Senator Ron Johnson is Right, Democrats Voted for Abortions Up to Birth– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt from www.lifenews.com

There are three things certain in life: death, taxes, and self-styled fact-checkers defending Democrats on late-term abortion. The latest example came on Friday from D.L. Davis, who gave Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson a “false” label for claiming “Every Senate Democrat has voted to support unlimited abortions up to the moment of birth.”

Johnson’s office cited the Democrats’ 2022 Women’s Health Protection Act and Davis took exception to the use of the word “every,” writing “[Sen. Joe] Manchin, R-W.Va. [sic], voted no along with Republican senators on the measure. The vote was 49 Yes and 51 No.”

It’s ironic that Davis tried to shame Johnson for saying “every” Democrat voted for it when the truth is everyone, but one did and Davis and his editors couldn’t even get Manchin’s party letter label correct.

Regardless, Davis also cited Johnson’s office for claiming “the measure ‘would enshrine abortion into law up until the moment of birth and block state laws with protections against late-term abortions.’”

Excerpt from insidethemagic.net

…. Disneyland’s character performers were so disappointed in Disney’s treatment of them that they recently decided to hold a vote to unionize. Many of Disneyland’s cast members are already part of a union, so this is not so unusual. Disneyland’s character performers simply wanted to have the support of a union so they could voice their concerns and air their grievances without fear of retribution.

On Saturday, May 18, a union vote was held, and the performers overwhelmingly voted YES. Disneyland’s character performers will now be a part of the Actors’ Equity Association, which represents many performers who work on Broadway.

Per The Hollywood Reporter:

“They say that Disneyland is ‘the place where dreams come true,’ and for the Disney cast members who have worked to organize a union, their dream came true today,” Actors’ Equity Association president Kate Shindle said in a statement on Saturday. “The next step will be to collaborate with them about improving health & safety, wages, benefits, working conditions and job security. After that we will meet with representatives of the Walt Disney Company to negotiate those priorities into a first contract.”

Red Lobster Files for Chapter 11

pgnewser May 20, 2024 1

The American Seaford restaurant icon, Red Lobster, has announced plans to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in an effort to overcome over $1 billion in debt. It is expected that the majority of restaurants will close over the coming weeks, but no clear closure plan has been yet released.

Red Lobster CEO Jonathan Tibus said of the decision, “This restructuring is the best path forward for Red Lobster. It allows us to address several financial and operational challenges and emerge stronger and re-focused on our growth. The support we’ve received from our lenders and vendors will help ensure that we can complete the sale process quickly and efficiently while remaining focused on our employees and guests.”

On Sunday, Red Lobster announced that it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and secured $100 million in debtor-in-possession financing commitments from existing lenders. The company was over $1 billion in debt.

The seafood chain noted that while remaining restaurants will continue operating during the proceedings, the number of locations is set to be drastically reduced in the coming weeks.

In a press release, Red Lobster explained that it had entered into a “stalking horse purchase agreement,” meaning the company “will sell its business to an entity formed and controlled by its existing term lenders.”

Sen. Schumer calls for $8 cap on credit card late fees– www.nydailynews.com

Excerpt from www.nydailynews.com

Credit card late fees should be capped at $8, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer urged Sunday, after the U.S. Supreme Court found the federal Consumer Finance Protection Bureau’s funding to be constitutional in the face of conservative attacks.

“Junk fees, like late fees on credit cards, are meant to pile up and get so unaffordable that the customer simply drowns in debt — it’s unfair and has got to end,” the New York Dem said in a statement. “The credit card companies are making billions in fees while consumers try and pay all the fees along the way.”

While the average late fee in New York is $21, that can get compounded based on one’s balance, wreaking havoc with a consumer’s debt load, Schumer said. He noted that consumers spent $15 billion on late fees in 2022 alone. Nationally, the typical fee tops $30, the CFPB said earlier this year.

“The goal of a $8 late fee cap is not only alive, but it is likely, and I want it enacted ASAP,” Schumer said. “A cap would be a cushion for many people who don’t skirt their bills but have found that the fees just kill them.”

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has initiated a significant price reduction for its iPhone models in China, as it faces mounting competition from local rivals like Huawei Technologies Co.

What Happened: Apple has launched a substantial discounting campaign on its official Tmall site in China, offering discounts of up to $318 (CNY 2,300) on select iPhone models, reported Reuters.

This move comes as Apple seeks to maintain its position in the high-end smartphone market, where it is facing increased competition from local players such as Huawei.

The discounting campaign, which runs from May 20 to May 28, is more substantial than the one Apple offered in February.

The House Judiciary Committee has launched an investigation into the 2022 assault of J6er Ronald McAbee at the D.C. Central Detention Facility, better known as the D.C. Gulag.

On September 5, 2022, an altercation occurred at the facility, resulting in the discharge of chemical munitions in McAbee’s face. The incident is one among many cases of abuse against J6ers at the facility, and one that D.C. authorities appear to be working hard to cover up.

McAbee, who was a Deputy at the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office on January 6, 2021, was convicted in October of five felonies, including, “assaulting, resisting, or impeding an officer; civil disorder; entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds with a deadly or dangerous weapon” (reinforced knuckle gloves).

TRUMP TRIAL UPDATE: Final Phase Entered; Judge Juan Merchan to Issue Jury Instructions– conservativeroof.com

Excerpt from conservativeroof.com

The trial of former President Donald Trump is set to reach its final phase on Monday, as the prosecution’s beleaguered “star witness” Michael Cohen gets ready to testify for the last time.

Last week, Trump’s defense team banged up Cohen’s credibility by casting doubt on whether the former fixer actually spoke to Trump on the night of October 26, 2017, as he had previously stated.

Cohen asserted that during the call, Trump had given the green light to a hush-money agreement with Stormy Daniels. However, Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche presented evidence showing that Cohen had talked with Trump’s bodyguard that evening regarding a prank call from a 14-year-old.

Once the defense concludes its cross-examination of Cohen on Monday, both the prosecution and defense will have a chance to question Cohen again, but the prosecution is expected to rest. While the defense might opt to call additional witnesses or potentially have Trump testify, such a move isn’t anticipated. The defense could conclude its case as early as this week. Closing arguments might be presented as soon as Tuesday.

House GOP to Senate Dems: Your border vote is political ‘cover’– www.politico.com

Excerpt from www.politico.com

House Republicans are already deriding the Senate’s bid for a vote on bipartisan immigration legislation as a political ploy that’s doomed — in the extremely unlikely event it even reaches their chamber.

“Leader Schumer is trying give [sic] his vulnerable members cover by bringing a vote on a bill which has already failed once in the Senate because it would actually codify many of the disastrous Biden open border policies that created this crisis in the first place,” Speaker Mike Johnson and his leadership team said in a statement. “Should it reach the House, the bill would be dead on arrival.”

That Senate immigration bill, forged over months of bipartisan negotiations as part of a broader package of foreign aid that subsequently passed on its own, will get a floor vote this week, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on Sunday.

President Joe Biden‘s administration is endorsing the Senate’s move to take up a bipartisan border security agreement, despite the fact the legislation isn’t likely to pass.

“From his first day in office, President Biden has called on Congress to fix our broken immigration system. That’s why he introduced a comprehensive immigration reform plan on day 1,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement on Monday morning. “And that’s why, earlier this year, his Administration reached a bipartisan agreement on the toughest and fairest set of reforms in decades.”

The support from the White House comes as Biden and Democrats are looking to appear proactive on border security, an issue that has been a political liability for the administration.

On Sunday, while Joe Biden was giving a commencement address at Martin Luther King Jr.’s alma mater, several students were seen visibly turning their backs on him while he spoke.

As reported by Breitbart, multiple students were photographed turning away from Biden as he gave the commencement address at Morehouse College. One of the students was seen raising his fist in the air, while another wore a keffiyeh scarf, a garment often associated with supporters of the Islamic terrorist group Hamas; the keffiyeh has become a common feature of many of the anti-Semitic and anti-American protests that have plagued college campuses in recent months.

During his speech, Biden acknowledged the ongoing protests and once again attempted to placate the anti-Israel voices, addressing the “humanitarian crisis in Gaza” and calling for an “immediate ceasefire.”

US troops will complete their withdrawal from Niger by mid-September, the Pentagon says– abcnews.go.com

WASHINGTON — U.S. troops ordered out of Niger by the West African country’s ruling junta will complete their withdrawal by the middle of September, the Pentagon and Nigerien defense officials said Sunday.

The timeline was the product of four days of talks between the countries’ defense officials in the capital city of Niamey, according to a joint statement.

Niger’s decision to kick out American forces dealt a blow to U.S. military operations in the Sahel, a vast region south of the Sahara desert where groups linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group operate.

The rupture in military cooperation followed last July’s ouster of the country’s democratically elected president by mutinous soldiers. A few months later, the ruling junta asked French forces to leave and turned to the Russian mercenary group Wagner for security assistance.

LONDON — British authorities and the country’s public health service knowingly exposed tens of thousands of patients to deadly infections through contaminated blood and blood products, and hid the truth about the disaster for decades, an inquiry into the U.K.’s infected blood scandal found Monday.

An estimated 3,000 people in the United Kingdom are believed to have died and many others were left with lifelong illnesses after receiving blood or blood products tainted with HIV or hepatitis in the 1970s to the early 1990s.

The scandal is widely seen as the deadliest disaster in the history of Britain’s state-run National Health Service since its inception in 1948.

Former judge Brian Langstaff, who chaired the inquiry, slammed successive governments and medical professionals for “a catalogue of failures” and refusal to admit responsibility to save face and expense. He found that deliberate attempts were made to conceal the scandal, and there was evidence of government officials destroying documents.

Hunter Biden on Monday requested that a Delaware federal court delay his trial on weapons charges, which is set to begin next month.

His attorneys claim there is no urgent need to start the trial on its scheduled June 3 date, and that the current schedule leaves too little time between when the Delaware trial ends and a separate California tax charge trial begins.

The president’s son faces charges related to possessing a firearm while under the influence of drugs. Prosecutors claim that Biden lied on a form indicating that he was not using drugs at the time.

He has pleaded not guilty, and argued that he was only in possession of the firearm for 11 days.

Excerpt from www.cbc.ca

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was given permission to have a full appeal over his extradition to the United States after arguing at London’s High Court on Monday that he might not be able to rely on his right to free speech at a trial.

Two judges at the High Court said they had given him leave to have a full appeal to hear his argument that he might be discriminated against on the basis the Australian-born Assange is a foreign national.

Hundreds of protesters had gathered outside the court ahead of what was a key ruling after 13 years of legal battles, with two judges asked to declare whether they were satisfied by U.S. assurances that Assange, 52, could rely on the First Amendment right if he is tried for spying in the U.S.

The news was met outside court by an eruption of cheering and singing. Assange’s legal team had said if he lost he could be on a plane across the Atlantic within 24 hours.

Former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki and fellow MSNBC talking heads Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow
chuckled in March upon learning from a Super Tuesday exit poll that Virginia voters were concerned about the costly, deadly, and destabilizing influx of millions of illegal aliens into the nation.

The exit poll found that immigration was the top concern among 38% of Republican voters. When asked what should be done about the illegal aliens in the U.S., 61% of Republican respondents in Virginia said to send them packing to wherever they came from.

For the well-paid Biden boosters, this was evidently a laughing matter.

“Well, Virginia does have a border with West Virginia. Very contested area,” quipped Maddow.

The reality of the Biden administration’s failure to secure the border has, however, once again adversely impacted the very Americans whose concerns the MSNBC panelists thought laughable.

A Texas Democrat district attorney has been caught smuggling illegal aliens across the Mexican border. And she has proudly admitted to breaking the law.

Democrats really don’t care about laws. Their ends justify their means, after all.

But Bernice Annette Garza, former member of the Starr County District Attorney’s Office, even plastered a smirk across her face in her booking photo.

Per Express News:

In the car with Garza were Magaly Rosa and her husband, Juan Antonio Charles, both then 40 and part of the smuggling operation, according to court records.

The deputy also found four undocumented migrants in the car, records show. They were visibly trembling, were wearing new clothes and appeared to answer questions as though “rehearsed,” the complaint says.

Rosa told authorities that Garza had recruited her to smuggle migrants in her county vehicle. She said Garza provided fraudulent court papers that identified migrants as crime victims, the complaint says.

For more than two years, countries of the world have worked together towards one historic and generational goal – to ensure we are better prepared for the next pandemic by learning lessons from the devastation caused by COVID-19.

At a time when conflicts, politics and economics have wrought destruction, discord and division, sovereign governments have found a way to work collaboratively to forge a new global agreement to protect the world from inevitable future pandemic emergencies.

This essential effort, being driven by hundreds of negotiators tasked by over 190 nations, was launched in the middle of the most devastating event in our lifetimes.

Based on official counts, COVID-19 left more than 7 million dead. But the real death toll is likely much higher. The coronavirus pandemic also wiped billions, if not trillions, from the global economy. Social upheaval – from job losses to school closures – scarred communities worldwide.

As much as you hate the media, it is still not enough.

President Trump was back in a Manhattan court on Monday in Alvin Bragg’s Soviet-style ‘hush money’ lawfare trial.

The prosecutors once again rolled out their ‘star witness’ Michael Cohen, a convicted perjurer, to take the witness stand.

Cohen shocked the public when he admitted he stole tens of thousands of dollars from Trump and lied to Trump Org. CFO Allen Weisselberg.

He also said he would lie to the jury if it affected his personal life.
