Germany: McDonald’s During Ramadan is
Just the Sizzle Without the Steak
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 3/6/2026 9:20:30 AM
In Europe, where 47 million Muslims now live, more and more businesses are demonstrating their respect for Islam, hoping their sensitivity to Muslim needs will turn some — many — of those Muslims into satisfied customers. The latest tale of Islamopandering comes from Germany, where all McDonald’s stores have chosen to observe Ramadan by taking the food out of its advertising. As they used to say, it’s just the sizzle without the steak. No burgers, no fries, no special sauce. Nothing to see but an empty paper container. Christine Douglass-Williams wrote about this an hour ago, and more on the latest example of preposterous kowtowing to Muslims

A Democrat Minnesota state lawmaker has called for a study to see if there is a "benefit of shoplifting and retail theft" while he was discussing the topic in a committee meeting on Thursday.
Democrat state Rep. Dave Pinto stated, "Yesterday, there was a presentation from a group seeking to change how we address organized retail theft,
and I actually had not occurred to me to ask, it probably would have been good, it would have been good to make sure that they would study sort of the benefit of shoplifting and of retail theft because perhaps people are relying on that and sort of using that. Maybe it's
Sen. John Cornyn’s (R-TX) record is receiving increased scrutiny as the Washington establishment spends tens of millions to save the embattled incumbent from a grassroots challenge by MAGA-aligned Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Cornyn and his allies spent a staggering $70 million in the primary to paint the four-term career politician as a friend of President Donald Trump with a conservative record – spending that made the Texas Republican Senate primary the most expensive primary in the nation’s history. But those Washington consultant-crafted ads hide that Cornyn has spent nearly a decade working to stop President Donald Trump and more than two decades undermining the conservative movement.
Jan. 6 Narrative Control: Virginia’s
HB 333 Requires ‘Insurrection’ Framing

HB 333 Requires ‘Insurrection’ Framing
If Topic Is Taught 10 replies
Virginia lawmakers have now advanced a bill to regulate how public school teachers discuss the events of January 6, 2021.
House Bill 333 (HB 333), passed by the Democratic-controlled legislature in Richmond, would directly block teachers from presenting the Capitol protest as a “peaceful demonstration” or suggesting that any widespread fraud tainted the 2020 presidential election.
The legislation makes Virginia the first Democratic-led state to wade into this type of “censorship territory.”
The bill is permissive, not required—schools may choose to teach about it, but only if they follow the rules. It doesn’t force any school to include January 6 in their curriculum.
President Trump didn’t attend the star-studded memorial service for the Rev. Jesse Jackson but he was at the top of mind for many of its speakers. Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Al Sharpton all used their eulogies to take pot shots at the president, his policies, and his vision for America.
“Let me just say I predicted a lot about what’s happening right now,” Harris bragged as the crowd roared in applause. “I’m not into saying I told you so but we did see it coming." She did not mention Trump by name but it was clear she was talking about his presidency. Trump overwhelmingly beat her
Sen. Tim Scott has spent years carefully building this image as a friendly, non-threatening Republican who gets along with everyone. He smiles, keeps his tone upbeat, and rarely picks a fight (unless it’s on behalf of George Floyd). That approach might work for cable news interviews, but it doesn’t work when you’re supposed to be running one of the most important political operations in the country. Right now, Tim Scott is in charge of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. That job has one very important responsibility. Tim is in charge of recruiting strong candidates, raising lots of money, organizing high-level strategy, and helping Republicans win Senate races.
Thursday on MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) said former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will have to answer questions from investigators in Minnesota.
Walz said, “Former Secretary Noem should probably get used to spending more time in Minnesota because I have a pretty good feeling in the future she may be doing that because we have got to get accountability.”
Host Jen Psaki said, “When you say she, she’s just expect to spend some time, more time in Minnesota what do you mean by that?”
Walz said, “Well, look, our folks are going to be, looking into each and every one of these incidents that happened.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said Thursday that the United States has no plans to admit a new wave of Middle Eastern refugees as the conflict with Iran unfolds.
President Donald Trump announced in a Truth Social video early Saturday that the U.S. military launched Operation Epic Fury alongside Israel’s Operation Lion’s Roar. During a press briefing about the Iran attack, a reporter asked whether the Trump administration had safeguards in place to prevent a surge of refugees entering the United States.

Republican lawmakers have finally referred Cassidy Hutchinson to the Department of Justice to see if criminal charges can be brought against her.
And I say “finally,” because Hutchinson is the lunatic who testified under oath that she’d been told that President Donald Trump was so upset the Secret Service would not allow him to attend the rally at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, he literally got into a physical altercation in the presidential limo known as “The Beast.”
Meet the January 6 Committee’s “star” witness in November of 2022:
So, once the president had gotten into the vehicle
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is continuing its investigation into former President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen in the final months of his administration — focusing on pardons and commutations — though a senior official said Biden is unlikely to face criminal exposure. A senior DOJ official told Fox News the autopen investigation is ongoing and not closed, adding investigators are reviewing clemency actions taken in the final months of the Biden administration.
The official also pointed out, however, that the use of an autopen by a sitting president is "established law."
The issue under review is whether the autopen was used in violation of the law, specifically, whether
President Donald Trump said he is appointing Kristi Noem as his “special envoy for the Shield of the Americas” as he announced her removal as homeland security secretary. The White House says the initiative reflects Trump’s effort to shift U.S. national security strategy toward the Western Hemisphere.
Trump is scheduled to meet Saturday with leaders from 11 Latin American countries at his golf club in Doral, Florida, for what the administration is calling a “Shield” summit. Leaders from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago are expected to attend,

taking over investigating employers and illegals… 14 replies
Something pretty big just went down behind the scenes in the federal government, and it could end up changing the entire illegal immigration game. According to a new report, the Department of Homeland Security appears to be stepping in and taking a more aggressive role in investigating illegal employment inside the United States.
And no, they’re not politely coordinating with the IRS. They basically just told them to “take a seat.”
DHS is reportedly bypassing the IRS and using its own investigative team to dig into the relationship between employers and illegal workers. For years, everyone avoided this tactic. Why? Because the uniparty knew it would actually break the pipeline,

The Obama Presidential Center’s grand opening celebrations will begin in June, almost five years after its groundbreaking in Chicago, the Obama Foundation announced. The center -- a museum and public gathering space in honor of former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama -- will be dedicated on Thursday, June 18, and the campus will open to the public the next day, the foundation said in a press release. The celebrations will run through June 21 "with a series of events that bring together the changemakers, community members, volunteers, and supporters who made the Obama presidency a reality and
A significant number of House Democrats voted “no” on declaring the Islamic Republic of Iran a “state sponsor of terrorism.”
Sponsored by Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL), the resolution passed the U.S. House on Thursday by a 372-53 vote. Two Democrats voted present. While squad members like Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) were expected to vote “no,” a full 53 proved somewhat surprising. The resolution said nothing about President Trump’s strikes on Iran, while saying the regime “remains the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and provides substantial financial and military support to groups including Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis,”
American gasoline prices continued to rise on Friday and are up the most of any week since 2022. Iran widened attacks on energy-producing countries near its borders and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to shipping, dashing hopes for a quick resolution to a crisis sending shockwaves through global markets. The United States last Saturday began a military campaign in Iran, one that has continued throughout the week with aggression. Friday at 1 p.m. Eastern, the U.S. national average price for regular gasoline had jumped approximately 35.9 cents per gallon from the same time in the previous week, reaching approximately $3.34 per gallon, according to GasBuddy.
His “Glory Days” with some fans have passed him by. Bruce Springsteen’s fans are furious over the legendary rocker’s astronomical ticket prices for his upcoming “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour, which critics argue are unaffordable for his “working class fanbase” and contradict his Man of the People image. The woke New Jersey billionaire is pushing the anti-President Trump “No Kings” agenda in his advertising campaign for the 20-date tour with his E Street Band — but is ironically charging prices fit for royalty, at up to $3,000 a ticket. “I couldn’t be more disappointed in the Boss … how
In yet another decision that has ignited widespread fury among victim's rights activists and law enforcement, the California Board of Parole Hearings has granted early release to Roberto Detrinidad, a convicted home invasion rapist who described his heinous crime as his "Super Bowl of Crime." Detrinidad, an HIV-positive felon sentenced to life in prison for breaking into a San Francisco woman's apartment and sodmizing her while she slept, will walk free from San Quentin State Prison on May 5. 2026 -- unless Governor Gavin Newsom intervenes. The shocking parole after only 11 years exemplifies the dangerous consequences of Newsom's criminal justice reforms (snip)
One of Jeffrey Epstein’s prison guards googled the sex predator minutes before he was found dead — and also made a mysterious $5,000 cash deposit 10 days before the predator’s jail-cell suicide, new Department of Justice documents reveal.
Tova Noel was one of the two Metropolitan Correctional Center workers accused of falsifying records to say they checked on Epstein throughout the night before his Aug. 10, 2019, suicide.[snip]
Earlier that shift, Noel, 37, shopped for furniture online and snoozed on the job instead of making the mandated checks on Epstein every 30 minutes, while Thomas perused motorcycles, prosecutors said.
By blocking a Senate vote that would let the SAVE Act become law, Democrats are setting themselves up for big trouble — since their arguments against voter-ID are so transparently absurd.
Per Pew, 83% of all American adults support requiring some form of ID to vote in US elections — and that includes 71% of Democrats.
Which explains the massive alliance of left-wing groups mobilized to fight the voter-ID measure that should appear on the ballot this fall in California, a state Democrats now completely dominate.
The ACLU, Common Cause and so on would love to derail the measure before it faces a vote, even though
The BBC is facing backlash after BBC Persian mistranslated comments made by U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth during a broadcast. In the original speech, Hegseth made clear that U.S. military operations in Iran are aimed at Iran's regime rather than its citizens, stating, "It turns out the regime that chanted 'Death to America and death to Israel' was gifted death from America and death from Israel. (snip)" However BBC Persian translated this as "It turns out the people who chanted 'Death to America and death to Israel was gifted death from America and death from Israel," making it look as though the Iranian people (snip) are being targeted (snip)
President Trump Expands Iranian Target List

Overnight last night, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian issued a statement apologizing for attacks against neighboring countries and claiming that some attacks were carried out independently by regional commanders without directive due to loss of communicationPresident Pezeshkian further stating the Temporary Leadership Council in Iran had ordered a halt to attacks on other countries unless their territory is used to attack IranWithin hours the remaining elements of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) rebuked the statement by President Pezeshkian saying the IRGC would continue attacking any/all gulf states as needed. This was followed by the Iranian clergy saying their president was “weak, unprofessional and totally unacceptable.”
The argument against the war with Iran boils down to two points. The first point is that this war was initiated by the hated President Trump, and so it should be opposed. That point cannot be rebutted because it is not a point at all; it’s simply a reactionary expression of hate by people who scarcely bother to conceal their hope that Iran wins.
So, let’s move on to the second point.The second point is that we were able to handle Iran’s aggression for many years without going to war, and so we could have continued to handle its aggression for many more years without going to war.
The U.N. said on Friday that over 100,000 people have been displaced by fighting between Afghanistan and Pakistan, which has been running at a tempo close to open warfare for the past week with no end in sight The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) begged Afghanistan and Pakistan to cease hostilities and turn their attention to resolving the humanitarian crisis created by their cross-border clashes.. The U.N. agency said the displacements were especially severe on the Afghan side of the border, where at least 56 civilians have been killed – including 24 children and 6 women –
How Meet the Press Harms Our Democracy

We should all be concerned about serious problems with our elections, the heart of our democracy. But we can’t fix problems that we refuse to face. There was no better example of the head-in-the-sand attitude than what was recently demonstrated by Kristen Welker of NBC’s prestigious Meet the Press, as she held forth with House Speaker Mike Johnson in February, regarding, among other topics, the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. In the wake of the Trump administration’s FBI seizure of 2020 Georgia election records, Welker barked at Johnson that raising questions about the validity of the 2020 election is dangerous to our democracy.
