While I always detested women who go on dates just so other people pay for their stuff, I was surprised there was a government response. It seems there was a site men could check for women doing this that disappeared the same time as a government dating site appeared. This should be good for laughs. Government-approved women. Certified virgins, makeup-free. My mission for today is to get $300 on my utilities.
I plan a lean month ahead. I came in under in September, but there were circumstances. I had no energy to do anything that cost money, and some of my household goods went below restocking points. Example, I was down to one can of Carnation in reserve. Like the rest of America, I am not happy with the price of food. We’ve had wars before and they do not triple prices. My 2023 $4 tray of chicken just cost me $13.
Any picture today will be luck. I got in the door, checked my e-mail, now I refuse to get. I put on the second half of my Uma Thurman movie, one of the “Avenger” series I otherwise don’t care for. If all housewives looked like Emma, I would have gotten married when I was 15. Hours are passing today while I remain in limbo, vegetating. Yes, the first thing comes to mind is the old people I saw in that rehab facility. But then I recall that those were unabated write-offs who did not get that way all in one-quarter of a century.
And who told you Trump was likely holding back until the last political moment? The latest projections are that all ten house Republicans who voted to impeach Trump are about to be wiped off the charts. All ten, just like that. There are at most 30 days remaining for the left to come up with something or be laid bare trying to cheat. Instead they are focusing on fake “official” announcements that Trump’s approval ratings are the lowest ever at 38%, avoiding mention the same polls show them at 7%.
Just watch them squirm. The pattern is known to the public thanks largely to both the Internet and Trump. Before, it was a relay of a fake Democrat accusation, full fake news coverage, the debunk, then on to the next. They tried that with COVID. Ha-ha, bygones, let’s carry on. Trump said hold on. There is no longer just a drop of the accusation or the rare apology. Trump rightfully points out that the debunk turns the accusations into malicious defamation. And the voters, while not necessarily pro-Trump, see the need to vote against making sure they don’t get away with that again.
Route 66 view.

Aha, I’ve wondered for years when Trump would distance himself from the old-school Republicans, who are indistinguishable from their opponents. They were all paddling the same canoe. The message from Trump at his visits and rallies is not along party lines, but upon the need for a new and improved front against communists and crazies.
Stop the presses. This just in, by special request. It’s a triple view of the Mitchburger. Ingredients by CostCo, I now of just one for sure. It is the 1-pound patty. I have no details yet. But that is definitely mayo on the bun. All the basics are there. There you have it, finally a burger that matches what people really want in a home-cooked meal. There are more pics in the file, but this is the one most blogworthy. More as I receive notice. Mitch is aware his burger, which has not yet won awards or been championed by any franchises, is a serious contender not to be brushed off.
ADDENDUM
McDonald’s is losing traction, so this week corporate announces an $8 billion “modernization” campaign. Fact is, they are losing business because people don’t like paing restaurant prices for fast food. The obvious fix is to lower prices, but there is on reason the won’t. Because they can’t. I think the recent DOGE and USAID shakeups have choked off millions of backroom deals and there’s your major source of the problem.
I had a series of bookmarks to check [McDonald’s] prices, but every one of them has gone dead. You can get prices for Indonesia and Brazil, but not Kentucky. Who will buy a small fries for $4.50 when a five-pound bag of potatoes costs less? I side with the camp that says if McDonalds, as it is today, was to launch as a new product with no existing customers, it would be bankrupt in a couple of months.
If New Mexico’s $5,000 per incident fine is enforced, the old Facebook app owes them billions—it turns out Facebook gave out 43 million customer files. Remember that Cambridge Analytic scandal? They still have not paid up. And speaking of fakes, my favorites are the ones I warned everybody about. One of the first was and it was not real data breach in any sense as Facebook gave them the data. Shock was how much data had been collected and how much of it was never Facebook’s business to begin with.
Another life-long habit killed by prices was my daily crossword and coffee. You have not heard of those in a while, not with both the coffee and the newspaper each costing $3. Why not but a crossword booklet? Simple, aficionados know there is a difference. Most booklets are “themed”, it’s hard to define.
Nursing schools under fire for leading students to believe full-time jobs awaited them upon graduation. I was aware of this stunt 30 years ago Before you go, McDonald’s Archy (sic) has been the center of a racist controversy. Really? Yes, it seems customers overwhelmingly want their robot to be white. They will form queues and wait rather than order from nearby other colors.
