My family was from the North, but my dad was in the Army when I was a kid, and we bounced around to several bases in the South. When I got older, and talked to my parents about the Civil War, they were always adamant that the Southerners they’d known had never really surrendered, and truly believed that “The South Will Rise Again.”
I thought it was just talk, but apparently not. Southerners were holding onto that dream for better than 150 years.
I recently read an article about soy sauce being the secret ingredient for a lot of top chefs. They put it in everything.
This was the movie I immediately thought of.
It’s a terrific LOOKING movie, but the two leads had absolutely no chemistry. At first I couldn’t figure out if they were partners, spouses, dating, brother & sister, etc.
The production design was spectacular, though.
Peter Thiel’s new protege is JD Vance.
Not just minorities, they’re just first in line. White people shouldn’t feel so comfortable, once they feel like they’re getting the minorities under control, they’ll start coming for recalcitrant Caucasians, too.
They just banned it in Florida, with Meatball DeSatan calling it “forced medication,” and that if parents want their kids to have fluoride, they can give it to them. Now they want to ban those products, too.
So now we’re just going to reconfigure our entire society to indulge the fantasies of conspiracy theory weirdos?
OBVIOUSLY, she was the conduit for this entire deal. Qatar had already paid her a fortune for her lobbying services, she would have been the first phone call they made to set up the deal.

Even she has that Pakled Homan to do the real dirty work. She just cosplays for photo ops.
It’s not obscure, it’s an old, well-known nickname, you just hadn’t heard it before.
A while back, I read an article by a guy who had inherited a SwastiKKKar from an uncle, including free life-time charging. He didn’t like the idea of driving a Tesla, but free was free.
It wasn’t the reactions of others that made him throw in the towel on it, it was the poor build quality. He thought it felt cheap and rattley so he traded it in for a smokin hot Mustang. He lost a fortune over what the car was bought for, but it was free to him, so he didn’t care.
Cybertrucks are just sitting around, waiting for someone to officially label them the DeLorean of the 21st century.
Hey! You take that back! DeLoreans were always cool cars. Their demise wasn’t due to lack of popularity, the company just had problems getting established, and ultimately didn’t survive its initial growth phase.
Nobody despised the DeLorean, or it’s owner. They just ran out of money, and he tried a desperate Hail Mary play, that didn’t work.
No reason to kill everybody on the planet, but we should start with about 15 whose end would improve the planet.
Giggity
Now they would have the auctions online, and there would be no opportunity to intimidate them.
EVERY Democrat needs to vote No. This is a requirement. Any Dem who votes for this, or ANY other Republican legislation, should be primaried.
Around 9 a.m., the two Justice Department officials arrived at the library’s James Madison Memorial Building and sought access to the U.S. Copyright Office, which is housed there. They brought a letter from the White House declaring that Mr. Blanche was the acting librarian and that he had selected the two men for top roles at the agency.
They were Paul Perkins, an associate deputy attorney general who the letter said would serve as the acting register of copyrights and the director of the Copyright Office, and Brian Nieves, a deputy chief of staff and senior policy counsel who had been designated as the acting deputy librarian. Mr. Trump also fired the previous director of the Copyright Office, Shira Perlmutter, over the weekend, one of the people said.
Staff members at the library balked and called the U.S. Capitol Police as well as their general counsel, Meg Williams, who told the two officials that they were not allowed access to the Copyright Office and asked them to leave, one of the people said.
Mr. Perkins and Mr. Nieves then left the building willingly, accompanied to the door by Ms. Williams. The library’s staff is recognizing Robert Newlen, the principal deputy librarian who was Dr. Hayden’s No. 2, as the acting librarian until it gets direction from Congress, one of the people familiar with the situation said.
Finally, someone behaved like an adult, and prevented arrogant assholes from entering their agency. If they had treated DOGE this way from the beginning, we could have avoided a lot of chaos.
The first time the DOGE Pirates showed up in an agency lobby, they should have been turned away, and if they refused, they should have been arrested. If they continued to resist, with their Blackwater security goons, they should have been shot. I think that should start happening retroactively. Kick them out, refuse to let them return.
Yeah, he was a larger than life character, and the end of the company was spectacular. Most companies end with a whimper, his ended with an explosion.
I have a little personal anecdote about the end of DeLorean Motor Cars. At the end, I was living in Cleveland, OH, where DeLorean’s brother had a Cadillac dealership, which also sold DeLoreans, of course.
When the company crashed, the government, or the bank, or the court, or somebody, was coming to take all the cars that were sitting in the factory parking lot in Detroit. The local news caught a helicopter shot of a long line of DeLoreans driving out of the lot, and down the road in a long line. They didn’t bother to follow them.
A few days later, it was reported that all the surplus DeLoreans were missing, and DeLorean was hiding them somewhere, and they showed the footage of the cars driving off.
A few days after that, I was taking one of my favorite shortcuts through Lakewood, the suburb where DeLorean Cadillac was located. My shortcut was a small road/alley, with far less traffic and lights, which went behind the businesses along the main road.
One of those businesses was DeLorean Cadillac, with a big parking lot behind the dealership. I’d passed that lot many times, and it was always a mix of Caddys and DeLoreans, but this time I saw that it was FULL of nothing but DeLoreans, packed in like sardines. I had no doubt that these were the missing DeLoreans that the authorities were searching for.
So, of course I notified the authorities where they could find the cars, right? Fuck NO. DeLorean didn’t seem like a bad guy, just a major dreamer who got desperate. I always kind of admired him. So I kept my mouth shut, and made the authorities find the cars without my help.
