The US Supreme Court will weigh in on restrictions on sex changes for minors.

The Biden Regime challenged Tennessee’s ban on puberty blockers and genital mutilation for minors.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments in the US v. Skremetti in October.

Fox News reported:

The U.S. Supreme Court decided Monday to review the Biden administration’s “equal protection” challenge to Tennessee’s ban on puberty blockers and transgender surgeries for minors.

The case, U.S. v. Skrmetti, will be argued in the term that starts in October.

It is the first time the high court will consider restrictions on puberty blockers, hormone therapy and surgery for minors.

Tennessee is one of 22 states that has measures banning such medical intervention for minors.

A federal appeals court had allowed the law in Tennessee and Kentucky to go into effect pending the outcome of ongoing litigation.

“Tennessee adopted a law that said, if you’re under 18, a doctor can’t provide you with hormone treatments or puberty blockers or gender reassignment surgery, for gender purposes. And we were sued by the DOJ, the ACLU and Lambda Legal,” Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti said in an interview with Fox News last month. “We won in the Sixth Circuit, and now they’re trying to get the US Supreme Court to address that. But the bottom line is the Court of Appeal saw it was states have the authority to decide whether or not these treatments should be legal within their boundaries. And some states authorize them. Some states don’t. That’s the way our system works.”

The Biden White House claims that illegal immigrants, asylum seekers, and welfare recipients all grow the economy, and that giving away government money ends poverty. While illegal immigrants do contribute to economic growth, they do not do so more than legal immigrants or citizens.

And the only way to truly end poverty is for impoverished people to earn more money through work. Providing welfare, while sometimes morally justified, neither grows the economy nor ends poverty.

These assertions about government transfers stimulating economic growth are unfounded, based on the false notion that increasing government debt and printing money leads to real growth. In the short run, this approach reduces the earnings of working people and creates a ballooning government debt that must be paid in the future.

Illegal immigrants, asylum seekers, and welfare recipients receive government transfer payments funded primarily by income tax paid by working people. Supporters of these payments argue that recipients stimulate the economy by spending them. While this is true, it is no more beneficial than having the original earners spend their money.

Taxpayer A pays taxes, and $10 of that money is transferred to welfare recipient B. Whether B spends the $10 or A spends it, the immediate impact on the economy is the same.

However, if B also worked and spent his own $10, the combined impact would be $20. Additionally, taxing A to transfer money to B may reduce A’s spending. Therefore, there is no net benefit to the economy from transferring A’s money to B.

The deeper economic argument, often made by those with knowledge of economics but a bias toward socialism, is that poor people are more likely to spend the money they receive, while higher-income individuals tend to save their money, which supposedly does not benefit the economy.

This concept is known as the marginal propensity to consume (MPC), which is higher among the poor, and the marginal propensity to save (MPS), which is higher among those with higher incomes. In essence, people only save money in the bank once their basic needs are met. So, the logic goes that giving money to people whose basic needs have not been met yet increases immediate spending and consumption.

Another spurious argument is that welfare payments can stimulate economic activity through what economists call the “multiplier effect.” Recipients of welfare are likely to spend a significant portion of their payments on goods and services, injecting money into the economy and potentially leading to greater economic activity than if the money remained with higher-income individuals who might save a larger portion of their income.

According to a study by the Economic Policy Institute, every dollar of SNAP benefits generates about $1.70 in economic activity. However, this multiplier effect exists for any money spent in the economy. There is nothing unique about transfer payments that increases the multiplier. If A uses money earned from work to buy groceries, the grocer earns money, which he uses to buy stock, the supplier earns money, and so on. The money travels all the way down the supply chain, benefiting everyone.

The marginal propensity to save (MPS) indicates that a worker who has already met his needs is more likely to save additional income, whereas a welfare recipient will spend it.

Socialists and some U.S. policymakers use this fact to justify welfare, claiming that savers are taking money out of the economy. This argument is flawed because money saved in the bank increases the supply of loanable funds, decreases interest rates, and makes credit more readily available.

This encourages entrepreneurs to borrow, establish new businesses, or expand existing ones, which creates jobs and grows the economy. While consumption gives a short-term boost, investment fosters long-term growth, and investment is a function of savings.

The bottom line is that government transfers do not grow the economy. At best, they create a short-term illusion of growth while increasing government debt, which must be repaid with interest.

These transfers take money from earners and give it to nonearners, creating only a temporary economic boost. While workers are more likely to save additional income, these savings support real investment that grows the economy and increases wealth in the long term. Moreover, government transfers do not end poverty. The only way to end poverty is through increased earnings from better jobs. And jobs are more plentiful when businesses can borrow money, invest, and expand.

The Biden Gestapo Department of Justice (DOJ) is reportedly considering letting Boeing off the hook for its alleged criminal violations related to the fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019. This comes despite U.S. prosecutors’ recommendations that criminal charges be brought against the planemaker for violating a settlement agreement.

The DOJ is now set to decide by July 7 whether to prosecute Boeing or not, according to New York Times.

However, senior department officials appear to have already concluded that prosecuting the company would be too “legally risky.”

“Officials see the appointment of an independent watchdog as a quicker, more efficient way to ensure that the troubled company improves safety, manufacturing and quality control procedures,” the Times reported.

The DOJ’s potential decision not only undermines the rule of law but also sends a message to other corporations that they can evade justice if they are big enough and powerful enough.

This is an example of two-tier justice, where large corporations can manipulate the system while ordinary citizens, especially conservatives, are held to a different standard.

Boeing was previously shielded from a criminal charge of conspiracy to commit fraud arising from the fatal crashes under a 2021 agreement. The agreement stipulated that Boeing had to overhaul its compliance practices and submit regular reports.

In return, the DOJ agreed not to prosecute Boeing over allegations that it defrauded the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

However, this agreement was allegedly breached by Boeing, which failed to “design, implement, and enforce a compliance and ethics program” to prevent violations of U.S. fraud laws. Despite this, the Biden regime’s DOJ is considering offering another deferred prosecution agreement to Boeing.

The New York Times reported:

The Justice Department is considering allowing Boeing to avoid criminal prosecution for violating the terms of a 2021 settlement related to problems with the company’s 737 Max 8 model that led to two deadly plane crashes in 2018 and 2019, according to people familiar with the discussions.

The department has not made final decisions or ruled out bringing charges, or some other solution, the people said. But it is considering offering Boeing what is known as a deferred prosecution agreement, which is often used to impose monitoring and compliance obligations on businesses accused of financial crimes or corruption, as opposed to trying to convict the company.

The agreement, if it is offered, might stipulate that Boeing install a federal monitor to oversee safety improvements, according to the people familiar with the situation.

[…]

The government is expected to extend its settlement offer to Boeing before the end of the month. The terms are still subject to change.

A decision to forego criminal prosecution would be a win for Boeing and its customers, employees and shareholders, given that such a lawsuit has forced companies to file for bankruptcy in the past. That includes Arthur Andersen, a once storied U.S. accounting firm that collapsed after being federally convicted of obstruction of justice for its role in the 2001 Enron scandal. Its demise sent ripples through the financial system and serves as a reminder of the devastation a prosecution of Boeing could have on a company that is critical to the U.S. aviation industry.

If Boeing is convicted of a felony fraud, it could be restricted from receiving government contracts — including military ones — which make up a significant portion of its revenue. It would be another blow for a company that has been struggling with significant quality and safety issues, including an episode in January, when a panel on a Boeing 737 Max 9 jet operated by Alaska Airlines blew out midflight, exposing passengers to the outside air thousands of feet above ground.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the aviation giant Boeing is facing a growing number of whistleblowers coming forward with safety concerns following the recent deaths of two previous whistleblowers.

The whistleblowers have painted a troubling picture of Boeing, alleging the company prioritized profits over safety, ignored problems, and retaliated against employees who spoke up.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna introduced two immigration bills aimed at cracking down on fake migrant families crossing the southern border and significantly increasing penalties for employers hiring ineligible workers.

“Today, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13) introduced a legislative package that aims to combat child trafficking and the hiring of illegal migrants in our country,” Luna said in a press release Friday.

The first, termed the Family Reunification Act, mandates rapid DNA testing for all families detained at the U.S.-Mexico border. This measure seeks to verify familial relationships and prevent child trafficking, reinstating a policy previously enforced during the Trump administration but discontinued under Joe Biden.

“DNA rapid testing works, and it’s time to bring it back for every ‘family’ crossing the border. Until that happens, the U.S. government is complicit in trafficking. Under Joe Biden’s watch, over 85,000 children have gone missing. We need accountability,” Luna wrote on X.

According to the Washington Examiner, under Luna’s bill, if a child and adult are determined not to be related through DNA testing, the child would be separated from the adult for their protection while federal investigators probe why the child is being smuggled.

The second proposal, the Illegal Labor Accountability Act, aims to significantly increase the penalties for businesses that employ illegal immigrants, especially those involved in trafficking children for forced labor.

Luna’s focus on strengthening these regulations follows alarming revelations about child exploitation in the United States.

“Under the Biden administration, almost two and a half million people have crossed our borders illegally while claiming to be part of a family unit. Many of the children in these ‘family units’ are victims of trafficking and forced labor,” said Luna.

“We have greedy companies unlawfully hiring illegals, both adults and children, for cheap labor instead of hiring Americans. Not only are they exploiting these immigrants, but they are not being properly held accountable for it. We need to put an end to this.”

You can read the press release below:

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Tara Lee Rodas, a whistleblower who volunteered for the Joe Biden administration, testified that she discovered that “children are being trafficked through a sophisticated network that begins with recruiting in [their] home country, smuggling to the U.S. border, and ends when ORR delivers a child to a sponsor. Some sponsors are criminals and traffickers … some sponsors view children as commodities and assets to be used for earning income. This is why we are witnessing an explosion of labor trafficking.”

The Federal Human Trafficking Report estimated that in 2018, 51.6% of the human trafficking cases active in the United States were sex trafficking cases involving only children. In June 2023 alone, the Biden administration released more than 340 migrant kids to live with nonrelatives and from 2021 to 2023, Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services could not locate more than 85,000 children they had sent to live with sponsors. Last year, the Department of Labour investigated reports of migrant children who were being used to clean slaughterhouses. Furthermore, The New York Times spoke to over 100 migrant child workers who described their jobs as “grinding them into exhaustion” and that they had “become trapped in circumstances they never could have imagined.”

These examples show the exploitation of children in our country and how the Biden administration has actively contributed to making it worse. Congresswoman Luna will continue using all available resources to end these horrifying practices while shedding light on these issues.

The Family Reunification Act is co-sponsored by Representatives Jeff Duncan (SC-03), Josh Brecheen (OK-02), Andy Biggs (AZ-05), and Don Bacon (NE-02).

Tensions escalated into violence outside the Adas Torah synagogue in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon as pro-Hamas protesters clashed with Israel supporters.

Social media platforms are flooded with videos showcasing the violence from the pro-Hamas.

Former LA City Council candidate Sam Yebri took to social media to express his dismay over the incidents:

“Today is a dark stain in the history of Los Angeles. Violent extremists who proudly praise Hamas and Hezbollah marched outside an Orthodox synagogue in America’s most heavily Jewish neighborhood outside of New York – where my kids go to school, where my family worships where my family eat and shop – and brazenly terrorized Jewish Angelenos with impunity and without any consequence.”

Yebri went on to describe the harrowing scenes of violence that unfolded:

“These violent masked domestic terrorists bludgeoned Jews, vandalized synagogues, schools and stores, keyed cars, assaulted anyone who appeared Jewish blocked Jews from entering their synagogue, and chanted for the genocide of the Jewish people. These violent masked domestic terrorists are now dispersing into Jewish neighborhoods hunting Jews and causing more destruction and vandalism.”

Yebri also criticized local elected officials for their alleged lack of action:

“The worst part: these terrorists told us when and where they were coming. For a week, we pleaded with our elected leaders to speak up. Not one made a public statement condemning these extremists. We pleaded up with our elected leaders to protect us but LAPD told us these elected officials told LAPD to stand down and not intervene. Simply out, our elected officials are not keeping Jewish Angelenos safe.”

Yebri ended his statement by praising the community’s response:

“Fortunately, proud Jews and well-organized Jewish groups stepped up to prevent a mass casualty event and the total destruction of the Pico Robertson. This is not hyperbole or a political statement. This is a fact.”

The governor of the Hellhole State, Gavin Newsom, issued a statement condemning the actions of the pro-Hamas protestors following the clashes.

“The violent clashes outside the Adas Torah synagogue in Los Angeles are appalling. There is no excuse for targeting a house of worship. Such antisemitic hatred has no place in California,” Newsom wrote.

The single greatest criminal fraud perpetrated by the DOJ/FBI, in conjunction with their conspirators in the mainstream media and the Hillary Clinton campaign, was the creation, utilization, and submission of the Steele Dossier for unlawful surveillance purposes.

In June 2016, the Steele Dossier was commissioned by the Hillary Clinton campaign, using campaign dollars laundered through their law firm Perkins Coie. These funds were paid to Fusion GPS, which hired Christopher Steele—a former MI-6 operative—to create this fabricated dossier.

Steele was simultaneously an FBI informant on the government payroll and on the Democratic Party’s bankroll. At the time, no one outside of the DOJ/FBI cabal knew what the Steele Dossier was or that it was used in all four Trump-world FISAs.

In the beginning of 2017, then-Speaker of the House Paul Ryan commissioned his select committee on intelligence to investigate all Russia collusion claims—what became known as the Russia Gate investigation.

Through then-chairman Nunes, we reported directly to Ryan and required his office’s consent on all steps taken; that’s what it means to be a select committee of the Speaker.

After BuzzFeed leaked the Steele Dossier in January 2017, the mandates of our investigation expanded at the direction of Speaker Ryan- uncover the origins of the Steele Dossier: to determine its truth, who created it, and who funded it.

In early 2017, we discovered that almost the entirety of the Dossier was used in the FISA warrants. However, we were not allowed to disclose this information for almost a year because it was classified.

Our investigation ultimately discredited the Steele Dossier, leading the DOJ Inspector General to conclude there was no legal basis to submit it to the FISA Court, which later rescinded multiple unlawful FISA warrants against Trump-world.

Pursuant to our investigation, we collected thousands of pages of classified documents related to the Steele Dossier and conducted almost 70 interrogations under oath of anyone connected to it. We questioned everyone involved in the creation, dissemination, or funding of the Steele Dossier.

Shockingly, Speaker Paul Ryan, who oversaw the entire investigation, knew about the Steele Dossier the entire time but never disclosed this to the committee or the public. THE PRESS REPORTED IN DECEMBER 2018 THAT RYAN’S TOP ADVISOR AND LATER CHIEF OF STAFF JONATHAN BURKS, RYAN’S MAIN INTERLOCUTOR WITH THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE, GOT AN EARLY LOOK AT THE ENTIRE STEELE DOSSIER.

This revelation was forced into the open through resulting litigation in the United States and Great Britain after our Russia Gate main findings. When finally exposed, Paul Ryan’s spokesperson provided the ultimate DC deflection, “Burks has never met Christopher Steele nor received any document directly from him. However, he was aware of and had read the dossier prior to its publication.” WHAT. They launched a congressional select committee’s investigation into Russia Collusion based on a document they saw before it went public, then never told us about their connections to the smoking gun???

Had we known this information during our investigation, we would have placed Paul Ryan and his chief of staff under oath to answer the same questions posed to everyone else. Instead, Paul Ryan and his chief rigged the oversight investigation by withholding crucial information. How did the Speaker’s office become aware of the Steele Dossier? Who informed them? Why did they conceal this information from the committee they tasked with uncovering everything about the Steele Dossier and Russia Gate?

These unanswered questions remain because we were deprived of the opportunity to discover the full truth due to a lie orchestrated by Speaker Ryan and his staff. Think about it— we reported to Ryan/Burks literally every single week for over a year, in person. They knew every direction and turn of our investigation; they were the chain of command.

Every time I went to the Speaker’s office to get a subpoena authorized, every time we tried to force the DOJ/FBI to produce documents and witnesses, and every time we were blocked from access, Paul Ryan made the calls.

He and his team were complicit with the FBI/DOJ because they despised Trump. This corruption by Paul Ryan must not be forgotten. His actions undermined our democracy, obstructed justice, and allowed a fraud to permeate the highest levels of government.

Paul Ryan is the ultimate government gangster in this saga—just another senior government official caught in the rig who thinks there is an alternate justice system for him. I wonder if he discussed any of this with Rosenstein and Wray while they were busy illegally surveilling myself and other senior staffers who exposed Russia Gate. Too bad we never got the chance to ask him under oath.

Go ahead, ask me how I know…

Kash Patel was the chief investigator and senior counsel for the Russia Gate Investigation on the House Permanent Select Committee for Intelligence.

Caitlin Clark and Coach Christie Sides appeared to be arguing after the game.

Someone needs to send this video below to Indiana Fever Coach Christie Sides.

Sides has obviously never seen Caitlin Clark play basketball before she was drafted by the Fever.

And Sides likely has no idea who she has on her team—the greatest clutch shooter in women’s basketball history.



It is time that someone from the Fever front office notified Coach Sides that she has the greatest shooter in college basketball history playing on her squad!

Here are a few of the shooting records Caitlin Clark broke in the last year:

NCAA records

Most career points — Division I, men’s and women’s (3,951)
Most points in single season — Division I, women’s (1,234)
Most career 3-pointers — Division I, men’s and women’s (548)
Most 3-pointers in a single season — Division I, men’s and women’s (201)

NCAA Tournament records

Most career points — Division I, men’s or women’s (491)
Most career assists — Division I, men’s or women’s (152)
Most career 3-pointers — Division I, men’s or women’s (78)
Most points in single tournament — Division I, men’s or women’s (191)
Most 3-pointers in single tournament — Division I, men’s or women’s (32)

Coach Sides is obviously not aware of Clark’s shooting prowess.

Indiana Fever has the best shooter in the history of College Basketball in Caitlin Clark who is known for her clutchness.

Yet Christie Sides didn’t run one play for her in the last three minutes of this game.

So, instead of running an offense that centers around Caitlin Clark, Coach Sides runs an offense centered around Aliyah Boston, who shoots less than 50% on shots she takes that are mostly around the rim.

Coach Sides has cut Caitlin Clark’s field goal attempts of 18-20 per game during her college years, to 12 shots per game in the pros. Coach Sides wants Clark to be a playmaker instead.

Sunday afternoon, with seconds remaining in the game, Coach Christie Sides drew out a final play that involved getting Alijah Boston the ball at the free-throw line. Clark was told to pass to Boston.

Here’s how that went – Boston threw up a brick!

Christie Sides then took a shot at Caitlin Clark — saying Clark should have shot the ball — even after she drew up the last play for Boston!
WOW!

Christie Sides on CC’s shots: “I never want her to not be aggressive and take shots. I really thought when she went out in transition after that missed free throw… (down 1, 10 seconds left) she was gonna take it to the rim or pull up… would’ve been a great shot.”

The 1993 NVRA law (National Voter Registration Act) bars election officials from removing any voters from the rolls within 90 days of an election (see page 8 below). This is often referred to as the “90 Day Freeze”.

The Democrat-run DOJ Civil Rights Division (CRD) has used this part of the law relentlessly to defend dirty voter rolls and thwart any cleanup prior to elections.

Democrats support this law, knowing it allows fraudulent registrations to stay on the voter rolls.

The 1993 NVRA law (National Voter Registration Act) bars election officials from removing any voters from the rolls within 90 days of an election.

According to the NVRA, conservatives and Republicans have until Wednesday, August 7, 2024 for election departments to clean their voter rolls using bulk processes or methods.

It’s hard to believe jurisdictions can’t remove illegal voters using bulk methods inside this 90-day freeze and up until the November 6 election. They can’t match their voter roll database against Driver’s License records, against the USPS NCOA (National Change Of Address), against the Social Security Death Index, and more.

This has been challenged in court, but never to the Supreme Court. It’s time to change this law and fight it.

The Heritage Foundation explained back in 2014 the law is meant to freeze “regular maintenance activities” inside 90 days. This means no “general maintenance” or similar “programs” can be conducted to “systematically” remove ineligible voters. But officials can strike registrants from individualized information. For instance, a notice that someone has died, a voter requesting cancellation, or correcting a mistake, etc.

When this 1993 NVRA law was passed, voter registration was done entirely with paper forms completed by the applicant, often mailed to the jurisdiction. If info was missing or inaccurate, a letter was sent to the applicant. If no response, the registration was sidelined. This paper registration process was critical to the integrity of our elections. The Democrats knew this, and changed how we register voters in the country.

Arizona was first in 2002 to allow online VoteReg. Most States adopted it after 2010, which exactly coincides with efforts by leftist David Becker and the Pew Charitable Trust to adopt changes in the system. Their two-part “Voter Modernization Project” was pitched to all States in 2010-2012. It required they join the non-profit ERIC and most importantly, implement online VoteReg. This online access allows activist groups from anywhere to bulk submit registrations.

Some states and counties care less about the 90-day freeze and remove no one. They know the DOJ CRD will have their back if sued.

In 2022 the Texas Election Network, founded by Melissa Conway, filed affidavits challenging 6,000 registrations in Harris County, TX (Houston). Another 49 challenges came after Aug. 10t  2022 deadline for the freeze. Harris County didn’t remove a single one from their rolls.

Mike Hassinger, a spokesman for Brad Raffensperger, said federal law bars purges of voter registrations within 90 days. Those not eligible can only be removed on a case-by-case basis. This thinking allows corrupt election activists to flood our voter rolls up to election day, with no repercussions.

The Civil Rights Division of the DOJ is made up of 11 different sections that include Housing, Disability, and the Voting Rights Section. It is staffed entirely of people working on behalf of the DNC and left-wing activist groups. It’s rotten to the core, just watch this stunning interview with Maureen Riorden, the last Republican employee in the Voting Rights section, now retired.



Years ago, the DOJ CRD did not want the removal of 180,000 noncitizens from the FL voter rolls, so they sued Florida in 2012. Florida fought this case and won. But it was appealed by the DOJ. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, with a 3-judge panel, overturned that ruling in 2014. Two of these judges decided it was illegal to clean voter rolls within 90 days.

In 2014, Florida argued the “90 Day Provision” would not bar a state from investigating potential non-citizens and removing them on the basis of individualized information, even within the 90-day window.”

Florida won the case. But it was appealed by the DOJ. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, with a 3-judge panel, overturned that ruling in 2014. Two of these judges decided it was illegal to clean voter rolls within 90 days. True the Vote and Judicial Watch tried to join the case back in 2012, while the RNC did nothing.

Common sense would dictate we bulk clean our voter rolls as long as voter registration is open.

But that is not the case.

Republicans need to act now. We have less than two months to report the fraudulent registrations and demand their removal.

If Republicans want to see President Trump in the White House in January — now is the time to act!

Do not delay!  The clock is ticking!

Here is more on the topic from a previous post.

Republicans Must Confront the Democrats’ Fraudulent Voter Registration Manufacturing Operation and the Bloated Voter Rolls to Win in 2024

Without a doubt the key to the Democrat voter fraud is bloating voter rolls.

This was crystal clear when the Biden administration dispatched federal agencies to collect registrations.

And in February the Biden White House held a summit exclusively with far-left “voting rights groups” to execute plans to ‘register’ voters.

Democrat lawmakers and Joe Biden also fund suspect far-left groups that write up tens of thousands of voter registrations and turn them into county clerks in battleground states.

Guns, Burner Phones and Fake Registrations – The Buried Michigan Voter Fraud Scandal: GBI Strategies Director Gary Bell Had 70 Organizations Operating in 20 States in 2020 – TIED TO JOE BIDEN CAMPAIGN

Democrats also need these ballots mailed in so they can be completed and collected without scrutiny.

Once these ballots enter an election building or dropbox, it’s game over.

Again, it is safe to say the Democrat strategy is two-fold:

Bloat the voter rolls with millions of manufactured registrations
Mail in the ballots of the manufactured registrations

The suspect ballots are then basically ‘legitimate’ ballots that pass audits. Stopping fraud should focus much farther upstream.

The bottleneck for Democrat fraud appears to be getting the collected ballots back into the system, in bulk. This was made evident in 2000 Mules. Republican efforts should look at ways to prevent bulk ballot delivery. Because registration is now done almost entirely online, they face little vetting. Demanding registration vetting might be a longer term strategy. It must happen.

There are several groups today that can identify likely fraudulent registrations. Check My Vote and Omega4America are two such organizations. These groups are able to identify fraudulent voters and fraudulent locations on a much broader scale than the GOP. It is not clear to this website if the Republican Party even has this on their radar?  If we find out the GOP is concerned about this issue we will update this report.

Kuachua Brillion Xiong (Credit: State of Iowa)

A California man who was arrested in Iowa with a carload of weapons and a hit list naming several high-ranking U.S. officials—including Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Anthony Fauci—was sentenced to merely two years in federal prison and fined a nominal $100.

Kuachua Brillion Xiong was arrested in December 2021 after he was stopped by law enforcement in Cass County, Iowa, “for driving aggressively, weaving in and out of traffic, and speeding on Interstate 80 East.”

Upon investigation, authorities discovered an AR-15 rifle, ammunition, loaded magazines, body armor, and medical kits in his vehicle.

A Secret Service complaint revealed that Xiong had been driving from his home near Sacramento, California, since December 18 “with the intention of driving straight to the White House … to kill persons in power,” according to NBC.

“XIONG added that he would kill President Joseph Biden unless he promised to comply to XIONG’s demands. XIONG’s TikTok “hit list”, including approximately 100 videos, was observed by investigators within his personal cellular phone’s photo album,” according to a court document.

“XIONG provided investigators with a drawing of the White House grounds, including a perceived “weak spot” he identified during his pre-attack research, which he intended to exploit during his attack. XIONG planned on using his grappling hook to climb over the perimeter fencing before gaining access to the White House to kill those on his “hit list”.

Xiong was determined to “do whatever it takes” to assassinate ‘evil individuals’ on his hit list.

“XIONG stated that nothing would stop him from carrying out his plan of gaining access to the White House and killing the persons on his “hit list”. He added that if released from custody he would immediately resume traveling to the White House in Washington, DC and “do whatever it takes” to complete his plan. XIONG stated that he has no intention of returning to California to see his family because he plans on dying while fighting evil demons at the White House,” according to the court document.

Despite these chilling admissions, U.S. District Court Judge Rebecca Goodgame on Tuesday ordered Xiong to serve a surprisingly lenient sentence of two years in prison followed by three years of supervised release.

He was also required to contribute $100 to the Crime Victim’s Fund. Xiong pled guilty to one count of threats against Joe Biden and his successors.

In return, prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa dropped charges of attempting to kill or kidnap a government official, threats against a former president and their family, attempting to kill a member of Congress, and possessing a firearm in the commission of a violent crime, according to Law and Crime.

It’s hard to ignore the glaring discrepancy between this lenient punishment and the severe penalties handed down to peaceful protesters involved in the January 6 events.

McDonald’s at Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco (Screenshot: Google Street View)

The McDonald’s at Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco announced it will shut its doors permanently.

After serving the community for more than three decades, this fast-food staple cites the crushing combination of high operational costs and recent legislative changes as the primary reasons for its closure.

The franchisee owner, Scott Rodrick, confirmed the closure in a statement to ABC7’s Dion Lim.

According to Rodrick, the closure is due to two main reasons: an uncompromising landlord who refused to negotiate a “sensible” rent, and the sky-high property taxes and mall fees, which were reportedly the highest paid for any single location within the company.

Rodrick also pointed out that conducting business in California had become increasingly challenging, especially with the state’s new minimum wage for fast-food workers. He described this as a “gut-wrenching” day for his family.

The Stonestown Galleria McDonald’s is closing today after more than 30 years in business.

A notice posted on its door reads:

The fast food chain is the latest casualty of Bidenomics and Governor Newsom’s $20 minimum wage law.

Last week, one of Hollywood’s most iconic restaurants, Arby’s Roast Beef, closed after an impressive 55 years in business.

Gary Husch, Leviton’s son-in-law and the general manager of the establishment, echoed these sentiments. Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, Husch emphasized that the combined effects of inflation, the pandemic’s impact on foot traffic, and the draconian wage increase directly led to their difficult decision.

“With inflation, food costs have skyrocketed and the $20-an-hour minimum wage has been the final nail in the coffin,” Husch said.

In September, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) signed a law raising the minimum wage for fast-food workers to $20 per hour.

“Eighty percent of the workforce, these fast food places—80 percent of people of color, two thirds—are women, the majority are breadwinners and we have the opportunity to reward that contribution, reward that sacrifice and stabilize an industry in turn. What a remarkable moment,” Newsom said in September during the bill signing.

According to the California Business and Industrial Alliance (CABIA), thousands of restaurant workers have lost their positions as businesses are forced to cut labor costs and raise their prices in order to survive.

“Several major chains – including McDonald’s, Burger King, and even low-cost favorite In-N-Out Burger – jacked up prices to offset the higher wages. Many had to cut employee hours, and some have expedited a move to automation,” the New York Post reported.

The beloved restaurant chain Rubio’s Coastal Grill, announced that it would be closing 48 locations statewide due to the unaffordable costs of doing business.

Two major Pizza Hut operators in California will lay off all of their delivery drivers due to a new law raising the minimum wage to $20 per hour for fast food employees.

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) carved out an exemption for Panera Bread from the state’s new insane $20 minimum wage law because its billionaire CEO Greg Flynn donates to his political campaigns.
