@exjon:

Greta Thunberg distracted the world with a false flag attack on her boat, allowing Israel to eliminate Hamas leadership. And the Left still hasn't figured out she's a Mossad asset.

Via Crusader.

Cracker Barrel announces that it is scrapping its entire $700 million rebrand effort.

In a post on X and the company's website, the "Old Country Stores" wrote that "You've shared your voices in recent weeks not just on our logo, but also on our restaurants. We're continuing to listen. Today, we're suspending our remodels. If your restaurant hasn't been remodeled, you don't need to worry, it won't be."

"We heard clearly that the modern remodel design does not reflect what you love about Cracker Barrel," it added. "We had tested this design in only four out of 660 locations, and we won't continue with it. Of course, we will continue to invest in our restaurants to make sure that they are in good shape and meet your expectations."

$700 million of shareholder's former wealth down the drain so that a Woke Girlboss could show off to her hipster Vasser alumnae.

I heard a guy, Cecil Says, explaining the problem with Cracker Barrel: It's stopped making food fresh from scratch and now mostly just reheats pre-prepared, frozen meals. He said that three years ago he ate at Cracker Barrel and it was a fantastic meal. Chicken and waffles or something. But he's been there twice more since then and said both times the food tasted frozen and hospital-like.

But Cracker Barrel won't change that. Preparing meals from scratch again will be too costly.

Instead they'll... spend $700 million on PR and crappy re-branding and then cancel that effort and just flush the $700 million down the toilet.

The CEO, Becky Problem-Glasses, still has a job for some reason.

Nevermind, I know the reason. She's a Woke Leftwing Woman and can only be promoted, never fired. Woke Leftwing Women want all the benefits of engaging in highly-competitive capitalism -- huge salary, big bonus even when you lose money -- but none of the accountability and punishment for failure.

Speaking of ditzes promoted for no other reason than their politics and gender, Alexandria Donkey-Chompers is staying at five star, $1000-per-night hotels as part of her sacrifice for the "Fight the Oligarchy" movement.



To fight the oligarchy, she must live like the oligarchy.

New York "Squad" Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- who fancies herself a working-class champion against the ultrawealthy -- appears to have lived it up at ritzy hotels with her team during her cross-country "Fighting Oligarchy" tour with fellow far-left Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), campaign filings suggest.

AOC's campaign shelled out $3,508.92 alone at the Vdara Hotel & Spa -- which boasts a five-star relaxation retreat and posh penthouses -- in Las Vegas during the tour in March.

Baseline prices for some rooms at the ritzy hotel can run up to nearly $1,000, depending on the day.

It was not immediately clear what type of services the darling of the socialist set may have enjoyed at the costly hot spot, what time frame was involved or how many staffers helped rack it up the hefty bill, which was first reported by the Washington Examiner.

Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders, a millionaire, began their "Fighting Oligarchy" tour earlier this year to mobilize the country's progressive base against the Trump administration.

Her campaign's Vegas hotel expenditure occurred around the time of a town-hall event she participated in about a 20 minutes away with Sanders and Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) in Northern Las Vegas on March 20 to rail against the top 1%.

"The only division that is truly hurting our country the most is the endless greed by those at the very, very top at the cost of everyone else," Ocasio-Cortez proclaimed to cheers from the audience at the time.

Elizabeth Warren raged at RFKJr. for no longer mandating the covid non-vaccine for children. She demanded that he mandate a medically-unnecessary clot shot so that the left's many neurotic hypochondriac child-smotherers could inflict their Munchausen's-Syndrome-By-Proxy mental illness on their children and get it paid for by insurance.

Now Blue States are creating fake findings to force insurers to cover these medically-unnecessary, dangerous shots.

Kathy Hochul, a sexagenarian who Karol Sheinin never tired of pointing out demanded that everyone be masked at all times despite never wearing a mask in public herself, is now rewriting New York health guidelines to claim that physical activity creates a risk of "long covid." She's claiming this so that she can categorize healthy, physically-active children at a heightened risk for covid and thus mandate the clot-shot for them.

When will we stop these fucking maniacs?!?


Five years after COVID-19 lockdowns punished physical activity outside the home, possibly facilitating adverse events mistaken for biologically elusive "long COVID," the Empire State is explicitly warning residents that exercise is a threat to their health.

The claim that "physical activity" is an "underlying medical condition" that increases a person's risk of "severe COVID" showed up in the New York State Department of Health's guidance to pharmacists and physicians on how to circumvent Trump administration policies so that all New Yorkers ages 3 and up, regardless of health, can get COVID vaccines.

A physician who works in New York and New Jersey sent the Sept. 5 guidance to former Senate pharma corruption investigator Paul Thacker, he said in his newsletter Sunday.

In six steps, the guidance explains how to prescribe "patient-specific orders" for COVID vaccines "off-label," meaning for purposes the Food and Drug Administration hasn't expressly authorized and lists the conditions that trigger the state's strongest recommendation that a given group "should" be vaccinated, one of which is "physical activity."

Vaccine boosters were less friendly to off-label uses during the Biden administration, with his FDA allegedly interfering with doctors' attempts to prescribe ivermectin as a COVID treatment and securing legislative authority to ban off-label uses at will.

"I have never seen any Dept of Health encourage off label prescriptions ever," the physician identified as "Michelle" told Thacker. She's baffled by the physical activity warning: "Your moderate activity that keeps you healthy, keeps your cholesterol down, your blood pressure down, is what they actually say is putting you at risk for severe COVID."

Apparently the Democrat caucus in Congress still has a J6 committee in operation -- why? Why are we allowing this? -- and they've appointed a crack team of
partisan maniacs and Likely Chinese Spies to staff it.


House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) proudly announced the names of the other theater-kid members he wants to join him on a new subcommittee investigating what happened on January 6, 2021, and it goes as badly as you imagine.

To kick things off with this clown car, Jeffries named Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) to be the lead Democrat on the new subcommittee.

And as you can expect, Swalwell took the mic and suggested J6 was just like other days that will live in infamy in our history, like Pearl Harbor and September 11, 2001.

It's almost too dumb to respond to. But here's the clip and comments in full.

Swalwell says the three "most important dates in American history" since the Civil War are the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on "December 7, 1941, September 11th, and January 6th."

He also called J6 the "worst of wrongs," and he continued to draw a comparison between what happened that day and the terrorist attacks on 9/11.

Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) was next up, and she got a turn to say something crazy when she claimed that the GOP-led J6 subcommittee is nothing more than a distraction from President Donald Trump.

She claimed that it's an attempt to distract from Trump not lowering the cost of food; however, the cost of food has gone down under President Trump, but she can't be distracted by things like facts.

Alex the Chick recommended this as a "sweet story." Well, let's take a look.

If you're older than 29, you may remember that Oliver North, the Marine who oversaw the alleged arms-for-hostages deal with Iran, was pilloried by the media for having an affair with his secretary, Fawn Hall. Forty years ago.

Apparently, they -- he, 81, she, 65 -- just got married in a "secret ceremony."



Oliver North and his loyal former secretary Fawn Hall reportedly married in secret last month -- 40 years after their leading roles in the infamous Iran-Contra affair.

A copy of the couple's marriage license, obtained by journalist Michael Isikoff, shows North, 81, and Hall, 65, were married in Arlington County, Virginia, on Aug. 27.

"It was a secret marriage," a friend of the newlyweds told Isikoff.


...

Hall, North's glamorous secretary at the NSC, was granted immunity by prosecutors investigating the case as she revealed that she destroyed, altered and hid evidence implicating North and others in illegal activity.

The former secretary revealed that she helped North shred mountains of documents related to Iran-Contra after the Justice Department caught wind of the weapons scheme.

...

After the scandal, Hall worked as a model in Hollywood, Calif., where she married Danny Sugarman, the manager of rock band The Doors, in 1993.

Hall was married to Sugarman until his death in 2005.

Meanwhile, North went on to found the Freedom Alliance nonprofit for wounded veterans, author several books and host "War Stories with Oliver North" on Fox News from 2001 to 2016. He also served as president of the National Rifle Association in 2018.

North reconnected with Hall last December, at the funeral for his wife of 56 years, according to Isikoff, writing for the "SpyTalk" Substack page.

"She rekindled the relationship at the funeral," a friend of the couple said. "They started spending time together."

Can something that started illicit ever become licit? I don't know, but I think after forty years: Sure, why not.

Good news: A Democrat judge in Michigan has tossed the deranged five-year persecution of Michigan's alternative electors for daring to believe the election was rigged (which, btw, it was).

In a major gut-punch to Michigan's Democrat activist Attorney General Dana Nessel, Governor Whitmer-appointed Judge Kristin Simmins has ignored party allegiance and decided to put an end to the lawfare against 15 innocent Republican electors from the 2020 election, who cast an alternate slate of electoral votes for President Trump in a state where the stunning election results were highly contested by many.

The 8 felony charges against the 15 electors would have carried life sentences for most of them:

COUNT 1: CONSPIRACY- TO COMMIT FORGERY- FELONY: 14 Years and/or $10,000.00 fine.

COUNT 2: FORGERY -- FELONY: 14 Years

COUNT 3: FORGERY -- FELONY: 14 Years

COUNT 4: CONSPIRACY- TO COMMIT UTTERING AND PUBLISHING -- FELONY: 14 Years and/or $10,000.00 fine.


COUNT 5: UTTERING AND PUBLISHING -- FELONY: 14 Years

COUNT 6: CONSPIRACY- TO COMMIT ELECTION LAW FORGERY -- FELONY: 5 Years and/or $10,000.00 fine

COUNT 7: ELECTION LAW -- FORGERY -- FELONY: 5 Years and/or $1,000.00 fine.


COUNT 8: ELECTION LAW -- FORGERY -- FELONY: 5 Years and/or $1 ,000.00 fine.

Recently, The Gatway Pundit shared a stunning video that showed MI AG Dana Nessel on a Zoom call with a far-left group, bragging about how, if the judge (Kristin Simmins) decides to send the alternate electors case to a jury trial, she's set them up to be tried in the deep blue city of Lansing, MI, where it's very likely they won't get a fair jury trial. In other words, Michigan's top law enforcement officer is mocking these 15 mostly senior citizens who are entitled to a fair trial for not being able to receive a fair trial.

I think that September 17th will turn out to be the most efficient, drama-free, distraction-free day of work in a century.


And yet she persisted.

If I know how big corps hide losses and shitty asset writeoffs, and I do, then this $700k number is complete bullshit. It’s maybe 10% of that.

The quarter or half year after a big management change or bad news is called the ‘purge’ quarter. All the dogshit shit they’ve been carrying on the books for years is suddenly written down or off, which causes a yuge loss which is often hidden with gimmicks like expenses for research or rebrands.

The current management basically wipes the slate clean and gets a nice fat fresh start on the new periods, which management will of course take credit for.

One of the oldest scams on the books.

Time for Scotus to put Jacobson v. Massachusetts that allows mandatory vaccinations to rest. If it requires a probable cause to merely draw blood for a test, it should require the state to have a helluva lot more to mandate vaccines.

Jacobson in that case already had a very bad experience in Sweden with mandatory vax and had already had the vaccine at issue in Mass. Mass fined him anyway and Scotus backed that up.

Time for that precedent to die like Humphrey's Executor.

In a way, J6 was that bad. It is when Congress praised the killing of two unarmed women, one through a severe beating by police, the other by being shot at from point blank range.

Then the Congress went ahead and went through with their coup d' etat by endorsing the obvious fraud, followed up by a huge false flag attack and the torture of thousands of innocent people.

What's to be said? A racist maniac who was being protected by Charlotte politicians and cops for no reason besides his skin color butchered a young woman for no reason besides her skin color. When it happened, they and the lapdog Charlotte media tried to sweep it under the rug, but that got bollocksed up, and now the President is coming after them.

That's literally the entire story.

I have autoimmune issues plus a genetic IGG3 subtype deficiency in resisting respiratory viruses So, after getting a bad case of Covid in 2021 then severe bronchitis immediately afterward. My entire immune system crashed and I suddenly had sudden spikes in BP to stroke level in an unpredictable fashion. Took monoclonal antibodies to end the problem months later.

Whether that fits long covid or not, I more or less had severe complications from that first go around. Worse the second time early in 2022 followed by pneumonia and the bp spikes. Then again in 2023 and had to take Pavloxid to stop that and by that time had all pneumonia vaxxes that existed.

Never recovered totally from those infections and they spiked my inflammatory arthritis to eleventy leaving further damage in joints, spine, etc.

Had to retire as a consequence.

Applying pressure to her neck would be a start. It might have been hopeless and it might not have been. Arteries if completely severed (in her case: carotid) will spasm on their own and slow blood loss. If partially severed you bleed out quickly.

146 $700 million of shareholder's former wealth down the drain so that a Woke Girlboss could show off to her hipster Vasser alumnae.
++++
Not quite. And only sort of.

Investors are out about $250 million. That's how much the market cap has shrunk over the past month. They didn't spend all that much on the rebrand yet. They had *planned* to spend $700 million. They didn't come anywhere close to that. A bunch of new signs went up and a few stores got turned into generic hipster restaurants. That wasn't free it, but it wasn't hundreds of millions. Not yet. Not ever, now.

The losses are in the huge stock declines, but even they aren't really close to $700 million. They can't be, because of the obvious question in this whole thing.

CBRL's market cap has mostly floated between $1.3 and $1.6 billion this year. It's down to $1.12 because of this debacle, but it has bounced around in that range otherwise, except for one spike. So the better question, in my mind, is why the executives thought committing ~50% of their market cap to rebranding was feasible. It's an expensive job to renovate restaurants, but half of the enterprise value?

I had it before the vaxx was available. Then again, I have autoimmune issues anyway due to inflammatory arthritis. But it was something probably caused by the man made spike in the virus and later in vaxxes that could trigger problems.

In my case, I have extensive bloodwork including full immunology workups for the various anti arthritic drugs over time that I have taken so I had a reference point of before and after. Most people don't.

167 CBRL's market cap has mostly floated between $1.3 and $1.6 billion this year. It's down to $1.12 because of this debacle, but it has bounced around in that range otherwise, except for one spike. So the better question, in my mind, is why the executives thought committing ~50% of their market cap to rebranding was feasible. It's an expensive job to renovate restaurants, but half of the enterprise value?

I spent about a year or so learning the lingo and science behind viruses while I was laid up. Very early on, Indian researchers caught on that the virus had features that could only have come from being human made aka the furin cleavage and it was reengineered from earlier corono viruses in order to spread faster by being less lethal in the short run. That was promptly hushed up as the full Covid/Election Cheat/Lockdown machine was in high gear.

FWIW, Moderna had some inkling what was going on as they were issued patents that closely resembled the virus when in the wild shortly before go time that they later used for their vaxx.

It is being reported that between 80 and 85% of mothers who received the vaxx in the first trimester suffered a miscarriage. For contrast, mifepristone is touted to be 95-99% effective.
This was known during the initial testing, including the cause of the miscarriages.
It also can cause sterility in very young children, concentrate in ovaries and testes, and affect sperm motility in men.

Anyone who pushed this, especially on mothers and children has got to be having trouble sleeping, either out of guilt or out of being chased down by enraged mobs

Direct pressure with a damn tee shirt might have helped if the carotid was completely severed as it will spasm. If nicked she would bleed out, but I would have tried to help her. She might have had a chance til paramedics got her. If anyone is bleeding apply pressure. Try, dammit.

If a knive or something is impaled, don't remove it...as it will bleed out if removed. Keep the patient calm. "Yes, I know there is a knife in your abdomen, what are your pet's names?" My poor sons knew this when before they were in junior high, bless them.

Posted by: Bigsmith
======
Wasn't in my case but then again I already had prior autoimmune issues. Healthy people with healthy immune systems could very well damage their system. Essentially, the vaxx was a prophylactic (meant to eliminate the massive body inflammatory response to the spike in the virus thought to be the cause of most fatalities). If I understand it correctly (my doc was a former Navy doe and he specialized in infectious disease), the vaxx was designed to teach IGG4 system not to recognize the spike as an enemy--this was to prevent the inflammatory response and also allowed the vaxx to manufacture spikes inside the body. Apparently then, the spike itself became a toxin and it tended to accumulate in different places for different people just like Covid appears to attack different organs in different people--probably due to viral receptors in that organ.

Natural immunity tended to destroy the spike entirely and cleanse it if the person had normal immune responses. Vaxxed people can't get the spike out of their system and booster makes it worse.

Blade work requires experience like you have. In my case, the Indiana Jones solution is better and I avoid places I cannot carry being retired now. That being said, KaBar makes their TDI knife that is effective for close end defense and easy to retain. Has basically a pistol grip with the same angle as a J Frame revolver. IIRC 3 inch and 5 inch blades with the same hilt.

If the bastard came back I'd fight him as best I could and a kick to his nuts. Maybe that would help, maybe it would not, but I'd be knifed trying.

Problem is that they stuff all sorts of food additives, not for health, but for other purposes like staleness, shelf life, etc. Many of those are poorly tested and almost none of them have long time series analysis of whether or not these are harmful to humans.

367 The other night was unofficially the largest aerial attack on Ukraine since the start of festivities. Something like 700+, plus some ballistic missiles. Mostly targeting military airfields/assets, and electrical infrastructure.

And now Trump calls on the EU to impose 100% tariffs on China and India for their purchases of Russian energy exports. US policy (at least the public diplomacy and comms) on this whole thing has been wildly incoherent, to say the least. Which actually isn't important to outcomes, probably, but interesting. The implicit premise of all efforts to "pressure" Moscow to do/not do something here is off, and seemingly shared by all in the west.

393 $700 million of shareholder's former wealth down the drain so that a Woke Girlboss could show off to her hipster Vasser alumnae.’

If I know how big corps hide losses and shitty asset writeoffs, and I do, then this $700k number is complete bullshit. It’s maybe 10% of that.

The quarter or half year after a big management change or bad news is called the ‘purge’ quarter. All the dogshit shit they’ve been carrying on the books for years is suddenly written down or off, which causes a yuge loss which is often hidden with gimmicks like expenses for research or rebrands.

The current management basically wipes the slate clean and gets a nice fat fresh start on the new periods, which management will of course take credit for.

One of the oldest scams on the books.

399 A few years before The Great Idiocy and subsequent hyper-inflation, we'd reduced restaurant eating dramatically, entirely due to the value proposition just collapsing. We only went to good places that we liked. But prices just became ridiculous (again, prior to 2020).

Two (good) burgers and two craft beers for $75???? Try $40, maybe. (numbers from memory, but illustrative of some of the real shockers that changed our habits)

Now? Lol. Among the many many things I can't understand in today's society is how restaurants stay busy enough to survive given the unbelievable cost of eating there. Goes along with housing prices (live in a severe real estate bubble area).

459 And now Trump calls on the EU to impose 100% tariffs on China and India for their purchases of Russian energy exports. US policy (at least the public diplomacy and comms) on this whole thing has been wildly incoherent, to say the least. Which actually isn't important to outcomes, probably, but interesting. The implicit premise of all efforts to "pressure" Moscow to do/not do something here is off, and seemingly shared by all in the west.
Posted by: rhomboid at September 09, 2025 07:32 PM (U/Byj)

The selling of oil to third parties for resale back to Europe was the nod and a wink way to get Russian oil while crowing how you embargoed Russian oil.

Trump is in contact with Russia behind the scenes. He has little interest in sanctions that already failed. He's telling the EU to put up or shut up.

It is more to the point that mom and pop restaurants using fresh ingredients were badly damaged by the Covid shutdowns and massively escalating labor costs. So they close quite frequently especially if their clientele can no longer afford it and the owners eventually get tired of being owned by their restaurant.

Chains have more flexibility and bulk buying power but seek to reduce costs to the minimum to maximize price. Costs of ingredients and labor to cook it are the easiest costs to reduce by using pre-prepped food form food wholesalers like Sysco. They also tend to have the ability to buy into more expensive and visible locations and for travelers represent a sure level of mediocrity versus perhaps an intestinal adventure at a mom and pop.

524 >>Society honors heroes but, it rarely requires them.

I think the times this has been accurate are precious few. The history of man isn't the last few decades. It's mostly been brutal and required heroes all the time in many ways. Hell, the founding of this country isn't just a fairy tale, it's a time when people risked everything including their lives and those of their families for freedom and in the grand scheme not that long ago.

I think we lost something vital when we assumed we didn't need heroes every single day and just relied on government to make sure we didn't need them.

The line between civil society and brutality is very thin as has been demonstrated graphically over the last few years. We always need heroes.

It depends on situation. If you are just eating, then fine. I eat it too.
But if you going out to have a good meal I want it to taste better than what I can cook at home.

That is true across the board and always has been. McDonald's had it's fryer. Burger King had "Charcoal Broiled." KFC had their pressure fryer. Pizza places have yeast dough and pizza ovens.... It is always about the process better than what you can do at home.

Except now, it isn't. Now it is frozen bags in a microwave and their "signature sauces" and atmosphere. That'll be $120, and 25% tip.

Also some Uke drone strikes up near St Petersburg that seemed like they might have used Baltic airspace along the way. So it's been a thing for a while.

Based on aerial assets aloft over the Black Sea and other things, looks like another large russki strike on Ukeistan tonight (their time). If this was some Russian drone it was probably part of tonight's salvos.

It's easy to imagine being regarded as a savior AFTER THE FACT, but if you intervene during a stabbing and kill the attacker and the victim survives and perhaps isn't even harmed, EVERYTHING Is Different.

YOU are the Killer, in this scenario. Sure, he was going to kill her. But he didn't. Now YOU are the Killer. And you'll be in the police station for a while, and then in court. And the Fake News will ruin your life because You killed a colored man with "mental health issues."

Yep. Mas Ayoob called it the Mark of Cain even if your killing is justified.

From what TJM said earlier though, it appears that some people did step up to help the woman but the video is slowed down by some sites. Whole attack took about 15 seconds. By measure, if your firearm is optimally placed and you are average in drawing, it takes at least 1.5 to 2 seconds to draw and make the fire/no fire decision and you might have to move for a clear shot.

From training and seeing endless videos of attacks--these attacks happen fast which is why distance is needed to figure out a response before the person can close with you.

Oh, I agree - at least about the food and service. The last time I was in one, I watched the cook preparing three of four breakfasts at once, and he was amazing in the rapidity and efficiency of his movements; practically artisanal waffle-making.

As to the customers...I never had any trouble with anybody, and there was only one time - in Jacksonville, Florida - that I got some ominous vibes.

Posted by: Its Go Time Donald



Texas A&M’s president announces on his Facebook page that the university’s dean of the college of arts and sciences and a department head have been removed from their administrative positions.

Monday night’s statement (September from Mark Welsh said the removals came after he learned of unidentified key leaders in the college approving plans “to continue teaching course content that was not consistent with the course’s published description”.

Welsh also stated “If we allow different course content to be taught from what is advertised, we let our students down.”

The president finished his statement by saying “When it comes to our academic offerings, we must keep our word to our students and to the state of Texas.”

Welsh’s statement did not say what if anything happened to anyone who taught the undisclosed courses resulting the personnel actions against the dean and the department head.

691 Hmmm. Wild guess is some sort of Uke (=US or allied assisted) trickeration, probably electronic, made some Geran drones go stupid and wander on to Poland - where several apparently have been shot down by Polish and NATO (Dutch F-35) aircraft. Also one flying towards Moldova. Lots of drone strikes at the usual target areas in Ukraine, so just a small number of the total involved. No idea. Some of the dimmer usual suspects already huffing and puffing.

695 Tipping 30% is insane. I have done that if it was a small check and the waitress was really good, but as a matter of course? Hell no. And all these fast food and mall kiosk places putting tip amounts on the touchpad when you order? Fuck that shit. You're not even serving my food, and you aren't tipped workers per IRS rules either. It's stupid and off-putting.
Posted by: It's more out of control than bears at September 09, 2025 08:22 PM (TbWk/)

20% should be the standard. Better service gets you more than that.

So if your bill is $99, the tip should be $20 or more, unless the service sucked. Then it should be $15.

I don't tend to have interactions with Karens. I'm not entirely sure why.

One time some dumb broad was driving too indecisively, and I zoomed past her into the right turn lane while she was still making up her mind whether she wanted turn or not.

She started bitching at me as we both were going to the same place of business. I simply said "you must be high" and kept walking.

791 Man Starts Moving Amid Funeral Preparations...

A man who was declared "brain dead" in Nashik started moving and coughing while preparations were on for his final rites, his relatives alleged on Friday.

Bhau Lachke (19) from Trimbakeshwar taluka, had been declared brain dead by doctors at a private hospital at Adgaon after he sustained serious injuries in an accident some days ago, they claimed.

"While we were preparing for his funeral, he started moving and coughing. We rushed him to the district hospital, where is undergoing treatment at present. His condition is serious and he has been put on ventilator support," Lachke's relative Gangaram Shinde said.

Meanwhile, the management of the private hospital claimed Lachke was never declared dead, adding the family was confused over certain medical terms."

There was also that short-lived politician, Thomas Ravenel, son of a politician named Arthur Ravenel, Jr.

They named the new Cooper River Bridge after his dad, but the son was a screw-up, alcoholic, cocaine addict, famous for embarrassing himself (and the rest of us) on a reality TV show named "Southern Charm".

He was arrested and charged, while holding the office of State Treasurer, by the Feds for purchasing 500 grams of cocaine.
He was sentenced to 10 months in jail but never served it.

He's also been arrested for sexually assaulting a few women, but as far as I can tell only had to pay a fine and never went to jail for anything.

858 >>@Jack Straw, that is perfect. My wife pulled two Nike boxes out of the closet just the other day, filled with our CD's from the 1990's. I had to defend owning this album. (She had lots of Culture Club, so I won.)

I dearly miss the fantastic music we had when I was growing up. The late 60's through the 70's into the 80's was absolutely golden and what we had was vinyl, bootleg cassettes and the devils handmaiden, 8-track. You had to go and find it.

But boy howdy was the music better in ever single way. Thank the powers pretty much everything is still buried somewhere on the tubes even if makes purists tut, tut. Still far better in almost every way than the new crap.

860 I do tend to tip generously, but there was one time, at a family diner in Western Montana, me and the family. I could tell she had been working pretty much all day, and was exhausted. The boys were well-behaved, we chatted with her, and she smiled.

She was at the register when we paid out, I left her 50 bucks. she kind of welled up.

966 Progressives wish for a perfect public transportation system that they centrally control and manage.
You enter at 0630 and are deposited near your assigned work at 0730.
At 1700 to 1730 you enter the transportation to be deposited home at 1830.
M, Tu, W, Th, and most F.
So why would you not have it perfect for the Kulak and Proletariat riders?
All you would need to do is make it a safe space for women and families.
No Michael Jackson bullshit. No mariachi bands (every fucking stop on the Long Island into Javitts). No turnstile jumpers.
Safe, clean, secure, sanitary, and friendly.

Posted by: Emmie celebrates the Audacity of Trump! at September 09, 2025 09:34 PM (FMtrg)


Uh...hmmm...

You could put rival gang signs on your face and see how he reacts. Maybe they shave their eyebrow gaps a little differently, or you could henna tattoo their signs.

I'm thinking there are other things you could do, but that would involve having a really really good friend who has a backhoe.

Here it is:

One minute and forty-nine seconds of treasonous conspiracy captured on videotape:

The Director of National Intelligence: @DNIGabbard

The evidence that we have found and that we have released directly points to Barack Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment. There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact: Barack Hussein Obama attempted to overthrow the United States government in 2016, overthrew it in 2020 to cover it up—and now he’s been caught.

Just think about one thing—this is only the tip of the iceberg. 2016 was just the attempt; 2020 was the overthrow.
