Spokesman for Manhattan US Attorney Spills the Beans

 Religio-Political Talk (RPT) (religiopoliticaltalk.com)  Here is the NEW YORK POST’s story:

Video here or Here

A top Department of Justice spokesman in New York was caught on a hidden camera ripping Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his recent prosecution of former President Donald Trump — accusing Bragg of conducting “lawfare” just to further his own political ambitions.

Nicholas Biase, chief spokesman for the Manhattan US Attorney’s Office, was secretly recorded tearing into the progressive prosecutor during a recent conversation with a so-called undercover operative from conservative podcaster Steven Crowder’s “Mug Club.”

“Honestly, I think the case is nonsense,” Biase was filmed saying to an unidentified woman on July 31 at what appears to be a bar. …

CNN NOTES:

  • A spokesman for the Manhattan US Attorney’s office apologized following the release of a secretly recorded video that captured him slamming Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s hush money case against Donald Trump as “nonsense” and a “perversion of justice.”

— they go on to say Steven Crowder has violated YouTube policies in the past… LOL… as if that undermines the above. *SMH*

New Study Shows California Lost Thousands Of Fast Food Jobs After New Minimum Wage Law Went Into Effect

 Steve Straub - TFPP Wire

As with Harris and Biden, these people have never had to meet a payroll or run a business, so this is what we get. TD


"California’s fast-food industry is feeling the effects of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new $20 minimum wage law, with a reported net loss of over 5,400 jobs since January, according to a new report from the California Globe. While Newsom insists this wage hike is “modest” and manageable, critics argue it is crippling the fast food sector. The impact has already been felt in layoffs, restaurant closures, and reductions in staff hours. Despite the negative press, Newsom remains firm, even dismissing job loss claims as media-driven exaggerations.

Key Facts:

– California’s fast-food industry has lost over 5,400 jobs since the wage hike took effect.
– The minimum wage increase, mandated by Assembly Bill 1228, represents a 25% raise to $20 per hour.
– Neighboring states, such as Nevada and Oregon, have seen job gains in fast food during the same period.
– 74% of California fast-food restaurant owners reported a higher likelihood of closing their businesses.
– Many fast-food chains have resorted to layoffs and price hikes to cope with the new labor costs.

The Rest of The Story:

"California’s fast-food industry has been struggling since the state implemented a mandatory $20 per hour minimum wage in early 2024, spurred by Assembly Bill 1228. The law, which represents a 25% wage hike, was initially heralded by Gov. Newsom as a necessary step to support low-income workers. However, the consequences have been severe, with over 5,400 fast-food jobs lost since the law took effect. Businesses have been quick to respond with layoffs, store closures, and reduced employee hours.

"Rebekah Paxton, the research director at the Employment Policies Institute, explained that California’s fast-food job losses stand in stark contrast to neighboring states like Nevada and Oregon, where fast-food jobs have continued to grow. She also highlighted that this is the worst job growth rate in the industry since the Great Recession.

"In the months following the wage hike, some businesses have had no choice but to shut down. Pizza Hut alone laid off over 1,200 drivers and shifted deliveries to third-party services such as DoorDash and Uber Eats. Even Rubio’s Coastal Grill, a beloved Mexican food chain, shuttered 48 stores across California due to rising operational costs, including wages." . . .

UPDATED! Caught Red-Handed? DOJ Reveals Assassin's Apology Letter for Not Killing Trump Was Written Months Before Attempt! (Photos)

 "Dear World"?

George Rowe - USA SUPREME

. . ." 'The letter, addressed to the world, reads as if Routh already knew he would fail in his mission.

"The letter states in part:

“ 'Dear World, This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, but I am so sorry I failed you. I tried my best and gave all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job. And I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job. Everyone across the globe from the youngest to the oldest knows that Trump is unfit to be anything, much less US president…”

"Here is a photo of the letter that was allegedly written by Routh months before the attempted assassination." . . .


"This pre-written apology letter, supposedly penned months before the attempt, raises serious questions. How did Routh know he would fail in his attempt to assassinate Trump long before the event took place? What role did this mysterious letter play in the unfolding plot?

"Adding to the bizarre circumstances, the DOJ revealed that Routh had previously been obsessively fixated on Ukraine, giving interviews in which he expressed a willingness to die for their cause.

"Here is the important section from page 7 of the DOJ report that makes no sense.:" . . .

WATCH: 'Who's Next?!': Biden Snaps at World Leaders, Forgets to Introduce India's PM Modi

"President Joe Biden became confused at his final Australia-India-Japan-U.S. diplomatic press event, shouting, “Who’s next?!” at the crowd full of reporters and foreign officials before realizing that he was supposed to introduce the Indian prime minister.

"The event for the four countries’ alliance, known as the Quad Summit, took place at Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware, home on Saturday, according to the New York Post.  

“ 'I want to thank you all for being here,” Biden told the audience. “And now, uh, who am I introducing next?”

"A few seconds passed as Biden stared forward in confusion.

“ 'Who’s next?” he shouted, which was followed by another uncomfortably long period of awkward silence. 

"Finally, an announcer’s voice cuts over the speaker and introduces Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the stage: . . .

The EV Graveyard

Issues & Insights  

"We also venture to say that a significant number in this country disfavor EVs because they don’t want to be seen as virtue signalers putting their green cred on display. They see the shallow exhibitions of eco-activism every day and they don’t want to be lumped into that crowd." (Emphasis mine. TD)


"Last week, the House approved a resolution to block the Biden administration’s emissions rule that would require more than half of the automobiles sold in the new-car market to be electric by 2032. The 215 representatives who voted for the bill, including eight Democrats, are far more in tune with most of the country than the White House. The “deplorables” and “bitter” clingers of the industrialized world are rejecting electric vehicles.

"Nationwide, the inventory of unsold EVs had grown by nearly 350% over the first half of 2024, creating “a 92-day supply — roughly three months’ worth of EVs, and nearly twice the industry average,” says Axios, which is 54 days for gasoline-powered vehicles.

"Ford, which lost nearly $73,000 on each EV it sold in the second quarter of 2023, continues to yield to reality, now ditching its plans to build a large electric SUV. This “course change,” says Just the News, “comes amid lower-than-expected demand for electric vehicles.”

"The company has also “pushed back to 2027” plans for “another electric vehicle project for a pickup truck.”

“ 'Based on where the market is and where the customer is, we will pivot and adjust and make those tough decisions,” said John Lawler, Ford’s chief financial officer.

"And here’s the market’s message:

“ 'Of the U.S. consumers planning on purchasing a new vehicle in the next 24 months, only 34% intend to purchase an EV, down 14% from 48% in the 2023,” says Ernst & Young’s Mobility Consumer Index, “a global survey of almost 20,000 consumers from 28 countries.”

"The story is much the same in Britain. EVs “are losing value at an ‘unsustainable’ rate as a slowdown in consumer demand sends used car prices tumbling,” the Telegraph reported last week. Meanwhile in France, “the EU’s second largest market for battery electric vehicles behind Germany,” deliveries have fallen by a third." . . .

The American blueprint for failed negotiations in the Middle East

 CarolineGlick.com  "The White House is pressuring Israel to throw in the towel, but will Prime Minister Netanyahu give in to the unprecedented pressure?

"While it may seem that America is trying to protect Israel from an attack by Iran and its proxies, the truth is that the Biden administration is also containing Israel and preventing a victory.

"I discuss the U.S.’s game plan and how explains the difference between Donald Trump’s foreign policy and the foreign policy we’ll experience if Kamala Harris is elected.

"Don’t miss all the details on “In-Focus”!"

Dan Bongino Sounds Alarm: 'Trump Is Being Hunted!'

 


Jason Walsh (dailyfetched.com)  "Former Secret Service agent and conservative news host Dan Bongino is warning that the safety of former President Donald Trump is compromised due to an “inside threat” within the protective agency.

During Monday’s episode of his show, Bongino suggested that the Republican Nominee is being targeted by professionals who have likely have infiltrated the Secret Service.

"He also warned that these threats against the former president are not isolated incidents, but rather a broader effort to stop Trump from returning to the White House by any means necessary.

"Bongino bluntly warned that the former president is “being hunted,” outlining the threat of Trump becoming the victim of a successful assassination, RVM News reported. 

“So guys, listen this morning, the suspect in the second, sadly, we’ve got to, like, delineate which assassination plot we’re freaking talking about, because President Donald Trump is being hunted,” Bongino stated.

"He noted the word “hunted” was deliberate in order to hammer home the seriousness of the situation.

“ 'I use that word deliberately. Some people will know what I mean if they’re listening, some people who really care,” Bongino said.

"Bongino said that the individuals targeting Trump are not lone wolves, but rather professionals who have access to sensitive information on the former president’s movements." . . .

  Cannot believe the DOJ released this letter. It took forever for a source to leak the Nashville school shooter’s manifesto.

Blame Left's Incendiary Rhetoric for Trump Assassination Attempts; Victor Davis Hanson   

. . ."And can we just stop with the demonizing of Trump as a “Hitler/fascist/bloodbath/weasel/dictator” that must be stopped—before we see third, fourth, and fifth such assassination attempts?"

 The Daily Show had fun with this vitriolic call to kill Donald Trump by Joe Biden  I can see pure hatred in Biden's face. TD


Eight House Democrats Vote to Pull the Plug on Biden’s EV Rule

  Leslie Eastman (legalinsurrection.com)  

It will take a long time to chip away in piecemeal fashion all the economic damage done under Harris and her green energy minions. But the House vote is a good sign that even more dominoes will fall. 

"Meanwhile, the Harris-Walz campaign is silent on climate policy, which is odd because Harris was tie-breaking vote in the Inflation Reduction Act that was, in reality, the Green New Deal that brought policies like the EV mandate.

"Another green energy domino is falling, and we have bipartisanship to thank for it!

"Eight Democrats voted with the House GOP to overturn a Biden administration rule that forces automakers to make a significant portion of their fleet electric.

The Democrats who voted in favor of overturning the rule were Reps. Yadira Caraveo (Colo.), Henry Cuellar (Texas), Don Davis (N.C.), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Jared Golden (Maine), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Marcy Kaptur (Ohio), and Mary Sattler Peltola (Alaska).

All eight Democrats represent districts that are highly competitive in this fall’s election.

One Republican, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), voted with the rest of the Democrats against axing the rule. Fitzpatrick also represents a competitive district, though it is rated as likely Republican by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

"The action comes as EV sales, a keystone of compliance with this nonsense, have begun to slow.

“The EPA’s latest tailpipe emissions rule is not really about reducing air pollution. It’s about forcing Americans to drive electric vehicles,’’ said Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Washington, the chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

She called the rule “unreasonable” and “just another example of how the Biden-Harris administration’s rush-to-green agenda is handing China the key to America’s energy future, jeopardizing our auto industry and forcing people to buy unaffordable EVs they don’t want.’’

"The effort is not expected to eliminate the rule. If the resolution that passes makes it past the Senate, Biden (or his designated minder of the day) will veto it." . . .

After 11 months of letting Hezbollah shoot at it, Israel is destroying Hezbollah

"Israel is not the leading edge of the free world. It is the last gasp of the free world. If it goes, we all go."  AW


Andrea Widburg - American Thinker  "Hezbollah (an Iranian proxy) has taken rocket-fired potshots at Israel for years. However, beginning immediately after Hamas (an Iranian proxy) attacked Israel on October 7, Hezbollah began launching rockets at Israel every day. Israel, preoccupied with the Gaza War, relocated over 70,000 people who lived in northern Israel to get them out of the line of fire. Now, though, Israel is fully engaging Hezbollah and, after an awesome start, Israel’s war is still going...well, awesomely.

"According to Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Hezbollah has fired over 8,000 rockets at Israel in the last 11 months, which is around 24 rockets a day. Of that number, the overwhelming majority were fired before Operation Grim Beeper, which occurred last week. Thus, even while Democrats and the rest of the world were screaming about Israel’s delicately conducted war against Hamas (an urban war with the lowest civilian-to-soldier casualty rate in history), everyone was ignoring the non-stop rocket fire directed at Israel’s civilians.

"Despite these provocations, Israel waited patiently until just the right time to launch her defense against Hezbollah’s one-sided attacks. It had been planning the pager operation for 15 years and would not be rushed into it until the time was right.

"The pager attack, as we all know, was stunningly successful, much to the chagrin of the Israel haters. According to Hezbollah’s internal documents, 879 Hezbollah members and 291 senior commanders died, presumably because the confined blasts (which left civilians virtually unscathed) severed their femoral arteries." . . .

Hezbollah's Pagers Go Boom, #AntiSemites Wax Wroth

"Harris was named the grand marshal of the 33rd annual parade, typically reserved to celebrate the legacy of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. But leftist political forces used the occasion to celebrate their own political causes, including the 'Times up!' movement, featuring women who protested sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace.

"All this wouldn’t have happened if 7th Oct 23 had not taken place; know the power and might of your enemy before launching any attack. Know the cost you can’t afford to pay. Better still, be true to the peace that Islam claims to be. Don’t stir the hornets’ nest."
