Eat at Big Earl's!

May I encourage you to eat at Big Earl's in Pittsburg, Texas? They sound like a great bunch of folks. Here's a link to Earl's website:

If you Google Big Earl's, though, you'll come away with the impression Earl runs a gay bar. It's social media backlash from the perverts, because Big Earl's daughter told a couple of queers who had engaged in rubbing each other's thighs in the restaurant not to come back, because Big Earl's doesn't serve fags. This was after the "couple" had finished their meal and paid. She didn't call them fags until they tried to argue with her and cause a scene. Big Earl says he expects his customers to behave appropriately for a family restaurant, and he has had a sign on his front door ever since he opened:

Welcome to Big Earl's where
men act like men,
women act like ladies,
no saggy pants.
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
 
So why would two queers go into a place with a warning like that and flaunt their perversion? For the publicity, of course. What's the first thing the two queers do after they've left the restaurant? They call the TV station, of course. Would you like to hear the stupid question the reporter asked Earl? "What do you mean by 'men act like men and women act like ladies'?" The mere fact that someone doesn't know what that means shows you how deep in degradation this country is -- even in East Texas!

ما هو جيد لإوزة هو جيد لذكر الإوز.

Mariam Saleh lives in Doha, Qatar. She is leading a campaign to make foreign women residing in that country "cover up." She says a steady influx of foreigners is threatening to uproot their customs and traditions.
 
How many times have we seen muslim women in the U.S. refuse to uncover their faces according to our customs and traditions and even our laws? I can't cover my face or wear a head covering when I have my driver's license photo made or when I go through airport security, but they can.
 
The title of this blog is in Arabic just for Mariam. I'm not sure if the translation is correct or not, but we would say, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander."

Who is responsible for a 10-year-old child?

If you had a little girl who was 10 years old, and the family went to a park with which they were not familiar, would you let the child wander off on her own? Especially if the park were in a metropolitan area?

Ebony McGee and Antoin Lockett say it's all the city's fault their child drowned. They were on a family outing to Walter E. Luedeke Park when the child went off on her own and either fell or jumped into a retention pond. They have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the City of Balch Springs.

Lockett says the fateful day was the first time the family had visited the park. They allowed the child to go off down a trail with "Follow me" signs. Lockett says the pond was hidden from his view by a hill. "I didn't even know a pond was there," he said. Not knowing what was there is all the more reason for him to have made sure an adult was with her! The parents say the child was "very responsible" and would not have entered the pond if "No Swimming" signs had been posted. Maybe so, maybe not -- she was 10 years old.

I just can't imagine taking a child to an unfamiliar place and allowing her to strike out on her own out of my sight. Forget the pond -- don't these people know that child predators often find their victims at parks?

The family should receive nothing from the city, and, in fact, should be investigated themselves for the wrongful death of a child they were neglecting.

Just FYI

The government does not track the number of political refugees in this country who rely on social services. We have admitted about 67,000 Somalis in the past ten years, so I'm guessing that we've added about 67,000 Somalis to the welfare rolls in the past ten years. And that's just from one country.

I'm curious as to why the government can't track this number when it can track all our phone calls, our income, and who knows what else. However, I must admit, this is the same government that can't seem to keep up with Lois Lerner's emails.

Uhhhhh - could it be because they're criminals?

Texas officials are blaming the heat and the lack of programs for rampant crime in the Texas prison system. They're even blaming it on keeping violent convicts in prison longer.

My first thought was that crime is rampant in the prison system because . . . well, they're criminals, aren't they? If they were nice folks, they wouldn't be in prison. Duh!

What is the national problem that should be priority 1?

If someone asked you what the priority of the Obama administration should be, what would you say? The economy? Terrorism? The IRS scandal? The VA scandal? The truth about Benghazi? Securing our borders? Releasing enemy prisoners? Welfare fraud?

According to VP Joe Biden, it's none of those. He said that across U.S. government agencies, officials have been instructed to make the promotion of gay rights abroad a priority.

Doesn't that bring you great confidence in the direction our nation is going?

We got that one out of the way!

Obama has captured Ahmed Abu Khattala, and I guess he thinks that puts that little issue to rest. At least according to Tom Brewer of Mesquite it does.

Tom has a letter to the editor in which he praises Obama for hunting down and capturing "the" culprit responsible for the attack. I don't know why that's so great -- several of the news organizations tracked him down months ago and did interviews with him.

Tom exults that "the" terrorist is in our custody and is heading to the U.S. for trial. He should be headed to Gitmo as an enemy combatant.

My problem is with Tom's continued use of the definite article. From what I saw, there were more terrorists than just Ahmed there that night. What are we doing to catch them?
