CONGRESS ATTEMPTS COMPROMISE ON IMMIGRATION

CONGRESS IS LOOKING TO PASS LEGISLATION ON IMMIGRATION BEFORE THEIR LAME DUCK SESSION EXPIRES THIS MONTH.
THE PROPOSAL HAS BEEN BROUGHT FORTH BY BOTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS IN A BIPARTISAN ATTEMPT TO GET WHAT BOTH PARTIES WANT.

THE BILL GIVES CITIZENSHIP TO TWO MILLION “DREAMERS”. IT WOULD ALSO GIVE 25 BILLION DOLLARS TO BORDER SECURITY.
AND EXTEND TITLE 42.

THE ORDER WILL END DECEMBER 21ST, ENDING MASS EXPULSIONS AT THE BORDER UNLESS CONGRESS INTERVENES.

NEW PROTECTIONS FOR HAITIAN MIGRANTS IN US

IMMIGRANTS IN THE U.S. WHO SEEK ASYLUM FROM HAITI HAVE BEEN GRANTED NEW PROTECTIONS FROM THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.

THE NEW ORDER ALLOWS ABOUT 110 THOUSAND HAITIANS TO STAY IN THE U.S. FOR AT LEAST 18 MONTHS,
AS THE GOVERNMENT IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY IS MET WITH VIOLENT GANGS ATTEMPTING A TAKE OVER.

THE GANGS HAVE CUT OFF ACCESS TO FOOD AND DRINKING WATER IN SOME AREAS, CREATING CATASTROPHIC FAMINE-LIKE CONDITIONS.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS ALREADY PREDICTING AN EVEN GREATER MIGRATION EVENT FROM HAITI WHEN MORE HAITIANS FIND A WAY TO FLEE.

AIRLINES WARN OF HIGHER FARES TO GO GREEN

THE “GOING GREEN” INITIATIVE HAS LARGELY FOCUSED ON TRANSITIONING OUR CARS FROM GAS TO ELECTRIC. BUT IT’S NOT THE ONLY SECTOR IN TRANSPORTATION SLOWLY MOVING TOWARD LOWER EMISSIONS.

AN ASSOCIATION COMPRISED OF ALL MAJOR AIRLINES SAYS IT’S GOAL IS TO REACH ZERO EMISSIONS BY 2050.

IN ORDER TO DO THAT, THEY SAY AIRLINE FARES FOR PASSENGERS WILL SEE AN INCREASE TO COVER THE COSTS.

ELON MUSK | NEURALINK COFOUNDER: “I think it’s important to show he likes doing the demo and isn’t strapped to a chair…our monkeys are pretty happy…as you can see, a quick decision maker on the fruit front.”

THERE ARE NEW REPORTS OF NEURALINK BEING UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION.

MUSK FACES ALLEGATIONS OF ANIMAL WELFARE VIOLATIONS, AFTER TESTING PRODUCTS AND CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON ANIMALS SUCH AS MONKEYS, PIGS, AND SHEEP.

ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, MUSK IS ACCUSED OF RUSHING RESEARCH, LEADING TO BOTCHED EXPERIMENTS IN THE ANIMALS.

BIDEN VISITS ARIZONA, PRAISES CHIP EXPANSION

AND LATER TODAY, PRESIDENT BIDEN WILL BE IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA.
THE TRIP IS IN SUPPORT OF SEMI-CONDUCTER CHIP PRODUCTION EXPANDING IN THE U.S.

CHIP MANUFACTURER “T-S-M-C” WILL ANNOUNCE TODAY AN INCREASE TO ITS CHIP INVESTMENT TO $40 BILLION.
IT WAS EXACTLY TWO MONTHS AGO WHEN IBM ALSO ANNOUNCED A $20 BILLION INVESTMENT IN CHIP MANUFACTURING IN NEW YORK.

THE MOVES WILL CREATE A LARGER DOMESTIC SUPPLY OF SEMI-CONDUCTER CHIPS, WHILE ALSO CREATING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS.
