Trump talks ‘bloodbath’ in auto industry if cheap Chinese EVs flood the market—Dems pretend he called for violence

My chance to use a new word: The mendacious and the unenlightened; The perfect makeup for what is the Democrat Party in 2024.

 Trump talks ‘bloodbath’ in auto industry if cheap Chinese EVs flood the market—Dems pretend he called for violence - Jack Hellner

"The media and other Democrats know that Joe Biden and his policies are unpopular, so for the last eight years, they’ve sought to destroy Donald Trump, no matter how much they have to intentionally lie and mislead the public, and this latest iteration is beyond absurd.

"While speaking at a recent campaign rally, Trump said there would be a “bloodbath” in the auto industry if China flooded the American market with cheap electric vehicles flowing through Mexico—but instead of showing the full quote, much of the media, along with Biden campaign workers and Democrats like Pelosi, decided that with polls as bad as they are, they should intentionally mislead the public that Trump had called for violence if he doesn’t win in November.

"Here’s this, from RedState:" . . .

"The fact that the media and the White House got together so quickly to intentionally mislead the public shows how coordinated the actions are. Most of the media are just campaign workers for Democrats to push their policies no matter how destructive and unpopular they are—and this is just the umpteenth example.

"Biden and others have repeatedly lied about what Trump said in Charlottesville seven years ago for the sole purpose of ginning up racial hate and division of Trump—this was the “very fine people” hoax.

"The media and other Democrats know that Trump instructed his supporters to march “peacefully and patriotically” to the Capitol, yet they mostly hide it from the public. They know that the FBI said what happened was not an insurrection on January 6th, yet they continually mislead the public and claim that it was. They know that the January 6th committee intentionally hid from the public Trump’s suggestion to bring 10,000 members of the guard to the Capitol, but they in turn hid this truth from the public. Obviously Trump did not want violence that day or he wouldn’t have requested the guard show up. Why didn’t Pelosi and others secure the Capitol?" . . .

Since the mainstream media falsely claims that Donald Trump warned of a "bloodbath" if he loses the 2024 election, I encourage you to listen to what he actually said and what he was referring to and draw your own conclusion: the automobile industry and the loss of jobs.

2024 Could Turn on Smell of Selective Prosecution from Georgia to New York

 The Odor of Mendacity: 2024 Could Turn on Smell of Selective Prosecution from Georgia to New York – JONATHAN TURLEY   . . ."Below is my column in the Hill on the recent decision in Georgia and the “odor of mendacity” rising out of various courtrooms across the country.  It is the smell of not just selective prosecution but political bias in our legal system. It is becoming harder to deny the existence of a two-track system of justice in the country as commentators and even a few courts raise concerns over the role of politics in prosecutions." . . .

Mendacity - Definition, Meaning & Synonyms | Vocabulary.com  Anyone in the habit of lying frequently has the characteristic of mendacity. People often accuse government officials of mendacity, or being less than honest. You're bound to get frustrated by the mendacity of your friend who's a pathological liar. Mendacity comes from the Latin root word mendacium, or "lie." Don't confuse mendacity with a similar-sounding word, audacity — which means "fearlessness, daring, or bravery."

Ethics complaints? Targeting law license? Troubles lie in wait for Georgia DA Fani Willis; WSJ    "Fani Willis is a lucky prosecutor, and Donald Trump is a lucky defendant to have her on his case. The Fulton County, Georgia, district attorney survived a judicial probe into her ethics on Friday, but in such a way that she has poisoned her own case. As the judge put it, “an odor of mendacity remains” around her actions.

"That was the ruling Friday by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who said the prosecution of Mr. Trump for trying to overturn Georgia’s election results can continue but either Ms. Willis or her romantic partner, prosecutor Nathan Wade, had to step aside from the case. The breakup is necessary to prevent the “appearance of impropriety” created by financial arrangements in their relationship. Mr. Wade resigned later on Friday.

"Judge McAfee said Mr. Trump’s legal team failed to clear the high bar of proving that Ms. Willis’s relationship with Mr. Wade (and the vacations he paid for) were an “actual” conflict of interest under Georgia law. Ms. Willis said she repaid Mr. Wade for her half of the trips. While that reimbursement practice may be “unusual,” the judge wrote, it is “not so incredible as to be inherently unbelievable.”

"But Judge McAfee was withering in his assessment of Ms. Willis’s conduct and her defense of it. The finding is “by no means an indication that the Court condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the District Attorney’s testimony,“ Judge McAfee writes. The record “highlights a significant appearance of impropriety that infects the current structure of the prosecution team.” . . .

Ethics complaints? Targeting law license? Troubles lie in wait for Georgia DA Fani Willis (msn.com)   . . ."Crucially, Judge Scott McAfee didn't actually conclude Willis had perjured herself, nor that she received a material financial benefit from hiring or dating Wade. However, he said reasonable people "could easily be left to wonder" whether Willis resumed a romantic relationship with Wade or was receiving financial benefits unless one of them stepped aside. Wade resigned later on Friday.

"The Georgia case alleges that Trump and 18 co-defendants — four of whom have taken plea deals — participated in a multi-pronged conspiracy to steal the 2020 presidential election.

"While Willis can still prosecute the case following the ruling, she may well face challenges to her law license at the State Bar of Georgia — even if experts don't expect those challenges to succeed based on existing evidence. She could also have to deal with other state regulators. Even before the decision, a conservative group asked the State Bar to open disciplinary proceedings against both Willis and Wade." . . .

Tyson Foods fires over 1,000 Americans, seeks to fill spots in new facilities with ‘asylum seekers’: report

 Tyson Foods laying off Americans with plans to hire tens of thousands of illegals -Olivia Murray

Tyson Foods is on a mission to fire American, and hire foreigner. Too bad this is another product I can’t walk away from, because I never bought it to begin with. 

. . ."(More than one-third of Tyson’s employees are “immigrants” and I have little confidence that even a majority of them are legal.)

Instead of American companies hiring third-world foreigners outside of the U.S., our politicians simply import those people here to take our jobs—before providing “free” room and board, “free” food, “free” health insurance, prepaid debit cards loaded with thousands of dollars, “free” public education, “free” college tuition, and many other “free” amenities. (It goes without saying, we are the ones paying for all of this.)

As Ohio’s J.D. Vance said:

‘All we know is that they are firing American workers and hiring illegal aliens to replace them. This is the entire point of illegal immigration — and Republicans, we’ve got to hammer this point home.’

At this point, I must remind you that Tyson’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer is an Ivy League grad, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and… a disciple of Klaus Schwab: John R. Tyson is an alumnus of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders project. The picture becomes a little clearer doesn’t it?" . . .

Bernie jumps the shark

 Mark C. Ross - American Thinker

"Being a street-corner commie from Brooklyn, Bernie is straight from Central Casting.  He’s got the accent, the laughable dogma, and the continuing pursuit of a nonsensical utopia that are all needed to play the part.  He is a wish that won’t ever come true"

"America’s most conspicuous political clown has finally overestimated the ignorance of his followers.

"I’ve always doubted Bernie’s ability to do arithmetic, but his appeal for cutting another day off the work week without reducing a worker’s pay goes well beyond a “normal” conceptual defect.  Stepping on his own screed, he also blamed the decline in workers’ purchasing power on inflation.  Really?  What causes inflation?  Oh, yeah...Bernie and his fellow demagogues in D.C. are doing it by borrowing and printing more paper money so it can be embezzled by their cronies.

"It is true that lefties have blinders on when dealing with numbers.  Years ago, I was visiting some lefty friends who both happened to have MBAs.  They strenuously advocated the four-day work week as a means to reduce unemployment.  I asked them if they would be willing to take a 20% cut in their pay in order to let this happen.  They looked at each other and blurted out, “Of course not!”  Hence the triumph of ideology over quantitative analysis.

"Time passes, and Bernie’s nonsense is losing its appeal.  Americans, especially, are very, very jealous of their standard of living.  Making it more expensive for businesses to produce goods and services makes life in general more expensive.  Commies like Bernie believe that businesses should be social instruments, with the elevation of the common person as their reason for existence.  Profit, to them, is a dirty word.

"Guess what, Bernie: employers are not in business for their health.

"Bernie’s entrance into the national spotlight marked the beginning of the Democrat party’s profound lurch to the left — this in spite of his remaining an independent Democratic Socialist and not actually a Democrat.  So what?  “The Squad” followed his lead while also remaining under the Democrat tent." . . .

What Will Biden Do When Israel Finally Invades Rafah?

 What Will Biden Do When Israel Finally Invades Rafah? – RedState

"As Israel intensifies its efforts to destroy Hamas, tensions between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Joe Biden are growing. Israel began discussing an invasion of Rafah, a city located in the southern area of the Gaza Strip, a few weeks ago. Netanyahu indicated earlier that another hostage/prisoner exchange could delay the planned incursion.

"Now the prime minister has given the green light for the invasion - but what will Joe Biden do? That's not clear at all, and that lack of clarity is a problem.

More than a month after first announcing Israel’s intended offensive in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has authorized plans for the incursion to take place, a spokesperson from the Prime Minister’s office confirmed on Friday. Though an exact time frame for the operation was not specified, it is said to include plans for the evacuation of the city’s civilians.

The announcement comes amid weeks of heightened concern among human rights organizations and world leaders alike about the impact that such an offensive would have on Rafah’s 1.4 million residents, many of whom were instructed to flee there at the onset of Israel’s ground invasion. 

"As Israel continues to defy Biden and other world leaders who wish to see Israel halt its pursuit of Hamas, there is speculation as to what could happen when the IDF attacks Rafah. Congressional Democrats have expressed frustration with Israel’s pushback against the president. Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said:

“Time and again, President Biden calls upon the Netanyahu government to take certain actions, and for the most part, time and again, Netanyahu ignores the president of the United States. And so I think that makes the United States look ineffective.”

"The lawmaker asserted that “to effectively enforce [Biden’s] warnings the administration has to use these other tools at its disposal,” which highlights a desire on the left for the White House to go harder in trying to compel Israel not to continue attacking Hamas, including conditioning U.S. military support and cutting off all military aid to Israel: . . ."

"Israel held its latest election for prime minister two years ago."

"ITEM 10: George Stephanopoulos tried to shame Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace for being raped when she was 16 and still supporting Trump.

Biden Attack on Netanyahu Causes Worst Crisis in History of U.S.-Israel Relations

Joel B. Pollak: (breitbart.com) 

The message to Israel’s enemies is clear: they are winning, despite Israel’s success against Hamas in Gaza thus war. The Biden Administration is rewarding Islamic terror, as well as the Iranian regime, apparently blind to the consequences.

Biting the Hand That Feeds You

 "President Joe Biden’s endorsement Friday of a call by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for Israel to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and hold new elections marks the worst crisis in the history of U.S.-Israel relations.

"Israel is currently fighting to defeat Hamas, which murdered 1,200 people in the October 7 terror attack. It is also under attack from Hezbollah in Lebanon, and has even faced missile attacks launched by Houthi rebels in Yemen.

"All of these groups are funded and armed by Iran, which views the United States as its enemy. Instead of backing Israel fully, Biden is not only criticizing Israel in increasingly strident terms, but demanding it remove its democratic leader.

"Biden is also slapping sanctions on Israelis who have not been convicted of any crime; this week, he also sanctioned two geographic areas under Israeli control in the West Bank. At the same time, he gave Iran a $10 billion sanctions waiver.

"Meanwhile, the Senate — at Schumer’s direction — is refusing to pass billions of dollars in military aid for Israel. And there are reports that the Biden administration is “slow-walking” deliveries of ammunition already promised to Israel.

"This is happening because Netanyahu — like most Israelis — rejects Biden’s plan to impose a Palestinian state after the war, which would reward Hamas for terror. Israelis also want to win the war — not to wait, and allow Hamas to survive.

"Biden is furious, and wants Netanyahu out of the way. So he, and Schumer, have sent a message to Israel: if you do not replace Netanyahu, you will not be receiving more money and more weapons. You will be on your own against terror.

"If Israel complies, and elects a new leader — should one be found who accepts Biden’s policies, which are rejected by the majority of Israelis — then Israel might receive aid and ammunition, but it would definitely fall short of its war goals. It would probably not be able to complete the defeat of Hamas in Rafah, and it would almost certainly be unable to secure northern Israel against Hezbollah. Israeli shipping through the Red Sea will remain impossible. Israel will lose the war." . . .

Netanyahu lectures the West: "Have you so quickly lost your moral consciences?"

“Days of Rage” Planned for Democratic Convention

  NoisyRoom.net

"The “Step Aside Joe” Movement, launched by the far-left group Roots Action, is demanding that Biden be replaced in part because of his lukewarm support for Israel’s response to the terrorism of October 7. Such a movement has a global context."

"Protests that are sure to turn violent are being planned by communist factions in the Democratic Party and worldwide to replace Joe Biden at the top of the ticket. Vice President Kamala Harris’s demand for a “ceasefire” between Israel and Hamas was clearly designed to save Biden from the gathering storm. In the speech, she condemned Israel for allowing a “humanitarian catastrophe” in Gaza.

"At the same time, Biden ordered the U.S. military to air-drop 38,000 meals to people on the ground in Hamas-controlled Gaza who had brought the terrorist group to power.

"Over the weekend, a Times Square pro-Hamas rally became a nightmare situation when protesters blocked a police Bomb Squad from responding to a potential bomb threat. The grenade was later determined to be inactive and inert.

"These demonstrations, as we have documented in a report with photographs, are largely organized by communist groups in America who pledge their allegiance to China and Russia.

Rashida Tlaib, Palestinian

"Biden’s initial support for Israel is coming back to haunt him, prompting talk even in left-wing circles of “Days of Rage” protests at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August that will seek his replacement by anti-Israel “progressives” aligned with Moscow and Havana.

"The violent “Days of Rage” protests in 1969 were the culmination of months of street actions and riots to protest support for anti-communist South Vietnam in its war with North Vietnam, backed by Russia and China. Under this kind of pressure, including riots during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968, incumbent Democratic President LBJ withdrew from the race, the Democratic Party splintered, and LBJ was replaced by Hubert Humphrey, a Senator who lost to Republican Richard Nixon in the general election.

"Senator Robert Kennedy had entered the race to challenge LBJ but was fatally shot for supporting Israel by a Palestinian Marxist, Sirhan Sirhan." . . .

Grumpy Old Man Mumbles State of the Union; Biden spoke with marbles in his mouth and read the teleprompter with an odd cadence.

  The American Spectator | USA News and Politics 

 He appeared angry and shouted as much as talked. He attempted to bait the right-leaning contingent to his left, demagogued on wealthy Americans, and attacked the captive audience of the Supreme Court.

 "Joe Biden, like Adolf Hitler and Axl Rose, arrived late. He entered the House of Representatives at 9:16 p.m. and began delivering his State of the Union nine minutes later. Unlike Christmas, it was not worth the wait.

"He addressed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine first and at great length. The invasion of America’s Southern border came later, precisely at 10:06 p.m. Citizens in McCallen, Texas, watching their city overrun, or in Roxbury, Massachusetts, seeing a local recreation center repurposed as a shelter for immigrants, did not enrich his family’s coffers as did the Ukrainian interests paying his son, after all.

" 'Freedom and democracy are under attack at home and overseas,” he said in juxtaposing the dual threats of Vladimir Putin with Donald Trump, who the president found, unlike Putin, so loathsome that he refused to say his name. President Biden called him “my predecessor” and “a former American president” and used pronouns. Republicans demanded he say murder victim Laken Riley’s name. He eventually did invoke “Lincoln Riley” — the head football coach at the University of Southern California — at heckler Marjorie Taylor Green’s instigation. But he never did say “Laken Riley” or “Donald Trump.”

"For different reasons he did the same with abortion. He referenced a woman in the audience who “had a fetus of a fatal condition,” whatever that meant, and needed to leave Texas “to get what she needed.” What she needed he did not say. He went on to euphemistically talk of abortion as the “treatment they need,” “reproductive freedom,” and the “right to choose.” Like the words “Donald Trump,” he could not say its name or accurately describe it. He instead characterized easier access to killing unborn children as a way to “stand up for families.”

"The president lashed out at “Big Landlords,” “Big Pharma,” and “Big Oil.” Left out of his tirade? Big Government. “I want to give public school teachers a raise,” “a future of paid leave,” “homecare and elder care,” “affordable high-speed internet for every American no matter where you live,” and “raise the federal minimum wage.” He spoke of “fiscally responsible ways” to pay for his wish list, including “making big corporations and the very wealthy finally begin to pay their fair share.” He would, presumably, determine what share amounted to fair.

“ 'My message to transgender America: I have your back,” he remarked in homage to diversity inspiring diverse interpretations. He name-dropped Native Americans. He highlighted African-American civil rights activists. It all sounded obligatory.

"The biggest lie of the night came from a woman who said nothing. Kamala Harris, whose office pursued almost 2,000 marijuana convictions when she served as district attorney in San Francisco, stood up and cheered Biden when he boasted of “expunging thousands of convictions for mere possession” of marijuana. One would need to expunge “thousands” just to undo what Harris did. A close second occurred when President Biden added the postscript, after pledging to ban assault weapons and impose other firearms restrictions, that “none of this violates the Second Amendment.”

"Biden displayed unusual energy and vigor early.  . . ."

A very specific cheat sheet reminds Biden how to act (nypost.com)   . . ."The prepared instructions for Biden — titled “Offshore Wind Drop-By Sequence of Events” — tell Biden to “enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello to participants.”

'Then, the paper says, “YOU take YOUR seat.”

'The typed-up note says that after reporters arrive, “YOU give brief comments (2 minutes).”

'When reporters depart, “YOU ask Liz Shuler, President, AFL-CIO, a question” and then “YOU thank participants” and “YOU depart.' ” 

"Biden’s use of staff notes at events has been embarrassing before, such as last July, when an aide scrawled, “Sir, there is something on your chin.” Biden also held that note so it faced reporters and photographers." . . .

‘The Abolition of Man’: How C.S. Lewis’ Prophecy Is Being Fulfilled

 Jeff Minick - Intellectual Takeout

"For years now, our culture has waged war over the question of what it means to be a man. To that battlefield, some online pundits have brought the heavy artillery of C.S. Lewis’s 1943 book, The Abolition of Man: “We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.' ”

. . ."Fast-forward to our day, in which we are conditioned daily to accept new ideologies, sometimes twisting language to bring them to life. Phrases like toxic masculinity, reproductive choice, white privilege, gay marriage, and cisgender vs. transgender—all concepts that ignore objective truth and the anchor of tradition—now abound. Conditioners in our culture, for example, have taken a phenomenon like transgenderism (once rare and, until recently, regarded as a mental illness), reworked it into an ideology, and encouraged more and more people to accept it as the norm, with deniers often suffering severe consequences.

"Other Conditioners are intent on convincing us to eat bugs rather than beef and to eradicate fossil fuels, all to save the planet from climate change, a measure which could leave countless people impoverished or dead of starvation. As Lewis told us, our Conditioners know how to produce and influence conscience, and they busy themselves day and night to that end." . . .

Quoting C.S. Lewis: "Traditional values are to be ‘debunked’ and mankind to be cut into some fresh shape. … The belief that we can invent ‘ideologies’ at pleasure, and the consequent treatment of mankind as mere … specimens … begins to affect our very language. Once we killed bad men; now we liquidate unsocial elements."

As I wrote on March 9, the Biden administration and many Democrats, are using the old Obama playbook of attacking Netanyahu because he refuses to capitulate to American political weakness in the face of vile Islamist butchers, Biden Admin, Like Obama Before It, Has Found An Enemy It’s Willing To Fight: Bibi Netanyahu:

. . ."It’s disgusting what he did. It’s pandering. It’s pandering to the anti-Israel Democratic base, the pro-Hamas vote in Michigan. It is the worst thing he could possibly have done because he’s trying to divide the Jewish community. He knows there’s in the American Jewish community, which is overwhelmingly liberal, he knows there’s some dislike for Netanyahu. And what he’s trying to do, he’s trying to separate Israel and Netanyahu, which has been Biden administration policy. I wrote about this about two weeks ago, that’s where they’re going to distinguish. ‘Well, we hate Netanyahu, but we love Israel.’ Well, they’re in the middle of a war, okay?

"And why do they hate Netanyahu so much right now? It’s because he’s refusing to capitulate to the American President and the American Secretary of State who want Hamas to survive. They do. You can’t read their actions any other way.

"Hamas now exists only in Rafa, four battalions by all counts, which is thousands of Hamas fighters. That’s where the leadership is. That’s where the hostages are. And all of American policy for the last two to three weeks, maybe month, has been to try to bully Israel into not finishing off Hamas. And now Chuck Schumer steps in and picks up that cudgel and he hits Netanyahu over the head. And why is he hitting net over the head? Is because he’s been too uncompromising.

"I think there’s going to be a huge, there is a huge backlash to this. I think what Schumer did is disgraceful. He’s trying to walk it back." . . .

Who’s who in Israel vs. Hamas? - American Thinker   "Jews have lived in Israel for more than three thousand years — obviously longer than Christians and Muslims, given that Judaism predates these other religions.  They have every right be there.  And unlike the Jew-hatred running rampant throughout the Middle East and well beyond, Israel's Muslim minority are citizens who can freely vote and have representation in the Knesset.  After all, Israel is a modern, Westernized democracy. 

"Israel's supporters and detractors must always be free to peacefully protest, express their views, and critique the opinions of others without fear of being fired or suspended from their jobs, persecuted, prosecuted, arrested, threatened, beaten up, harassed, censured, or censored.  After all, freedom means nothing if we don't find it within ourselves to tolerate commentary vehemently at odds with our strongly held beliefs." . . .

. . ."Hamas, by contrast, is a terrorist organization pursuing the genocide of the Jewish people.  It is on par with Hitler and the Nazis.  Finally, Hamas — not Israel — must be held accountable for the deaths of the innocent Palestinians it uses as human shields." . . .

Qatar Issues 'Stark Ultimatum' To Hamas Leaders, Threatening Expulsion, 'Terror Group' Responds (youtube.com)  "Qatar has set an ultimatum for senior Hamas leaders to negotiate a hostage deal or face expulsion. The US is pushing for a hostage deal before Ramadan, with Qatar playing a crucial role due to its aid to Gaza and hosting of Hamas leaders. Negotiations have stalled as neither Hamas nor Israel are willing to make concessions.Israel's Mossad accused Hamas of wanting to escalate tensions during Ramadan, undermining negotiations. The Paris proposal suggested a six-week ceasefire and an exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners."

Schumer’s anti-Netanyahu speech strengthens Bibi in Israel's war to defeat Hamas (msn.com)   "Having seen his lowest levels of support in months, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's popularity has gotten a bounce in the polls, which some say is partly due to the Biden administration and Democrats' growing criticism against the Jewish state.  

"Criticism grew this week from across the political spectrum after New York Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer’s speech calling for new elections.  

" 'As a lifelong supporter of Israel, it has become clear to me: The Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after Oct. 7," Schumer said Thursday on the floor of the Senate. "The world has changed, radically, since then, and the Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past.' " . . .

"The Gays For Gaza People Are Idiots" - Douglas Murray

"When it comes to "Queers for Palestine," what's richly ironic is that many LGBT Palestinians seek asylum in Israel—the same country these stateside protesters are rallying against."  Billy Binion  

The Contradictions of 'Queers for Palestine' (reason.com)   "The Israel-Hamas war has made political allies out of some unusual bedfellows. Yet the strangest pairing on display thus far is probably "Queers for Palestine," most notably because those protesters would risk summary execution should they take their demonstration to the Gaza Strip.

"The movement isn't new. But following the terrorist attacks launched against Israel by Hamas, the Palestinian group that controls Gaza, it has seen a sort of reemergence at various protests. "Queer rights! Trans rights!" protesters are heard chanting in a video taken in New York City. "We say no to genocide!"

"That protesters appear to be blaming Israel for those attacks—which have included, among other things, Hamas militants murdering people, filming those acts, and putting the videos on social media for the victims' families and friends to see—is perverse. But to marry that cause to LGBT rights is simply unhinged from reality." . . .

Biden to McDonald's: Fix Your Ice Cream Machines!

 Darrell Frost – PJ Media

"While crime plagues our cities and the illegal alien invasion continues, Joe Biden and his administration are focused on the real issues facing the country, like the size of a Snickers bar or a bag of chips.

"Now, he’s cracking down on another menace to our taste buds: McDonald’s oft-broken soft serve ice cream machines.

"Of course, given Biden’s well-known (and perhaps dementia-induced) penchant for ice cream, it’s hard to say this is surprising.

"As reported by The Verge, the Federal Trade Commision and the Department of Justice submitted a joint comment Thursday to the U.S. Copyright Office requesting an exemption to Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which imposes penalties for violating software copyrights. The exemption would allow McDonald’s franchise owners to repair broken soft serve ice cream machines themselves without waiting for service from a technician employed by the company that manufactures the machines, Illinois-based Taylor Commercial Foodservices.

"Citing another comment provided by the consumer rights advocacy group Public Knowledge and parts retailer iFixit, the FTC and DOJ note that broken soft serve machines cost around $625 a day in lost sales and that it can take up to 90 days for service from a licensed repair technician at a price of more than $300 per 15 minutes.
