[Defending The Republic] Dear Patriot, What a week!
Other than that hurricane, which is completely messing up the perfect record, America had a packed week of good news.
Dig in and stay safe!
1- WHAT a setting! WHAT a speech!
With the Acropolis as the backdrop, Secretary Rubio talks of what we inherited from the Greeks...the basis of our Western civilization. We are fighting now to hang on to this concept in America.
Watch Secretary Rubio delivery the speech; it is long but well worth your time.
It is rare, in our lifetime, to witness a truly great statesman.

US Halts Microsoft’s H-1B Status Amid Probe
QUOTE: Vice President JD Vance announced Thursday that the administration is suspending Microsoft’s access to the permanent labor certification program amid an ongoing investigation and called for scrutiny of nine universities over their use of foreign researchers.
Vance accused Microsoft of using foreign workers to replace American employees, saying the company laid off 6,000 U.S. workers last year while benefiting from 6,300 H-1B visas and nearly 3,000 green cards.
"In other words, if you do the math for every worker that Microsoft laid off, they replaced that worker with one and a half foreign indentured servants," Vance said.
Vance said the administration would suspend Microsoft’s participation in the permanent labor certification program, known as PERM, an employer-sponsored process used for many employment-based green cards.
"They’ll no longer be able to take those H-1Bs and apply for permanent resident status within the United States of America," he said.
Turning to universities, Vance said nine institutions merit investigation over their use of the J-1 exchange visitor visa program: Harvard University, Yale University, Stanford University, Brown University, the University of Pittsburgh, the University of California at Davis, the California Institute of Technology, Arizona State University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Vance said American graduate students and researchers earn about $20,000 more than workers brought in under J-1 visas. He also cited a 61% rate of J-1 use for federally funded grants at the nine universities, compared with a national average of 38%, without explaining how those figures were calculated.
Thursday’s announcement follows Vance’s July 8 disclosure in Milwaukee that the Labor Department had issued dozens of subpoenas as part of an investigation into alleged H-1B visa abuses.
3- Yes, we know of many people who have already received this unexpected $90.00 on Thursday.
AND the $500 from over-paying into horrible ObamaCare. All of the checks came with a nice letter from President Trump.
