    Interesting story…some years ago now…

    My wife’s sister married a fellow with the last name Walton. They opened a restaurant/general store in Powhatan VA with the name of Walton’s Cracker Barrel. Operated it for a number of years. Then, they were notified by Cracker Barrel that they had to change the name of the store. Led to lots of legal wrangling.

  19. Trump appears to be mulling over the option of stepping back and “doing nothing” more for the Ukraine/Russian War. Word coming back from the recent meeting between European leaders and Trump is they have little to nothing to offer other than words – depending on the US to do the heavy lifting in supplying weapons, money, man power and security guarantees. If the US really steps away the war would end, with Zelenskyy and Putin solving their own problems. This again would reflect what 69% of Ukrainians now seek to happen.

After the war, he endeavored to unite the country again.

    He was misguided and on the wrong side.

    All can be true.

    When offered a role as major general to defend Washington he said:
