On last nights cafe post (pun intended - read on), St Croix mentioned getting Chick-fil-A gift certs and giving them to the homeless. That reminded me of the following:
I loved downtown cafeterias. There used to be so many, in department stores or in office buildings. They would be kind of hidden: upstairs, no sign outside the building. They were for shoppers or office workers who didn't bring food but didn't want to spend money or time on a sit down lunch.
DC used to have a chain called Scholl's. They were RCs and proudly displayed crucifixes, Pope pics, Sacred Hearts, etc. Their idea for homelessness was to sell gift certificates with the stated purpose of giving them to beggars.
When I first came to DC, they were down to one location. I bought some certs and gave one to a beggar at Xmastime. He was puzzled but thanked me. CC, JSM
Thune re-elected minority leader. The only way to change the Republican Senate is to primary about 10 of them 2028. They're making it clear that they don't listen to Trump or their voters.
NVIDIA Ceo Jensen Huang's affair with the Chinese Spy is the most expensive pussy ever! $420 Billion in market cap wiped out in two days. That beats Lady-Di and Helen of Troy. We're talking Guiness Book of World Records here.
Trust me. You care. All your 401K ETFs own $NVDA.
But...Damm! She's SMOKING HOT!! The Chinese know what they are doing. Nobody wants to fuck an American AWFL, or a green haired, nose ring liberal with a fupa.
I don't care how much money you have. "Eve pull down the apple, and give a taste to me...." 10,000 Maniacs.
Since no one else seems to have noticed: Massie's attempt to impeach Hegseth failed, with not a single Republican joining him. The House voted 211-203 to refer it to the Judiciary Committee, where it seems likely to die. Here's Trump's comment, retweeted by the Department of War: link.

Others noticed. It's just not the result they wanted. Like the NYT does, they ignore whatever does not support their partisan position.
