@TheLastRefuge2 You ought to see their ice cream cake dessert...from a distance, it looks like a small moon. And as it comes out, it gets bigger and bigger. Gibson's is great, I've eaten at the downtown one, and the one in Rosemont

@USAReding Joe "Death Wish" DiGenova finally comes for the Deep State!

@TheLastRefuge2 A fascinating explanation of the start of these globalist issues is in Theodore White’s great book, The Making of the President 1972- great detail about the trade deficit going negative f the issue with the ongoing Marshall plan, unfavorable trade agreements with Europe, etc.

@TheLastRefuge2 I thought I remembered reading at the time that it was Chris Christie who strongly recommended Bill Barr

@IngrahamAngle @AriFleischer How about playing the Harry Truman "Rain of Ruin" address, exact same thing the President posted, probably taken from Truman's address:

@JesseBWatters How about playing the clip of Harry S Truman and his "rain of ruin" address? Exactly the same thing the President said:

@TheLastRefuge2 @barnes_law Alex Jones was on the radio here in Austin in the early 2000's shilling a six cassette tape set about black helicopters. He's a bad affiliate marketer, mostly trying to promote worthless supplements that clearly don't work for him.

@TheLastRefuge2 @barnes_law @RealAlexJones Absolutely- I've got a wine channel on YouTube, and yep, if you want views, you've got to get the algorithm to like you. Luckily in wine, it's all fun and opinion, and making good content, and no one is ever really wrong. But chasing $$$ at the mercy of a political algorithm? Ug

@WallStreetApes You ain't making any money by owning a winery, that much I can tell you.

@TheLastRefuge2 What I like about her most is her ongoing hair tribute to Blackie Lawless of W.A.S.P.

@gavinscocaine @MissVega8888 100%, I was there for it too, graduated HS in 1989. It was absolutely the best time to be alive, and to be young.

Check out The Legend of Billie Jean if you haven't seen it, it was filmed in Corpus in 1985, released in 1986, and perfectly captures how it was back then.

[John Alanis, Certified Sommelier @johnalanis]

@MissVega8888 It was the best of times, and it was the best of times. I grew up in the 70's, graduated in HS in 89, and still can't believe it all ended.

@RWApodcast Sadly, it is 100% true.

@TheLastRefuge2 He did, however, spontaneously pee on the Alamo in 1982, which got him (sadly) banned for 10 years until he donated $10k to the Daughters of the Texas Revolution and was reinstated. Then he challenged the mayor of San Antonio at the time to an exercise bike competition, and won!

@RennReed You can get Domaine Diochon shipped from https://t.co/00ql5NifFJ for $31, one of the first Cru Beaujolais I had, and I got it from them, super tasty. My Mother loved it too.

@RennReed You can get good Cru Beaujolais at Total Wine for a very reasonable rate, anything from Morgon and Moulin a Vent is generally quite good. I've had the Louis Jadot from both, and it was fantastic.

I'd recommend avoiding Village level Beaujolais, and staying in those two Crus.
