I did not know this until I saw it mentioned on X (formerly Twitter). When a company hires J1 student temporary or season employees, they do not have to pay the 7.5% FICA or Social Security tax on the wages. If a company hires a seasonal American student, they have to pay the 7.5%. If the company hires a foreign student, they don’t. This creates a perverse incentive for private equity firms, companies or corporations to hire foreign seasonal workers. This is true, I checked it out. Apparently, this is now the common approach within the hospitality industry to save money and increase profit from payrolls. Unfortunately,

Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, said Sunday he has spoken with Barack Obama and hopes the former president campaigns with him as the party tries to unite after a bitter primary that exposed deep rifts between its progressive and moderate wings. El-Sayed said his Friday conversation with Obama was “really warm and inspiring.” The candidate did not provide details. “I was grateful for his advice. It was very warm, very inviting, and I know that he knows the critical role that Michigan is going to play,” El-Sayed told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Asked if he would like to see Obama come —

Blaming the Jews is the easiest game in town. Professor Gad Saad has publicly announced his move from Canada to the United States to teach at Ole Miss. He has pointed out that his exit tax is very high and he is leaving behind a country in which he and his family have lived for decades. He has also made it clear that Canada will no longer support its Jews. He recently posted on X that Canadian politicians perform some simple math and realize that there are more Jew haters than Jews, so it’s in their interest to abandon the Jews to their fate and keep their electoral prospects alive.

Iran’s top national security official warned Saturday that the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the United States “corrects its behavior,” issuing a sweeping list of demands as Vice President JD Vance said Washington remains in the “middle of the game” and is continuing to apply diplomatic, economic, and military pressure on Tehran.Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and a former senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander, demanded that the United States end military action and threats against Iran and its regional allies, lift its naval blockade, withdraw U.S. naval and air forces from around Iran,

The league is launching task-force meetings and “listening sessions” as two former NBA players demand to know whether its women-only eligibility rule is based on sex or self-identification. Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has rushed out a memo to teams nationwide on Friday after former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declared themselves eligible for the 2027 WNBA Draft by identifying as women. In the memo, obtained by the Associated Press, Engelbert tried to walk a tightrope, admitting the issue of transgender (biological male) participation will keep drawing “significant attention” while labeling it a “complex and nuanced topic.”

Article III of the Constitution allows Congress to establish courts below the Supreme Court, which includes federal District and Circuit Courts. If Congress can establish them, it can abolish them. In 1801, in the waning days of John Adams’ presidency Congress did just that and abolished the district and circuit courts of the District of Columbia. These two courts display widespread intransigent partisanship and demonstrably poor scholarship, exemplified by this week’s ruling on the new White House construction. Given the difficulty of removing so many bad judges in these two courts by impeaching them, it’s time to repeat John Adams’ move: Abolish these courts.

The White House’s new fraud tracking website is spotlighting billions of dollars in government losses prevented, with healthcare programs administered by the Department of Health and Human Services among the largest areas of focus. The online “Fraud Ledger" said the administration has uncovered nearly $230 billion in fraud and stopped approximately $56 billion in fraudulent payments through its efforts to identify waste, abuse and improper spending across federal programs. According to administration officials,
