Adulting 101: Behaving in Restaurants
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/19/2026 12:29:45 PM
Remember the days when families dining out at nice restaurants behaved like, well, families dining out at nice restaurants? Remember when restaurants had dress codes? And even if they didn’t, their patrons were mature enough to feel shame at being the least-dressed-up person in the establishment? The restaurants themselves remember, and a few are taking steps to reintroduce a bare minimum standard of what can be expected from customers. Ruth’s Chris Steak House had the audacity — the audacity, I tell you — to remind people of its long-existing dress code requiring that ball caps be removed upon entry to their dining rooms.

Cory Booker, Senator from New Jersey and child of two wealthy executives at IBM, knows struggle – he’s seen every episode of “Dear White People.” The struggle is real…especially in the first two seasons. Or so it has been explained to him, as he’s led a charmed life, which would be impossible if the United States of America were half the racist hell hole he pretends it is to advance his political career.
It amuses me to no end when white liberals act like they are the saviors of black people, and it’s even more amusing when black politicians who grew up just as much, if not more, “privileged”

Two Navy EA-18G Growler jets collided mid-air Sunday afternoon during the Gunfighter Skies air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, sending both crews ejecting and triggering a full lockdown of the military installation.
The shocking incident occurred in front of thousands of people who had packed the base for the first major air show there since 2018.
Video captured at the scene shows the two aircraft, part of the Navy’s VAQ-129 Growler Demo Team, coming together in close formation before slamming into each other.
Finally, after years of gaslighting, lawfare, and corrupt media cover-ups, a top Trump DOJ official has stepped up and dropped the hammer on the biggest political crime in American history.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures and delivered a NUCLEAR truth bomb that Democrats, the fake news media, and the deep state have been desperately trying to bury for six long years.
When Bartiromo pressed him on President Trump’s repeated claims that the 2020 election was rigged, Blanche didn’t mince words.
Blanche confirmed that the DOJ is now running multiple criminal investigations into the stolen 2020 election.
There is a desperate pattern emerging in the press regarding FBI Director Kash Patel. There is a growing tendency to see/hear a claim of outlandish behavior involving Patel and then rush to publication without maybe committing a modicum of research or striving to apply calm, rational thought to the matter. (Snip) For the latest, we have Patel allegedly desecrating the site of the Pearl Harbor memorial, the site of the sunken U.S.S. Arizona. Based on the reactions across social media, you are led to believe Patel was in a pool float with zinc oxide on his nose and slamming hurricanes while taking a dip at the historic site.
The U.S. Secret Service seized 14 illegal card skimmers and stopped about $14.5 million of fraud in the Houston area this week.
The agency worked with local law enforcement partners as part of a two-day outreach operation targeting illegal payment card skimming and Electronic Benefit Transfer fraud.
Law enforcement personnel visited 372 area businesses in Harris County during the operation conducted May 13-14. A total of 3,175 point-of-sale terminals, gas pumps and ATMs were inspected during the operation.
“Card skimming threatens the financial security of individuals and families across our community,"
U.S. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (KY-4) is flailing for his political life in Kentucky’s Fourth Congressional District, and the reason is simple: a growing majority of Republican voters no longer believe he is truly aligned with President Donald Trump and the Make America Great Again movement reshaping the GOP.
Into that fight steps Republican candidate Ed Gallrein — retired Navy SEAL officer, farmer, Ranger School graduate, veteran of SEAL Team Six, and now Trump-endorsed challenger to one of Congress’s most infamous turncoats.
Ed is no shrinking violet faux-libertarian, and he has staunchly opposed Massie’s efforts to subvert the efforts of President Donald Trump in prosecuting kinetic action against atom-bomb-crazed Iranian mullahs.

Left-wing critics have been regularly accusing the Trump family of profiting off Donald Trump’s presidency, but following his father’s historic trip to China, Eric Trump has decided to litigate to stop the accusations.
Trump said Friday he will be suing MSNOW, formerly MSNBC, and host Jen Psaki after she implied on her show that the son taking the trip with his father was a conflict of interest and a chance to exploit a computer chip deal.
According to the Hill:
Psaki said on her show “The Briefing” that ALT5 Sigma, a Las Vegas-based fintech company for which Eric Trump once served as a board observer,

Extradited from Colombia to Texas on Drug-Terrorism Charges 6 replies
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) worked with law enforcement authorities in Colombia to successfully extradite a suspected high-ranking member of the notorious Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang. Jose Enrique Martinez-Flores, a 24-year-old Venezuelan national, arrived in Houston, Texas, this week and will face drug distribution and terrorism charges.
According to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), Martinez-Flores made his initial court appearance on Friday on charges of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization and significant drug trafficking offenses. Martinez-Flores, known as “Chuqui,” is alleged to be a high-ranking leader of the hyperviolent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua Gang.

An unborn baby was killed last week in Dallas, Texas, during a gas station shooting.
Two illegal aliens were arrested, with at least one who was let into the US during Biden’s term in office.
The shooting took place after midnight on May 3rd.
Dallas police responded after reports of gunfire and found three victims. One of them was hit numerous times by gunshots.
The victims told the police that their car was shot at by the suspects in another vehicle after there was an incident at the local 7-Eleven.

It's official: Florida's Palm Beach International Airport is now President Donald J. Trump International Airport, and the aviation world is catching up. The rename has been in the works for months, driven by state legislation, federal action, and the straightforward reality that Palm Beach is Trump's home turf — Mar-a-Lago sits just a few miles from the runways. The name change takes effect July 1; the code flips from PBI to DJT on July 9. [Tweet]
A final rule in the Federal Register sealed it on May 14.
The Florida House passed the renaming bill 81–30, and Gov. Ron DeSantis signed it into law on March 30.
Admittedly, I haven’t been paying much attention to the Los Angeles mayoral race, but a LEGO-animated campaign ad caught my attention, and I just had to write about it.
The ad, published this week in support of Spencer Pratt's 2026 campaign for mayor of Los Angeles, is making the rounds online, and for good reason. It's a parody of "Everything Is Awesome" from The Lego Movie, set against a LEGO-animated cityscape that tells the dirty truth about the city under Karen Bass’s leadership.
It opens with a scene that cuts straight to the truth: a man assaulting a police officer on a city street.

A Democratic city council member who once welcomed the “change” from socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is now admitting he is “gravely concerned” about the business exodus affecting the major American city.
This comes as blue states like Washington and New York face a business exodus in favor of more market-friendly red states. Starbucks, a major player in Seattle’s business scene, recently announced a major expansion into Nashville while simultaneously cutting Seattle-based corporate jobs, a move that has intensified concerns about Seattle’s business climate and economic competitiveness.
Wilson, a self-proclaimed socialist, recently went viral for laughing off the exodus of billionaires and business leaders from her city,
Kamala Harris’ Dangerous Brainstorm
19 replies
For a sense of how bereft the Democrats are of credible leaders and sensible policy ideas all one has to do is listen to the remarks of former Vice President Kamala Harris on the Win with Black Women podcast. She proposed a “no bad ideas brainstorm” in which Democrats would discuss “What we need to do, and think about doing, around the Electoral College … expanding the Supreme Court … statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.” Harris, whom most polls of Democrat voters show as the front-runner for their party’s 2028 presidential nomination, said this as if offering fresh ideas.
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was lampooned on social media for using a bulletproof shield on wheels while delivering a race-baiting rant on “voting rights.”
The clown show unfolded Saturday at a rally in Montgomery, Alabama, where the Bronx Bolshevik tried to incite left-wing outrage following a Supreme Court decision repudiating race-based congressional redistricting as unconstitutional.
The most notable part of AOC’s staged stunt was her absurd use of a portable bulletproof glass panel divider. “Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez champions defunding the police, open borders, and abolishing ICE, yet she shields herself behind bulletproof glass,” one X commenter wrote.
“The hypocrisy is hard to ignore.”

If Americans won’t have the meekness to get sick enough ahead of the midterm elections to justify lockdowns and all mail-in ballots, it seems globalists might be willing to manufacture another “global health emergency.” Hopefully Donald Trump and We the People are too smart to fall for that destructive nonsense twice.
Naturally, many Americans will ask how an outbreak of Ebola in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) could possibly necessitate the World Health Organization (WHO) assuring the world that it is in imminent danger of Ebola contagion. But if there is one thing we learned from the COVID-19 lockdowns, it is that the WHO
Three suspects, including two teenagers, committed a staggering 12 shootings in the Austin area over the weekend. The Texas governor wants to see them behind bars for a long time, instead of released as “misguided minors” to shoot more people.
The 15-year-old stole his gun on Saturday from the exact same store where the 17-year-old accomplice had already stolen a firearm. There was a warrant out for the latter’s arrest over the theft. ABC7 KATV did not provide names for any of the suspects, but merely said that the third suspect fled the vehicle when officers stopped it to arrest the teenagers. Officers were pursuing the vehicle when

air after redistricting destroys his reelection bid 13 replies
Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen broke down in tears while reflecting on his decision to drop his reelection bid after redistricting all but ensured he had no path to victory.
Cohen (D-Tenn.), the sole Democrat in Tennessee’s congressional delegation, lamented the Republicans’ revamping of the Volunteer State’s 9th district, which is majority minority, and railed against redistricting as “bad for democracy.”
“I’m upset by this,” the now-outgoing Democrat bemoaned to NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo on Friday. “And I don’t get the criticism of stand and fight.” Why would you fight when they changed the district and there aren’t enough votes for you to win? That’s silly.”
Cohen, who has repped the Memphis-centered district since 2007,
At least eight people were injured Saturday in Modena, Italy when a crazed driver rammed his car into a crowd at full speed — and then knifed a hero who stopped him when he tried to flee following his cowardly act.
The man has been identified by authorities as Salim el Koudri, a 31-year-old Italian citizen of Moroccan origin.
The motive is not yet known, but a terrorist attack is not being ruled out, Italian newspaper La Pressa reported. El Koudri accelerated suddenly then zigzagged erratically on Via Emilia in the northern Italian city around 4:30 pm, mowing down at least four pedestrians.
Graham Platner has made his status as a fully disabled veteran a central part of his insurgent campaign against Maine senator Susan Collins (R.). At the same time, he has refused to disclose whether the Veterans Affairs (V.A.) benefits that make up the vast majority of his income come with work restrictions—a critical distinction that could have legal implications for his campaign.
Platner told News Center Maine in October that he holds a 100 percent disability rating due to "a couple herniated discs," a "wreck" of a shoulder, knees that "bother him," and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and that, as a result, he receives roughly $4,800 a month from the V.A.

cheating scheme 12 replies
Despite evidence to the contrary, liberal voting activists have spent years minimizing cheating concerns and portraying those who want to investigate such problems as “election deniers.” But the Justice Department, FBI and Homeland Security are now systematically exposing electoral fraud from noncitizen voting to ballot-box-stuffing schemes that are turning the table in epic fashion.
The latest strike came Monday when a longtime voting activist in California reached a deal with federal prosecutors to admit to illegally paying homeless people to sign election petitions and paying people to register to vote in a two-decade scheme that allegedly leveraged the Democrat-run state’s lax mail-in voting system,

President Trump Delays Further Military
Strikes Pending Outcome 12 replies
President Trump announced on Truth Social that he is delaying further strikes against Iran pending current negotiations with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. According to the announcement the Gulf States are negotiating a ‘zero nuclear’ position.
This is an interesting development as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) were previously the ones urging President Trump not to halt the military pressure campaign.
PRESIDENT TRUMP – “I have been asked by the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, and the President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan,

resources worth over $1.4M to write ‘manifesto’ book 11 replies
American Federation of Teachers boss Randi Weingarten tapped hundreds of thousands in union resources to help write her controversial book — working with a team that raked in more than $1.4 million from the labor group, a new analysis found.
Weingarten used the abundance of union-fueled resources for the liberal agenda-pushing “Why Fascists Fear Teachers: Public Education and the Future of Democracy” then pocketed a portion of the proceeds, the Freedom Foundation claimed in a new report.
Her team included an attorney who supposedly worked on the book pro bono but whose firm raked in $977,000 for various work for AFT, as well as a supposed “ghost writer who earned over
Recently, at the U.S.-China summit in Beijing, Premier Xi [Jinping] mentioned that he hoped that both parties, the United States and China, could avoid the Thucydides Trap.
What did that mean? It refers to a book and an article by the well-known political scientist Graham Allison.
In it, he presented a paradigm of international relations. Briefly, it was this: If you have an established power, like ancient Sparta, and it gets worried that there is an ascending power, a rising new neighborhood bully or something, the older power, the established power, will attack it, and there will be a war.
