As you know, our enemies are working overtime to destroy Trump & MAGA before he can be inaugurated. They are trying every trick in the book to divide and conquer - but the psy-op is the most sinister ploy and it fools the most people.
I want to show you how people you think you can trust on social media can take you for a ride. This is short but complicated - and very REAL and it all just happened.
Right before Christmas, we had the CR budget psy-op confrontation that I wrote about last week that was engineered by the swamp to confuse and divide MAGA before Trump’s inauguration.
THEN, around Christmas-time, out of nowhere, another huge “heated” debate began on Twitter (X) about the “H-1B” VISA program that is used to import legal temporary foreign workers. Frankly, the average voter knows nothing about this particular legal immigration program and cares little about it - but the discussion was elevated to a frantic and feverish pitch for days on Twitter (X.) Why did that happen??
The “fight” was between so-called MAGA influencers like Laura Loomer & hundreds of her Koch-funded pals and AGAINST Trump, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy & David Sacks (the Tech Bros) who have been chosen by Trump to lead AI, crypto and his DOGE cost-cutting initiative.
Loomer accused the Tech Bros of being anti-American and trying to manipulate Trump into replacing American workers with temporary foreign workers through the H-1B VISA program.
BTW - before we go on - remember that the Tech Bros have nothing to do with immigration policy - that’s Stephen Miller’s job. Stephen Miller is the Trump advisor & CoS that will lead immigration policy in the Trump administration - not Musk/Vivek’s DOGE - so that alone is a sign that this entire debate is about something else.
The media automatically honed in on the debate and began screaming that MAGA IS FALLING APART and said that, because of the fracture, Mike Johnson would be removed as Speaker and Trump would not be certified and inaugurated.
Whoa - how did that happen? How did we get from here to there in just a few days?
It even made the primetime news on CNN.
Hmm. All that happened in just a few days over Christmas. I said from the start that it was way too coordinated and out of control to be organic. It had to be a psy-op. Charlie Kirk and few others agreed with me. I’m going to show you why I think that - step-by-step - and where it came from.
I believe the the real purpose of this entire manufactured debate against H-IB is really about hurting Trump & DOGE - and neutering Elon & Vivek’s ability to complete Trump’s agenda, usher in a new Golden Age, cut the budget and drain the swamp. Congress doesn’t want their budget cut - they want to keep on grifting.
Where did this debate come from? How did it start? Was it manufactured for the narrative and who was behind it? I think it’s important to look at the timeline to understand what role everybody played in this latest drama.
First, few are talking about the fact that Biden announced a new rule for the H-1B visa on December 17th clarifying who can apply for an H-1B work visa. During Trump’s first term, he revised the H-1B visa program to help Americans and Biden changed it back to help Big Tech replace Americans.
Let’s look at that and what H-1B really is.
The H-1B non-immigrant visa category allows US organizations temporarily to employ foreign workers in “specialty” occupations: positions requiring a bachelor’s degree or higher (or its equivalent) in a specific specialty. It is predominantly used for jobs in technology and software development, engineering, healthcare, education and academia, and business and financial services.
Congress statutorily limited the number of new H-1B visas that may be approved each fiscal year. In most years, demand for H-1B visas exceeds the available quota, making it a coveted visa category.
Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) just published a new regulation to “modernize” the H‑1B program that takes effect on January 17, 2025. Democrats wanted codification of the H-1B’s cap exemptions for research jobs to allow nonprofits and academia to sponsor the visas year-round. Hmm. Think about that.
TEAM BIDEN: “I’m glad that President Biden took action to streamline the H-1B program, which will strengthen our economy and make it easier for U.S. businesses to sponsor DACA recipients for work permits. Of course there’s still more work to do to protect Dreamers and TPS [Temporary Protected Status] recipients, and I’m going to keep pushing this administration to do all they can to protect hardworking immigrant families.”
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is legally limited to awarding 65,000 H-1Bs per year, with an additional 20,000 for applicants with advanced degrees, but many nonprofits are exempt from that cap. Applicants are chosen by a lottery system for review, meaning eligible applicants are often denied due to chance. Cap-exempt organizations can petition for H-1Bs year-round, and they are not subject to a statutory limit.
Under the new rule, nonprofit and governmental research organizations will be defined as those whose “fundamental activity” is research, rather than the previous “primarily engaged” or “primary mission” definitions, which led to confusion regarding which organizations were exempt from the cap and which were not.
And foreign nationals transitioning from a student visa to an H-1B will be able to extend their post-graduation work permit to a year after they’ve filed their H-1B petition in order to prevent gaps in employment.
The H-1B program has previously come under criticism for being susceptible to abuse in large part by organizations that flood the application system, lowering the chances of applicants subject to the cap lottery.
The final rule, initially proposed in October, has revised the Form I-129 (Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker)—a form required for H-1B filings—which will also be issued on January 17, 2025.
I’m not going to pretend I understand all this mumbo jumbo but I’m guessing some of you do.
However, by doing this, Biden is going to create procedural barriers for the Trump Administration if it wants to make ANY changes to the terms of Biden’s new H-1B rules.
A president can easily rescind, modify, or replace executive orders and administrative policies. However, regulations, such as the H-1B Modernization Rule, are formal rules created by federal agencies that have the force of law and require agencies to go through a formal rulemaking process to make changes. The rulemaking process typically takes at least a few months. Team Trump doesn’t have a few months to spare.
Alternatively, Congress may take action under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overturn the rule by passing a joint resolution of disapproval that is signed by the president.
Both methods are procedurally complex for the Trump Administration to pursue, but the CRA is faster. In other words, if Trump wants to overturn Biden’s rule he needs a joint resolution of disapproval in Congress. Trump needs to convince Congress to alter the changes that Biden just made to the H-1B system.
That’s where this all started.
Elon Musk has always said he is in favor of highly-skilled and vetted LEGAL immigration and so has President Trump. He wants brilliant people to come LEGALLY to America - who love our country. That is nothing new. Both Elon & Vivek have also been in favor of removing abuse from the current H-1B system as well - as has Trump.
On December 22, at 3:39pm, right before Christmas, President Trump announced several new people on his Tech Team under David Sacks - to usher in a new Golden Age in America. I’ve written about this in a 6-part series you should read if you haven’t yet. In order for America to be globally dominant in AI, crypto, nuclear energy, space, missle defense, drone warfare, etc. we will need all the world-class talent we can find and the ability to nurture and develop American talent as well.
One of the people Trump announced that he is bringing in was Sriram Krishnan, as a Senior Policy Advisor for Artificial Intelligence.
His bio is extensive. Sriram Krishnan is a prominent technologist and investor with deep expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and digital platforms. A former senior executive at companies like Twitter, Meta, and Microsoft, Krishnan has helped shape the development of cutting-edge technologies used by millions worldwide. As Senior Policy Advisor for Artificial Intelligence at OSTP, he will advise on the integration of AI across federal agencies, ensuring ethical deployment and robust safeguards against misuse. Krishnan’s role will also focus on fostering collaboration between government, academia, and the private sector to maintain U.S. leadership in AI innovation.
Sriram thanked Trump at 9:39pm on December 22 for the opportunity.
SRIRAM: I'm honored to be able to serve our country and ensure continued American leadership in AI working closely with David Sacks. Thank you President Trump for this opportunity.
Andreessen welcomed Sriram to the team.
On December 22nd, President Trump was busy at AmFest. While Trump was occupied, Milo (who used to work with Bannon & Shapiro at Breitbart) exposed Loomer as a fraud and said she was banned from Mar-a-Lago. He also posted receipts & video. Whatever you think of Milo, he’s not a liar and knows Loomer very, very well.
Milo said that Loomer is free to sue him for defamation if he’s lying - but he’s not and she won’t.
The very next day, December 23rd, at 12:31pm, Laura Loomer started bashing Trump’s AI pick - Sriram - and then went on a tirade against Elon, Sacks, Vivek & DOGE. She began posting negative comments about the Indian community, Sacks and Elon.
So did her sidekicks.
They used the H-1B visa narrative to frame all Indians in a negative light.
On December 23rd at 11:02pm, David Sacks responded to Loomer’s accusations:
Sacks said that Sriram didn't say he wanted to remove all restrictions, just country caps. Country caps say that India (~1.5 billion people) should get as many greencards as Greenland (~50,000 people).
Sacks then acknowledged that Stephen Miller is in charge of immigration policy - not Sriram or Sacks. He basically said that Loomer was going after Siriam with a baseless witch hunt.
Loomer’s pals said she was winning and Trump should fire Sriram.
Three days later, on Christmas Day, President Trump posted this from Elon. This was Trump’s way of saying that he stood with Elon - not Loomer.
At the same time, Loomer started saying that she was going to tell MAGA to stay home and not vote in the next mid-terms and she posted the name and address of Sriram.
Elon told her to remove the post with Sriram’s address and removed her blue check and her ability to make money through Twitter. She basically demonetized herself so she can’t make money off Twitter (X.)
Laura said Elon was lying - that she never did that. Milo said Loomer was lying. It would later be proven that Loomer WAS lying - she admitted it herself.
Loomer said immigrants from India don’t have running water or toilet paper. Racist BS.
Then she called immigrants from India superspreaders…
Then she called Sriram one of Sack’s Indian BOYS. Racist BS.
Then she told Vivek not to fraternize with Speaker Johnson when invited to sporting events by Trump. Manipulative BS.
Then she said Vivek should know we don’t have a caste system in America. Racist BS.
Yet - just a few months ago, Loomer said she wanted Vivek to be the next President.
At the same time she said she didn’t care if Vivek was Hindu. Odd segue.
While at the same time she mocked Kamala for being Hindu. Hypocrisy.
Meanwhile, the Never Trumper RINOS at the Lincoln Project started chiming in with Loomer and started attacking Elon & Vivek, too. Coordinated attack fronts.
MTG - who is not a fan of Loomer - came out as a voice of reason.
Vivek came out to remind everybody that he was for H-1B reform and always has been.
Elon also stated his reform requests.
The discussion shifted to the American education system - which is NOT creating or fostering gifted students. That must change for America to compete and dominate on the global stage.
Elon reacted very negatively to the numerous racist comments made by Loomer about his employees and friends.
So, Laura started attacking Elon directly.
She even went so far as to say that Trump’s cost-cutting program DOGE (run by Elon & Vivek) wasn’t real.
I commented that this is Laura’s MO - she did the same thing in Minnesota. I watched it.
Loomer then said she speaks for ALL OF MAGA. Hmm. NOPE.
Musk basically called Loomer a contemptible fool and an hateful, unrepentant racist.
Two years ago, Musk invited Loomer back to Twitter (after she had been banned by the previous owners) and she was able to build her account up to 1.4 MILLION followers and monetize it. She likely makes a fortune doing this.
After that - Loomer said Big Tech hates her and she wants you to buy her a coffee (but she is using a program run by two Indian executives - which she just slurred.)
AFTER ALL THIS - Trump came out in support of Elon Musk in the New York Post.
Vivek brought up issues with the American school system and our culture which is NOT what it used to be. He’s right - but Loomer’s pals started attacking him for being anti-American. Trump doesn’t close every rally with the statement WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE for nothing. What Vivek says here is very true. Those who deny it are kidding themselves. WE NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT.
The same woke teachers who turn children into Communists at our schools and colleges also run the HR departments at American corporations and hire people based on DEI and ESG rather than merit. That, too, also must change.
Levin nailed it.
So did Chanel.
In the end, David Sacks agreed with me and said it was a psy-op. Loomer denied that - which means for sure that it was. Who paid her to do it?
Last but not least, now caught, Loomer apologized for lying and wants her account monetized again.
The moral of the story is…Trump’s position is pretty clear. It’s the same as mine.
The people who say otherwise are liars.
