You haven't been "in combat for this country" you total fraud @ScottPelley. Like countless other journalists I also have been to war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan on assignment and never in a million years would I pretend that was "combat".
Talk about stolen valor.
4 workers = well over $100 an hour when you include payroll taxes.
Assume each bagel sandwich has a profit margin of MAYBE $3.
You need to sell 33 an hour just to pay labor. That's one every 2 minutes.
Then product cost.
Then rent.
Then insurance.
How many are we up to an hour now?
Only after all of that does the owner realize any money in his or her pocket.
Jewish parents in the West must consider something other families don't: How to give your kid a "normal" college experience.
My friend chose the least-hostile college for her teen. I sent mine to Israel.
Fast-forward to today. My kid hears a missile siren and has 90 seconds to get to shelter. My friend's kid has faced targeted personal attacks at the student housing complex.
Despite our different choices, both our kids are on constant alert at school, just for being who they are.
I hope for better times, for all of our kids.
@kenklippenstein@kuchisakeonnax@TheDailyKoko He’s a prominent New York Times columnist with almost no public platform at all because literally no one has ever listened to him ever, about anything, in the world. Which is as it should be.
I still think the worst part of this legal dynamic was the judge in the case ruling the video taken by the killer as he murdered his victim was, “too disturbing to be shown” as evidence.
The killer recorded himself doing the killing, and that evidence could not be shown to the jury because it was “too disturbing,” yet the jury was tasked with making a decision on whether the accused was guilty or not. Think about it. Beyond insane judicial logic.

McDonald's is planning to replace drive-thru attendants with an AI model named Archy.
They were able to take 90% of orders without human interaction in a recent test, and they're preparing to roll it out for every McDonald's in the U.S.
This woman is a fraud who doesn't know we can fact-check her.
I found where she made the claim, and it provides some specifics: "If I had vaccinated the 6000 patients I treated for C0VID, I would have made $1.5 million."
This means she would've had to have been reimbursed $250 per patient. She attributed this number to a Blue Cross Blue Shield incentive program. But, the program she cites does not apply to her practice, which is in Houston, TX.
The program she's referring to is for participating Kentucky primary-care providers with an Anthem Medicaid panel of at least 25 members, and it involves tiered bonuses if the practice meets vaccination rate thresholds, with the highest final bonus being $250 per newly-vaccinated Anthem member, if the practice reaches a 75% vaccination threshold.
She's trying to claim that a Houston ENT could "vaccinate all her patients" and automatically collect $250 a piece. But she got the state wrong and she detailed how the program works incorrectly, too. She's even foolishly making these mistakes again in the comments section of this post.
To make matters worse, her own site says it's not possible for this to have applied to her. On her page, it says: "BreatheMD is a cash-pay facility, and Dr Bowden has opted out of all insurance plans".
The website currently, and for the past few years, has shown this, and the patient numbers given on the site do not match up with the timing of this program's existence either. There's no way to make her claims work, and her claims are about gross earnings, too. In reality, she still wouldn't have made $1.5m net with $250/person * 6,000 patients.
She's just a complete and obvious liar!
Now, if we're exceedingly generous, we can check what standard Medicare COVID reimbursement payments would've grossed her. The Biden-Harris administration upped payments to about $40 per dose, or $80 for a two-dose series. Thus, with 6,000 people and assuming everyone gets two doses, she'd have just grossed $480,000.
And you know what? I'm feeling really generous. The highest-paying commercial private insurer bonus -- which, again, her practice would not have been eligible for -- is $64. But reimbursements cluster near the Medicare rate of $40, and often below it. If you add the Medicare in-home add-on, then payments can go up to $75/dose for qualifying home vaccination visits, but this would not even apply to her office-based rates. Good luck getting to $1.5 million!
This woman is a delusional liar who doesn't expect anyone to fact-check her. Joe did not bother fact-checking her; instead, he seems to have just believed her obvious lying.

All these statements are going to be great for the inevitable 5th amendment case.
The government cannot design an administrative or regulatory scheme for the express purpose of seizing private property.
But these morons have been leaving a digital paper trail for years now talking in great specificity about their plans to design an administrative and regulatory scheme because they want to seize private property. Which is going to be highly pertinent once they actually start trying to do it.
If they were smarter they’d try to hide the ball a little bit, but they think the world is an academic seminar and don’t actually understand the concept of consequences, mostly because they have exactly zero real life experience.
Anyway, thanks idiots, see you all in court.
@varadmehta Mail-in ballots breaking for the Democrats is annoying but makes sense.
That they're surging for the third place Democrat, while the incumbent frontrunner's share plateaus, however, strains credulity
Absolutely necessary response. You cannot have a deterrence equation where a response to Hezbollah missiles results in an IRGC attack without any consequences.
The regime in Tehran must think twice before launching missiles moving forward.
Platner’s campaign website was registered in 2023, while his oyster “business” was registered in 2024.
@grahamformaine is a pathological liar, and here are the public records to prove it ⬇️
Spencer Pratt was doing this well because he was calling out a crooked and flawed system. If this is how they think they’re going to stop him, buckle up. They’re going to unleash something much bigger.
I don’t think the L.A. election was stolen. What’s happening is legal.
The problem is that what’s legal in California is gross third-worldist slop that would make a dictator blush.
The things that I think most define the average American NFL or college football fan are his or her lack of passion for the sport and disinterest in whether or not their team wins or loses
