@BreitbartNews @greggutfeld Wow! Two insufferable snobs in the same bit. I think that would’ve ripped my sanity continuum. They both can’t disappear fast enough.

In his final show, Stephen Colbert admits he was, in fact, getting trounced in the ratings by @greggutfeld.
Neil DeGrasse Tyson: Two contradictory realities cannot coexist without rupturing the space-time continuum.
Colbert: Like what?
NDT: For instance, if the show is #1 on late night and it also gets canceled.
Colbert: They canceled 'Gutfeld'?!

This 👇🏻 | Hillbilly speaks the truth. There is NO sugar in cornbread or its spawn, the hush puppy.
Hillbilly@JamesHu27192912
There are arguments in the Appalachian mountains that have been going on longer than anyone can remember and the sugar in cornbread argument is one of them. It is not really an argument. It is a declaration. You do not put sugar in cornbread. Full stop. End of discussion. Sit down. The mountain cornbread tradition is older than the United States itself and it was built on simplicity and cast iron and the particular alchemy that happens when bacon grease hits a screaming hot skillet and you pour cold batter in right behind it. That sizzle. That crust that forms on the bottom and the sides before the top even sets. That is not a cooking technique. That is a religion. Appalachian cornbread was made from water ground cornmeal, the kind that still had the germ in it and went stale fast and tasted like actual corn rather than the bland yellow dust that passes for cornmeal in most grocery stores today. Mixed with buttermilk and a egg if you had one and bacon grease both in the batter and in the skillet and nothing else. No flour to lighten it. No sugar to sweeten it. No apologies for what it was. It came out of the oven dense and golden and crackling at the edges and it went straight to the table where it was eaten with soup beans or greens or pot likker or just crumbled into a glass of cold buttermilk the way the old timers liked it best. Every Appalachian grandmother had her skillet and her recipe and the recipe was mostly in her hands because she had made it so many times the measurements lived in her palms not on any page. Did your family put sugar in cornbread or were they real mountain people about it? #LostMountain #AppalachianFood #MountainCornbread #AppalachianCooking #NoSugarInCornbread

We’ve now hit the “we need to abolish a constitutional branch of government because we didn’t like their decision” stage of saving democracy

@HVNYrefugee For heaven’s sake just stop putting sugar in the batter! Hush puppies should not be sweet.

The loss of taste for hush puppies is an existential crisis.

My daughter was assigned Zachary Taylor for her U.S. President report. She was bummed because “who knows anything about Zachary Taylor?!” I tried to explain that this is a good thing because now she’s one of the few who does. She’s unpersuaded. Nevertheless, here are 3 facts she taught me about Zachary Taylor:

@xAviation @tinainvirginia Used to see the Ospreys often as we were hunting the lower end of Clinch Mountain in Russell County near the Scott County border. Always wondered why they were flying that route.

What’s the one Steve Winwood song you will never skip?
Happy 78th Birthday to Steve Winwood!
From Spencer Davis Group to Traffic, Blind Faith, and his solo career, he gave us decades of incredible music.🥰
Still one of my favorite voices.

I’m gonna make a 70s playlist!

House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries proposes a nationwide radical takeover of the courts if Democrats gain power:
"We're going to have to explore judicial 'reform' state by state and at the federal level...everything should be on the table as far as I'm concerned."

Jay Jones in February:
‘The election should proceed while litigation continues’
Jay Jones yesterday:
‘Deciding litigation after the election is a threat to democracy’
This is like ordering takeout and calling the cops when the food arrives.

(2/2) This decision silences the voices of the millions of Virginians who cast their ballots in every corner of the Commonwealth, and it fuels the growing fears across our nation about the state of our democracy. Read my full statement here: oag.state.va.us/media-center/n…

Re all the dishonest liberal pundits spouting off numbers about the Virginia vote total on redistricting:
1.605 million -- YES
1.499 million -- NO
2.771 million -- YES
1.447 million -- NO
The first vote was on the 10-1 map.
The second vote was on the Amendment to the Virginia Constitution in 2020 banning partisan gerrymandering in the drawing of congressional maps.
Where was democracy most ignored?

The best compliment I ever received:
My uncle Roland made a pile of money in insurance. What’s more impressive is that he built his business while fishing the bays of Galveston five days a week.
When asked if he’d been fishing lately, he’d wink and say:
“Not since this morning.”
Roland was also super-close with his wife (of 50 years) and daughter.
He also collected Corvettes. And played guitar.
As a teenager, he seemed larger than life to me. I remember thinking ‘THAT’S the kind of life I want!’.
I wasn’t close with Uncle Roland, but a few years ago—not long before he passed away—he came up to me at a family reunion and said:
“I’ve seen your pictures… you figured out the secret.”
That was the extent of the conversation but I knew exactly what Uncle Roland meant. He was referring to my lifestyle—living in the mountains, my passion for climbing, family, and the fact that I also had a successful career.
It’s the best compliment I ever received.
Now, when asked if I’ve been climbing lately, I say:
“Not since this morning.” 😉
Find your Uncle Roland — someone whose *whole life* (not just career) is worth emulating.

@PatriciaHeaton Our histories are so much more compelling that fiction. IMHO

The older I get, the more I only want to read history books. Is this true for anyone else?
