Highlights of the News

ITEM 1: CNBC reported, "I tried McDonald’s new adult Happy Meal—here’s why I won’t be getting it again."

Nicolas Vega wrote, "But after trying it, I mostly felt like I had been ripped off.

"The large Cactus Plant Flea Market box cost $12.89 before tax at my closest McDonald’s location in New York City. That’s $2.60 more than the $10.29 I’d pay for the large Big Mac meal, which contains the exact same amount of food.

"The only differences justifying the $2.60 upcharge — nearly enough money to add an extra McDouble to my order — are the plastic toy and the cardboard box the order comes in."

So, at age 28, a business reporter learns there is no such thing as a free toy.

Wait until he learns those "sea monkeys" are not real monkeys.

ITEM 2: Crime Research reported, "Massive errors in the FBI’s Active Shooting Reports regarding cases where civilians stop attacks: Instead of 4.4%, the correct number is at least 34.4%. In 2021, it is at least 49.1%. Excluding gun-free zones, it averaged over 50%."

The government works for the government. We cannot have citizens stopping shootings. Why, they might believe the police don't need a SWAT team to protect them.

ITEM 3: This is your economy on Donald Trump: 

"Why the Dow topped 30,000 for the first time."

It was at 18,000 when we elected him.

This is your economy under Biden:

"Stocks extended their losses on Thursday, with the Dow finishing back below 30,000 and just off session lows. Both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 settled in the red as well, with higher-than-expected jobless claims tamping down optimism in the wake of an early week rally."

Any questions?

ITEM 4: WaPo reported, "Federal agents see chargeable tax, gun-purchase case against Hunter Biden.

"Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a Trump appointee, must decide whether to charge the son of the current president."

Apparently bribes are taxable even when they are paid in hookers and blow.

ITEM 5: There are no good guys in the Russo-Ukraine War.

When I first read about that, I thought it was a hoax or taken out of context, but no, that's exactly what he's saying. Calling for a nuclear first strike against Russia. https://t.co/0D0XNuvonX pic.twitter.com/6HabXXTGyh

Just remember, this is the fellow who got Democrats to impeach Trump.

ITEM 6: Based Politics said, "In many ways, Rep. Ro Khanna is a far-left progressive. But the California Democrat also happens to be honest, and more prone to moments of genuine introspection than most in his party. Such was the case when Khanna appeared on Fox News on Sunday and acknowledged one of the biggest causes of our inflation woes that—because it’s politically inconvenient—most Democrats have refused to admit."

He likely will run to replace Feinstein in two years.

He said, "I agree that there’s inflation, prices are up… there are two reasons for that. First, the Federal Reserve had quantitative easing for way too long and that was one of the main, primary culprits of this. They didn’t anticipate the inflation, monetary policy is largely determined by the Fed."

QE was used to fix the 2008-2009 recession. Government cures usually lead to something worse.

ITEM 7: Speaking of the 2008-2009 recession, NYT reported, "Bank of America Tests No-Down-Payment Mortgages in Black and Hispanic Neighborhoods.

"The pilot program aims to help first-time buyers in several neighborhoods obtain affordable loans."

We've already proven that Teenage Mutant NINJA Mortgages don't work. Cost us $700 billion to fix.

ITEM 8: AP reported, "President Joe Biden is pardoning thousands of Americans convicted of simple possession of marijuana under federal law, as his administration takes a dramatic step toward decriminalizing the drug and addressing charging practices that disproportionately impact people of color."

There go all of Kamala's prosecutions.

(Yes, she prosecuted state laws, not federal. It's called a joke.)

ITEM 8: Syracuse.com reported, "A federal judge in Syracuse has blocked enforcement of several parts of New York’s broad new gun law.

"On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Glenn Suddaby ruled that several provisions of the state’s new gun law are unconstitutional and cannot be enforced.

"He delayed the implementation of his decision for three business days, to allow the state to seek an appeals court’s ruling. Suddaby’s temporary restraining order is in effect until at least an Oct. 20 motion briefing in his court."

Bush 43 judge.

ITEM 9: MSN reported, "Saudi Arabia is raising oil prices for the US market again, while lowering them for Europe and leaving them largely unchanged for Asia."

That happens when you call a head of state a murderer.

ITEM 10: AP reported, "A U.S. senator is pressing the FBI for more information after a whistleblower alleged that an internal review found 665 FBI personnel have resigned or retired to avoid accountability in misconduct probes over the past two decades."

Retiring to avoid prosecution? It doesn't work that way for civilians. 

ITEM 11: Arizona's senatorial debate was interesting.

Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly: "I've been focused on the border since day one."@bgmasters: "We have a wide open southern border, so if that's the best you can do, I respectfully request you resign." 🔥🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/lKxpaL9ZGY

In Georgia, people who demand abortion are upset because people who would ban it won't ostracize Herschel Walker over an abortion that may or may not have happened.

This is the dumbest attack since Hillary the Cuck Clinton got upset because Donald Trump said "pussy" in private.

ITEM 12: Casey Harper reported, "A coalition of 130 lawmakers sent a letter to a top federal watchdog raising the alarm about a spike in foreign ownership of U.S. farmland.

"The letter calls for the Government Accountability Office to conduct a full review of that foreign ownership, its potential impact on trade, national security, food security and what the federal government is doing about it, if anything.

"The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that foreign investment in agricultural land in the U.S. nearly doubled from 2010 to 2020."

We never should have allowed Red China into the World Trade Organizations.

ITEM 13: The New York Post reported, "Ukrainians plan apocalyptic orgy in event of Putin launching nuke."

A new spin on kiss your ass goodbye.

ITEM 14: Today in Groomer News.

Rachel Queen Burton, an Australian #trans TikTok star, has been charged with eight child sex abuse offenses in Adelaide. On Thursday, prosecutors asked for the case to be adjourned for 10 weeks to allow prosecutors to further do an electronic analysis of her laptop. pic.twitter.com/oakzVVOcMr

Transgender rights are as follows: the right to vote, the right to serve on a jury and the right to own a gun. They have no more a right to access children in public schools than Christian preachers.

ITEM 15: Wide receiver Tyreek Hill revealed why he signed with the Miami Dolphins instead of the New York Jets.

Taxes.

The Jets play in New Jersey.

He told reporters, "Just those state taxes man. You know, I had to realize I had to make a grown-up decision. And now here I am in the great city of Miami. You know, great weather, great people. Beautiful people, I feel like. So here I am."

Florida has no state income tax. New Jersey's top income tax rate is 10.75%.

ITEM 16: Becker News reported, "The New York Times is prepping the terrain for another FBI raid of Donald Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago for missing documents that the Department of Justice is apparently seeking."

Democrats must be tanking in the polls again.

ITEM 17: Bob Hoge with the headline of the day, "Oops, Electric Vehicles Are Exploding After Water Damage from Hurricane Ian."

So in addition to having to deal with the damage from the hurricane, Floridians are going to have to deal with exploding electric vehicles.

FINALLY, the New York Post reported, "A Democrat mayor in Texas has bused more than twice as many migrants to the Big Apple as the state’s Republican governor — without a peep of outrage from Mayor Eric Adams.

"El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser’s relocation program has sent 7,330 migrants to New York City since August 23, a spokesperson said Thursday."

We should send them back where they came from.
