Of COURSE! Keep on going with that train. The stuff like the "The Congressional Black Caucus" and the "Congressional Asian Caucus" and the "Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus" or the "Congressional Hispanic Caucus" (from which Hispanic Republicans are barred from membership) are the ones that I enjoying teasing about. IMAGINE if someone tried to start "The Congressional Anglo Caucus"? What a riot!
glad your joking , because a cracker barrel was a barrel of hard tack. cracker/biscuit a food of voyages , travels and fed as a portable ration that needed no cooking or refrigeration. the buissness model is to place stores/restaurants along major travel corridors and be a comforting place to eat while traveling.

A big bank, based in Portland, has recently taken over the smaller town bank in Idaho , where I used to have my accounts. They have merged with a number of other banks in several states . It was bad timing for them, when the day came to shut down the Idaho bank , taking several days before its customers could log into their new re done accounts.
In their description about themselves, they made no secret of their agendas , just the same as some of the other big banks that have recently gone under and want bailing out, because of those same ideologies . Reading their trigger words , was enough for me. It made me ill reading all the woke agenda stuff right in their website descriptions.
I found the perfect small town bank in MT , and I love it. Should have transferred years ago.
I found out, I wasn't the only one jumping ship . The gal whom I dealt with , as I withdrew my accounts to put in my new bank, bemoaned the fact that a bunch of long time customers were doing the same as I.
She said the girls on the team there, who all know me, were still working there and they will miss me. I told them I will miss them too. I told them it wasn't them at all. But when they are now told to do something, they have to follow the new owner's orders.
I don't know how long banks can hold out and not comply with this flood of American Fascism . Was that Umpqua Bank that took over your local bank? Umpqua took over my local Columbia Bank last week. I went in the day before the takeover and moved my accounts to Timberland Bank; a local owned bank.

The news reported the 2 walmart stores were the only 2 in the portland area. I think they maybe only have 12 in the state, not sure though There are 45 walmarts in Oregon, 12 in the portland area, according to Walmart. Don't believe the news.

I believe the two that are closing are within the city limits. The others are outside the limits. The Cracker Barrels are in the Portland Metro area.

Soon there won't be a grocery store or pharmacy for miles in these big cities. I personally don’t feel sorry for any of these Democrat liberal run cities falling apart or the people living in them that voted for the wacko politicians running them. We said the same thing when Minneapolis was burning, we didn't care, found it amusing, etc. Guess what happened, all the people who could afford to leave moved out my way and now land prices are ridiculous, there are a ton more houses, apartments even in small towns, farms sold for houses. It sucks.

Cracker Barrel just closed its two remaining stores in Portland, OR and Walmart announced it is closing its only two stores by the end of this month. The reasons they are citing are the Pandemic and crime including uncontrollable shop lifting. Cracker Barrel closed another store in Bend, OR. The thing I don’t understand the politicians in Portland don’t seem to care or do anything about the crime and the disintegration of their city. Crack Barrel closed because of their gawd awful bland food . They couldn't figure it out Chinamart ironically closed for the very libtard , woke , big government , defund the police crap They support . The freaks that run the city of Portland will in no way put 2 and 2 together .....2+2 =5

Too bad the liberal freaks in places like Portland and Seattle have turned these places and surrounding areas into great big Sholes !!!!

So will any of them change their voting habits or do they remain slow learners?
Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.

Just about all liberal controlled large cities are going this way....not going to stop but will get worse/spread. Thats a fact. I spent most of my life in Nebraska. Then Florida. Now NW Arkansas There are too many people. Everywhere. The little settlement we live in is just outside Fayetteville. Where the Univerdity is. Our little village doesn't have street lights, yet just outside the village is gated communities with million dollar homes. First California, Washington, Oregon, New York, Colorado, now Montana, Idaho, Texas. It's a nonstop situation.
