    Subway has been on the hoplophobe-coddling victim disarmer bandwagon for a while now.

    I couldn’t find anything either way about Jimmy Johns or Firehouse Subs, but it seems the hoplophobes went targeted Jersey Mike’s after one of their stores allowed a customer to open carry inside the place:

    2. I’m working on resurrecting The Weekly Sedition, which was a public-access TV show I ran from 1997 to 2011, as a podcast, YouTube channel, radio show, TV show, or whatever. If I can do it on multiple venues or media and monetize it, I will.

    Here’s a hint for the willfully misinformed —

    If the “protesters” kept their “protests” *ON* *THE* *SIDEWALKS,* they wouldn’t have to worry about getting run over by drivers.

    Burt Hall — Berry was (or is) a conservative? When was this? I think he was more of a big-spending Keynesian, with his 119-million remake of the Rapid Ride (the DingleBerry Express AKA “ART”) and his 50-mile bike path around the city.

    **** Thank you to everyone who spread the word about the fire and was on standby to help. You all rock!! I was trying to help a Doctor who came home late to the scary news and told my family. Thankfully, last night was one of very few forest fires in New Mexico that was able to be contained and put out quickly overnight. ****

    NEW MEXICO friends:

    There is a fire spreading South side of Tijeras in the Cibola National Forest tonight. If anyone has access to closed horse trailers, please keep me posted. I’ve been personally contacted by folks in need asap (within 2-3 miles of their property).

    *** I’m getting word that the fire has been boxed for now. If winds stay down, all will be well. (@11:30PM)

    This gives them an incentive not to strangle people over stuff like selling loose cigarettes, as was the case with Eric Garner, then make jokes in public on social media over that strangulation.

    The timeline between Return of the Jedi and The Force is Woke was already mapped out in the novels and Dark Horse Comics. They should build upon that instead of rewriting those years from scratch. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
