Monday Overnight Open Thread (10/30/23)

Quote I

“Eight years ago, it was good to have a leader who broke things. But right now, we need to have a leader who also knows how to put things back together.” Nikki Haley

What did President Trump break 8 years ago Ms Haley? Did he break the DOJ, FBI, EPA, IRS? Did he leave the Taliban with a small fortune of arms? Who left office with a Mid-East intact?

Nikki, how can you put together something that wasn't broken?

Quote II

Dean Phillips would probably lose the Phillips family primary. And he should. He's letting his ego lead him into threatening the future of democracy in America. Have a seat, Dean. We've heard more than enough. David Rothkopf

Quote III

“There's no way to contact a management company because they don't have a contact phone call. There's no phone numbers. Just email.”
HOA resident Jessica Navas

Quote IV

“It is a victory for autoworkers, and [UAW president] Shawn Fain delivered what he promised, but it is not a victory for auto industry as a whole, and not a victory for consumers,” Car Coach Reports’ Lauren Fix

I'm not Jewish. But, if I were I wouldn't feel safe in either place. Jared Kushner disagrees with me. He say's one is definitely safer.

Former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner called out the irony of American Jews being safer in Saudi Arabia than on college campuses across the nation.

Kushner, who is Jewish and married to Ivanka Trump, made his observation Sunday on Fox News in the wake of the Hamas attack on Israel earlier this month and as clashes between pro-Israel and pro-Palestine groups have erupted in cities and campuses.

Just back from a trip to Saudi Arabia where he spoke at a conference last week, Kushner remarked that they “allowed me to speak freely,” during an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“It was a very interesting time to be over there,” he said.

These Are the Best Food Deals and Freebies This Halloween
Take a break from the candy and treat yourself to a spooky snack.

Whether Halloween is a hectic day in your household—getting people in costume, making sure the candy bowl is stocked, and putting the finishing touches on your spooky outdoor decor—or it’s just another day for you, you’re going to have to eat at some point.

Fortunately, there are plenty of food deals and freebies to choose from this Halloween. Here are a few to consider.

Or you could politely ask The Fabulous to make her Bailey's Irish Cream Cheese Cake.

A fool and his money are soon parted. You require proof? Would you pay $18 for a Big Mac "Value" meal?

McDonald’s on Monday reported that its revenue was up 14% in the latest quarter — a surge the burger giant said was driven by “strategic menu price increases.”

The Golden Arches brought in a total of $6.69 billion in revenue for the three-month period ended Sept. 30 — beating expectations of $6.58 billion, according to Refinitiv analysts.

However, McDonald’s — which has 13,513 restaurants in the US and over 38,000 abroad — did not disclose how much the franchiser has increased its prices, which generally vary between locations.

One branch in Darien, Conn., charged as much as $18 for a Big Mac combo meal, whi

Chalk one up for Texas. DOJ left crying like babies.

A federal judge on Monday issued a temporary restraining order to prevent the Biden administration from cutting through razor wire installed by Texas authorities to discourage unlawful immigration.

Texas officials last week filed a lawsuit in Del Rio, Texas, requesting that federal border authorities be prevented from interfering with the miles of wire running along the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accused the administration of "undermining" the state's border security efforts, and "damaging Texas' ability to effectively deter illegal entry into its territory."

Seriously, do you think the Feds will obey a court order?

Banana Tried To Give Police The Slip
Collegian, 20, was nabbed after struggling with Key West cops

OCTOBER 30--A man dressed in a banana costume sought to slip out of police custody after being caught early yesterday urinating on a Key West sidewalk, according to cops who had to chase the fleeing reveler through Old Town streets.

After being flagged down “about a white male in a banana costume” relieving himself on the side of a building--across from a row of porta pottys--a Key West Police Department officer spotted Kyle Mortimer, 20, “urinating on the sidewalk,” according to an arrest report.

Mortimer, a son of Massachusetts who attends the University of Miami, “immediately fled toward Duval Street” after Officer Michael Chaustit identified himself. In the heart of the city’s Old Town, Duval Street features more than 40 bars (and likely other banana devotees celebrating Halloween 2023).

That's like 35 years in human years. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.
