Whataburger is not what it used to be, since they sold out to a Chicago company. As a native Texan, it pains me to say that, but it’s true.

I don't known who needs to hear this, but there is and has never been any "war of the Brothers" between William and Harry.
"War" takes at least two sides, actively fighting and battling each other. The Wales have NEVER engaged in any type of back and forth with H&M. NEVER🔥
They have never responded, defended themselves nor addressed any of the slanderous allegations H&M have attacked them with.
War needs at least two fractions fighting each other. When one side fights and screams on its own, it is called suffering from mental illness, not being at war with anyone🤷🏽♀️
For the past 6 years, W&C have simply kept calm and carried on, and whether H&M are living in the US or in the UK, nothing has changed
Some People and the press keep acting as if the Wales need to prove anything to H&M or counter anything to their PR stunts but truly, WHICH part of the Wales' lives and their future is threatened by H&M moving to the UK?🤔
• Did W&C stop being "the Prince and Princess of Wales" and "the Future King and Queen" because H&M are back? No, there is no competition for the throne.
• Did William stop being the Heir set to inherit it all? Does he now have to share or divide the £23 million he receives yearly from his Duchy, with H&M? No he is still who he is and his bank account is still what it is.
•Did the Wales lose their governemnt security? Did they lose any of their homes or their privileges? No they still have everything they had.
•Which of their projects stopped being successful since H&M moved to the UK? What sponsor did they lose? None, they actually gained🔥
William actually signed a new partnership with NVIDIA this month for Earthshot and met with the CEO, Jensen Huang at Windsor.
Meanwhile on his Homeward, following the pilot's success with IKEA, major employers like Specsavers, B&Q, and Howdens have now committed to joining the network☺️
William further announced a new pilot project to support suicide prevention in sports this month with "On your side", and Norwich FC announced that they will partner with William's new initiative for their team.
ALL These new partnerships just happened between mid September and the beginning of october 2026🔥
What did William lose?
• Are the Wales unable to move around the UK freely since H&M moved back? Absolutely not, within this month alone, they were in London, with Catherine calmly taking the tube with Charlotte, William playing Backyard cricket on the Mall in front of BP;
They were in Wales, in Scotland and in Ireland continuing to highlight their community work and projects❤️
So truly, my dears, WHAT has H&M PR stunt to Nottingham on thursday or their living in the UK changed for W&C?
NOT a single thing and that is exactly what irks the press and haters so much🔥
To William and Catherine, H&M's presence equal their absence: SUM ZERO. They add nor remove from W&C and this is the confidence with which the Wales have embraced their married lives and their Royal duties. They are not in competition with anyone. They are secured in themselves and in their position.
No matter the PR stunts from the private citizens or the noise the press makes with their useless articles, There is NO COMPETITION for the throne in the Monarchy.
There is no shared Power nor shared privileges in the Monarchy.
There is no equality in the monarchy, there is a Hierarchy🔥
The Firstborn is the winner who takes all: all the money, all the inheritance, all the power, all the security, the main privileges and make all the decisions for everyone else in the family.
The rest of Royals and their spouse can support, play nice and get a piece of the cake with a great posh life of privileges for the rest of their lives;
OR they can refuse to support like H&M did, leave and that is the end of them. They are out on their own.
This is the blunt picture in the Monarchy👌🏽
Well and so, William and Catherine are calmly going about their lives because if you were in their shoes, and had your future secured and guaranteed too at all levels, you would be calm too, what would they gain in engaging in a war with H&M? Nothing🤷🏽♀️
It is H&M, the press, the antimonarchists, BP courtiers and the haters around the world who are all worried about William and Catherine and their distinctive reign to come.
Neither William nor Catherine are interested in anything H&M have.
It is H&M who have been moaning publicly about not having the same privileges the Wales have, it is them who have been comparing themselves with the Wales, comparing their children with Wales children, and crying about the security that the Wales have and they do not have. This is not a "war of brothers", this is the envious side attacking the ones who have what they want ☕️

Fuck. Yes.
Read it. Read all of it.
Stop being a bitch.
Actual adults vote for Republicans. That statement may anger you, but I’ll say it again; those with a level of discernment beyond that of a child vote for Republicans.
I don’t do a massive amount of politics on here, or truthfully, in real life. I have no love for politicians, they are merely a necessary evil. Why the statement?
Actual adults understand a few things…
The current Democratic Party refuses to accept the science of biology, stymy the flow of illegal aliens, identity voters through ID, recognize your Right to firearms (as outlined in the 2nd Amendment), and reject the ideas of Karl Marx as incongruent with the Constitution. They play games on the State level to block those who seek to reveal corruption and fraud. They literally named a law after Nick Shirley to prevent others like him from revealing massive scams in their State like he did in Minnesota. These are not the actions of rational adults, but rather emotional, power-hungry children who seek to upend our Nation as long as they personally benefit.
I am under no delusion that Republicans will deliver everything I want. They have been tepid at best the past two years. I’m also no Trump sycophantic. Many of his positions would have been considered middle-ground in the 1990’s Democratic Party. He and the Party he leads have managed to deliver a few victories in areas that matter. The southern border is the most secure that it’s been in my lifetime. The NFA is currently starving for oxygen. Some common sense has been applied to preventing men from parading as women to crush their athletic dreams and act as government endorsed voyeurs in bathrooms.
Trump is bombastic and publicly treats the Office of the Presidency as a celebrity position. Behind the scenes, it’s clearly different. I highly approve of some of the moves he’s made and shake my head in frustration at others.
Trump is not on the ballot this election. Who is? Local representatives and managers, many House Representatives and some Senators; for some of you Mayor or County Sheriff. These are the people whose decisions will truly impact your life regardless of what the man who is not up for reelection does.
Rational adults vote for the representation that doesn’t promise to steal what you have, give it to noncitizens, take away your right to self-defense, upend our founding documents, and allow the replacement of equal justice with Sharia law. The current Democratic Party endorses ideas that indoctrinate your children into ideas that prevent you from ever having grandchildren. They support that which will literally end your family line; they gain power and you lose your legacy. At this point in time, that rational option is by and large the Republican Party.
Will Republicans likely fail to live up to all of their campaign promises? Beyond a doubt. A mature adult knows that and yet understands the opposite choice is guaranteed destruction. Naïve children make choices on emotions, “the feels”, promises of free stuff and believing that politicians won’t disappoint them. Rational adults stoically weigh the options based on projected course and values.
The Iran war will not immediately end no matter which way you vote. Gas prices also don’t turn on a dime. No matter who you choose, inflation will not immediately disappear and Congress will spend money. I have my gripes, as do you. They are valid. National suicide is not the answer.
Until the Democrats produce another JFK like option, eschew their current values and platform, you must do your job as a rational adult and block them at the voting booth and in the public square. Anything less is puerile.
Great post!!
Ask yourself a simple question. Why is almost every celebrity on the same side?
Actors, singers, late-night hosts, award-show presenters. Thousands of people with different backgrounds, different lives, different temperaments. And somehow, on every major issue, they land on the exact same opinion, at the exact same moment, with the exact same hashtags. Free minds don't behave like that. An ecosystem does.
Now ask a second question. Elon Musk is landing rockets on their own tails. He's bringing internet to villages that never had a phone line. He's building cars that drive themselves and implants that let paralyzed people move a cursor with their thoughts. Artists are supposed to be the ones who dream about the future. Here is a man actually building it. How many of them stand next to him? A handful. Why?
Because Hollywood is not a free market of talent. It's a royal court.
A young actor doesn't make it because he's good. Hundreds are good. He makes it because someone lets him in: an agent, a casting director, a producer, a studio, an awards committee. Every step is a gate, and every gate has a keeper. When your whole career depends on a few rooms, you learn very quickly what can be said in those rooms and what can't.
This is how it works. First you stay silent. Then you nod. Then you repeat. Then you believe. Compromise never arrives all at once. It arrives one dinner, one role, one red carpet at a time. And once you've given up enough, you need the system to stay in place, because the system is the only thing that makes the sacrifice worth it.
Want to see the whole mechanism in a single story? For decades, one of the most powerful producers in Hollywood was the subject of accusations from dozens of women, and much of the industry treated it as an open secret. A host even joked about it at an Oscar nominations announcement, and the room laughed. Speaking up seriously meant losing everything. When the truth finally broke, the same industry dressed in black and applauded its own courage. Silence while it pays. Virtue once it's safe. That's the system.
And that's the real lie. Not that these people are monsters. Most aren't. The lie is calling it courage. Real courage costs you something. Saying what every room in town already applauds costs nothing. Saying the opposite is what costs. That's why so few artists stand with Elon. Not because they've studied his ideas and rejected them, but because standing there is a career risk they can't afford.
Look at what happened to him when he left the consensus. Advertisers fled. Friends disappeared. Invitations stopped. He could afford it. Almost nobody else can. That tells you exactly how free that world really is.
So wake up. Stop taking your political cues from people whose paycheck depends on agreeing. A celebrity endorsement is not an argument. It's a loyalty signal. Your vote, your convictions, your children's future: don't outsource them to people who are paid to recite lines someone else wrote.
The people who build the future rarely get applause from the people who perform it.
Think for yourself. It's the most American thing you can do.
I am so sick of this shit, spent my life living on the up & up and thieves are everywhere. I want to see jail sentences!
Trump DOJ announces nearly $500 MILLION in alleged tax fraud uncovered in a massive nationwide crackdown.
Federal prosecutors are announcing criminal charges targeting schemes designed to defraud the IRS and steal taxpayer money.
One major case involves:
-$74 MILLION alleged IRS tax fraud scheme
-3 Mexican citizens indicted on multiple criminal charges
-Defendants allegedly used Mexican identification documents to obtain taxpayer filing numbers
-Fraudulent tax returns allegedly submitted to collect IRS refund checks
And this is just ONE of multiple cases announced in the DOJ’s nationwide tax fraud operation.
I was going to watch this movie because of Keanu but when I saw Seth Rogan it was easy to say , No, thanks!”
Seth Rogen says Elon Musk shouldn't be charging people at the Tesla Diner in LA because he's rich.
"I’m sick of these billionaires charging us for burgers."
Just so you know, Google estimates Rogen to be worth around $80 million. I reckon it's more.
I grew up in Dallas, worked at the old Texas Stadium during high school, during the Roger Staubach, Golden Richards, Danny White, Drew Pearson, Randy White era and stopped being a fan after the way they treated the immortal Tom Landry. I’m glad I had the 70’s Cowboys to support.
Tengo 59 años y estoy cansado. Muy cansado. Este es el último mensaje que escribiré acerca de @dallascowboys hasta que esta generación desaparezca y Jerry Jones pase a mejor vida. O ganen un Super Bowl.
Por años, he publicado aquí críticas al equipo y al responsable de todos los males de los Cowboys: Jerry Jones. Y con justificada razón: me hice fanático de los Vaqueros porque vi jugar a Roger Staubach, a un menospreciado Danny White, a Tony Hill, Drew Pearson, Tony Dorsett, Randy White, 'Too Tall' Jones y un larguísimo etcétera, un equipo con personalidad liderado por el inmortal Tom Landry.
Me hice fan de ellos porque además representaban algo más grande que el football, un equipo con personalidad y buenos principios.
Después, viví las épocas flacas hasta que llegaron Jimmy Johnson, su gran staff de coaches y jugadores de mi generación como Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin y una salvaje defensa que bien podría haberse llamado la Doomsday III. Los vi ganar 4 de sus 5 Super Bowls. Sí, incluso aplaudo y mucho lo que hizo Barry Switzer para darnos el quinto anillo.
Para mí, no eran solo un equipo de football, sino un ejemplo de vida en muchos otros sentidos.
Pero ya me cansé. He visto pasar a los Chan Gailey, Dave Campo, Jason Garrett y ver cómo se desperdiciaron generaciones con Bill Parcells, Wade Phillips y Mike McCarthy.
El actual head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, le vendió humo a Jerry Jones. Está en la NFL por ser hijo de una leyenda como Marty Schottenheimer, pero nada más. Talento no tiene. No para un equipo de NFL.
Y remataron contratando a un Coordinador Defensivo que viene del peor enemigo: Eagles. Christian Parker o es un caballo de Troya o simplemente es como Schottenheimer: inepto para la NFL.
La demostración de hoy de #DallasCowboys ante Tampa Bay fue el último clavo en el ataúd de un equipo que lleva 30 años muerto, y nadie le ha avisado.
Gracias, Cowboys. Son parte de mi vida desde hace casi medio siglo.
Pero no tiene sentido seguir escribiendo de ustedes ni preocupándome por ustedes mientras sigan siendo dirigidos desde arriba por un extraordinario empresario, pero un terrible General Manager que, cual Uroboro, se ha comido a sí mismo.
Los Dallas Cowboys han muerto. Llevan años así. Sólo necesitan que alguien les avise.
Man Ottumwa sure has changed since Radar lived there!
HOLY SH*T
@City_of_Ottumwa in Iowa opened up their most recent city council meeting with a prayer to SATAN.
"Let us pray. Dear dark father... HAIL SATAN"
WTF is wrong with these people???
My husband would have loved this post, even after 45 years together he always had to remind me NO soap on his cast iron. I remember, dear. I remember!
After dinner at an American friend's house, I sought to fulfill my duty as a guest.
A black iron skillet lay by the sink, crusted with the dark grease of ribeyes.
I reached for the sponge. I poured a generous stream of green dish soap.
Bubbles of purification bloomed.
From across the living room came a sound like a dying bison.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO—!!!"
My host tackled me into the drywall.
The sponge flew. Soapy foam landed harmlessly upon the linoleum.
He scrambled to the sink, panting, shielding the iron pan with his trembling forearms as if shielding an infant from artillery fire.
"What were you doing?!" he gasped, eyes wild with terror.
"I was performing ablutions! Removing the foul oil with chemical foam!"
"That's not foul oil, you lunatic! That's my great-grandfather's 1938 Lodge skillet! You almost committed an execution!"
He turned the faucet. Only warm water. He grabbed a handful of coarse kosher salt and a chainmail scrubber, rubbing the black metal with the desperate tenderness of an archaeologist dusting a mummy.
"No soap! Never soap! Soap strips the seasoning!"
"Seasoning?! You cook with the ghosts of past beasts?!"
"It's polymerized fat! Eighty-six years of bacon, butter, and triumph baked into a non-stick shield! If Dawn touches this iron, four generations of my bloodline die in vain!"
I stared at the black relic. Not a cooking vessel. An altar of ancestor worship forged from unwashed pig grease.
"A cursed heirloom passed down through the dynasty..." I whispered in awe.
He dried it with a towel. He placed it upon the burner, set the blue flame on high, and rubbed a single drop of oil across the surface until it smoked.
He bowed his head before the rising vapors.
"Forgive him, Grandfather. He knew not what he did."
He wiped his sweaty brow and turned to me, dead serious.
"I'll take a bullet for you, brother. But if you ever bring bubbles near this stove again, I will bury you under the patio."
I bowed deeply to the warrior and his greasy idol.
"Understood. The oil gods shall remain unpurified."
