Truth in Advertising??

 

Truth in Advertising should compel the Charlotte Transportation folks to run this picture of Iryna Zarutska on the Blue Line as she watches the criminal who stabbed her walk out of the car, leaving her to die a few minutes later in their advertising.

Don't take the Light Rail!!

 On August 22, 2025, Iryna Zarutska, a refugee from the Ukraine was stabbed to death on the Light Rail in Charlotte. This story was kept under wraps until it blew up over the weekend. Iryna had fled the Russian war on the Ukraine only to become a casualty of the race war in America. She was killed by a black man who had been arrested 14 times previous to this assault. Why was this guy even walking the streets in Charlotte or "Little Chicago", which would be more accurate?

A few thoughts on this tragedy follow.

The City of Charlotte and the media kept the murder of the Ukrainian girl under wraps for two weeks before it broke the other day.  I guess that it is pure coincidence that today was the primary election for the mayor and other city offices in Charlotte.  WOW! Redefining corrupt!

Let's face it, a story like this coming out a couple of weeks ago would have some impact on the election. News organizations that failed to release this story are engaged in election interference.

The mayor praised the media for not releasing the story earlier so that the victim's family had privacy to grieve. When did the police notify her mother?

How long would Charlotte have kept a murder quiet if the killer had been a white guy wearing a Red Man cap and a Confederate battle flag T-shirt and the victim was a young black girl? It would have been on the national news within the hour. Their handling sure looks like racial bias to me.

Iryna Zarutska is Charlotte's Kitty Genovese. Like Kitty, she was stabbed to death while other people in that train car just looked away. How can those people justify their lack of action? As far as I am concerned, they are all accomplices to her murder.

At a press conference this afternoon, the US Attorney for Western North Carolina and the lead FBI agent were both asked a question about a report that the killer had said some about "killing a white girl" as he left the train. They both said that it was still under investigation, but their reactions in facial expression and body language both showed it to be true.

None of those people in the car called 911. They all just walked away, they did nothing to help that girl. We are looking at some serious issues of racism.

Until Josh Stein was elected, I didn't think that we could have a bigger piece of shit as governor than Roy Cooper. I was wrong! Stein should have gone to Charlotte when this story hit the news over the weekend. He could have made a bigger statement and taken the train from Raleigh to Charlotte. He stayed home. Morals and courage are fleeting in the Democratic Party.

Tuesday Taunts and Talking Topics

 Rosie O'Donnell apologized for calling the Minneapolis school shooter killing kids at Mass a "MAGA" person. The guy had written "Kill Trump" on a magazine for one of his guns. I don't think that meets the standards for "MAGA person". Rosie is obviously the victim of a rectal-cranial inversion. Yes, she has her head up her ass.

The real thing that no one is talking about is that the shooter wrote about the big mistake he made in trying to change genders and how he regretted it. That should have been the headline on every story. 

A federal judge stopped flights returning children to their parents in Guatemala, claiming that there was something wrong with the government doing this in the middle of the night. Where was this judge when Biden flew them in in the middle of the night??

A mentally ill man shoots up a group of school kids during Mass killing two, and wounding eighteen, and now CBS is apologizing for "using the wrong pronouns" to describe him.  You're shitting me, right??

During the almost endless war in Afghanistan, it was safer for young black men to be stationed in Afghanistan than to be at home in Chicago.

Democraps and their liberal judicial accomplices have decided that there is an acceptable level of murder and violent crime for Democratic cities and Trump should just leave them alone.  WOW!!

How many more schools get shot up by an angry transexual before we realize that the whole "trans" thing really is a mental illness?  It was always a mental illness until doctors and drug companies realized that they could make millions of dollars from it.

When they finally develop a vaccine for Trump Derangement Syndrome, we need to inoculate all of the federal district court judges first!!

Are there really people who care that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged? If you fall into that category, get a frigging life!! This isn't a romance; it's a corporate merger.

Rather than making the District of Columbia a state, they need to combine it with Loudon and Fairfax counties in Virginia and make it the world's largest insane asylum.

Somewhere in hell, Al Capone is crying the blues about having been born too soon. Al would be in heaven today in Chicago with a mayor and a state governor claiming that it's okay to murder people as long as you don't kill too many a day. 

How long before Trump Administration officials just start refusing to do any interviews with CBS unless they are only broadcast live? CBS is taking "editing" to new lows! CBS claims that the complete interviews are available on YouTube for the 26 people who watch CBS News online.

Is there anything more worthless than a federal district court judge? When Shakespeare wrote "Let's kill all the lawyers", he didn't foresee federal district court judges. Close, but no cigar, Shakespeare. 

Thoughtless Thoughtful Thursday?

 How many more innocent children get killed by an angry transsexual before we realize that these folks are mentally ill? The whole trans thing used to be considered a mental illness until doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies realized there were billions of dollars in profits to be made taking advantage of these folks.

The "medical professionals" treat a mental illness by mutilating someone's sex organs and sentencing them to follow that with a life of expensive drugs to maintain their choice of genders. It's obvious that the medical "profession" has given up on the whole medical ethics thing.

Parents who sign off on this surgery for their minor children need to be charged with child abuse and imprisoned. If your kid wants to "identify" as an amputee, will you let them have a healthy arm or leg cut off?  Of course not. But somehow mutilating your sex organs seems to be socially and medically acceptable.

Naturally enough, when a mentally ill person shoots up a school, Democrats like Chuck "the Schmuck" Schumer call to ban guns. Why didn't Chuck call for an end to tranny tolerance? Why didn't he call for more mental health treatment for "trans" folks? If the kids had been hit by a car, would Schumer be calling for a ban on automobiles or highways? 

This is the Nashville school shooter all over again. We still haven't seen all of the evidence in that case because those in power are afraid to let us read what the mentally ill trans person in that case wrote. Of course, the Minneapolis maniac left messages on his guns, magazines and shirt. We are left wondering what caused a maniac to attack a group of small children.

It is past time to realize that we need to address the issue of mental illness with those who purport to be transexuals. How many more kids die at the hands of mentally ill transsexuals before we do something? Minnesota is one of the most liberal states in the nation. Is this the price for that tolerance?

How about that lard ass governor of Illinois doing a video the other day by the lakefront in Chicago at 6:00 AM? He told us about how safe it is there. He forgot to include pictures of his security detail in the video. He even forgot to include any pictures of himself, if indeed he was even actually there. It's amazing that Democratic politicians are now telling us that there is an actual acceptable level of crime. Like everything else, perspective is everything in this discussion. "Crime waves" will be in the news when a liberal politician or news reporter gets robbed, raped, carjacked or beaten.

The most liberal anchor, Joe Scarborough, on the most liberal news network, MSNBC, asked the mayor of Chicago if 5,000 more cops would help with the rising crime rate in Chicago. He asked several times, but Communist Mayor Brandon Johnson was unable to answer the question with a simple yes or no answer. WOW!! If you are a Communist getting hammered by MSNBC, it might be time to rethink your position.

Increased police presence in the national crime capital of Washington, DC has resulted in a dramatic decrease in crime. Have Governor Prickster of Illinois and the Chicago Commie Mayor Brandon Johnson not watched the news from DC? 

Boothers and the Barrel

 I have two words for Cracker Barrel leadership: "New Coke". I realize that was before most of them graduated from high school but there's a lesson for them in that debacle. 

I know that the folks at Cracker Barrel have engaged the services of companies that do consumer research and all kinds of polls and surveys, but that doesn't carry any weight in the real world. In real world of the restaurant business the cash register talks, and all other opinions are just bullshit and theories.

If the leaders at Cracker Barrel want to make changes in their business, they need to do them gradually. It's like piloting an ocean liner, you don't make a hard left turn and just hope that everything stays in place. It won't. By trying to make dramatic changes, the brainless at the Barrel are throwing their loyal customers overboard to satisfy people who don't eat at Cracker Barrel. You don't blow up your business to build it. Ask the folks at Coke.

Forget the sign change which has now been scrapped. Forget about whitewashing the walls and changing the decor. Wait!!! An auctioneer that I buy from is one of a very limited number of auction companies to be selected by Cracker Barrel to sell all of the old decor they are removing. He's not allowed to advertise that the items are from the Cracker Barrel but anyone with more than a room temperature IQ can see that. Cracker Barrel is actually making a bigger mistake than the decor change that will cause them more operational problems in the long run.

What is that bigger mistake? They are putting booths in at their newly remodeled locations. Why are they doing that? They are doing that because that is what their "research" says that people want. People may also want drugs and sex when they make a pitstop from the highway but hopefully the Barrel will not pay attention to that research.

I am willing to share some of the knowledge that I have acquired in a more than fifty-year career in the restaurant business. I am not a "boother". I go to restaurants to eat, not to lounge on the furniture. I am perfectly happy to put my ass in a chair and eat. But there are people who must have a booth. I had a customer tell me one day that he couldn't eat unless he was seated in a booth. Naturally, I asked him about how big a booth he had at home for his dining pleasure. He told me that the only reason that he went out to eat was to sit in a booth. This guy made my Top Ten "Dumbest Son of a Bitches" that I have met in my life list.

Just to confirm my "I Love Stupid People" belief, I offer a few thoughts. Countless times, I have watched as a host or hostess asked a customer, "How many in your party?" and the person replied "Booth". I never missed the opportunity to point out to these people that "booth" is not a number. Of course, then you have the "closet boothers". These are people who you take to a table, but if a booth empties before they get their food, they jump up and go sit down at the dirty booth. Then you have to explain to them that someone else has been waiting for that booth and they need to get their asses back to their table. Yeah, it's never easy.

People sit longer at booths than they do at tables and chairs. This cuts the table turnover rate in the dining room. So, while you may have happier customers in those booths, you have fewer of them. Will the "boothers" spend more to make up for the lower turnover rate? 

Booths will increase the wait times for those waiting in the Country Store area for a table. At some point, they are going to tire of waiting and just buy a candy bar and get back on the road. Those waiting outside in the rockers won't even bother buying a candy bar, they will just leave. So instead of booths driving up sales, they are actually going to reduce sales. By the way, the check average for "boothers" is no higher than for the peasants at regular tables.

This is the problem with market research and surveys. First, people lie on surveys. Second, there is no such thing as a perfect sampling. Coca-Cola did much more research than the Cracker Barrel did and they still pulled off a screwup of epic proportions, New Coke. The New Barrel won't hold water. 

Several years ago, fast food restaurants started putting the soft drink dispensers in the dining room so people could get their own drinks. Those of us who opposed that pointed out the flaws in that system. What happened? After about a ten-year period of experimentation, soft drink dispensers are now going back behind the counter. Why? People steal.  That never turned up in surveys.

Go get those chicken and dumplings while you can!! Don't wait for a booth.

I Love Stupid People, The Saga Continues

 The average IQ of federal employees skyrocketed after AG Pam Bondi fired the dumb son of a bitch who threw a sub sandwich at a federal officer after cussing him out for being in DC.  Sean Dunn, who was an "international affairs specialist" at the Department of Justice before he decided to assault a federal officer, was fired by Bondi without a lot of discussion of his value to the DOJ. 

While Gavin Newsome wages a war against Donald Trump and the enforcement of immigration laws, people in Los Angeles cannot get permits to rebuild their homes. Memo to Greasy Gavin: People who can't get their homes rebuilt are not going to vote for a piece of crap like you and are going to share that idea with their friends and anyone else they encounter.

If Democrats had half a brain and there are many who have less, they would quit wasting all of their time trashing Trump. Regardless of what you claim, Trump can't run again for President. I am pretty sure that he isn't  even going to try. While Dims waste all of their time attacking Trump, Republicans like Vance, Rubio and Bondi are busy building their bases. It's not like Trump will wake up one morning and say, " I'm going to do things today that Greasy Gavin Newsome wants me to do. I should have known that he was right."

How about the world famous pencil-necked geek, Adam "Shitty" Schiff? It is beginning to look like the DOJ will soon be trying to prosecute Shitty Schiff for mortgage fraud. Schiff's pre-emptive pardon from Biden isn't going to help him with the mortgage issue. I don't believe that the pardon will help Shitty with the case coming about Schiff disclosing secret documents either.

It wouldn't be a complete list of buffoons without mentioning the Democratic governor of New Mexico, Michelle Grisham. On Monday, Mouthy Michelle was attacking Trump for ordering Federal law enforcement officers into the District of Columbia.  She said, "President Trump’s massive executive overreach in Washington sets a dangerous precedent and undermines safety in our nation’s capital." Less than 48 hours later, she declared a state of emergency in Rio Arriba County and the city of Espanola and area Pueblos. The hypocrisy of Democrats is breathtaking!!

Over the last few months, Dims have decided that if they use profanity, they will get more attention from the public. I have met nuns who were better with profanity than Democrats. Give it up guys, it's not making you look any better. 

Chuck "The Schmuck" Schumer is no better with profanity than he was at grilling burgers last year. More on that at Random Moments of Lunacy: Chuck is Bi???  Chuck said that he doesn't have any problems with feeling safe in Washington. He failed to mention the security detail that taxpayers provide for him. What do you expect from a guy who doesn't even know how to wear a pair of glasses?

We will cover the stupid people on the television who report the news when I have more time. Thanks for reading!!

GJ Word of the Day

 Robert Francis O'Rourke goes by "Beto" because "Useless, loud mouthed, unelectable, liberal piece of shit" is too honest and too long for a business card.

Stacey Abrams should be making commercials about her need to join Weight Watchers instead of ripping off the taxpayers for a living. Didn't I see her on "The Biggest Loser"?

ICE isn't removing all of the scum. The leftists in Hollywood are all trying to move to other countries on their own. Promise me that you won't try to talk any of them out of leaving the country. This might be the best side effect of Trump's entire time in office. 

You will notice that none of the Hollywood scum is getting citizenship in Cuba and threatening to move there. Let's face it. Outside of California, Cuba is the closest Communist country to the United States. They could get there quicker than they boxed up Rosie O'Donnell to ship to Ireland.

There was a protest in Washington DC the other day where the protesters were all singing some song trashing Trump. They weren't real protesters, they were from one of those "rent-a-crowd" places. The first tip off was that the group was overwhelmingly white. You would have to go to the Senate chamber to find a whiter group in DC. Second, they were actually singing and not rapping. Finally, they didn't try to rob anybody walking by the protest.

Governor JB Prickster of Illinois is a real gem. There's nothing like a fat billionaire born into riches telling you that he is on the side of ordinary people to cause you to realize that everything coming from Democrats is a lie. He and the communist mayor of Chicago are quite the team. I still can't decide if it is Mayor Brandon Johnson's hair or his head that actually comes to a point. 

I subscribe to Merriam-Webster's "Word of the day" e-mail service so that I can broaden my vocabulary. Yeah, right! The e-mail list that I really want to be on is the one where the Democrats send out their "Word of the Week". This week's word is obviously "authoritarian."  Trump can't go to the crapper without some leftist, halfwit, organ grinder's monkey describing him as an "authoritarian". I haven't heard "authoritarian" twenty times in the last seventy years and suddenly it is coming from the lips of every brain-dead liberal in the land. Give us break, guys! Everything that liberals do and say is scripted. The last time that a liberal did something unscripted was on the White House lawn when the Easter Bunny had to turn Joe Biden around and keep him from wandering down the street.

I did try to Google "Democrat Word of the Week" and all that I got was a link to a site called "Talking Points for Twits". The antivirus blocked me from going there.

It's almost a year away, but Democrats are already screaming about the possibility of a UFC event being held on the White House lawn. I can only surmise that they are concerned that putting up "The Octagon" may turn up some more of Hunter's stash out in the lawn.

If you don't believe that District of Columbia US Attorney Jeanine is serious about change in DC, I offer this story.

"So President Trump has vowed to make D.C. safe and beautiful again," Pirro said. "And the president's message to the criminals was, if you spit, we hit. Well, we didn't quite do that the other night when an individual went up to one of the federal law enforcement officers and started jumping up and down, screaming at him, berating him, yelling at him, and then he took a Subway sandwich about this big and took it and threw it at the officer," she explained. "He thought it was funny. Well, he doesn't think it's funny today because we charged him with a felony, assault on a police officer. So there, stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else!"

I am still waiting for some braindead broadcaster buffoon to call Pirro an "authoritarian".
