After kicking White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders out of her restaurant, Stephanie Wilkinson, has been forced to step down as Executive Director Main Street Lexington organization. Wilkinson is a co-owner of the Red Hen restaurant, and up until she kicked out Sanders, was well-respected in her community.
Her resignation came over email from the President of her local board who stated: “Considering the events of the past weekend, Stephanie felt it best that for the continued success of Main Street Lexington, she should step aside.”

A big problem with Libs is that they cannot seem to realize that their are consequences for their actions.
Of course, this will give some Libs the platform for a ‘what happened’ whine tour.
The phrase “Life is hard; it’s harder when you’re stupid” (also variously rendered as “Life is hard; it’s even harder when you’re stupid” or “Life is tough, but it’s tougher when you’re stupid”) has long been a favorite of memists, nearly all of whom attribute the saying to iconic Western film actor John Wayne. It sounds like something the blunt-speaking Duke would have said, and that’s sufficient for most people. But John Wayne didn’t actually say this, either as a line of character dialogue in a film or speaking as himself.
This line has been claimed of various characters played by Wayne in a number of movies, most commonly the 1949 release Sands of Iwo Jima, in which Wayne portrayed the battle-hardened Marine sergeant John M. Stryker — the IMDb even listed this saying as one of the film’s memorable quotes. But no character in Sands of Iwo Jima, Sgt. Stryker or otherwise, speaks such a line. And no one has yet turned up a film clip or script documenting the phrase as something spoken by a Wayne character in any other movie.
So where did the phrase come from? Is it yet another great saying thought up by that witty sage, Anonymous?
The earliest known cinematic use of this thought (whatever its precise expression) appears in the 1973 crime film The Friends of Eddie Coyle, which was in turn based on the 1970 novel of the same name by George V. Higgins. The book’s title character is an aging, small-time criminal and informant who works as a gun runner in Boston’s Irish-American underworld; but it is another character, the young gun runner Jackie Brown, who ends up saying, “This life’s hard, but it’s harder if you’re stupid.” That line comes through almost intact in the film version, rendered by actor Steven Keats (playing Jackie Brown) as “This life’s hard, man, but it’s harder if you’re stupid”:
“That will be the closing her of restaurant.”
I think the Red Hen’s goose is cooked!!!;)

Thank you for that.
You can pick your causes, but you can’t pick your consequences.
This will be sent to some liberal ministers/supervisors trying to push their churches/cities into being sanctuaries.
Good! Why do so many women go on insane rants? I’ll leave the answer to other people to figure out.
I’m hoping this insane SJW loses her business, goes bankrupt, and gets arrested for leading a group to physically harass Sarah Sanders. The men around her won’t help her - the guys wearing “pussy” hats won’t be much good.
YES ! CONVICTED CHILD MOLESTER
The Lexington VA area went big for Trump.
I heard the Lexington PTB were very angry with her.
She did quite a number on the image Lexington business owners tried hard to burnish.
Now its back to square one, thanks to this imbecile.
A variation on this comes from a talk radio guy here in Phoenix. Said it came from his Mom, so it might have been around for awhile, but I like it:
If your going to be dumb, you better be tough.
SMH....these people.
The Duke, John Wayne.
Nobody likes a crowd screaming outside their house.
Naw, “timbre!” is what the logger yells when he falls a tree!
has been forced to step down as Executive Director Main Street Lexington organization
IOW, that organization isn't worth a **** -- it had one chance to stand up for its probable and very much alleged goal of a welcoming community and diversity, and came down four square against it. FAIL. Thanks blueyon.
Post #61 oughta do it.
