This US Navy captain fled Iran as a child.

Now he's preparing to return at the helm of an aircraft carrier.

An immigrant who is from IRAN of all places and is now holding one of the top jobs in our Navy.

Does Trump and his lackeys know this?

Chick-fil-A named America's favorite fast food restaurant, dethroning In-N-Out.


In the United States, two hyphenated fast food joints have sat high upon the thrones of their regional kingdoms. In the West, In-N-Out reigned supreme. In the South, it was Chick-fil-A. Now, a survey has determined which cult favorite takes the crown nationwide. Chick-fil-A has been officially named America's favorite fast-food restaurant.

A recent report by Market Force, published by Food & Wine, polled 7,600 consumers about their satisfaction level with various chains, and Chick-fil-A ranked the highest, with a 79% "loyalty rating." In last year's Market Force report, In-N-Out was America's favorite for the second consecutive time.

No way in hell would I choose Chick File A over In-N-Out.

Enough with the fireworks bashing.

It is really tiresome. Every time the seasons occurs we get this. Yes, I understand your animals do not like them. Yes, I understand that some people do not like them.

Big fireworks shows only happens a few times year for public events. Not counting private shows at ballparks and the like. Most people enjoy them.

If people are shooting them off where it is illegal, call 911. If people are shooting them off where it is legal, there is nothing you can do but bear it.

Guns of course are a completely different thing.

As for America's love affair with blowing stuff up, that is absolutely true. One of the reasons Mythbusters was so popular was the fact they fed into America's love affair with explosions. And yes I love fireworks and explosions. I still have found memories from shooting them off as a kid. Never hurt myself or anyone else.

It will soon be over until the next time.

I am 62 years old.

I am old enough to remember the massive controversy over busing in the 1960s / 1970s. What struck me then and now, was the amount of opposition to busing in the Northeast from whites. In areas that were solidly Democratic. The actions of many whites was simply awful.

Although I like Biden, I think Harris was right in going after Biden. The fact she was able to personalize the issue made it that much stronger.

I would love to see a Warren / Harris or vice versa ticket.

And no, Harris was NOT angry.

Would you have a problem with human cloning?

If yes, why?

If no, why?

As for me, I would not. Are we NOT the party of reproductive freedom?

I am posting this because of this LBN piece. And I am fine with this, too. The guy is dead.

Parents of dead West Point cadet can use his sperm to produce a child, judge rules

Science fiction has long discussed the idea. The invention of a Uterine Replicator would make it possible.

Anyone tried one of their burgers? I am a definite carnivore, but I would like to give them a try.
