I have no interest in what vegans eat. They have a great interest in what I eat. I would go to a new restaurant based on either personal recommendations or using this thing called the internet and looking up their menu to see what menu items I might like. If I was looking for Italian food, I wouldn't go to a Mexican restaurant. If I wanted a good steak, I wouldn't go to a vegan restaurant. If I want to go out for breakfast, they better serve Bloody Marys. I wouldn't set foot in a Cracker Barrel for that reason. Wouldn't think about heading to a Cracker Barrel and then screaming at the waitress, "Where is my phucking Bloody Mary?" But vegans don't work like that.
COLOR ME UNSURPRISED: Restaurant scraps plant-based dishes after becoming fed up with “holier than thou” vegans.
An award-winning cafe has at hit out at “holier-than-thou” vegan customers saying they shouldn’t have to adapt their menu to “suit” customers who don’t eat animal products.
The Kitchen at London House on the Isle of Wight went online to defend itself against “nasty” and “bullying” vegans who were outraged at their decision to refuse to cater to their diets.
Addressing its critics, it said: “If you want vegan food, go to a vegan restaurant.”
The popular high street restaurant in Ventnor said that though it used to serve some vegan food, they decided to stop because of a “militant minority” that spoilt it for the majority.
Me, I go to vegan restaurants and demand beef to support my carnivore diet, then call them bigots if they refuse.
The NY Times says "motive unclear" as usual. Seems pretty clear the radical was a member of the religion of peace, definitely an Amish "man". You would think a real newspaper would hire Andy Ngo.
Exactly, on the last two biggest issues, Russian Collusion and the chicom crud, who has a better track record, the dazzler and the NY Times or the Gateway Pundit and the Tug conservatives/liberals? If I were so wrong all the time, I'd engage in some self-examination and some introspection. Not leftards, they are incapable of rational thought and totally unconcerned with their lack of integrity.
And despite constantly being wrong and swallowing misinformation, they never question their news sources.
The joke here is that the Joey administration has made it known that the Twitter account they despise the most is RNC Research. It really hits the target on a regular basis.
Love the "Do Not Murder" sign. That and some tough tweets should clean up Portland. Also, people are "agonizing" over how to respond. Geezus. It's only "agonizing" if you have a hard time putting violent felons in jail. Giuliani showed you how to do it and saved thousands of black lives, but like Trump, Rudy is the devil. Lots of political ads on local TV and lots of coverage of the violence in Portland. Not one is saying lock up the violent and repeat offenders.

Do not murder? Wow, I didn't know that was wrong. I'm so glad there's a yard sign to inform everyone.
K-12 IMPLOSION UPDATE: Inside the Massive Effort to Change the Way Kids Are Taught to Read.
As a teacher in Oakland, Calif., Kareem Weaver helped struggling fourth- and fifth-grade kids learn to read by using a very structured, phonics-based reading curriculum called Open Court. It worked for the students, but not so much for the teachers. “For seven years in a row, Oakland was the fastest-gaining urban district in California for reading,” recalls Weaver. “And we hated it.”
The teachers felt like curriculum robots—and pushed back. “This seems dehumanizing, this is colonizing, this is the man telling us what to do,” says Weaver, describing their response to the approach. “So we fought tooth and nail as a teacher group to throw that out.” It was replaced in 2015 by a curriculum that emphasized rich literary experiences. “Those who wanted to fight for social justice, they figured that this new progressive way of teaching reading was the way,” he says.
Now Weaver is heading up a campaign to get his old school district to reinstate many of the methods that teachers resisted so strongly: specifically, systematic and consistent instruction in phonemic awareness and phonics. “In Oakland, when you have 19% of Black kids reading—that can’t be maintained in the society,” says Weaver, who received an early and vivid lesson in the value of literacy in 1984 after his cousin got out of prison and told him the other inmates stopped harassing him when they realized he could read their mail to them. “It has been an unmitigated disaster.” In January 2021, the local branch of the NAACP filed an administrative petition with the Oakland unified school district (OUSD) to ask it to include “explicit instruction for phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension” in its curriculum.
Exit quote: “We abandoned what worked because we didn’t like how it felt to us as adults, when actually, the social-justice thing to do is to teach them explicitly how to read.”

It’s an idea so crazy, it just might work.
