Trump: "In a sign of Strength and Fortitude, it was just announced that The WH Correspondents’ Dinner, which violently ended rather abruptly, will be rescheduled to July 24th. I was asked to be there, and speak, by Weijia Jiang, President of The WH Correspondents’ Association, and have accepted."

Trump: "In a sign of Strength and Fortitude, it was just announced that The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which violently ended rather abruptly on April 25th, will be rescheduled to July 24th. This announcement is a very good thing in that we cannot allow Lunatics to change our way of life, or even its scheduling. I was asked to be there, and speak, by Weijia Jiang, President of The White House Correspondents’ Association, and have accepted. I don’t know whether or not I will give the same rather nasty statements, at least as it concerns certain people, but we will soon find out. In any event, it will be a 'HOT' ticket! Interestingly, the location will be The Waldorf Astoria, on Pennsylvania Avenue, a Building and Ballroom that I built. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

you'll be glad to know that this one is still around, although it was moved a short distance to the town center, and also an even larger pecan has since been built in Texas. www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2138

Former World's Largest Pecan, Brunswick, Missouri

12 feet long and six solid tons, it's a nutty claim to fame made of custom-painted concrete.

part of the Chili Bowl chain that thrived in L.A. in the 1930s and then unraveled in the 1940s. this location was at 12244 W. Pico Blvd and its final incarnation, before it was razed recently, was the Michelin-starred sushi restaurant Shunji Japanese Cuisine. more info: foohowser.com/the-chili-bo...

I couldn't let that Confessore piece slide. It was such a disgusting hit piece on a vulnerable community in a moment of crisis. I dissected the article and why its framings are dishonest at best and outright lies of ommission at worst. www.thedissident.news/anatomy-of-a...

Anatomy of a Hit Piece: Deconstructing The New York Times' Attack on Transgender Rights in U.S. v. Skrmetti

Seemingly not content with the US v. Skrmetti decision issued by the court siding with Tenessee to ban gender affirming care for trans youth, the New York Times was ready to pour salt on the fresh wou...
