FBI’s reason for agents embedded in crowd on Jan 6 is garbage.  There’s no evidence that any FBI agents helped with crowd control or protecting the Capitol.

We learned this week that 274 FBI Agents were at the Capitol on Jan 6.  Chris Wray would not answer questions regarding whether there were FBI agents there because he apparently didn’t want to share what they were doing there.

The truth has finally come out.

FOX News provided a response from the FBI to this news this week:

The FBI responded on Saturday to a report that 274 plainclothes agents were at the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, clarifying the role of bureau personnel while still blasting former Director Christopher Wray.

While the agents were on hand, they were sent in after the riot had begun to try to control the unruly crowd, officials told Fox News Digital. That is not the proper role of FBI agents, and Wray was not forthcoming about what happened when he testified numerous times on Capitol Hill, Director Kash Patel said.

“Agents were sent into a crowd control mission after the riot was declared by Metro Police – something that goes against FBI standards,” Patel told Fox News Digital. “This was the failure of a corrupt leadership that lied to Congress and to the American people about what really happened.”

He added, “Thanks to agents coming forward, we are now uncovering the truth. We are fully committed to transparency, and justice and accountability continues with this FBI.”

Here is what Kash Patel shared about the recent Jan 6 report of 274 agents being at the Capitol that day.

274 FBI agents were thrown into crowd control on Jan 6 against FBI standards.

That failure was on corrupt leadership.

Thanks to agents stepping up, the truth is coming out.

This is 1000% bullsh*t. No one has had more time in the Capitol CCTV viewing room than me and my partner, @HanneBlaze64. We’ve never seen a single frame of video showing plainclothes FBI assisting uniformed LEOs in either “crowd control” or protecting the Capitol.

Four Americans died that day and Christopher Wray and his gangsters in the FBI won’t tell us what they were doing at the Capitol that day.  Four murders and no explanations.

Christopher Wray’s FBI lies again.  We know none of the 274 FBI Agents at the Capitol on Jan 6 helped in crowd control and none protected the Capitol.  So what were they doing?

Democrats are threatening to shut down the government this week unless Republicans spend billions in taxpayer money to pay for healthcare for illegal immigrants.

Democrats think this is a winner.

And you wonder why the left’s approval ratings are in the cellar!

Vice President J.D. Vance spelled this out on FOX News Sunday.

Martha MacCallum:  Last question, Vice President. This government shutdown issue looming next week, how do you see this? And are you opposed to a shutdown, or do you think there would be advantages to that potentially?

Vice President J.D. Vance: Well, look, we don’t want to shut down the government, Martha, but it’s really up to the Democrats.

Under our system, you need 60 Senate Democrats to vote for the clean, continuing resolution that the President and House Republicans have put forward.

I think it’s preposterous, Martha. I think the American people really should pay attention to the fact that Democrats are threatening to shut down the entire government because they want to give hundreds of billions of dollars of health care benefits to illegal aliens. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve never seen a political party actually advertising the fact that they want to shut down every essential function of government, and they want to use that as leverage so that they get more money for illegal alien health care benefits.

It’s such a stark contrast between Republicans who are trying to put the interests of the American people first, and Democrats who I think would want to take money from the American people to give benefits to illegal aliens.

We don’t want to shut down the government. But if Democrats refuse to just pass this clean, continuing resolution, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. I think the Democrats are going to bear the responsibility for it.

Martha MacCallum: All right, we’ll see what happens. Vice President Vance, thank you very much. Good to have you with us on Fox.

Via Rapid Response 47.

The contrast could not be more clear: Republicans are trying to keep the government open and put the interest of Americans first.

Meanwhile, Democrats want to take from the American people in order to give taxpayer-funded healthcare to illegal immigrants. pic.twitter.com/cGlqrF1Cip

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is taking a sledgehammer to one of the most overlooked, yet dangerous scandals in our nation’s transportation system: states issuing commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) to illegal aliens.

This comes just one month after a major trucking accident involving an illegal alien driver. And now, the Department of Transportation’s nationwide audit has exposed a systemic breakdown that is putting every American family at risk on our highways.

Duffy revealed on Friday that the DOT’s audit uncovered widespread abuse and incompetence by state agencies responsible for issuing CDLs. The details are beyond infuriating:

• States are failing to validate legal presence. Licenses are being issued to individuals without confirming their lawful immigration status.
• CDLs are being extended far beyond lawful presence. In some cases, licenses are valid months — even years — after a driver’s work permit has expired.
• Computer flaws and procedural errors have compounded the crisis, allowing unqualified, nondomiciled drivers to hit American roads.

Duffy didn’t hold back in his Friday announcement:

DUFFY: “We have launched a nationwide audit of nondomiciled CDLS to get the bottom of what we think in causing this crisis. Something was seriously wrong.

It was alleged that the open borders policies of the last administration has led to an exploitation of our nation’s trucking licensing system.

So I’m here to tell you that after an audit; these reports are all true!

What our audit has discovered should anger every single American.

Our audit revealed a systemic breakdown among states to follow the law and issue licenses properly. States are failing to follow even the most basic procedures.

We even uncovered widespread procedural errors, computer programming flaws, and a gross lack of oversight in the states that issue CDLs.

This means that thousands of licenses that should never have been issued actually were issued. States are issuing licenses that extend months and even years beyond a driver’s lawful presence in the US!

This is a direct incentive to stay in our country illegally beyond their authorized work permit. In some disturbing cases, they have failed to validate a driver’s lawful presence before handing them a commercial license.

It’s deeply disturbing, but even worse, our second finding was that the current federal regulations are allowing dangerous, unqualified drivers on American roadways. This means that even when the rules are being followed, dangerous individuals who shouldn’t be near a big rig, are getting behind the wheel and causing crashes on our roadways.”

In a blistering post on X, Duffy singled out California Governor Gavin Newsom’s administration:

"California is the worst offender when it comes to trucking licenses, according to @FMCSA’s ongoing audit: more than 25% of non-domiciled CDLs were issued ILLEGALLY! My message to @CAgovernor: You’re putting the safety of your citizens at risk. Fix it NOW. Here are the receipts."

Instead of addressing the illegal licensing scandal, Newsom’s office tried to deflect, boasting that California’s CDL holders have a “fatal crash rate nearly 40% lower than the national average.” They even took a swipe at Texas, claiming its CDL drivers have a higher crash rate.

But that’s not what Duffy was talking about. He was pointing out blatant lawbreaking and regulatory noncompliance, not crash stats.

Newsom's office wrote:

"It appears the Secretary of Transportation is having a challenging time understanding the road rules. Unlike him, we’ll stick to the facts: California commercial driver’s license holders have a fatal crash rate nearly 40% LOWER than the national average.

And when you look at Texas — the only state with more commercial holders — the lone star state has a rate almost 50% HIGHER than California. Facts don’t lie. But the Trump Admin does."

Newsom is talking apples while Duffy is exposing the rotten oranges. He's droning on about overall CDL crash rates by state, while Duffy is laser-focused on compliance with federal regulations for non-domiciled CDLs.

Duffy clapped back hard:

"What a disgusting response. No word from @CAgovernor, but his staff minions run to X to deflect from their state's gross incompetence. You want a fact, Governor? Here’s one: California issued 25% of the state’s non-domiciled CDLs ILLEGALLY! Fix this problem or lose funding, it’s that simple."

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), a review of California’s CDL records found that one in four non-domiciled licenses were not compliant with federal regulations in 49 CFR parts 383 and 384.

What a disgusting response.

No word from @CAgovernor, but his staff minions run to X to deflect from their state's gross incompetence.

You want a fact, Governor?

Here’s one: California issued 25% of the state’s non-domiciled CDLs ILLEGALLY!

Under Part 383, the federal rules define how commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) and commercial learner’s permits (CLPs) must be issued, tested, and maintained. It covers required knowledge and skills testing, categories and endorsements, disqualifications for offenses, and standards that ensure only qualified drivers operate large vehicles.

Meanwhile, Part 384 holds states accountable: it sets minimum program standards, outlines procedures for assessing state compliance, and defines consequences if a state fails to meet federal requirements.

Duffy's audit is just the beginning. Expect more heads to roll as the DoT cracks down on this insanity. Americans deserve safe roads, not a highway to chaos courtesy of blue-state bureaucrats.

President Trump recently cracked down on the H1B visa program, requiring companies to pay $100,000 to sponsor a worker.

The program was originally intended to bring in temporary employees with highly specialized skills that few Americans possessed. H

owever, as the White House proclamation states, the H-1B program “has been deliberately exploited to replace, rather than supplement, American workers.”

In practice, it now serves to import general IT and tech workers, displacing Americans and driving down wages.

Investigations have uncovered widespread fraud: fake applicants, forged documents, and shell companies that sponsor visas and then place workers into U.S. firms on contract.

Over the past 30 years, a pattern has emerged in which hiring an Indian HR manager often leads to a steady increase in Indian workers until Americans become a minority in certain departments or entire companies.

Wages are suppressed, discouraging Americans from entering these fields and reinforcing the false claim that there are jobs Americans “won’t” or “can’t” do.

In reality, Americans will take any job if the pay is fair, and proper wages motivate them to pursue training. The proof lies in recent layoffs: in 2022, the top 30 companies brought in 34,000 new H-1B workers even as they cut at least 85,000 staff.

The new Trump policy will reduce the number of new H1B visas issued but does nothing about the roughly 600,000 holders already in the country. The dishonesty and scope of the problem are far greater than most people realize.

Salvatore Militello, who has spent decades in the IT sector as both a technician and later a recruiter, told me in an interview how the H1B program has harmed the industry.

“I started working with Microsoft in around the year 2000. And then I became independent. From 2000 to about 2015 or 2016, there was this trend of bringing people from India over to Microsoft. I would occasionally work on campus, managing these difficult projects for Microsoft. They were called rescue projects.”

He recalled companies claiming they couldn’t find qualified Americans, but he didn’t believe it. “I’m thinking, yes, you can find people.” The reality, he said, was that companies simply didn’t want to pay American wages.

Militello noted that salaries offered to Indian workers were 30 to 40 percent below the market average, which in turn pushed wages across the board downward.

Across the industry, he saw a broader pattern of offshoring tied to H-1B visas.

“They had an offshore team, or they brought a mix of offshore and some of those onshore, which I used to call extended offshore, because that’s what they were with this H-1B business.”

COVID accelerated the trend. Once American employees were forced to work from home, companies found it easier to offshore jobs. Replacing remote U.S. staff with Indians working from India became seamless, and this also opened the door to bringing more Indian workers into the United States on H-1B visas to replace local employees.

According to Militello, the largest drivers of H-1B expansion have been Amazon, Microsoft, and LinkedIn. Amazon filed 10,969 Labor Condition Applications in fiscal year 2024, leading to 10,044 approvals in 2025.

The White House cited similar patterns, noting that one firm was approved for more than 5,000 H-1B visas in 2025 while laying off 15,000 workers, and another cut 2,400 staff in Oregon while securing nearly 1,700 approvals.

Amazon remained the top sponsor, rising from 9,257 approvals in 2024 to 10,044 in 2025, an increase of 787. Other major firms, including Microsoft, Apple, Meta, and JPMorgan Chase, also expanded their H-1B sponsorships.

LinkedIn has played a critical role in fueling this deluge. Evidence shows Indian recruiters use the platform aggressively to promote visa opportunities and connect workers with American companies.

Reports describe more than 14,000 call centers in India, each employing 500 to 1,000 workers with access to LinkedIn, Dice, ChatGPT, and VoIP, and each recruiter given quotas for collecting résumés. At the center of this system is the “bench sales” model.

LinkedIn job searches show hundreds of listings in India for “Sr. Bench Sales Recruiters,” whose role is to market H-1B workers who are between projects and place them in U.S. companies as quickly as possible.

American job seekers are now familiar with aggressive Indian recruiters who contact them with vague offers, demand résumés and personal details, and provide little real information.

These résumés are often harvested to “spice up” Indian candidates’ profiles or to fabricate a paper trail showing that domestic workers were considered and rejected, even though the jobs are reserved for pre-selected H-1B applicants.

This explains why so many Americans are contacted repeatedly about jobs they never hear back on. Fake recruiters use domestic résumés as evidence of unsuccessful screenings, creating the documentation needed for visa fraud.

The business model depends on scale and low costs. Bench recruiters in India may earn about $1,000 per month, while agencies profit from each consultant placed.

Many LinkedIn postings explicitly require knowledge of visa categories (H-1B, OPT, CPT, GC, USC) and emphasize working with visa-holding consultants.

After moving into recruiting, Militello was asked to review résumés from Indian applicants.

“What I found was that applicants would say they were H-1B, but they weren’t. They were here illegally. How do I know? Because I checked.”

When he explained that without a valid visa the company could not sponsor them, applicants often replied, “That’s okay. I have a friend with a corporation in the U.S. You pay the corporation, and they will pay me.”

This was one of many scams.

Shell companies, sometimes listing large numbers of employees on paper, existed only to loan workers out on consultancy contracts to U.S. firms. The shell company, not the worker, received the salary.

To keep costs attractive, the rate charged to the hiring company was below market value, and the shell company took a cut, leaving the worker with only a fraction of the standard pay.

Militello recalled that when the going rate was $100 an hour, Indian workers sometimes ended up with just $60.

In addition to his interactions with job seekers, Militello described the constant outreach from Indian scam recruiters. “We’ve got 20 candidates and their first name is Singh, Amit, Sumit—you get it. Twenty of them.

And then they say, ‘We have these people that need work, do you have any positions open for them?’ You can’t do that. If you have the work, I’m not going to participate.” He shared one such email, which read:

“Hello,
Greetings for the Day!!
This is Ganesh, from Sainar Solutions INC., working as a Bench Sales Recruiter.
We have excellent consultants in our Bench, who are actively looking for projects on C2C/C2H.
Please let me know if you have any suitable requirements. Kindly share me the requirements with…”

The recruiter’s email itself demonstrates multiple violations.

The H-1B program requires a specific job that cannot be filled by an American worker, yet the email shows they had candidates first and were seeking jobs second, exactly the opposite of the law. It also implies the workers were “on the bench,” waiting without pay for placement, another violation of federal rules.

Finally, offering to supply workers through a third-party arrangement raises employer-employee relationship issues, since the sponsoring company may not actually control the worker’s employment.

The H-1B visa scam grew under Obama and exploded under Biden. Now it is being squelched by Trump.

The additional steps the president needs to take are scrutinizing and canceling many of the 600,000 existing H-1B visas, and shutting down the consulting companies and Indian recruiters that enable the system.

Given his speed and thoroughness, the administration may already be working on that.
