Rubio's threat at the end of Mark's post is another aggression by the State Dept. And DHS.
Today I read this in Redacted's newsletter:
"The U.S. says it will start "revoking visas of Chinese students, including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or studying in critical fields."
I searched for further details and clarification, and found two stories at CNN that were straightforward.
I will include links at the end of my comment.
I have a question that was slightly answered in one of the CNN stories~are Chinese high school students included in the visa-revoking?
Our grandchildren's high school has many foreign students, including students from China. The school provides an on-campus dorm for them.
It is a successful program for both American AND international students.
The Trump Admin's policies are most-concerning:
Revoking visas of students because of their home country?!
Deporting students because they speak out against starving and murdering civilians in another country?!
Ya mean without making major donations to get admitted, without paying full tuition plus additional fees?
My wife used to work at a private 6-12 school with a foreign student program. It was actually a major success from an educational standpoint. The foreign students got an immersion in an educational program geared toward traditional Western culture. It probably cost about $50k per year when you add in all the expenses. It allowed the school to give financial aid to deserving American kids.
Thanks. Great detail. There was an article this morning that quoted Jonathan Turley saying, 'Hey, Harvard is in a losing position trying to go toe to toe with the federal government for the next three years.' As a major university law prof I'm pretty sure he knows all those details as well as the legal ramifications of trying to fight Trump on this.
Yes w/o greasing the skids. Private schools with foreign student programs are few and far between where I come from. Traditional Western "liberal" culture education is what seeds future regime change orthodoxy.
Admiral Yamamoto of the Japanese Imperial Navy spent time at Harvard in the 1920's was a benefactor of foreign education. I suppose his learnings around the US Industrial might was shared with others but did not prevent Imperial ambitions.
I believe the intent is more on the collegiate level overall. Government financial aid is always available either through grants or subsidized loans.
Denying domestic kids the opportunity to attend relevant higher education programs in order to load up the foreign-enabled coffers to pay for more language arts classes, "gov't sponsored research", or liberal leaning education has become too mainstream.
Higher education systems need to feel some real pain for a change. Don't get me started on writing off student debt when endowments can offset some and a hard look at reducing the education offering to keep it more relevant.
The premise of the interview is that the Soviets and the US developed ‘clean’ hydrogen fusion weapons with non nuclear conventional primers. Effectively a nuclear weapon sized blast without the nuclear fallout.
The tell tale sign seems to be the rapid move to a Proliferation Treaty after the Tsar bomb and Starfish Prime test.
China’s recent revealing of its development of a conventional (non fusion) hydrogen bomb seems like a veiled threat.
The European Central Banks need the illusion of having captured Ukrainian natural resources in order to argue that their sovereign bonds are backed by sound collateral. As such, they also need the illusion that the ongoing Ukrainian war can be won, or failing that, that a peace agreement will return the Donbass and Crimean resources to European control. Those illusions are getting harder to maintain with each passing day. How soon is Judgement Day? The best indicator is the growing hysteria among the WEF stooges running the EU. The more they panic, the sooner the day of reckoning. The only war coming to Europe will be civil war. The Plan B for the elites of Europe is to foster violent rebellion that pits native plebs against the immigrant hordes. Methinks they have forgotten the history of the French Revolution.
"Those illusions are getting harder to maintain with each passing day"
I can't imagine that *any* of the Big Money people are fooled. So maybe it's the Big Money people trying to fool the little people while they (the BM, so to speak) bail.
The UK is now pursuing legislation to limit capital flight out of the country. This is because the Big Money people are selling their Gilts and buying US Treasuries.
Neither Aristotle nor Aquinas was the primary influence on the natural rights theory of the Declaration. This is more "bizarre" than "incredible." "
Tikvah organization claims that "Western civilization" is based on Hebrew values, wisdom, etc. It's main agenda is training young Jews to "learn about Western civ. from a Jewish perspective;" to prepare to teach same, and to become leaders in US universities & institutions which, as they are "failing," these trainees will "reform."
So, the Jewish Nationalists are angling for the Fourth Reich in America. You had the Roman First Reich, the Byzantine Second Reich, the German Third Reich and now they are to be the Hebrew Fourth Reich based in America run from Israel. Got it...........Oy the chutzpah of these people.
Listening to Gilbert Doctorow. He said he agrees with Ritter than Merz is the most dangerous German since Hitler. Also that Russia will certainly strike Germany if German missiles are used against Russia.

Personally I'm fine with it. Maybe my kids can now get into a Big Ten school with a high ACT score for a change. Go figure.

Well, Mr. Wauck, it's the Outlaw US Empire after all. What will the parasites do when their host no longer provides a safe haven?
Apparently there is more to Mr. Oreshnik than meets the eye.

Lavrov is not known for his bluster.
You are so right; how many times did the Foreign Minister need to demonstrate that to Margaret Brennan.

I assume they'll then be moving on from Treasuries.

It's a moot question at this point which of France or Germany collapses first.
But there has to be Vegas odds on both correct?
Saw several posters today splashed on an underpass: “On ne mourra pas pour Ukraine Macron.”
Well, from the way “Mrs.” Macron man handled her “husband” it won’t be France.
If she has anything to do with it.
