So, Ted Cruz is doing a "bus tour." I can't imagine being stuck in a bus with Ted Cruz for hours at a time. So I wondered... Is he actually taking the bus? 🧵 Image The tour is for Truth and Courage PAC. Cruz goes around and stumps for Republicans. They're making a stop here in Woodbridge for Yesli Vega.

I have appreciation for all great bfast chains, but Waffle House (where my cousin worked in HS in Ohio) is next level. I was happy when we moved south of DC to be close to one, and when the pandemic happened and groceries got scarce, WH sold staples at reasonable prices, like a grocery. I wanted to buy a box of steaks but was rejected.

Very well run company.

This is nothing like the worst rental car experience I've had (also with Hertz). Read the whole thing. We probably should have driven, but a colleague of mine at TWS was coming with me to Cleveland to scout out our preparations for the 2016 convention.

In retrospect, we should have just driven.

Here, Josh is quoting a novel “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini.

These are not 'Islamic rules', as Josh claims

Not much difference between the rules required of women in the novel and Josh submitting to Trumpism. Sadly. Here's Josh's sourcing.

Johnny's Half Shell may be gone, but its oyster crackers live on. #twittersupperclub Their food/service was great, as were these bar snacks.

Seems to me that this TPUSA fusionism breakdown forgets one crucial point: None of this matters because these kids aren't going to learn much of anything from this rostrum of speakers. They couldn't even spell Evil Paul Rudd's name right.

In the Swift house, we like to make paninis out of leftovers on the Cuisinart Griddler (one of a few items I was allowed on the wedding registry.) #Twittersupperclub So, for dinner tonight I am making Turkey / Gravy / White Castle Stuffing and onion cheese paninis on asiago cheese sourdough bread. (With some Tony Chachere's of course.)

A fundamentally unserious proposal from somebody who should know better. You can play this game at home if you'd like. You could try this in, say, a Congressional office, firing everyone and replacing them with new people all at once and see how quickly things get back up to speed.

Does The Federalist have to put up special labor law posters next to its office, a mailbox at a UPS store on Richmond Highway in Alexandria, VA, too? I mean, they're going to appeal this about deleting a tweet, when they deleted the "black crime" hashtag no problem. Lot of sound priorities over there: victimhood uber alles.

WayBack machine reference! Drink! #MICanvassHearing John James's lawyer not only forgot to mute his desk phone, which is distracting him, his calendar invites and notifications are blowing up. Lol.
