Formerly, if you as a customer felt like tipping a waiter or waitress, 10% was expected. Now, it’s between 15 and 25%. A small mini-computer calculates your total, more or less, up for demand.
Tipping is for excellent service. Now if someone brings you a cup of coffee, they want $20. Is that fair? Is that right? Most fast-food places don’t tip at all. Sometimes, those people work the hardest.
If you want to tip $100, be my guest. But, don’t ask anyone else to. Some countries don’t have tipping at all. It’s considered an insult.
Here in the USA, it’s a preventive measure, so they don’t spit on your food.
Some folks insist you must tip a lot, to help the workers support their families. That’s Communism. If you want to help others, do it through charity. Don’t force your intentions or beliefs. And don’t give a big tip to those who don’t deserve it.
May 15, 1972, Laurel, Maryland. Alabama Governor George Wallace was shot four times by failed assassin Arthur Bremer. Gov. Wallace survived, but was left paralyzed from the waist down. It is unknown as to what would have been the results of the campaign if Wallace had not been forced out of the race by his injuries. While his campaign was cut short, he still managed to come in third place in the Democratic primaries against Sen. George McGovern and former VP Hubert Humphrey.

Gov. Wallace would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair until his death in 1998.
Gov. Wallace would run again in 1976, unsuccessfully. He would serve four terms as Alabama governor.
1n 1974, Pres. Nixon requested support from Wallace as leader of the “Southern Dixiecrats” during Watergate. Wallace turned him down. When Arizona Gov. Barry Goldwater also refused to help Nixon, the former President decided to resign.
Cover to “An Assassin’s Diary” (out-of-print)
Arthur Bremer’s diary detailed plans to kill either then current Pres. Richard Nixon or leading Democratic candidate George Wallace. Bremer gave up on the idea of killing Nixon when he saw that his Secret Service protection was extensive. This assassination plot was partially used in the 1976 film “Taxi Driver”.
“Taxi Driver” (1976) partially based on the Bremer diary would inspire John Hinckley, Jr. to shoot Pres. Reagan in 1981.
Bremer served thirty-five years in prison was released in 2007.
USAID, (United States Agency for International Development) in operation since November 1961, is in the process of being shutdown by the Trump Administration. Currently, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the new head of USAID. X’s Elon Musk is the head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency known as DOGE. The charges: Gross misconduct and misappropriation of funds throughout the decades of supposed assistance by gov’t officials who have wasted billions of dollars on dubious schemes. As of Feb. 6th, most of employees of USAID have been fired.
There are too many examples to list in this short article. Briefly, the Clintons stole Haitian relief money for the Clinton Foundation. LINK
$40 million in U.S. taxes to fund the Wuhan lab’s Covid-19 virus. LINK
An unknown amount of money used to bring illegal aliens (slave labor) into the USA. LINK
Funding inadvertently or deliberately to terrorist organizations. LINK
While all of this makes Watergate look like an Easter egg hunt, the MSM won’t report it. Why? The mainstream media are on the same gravy train.
Dems reaction: They’re screaming like banshees saying Trump is destroying foreign aid. This isn’t about taking funds away. These audits are about accountability. As I’ve written since the beginning of this website, the Democratic Party is a criminal organization. The Clintons, the Obamas, the Bidens, they’re all guilty, but won’t spend a day in jail.
January 29, 2025, 8:49 p.m. American Airlines Flight 5342 is only fifteen seconds from landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport. At the same time, U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter “PAT 25” is on a training mission, piloted by Capt. Rebecca Lobach. She is accompanied by Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Eaves and Sgt. Ryan O’Hara. Prior to crashing, PAT 25 is warned twice by air-traffic control. Lobach’s co-pilot tells them there is “visual separation”, meaning they are aware of the oncoming aircraft. Thirty seconds later, they collide, exploding into a fireball and crashing into the Potomac River. Sixty-seven people are killed. There are no survivors.
WHAT WENT WRONG?
The Black Hawk helicopter was at least 300 feet altitude. 200 feet is the maximum limit for that area.
Capt. Rebecca Lobach was under-qualified, a trainee with only 45o hours of flight experience.
FAA’s air traffic control was understaffed because of DEI requirements. A “white men need not apply” rule had been implemented during the Obama Administration.
It is believed those on the helicopter were confused by another plane flying above them, while not seeing the oncoming aircraft in their path.
It would be three days before the identity of the Black Hawk’s pilot was revealed. In those three days, Rebecca Lobach’s social media posts were erased by the government. The MSM would also carefully avoid Lobach’s background. She was a former aide to fake Pres. Biden and a feminist-lesbian.
Why the erasure? It’s important for the media to keep up the front that “women can do anything”. They’ve reported that Lobach was “a warm, wonderful person.” A warm, wonderful person that got everybody killed.
The consequences of this accident will mean two things: one, Reagan airport will be shutdown, or two, helicopter flights in the area will be halted.
AA Flight 5342 was returning from Wichita, Kansas from the 2025 U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Fifteen members of the skating team were killed.
