Pushback: McDonald’s ‘McPlant Burgers’ Fails

Plant-based burgers? No thanks!

I don’t know what our global ruling class is trying to turn us into–well, slaves, I guess–but at least here and there it isn’t working.

McDonald’s has conceded that its “plant-based McPlant Burgers” has been a bust (https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/mcdonalds-us-customers-do-not-like-mcplant-burgers). Nobody wants ’em.

This experiment began in 2022, in some 600 restaurants in two markets, San Francisco and Dallas. (What? This failed in San Francisco?) But now the CEO of McDonald’s has admitted it was a failure.

The crazies want to control our food supply and not let us eat meat. Maggot milk, fried crickets, lab-grown fake meat–is this menu designed to humiliate us? (Hint: yes.) The World Economic Forum calls us “useless eaters,” and wants us pacified with drugs and video games until they decide what to do with us.

But they can’t do it unless we let them.

‘Memory Lane’ Contest, Day 5

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Please don’t tell me we’ve already run out of entries in this contest. Let’s get some action! Here, I’ll write up one more memory and hopefully inspire others.

Child playing with toy boat in puddle. Kid play outdoor by ...

After a heavy rain, the horseshoe pits in the playground next door, thanks to soil that was mostly clay, turned into pools of water that only drained very slowly.

That was our signal to break out the toy boats and stage epic naval battles. When we got a jigsaw we were able to promote a Monitor vs. Merrimack rematch. With the help of the saw, we made our own replicas. It was 1961, the Civil War Centennial. What a splash that made!

So let’s have some of your memories, folks. So far only a few of you have taken part. Come on, this is for everybody! And there’ll be a prize, so don’t be shy–you might win.

‘The Safest Vacation Ever!’ (2021)

As Election Day looms, Democrats are frantically seeking a way out.

They have found the upside of a lockdown!

The Safest Vacation Ever!

What’s the worst thing about being stuck in your house until the Party says you can come out? Well, it gets kind of boring, doesn’t it? But once the virus or the germ or whatever gets loose, Safety must be the only consideration.

And where are you safer than in your own linen closet? We won’t even need mail-in voting drop boxes this time! We can vote by cell phone!

Problem solved! Till 2028.

‘Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet’

(Did God just save our country, last night? By turning Biden into toast? Rejoice!)

This was the first “modern” or “contemporary” hymn I fell in love with–Thy Word Is a Lamp Unto My Feet. This is from a castle in Rumania.

Cat vs. Deer (I Think)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

What’s going on here? Are the cat and the deer playing a game with each other, or are they just cheesed off? Don’t tell me the cat is stalking the deer. I mean, what would he do with it, if he caught it?

‘Memory Lane’ Contest, Day 4

Science fiction magazine - Wikiwand

We weren’t quite up to this level… but it did inspire us.

Gee whiz, no entries yet today! No shared memories. So let me share one of my own, here, and see if it gives you any ideas. Please remember, this contest is open to everyone. First-timers welcome!

Back in high school, in the 1960s, some of us got together and published our own science fiction magazine, The Diomegan.

Memory Lane: Our Own Science Fiction Magazine

Two or three of our staff were , in my opinion, geniuses. One built his own computer–in 1966! Another cleaned up on both College Bowl and It’s Academic. I would love to get in touch with them again. I’ll bet they wound up millionaires.

It was all original material, even the art work, with short stories, articles on science and technology, and a serialized novel by yours truly. We went to science fiction conventions in New York, and met Arthur C. Clarke–wow! Very heady stuff for a bunch of Jersey teens.

William, Jeff, and Marian–how are you guys? I’m missing you today.

And now let’s have some readers’ memories.

Paramount Studios: $500 Million in Cuts

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

MTV ENTERTAINMENT

Paramount Studios has announced plans to cut half a billion dollars from their operating budget; and this means bye-bye to a lot of jobs. Breitbart calls it “a bloodbath” (https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2024/06/26/nolte-bloodbath-paramount-studio-announces-500m-cuts/).

They’re blaming it on competition from streaming services vs. regular cable TV; but I think the problem us the content.

Look at that picture. If I’d seen it when I was a little boy, it would have given me whooping nightmares. I mean, this is grotesque! Downright hideous.

Meanwhile, their revenues are up 13%, but operating income is down 61%, over the past five years; and so far this year, their stock is down 26%. Paramount is losing tons of money. Its three CEOs (three?) are talking about selling off some assets.

Paramount also controls Showtime, MTV, and CBS.

Bigger is not always better.

If they’re pitching their content to the Wokies, they have ignored the oft-proved maxim, “Go woke, go broke.”

Not a dry eye in the house!

 

‘One Debate, Three Movies’ (My Newswithviews Column, June 27

Toshiro Mifune in another kind of “debate”

This is to help you get through tonight’s, um, “presidential debate”: Donald Trump vs. Biden, CNN, the rest of the nooze networks, the deep state, and anyone else who wants to pile on.

Here are three movies which will help you understand both what is happening and what ought to happen. Movies do that rather well sometimes.

One Debate, Three Movies

Make no mistake about it: this is Donald Trump vs. the whole Far Left power class. They hate him almost as much as they hate us plebs.

The movies, of course, have happy endings. I find it hard to believe that this “debate” will have one.

‘I Won’t Read This!’ (2021)

When it’s agony to read

It’s been a while since the Perky Publicist invited me to review one of her perky books. I made a point of publicly refusing. Maybe it finally sank in.

I Won’t Read This!

New Age pseudo-religion combined with pseudo sex–what’s not to like?

It’s awesome, truly awesome, the garbage that our popular culture cranks out. It’s a bottomless sewer. The devil’s homework.

This is, after all, a Christian website. There is a limit to what I’m willing to read. I mean, some of these books would debase the moral character of a ghoul…
