hell, let’s just rename EVERYTHING “55555555” and call it a day- that way nothing will ever be ‘racist’ again, and noone will know a thing about our past because all history will be erased—

Always best to bury one’s head in the sand than to face reality /s

“Let’s be frank here, Texas needs to break away from the rest of the nation!”’

If it was up to the northern Whigs who eventually became the Republican Party, Texas never would have been admitted to the Union in the first place.

Texas’ annexation was passed by a coalition of southern Whigs and Congressional Democrats.

The admission of Texas ignited the long simmering border dispute between Mexico and the former Texas Republic.

The not yet famous Whig Congressman Abe Lincoln gave a speech condemning America as immoral for its war with Mexico. Apparently he later changed his mind about both the morality of war and Texas being a state.

His speech:

When guilty, white liberals who own big companies quit kowtowing, pandering and quit cowering in fear at these anti-American, feral savages burning and looting the country. Buy Dominoes pizza. They’ve decided there’s nothing wrong with their brand and have refused to give in to these punks.......so far. Hell, we’re gonna starve to death around here if someone doesn’t grow a pair and stop this crap!!!

I think the Chicago Blackhawks are more racist than the Texas Rangers. Ditto, the Chicago Bulls. You first, Chicagoans.

Burger King

Neglecting the King part, we have

Booger King
or
Bugger King

I strongly prefer neither in my Burger King burger.

Looks like MLB will impose a 60-game season.

No 16-game playoff or man on second base to start extra innings, at least not yet. What a couple of horrible ideas. Over half the league in the damn playoffs? Teams under .500?
