What a way to ring in the New Year, and I don’t mean that in a comical way. It was a total nightmare, where bombings and acts of terrorism are capping off the final weeks of Joe Biden’s America, which he’s left crime-ridden and poor. On New Year’s Day, Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, an Army veteran, rammed through people on Bourbon Street and then proceeded to open fire on other pedestrians who were still out celebrating. Fifteen people were killed, with at least another 30 wounded. Police gunned him down. The man had pledged allegiance to ISIS. 

In Las Vegas, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside of the Trump Hotel. The driver was killed, and several others were injured. Blessedly, it wasn’t a mass casualty event. The only person who died was the bomber, who rigged the vehicle with firework mortars and gasoline cans. It was an intentional event. And yet, our FBI doesn’t know what to think, do, or say. They said Nola wasn’t an act of terrorism. Read more, see Xs and videohere.

Analysis: H-1B Visa, Trump, And The MAGA Backlash

Days before President-elect Donald Trump's presidential inauguration on January 20, an open battle has erupted between two groups of Trump supporters - DOGE (the Department of Government Efficiency) versus MAGA (Make America Great Again) - over the misuse of the H-1B visa programme by Indians.

As of now, Trump seems to be supporting the DOGE team under tech titans Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in the row over the visa programme that brings skilled workers to the US. However, Tesla CEO Musk admitted that the H-1B visa system was "broken" and that it needed "major reform".

Trump chose to walk into the debate and reportedly said that he "always liked" H-1B visas and hired guest workers under the scheme - even though he has previously been critical of the programme. That has left his MAGA fan base in shock.
