Congressman Predicts ‘Civil War’ if Republicans Take Control

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Republican takeover of the House in the November midterm elections would “embolden” far-right extremists and white nationalists who “have been pushing” for “civil war,” contends a member of the chamber’s far-left “Squad.”

Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., said in an interview with the MSNBC show “The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross” that if Republicans regain the majority, they will shut down the Jan. 6 probe, suppress the committee’s findings and “impeach President Biden as quickly as possible, and they will continue to find ways to impeach him going forward.”

“It would also embolden Republicans and the far right, and white nationalists across the country to begin to believe that it is their time to not just take power in the House, but the Senate, the White House and statehouses across the country,” the congressman said.

“We’ve got to understand that this is a group that has been radicalized by the great replacement myth and many other things, and have been pushing for violence and pushing for even civil war. So that is what’s at stake right now in terms of this election,” he said. (Read more from “Congressman Predicts ‘Civil War’ if Republicans Take Control” HERE)

Starbucks CEO Begs Employees to Come Back to Work; Why Employees Don’t Want to Return to Work

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. . .Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is begging his employees to return to the office, but to no avail he has yet to succeed, despite promising to do “whatever” it takes.

During a New York Times event, Schultz said he has begged his employees to come back to work, desperately saying “I said I’ll get on my knees… I’ll do push ups, whatever you want. Come back.” . . .

“I have been unsuccessful, despite everything I’ve tried to do, to get our people back to work…no, they are not coming back at the level I want them to. And, you know, we’re a very collaborative, creative group. I realize I’m an old-school person and this is a different generation.” (Read more from “Starbucks CEO Begs Employees to Come Back to Work” HERE)

Why the Return to the Office Isn’t Working

By Vox. . .The majority of Americans don’t work from home, but among those who do, there’s a battle going on about where they’ll work in the future. And it’s not just people who enjoy remote work who are upset about the return to the office.

Those who want to be remote are upset because they enjoyed working from home and don’t understand why, after two years of doing good work there, they have to return to the office. People who couldn’t wait to go back are not finding the same situation they enjoyed before the pandemic, with empty offices and fewer amenities. Those who said they prefer hybrid — 60 percent of office workers — are not always getting the interactions with colleagues they’d hoped for.

The reasons the return to the office isn’t working out are numerous. Bosses and employees have different understandings of what the office is for, and after more than two years of working remotely, everyone has developed their own varied expectations about how best to spend their time. As more and more knowledge workers return to the office, their experience at work — their ability to focus, their stress levels, their level of satisfaction at work — has deteriorated. That’s a liability for their employers, as the rates of job openings and quits are near record highs for professional and business services, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

The Biden Admin Said Gas Would Be $2.88 This Year; Gas Prices Too High? It’s All Part of Biden’s Plan to Eliminate Fossil Fuels

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. At the end of 2021, the Biden administration released its energy outlook forecast for 2022, and their predictions show just how little they understand about American energy and how utterly unprepared they were for the energy crisis Biden was creating.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration — under the Department of Energy led by Secretary Jennifer Granholm — releases “short-term energy outlook” reports each month to provide information on liquid fuels and forecast their future trends. Their report issued December 7, 2021 — archived here — notes that the forecast “remains subject to heightened levels of uncertainty related to the ongoing recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic” but proceeded to estimate that “U.S. GDP will grow by 5.5% in 2021 and by 4.4% in 2022.”

And here’s what the Biden administration predicted for gasoline in 2022, just six months ago:

U.S. regular gasoline retail prices averaged $3.39 per gallon (gal) in November, a 10 cents/gal increase from October and $1.29/gal higher than in November 2020. The November monthly average was the highest since September 2014. We forecast that retail gasoline prices will average $3.13/gal in December before falling to $3.01/gal in January and $2.88/gal on average in 2022.

Gas Prices Too High? It’s All Part of Biden’s Plan to Eliminate Fossil Fuels

By New York Post. If you think gas prices are high now, just wait. They’re going much higher, thanks to President Joe Biden’s “irreversible” plan to eliminate fossil fuels. Truth is, your pain at the pump is being planned and executed by the White House.

Over the weekend, buyers paid $5 a gallon or roughly $100 bucks to fill the tank.

Gas prices have doubled since Biden took office. J.P. Morgan analysts predict $6 a gallon by August. And experts warn this crisis will continue even after Biden’s term ends because he’s dismantling fossil-fuel production.

When Biden was running for president, he promised to shut down oil producers: “No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period.” He pledged to put the country on “an irreversible” path toward “doing away with” fossil fuels.

On Day One as president, Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline, sending a message of no new pipelines anywhere, period. (Read more from “Gas Prices Too High? It’s All Part of Biden’s Plan to Eliminate Fossil Fuels” HERE)

‘Beyond Pissed’: Border Patrol Hits Rock Bottom Under Biden

/0 Comments/in , /by

The morale of U.S. Border Patrol agents on the southern border has been sinking steadily over the past year, but it now has hit rock bottom amid outright animosity from the Biden administration, the Washington Examiner reports.

“Under Biden, things are the worst they have ever been by far,” said one of eight agents who spoke with the paper about the situation.

“Agents are calling in all the time. You always hear, ‘It doesn’t matter,’ or, ‘What’s the point?’ in reference to doing our job,” the Arizona-based agent said. “Agents are afraid of ending up on the news for doing their job or getting in trouble for doing their job. There is no morale.”

Amid a change in policies from Donald Trump to Joe Biden, the agents have been battling the largest migration event in U.S. history. The physical workload has been overwhelming.

President Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, for example, kept asylum seekers in Mexico while their applications were being processed. (Read more from “‘Beyond Pissed’: Border Patrol Hits Rock Bottom Under Biden” HERE)

Mugshot of Nancy Pelosi’s Husband Is Released From His DUI Arrest

/0 Comments/in , /by

Local law enforcement officials in California have released the mugshot of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) husband, Paul Pelosi, from his DUI arrest late last month.

“Police release booking photo of Speaker Pelosi’s husband Paul Pelosi from late May after he was arrested for DUI,” Fox News correspondent Chad Pergram wrote on Twitter. “Napa County says decision to release or withhold mugshots is up to police. Not DA.”

“Mr. Pelosi received the same treatment under that policy that all individuals released from County Jail receive,” Napa County law enforcement officials said. “No state law specifically requires the release of booking photos or mugshots, but policies regarding this topic can vary by jurisdiction.” (Read more from “Mugshot of Nancy Pelosi’s Husband Is Released From His DUI Arrest” HERE)

January 6 Committee Attacks Trump for Doubting Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

The second day of public hearings of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol was held Monday, and focused on attacking then-President Donald Trump for questioning the 2020 election results.

The goal was a to argue that Trump inspired those who stormed the Capitol by convincing them that the election had been “stolen” and that they had to prevent an illegitimate president from being installed by stopping the certification of the result.

The panel played video depositions of various individuals who had testified before the committee behind closed doors — on pain of prosecution for contempt of Congress — about their disagreement with Trump about the legitimacy of the election.

Notable testimonies included those of former presidential adviser Jared Kushner (Trump’s son-in-law); former Attorney General Bill Barr (whom the Democrat-run House had already voted to hold in contempt over his refusal to hand over grand jury documents in the “Russia collusion” investigation); and — speaking live — former Fox News reporter Chris Stirewalt. News interviews with Trump aides, such as former New York City mayor (and Trump later) Rudy Giluiani, were played. (Read more from “January 6 Committee Attacks Trump for Doubting Election” HERE)

SIGN OF THE TIMES: Gas Station Owner’s Display Goes Viral as Prices Hit Record Highs

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The owner of a gas station in Minnesota wants customers to know he is also frustrated with the country’s record-high prices.

“We hate our gas prices too,” read a sign posted outside a Marathon gas station in St. Paul, WCCO-TV reported.

Chuck Graff, the owner, told the outlet he wanted customers to know they were not the only ones feeling the “pain at the pump” as the national average gas price recently topped $5 per gallon for the first time.

While still below the national average, the price of gas in Minnesota has seen a new record-high for 11 days in a row and now sits at $4.76, the highest ever recorded average price for the state, according to the AAA motorist group.

Last year, a gallon of regular gas in Minnesota cost under $2.90, per the report. (Read more from “Sign of the Times: Gas Station Owner’s Display Goes Viral as Prices Hit Record Highs” HERE)

Americans Still Care More About Inflation Than Abortion

/0 Comments/in , /by

Most Americans still rank record-high inflation under President Joe Biden as the most important issue facing the United States even as the mainstream media fear-monger about the Supreme Court potentially overturning Roe v. Wade, according to a FiveThirtyEight/Ipsos poll released Thursday.

Fifty-five percent of Americans—including 71 percent of Republicans, 41 percent of Democrats, and 54 percent of independents—say inflation is the most important issue, the poll found, a 4-point increase since May. Just 10 percent, by contrast, say abortion is their biggest concern.

While mainstream media sources, including the New York Times, have attempted to stoke fears of abortion bans following the leak of a Supreme Court ruling that overturns Roe, the percent of Americans who cite abortion as their most important issue has increased by only 5 points, the poll found.

School Club Asked Students How They Know They’re Straight

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A student leadership and diversity club in a Phoenix-area school district asked students a series of questions on their sexuality, including how they knew they were straight.

The question was part of a program used by the Unitown Club in the Scottsdale Unified School District to discuss sexual orientation with students, according to emails released by the Arizona Daily Independent. The club’s description contains no reference to sexual education.

The curriculum, which was created by the organization Anytown Learning, lists 16 discussion questions on sexual orientation, including what students think caused their heterosexuality, how they decided they were heterosexual, why heterosexual relationships are unstable, and whether they had considered that heterosexuality was a phase they would grow out of.

The sexual orientation exercise also asks students: “Considering the menace of overpopulation, how could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual?” (Read more from “School Club Asked Students How They Know They’re Straight” HERE)
