Scott Jennings Has Some Thoughts About Vivek Ramaswamy's Tweet Calling Americans Lazy, Mediocre

Jeff Charles  
This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.

"Entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy made some waves on social media when he posted a scathing critique of American culture amid widespread debate over immigration and H1B visas.

His comments received mixed reactions from the right, with many criticizing him for generalizing and not being sensitive to the plight of many Americans who say they have lost opportunities because of immigration. CNN’s Scott Jennings slammed Ramaswamy, echoing these concerns.

The controversy began when Ramaswamy wrote a post on X on Thursday, arguing that tech companies tend to hire immigrants, especially through the H-1B visa program, instead of Americans because of “culture.”

The entrepreneur claimed, “American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer.” . .  .

The American people are not wholly to blame for these things for glorifying such things you criticize. It has been the things that Hollywood has glorified. For the values that which you want the young people to stand for first you have to make movies, and other things.

American politician Elise Marie Stefanik calls for deportation of 'pro-Hamas' Columbia students on federal visas

Americans willingly learn to shout "death to America and Israel!" They become louder and shake fists more angrily for their Iranian ventriloquists. TD

Stefanik calls for deportation of 'pro-Hamas' Columbia students on federal visas  . . ."Stefanik said she hoped the House Education & the Workforce Committee hearings featuring the other administrators would have served as a reminder to protect students of all faiths and condemn antisemitism.

"We have seen the exact opposite in the case of both Harvard and Penn. While their university presidents were forced out because of their morally bankrupt answers to my question in that historic hearing, we have not seen those schools step up to protect Jewish students," she said.

"Then, of course, we have the Columbia University hearing with President Shafik, where clearly their strategy was say whatever you have to to get through the hearing, to try to avoid the fate of the Penn and Harvard president, but yet their actions — they weren't taking any action on campus to protect Jewish students, to address the rise of antisemitism." . . .

"They are pro-Hamas members of a mob who are calling for the eradication of Israel. They are calling for genocide against Jews around the world and in America.

"It is unthinkable that we are allowing this to happen at U.S. universities.

"Columbia has surrendered to the radical pro-Hamas antisemitic mob instead of securing campus and protecting Columbia's jewish students.

"There can be no more extensions or delays. There can be no negotiation with self- proclaimed Hamas terrorists and their sympathizers.

American taxpayers don't want to support antisemitism. They oppose antisemitism, and we know that we're going to continue to stand up for what's morally right.

" 'Consequences are needed for those who are calling for terrorism and violent attacks.”

"Stefanik cited the Immigration and Nationality Act, which states that anyone who endorses terrorism can become ineligible for American residency, and noted that protesters are "brazenly endorsing Hamas and other terrorist organization."


Trump WH urged to prioritize deportation of foreign students with pro-terrorism views   

. . ."The Republican Party platform released in July was a sparse list that reflected Trump’s ideological priorities but included few concrete policy proposals. Trump’s pledge to tackle antisemitism was coupled with just one policy goal: “support revoking Visas of Foreign Nationals who support terrorism and jihadism.”

"Now, some of Trump’s backers argue that should be a day-one priority for the new administration. They are urging the president-elect to take on antisemitism in a way that incorporates counterterrorism measures, such as digging deeper into Iran’s influence on U.S. campus protests and looking into whether radical campus organizations receive illicit foreign financing. 

" 'I think we’d like to see people who are on student visas, who have publicly and specifically endorsed Hamas or Hezbollah or what is a designated terrorist organization by the United States, and they’re showing they are very vocal in their support for them, that those students would lose their student visas to the United States and therefore be removed,” said Luke Moon, executive director of the Philos Project, which works to promote Christian engagement in the Middle East. Vice President-elect J.D. Vance spoke at the Philos Project’s Oct. 7 memorial rally in Washington this year." . . .

Scott Jennings Drives CNN Panel to Fits As He Nukes Biden's Time in Office Into Next Week

Nick Arama

  Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Solomon Jones said, "I think Donald Trump needs to apologize that a million people died in COVID while I was telling people to shine light in their bodies and take disinfectant." Jennings wrecked that, "That's false." First, a million people didn't die from COVID under Trump; it hit a million under Biden, and more died under Biden.  

Jen Psaki forced to retract false book claim that Biden did not
 check his watch

"On Thursday, Scott Jennings just dropped some truth bombs about Joe Biden's failed time occupying the White House, driving the CNN panel into fits. 

"He started with Biden's shameful failure to have any regrets about some of the horrible things he's done. Jennings particularly excoriated him over the deaths Biden was responsible for during his debacle of a withdrawal from Afghanistan. 

"When he got asked about regrets, the fact that he didn't say, 'I regret that 13 American service members lost their lives in Afghanistan,' to me, that he can't muster the courage to say that now is a disgrace," Jennings declared. 

"Indeed. This was truly shameful: . . .

An end-of-year round-up on all the long-standing corporations that just couldn’t survive a Democrat economy

 Olivia Murray 

 . . ."So where did all that wealth go? I mean, it had to go somewhere right? Real wealth, which is generated by the private sector, the small business man, the farmer, the entrepreneur, it doesn’t just evaporate into thin air—it has to go somewhere." . . .

"As Bidenomics and progressive left policies wind to a close with Trump and DOGE on the horizon, it’s time to take inventory and see who’s still standing, and who just couldn’t survive this “strongest ever” Democrat economy:

"To be fair, financial woe for a number of these brands started long before Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: trouble for Sears was brewing in the 1980s when Walmart began to make headway in the same market; Sam Goody was a dinosaur, and filed for bankruptcy almost 20 years ago; and who’s going to shop at the Party City middle-man for cheap, from-China party goods when Amazon gets the product to the consumer faster and cheaper, and any number of “dollar stores” (dollar-fifty stores under Biden) have about the same selection for a much lower price?

"Yet, the point remains, when long-standing iconic brands finally go bust, it means the economy isn’t so hot.

"Now, what happens when you include all the small business owners who suffered the same fate? Recall what Missouri congressman Jason Smith had to say about the past four years:

The Biden-Harris Administration has spent billions for a manufacturing jobs boom, but really, it’s been a blue-collar bust. America, today, has fewer manufacturing jobs than it did a year ago. Small businesses are getting crushed by failed policies and had to cut over 43,000 jobs just in the last year. Make no mistake, the Biden-Harris Administration is no friend to small businesses or workers. . . .

Harmeet Dhillon, Trump’s Choice for DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, Battled Woke Policies in California

Her nomination could indeed be historic.
"If confirmed, California attorney Harmeet Dhillon could be the first Justice official to take on government DEI discrimination nationwide. So her nomination could indeed be historic."

"President-elect Donald Trump has nominated San Francisco attorney Harmeet Dhillon to lead the Civil Rights Division of the federal Department of Justice. As NBC News reports, the India-born Dhillon is “also on track to be the first Sikh American to hold the position.” There’s more about Harmeet Dhillon that people should know, and NBC gives the people cause to wonder.
"An India-born nominee would be more accurately described as an Indian American, in the style of African American, Mexican American, and so forth. “Sikh” refers to a religion, not a nationality and it’s hard to think of Department of Justice officials described as Catholic Americans, Buddhist Americans, or Hindu Americans.
"India-born Harmeet Dhillon is dark-skinned, yet she is not described as a “woman of color” or “person of color.” This description is often invoked for DEI hires, but skin shade has nothing to do with qualifications for a key Department of Justice post.
"Dartmouth College graduate Harmeet Dhillon earned her juris doctorate at the University of Virginia, where she was on the board of the Virginia Law Review. Dhillon clerked for Judge Paul V. Niemeyer of the U. S Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Constitutional Torts Section of the Civil Division (D.C.).  Dhillon is also a former member of the board of directors for the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California, but her critics are not impressed.
“ 'Dhillon has focused her career on diminishing civil rights, rather than enforcing or protecting them,” contends Maya Wiley, president of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. That invites a look at Dhillon’s record on civil rights. In 2020, when California Gov. Gavin Newsom shut down the state, Dhillon filed suit against his draconian stay-at-home rules.
" 'The governor has chosen to limit protests to zero in this state which is outrageous and absurd,” Dhillon told reporters. For small businesses there was “no appeal process, no selection criteria,” and “going to church to worship communally is a First Amendment-protected activity and while it does not sustain the level of protection as protests, petitions, the press, other forms of speech, it is protected under the constitution and we believe it is unconstitutional for the governor to impose restrictions on worship that are broader than necessary to achieve the government’s interests.”
"Those unfamiliar with Gov. Newsom’s lockdown should also see California’s rules for gatherings during the pandemic. “All gatherings must be held outside” and “mixing between groups gathering is not allowed.” Masks were mandatory and the six-foot distancing rule enforced “in all directions,” but there was more to it." . . .

How can Democrats not feel shame over what they have become?

Sister Toldjah


"As RedState readers know, there is a lot to dislike about the White House press corps.

The primary issues, of course, revolve around - among other things - their frequent water-carrying on behalf of Democrats, their Baghdad Bob-esque reporting in the aftermath of press briefings, and their bizarre but persistent focus on irrelevant things, like the milkshake flavors President Joe Biden and other Democrats prefer.

One bright ray of sunlight in the briefing room has been Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy, who has tied the Biden White House in knots for years, going toe to toe with a cast of characters including Biden himself, his former press secretary, Jen Psaki, and current press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, asking important questions that others in the room wouldn't dare.

Doocy, who Biden once infamously called a "stupid son of a b**ch" on a hot mic, has handled Jean-Pierre's patented evasiveness and deer-in-headlight moments like a boss, with one moment coming to mind how she tried to dunk him over the summer about not seeing him for a while, only to get the following response: . . .
