@robbystarbuck Now for a little foodie history. Crackers were sold in barrels in general stores across North America from the early 1800s through the early 20th century, primarily as a method to prevent them from being crushed during transit.
1) @robbystarbuck The most common type sold in these barrels were large, puffed soda crackers, specifically known as "common crackers" in New England, which were a staple in country stores and used for thickening chowder, as a snack, or for making crumbs.

@RevolverNewsUSA John Bolton's security clearance was revoked by President Donald Trump on January 21, 2025, the first day of his second term in office.
1) @RevolverNewsUSA This action was part of a broader executive order that also stripped security clearances from over four dozen former intelligence officials, including those who had signed a 2020 letter suggesting the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop were Russian disinformation.

Dr Gorka is unconcerned about the few loud, woke right, social media influencers & doesn't believe that the majority of American conservatives agree with them. He believes the threat is Iran & it's proxies & Americans support Israel.

Israel is fighting a shared, common enemy. Further, Gorka compared Tucker Carlson to a "shallower version" of Pat Buchanan stating that isolationism goes back 100 years.

That’s OK. Move them. There are alternatives with infrastructure already in place that can do the games with less expense anyway.
1) How about Florida. Central Florida (Orlando) already has the hotel space, the sports venues, and the transport network that could more than accommodate the whole thing, especially if some events were distributed to the Tampa area and South Florida.

NEWSRAEL: Democratic Socialists of America vote to expel Israel supporters

At its 2025 National Convention over the weekend, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) voted to make support for Israel’s right to self-defense an “expellable offense,”

Tucker Carlson wrote, "Self-described evangelicals like Ted Cruz and Mike Johnson have no interest in how Israel treats Christians. Mother Agapia Stephanopoulos has spent years living in the region. They should listen to her."

Arab refugees from Israel ~ 600,000 - 750,000 1947–1949

That is where the term Gerrymandering comes from.
