Had to make a stop at the Broke Spoke in Kiln, Mississippi last night. Brett Favre’s hometown bar. One of the best dive bars in the American South. Only about 45 minutes outside of New Orleans.

“We just say we don’t care anymore we’ve had enough of all that nonsense” Rupert Lowe answers an Australian journalist who says saying talking about the Anglo-Saxon cultural group is “white supremecy”
Elvis Presley showed up at the White House unannounced carrying a Colt .45.
He had written President Nixon a long letter on American Airlines stationery during a red-eye from Los Angeles, and hand-delivered it to a guard at the northwest gate at dawn. He was offering his services in the war on drugs. He wanted one thing in return: a federal narcotics badge.
That same morning he had gone to the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs and asked the deputy director for the badge to his face. The man said no.
So he went over his head to the President of the United States.
He came back at noon in a velvet suit and cape. The pistol was a WWII Colt .45 he had pulled off the wall of his Los Angeles house on the way to the airport. Secret Service took it at the door.
Nixon heard him out, looked at his aide, and the aide nodded.
Elvis got his badge. Then he shook the hand of the President of the United States.
The photo is still one of the most requested images in the National Archives.
@TheDixiecratMan His remarks have caused me to question whether he was ever right at all about the points I believed him on. His history was so bad and his take so egregious that it makes one wonder what’s actually going on with him.
