Even the Washington Post isn’t buying Vice President Kamala Harris’ plan to slap socialist price controls on groceries.

The longtime, left-leaning broadsheet — owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos — published a scathing editorial ripping the Democratic presidential nominee for claiming price gouging is causing inflation and, rather than offer a legit plan to fix it, offering only “populist gimmicks.”

With food prices surging more than 20% nationwide during the Biden-Harris administration, Harris, during a North Carolina rally earlier Friday, unveiled economic policies she’d enact during her first 100 days as president that include enforcing government price controls on groceries.

Instead of “level[ing] with voters” and saying “inflation spiked in 2021 mainly because the pandemic snarled supply chains, and that the Federal Reserve’s policies, which the Biden-Harris administration supported, are working to slow it,” the veep “opted for a less forthright route: Blaming big business,” the newspaper wrote.

Bezos, a supporter for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, purchased the newspaper in 2013, but he began taking a more active role in its operations in the past year.

The billionaire’s powerhouse portfolio — which includes e-commerce king Amazon and the Whole Food Market chain — would likely be impacted by Harris’ Commie-friendly policy ideas like having the Federal Trade Commission enforce a federal ban on price gouging that includes dishing out hefty penalties to companies that set exorbitantly high prices.

“Ms. Harris says she’ll target companies that make ‘excessive’ profits, whatever that means,” the editorial board barked.

However, it slammed her idea to dole out $25,000 to help first-time homeowners with their down payments, saying it “risks putting upward pressure on prices.”

“Thankfully, this gambit by Ms. Harris has been met with almost instant skepticism, with many critics citing President Richard M. Nixon’s failed price controls from the 1970s. Whether the Harris proposal wins over voters remains to be seen, but if sound economic analysis still matters, it won’t.”

The editorial board had a warmer opinion of Harris’ housing plan, saying it is “built on a slightly firmer foundation” and called her tax incentives “clever.”

“Such a measure might make sense if Ms. Harris paid for it by eliminating other demand-side housing subsidies, such as the mortgage interest deduction, a roughly $30 billion annual drain on federal revenue that benefits many wealthy Americans — but she does not,” the newspaper wrote. 

It also said Harris’ “firmest ground” was her proposal to increase the child tax credit from $2,000 per child to $3,600, among other tax breaks. 

The Harris campaign did not immediately return messages. 

A tiny Wyoming town has been embroiled in debate after an image surfaced of a dog sitting at a table inside a restaurant beside its owner. 

The image, captured inside Sapporo Japanese Steakhouse in Rock Springs, Wyoming, shows an elderly woman sitting at a table alongside her small dog. 

Local woman Ellie Croft shared the picture, and her disgust, at how restaurant staff could allow the animal inside. 

In her post, Croft said: ‘If you’ve already made the entitled decision to bring your dog to a restaurant. 

‘DO NOT let it sit on the bench where other people will sit. Disgusting and inconsiderate’, with her post now sparking a wider debate on animals in restaurants.

The image, and Croft’s caption, has since ignited a deeper heated debate about allowing animals in restaurants.

Some users urged her to be considerate, as she did not know the woman’s full circumstances, questioning if it was possibly a service dog. 

Others agreed with her post, saying people need to stop regarding dogs as humans. 

One commenter posted: ‘If your entitled backside is too pristine to sit in the same restaurant as a dog. You are the problem and not the dog.’

Another said: ‘Probably better behaved than most kids around here’, but someone added: ‘Agree!!! Dogs belong at home.’

Another man added: ‘Everyone should take a moment to actually think this through.’ 

‘This is a food establishment, not your home kitchen. Could this be a service dog? Yes, but it would be more responsible for this person to use a designated vest or tag to express that. 

‘People have allergies, and unless you have a certified service animal, you have no right bringing in a pet that could disrupt someone else in public food establishments.’

Croft hit back after receiving some heat for her original post, adding: ‘I’m highly allergic to dogs, and they do not belong on people’s seats in restaurants. 

The post has since sparked a wider debate on animals in restaurants.

‘It would’ve been alright if the dog stayed on the floor. Have some common sense.’

The owner of Sapporo, Jerry Zhang, told Cowboy State Daily that he leans toward the softer side of the issue for a few reasons. 

According to Zhang, he doesn’t want to force a lonely or disabled person away from her dog and he doesn’t want a dog left in a hot vehicle. 

Zhang also told the outlet that the restaurant is cleaned meticulously between guests anyway.

He said: ‘If the dog is good, no barking — I say OK. From my heart, I feel sorry if I reject (them). 

The owner of Sapporo, Jerry Zhang, seen here, told Cowboy State Daily that he leans toward the softer side of the issue for a few reasons

‘I always tell myself to put yourself in others’ shoes to feel how others feel That’s why I’m (allowing well-behaved dogs).’

According to the Wyoming Department of Agriculture, all animals, except service dogs, are not allowed inside restaurants

Federal rules say that staff can only ask a person if a dog is required because of a disability, and what task the dog must perform. 

The guidance adds that staff should not ask for documentation or proof that the can perform a service. 

The San Francisco Giants have been superstar-hunting throughout the past few offseasons. Unfortunately, a lot has gone down since.

They couldn’t land Aaron Judge after reports that he was signing with the team. Carlos Correa also agreed to a $350 million deal before the Giants backed out due to a medical concern.

They landed Blake Snell, one of the top arms in Major League Baseball, but it’s different than landing a hitter. At the end of the day, hitting home runs sells tickets. The front office understands that, the fan base understands that, and so do the players.

There will be perhaps a bigger star than Judge and Correa on the market this year. Juan Soto of the New York Yankees hits free agency unless he gets a deal done within the next few months, and he’s projected to land a $500-plus million contract.

It’s uncertain if San Francisco would be willing to hand out that type of money, but given the success he’s found and his age, it’d be well worth the investment.

Some insiders believe the team will get involved.

Jon Heyman of the New York Post listed landing spots for the left-handed slugger, listing the Giants at No. 4.

“They showed interest in a Soto trade, and they’ve been trying to land a big positional star for years. Is a pitchers’ park a dealbreaker?”

Bringing up the ballpark is an interesting thing to talk about. Soto, who’s on the trajectory to be an all-time great, might be scared away by not playing in a hitter-friendly ballpark.

If he stays with the Yankees, he’d have the opportunity to play in one of the more hitter-friendly ballparks in Major League Baseball.

However, this situation is likely going to come down to money. If New York offered him $500 million and San Francisco offered him $575 million, he could prefer the extra $75 million

Agent Scott Boras has never been one to take less than he believes his client deserves. With Soto, who could genuinely reset the market for hitters, it’s safe to say that he’ll be searching for the top dollar available.

The Giants have some other holes they need to fill, so handing over $500 plus million to one player might not be the right decision. However, it’ll be a step in the right direction and could interest future free agents, which is very important.

If they want a star, nothing should stop their pursuit of signing one.
