According to evidence, raising the minimum wage is one sure way of pushing low skilled individuals into even lower paying jobs - American Experiment
"In 2019, we saw the growth of the movement called “the fight for 15”. 
This is a movement that calls for a raise in the federal minimum wage to $15. 
Proponents of the movement claim this is one way to take people out of poverty. 

...Disregarding potential negative effects on businesses that raising the minimum wage poses, there are other issues with claiming that raising the minimum wage takes people out of poverty. 

The main issue is that no evidence shows that raising the minimum wage takes people out of poverty. 
In actuality, raising the minimum wage has been shown to increase the number of people earning less than the minimum wage. 
This is largely due to the fact that job losses associated with higher minimum wage tend to fall on the poor and low skilled...Read all.

She created a fake Twitter persona — then she killed it with COVID-19 - The Verge

"Something was off about the memorial service for the anonymous anthropology professor who’d died of COVID-19. 
For one, only four people showed up. The facilitator of the service, BethAnn McLaughlin, co-founder of the support network MeTooSTEM, had recently been accused of harassment herself. When Michael Eisen, a genetics professor at UC Berkeley, tried to search for information about the anthropologist online, he couldn’t find any. 

Her distinguishing characteristic on Twitter was that she really, really seemed to love McLaughlin.

That made sense, in retrospect, because McLaughlin had fabricated her whole cloth. 
According to a report in The New York Times, since 2016, she’d been posting about sexual harassment in the science community using the Twitter handle @Sciencing_Bi, which she passed off as a Native American professor who’d “fled the south because of their oppression of queer folk.”

Listen To The Scientists-Tony Heller

"We are told every day by the press to listen to the scientists.  
I listen to them very carefully, and that is why I am so concerned about the quality of their work - and what their real agenda is,
This video replaces a previous video, and emphasizes that the scientists say they want people to voluntarily massively reduce their own population. 
For example, for the world to reduce their population by 75%, half of couples would have to agree to having no children, and the other half would have to agree to having one child. 
The scientists will simply travel to Islamic countries and explain to them that 97% of the world's scientists agree that they need to stop having children.  
That should go extremely well."

Straight Outta Marxism: BLM Protesters Take Over Grocery Store to Protest Lack of 'Access' to Grocery Stores

Straight Outta Marxism: BLM Protesters Take Over Grocery Store to Protest Lack of 'Access' to Grocery Stores
Note how many "blacks" and "poor" folks are shutting down the neighborhood grocery store.
Note how quickly the police arrive to clean out the raiders, help the owner, employees, customers. (hint, they ain't)
This can, and will, happen anywhere!

BLM protesters take over a Seattle grocery store to protest lack of access to grocery stores. Photo from Twitter.

At some point, people will get sick of this.

Black Lives Matter activists occupied a Trader Joe’s in Seattle this week, claiming to be protesting “lack of access to grocery stores” and explaining to patrons “how capitalism exploits the working class.”

That “capitalism” line is straight from Marxism. BLM founders do admit to being “trained Marxists.” Their training is trickling down.

Joe Biden Appears to Reflect Teleprompter Text During TV Interview

Joe Biden Appears to Reflect Teleprompter Text During TV Interview:

Joe Biden appeared to accidentally reveal a screen with teleprompter text in front of him during an April television interview, a clip of which went viral Friday.
Biden appearing on CBS’s The Late Late Show months ago, held up a photo of himself posing with his two sons when they were in college, a picture which he said hangs in his bedroom:

Violence is the only way to enforce democrat-socialism.-----Democrat Leaders Encouraged Violence Going Back to Obama

Democrat Leaders Encouraged Violence Going Back to Obama
"...Words are violence, but rioting, looting, and arson are not.
Hectoring, menacing, and crowding supporters of President Trump is shrugged off, but insults to the media are a threat to democracy.
If that sounds insane, it’s because it is...

• ...:Get in their face. This comment came after Obama referred to his grandmother as a “typical white person” who had fears about black men.
• Then he characterized his political opponents as “bitter clingers.”
• In 2009, the Department of Homeland Security put out a baseless memo regarding threats from “right-wing extremists.” To be characterized as such, you simply needed to be organizing against abortion or immigration, or in support of federalism.
• In 2010 Obama refined this characterization by calling Tea Party activists “the teabag anti-government people.”
• His attorney general, Eric Holder, called America a “nation of cowards” on race discussions...Read all!

Biden Says We Need a President Who Tells the Truth? Then Here Are 8 Big Whoppers That Disqualify Him
"Following the manufactured crisis of the leaked audio between President Trump and Bob Woodward, Joe Biden’s social media team had to take a swipe. However, the intern that is running the account decided to blast out some truly mockable posts. If you have been sentient for more than a decade, you may laugh out loud:

We certainly do. The reader must assume that the implication is that Joe Biden is as honest as Abe and will never tell a lie. Once you make that connection, you should collapse into hysterical laughter. The aging septuagenarian has a long history of whoppers. In fact, one cost him the nomination previously.

One has to wonder how many people have or will have to suffer because of Biden’s lies. Here is a quick list of some of the more egregious examples of Biden’s casual relationship with the truth.

1. Biden’s College Years

During a campaign stop in April of 1987, a member of the audience asked him about his academic record. Here is the press coverage from the time:

Note the final comment after Biden had to concede that the account he gave was not correct. He said his memory had failed him. This event was thirty-three years ago, and shortly before he underwent the first of two brain surgeries for a ruptured aneurysm.

U.N. Chooses Teen Prostitution Advocate for Top Human Rights Post

U.N. Chooses Teen Prostitution Advocate for Top Human Rights Post:

The U.N. has tapped a former abortionist and advocate for teen prostitution to its top post of expert on health and human rights.
According to a report at international human rights watchdog organization C-Fam, South African Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng has risen quickly at the U.N., from “sexual health and rights advocate” to the top post of Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health, a role that will give her a global platform to urge the decriminalization of the sex trade.
