Olive Garden Pasta Is More Secure Than
American Elections

Olive Garden guards its unlimited pasta with a photo ID that many American voters are never asked to show at the polls. The comparison took off after Olive Garden addressed its Never-Ending Pasta Pass in a July 16 post on X. The chain wrote that the pass belongs only to the customer named on it, cannot be handed to anyone else, and requires a valid photo ID when the holder orders. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller seized on the rule. “We’ve reached a point in society where access to fettuccine at Olive Garden is vastly more secure than deciding who is Commander-in-Chief of the country,” Miller said

An investigative reporter from the Babylon Wasp (not the bee) talked with a fraud detection and cybersecurity expert hired by Olive Garden. The expert, Luigi Cannoli, identified large orders of pasta coming from Tehran. The suspects were from a neighborhood of starving Iranians. Mr Cannoli is still investigating how the customers would pick up the orders.

At least Olive Garden's pasta doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth!

United Airlines is offering free flight changes to customers who don’t want to fly into Florida’s newly renamed airport, honoring President Trump, according to an internal memo. The guidance issued by the airline appears aimed at customers who are offended by the renaming of Palm Beach International Airport to President Donald J. Trump International Airport, and wish to travel to another airport for that reason alone. "If a customer does not want to fly to the airport, use your empowerment to offer acceptable alternatives such as Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) or Miami International Airport (MIA)," the memo reads. United Airlines denied how the memo was interpreted,

The State Department is considering requiring some green card applicants to hand over thousands of dollars in the Trump administration’s latest bid to ensure new arrivals to the US can support themselves. Some officials have floated making would-be legal permanent residents submit a $100,000 bond if applying at a US consulate overseas, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Others said the deposit amount could fluctuate depending on individual cases.Green card holders would likely be repaid upon becoming US citizens, a process that takes at least five years. “President Trump has made clear that those who wish to immigrate to the United States must be financially self-sufficient,”

Anthony Fauci thinks Biden’s last-minute “autopen” pardon is his golden parachute. But he could be very, very wrong. In reality, that so-called pardon might turn out to be a pair of golden handcuffs instead. Americans have sat back and watched Fauci play a lot of games. He’s dodged, danced, redefined words, split a lot of hairs, and acted like the rest of the country (and the world) was way too stupid to understand what really went down during the COVID circus. He became the face of the “pandemic” response, and according to the media and liberals, he was the patron saint of “trust the science.” Who can forget these absurd candles?

Big Brother has a name, it's Gavin Newsom, and he's coming to inspect the trash of California residents. Starting this month, Sacramento is sending city workers out to peer into residents' garbage, recycling, and organic waste bins, all in the name of complying with a mandate from Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.). The California legislature passed the law behind this intrusion, SB 1383, in 2016, and it took effect in 2022. The stated goal was to cut organic waste disposal by 75% by 2025 to reduce methane emissions and slow climate change. Is it working? Well, that’s the question, isn’t it? That’s why Sacramento apparently decided the best way to find out

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) hosted a Marxist, virulently anti-Israel conference last weekend which openly celebrated terrorism, introduced fledgling activists to "the growing BDS movement," and called on its members to support Iran’s "axis of resistance" and prepare for violence against the United States and Israel. "We are all here to toughen our knuckles," Ryan Delaney, chair of communications for Jacksonville Palestine Solidarity Network, told attendees at the conclusion of events Saturday. "I hope that everybody leaves here ready to fight when they get home," he told roughly 200 cheering attendees.

CARLISLE, Pa. — Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, pleaded with defense contractors to “go faster” as fears grow that the country’s stockpile of weapons is dangerously low after a series of attacks on Iran. “What I need you to know — and I know this is simple for me to say but hard to do — but go faster, please, go faster, think bolder,” he told the Pennsylvania Defense and Innovation Summit. “We all need to deliver quality weapons, delivered on time with shortage of lead times and lower costs,” he said.

William Kristol, the NeverTrump icon and supporter of President George Bush, wants to destroy the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency that protects Americans from nation-changing, wage-slashing mass migration. “Abolish ICE. Now,” Kristol posted on Monday, prompting a vigorous response from ordinary Americans. On Tuesday, Kristol celebrated the news that the Department of Homeland Security has temporarily halted the detention of migrants in vehicle stops, following the second fatal shooting of an illegal-migrant driver: If ICE is telling the truth here, the lesson should be not be to declare victory (ok, take one minute to enjoy the victory), but to redouble pressure on the whole indecent mass deportation regime. Kristol was an establishment

The Mexican government is using lawyers to block ICE’s repatriation of migrant Mexicans back to Mexico, according to Reuters. The news service reported: Mexico has begun filing criminal complaints with state prosecutors in the United States over the deaths of its citizens in U.S. immigration custody and during enforcement operations, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday. Mexico’s government has also sent cease-and-desist letters to U.S. detention centers where Mexican nationals have died, the ministry added in a statement. “I don’t think this situation appears acceptable to anyone,” Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday. “This is an issue for all Mexicans,” she said, portraying the legal intervention as a nationalist cause for Mexicans.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are being instructed to end "most" vehicle stops nationwide in a major policy shift, effective immediately. According to multiple federal sources, ICE agents will cease making traffic stops, which have played a significant role in the agency’s operations until now. A federal source told Fox News that ICE will continue conducting vehicle stops only for those considered to be the most egregious targets with serious or violent criminal histories. This comes after two people were killed in ICE officer-involved shootings in Maine and Texas in the last week. A senior ICE source remarked to Fox News that the change is "horrible but needs to happen."

The Supreme Court asked Congress to provide an additional $14.6 million for security in the fiscal year 2027 Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) funding bill. During a House Appropriations FSGG Committee hearing, Barrett described being sent home in a bullet proof vest after the decision in Dobbs v.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have taken over the Democratic Party, and the only fundamental difference between the DSA and other Democrats is the DSA is willing to say out loud the things other Democrats keep to themselves. Yes, there have been some socialists before. Bernie Sanders hasn't exactly hidden his agenda in the 36 years he's been in Congress, but this new generation of socialists is far more vocal, far more radical, and far more dangerous. Just yesterday, self-described Democratic Socialist Rashida Tlaib said the socialists are going to dismantle this country, which was 'built on slavery, and genocide, and rape, and oppression.'

COVID-19 vaccine injures are so common many of the legislators who pushed them have also been severely injured—but still won't admit it. This culture of silence around these injuries must end. One of the things which has always fascinated me about the world is how certain invisible laws govern the “spontaneous” events that occur around us (e.g., radioactive decay).(Snip) When the COVID-19 vaccines were initially released, I had a large number of patients immediately show up with “moderate” reactions to the COVID vaccines, with many of them stating something to the effect of: “I have gotten a flu shot for years and I have never experienced anything like this.”

Things just keep getting worse for the Democratic Party, and at this rate, they may need a new metaphor because "keeps getting worse" barely covers it anymore. We already told you the polls are tightening heading into the midterms in November, which was bad enough on its own.

Pakistan's Supreme Court quashed the sentences of three individuals convicted of murdering a Christian man and his pregnant wife — Shahzad Masih (26) and Shama Bibi (24). The couple was burned to death after being thrown into a brick kiln. The incident occurred on Nov. 4, 2014, in Punjab's Kasur District. Masih and Bibi, who worked as laborers at a local brick factory, were falsely accused of desecrating pages of the Quran. The brick kiln owner reportedly prevented the couple from fleeing due to a financial dispute. A local Islamic prayer leader used a mosque loudspeaker to incite a crowd against them. A mob of over 1,000 people then converged

It turns out that the “conspiracy theorists” weren’t so crazy after all. President Donald Trump says that foreign governments and corrupt domestic bureaucrats have so compromised our election system across the country that it is worse than a Third World banana republic. “No country could be great without fair and honest elections,” Trump insisted during his Thursday night primetime address. “You have to trust your country because if there can be no trust, there can be no greatness, and that's very simple: no trust, no greatness.” Unfortunately, according to him, between our enemies around the world like the Chinese and Iranian regimes and their collaborators in the American media and

President Trump pointed out Canada’s forestry mismanagement and failure to follow through with their previous promises of investment have led to catastrophic wildfires now producing smoke streams making U.S. Northern cities and states live under dangerous conditions. Prime Minister Mark Carney was asked about the U.S. government position, and he immediately hit back by saying the cause of Canada’s wildfires is ‘climate change’ and President Trump’s unwillingness to support the Paris Climate Treaty has created the problem that Canada is now dealing with. In short, according to the official policy of the Canadian government, their wildfires are caused by Trump’s refusal to accept global “climate change” policies. WATCH:

President Donald Trump's Thursday speech to the nation was short and compact. The new teleprompter person was a bit rusty, but he pulled it off without too many hiccups. As expected, the hiccups came from Democrats and the NeverTrumpers, who had already decided what the substance of the speech would be before Trump even uttered a word.

The US has reportedly notified Israel that it is sending dozens of additional refueling aircraft to Israel, as US President Donald Trump weighs launching another massive bombing offensive against Iran. US and Israeli officials tell the Axios news site that Trump could escalate the strikes against Iran in the coming days, following six consecutive nights of American bombing campaigns of targets across Iran, after the breakdown of last month’s MOU. There are currently 33 US aerial refueling tankers parked at Ben Gurion Airport, which has crowded out other planes used for commercial flights.
