[Free Beacon] A Democratic lawmaker who represents Silicon Valley tech workers is taking aim at the University of California over its decision to exploit a visa loophole that sends U.S. information technology jobs overseas.
The UC San Francisco medical center next month will begin replacing well-paid American IT workers with low-wage immigrants to cut costs, becoming the first public university to ship U.S. tech jobs offshore under the H-1B visa law, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The 97 IT workers, whose contracts with UCSF will be severed Feb. 28, have been ordered in the meantime to train their replacements, who are employees of the India-based IT outsourcing firm HCL Technologies.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D., Calif.), whose San Jose district includes much of Silicon Valley, said the move by UC undercuts its duty of preparing students who are working to join the tech industry.
"UC is training software engineers at the same time they’re outsourcing their own software engineers," Lofgren told the Times. "What message are they sending their own students?"
H-1B visas were initially created to allow American companies to hire highly specialized foreign workers in temporary positions. Outsourcing firms have since penetrated the program to replace U.S. workers with low-cost immigrants, despite federal law mandating that the visas can’t "adversely affect the wages and working conditions" of Americans.
I am very much anti H1B as constituted. There should be some requirements about not being able to replace a position with a cheaper import and something about training and employing here.
If there are literally NO in US alternatives then you can bring in an H1B.

[Daily Caller] FBI counter-terrorism officials warned in the summer of 2015 that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton doing official business on her home email system potentially compromised national security, according to new 300 pages of new evidence released late Sunday.
The warnings came even as Clinton -- by then heavily favored to win the Democratic presidential nomination -- casually dismissed any problems with the private email system in her New York mansion.
Dramatic behind-the-scenes alarms were triggered by the Clinton’s emails, a fact which is vividly depicted throughout the newly released documents.
Randall C. Coleman, assistant director of the Bureau’s counterintelligence division, approved a memo circulated throughout FBI headquarters that claiming "an activity constituting a federal crime or a threat to national security has or may have occurred," July 10, 2015, for example.
[Breitbart] A San Francisco woman arrived home Wednesday to find that a stranger had broken into her home to use her bathroom and take a shower.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, police said the resident, 33, found the 20-year-old woman in her home located on the 1400 block of Fulton Street when she arrived home that evening, around 6 p.m.
The residence is located in San Francisco’s North of the Panhandle neighborhood.
Police reportedly did not immediately release the suspect’s name. The Chronicle notes that they did not say if she tried to take anything other than soap and water.
The Bay Area has been riddled with soaring rents and a growing gentrification.
The recent fire in an illegally converted Oakland warehouse named the "Ghost Ship" drew national attention to this growing issue. The unaffordable rents have pushed many -- mostly from Northern California’s artistic communities -- to take up non-traditional living arrangements in off-the-grid places like the Oakland warehouse that offers less expensive accommodations.
[NYPOST] Charles Manson is on his death bed, according to a newly published report. I do hope it's very painful.
"He’s not good. His health is failing," TMZ quoted a source familiar with the infamous cult leader’s health crisis. I think most people are delighted that his death is lingering.
Last week, Manson, 82, was taken out of Corcoran State Prison in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,’s Central Valley and rushed to a hospital in Bakersfield about 60 miles away for emergency surgery to stop his intestines from bleeding, sources told The Post. "Hurry! Hurry! We gotta get him there before he bleeds out!"
"Why?"
Which comes first in such situations -- cellulitis or sepsis?
But doctors decided not to perform the procedure because they believed that Manson was "too weak" and could potentially die while under the knife, TMZ reported. "I ain't touchin' him. Take him back where you got him."
Manson was then shuttled back to the prison, where he’s currently being held, sources said. "Hey! Who're you guys?"
"I'm Heydrich. That's my boss, Himmler. Hitler's down the hall a ways. You'll meet him soon."
The Post on Wednesday exclusively reported that Manson was first taken to the hospital for treatment months ago, indicating that he has been battling illness for some time. "Pretty warm in here, ain't it?"
"Oh, this is the cool time of the eon. It'll soon heat up."
"Who're you?"
"Beelzebub."
"Nice horns!"

"What are the chances of him dying due to the procedure, doc?"
"Oh, about 0.01%."
"Sounds too risky to me."
"I agree. Send him back to his cell and have a box of pineapples by his bedside for when the time comes."

Give him the surgery, same protocols as his minions used: no anesthetic and a kitchen knife.

[DAILYCALLER] A radical left-wing activist who attends the University of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Berkeley is the prime suspect in a fatal stabbing, and all one of his friends cares about is that he’s labeled by his preferred pronoun in news articles covering the crime.
Pablo Gomez Jr., 24, is suspected of stabbing one woman to death in Berkeley on Friday and injuring another in a separate incident. He was nabbed Please don't kill me! by police in Burbank on Saturday afternoon.
Berkeleyside, an independent news outlet in the liberal enclave, published a detailed account of the story on Friday. But it corrected the piece after a friend of Gomez’s contacted the outlet to say that the suspected killer prefers to be called by the pronoun "they" instead of "he."

Democratic lawmakers plan to rehang a controversial painting on Capitol Hill that angered law enforcement groups with its depiction of police officers as pigs, after Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter personally took down the picture last week. It's not even good art. Anatomical proportions are all wrong. perspective is all wrong.
A Monday press release from the Congressional Black Caucus and Rep. Lacy Clay, D-Mo., whose office for months had sponsored the display of the student artwork, announced that Clay and CBC members will "rehang" the piece Tuesday morning in the Cannon Tunnel. It's the People's House, not 12.8 percent of the population's house.
"The rehanging of this painting for public view represents more than just protecting the rights of a student artist, it is a proud statement in defense of the 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which guarantees freedom of expression to every American," the statement said, noting it had been "removed without permission or proper authority" by Hunter. You have a right to free speech, but not a right to have your bad art hung next to good art.
Hunter, R-Calif., personally unscrewed and removed the painting last Friday, saying he was angered by its depiction of law enforcement officers. He then delivered the painting to Clay’s office. "Lacy can put it back up, I guess, if he wants to," Hunter told FoxNews.com at the time, "but I’m allowed to take it down."
The painting, hanging since June, was done by high school student David Pulphus, who had won Clay’s annual Congressional Art competition.
The acrylic painting depicts a police officer as a pig in uniform aiming a gun at African-American protesters. Above the scene, two birds -- one black, one white -- fight, and beside them, an African-American protester holding a scale of justice is crucified.
Law enforcement groups had strongly objected to the painting’s display on the Capitol complex grounds, with one group calling it "reprehensible, repugnant and repulsive."
After the piece was removed Friday, Ron Hernandez, president of the Association for Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs, said in a statement they were "very pleased."
He said: "At a time of our country facing rising crime and a shortage of those willing to work the streets as police officers and deputy sheriffs, we need to make it clear that depictions of law enforcement officers as pigs in our Nation's Capital is not acceptable."

Rather than concentrate on divisive police caricatures, perhaps the CBC could mobilize their efforts on doing something about the dozens of senseless murders and shootings that take place in Chicago each month.

Besoeker, that would mean they would actually have to do something instead of just whine about it.

No, it isn't, but I propose for different reasons than proportion and perspective. Looking at communist agi-prop, the perspective and proportions are skewed on purpose; you see china farmer strong! pictures and the clinched fist is larger than the head, and the perspective is off a bit to create a sense of disbelief.
What is wrong about it, although intended to be unflattering, is the use of a warthog instead of a pink fattened farm pig. Also, the background sketches of the protesters are rough-sketched and wild, which does not do much to the rational grievance of a downtrodden abused people.

The guy on the right is twelve feet tall, apparently an allegory for eddiction because he's wearing a square cap. He's not wearing a shirt. I'm not sure what's on his scales of justice. Looks like a pipe on the left and a ball of smoke on the right. I think the black bird is an allegory too. I'm surprised not to see a balloon having him say "Nevermore," but that poem was written by a white guy.

It would be a shame if something happened to that work of "art".
Seriously, crow attacking a dove is your message? What the hell Anubis? Depth of field is shit. Footless man at the beauty shop either behind a megaphone or in front of some sconce. Hi Story! What is in the scale, pipe and blow?
Real serious amateur hour is how tiny the handguns are depicted - even George Clooney knows that to get maximum visual effect one must have a ridiculously oversized handgun in chrome. Maybe even put a bayonet on it.
I get that people think others are stepping on their shoe laces on purpose, but putting your right boot on your left hand just looks stupid.
.....is it a triggering to hang black art
So, so infantile. Seriously, my jr. high art teacher would have kicked me out of her classroom for this artistic dredge. Its a shit watercolor copy of a Xerox copy of a poor magazine collage. But in acrylics. So wow. Shit, at least use oils, Bob Ross was man enough to do so.
Better yet, prove it in buon fresco. Gowddammit if you did a portrait of me in buon fresco and I ended up looking the love child of Strawberry Shortcake and Chunk I would still be impressed.
You know, I want to see the thickness of the acrylics put down. I've seen better graffiti. Just awful.
Crucified on the scales of justice is an old image.
It appears to me that one scale holds a ying and the other its matching yang, one each black and white with opposite dot within -- standard as far as that goes. I have never known what the different characteristics of the two are supposed to be, though I believe one is male and the other female; and I don't know if the artist put them in their correct colours -- given his/her obsession with the Christ figure's musculature, the colours may be reversed from tradition for polemic effect. They do like their subtle as well as bold symbolisms, those academically trained propagandists.

I'd give that some thought if all the other symbolisms racked up. If he had the dove going at the crow like Quetzalcoatl, and had not blended the white into the background wall like a steaming pile of bird poop.

I think 0bean as ambassador to China would send an interesting message. He can bow to them all he wants then and nobody would care.
State-run Chinese tabloid Global Times warned U.S. President-elect Donald Trump that China would take "take revenge" if he reneged on the one-China policy, only hours after Taiwan's president made a controversial stopover in Houston.
Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen met senior U.S. Republican lawmakers during her stopover in Houston on Sunday en route to Central America, where she will visit Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador. Tsai will stopover on Jan. 13 in San Francisco on her way back to Taiwan.
Beijing had asked Washington not to allow Tsai to enter the United States and that she not have any formal government meetings under the one China policy.
A photograph tweeted by Texas Governor Greg Abbott shows him meeting Tsai, with a small table between them adorned with the U.S., Texas and Taiwanese flags. Tsai's office said on Monday she also spoke by telephone with U.S. senator John McCain, head of the powerful Senate Committee on Armed Services. Tsai also met Texas Senator Ted Cruz.
"Sticking to (the one China) principle is not a capricious request by China upon U.S. presidents, but an obligation of U.S. presidents to maintain China-U.S. relations and respect the existing order of the Asia-Pacific," said the Global Times editorial on Sunday. The influential tabloid is published by the ruling Communist Party's official People's Daily.
Trump triggered protests from Beijing last month by accepting a congratulatory telephone call from Tsai and questioning Washington's commitment to China's position that Taiwan is part of one China.
"If Trump reneges on the one-China policy after taking office, the Chinese people will demand the government to take revenge. There is no room for bargaining," said the Global Times.
Cruz said some members of Congress had received a letter from the Chinese consulate asking them not to meet with Tsai during her stopovers.
"The People's Republic of China needs to understand that in America we make decisions about meeting with visitors for ourselves," Cruz said in a statement. "This is not about the PRC. This is about the U.S. relationship with Taiwan, an ally we are legally bound to defend."
Cruz said he and Tsai discussed upgrading bilateral relations and furthering economic cooperation between their countries, including increased access to Taiwanese markets that will benefit Texas ranchers, farmers and small businesses.
In a dinner speech Saturday to hundreds of overseas Taiwanese, Tsai said that the United States holds a "special place in the hearts of the people of Taiwan" and that the self-ruled island via bilateral exchanges has provided more than 320,000 jobs directly and indirectly to the American people, her office said on Monday.
Tsai said Taiwan looks to create more U.S. jobs through deeper investment, trade and procurement.
Tsai's office said that James Moriarty, chairman of the American Institute in Taiwan, which handles U.S.-Taiwan affairs in the absence of formal ties, told the Taiwanese president in Houston that the United States was continuing efforts to persuade China to resume dialogue with Taiwan.
China is deeply suspicious of Tsai, who it thinks wants to push for the formal independence of Taiwan, a self-governing island that Beijing regards as a renegade province, ineligible for state-to-state relations.
The Global Times, whose stance does not equate with government policy, also targeted Tsai in the editorial, saying that the mainland would likely impose further diplomatic, economic and military pressure on Taiwan, warning that "Tsai needs to face the consequences for every provocative step she takes".
"It should also impose military pressure on Taiwan and push it to the edge of being reunified by force, so as to effectively affect the approval rating of the Tsai administration."

[Free Beacon] Texas Republicans Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. Greg Abbott met with the president of Taiwan on Sunday during her trip through the United States, in defiance of warnings from Beijing.
The lawmakers spoke with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen about the "mutual opportunity to upgrade the stature" of U.S.-Taiwan relations during the meeting, which was not announced ahead of time, according to a statement released by Cruz on Sunday. The leaders discussed arms sales, diplomatic exchanges, and economic relations at the meeting.
Cruz said the Houston congressional delegation received a letter from the Chinese consulate shortly before the meeting asking members of Congress not to meet with the Taiwanese president and to uphold the "one China" policy, which recognizes Taiwan as a part of China. Beijing opposed Tsai’s planned swing through the United States on her way to Central America, saying in December that it would "send wrong signals to Taiwan independence forces."
"The People’s Republic of China needs to understand that in America we make decisions about meeting with visitors for ourselves," Cruz said on Sunday. "This is not about the PRC. This is about the U.S. relationship with Taiwan, an ally we are legally bound to defend. The Chinese do not give us veto power over those with whom they meet. We will continue to meet with anyone, including the Taiwanese, as we see fit."
[Reuters] Alibaba Executive Chairman Jack Ma met U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Monday and laid out the Chinese e-commerce company's new plan to bring a million small U.S. businesses onto its platform to sell to Chinese consumers over the next five year, an Alibaba spokesman said. Chinese Vulcan salute ?
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA.N) expects the initiative to create a million U.S. jobs as each company adds a position, company spokesman Bob Christie said in a phone call.
Trump and Ma emerged from their meeting at Trump Tower in New York together. The president-elect told reporters they had a "great meeting" and would do great things together. Ma called Trump "smart" and "open-minded." He said the two mainly discussed supporting small businesses, especially in the Midwest.
Ma said that businesses such as farmers and small clothing makers could tap the Chinese market directly through Alibaba.
He called the meeting with Trump "very productive."
[WSJ] Yahoo Inc.’s Chief Executive Marissa Mayer and co-founder David Filo will step down from the board after the sale of its core business is completed, and the company will change its name to Altaba Inc., according to a regulatory filing.

I don't know about the rest of it, because it's behind the WSJ paywall...

I needed an email address, and chose Yahoo--I so wish I hadn't. Its pages are BOGGED down with so many ads and flashy gizmos that even the stories I want to read (which aren't that many) take forever and a day to load. Its "news" pages are filled with BULLSHIT leftist political takes and "news" about fake celebrities that never did one damn thing constructive with their life (other than allegedly be a celebrity).
Its search engine is laughably bad. As much as conservatives hate being tied to anything like Google, Google seriously kicks yahoo's ass when it comes to search engine performance.
In short, if I were paid to design the single worst web company I could imagine, I think I would deposit the check and wait until the funds cleared, and then type up a one word submission: Yahoo.
Time to sue the politicians directly.
San Francisco cannot be held liable for a slaying by a man who was in the country illegally and had been released by sheriff's officials despite a request by immigration officials to keep him behind bars, a federal judge said.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Joseph Spero dismissed wrongful death claims filed by the family of 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle against the city and Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi. The judge, however, allowed a negligence claim against the federal government to move forward. Maybe Schumer can have the CIA do something about this.
Steinle's shooting death thrust San Francisco into the national debate over immigration Sounds like SF doesn't want to debate anything. Just declare their immunity and carry on.
The man charged with murder in the July 2015 slaying, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, was a repeat drug offender who was transferred to the city jail to face a marijuana sales charge after he completed a federal prison sentence for illegally reentering the country. The district attorney dropped charges, and the sheriff's department released Lopez-Sanchez three months before Steinle's death, ignoring a request by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to keep him behind bars.
San Francisco's so-called "sanctuary policy" bars city employees from cooperating with federal immigration officials in deportation efforts.
Mirkarimi cited the law in a 2015 memo to deputies that prohibited them from providing certain information to federal immigration authorities, including the date an inmate is released, according to Spero's ruling. In their lawsuit, Steinle's family cited a statement by immigration authorities that Lopez-Sanchez would have been deported and Steinle's death prevented if sheriff's officials had notified them about his pending release.
Spero said in his ruling on Friday that neither the state nor federal law cited in the lawsuit prevents the sheriff from restricting his deputies' communications with immigration officials about an inmate's release date.
Frank Pitre, an attorney for the Steinle family, said he was evaluating the best course forward. Wait ten days and talk to the next administration.
Spero allowed a claim in the lawsuit alleging that a U.S. Bureau of Land Management ranger negligently left the gun used in Steinle's slaying loaded inside a vehicle in San Francisco, and it was stolen. Then the gun got out of the vehicle, hopped down the street, jumped into Juan's hand, and fired itself at Kate.
Lopez-Sanchez says he found the gun and it fired when he picked it up, striking Steinle in the back. He has pleaded not guilty to a second-degree murder charge.

I'd say there's wide interpretation to the 'Attractive Nuisance' doctrine.
You have an official tourist office to attract the 'deer' and then combine with sanctuary city policies to attract those with no regard to the law. Sees a good fit to me. Then again I'm not a nuance judge.
[NYTimes] Many thousands of women are expected to converge on the nation's capital for the Women's March on Washington...Jennifer Willis no longer plans to be one of them.

The post, written by a black activist from Brooklyn who is a march volunteer, advised "white allies" to listen more and talk less. also some problems with the non violence vs civil disobedience advocates, etc.

[Breitbart] A Texas state lawmaker has pre-filed a bill that would criminalize dismemberment abortions. If the law passes, it would be a crime for an abortion doctor to surgically dismember and extract a living baby while in the womb. The criminal penalty would be a state jail felony.
Moreover, pursuant to the express provisions of Senate Bill 415, a state executive or administrative official may not decline to enforce the law, or "adopt a construction" of this law that "narrows its applicability, based on the official’s own beliefs concerning the requirements of the state or federal constitution." The bill is authored by state Senator Charles Perry (R-Lubbock).
Under the law, a woman on whom a dismemberment abortion is performed, or an employee or agent of the physician, would not be subject to criminal penalties.
A dismemberment abortion performed when "necessary in a medical emergency," would not be a crime.
This is only the beginning, folks.
The politically correct commissars at Wikipedia have succeeded in disappearing The People’s Cube, the best conservative satire site in America.
The site’s reference page at Wikipedia was deleted today. This is part of a disturbing trend in the world of social media. Non-leftist views are marginalized, and whenever possible, erased.
This kind of thing happens all the time at Wikipedia, an open-source online encyclopedia. Wikipedia may be fine on non-controversial subjects, like how King Henry VIII treated his wives or Charlemagne’s military campaigns in the Italian peninsula in the 8th century after the birth of Christ.
But digital despots guard pages that deal with political controversies and routinely censor views with which they don’t agree. That’s what happened here — and it’s a perfect illustration of why you should never ever ever donate any money to Wikipedia which has its hand out all the time.
What’s unique about The People’s Cube (website link) is that it is written as if it were a media organ of the late Soviet Communist state. Even its graphics are Stalinist — and I mean that in the best possible way.
People’s Cube founder Oleg Atbashian, an actual former propagandist from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, suspects it all started when a leftist complained to Wikipedia in the hope of having the reference page erased from history.
