– “Something Dangerous Is Happening In America” – Biden Warns Of Trump’s “Extremist Movement”, Blasts Republicans’ Silence:

Authored by Emel Akan via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours)

President Joe Biden delivered a speech about democracy on Sept. 28 in Arizona, a key battleground state for the 2024 election. He took aim at his predecessor, President Donald Trump, and expressed concerns about a “dangerous” trend unfolding in the United States.

“As I’ve always been clear, democracy is not a partisan issue. It’s an American issue,” President Biden said.

“But there is something dangerous happening in America. There is an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy. The MAGA Movement.”

According to the White House, this is the fourth speech by the president focused on democracy.

…but, but, but, the “inflation-reduction” act?

– California Raises Minimum Wage For Fast-Food Workers:

Authored by Mimi Nguyen Ly via The Epoch Times,

California’s fast-food workers will see a wage boost to $20 per hour due to a legislation signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday.

The wage increase will be effective from April 1, 2024. It will apply to all employees who work at restaurants that have at least 60 locations across the country. However, restaurants that make and sell their own bread don’t have to abide by the new minimum wage.

Putin Crowns New Wagner Chief, Tasked With Sending Fighters Back To Ukraine

– Putin Crowns New Wagner Chief, Tasked With Sending Fighters Back To Ukraine:

The future fate and leadership of PMC Wagner has become clearer on Friday, following the Aug. 23 death of Yevgeny Prigozhin and much of his senior leadership when their private plane went down outside Moscow while en route to St. Petersburg. It is believed that either a bomb was detonated, or it was shot down by an anti-aircraft missile.

The lingering question since then has centered on who will take command of Wagner, and whether it will remain a private entity, or possibly be broken apart. Those questions appear to have been at least partially answered with Putin’s Friday Kremlin meeting with Andrei Troshev, among the most senior ex-commanders of the Wagner mercenary group and former aide to Prigozhin.

“President Putin asked Mr Troshev to oversee volunteer fighter units in Ukraine,” the Kremlin said, in the clearest indicator to date that Wagner fighters will be returning to the Ukraine battlefield in large numbers.

Importantly, the Kremlin also confirmed that Troshev now works for the defense ministry, according to spokesman Dmitry Peskov, and will coordinate reintegration of Wagner fighters with Russia’s armed forces on a voluntary basis.

Government Prepares Employees For Shutdown As Congress Rolls Out Last Ditch (DOA) Stopgaps

– Government Prepares Employees For Shutdown As Congress Rolls Out Last Ditch (DOA) Stopgaps:

The House and the Senate are both rolling out versions of a Continuing Resolution (CR) stopgap which would stave off a government shutdown. The problem is that there’s no chance either chamber will pass the other’s proposal.

The House plan, dubbed the Spending Reduction and Border Security Act, would extend funding through the end of October, but also includes spending cuts of around 30% – with the exemptions of national defense, the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security, and for funding designated disaster relief, The Hill reports.

No Democrats are expected to vote for the House measure, meaning Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) can only lose four Republicans if the full house is in attendance – which McCarthy might not even have, as at least four House Republicans have gone on record opposing any short-term spending measure.

The House Rules Committee will consider the legislation Friday morning before a floor vote.

And if the House bill does pass, it will be dead-on-arrival in the Senate, which will lead to a shutdown.

Too Little Too Late? Europe Finally Realizes Mass Immigration Is Destroying Them

– Too Little Too Late? Europe Finally Realizes Mass Immigration Is Destroying Them:

In 2014 Europe was under siege, with millions of African and Arab migrants marching into the EU and using asylum claims to quickly enter the region without vetting.  With the union facing an unprecedented surge of foreigners not seen since WWII or the collapse of Yugoslavia, some among the public called the event a crisis.  EU officials did not see it that way.  Instead of securing their borders and repelling the invasion, top representatives like Angela Merkel announced they would open their borders completely to migrants and refugees in 2015.

Many migrants were given the impression that free housing, welfare and easy employment would be made available to them upon arrival in Germany.  The reality was far more complicated, but the image of a golden land of ease was all that was needed to trigger a tidal wave.  With shared border policies in the EU, Germany’s decision became every other nation’s problem.

At the time, the decidedly socialist European majority applauded the move; with many leftists meeting migrants at train stations to clap and cheer.  To grasp the mentality of the political left it’s important to understand that they were not cheering the migrants so much as cheering themselves – Leftists have been conditioned to believe in original sin, and that original sin is to be a white “colonizing” westerner.  They were really cheering themselves; they saw open borders as an act of self sacrifice and appeasement to the gods of progressive ideology.

The result has been disastrous.

A Third Of All Workers Say They’d Quit Or Find A New Job If They Were Asked To Return To The Office

– A Third Of All Workers Say They’d Quit Or Find A New Job If They Were Asked To Return To The Office:

If the UAW strikes haven’t proven to you that workers want to do less, for more money, perhaps this new survey will.

A new study published by FinanceBuzz this week revealed that more than 1/3rd of all remote workers would quit or find a new job if they were asked to come back into the office. Has anybody told these coddled millennials that the pandemic – and the buffet of excuses that go with it – is over?

For the survey, FinanceBuzz surveyed 1,000 U.S. adults in August 2023. Only people who indicated they have a remote or hybrid (partially remote, partially in-office) job were allowed to respond, the report says.

North Korea Enshrines “Permanent” Nuclear Power Status In Constitution

– North Korea Enshrines “Permanent” Nuclear Power Status In Constitution:

On Thursday North Korean state media quoted leader Kim Jong Un as saying more advanced atomic weapons are needed to counter the threat from the United States.

This signals the death knell for Washington’s long stated policy goal of denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, given that the remarks came as Kim enshrined the DPRK’s status as a permanent nuclear power in its constitution.

North Korea’s “nuclear force-building policy has been made permanent as the basic law of the state, which no one is allowed to flout,” Kim told the State People’s Assembly, according to state-run KCNA.
