California’s $20 Minimum Wage Forces 91-Year-Old Owner Shuts Down Iconic Hollywood Arby’s After 55 Years: ‘Final Nail in the Coffin’

One of Hollywood’s most iconic restaurants has shut its doors for good.

The Arby’s Roast Beef franchise closed on Saturday after an impressive 55 years in business, as reported by KTLA.

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

Marilyn Leviton, the 91-year-old sole owner of the franchise since its opening in 1969, cited a combination of devastating economic factors for the closure. Among them, California’s recent legislation that raised the minimum wage for fast food workers to an untenable $20 per hour proved too burdensome.

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.

Leviton revealed to KTLA 5 News that the franchise had been teetering on the brink of closure for years, due to Fauci’s lockdown, nearly forcing its shutdown, had it not been for federal loans that temporarily kept the business afloat.

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.

Restaurants across the state of California have cut more than 10,000 jobs since Democrat lawmakers mandated a $20 minimum wage, according to a major trade group.

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.

PANIC AT THE WHITE HOUSE: Top Aides to Biden Worry He Doesn’t Have a Serious Plan to Beat Trump

New reporting reveals that some aides close to Joe Biden are worried that he doesn’t have a serious plan to beat Trump.

This is obvious every time that Biden tries to speak. He has no plan to deal with the border, the consistent problem of inflation, or the growing number of conflicts on the world stage.

Biden clearly thinks that not being Trump will be enough to carry him across the finish line and people in his inner circle are afraid to breach this subject with him.

FOX News reports:

Top Biden aides worry over ‘scary’ situation of President not having a serious plan to beat Trump: report

Democratic strategists and advisers to President Biden are revealing concerns about the campaign’s direction and leadership with just months to go before the election in November.

A Democratic strategist who communicates with the Biden campaign said that he doesn’t know what plan Biden’s inner circle has to beat former President Trump — if any.

“It is unclear to many of us watching from the outside whether the president and his core team realize how dire the situation is right now, and whether they even have a plan to fix it,” the strategist told Axios. “That is scary.”

Some advisers feel pressure not to speak up in meetings, especially when in the presence of Biden’s most trusted and longest serving aides.

“Even for those close to the center, there is a hesitance to raise skepticism or doubt about the current path, for fear of being viewed as disloyal,” an anonymous official told the outlet.

More from Axios:

– People close to the president told Axios they worry about raising concerns in meetings because Biden’s group of longtime loyal aides can exile dissenters.

– “Even for those close to the center, there is a hesitance to raise skepticism or doubt about the current path, for fear of being viewed as disloyal,” a person in Biden’s orbit told Axios, speaking on condition of anonymity because of those dynamics.

– “There is not a discussion that a change of course is needed.”

One of Biden’s greatest weaknesses is that he believes he is doing a great job. And to make matters worse, the people around him are afraid to tell him otherwise.

MI Senator Goes OFF on Dirty Democrats After They Pass Bills Making It Impossible For Board of Canvassers To Investigate Election Fraud in Crooked State of MI [VIDEO]

Michigan Republican Senator Jim Runestad (R) is a true warrior for election integrity in the state of Michigan. Runestad and a handful of Republicans in the Michigan legislature have been ringing the alarm bells in Michigan, as they recognize the serious potential for mass voter fraud in future elections thanks to the passage of one radical election-related bill after another by Democrats since they gained majorities in the House and Senate in 2022 after 40 years of Republican control.

MI Senator Jim Runstead

On May 1, MI, Democrat Senators passed Senate Bills 603 and 604. Senator Runestad has been ringing the alarm bells ever since, warning that it would be a disaster for election integrity if these bills passed in the House. Yesterday, Senator Runestad went off on his Democrat opponents after the Democrat majority in the House rammed through legislation that will prevent the board of canvassers in Michigan from investigating voter fraud and strip them of subpoena power related to questionable or fraudulent elections.

The bills would require the board of canvassers to refer any allegations of fraud to the relevant county prosecutor rather than conducting a recount. In many cases, prosecutors in the state are highly partisan, and the fear is that the result may look the same as in 2020, where legitimate evidence of fraud was mocked and discounted.  According to the newly passed bills, only alleged errors could merit a recount, and only when the alleged errors could potentially change election results.

Senator Runestad condemned the actions of the radical Democrat lawmakers in Michigan in a tweet that read:

Today, the Michigan Senate Democrats overturned 70 years of election law in order to commit a disgusting gutting of our election recount protections. The passage of this bill is a complete disgrace!

The Senate Democrats concurred with the House version of a bill that guts our bi-partisan board of canvassers’ current ability to conduct fraud investigations. The bill also strips the board of subpoena power and only allows fraud” over to the hyper-partisan, Democrat Michigan Attorney General and the hyper-partisan Democrat them to “refer prosecutors in the Democrat-controlled cities where the fraud is most likely to occur.

If the Democrats vote to restart the session and make these changes effective before our elections this year, it could have national implications should Michigan require a recount.

Michigan voters should be outraged at the Democrats for passing this election corruption-enabling bill today!

MI Senator Jim Runestad (R)

Senator Runestad admonished the borderline Communist Democrat majority for passing these bills in a blistering rant:

“After 70 years of this bill, the Democrats have stripped out the ability of the Board of Canvassers to investigate fraud in a recount and to get subpoena power! And now, you referred off to these hyper-partisan individuals who will never prosecute this. This is an outrage that we have had this bill passed!”

Perhaps the Democrats don’t want to suffer another black eye like the humiliation of having a member of the general public threaten the life of Palmer, her teenage daughter, and her husband after a Democrat State lawmaker doxxed Ms. Palmer for refusing to vote to certify the 2020 Wayne Co. election.

In Michigan’s 2020 primary election, a whopping 72% of Detroit’s absentee voting precincts did not match the number of ballots that were cast. In the 2020 general election, 70% of the 134 absentee voting precincts were out of balance, which means 70% of the precincts didn’t match the number of recorded ballots that were cast.

In November 2020, Republican Monica Palmer, chair of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers and fellow Republican board member Bill Hartman refused to agree to vote “yes” to certify the election 2020 general election. Palmer and Hartman were bullied by other members of the Wayne Co. Board of Elections, and the general public was given the opportunity to publicly humiliate and verbally flog both of them from the comfort of their homes on a public Zoom call.

Former Wayne Co., MI Board of Canvassers members Bill Hartman (L) and Monica Palmer (2nd from left)

The stunning threat came from a newly elected Democrat State Rep. Abraham Aiyash.

MI Dem Rep. Abraham Aiyash

Democrat Michigan State Rep Abraham Aiyash delivered a chilling warning to Monica Palmer’s “kids” as he identified which high school Palmer’s daughter was attending on Twitter. He repeatedly named where Palmer lives and warned her that her daughter’s black classmates might not be very happy to find out about her mom’s decision not to certify the vote.

MICHIGAN.

Thanks to MI Democrat Rep. Aiyash, Katelyn Jones, a New Hampshire resident, and the rest of the world knew where Monica Palmer’s teenage daughter attended school and where Monica and her family lived.

Palmer’s refusal to certify the crooked 2020 election in Wayne County, and the subsequent doxxing of her family resulted in a death threat from a woman living in New Hampshire. The woman sent a bloody photo of the tortured corpse of a teenage girl with a warning to Monica: “I don’t tolerate people like you, in fact, I consider you to be a terrorist and do you know what happens to terrorist Monica???

Republican vice chair of the House Elections Committee MI Rep Rachelle Smit, who is also a former city clerk, had this to say about the passing of the radical bill that would force citizens to accept election outcomes, even those that are wrought with obvious fraud.

MI State nRep. Rachelle Smit

Rep. Smit, who was not happy about the passage of the radical bill, told The Center Square that it was a mistake to remove allegations of fraud as an allowable reason for recounts.

“Under current law, vote recounts may be done based on allegations of fraud or mistake, but the legislation voted on today not only removes fraud as a reason for a recount but also states that recount petitions may only allege an error and requires petitions to be based on the notion that the election results would have been different without that error.”

When asked about the passing of the bills by the Democrat majority today, Rep. Matt (Mad Dog) Maddock (R) told The Gateway Pundit: “Everyone knows the democrats rig elections, and now they will rule with absolute force to stop anyone from challenging them next time they cheat!”

Rep. Matt Maddock (R)

Maddock continued, “Democrats want to demoralize voters so they don’t vote, and these laws let them vote for you, and there is nothing you can say or do about it, so you better sit down and shut up.”

Maddock is a bulldog in the fight for the freedoms of Michigan citizens and has spoken out multiple times about the importance of election integrity. Democrats do not want to see the popular Maddock re-elected in November and will pull out every dirty trick in the book to stop him.

Study: Global Warming is Causing Cognitive Decline in Lunatic Politicians Causing Them to Lose Power to ‘Dangerous’ Populists

Noted junk scientist Al Gore blowing hot air

Boy, these lunatics sure have gall.

A new “study” at 50 Science found that global warming is affecting the language complexity of the lunatic left, which in turn results in populists winning elections.

Apparently, global warming is causing the cognitive performance of the lunatic left to decline.

Wow.

Via DiscloseTV:

NEW – Study finds rising temperatures due to climate change may reduce politicians’ speech complexity, empowering populist leaders who “manipulate their voters” and endanger democracy.https://t.co/07ABhvRkgc

— Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) June 19, 2024

The deranged left is known for their gaslighting and BS but they really outdid themselves here.

50 iScience reported:

Highlights

Heat has been associated with decreased productivity and cognitive performance
We find warmer temperatures to reduce language complexity of politicians
In Germany, we observe a larger effect of warm days on older politicians
Climate change could reduce the speech complexity and productivity of politicians

Summary

Climate change carries important effects on human wellbeing and performance, and increasingly research is documenting the negative impacts of out-of-comfort temperatures on workplace performance. In this study, we investigate the plausibly causal effect of extreme temperatures, i.e., out-of-comfort, on language complexity among politicians, leveraging a fixed effects strategy. We analyze language complexity in over seven million parliamentary speeches across eight countries, connecting them with precise daily meteorological information. We find hot days reduce politicians’ language complexity, but not cold days. Focusing on one country, we explore marginal effects by age and gender, suggesting high temperatures significantly impact older politicians at lower thresholds. The findings propose that political rhetoric is not only driven by political circumstances and strategic concerns but also by physiological responses to external environmental factors. Overall, the study holds important implications on how climate change could affect human cognitive performance and the quality of political discourse.

More than anything, this study proves the left will stop at nothing to gain power over the people.

Fake News CBS ROASTED For Deleting Video of Joe Biden Wandering Off at G7, Lecturing Public on “Cheap Fakes”

This is beyond pathetic.

Fake News CBS got right in line and deleted a video of Joe Biden wandering off at the G7 Summit during a skydiving demonstration and reposting it with a ‘proper label.’

The Biden Camp and their stenographers in the media are in full-blown panic mode after a video of Biden wandering away from the G7 group went viral.

The Democrat-media complex is going into full damage control to protect Joe Biden.

The left-wing media claimed conservative media sites shared a viral clip of Biden without context.

The White House immediately came out and absurdly called the video of Biden meandering at G7 a “cheap fake” – this new label is a play on “deepfake” – a term to describe AI-generated content.

The longer video clip of doddering Joe is even more horrifying.

Everyone freaking out about that Biden clip at G7.

The stenographers at CBS lectured the public: Don’t believe your lying eyes!

“Misleading video clips of President Biden watching a skydiving demonstration at the G7 summit in Italy went viral last week, prompting the White House to say Biden is victim to a simpler version of “deepfakes.” So, what are “cheap fakes”?” fake news CBS said.

CBS dragged out their “executive editor” to sound the alarm on “cheap fake” videos of Joe Biden that are making the rounds on social media.

Cheap fake = videos of Joe Biden that prove he is suffering cognitive decline.

‘I Will Endeavor to Stay Alive’: Elon Musk Reveals There Were Two Failed Assassination Attempts Against Him

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has revealed that there have been two failed assassination plots against him in the past year alone.

During a question-and-answer session at Tesla’s annual shareholder meeting last week, Musk confirmed that two “homicidal maniacs” have targeted him and other high-profile individuals.

“In the context of being a shareholder, unlocking these values of optimists, we need you, and just, with all the global uncertainty, you’re so high-profile that I just want to make sure you’re doing everything to take care of yourself,” one attendee asked Musk.

“It is getting a little crazy these days,” Musk responded. “You know, like, to first approximation, the probability that a homicidal maniac will try to kill you is proportional to how many homicidal maniacs hear your name. They hear my name a lot, and I’m like, OK, I’m on the list.”

“We [Tesla] actually did have two homicidal maniacs in the last roughly seven months, come to aspirationally try to kill me and a bunch of other people, so it’s not just me, and there wasn’t an actual issue that they articulated — they were just, you know, in the homicidal maniac career.”

“I will endeavor to stay alive,” he added.

As well as his efforts to push humanity forward with regard to energy production, automobiles, space travel, healthcare, travel and various other industries, Musk has become a persona non grata among liberal America and the fake news media for his growing sympathies to the conservative movement.

Since buying Twitter in November 2022, Musk has not only helped restore free speech on one of the world’s most important social media platforms, but he has also raised awareness on issues such as election fraud, vaccine safety, illegal immigration and internet censorship.

As the wealthiest man in the world with a following approaching 200 million people on the X platform alone, his importance to preserving our freedoms cannot be understated.

Stay safe, Elon.

Mom of 4 Found Hanged, Police Now Suspect a Staged Suicide After Strange Clue Emerges

Authorities believe a woman found hanging dead may be the victim of a staged suicide after disturbing clues were pieced together.

When neighbors discovered the body of 30-year-old Giselle Salazar-Tapia, mother of four, it was hanging from a dock at Texas’ League City Wharf Marina where she lived on a boat with her boyfriend.

The League City Police Department announced the find on May 31 through its Facebook page, revealing the first clue that something was not right with the scene.

Police called to the scene found Salazar-Tapia “lifeless” and hanging by a rope from the dock.

“Officers and detectives conducting the death investigation began speaking with the victim’s friends and residents in the area,” the department’s post reads. “A man who was possibly the victim’s boyfriend, became very distraught and would not come out of his boat.”

Authorities were eventually able to talk the man, James Hart, off the boat.

The suspicious evidence only continues to grow from there, including a strange find that now appears to be a critically important clue.

According to KTRK, when Salazar-Tapia was found, her arm was fixed in a rigid position suspended in the air. Lt. Eric Cox of the LCPD explained what may have caused it.

“We believe she probably passed away with her arm extended up above her head like that,” Cox said, “and then rigor mortis had set in prior to her being placed like that.”

Hart maintains his innocence in the matter.

According to Hart, his girlfriend left the boat sometime after midnight to go to the bathroom and never returned. Hart says he checked the bathrooms when Salazar-Tapia didn’t return but failed to find her.

Two cameras on Hart’s boat were found down after apparent tampering. One had been turned away from his boat while the other was completely missing.

Police have identified two persons of interest in the suspicious death.

Authorities have interviewed both people, saying they had the “closest interaction” with Salazar-Tapia while she lived at the dock.

Investigators are also combing through nearly 2,000 surveillance videos that may shed light on the exact circumstanced of her death.

A GoFundMe is open for donations to cover Salazar-Tapia’s funeral and provide for the children that were left behind.

Birth of Rare White Bison Calf in Yellowstone Fulfills Native American Prophecy

A Native American prophecy was fulfilled when a rare white bison calf was born in Yellowstone National Park.

Photographer Erin Braaten was the first to capture a photo of the rare bison and discovered the white bison near the Lamar Valley section of Yellowstone.

According to the Lakota tribe, the birth of the white bison signifies a time of prosperity is near.

Chief Arvol Looking Horse, the Lakota spiritual leader, told the Associated Press, “The birth of this calf is both a blessing and warning. We must do more.”

Looking Horse later claimed, “The birth of a white buffalo calf with a black nose, eyes, and hooves is akin to the second coming of Jesus Christ,” a statement most Christians will refute.

RARE BIRTH! A white buffalo calf was reportedly born on June 4 at Yellowstone National Park.

A Lakota prophecy says that the birth of a white calf signals better times. But a tribal leader also says it means more must be done to protect the Earth. https://t.co/fFcHI0jRQ8 pic.twitter.com/iusJYptzhR

— ABC7 Eyewitness News (@ABC7) June 13, 2024

Per Fox Weather:

The birth of a rare white bison calf in Yellowstone National Park could be a sign of better times ahead, according to a Native American tribal prophecy.

Montana photographer Erin Braaten captured the unusual offspring by chance on June 4 in the Lamar Valley of the national park, she told FOX Television Stations.

“At first glance, I thought it might be a coyote,” Braaten told FOX. “There were bison crossing the river and the road, so we were stuck in traffic for a few minutes so I decided to look at the ‘coyote’ through my camera and discovered that it wasn’t a coyote but a white bison calf.”

According to Yellowstone’s Bison Management program, many North American tribal cultures are intertwined with bison. Many American tribes view bison as the most sacred being on Earth.

For the Lakota people, the birth of a true white buffalo calf is similar to the second coming of Jesus Christ, Chief Arvol Looking Horse told The Associated Press.

According to a Lakota legend, about 2,000 years ago, when times were hard and food was scarce, a White Buffalo Calf Woman presented the Lakota tribe with a bowl pipe and taught the tribe how to pray.

The White Buffalo Calf Woman then told the tribe the pipe could be used to bring buffalo to the area so the tribe could eat.

Tom Homan and Border911 SELL OUT in Chicago! Behind Enemy Lines Latest Event a Huge Success

Guest post by Paul Drabik from Chicago

Last Wednesday June 12th, Behind Enemy Lines podcast hosts Terry Newsome and Paul Drabik held another sold out event for a major force in the patriot movement. Former Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Tom Homan, and his non-profit Border911 were welcomed to Chicago. Homan brought an experienced group including a former border patrol chief, former DEA agent, a couple of former Texas law enforcement officials, and a seasoned journalist. 

WATCH THE EVENT BELOW.

On the heels of a massively successful sold out March event held for Mike Lindell, Behind Enemy Lines hosted Border911 to a packed room on the southwest side of Chicago. It was the first stop on a 10 city tour for Border911. Deep in the heart of a traditional Democrat stronghold, members of  minority communities gathered to hear about the most pressing issue of our time. Border security and immigration were the main topics of the night. Speakers from Chicago’s African American and Latino community joined in the discussion. Community leaders spoke about their frustrations and the willingness to collaborate with grassroots to take back Illinois from a corrupt political establishment. 

Border911 has made it their mission to travel the country and inform citizens about the dangers of an open border and what common sense immigration policy should look like. Chicago was a fitting place to start their tour as the illegal immigration population has become a palpable and transparent issue among members of all backgrounds. A majority of the migrants  are being housed in facilities across the city. In May, Gateway Pundit and Behind Enemy Lines reported on the apparent lawlessness and chaos taking place in these facilities. Through FOIA requests, violent crimes such as sexual assault, child abuse, robbery, and battery were rampant. Shockingly there was evidence of human trafficking recovered on a phone of one of the migrants.

Members of Border911 brought a unique perspective to the many in attendance. Rodney Scott, a former Border Patrol Chief, informed the crowd of the approximate 47,000 Chinese who have crossed the border in 2024 alone. Many of these Chinese have been military age men. Scott put things in perspective by noting that during his tenure he never saw more than 1,500 cross the border in a given year.

Another interesting perspective was that of Victor Avila. Avila, a former federal agent for Homeland Security and ICE, spoke about the serious problem of human smuggling. Most are familiar with the concept of human trafficking. Human smuggling, as Avila describes, involved people paying and/or working off a debt to the cartels in order to gain assistance in crossing the border. This operation continues on into the migrant’s residence within the country. Migrants will be monitored and controlled by Cartel operatives in cities across America often trafficking, transporting, and selling dangerous drugs such as fentanyl.

Sarah Carter, a well known journalist and frequent contributor to Fox News, spoke about her experience covering the crisis. She spoke to the fact that this problem went back to her early days in California as she witnessed children being recruited by the cartel gangs in major cities. She warned of these cartels targeting Chicago children.

The Border911 team also welcomed minority community leaders to come up for a discussion about how the illegal immigration issue is impacting their communities. Dr. Shando Valdez spoke of the divisiveness amongst the Latino community that is brought about by the massive influx of illegals taking up valuable resources. Latasha Fields, a homeschool advocate fighting back against government encroachment on the family, spoke about the specific impact of the monopolization of resources that hinders the development of children especially in the African American community. Pastor David Lowery expounded on that message and spoke about the necessity to address the issues already plaguing the minority communities of Chicago. Devin Jones, a Navy Veteran and 18th ward Republican Precinct Committeeman recently opened the first African American led GOP office on the southside of Chicago. He spoke to the specific policy issues brought on by Chicago’s sanctuary city status and how it impacted, not only the community, but the political perspective of his constituents. Jones perhaps echoed the sentiments of many Chicago minorities when he declared, “I don’t care where you came from, if you are here illegally you have to go back home.”

Tom Homan brought a human element perspective to the conversation. With over 30 years experience serving the country and its border protection Homan spoke with a focused anger about the price our brave men and women pay for an open border. Homan detailed the look in the eyes of victims of human trafficking and child sex abuse. Homan’s passion came through as he described the toll it takes on someone as they endure the day to day responsibilities of a border patrol agent. Finally, during the question and answer phase he was asked about the reality of a mass deportation. Fittingly, Homan commented on a potential deportation operation saying, “There has to be a historic deportation operation or none of this makes sense. That’s what the law requires.” If the American people can see to it that we elect a candidate who will bring back a patriot like Homan, perhaps there is hope yet to save the country.
