I’ve often said our country was founded by geniuses, but it’s being run by idiots.

The Schuylkill Distressway
When I was growing up, we called it the Schuylkill “Distressway.” Some people call it the “Surekill” Expressway.
Ah yes, the Schuylkill morning commute also known as Philadelphia’s longest running psychological experiment. This morning commute has it all. A 14 minute standstill because someone sneezed in the left lane, a guy eating a hoagie the size of a toddler while doing 75, three separate people trying to merge from a stop like they’re entering the Daytona 500, and that one car that somehow appears in front of you no matter what lane you’re in. You don’t drive 76…you survive it.
Meanwhile in Philly

⚾Unforgettable Moment You Can’t Miss ⚾
I’ve never seen anything like this before.
Yum! 😋
If you’re from Pennsylvania, you already know, wet-bottom shoofly pie isn’t just dessert, it’s heritage. This gooey, molasses-packed masterpiece came from the Pennsylvania Dutch in the 1800s, made with simple pantry staples and no need for refrigeration.
The “wet bottom” is that thick, sticky layer at the base that sets it apart from the dry kind. Let’s be honest, that’s the whole reason we’re here. It’s called “shoofly” because the sweet molasses would attract flies cooling on windowsills. Only in PA do we proudly serve pie for breakfast…and call it tradition! ~Just Pennsylvania
Game On?
This Day in History
Nikki Haley said this about the Confederate flag and the Mother Emmanuel shooting.
“When I became governor, the Confederate flag was a defining issue for how a lot of Americans regarded South Carolina. I made a point, early on, of talking to both Republicans and Democrats to see if there was the political will to take the flag down once and for all. Members from both parties pushed back against the idea.”
“But the images of the Charleston killer with the Confederate flag changed all that. The Mother Emmanuel shooter had made sure that anyone who saw the Confederate flag would now think of the killer and the image of him holding it. Clearly, something had to be done.”
