    Chronicles' Pedro Gonzalez on whether Bill Stepien fears a MAGA
    candidate will get to Donald Trump's right and force Trump to
    apologize for inflicting Jared and Ivanka Kushner on legacy American
    proles: <URL:https://chroniclesmagazine.org/recent-features/america-first-in-name-only/>
    | Kushner created the office in 2017 with the help of Reed Cordish,
    | whose wife is a longtime friend of Jared's wife, Ivanka Trump. In
    | April that year, Trump prepared a directive to review the H-1B visa
    | program, which is commonly used by corporations to replace American-
    | born workers with lower-paid immigrants. Through the OAI, Kushner
    | and Cordish used that corporate pressure as leverage to undermine
    | the president's efforts. Anonymous sources told the technology news
    | website Recode that "tech executives, including Apple CEO Tim Cook
    | and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, received an early warning about Trump's
    | coming directive on a call" with Kushner, who "convened them and
    | other executives as part of his tech-focused efforts with the White
    | House's new Office of American Innovation."

    Will Trump's Save America PAC endorse Chad Wolf for DHS.GOV based
    on his track record on the National Question?

    "True story. The national security council once flagged a speech I
    wrote for Trump because it favorably referenced Walt Disney--the
    commentary was it could be interpreted as a hidden anti-semitic
    reference." - Darren Beattie <URL:https://twitter.com/DarrenJBeattie/status/1517551896998948866>
