Hey Socal! This week, insta-douche Jake Paul trolled President Biden on Twitter. And we should definitely take him seriously, because when it comes to thought provoking political analysis, our most trusted source is the guy who tasers rats and assaults NBA mascots. He’s the Alexis de Tocqueville of dirtbags. And for more news you may have missed, Mike Ciriaco is bringing it back to your brain with this week’s Deja News.

The Farmer John meatpacking plant in Vernon — a frequent target of protests by animal-rights advocates critical of the treatment of pigs at the facility — will close next year, with its Virginia-based owner Friday citing the rising costs of doing business in California.
According to Smithfield Foods, the plant will close in early 2023. The company is also exploring “strategic options to exit its farms in Arizona and California.”
