Halloweenery, Belated
Five hilarious ghosts, any of whom you might want to dress up as next year. Bad news: dressing up as Rude Words Woman will require some attempt at late eighteenth century costume; good news; the late eighteenth century costume of the working class was easy.
Politics
Actually the face of the handout-addicted in my part of the world is a little older than that--it's not a youth problem; it's a problem of lifelong handouts having prevented people from ever building a work ethic or a sense of community. It's done horrible things to their characters.
Found at the Mirror. Google credits an Xer called Robert W. Hall.
But let's all put a brake on the spin machine.
This one also seems to have originated on X. The source has a screen name that uses fancy characters to write a word this web site does not allow.
Yes, that's what the Party of the Stubborn Jackass intended to do. But it won't happen. The White House did not specifically call out the role of Virginia's executive branch in this policy statement, but the time line it was still possible to follow on X did go like this:
1. Senator Schumer refused to end the Schumer Schutdown for the thirteenth or maybe fourteenth time.
2. The federal office warned food stamp recipients that "the well had run dry" on their emergency benefits.
3. In Virginia, New York, and New Jersey, as this web site pointed out, this meant that handout-dependent voters were likely to be going to the polls without breakfast. Having the Democratic Party to thank for their breakfast-less condition.
4. In New York and New Jersey Rs didn't seem concerned about winning THAT way, but in Virginia Candidate Earle-Sears and Governor Youngkin announced that our emergency fund would be used to ensure that handout-dependent voters would be able to vote their consciences on the kind and amount of breakfast to which they are accustomed. Because this is Virginia. We win honestly or not at all.
(Oh of course Virginians can cheat, and some of us do...but the rest of us do jollywell shame the ones who cheat.)
5. The Supreme Court notified the federal office that, legally, they had a mandate to use federal emergency funds to ensure breakfast for all voters, even in states that aren't having elections this year.
That would be the Supreme Court that, Democrats whined and wailed and kicked and screamed a few short years ago, was packed with Justices appointed during the first Trump administration. So handout-dependent voters still have Winsome Earle-Sears to thank for the original push to guarantee that they'd have breakfast on election day...but they have Friends of the Donald to thank for the actual funding.
