“We don’t need white people leading the Democratic Party right now.”

So, again, we see that to a significantly loud number of black people, all that matters is race.

Color, if you will.

Not philosophy, certainly not ability, just race.

And, again, who is the racist here?

If she and her supporters believe that strongly, then they could, of course, form their own party….say the Black Lives Matter party.

Or just call it the “Darkies” for short. Or just the Black Party…Or something like that. I really don’t care.

Here is the rub though…..they need WHITE PEOPLE’S money. There aren’t enough black people who will give even a dollar. Not enough folks that care enough. Who likely won’t vote, but certainly won’t give any money to run the party nor do the ad campaigns even if they found a candidate. And nobody wants to work for free, even to achieve their goals……So they want to take over the DNC….

They need white folks money and organization to get what they want…..

But that has been the way things have worked since the Civil Rights Movement, isn’t it?

Castro dead.

Fidel, that is.

Not that he has mattered for the past 10 years or so…..The media says I am supposed to care, but my Give-A-Shit meter just won’t move off the peg….

Now, will the irritating bunch of “refugees” in Miami finally go home?

I may well have to rethink my stance on staying away from the crowds of frenzied, creaming, psychotic shoppers clutching credit/debit cards in their sweaty little hands and running towards their “deals”.

The one reason to shop on Black Friday….

45 years ago, he left a plane mid flight with $200K and a parachute.

No one knows if he survived.

Yes, I am talking about Dan (D.B.) Cooper

We will likely never know the whole story.

I shall avoid all retail establishments today and for the weekend.

‘Twas pointed out that I can stand the crowds in a gunshow , why not Black Friday Sales?

I think it is because of behavior….Gunshow crowds are, for the most part, well behaved, orderly, and polite. Not so with the post Thanksgiving shoppers.

Via FaceBook:

“Who wants to dress up in Bear costumes and go tear apart the tents of the people camping outside Best Buy for Black Friday?”

If I had a bear costume, I might try it….

I have much to be thankful for this year. Too much to list, in fact.

I sincerely  hope you do as well.

And if you are missing out of being with family, friends, or loved ones because you are on duty in some foreign land, or standing a post here in the US, or are Law Enforcement/First Responder duty, or are forced to work in some Service job…I thank you for your service.

America has not seen so many butthurt white people since the Republican Party forced the Democrats to free their slaves

Yeah, that oughta leave a mark…

And realize that they weren’t actually helping their students?

Or did they just get tired of the derision from the rest of the world?

(or maybe the students didn’t use the “self care rooms” for some reason?)

University of Michigan cancels plan to help students ‘cope’ with Trump using coloring books, Play-Doh and bubbles

Whomever thought this shit up needs their ass kicked….

Y’know…the owner of Penzey’s spices…..

“Since I ask you to read my emails, I feel it’s only right that I read each of your replies. In sifting through those replies it was clear that, though not intended, a good number of people seemed to sincerely believe that in my statement I was calling all Republicans racists. In the emails of those Republicans who voted for someone other than the party’s nominee, I sensed genuine pain at having the strength of character to not go along with what was happening, but nonetheless be grouped in with those who were. I apologize for writing something that caused you pain; that is not the person I want to be. You are your party’s future, and you deserve my admiration and respect, and your country’s as well.


For the rest of you, you just voted for an openly racist candidate for the presidency of the United States of America. In your defense, most of you did so without thinking of the consequences of your candidate’s racism, because for most of you the heartbreaking destruction racism causes has never been anything you or your loved ones have had to experience. But the thing is elections have their consequences. This is no longer sixty years ago. Whether any of us like it or not, for the next four years the 80% of this country who did not just vote for an openly racist candidate are going to treat you like you are the kind of person who would vote for an openly racist candidate.


You can get angry at everyone else for treating you like you just did the thing you just did, or you can take responsibility for your actions and begin to make amends. If you are lucky and younger family members are still coming over for Thanksgiving, before it’s too late, take a moment and honestly think about how your actions must look through their eyes. Simply saying “I never thought he’d win” might be enough. But if you have the means, leaving a receipt from a sizable donation to the ACLU or the SPLC accidentally laying around where you carve the turkey, might go over even better.


Or, just do what you do best and volunteer. Through our customers’ support, we’ve given away a lot of our Penzeys Pepper, the Pepper with heart. More often than not, those we meet cooking and serving food to feed those in need are Republicans. You really are a good bunch, but you just committed the biggest act of racism in American history since Wallace stood in the schoolhouse doorway 53 years ago. Make this right. Take ownership for what you have done and begin the pathway forward.”

I (used to) spend a lot at their stores and/or online.
Brigid and I have both recommended their products. I can’t speak for her, but I won’t recommend them anymore. I won’t buy from them anymore.

My letter to him today:

I reference the letter you sent to your customers regarding our voting choices.
