The Week In Pictures: Cracker Barrel Goes
Woke Edition
Posted By: Hazymac, 8/23/2025 6:43:02 AM
There was important news this week: apparent progress toward peace in Ukraine, a crackdown on crime in D.C., and much else. But those serious topics were pretty much ignored by the nation’s memesters. The story of the week, hands down, was the Cracker Barrel logo reboot. Not having learned, apparently, from the experiences of Bud Light, Target and others, Cracker Barrel debuted a new logo that was seen as an abandonment of its middle American roots. There were other meme-stories too, like the Rhode Island Assistant Attorney General who, apparently the worse for drink, tried to pull rank on a commendably patient police officer. The body cam footage, happily, survives.

OK, It’s Time to Arrest AOC

Ah, these are glorious times to be alive. After years of leftists pursuing lawfare, with ever-increasing levels of brazenness and vengeance, against Donald Trump and others, finally, patriots are fighting back. It looks as if at least some of the people who attempted to frame Trump for collusion with Russia are in genuine legal trouble, and more could be coming down the pike for those who cooked up the Jan. 6 “insurrection” and other efforts to make sure that Orange Man Bad would never be able to return to the White House.
Leftists are, of course, howling with rage and fear, and claiming that Trump is politicizing

FBI agents on Thursday morning raided the Maryland home of John Bolton, the former national security advisor to President Donald Trump and a staunch critic of the president, NBC News confirmed.
The raid is part of a “national security investigation in search of classified records,” a person familiar with the matter told NBC News.
An FBI official said, “The FBI is conducting court authorized activity in the area. There is no threat to public safety,” but declined to comment on Bolton, according to NBC.
FBI Director Kash Patel tweeted “NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission” at around 7 a.m. ET, the same time his agents reportedly arrived
Trump: No Wind, No Solar
13 replies
One of President Trump’s best qualities is that he understands energy–in particular, the vital need for affordable, reliable energy. Trump understands, further, that “green” energy technologies, wind and solar, are not and cannot ever be either affordable or reliable. They are essentially a heist, an attempt to transfer trillions of dollars out of certain industries, and into others. Also, out of the United States and into China. If the Left can pull it off, it will be the biggest transfer of wealth in human history.
I hate it when Republican politicians subscribe to an “all of the above” approach to energy, which implies that wind and solar
Alligator Alcatraz ordered closed by judge

From the Miami Herald,
Judge orders Alligator Alcatraz shut down in 60 days, says no more new detainees.
It’s an Obama-appointed federal district judge, of course, and this is the case involving the alleged “environmental damage” being done to one of the world’s biggest swamps. From the Herald,
Though her order does not prohibit the state from making repairs to the site, the most striking aspect of the order is her demand that the state begin removing all generators, gas, sewage, and other waste items that have transformed the airstrip into a detention center within 60 days, rendering the site uninhabitable.
The state of Florida, of course, is appealing the decision.
Existential climate threat: dogs?!

Everything is caused or not caused by climate change. It is the inevitable, never-changing source of blame for any societal ill, real or imagined, but largely imagined. Rain? Climate change. No rain? Climate change. Flood? Climate change. Dought? Climate Change. Tuesday? Climate change. Trump? Climate change. Dogs? Climate change.
What?! Dogs?! Dogs, as MPR News explains: (X) "People over-assign impact to actually pretty low-impact actions such as recycling, and underestimate the actual carbon impact of behaviors much more carbon intensive, like flying or eating meat," said Madalina Vlasceanu, report co-author and professor of environmental social sciences at Stanford University.

The far-left Washington Post obviously wants Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dead. Nothing else explains why the Post published a story 1) revealing the Secretary’s security protocols, and 2) complaining he has too much security.
If there is one truism about our regime media, it’s that they only complain about spending when it comes to protecting everyday American people through defense spending, or protecting Republicans with security details.
We p*ss away trillions on welfare fraud, abortions, public schools, taxpayer benefits for illegal aliens, and antisemitic propaganda from NPR and PBS… Nevertheless, outlets like the Post only fight for more spending on all that. But when it comes to protecting the people they hate
Are They Trying to Get Him Killed?

Today the Washington Post published a long hit piece on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s security detail. The article is based on interviews with “more than a dozen” people, all of whom, of course, are anonymous. This is the gist:
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s unusually large personal security requirements are straining the Army agency tasked with protecting him as it pulls agents from criminal investigations to safeguard family residences in Minnesota, Tennessee and D.C., according to numerous officials familiar with the operation.
The Post’s thesis is elaborated on in great detail. We have, for example, this account of a Washington Nationals baseball game:
In late July, for instance, the Hegseths wanted
James Comey, Swiftie
13 replies
James Comey betrayed the trust of the American people as Director of the FBI, and did damage to that organization from which it may never recover. From the very beginning of the first Trump administration, Comey tried to undermine and ultimately destroy Trump’s power to govern. To his everlasting shame, Comey collaborated in publicizing the Steele “dossier,” which he and everyone else knew to be complete fiction. He did this out of political malice.
Now, Comey is under investigation by the Department of Justice. He lied, without a doubt. He helped to perpetrate the Russia Collusion Hoax. He betrayed his office by misusing the power of the FBI to advance partisan
I’m not a Sydney Sweeney fan, but I don’t hate her either. The funny thing is that I think most liberals didn’t know her either, or didn’t have a strong opinion about her, until she did that American Eagle jeans ad, which sent the online Left into a frenzy. The good news is that she will survive this pathetic tantrum. Only 12 percent of Americans felt this ad promoted Nazism. Yes, we have a lot of mentally ill people.
Yet, one New Yorker writer, who torched the actress, was forced to clean her social media profiles after her anti-white posts resurfaced. The Internet is forever, and these posts were insane
Hurricane Erin strengthened back into a Category 4 behemoth over the weekend, the latest shift in what has been a remarkably fast-changing storm.
The hurricane’s behavior in recent days makes it one of the fastest-strengthening Atlantic hurricanes on record and yet another indication that climate change is increasing the risk of rapidly intensifying storms.
Erin became the first hurricane of this year’s Atlantic season Friday and exploded in strength from a Category 1 into a Category 5 storm in a little over 24 hours. Even after it weakened and re-strengthened into a Category 4 storm, Erin’s jaw-dropping transformation ranks it among the five storms
It turns out many Americans aren’t great at identifying which personal decisions contribute most to climate change.
A study recently published by the National Academy of Sciences found that when asked to rank actions, such as swapping a car that uses gasoline for an electric one, carpooling or reducing food waste, participants weren’t very accurate when assessing how much those actions contributed to climate change, which is caused mostly by the release of greenhouse gases that happen when fuels like gasoline, oil and coal are burned.
“People over-assign impact to actually pretty low-impact actions such as recycling, and underestimate the actual carbon impact of behaviors much more carbon intensive,

The headline read: “If We Really Did Have a ‘Creator,’ He Certainly Wouldn’t Have Been Very intelligent.”
Say what?!
The headline -- and story -- were on a site called The Daily Galaxy, of which I know nothing. But the piece and its banner were spawned by a remark Neil deGrasse Tyson made during one of his many public talks/interviews. At one point, Tyson actually stated, “If we had a creator, I’d have to say that the creator is pretty stupid.”
Unlike Neil deGrasse Tyson Himself, of course. I mean, he’s brilliant.
Tyson also magnanimously stated: “I have no problems, if as we probe the origins of things, we bump up

bag for Trump 23 replies
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson invoked a popular comic strip in an angry dissent, accusing her colleagues of being in the bag for President Donald J. Trump.
The left-winger who was appointed by disgraced former President Joe Biden to fulfill his pledge to put a black woman on the SCOTUS has repeatedly shown that she lacks the intellect and temperament for the job with her emotional antics.
Not that another example was needed, but Jackson served it up anyway, describing the court’s latest overruling of an activist lower court judge who blocked the ending of DEI-based grants at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as “Calvinball.”
A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from cutting off federal funding to dozens of "sanctuary" cities and counties — covering several of the largest cities in the U.S. The judge had previously ruled in April that it was unconstitutional for President Trump to freeze funding for local governments that limit their cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement — commonly known as sanctuary cities. That ruling applied to more than a dozen cities and counties that had sued the Trump
The most delusional, destructive demographic on the planet has struck again. No, I'm not talking about Islamic terrorists or Chinese communists. I'm talking about affluent, white, female liberals.
In the wake of President Donald Trump's crime crackdown, which is reportedly heading to Chicago next, an absolute unit of an AWFL stepped forth to deliver a post that broke the internet. Her name is Jill Ciminillo, and she wants you to know that she was carjacked in Chicago. Not only that, but she had her arm broken by the criminals who violently attacked her. In fact, she posted pictures of her bruising to prove it,
Representative Al Green, who has served Texas’s 9th Congressional District since 2005, will finally leave office.
The Texas Legislature, led by Republicans, passed a legal redrawing of congressional maps that effectively eliminates District 9. Green, best known not for legislation but for shouting down President Trump during his address to Congress in March 2025, will be removed from office after nearly two decades of loud, ineffective, and divisive politics.
Unsurprisingly, Rep. Al Green called the redistricting racist. But the only racial injustice here is the Democrat Party’s decades-long abuse of district lines to cling to power.
We learn the lesson as children that we are the company we keep — and this holds true for politicians seeking power over us.
The allies they choose tell us what they find tolerable, and the more heinous the compan, the more we should be on guard about what changes are coming our way.

This week the FBI conducted a seven- or eight-hour raid on former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s home and his office. (Unlike raids such as those the Biden administration conducted against Trump, his employees, advisors, and associates, no press was alerted and engaged, so reports are from bystanders who videotaped it on their cell phones.) Is the raid on John Bolton’s home retribution? Revival of a dormant case against him for mishandling national security? Something more sinister?
I don’t know why anyone is giving George Conway a platform anymore, but for some reason he appeared on the latest episode of The Bulwark’s podcast. Naturally, he served up one of the wildest, most paranoid rants you’ll ever hear outside of an MSNBC broadcast.
He doesn’t have a shred of serious analysis left. All he’s doing now is spoon-feeding the anti-Trump crowd the junk they crave—cheap conspiracy fuel to prop up their endless fearmongering.
“If Donald Trump gets control of policing in the Capitol,” Conway warned ominously, “he wants complete control… think about the consequences.” Then he went full Hollywood thriller:
The Left pretends to pity the plight of the people we used to call “vagrants” but are now required to call “homeless.” Their numbers keep growing – despite the fact that we keep throwing money at them and giving them free housing, free meals and other free stuff.
Let’s stop right there. That last sentence, expressed as I just expressed it, is easily recognized as a “Fox Butterfield.” He was a New York Times columnist who expressed puzzlement at the “paradox” that more criminals were being sentenced to prison even though crime was down.
Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien from India who allegedly made an illegal U-turn in a tractor-trailer rig he was driving in Florida, which resulted in a pile-up and three deaths, has been ordered held without bail.
A California man charged with vehicular homicide and manslaughter in a two-vehicle crash on Florida's Turnpike that left three dead earlier this month has been ordered held without bail.
Harjinder Singh, 28, an undocumented immigrant from India, made his first appearance Aug. 23 from the St. Lucie County Jail via a Zoom link to the downtown Fort Pierce courthouse. He is charged with three counts each of vehicular homicide and manslaughter.

A few years ago, on the way home from a road trip, my wife and I stopped at a Cracker Barrel along the highway. The kids had never been to one, and we wanted to share with them one of our favorite childhood experiences. Needless to say, we were disappointed. It took forever to get our food. And when it finally arrived, the food wasn’t just bad. It was downright awful. The waiter, bless his heart, was a space cadet.
On the way out, our kids asked in genuine befuddlement why we talked the place up so much.
At least four people are dead, including a child, and 19 others were wounded in shootings across Chicago during the weekend, according to police. The ages of the victims range from 5 to 48. In the first shooting of the weekend, a 33-year-old woman was driving just before 7 p.m. in the 1900 block of West 66th Street when she suffered a gunshot wound to her right eye. Police said an unknown suspect inside a black vehicle fired multiple gunshots in the victim's direction and then fled in an unknown direction.
