I just met some friends at a Mission BBQ location today. I was wearing a Trump hat. The manager walked up and smiled. She told me she bought the same hat for her dad. Then she gave us some American Flag magnets.

At noon, the entire restaurant stands and sings the national anthem.

Well, according to the owner of the Red Hen, her business jumped (not clear about customers, revenues, or profits, probably all three) after refusing to serve Sarah Sanders’ family.

So clearly she knows her clientele in the Virginia area.

“They may think that such a moral stand is necessary to stay in business”

Which is weird, because it seems that the “crafty” ladies (knit, crochet, embroidery, quilt) lean very right.

Why support any company that literally HATES YOU and HATES AMERICA?

Melania is an elegant first lady.

I can’t believe the liberal anger towards her, some of it really nasty and factually untrue.

For example, some liberal types say she doesn’t speak English, or speak it well enough to communicate with us. She speaks multiple languages fluently, including English. Yes she has an accent, but I thought liberals tell us not to make fun of accents people have.

The liberals imply she is some sort of airhead, since she was in the modeling business. I can’t believe the liberals would peddle such a cruel stereotype, since liberals tell us not to stereotype people. And with such a heavy presence of women and gay men in the fashion industry, I’m shocked liberals would “diss” an entire industry with perceived political allies in it.

Some radical types question whether she is even in this country legally. She is an American citizen. But here too, the liberals tell us all are welcome in America and citizenship or legal status doesn’t matter. But for some reason, some liberal/radical types question her citizenship, against their own criteria.

Jealousy.

Gawd was very uncomfortable awarding them any attractiveness at all.

They won 1st prize in being unfortunate.

She just plain won...

A lot of the liberal smears of conservatives is based on the LIE that Trump called white supremacists fine people. Once you lay that foundation, all Trump supporters can be lumped in with white supremacists.

The “Fine People” Hoax Funnel
https://blog.dilbert.com/2019/04/30/the-fine-people-hoax-funnel/

What is damning is that all of Scott Adam’s videos debunking this lie are demonetized and damn near hidden, because liberals in power in Big Tech want to perpetuate the hoax. After all, it justifies their systemic oppression of conservative content as hate speech/in league with modern evil.

Quite a complex web application too. Not just a simple site for publishing articles or a forum. It’s pretty advanced and won’t be easy for the Trump supporters to build something comparable without a good five digit price tag. Guess they’ll need to Learn to Code

They received $71,000 from their members for infrastructure back in 2008. Now their kicking members off the platform. I wonder how many donated, just to get kicked off years later.

I went to a Mission Barbecue in Nashville for the first time back in April wearing my unit hat, and every single person made a point of engaging with me.

I was very impressed. And I love the stuff they have all over the walls...:) I am an absolute junkie for that stuff, I find it interesting.

They have my business anytime I want barbecue.

Soon, the only ones remaining will be the cat ladies that can only knit one thing... left-handed pussy hats.

They started the company in the Baltimore area which is where I live, so lots of them to go to.

I’m in Michigan right now. Not as well known.

Plus the food is great and the attitude is awesome.
