Image by Karl Allen Lugmayer from Pixabay Senator Tom Cotton has introduced legislation to track foreign student and faculty visa holders to safeguard sensitive research at American universities. The ‘Educational Visa Transparency Act’ expands the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) to include all student, faculty, and staff visa holders in U.S. higher education. It would also allow other federal agencies to access this information. The introduction of this bill follows several concerning cases in which foreign nationals, including those from Communist China, attempted to smuggle dangerous biological materials into the United States under the guise of academic research. “Unmonitored foreign nationals in the labs and research centers of our colleges and universities pose a grave national security threat. My bill will require tracking all student and faculty visas to ensure foreign nationals aren’t stealing valuable research,” said Senator Cotton. They would go into the SEVIS database, and the DOJ would have access to allow monitoring. It’s a good idea, but nothing gets passed thanks to the filibuster. Even without the filibuster, who knows what would be passed. And would anyone actually monitor it? According to the Department of Education, approximately 3.1% of full-time faculty in the United States are foreign nationals, which translates to about 712,180 full-time faculty in fall 2021. This percentage reflects the significant presence of foreign-born faculty in higher education institutions across the country. That doesn’t even count part-time adjuncts. Approximately 40,600 higher education faculty in the United States hold H-1B visas, which includes professors. This represents nearly 3 out of every 100 faculty members in higher education institutions. Cotton’s bill would track the H-1B visa holders who are students or professors. There are currently over 40,000 foreign professors with temporary visas in America. They’re unleashed on our college students. Professor Sumith Gunasekera was at Ferris State University in Michigan.

JD Vance spoke with Benny Johnson about the SAVE America Act. He told Johnson that he wants the Senate to “Grow a Spine.” I predict they won’t. They would have to end the filibuster, and fifty would have to come around. They don’t care enough about this country to do it. They aren’t stupid. These people know it will be the end of the Republic when Democrats are in power again. Benny Johnson: “Are you available to pass the deciding vote on the SAVE [America] Act?” Vice President JD Vance: “Absolutely, I am available whenever they would like to pass it. The problem is we actually DO NOT have 50 senators who would overrule the filibuster… So when Mitch McConnell and Lisa Murkowski say, ‘Well, we need to protect the filibuster because the Democrats, they’re not going to do it. So we shouldn’t do it either.’” “The Democrats ruined the career of Kyrsten Sinema for not overruling the filibuster. They’re GOING to do it. So we might as well do it now to enforce the protection of the American electoral system. It’s the DUMBEST political argument I have ever seen.” “I would bet every dollar that I own that the next time the Democrats have control of the Senate, they will break the filibuster, pack the Supreme Court, and destroy this country.” “We have to do it NOW!” Benny Johnson: “Are you available to pass the deciding vote on the SAVE [America] Act?” Vice President JD Vance: “Absolutely, I am available whenever they would like to pass it.

An Assemblywoman from Manhattan proposed a WEF law to protect us from light pollution, which is not pollution by any definition of the word. The “Dark Skies Protection Act,” sponsored by a dim-bulb, Manhattan Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, would require Big Apple businesses and residents to hit the off switch between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. to save energy, help migratory birds, and avoid “light pollution,” according to the proposed bill. The goal is to “preserve and enhance the state’s dark sky while promoting safety for people, birds, and other wildlife; conserving energy and reducing our carbon footprint, and preserving the aesthetic qualities of the night sky,” the legislation declares. The bill, which would go into effect in January 2028, notes that lights “used for travel and public safety would be exempt.” “Criminal gangs approve this message,” one observer wrote on X, skewering the bill on Thursday. “Good, then criminals can maraud the populace under cover of darkness as intended!” another wrote sarcastically. “What could go wrong?” another added. Another said, “Leave it up to New York to IGNORE blatant problems like CRIME, BUDGET DEFICITS, and HOMELESSNESS surrounding us, yet FORCE its LAW-ABIDING residents to comply with their USELESS and DRACONIAN Lighting mandates, OR ELSE!” When everyone flees New York City, they won’t need any lights. TURN OUT THE LIGHTS – New York has introduced a bill in Albany that would FORCE ALL residents to TURN OFF their outdoor lights at 11 PM or face FINES of $250-$500+ EACH TIME!

Delta Air Lines cut off special services for members of Congress at airports, as the industry continues to feel the effects of the government’s failure to pay Transportation Security Administration workers. Delta issued a statement saying it would temporarily suspend specialty services for members of Congress “due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown.” Members of Congress are given special treatment at airports, including expedited screening, escorts through airports to bypass long security lines, and dedicated reservation desks that, among other things, allow them to make last-minute changes. No member of Congress should get special privileges on any airline, especially not Democrats who shut down DHS. If it were up to me, they wouldn’t get paid until Congress resolved the situation. A Reporter Asked Thune If the House Was Going to Do Its Job As Majority Leader Thune fled D.C. for vacation, he was escorted through the airport by an unpaid TSA agent. A reporter asked him whether the House would do its job. However, the House didn’t have a job to do. The Senate caved and defunded ICE and CBP. The Senate stuck it to the House. The House would never approve that complete cave. The Senate put the onus of the Democrat shutdown on Republicans in the House so they could go on vacation. In case you were wondering what BETRAYAL looks like from a “Republican” – here you go. Thune was busted heading off to vacation with a TSA escort… knowing that Americans are waiting hours and hours to get through security and the SAVE America Act was not passed.
