Is Kamala’s ‘I Worked At McDonald’s’ Narrative Just The Fast-Food Version Of Stolen Valor?

Published

on

I never served in the military, but I did serve under the Golden Arches at McDonald’s. Kamala Harris apparently did neither, based on the available evidence, and her recent claims to be a fry cook in college seem to be the fast-food version of stolen valor.

You would think a socialist senator who worked at McDonald’s would make her fast-food experience a defining episode in her political memoir, not to mention a staple of her multiple campaigns in California’s Bay Area. But her stint as a minimum-wage cashier representing the American franchise wasn’t mentioned until she first ran for president in 2019, and the story was absent from both of her memoirs, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

“McDonald’s boasts that one in eight Americans has worked at the fast food chain, and Harris, whose campaign is light on policy and heavy on image, has been using her fast food job to portray what the Washington Post, in a credulous piece this month on the Harris-McDonald’s connection, described as ‘her humble background,’” the Beacon reported. “For decades,” however, “Harris never mentioned it, not on the campaign trail nor in two books. It’s absent from a job application and résumé she submitted a year after she graduated from college.” Even “third-party biographers did not write about it.”

The first mention of her alleged time as a McDonald’s employee came in 2019, when she told a labor rally in Las Vegas she “was a student when I was working in a McDonald’s,”

DeSantis Taps Florida AG Office To Oversee Investigation Into Trump Assassination Attempt

Published

on

Gov. Ron DeSantis signed an executive order on Tuesday assigning the Attorney General’s Office of Statewide Prosecution and Florida agencies to oversee the state’s independent investigation into the second assassination attempt against President Donald Trump.

“[I]t’s not in the best interest of our state or our nation to have the same federal agencies that are seeking to prosecute Donald Trump leading this investigation,” DeSantis said during a press conference, noting how this is “especially [true] when the most serious, straightforward offense constitutes a violation of state law, but not federal law.”

“In addition to holding the suspect accountable, the public deserves to know the truth about how this assassination [attempt] came to be,” he continued.

The GOP governor’s announcement came two days after suspect Ryan Routh was spotted by Secret Service camping in bushes near Trump’s West Palm Beach golf course. The former president was playing golf several hundred yards away when agents noticed Routh, who was armed with a large rifle.

The suspect reportedly fled the scene in a car after being fired upon by the Service and was later apprehended. Routh “appeared in federal court on Monday and is being charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person (convicted felon) and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number,” Florida’s Voice News reported, citing a case complaint.

It is reportedly possible that more charges will be filed against the suspect, according to Fox News.

Routh is a longtime Democrat donor who has regurgitated “anti-Trump rhetoric” often used

New Hampshire Governor Signs No-Excuse Voter ID And Citizenship Law, But It Won’t Matter In 2024

Published

on

Gov. Chris Sununu, R-N.H., signed a no-excuse voter identification and proof-of-citizenship bill into law last week, but it will not go into effect until six days after this year’s election.

The law, which passed the state’s Republican-majority House and Senate earlier this year, will require New Hampshire voters to provide proof of citizenship to apply for registration, as well as a photo ID when casting a ballot. In the event a person can’t show a valid ID, the supervisor may “review the voter’s qualifications and determine if the voter’s identity can be verified.”

“If the supervisor of the checklist determines that the voter’s qualifications and identity have not been established, the voter shall not be allowed to vote,” the law clarifies.

Current law allows people to show up to the polls without an ID, cast a ballot, and sign an affidavit promising that they are who they claim to be. It does not require voters to produce documentation until seven days after an election.

“I think this is a great bill and one needed in New Hampshire given its law allowing same day voter registration,” Hans von Spakovsky, Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow and manager of the Election Law Reform Initiative, told The Federalist. “Although it would have been good to have it in effect for this election, given that it only just got passed and just got signed into law so close to the election would probably make it extremely difficult for election officials to implement it before the

Republicans, Stop Letting Democrats Corner You On IVF

Published

on

To boost their abortion and in vitro fertilization agenda and rhetoric ahead of the rapidly approaching 2024 election, Senate Democrats forced a second vote on an extremist legislative package that would effectively shield the multi-billion dollar fertility industry from oversight and regulation.

The “Right To IVF Act,” introduced by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., lumps several radical Democrat-led assisted reproductive technology (ART) bills into one to ensure the unlimited creation, indefinite freezing, and destruction of millions of embryos.

Included in the self-proclaimed “sweeping” bill are vague language and undefined terms that would force Americans with moral objections to ART to fund the manufacturing of motherless and fatherless children, commercial surrogacy, experimental transhumanist technologies like artificial wombs, “gene editing,” and reproduction without women via in vitro gametogenesis.

Additionally, the package would make a permanent path for taxpayer-funded ART like egg and sperm freezing, IVF, and surrogacy for millions of U.S. servicemembers and veterans. It also incentivizes the promotion of babies by any means necessary above adoption and restorative reproductive treatments that address the root causes of infertility.

The legislation aimed at punishing any entity that attempts to rein in unethical and immoral reproductive technologies already flopped once in June, when it failed to garner the 60 votes required to advance.

Instead of creating a clear and principled response to Democrats’ bad-faith efforts to jam their extremism through the upper chamber, however, Senate Republicans, who claim to be exceptionally pro-life, scrambled to promote their own “iron-clad” pro-IVF bills and statements endorsing “nationwide access to IVF.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who recognized the GOP’s inconsistency on IVF,
