Don't worry we haven't forgotten about the filth Democrats. Our REVENGE on Democrats will get underway soon, we will make them PAY dearly.

We’re seeing a range of headlines today about the “MAGA civil war” centered on immigration policy. Is the point to put America to work for Americans (MAGA-coded “real Americans,” of course)? Or is it to open the flood gates for engineers from Bangalore and Taiwan to achieve maximum efficiency and the global dominance of Silicon Valley? Vivek Ramaswamy baldly went there with a long post arguing that you simply can’t staff Silicon Valley with native-born Americans because the country is mired in a “culture of mediocrity.” “A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers,” he continued. It’s worth reading because it distills a specific viewpoint, at least parts of which many people agree with and which has powerful backers in Silicon Valley.

But let me suggest that a “MAGA civil war” isn’t the right frame to understand any of this. MAGA of the 2024-25 era is more like an electoral machine built around Donald Trump. Itr runs very well. Who gets to run it and who does it work for? Good white folk from Middle America or the best and the brightest from South Asia? MAGA never really had core policies. It had impulses. A huge amount of canonical Trumpism, as it was articulated during the Biden years, was a raft of policies and goals that were little more than payback over the Mueller probe. With Trump now tired and on the way out, there’s an increasing free-for-all over who gets the keys. Musk? Bannon? Ramaswamy? The Project 2025 Heritage Crowd? JD Vance and Josh Hawley and anti-cat ladyism?

It’s Not Really a MAGA Civil War, More Like a Battle Over the Steering Wheel

We’re seeing a range of headlines today about the “MAGA civil war”...

With the orange enemy of the state following Musk's lead on the budget battle and H1B visa fight, one Musk was mocked over by famed nihilist Steve Bannon, are the elbows already flying for the time when trump's mental decline becomes more apparent than it already is?

The left's fantasies are so very, very weird.

Get out of the way, fascist, we're going to govern you very, very hard for the next four years.

It doesn't seem like Vivek did himself any favors with this comment.

Sounds a lot like the POT. Ever since Ford became prez in the wake of Watergate the former GOP has elected a collection of dolts and halfwits. Reagan, Bush, and trump are the intellectual equivalent of the 3 stooges.

The problem is that we need more talented engineers to keep our technological lead. Can AI be used to advantage? Stay tuned.
Oligarchs can bring foreigners in with bribes of wealth and hope they don't steal the technology and sell it to our enemies.
OR, we can try to develop more talented native born engineers.
How can we get more talented native people into STEM careers?
1. Its boring as hell, numbers all day every day. Reading Code books. Math intensive. Very few women become engineers.
2. Colleges only take a very limited number of high potential engineering students, and many of those flunk out, (not talented?).
3. I recall a case recently in NYU where a professor of organic chemistry was fired for not coddling students. Organic is very difficult.

NYU Professor Maitland Jones Jr. fired for being too hard says colleges ‘coddle students’

An NYU chemistry professor who claimed he was fired after students complained his class was too hard said colleges “coddle” students when they should be applying “tough love.&#822…

4. So Vivek and Elon have a very insightful position, US kids do not pursue STEM subjects with enough intensity, and therefore the US does not have enough talented engineers and scientists. IMHO we need to pay talented engineers more to attract more talent. Why bust your ass learning organic chemistry when I can become a stock broker or financial analyst or a business administration major and have a better shot at upper management?

Pay Upfront or America Will Lag Behind

Don't expect to get many people who are willing to be punished before they are rewarded.

Boy, it's a good thing none of that is happening.

 

[hadit]

It’s important to understand that Trump is the product of a GOP that more than 50 years ago abandoned democracy and embraced authoritarian fascism, resulting in the tyranny of Republican minority rule we suffer from today; ‘Trumpism/MAGA’ is just the most recent manifestation of failed, wrongheaded conservative dogma.

This is a struggle, then, as how to best advance the fascist Republican agenda post-Trump – will there be a ‘new’ Trump or will a junta of authoritarian ideologues take charge.

Good thing none of that's going on, huh?

The schools in places run by people like you are a disgrace. Vivek is right, DemoKKKrats have destroyed education and turned themselves into woke clowns useless for anything other than sex work or slavery.

Lessee…….wannabe dictator Trump fights for two years to get into office to be a dictator, and as soon as he does he steps aside.

HAMbergER is a total joke. He takes someone not in charge......tries to project what he and his group might think, and ignores those supposedly in charge, because they are totally incompetent. But then again, how can you bring a spotlight onto Jose', when everyone knows he is in charge of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

I am not going to tell you these LEFTISTS will never have anything to point at, but I will tell you is----------->they are creating FANTASY's and hoping you buy their bullsh**, because that is all they have. What else are they going to do; continue to talk about how wonderful Joe and Mamala are, lol. Even they know that is a lost cause, so they would rather attack you by SUGGESTING what THEY think something might mean, lol.

Call these people what they are, phony's, grifters, and SOCIALISTS. Never, ever, let them off the hook!

I'm not against the H-1B program. I just don't like seeing it abused and used to cut costs for Corporate profit.
It was never intended for that purpose. As usual a good program sullied and used improperly.

Some talking head said Boeing uses $9/hr programmers to write their software.

Whether they are here or in India why bust your ass and get replaced with low cost talent?

It is now fair to ask the question: Is Elon Musk a national security risk?

According to numerous interviews and remarks, Mr. Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency co-leader, Vivek Ramaswamy, once appeared to believe he was. In May 2023, Mr. Ramaswamy went so far as to publicly state, “I have no reason to think Elon won’t jump like a circus monkey when Xi Jinping calls in the hour of need,” a reference to China’s leader. In a separate X post targeting Mr. Musk, he wrote, “the U.S. needs leaders who aren’t in China’s pocket.”

Mr. Ramaswamy has since walked back his numerous public criticisms of Mr. Musk, but he was right to raise concerns. According to news reports, Mr. Musk and his rocket company, SpaceX, face federal reviews from the Air Force, the Defense Department’s Office of Inspector General and the under secretary of defense for intelligence and security for failing to provide details of Mr. Musk’s meetings with foreign leaders and other potential violations of national-security rules.
