California’s $20 Fast Food Minimum
Wage Led to 18,000 Fewer Jobs
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 7/22/2025 8:24:17 PM
California’s new $20-per-hour minimum wage for fast food workers has resulted in a significant decline in employment in that sector, leading to 18,000 fewer jobs than would have been the case otherwise. That’s according to a new paper released by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) this month, which said: We analyze the effect of California’s $20 fast food minimum wage, which was enacted in September 2023 and went into effect in April 2024, on employment in the fast food sector. In unadjusted data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, we find that employment in California’s fast food sector declined by 2.7 percent

WASHINGTON — Russian intelligence obtained damaging information about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s health amid her 2016 presidential campaign — including evidence that she had “psycho-emotional problems” that were being treated with severe sedatives — but Vladimir Putin chose not to release it before that year’s election because he thought the Democrat would win.
The astounding revelations were contained in a Sept. 18, 2020, House Intelligence Committee report that reviewed Russia’s influence on the 2016 contest and was declassified and made public Wednesday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.
Russia’s foreign intelligence service, the SVR, “possessed DNC communications that Clinton was suffering from ‘intensified psycho-emotional problems,

During an interview on CBS News on Tuesday, Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) argued that economic indices on the stock market, employment, and inflation are just being made up by the Trump administration and “what they’re reporting are just numbers and we don’t know how much accuracy [there] is.”
Host and CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Major Garrett asked, “Congresswoman, the White House says, repeatedly, and there are some numbers that back them up on this, the stock market is up, investment in this country is up, employment is up or stable, inflation is down or stable. Most of the economic indices they point to are on the upswing.

Hallie Helgeson in Wisconsin Drunk Driving Crash 10 replies
An illegal alien has been accused of killing 18-year-old Hallie Helgeson in a drunk driving crash in Dane County, Wisconsin, as well as seriously injuring Helgeson’s longtime boyfriend, 19-year-old Brady Heiling.
Noelia A. Martinez, a 30-year-old illegal alien with a history of drunk driving, has been arrested and charged with second-degree homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, second-degree homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle with prohibited alcohol concentration, drunk driving, and knowingly operating a vehicle on a revoked license, among other charges.
On July 20, Martinez was allegedly drunk driving when she crashed into Hallie and Brady, who were in Brady’s Volkswagen Tiguan.

No more federally-funded corporate welfare to the tune of about a billion dollars in taxpayer money for PBS and NPR.
No more left-wing affirmative action to the tune of $40 million in annual losses at CBS to keep smarmy Stephen Colbert’s Late Show on the air.
And now, Netflix has put an end to the $100 million in woke affirmative action set up for the HarryMeg.

When Hamid Moghadam, CEO of San Francisco-based Prologis — the largest industrial real estate firm in the world — sounded the alarm in a recent Bloomberg interview that “construction costs are going to go up radically... all of this immigration stuff is putting more pressure on construction,” he wasn’t just talking dollars and cents.
He was exposing the dirty secret about California’s construction labor market that Democrats have spent decades covering up.
For too long, California Democrats have gaslit the public, claiming illegal immigration fills jobs “Americans won’t do.” The truth? Illegal immigration props up a rigged system that actively shuts out legal American workers.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released further evidence Wednesday morning, which she claims shows the Obama administration's direct involvement in the 2016 post-presidential election Russia hoax.
Gabbard, describing the plot as the "most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history," posted a series of lies which have, in her view, been debunked by declassifying a 2020 House Intelligence Committee report.
The report was an assessment of how the Obama administration manufactured a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, which portrayed Russia as having influenced the 2016 election in favor of Donald Trump.
That assessment was "false," Gabbard writes,

Autopen Pardons, and Let's Start by Charging
Anthony Fauci 8 replies
As we now know, thousands of documents and pardons weren’t signed by then-President Joe Biden during his disastrous tenure—they were “signed” by a robotic autopen. Both the House Oversight Committee and the White House Counsel’s Office are currently investigating whether they are all legal, considering Ole Joe may not have even known that certain measures were being autographed in his name.
At least one senator doesn’t believe the pardons will stand up to legal scrutiny, and he wants to kill two birds with one stone: challenge them in court, and charge former Chief Medical Advisor to the President and serial fabulist Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Matt covered this Monday. In a shocking incident, a Delta pilot had to inform passengers and apologize for an aggressive maneuver he made to avoid a potential mid-air collision with a B-52 bomber.
“Sorry about the aggressive maneuver. It caught me by surprise,” the Delta pilot said, which was captured on video. “This is not normal at all. I don’t know why they didn’t give us a heads up.” [Tweet, video]
Predictably, this near-miss made headlines all over the country. To recap, just months ago, a mid-air collision between a military helicopter and a commercial airliner occurred over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C, killing everyone on board.
Border czar Tom Homan was unfazed by Hunter Biden’s criticism of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration, saying he doesn’t “really care what the former first drug addict thinks.”
Homan was responding to Biden’s recent profanity-laced interview with YouTube creator Andrew Callaghan, where the former first son appeared to take issue with losing cheap labor if illegal immigrants are sent back to their home countries. (Snip) "I just thank God every morning I wake up we got President Trump in the Oval Office," Homan told Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
A sweeping new bill to create a Cabinet-level Secretary of the Coast Guard has cleared committee and is ready to head for a vote on the House floor. Congress and the Department of Homeland Security want to elevate the Coast Guard to better match the stature of other military branches, especially as it takes on growing roles in stopping illegal migration and drug trafficking under the Trump administration.
Representative Mike Ezell (R-MS), Representative Sam Graves (R-MO), Rick Larsen (D-WA), and Salud Carbajal (D-CA) introduced the Coast Guard Authorization Act on July 2nd, and the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed the measure on July 15th.
Is Texas Ready for Beto 4.0?

Robert Francis 'Beto' O'Rourke says he's not ruling out a 2026 Senate run, telling an interviewer that he's busy holding town hall meetings, and urging Democrats to become more "ruthless" in pursuit of power. The man is obviously running for something because he's always running for something. The son of a politician in Texas, the fourth-generation Irish-American has been seeking elective office for two decades. He was a local official in El Paso for years, then ran for Congress, getting elected for three terms. That's when his higher ambitions really entered full bloom. He became Democrats' US Senate nominee against Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018,
Folks on the left are still mourning the death of alleged comedian Stephen Colbert, who was recently fired from hosting “The Late Show.”
When the news about Colbert’s impending departure surfaced, leftists on the airwaves and interwebs pounced on the opportunity to slam CBS for canning him, saying it was somehow a violation of free speech. Others suggested that it was the fault of President Donald Trump.
In a recent airing of “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin joined the fray of frantic phonies pretending Colbert’s firing was a free speech issue. She intimated that the motivation behind the development “could be financial” or “purely political.”

Barack Obama has broken his silence on calls from Donald Trump for him to be prosecuted by unequivocally rejecting his successor’s accusations that he tried to engineer a “coup” following Trump’s 2016 election victory by “manufacturing” evidence of Russian interference.
Obama’s office took the unusual step of issuing an emphatic refutation after Trump told reporters that his predecessor had “[tried] to lead a coup” against him and was guilty of “treason” over intelligence assessments suggesting that Russia had intervened to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton in the campaign.

On July 13, 2024, 20-year-old Thomas Crooks, before witnesses and unimpeded by law enforcement, climbed onto the roof of the American Glass Research (AGR) building at the Butler Farm Show. He was 441 feet away from the stage on which candidate Donald Trump was addressing 15,000 enthusiastic supporters. . . .These parallel reports set forth a detailed narrative of official mismanagement, disorder, incompetence, and inexplicable failures that converged to afford Crooks the clear and readily preventable opportunity to murder Trump.

I was a kid during the Watergate hearings in 1973 and 1974, after Richard Nixon's historic landslide re-election. I wasn't too interested in politics at that point - I was 12 - but my Dad made me sit and watch all the coverage with him, admonishing me that "this is history being made." This is the same man, mind you, who a year or two later made me read Aristotle's "Organon" - then quizzed me on it afterward. But I suspect my interest in politics began with Watergate, with that historic event.
Now, we're seeing an equally historic event. And the legal wranglings are beginning: On Wednesday

French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, have filed a defamation lawsuit against American conservative commentator Candace Owens over claims that the French First Lady was born as a man.
The first couple of France filed a 218-page lawsuit in the U.S. state of Delaware on Wednesday against Mrs Owens and her businesses, alleging that she has financially gained from making “demonstrably false” claims about Brigitte Macron being secretly transgender.
Owens has previously stated that she would stake her “entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man,” while claiming that Macron was, in fact, her brother

The Democratic Party’s attempt to “resist” President Donald Trump is backfiring, the latest I&I/TIPP poll shows. A plurality of American adults now believe the one-time party of the center has gone too far to the left.
Voters who responded to the online national poll of 1,421 adults, taken from June 25 to June 27, were asked the following question: “Do you think the Democratic Party has become too radical in its views and policies?”
A strong plurality of 45% of all poll respondents said yes, while 36% said no and another 18% said they weren’t sure. The poll’s margin of error is +/-2.7 percentage points.

We thought it was a betrayal of Los Angeles fire victims that the local government slow-rolled the building permit process to wait out property owners so the state could replace their homes with "low-income" apartments. It turns out, however, that the betrayal has just gotten worse.
We learn this week, thanks to the great work of a lone reporter at a small Southern California publication called Circling the News, that a whopping $100 million donated to help fire victims isn't making its way to actual fire victims.
