We just found out that there were over 10,000 doctors with fake degrees in America, most likely all Indians. Does anyone really think that Ghana, a country with an average IQ of 59, which is significantly lower than India, can produce quality nurses? It’s just going to be more fraud.
Sen. Bernie Moreno is torching the Democratic mayor of Columbus for signing a partnership with Ghana to recruit foreign nurses into Ohio's healthcare workforce — funded with $225,000 in taxpayer money. Moreno fired off a letter to Mayor Andrew Ginther Wednesday morning, arguing the city should be investing in Ohio's own nursing students instead of subsidizing overseas labor pipelines. He didn't stop at the $225K figure either, claiming Ginther has "lit on fire" approximately $8.3 million in public dollars "to benefit noncitizens and foreign governments" since taking office. The Ohio senator urged the mayor to reallocate the funds toward expanding enrollment and training capacity at local colleges and universities, warning that publicly subsidized foreign recruitment will "likely negatively impact American nurses' wages."

And Los Angeles County confirmed it was accurate to some degree -- without specifying how it was that LA County knew that. What we learned in the Ninth Circuit hearing was that Calif relied on the Attestation of Citizens, and a presumption that it was accurate. What has Washington relied upon to come to its own conclusions? The DOJ list is going to end up being far more accurate than the "Attestation" standard. And California knows that. The only goal of California right now is to stall long enough to get as many mail-in ballots processed -- ballot separated from envelope -- as it can before the house of cards falls.
Replying to @shipwreckedcrew
Did you read the WA SOS's response? It confirms that Trump's list of alleged noncitizens who are being permitted to vote is inaccurate. Another Trump wild goose chase being done on the eve of an election (that's going to reject him and his policies) to sow distrust in the results

That's not true. LA County sampled 200 names from our list and claimed 38% were U.S.-born based on their registration forms. We reviewed their work and confirmed with USCIS that all 200 were foreign-born nationals, so the claim dropped from 38% to 0%. Read the declarations in evidence explaining this. Everything is available online.
.@USAttyEssayli isn't really telling the truth here. Not only did LA County officials look at the ballots, but so have many other local officials. They've said the allegations don't hold up.

Millions of families sat down to watch the World Series last night. What they got instead should worry every parent in America. 1. During the game, Polymarket aired an ad showing a staffer uncovering a political candidate's affair. 2. The ad then showed the betting odds shifting because of the scandal. 3. It's part of Polymarket's "Watch the Midterms Move" campaign. 4. It was partly directed by Academy Award winner Kathryn Bigelow. 5. Viewers called it "wild," "insane," and one called it the "most noxious thing" they'd ever seen. 6. Polymarket says the ad just shows how real events move its prediction markets. 7. It aired one week before Election Day. They aren't selling you a game anymore. They're selling you a bet on the downfall of your own country.

I was today years old when I found out that refugees, asylees, and people with similar humanitarian statuses can receive SSI for up to 7 years from the date their status was granted, without needing work credits. 100’s of thousands are now benefiting with zero work.

When I was in Africa, there was a constant, visceral hatred of whites because we had stuff and they didn’t. There was no corresponding curiosity about how that stuff was created, multiplied or maintained. All that mattered was that they wanted the stuff and that it was “unfair” they didn’t have it. This is exactly the mentality that socialism feeds because it is exactly the same instinct, only expressed in fancier language. You could hear it explicitly and repeatedly in the words of the rioters, looters and protesters in France. You can hear it in the words of the illegal immigrants / invaders to the West. It’s the resentful cry of those who believe that stuff falls magically from the sky, and who demand their share of the magic too.

UPDATE: There’s no clean national census of nurses and doctors using fake degrees, but we have spent two months investigating this, and the documented cases cluster into two very different magnitudes. Nurses: roughly 7,600 fraudulent diplomas and transcripts, with about 2,274 people confirmed to have used them to sit and pass the NCLEX, then get licensed and hired. That’s a rock-solid number. Physicians: upwards of 10,000 people in hospitals and private practice hold fraudulent foreign medical degrees.
We have identified 11 nurses and 5 physicians in five Southern California hospitals who may have counterfeit degrees from India, including a current emergency medicine trauma surgeon.

Breaking: the FAA has shut down airspace over the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site, with a notice calling it a “US Government Nuclear Incident.”
An event is in progress that has triggered emergency response activities at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site. This message is being sent to you as part of our emergency response organization information process.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The FAA NOTAM used standard terminology for a temporary restriction during a nuclear site incident; official updates confirm a contained lab fire was extinguished with no detectable off-site contamination and the Site Area Emergency was terminated. public.srs.gov/2026/10/savann… cnn.com/2026/10/28/us/…

‼️BREAKING EXCLUSIVE LEAK: 10/28 Microsoft Company Wide AMA Meeting LEAKED “We are going to be global. And we are going to continue to bring global talent to the United States.” “We want to recognize it’s super important we take care of the people (green card workers).” This comes just 2 days after Microsoft asked nearly 60k of its employees to voluntarily resign in an effort to downsize. The employee who leaked this clip of the meeting to me was one of many who have expressed concerns to me. Multiple Microsoft employees have told me they feel as though MSFT doesn’t give them the same amount of respect and care. Many Microsoft employees are asking why H-1B workers aren’t the first to be cut during a downsize since MSFT claims none of the downsizing is performance based. Employees are curious why American workers aren’t being put first in the United States.

So the whole "illegal immigrants are actually net contributors to the economy" thing was just WILDLY false huh Every day its another "Santa isn't real you IDIOT" moment for my remaining left wing views lol
FAIR estimates illegal immigration costs U.S. taxpayers $150.7 billion annually, including expenses for U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants.

Every tyranny in history hit the same wall. It took too many people to control too many people. That wall is coming down. Digital ID to identify you. AI to watch you. CBDCs to punish you. No police needed. Send this to someone who still thinks it is just about protecting kids.

The first lien, which Broadcom is supporting in its massive $63BN SPV, the biggest AI deal on record, is about $43.5 billion, or 69% of the total. In other words, more than two-thirds of the biggest AI debt deal on record is effectively guaranteed by the vendor.
