Democrats, their policies and their bleaters are destroying our country

Word is Kyle Braun told the staff he's giving of bball and will be come a regular student.

Nearly 10,000 fast food workers have lost their jobs, according to CABIA. Democrat policies work for you!

LINK: California's fast food industry has taken a major hit since Gov. Gavin "Hair-Gel Nazi" Newsom hiked the state's minimum wage to $20 as thousands have been forced out of work and consumers are forced to pay inflated menu prices.

The California Business and Industrial Alliance (CABIA) President Tom Manzo detailed why businesses are "fed up" with California's policies during "Fox & Friends" while Americans struggle to afford the commodity that is now considered a "luxury item" by some consumers.

"The biggest issue California faces is continued increased cost and a continued anti-business climate," Manzo told Lawrence Jones on Monday. "That's why we decided to run this ad in the first place, and… business owners are fed up… Quite frankly, it's having a ripple effect now on everybody."

"People can't afford fast food when… it should not be a luxury item," he continued. "Fast food isn't a luxury item."

CABIA said nearly 10,000 jobs have been cut across fast food restaurants since Gavin "Hair-Gel Nazi"Newsom signed California Assembly Bill 1228 into law last year. To highlight what it says are the unintended consequences of the law, CABIA has taken out an ad in Thursday's statewide edition of USA Today with mock "obituaries" of popular fast food brands.

CABIA's ad highlights multiple restaurants that have had to raise prices and lay off workers to stay afloat and, in some cases, shut down stores. The ad features news clips documenting changes made by brands like El Pollo Loco, Subway and Burger King across the state.

"That's why we continue to advocate because legislators, the governor, they need to wake up," Manzo said. "You cannot be this anti-business."

"We're going to continue to fight," he continued. "We advocate for small to medium-sized businesses, people that don't have a voice. And… California is a great place to live. It's just we need to change the direction. We need to change the direct trajectory, and that's what we're going to do. That's our mission."

Gavin "Hair-Gel Nazi" Newsom's office took issue with the CABIA's claims about fast food job losses. A spokesperson for the governor cited the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, claiming that 4,500 jobs were added in limited service restaurants in California from September 2023 through April 1. The governor's office said 6,600 fast-food jobs were added in the Golden State from April 2023 through April 1.

Meanwhile, menu prices have also surged as a result of the wage hike. According to a survey by LendingTree, 78% view fast food as a luxury while 68% agree that prices for fast food items are too expensive.

Restaurant Business editor-in-chief Jonathan Maze pushed back against the notion the minimum wage increase helps workers during "Fox & Friends First," citing concerns about the timing and severity of the wage increase.

"It's a tough thing to do," Maze said. "You got two issues. You have the fact that it was done almost overnight. You have the fact that it was a 25% increase in the wage rate. Both of those things, happening simultaneously, is a really hard thing for restaurants, bottom line, and… you're seeing the effects of it."

Maze argued that, because prices have surged, Americans are dining out less often than before as it continues to impact the industry's "reputation" as an affordable option for everyday families.

"This has been a challenging environment," Maze said. "If you looked at what McDonald's had reported just a couple of weeks ago, their prices are up 40% since 2019. Their costs are up since 2019. You had, right after the pandemic… a dramatic increase in food costs. You had a dramatic increase in labor costs. Insurance costs are up. Lending rates are up. Everything costs a lot more. Construction costs are up, and that requires companies to increase prices."

"The result of all of this is that fast food has largely lost its reputation… as a value player," he continued. "The result of this is consumers are dining out less often. They're not going to… McDonald's or other places as often as they had been."

why you trumptards haven't mentioned those 272,000 jobs created in May in this poor economy headed for a recession. What is it that the jobs market doesn't understand that you idiots do?

Why? Is that supposed to be cool or something? Gonna have a damn heat stroke. Hoodie. Sweat pants. Toboggan. Humidity is up.

Probably has a biology experiment growing in there somewhere.

You having any luck getting info on a new Tacoma? The sales staff at my local dealer acts like I tracked dog crap into the showroom when I walk in. They just shrug and mumble.

Not sure why they are still in business. They have no cars, the showroom looks like it has been converted into a square dancing venue, and it’s rumored they are selling soft serve behind the sales desk. The service guy was the only one to be assertive when he told me I should have my transmission fluid changed at a cost of $350.

Anyone wanna take a stab on a potential depth chart on defense? Im sitting here re-watching the Virginia Tech game. I have absolutely no idea of who is returning. Let’s have fun with it, Go Herd!

I should add....this will be a 2025 kid.

I'll be damned.

Does anyone know if the games are being broadcasted?

Someone on X is saying he retired... is this true?

Who are they? This is the first season I can remember going into a season and not having a household name or two on the roster. Who is the face of the program? JJ Roberts? Cole by name legacy name recognition? Ethan Payne?

Who is taking the mantle from Ali and Porter?

Well, well...She admits to doing nothing but watch and blames herself. Maybe she's the insurrectionist of a non-insurrection that was a riot?

LINK: A previously-unreleased video taken on Jan. 6, 2021 shows then-Speaker Nancy Pukelosi, D-Calif., saying she takes "responsibility" for law enforcement's lack of preparedness when a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol that day.

A Tweet on X by a House Republican panel contains video that appears to show a frustrated Pukelosi being evacuated from the Capitol complex and in intense conversation with Chief of Staff Terri McCullough about how the evacuation was conducted.

"We have responsibility, Terri. We did not have any accountability for what was going on there. And we should have," Pukelosi says in the video, which was reviewed in its original form by Fox News Digital. "This is ridiculous. You’re going to ask me in the middle of the thing when they’ve already breached…that, should we call the Capitol Police? I mean the National Guard? Why weren’t the National Guard there to begin with?"

Her aide appeared to reply that Capitol security did believe they were prepared, to which Pelosi continued, "They clearly didn’t know, and I take responsibility for not having them just prepared for more."

Pukelosi then appears to take a shot at former President Trump's supporters, who ransacked part of the Capitol including her office.

"It’s stupid that we should be in a situation like this, because they thought they had what- they thought these people would act civilized? They thought these people would give a damn?" Pukelosi said. "What is it that is missing here in terms of anticipation? They give us a piece of paper that says walk through the tunnel, don’t walk outside. That’s your preparation?"

When reached for comment on the video, a spokesperson for Pukelosi told Fox News Digital, "Numerous independent fact-checkers have confirmed again and again that Speaker Pukelosi did not plan her own assassination on January 6th."

"As the footage in its entirety plainly shows, Speaker Pukelosi sprang into action in response to the attack on the Capitol — mobilizing the defense of the Capitol, urging the Administration to deploy the National Guard and coordinating the continuity of government. Cherry-picked, out-of-context clips do not change the fact that the Speaker of the House is not in charge of the security of the Capitol Complex — on January 6th or any other day of the week," the spokesperson said. "Three years later, House Republicans are still attempting to whitewash the deadly insurrection."

House Republicans, however, say the clip undercuts Pukelosi's assertions that Trump was to blame for the Jan. 6 riot.

"Pukelosi’s J6 Select Committee spent taxpayer’s money chasing false political narratives and using Hollywood producers for their ‘investigation.’ Her admission of responsibility directly contradicts their own narrative," tweeted Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., chair the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight.

No message needed.

Around here.

I can't even comprehend posts anymore unless I'm blown out of my mind.

My liver can't handle booze during the week, so what the hell is going on? Doc Fungus, tell these people about my blood work. They're gonna kill me. Had I been quadrupled double-vaxed x pi like greed, I'd already been dead.

Is this chick for real? She is who bleaters listen to and they actually believe this shit. 😂 😂 😂

Yep...He is going to imprison all of his political rivals in camps. That's what's going to happen. 🤣🤣🤣

LINK: MSNBC host Rachel Maddow is "worried" former President Trump could throw her in jail or even some sort of camp for high-profile liberals if he’s victorious in November.

Maddow, who has largely built her program around passionate criticism of Trump for years, famously pushed since-debunked theories tying the former president to Russia. Now she’s concerned Trump, the presumptive GOP nominee, will weaponize the government and throw his media critics in jail if he defeats Pedo-Joe in November.

"I'm worried about the country broadly if we put someone in power who is openly avowing that he plans to build camps to hold millions of people, and to ‘root out’ what he’s described in subhuman terms as his ‘enemy from within.’ Again, history is helpful here. He’s not joking when he says this stuff, and we’ve seen what happens when people take power proclaiming that kind of agenda," Maddow told CNN, adding that Trump would also go after his political rivals.

"For that matter, what convinces you that these massive camps he’s planning are only for migrants?," Maddow continued. "I’m worried about me — but only as much as I’m worried about all of us."

CNN’s reporter did not push back on this in the print Q&A and had set Maddow up to give an explosive answer by initially asking, "Trump and his allies are openly talking about weaponizing the government to seek revenge against critics in media … you're one of his most notable critics on television. Are you worried that you could be a target?"

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Maddow famously cut "The Rachel Maddow Show" to once a week in 2022 to pursue other projects despite her enormous salary, which has been reported to be roughly $30 million per year. Her interview with CNN was meant to promote one of the other projects, a podcast.

Earlier this year, Maddow criticized her own network for airing Trump's victory speech on Super Tuesday and claimed it was "irresponsible to broadcast." She was asked where she stands on whether news networks should broadcast Trump live.

"I don’t think there’s any simple hard-and-fast rule that makes these decisions easy. You take things case by case, situation by situation, lie by lie. I do think it’s important to constantly revisit these decisions in a rigorous way, guarding in particular against letting ourselves be used for any purpose other than our own journalistic mission," Maddow told CNN.

Maddow has also expressed concern that Trump would become a dictator if reelected.

One of my neighbors often walks down the road to talk when he sees me working in my front yard. Nice guy that will do about anything for you. Functionally illiterate, dropped out of high school, disabled, but continually offers to help me with my projects. I always respectfully decline.

I avoid ever discussing anything political because the guy is very opinionated and often gets quite animated in his discussions.

I always assumed he was a Trump supporter but never asked, so I was surprised when he praised Biden in a recent conversation.

While sitting outside here this morning enjoying the sunshine, I believe I have come to a conclusion on why my neighbor supports Joe.

In a prior post, I told of my neighbor’s financial problems. How he lost power, water, and trash service. He also lost his cable. He rigged up an antenna on his roof and was able to pull in one over air channel. PBS.

I buy guns and so do many others. If we did what he did, we would be in trouble. It is a clear violation of law. It is not even remotely close. The feds agreed to a jury within a couple of hours. The jury is full of drug users, one former secret servic agent whose brother is still working for the secret service. He is clearly an unlawful gun owner. It is an open and shut case, 100 percent.

It is not even close. Most lawyers would have already tried to cut a deal. Judges most every place do not show mercy on this.

If he is found not guilty or not convicted they need to open it up everywhere. He lied on a federal form submitted to the ATF. He makes lawful gun owners look bad. It is an easy peasy legal matter.

There is no viable excuse for what he did. Meanwhile his dad, Mush Brain, wants more gun control.

Are Americans ever going to wake up?
