Coming up: a hard look at the Fast Food workers pay raises

Prediction: Here’s How the Price of Your Favorite Fast Food Would Change With a $15 Minimum Wage

The Daily Signal    "Thousands of fast-food workers across 150 cities nationwide gathered today to call for a $15-an-hour minimum wage.

"However, a report released today by James Sherk, senior policy analyst in labor economics at The Heritage Foundation, found that fast-food restaurants would have to boost their prices 38 percent to make up for the increased labor costs.

"Higher Fast-Food Wages: Higher Fast-Food Prices"

"Such an increase, Sherk said, would drive away about one-third of these restaurants’ customers.
If fast food’s biggest restaurants decide to raise their wages to $15 an hour, here’s how some of your favorite meals would fare."

 

Debbie B***********-Schultz Foams at the Mouth

DWS: Scott Walker's Record is Equivalent to Physically Abusing Women   ... " Kleefisch said she was "shocked" that Wasserman Schultz used domestic violence language to discuss political disagreements. "I think the remarks were absolutely hideous and the motive behind them was despicable," Kleefisch said. Kleefisch called on Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke to "denounce these outrageous statements" made by the DNC leader."

Independent Sentinel  "Debbie Blabbermouth-Schultz compared Governor Scott Walker to a violent woman abuser on Wednesday.

"Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) decided the way to rally women against Governor Scott Walker (R-WI), who is running for reelection, was to use outrageous hyperbole making him into a Neanderthal.

“ 'Scott Walker has given women the back of his hand,” the dipsy Dem said in Milwaukee. “I know that is stark. I know that is direct. I know that is reality.”

"It’s also not true.

"The Journal-Sentinel quoted her as also saying that “what Republican tea party extremists like Scott Walker are doing is they are grabbing us by the hair and pulling us back.”

"When I heard it I personally had visions in my head of the French underworld’s Apache dance where the man mock slaps, punches, drags the woman around by the hair."

 

"Press secretary for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke, Stephanie Wilson, hinted that Schultz might have gone too far.

“ 'That’s not the type of language that Mary Burke would use, or has used, to point out the clear differences in this contest,” Wilson said.

"Wilson added, “There is plenty that she and Governor Walker disagree on — but those disagreements can and should be pointed out respectfully.' ”  Full article...

Fits the Democrat pattern.  And Exhibit B

Two Obamas: the one adoring crowds smile and clap for and the one our enemies.... well, smile and clap for.

From the UK: Without American leadership, freedom is in peril   ... "Contrary to Leftist caricature, America is a very reluctant colonialist. It does not like to superintend the situations its military leaves behind. And this president is particularly averse to accepting global responsibilities. So we find ourselves in a world so many people said they wanted: without American leadership or Western moral boundaries. What are the odds on the survival of freedom and the protection of innocent civilians? "

Power Line; On the third try, Obama still flubs it on ISIS    "You can’t defeat an army or a would-be state by taking out its leaders. Why does Obama profess otherwise? Because he’s unwilling to commit to the forms of action everyone understands are required to defeat a well-trained, well-financed army that possesses all manner of sophisticated weapons, usually in large quantities."

 

Investors.com; Obama's IS Strategy, Decoded   "So IS is, in fact, no big deal after all.

"Sure, this isn't as pithy as "pay any price, bear any burden," or "tear down this wall."
But to say Obama hasn't thought his plan through to handle IS is a disservice to someone who historian Michael Beschloss has declared to be "probably the smartest guy ever to become president.' "   It depends on what the meaning of ISIS is.

Columnist: ISIS Is Bush's Fault, But GOP Trying to 'Yoke Obama With' It   "On August 31, The New York Times ran a op-ed in which columnist Charles M. Blow contended that Republicans are trying to use the 9/11 attacks to make Americans fear ISIS and "yoke Obama with the ill effects of a war started by [George W. Bush]."

"One immediate problem with this theory is that ISIS--now IS--is not an ill effect of the Iraqi War but of the power vacuum created by President Obama's precipitous withdrawal of all U.S. Troops in 2011." ...

Don't Worry Joe Biden, We'll Remember You!

Ken Blackwell  ..."As Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Biden learned that you had to look beyond moral turpitude to judicial philosophy. That was the starting gun for the bull- and bear-beating contests that Senate judicial confirmations have become. If you’re disgusted by such ugly sessions, called “grilling” by the media, you can thank Joe Biden. No, we won’t forget his unique contribution to trashing American public life.

"Of course, Joe Biden himself has never been subjected to a grilling.
When he ran for President the first time, in 1987, he was discovered in that pre-Google era to have plagiarized word-for-word the powerful stump speech of Britain’s Labour Party leader, Neil Kinnock. (See the video below) No one who had done such a thing would ever get through the front door of the Judiciary Committee, so let’s not forget about Joe Biden.

"One other thing we should all remember. Joe Biden sat in the Senate from 1973 to 2009. In those thirty-six years, not one of his fellow Democrats ever suggested making him their Majority Leader. They didn’t forget Joe Biden, either!"

 Only a liberal could fail to be shamed out of office after this.
