Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
If the place was that dirty, how come Hungry Sarah went there to chow down?
1Rump, Huckabeast Et al, deserve all that karma dishes up to them.
2@Steve:
3If I were Sarah, I’d stay out of restaurants. Most of the kitchen staff are immigrants who would gladly take a whiz in her soup.
Steve, that was my first question. Maybe she thought no one would notice her in all that filth. Sorry that was a nasty thing to say, I apologize.I am of two schools on this I must admit. Should the restaurant have said, “we welcome everyone,” or “we treat you the way the government treats refugees” not welcome here.
4Along with some other stuff, like his tarriffs: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/25/business/harley-davidson-us-eu-tariffs.html.
(Harley-Davidson is getting around the tariff war by moving some of its production overseas. I’m sure Herr Drumpf thinks that’s part of his program to save American jobs, right?)
5Been thinking about this denial of service to someone. I think its in regard to what we can change and what we can’t. For instance, I can’t change my heritage. I can change my name, my hair color, eyes with contact lenses, my weight – – you get the picture. But I can change my thinking and even who I associate with. Especially if they are the near occasion of sin, as my folks used to say. Sanders insists on working for someone is is blatantly sociopathic in every respect and is using that pathology to deliberately damage other human beings and even legitimate historic institutions for his own merit. And now that he is stealing babies and small children, its time to own up to complicity. Got that, Sarah?
6@maggie,
I don’t know, a lot of restaurants have signs in their window or on their door that they reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.
7I’m curious why she went to this restaurant? There is more to this story. They are trying to distract from the border story. The media falls for another distraction. Where are these kids they have taken away from the parents?
8Meanwhile the Twitterverse is having fun tossing about the many and sundry health code violations found in Trump properties. 20 live roaches? Eeeewww.
9If a politician is dirty on the inside and the outside, there’s a place for him in the Trump administration.
10Still, The Red Hen has a far, far better record in terms of health code violations than many of Trump’s properties.
“The president’s Mar-a-Lago resort has been faulted with 51 health-code violations since 2013. Health inspectors have also found an additional 30 at Mar-a-Lago’s beach club.”

There were even reports of mice, roaches and other insects in the White House. I guess it’s all Obama’s fault. That guy was infamous for eating cheeseburgers in bed.
12Someone remarked to my husband that Sanders et al. are remarkably trusting if they think kitchen staffs are giving them clean food. (Ever see that movie “The Help?” Think twice before you order the chocolate pecan pie, is all I’m saying.)
13So Sarah gets her hands slapped for using her gov. issue email account to endorse (or in this case unendorse) a specific restaurant. President bone spurs does the exact same thing in specific detail and ……….Nothing is said about it being illegal?
14I can’t help but think that being refused service is a valuable lesson for people who have never had to experience it. Of course, Ms. Huckabuck will not benefit from this lesson if she does not think about how she felt and relate that to how others have felt. There is no empathy in that group of reprobates, only expectations of entitlement.
15those signs in the window asserting the owner has the right to refuse service. Hmm. I thought this went the way of the hoop skirt years ago. They way they are worded leaves way too much leeway such as denying service to people of color. As for going all the way to Lexington, that is not just a 15 minute drive in one’;s own neighborhood. Lexington has at least two undergrad schools and nice rural atmosphere in very pretty country. Could be the group was just out for a Sunday drive to get away from the city. However . . . I still do wonder inasmuch as there are other Red Hen restaurants in the Middle and Northeastern states. As for the owner of the Red Hen, thank goodness she stood up for her people and her own moral center and she did it with some actual class; i.e., taking Sanders to another room so she clearly got the message and then comping the group for what they had eaten. Way better than that long ago nitwit way further south who used axe handles to make his point about his restaurants being pure white.
16If a baker can refuse service to people who offend his beliefs, why can’t a cook or a server? Wouldn’t you agree, Ms. Huckabee Sanders? … Ms. Sanders?
17Prolly off topic, but..
The ‘right to refuse service to anyone” and signs saying same remind me of my little hometown and about 1958 or 1959 and a certain large Victorian residence situated across the street to the west of the town’s farmer’s market and public scale. The residence had seen better days but in the 1950s consisted of a greasy spoon restaurant on the bottom floor and a brothel on the upper floors. All owned by the same white family. Now the most memorable part for me was the enormous “Whites Only” sign above the front doors into the restaurant, the “Whites Only” signs on the outside stairs to the upper floors… AND the “Blacks” signs pointing to the rear of the building where one could find access to a blacks only dining room and stairs to the brothel.
In the past 60 years I have concluded that the larger community in my hometown cared deeply about the color of one’s skin, but this particular white family cared only for the color of the man’s money. The signs made separating the money from the man more palatable for the white man being separated from his money. The black man being separated from his money likely was not consulted on the arrangement.
