Interwebz is down again. Go read the folks on the sidebar. Hopefully I’ll be back tomorrow.
Straight out of the left’s playbook…
Want to know how activists in places like Portland take over roads, smash windows, light buildings on fire, and still have the press call them non-violent?
Good work from Wokal Distance via Thread Reader, HERE.
And then there’s this…
The other thing of interest is that if you ‘support’ BLM with a donation, you’re actually donating to Act Blue, which is the Obama superpac.
Buyer (or donator) beware…

Interesting how quickly he changed his mind…
And the ballistic beatification of the protester in Austin has begun…
Several protesters — including Foster, who was holding a rifle — approached the car, and Foster had his rifle pointed at the ground, witnesses said. The driver pointed his gun outside the window, fired several shots, then sped away, witnesses said.
Other protesters with rifles also fired shots after the driver did, said witness Julian Salazar.
First article, HERE.
AUSTIN — A 28-year-old man who was pushing his fiancée’s wheelchair at a protest in downtown Austin was fatally shot Saturday night, the couple’s families say.
<snip>
“He was going to these protests because he was fighting against police brutality,” Sheila Foster said Sunday. “He was pushing her wheelchair across the intersection when this happened. Thank God she didn’t get hit.”
Second article, HERE.
And so it begins… Where does it end? I have no idea, but I’m afraid it’s NOT going to end well!
Oops, apparently scheduler didn’t ‘schedule’ correctly…
Sorry!!!
Had some guests in from out of town, and it was my turn to cook last night.
So I did a southern dinner, from old family recipes…
Shrimp and grits with Tasso gravy and sides.
However, it takes some ‘assembly’ to actually put the plate together. But my guests were pretty accomplished eaters…
The finished product, prior to devouring. Shrimp over cheese grits, tasso gravy, green beans with onions, seasoning, and enough bacon grease to add a little ‘taste’ to it.
It went over pretty well…
You need to see this…
What he says is true. Period, end of statement.
Sadly, this isn’t far from the truth in the IT world… They want unicorns…

This happened to a friend up in Manassas, VA. But, I’m betting this isn’t the ONLY place it’s happening…
Serious warning if you call out for food a lot.
Xxxxx wanted Pizza Hut pizza so I googled the number. I called. First question she asked was our number, which Pizza Hut usually does. But then she asked name and address. I asked if our order history showed. She said it didn’t. I figured computer error, so I gave it to her. I placed the order, a cheese pizza for Jaime. She asked pickup or delivery. Delivery. She gave the order amount as $19, and asked cash or credit.. I said I’d pay the driver cash. She said it would be 20 minutes and with tax and delivery fees it would be $26.
Whoa. Backup. What delivery fees? I thought delivery was free. Nope. $5 delivery fee. Then she asked which Pizza Hut was nearest me. I said “your is”. “What address or plaza ?”, she asked. Aren’t you at the store I called? No. Do you work for Pizza Hut? Too long of a hesitation before she answered yes.
I changed my mind. I’ll pick it up since the store is only a few blocks away. She gave the price as $13 dollars. I didn’t ask about the 6 dollar difference between pickup and delivery prices, before the $5 delivery charge and double Virginia sales tax was added. When I picked the pizza up I grabbed a delivery menu so wouldn’t have to rely on google again.
I’m assuming the numbers google links to is some food delivery service, like grubhub or doordash, rather than Pizza Hut. With all the add on fees they doubled the price of the order. They call in your order, pick it up, and then pocket the difference.
So be careful.
Just checked locally, and the SAME thing here, at least for one Pizza Hut location…
One wonders… Accidental or on purpose? I know what MY guess is…
Interwebz is down again…
