Farrell’s didn’t just serve ice cream. It turned dessert into a parade. A kid could sit there with a burger and a soda, and then the bells started. Drums. Servers shouting. The whole dining room turned toward one table while a sundae the size of a small child came through the restaurant like it had its own marching band. That was the Zoo. Not a menu item. An event. Bob Farrell opened the first parlor in Portland, Oregon, in 1963. By the 1970s it had spread across the country as a 1890s-style ice cream parlor with candy counters, vintage uniforms, burgers in the back, and a show up front. Birthdays were louder. The room became part of the party whether you asked it to or not. That is the part people miss when they only remember the ice cream. Farrell’s understood something a lot of modern restaurants forgot: kids don’t just want sugar. They want to feel chosen. They want the whole room to know something good just happened at their table. Most of those locations did not survive ownership changes and thin margins. The last Farrell’s closed in 2019. The recipe for spectacle is still easy to copy. The feeling is not. If you grew up in that era, you probably still know the sound before you remember the flavor. Bells first. Then the drums. Then everybody looking. That was the show.

Dreyer’s didn’t start as a freezer-aisle giant. It started in 1928 on Grand Avenue in Oakland as a small partnership between two craftsmen: William Dreyer, an ice cream maker who had already won prizes and taught dairy classes, and Joseph Edy, a candy maker. They named the shop after the street. The “Grand” stuck. A year later the country was in free fall. Almost all ice cream was still just vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry, usually served as a sundae. Dreyer took chocolate ice cream, cut marshmallows with his wife’s sewing shears, added nuts (walnuts first, almonds later), and called it Rocky Road. The name was intentional. They wanted something that would make people smile when the rest of life felt rocky. That mix-in approach was new. It helped the little Oakland plant survive the Depression and World War II. Cookies ’n Cream came decades later, in 1982, from their official taster John Harrison. Two flavors that feel like they’ve always been there were actually inventions from a neighborhood shop that refused to stay ordinary. The later chapter is just as American: in 1977 two men bought the company for about a million dollars and built the direct-store-delivery system that put those pints in grocery freezers across the country. What began as a 1928 parlor became the brand millions of families grew up opening after dinner. That’s the part most “from business to empire” videos skip. It wasn’t just a logo change. It was two specialists putting their skills together, inventing a flavor to lift spirits in hard times, then scaling quality instead of cheapening it. What was the first Dreyer’s (or Edy’s) flavor you remember from the freezer? Rocky Road or Cookies ’n Cream? #Dreyers #Edys #RockyRoad #CookiesAndCream #AmericanBusinessHistory #Nostalgia

So, what I’ve seen recently on this platform is…that the Wild West is strictly for a certain person. Hmmm. I was country before country was cool. I also, have been doing western content since I’ve started creating. My ancestors came from the Wild West, and your looking at one now. I will not be told by anyone that I am not country or western enough to make content on this platform. Tyftt @TexasStrong59
The persona I portray really isn’t far off from who I’ve always been. 🤠❤️ Loyal to my friends until the very end. I don’t need to pretend to be Western—it’s always been part of me. I started riding as a teenager and later owned 40 acres with around 100 horses on my ranch. 🐎 And yes, I could stay on a mechanical bull longer than most of the guys! 😂🐂 No phony cowgirl here. I don’t pretend to be Western—I AM Western. 🤠🐎❤️ @DeliaTX @RissaMiller2 @StephGrey50

The Supreme Court on Friday cleared the way for the Trump administration to resume its expanded voter citizenship verification program. In a decision issued just 39 days before the November 3 midterm elections, the justices paused a lower court ruling that had blocked the government from using a modified version of the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database, commonly known as SAVE. The program allows states to check voter registration records against federal databases, including Social Security Administration records, to help confirm citizenship status. This development traces back to executive orders issued during President Trump’s second term. Those directives instructed the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to strengthen tools available to state and local election officials for verifying that only United States citizens appear on voter rolls. The SAVE system itself dates to the 1980s and was originally designed to help agencies determine immigration status for public benefits eligibility. Under the recent changes, the system was updated to include records of U.S.-born citizens, permit searches using Social Security numbers or the last four digits of those numbers, and support bulk uploads of entire voter lists rather than one-by-one queries. The service was also made available free of charge to state and local election officials. Before a federal district judge in Washington, D.C., issued an injunction in June, roughly two dozen states had already used the expanded system. Administration filings indicated that more than 65 million voter records had been processed, with tens of thousands of individuals flagged as potential noncitizens for further review by state officials. Supporters of the program argued that these checks provide a practical way for states to maintain accurate voter rolls and uphold the principle that only citizens may vote in federal elections. They maintained that federal law already authorizes the Department of Homeland Security to obtain citizenship and immigration information from other agencies, including the Social Security Administration, when responding to legitimate state requests. Opponents, including the League of Women Voters and privacy advocacy groups, challenged the expansion in court. They contended that combining Social Security data with immigration records created an unauthorized centralized database of sensitive personal information, potentially violating the Privacy Act and the Social Security Act. Critics also raised concerns about accuracy, noting that Social Security records can sometimes contain outdated or incomplete citizenship information, particularly for naturalized citizens. In some cases, eligible voters were reportedly flagged incorrectly, leading to temporary cancellations of registrations that then required individuals to re-prove their status. U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan agreed with the challengers and blocked the modified system, finding that the government had proceeded despite known statutory constraints. An appeals court panel later upheld that order. The Trump administration sought emergency relief from the Supreme Court, describing the lower court injunction as an indefensible barrier that threatened election integrity by limiting the federal government’s ability to assist states. On September 25 the Court granted the request to pause the injunction, allowing the program to resume while the underlying litigation continues. The three liberal justices dissented. With the stay in place, states can once again access the expanded SAVE tool for list maintenance purposes ahead of the midterms. Separate but related efforts by the administration, such as compiling and sharing lists of confirmed adult citizens with each state, have faced their own legal challenges and remain subject to ongoing court proceedings.
Trump can resume its expanded voter citizenship verification program, which lets states use Social Security records to check voters' citizenship. Huzzah! 🫡🇺🇸

This is awesome news and our president is highly talented at making a deal connector fruition! The United States, Denmark, and Greenland signed a new security agreement on September 22, 2026, at the United Nations in New York. President Donald Trump, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen signed it. The important distinction is that the U.S. did not acquire Greenland. The agreement explicitly recognizes the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Denmark and Greenlanders’ right to self-determination. Among the major provisions, the agreement: Allows the U.S. to expand and modernize Pituffik Space Base and establish additional defense areas at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig. Permits additional U.S. defense areas and expanded military operations in Greenland, subject to the procedures specified in the agreement. Provides for a U.S. “Golden Dome” missile-defense presence and broader Arctic/North American defense cooperation. Prevents non-NATO countries from establishing military installations or a persistent military-force presence in Greenland. Has no expiration date and can only be amended by mutual consent. Still requires the necessary Danish and Greenlandic parliamentary procedures before it enters into force. So, yes—the deal has actually been signed, rather than merely announced. Reuters reported today, September 25, that planning is already focusing on locations that could host the expanded U.S. presence.

So I was told by a friend of mine that if I want to quit smoking, I should try hypnosis. 🧐 I have a feeling it won't work on me though...seems like a bunch of mumbo jumbo.🙄 DOES it work? ❓❓❓ Or is it just something that only works on TV shows?

Jesus did not calm the storm after the disciples got their faith together. He calmed it while they were still terrified. That is the part that stays with me. In Mark 4, He said, “Let us go over to the other side.” Then He slept through the waves. The men who lived on that lake—fishermen who knew weather—were sure they were going to die. They did not whisper a polite prayer. They woke Him with a charge: “Teacher, don’t You care if we drown?” He stood up and spoke to creation: “Quiet! Be still.” The wind stopped. The water went flat. Then He asked the harder question: “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” The miracle was not only that the sea obeyed. The miracle was that the One who made the sea was already in the boat. If you are in a storm tonight—health, family, money, a night that will not quiet down—this story is not asking you to pretend you are not afraid. It is asking you to remember who is in the boat with you. Fear can be loud. His word is louder. Read it yourself: Mark 4:35–41. Matthew 8:23–27. #Jesus #Bible #Mark4 #Faith #Gospel #Scripture #PeaceBeStill #ChristianFaith
John 2:1-11 is not a party trick. It is the first sign John records, and it is quieter than people expect. The wine ran out. That was a public shame in that culture, not a punchline. Mary does not demand a miracle. She names the need, then she says the sentence that still runs the Christian life: “Do whatever He tells you.” The six stone jars were not wine barrels. They were for Jewish purification rites — twenty to thirty gallons each, ordinary water for washing. Jesus does not invent new vessels. He fills the old ones to the brim, and what comes out is better than what the feast started with. The master of the banquet tastes it and says the good wine was saved for last. That is the substance. External washing could not keep the joy from running dry. He takes what was already there, fills it completely, and turns duty into abundance. John says this revealed His glory, and His disciples believed. If your table feels empty today, the pattern is the same. Name the need. Do what He says. Let Him fill what you already have all the way to the brim. This is an illustrated reading of John 2:1-11, created as original faith teaching — not a news clip, not a reupload. John 2:11 “This, the first of His signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested His glory. And His disciples believed in Him.” #John2 #WeddingAtCana #FirstSign #GospelOfJohn #BibleTeaching #Faith #Jesus #DoWhateverHeTellsYou #ChristianFaith #Scripture

Tell me if this makes sense.... ➡️ Derek Chauvin was convicted of mvrdering George Floyd: 22½ years in prison. ➡️ A woman named Q’Laundra Hood pleaded guilty after a hit and run killing pedestrian Lance Sotelo. She received 30 days in jail and 3 years probation.🤔 Does that seem fair to you? ❓❓
