Feds Suspect Arizona State University (ASU) of Visa Fraud plus 8 other elite universities

Bad news! Is the Vice President on to something or are these just allegations?

"Vice President JD Vance on Thursday named Arizona State University among nine schools facing a federal investigation into suspected visa fraud involving foreign researchers.

J-1 visa holders account for about 61% of researchers on federally funded grants at ASU and the eight other schools, compared with a national average of 38%, Vance said.

The practice undercuts wages for American graduate students and researchers, he said. Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and MIT are among the other universities named.

ASU denied wrongdoing, saying it educates more STEM majors than any other university and follows U.S. laws and policies in its hiring."

Every day an email from RNC headquarters in the name of Vice President JD Vance lands in my inbox

It usually comes with a very cheesy subject line.

Today, I finally unsubscribed.

I suspect someone at the Republican National Committee headquarters is trying to sabotage the Vice President with such a ridiculous email campaign!

Here is today's example

First baby born to a sitting vice president in more than 150 years

Congratulations!

Probably, also the first Indian-American baby born to Vice President in 250 years! 😊

US Vice President JD Vance has delivered an ultimatum to all states: Fully comply with antifraud statutes or risk losing federal Medicaid funding

Good news! When American generosity and philanthropy is exploited and abused for too long!

Over the years, there have been plenty of news reports of rampant fraud regarding Medicaid! However, so far little has been done about it.

"The Trump administration launched a nationwide audit of state Medicaid watchdogs established and funded under federal law. It’s the latest campaign in the administration’s war on fraud, which the VP is quarterbacking. The White House antifraud task force has already targeted alleged misconduct in both Democrat and Republican states, including suspending payments to hospice services in California and durable medical-equipment suppliers in Florida."

British Volunteer Chris ‘Swampy’ Garrett Killed by Russian IED Explosion in Kharkiv Region while demining

How many foreign volunteers and foreign legionnaires are helping the Ukraine to defend against Russia? There is unfortunately scarce information about this! We may have to wait until after the war to learn more about it.

Some jobs are clearly more dangerous than others! Deminers are heroes! Just imagine how many children will likely be maimed or killed by unexploded ordinance long after the war is over?

"British volunteer and veteran Chris Garrett, 40, was killed on Tuesday when clearing a Russian minefield in eastern Ukraine’s Izyum city in the Kharkiv region. 

The explosion killed another member of his ordnance disposal team and left another in critical condition. ...

Garrett told The Sun that he and his team worked to detonate tons of unexploded artillery shells, mines, and IEDs, and trained over 2,000 Ukrainian military and police personnel. ...

Garrett had previously worked with Nate Vance, cousin of US Vice President JD Vance, and referred to Nate Vance as “a fantastic guy to work with and a proper team player… No make-up, no eyeliner, just a 100% real man, unlike his cousin” in an X update. ...

Chris Garrett is survived by his partner and infant daughter."

A Conspiracy theory: Did the US Vice President kill the Pope?

I don't think it happens very often that a U.S. Vice President visits the Pope in the Vatican. Maybe I am wrong.

J. D. Vance visited the first Jesuit and first Latin American Pope (age 88) on Easter Sunday! Within hours after the visit the Pope died! What kind of Easter egg did Vance present?

Or was it just rare and unfortunate timing/coincidence?

Caution: Satire!

Beware of the AI hype: I asked Google AI search following, but the answer was very poor/disappointing:

Why has the US' Greenland female military base commander been fired in conjunction with the Vice President's and his wife's visit?

An awful report by German state owned news media. Trump Derangement Syndrome? Piece of junk journalism!

Was this base commander also one of those DEI firsts?

How many female U.S. soldiers are stationed in Greenland? The report failed to mention. The commander is the first woman next to Vance.

JD Vance will join wife on Greenland trip. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz is also set to visit.

Usha was invited by the organiser of a dog sled race. Since when are Indian women interested in such events? No ethnic labelling or disparaging intended.

Is her husband jealous now that an attractive Eskimo could seduce his wife travelling by herself? 😊

Or are Vance and Waltz going there too cool off from their Signal app mistake?

I don't think that Greenland made so many headlines in the last 50 years or so like now! Many people probably did not even know were Greenland is located on the map.

US-Vizepräsident Vance fordert deutsche Parteien zur Zusammenarbeit mit AfD auf der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz

Sehr empfehlenswert! Bravo! Timing is sometimes everything!

Die sog. Brandmauer muss fallen wie die Berliner Mauer! Die Brandmauer war ein sehr raffinierter Versuch der Linken ihre Macht zu verfestigen und zu behalten!

Hinweis: Ich habe nicht den ganzen Artikel gelesen.

US-Vizepräsident Vance fordert deutsche Parteien zur Zusammenarbeit mit AfD auf "US-Vizepräsident J.D. Vance fordert Europas Politiker auf, den Wählerwillen zu respektieren. Während Deutschland weiter an seiner gescheiterten Migrations- und Wirtschaftspolitik festhält, zeichnet sich in den USA eine pragmatische Wende ab, die den europäischen Eliten missfällt."

US Vizepräsident Vance warnt eindringlich die Europäischen Eliten for Selbstgefälligkeit und Demontage der Demokratie auf der Sicherheitskonferenz in München

Empfehlenswert! Bravo!

Hinweis: Ich kenne nicht den genauen Wortlaut seiner Rede.

"JD Vance stellte auf der Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz radikal klar: „Fürchtet euch nicht vor euren eigenen Bürgern!“ Er betonte, dass die wahre Gefahr nicht von außen – sei es Russland oder China – ausgehe, sondern von einem inneren Zerfall der abendländischen Werte, die unsere Zivilisation zusammenhalten sollen.

Der Vizepräsident der USA kritisierte scharf, dass die europäischen Eliten zunehmend ihre demokratischen Prinzipien verraten. Er verwies auf exemplarische Fälle wie die Annulierung von Wahlen in Rumänien und staatliche Eingriffe in die Meinungsfreiheit in Großbritannien und Schweden, um zu zeigen, dass sich Europa immer weiter von den Werten entfernt, die einst den Sieg des Westens im Kalten Krieg ermöglichten. ...

Vance machte deutlich, dass die Gefahr aus dem Inneren komme und forderte die politischen Entscheidungsträger auf, den Mut aufzubringen, den wahren Wählerwillen anzuerkennen. Die Stimmen der Bürger – ihre Sorgen, Ängste und Hoffnungen – seien der Grundpfeiler jeder funktionierenden Demokratie, und deren Unterdrückung führe unweigerlich zum Zusammenbruch. ..."

AI safety versus responsible AI by Andrew Ng. An exercise in futile semantics or virtue signalling!

Vice President J.D. Vance is right to dismiss safety for opportunity at the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris! Keep Big Government out as much as possible!

An excessive recourse to the precautionary principle is the enemy of opportunity and progress! Andrew Ng even admits it in his opinion. Further, he obviously contradicts himself when he lists unsafe medical diagnoses under harmful application.

Andrew Ng even gets much more messier when in the same The Batch weekly newsletter he defends the use of AI for warfare: "AI is transforming military strategy, and refusing to engage with it doesn’t make the risks go away.".

Exactly, the enemies of open societies (rogue states like Russia, Iran, North Korea, China) do not hesitate to exploit AI for war purposes and to gain an advantage.

E.g. what are harmful applications and who determines harmfulness? Most of us probably can reasonably agree that deep fake porn without consent is harmful or even criminal, but what about everything else?

To quote Benjamin Franklin: "'They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Remember, we might be still driving in horse powered carriages and never got to fly the skies had such overblown concerns bothered our ancestors!

"At the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris this week, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said, “I’m not here to talk about AI safety. ... I’m here to talk about AI opportunity.” I’m thrilled to see the U.S. government focus on opportunities in AI. Further, while it is important to use AI responsibly and try to stamp out harmful applications, I feel “AI safety” is not the right terminology for addressing this important problem. Language shapes thought, so using the right words is important. I’d rather talk about “responsible AI” than “AI safety.” Let me explain.

First, there are clearly harmful applications of AI, such as non-consensual deepfake porn ... the use of AI in misinformation, potentially unsafe medical diagnoses, addictive applications, and so on. We definitely want to stamp these out! There are many ways to apply AI in harmful or irresponsible ways, and we should discourage and prevent such uses. ...

I believe the 2023 Bletchley AI Safety Summit slowed down European AI development — without making anyone safer — by wasting time considering science-fiction AI fears rather than focusing on opportunities. Last month, at Davos, business and policy leaders also had strong concerns about whether Europe can dig itself out of the current regulatory morass and focus on building with AI. ..."
