In the case of Faux News, with a few exceptions, the pampered millionaire globalist Bushbot talking heads who live in a NY-DC bubble are out of touch with the plight of mainstream America.

My county voted more like California, becoming even more moonbat. 4 years ago, Zero got 58.3% to Willard’s 39.8% (and I did not vote for that Socialist ringer). This time, the Butcheress got 60.3% and Trump a paltry 34.3%. Although the votes are still being calculated, the overall votes didn’t change much despite our booming population (she got only 5k more votes than Zero, though Trump got 14k fewer than Willard).

Statewide, it was the polar opposite, as Trump won 61.3% to 35% and she carried only 3 counties (Shelby-Memphis & Davidson-Nashville, mine, along with a Black majority rural county of Haywood, and that not by a particularly wide margin). Although Nixon got a higher margin in 1972 (68%), Trump carried more counties (93-3) than Nixon, where he lost 5 rural counties, of which voted Trump 44 years later.

There is now almost no Democrat elected officials in TN outside of Memphis and Nashville. The GOP has as many Senate seats as they can possibly win (28-5) and increased their numbers in the House (74R-25D). Worse for the Dems, 6 or more of their White-held districts are at risk.

Way.

Pepsi is better. THEY never did the “New Coke” thing... cause they never HAD to... that mess tasted like CRAP, and was a complete failure.

Haha!!!

One of the greatest marketing failures of all time.

To me, Coke was always way too sweet. That mess was even worse, gaggingly so.

But, yeah, I’m not a big soda fan either. I’d as soon have a glass of beer instead.

Not a sugar fan, overall.

I’d take a beer over a soda, yes. Refined sugar is poison.

Uuuummmm, maybe the polls are wrong about that approval rating are wrong too

Bingo!

I've always believed Obama's "personal popularity" numbers were inflated for two reasons:

(1) Many pollsters set up their questions to get the desired result. E.g. they will read a positive sounding preamble before asking the respondent's reaction. This technique doesn't always work, but it does skew the results.
(2) Some significant number of respondents were afraid to express disapproval of Obama, for fear of being considered "racist."

Robert Vaughn, dead at 83. G-Damn... :(

One of the VERY few Democrats I liked. He wasn’t an insane f**k like 99.9% of them are.

The Magnificent Seven
Bridge At Remagen
-and of course-
Bullitt

That’s it for the cast of “Seven” now I think.

we use something “Sugar in The Raw” here; unrefined. Tastes a little like brown sugar. Good in coffee, cooking, etc.

I like the Cascadia secession. Best idea yet, in that area of research.

let the west coast join Canada along with much of the Northeast.
it solves the problem of how to get CA and NY in the same country ... link them with CANADA

Much, much better.

And worse than refined sugar is corn syrup. That’s really crap and it’s in everything...

Well... I DO like corn syrup on Pancakes.... but since I don’t eat them every day, I’ll keep that in the menu :^)...

Maple syrup is good too...
