“Run-of-the-mill family gatherings involved afternoon runs to Burgerville, with a pad and paper tallying a dizzying number of burgers, fries, and milkshakes. Izzy’s Pizza was a favorite of ours, as was Hometown Buffet for special evenings.” danielbennett.substack.com/p…

He’s a danger to our constitutional system, but man, he knows how to be funny.
Donald Trump to McDonald’s workers in East Palestine, Ohio: “I know this menu better than you do. I probably know it better than anybody in here.”
Free paper idea: We haven’t had a president with a four syllable name since Ronald Reagan, and before that, we had Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, and Lyndon Johnson in quick succession (to say nothing of John (F) Kennedy and Harry Truman pre-Eisenhower).

Setting aside the larger problems of abandoning our constitutional experiment because of political differences, a national divorce would devastate red states.
We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are… nitter.1d4.us/i/web/status/162…

Stay tuned — we have more coverage in the works and coming next week!
Surprised at @CTmagazine under reporting on Asbury. They did a couple of things, but not in proportion to the conversation and moment happening around the world with Gen Z.
