43 Jones Park Drive, Riverside, $10.750 million ($11.5 million asked)

46 Park Avenue, Old Greenwich, $5,38,000 ($6.295 million sked). The same property sold for just $1,126,000 in 2004, but then, the house looked different.

46 Stonehedge Drive S $2.025 million ($1.795 asked) This development has quiet STREETS, LARGE LOTS, AND HOUSES THAT ARE COMPARATIVE BARGAINS IF YOU’RE NOT WEDDED TO THE EASTERN SIDE OF TOWN

72 Glenville Street. $1.2 million ($999,999 asked)

Well of course she did; that's what they do (Note that the man not only appropriated females' sex, he also stole some white girls’ hair style)

Massachusetts needed a leader for its Commission on the Status of Women, and Governor Maura Healey knew the right man for the job. Wait, ‘man?’ The Democrat passed by actual women to appoint a man who pretends to be a woman to the female-centric position. That ballsy move has reality-embracers fuming.

I now understand how socialists are being elected so easily

from campus to election booth, on their way to offset your vote

I saw a reference to something this morning that was so implausible, I looked for confirmation: 42% of Americans polled on the topic aren’t aware that potato chips are made from potatoes. The answer below is from Google’s AI, but it links to a variety of sources, including Fortune Magazine. That, and the fact that Lays obviously believed in the poll’s accuracy, and voluntarily incurred what must have been the huge expense of redesigning its packaging and promotional campaigns in response, is sufficient evidence, for me, to accept it as true.

God help the nation; its people can’t.

These are results for “was there really a poll showing that 42% of americans didn't know that potato chips are made from potatoes?”

AI Overview

Yes, Lay's cited a survey, believed to be from 2021, that reported 42% of consumers did not realize their potato chips were made from real potatoes

. The company released this statistic in October 2025 to explain its largest brand re-design in nearly a century, which now features images of potatoes and the phrase "Made with real potatoes" prominently on its packaging. 

  • The survey's origin: The 42% figure comes from a survey conducted by the parent company, PepsiCo, in 2021.

  • The reason for the re-design: Lay's is revamping its packaging to make the "farm-to-bag" journey and the product's main ingredient, potatoes, more clear to consumers.

  • New packaging: The updated designs feature real potatoes, rustic imagery, and phrases like "Made with real potatoes" to address the survey results. 

I’m grateful that Twitchy watches these shows and reports back, so that I don’t have to. But oh, the highlights!

Dem to Scott Jennings: Blasting Drug Boats Must End Since Bananas, Kids, and Girlfriends Could Be Onboard

We don’t know how Scott Jennings doesn’t laugh himself out of CNN’s studio most nights. The Republican commentator matches wits with some of the dumbest Democrats the party has to offer. On Friday’s NewsNight, a panel Democrat stated that President Donald Trump needs to stop blasting narco-terrorist drug boats speeding from Venezuela because the vessels might be stocked with bananas, kids, or… girlfriends? Wut?!

This is a must-watch.

‘Black women can’t swim because of societal expectations’: Michelle Obama’s viral claim sparks controversy

“Our hair straightener washes out in water”, she explains, without noting that, if whites adopting Phoenician and Greek dreadlocks is (somehow) an act of cultural appropriation of black culture, blacks artificially duplicating white’s straight hair is just as offensive — or would be, if we cared.

UPDATE

Okay, against my better judgment, I read more of what she’d said and apparently, she was forced to use hair straightener because that ol’ Debble White Man made her do it. Only because she got the kinks out of her system was she allowed to attend Princeton, Harvard Law School, land a job as Vice President of Community Affairs at the University of Chicago earning $265,000 in 2006 ($434,000 current dollars) and go on to amass a net worth of $140 million and own a real estate portfolio of four homes, thus proving that America is a racist country, and the Black Man just can’t get ahead.

The properties they own are:

  • Washington, D.C. The Obamas purchased the nine-bedroom, 8,200-square-foot mansion in the exclusive Kalorama neighborhood for $8.1 million in 2017 after renting it for several months.

  • Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts In 2019, they bought a sprawling 29.3-acre, seven-bedroom coastal estate in Edgartown, which had an asking price of nearly $15 million.

  • Chicago, Illinois The couple still owns the six-bedroom, redbrick Georgian home in the Kenwood/Hyde Park neighborhood that they bought for $1.65 million in 2004, before moving into the White House.

  • O'ahu, Hawaii The Obamas are also linked to a large, multi-residence oceanfront compound in Waimanalo, O'ahu. The property, which is actually three separate homes on three acres of land, was purchased by a close friend under an LLC and is rumored to include a residence intended for the Obamas. Barack Obama was reportedly seen visiting the construction site in 2022.

“Let me explain something to white people,” she began.

“Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern, so when we’re straightening it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness. That’s why so many of us can’t swim… and we run away from the water. People won’t go to the gym… because we’re trying to keep our hair straight for y’all.”

Oh, please. Literally nobody believes this victimhood fantasy. Who exactly is begging Michelle Obama — or anyone — for hair advice? Who are these mysterious white people supposedly obsessing over black hairstyles? Spoiler alert: They don’t exist. But sure, go ahead and stereotype an entire race while crying about being stereotyped.

“It is exhausting and it’s so expensive and it takes up so much time. Braids are for y’all, so we can work harder and focus on the work,” she claimed.

Wait, WHAT? Braids are… for white people? So Black women style their hair specifically to please… whom, exactly? This makes zero sense, but okay, Michelle, whatever helps you sleep at night in your multimillion-dollar mansion.

But buckle up, because here comes the pièce de résistance:

“So… why do we need an act, a-, g-, an active law to tell white folks to get outta our hair? Don’t— Don’t tell me how to wear my hair. Don’t wonder about it. Don’t touch it. Just don’t.”

Never have. Never will. Couldn’t care less.
