@JamesHu27192912 Only draw back to saving poke’s … they attract roaches.. i use to work in a piggly wiggly and ALL grocery stores have roaches and you bring the roach eggs home and in a month or so you’ve got an infestation…

In Appalachia a grocery bag was called a poke. Not a bag. Not a sack. A poke. The term is documented in Southern and Appalachian dialects from the nineteenth century onward. Brown paper pokes from the grocery store were treasured. A poke was not disposable. It was a resource. After you brought your groceries home you did not throw away the poke. You saved it. You reused it. A poke could hold garden vegetables. A poke could carry kindling wood. A poke could store quilting scraps. A poke could be used for a hundred different things around the house and farm. The brown paper pokes from Piggly Wiggly were the most prized. They were sturdy. They had a certain quality. Families would save them carefully. A stack of pokes in the pantry was a form of wealth. When plastic pokes came along they never quite replaced the brown paper ones in Appalachian hearts. There was something about a real poke, the way it felt in your hands. The way it held together. The way you could fold it and save it. Plastic pokes were convenient but they lacked the substance of a paper poke. An Appalachian child learned early that pokes were valuable. That you saved them. That you found uses for them. That waste was something you simply did not do. A poke represented the Appalachian understanding that everything had value. Everything could be used. Nothing was thrown away if it still had life in it. The word poke itself comes from old English references to bags and containers. In Appalachia the word survived when it disappeared elsewhere. It is one of those words that connects modern Appalachians to centuries of language and history. When an old timer said "get me a poke" they were speaking a language that stretched back through generations. Do you remember pokes? Do you still save them? 🏔️ #AppalachianDialect #Poke #GroceryBags #AppalachianHeritage #TheLostMountain

A Seattle judge said we couldn't show the faces of the 33 Antifa & anti-Israel radicals who caused over $1 million in damage to the brand new engineering building at UW in May. So here are their faces & names: Tayler Hart Max Rulff Zachary Wallaced-Wells Jade Wu, Jessica Schutz Luisa Ortega Subdiaz Ginger Newberry Kimaya Mahajan Gina Liu Lea Keating Akira Junyaprusert Anna Hattle Julia Fraczek Cade Jackson Jonas Piper Ty Park Lucy Zern Tasbeet Iman Ricardo Colon-Galvez Roberta Collison Ella Tunduwani Zainab Chattha Riley Centerwall Catherine Brown Brett Anton Claire Berger Yasmin Ahmed Yafate Yared Geneveve Konijisky Finn Brown Bailey Keen Lucas Nichols-Mcauslan and Sam Sueoka. It was all a matter of public record long before the judge made the ruling. KOMO News made this handy collage. Please share

96% of Massies funding came from out of state. Only 4% were from KY. This was not the traditional local grassroots campaign Massie and his surrogates want us to believe it was. Just sayin.

The Los Angeles Mayor race is going to be RIGGED 🚨 Los Angeles resident received all these mail in ballots to his home and NONE of them are addressed to him We have to ban mail in ballots and switch to in person voting with an ID This is how California Democrats rig elections Every single election people post tons of videos showing they get tons of mail in ballots to their home that don’t belong to them Multiply this state wide plus the fact Gavin Newsom made checking ID when voting illegal This must be stopped

WHY THE HELL AM I PAYING TAXES TO A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT: >CANNOT DEFUND THE TALBAN >CANNOT SECURE OUR ELECTIONS >CANNOT BALANCE A BUDGET >CANNOT READ THE BILLS THEY VOTE ON >CANNOT PASS TERM LIMITS >CANNOT PASS DOGE CUTS WHY ARE WE PAYING TAXES?!!!!!!

Oversight Project has the goods.

Obama was a one-man Trojan Horse for radical Islam. He flooded America with Muslims by the millions in the dark of night and funded Iran’s efforts to build nuclear weapons. Let’s face the fact that every conspiracy theory about this traitor was true.

Part 2 is up. The democracy ecosystem claims $33 billion a year and employs hundreds of thousands of people. There is no puppet master. They converge through constant conventions.... meeting, aligning on priorities, and deploying. Now imagine MAGA with $33 billion and 200,000 full-time staff whose entire job is to meet, agree, knock on doors, train judiciary, instill journalists, recruit candidates, and get out the vote.

Chevron is letting customers know in California that it’s not Donald Trump causing the insane gas prices in the state, it’s California Democrats Chevron just added these new signs to their pumps educating customers, “Sacramento policies did this. Now you pay more” “California politicians are choosing foreign oil and fuels over local jobs and lower costs” This is what we need. Huge companies willing to educate the public and tell the truth It’s Gavin Newsom and Democrat policies causing $6.30+ average cost per gallon in California

The NC House just passed SB 1080, which would amend the North Carolina Constitution to cap the state income tax rate at 3.5%. 46 of my Democratic colleagues voted against lower taxes. At least they’re being honest about where they stand: they want you paying more. #ncpol

@HarmeetKDhillon Ha ! Kentucky sent Massie Packing ! @GizmoMemes

@TaraBull Someone keeps telling him he’s worth far more than he’s really worth .

Thomas Massie Emerges as a 2028 Presidential Contender Despite Losing Congressional Seat

Override #9 Is Done. The NC House has just overridden HB 87 the Educational Choice for Children Act. This bill expands school choice by helping families access scholarships for private school tuition, tutoring, and homeschooling. #ncpol

@catturd2 @thewriterme Hope they do

Good idea.

🚨 This afternoon, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney who supported Jack Smith’s politicized investigation of President Trump has been charged with stealing the confidential investigation documents. Carmen Lineberger allegedly emailed the confidential material to her own personal email, disguising them as dessert recipes to conceal them from record searches. Lineberger is charged with four felony counts in the indictment. This FBI will not hesitate to bring to account those who violated the trust of the American public in an investigation that should’ve never been brought to begin with.

🇺🇸🇺🇸 This will be awesome!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Awesome.

DO NOT mistake my sincere kindness and willingness to do solid for POTUS, while ALWAYS being an open and honest broker with EVERYONE, on EVERYTHING, as a sign of weakness. I’ve been doing this for 30+ years with him. I assure you, he knows who has his back 24/7/365—FAFO🎯
