1. AB 1228 One Year Later: How The $20 Fast Food Minimum Wage Has Hurt California. Over 22,000 Fast Food jobs have been lost in CA since April 2024.
Fast food prices in California have gone up by 14.5% since a year ago – about double the national average of 8.2%. And that’s not even getting into the 89% of all restaurants in the state reducing employee hours to offset rising costs, with 87% planning additional cuts over the next year.
I hope Californians like it.

2. Los Angeles approves just 4 permits to rebuild in Pacific Palisades after nearly 7,000 homes burned in wildfires
А что так торопятся, целых четыре? Горит что-ли где-то?

3. LA mayor brags about 'fastest recovery' in CA history, home permits down by two-thirds

4. Airbus has decided to halt the development of its hydrogen-powered “green” aircraft after spending nearly USD 2 billion on it
You say "waste of money" but somebody got those 2 billions, and I am sure they appreciate it very much.

5. Practice ‘enoughness’ for ‘climate change’: Scholars say cut back on kids, travel, meat
How about a nice big cup of "fuck you!"?

6. 'Libertarian' Gov. Jared Polis Signs 'Restrictive' Gun Law and Booze Ban
He's a libertarian like my ass is a violin.

7. Washington's Bob Ferguson just signed into law changes to the most outrageous, illegal reparations program in the entire country. It now GIFTS down payments, averaging $120,000, to black first-time homebuyers without ANY proof of direct housing discrimination.
This is of course completely illegal, but that never stopped the Democrats. And I guess people who voted for them are fine with this.

8. Remember that "You Wouldn't Steal a Car" ad campaign from back in the early 2000s? The one that told you pirating DVDs was a crime? It used unlicensed music and a pirated font. Seriously.
Well, the rules apply to other people, not the Best People.

9. Judicial Watch received 163 pages of records from the NY State Dept of Environmental Conservation in a lawsuit which show authorities had planned to euthanize a squirrel named “Peanut” & a raccoon named “Fred” before they were seized from NY resident Mark Longo
Why? Because fuck you, that's why.

10. We should normalize mocking and ridiculing useless, bureaucrat parasites.
Absolutely.

11. Chicago’s teachers insisted that higher pay would unlock student success. The city obliged, hiking per-student spending by 70 percent and boosting average teacher salaries to $100,000. The result? Failure on a grander scale. Today, just 11 percent of black students in Chicago are proficient in reading
Fuck the students, we got those sweet money!

12. Starting this fall for the 2025-26 school year, Minnesota’s public schools will be required to teach third-graders how to use non-binary gender pronouns in writing sentences.
That's the most important. They may not be able to read and write their own name, but they learn the pronouns for all 975 genders.

Who let the DOGE out

13. New data just released by officials in MA show Massachusetts spent over $700 MILLION on housing including migrant housing this fiscal year.

Уже не миллиарды, а триллионы.

Граница на замке

15. The reason Democrat judges are fighting so hard to keep illegals - even the criminal aliens - is all about control of the House. If illegals were removed or not counted for apportionment Democrats would lose 10 seats in the house giving the GOP a 27 seat advantage.

16. "Maryland dad" turns out to also be human trafficker, caught in act in 2022, FBI demanded to let him go.

17. Washington state Dems move illegal immigrant criminals to top of list for commutations, pardons to help them avoid ICE
По-моему, уж яснее обьяснить порядок приоритетов нынешней демпартии невозможно. На первом месте - иностранные преступники, на втором - преступники местные, обычных же граждан, которые в уничтожении своей цивилизации участвовать не хотят, в списке приоритетов нет вовсе.

18. Over half of illegal immigrant households in the United States use at least one taxpayer-funded welfare program, according to congressional testimony provided recently by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS)

19. Democrat Rep. Maxine Dexter posts an embarrassing video from El Salvador saying she will be staying there until the MS-13 terrorist Kilmar Abrego Garcia is released.
Your terms are acceptable. In fact, there's no rush to come back at all.

20. Illinois Gov. Pritzker announced that he is moving to withhold investments made in companies controlled by El Salvador in his state in retaliation for Trump deporting an MS-13 gang member.
They are really going all-in for MS-13. I expect them getting face tattoos any day now.

21. Van Hollen: Shame on President Trump for tearing apart hardworking immigrant families. We should be focused on MS-13, not scholarship winners.
Trump: OK I am focusing on MS-13.
Van Hollen: How dare you! Hitler! Bring those MS-13 dads back into the US immediately, so they can keep beating their wives!
Looks like by "focused on MS-13" he didn't mean deport them, he meant prioritizing them over US citizens.

22. Trump admin reverses course on Biden's student debt relief—only 38% of borrowers current on payments
Time to pay up.

Нас бережёт

23. Progressive Minnesota Prosecutor Lets State Employee Off with No Charges for Alleged Tesla Vandalism
Левые террористы настолько наглы потому, что они знают - их поддерживают наверху и всегда отмажут. Партия Цивильности и Достоинства любит своих террористов.

24. ATF wanted former sailor to serve an additional 10 years in prison for 100% legal MAC Flats
I'll believe anybody on the left cares about "due process" when they would at least mention ATF abuses.

25. Why Does The IRS Need Guns Act
Why indeed. We have the police, we have FBI, we have DHS, we have dozens of other enforcement agencies. IRS can use any of those if they need enforcement.

26. Tulsi Gabbard Criminally Refers Two Intel Officials to DOJ for Prosecution Over Leaks to WaPo, New York Times
Неужто в кои-то веки кто-то сядет?

Trans-Qaeda

27. ‘Hail Satan!’ Scream Pro-Trans Athlete Protestors
Well, that's their self-identification.

28. A man at the North Kansas City YMCA in Missouri reportedly entered the WOMEN’s locker room and exposed his penis to a 7-YEAR-OLD girl and her mother. When confronted by the mother, the man reportedly said, “Honey, I’m a woman.”
YMCA released a statement saying, “individuals are allowed to use the locker room or restroom that they identify with.”
This is not normal.

COVID-1984

29. Anthony Fauci’s fortune doubled to $15 million between early 2019 and 2023, watchdog finds: ‘During worst of COVID lockdowns’
How about that.

Dozens of swastikas

30. This Is the Way: Nova Music Festival Group Responds to Irish Band's Hateful Message at Coachella

31. Palestinian-American billionaire quits Harvard post after lawsuit claims he helped build Hamas terror tunnels, rocket launch sites

32. Skyrocketing antisemitism in Canada sparks concern for country's Jews ahead of election
Yet somehow I suspect the Jews wouldn't dare to speak (or vote) about the true reasons of that.

33. Terror supporters at Yale throw liquid at Jewish students exiting an event on campus. Watch as campus police stand there and do absolutely nothing.

34. 'We'll burn Jews like Hitler did,' Gaza-based BBC contributor says

35. Jewish Agency funded group that praised Netanyahu arrest order
Seriously.

36. Columbia Radicals Ditch Reported Encampment Plans After University Threatens Arrests
Оказывается, порядок вполне можно навести, и для этого нужно всего лишь - начать наводить порядок. Хамасовцы чувствуют себя так привольно именно из-за того, что знают о своей безнаказанности.

Civility and decency

37. The Metcalf family just buried their teenage son but that was just the start of their nightmare. Austin's twin brother held him in his arms as he drew his last breath but now black activists are making credible death threats against him. His father lost his job and both of his parents' homes have been swatted repeatedly.
Just think about it - they are attacked because they allowed their son to be murdered by a black person while being white persons. That's the ONLY reason. How insane this is?!

38. George Mason PhD Student Asks ‘When Must We Kill’ Trump.
Because civility.

39. JFK’s Radical Grandson Accuses Vice President J.D. Vance of ‘Killing the Pope’ in Unhinged Online Rant
Во, наконец-то, а то я уж думал, что придурки так притихли.

Лучшие люди города

40. Jamie Raskin: "When we come back to power — and we will — are not going to look kindly upon people who facilitated authoritarianism in our country."
We oppose authoritarianism and will use the full power of the government to destroy all people who doubt it!
Meanwhile, he said, we are colluding with foreign governments to resist the duly elected American government. But when we come to power, we will destroy our enemies!

41. Jon Ossoff Voted for Military Pay Raises — Then Voted Against Funding Them
Хитрожопость уровня 125.

42. Joe Biden blasted as he smiles for selfies with mourners while attending Pope Francis’ funeral with Jill
"И только один я догадался пригласить даму на танец!", ага.

Беспристрастная пресса

43. The New York Times, Time, Axios, and NPR all wrote the same thing about Pope Francis.
Well, they work for the same Party and promote the same agenda, so of course they all have the same points.

44. CBS Has to Walk Back 'Fake News' Hegseth Hit Piece After DOD Puts Them on Blast
Fake news as usual.

Международная панорама

45. Massive Explosion Destroys Rocket Fuel Component in Iranian Port
Молодцы ребята, отличная работа.

46. Germany Is Revoking Gun Rights from AfD Supporters—and It’s a Warning Shot for the West
More like warning V-2 barrage. They're running 1930s playbook with no single step skipped.

47. Homosexual socialist politician Víctor Sáez visits a kebab shop in his locality in Spain to shoot a propaganda video to show that Muslims are tolerant people, but gets beaten up by the shop owner and his staff and thrown out for being gay
Я бессилен это комментировать.

48. UK could scrap plans to send thousands of troops to Ukraine
Calling those vaporous bloviations "plans" is the exaggeration of the decade. They never were going to send anything.

Технология

49. Mastodon / The Fediverse is a truly bizarre social media experiment. Hundreds of servers selectively choosing which other servers they can communicate with, each with their own rules.
Most of those rules are batshit insane and focused on out-woking everybody else.

Наука

50. Prohibiting the FDA from regulating e-cigarettes reduced smoking attributable mortality by nearly 10% on average each year from 2011-2019 for a total savings of some 677,000 life-years, or approximately 1/3 the estimated benefit of early HIV/AIDS drugs through year 2000.

51. More than 100 Yale professors have called for an audit of the university's sprawling bureaucracy. The audit, they say, would "preempt potential federal intervention" and send the message: "Yale prioritizes intellectual vitality over bureaucratic inertia."
На святое покушаются.

Старомыслы не нутрят ангсоц

52. In its fifth weekend on screens, "Snow White" earned about $7 million in ticket sales domestically and internationally, bringing the total box office take to an estimated $194 million. The film cost an estimated $270 million (after tax credits!) plus another $70-$100 million to market and probably needs $625 million, after theaters take their cut, just to break even.
Disney shareholders must be ecstatic.

53. ‘We Are All The Product of Rape’: 'Star Wars' TV Series Creator Defends Attempted Sexual Assault Scene
Remember I said Andor is mostly agenda-free and non-woke? Well, Season 2 is here and you can forget about that shit. It's back into the Party Line.

54. ‘Racist repression’: UCLA students protest professor for opposing race-based admissions
Opposing racism is racist repression. Doubleplusgood duckspeak.

55. MS-13 Added To LGBTQ Acronym
Давно назревало.

История

56. А вот Claudette Colvin. Она сделала то же, что Роза Паркс, но на 9 месяцев раньше.
О ней никто ничего не знает, потому что она в тот момент была беременна - и незамужем. Её осуждение было отменено только в 2021-м.

57. NYT obituary for former Harvard Medical School pathologist driven out of his job for insisting on a heterodox position on the risk factors of heart disease that clashed with Big Pharma orthodoxy in the service of its financial interests that later was proven to be correct
Академическая свобода - это такая штука, которая вполне распространяется на коммунизм, призывы к убийству евреев, расизм, поддержку терроризма... Но стоит вам задеть интересы кого-то действительно важного, например Спонсоров, и вашей академической свободе капец.

Обыкновенный рашизм

58. Путин разрешил заочно судить, сажать и лишать имущества за "преступления против России"
Странно, что это заняло так много времени.
