Daniel Halper: Weekly Standard: they won the vote, but lost the trust of the American people
"Yesterday's procedural vote in the Republican-controlled senate to give [Obummer] 'Trade Promotion Authority', or 'fast track' as it used to be called, passed by just one vote -- that of Florida's Republican Senator and presidential aspirant Marco Rubio.   Why would Rubio vote to give [Obummer] more power?   No one knows for certain, but senator Jeff Sessions, in a statement released after the vote gave us some insight into the dynamics of what went on on Capitol Hill prior to the vote.   'Americans increasingly believe that their country isn't serving its own citizens.   They need look no further than a bipartisan vote of Congress that will transfer congressional power to the Executive Branch and, in turn, to a transnational Pacific Union and the global interests who will help write its rules.   The same routine plays out over and again.   We are told a massive bill must be passed, all the business lobbyists and leaders tell how grand it will be, but that it must be rushed through before the voters spoil the plan.   As with [ObummerDoesn'tCare] and the [8 Gangsters bill S744], the politicians meet with the consultants to craft the talking points—not based on what the bill actually does, but what they hope people will believe it does.   And when ordinary Americans who never asked for the plan, who don't want the plan, who want no part of the plan, resist, they are scorned, mocked, and heaped with condescension.   Washington broke arms and heads to get that 60th vote—not one to spare—to impose on the American people a plan which imperils their jobs, wages, and control over their own affairs.   It is remarkable that so much energy has been expended on advancing the things Americans oppose, and preventing the things Americans want.   For instance: thousands of loyal Americans have been laid off and forced to train the foreign workers brought in to fill their jobs—at Disney, at Southern California Edison, across the country.   Does Washington [DC] rush to their defense?   No, the politicians and the lobbyists rush to move legislation that would double or triple the very program responsible for replacing them.', noted senator Sessions.   Where were those Disney workers located you might ask?   Why in Marco Rubio's home state of Florida, where some 250 Orlando-based workers were not only let go and replaced by cheaper (and younger) foreign workers -- they were also required to train their foreign worker replacements.   'I just couldn't believe they could fly people in to sit at our desks and take over our jobs exactly.', one former worker, who wasn't named and is now unemployed, told The New York Times.   'It was so humiliating to train somebody else to take over your job.   I still can't grasp it.'   Neither, apparently, can Marco Rubio.   A New York Times report detailed the situation at Disney and other companies where positions are outsourced to companies that hire foreign workers who come to the United States on H-1B visas.   That particular visa is often described as a way to employ foreign workers when companies can't find enough skilled Americans to do the work.   But that's a lie.   In reality, says Beth Kassab of The Orlando Sentinel, companies have come to view workers on these visas like generic drugs -- just as effective, but a lot cheaper.   It's all about profit, says Ron Hira of the Economic Policy Institute and who testified before congress in March about the ramifications of the visa program.   Hira said he made a Freedom of Information Act request for the wages of the employees of the [cross-border bodyshop] used by Disney.   The median was about $62K.   But he says he spoke to a laid-off Disney employee who was making about $100K.   'H-1B guest workers are cheaper than American workers and don't have much bargaining power, and any company would be foolish not to take advantage of this highly lucrative business model that has been inadvertently created by congress and multiple presidential administrations.', writes Hira, who recently published a book on outsourcing and also teaches at Howard University.   Professor Hira is being much too polite or is just plain naïve about how congress works -- congress didn't 'inadvertently' create this highly lucrative business model -- it was lobbied into it and Marco Rubio just voted to expand it, no doubt at the bidding of Disney and other beneficiaries.   As senator Jeff Sessions noted in his post vote statement, 'This econometarian ideology holds that if a company can increase its bottom line -- whether by in-sourcing foreign workers [cross-border bodyshopping] or out-sourcing production [off-shoring] -- then it's always a win, never a down-side.   [President Obummer], and allies in congress, have won this fast-track vote.   But, in exchange, they may find that they are losing something far greater: the trust of the American people.   Americans have a fundamental, decent, and just demand: that the people they elect defend their interests.   And every issue to come before us in the coming months will have to pass this test: does this strengthen, or weaken, the position of the everyday, loyal American citizen?'   By providing the final vote to pass TPA Marco Rubio put himself squarely on the economentarian side and against the everyday, loyal American citizen whom, we suspect, will have no trouble remembering how he voted when their turn to vote in a Republican primary election rolls around."

DC crony socialism costs you... big time
"Today, through government cronyism some 60% of American financial liabilities have some form of government guarantee behind them; half of all Ex-Im Bank loans go to foreign airlines and 20% go to foreign oil and gas interests.   The Rayburn House Office Building's historic Gold Room was packed with congressional staffers and journalists who came to hear presentations from economist Veronique de Rugy, The Washington Examiner's Timothy P. Carney, author of _The Big Ripoff: How Big Business and Big Government Steal Your Money_, and Diane Katz, Senior Research Fellow in Regulatory Policy at the Heritage Foundation.   The program was moderated by William Ruger, vice-president of Research & Policy at the Charles Koch Institute.   The consensus or 'top take-aways' of the panel was that [tax-victims] have no idea what government cronyism really costs them, how pervasive it is and how it distorts the economy by using politics and political connections, instead of free markets, to pick winners and losers...   de Rugy defined it as 'the unhealthy marriage between government and business', including any favor granted by government to business, noting that it is not just Big Business, but small businesses that benefit from cronyism.   The Small Business Administration (SBA) is rife with cronyism in this formulation.   Carney distinguished cronyism from 'merely bad policy' by defining it as any active government intervention that benefits a class or individual company.   In her definition of government cronyism Heritage's Diane Katz pointed out that other interests beside business benefit from government cronyism.   Trade unions benefit from government cronyism, so she defines cronyism as 'privilege derived from government' and a 'transfer from the many to the few'.   The panel noted that the growth of cronyism has now almost completely broken down the Founder's formula of a government informed and influenced by freely competing 'interests'.   Tim Carney cited the legislation outlawing the cheap incandescent light bulb as an example.   Sponsored by 2 Republicans and signed by a Republican President, the law, which drove up costs for consumers and put American workers out of their jobs, was not opposed by the lighting industry who said 'they could live with it'.   But in Carney's view industry's failure to oppose the law was more about the fact that their margins on the old fashioned light bulbs were so narrow that the opportunity cost compared to making more expensive new technology light bulbs was a losing proposition.   By legislating themselves out of one line of business they raised their margin as workers and consumers faced the consequences of job loss and higher costs.   Diane Katz cited the Farm Bill and the IRS tax code as the 2 greatest examples of cronyism.   Although they contain almost no direct payments they are rife with special favorable treatment, protection and carve-outs that raise prices for consumers and grant government favors to special interests.   In Veronique de Rugy’s view government loan guarantees are perhaps the worst examples of cronyism.   Noting that now some 60% of the debt outstanding in the American economy has some sort of government guarantee behind it...   de Rugy said the idea that 'no one in the private sector will lend you money, but the government is here for you' distorts the economy and drives private capital away from innovation and toward the government favored business...   such political distortion results in concentrated power which attempts to keep and expand government so it can derive more crony benefits.   Citing tech guru Elon Musk's Space X as an example Katz noted that no other private space launch company can compete against Space X because of its government subsidies, thus instead of encouraging innovation the government has, based on politics not the market, picked a winner in the private space launch industry.   In de Rugy's analysis the ideal that Americans used to have and should strive for again is 'permissionless innovation' driven by markets, not by government policy..."

GOP losership betrays US citizens again; defeating them in primaries is the cure
"From the Republican leadership's devious ploy to fund [Obummer's unconstitutional and illegal] executive amnesty through the 'CRomnibus', to their refusal to defund [ObummerDoesn'tCare or the unconstitutional and illegal] executive amnesty, to their treasonous adoption of the legislation to give [Obummer] a free hand to abandon U.S. opposition to Iran's nuclear weapons program, and now their phony 'free trade' argument in favor of a bill almost none of them read, the Capitol Hill Republican establishment has betrayed the principles -- and the voters -- that handed them back the majority in 2014.   But what is perhaps the worst aspect of this series of betrayals are the lies that have accompanied them.   Were it not for a few principled individual legislators -- Jeff Sessions, Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton, Rand Paul and Mike Lee in the Senate and Louie Gohmert, Jim Jordan, Jim Bridenstine and a few others in the House, no one in America would have any idea how damaging these betrayals have been.   To senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas we owe a debt of gratitude for telling us the truth about the Corker bill and Tennessee Republican senator Bob Corker's abandonment of the principle that the United States should use every option to prevent the Islamist regime in Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons...   Senator Jeff Sessions has been an untiring defender of American sovereignty and the interests of America's working families in the face of the unceasing assault on their interests and future economic well-being by a cabal of billionaires who are intent on dissolving America's political and economic borders to reap the financial benefits they can claim from a globalized economy.   The problem is that, as senator Sessions has documented time and again, the economic benefits of globalization will accumulate in the hands of a small group of tech billionaires, while the cost of a reduced standard of living and reduced job prospects will be borne by America's families who rely on tech and manufacturing for their livelihoods...   Finally, Americans have Ted Cruz to thank for regularly shining the light of truth on the back-door deals and insider [crony socialism] that grease the betrayals we've outlined above..."

Phyllis Schlafly slams trade promotion and the rest of the package (TAA, TPP, TATIP, TISA) as worst legislation congress has ever passed
"She charged, 'It's just money.   The big donors are demanding the cheap labor.   And it's a matter of jobs and what this whole free trade policy has done is kill the middle class...   When the last trade bill with South Korea went through, they promised it would create 40K jobs.   Well, it did create 40K jobs but they were all in South Korea.   Free-trade advocates are just liars.   It's destroying American jobs and making jobs over-seas.'...   'The American people voted for a change and they voted for a repudiation of [Obummer's] polices, but we didn't get it.   We were disappointed.   Of course, speaker John Boehner hasn't led the kind of revolt we expected him to do.   Instead, he just cries when he doesn't get his way.   Boehner is getting his orders from the big donors who don't really care about party [nor about the US citizenry], who are essentially globalists at heart.   And we don't want globalist busybodies running our country.', she said.   Richard Viguerie, a leading conservative strategist and the author of _Takeover: The 100 Year War for the Soul of the GOP and How Conservatives Can Finally Win It_, also slammed Boehner for not just supporting the trade bill, but punishing three Republican congressmen that opposed it by removing them from the party leadership.   Yet Viguerie also saw a silver lining, because in his view, the Republican [losership's] actions show grass-roots conservatives the party [losership's] true priorities [and that they must be removed from office]...'[The GOP loserhip] share more in common with the Dems/Reds/leftists than they do with limited government, constitutional conservatives, because the big-government Republicans believe in growing government.   They just don't believe in growing it as fast as the Reds/Dems/leftists do, but they still believe in growing government, whereas limited government, constitutional conservatives want to go in a significantly different direction.   They want to reduce the power of government, so Republican [losers] are closer ideologically to leftists/Reds/Dems than they are to conservative principles.'...   Besides the economic damage Schlafly sees resulting from the trade deal, she is also sounding the alarm over the trade deal's possible implications on immigration policy.   'The trade deal just shows how determined the money people are.   There are people out there who want to destroy our country.   And the best way to do it is to bring in a lot of people who don't believe in America.   We don't need any immigration right now.   And I don't think we ought to allow any immigrants except people who want to be Americans...'"

* forgiveness *
World Net Daily
Town Hall
"First, consistent with my religion, Judaism, I do not believe that anyone but the actual victim has the right to forgive someone for the evil they have inflicted.   If I steal from you, you have the right to forgive me, but your best friend doesn't.   If Jones rapes my daughter, my daughter can forgive Jones, but I cannot.   Among other reasons, I don't own my daughter, and, as pained as I would be, I wasn't the person raped.   Many Christians believe that their faith demands forgiveness of everyone for everything.   I don't know why they believe this.   Certainly that is not standard Catholic or Protestant doctrine.   Nor is Christ the model for this idea.   He forgave those who crucified him, not all those who crucified others.   Second, I am not aware of Roof having repented.   And even God Himself doesn't forgive those who never repent.   Third, regarding whites, blacks and crimes, we seem to inhabit a strange moral universe.   Great numbers of black Americans seem to be unable or unwilling to forgive America -- specifically white Americans -- for sins committed by whites who are long dead.   But many seem to support the forgiveness of a white man who murdered nine blacks last week.   The families of the murdered blacks speak eloquently and movingly about preferring forgiveness to feeling anger and hate toward a man who murdered their loved ones just days ago.   But millions of blacks seem to prefer feeling anger and hate toward a vast number of their fellow Americans who have never wronged them or any other black American.   Indeed, most American whites don't even have ancestors who ever wronged blacks.   The truth is that the vast majority of white Americans are not racist.   This is demonstrated by the lengths to which those who contend that white Americans are racist must go to 'prove' their case..."

media ignored the week's big story
"Hackers stole sensitive information from government databases on an estimated 4.2M federal employees and contractors, past [back to 1985] and present, who now could have their identities stolen, or worse.   One hack began last December and was discovered in April by a private contractor.   Another, larger hack apparently began in March of last year.   The hackers are believed to be [Red Chinese], senate Dem/Red/leftist leader Harry Reid said after a classified briefing.   This was a cyber Pearl Harbor which 'wrecked American espionage', said John Schindler, a former counterintelligence officer for the National Security Council.   Of foremost concern is the filching of SF86s, 120-page forms in which those seeking security clearances list sensitive information such as arrests, drug and alcohol problems, etc.   Covers of intelligence officers have been blown, making those who confessed sins on their SF86 subject to black-mail.   Armed with info from the filched files, terrorists could target military personnel and their families.   Worse, the OPM hack 'offers our adversaries the opportunity to penetrate our government and use that information to deceive it at a strategic level', Mr. Schindler said...   The hacks were facilitated by mind-boggling negligence.   OPM's management was warned repeatedly over the last eight years of glaring weaknesses in its information-security programs.   Last November, OPM's inspector general urged that a particularly vulnerable system be shut down.   Had it been, a breach would have been prevented.   But nothing was done.   The gross negligence of OPM's managers -- and the president's unwillingness to hold them accountable -- reflect poorly on the [Obummer regime].   Which is why his aides are downplaying the incident -- and is one reason reporting on the hack has been inadequate.   Many in the media think it more important to protect Dems/Reds/leftists than to inform Americans of what's going on.   They spin, down-play or ignore news that makes Dems/Reds/leftists look bad.   Most Americans are blissfully unaware that Homeland Security released thousands of illegal immigrant violent felons into our communities, of dysfunction in most federal agencies, of alarm over mounting debt -- and of the causes and catastrophic consequences of the massive cyber blow we've just suffered..."

USA unity versus racial separatism
"There are plenty of other overt racialist symbols that separate Americans.   One is the prominent use of La Raza, 'The Race' -- seen most prominently in the National Council of La Raza, an ethnic lobbying organization that has been and is currently a recipient of federal funds.   The National Council of La Raza should be free to use any title it wishes, but it should not expect the federal government to subsidize its separatist nomenclature.   The pedigree of the term La Raza is just as incendiary as that of the Confederate battle flag.   The Spanish noun raza (cf. Latin radix: 'root' or 'race') is akin to the now-discarded German use of Volk, which in the early 20th century came to denote a common German racial identity that transcended linguistic and cultural affinities: To be a real member of the Volk one had to 'appear' German, in addition to speaking German and possessing German citizenship.   La Raza is just such a racialist term.   It goes beyond a common language and country of origin, and thus transcends the more neutral puebla ('people': Latin populus) or gente ('people': Latin gens).   Raza was deliberately reintroduced in the 1960s to promote a racially superior identity of indigenous peoples and mestizos born in the Spanish-speaking countries of the New World.   That is why the National Council of La Raza once had a close affinity with MEChA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán), the infamous racialist U.S. student group (its ironic motto is 'Unity creates strength'), some of whose various past slogans (cf. the Castroite derivative 'Por La Raza todo, Fuera de La Raza nada') finally became sources of national embarrassment.   The use of the phrase La Raza reflects its illiberal modern origins.   It came into popular currency during the 1930s in Spain, when the Fascist dictatorship of Francisco Franco wished to promote a new Iberian identity that went well beyond the commonality of Spanish citizenship and fluency in the Spanish language.   Franco expropriated La Raza to promote the racist idea that the Spanish were a superior people by birth...   Symbols, flags, organizations, and phrases that emphasize racial difference and ethnic pride are no longer just fossilized notions from the 1960s; they are growing fissures in the American mosaic that now threaten to split the country apart -- fueling the suspicion of less liberal and more homogeneous nations that the great American experiment will finally unwind as expected.   That would be a great tragedy, but a catastrophe entirely predictable if citizens seek symbolic solidarity with their tribe rather than in the common idea of just being American."

human foot-prints found on remote British Columbia island could be over 13K years old
National Post
"Archeologist Duncan McLaren said radiocarbon dating indicates the charcoal materials are 13,200 years old, and he is preparing to duplicate those tests to confirm the results...   Fossilized human footprints, especially foot-prints more than 10K years old are rare.   McLaren said the oldest human foot-prints in the Americas are 14,500 years old and were found at a site at Chile's Monte Verde.   Sites in Washington, Oregon and Alaska also confirm human activity more than 14K years ago but they do not have fossilized foot-prints, said McLaren..."

good bye to USA manufacturing jobs
"Manufacturing employment in the United States peaked 36 years ago in 1979 June.   That month, the U.S.A. had a civilian labor force of 104.638M and 19.553M -- or about 18.7% -- were employed in manufacturing.   Last month, the U.S.A. had a civilian labor force 157.469M, but only 12.355M -- or about 7.8% -- were employed in manufacturing.   Between those two dates, the number of Americans who held a job or actively sought one increased by 52.831M.   But manufacturing jobs declined by 7.198M.   In 1979, when manufacturing jobs peaked, households headed by Americans who had completed high school but not attended college enjoyed a median income of $54,503 in constant 2013 dollars.   In 2013, the latest year on record, those households had a median income of $40,701 in constant 2013 dollars -- a real drop of $13,802...   'Ford has 11,300 employees in Mexico.', said the statement.   'The Ford Fiesta, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ as well as the hybrid versions of both are manufactured in Mexico.   Ford also has established an Engineering Center in Mexico, which employs more than 1,100 engineers who support global projects...   $2.5G investment...new generation of engines and transmissions in the states of Chihuahua and Guanjuato...   will bring 3,800 direct new jobs plus additional indirect jobs to Mexico'...   In 2009, SA-based multi-nationals maintained 969K jobs in Mexico.   By 2012, the latest year for which BEA has published numbers, that had climbed to 1,106,700 jobs -- an increase of 137,700 in four years.   Of the 1,106,700 jobs USA-controlled multi-nationals maintained in Mexico in 2012, 546,500 -- or 49% -- were in manufacturing.   BEA reported that at least 100K of the jobs that U.S.A.-based multi-nationals had created in Mexico as of 2012 were in manufacturing 'transportation equipment'.   53,700 were in manufacturing 'computers and electronic products'...   In Malaysia, which has a population of about 30M, U.S.A.-controlled multi-nationals have already created 157,900 jobs, according to the BEA.   112K of those -- or about 71% -- are manufacturing jobs.   Of those manufacturing jobs, 83K are in manufacturing 'computers and electronic products'..."

Mankiller money?
World Net Daily
"But none of us would have to fight about whom to put on currency if it weren't all created and printed by a central government.   Bitcoin is private currency that comes in many forms.   People who prefer dogs as the symbol of their money can even use the digital currency Dogecoin.   Private currencies aren't just a 21st-century novelty.   Numerous banks used to print their own competing currencies.   Contrary to the claims of John Kenneth Galbraith and other left-wing economists, private competition tended to prevent runaway inflation and deep [and extended] depressions.   Economist Thomas Hogan wrote, 'There were 1,600 private corporations issuing banknotes and an estimated 8,370 varieties of notes' in the 19th century, while the U.S. economy 'grew at an average rate of 4.4% per year [and] the price level remained roughly constant.'..."

Antonin Scalia truly seeks justice, and knows his place in guaranteeing it
"He said humbly that the Supreme Court was less important in citizens' lives than state and local courts, where 90% of jurisprudence is administered.   Most important legal matters that affect us are decided locally.   If one commits murder, in the 50 states there can be 50 different burdens of proof and punishments.   Rape, robbery, divorce, child custody, etc. are all local court decisions.   The Supremes are just there to referee in case the Constitution is violated...   When justice John Paul Stevens left the Supreme Court at age 89 (he was so old they had to keep reminding him to close his robe), we no longer had a Protestant on the Supreme Court...   Justice Scalia also feels that students should read 'The Federalist Papers' and Alexis de Tocqueville (_Democracy in America_).   Public school unions would not like students reading about limited government and personal responsibility.   Kids today probably think de Tocqueville is a town in Colorado known for its killer weed.   Scalia surprised most when he said one of his best friends on the court is [leftist] justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.   She's fun and usually wins the case of Ginsburg v. Jack Daniels.   At 83, justice Ginsburg will not step down unless the NY Yankees sign her.   Justice Antonin Scalia will turn 80 soon.   I predict that, in a closely followed Supreme Court decision, the justices will vote 5 to 4 to get him a cake."

"applications have drastically declined since the end of the recession, and law schools are dealing with a 40-year low for enrollment.   Despite the fact that graduating classes are smaller, making the numbers look better, law school administrators celebrate 'great strides' in their graduates' employability, popping bottles of champagne for because 59.9% of graduates are employed as lawyers nationwide [while, according to BLS figures, the overall nationwide unemployment rates for lawyers have been running about 0.6% to 2.5%, but mostly about 1.4%, as compared to the 'full employment' unemployment rate for lawyers of about 1%; the very small sample size is the probably cause for most of the variation in estimates]...   Charlotte Law is a for-profit school that's part the evil empire that is better known as the InfiLaw System.   The school received full accreditation from the American Bar Association just four years ago, in 2011.   As of the 2013-2014 academic year, the total cost of a 3-year J.D. degree from Charlotte Law was $123,792.00, while the median loan debt per graduate was $159,208.00.   Just 34% of the class of 2014 was employed in full-time, long-term jobs where bar passage was required, but disappointing employment statistics like this have been a constant since the school was accredited.   All of this easily searchable, damning information has been posted on-line for years."

"American conservatives are seen as the threat, he said, while ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate militants threatening attacks on U.S. soil and [Red Chinese] hackers getting into the personnel files of 18M government employees are not.   'I'm telling you that as far as people like [Obummer] and [White House senior adviser] Valerie Jarrett and everybody in the regime and the media, the threat they face is domestic political opposition.', he said.   'ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate is not threatening their power.   The ChiComs [Limbaugh's name for Chinese communists] are not threatening their power.   ChiComs are not here.   ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate is not here.'   But Republicans and conservatives are here, he said, and run against them in elections, threatening their hold on power."

arsenic in rice
"Arsenic is found naturally in soil and water.   Most food crops don't readily absorb much of it.   But rice is an exception.   It has a natural tendency to take in and concentrate environmental arsenic...   White basmati rice from California, India, and Pakistan contains about 50% less arsenic as white basmati rice from Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana.   Overall, any type of white rice from California contains about 38% less arsenic than any other white rice...   On average, brown rice contains 80% more arsenic than does white rice of the same type...   One serving of hot rice cereal (¼ cup uncooked) and one serving of rice pasta (2 ounces uncooked) are loaded with arsenic.   Just a single serving of either food accounts for about half of the recommended weekly maximum amount of rice for adults...   amaranth, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, and polenta (or grits) contain lower levels of arsenic.   So do gluten-containing grains such as bulgur, barley, and farro.   Studies suggest that you can remove 30%–50% of the arsenic in rice by cooking it like pasta.   Thoroughly rinse raw rice before cooking, boil it in a mixture of 6 cups of water to every 1 cup of rice, and then drain the excess water."

House passed crony socialist Trade Adjustment Assistance as part of TPA + TAA + TPP + TATIP + TISA package to further harm USA job markets
Little aid will go to US citizens displaced from jobs, or made less able to land new jobs, and much will go to politically-connected "training" outfits, which do little in the way of substantive, valuable training.   But this will let the corrupt politicians claim they're helping Americans, when they are actually harming millions of Americans to enrich their own socialist cronies.

Patrick Thibodeau _NetworkWorld_/_IDG_
Obummer+RINO defeat of the US citizenry on TPA and TAA brings increases unease over H-1B and other trade in services: Will the Trans-Pacific Partnership he's negotiating tie the hands of visa reformers?
"But Daniel Costa, director of immigration law and policy research at the Economic Policy Institute, isn't so sure.   One aspect of the agreement that remains a secret is the Investor-State Dispute Mechanism, which might serve as a way for a foreign corporation to challenge an immigration law, policy or practice, if a firm feels that 'visa processing times, fees, or rules are too onerous and cut into profits', he said.   Froman, said Costa, 'doesn't say whether TPP would have a chilling effect on the development of future immigration rules or practices -- he just says no current law, regulation, policy, or practice will be impacted'.   Costa and Ron Hira, an associate professor of public policy at Howard University, argue, in an analysis for the EPI, said that the trade agreement will usurp America's immigration authority.   Some law-makers have been pushing for restrictions on the H-1B visa, particularly as it is used by off-shore out-sourcing firms.   One proposal has been to restrict H-1B usage to 50% [or, more reasonable, 2%] of a firm's work-force...   For example, said Stock, this means that even if the [Obummer regime] agreed to always make at least 65K H-1B visas available per year, it wouldn't prevent Congress from [cutting that number to 1K/year or] making other changes to the H-1B program.   In fact, even if specific commitments were made, it 'wouldn't prevent congress from making changes, it would just be possible for other states to complain to the World Trade Organization if we did, and possibly get agreement to impose reciprocal restrictions on U.S. service providers in their country'.   [But the USA could then tell them to shove it and the evil, injust WTO they rode in on.]"
OT1H, TPP, TATIP and TISA not to be treaties, but only "executive agreements". OTOH, all that is necessary to set aside an agreement or treaty is a simple majority of each house, and signature from the president... plus the political courage and respect for the US citizen electorate to do it.

Conservative Review
"You wouldn't know it from listening to the media and the political discourse in this country, but there is a crisis unfolding with the endless release of violent criminal aliens into our communities.   [Obummer] has released 76K criminal aliens over the past two years and there are now a total of 169K potentially violent illegal aliens walking free in our communities with almost no desire from federal authorities to monitor their whereabouts or deport them.   Meanwhile, 424 sex offenders have been released and 121 criminal aliens have been charged with homicide after being released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (US ICE) custody."

"...Natural rights, foremost among which after life itself is freedom of expression, are gifts from God.   They are not manmade and hence cannot be transferred to a man-made entity.   They are as natural to us as are the fingers on our hands.   We don't need a government permission slip in order to exercise them.   In the case of speech, it is especially dangerous to accord the natural rights of persons to the government because the state can use its monopoly of force to silence, drown out or intimidate the speech of any persons it hates and fears.   When the state speaks, its expressions have an aura of legitimacy and can be used for narrow, sectarian, even hateful purposes.   But the whole purpose of the First Amendment is to keep the government out of the business of speech..."

The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the nationwide tax subsidies under [president Barack Hussein Obummer's] health care [perversion]...   The justices said in a 6-3 ruling that the subsidies that 8.7M people currently receive to make insurance affordable do not depend on where they live, under the 2010 health care law...   Of course, Roberts is living in the twilight zone if he truly believes [ObummerDoesn'tCare] helps improve the health insurance markets.   The law has had devastating results, causing huge increases in health care costs and creating an environment where health insurance companies are consolidating into a monopoly.   The people didn't want [ObummerDoesn'tCare].   But big corporate insurers, big pharma, the president, congress and now the supreme court did. So that's that, America. They all win and we all lose. So much for 'representative' government."

"On Thursday, representative Jim Sensenbrenner, Wisconsin Republican, and representative Bobby Scott, Virginia Democrat, introduced the Safe, Accountable, Fair and Effective Justice Act of 2015 (SAFE), a bill that reforms the criminal justice system from top to bottom.   The bill applies lessons learned in the states, and combines many of the best features of congressional proposals on justice reform from the last few years.   These reforms come none too soon.   Our federal prisons are in crisis, and expanding at a rapid pace.   Between 1980 and 2013, the federal incarceration rate jumped 518% as we sent more people to prison and kept them there longer.   Naturally, costs shot up along with that growth.   [Tax-victims] will pour $6.9G into the Bureau of Prisons this year, with substantial increases each year into the foreseeable future..."

There is nothing more degrading than being required to train a replacement, at the same time recognizing your own knowledge and skills, while claiming that the only reason the guest-workers were brought in were because they already had those specific skills, but you did not...   especially, as is the case here, some of the US STEM professionals had recently received recognition -- certificates, raises, promotions -- because they were doing a great job.
 
The India-based and Bahamas-based and German-based and USA-based bodyshops have long abused loop-holes designed and written into the laws and regulations to increase margins by paying the guest-workers (salary + total benefits) less.   A dozen or more studies have been done on pay to H-1B guest-workers, and several executives of India-based cross-border bodyshops, and trade ministers, have admitted, even boasted, that they pay the guest-workers considerably less.   Some studies concluded the increased margin (i.e. the US local market compensation minus the compensation to guest-workers) was about 10%, most about 12%, one bodyshop executive claimed it was about 35% of US local market pay.
 
This does not take into account the practice, frowned on even by the US DoL, of claiming the local market in which the guest-work will be done is some semi-rural, low-cost-of-living, low-pay part of the USA, while actually sending them into high-cost-of-living, generally higher-pay city (e.g. Manhattan, DC, San Francisco and Sili Valley, Los Angeels, Chicago).  
 
H-1B guest-workers are not required to have superior skills.   They're not required to have knowledge that just about any US citizen STEM professional would be unable to pick up in less than a month of specialized training.   But the US government has drawn the line at, e.g. claiming a laundry equipment repair person as requiring specialized STEM skills.
 
There are firms, who have engaged in extreme abuses, and 1 or 2 firms who have dispropotionately high numbers of guest-workers in their employ, which have been required to go through the motions of pretending to consider hiring US citizen job applicants.   They don't have to seriously consider hiring them, only to go through the motions.   And the time periods of the restrictions are typically only a few months.
 
Some firms, including both Boeing and India-based bodyshops, who have abused B-1 visas for bringing guest-workers.
 
There is a widespread recognition (except in DC and NY, NY and the board-rooms and executive suites of Sili Valley) that India-based companies, and USA-based companies, and Germany-based companies, and Bahamas-based companies, and Ghana-based companies have played fast and loose in trying to make a quick buck.   But the India-based companies have done a lot more of it, sponsored a lot more H-1B and related guest-work visas, and racked in a lot more cash.
 
"Along the way, American [STEM professionals] feel [resentful of individuals whom they recognize] are not skilled enough and have poor communication skills [or have shown themselves to be scammers/frauds], while Indian H-1B holders are aghast when they discover that they are being paid a fraction of a client's billed amount."   There are also resentments at US citizens being closed out of work opportunities in universities, including research opportunities of which they are capable, which before H-1B they would very likely have had open to them, but no longer.   There are resentments of knowledge being transferred out of the USA, including national defense matters and intellectual property.   There are resentments that proper background investigations are not being conducted on foreign students nor guest-workers, nor refugees, putting US citizens at higher immediate risk, and much greater long-term risk.   There are resentments of great time and other resources being diverted to foreign students and guest-workers who have little attachment to USA culture and ideals and who do not show any signs of valuing or supporting that culture or those ideals.   There is resentment of the student to OPT to guest-work to green card pipe-line "It's an ugly situation all around."
 
"H-1B issues always heat up the closer we get to an election year" when politicians are floating bills with more extreme extensions and lowering standards, and when US citizens have the chance to "vote their pay-checks" for non-incumbents more likely to cut the excessive visas, and set or increase standards.   But president Barack Hussein Obummer, Marco Rubio, Lindsey Grahamnesty, Orrin Hatch, Nancy Pelosi, Jeff Flake, Zoe Lofgren, Kelly Ayotte, Luis Gutierrez, Chuck Schumer, Amy Klobuchar, Harry Reid, Bob Corker, John Cornyn, and even Ted Cruz have talked and acted against US citizens' interests in this regard.
 
"In 2014, while 6 [of the top 10 H-1B sponsors by numbers of visas] were [based in India] (with Infosys leading the table by a huge margin, at 32,379, versus second-place TCS, at 8,785)... Deloitte, IBM [which hasn't been genuinely American since the 1930s when they were working for the Nazis], Accenture [an Andersen Consulting spin-off based in the Bahamas], and MSFT [with many employees in Red China, and always rotten software] made up the remainder of the top 10, while Ernst & Young and [massive privacy violator 'always do wrong'] Google sneaked into 11th and 12th places." Of course, a few of the top H-1B users/abusers are about as much based in India as in the USA. So, it's clear why the India-based cross-border bodyshoppers and off-shorers get more criticism, are more often caught out in blatant, in-your-face abuses, than the domestic bodyshops. A border-line case pops into mind -- that of Convergys -- a former "IT" division of Cincinnati Bell, which contracted with the state government of Florida, verbally agreeing to do most of the work in Florida, and most of the rest in the USA, but in actuality, sub-contracting it out to an off-shoring outfit based in India.
 
Yes, the H-1B guest-work visa is a very bad problem. The availability of cheap, young, pliant, low-skilled guest-workers with questionable ethics, allows the compensation cuts, it facilitates the age discrimination (when increasing productive life expectancies increasing beyond 75 years), it facilitates the off-shore knowledge transfers, the intellectual property theft, and both industrial and political espionage and sabotage. It cuts off both the beginning rungs of career ladders, and what are typically peak earning years in the affected occupations and industries.
 
Ian Hathaway apparently fails to define "high-skilled", "ease" and "difficult" when it comes to recruiting. He fails to define a neutral pre-H-1B base-line. He refuses to recognize even blatant cases like Southern California Edison, Fossil, and Disney where the able and willing, skilled US citizen STEM professionals are being dumped. There are many more cases much less blatant, and many many more which are nearly invisible because of dumping a US citizen over here and failure to hire an able and willing US citizen over there; these show up only in duration of unemployment figures, and even then would need to be sorted out by individual knowledge and skill-level criteria. One issue that has generally received broad support amont the citizenry is the idea of reducing the numbers of visas to manageable levels, restricting the remaining to genuinely highly-skilled, ethical guest-workers and immigrants, and running proper background investigations to help ensure the latter. But this idea is not popular among employers who want more cheap, young, pliant workers with questionable ethics, nor with their imigration lawyers and lobbyists. However, the citizenry who desire reform, don't have the financial, travel, and old-boy connections that the anti-reform forces have.
 
Employment in these fields is critical to economic growth, to financial survival of the professionals in these fields, yet over the last 15+ years one-half to two-thirds of recently graduated US citizen STEM workers, and 78% or more of US citizen STEM professionals past the age of 35 are being locked out. Increasing the numbers of these low-skill, no-skill H-1B visas which have already been pushing "native-born" US citizens out of STEM occupations is insane. Such facts are certainly main-stream.
 
Of course, it is totally possible, using such hand-waving terminology as is common in Ian Hathaway's and Rajiv Rao's articles, to have too many employees and job candidates with set A of knowledge and skills at level B, and not enough candidates at sub-sub-sub-sub-set C of knowledge and skills at level D. But few are willing to be so precise as to allow light to pierce the fog, and the necessary data is hard to develop or find. Yes, the flood of cheap foreign guest-workers with questionable ethics has hindered recovery from the last several stock market crashes and recessions. The BLS and other statistics make clear that no job market recovery since at least 1980 has been complete before the next recession hit. Economists including Lester Thurow have pointed out the weakening definition of "full employent" having allowed for lower and lower employed/population ratios.
 
The cited 1999 Monthly Labor Review article by Carolyn M. Veneri fails to adequately define "tight labor market" (and the same failure has persisted in the quarterly FRB _Beige Book_ reports, nor when directly questioned). Nor is the word "qualified" defined in any remotely adequate and objective way. For example, an employer could say that no US citizen candidate is "qualified" simply because he does not wish to hire a US citizen. A demand for a particular degree from a limited list of institutions is often an exercise in irrational hyper-credentialism. Traditionally, some 50% of engineers did not have college or university degrees. More recently, NSF statistics showed that about 20% of engineers do not have degrees with engineering majors, and about 44% of software engineers and computer programmers do not have degrees with "computer science" or "information management" or "information sciences" majors (which Veneri acknowledges). Indeed, it has been known for high school students to produce high quality commercial software products. Some of the best programmers, systems administrators, systems analysts and data-base analysts and designers hae had backgrounds in music, classical languages and literature.
 
Veneri cites lobbying groups for executives, an early book co-authored by my academic adviser, but not Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility, a similar group of Science PhDs, the Programmers Guild, EPI, the Georgetown U Immigration institute or any other neutral or differing sources. Veneri acknowledges and yet neglects compensation in her consideration of shortage vs. glut, but Hathaway is far worse. (It would have been difficult to hire Ben Carson to do an especially difficult bit of neuro-surgery on your favorite daughter at $10/hour, or to buy a 500+ HP 4-cylinder Porsche in 1990 for $200 or even $20K. So, one must acknowledge and analyze based on the specific skills, specific skill-level, specific location, AND prevailing market wage/price for the specific job. Averages, medians, comparing neuro-surgeons to street-sweepers, actors to software engineers to judges, software engineers to junior coders simply won't do. Employers may have to increase relocation assistance, increase investment in more substantive training, reduce the specificity of desires.)
 
Several current and former computer science professors I consulted (one, in particular, at NSF) were surprised to find the degree of specificity in "skills" demanded in today's job ads, insisting that anyone with an adequate intelligence and a solid foundation should be seriously recruited, even if he doesn't have long experience with version 5.2.7 of a brand-G tool, or has experience only with 4.8.4 or a very similar tool of brand-H. What is a reasonable skill half-life for a specific occupational niche?   Certainly 20 years would be reasonable, but in STEM fields continuous learning is nearly universal. Two years is ridiculously too short (how would the CS professors learn or develop the new skill to be able to teach it?) so something in the range of 8-15 years would seem reasonable, accompanied by a specific, substantive 2-16 week training course for new-hires and 2-4 weeks for retained employees, which, before H-1B were the norms.
 
Paraphrasing Veneri, if shortages in an occupation were to develop the specific occupation's employment growth would be strong; job applications would fall (e.g. from 30K/month to 100/month in the case of a Google); the occupation's wage and non-wage compensation (vacation, pension plans, expense accounts, gym memberships, preventive medicine benefits, shares of stock, stock options, etc.) would increase relative to those same occupations' base-lines (not the base-lines for judges or CEOs or school-teachers or actors or machinists; Ian Hathaway's first graph -- inflation-adjusted median wage -- is questionable for beginning in a recession rather than a more reasonable base-line year for these occupations like 1980 or 1983, before the flood of cheap H-1B labor began and for showing only rate of change rather then level; his unemployment rate graph is similarly faulty and a graph of, e.g. employed or uneployed/STEM talent pool would be more meaningful; number unemployed fails to account those drive out of STEM or who have not been actively seeking work), job advertising would increase through all media, job ads would include direct contact information for hiring managers (not immigration lawyers or HR departments), and "candidate management systems"/"applicant management systems" (a.k.a. black holes), would be set aside or eliminated as a gate-keeping mechanism, specific key-words and brand-names would be abandoned in favor of more generic terms, the gauntlet of multiple telephone and video-conference screenings (with their ridiculous "trivial pursuit"/"human compiler" quizzes) would be pared or eliminated and genuine interviews would become more common, relocation assistance would cover more of such costs, training would have increasing substance as well as duration, indicating the market response by employers to attract more able and willing workers; and the unemployment rate for that occupation would be expected to decline as compared with historical full employment levels (or some reasonable proxy) for that and closely related occupational niches (sometimes titles change while the jobs remain essentially the same, e.g. computer programmers & software engineers & computer systems analysts; other times genuine shifts occur, or different employers prefer different titles, e.g. coders, junior programmers, software architect; at some firms computer systems analysts do a totally different kind of work from software engineers while at other firms they're interchangeable, making analysis more difficult).
 
One should also be careful not to conflate "IT" jobs with "software product development" (people in the "software publishing" sub-industry of the information industry, who are production workers developing actual software products, while other production workers at the same firm may not be developing the software products) and "contract programming services". Though there can be overlaps, they are totally different cultures, different kinds of work, with different goals, different time constraints, though using some of the same tools.
 
BLS statistics by occupation and by industry, because of small sub-sample sizes, fail to compare unemployment rates and employed/population ratios for US citizens, guest-workers, and green-card grantees; they're all conflated in one big barrel.
 
Define "difficulty filling vacancies". How have recruiting methods for STEM occupations changed since 1970?   How have offers for relocation assistance, training and security clearance sponsorships changed?   Where is the base-line of what is reasonable?   How can we tell when the expectations are unreasonable?   How have tax policies, regulatory policies, trade policies, affected employers' willingness to invest in advertising open positions (full-page and other display print ads, general readership publications vs. trade publications, classifieds, on-line ads, bounties for referrals, public job fairs, university job fairs, other on-campus recruiting...), active recruiting, flying candidates from throughout the USA in for interviews, training, relocation assistance, training, etc.?
 
The direct experience of millions of US citizen STEM professionals trumps strained theories every time. Nobody in the last 90 years has suggested that all vehicles driven in the USA must be vehicles made in the USA, but it is reasonable to insist on percentage country of origin labeling (COOL) and competition. (Ditto for shoes, boots, shirts, pants, beef, fish, rice, soy beans, sorghum, wheat, blueberries, strawberrise/Erdbeeren, lemon juice, etc. And, yes, the quality of Apple products has also been falling to MSFT levels; I would not buy a share of Apple or MSFT or Oracle or Google or FB or LinkedIn or GE or Siemens stock for the reasons mentioned.) Thank you for agreeing that 90%-98% of the H-1Bs do not have especially high-level skills and are not doing especially high-level jobs; that's a good reason to increase standards and reduce numbers. I would not want to invite in people who do not defend free and honest markets, do not eagerly buy-in to the US Declaration of Independence and Constitution, or who engage in or advocate the initiation of force or fraud. In the abundant presence of evidence that excessive guest-work visas (E-3 + F-1+OPT + H-1B + J-1 + L-1B...) have been and continue to harm bright, knowledgeable, creative, industrious US citizen STEM professionals it may be more productive to stop wasting the talent of US citizen STEM professionals, and tool & die makers, and precision machinists, and stone-masons, and brick-masons, and roofers... and open up the value chain to the millions of them who are now unemployed and under-employed.
 
Ethical considerations have been neglected. How can abusive firms like Google, GE, Siemens, FB, LinkeIn and Oracle (not to mention local, state and federal government operations) continue their unethical privacy violations for decades?   Because, with the flood of cheap foreign labor, they have a ready supply of people with no qualms against such abuses.
 
Most of these abuses are not restricted to guest-workers brought into the USA, but also those brought into the UK and Western Europe.

to teach or preach?: the meaning of true education
"...if education is likened to a garden, then the educator is really a spiritual gardener.   A gardener interacts with a seed.   If he has a pear seed, then he wants to identify it is as a pear seed so that it will become a pear tree.   If he has a carrot seed, he will want it to become a carrot.   An educator's job is to create an environment that feeds you ideas that will nourish you in a manner in which you will grow and flourish.   An educator only wants you to be who you are.   While an educator is like a gardener, an indoctrinator is like a carpenter.   A carpenter imposes his vision on a raw material, while a gardener sets his vision according to his seed; whatever you are, he wants you to become.   To indoctrinate is to coerce.   It involves imposing the teacher's values -- aspirations, identity and character -- on the student, so that the student will become like the teacher and reflect the teacher.   In the process of indoctrination, a conflict is liable to arise between the teacher and the student because the teacher has a message he wants the student to accept, even at the expense of the student's unique identity and individuality.."

"...America is built on the simple premise that no system can be more legitimate than its natural laws and founding premises.   It does not matter how many judges or politicians try to suspend the First or Second Amendments.   All they are doing is removing their own legitimacy.   When a system acts illegally, then its dictates are not the law of the land, they are the law of force.   [ObummerDoesn'tCare] is coercion.   Forcing people to participate in gay marriages is coercion.   The FHA ruling is coercion.   We may be compelled into compliance, but compulsion is all it is.   It isn't law or justice..."

Fred Kummerow found link between trans fats, heart disease
"His diet may seem a bit old school to some, but this man, Fred Kummerow, has long been ahead of his time -- or ahead of time in general.   Kummerow turned 100 years old last October.   A professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, he was one of the first to discover a link between trans fats in processed foods and heart disease.   It's taken the scientific community a half-century to ultimately accept his findings...   'Kummerow knew about trans fats starting in 1957, but the establishment juggernaut rolled on.', Geoffrey Cannon, an international adviser at the World Cancer Research Fund...   he argued against trans fats in front of the Federal Trade Commission.   His testimony was dismissed because he was a chemist and not a cardiologist.   In 2009, he wrote a petition to the FDA, complaining that its labeling requirements, which let labels read '0' for anything containing less than a half-gram [500mg] of trans fats, gave license to food companies to essentially lie about the contents of their products.   He recommended that trans fats be banned.   The FDA did not respond..."

"North Africa's Barbary Coast pirates alone captured and enslaved at least a million Europeans from 1500 to 1800, carrying more Europeans into bondage in North Africa than there were Africans brought in bondage to the United States and the American colonies from which it was formed. Moreover, Europeans were still being bought and sold in the slave markets of the Islamic world, decades after blacks were freed in the United States." --- Thomas Sowell 2008 _Economic Facts & Fallacies_ pg161 (citing Robert C. Davis 2003 _Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters; White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy 1500-1800_ pg23; Philip D. Curtin 1969 _The Atlantic Slave Trade: A Census_ pp72, 87, 91; R.W. Beachey 1976 _The Slave Trade of Eastern Africa_ pg137; Ehud R.

an Appeal to Heaven
"The Bradley county court-house has flown an historic flag just below our stars and stripes; it features a simple evergreen tree and the phrase 'Appeal to Heaven'.   The ATH flag has a rich history, being first commissioned by George Washington to fly over Navy schooners during the Revolutionary War.   Washington knew the colonies needed God's intervention as they battled for freedom -- they had no recourse but to call on God.   The appeal to heaven ultimately granted America freedom.   This is our foundation!   And the few who disdain this foundation want the innocent but illustrious flag removed...   the patriots of old knew America's hope for freedom was rooted in God.   And unlike any other, the idea of 'America' would be exceptional in that we would dedicate to God this land over-flowing with the blessings of liberty..."

"A constitution was created for a purpose, to prescribe & restrict what power could be wielded, by whom, & within what limits... the Constitution of the US was written down to fix the limits of gov't power -- not forever, but until an authorized change was made in an authorized way." --- Thomas Sowell 1995 _The Vision of the Anointed_ pg 229
