Since the Trump Administration took office for its second term, its focus has been on tightening the H1B program to prevent fraud and modifying it to protect American Jobs. Last week, there was chaos with Trump signing a proclamation adding a $100K fee for new H1B holders outside of US. Later, USCIS and CBP gave clarifications indicating it applies to new petitions after the effective date of the proclamation. Today, they published the proposed rule text for the H1B weighted selection process rule, which was cleared by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on August 8, 2025. This is…

Weapons made horror movie history in 2025. The movie is Zach Cregger’s twisted, horrific baby that has dominated the horror industry. From writer and director, to producer and co-score creator, Cregger molded this movie from concept to screen. So when the man says talks of the prequel are real, you better believe him! Cregger’s movie was such a success, it was the first film to open first place at the box office six consecutive times. With being the second highest grossing original horror movie this year, it’s no wonder Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema initiated talks of expansion. Director…

Drones that flew over Denmark, crippling a major airport, were part of an alarming wave of Russian incursions in Europe, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Tuesday — calling it “the most serious attack on Danish critical infrastructure to date.” Frederiksen slammed Monday night’s incident as a clear assault on her nation and part of the recent incursions over Poland, Romania and Estonia.  While Frederiksen stopped short of directly blaming Moscow, she called it part of a sinister goal to “disrupt and create unrest” during a tense period when Russian UAVs regularly trespass Europe’s airspace. Several large drones were spotted flying…

Scroll through social media long enough and you will encounter them: macaws swaying to pop songs, flapping their wings as though swept up in the joy of rhythm. These clips are delightful because they seem so human. We are used to seeing animals reacting to stimuli, like dogs fetching or cats pouncing. But parrots appear to do something more: they join in. They watch, they follow, and they seem to understand the dance as a shared act. Until recently, it was easy to dismiss these performances as mimicry, clever tricks honed by training or instinct. But new research from the…

Conservative CNN analyst Scott Jennings flagged disturbing messages from Keith Olbermann to the FBI — including one in which the liberal political commentator wrote, “You’re next, motherf–ker.” Jennings on Monday flagged the since-deleted posts from the former MSNBC and ESPN host to the bureau, claiming they amounted to a threat on his life. “You’re next motherf–ker,” read one of Olbermann’s hateful missives, according to a screenshot shared by Townhall columnist Dustin Grage. “But keep mugging to the camera,” Olbermann snarled in another deleted post, according to the grabs Jennings retweeted from Grage and tagged FBI Director Kash Patel in his response. Olbermann appeared…

WASHINTON — President Trump unloaded on world leaders attending the annual United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, questioning the purpose of the international organization and ripping it for hiding behind “empty words” while he tries to solve world conflicts. In an impassioned, nearly hourlong address, the commander in chief pointed to his record of closing America’s borders and attempting to usher in global peace — including in Israel, Ukraine, Armenia and Azerbaijan — and needled the UN for not giving him a call to iron out the deals. “It’s too bad that I had to do these things instead of…

The next time Angel Reese speaks to the media might be as a member of a different team. After previously saying she would be made available at a later date, the Chicago Sky said Monday that Reese, along with Courtney Vandersloot and Ariel Atkins, will no longer conduct exit interviews, according to Front Office Sports. The Sky’s miserable 10-34 season finished with a loss to the Liberty on Sept. 11, and Reese may try to force a trade if she doesn’t like how the team’s offseason goes. The Sky’s Angel Reese (r.) talks to the Liberty’s Jonquel Jones (l.) after…

Suffolk County prosecutors can use high-tech DNA evidence against accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann – who will face just one trial for the murders of seven sex workers, a Long Island judge said in a bombshell ruling Tuesday. The decision by Judge Tim Mazzei is a slam dunk for Suffolk County DA Ray Tierney, whose case against Heuermann hinges largely on DNA. “If I wasn’t confident in this case I would’ve never brought it to trial,” Tierney told reporters. Accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann appears in Judge Tim Mazzei’s courtroom with his attorney Michael Brown at…
