Texas has a good idea. Arrest the Undocumented for Trespassing. They have already arrested over 37,000 for Trespassing. This sounds like a good law for all the states to adopt this law.

Texas Spokesperson Ericka Miller said those arrested included gang members, human traffickers, sex offenders and others.

“Had we not been there, all of it likely would have crossed into the country unimpeded,” Miller told The Associated Press. “The state of Texas is working to send a message to those considering crossing into the country illegally to think again.”

What world dictators keep or try to keep the opposition off the ballot?

Thank a Democrat.

What world dictators keep or try to keep the opposition off the ballot? The United States joined several other countries that keep or try to keep the opposition off the ballot.

The Biden administration has enacted or threatened sanctions against foreign nations who have kicked opposition candidates off the ballot, leading some lawmakers to question the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling this week to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 election ballot.

Russia, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Belarus, and now the United States has joined that list. Thank a Democrat.

The United States used sanctions against these countries and asked the world community to also sanction these countries.

Smith lying again.

Smith trying to stop Trump from using evidence. Again Smith has run to the judge. This time his goal is to keep out evidence. Special Counsel Jack Smith wants to prevent President Trump from blaming provocateurs and undercover agents for the January 6 Capitol riot.

“Through public statements, filings and argument in hearings before the court, the defense has attempted to inject into this case partisan political attacks and irrelevant and prejudicial issues that have no place in a jury trial,” Jack Smith’s 20-page filing said.

“Although the court can recognize these efforts for what they are and disregard them, the jury — if subjected to them — may not. The court should not permit the defendant to turn the courtroom into a forum in which he propagates irrelevant disinformation, and should reject his attempt to inject politics into this proceeding,” Smith wrote according to the court filing

But, but $20 an hour was to create a fair livable wage. Pizza Hut across California lays off drivers.

Thank a Democrat.

But, but $20 an hour was to create a fair livable wage. Pizza Hut across California lays off drivers. So what happened? Why would anyone be surprised? This is only the beginning. The increase goes into effect come April. Don’t be surprised if more layoffs happen.

KTLA 5 reported:

Two large Pizza Hut operators in California are laying off all their delivery drivers ahead of a new state law that raises the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 an hour, Business Insider reports.

The layoffs impact hundreds of Pizza Hut locations across the state including Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Ventura and San Bernardino counties and Sacramento, and involve more than 1,200 in-house delivery drivers.

The job cuts will take place through February, according to federal employment notices obtained by Business Insider.

In 2022, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California signed the FAST Act into law. It called for the minimum wage for fast-food workers to increase to $22 an hour in 2023. But corporate chains such as McDonald’s, Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, and franchise-advocacy groups fought the law. A coalition of restaurant-industry organizations said the law could raise costs for fast-food restaurants by $3 billion. They rallied to get a referendum on the ballot.

A new law, AB 1228, replaced the controversial FAST Act this year. The minimum-wage increase for fast-food workers was changed to $20 an hour. The new law was viewed as a compromise between the labor unions representing fast-food workers and the restaurant industry.

So, now those folks will have to rely on third party delivery services and you know that won’t be cheap. The law affects 557,000 fast-food workers at 30,000 restaurants in California.

Say what? CIA being sued for hiding COVID information?

Say what? CIA being sued for hiding COVID information? The Heritage Foundation tried getting information from the CIA. CIA refused. Heritage used the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request earlier this year. CIA said no again. So, they filed a lawsuit.

In the lawsuit, the Heritage Foundation states that they filed a FOIA request for information relating to the CIA’s COVID-19 Discovery team, such as its creation, records among members, communications between members and documents “regarding the pay history, to include the awarding of any type of financial or performance-based incentive/financial bonus to members of all iterations of the COVID Discovery Team(s).”

Stay tuned.

Does she practice at being illiterate? Judge Chutkan.

Affirmative Action Judge displaying her ignorance of the law.

Does she practice at being illiterate? Judge Chutkan. As many of you know, President Trump went to the Supreme Court to get away from this loon judge. Trump’s claiming immunity for acts while President. But the affirmative appointed Judge is confused. Below is part of her denying Trump.

“Whatever immunities a sitting President may enjoy, the United States has only one Chief Executive at a time, and that position does not confer a lifelong ‘get-out-of-jail-free’ pass.”

When the allegations were supposedly committed, Trump was the President. Why did the judge think that Trump meant anything different?

Winning for now. Labor Secretary Fails Senate Confirmation.

Biden to renominate Julie Su for labor secretary despite GOP opposition © Provided by Washington Examiner

Winning for now. Labor Secretary Fails Senate Confirmation. Acting Labor Secretary, Julie Su wasn’t confirmed by the Senate who refused to confirm or deny her appointment.

This now goes back to Biden’s desk for him to renominate her.

“Upon Secretary Walsh’s departure, acting Secretary Su automatically became acting secretary under its organic statute, not under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act,” a White House official said in July. “As a result, Su is not subject to the time limits of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act and she can serve as acting secretary indefinitely.”

How afraid is Biden of Trump? Ask the NY Times.

How afraid is Biden of Trump? Ask the NY Times.

Times reporters Katie Benner, Katie Rogers, and Michael S. Schmidt published an article on April 2, 2022, about Biden’s frustration with Garland about the lack of prosecution against Trump, according to two people familiar with Biden’s comments.

“The attorney general’s deliberative approach has come to frustrate Democratic allies of the White House and, at times, President Biden himself,” the Times reported. “As recently as late last year, Mr. Biden confided to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted, according to two people familiar with his comments.”

“And while the president has never communicated his frustrations directly to Mr. Garland, he has said privately that he wanted Mr. Garland to act less like a ponderous judge and more like a prosecutor who is willing to take decisive action over the events of Jan. 6,” the report added.

 

(1) David Sacks on X: “Reminder: Lawfare came from Biden. According to NYT (4/2/22), Biden told his inner circle that Trump should be prosecuted for Jan 6 and Merrick Garland should stop acting “like a ponderous judge” and take decisive action. Democrats across the country took their cues from the top. https://t.co/3odoGFHGYN” / X (twitter.com)

FBI Director Christopher Wray told the House Judiciary Committee in July that the bureau’s actions were limited to “a single field office.”

Attack on Conservative Catholics.

FBI Director Christopher Wray told the House Judiciary Committee in July that the bureau’s actions were limited to “a single field office.” But a report by Judicial Watch tells a different story.

Judicial Watch reported that the 98 pages it obtained through a Freedom of Information lawsuit showed that the FBI memo from earlier this year that tagged some Catholics as violent extremists due to their religious beliefs was reviewed by the agency’s Office of General Counsel. Coordination also took place with Portland and Milwaukee officials.

This is what was uncovered so far. How many other FBI offices may have also investigated and here’s the difference. Conservative Catholics and Catholic groups.

Catholic churches have been attacked more than 200 times since May of 2022.”
