The owner of a Seattle restaurant has filed a federal lawsuit against the city for the loss of business and expenses incurred during the deadly 2020 Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ). The suit is the latest litigation against the city as a result of the zone that according to the Seattle Times, has already cost Seattle over $9 million. Peter Pak, the owner of Oma Bap, a Korean restaurant at 11th Avenue and Olive Way, claims in the litigation that Seattle officials that enabled the protests, riots, and more in the neighborhood during the unrest in the summer of 2020 cost his establishment tens of thousands of dollars

Anheuser-Busch distributors in the South were “spooked” by the widespread backlash Bud Light received after teaming up with transgender social media star Dylan Mulvaney.
The intense opposition to Mulvaney promoting the beer has been alarming to Anheuser-Busch distributors, which placed fewer orders after the partnership sparked outrage from conservatives who argued the company is pushing “gender propaganda,” according to a Beer Business Daily report reviewed by Fox News.
“We reached out to a handful of A-B [Anheuser-Busch] distributors who were spooked, most particularly in the Heartland and the South, and even then in their more rural areas,” the popular beer industry trade publication wrote.

I wanted to lead this article off with a Courtney Love quote that I read years ago, but I couldn’t find it. So I’ll paraphrase it. Love once told an interviewer that she had to learn the difference between honesty and candor, and she explained that honesty is telling the truth, while candor is telling the truth in a way that could offend.
She said it much more colorfully, but the point is still valid. And one Florida lawmaker may have learned that lesson the hard way, especially when it comes to the transgender madness that’s sweeping the nation.
Florida’s HB 1521, currently under debate in the legislature, addresses people
New information is being uncovered regarding the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s unprecedented raid of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home last year. According to America First Legal (AFL), a judicial watchdog, an investigation of the raid confirmed that the FBI gained access to NARA records through a “special access request” made by the Biden White House on behalf of the Department of Justice.
“On August 8, 2022, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted an unprecedented raid of Mar-a-Lago on the ground that potentially classified
Chicago's incoming liberal mayor has already raised eyebrows by blaming the city's poverty problems and surging crime rates on businesses that don't pay tax.
Brandon Johnson, a former union organizer who was elected on Tuesday, said the city doesn't have money to solve its problem because '70 percent of large corporations in the state of Illinois don't pay a corporate tax'.
'It's that type of restraint on our budget that has caused the type if disinvestment that has led to poverty, of course that has led to violence,' said Johnson, who didn't give the source for his claim. The 47-year-old Cook County commissioner beat candidate Paul Vallas,
Reparations: The grift that keeps on giving
15 replies
Reparations — the political gift (or grift, if you prefer) that keeps on giving — is, yet again, back in the news, and of course the looniest ideas are coming out of California, that bastion of slavery we all know from our American history classes. Huge numbers are being tossed around by the rabid left and the race-baiters (redundant, I know). If only we can give enough money, the left moans, then all will be fixed, all will be healed, and we can live in racial harmony.
Think of the absurdity and mental gymnastics of reparations. Who gets them? Who gives them?

energy push heightens national security concerns 6 replies
A new report published by the Institute for Energy Research is the latest in a series of warnings that President Joe Biden’s green energy policies put America’s national security in "real jeopardy."
The reported published last week argues Biden’s push the U.S. away from fossil fuels and toward so-called renewable energy makes the country “far more dependent” on imports from China than it’s ever been on the Middle East for oil imports.
America's dependence is in large part the result of China have much of the rare earth metals and other mined elements such as cobalt and lithium
"Therein lies the danger," the report reads. "The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) controls
The Republican-led House Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena to FBI Director Christopher Wray on Monday, after learning that the Bureau planned to enlist sources at so-called “mainline” (Novus Ordo) Catholic parishes to inform on purportedly radicalized fellow parishioners.
In his letter to Wray, the committee’s chairman, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), revealed for the first time that the FBI “relied on information derived from at least one undercover agent to produce its analysis and that the FBI proposed that its agents engage in outreach to Catholic parishes to develop sources among the clergy and church leadership to inform on Americans practicing their faith,” Jordan wrote. “This shocking information reinforces

Mark down Tuesday, April 4, as the night Chicago died.
That’s when we learned that Second City voters narrowly elected Brandon Johnson as their next mayor. This is a city that was flattened during the reign of Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who lost in the first round of voting for Chicago mayor because she didn’t finish in one of the top two spots. Lightfoot, elected in 2019 after a career as a federal prosecutor who then held several appointed positions in Chicago, shut down the city for more than a year during COVID-19. She also bankrupted small businesses, allowed rioters to burn down whole neighborhoods, presided over the worst crime wave
Why are IQs dropping?
23 replies
For decades IQs were climbing in the Western World. It was called the “Flynn effect.”
Average IQs were defined as 100 in each succeeding iteration of the IQ test, as by definition the average was normed to 100. But if you rescored earlier IQ tests based upon prior norms, the average IQ would have increased by about 15 points or one standard deviation.
In other words, if you took an IQ test in 1942 and scored 100, by today’s scoring you would have an IQ of 86.
That is, until the past 10 or so years. In the past 10 years, IQs have been dropping, and dropping pretty fast.
Justin Jones, one of the so-called “Tennessee Three” who ended up expelled may be back on the job in no time. According to a new report, Jones appears to have secured the votes from Nashville’s council to be reappointed to the position he was removed from.
The Democrat was booted from office after he and two others helped lead an insurrection that breached the Tennessee capitol building. Jones then used a bullhorn to lead chants on the chamber floor in solidarity with the mob. Republicans came together and voted to expel him on Thursday. "Exiled Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones is expected to be reinstated Monday
The Anti-Defamation League – one of the premier censorship agencies of the corporate state — has unironically adopted the Hamas human shield tactic of hiding behind Holocaust victims to deflect incoming flak for George Soros, globalist puppeteer extraordinaire. (Snip) Get it, bigot? Criticizing a foreign billionaire money changer (Soros literally built his fortune trading currencies and wrecking multiple national economies in the process) who uses his ill-gotten fortune to meddle in American politics isn’t about a sincere desire for national sovereignty and local, true political representation.
It’s simply your anti-Semitism showing! So shut your mouth and bow to your multinational overlord unless you want your CBDC spigot shut off!
You already know about the terrible event in Louisville, Kentucky, which saw a disgruntled former bank employee open fire at a meeting, killing several people and wounding several more. Invariably, after a shooting, leftists blame the GOP because it supports the right to armed self-defense. In Sturgeon’s case, though, it seems that, once again, this mass murder was probably carried out by a leftist.
As far as the Biden administration is concerned, if there’s a shooting, it’s the GOP’s fault because the GOP, along with the majority of Americans, still believes in the Second Amendment:

The Democrat National Committee (DNC) has selected Chicago, Illinois, as the location for the 2024 convention. Joe Biden called Governor JB Pritzker earlier this morning and informed him of the selection.
It’s an interesting development as most of the betting money would have predicted the Democrat convention toward Atlanta, Georgia. However, if you factor in the unspoken influence and importance of Chicago Jesus, et al,… well, then things take a more fulsome background.
Walmart closing 4 locations in Chicago

Chicago: Walmart plans to close four stores in Chicago by mid-April, the company announced Tuesday.
The following stores will close on Sunday, April 16: (Snip) Officials with the department store cited profit margins as the reasoning behind the closing.
“The simplest explanation is that collectively our Chicago stores have not been profitable since we opened the first one nearly 17 years ago – these stores lose tens of millions of dollars a year, and their annual losses nearly doubled in just the last five years. The remaining four Chicago stores continue to face the same business difficulties,

A federal judge wants to know if ex-President Donald Trump plans to attend a New York trial this month resulting from a columnist’s claims that he raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s.
Judge Lewis A. Kaplan issued an order Monday directing parties in the case to notify him by April 20 whether they will be present throughout the trial, scheduled to start April 25 in Manhattan federal court.
President Joe Biden signed legislation Monday to end the national emergency for Covid-19, the White House said, in a move that will not affect the end of the separate public health emergency scheduled for May 11.
A White House official downplayed the impact of the bill, saying the termination of the emergency "does not impact our ability to wind down authorities in an orderly way."
The bill to end the national emergency cleared the Senate last month in a bipartisan 68-23 vote and passed the House earlier this year with 11 Democrats crossing party lines to vote for the joint resolution. "Since Congress voted to terminate the National Emergency earlier than anticipated,
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on Tuesday filed a federal lawsuit against Rep. Jim Jordan, alleging that the Republican lawmaker is trying to wage a campaign of intimidation over his prosecution of former President Donald Trump. In his lawsuit, the Democratic D.A. said he's taking legal action "in response to an unprecedently brazen and unconstitutional attack by members of Congress on an ongoing New York State criminal prosecution and investigation of former President Donald J. Trump." Bragg is asking a judge to invalidate subpoenas that Jordan, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, has or plans to issue as part of an investigation of Bragg's handling of the Trump case.

Whole Foods opened its 64,000+ square foot “flagship” store in downtown San Francisco in March of 2022. On Monday, the grocery giant announced it was shuttering that location — at least for now.
“We are closing our Trinity location only for the time being,” a Whole Foods spokesperson said in a statement. “If we feel we can ensure the safety of our team members in the store, we will evaluate a reopening of our Trinity location.”
A City Hall source told The Standard the company cited deteriorating street conditions around drug use and crime near the grocery store as a reason for its closure.
The closing is reflective of the struggles
Residents living near Portland's Willamette River have witnessed a series of homeless cabins and structures being built on prime river real estate with "million-dollar" city views but have so far been unable to get anyone to do anything about it. "Pretty much everyone comes back and says that they don’t have jurisdiction because it’s Union Pacific, it’s a railroad," Ric Scaramella, who owns a condominium on the other side of the Willamette River, told KOIN in a report Sunday.
Scaramella told the outlet that people across the river from his home have been building makeshift cabins, complete with doors, windows and sometimes even solar panels, on the banks of the river
