Tennessee Valley Authority Drops H-1B Outsourcing Plan
“We were wrong in not fully understanding the impact on our employees, especially during the pandemic,” said Tennessee Valley Authority CEO Jeff Lyash in a statement Thursday.
According to a news release, Lyash, along with TVA’s interim board Chairman John Ryder, met with White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and White House Counsel Pat Cipollone. Lyash further expounded on the TVA’s decision, saying it “supports” President Trump’s efforts to continue the growth of American jobs.
“TVA fully understands and supports the Administration’s commitment to preserving and growing American jobs,” Lyash continued.
“Our mission is clear — delivering low-cost reliable power, economic development, and environmental stewardship,” Lyash said. “We are addressing this disappointing misstep and refocusing our commitment on serving our customers and this nation.”
Earlier this week, on Monday, President Trump fired TVA board chairman James Thompson and board member Richard Howarth after the TVA announced that it would outsource 20 percent of its jobs to foreign workers.
“Let this serve as a warning to any federally appointed board. If you betray American workers, then you will hear two simple words: ‘You’re fired,'” Trump said at the White House.
President Trump also signed an executive order earlier this week that required federal agencies to prioritize U.S. workers, targeting the TVA, specifically, who had originally planned to lay off several of its workers, which the order claimed could cause more than 200 U.S. workers to lose their jobs.
“Outsourcing hundreds of workers is especially detrimental in the middle of a pandemic, which has already cost millions of Americans their jobs,” a statement from the White House said. “President Trump’s actions will help combat employers’ misuse of H-1B visas, which were never intended to...

Convicted terrorist Susan Rosenberg raises funds for Black Lives Matter globally. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Thursday outlined the drivers and goals of the BLM movement.
Susan Rosenberg, a leading personality in BLM, was active in the far-left revolutionary terrorist May 19th Communist Organization (M19CO), which according to a FBI report “openly advocate[d] the overthrow of the U.S. Government through armed struggle and the use of violence”. M19CO provided support to the Black Liberation Army, including in armored truck robberies, and later engaged in bombings of government buildings.
After living as a fugitive for two years, Rosenberg was arrested in 1984 while in possession of a large cache of explosives and firearms. She had also been sought as an accomplice in the 1979 prison escape of Assata Shakur and in the 1981 Brink’s robbery that resulted in the deaths of two police and a guard, although she was never charged in either case. Officially she was granted political asylum in Cuba, but Assata Shakur also has links to the ANC in South Africa.
Rosenberg was sentenced to 58 years’ imprisonment on the weapons and explosives charges. She spent 16 years in prison but her sentence was commuted by President Bill Clinton on his final day in office.

Financial statements of Thousand Currents reveal that 83,3 percent of BLM Global Foundation’s total spending during its 2017, 2018 and 2019 fiscal years was spent on travel, consulting and payroll, while only about 6 percent went to local BLM chapters, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.

Today Rosenberg serves as Vice Chair of the Board of Directors of Thousand Currents, a non-profit foundation that sponsors the fundraising and does administrative work for the Black Lives Matter Global Network. She calls herself a former “political prisoner”.
Giuliani explained to Fox News that it is “a very, very strange society they want to set up” speaking of the Black Lives Matter movement. “Black people get salaries for the rest of their lives. Nobody else.”
The former New York Mayor added: “Two of the people instrumental with them were big shots in the Weather Underground. They’re convicted terrorists. One of them had 58 years in jail, and Bill Clinton let her out in [20]16. And she’s raising their money, Susan Rosenberg. When she was sentenced, she said ‘I only regret that I wasn’t able to kill the cops’.”

Stanford professor Doug McAdam remembers the the last meeting of the Weather Underground before it literally went underground where members were “sitting in a room” together and “the question that was debated was, ‘Was it or was it not the duty of every good revolutionary to kill all newborn white babies?'”
McAdam recalled that “one guy kind of tentatively and apologetically suggesting that...
