Murderess Taylor Schabusiness is told she will die in jail
A married woman who killed and dismembered her ex-boyfriend in a meth-fuelled attack has been sentenced to life without parole for the twisted slaying.
Taylor Schabusiness, 25, appeared to smile beneath the large white mask as she appeared in Brown County Circuit Court in a prison-issued orange jumpsuit with handcuffs around her wrists.
Judge Thomas Walsh handed her the life sentence for the murder of Shad Thyrion, 24, who she choked with a chain in February 2022 before beheading him and chopping up his body.
Government sues Amazon for allegedly quashing competition
The attorneys general of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Wisconsin joined the lawsuit.
The lawsuit alleges that Amazon’s current competitors are prevented from growing and new competitors are unable to emerge.
Amazon has continued to report soaring revenues. In the second quarter of 2023, Amazon reported $134.4 billion in net sales, an 11% increase over the year before.
In 2022, the company reported $514 billion in net sales, a 9% increase compared to 2021. Prior to last year, Amazon’s net sales grew by 18% in 2021 and 30% in 2020.
The complaint alleges that Amazon punishes sellers that may sell their products for a lower price at other outlets by burying their products on the website.
The complaint also alleges that sellers are conditioned to obtain Prime eligibility to use Amazon’s costly fulfillment service.
ACLU accused of firing employee for speaking up about work conditions
According to a complaint filed with the NLRB and obtained by Bloomberg, the terminated employee had been complaining about wages, hours and working conditions from 2020 up until May 2022.
“The ACLU flatly disputes these allegations and remains confident on the merits of its case,” a spokesperson for the organization said Monday in a statement to Bloomberg.
The ACLU argued the worker was “terminated for just cause” and the case should be handled through the organization’s arbitration process, according to the filing.
Bloomberg said the fired staffer was represented by the union ACLU Staff United, which the ACLU voluntarily recognized in 2021.
Over 1,000 school districts allow teachers to hide transgender status of students from their guardians, parents’ group claims
Parents’ rights group Parents Defending Education released a list of what it says are over 1,000 school districts where teachers can keep information regarding a child’s gender confusion hidden from parents.
The list, which the group says is not comprehensive, details 1,044 school districts in the United States that have “Transgender/Gender Nonconforming Policies that openly state that district personnel can or should keep a student’s transgender status hidden from parents.”
The districts total 18,331 schools teaching a whopping 10.7 million students.
Wisconsin: Transgender Man Who Raped Daughter Forced on Female Inmates
Mark Campbell began serving a 34-year sentence in 2007 for raping his ten-year-old daughter and has since been registered as a violent sex offender for first-degree sexual assault.
However, in 2013, he began identifying as a woman named Nicole and underwent hormone treatment.
The Wisconsin Department of Corrections later allowed him to be categorized as “female” after a series of legal battles in which he fought to have taxpayer-funded transition surgery.
Per the Federalist:
In 2013, he requested a surgical operation to mutilate his male sexual organs to appear more female, and was initially declined for not meeting prerequisites.
In 2016, Campbell sued the Department of Corrections for not allowing him to undergo the procedure, claiming it was an Eighth Amendment violation. In 2019, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that “clearly established law did not require Wisconsin prison officials to provide Campbell with gender-dysphoria treatment beyond hormone therapy.”
But as of December 2020, “a federal judge ruled that Wisconsin must offer Campbell taxpayer-funded transition surgery and move him to a women’s prison while awaiting that surgery,” according to reporting from The Daily Signal.
U.S. District Judge James Peterson even went as far as to argue that Campbell has been “in anguish” due to his “gender dysphoria” not being acknowledged by the state. In 2022, the women’s prison Fond du Lac began housing him with female inmates.
Retailers lost $112B in organized crime wave: ‘Unprecedented levels of theft’
Organized crime rings in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Houston are targeting retail inventories, causing more financial loss, according to a report by the National Retail Federation, a trade group representing US retailers.
Big-box retailers such as Target and Kroger as well as dollar stores have sounded caution over increasing inventory theft and organized retail crime that could worsen this year’s headwinds from weakening consumer demand.
“Retailers are seeing unprecedented levels of theft coupled with rampant crime in their stores, and the situation is only becoming more dire,” said NRF Vice President for Asset Protection and Retail Operations David Johnston.
Retailers are either being forced to close a specific store location, reduce operating hours or alter in-store product selection to deal with the spike in retail crime, the report added.
‘Fresh Meat Productions’: Feds Grant Taxpayer Dollars To Trans Dance Group With ‘Saucy’ Name
The National Endowment for the Arts earmarked $35,000 for an all-queer and trans dance group called “Fresh Meat Productions” to support a tour of their work and “related community engagement activities,” according to a list of grants published by the agency.
Sean Dorsey, a biological female who identifies as a man and was called “America’s first acclaimed transgender modern dance choreographer” by the San Francisco Bay Times, leads the NEA-funded performance company.
The NEA’s grant database describes the dancing it funds as work that “imagines transgender and queer futures through contemporary dance, grand-scale costuming that will double as set and visual elements and physical theater.”
Dorsey praised Fresh Meat’s government-funded dancing, saying that “dreaming is a political act” and “inviting us all to dream at a time when transgender communities are living in a state of emergency is powerful: we cannot forge the change we want without dreaming of it first,” according to the Bay Times.
Texas Troopers Remove Venezuelan Flag Planted by Migrants on Border River Island
Texas DPS spokesman Lieutenant Chris Olivarez posted a video on X showing a Venezuelan flag planted by migrants on a small island in the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass, Texas. DPS Marine Unit troopers quickly responded to the island and tore down the flag.
“Some [Venezuelan migrants] decided to claim a #Texas island by placing a foreign flag – that was quickly taken care of by our DPS Tactical Marine Unit. #DontMessWithTexas,” Olivarez wrote.
Most of the migrants currently entering the Eagle Pass area of operations are reported to be Venezuelan, according to a source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Republican Reps Demand Solutions to Migrant Crisis in Looming Budget Battle
After the day’s border tour, Congressman Gonzales told reporters, “Now more than ever, Congress needs to pass a strong budget that puts a stop to Biden’s open-borders agenda. This should not be a partisan issue.”
“My message is clear – end catch and release, stop using asylum as a hall pass, and put our Border Patrol Agents back on the frontlines,” the Texas congressman stated.
Breitbart Texas spoke to Representative Arrington, who says the problems at the border involve a misuse of authority from top to bottom. Regarding the use of humanitarian parole to admit more than 1,400 migrants daily to pursue asylum through land ports of entry, Arrington called the practice “de facto amnesty.”
“There are no consequences for crossing the border illegally and that is why we have 10,000 crossings daily,” the congressman from Lubbock, Texas added.
Expressing concern with Congress’ ability to address the problem, Arrington says the states may have to lean in on the issue while the budget battle in Washington, D.C. continues.
“We need to support the states, like Texas, that are trying to stop this,” Arrington explained. “Negotiating with (Senator) Chuck Schumer and President Biden is not going to get us as much as we need.”
“Congress is broken. It’s hard to have any hope they’re going to do much about the border crisis,” Arrington said, “but we are going to push and use the power of the purse.”
On Monday, as the delegation toured the border city of Eagle Pass, nearly 1,800 migrants would pour into the border city by days end. As reported by Breitbart Texas, almost 1,400 migrants made landfall on the U.S. bank of the Rio Grande in the heart of downtown.

Armed robber in Seattle arrested after allegedly trying to take officer’s gun during scuffle: bodycam video
Seattle Police said in a news release. Police bodycam video shows the officers confronting the armed suspect inside the store.
“Lay on the ground now! Don’t grab the gun!” one officer yells as he enters the gas station store.
As the officers approach the suspect, the video shows that he jumps up from the ground and tries to flee the store.
Security cameras at the store captured the scuffle spilling outside into the parking lot.
Chino Valley public schools have one of the highest rates of teacher shortages in the area, she claimed.
Kristi Hirst is a parent and former teacher in the Chino Valley Unified School District [“CVUSD”], and co-founder of Our Schools USA. Hirst’s group joined teachers unions, civil rights groups, and Democratic leadership in the state to oppose a parental notification policy passed by her school district this past July.
The policy would require staff to inform parents if a student identified as transgender.
Hirst told FOX News Digital she formed the group last February in response to the “continuous attacks on public schools.”
She explained parents in the district are unhappy with the direction the local school board is heading. These policies “break down” the trust between parents and educators, she said.
Chino Valley public schools have one of the highest rates of teacher shortages in the area, she claimed.
State trooper abused power after forcing ex-girlfriend into mental hospital: DA
A married Pennsylvania state trooper was arrested after allegedly falsely committing his ex-girlfriend to a mental health facility and assaulting the woman, prosecutors announced.
“I know you’re not crazy, I’ll paint you as crazy,” state trooper Ronald Davis, 37, allegedly told his ex, only identified as M.F. by prosecutors, leading up to her being falsely committed to a mental health program.
After receiving advice from other officers, he contacted county leaders using his trooper email when he was off-duty and claimed his ex was suicidal and was seeking an order to have her committed.
He obtained the order and set out to take the woman to the facility before other troopers reached her, according to court documents.
“I’ll take care of it myself,” he reportedly said.

Key details behind Nord Stream pipeline blasts revealed by scientists
The newly discovered events, named NB and NC, took place about seven seconds and 16 seconds after the event previously known as Event N, which they now refer to as NA.
Investigations by Denmark, Sweden and Germany are understood to be planned for publication in a joint study with Norsar. Authorities for all three countries declined to comment on the investigations.
In July, the UN security council heard investigators had found traces of undersea explosives in samples from a yacht, but that they were unable to reliably establish the identity or motives of those involved or whether it was the work of a specific country.
Using information from a number of seismic stations in northern Europe and Germany, including the Swedish National Seismic Network and the Danish stations on Bornholm, seismologists used advanced analysis techniques to observe the additional two explosions.
According to their calculations, the second and third explosions (NA and NB) were 220 metres apart from each other (with the third west of the second) and the fourth was several kilometres south-west of the second.
Canadian parliament speaker resigns after honoring Ukrainian Nazi veteran
Canadian House Speaker Anthony Rota stepped down on Tuesday after a Nazi veteran was his invited guest at a speech by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.
The invitation has faced widespread condemnation.
Rota apologized on Monday for the presence of 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka at Zelensky’s address to Canadian lawmakers on Friday, but refused to resign.
Although lawmakers from all parties – including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau – cheered and applauded Hunka at the event, calls for Rota’s resignation grew over the weekend as the incident drew worldwide attention, particularly from the governments of Russia and Poland.
South Korea parades weapons in its biggest Armed Forces Day in years
South Korea paraded thousands of troops and an array of weapons capable of striking North Korea through its capital as part of its biggest Armed Forces Day ceremony in 10 years on Tuesday, as its president vowed to build a stronger military to thwart any provocation by the North.
Concerns are growing that North Korea is seeking Russian help in expanding its nuclear arsenal in return for supplying Moscow with conventional arms exhausted by its war with Ukraine.
Earlier, South Korea rolled tanks, artillery systems, drones and powerful ballistic missiles capable of hitting all of North Korea through the streets of Seoul, amid steady autumn rains.
About 4,000 South Korean troops carrying rifles or flags followed them, accompanied by about 300 U.S. soldiers, in the first such military parade since 2013.

Poland Considers War Crimes Extradition for WWII Nazi Applauded by Trudeau and Zelensky
The Polish government is taking steps to examine the case for extraditing a 98-year-old former SS trooper from Canada, it has said in a letter to the Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation.
State Minister for Education and Science Przemysław Czarnek wrote to the President of the Commission to examine whether it held documents indicating that Canadian resident Yaroslav Hunka was wanted for crimes against Polish and Jewish people relating to his time as a soldier with the Waffen-SS in the Second World War.
If there is evidence against Hunka, Czarnek wrote, this would constitute grounds for Poland to apply to the Canadian government to extradite the man for prosecution.
Yaroslav Hunka, a Ukrainian who moved to Canada after the Second World War, hit major public prominence in the past week after he was introduced to the Canadian Parliament during a special session attended by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a “Ukrainian hero, Canadian hero” who had “fought [for] Ukrainian independence against the Russians”. This warm introduction led to Hunka enjoying two standing ovations, including whoops and cheers from the floor.
What was not mentioned at the time, however, is that Hunka fought “against the Russians” as part of a Nazi unit in the Waffen-SS recruited from ethnic Ukrainians.
But critics pointed out this information was available from a simple Google search, and indeed that it is common knowledge that those fighting against the Soviets in Eastern Europe at the end of the Second World War would generally be doing so in collaboration with Nazi Germany.
British Police Open Sex Crimes Investigation into Russell Brand Following Accusations of Rape, Sexual Misconduct
The police force reportedly didn’t name Brand in its statement, but referred to the recent articles and documentary. It said detectives were investigating allegations of “non-recent” sexual offenses, both in London and elsewhere.
All of Brand’s accusers have so far remained anonymous and pseudonymous, with one opting to use the name “Alice.”
Brand, who has denied the allegations, recently said he will air his show on the free speech platform Rumble, where he has vowed to continue criticizing the deep state, media corruption, big pharma, and the military-industrial complex.
Rumble has become the home for pundits including Glenn Greenwald and former Hawaii Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.
Because of its more permissive content moderation, corporate news media have tried to smear Rumble as “far-right.”
In fact, establishment journalists are now trying to pressure advertisers into pulling their ads from Rumble in the apparent hopes of tanking the platform.
Since the allegations broke, Brand has faced Silicon Valley’s familiar playbook to de-platform and censor him. Even the British government tried to get Brand kicked off Rumble — an effort that the platform roundly rejected, in contrast to YouTube, which has demonetized Brand’s account.
London’s Gatwick Airport imposes daily flight limit amid COVID-19 outbreak
Gatwick Airport, London’s second-busiest, is limiting flights this week, partly because of an outbreak of COVID-19 within air traffic control.
In a statement late Monday, the airport said a daily 800-flight limit, affecting both departures and arrivals, has been imposed until Sunday.
Gatwick said around 30% of staff in the division within air traffic control are off sick for a variety of reasons, including COVID-19.
It said the daily cap will prevent last-minute cancellations and delays for passengers while National Air Traffic Services, or NATS, gets back to normal.
Moderna’s mRNA COVID-19 Vax Linked to 3-5 Fold Risk of Unexpected Bleeding in Both Non-Menstruating Peri-and Premenopausal Women
A large public study in Norway finds women who don’t menstruate — including postmenopausal women and those on contraceptives — were several times more likely to experience unexpected vaginal bleeding after COVID-19 vaccination than before the vaccines were offered. The study was recently published in Science Advances.
TrialSite has during the pandemic reported on other studies finding abnormal levels of bleeding associated with non-menstruating women.
Based in Norway, the study was led by Kristine Blix at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health in Oslo.
The investigators sought to better understand the impact of the global COVID-19 vaccine rollout in this Scandinavian nation on women who typically don’t have normal periods which can include persons on contraceptives or those women actually going through menopause.
Blix and team tapped into the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort study to better understand COVID-19 vaccine impacts.
Anti-Covid drug may have led to virus mutations: study
For the study, which was published in the journal Nature, the researchers sifted through databases of more than 15 million genome sequences of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the Covid disease.
The researchers used this data to track changes in how the virus mutated during the pandemic, finding signs of a particular “mutational signature” in patients they believe is linked to molnupiravir.
In 2022, as the drug was prescribed in huge numbers, there was a significant increase in patients who had this mutational signature, the study found.
This signature was more commonly found in countries where the drug was widely prescribed, such as the United States, UK, Australia and Japan.
But in countries where it was not approved, including Canada and France, it was rarer.
Merck refuted the study, saying the researchers had relied on “circumstantial associations” between where and when the sequences were taken.

Adam Schiff Caught Funneling Millions in Tax Dollars to Defense Contractors He Took Donations From
The 12-term congressman is currently running for a Senate seat and is campaigning on a platform of earmarks for local causes.
However, an investigation by Politico has busted Schiff steering millions in tax dollars to for-profit defense contractors who he took donations from.
“A review of congressional earmarks and political contributions found that in addition to the money for homelessness and drug treatment, Schiff also steered millions to for-profit companies and raised tens of thousands for his House reelection campaigns from corporate executives and people connected to them,” the report reveals.
“The review was mostly limited to publicly available data from the brief three-year window when corporate earmarks were disclosed.”
In two particularly egregious cases, Schiff channeled millions in funding to Smiths Detection and Phasebridge, Inc., two defense companies within his district – with $6 million steered to Smiths Detection and $3 million to Phasebridge.
Both moves would have been barred under reforms adopted in 2010.
White House: We’re Unilaterally Getting Money for Climate Corps Congress Opposed, Have Used War Power on Climate
During an interview with NPR’s “Here and Now,” White House National Climate Adviser Ali Zaidi responded to a question on where the White House is getting money for the American Climate Corps given that money for the idea was taken out of the Inflation Reduction Act by stating that the plan “was a good idea then and it’s a good idea now.”
And that they’ve used executive action “to bring together the authorities and resources of six different federal agencies,” and also boasted that President Joe Biden has “made sure that we’re using all of the tools of the presidency, whether it’s executive actions to stand up the Climate Corps or his wartime powers with the Defense Production Act” on climate.
Zaidi answered, “Look, that investment was a good idea then and it’s a good idea now. What we’ve been able to do, thanks to the President using his executive authority, is to bring together the authorities and resources of six different federal agencies, coordinate them under one hub, team up with states, and team up with the private sector and philanthropy to get going after this vision. Just last week, we had five additional states step up, now ten total, who are implementing climate corps of their own, all stood up since 2021, since the President took office.”
Zaidi responded, “This President has done more on climate than any President in American history. He’s passed the largest climate investment, not just in the history of the United States, but in the whole world. We’ve conserved more than 20 million acres, more than any other President at this time in office. He’s made sure that we’re using all of the tools of the presidency, whether it’s executive actions to stand up the Climate Corps or his wartime powers with the Defense Production Act. So, he’s following through on his campaign commitments.”
Report: House Panel to Vote on Releasing Further Relevant Hunter Biden Info
The committee must vote on whether to release the information because of taxpayer secrecy laws. While it is unknown what specific information could be voted on, Politico reported the information has to do with IRS whistleblower disclosures.
Hunter Biden launched a lawsuit last week against the IRS, alleging its agents improperly disclosed information to congressional investigators. “This assault on Mr. Biden’s rights involved the public disclosure of his confidential tax information during more than 20 nationally televised and non-congressionally sanctioned interviews and numerous public statements,” the lawsuit states.
Wednesday’s reported vote to publicly disclose more information about Hunter Biden would come just one day before the House Oversight Committee holds its first impeachment inquiry hearing.
The hearing’s witnesses are Professor Jonathan Turley of George Washington University Law School; Eileen O’Connor, former Assistant Attorney General of the United States Department of Justice Tax Division; and Bruce Dubinsky of Dubinsky Consulting, a forensic accountant expert.
Trump Lawyers File 25-Page Objection Demanding Gag Order Be Rejected: ‘Biden Attempting To Silence Most Prominent Opponent’
On Monday, leading 2024 presidential candidate and 45th President Donald Trump’s lawyers filed a late-night 25-page objection arguing that a proposed gag order by prosecutors is an unconstitutional attempt by President Joe Biden to “silence his most prominent political opponent.”
“Following these efforts to poison President Trump’s defense, the prosecution now asks the Court to take the extraordinary step of stripping President Trump of his First Amendment freedoms during the most important months of his campaign against President Biden,” Trump attorneys Gregory Singer, John Lauro, and Todd Blanche wrote in the late-night filing.
“The Court should reject this transparent gamesmanship and deny the motion entirely,” the filing adds.
“The proposed gag order is nothing more than an obvious attempt by the Biden Administration to unlawfully silence its most prominent political opponent, who has now taken a commanding lead in the polls,” the filings read.
‘Ridiculous situation’: NYC to spend $1b on hotels to shelter illegal migrants
Sky News host Caleb Bond says New York City’s plans to extend its contract with local hotels to house illegal migrants is a “ridiculous situation”.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams estimates the total cost of this program to be more than $12 billion.
Back from the Dead: Senate Democrats Urge FCC to Reinstate ‘Net Neutrality’
The FCC has had an extended 2-2 deadlock between Republican and Democrat commissioners until this month, due to the White House’s repeated failed attempts to confirm a partisan progressive, Gigi Sohn, to the agency.
The administration eventually relented, withdrawing Sohn’s nomination and submitting a new candidate, Anna Gomez, who was confirmed by a Senate vote earlier this month.
Democrats in the Senate are now urging the FCC, with its new Democrat majority, to revive an old hobby-horse of the party: Title II regulations on internet service providers, a measure progressives call “net neutrality.”
The letter’s signatories include Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Cory Brooker (D-NJ), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), and Mazie Hirono (D-HI) among others.
The regulations were in place for one year under President Obama, before being undone under President Trump early in his administration.
Republicans open probe into Biden’s energy secretary after police called on her EV road trip
Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., and Oversight Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs Chairman Pat Fallon, R-Texas, informed Granholm in a letter Tuesday morning that they were investigating the June road trip which they said was aimed to “boost the charade of the effectiveness of green energy.”
“This taxpayer-funded publicity stunt illustrates yet again how out of touch the Biden Administration is with the consequences of policies it has unleashed on everyday Americans,” Comer and Fallon wrote to Granholm.
Earlier this month, reports surfaced that, during Granholm’s four-day EV road trip from North Carolina to Tennessee, Energy Department staffers used a car with an internal combustion engine to block off an EV charger for the secretary outside a Walmart in Grovetown, Georgia.
One family, angered that they were forced by a gas-powered vehicle to wait to use a charger, ultimately called the police to report the incident.
Biden admin facing heat for outsourcing climate policy to foreign NGO linked to dark money
“The choice of SBTi is not the only concern this Committee has with this proposed rule. Because of its poor drafting, it has multiple practical, financial, and national security issues,” he continued. “For instance, ceding this authority to a foreign entity means that we cannot verify that SBTi’s processes are based in sound science. We will have very little oversight of the decisions being made.”
According to Obernolte, the White House failed to conduct a competitive selection process before choosing SBTi to assess federal contractors’ emissions targets under the proposed rule.
And documents shared to the committee by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) suggested SBTi leaders met just twice with the White House and didn’t submit any documentation before it was selected.
Further, he questioned the constitutionality of the rulemaking which, he said delegates a “quasi-government regulatory authority” to SBTi.
Matt Gaetz Tells House To Withhold His Pay During Government Shutdown
The Daily Caller first obtained a copy of the letter, which comes as government is set to shutdown at midnight on Sunday, October 1st, 2023.
Gaetz has continued to argue that Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy needs to pass separate appropriations bills to keep the government funded and not continue to shell out billions of dollars to Ukraine.
“It is my understanding that pursuant to the Constitution, members of Congress will continue to receive their pay during a lapse in appropriations. Therefore, I am requesting that in the case of a lapse of appropriations beginning at 12:00 a.m. on October 1, 2023, my pay be withheld until legislation has taken effect to end such lapse in appropriations in its entirety,” Gaetz wrote in the letter.

Biden’s Climate Corps, land grabs all part of promoting green tyranny at home and abroad
Additionally, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is in the process of creating a National Marine Sanctuary designation for 770,000 square miles of ocean around remote Pacific islands governed by the United States.
Federal designations like these are key to achieving the 30×30 goal of environmental activists – conserving or permanently protecting 30% of the nation’s land and water by 2030. But Biden isn’t limiting his work to the home front. He has worldwide ambitions for his 30×30 land grab. At the G-20 earlier this month in New Delhi, world leaders issued a joint statement endorsing a similar 30% goal “to achieve land degradation neutrality.”
We don’t have to look far to see the consequences of sweeping changes like these. The New York Times recently profiled Dutch farmers grappling with the fallout from extreme climate policy. Ag producers in the Netherlands are being pushed to shrink herds, shift production and even to shut down their operations forever.
Their stories should serve as a warning to Americans.

Newsom’s longtime ties to Hunter Biden emerge after he justifies his business deals: ‘Here’s my direct email’
California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recent defense of Hunter Biden against allegations of nepotism and shady business deals follows emails from Biden’s infamous laptop showing the president’s son donated thousands of dollars to Newsom’s gubernatorial campaign and lent his name to multiple fundraisers on his behalf.
Newsom, who is expected to attend Wednesday’s GOP debate on behalf of the Biden campaign, brushed off allegations of Hunter Biden’s corrupt business dealings last week, saying it is “hardly unique” for people to use their family members to get ahead.
“I don’t know enough about the details of that. I mean I’ve seen a little of that,” Newsom told CNN’s Dana Bash when asked if Hunter Biden did anything “inappropriate” leveraging his father’s name in his business dealings.
