@HopValley Extremely obnoxious today. Server kicked us out in the middle of a high-ticket business meal, because of the terrible 90-minute limit. Not our first time entertaining customers at Hop Valley, we’ve given a lot of biz in the past. That might be over after today.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” ~ Mark Twain

This Republican Congress has proven incapable of fulfilling the Founders’ design that “Ambition must ... counteract ambition.” All who believe in this country’s values must vote for Democrats this fall. Policy differences don’t matter right now. History has its eyes on us.

@PaulMoakHonda First-class service every time I visit. You guys make brand loyalty easy.

@realDonaldTrump Wow @realDonaldTrump. "Phony stories of sadness and grief"? Do you and @CLewandowski_ have a bet to see who could be more insensitive? Don't be stupid.

We must maintain a Strong Southern Border. We cannot allow our Country to be overrun by illegal immigrants as the Democrats tell their phony stories of sadness and grief, hoping it will help them in the elections. Obama and others had the same pictures, and did nothing about it!

@cups_roasters Only in stores, apparently, because I was informed by Fondren @cups_roasters that #FEF doesn't apply for orders to-go. Give away espresso, sell snacks, build community. Why can't I take my drink to the office?

Happy Friday! Where are you enjoying your free espresso? #FEF

@realDonaldTrump @realDonaldTrump What happened to free speech? Now POTUS condemns people for what they DON'T say? Sad.

The Philadelphia Eagles Football Team was invited to the White House. Unfortunately, only a small number of players decided to come, and we canceled the event. Staying in the Locker Room for the playing of our National Anthem is as disrespectful to our country as kneeling. Sorry!
