Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) gave away the neocon playbook Sunday, admitting that the U.S. must win the Ukraine proxy war against Russia to control Ukraine’s vast resources worth trillions of dollars.

“They’re sitting on 10-12 trillion dollars of critical minerals in Ukraine. They could be the richest country in all of Europe,” Graham said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

“I don’t want to give that money and those assets to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to share with China.”

Editor's Note: This is what always follows when Libtards and RINOs push destructive, virtue-signaling policies in the name of "helping you."  It almost always results in the exact opposite outcome they promised.  They claim they are providing a "living wage" when in reality they ensured that THOUSANDS now receive NO WAGE AT ALL!

Restaurants across the state of California have cut at least 10,000 jobs since Democrat lawmakers mandated a $20 minimum wage, according to a major trade group.

According to the California Business and Industrial Alliance (CABIA), thousands of restaurant workers have lost their positions as businesses are forced to cut labor costs and raise their prices in order to survive.

The New York Post reports:

The California Business and Industrial Alliance (CABIA) slammed  Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom for pushing through the law, which went into effect April 1 – and was blamed for forcing one beloved taco chain to shutter 48 locations in the state last week.

What’s it like to work for Jeff Bezos? Here’s an account from someone who sells for him.

This documentary will show you how Amazon uses its size and power to raise prices, for you, the consumer. The documentary follows four sellers on Amazon, two in Europe, two in the US, and their journey to survive on the platform. It begins with an explanation of Amazon's pricing policies and the complex way Amazon enforces them and then finishes with how Amazon monitors and copies its sellers' products. Watch this foundational beginning section carefully and your mind will be blown later in the documentary when you see what goes on behind the scenes, when you click buy. This is an extremely important documentary. Amazon responds to fair criticism and it is my hope, that with your support that we can change Amazon's policies. So sellers can set their own prices. And so you can pay less when you shop online.

Due to the Biden administration’s significant funding boost, the Internal Revenue Service plans to dramatically increase audit procedures for big corporations, partnerships, and multimillionaires over the next three years.

In a recent press release, the IRS said it aims to nearly triple its audit rate to 22.6% for corporations with upwards of $250 million worth of assets in the 2026 tax year.

Audits in 2019 were 8.8%, a steep increase over the 9.0% in 2018.

The European Parliament has approved a directive that will severely limit the use of cash. 

Under the directive, ostensibly aimed at curbing money laundering and the funding of terrorism, anonymous cash payments over €3,000 will be banned in commercial transactions. In business transactions, cash payments over €10,000 will be completely banned. Anonymous payments in cryptocurrencies will also be completely banned. 

“Under the guise of combating money laundering, you are actually waging a war against cash which has protected our financial privacy since time immemorial,” said German Pirate Party MEP Partick Breyer—one of the few opponents of the measure—during the plenary session.

One of the most overlooked financial burdens on the American medical system is the unpaid medical bills coming directly from illegal immigrants. Illegal border crossings surpassed 3.2 million in 2023 — a record high.

According to Customs and Border Protection data, apprehensions of illegal aliens have nearly tripled since 2019. These illegal aliens are people who oftentimes have serious medical needs, but have little to no financial resources. Illegal immigration burdens state Medicaid programs and uses up charities at an unsustainable pace.

This is not the first time we've heard of banks engaging in shady practices concerning Americans' civil liberties. Remember the feds asking banks to look into purchases of things like Bibles, and Bank of America -- who we will talk about here -- gave the FBI a list of anyone who made a transaction in DC between January 5-7, 2021.

Now they've shut down the accounts of John Eastman, a former attorney of President Trump: both Bank of America and USAA, for reasons unknown.

The Bank of America is being warned, in a letter from authorities in 15 states, to start treating customers fairly.

Or face consequences.

The issue is described in a letter, authored by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach and joined by many others, to bank chief Brian Moynihan.

It’s over the bank’s practice of “de-banking,” or simply shutting down the accounts and banking rights, of various people and groups with whom to bank disagrees.

The letter, bearing the signatures of officers from Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Virginia, too, calls on Moynihan to deliver, within 30 days, a report about his “account-cancellation policies and practices,” his “risk tolerance,” “reputational risk,” “hate” and “intolerance perspectives, and “whether Bank of America considers a customer’s speech or religious exercise—or public perception or other groups’ perception of them—as a component of those policies.”

The letter told Moynihan, “It is nearly impossible to function today as an individual, family, or organization without a bank account, a credit card, and the ability to obtain a loan. Federal and state governments recognize the necessity of these kinds of financial services, which is why they have passed numerous laws to prohibit various types of discrimination in the past. It is also why national banks like yours receive bailouts and many other privileges, courtesy of the American taxpayers.”

The great European Farmers’ Revolt is still ongoing, with agricultural producers mobilizing in an unprecedented scale in most countries.

The demands from the food producers is pretty much the same all over, and it centers around the failed, crippling green environmental policies, emanating from Brussels, that threaten their subsistence and may also cause food insecurity and a major manufactured famine.

But some countries have an additional sticking beef: the cheap, low quality unregulated Ukrainian grain flowing through their borders

This week, two of its neighbors, Hungary and Poland, saw developments in the battle against this economic invasion.
