Was anyone aware the longest armed standoff in American history was in Trinidad, Texas? From 1999-2014.

John Joe Gray assaulted a police officer after he tried to arrest him for carrying a pistol without a license. John refused to show up in court and armed himself in his home. He told abc news“ If they come after us, bring extra body bags. Those who live by the sword die by the sword. He never left his 47 acres and had friends and family patrol the property line with rifles and pistols.

Charges were dropped in 2014.

I took a college course on the history of cars in film, and the shit I learned about freeways blew my mind. They purposely got rid of a trolley system and replaced them with city busses that were bad ON PURPOSE. They wanted 2 cars at every home, so they really made a point to sabotage the public transportation system. Make it so people hated busses.

Freeways also destroyed homes, and caused a lot of pollution. I watched a video about how children were getting sick from the sudden pollution.

To keep troops focused during a new NATO deployment, Army bans such on-base luxuries as Whoppers and lattes; ‘Spartan, plus Wi-Fi’

When the Army rolls into Poland next month to take positions near the Russian border, however, the creature comforts will stay behind. No Whoppers. No foot-long Subway sandwiches. No Pizza Hut pies or caramel lattes at the Army’s version of Starbucks, Green Beans.

“You are never going to see Burger King,” Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, the top Army commander in Europe, warned soldiers of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment at a recent rehearsal drill. “Be ready for potatoes three meals a day for six months. The Irish have figured out how to make it interesting. I am sure you can, too.”

[…]

On the menu for Poland: austerity. “The standard of living is Spartan—Spartan, plus Wi-Fi,” Gen. Hodges told the soldiers, to some chuckling. The Army says the internet is necessary for soldiers to keep up with paperwork, to Skype family members and to watch Netflix.

Some soldiers plan to get their fill before they leave their German base for Poland. “I am probably going to hit the American Burger King on post at least twice this week,” says Sgt. Zackary Cowher, 27 years old. “And then I am going to get out to one of the German Pizza Huts.”

[…]

In 2010, when Gen. Stanley McChrystal was the top commander in Afghanistan, he ordered the closing of Burger King at bases in that country to put the military more on a war footing.

The ban lasted about a year. After Gen. McChrystal was forced to resign after his staff was quoted anonymously speaking derisively about the Obama administration, his replacement, Gen. David Petraeus, decided an Army moves on its stomach. He brought back Burger King.

The U.S. military can send expeditionary fast-food restaurants nearly anywhere in the world.

“The U.S. military can send expeditionary fast-food restaurants nearly anywhere in the world.”

I’d like to imagine that this is the primary means by which US franchises expand: we invade a country, lay down a tactical McDonald’s, install a cooperative dictator, and leave behind a network of Starbucks and safehouses.

American military logistics: delivering depleted uranium and shitty fast food!

American soldiers being moved to the Polish-Russian border, the story: no burger kings in Poland.

They had Subway contracted for bases fighting in the middle east. You can make a 6 figure salary as a sandwich artist provided you’re willing to work in a war zone or close to one.

It’s a shame that Snopes is completely worthless these days

“Yes, this claim is correct as stated, but we don’t like the argument being made and thus will point out irrelevant semiotic nitpicks and claim it isn’t fully correct”

Never before have I so deeply wanted to live in the world of someone’s artwork. Those pictures with the human just burying their entire upper body in the floof, they speak to me on a spiritual level.
