The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
I frequented your restaurants primarily because of your refreshing attitude toward the all-too-common tendency among American corporations to bend the knee to the progressive mindset and pressure. Unfortunately your recent actions have made me rethink my patronage. I will no longer spend any money at any of your restaurants until you revisit your offensive rejection of some of the finest charitable organizations in the country, and actively reject your recent support for organizations such as SPLC. As has been pointed out in many places, Popeye's has an excellent chicken sandwich.I am not a significant consumer of fast food, so this will have little effect on their bottom line. But I do not rely on fast food for my gustatory pleasures and needs, so this will have no effect on me either. What troubles me is the reversion to the corporate mean, which more and more seems like a pale reflection of a discussion about "How Things Should Work" during a class section of Sociology 212: Progressive Theory in Corporate America. And...the experience in their restaurants is uniformly better than any other major chain, with polite employees, spotless restaurants and speedy service. The big question is whether it is the obviously eroding religiosity (dumping the Salvation Army is a tell) and conservative ethics of the corporate culture that drives the company's excellence? Because if that is the case, then it is only a matter of time before we see bums in their bathrooms, Sunday specials of ersatz chicken on a gluten-free bun, and further grovelling to the pinch-faced scolds of the Left and the angry soldiers of the professional homosexual movement. By the way, the answer I got (it was prompt...I'll give them that) was a masterpiece of corporate bullshit, coupled with the obvious and uncomfortable fact that it was generated automatically, and that no human read my note. It's below the fold if anyone wants to wade through the crap.
Hi XXXXXX, Thank you for reaching out to us. We know you care a lot about Chick-fil-A and the work of the Chick-fil-A Foundation – and we truly value your feedback and appreciate you’re taking the time to share with us. Please know that you have been heard. The mission of the Chick-fil-A Foundation is to nourish the potential in every child. For more information on the Chick-fil-A Foundation’s giving, we strongly encourage you to read our announcement directly from us here: chick-fil-a.com/2020foundation As you will see, the Chick-fil-A Foundation announced that in 2020 it will focus its giving to address three critical needs facing children: education, homelessness and hunger. In 2020, the Chick-fil-A Foundation will partner with Junior Achievement USA, Covenant House International, and more than 120 local food banks in the communities where Chick-fil-A opens new restaurants. Moving forward, the Chick-fil-A Foundation will reassess philanthropic partnerships annually rather than make multiyear commitments. All organizations – faith-based and non-faith-based—will be considered for future partnerships. You can also visit chick-fil-afoundation.org to learn more about our refined giving approach and how we will work with our 2020 partners to help all children reach their potential.

LOL I saw that. Dems whipped up a fake poll because they want Beto to run, because without him they only got a sad sack collection of nobodies with no money to run against Cornyn.
But they're all hiding from the fact that Beto is politically dead in Texas - all any campaign against him from now on needs to be is constant clips of Beto saying he's going to send federal agents door to door to confiscate everyone's guns. Oh, and legally persecute any church that won't perform gay marriages.
The only way Beto comes in is if some other millionaire kicks in a huge payment for it to happen, but I doubt that happens.

Can they keep the "Christian" virtues in their stores, and maintain sales growth? maybe, idk. But they got a boost from pretending to be the Christian standout against the Corporate PC madness, while becoming turncoats in practice (on the funding side at least).
The crazy part is that the original attacks were based on the CEOs beliefs outside of his corporate life. Same when the Mozilla CEO got taken out for not being "WOKE" ... and it seems likely that Soros is one of the main funders/drivers of the Antifa style groups constantly on the attack.

Wasn't Chik-fil-A initially targeted because the founders/owners **private** donations to pro-marriage group(s)?
I know that, big picture, they are hated because they are unabashedly Christian. There is no pleasing the mob. However, I would bet the CFA Foundation's donations have been Lefty for a while, since this is not the entity that caused the LGBTQ outrage in the first place.
Still sucks, but it is an important distinction that makes their outrage even more petty, since who TF are they to micro-manage how a business owner spends their own dang money?

The fucking commies that run the education system in this country have destroyed it.
The only homeless children in the US are the ones abandoned by their worthless shit-heel drug addict or illegal alien parents.
And the Mr Potato Head kids got that way because of the stupid commie-run US government dietary guidelines, parents that don't care, and a planned campaign to eliminate physical play for children. I swear, you have to wrap kids in heavy duty bubble wrap before they'll be allowed outside for recess anymore.

Nope, that's NeverTrumper thinking there. It's silly.
now I do understand its fun to vent and rant on the internet, people say a lot of foolish things here. Cornyn isn't great, but he's not a Jeff Flake either, and he's certainly not a Sheldon Whitehouse. It would be nice to do better, but there's no realistic challenger to him inside the Texas GOP today, and he's still better than any Dem.

Compare and contrast. Back when Slick Willie was being impeached, we were told by expert, media and Donks that not all crimes were "high crimes and misdemeanors" and that a little witness tampering, obstruction of justice and rape wasn't a "high" crime. Now the same fine folks who told us that are telling us, "Crime? We don't need no stinkin' crime!"

I admit that part of my initial attraction to CfA is that they pissed-off all the right people. Now however, I continue to go (infrequently, like maybe 1x per week) because they serve a good chicken sandwich at a reasonable price and the people behind the counter at least act like they don't hate me.
Until that changes I'll keep giving them my infrequent business.

I never thought CFA's chicken was all that. Decent, probably a cut above the average fast food sammich. A SMALL cut.
But the friendly service/cleanliness thing was huge. I hate going into a fast food place where the barely literate douchecanoe behind the register acts like you're being so unreasonable in making them take your order.
In-N-Out has the same kind of service/cleanliness ethic, and they're generally conservative. The burgers are a damn sight better than CFA's chicken.

This is like those old predictions by Jeane Dixon, right? She would make a whole bunch of stupid predictions way in advance that no one would ever remember and call her on, but then when one came right she would dig it up and say "LOOK HOW RIGHT I WAS!!!"
So the whole prediction game is just playing the odds and managing perceptions.
As far as Texas turning blue, Ruy Texeira wrote a book predicting that in 2004, and he's been predicting it to happen every election since. He hasn't been right yet.

Predictions for someone to google and point to and say what do YOU know anyway:
Won't make it to Iowa:
Marianne Williamson (ultimate vanity candidacy, she won't be able to qualify for the ballot)
Wayne Messam (Who? Exactly)
Tulsi Gabbard (she's burned too many bridges)
Drops after Iowa:
John Delaney (self funded vanity)
Andrew Yang (self funded vanity)
Julian Castro (old, old news)
Amy Klobuchar (last finisher for the women)
Kirsten Gillibrand (next-to-last finisher for the women)
Seth Moulton (maybe - he might not get to Iowa, candidacy doesn't have any reason for being. Against the Iraq War? So was/is Trump.)
Eric Swalwell (candidacy is to troll Trump - a costly way to do it)
Jay Inslee
Drops after NH:
John Hickenlooper (honestly I just needed to put someone here)
Drops after SC:
Beto O'Rourke (he can fund himself past a poor showing in Iowa, and the big dropout after Iowa will make him look like a mover until he gets to SC)
Drops after Super Tuesday:
Elizabeth Warren (nobody really likes her anyway - Super Tuesday will demonstrate that definitively)
Cory Booker (he will already be reeling from going nowhere with the black vote in SC)
That will leave the field with this:
Joe Biden
Pete Buttigieg
Bernie Sanders
Kamala Harris
Bernie will run to the convention regardless of where he is. But he is already done.
Now here it gets tricky - Harris I don't think can win but the Dems can't let the last candidates all be white men. UNLESS - she drops out, immediately endorses Biden, and Biden says, immediately, I will be glad to have her on my ticket when we get to the convention. Despite the fact I think he won't win, this might actually make him win. If those campaigns are too bitter with each other to do that, that only leaves one candidate:
Buttigieg

I'm not saying that any given person should stop eating at CFA. But, if you started supporting them when teh gheys were trying to bully them, you may want to reconsider your support.
In fact, someone better at social media might want to consider advertising the "12 days of no CFA". So, the two weeks before Christmas*, stop patronizing CFA. And to rub salt in their wounds, donate the money you would have spent to either the Salvation Army, or the Fellowship of Christian Athletes or both.
I suspect if they see a double digit downturn in sales they might want to reconsider what the CFA foundation is doing.

Yes, GLAAD immediately responded that CFA needed to implement some special LGBTQ harassment prevention training company-wide.
Because, well, no LGBTQ employee or customer has ever accused CFA of discrimination, but apparently they need to do their part and commit funds to the LGBTQ harassment prevention racket (because that's what this is: no different than a mafia protection racket or a Rainbow/Push Coalition corporate extortion).

And Beto's dumb enough to fall for it.
I hope he does.
He's already pissed off every Republican in the state by promising to use cops to take their guns while forcing their churches to celebrate gay marriage. I want him to piss off the Democrats of the state too by losing another statewide race while also stepping on the toes of people who have been primarying for the race for months.

the big hit on the stock was an earlier quarter, and they did get a big sales quarter ... supposedly making the store a "destination" for athletes ... not sure how they accomplish that idea. The article said don't chase the stock after its recent 50% rise off those "no guns" lows.
this was an interesting line ..."In addition, these retailers have now figured out how to beat Amazon at
its own game with the local stores acting as distribution centers." (included Target and Best Buy) ... WalMart is also doing next day delivery free on orders over $35, for certain items at least.

"A child born in the middle East on February 5, 1962, will revolutionize the world and eventually unite all warring creeds and sects into one all-embracing faith. This person, who has been the subject of some of Jeane Dixon's strongest, clearest visions, was born of humble peasant origin. Mankind, she says, will begin to feel the great force of this man about 1980, and his power will grow mightily until 1999, at which time there will be peace on earth to all men of good will."
Now that I look at it again, no, it doesn't sound much like BHO. We certainly didn't start to feel TFG's "great force" in 1980 (unless you happened to be a choom dealer), and 1999 was not a special year, and he wasn't born in 1962 or in the Middle East.
Except for the "peace of earth" bit, it sounds more like Khan Noonien Singh!

Hope Lindy just aint blowing smoke...if IG report turns out NOT to
be what WAPO or NY Times have been crowing about these last 24 hours
which is that it concludes that the FBI had every legal reason to
investigate Trump/Russia collusion - then that egg will not come off

Unfortunately, that's not how it works. Look around, people have been freaking out since this leak came out through one of the long time leak targets of the deep state, Devlin Barrett, last night.
Many people are convinced it's true because why would the same people who lied to you for 3 years about Russia collusion lie to you know? Yes, it's dumb but there you go.
The goal is to get enough people spun up so badly they don't care what truth comes out and will already start insisting the IG report is a whitewash. It's already happening and those people will never admit that it isn't a whitewash even if the facts say otherwise.
It's called narrative building. It's been going on for years. And no matter how many time they do it, no matter how many times it's pointed out that this is what is going on, we go through these same periods of spin Every. Single. Time.

He's the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He meets regularly with Barr as a requirement of his job. He's also a Trump supporter.
He's a lot more knowledgeable about what's really going on than Devlin fucking Barrett or the Washington Post.

Busy, and probably not desirous of making a move that could cause a lot of pain to the state party by launching a primary against a sitting senator who's well respected in the state.

I checked the voting district in Carrollton during 2016 - "we" voted for Felonia Von Pantsuit.
And "New York" keep showing up on license plates for houses that have been recently bought in the neighborhood.
Hence the wife and I buying some property in East Texas after being here for 30+ years.

I'm doing the commute until after the New Year when I'm going to start
looking to move up there. When I go to Zillow to see what's available in
my price range (which isn't much), there's a big blank spot around
McKinney/Allen/Plano.
So no matter what, I'm almost certainly going to have to commute. *sigh*

We are moving to the metroplex next year most likely west of Denton. Our Tricare works there unlike up here in Fannin County. Prices are going up nearly every week and I hope we don't get priced out of the market. If that happens we will move back to Kentucky.

Great. I would like to read it. I have read her diary-yes, the entire thing
and looked at websites about her, but it sounds like both an intellectually interesting as well as an inspiring movie for those who appreciate St Faustina and the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
I also have the Divine Mercy Image in my home.

I saw a "thousand watt equivalent" LED bulb yesterday in a guy's shop. It gas a standard Edison base, but includes an adapter for mogul base in the box. It shed a lot of light, but really needs to be in one of those polished metal bell-shaped reflectors.

Ten cents is too much. And even matching employee donations should be screened. What if an employee were to give a grand to the Church of Satan? OK for CFA to match it?

But I have upped my donations to the Salvation Army. Bigly. It would be satisfying to see any change in the Chick-fil-A bottom line to be hugely overwhelmed by increases in donations to the Salvation Army.
