Biden Lawsuit Against Sheetz Gas Will Enrage Pennsylvania Voters

SALENA ZITO 

 

 

 

ALTOONA, Pennsylvania -- The oldest gas station in America still in operation, Reighard's here in this Blair County city, got its start in 1908 when a local blacksmith decided to sell gasoline out the back of his shop when the Model T was introduced.

 

        It has been open ever since. While architecturally it is underwhelming, the service is good because the people who work there care about the work they do, whether it is pumping gas, washing your windshield or doing minor fixes on your car. It is important to them that you return.

 

        While Reighard's holds the title of the oldest gas station in the country, it was another Altoona family that put a different kind of gas station excellence on the map. The Sheetz family story is one of struggles. This family-friendly service station struggled with a salmonella breakout in 2004, but it retained a deeply local customer base and expanded well beyond its western Pennsylvania roots.

 

        Ask any traveler in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Ohio and North Carolina and they'll tell you when they see the cheery red and yellow stations along their drives, Sheetz means quality and comfort to their loyal customers.

 

        One very loyal and vocal customer is Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), the Braddock Democrat who often posts on X his preference for Sheetz over Wawa, the other mega service station based in the state, with cheeky posts such as "Sheetz > Wawa."

 

        With so much loyalty among residents in the state, it made sense for President Joe Biden to do a photo-op at a Sheetz in suburban Pittsburgh last week after his visit with local steelworkers. He wanted to demonstrate that he is no different than any other Pennsylvanian in his affection for the family-owned business.

 

        Biden even went so far as to pick up sandwiches for construction workers after pulling the presidential motorcade into the Sheetz gas station in Moon Township. Wearing his aviator glasses, he posed for a selfie with an employee.  Then things got weird.

 

        Just one day after the president's orchestrated Sheetz run, the Biden administration hit the privately held convenience store chain with a federal lawsuit in which federal officials say the company discriminated against minority job applicants. The theory, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is that because the company uses criminal background checks to screen job seekers, somehow that's a violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Going after Sheetz is like tugging on Superman's cape in Pennsylvania, in particular in central and western Pennsylvania when pulling up to a Sheetz is like pulling up to home. This is especially so when the alleged "violation" is what common sense says is just good business practices, such as making sure employees who interact with the public aren't criminals.

 

        Like the Biden administration's pause of exports of American liquefied natural gas, which harms hundreds of thousands of jobs in the state, or his proposed rule for the 45V hydrogen production tax credit that would cut Pennsylvania workers out of the equation in the hydrogen industry, the Sheetz lawsuit has local Democrats shaking their heads.

 

        As one Democrat said privately, "Is [Biden] just trying to lose Pennsylvania?"

Agreed.

This is the latest attempted expansion on Griggs, the case that held that a written test for firefighter candidates was discriminatory because minority applicants tended to test more poorly on average, and the test had no clear relationship to the job sought.

Huge pro-Trump crowd in the Bronx shows something profound happening in America

by Andrea Widburg

 

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez admitted the other day that the virtue of the so-called “hush money” trial is that it keeps Trump off the campaign trail. She slammed the fact that Trump would even contemplate making lemonade out of that lemon by campaigning in the Bronx—her turf. That was fear speaking, and AOC was right to be afraid. What’s happening now in the Bronx is monumental. A crowd that was estimated to be a few thousand is currently in the tens of thousands and still growing. Yesterday, when Ocasio-Cortez learned that Trump would be coming to her home turf, she tried to insult him by gloating about the trial hampering

Be sure to scroll down to the last video, where an articulate lifetime-Democrat woman explains why she is voting for Trump even though she hates him.

(Hint: It's his policies.)

Darkness Vs. Light

DAVID STROM

 

 

 

 

Joe Biden is the President of the United States, the most powerful man in the world, and he lives a life of privilege. 

 

Donald Trump is a former President of the United States, vilified by all the Right People™, being hounded in multiple courts, slandered on every news channel and believes rightly or wrongly that he was cheated out of a victory in the last election. 

 

So if you didn't know better, would you believe that the occupant of the White House is the one trashing his country and driving division and the one currently being persecuted is singing the praises of this wonderful country ?

 

 

 

Joe Biden, who was Vice President under the first Black President of the United States, paints a dark and pessimistic view of his country. One filled with hate, injustice, random racial murders, and no hope even for Blacks graduating from college. 

 

Sure, the president is there to congratulate them. But rest assured, White Americans hate them and will crush their dreams. 

 

Donald Trump, a man who even his harshest critics in the media (outside MSNBC) admit is being persecuted in a New York courtroom, goes to the Deep Blue South Bronx and paints a picture of America in which everybody is welcome, everybody can succeed, and in which together we will build a brighter future. 

 

Both presidents present a world with friends and enemies--it's not like you can say that Trump doesn't paint a world with dark forces trying to bring us down. Both he and Biden describe worlds with good and bad people; it's just that those who fit into those categories are very different groups. 

 

For Biden, the bad people are ordinary Americans, the police, American patriots, and any White person who likes the nuclear family. 

 

For Trump, it's illegal immigrant invaders, the media, the Establishment, and our foreign adversaries. 

 

The good guys for Biden are Democrats, the alphabet people, Iran, and Ukraine. 

 

For Trump: anybody who loves America. That's his criteria.

 

It's no secret that I don't care for Trump as a human being and that I have major issues with his decision-making during the COVID pandemic. But I am in awe of how he has turned himself into an avatar for the everyman. I can't imagine how he has managed to absorb all the slings and arrows over the past few months, no less the past few years. 

 

He has a sunnier disposition now than before all this lawfare began. It is as if the fight itself energizes him.

We often think that people who see the world differently from us are delusional.

 

Sometimes that is true, other times it just indicates that they see the world differently than we do

 

We can safely say that Simon Rosenberg is in the first camp: totally delusional.
