If the stormwater drains worked we wouldn't get flooding every time there's a bit of rain. Seriously. I've lived in cities that have torrential downpours and this doesn't happen.
I’ll answer the question @abbydphillip
Yes, Biden stripped the press passes of 440 independent journalists. @CNN said nothing. Had zero concern for the 1st Amendment
Jonathan Swan got a reminder that media access fights didn’t start with Trump.https://t.co/CxwDqbCDBm
James Kirchick pointed to the Obama-era seizure of AP reporters’ phone records, while Bill Maher brought up the Obama White House freezing out Fox News.
Maher’s point was simple:
“Everybody’s like this is the worst thing in the world except when we do it.”
The double standard debate continues.
In 2005, Oneida shut the flatware factory in Sherrill, New York.
A town that had made silverware for MORE THAN 100 YEARS was supposed to be finished.
Two men refused to let that happen.
Their names are Matt Roberts and Greg Owens.
Roberts had managed that factory. Owens was another former Oneida manufacturing manager. When the company ended U.S. production, they bought the plant and the equipment and reopened it the NEXT DAY as Sherrill Manufacturing.
They did not have a giant rescue fund.
They did not have a Hollywood ending waiting.
They had a building, some machines, and a workforce that knew how to make forks, knives, and spoons.
At first they kept making product for Oneida.
Then Oneida pulled the remaining American work and sent it overseas.
That should have been the end.
It wasn’t.
They took government flatware contracts to keep the lights on. In 2010 they filed Chapter 11. They sold unused equipment. They sold space they could no longer fill. They leased back only the part of the factory they could still run.
They came out of bankruptcy in 2013.
Then they did the thing that saved the company.
They built their own brand: Liberty Tabletop.
They sold 18/10 stainless flatware straight to customers who wanted tableware MADE IN THE UNITED STATES.
Not through a department store that could drop them overnight.
Direct.
Today Liberty Tabletop is the only company still manufacturing stainless steel flatware in America.
Same town.
Same trade.
U.S. steel.
About 70 jobs.
They did not bring back 2,000 workers. Nobody did.
What they saved was the last line.
If you want American-made forks and spoons, this is the factory that still makes them.
Support Liberty Tabletop.
THIS is what keeping manufacturing in America actually looks like. 🇺🇸
There is a reason that legal gun purchases in Allegheny County has seen a surge in first-time legal gun ownership since 2020 as well as an exodus of roughly 25,500 people who just left (like me) also since 2020.
Roll the tape. This isn't a flip-flop. He's lying now. He and his allies want to uproot everyone's healthcare arrangements and replace the whole system with government.
What a POS. Any SEAL would make mincemeat of this clown in less than 30 seconds. I've watched them board ships in the Red Sea and climb those ladders. It's tedious and tough, and these 3 jackwads sitting in a studio making fun of their deaths are sick.
What about shutting down public schools but allowing private schools open…or putting sand in outdoor skateparks…or flying him and his family out of the state on private jets….or the French Laundry…or holding a Presidential fundraiser in the Fab 40’s in Sacramento? I mean the list if regrets is endless.
Usha and I are very happy to hear this news and the answer to our prayers.
Thank you Susie for remaining a symbol of strength and leadership throughout this battle. Your indomitable spirit is something we can all learn from and strive to replicate.
HOLY SHLIT
Police body cam footage of MD state Senator Anthony Muse’s (D) drunken hit-and-run
He claimed a driver was driving him, but camera footage shows that was a LIE. HE WAS DRIVING. He also appeared to be intoxicated! When police questioned him he said the “governor will take care of it.”
Police declined to conduct a sobriety test and let him get away with it‼️
Unreal.
HE MUST RESIGN
