Do the Crime, Do the Time...............from Rico

The RussiaGate 'conspiracy' was not only a criminal HOAX, it was a failed COUP.
- It should be followed with REAL jail time for the perpetrators and their enablers.

Restaurants - CHANGE..............from Rico

The only 'constant' is CHANGE.
- Change can be for the better, worse...or indifferent whether politics or restaurants.
 
When I first made FL my residence (late '70's-early '80's?) the neighborhood restaurant was the long-established "Little Red Schoolhouse" [think: Bob Evans,only with flavor aka Southern 'comfort food'].
- When I returned decades later, it had morphed into "The New England Alehouse" which had a menu so good it would eventually put them out of business. [An episode of 'Restaurant Turn-arounds' or whatever the TV show is called - I don't watch TV - was just filmed there, right before it failed]
- The same location is now "Das Brauhaus" which I haven't yet tried, but has 'Schnitzel' painted in the window (I saw no 'Schnickengruben', however). We'll try it and see...I know what 'schnitzel' is supposed to taste like, having lived in Germany.*
 
There was another nearby restaurant "Catcher's in the Rye" which had THE best 'Brunch' menu I have seen, be it Tokyo, Hong Kong, or wherever.
- The only lasted a few years.
- The same location now boasts the "Iron Oak BBQ" which has a wonderful menu, and a yuge 'smoker' out back...the 'barbeque' [think: barbacoa] being a verb and not a noun. I'll enjoy it while it's smokin'...the menu is too good to sustain a profit, I suspect.
 
If I seem harsh, let's say realistic. When I was briefly involved in Commercial Contracting, I hated...let me say that again HATED building restaurants.
- Sure, they had really 'interesting' designs and themes [think: "Shenanigans" from the movie "Waiting" which I highly recommend btw, if you've not watched it I think it's the "Office Space" of restaurants...but I digress{ because they were on such tight budgets that when the  work had been finished, and they had to choose between paying the contactual 10% retainage to the contractor or paying for the cash register...guess what? The place being done, needed a cash register to open for business and the contractor had to sue and screw to get 50-cents on the dollar owed (if lucky upon judgement, after legal fees you could 'win' and still 'lose' money).
 
My point?
1. It is not urban myth that the small businesses with the highest failure rate are restaurants.
2. The 'trend' is not the restaurant's friend:
- Case in point. People are eating self-cooked food more often now that they have more 'options' and can control the contents themselves (salt, sugar, fat, carbs).
a. Last year I started using an air-fryer at home. It made healthier meals quickly, and it was easy to make "chicken wings" (American), "Nasi Goreng" (Indonesian), or "Fried Rice" (Asian) without any of the msg or crappy synthetic oils restaurants use.
b. This year I am using an Instant Pot (digital pressure-cooker) and have so far made an easy-healthy version"Bulgogi" (Korean)...and future menu options seem limitless.
 
WHY go spend money...sometimes serious money...on restaurant food that has been 'doctored'  with 'stuff' to taste better?
- IF this is a 'trend' then it does not bode well for an already marginally-profitable restaurant business.

Dear Democrats [C]..............from Rico

Dear "Progressives"...
- Make YOUR OWN decisions/choices, but NOT mine.
 
Yes, I'm talking to you "progressives" aka "Socialists" aka "Democrats"....you're ALL Communists IMO, just hiding behind different labels like chameleons.
- In two words for ALL of you [read: all y'awl]: PISS OFF!

Mueller - You're kidding me...................from Rico

After TWO Years of Leftist Looney Tunes, an obvious...if 'inconvenient'...truth has been revealed.
- All the histrionics, hysteria, breathless reporting, speculation, and accusations were BS!

Now enjoy some popcorn and watch the fun while the ignoranuses seriously melt-down...
- I kid you not.

French Troops vs. French Citizens: A Lesson in Gun Control................from Rico

"Mon President Macron...the citizens are revolting!
- Oui, (sniff) they most certainly are..."
 
The Yellow Vest protests continue in France. [read: French citizens are revolting against the betrayal of their own Government which now represents Globalism-Socialism, and not French citizens.]
- The Police (who have guns) have not quite been 'enough' to quell the rioting...
 
What is a detached 'Liberal Elite' willing to do to protect itself from its own citizens?
- Why, deploy armed troops. Soldiers (who have guns).
 
The Government of France has deployed armed French Soldiers against French citizens [read: Yellow Vests].
 
While the American Left is busily 'not letting a good crisis go to waste' by braying for Gun Control in the aftermath of a shooting in New Zealand, they and their lapdog MSM are NOT explaining what 'happens' when gun control is centralized in the hands of a lawless and Criminal Government, and the 'rights' of their unarmed citizens are subject to Government diktat and whim.
- While there are many 'examples' throughout history (Armenia, Cambodia, Communist China, Nazi Germany, Soviet Union, Venezuela), the ignorati need only to look at France today!
 
America...for now...still has 'enough' citizens who are willing to stand up and say "I'm your huckleberry" to give their own 'Librul Elite' pause.
- The Left wants to 'fix' that situation...

What's the point?...............from Rico

What IS the point?
- Venezuelan money is now worth exactly ZERO, thanks to Democratic Socialism, so what is the point of robbing a Venezuelan bank today? Some bank robbers found out the hard way.
 
Take this to the next level and ask:
- What is the point of Democratic Socialism? Some Venezuelan citizens found out the hard way.



It Was An Attempted Coup...................from Rico

While everyone has been 'distracted' by the Washington Kabuki Theatre, no one seems to have 'noticed' the attempted COUP.
- That is exactly what this was, or in a word TREASON.
 
If it can be argued that contemporary America is no longer an operative 'Republic' for the people and by the people where equal justice, due process, and the presumption of innocence it is thanks to the efforts of the American Left.
- Hillary, Obama nee' Soetoro, the entire Democrat (C) party, Mueller, and the weaponized-politicized 'deep state' [think: IRS, DOJ, FBI et al] have amply demonstrated that two classes now exist de facto...the would-be 'rulers' and their 'subjects.'
 
There is plenty of 'proof'....and plenty of trees & lamp posts (more rope can be made).
- The Lefty assholes who were screaming "justice" the loudest are the very ones who need to have it meted out...to themselves!
 
Tar, I'd like to introduce you to Feathers!



Meet 'Woke Feminist' Ken & Barbie..............from Rico

This may make a few 'man buns' feel a little too tight, but what the Hell!
- Go ahead and 'clench' soy boys...you put the yoke onto yourselves.
 
The days of 'Honeymooners' Ralph Cramden and/or 'Father Knows Best' are long over and never to return, thanks to the 'Woke' Socialists who destroy everything they touch...from Doris Day to first-wave feminism [think: Gloria Steinem], which they have now turned into Feminazi-ism [think: Andrea Dworkin].
- Meet the snowflake millennial version of 'woke feminist' Ken & Barbie...

Hot and Tasty Emma Roberts in Bra and Panties

She's a babe man.

See, "Emma Roberts in Bra and Panties."

BONUS: "TOP 20 HOT NAKED ENOUGH INSTAGRAM MODELS."

And just like that, they suddenly HATE the Electoral College..............from Rico

Leftists are an untrustworthy lot, have been for a long time (remember the Stalin-Hitler non-aggression pact?...of course you don't, the institutes of higher indoctrination would never criticize two Socialists, especially not "Uncle Joe" Stalin as fellow-Leftist FDR called him) and this time it's the Electoral College that is in the Lefties crosshairs.
- When it's 'convenient' they like it...when it's 'inconvenient' then suddenly not so much.
 
In all fairness, it's not just that the Democrats [read: Socialists-Communists] HATE the Electoral College and are now pushing to get rid of it for being in their path to power...they HATE America and the Republic* even more than they LOVE being in control.
 
*In descending order of power, a Republic vs. a Democracy compared to Socialism:
- Republic - People, Local, State, Federal
- Democracy - Federal, State, Local, People
- Socialism - ALL you 'people' belong to the Government, and you will STFU & OBEY.



Another 'streamer' from the FED?...........from Rico

Remember 2001? 2007?
- How about waaaay back in 1987? Remember that?
 
Do we have yet another 'streamer'* thanks to the FED? It's not to late to ask:
- Who packed your parachute?
- Do you even have a parachute?
 
*Streamer: When a parachute fails to deploy/inflate.



The Mueller Nothing Burger is served...................from Rico

Perfectly 'timed' for the "News" to be announced on Friday...so you Deplorables will 'fergit' by Monday, 'ya rubes...was the end of the Libtard Mueller 'we got 'im this time fantasy.'
- After how many years of BS and million$ of taxpayer dollars wasted, the Mueller 'witch hunt' is ended as a yuge 'nothing burger' with Hillary 'not-so secret sauce' is served.
 
The 'usual suspects' who pushed this pure BS Hillary inspired and funded "Trump Russian Collusion" scam hardest hit.
- Schiff and Schumer publicly 'schitt' and Maddow 'cries on air'...the schadenfreude is sweet with this one.
 
So, if El Chapo's fortune can be seized as restitution for for his criminal activities, how about Ma Clinton's fortune?
- The American taxpayer is due some compensation for damages and pain & suffering...

Let's HOPE....................from Rico

The inhumanly cruel 'Caliphate' that ISIS ruled is dead...but the twisted Islamic 'dream' is not.
 
The 'Calphate' crumbled as soon as its creator, financial backer, arms supplier, and 'protector' Barry Soetoro (who assumed the fake name of Barack Hussein Obama) was OTH (over the horizon).
- Trump promised to bomb the shit out of ISIS. He kept his promise.
 
Don't know what the 'shahada' is? It's the Muslim handsign used by ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood to (a) make a statement, and (b) as a recognition signal to other Musloids.
- Look at Barry giving the 'shahada' hand sign, then look at the clear indication of Muslim Brotherhood Morsi's smile of recognition.
- Here are a couple more pics of Muslim assholes giving the 'shahada' hand sign.
 
Have you 'figured out' yet that Barry was NOT on Christian America's...or the West's...side?
- May pig shit be upon him!

Humiliation Yes, Crisis No - All Is Calm Outside the Bubble...................from Dan T






If the politicians had been removed from the process immediately after the June 2016 referendum, Brexit would have been all too easy.  Great Britain would have been free from the chains of the European Union bureaucracy for a whole nine months enjoying the prosperity that self-government and free enterprise always bring.

Instead the politicians took control of the process and put their own globalist agenda before the will of people leaving Great Britain humiliated on the world stage and still locked into the EU institutions almost three years after the people voted to leave.

If the politicians were serious about fulfilling their promise to implement the result of the referendum they could have repealed the 1972 European Communities Act immediately and just walked away leaving the door open for a trade deal or they could have triggered the Article 50 leaving process on the 24th June 2016 utilising the two year leaving period for both sides to prepare for World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.

Bearing in mind that the bankrupt Eurozone is dependent on the British market to survive, it would be in the interests of the EU to beg for a bespoke trade deal. They could have tabled their requirements and the British side could have accepted it or not depending on its value to the British people and their economy.

Any experienced negotiating team not involving politicians would have used this leverage to their advantage, but it was not utilised by the British government because they are dedicated Europhiles who do want to leave or put their beloved European Union at a competitive disadvantage.

Left: 'Beating 'em like they own 'em'...............from Rico

Many were 'bemused' (if not 'surprised') at FOX's sudden sharp Left turn. [Think: Brazile, Ryan.]
- Simple, follow the MONEY...$66.1 billion to be precise.
 
That's what the flaming Caviar Communist Lefturds at Disney paid for ownership/control of FOX.
- If you can't beat 'em like you 'own 'em', then buy 'em and literally 'own 'em'!
 
Just another example of the corrosive Left destroying everything it touches...
- Socialist Assholes!

Stellar NEWS this morning!................from Rico

Simply STELLAR 'news' this morning!
- Outstanding!!
 
Validates my earlier 'choice' to make the Appalachians my 'Summer' mountain hideout...er, home over urban shit holes like Chicago, D.C., or Detroit.
 
Cherokee County, NC has declared itself a "Gun Sanctuary County" to protect the right* (not privilege) of private gun ownership from gun-grabbers.
- Operative words: Private, as in 'my property, NOT yours' and/or NOYFB (None Of Your Fucking Business).
 
*A 'right' exists separate and above anything a Government has any 'say' about...a 'privilege' may be granted, or withdrawn. Think about that for a moment.
 
PS - FYI: The MSM has been spreading the 'false story' that Kiwi's have been voluntarily turning-in their firearms upon their Government declaring them illegal.
- As a matter of FACT, so far, there have been THREE instances of this (all 'coincidentally' Leftists).

For the European Union to Survive Great Britain Must Fail....................from Dan T




For disciples of the European Union project to replace the sovereign states of Europe with a single, centrally controlled superstate these past few years have been a nightmare.

If the economic collapse of the Eurozone and Angela Merkel’s disastrous immigration free-for-all weren’t bad enough the British people voted to leave and take their 13 billion pounds per year membership fee with them.

The 13 billion pounds is a bitter blow to the EU finances but it’s the likelihood of Great Britain prospering once they are free of the crushing regulatory regime that will eventually signal the end for the corrupt and failing Union.

The British economy is the best it’s been for decades despite the daily tsunami of crushing regulations and diktats that emanate from Brussels. Domestic businesses and their workers, along with foreign investors, are salivating at the thought of an economy free from political and bureaucratic interference.

To Euro fanatics at home and abroad the political project to create a single, multi-cultural, egalitarian superstate takes priority over the security and financial well-being of their citizens so the poverty, murder and mayhem visited upon them is considered a price worth paying.

When Great Britain succeeds after taking back control of its laws, its borders and its money justification for surrendering national sovereignty to a cabal of unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats in Brussels will be gone.
