WELL, THEY’RE IDIOTS: UK Plans to Welcome ‘Palestinian’ Migrants. “British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood intends to admit thousands of “Palestinian” refugees. British Jews, and not only Jews, are worried that these new migrants will increase the level of antisemitism in the country.”

They’ll likely bring a lot more with them than antisemitism — ask the Lebanese or the Jordanians what happens to countries that admit large numbers of Palestinians.

GETTING SERIOUS: U.S. suspends Microsoft, Adobe from green card labor program in foreign worker crackdown.

The U.S. Department of Labor announced it would suspend Microsoft and Adobe from its Permanent Labor Certification program on Thursday, Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling said, as the Trump administration continues to take aim at immigration and foreign hiring programs ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Sonderling said the Labor Department won’t accept or process any new applications under the program for a host of companies, including Cognizant, Infosys, Capgemini, Tata, Wipro and HCL.

The secretary said Adobe and Microsoft were also suspended “due to multiple active federal investigations.”

“Since 2009, just these companies alone have requested almost 3 million foreign workers. They’ve received over 230,000 H-1B visas approvals and over 100,000 permanent labor certifications. That’s hundreds of thousands of jobs that were taken from American workers,” Sonderling said.

Stay tuned, because given what I’ve read about H-1B practices, this could just be the DOJ getting started.

So they forced delivery apps to pay drivers MORE.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Don’t Get Too Excited About the AWOL Dem Candidates. “Democrats can weather horrible campaign optics because — DRUMROLL PLEASE — their flying monkeys in the mainstream media run interference for them.

GOD SAVE THE JEWISH PEOPLE FROM RABBIS WHO CAN’T RECOGNIZE EVIL LITERALLY STARING THEM IN THE FACE:

FORTUNATELY, YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY UP FRONT: The American Dream Costs $5.3 Million — And It’s Getting Pricier.

The report from Investopedia analyzes eight major milestones — getting married, owning a home, buying new cars, raising two children and sending them to college, retirement, paying for healthcare, owning pets, and taking an annual vacation. The total costs associated with these milestones were $5,320,133 in 2026, a 4.1 percent increase from $5,111,632 in 2025, according to the same report, which reviewed data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Looking at each individual milestone, the cost of homeownership increased by 7.7 percent. Similarly, the cost of raising two children and sending them to college increased by 8.9 percent, and the cost of retirement also increased by 2.2 percent, according to the report.

Interesting that the cost of retirement is the one item that went up less than the rate of inflation.
