A California lawmaker has proposed an ambitious plan to raise the minimum wage to $50 per hour. Democratic Representative Barbara Lee argued that, due to the affordability crisis in the San Francisco Bay Area, a family of four needs at least $127,000 to survive. Lee's proposal means that minimum wage workers would earn more than $100,000 per year. She made these comments while debating with Reps Adam Schiff (D-CA), Katie Porter (D-CA) and Republican Steve Garvey. Schiff and Porter have both called for the minimum wage to be increased to at least $20 an hour. However, Garvey has resisted raising
But now, it turns out that one of the people involved, who was believed to have fled New York City, has just been arrested again in the city. He didn't look too happy, as the authorities marched him down the street.
Nineteen-year-old Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel was arrested again, as part of a group of four people who allegedly stole about $600 in clothing from a Macy's in a Queens mall. They struggled with a security employee, who tried to stop them and punched him. The employee suffered some injuries. Gomez-Izquiel has been charged with robbery and petit larceny.
The Republican National Committee has made a decision on one of the most hotly contested state GOP chair seats in America.

Kristina Karamo, the popular conservative and activist who was elected by MIGOP delegates during a state MI GOP conference in March 2023, has been replaced after it was determined by the RNC that the proper by-laws were followed to remove her on January 6, in a 40-6 vote by a group of 71 state committee members (including proxies).
The U.S. used a multi-bladed weapon to kill Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah leader Abu Baqr al-Saadi in February.
The U.S. targeted al-Saadi in Iraq on Feb. 7 out of retaliation for Kataib Hezbollah’s attacks against a military base in Jordan in late January that killed three U.S. troops. The weapon that was used to kill al-Saadi is a modified hellfire “flying ginsu” missile wielding six long blades, which was previously unreported in the aftermath of the strike, defense officials told The Wall Street Journal. The AGM-114 R9X hellfire missile, sometimes referred to as a Ginsu or a ninja bomb, does not contain a warhead and does not explode on impact, instead
Climate activists just vandalized the display of the US Constitution in the Rotunda of the National Archives in Washington DC. They poured red powder on themselves and the display.
The America-hating lunatics then lectured the people in the rotunda about their global warming nonsense.
It was interesting to see the police walk around them with out much concern. What was that about?

Russian President Vladimir Putin openly expressed his preference for President Joe Biden as a better choice for the White House than former President Donald Trump. During a recent interview, he indicated that it would be easier for Russia to deal with Washington with Biden in the Oval Office and downplayed concerns about the president’s age and mental acuity.This candid revelation on Putin’s part seems to mark a significant departure from the Kremlin’s perceived favor toward Trump. However, there could be more to this than it seems.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday Joe Biden would be better for Russia as president than Donald Trump,
The September Surprise
replies
What’s a Democrat to do?
President Biden’s poll numbers seem set in quicksand. Now the special counsel’s justification for not recommending charges against Biden for having “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials” is damning: Biden’s memory has such “significant limitations” that the special counsel believed he could not convince a jury that Biden has a “mental state of willfulness” that a serious felony (or, presumably, serving as president) requires. Cue the campaign commercials.
Salvation lies in the DNC rules.

Bogus White House Spin replies
One of the things in particular that riled up the Biden White House so much about the Hur report was the mention by Special Counsel Robert Hur that President Joe Biden could not remember the year his eldest son, Beau Biden, tragically passed away."He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died," Hur wrote in the report.
The response by Joe Biden, as we previously reported, was to throw a temper tantrum during the impromptu press conference he held just a few hours after the report's release
"There's even reference that I don't remember when my son died," Biden stated. "How the hell dare he raise that?
Latinos and the Law

El Salvador president Nayib Bukele was reelected with almost 85 percent of the vote following his massive crackdown on gangs that saw the Central American republic’s official murder rate plummet to historic lows. Bukele’s success raises interesting questions about Latinos’ propensity toward violence.
Unlike in the United States, where the public has to wait almost nine months for national crime statistics to be published, El Salvador’s government announced on Jan. 3, 2024, that only 154 murders had been committed in 2023, down from over 2,000 in 2019.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) set off the Russian collusion hoax in 2016 when U.S. intelligence officials recruited foreign governments to spy on Democrats’ American political opponents. On Tuesday, Substack publications Public and Racket revealed new details about the origins of the Spygate hoax the U.S. federal government perpetrated on the Donald Trump presidential campaign.
“Multiple credible sources tell Public and Racket that the United States Intelligence Community (IC), including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), illegally mobilized foreign intelligence agencies to target Trump advisors long before the summer of 2016,”
For vowing to defend women in North Carolina from men who infiltrate female-designated spaces, something a majority of voters support, North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson was criticized by two Republican gubernatorial candidates in his state. Robinson is also campaigning for governor.

A few days after the mostly peaceful protest against vote fraud at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, Disney CEO Bob Iger held an all-hands meeting announcing it was time for Disney to start “taking a stand” on political issues. At the time of this meeting, Bob Chapek was the Disney Grooming Syndicate’s CEO. Iger was serving in the ad hoc post of executive chairman. Eleven months later, primarily due to Disney’s entry into partisan politics and the divisive culture wars, Chapek would be gone, and Iger would be back in charge. In this video, which Christopher Rufo first reported, Iger is not at all subtle
LONDON/SINGAPORE - Global demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) is estimated to rise by more than 50% by 2040, as China and countries in South and Southeast Asia use LNG to support their economic growth, Shell said on Wednesday.
The market remains "structurally tight", with prices and price volatility remaining above historic averages, constraining growth, the world's largest LNG trader said in its 2024 annual LNG market outlook. Demand for natural gas has peaked in some regions, including Europe, Japan and Australia in the 2010s, but continues to rise globally, and is expected to reach around 625-685 million metric tons per year in 2040, Shell said
Disgraced politician Anthony Weiner's ex-wife Huma Abedin has seemingly revealed she is dating billionaire George Soros' son Alex - who is almost ten years her junior.
The longtime aide to Hillary Clinton appeared to take her romance public on Wednesday when she shared a photo of herself and Alex enjoying a Valentine's Day date at a restaurant in Paris.
In the image - which was posted on Instagram Stories by both Huma, 47, and Alex, 38 - shows the pair cuddling up in a corner booth behind a table strewn with red roses and gifts, with the billionaire playboy adding a 'Happy Valentine's Day' message above their heads.
The United States has informed Congress and its European allies of new intelligence about Russian nuclear capabilities that could pose an international threat, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing unnamed officials.
Citing a current and a former U.S. official, the newspaper reported the new intelligence was related to Russia's attempts to develop a space-based antisatellite nuclear weapon. Current and former officials said the nuclear weapon was not in orbit, the newspaper reported.
Roses are red, violets are blue, the White House looks cute on Valentine's too!
First lady Jill Biden shared her "Valentine to the Country" by sprucing up the White House's north lawn with the cutest art display.
This year's setup features a big wooden red envelope, painted in her handwriting: "To America with Love...," alongside a similar-sized open pink envelope with the message: "Happy Valentine's Day 2024—XOXO, Jill," and right next to the first lady's cute letters, sits a whimsical three-dimensional wooden box filled with wooden Sweethearts-like candy, each painted with messages of love, gratitude, and optimism.
With February marking Black History Month, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is spotlighting some of its meteorologists.
The field has struggled with attracting Black scientists. In the most recent American Meteorological Society survey of meteorologists taken in 2020, just 2% of respondents identified as Black. According to the latest census, 13.6% of Americans are Black.

The United States faces a “serious national security threat,” according to House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH), who is urging President Biden to declassify all information related to it.

If Joe Biden is unfit to stand trial, he’s unfit to be president.
Special counsel Robert Hur’s nearly 400-page report is full of damning evidence of Biden’s carelessness with vital national-security secrets.
And his defense of Biden is that the man is just too old and forgetful to be held responsible for his actions.
Consider Biden’s storage of Afghan war secrets in his Delaware home, including a classified handwritten memo he wrote to President Barack Obama in 2009 that Biden kept because he thought it would vindicate his opposition to sending more troops.

Democrats Against Democracy
More evidence that when Democrats talk about Our Democracy™️ they don’t mean democracy. They mean not having to deal with those pesky opponents that sometimes, God forbid, win elections.
Thus, Rasmussen finds that 78% of Democrats approve of “state officials removing Trump’s name from the ballot.” Well, that’s one way to make it easy to elect Democrats.
In a parallel finding, 77% of Democrats say that the January 6 protest was “an insurrection that attempted to overthrow the government.”
A critical examination of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) training programs suggests they often make racism in the workplace worse, according to a report by David Haskell, an associate professor of digital media and journalism at Wilfrid Laurier University. In “What DEI research concludes about diversity training: It is divisive, counter-productive and unnecessary” — written for the Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy — Haskell argues DEI training, widely used by corporations, educational institutions and government agencies, is doing more harm than good when it comes to countering racism.
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents fear there may be an alliance brewing between El Salvador’s MS-13 gang and Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua that would see New Yorkers terrorized by crime sprees, fueled by the porous southern border.
According to an FBI agent who spoke to the New York Post‘s Isabel Vincent, members of Tren de Aragua have exploited President Joe Biden’s policies at the United States-Mexico border that help release thousands of illegal aliens into American cities every day.
As a result, the Venezuelan street gang has massively grown its ranks across the sanctuary city of New York City, particularly in the Bronx. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro,

Remember when Democrats advocated for working-class Americans?
My maternal relatives were all Irish Catholic Democrats in decades past. They were deeply conservative in their personal lives and social views, and concurrently deeply committed to the party of John F. Kennedy and Tip O’Neill.
Those days now seem like an era of antiquity compared to the radical, even Marxist, Democratic Party of the 2020s. The Biden-Harris Democrats push secular humanist ideology while acting fully in concert with the economic ruling class of America, all at the cavalier expense of middle- and lower-income citizens.
This observation is not merely my opinion, but rather the widespread view of working-class Americans
Many leftists have made their allegiances clear in the war between Hamas and Israel. This includes members of the mainstream media who have sought to equivocate between Islamic terrorists and the Jewish state — and sometimes report outright lies.
One journalist has taken his bias toward Hamas to an extreme, and it won’t shock you when you find out what outlet he works for.
The Times of Israel reports that “A Palestinian journalist working for Al Jazeera appears to also be a commander in Hamas’s military wing, according to images and documents recovered by the IDF in the Gaza Strip during the ongoing war against the terror Palestinian terror group.”
The Biden administration is investigating Israel for potentially misusing American weapons as well as its use of a chemical agent in its war against Hamas, according to a Wall Street Journal report on Wednesday.
Israel is carrying out a sweeping counteroffensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip in retaliation for the terrorist group’s attacks on Oct. 7 that left over 1,200 civilians dead. The Biden administration is investigating Israel regarding its potential misuse of weaponry in Gaza and Lebanon, some of which could have been provided by the U.S., The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.

Israel has left international talks in Cairo aimed at the release of hostages and securing a six-week truce with Hamas due to what it says are “delusional demands.”

Netanyahu “insists that Israel will not give in to Hamas’s delusional demands. A change in Hamas’s positions will allow the negotiations to advance.”

Hollywood Biden cheerleader Rob Reiner is once again pushing the left’s “Christian nationalism” boogeyman, saying conservative Christians who are politically active are “antithetical to the teachings of Jesus.”
Rob Reiner — who remains one of President Joe Biden’s biggest Hollywood fundraisers — spoke to Newsweek to promote the upcoming documentary God & Country, which Reiner produced.
“This movement that they have here seems completely antithetical to the teachings of Jesus,” Reiner said.
“Jesus was about peace and love and helping thy neighbor and those less fortunate than ourselves. And I thought that was something that we should all aspire to. So to me this movement is going totally opposite the teachings of Jesus.”
Israel fired a “widespread wave” of airstrikes in Lebanon on Wednesday following a series of missile assaults from Hezbollah terrorists that killed one Israeli and injured eight others.
The Israeli military decimated several of the terror group’s compounds, control rooms and terror infrastructure, the IDF touted, with Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi vowing to continue the bombardments.
“The next campaign will have a very strong offensive, and we will use all our tools and capabilities,” he said during a meeting with leaders in northern Israel where thousands have been displaced over the conflict with Hezbollah.
“There is still a long way to go,” he added.

Does America’s 2024 election come down to a choice between two different shades of your crazy uncle, one semi-senile, the other vulgar and erratic? A decade ago, when Donald Trump launched his presidential bid, there was a real clash of visions for the US at stake. “Make America great again” (Maga) heralded the end of globalisation and the return of tariffs, hard borders and nationalism: the stuff of the Dark Ages, as far as establishments on both sides of the Atlantic were concerned.
Today, the Trumpian critique of neo-liberal globalisation is echoed by Financial Times columnists – and enacted into policy by the Democrats.
