IN-N-OUTTA HERE? Burger chain gets offer to leave longtime home after Democrats' boycott threat.

I'd rather they moved to Georgia. As many have noted, their burgers and fries are to die for....
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE AN (ELECTORAL) DEATH WISH:
NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo calls ICE agents who take criminal aliens off the street a bunch of thugs.

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) threatens ICE agents involved in "illegal deportations".
I have hope that the mid-term elections will grant their wish....
AMMO GRRRLL turns down Arizona Senate appointment. In other news, she posts Rules for Journalists.
SLATE: Two years into his presidency and Donald Trump still doesn’t use computers.


Oh? "Perhaps that thing on the left side of his desk is actually the Weather Control/Time Warp device he bought from Dick Cheney."
AT MCCAIN'S FUNERAL SERVICE, I watched both the Bush and Obama eulogies. Bush spent 8 minutes talking about McCain; Obama spent 19 minutes talking about me and McCain.

Go figure.
POWERLINE'S WEEK IN PICTURES, Burning Man Person edition has posted. Here's my favorite:


The others are great as well. Go see them.
THEY'VE GONE FLAMING BONKERS: How to prepare for ex-President Trump. Myself? I'm far more concerned about current ex-President Obama.
A FAIR TRADE.
BLACK BEAR spotted in Tennesse’s Davidson County for first time in more than 100 years. The one we spotted in our yard last week was headed northwest - I guess he got home safely....
GOING FOR FULL CRAZY: PETA wants Maine officials to build gravestone in memory of lobsters who died in truck crash.


These are most assuredly Heinlein's Crazy Years.
IDENTITY POLITICS AND WHITE PRIVILEGE: Unpacking Peggy McIntosh’s knapsack.

I guess when you live a privileged life you can afford to be really, really stupid.
VENEZUELA SEIZES SMURFIT KAPPA PLANT. So the Irish company that owns it said "Okedoke. It's yours. Good luck keeping it going."

Venezuela vs. John Galt. Galt wins.
I LOVE THE SOUND of mullahs whining.
FIRST THEY BOYCOTTED CHICK-FIL-A (and it prospered); now they're trying to boycott In-N-Out burgers. For serving plastic straws (and contributing to the Republican party).
I really do hope liberals extend this boycott mentality to other companies. Pharmaceutical companies tend to support Republicans very heavily. Maybe liberals will boycott taking life-saving prescription meds. The oil and natural gas companies also tilt heavily Republican. Liberals should stop buying gasoline, heating oil, and natural gas. Especially in winter. That’ll show ’em.
Read the whole post. Steven Hayward has a special gift for SJW mockery.

UPDATE: Backfire.
TRUMP TO RON DESANTIS CRITICS: “Monkey Off!”
“Socialism has monkeyed up every monkeying country where it’s been tried. First you get a bunch of elitist power-hungry mother-monkeyers, who take advantage of the poor dumb monkeys. Socialist government then monkeys the productive citizens out of their wealth, and pisses away all of the monkeying money.”

“As for Ron DeSantis, there is not a racist monkeying bone in his whole monkeying body.”

“So, to Ron’s critics, and to mine, I say: “Monkey off!”

— President Donald J. Trump

Yes, it's satire; it's ScrappleFace. But it shouldn't be.
