Patriots4Truth

Sixteen former Watergate prosecutors have notified Emmet Sullivan, a judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, that they intend to file an “amicus curiae” (“friend of the court”) brief in the case against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn after the Department of Justice (DOJ) moved to dismiss the charges against him. Flynn had previously pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators, but he moved to withdraw that plea earlier this year, followed by the DOJ decision last week. Sullivan, however, has not yet approved the DOJ’s motion and made the unusual move this week…

Patriots4Truth

Tom Rogers, the founder of MSNBC and CNBC, has a very dim view of Joe Biden’s abilities as he goes against Trump for the presidency of the United States. Rogers says that Trump has dominated the news since the coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S., but eventually, all eyes will turn to Biden and “Biden needs to perform.” The Hill: “The bottom line is the candidate needs to be able to articulate a clear and convincing message, and particularly when it comes to the pandemic … he’s not there yet,” Rogers…

Google Has Expanded Its Presence In The Restaurant Space. Here’s Why

Patriots4Truth

In just over 20 years, Google became one of the world’s largest companies and arguably the most recognized brand. At the very least, it’s one of the few companies that legitimately doubles as a proper noun and a verb. The company has also evolved significantly beyond its search engine roots, planting seeds in industries from retail to education to enterprise. Google also has a burgeoning Food, Beverage and Restaurants vertical. Although many of the company’s integrations may be subtle because of our habitual use of Google products, its presence is becoming quite…

Patriots4Truth

April was the second consecutive month of job losses for the U.S. economy following the record 113 months run of expanding employment rolls. Economists had forecast that the economy would lose 21 million jobs and that the unemployment rate would climb from 4.4 percent to 16 percent. So the April figures were better than expected. March’s job losses were revised up from a loss of 701,000 to 870,000. February, which saw job gains, was revised down by 45,000 from 275,000 to 230,000, a reminder of how just how strong the jobs…

Meat Shortages Leave Wendy’s Diners Asking, ‘Where’s the Beef?’

Patriots4Truth

With meat shortages roiling the U.S., some Wendy’s Co. restaurants have taken burgers — their hallmark item — off the menu. Customers have taken to Twitter to complain they couldn’t order burgers from the restaurant, which touts its beef as fresh and never frozen in its marketing. A check on Wendy’s app showed that only chicken items were available for takeout or delivery orders from at least some of its stores in California. The situation has prompted a number of customers to ask “Where’s the beef?” on social media, invoking…

Vice President Stacey Abrams?

Patriots4Truth

The name and executive honorific combo has a poetic lilt to it.  It’s also an appellation we’re going to hear a lot more, as anticipation of whom Joe Biden will select as his running mate picks up. The vice presidential pick is normally a perfunctory affair.  The position is, as John Nance Garner famously called it, hardly worth a bucket of tepid micturition.  Presiding over medal-producing pomp and heading useless task forces (the COVID-19 response team notwithstanding) is the veep’s poor lot. Not so under Joe Biden.  What’s normally a ceremonial secondment for also-ran…
