Maryland Court Denies Islamic Divorce: "I Divorce You" Can't Circumvent State Law
This is a welcome development. Islam's women-hating customs are not accepted as legally binding in the state of Maryland, at least.

Mama Obamanomics
Barack Obama spent the mid-1980s trying to politically mobilize the black poor in Chicago, giving him, presumably, lots of first-hand insight into their problems.

It's not unusual to see job ads that specify that the applicant must be an H-1B visa holder (this has been covered many times in this newsletter). Not much ever happens to companies for being so blatant, although a few of them have been warned by the DOJ to stop using discriminatory language.
Now a company finally got more than a warning--this time they got a light slap on the wrist! A large bodyshop called iGate Mastech was fined $45,000 dollars for discrimination against U.S. citizens.
Heritage Foundation In The Tank On H-1B--Because They've Decided To "Ignore The Realities Of The Marketplace"
Dr. Norm Matloff emailed this--while Heritage's Robert Rector did some good work on the amnesty front, Heritage's free market organization tends to make them think that's what's good for business is good for America.
