Biden Promised His Hyundai Georgia Car Plant Deal Would “Create More Than 8,000 New American Jobs”, Instead Hundreds of Illegals Busted by Trump Admin

The Hyundai electric car battery plant construction site in Ellabell, Georgia that was the scene of a massive immigration raid on Thursday by the Trump administration was created as part of a deal announced by Joe Biden during a trip to South Korea in 2022.

Biden promised the Hyundai plant would create “more than 8,000 new American jobs.” The ICE raid Thursday resulted in the arrest of hundreds of illegal aliens from South Korea among the 475 illegals arrested, according to Homeland Security.

Excerpt from a May 2022 AP report on Biden’s Hyundai deal announcement made in South Korea:

President Joe Biden tended to both business and security interests Sunday as he wraps up a three-day visit to South Korea, showcasing Hyundai’s pledge to invest at least $10 billion in electric vehicles and related technologies in the United States.

…Hyundai’s investment includes $5.5 billion for an electric vehicle and battery factory in Georgia.

Appearing with Biden, Hyundai CEO Euisun Chung said Sunday his company would spend another $5 billion on artificial intelligence for autonomous vehicles and other technologies.

“Electric vehicles are good for our climate goals, but they’re also good for jobs,” Biden said. “And they’re good for business.”

…Hyundai’s Georgia factory is expected to employ 8,100 workers and produce up to 300,000 vehicles annually, with plans for construction to begin early next year and production to start in 2025 near the unincorporated town of Ellabell.

RFK Jr. vs. “The Science”: The Untold Story of Corporate Capture

The “scientist” on the left pushed COVID shots for babies, pregnant women, and backed mandates. RFK Jr. vs. “The Science”

The man on the right is trying to Make America Healthy Again.

The CDC has a corruption problem, and it’s been this way for decades.

And it all traces back to one quiet change that took place in 1983.

This information comes from the work of medical researcher A Midwestern Doctor. For all the sources and details, read the full report below.

Unmasking CDC Corruption: RFK’s Battle to Reform Public Health

RFK Jr. wants to Make America Healthy Again.

But don’t think his confirmation as HHS Secretary flipped a switch. What some people fail to realize is that he wasn’t suddenly given the power to do what he wants.

For one thing, the bureaucrats under him didn’t suddenly embrace MAHA.

In fact, the opposite happened.

And no agency has fought harder against reform than the CDC.

Large US Companies Are Going Bankrupt At The Fastest Pace Since The Global Financial Crisis

Is the fact that large companies are filing for bankruptcy at the fastest pace in 15 years a good sign for the economy or a bad sign for the economy? I don’t even have to answer that question because all of you already know the answer. And as you will see below, other types of bankruptcies are soaring as well. We are a nation that is absolutely drowning in debt, and now bubbles are bursting all around us. I hope that you have positioned yourself for what is about to happen, because the months ahead are going to be rough.

According to Newsweek, 446 large companies filed for bankruptcy during the first seven months of this year.  That is the highest total that we have seen since 2010…

The U.S. saw a sharp increase in corporate bankruptcy filings in July, according to a recent report, reaching a post-COVID peak and placing 2025 on track to surpass last year’s total.

S&P Global Market Intelligence, the research and data arm of the credit-rating agency, found that filings by large public and private companies rose to 71 last month from 66 in June, marking the highest monthly tally since July 2020. So far in 2025, meanwhile, the total of 446 bankruptcy filings is the highest for this seven-month stretch since 2010.

In 2010, we were experiencing the tail end of the global financial crisis.

So there was a very good reason for why so many large companies were going bankrupt at that time.

What reason do we have for what we are witnessing right now?

Of course it isn’t just large companies that are going bankrupt in staggering numbers…

Personal and business bankruptcy filings rose 11.5 percent in the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2025, compared with the previous year.

According to statistics released by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, annual bankruptcy filings totaled 542,529 in the year ending June 2025, compared with 486,613 cases in the previous year.

Business filings rose 4.5 percent, from 22,060 to 23,043 in the year ending June 30, 2025. Non-business bankruptcy filings rose 11.8 percent to 519,486, compared with 464,553 in the previous year.

Wow.

I had no idea that the bankruptcy numbers were that bad.

HUGE HIRING SCAM EXPOSED!… Job Search Sites Caught Hiding High-Paying Jobs from Skilled American Workers in Order to Hire Foreigners! – But They Got Caught!

Internet sleuths have uncovered a likely illegal scheme where U.S. companies and job search sites are systematically hiding lucrative job openings from qualified, skilled American workers, all to funnel those jobs directly to foreign workers through H-1B and green card Permanent Labor Certification “PERM” loopholes.

The scheme is as dirty as it gets: corporations bury ads in obscure corners of the internet or tiny Sunday print listings, while deliberately keeping those same jobs off their main career sites where real Americans are actually looking.

Why? So they can claim to have “advertised” positions to U.S. citizens while quietly handing them to foreign applicants.

This was discovered by a grassroots group, and that’s why the group of investigators has launched Jobs.Now: Exposing hidden jobs for Americans, a new job board exposing these hidden skilled jobs and PERM jobs, and putting them back in the hands of American workers.

So what is a “Permanent Labor Certification (PERM)” worker?

According to the Department of Labor:

A permanent labor certification issued by the Department of Labor (DOL) allows an employer to hire a foreign worker to work permanently in the United States. In most instances, before the U.S. employer can submit an immigration petition to the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the employer must obtain a certified labor certification application from the DOL’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA). The DOL must certify to the USCIS that there are not sufficient U.S. workers able, willing, qualified, and available to accept the job opportunity in the area of intended employment and that employment of the foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.

According to their X account, “The mission of Jobs.Now is to get Americans access to quality jobs in their own country. We think American workers are the greatest workers in the world, and we exist to make sure they get the chance to be considered for every job first!” the group wrote.

Trump’s Intel Deal Sparks Outrage Over Socialist Control and Corporate Blend

President Donald Trump announced on Friday evening, August 22, 2025, that the federal government has acquired a 10% stake in Intel, a decision he framed as a win for America but one that has left many conservatives, including Rand Paul and Thomas Massie, frustrated, viewing it as an unsettling move toward government involvement in private business.

Why it matters:
This acquisition, facilitated by Trump and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, marks a shift that troubles free-market advocates, who worry it blurs the line between government and corporate control, potentially setting a precedent for more federal overreach in the economy and disappointing those who prioritize individual enterprise.

Driving the news:
The deal, confirmed via Trump’s Truth Social post, involves the U.S. government purchasing 433.3 million Intel shares at $20.47 each, securing a 9.9% stake without voting rights, as part of a strategy to leverage CHIPS Act funds.

  • The CHIPS Act, enacted in 2022, is a $52.7 billion bipartisan initiative to boost U.S. semiconductor manufacturing and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains, providing grants and loans to companies like Intel.
  • Lutnick, on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street,” explained the equity stake, saying, “We should get an equity stake for our money,” converting Biden-era grants into ownership.
  • Trump credited negotiations with Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, presenting it as a boost for national security and economic strength, even though he called for his resignation a few weeks prior.

Catch up quick:
The announcement follows months of discussions to support Intel, which reported $19 billion in losses last year, using taxpayer funds to stabilize it amid global tech competition.

The intrigue:
The concern is whether this move will strengthen U.S. tech leadership or signal a troubling trend toward government influence in private companies, with figures like Rand Paul questioning if it aligns with America’s economic traditions.

Between the lines:
Behind the patriotic tone, the deal suggests a pragmatic use of CHIPS Act funds that some see as a step toward socialism, raising questions about the balance between government support and market freedom.

Now Comes the California Fire Sale: China-Based Company Is Buying Up Land Incinerated by Firestorms

If foreign corporations want to buy burned-out properties, can those sales be stopped? Should they be stopped? 

When the feared firestorm hit Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and Altadena in Southern California last January, the Los Angeles mayor was MIA, the “public safety” guy in charge—the vice mayor—was on home confinement for making an anti-Israel bomb threat on city hall, fire fighters were not pre-deployed, there was no water in the reservoir, and fire hydrants went dry in the Palisades. 

Soon came vows by L.A. Mayor Karen Bass and elected officials in Malibu, Altadena, and the Palisades to streamline the rebuilding and permitting, which turned out to be a joke. Now, amid bad leadership, virtue signaling masquerading as help, incinerated FireAid money, and promises in name only, comes the fire sale. 

In early August came word from an exclusive story in Realtor.com that foreign investors were buying up prime lots in the burned-out area of an iconic Malibu beach.

Now, a foreign investor has been secretly scooping up many of the burned lots on the oceanfront side of the PCH—with the vision of rebuilding the mansions that dotted the coastline in the iconic beach town.

‘Once this beach is built back and it’s all brand-new construction, I think it’s going to be a very desirable spot for a lot of wealthy people to try to buy a beach house,’ Weston Littlefield with the Weston James Group tells Realtor.com®.

The luxury real estate agent and his colleague Alex Howe have been working with the investor who has, so far, purchased nine lots worth more than $65 million—but the process isn’t random.

The strip of homes nestled between the Pacific Coast Highway and the Pacific Ocean is the storied La Costa Beach.

Nine of the most desirable lots have been sold by people who can’t wait or can’t afford to rebuild.

Dunkin’ Customer Warns to Check Receipt After Spotting ‘Wellness’ Fee

Some Dunkin’ customers are warning others to take a closer look at their receipts after what appears to be an unexpected charge showing up during checkout.

The discussion began when a shopper in New Jersey shared a photo online of their receipt from a Dunkin’ location, showing a 3% “employee benefits & retention charge” tacked onto their order total.

The line item read: “3% surcharge has been applied to your purchase. This charge is for employee and retention program and is not gratuity.”

The photo quickly made its way around Facebook, where longtime customers voiced frustration and confusion over what they believe is a hidden fee.

One Facebook user shared, “Now wait just one darn minute. Am I late??? I usually don’t get a receipt and the one day I do. I noticed that I am being made to pay a 3% surcharge for employee retention for Dunkin’ employees. I mean ask me or tell me so I can make a decision.”

CEO Boasts That He Laid Off 80 Percent of His Staff Because They Didn’t Love AI Enough, Threatens to Do It Again

When it comes to AI, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more groveling cheerleader than the humble CEO. As hype around the software grows, business execs have become astonishingly comfortable sharing their hopes that AI will soon make human labor a thing of the past.

Now, even as Wall Street begins to reckon with the empty promises of AI automation, one CEO is bragging about laying off almost all of his workforce in the face of the tech — a move he says he would make again.

Recent reporting by Fortune detailed the mind-boggling strategy deployed by Eric Vaughan, CEO of a$26 million software firm called IgniteTech, which involved culling 80 percent of its staff — not to automate their roles, strikingly, but because they didn’t share his enthusiasm for AI.

Mere months after the first ChatGPT model hit the world in early 2023 — a technology the CEO called “an existential threat” — Vaughan started making an AI push throughout the company. As employees became increasingly hostile to company initiatives like “AI Mondays” — a day dedicated to building the company’s AI system, regardless of a worker’s department —  he was soon replacing hundreds of employees.

“In those early days, we did get resistance, we got flat-out, ‘Yeah, I’m not going to do this’ resistance,” Vaughan told Fortune. “And so we said goodbye to those people.”

The most pushback, the CEO told the publication, wasn’t from staffers in roles like marketing or sales, but from tech workers who understood the limitations of the AI being crammed down their throats. It’s not hard to see why — analysts argue that when workers are reduced to shepherding AI systems around, they feel alienated from the meaning of their jobs.

That sense of alienation becomes even more pervasive when mass rounds of layoffs and replacements add to the stress workers feel in an already turbulent economy.

Worker pushback, which Vaughan likened to “mass resistance, even sabotage,” prevented the IgniteTech’s first AI scheme. After culling those who dared to use what little power they had as workers to alter the direction of the company, Vaughan had his way.

Soon, every division was reporting to IgniteTech’s newly hired “chief AI officer,” Thibault Bridel-Bertomeu, a sort of centralized bureaucracy with AI firmly at the core.

Though profits have reportedly increased since IgniteTech’s executives began their draconian campaign, they do so at the obvious expense of hundreds of experienced workers who now face one of the toughest job markets in recent memory.

Business Flees California due to Overregulation

California has been repelling capital through overregulation. The energy sector high-tailed out of the state in recent years under Governor Gavin Newsom’s net-zero policies. Now, even retailers feel forced to evacuate as California becomes increasingly anti-business.

Bed Bath & Beyond announced that it must close all retail stores within the state of California. “This decision isn’t about politics—it’s about reality,” company head Marcus Lemonis said in a social media post. “California has created one of the most overregulated, expensive, and risky environments for businesses in America. It’s a system that makes it harder to employ people, harder to keep doors open, and harder to deliver value to customers.”

Newsom’s office commented that Bed Bath & Beyond was already a dead business, failing to take any responsibility. To begin, California’s minimum wage continues to rise year after year at a pace unsustainable for businesses. Automation is replacing the human workforce, and some studies have shown that minimum wage workers in California are simply receiving fewer working hours as employers aim to cut costs.

Newsom believes he can continue spending and rescue the state from the debt through taxation. Fleeing businesses can’t pay taxes, and California forces both businesses and residents to pay some of the highest taxes in the nation. All corporations operating in the state must pay a flat corporate income tax rate of 8.84% on net income. Banks and financial institutions pay a bit more at 10.84%. There is an annual franchise tax of $800 for businesses as well. But wait—corporations are still beholden to the 21% federal corporate income tax, which means businesses are paying roughly 29.84% on corporate income taxes alone.

Payroll taxes in California are higher than the national average, largely due to social programs like State Disability Insurance (SDI) and the Employment Training Tax (ETT), which must be paid in addition to Unemployment Insurance (UI). There is a personal income tax withholding of up to 14.63% that employers must withhold from employees as well.

The state was forced to overturn its policy regarding shoplifting and burglary after criminals used the minimum $950 amount for petty theft to avoid felony charges. Countless businesses shuttered their brick-and-mortar locations as a direct result of light-on-crime policies.

Capital flees excessive regulation and it’s almost a no-brainer for corporations to move beyond state lines where operating costs are drastically lower.

Trump Administration REVOKES Business License of Employer Who Hired Illegal Alien Responsible for Killing 3 in Florida Truck Crash

The Trump Administration has dropped the hammer on a reckless California trucking company that knowingly hired an illegal alien truck driver who went on to cause a deadly crash in Florida last week that claimed the lives of three innocent Americans.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that an illegal alien, who obtained his truck driving license (CDL) in the Democrat-run sanctuary state of California, killed three Americans after he made an illegal U-turn on a Florida highway this week.

The driver, identified as Harjinder Singh, was arrested and charged with three counts of vehicular homicide after he made an insane U-turn directly in front of a car to his left on Florida’s Turnpike.

The illegal alien showed zero emotion after he exited the 18-wheeler and examined what was left of the vehicle, a pile of mangled metal and three dead bodies.

The truck involved in the fatal Florida Turnpike crash belonged to White Hawk Carriers, a shady outfit based in Ceres, California, with a horrifying track record, according to the Miami Herald:

  • 25 truck safety violations in just 24 inspections.
  • Two drivers busted in 2024 for driving on suspended licenses.
  • And now, an illegal alien driver who couldn’t even speak English—behind the wheel of a massive semi-truck.

According to the Miami Herald, as of Tuesday morning, White Hawk’s U.S. DOT entry shows their insurance canceled and status downgraded to “NOT AUTHORIZED to operate as a MOTOR PROPERTY COMMON CARRIER.” That means their interstate trucking operations are effectively shut down by the Trump Administration.
