VOLUME 129

KINDA CURRENT NEWS.

While I was perusing YouTube this evening, sorta my hobby lately, I came across a video by Matt Walsh I want to share with you. The reason I feel compelled to share it is because this has been an ongoing topic at our house for a long time now. A situation that became noticeable during the Covid years and has gotten worse, a lot worse.

RESTAURANT FOOD SUCKS!!!

My family consists of two people and a wire haired terrier (he doesn’t like to be called a dog). But to everyone else in the world he’s a dog, except of course other wire haired terrier owners. Restaurants don’t care what breed he is, he ain’t coming in. The point is, we eat out a lot because my wife says cooking for two people is too hard. When she has a sign in her kitchen that says”for show only” I really don’t believe her. But I don’t have a choice because I ain’t cookin’.

Almost 100% of the time, after a meal at our local restaurants, we immediately have a conversation about how terrible the food was. Then we begin to analyze why. Although we come up with our ideas, we really have no idea, we just know that a few years ago you could get meal that was genuinely delicious and were anxious to go back again. Sadly, those days are over. My favorite dish at our local Appleby’s is blackened Salmon with mashed taters’ and broccoli. You have to be a complete moron to screw that up. Anyway, after hundreds of disappointing meals I saw this video by Matt Walsh and it made complete sense. Click on the link below.

As far as fast food restaurants go there are three in my area I frequent, that have pretty darned good food. Number one is “Nancy Jo’s Burgers and Fries”. They have seven locations and the burgers and fries are delicious at every single store. “Nancy’s” is locally owned, and managed by the owners, so the food is always fresh, never frozen.

Number two: Arby’s, I have been eating at Arby’s ever since they first opened when their stores looked like covered wagons. As a matter of fact, they still sell the old fashioned “Super Arby’s” roast beef sandwich with sweet and sour sauce. I love ’em. Their Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip cookies are killers.

Number three: Chipotles, the food is super tasty and priced affordably. Two people can have a large meal for under 25 dollars. Problem; they have a large turnover of employees, and the quality of food can be iffy at times. The proper level of seasoning is paramount, and the newbies don’t always get it right. But, it’s right most of the time.

I love fish, and apparently nobody knows how to cook fish anymore. I won’t buy it unless I know the restaurant and have had good luck in the past. The last piece fish I bought at a Denny’s was so over cooked the edges were like hard plastic. It was terrible.

Good luck in your dining away from home folks. It’s a real crap shoot if you’re in unfamiliar territory. You might want to ask a local resident before you lay down your hard-earned money and walk away horribly disappointed.

VOLUME 91

POLITICALLY INCORRECT, CENTER-RIGHT PERSPECTIVE ON CURRENT NEWS EVENTS

SORT OF A STRANGE THANKSGIVING, BUT A GOOD ONE NONETHELESS.

My wife and I have four offspring between us. I use the word “offspring” because all of them are old and couldn’t be remotely referred to as children. My oldest daughter turned 68 years old this year. Don’t bother trying to do the math. Anyhow, they are scattered from heck to yonder, and no way are they all going to show up for Thanksgiving. The only time all of them will show up at our house is for the reading of the will. Boy they will be surprised; I already spent their inheritance and then some. Don’t look at me expecting to see a sad face of regret, I had one hell of a lot of fun.

Anyhow, they all checked in by phone, messaging, and Face Book. I’m considering myself lucky ’cause all of ’em are apparently doing well, not one of ’em asked for money. I’m thankful for that, because I just saw a great deal on some 9 mm. ammo. Thinking I’m a little short of .45 cal. as well. The Democrats have been unusually quiet, I don’t trust those suckers. I’d feel better with a little more fire power.

How could Thanksgiving be any better with Trump back in the Whitehouse? Is that great or what? He saved us from the crazy Commie Harris and Tampon Tim. Now, stop and really think about that for a few minutes. Kamala and Tim are a couple of knucklehead clowns themselves, can you imagine what Kamala’s cabinet would be like? It would likely look like the latest Jaguar commercial. Could she even find enough freaks to fill the slots? I break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.

Did you think even for a nano second that “Crooked Joe” wouldn’t pardon his crackhead son? When you really think about it, Joe couldn’t afford to have Hunter on trial, because he was bound to get entangled in the details. He had no choice, he had to pardon Hunter for his own protection. I can’t believe we had a crime family in the Whitehouse.

I don’t think Joe Biden actually knows what the word “truth” means. One of the biggest collection of lies is in the following short video. Click on the link below.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/biden-ill-always-tell-you-the-truth/2020/03/12/4b1bc4f5-62a8-4a80-85c5-73d55d2d0bad_video.html

When you reflect on the past four years, you have been lied to like the wife of a drunken gambler. I challenge you to tell me one thing that came out of the Biden Whitehouse that was true. It was literally a full time “smoke and mirrors” show.

I have never been more proud of my fellow Americans who saw through the lies and deception and made the right decision at the ballot box. My faith in America has been restored and I am extremely thankful for that. God bless you all, you stayed vigilant, you acted courageously, and I am proud to be counted amongst you.
