    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jul 12 03:52:12 2025
    RealClear Politics' Susan Crabtree on whether Norm Braman likes
    Little Marco Rubio's chances at securing Donald Trump's endorsement
    for WhiteHouse.GOV: <URL:https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/06/28/thousands_of_state_department_workers_brace_for_layoffs__152975.html>
    | While the bureau manages the long-standing Fulbright Visiting
    | Scholar Program, first established in 1946, it also plays a role in
    | overseeing exchange visitor visas. In May, Rubio raised concerns
    | that Chinese exchange students pose a national security risk and
    | announced he would "aggressively" revoke visas for Chinese students,
    | including those with connections to the Chinese Communist Party or
    | studying certain fields, such as semiconductor engineering and
    | aerospace. The secretary also has revoked hundreds of foreign
    | students' visas as part of Trump's efforts to crack down on pro-
    | Palestinian protesters on university campuses.

    Has Trump ordered Susie Wiles to share with Peter Thiel's VP JD Vance
    or Braman's Little Marco, Trump's MAGA marketing research gathered by
    Wiles (and Bill Stepien before her (and Brad Parscale before him)) and
    do legacy American proles favor Big .EDU presidents and deans leasing
    American class room seats and laboratory stools to Xi Jinping's top
    two quintiles?

    "Biggest lesson in this mess: never willingly hand over all your
    rights and freedom to government Government is not your friend, it's
    not going to keep you safe and warm at night But if you meekly obey,
    it will allow half-wits to force a Depression and lock you in your
    house" - Buck Sexton <URL:https://twitter.com/BuckSexton/status/1262105511895470080>
