Macs, 25 states don’t care

Twenty-five states are boosting their minimum wages in 2024, with California leading the way with a bump to $16 for all employees. But fast-food workers in California enjoy a special carve out — effective April 1, 2024, employees at most fast-food chains with more than 60 locations will make $20 an hour. At the same time, Pizza Hut is laying off more than 1,200 delivery drivers in California, according to Fox News. (Video) For many Americans who have been fed the fantasy of Keynesian economics, they don’t quite grasp that as wages go up so too do prices, which Brandon Arnold of the National Taxpayers Union explained

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy told Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson on Wednesday fellow candidate Nikki Haley is who the “bipartisan system” wants to keep the “war machine humming.”
Ramaswamy appeared on “Tucker Carlson Uncensored” to discuss his run for the upcoming 2024 GOP primary elections. Carlson had asked the GOP presidential candidate what he’s “noticed” regarding the “subtext” of the 2024 race.
Ramaswamy stated the “real puppet” is Haley, claiming the GOP was part of “paying to keep” former President Donald Trump “off of the ballot.”

“I just want to ask you one news-of-the-day question before I let you go about the Supreme Court, potentially taking up the issue of taking the former President Trump off the ballot in Colorado and in Maine, where there is also this effort,” FNC host Martha MacCallum said. “What do you think about those efforts to take the former president off the ballot based on an insurrection charge that he has not been charged with?”

The United States is in A Dark Place
2 replies
We are in a dark place as a country. This is a direct result of the extreme shift to the Left by the Democrat Party. Prior to 2020, President Barack Obama was our most far-Left President. But even Obama was still on the cusp between being an extreme liberal and being a communist. In a recent book, John Drew wrote about his occasional meetings with Obama in the early 1980s and that Drew -- a leftist at that time -- had persuaded Obama to accept a more moderate position than that of the hardcore Marxists. In another article in the same book, Trevor Loudoun reveals that Obamacare was
Ousted Harvard President Claudine Gay speaks out for the first time since her resignation in a New York Times essay, playing down plagiarism allegations and revealing she has been bombarded with racist threats.
Gay, 53, resigned on Tuesday and is now revealing she has been threatened and attacked with hate speech.
Gay wrote, 'On Tuesday, I made the wrenching but necessary decision to resign as Harvard’s president. For weeks, both I and the institution to which I’ve devoted my professional life have been under attack.'
It's been apparent for some time that Joe Biden isn't in any condition to run for president this year. He's in even poorer condition to serve another four years as president; hell, he's not in any shape to serve as president now. I've written a fair amount recently on President Biden's manifest unfitness for office, and going into the election cycle, he's just going to get worse. The question a lot of us are asking is, "What are the Democrats going to do about this?"Over at the Washington Times, Joe Navarro has some ideas. First, he posits — as I have — a Democrat convention coup
The Breitbart Business Digest (BBD) had the opportunity to sit down for an exclusive interview with a tanned, rested, and jovial Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago last week for more than two hours. The conversation repeatedly returned to the state of the U.S. economy and his predictions for this election year and beyond.
Trump Roasts “Bidenomics”
The first thing on our mind was to get his broader assessment of “Bidenomics.” If you asked 100 people what the term means, you’d probably get 100 different responses, and we never did get President Trump’s exact definition, but he did say the term has been very bad for Biden.

Joe Biden sported a sunburn as he returned to Washington DC from his New Year's vacation in St Croix - just nine months after he had surgery to remove a cancerous skin lesion from his chest.
Upon return to the White House, the President answered one question from the press when pushed on what was going to be done about the border crisis this year.
'We gotta do something, they gotta give me the money I need to protect the border,' Biden said, after officials revealed over 302,000 people crossed the border illegally in December.
Should our government decide “our democracy” is in imminent danger and it’s necessary to suppress dangerous insurrectionists like Catholics and soccer moms, would America’s federal, state and local police play along?
It has long been common knowledge Federal agencies have been stockpiling enormous quantities of mil-spec arms, ammunition and other gear. Agencies like the Railroad Retirement Board, Department of Education and Fish and Wildlife Service have automatic weapon-armed SWAT teams. Apparently, railroad retirees, federal education grant applicants and Trout are a greater threat to “our democracy” than anyone imagined. Let’s evaluate the real potential threat:
What Did Joe Biden Do to His Face?

While most Americans are struggling to make ends meet in this economy, Joe Biden was just on his gazillionth vacation, this time in St. Croix. And it looks like he enjoyed plenty of time in the sun because on his way back to Washington, D.C. (a mere layover before his next vacation coming up shortly, no doubt), Biden was seen with a wicked sunburn on his face. "The 81-year-old president’s striking new sunburn was on full display as he shook hands on the tarmac of Henry E. Rohlsen Airport in Christiansted, St. Croix, before boarding Air Force One with first lady Jill Biden.
The sun’s rays apparently battered

Intelligence experts are becoming increasingly convinced that six high end brothels in the suburbs of Boston and Washington, D.C. were set up by a foreign nation as an espionage 'honeytrap'.
They believe the brothels – allegedly masterminded by a 41-year-old South Korean woman – targeted politicians, high ranking government officials and defense contractors.
But the mystery is which country was behind the scheme. Russia, China, Korea itself, or even Israel are al seen as possibly being behind the scheme.
The Jewish family who was targeted with foul-mouthed harassment in a New Jersey mall has spoken out in an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com after shocking video of the incident went viral.
On New Year's Day, mother Adi Vaxman was with her husband and two of their children, ages 12 and 16, at the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, where the family hoped to play a round of mini-golf. As they walked through the dense holiday crowds, a young man and woman began hurling obscenities at her daughter, who was wearing a jacket with the logo of the Israeli Defense Forces, which had been a gift from the girl's veteran grandfather.
After weeks of speculation about whether Harvard University's president, Claudine Gay, would be forced to resign amid a plagiarism and antisemitism scandal, Gay announced that she was stepping down. In her resignation letter, Gay spoke of "personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus," and made no mention of her failure to properly address antisemitism or the never-ending allegations of plagiarism against her rather limited record of scholarship. Gay, who exploited race to reach the pinnacle of Harvard, chose to blame racism on her way out the door.
After spending three years largely ignoring the border, the mainstream press is suddenly all over it, with headlines blaring about a “surge,” “crisis” and “call for action.” Why now?
Last week CNN reported that a “December migrant surge” at the southern border was the “largest in more than two decades.” Several other news outlets used similar language. The New York Times warned that “surging” Mexico border crossings “push U.S. resources to the brink.” In another story, CNN even described the situation as a “crisis.”
Weirdly, the press is even exaggerating the current “surge.” Consider that CNN story, which says:
WASHINGTON — The Biden administration on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to allow federal Border Patrol agents to cut through or move razor wire Texas installed on the U.S.-Mexico border as part of a contentious effort by the state to prevent illegal border crossings.
Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar said in a court filing that Border Patrol agents have authority under federal law to access private land at the border and that Texas has no basis to thwart them from carrying out their duties. The Biden administration says the wire prevents agents from reaching migrants who have already crossed over the border into the U.S. The case arose when
The far-left Associated Press covered itself in corruption this week with the claim that disgraced Harvard President Claudine Gay’s resignation “highlights new conservative weapon against colleges: plagiarism.”
You see, according to AP reporters Collin Binkley and Moriah Balingit (the company itself says “the piece was not up to standards and is in the process of being updated”), Claudine Gay’s serial plagiarism isn’t the story. Also, Not The Story is Gay testifying before the U.S. House under oath that within the appropriate context she doesn’t believe that calling for the extermination of Jews on Harvard grounds violates school policy.
No, the story is that “conservatives” used plagiarism as a “weapon” against Gay.
DUBAI, - Two explosions caused by 'terrorist attacks' killed more than 100 people and wounded scores at a ceremony in Iran to commemorate top commander Qassem Soleimani who was killed by a U.S. drone in 2020, Iranian officials said on Wednesday.
Iranian state television reported a first and then a second blast during an anniversary event at the cemetery where Soleimani is buried in the southeastern city of Kerman. An unnamed official told the state news agency IRNA that "Two explosive devices planted along the road leading to Kerman's Martyrs' Cemetery were detonated remotely by terrorists".
Babak Yektaparast, a spokesperson for Iran's emergency services, was reported as saying 73 people had
