Liberals SPEW hatred at DoorDash after marketing stunt with Trump at White House

The DoorDash delivery app is getting some backlash from those angry about a publicity stunt it had with President Donald Trump at the White House Monday.

The president smiled for the cameras after receiving a package from McDonald’s delivered by a DoorDash worker. He tipped her $100, and she praised his “no taxes on tips” policy for saving her money.

‘Today, I deleted their app. There are other delivery services that don’t pander to a pedophile. F**k DoorDash.’

Almost immediately, liberals and other anti-Trump critics lambasted the company over the promotion.

“I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve spent a good deal of money using door dash. This lame s**t you pulled with trump made it super easy to delete my account. Get f**ked,” one user responded on the X platform.

“I’ve been ordering @DoorDash for years. Years and years. Today, I deleted their app. There are other delivery services that don’t pander to a pedophile. F**k DoorDash and that bulls**t PR scam with Trump,” replied a user identifying as a Canadian.

“Despite yall making it exceedingly difficult to delete accounts, got that s**t done. Absolutely F**k Trump, ICE, MAGA, and doordash,” one response reads.

“Just delete Doordash. F**k Trump,” another user said.

“Just cancelled my DashPass and hopefully many more do the same. I’m not funding Trumpie propaganda,” another detractor replied.

“You f**king clowns use the fake ass driver to f**king promote this f**king bulls**t for a f**king clown show pathetic f**king pathetic,” another critic said.

“Deleting ur app! Been a long term volume customer for years. Recommend you firing the marketing genius who’s gonna cost you millions of dollars for that performance at the White House! You have alienated millions of people,” said another.

“Deleted my app and will never use you again. Trump is a FASCIST, who is killing people and sending children to torture camps to be raped. I’ll be telling everyone I know to never use you again. I hope your company fails,” reads another message to the company.

Despite the outrage from many on the left, the company’s stock price had its best session in eight weeks after the White House promotion.

Mamdani plan includes 5 city-run grocery markets — with massive price tag

Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has revealed his plans for city-run grocery stores, a key promise he made to get into office.

Mamdani touted a similar experiment in 1936 by then-Mayor Fiero LaGuardia that provided city-run markets for New Yorkers in the throes of the Great Depression.

‘You know, it’s going to be more turmoil than anything else. It’s a great punch line for him and for the socialist movement. But New York is not a socialist city.’

“It cut overhead for pushcart vendors and lowered consumer cost,” Mamdani said during his 100 Days address on Sunday evening.

“LaGuardia said it was ‘an answer to those who said they had been forgotten,'” he added. “The New York Times described it succinctly, ‘City tries experiment.’ New York City, it is time for a grand experiment once again. Just like Laguardia used government to respond to challenges of the Great Depression, we will use government to respond to rising prices and unaffordable groceries.”

The effort will have a massive price tag.

Construction operations just at the first site are expected to run to $30 million.

Critics howled at the estimate, noting that it’s many times more what private industry spends to build a grocery store. And funding still needs to be approved by the city council.

Mamdani also said the stores would offer discounted prices on only certain staple items.

“The city will subsidize a core set of food staples,” the socialist mayor said. “A private operator will run the store but will answer to the standards the city will set. These standards include requirements that at our stores, bread will be cheaper. Eggs will be cheaper. Grocery shopping will no longer be an unsolvable equation. And workers will be treated with dignity.”

City Hall hopes to have the first city-run store running by 2027 and four others by 2029, the end of Mamdani’s term.

Critics are already lambasting the plan, including the spokesperson for a bodega group.

“These stores are going to get jam-packed. There are only four or five in the entire city of 8 million people,” said Fernando Mateo of the United Bodegas of America.

“What do you expect is going to happen? You’re going to have people rushing to these stores early in the morning to late at night, waiting on long lines,” he added. “You know, it’s going to be more turmoil than anything else. It’s a great punch line for him and for the socialist movement. But New York is not a socialist city.”

Others noted that previous city-run grocery experiments ended with empty shelves and crime.

Mamdani spoke directly to the naysayers of his socialist plot.

“Some will insist that city-owned businesses do not work, that government cannot keep up with corporations,” he said. “My answer to them is simple. I look forward to the competition.”

Are scandal-plagued Cory Mills’ days in Congress finally numbered?

The swift resignations of Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) to avoid expulsion votes regarding sexual misconduct allegations may trigger a chain reaction on Capitol Hill to remove other lawmakers accused of wrongdoing.

Gonzales stated that he planned to file his retirement from office on Tuesday after admitting to an affair with a former staffer who later committed suicide.

‘Congress has serious moral and ethical problems and these four are the face of it.’

On Sunday, Swalwell decided he would suspend his bid for California governor after a former staffer claimed he had previously sexually assaulted her. Swalwell has denied the allegations.

The House Ethics Committee announced Monday that it would open an investigation into the allegations against Swalwell. That same day, Swalwell stated he would resign from Congress, citing his colleagues’ intent to expel him.

“I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members,” Swalwell said. “Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong. But it’s also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress.”

The recent resignations of Swalwell and Gonzales have renewed bipartisan calls for other scandal-plagued lawmakers to step down. Among those urging immediate action are Reps. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Nydia Velázquez (D-N.Y.), who have publicly called on Reps. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) and Cory Mills (R-Fla.) to resign.

The House Ethics Committee effectively found Cherfilus-McCormick guilty in March of 25 counts of financial misconduct and campaign-finance violations related to the misuse of federal relief funds. She was accused of stealing $5 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency funds.

The committee opened an investigation into Mills in November regarding several allegations, including claims that the congressman failed to disclose necessary information to the House, violated campaign finance laws, improperly accepted gifts and special favors, engaged in sexual misconduct, and misused congressional resources.

Blaze News was the first to report the bombshell sextortion accusations against Mills from former Miss United States Lindsey Langston.

Mills has also been accused of stolen valor, with multiple veterans and former colleagues previously telling Blaze News that he fabricated or exaggerated key elements of his military record.

On Monday, Mace declared that it is “time to clean house.”

“We don’t care what party you’re in. Stealing millions in taxpayer dollars, sexually assaulting your staff, lying about your service record, none of it is acceptable and none of it goes unnoticed,” Mace stated. “Congress has serious moral and ethical problems and these four are the face of it. Washington has protected its own for too long. It needs to end now. We’re calling on these four to resign or face expulsion.”

Velázquez made similar comments on Monday, writing in a post on X, “Congress should not tolerate representatives who abuse staff, betray public trust for personal gain, and generally violate their oath of office.”

“Reps. Swalwell, Gonzales, Cherfilus-McCormick, and Mills should resign. If they refuse, they should be expelled,” Velázquez stated.

Mace, who has been leading the charge to remove Mills, forced a censure vote against Mills in November over “alleged stolen valor, arms deals he’s under investigation for and alleged abuses toward women.” It failed in a 310-103 vote, with 204 Republicans and 106 Democrats supporting Mills.

Mace claimed that a censure against Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands), who was accused of colluding with Jeffrey Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing, had previously failed because Mills arranged a “backroom deal” to suppress his own censure.

Mills was accused of similar allegations in September when he voted to protect Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from censure. Mills was the deciding vote.

“Another backroom deal so Cory Mills can’t get censored [sic] for Stolen Valor,” Mace stated in a November post on X. “I have the General who ‘recommended’ him for the Bronze Star on record saying he never wrote it, never read it and never personally signed it. This. Is. Washington.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) stated Tuesday that he is “looking into” the House Ethics investigation into Mills.

Mills’ office did not respond to a request for comment.

Video: Why is a Chinese robot chasing wild boars in Poland?

A popular Chinese robot is going viral for a video showing it chasing wild boars, but many aren’t sure why that happened.

The robot itself, nicknamed Edward Warchocki, is a Unitree G1 model available for public purchase that popped up in Poland.

‘Older ladies or gentlemen love talking with him.’

The Chinese-made robots go for a whopping $23,809 for the basic model, all the way up to $58,365 for the “ultimate edition.”

Recently, this particular model was seen running through the streets of Warsaw, Poland, chasing wild boars. While hilarious, there is actual serious context behind the content.

Major Polish cities like Krakow have endured a sprawling wild boar issue — even in city centers — for years, resulting in authorities urging their population to resist feeding the somewhat approachable beasts.

Other cities have resorted to planting flowers with vivid colors and sweet scents in order to deter the pigs.

Since at least 2019, there have been warnings of disease allegedly spread by the animals, resulting in calls for culls and elimination of thousands of them that have reportedly carried illnesses like African swine fever and Hepatitis E.

Enter Edward the robot, who was recently seen shooing the animals away from downtown Warsaw.

As reported by Interesting Engineering, Edward is a Chinese humanoid that operates mostly on its own. It is not controlled remotely and is described as unscripted. Therefore it reacts dynamically to its surroundings and engages in adaptive dialogue in Polish using AI.

Edward is most popular with Polish Boomers, its owners say, as they are excited to interact with a robot for the first time.

Radosław Grzelaczyk and business partner Bartosz Idzik started in cryptocurrency, but they now try to create viral videos with their robo-friend.

“Personally, the sight of this robot chasing boars does not surprise me anymore,” Grzelaczyk told TVP World.

“Older ladies or gentlemen love talking with him,” Grzelaczyk added. “These people are always delighted that they lived to see times in which robots move through the streets.”

In China, the robots have been shown to be capable of advanced feats. Last year, they competed in a half-marathon and were showcased in February performing kung-fu, gymnastics, and weapons work.

The focus during China’s annual CCTV Spring Festival gala was innovation in multi-robot coordination and fault recovery, referring to a robot’s ability to get up after tumbling down. China showed the robots in choreographed performances and dancing as well.

Definitive warning signs of spying from Chinese robot manufacturers exist too. Axios reported on two security researchers who reported on Unitree Robotics allegedly pre-installing a backdoor on its Go1 robot dogs that allowed for customer surveillance.

Other research warned about exploits that allowed for remote takeover of the humanoid bots, among other models.

Neither Edward nor his owners responded to Return’s request for comment.

Viral TikTok post leads to boycott of beloved SoCal taco shop chain — just because Latino CEO likes Trump

Liberals are trying to destroy a popular taco shop chain run by a Hispanic family for generations because the CEO is a supporter of President Donald Trump.

Roberto’s Taco Shop began as a tortilla shop in San Diego, California, in the late 1960s by an immigrant family from Mexico. It has grown into a vast franchise with 80 locations in California, Nevada, and Texas.

‘Total rags to riches American story too. They are San Diego legends.’

On Wednesday, a TikTok activist posted evidence showing that chain CEO Reynaldo Robledo has posted statements in support of the president.

That post went viral, and liberals are now calling for customers to avoid all Roberto’s Taco Shops.

“Did this CEO forget that all of his restaurants are based on Mexican dishes, who wouldn’t have made it here without the immigrants that are currently being affected by the current administration that you are supporting?” the TikToker asked.

The message has spread to other platforms, including Facebook.

“Did you know that Reynaldo Robledo, the CEO of Roberto’s Taco Shop is a huge MAGA supporter and supports ICE! Looks like you won’t be getting our business anymore!” reads a post from a group titled “A Strong Nevada.”

Others have posted the video on the X social media platform.

The Nevada part of the chain issued a statement trying to quell the outrage.

“Roberto’s Taco Shop is proud to be a Latino-owned and operated franchise that serves diverse communities across Nevada,” the statement reads. “While our CEO may hold personal political beliefs, it is important to note that each of our 49 franchisees operate their stores independently.”

Others pointed out that the boycott would harm independent franchise owners who have nothing to do with the political beliefs of the CEO.

Some on the right responded by calling on Trump supporters to combat the boycott by patronizing the taco shops.

“Total rags to riches American story too. They are San Diego legends,” SoCal activist Amy Reichert replied.

Dad rushes home to protect child, pregnant wife from unhinged male screaming death threats at door, demanding it be opened

A Northern California father rushed home to protect his 5-year-old child and pregnant wife from a male stranger who was caught on the Fairfield home’s doorbell camera screaming death threats and demanding that the homeowner open the door.

Video from last Tuesday’s terrifying incident shows the male standing on the porch of the home in the 1700 block of Burbank Court in Fairfield and talking to the homeowner through a Ring doorbell camera and demanding entry, KTVU-TV reported.

‘Open the door. This is my neighborhood. … Now. Or I’ll f**king end you. Do you understand me?’

Fairfield is about 45 minutes southwest of Sacramento.

“I just want to make sure that everything’s OK,” the man is heard saying, the station reported. “There seems to be something going on.”

“What do you mean?” the homeowner replied while repeatedly asking the male to leave.

The homeowner had just left his residence minutes before, KTVU said. However, he was able to observe and talk to the male stranger — and immediately returned home, police said.

Things only got scarier.

The male is seen on video kicking the door and shouting, “Where’s your daughter? Who’s in there with you? Open this f**king door, or I’m breaking it down!” KTVU said.

Things also got downright bizarre.

At one point, the male identified himself as a fictional wizard and private investigator from an urban fantasy series, the station said.

“My name is Harry Dresden, motherf**ker,” the male is heard saying on camera. “Open the door. This is my neighborhood. … Now. Or I will f**king end you. Do you understand me?”

Soon the male pulled down a decorative doorbell, repeatedly bashed the door with it, and continued to demand to be let inside “or I’ll f**king kill you,” KTVU said.

All the while, the homeowner’s pregnant wife and 5-year-old child were inside the home, but they managed to hide in the garage, the station said.

Unable to get in through the front door, the male stranger soon broke a gate and entered the home through a sliding glass door, KTVU reported.

Video from inside the home shows the intruder moving through rooms and yelling, “Where the f**k is she?” the station said.

But soon the homeowner is seen on video back inside his residence — and armed with a shovel. KTVU said that while video doesn’t show the physical altercation between the homeowner and the intruder, a commotion can be heard.

The homeowner is heard telling the intruder, “I’m giving you a chance — get the f**k out of my house,” the station reported.

Authorities confirmed to KTVU that a physical confrontation occurred between the intruder and the homeowner, and both sustained head injuries.

Arriving officers found the intruder outside the home, and the station said he was taken to NorthBay Medical Center for treatment and later booked into the Solano County Jail.

Police said they “want to recognize the actions of the homeowner, who worked to protect his family while officers were responding to the scene.”

Jason Nichols, 30, was arrested on suspicion of burglary, vandalism, and making criminal threats, KTVU reported, adding that police on Monday added a charge of annoying or molesting a child.

The station said that during Nichols’ court appearance Monday, he seemed to take issue with some of the charges as Superior Court Judge William Pendergast read the complaint.

Nichols did not enter a plea, KTVU reported.

Authorities would not say if Nichols was targeting any child related to the homeowner, the station said, but they did say Nichols lives behind the family’s home, although the family does not know him.

Nichols’ bail was set at $250,000. While jail records indicate Nichols remained behind bars Tuesday afternoon, the charge of annoying or molesting a child was no longer listed among the charges against him. Nichols’ next court date is scheduled for April 23.
