There are plenty of ideas that sound wonderful until somebody actually has to figure out how to pay for them. Unfortunately, California seems determined to keep learning that lesson the painfully expensive way. Another business has run into serious financial trouble, and this time, one of America’s familiar restaurant brands is caught in the middle. According to the Los Angeles Times, Cerca Trova Restaurant Group, a major Outback Steakhouse franchisee operating 61 locations, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday. The company cited mounting food and labor costs, declining customer traffic, and hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. California’s experience offers a pretty good illustration of why simply demanding higher wages doesn’t magically make everybody better off. Perhaps politicians should spend a little less time congratulating themselves for announcing another wage increase and a little more time considering what happens after the announcement. Because the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and apparently, some very expensive restaurant meals. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/11/californias-sky-high-minimum-wage-claims-another-victim/ With the Democrat sweep of the House and Senate on Tuesday, leftists are already claiming that Democrats will have enough control to end the Electoral College, one of their long term goals for years. They would love nothing more than for New York City and Los Angeles, both of which are now controlled by the DSA, to choose the president for the rest of the entire country. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/11/left-is-already-claiming-that-democrats-have-enough/ An illegal alien with multiple guns and a stolen vehicle was arrested outside the White House on Thursday. The man, identified by Fox News as Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos, said he was hearing voices that told him to go kill President Donald Trump. Federal authorities told Fox News that the man crossed the border in Texas in 2024 and was released by the Biden administration. [Opinion] “Wall Street Apes” is a popular social media account on X with 1.4 million followers. It’s not a political account. It’s a stock market news account. They just asked their followers a simple question. “Do you believe the 2026 midterm elections in America were rigged?” The vote was 92% rigged vs. 8% not rigged. In the last midterm in 2022, 54 million voters turned out nationally- and elected a GOP House and Senate. This time around 55 million GOP voters turned out- and we lost. So how did we lose in a landslide? Simple. The Democrat vote went up by 20 million. So, where did all these phantom votes come from? Simple. 20 million new Democrat voters nationwide, and three million new Democrat voters in Texas, came from the same place… Then the Biden administration, and Soros-funded NGOs, and Catholic Charities, and other supposed non-profit groups (who are paid billions of dollars by the US government) arranged for them to get $10,000 Visa cards, welfare, food stamps, free phones, free housing, free healthcare (Medicaid), registered them all to vote (without Voter ID or proof of citizenship), and taught them all to vote Democrat if they want to stay in the USA, and keep the freebies and welfare checks coming. SIMPLE. Just two weeks ago a new study came out showing that the state of California gives the average illegal alien family about $100,000 a year in benefits. Mail-in ballots solve that problem- because illegal aliens can vote without ever going near a polling place, or risking capture by ICE. But perhaps more importantly, with mail-in ballots, and ballot harvesting, and ballot drop boxes, an army of thousands of Democrat activists can fill out the ballots for illegals, and mail them in. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/11/wayne-root-i-know-how-democrats-stole-texas/ A report from City Journal accuses California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) of building his multi-million-dollar wine empire using illegal migrant labor — suggesting the potential presidential candidate has held a secretive, vested financial stake in promoting illegal immigration. The report... reveals that “Newsom’s business has contracted the services of a vineyard management company with a long history of employing illegal labor.” And as governor, Newsom has leveraged tax dollars to facilitate the presence of illegal immigrants in California, which, in turn, helps prop up the struggling Napa wine industry from which he profits. Another source told City Journal that “about 80 percent” of the vineyard workers in California’s wine industry are illegal aliens. The management company contracted by Newsom’s business, the source said, is certainly aware that it employs illegal aliens.
