted to the upside" while "the labor market appears to be in balance" even after the huge downward revisions to total nonfarm employment which got the head of the BLS fired.

In fact, he said that the latest data for July core pce inflation, which won't be out until Friday, indicate 2.9% year over year, an uptick from June's 2.8%. That's not good news for the rate cut cheerleaders, and that's why no one is reporting it. 

The FOMC is not going to cut the interest rate if that happens and employment remains steady.

August 29 and September 5 will tell us what is likely to happen on September 17, not The Financial Times. Fittingly, the ignoramus for The Financial Times ends her column with a preposition.

And don't forget core cpi inflation on September 11. Powell & Company will have all the very latest data for their decision, on which they will rely:

Monetary policy is not on a preset course. FOMC members will make these decisions, based solely on their assessment of the data and its implications for the economic outlook and the balance of risks. We will never deviate from that approach. 

Trump is so bad that Gen Z is falling in love with the guy who didn't keep us safe on 911, invented the religion of peace, gave us Michael Brown, and abandoned free market principles to save the free market system

 

Gen Z Falling in Love -- With George Bush... 

 

... "Many comments on videos tagged as #Bushcore use past moments to contrast the current administration," Mohammed said. "Users are saying, 'These were like Bush's lowest moments. Somehow they tower over Trump's best,' or 'I would've NEVER thought 20 years ago … I wish he could be president again … I miss him,' representing how unhappy Gen Zers are with contemporary politics."

 

"A recent YouGov/Economist poll shows that President Trump continues to have a significantly low approval rating among young voters—61 percent disapprove. They use Bush's persona as relief, reminiscent of times when there was supposedly more empathy and community in politics," she added. ...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

One would think that Gen Z would be more, I don't know, REBELLIOUS or UNGOVERNABLE if it's really true that they have experienced the following awful realities.

 

One of life's great mysteries. 

 

... a typical Zoomer on the apps is getting rejected by, and rejecting, more prospective partners in a week than a typical married boomer has in their entire life.

... Ella, a 20-year-old from Allentown, Pennsylvania, applied to 12 colleges and got rejected from 10. "I had so much hubris and unfounded confidence," she says. "I just thought, well, I'll only want to go to college if I can get into a 'prestigious school.' They ask, 'Why us?' obviously, and I couldn't tell them why besides it's Harvard." In a Substack post she published before her high school graduation, she described how at odds her tenfold rejection was with her belief in simply working hard to succeed. "I thought that I was going to be someone," she wrote.

... many Zoomers apply to more jobs in a day than many lucky Boomers have in their lives. ...

Trump’s Nvidia and Intel meddling is a ‘scattershot method of crony capitalism’: Walter Isaacson

... “That state capitalism often evolves into crony capitalism, where you have favored companies and industries that pay tribute to the leader, and that is a recipe for not only disaster, but just sort of a corrupt sense of messiness,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” ... Earlier this month, both Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices agreed to pay 15% of their China revenues to the U.S. government for export licenses to sell certain chips there. ...

Student loan caps a ‘punch in the face’ for aspiring doctors: American Medical Association president

 

... Starting next year, the legislation caps the amount of federal loans students can borrow for graduate school at $100,000 over a lifetime — and sets a lifetime loan limit of $200,000 for professional programs, such as medical, dental or law school. Grad PLUS loans will also be eliminated entirely. Those changes go into effect for new borrowers on July 1, 2026. ...

However, for aspiring doctors, the limits may mean drastic changes. The average cost of medical school already exceeds $200,000. At private institutions, the average cost is more than $300,000, according to 2024 data from the Association of American Medical Colleges. ...

COVID-19 jabs prevented 2.5 million deaths worldwide according to Stanford study, not 14.4 million in year one alone according to WHO, billions of doses wasted on the young

 

 Covid vaccines ‘saved far fewer lives than first thought’: New study suggests true figure ‘substantially more conservative’ than WHO’s 14.4 million global estimate

... John Ioannidis, a professor of medicine at Stanford University and the study’s first author, said: “I think early estimates were based on many parameters having values that are incompatible with our current understanding.

“In principle, targeting the populations who would get the vast majority of the benefit and letting alone those with questionable risk-benefit and cost-benefit makes a lot of sense. 

“Aggressive mandates and the zealotry to vaccinate everyone at all cost were probably a bad idea.”

More than 13 billion Covid vaccine doses have been administered since 2021. But there have been mounting concerns that vaccines could be harmful for some people, particularly the young, and that the risk was not worth the benefit for a population at little risk from Covid. ...

The over-70s made up nearly 70 per cent of the lives saved, while those aged 60 to 70 accounted for a further 20 per cent. In contrast, under-20s made up just 0.01 per cent of lives saved, and 20 to 30s were 0.07 per cent. ...

The new research was published in Jama Health Forum.
