'Expertise is for chumps': New 'golden ticket' Trump 'grift' exposed by fuming analyst

President Donald Trump has a new scheme going to channel more taxpayer money to tech bros, a political analyst has revealed. Public Notice's Lisa Needham argued Thursday that a new White House "Report to the President" represents nothing more than Trump's latest "grift." The report, authored by Michael Kratsios, the Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, claims, as described by Needham, that "scientific research is run like a Trump family business, artificial intelligence is all that matters, profit is everything, and expertise is for chumps."Neeham described Kratsios's report as laden with questionable "business-speak" and disparaging remarks directed at universities for causing “administrative burdens on researchers."Kratsios focuses heavily on reducing regulatory burdens on Big Tech, she wrote. The White House report also suggests making various research teams "compete" with each other for prizes, and designating individuals at agencies to issue "golden tickets" to “recommend unconventional proposals."The report further recommends cutting funding to universities, while allowing "hands-on experience and industry credentials" at tech companies to count as credits toward degrees."It’s painfully clear that what Katsios is trying to do here is turn the whole of government science research and funding into the sort of 'move fast and break things' paradigm that is the hallmark of big tech," wrote Needham. "Tech bros are already living high off the hog in this administration. They don’t need any more of our tax dollars. Hopefully this new golden age never comes to pass."

Netanyahu confronts Vance over his criticism of Israeli government

Netanyahu confronts Vance over his criticism of Israeli government

Vice President Vance and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a "direct" conversation about their differences in a one-on-one meeting in Washington on Tuesday evening, Israeli and U.S. officials said.Why it matters: Vance has been the most Netanyahu-skeptical voice in Trump's inner circle since the beginning of the war. As the war dragged on, he became increasingly critical of the Israeli prime minister. Vance took on a larger role in war policy and Iran negotiations as the conflict progressed. That culminated in the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding, which Vance took a lead role in defending. Netanyahu opposed the agreement but didn't come out against it publicly, hoping it would collapse on its own. It did several weeks later. Tensions between the two have been simmering behind the scenes. Netanyahu was unhappy about Vance's public criticism of him — the vice president accused the Israeli leader of stoking opposition to the MOU and of being insufficiently loyal to President Trump. Netanyahu was also privately critical of Vance's role in the war. Vance, meanwhile, believed Netanyahu was deploying his associates and allies in the pro-Netanyahu media in Israel and the U.S. to attack him and undermine him politically. The meeting at Blair House on Tuesday was a chance for the two men to try to clear the air. Inside the room: A senior Israeli official said Netanyahu spoke to Vance about his recent criticism of the Israeli government and Israel's standing among Republicans. "It was a frank and candid conversation," the Israeli official said.A U.S. official confirmed that characterization: "The conversation was direct." The vice president's office declined to comment but a second U.S. official said Vance and Netanyahu had a "cordial and productive conversation about Middle East issues that are important to both countries.""The Vice President and the Prime Minister agreed to continue pursuing opportunities for Israel and the United States to cooperate in areas of mutual interest and shared goals," that person said, adding that the meeting was not confrontational and that Vance and Netanyahu have a productive working relationship. Catch up quick: In March, Vance and Netanyahu had a tense phone call during which Vance pointed out that several of Netanyahu's predictions about the war had proved far too optimistic, particularly the prospect of a popular uprising toppling the regime.Since the April 8 ceasefire, Vance has become the administration's most outspoken defender of diplomacy with Iran, repeatedly arguing that Trump's objective should be to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon without becoming mired in an open-ended military campaign.In June, Vance issued a blunt public warning to members of the Israeli government who were attacking the deal with Iran. "If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world," Vance said.Then, in a July interview on Joe Rogan's podcast, Vance accused some members of the Israeli government of running an influence campaign to push the U.S. away from diplomacy and keep the war going. On the same podcast, Vance claimed Jeffrey Epstein had connections to "the highest levels of Israeli intelligence."

The New Old Middle East

In many ways, the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran and the war in Gaza that preceded it seem transformative. After decades of shadow warfare, Iran and Israel have now attacked each other's homelands directly. And Israel and the United States have joined forces in a genuinely novel way to wage war against Iran. The Islamic Republic has lost its supreme leader of 36 years and much of its defense infrastructure. The Gulf states, once largely able to stay out of harm's way, have seen their energy facilities, airports, and hotels go up in flames. Hezbollah has dragged Lebanon, which was just starting...

Reparations for slavery in 2027? Mamdani won't rule out the idea

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) is entertaining the possibility of cash reparations for slavery, calling the city “very complicit” in the institution that was outlawed in the state nearly 200 years ago.During a sit-down discussion with the Root released Tuesday, journalist Charles Blow questioned Mamdani, a democratic socialist, about the city’s reparations efforts, including the work of NYC CORE, the Commission on Racial Equity, which was established by local law in 2024 to study reparations in the city and develop a “truth, healing, and reconciliation process.”'This is also what it looks like to acknowledge what history truly was.'Blow asked Mamdani about a written statement about reparations the mayor submitted while running for mayor. The statement read in part, “New York City participated actively in the slave trade and furthered its legacy through racist institutions, policies, and laws. The city should reconcile and repair this legacy of slavery, stolen wealth, and discrimination.”Further noting that Mamdani had said he was proud to support the new reparations commission examining Wall Street’s complicity in the slave trade, Blow then asked, “If a commission studying reparations in this city recommended cash reparations for people impacted in New York City, would you support that recommendation?”"First, I want to say that I stand by what I submitted,” Mamdani responded. “Here in New York City, we were very complicit.”The mayor continued, “I can't give you an answer in advance of them, but I can tell you that this is critically important because this is also what it looks like to acknowledge what history truly was.”For reference, New York state fully emancipated all enslaved persons within its borders on July 4, 1827, making it the first state in the country to pass a law for the total abolition of slavery. NYC CORE is expected to release its final report on reparations in July 2027. The commission’s website states that its work will “offer New Yorkers ways to address the history of enslaved African labor in NYC and the killing of indigenous people, with the testimony of current and past harms suffered by communities due to racism.”RELATED: Immigrant business owners revolt against Mamdani's 'Soviet'-style grocery plan Linda Tigani, the chair and executive director of NYC CORE, told Fox News Digital in a statement, "We would like to thank the mayor for using his platform to acknowledge New York City's complicit history in chattel slavery. New York was home to the second-largest slaveholding population in America, after Charleston, South Carolina. The first commodities traded on Wall Street included the buying and selling of enslaved black people, and their brutal forced unpaid labor built one of the most powerful economic engines in the world.""We must repay the longstanding debt owed and truly tackle the racial wealth gap in New York City, which is directly correlated to the stain of slavery in New York City,” the statement continued.However, if New York City decides to move forward with a reparations program, the federal government could stand in its way. This year, the Department of Justice has attempted to block a Chicago suburb's local housing reparations program designed for black residents who suffered from housing discrimination between 1919 and 1969 — a first of its kind. The DOJ argues that the program violates the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause and the Fair Housing Act. Like Blaze News?
