$400 per meal
Posted By: Imright, 11/14/2022 8:57:09 PM
Elon Musk broke the news to Twitter employees on Sunday that there will no longer be free staff lunches at the company’s San Francisco headquarters because they were allegedly costing a whopping $400 a meal since “almost no one” was in the office. He noted that the average occupancy in the office over the last year was below 10 percent according to badge-in records. It topped out at 25 percent. Musk took to Twitter on Sunday in response to The New York Times reporting that Twitter employees would have to start paying for their own lunches, just like everyone else does.

Oregon sheriffs are vowing not to enforce a strict gun control measure passed by the state’s voters last week.
At least five county sheriffs are openly refusing to not enforce at least parts of the law, according to Fox News. The officials say that the law oversteps Constitutional gun rights and will be an additional drain on law enforcement while failing to address problems with more serious crimes.
“The biggest thing is this does absolutely nothing to address the problem,” Sheriff Cody Bowen of Union County told Fox News. “The problem that we have is not … magazine capacity. It’s not background checks.
NBC News is under mounting pressure to explain its actions after suspending star reporter Miguel Almaguer over one of his Today show segments on the Paul Pelosi hammer attack.
It took the action despite a second report on the company-owned-and-operated NBC Bay Area station that repeats many of the same points in Almaguer’s report.
National correspondent Almaguer quoted sources saying the husband of House Speaker Nancy did not immediately declare an emergency when he answered the door to police at the couple's San Francisco home following a 911 call.
NBC removed the footage from its website hours after airing on November 4,
On November 4, 2022, the Republican staff of the House Judiciary Committee published a report based primarily on whistleblower testimony, describing how the FBI and the Justice Department have become politically weaponized against conservatives. I strongly urge every AT reader to download the report and spend 30 to 60 minutes reading the first 50 pages. Here are a few of the salient points.
The Washington Field Office is manipulating its case filing system to feign a nationwide rise in domestic terrorism.
The geography of where a crime is committed ordinarily determines who will open an FBI file. For example,
The Republican Party has officially taken the majority in the House of Representatives.
The GOP secured the 218 seats needed to flip control from the Democrats, eight days after midterm elections night.
Their victory means President Biden's agenda will face roadblocks in the final two years of his first term and they will have investigative powers when they take control of committees.
Rep. James Comer, who is set to take over as Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has warned there will be probes into Biden's family, the border and COVID.
The Senate on Wednesday voted 62-37 to advance a bill that would protect same-sex marriage.
The Senate voted to open debate on a bill that will ‘codify’ same-sex marriage.

Dissatisfied with the overly secular local schools where his three young daughters attended, a retired U.S. Navy fighter pilot has launched his own K-8 school, which by implication, apparently provides an alternative to wokeism.
Located in the Annapolis, Md., area, Divine Mercy Academy provides a classical liberal arts education in the Catholic tradition that inspires students. (Video) According to founder Ali Ghaffari, the rapid growth of the independent Catholic school is, in part, fueled by, a curriculum “that inspires kids to learn and to want to learn more, to go deeper, by using the greatest works of Western civilization.”
Former President Donald Trump is set to attend two major events in the days following his 2024 presidential bid announcement, a person familiar with Trump’s schedule told the Daily Caller.
Trump is slated to go to an event at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) this week, before attending the Republican Jewish Coalition’s (RJC) Annual Leadership Meeting this weekend via video, the source close to the presidential candidate said.
The AFPI is kicking off their two-day annual policy meeting at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday, Marc Lotter, the organization’s communications director, told the Caller.
Russia Praises Biden as ‘Restrained

and Professional’ in Response to Poland
Missile Incident 6 replies
The Kremlin’s top spokesman offered rare words of praise for the United States and leftist President Joe Biden in particular on Wednesday, expressing appreciation for a “restrained and … professional” response to a missile landing in Poland on Tuesday night and killing two people.
Explosions in Przewodów, a Polish town near the border with Ukraine, erupted on Tuesday night and were later confirmed to be the result of two missiles of unknown origin making contact with the town. Polish authorities confirmed that the missiles killed two people and summoned the Russian ambassador, as early reports indicated that missiles may have been a Russian attack.
On Wednesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was overwhelmingly reelected to lead the Republican conference for another two years.
The 37-10 vote—which was conducted behind closed doors—comes after an underwhelming midterm election cycle for Republican Senate candidates that opened McConnell up to a challenge from Florida Senator Rick Scott, the head of the National Republican Senate Committee and a longtime rival of McConnell's who has sought to make inroads into Republican leadership for years.
On Tuesday evening, Donald Trump announced he is running for president. While Democrats publicly suggest they want Trump to run because they think they can beat him, Joe Biden already proved that he’s terrified of Trump’s candidacy.
How?
Before Trump’s announcement was even over, Joe Biden tweeted an attack ad against him, rehashing his usual anti-Trump talking points. (Tweet/Video) Joe Biden hasn’t officially announced his candidacy, so this video lacks the typical disclaimers we are used to seeing in a campaign ad. But make no mistake, this is a garden variety campaign attack ad, and Biden let the cat out of the bag
Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made a fresh pitch for amnesty Wednesday when he claimed the U.S. is 'short of workers' so Congress needs to pass a 'path to citizenship' for 'however many undocumented there are here'.
'We're short of workers, we have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to,' the New York Democrat reasoned.
'The only way we're going to have a great future is if we welcome and embrace immigrants… get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many there are here.'

National Public Radio (NPR) claimed that former President Donald Trump inspired a “deadly riot” and tried to “overthrow” the 2020 election after he announced his third consecutive bid for the presidency at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday evening.
After months of speculation, Trump confirmed his 2024 run for president during a special announcement event held at his estate.
“In order to make America great and glorious again, I am tonight announcing my candidacy for the president of the United States,” Trump told a crowd of supporters.
However, NPR blasted Trump shortly after he made his announcement.

Faced with questions about his ability to lead after the midterm election debacle, a defiant Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell deflected blame from his own culpability in the Democrats retaining control of the upper chamber and instead blamed it on public dissatisfaction with MAGA candidates.
The embattled McConnell spoke to reporters on Tuesday, defending his dismal performance and the refusal to adequately fund candidates who were endorsed by former and perhaps future President Donald J. Trump such as Blake Masters in Arizona, instead spending money to support RINO Lisa Murkowski in Alaska against her America first opponent, also a Republican.
She’s a two-time Academy Award-winning film star, an outspoken activist, a veteran fitness guru and an all-around icon — and at 84, Jane Fonda believes her days of accepting accolades and championing causes will be coming to an end “sooner rather than later.”
During a recent interview on “Entertainment Tonight,” the legendary Hollywood talent spoke openly about her own mortality. Fonda addressed the topic when speaking about the urgency for other high-profile celebrities to stand up for important causes because, as she put it, “I’m not going to be around for much longer.” That statement wasn’t in reference to her
An adviser for Sen.-elect John Fetterman is reminding people that he will not be able to answer questions in the usual way due to health-related conditions. Rebecca Katz, a longtime Fetterman adviser, responded to a HuffPost reporter's tweet, saying that there are "two things we need to get out of the way" as reporters are covering the orientation for new members of Congress. "John Fetterman has a suit and will wear it to the Capitol," Katz tweeted. "He is still recovering from a stroke and has lingering auditory processing challenges. The way Hill reporters are used to yelling questions at
After the midterms, the Republican Party and half of the conservative movement are now furious with Donald Trump. Their writs are many — even though the party establishment shares much of the blame.
Even before the midterms, there was a latent feeling among half of Republicans that Trump, given his age, and the animus he incurs among the rich Left and touchy independents, might retire to the role of kingmaker, rather than try a third presidential election.
Trump’s eruptions, coupled with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ stunning and singular midterm success, ensured that such prior latent conservative unease is now overt.

The Associated Press called the Arizona gubernatorial race for Democrat Katie Hobbs at 9:30 pm Monday night. Hobbs, who stared down calls to recuse herself from overseeing her own election as Arizona’s secretary of state, is expected to certify her own election near the end of the month.
Hobbs’ opponent, Kari Lake, who had been widely expected to win, may not go quietly into the night. Shortly before the “vote dump” that preceded the call, Lake was on Fox News’s “Jesse Watters Primetime.” (Video) “What’s going to happen when we hear about this vote dump?” asked Watters.
“I don’t know… We think we should be in good shape,” she said,

As we previously reported, President Joe Biden has been on an overseas tour of sorts over the course of the last several days. As per the norm, there has been one embarrassment after another with perhaps the most notable one being his shameless kowtowing to Chinese “leaders” ahead of the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia at a time when the United States should be projecting strength and competency on a world stage. But in a far more concerning moment, multiple news outlets are reporting that Biden unexpectedly bowed out of the G20 leaders’ dinner Monday night without explanation, calling an “early lid”
Senate Republicans voted Wednesday to elect Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as their leader over National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Rick Scott (R-Fla.) who announced his desire to replace McConnell at an acrimonious conference meeting Tuesday. A large majority of GOP senators voted to elect McConnell leader after a motion backed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and other conservatives to delay the leadership election until after the Dec. 6 Georgia runoff failed.
America's #1 cable news channel was the outlet that former vice president Mike Pence chose on Tuesday evening to do everything but formally declare that he will be a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.
In an extensive live interview with Bret Baier from New York, where he is promoting his political memoir, So Help Me God, published yesterday (including an hour-long town hall on CNN tonight), Pence used the high-profile platform of Fox News to position himself as a sane, moderate, Christian-inspired alternative to President Trump as well as any other candidates among the growing number who plan to challenge President Biden in two years.
Former first daughter Ivanka Trump said late Tuesday that she would play no part in her father’s 2024 presidential campaign, one day after The Post reported the former commander-in-chief had pleaded with her to be on stage with him when he announced his run.
“I love my father very much. This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family. I do not plan to be involved in politics,” Ivanka, 41, said in a statement.
“While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena,” she added.
House Republicans nominated Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) to be Speaker in a closed-door conference meeting on Tuesday after he faced a last-minute protest challenge from Rep. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), a former chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus.
McCarthy won easily, 188 to 31, in the internal conference meeting. But in the eyes of Biggs and his supporters, the goal was merely to demonstrate that McCarthy lacks the support to seize the gavel when the full House meets to choose the Speaker early next year. The 31 votes opposing McCarthy easily met that threshold, raising immediate questions
Far-left network MSNBC did not carry former President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign announcement speech live.
Trump spoke at 9 p.m. on November 15 from Mar-a-Lago.
Fox News aired most of the speech, but also cut away for analysis from Sean Hannity, Mike Huckabee, Pete Hegseth, Leo Terrell, and others.
“CNN also carried Trump’s remarks live but cut away after about 20 minutes to offer analysis from a political panel and fact-checks of the various claims Trump made during his speech on issues ranging from energy to the results of the midterm elections,” The Hill reports.
Recalling how former Vice Presidents Al Gore and Dan Quayle fulfilled their roles in certifying elections they lost was much more influential in former Vice President Mike Pence’s ceremonial ending of the 2020 campaign than his boss, former President Donald Trump. In one of several interviews to promote his new book, Pence said he looked to the examples of Quayle and Gore in deciding to certify the election of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Jan. 6, 2021.
