You don't do this with two weeks to go because you are winning.
Same-sex-marriage enthusiast (((Roger Simon))) says our young people are more backward than the young people of foreign countries, which is exactly the same sort of sneering condescension displayed by federal hog trough feeder Elon Musk and big pharma swindler Vivek Ramaswamy.
People like Roger, who is also a Freudian, worship at the altar of immigrants, "who have built much of this country":
Our educational system is too slow for the pace of tech, students finally learning what they need to know in graduate school when young people in other countries are already utilizing the latest ever-changing tech developments as teenagers.
Apparently our educational system has also failed Roger. He spells it H1-B throughout.
A MAGA ‘Civil War’ on X between Musk and the far right over H-1B visas
The online rift over the H-1B skilled-worker visa program signifies a potential wedge between Trump’s core base and his new Silicon Valley supporters.
Far-right activists clashed online with billionaire Elon Musk and other supporters of President-elect Donald Trump over the need for a skilled-worker immigration program that has long been a lifeblood for Silicon Valley — signifying a potential rift between Trump’s core nationalist base and technology executives who have come to support him.
The fight that spilled into public view over the holiday week could preview a wedge within Trump’s coalition over how to execute immigration policy, an issue that animated Trump’s White House campaign.
The controversy spread across X after far-right activist Laura Loomer on Monday criticized Trump’s choice to name Sriram Krishnan, a technology entrepreneur and investor who was born in India, as his senior policy adviser on artificial intelligence. She pointed to Krishnan’s previous support for removing some caps on H-1B visas, a program allowing foreigners with technical skills to work in the United States. The policy is “in direct opposition” to Trump’s agenda, Loomer wrote.
The critique ran headlong into tension with some of Trump’s closest advisers, notably Tesla and SpaceX CEO Musk; David Sacks who will be the president-elect’s AI and crypto czar; and Vivek Ramaswamy, who will co-lead a commission to cut government spending. “‘Normalcy’ doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent,” Ramaswamy said. “And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our a--es handed to us by China.”
The
online fight sparked a slew of racist posts from Loomer falsely
describing Indians as “third world invaders" with low IQs, while saying
it is fueling a “civil war” between Trump’s far-right base and the “tech
bros” that have come to support his upcoming administration. ...
Trump’s second administration set to be filled with losers
At least 17 of his picks have previously lost elections:
And Roger Kimball should know better.
Kimball completely underestimates the role that will be played by the federal government employee unions in opposing Trump's efforts to axe them. And it's downright preposterous to think that the Leviathan State is going to be unraveled by July 4, 2026 when it took literally decades to erect it.
Trump will fail to drain the swamp, and it will consume all the valuable energy of his victory, too, keeping him from succeeding on the agenda items which are within his reach. His actions might even strengthen those unions. His own new Labor Secretary actually advocates for that!
Democrats should be encouraged by this.
They are going to have a field day litigating everything Musk and Ramaswamy try to shut down, which will drag everything out interminably. Liberals funded the hapless Kamala Harris to the tune of $1 billion, so I'm confident the Marc Eliases of the Democrat Party will shift the Resistance to this effort with a similar level of support because it has a high likelihood of hamstringing Trump in the same way Russia Russia Russia did.
It's disappointing that Republicans don't understand that Trump is a deeply divisive transitional figure, not a transformational one, but Democrats made the same mistake with Joe Biden, until it was too late, on whom they turned as on a dime.
Yeah, let's put the HOG feeding at the government trough and getting filthy stinking rich off electric car subsidies and tax credits, and government rocket contracts, in charge of government efficiency.
Trump announces Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy to lead new ‘Department of Government Efficiency’
What a bunch of phony baloney plastic banana good time rock 'n rollas.
"Government efficiency" is one of those oxymorons that is more equal than other oxymorons.
The 108k who turned out under those conditions are a legitimate index of the proportional enthusiasm which exists.
Vivek got fewer than 9k votes and promptly, and properly, dropped out.
Change my mind.
Lose yourself: Vivek Ramaswamy's 2024 presidential campaign haunted by endless flip-flops:
In a potential 2024 Presidential Election matchup between Biden and Trump, candidates are tied with 44% support each. Twelve percent are undecided. Trump has gained about a point in the head to head matchup from the June Emerson poll.
When Green Party candidate Cornel West is added to the ballot,
support for Trump and Biden declines slightly to 42% and 41%
respectively, while 5% support West and 13% are undecided.
The GOP seems more determined to go down with their captain than they did a month ago, however so slightly.
Meanwhile many-mucho-mega-multi-millionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, age 37, born in Cincinnati in 1985, surges to third place.
