A dark day.
Surf & Turf aficionados spent yesterday cheersing chilled prosecco flutes in honor of the annual release of revered foodie blog Eat This, Not That’s “5 Chain Restaurants With the Best Surf and Turf Combos Under $25” list.
While Australia’s Outback Steakhouse took home the top prize, fat cats, everywhere, were united in love of the luxury steer/shellfish combination. For the first time in many years, it did not matter if a person was liberal or conservative, MAGA or Antifa. The only important thing was fine, expensive taste.
Surf & Turf bonding the world.
Well, its all wrecked, now, the tasty meal becoming politicized after Sec. of War Party Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon was revealed to have spent $6.9 million on lobster tails, in September alone, in order to pair them with beef.
$81.5 million during the whole of 2025.
According to Slate:
The lobster tail data comes from public records obtained by Open the Books, a nonprofit that turns a critical eye to government spending. A liberal advocacy group it is not: The organization purports to track the proliferation of “radical DEI” school curricula and “anti-Israel worldviews.” But it also routinely takes aim at the exorbitant expenditures of so-called Use-It-or-Lose-It September, the month at the end of the fiscal year when each government department must either plow through the rest of its budget or end up with an unusable surplus that could mean a lower budget the next year.
Left-leaning Dems, in any case, are allegedly “fuming” over the spend, drawing the ire of right-leaning Fox News.
Surf & Turf now dividing the world.

If this doesn’t say we’re great again nothing will.
So much for the party of fiscal responsibility. Another $2T in debt. These fucking clowns couldn’t even run a food truck.
I’m cool with purchasing of lobster if the military is paying market price. As long as it’s not as bad as the late 80s when the service branches were buying 400 dollar hammers and 200 dollar toilet seats, let the boys, girls and non binary service folk enjoy the finer things in life on our dime.
Yes. What madness has Tyler Wright got install for us this year??? Training down the house, mattering black lives, painting rainbows for alphabet people or just working on that drop wallet drop turd turn thing? Think the younbloods might have their way with her this season…
The food in the military is probably a good bit worse than your average college dorm. Gaps probably bigger today than when I was in college.
is this recycling day?
20 year old GWS attack story, 2 week old star and lobster for the troops story?
what’s next, Tyler Wright has a medical issue?
it’s starting to look like we need more stories about….next maybe the USA’s medical problem,LOL!
yes
we know you’re no entomologist Chas, but you are a linguist, and lobsters everywhere prefer to be called crustaceans, not silly shellfish
I think part of Asset-Trump’s bosses’ plan to destroy the US is to basically bankrupt it.
Theil etc. are busy buying up foreclosed farmland etc and will divy up the place between them into feudal territories.
That really is happening
Wealth consolidation is real and manipulated.
You should see the amount of commercial RE that is literally empty… they don’t want tenants
Residential RE where homes are purchased for cash and no one occupies the home?
Pinch the farmers to sell, now you’ve got their dirt. No surprises

I know what I post, is not what Red State says…….and that your maga blinkers stop you from actually conversing civilly with others ,who have differing opinions based on real life facts……making jokes and dismissing the current global instability as just an excursion….FFS OTTO….watching taco in action at his taco best…WE WON/WE HAVE DESTROYED IRANS MISSILE CAPABILITY/THEY WANT TO NEGOTIATE/ IT’S ONLY AN EXCURSION BLAH BLAH BLAH……..AND CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US WITH THE STRAIGHT OF hORMUZ?
……..SO WE ARE AND WILL ALL …be paying a price in a diminished lifestyle…for a pedophile President who is destroying the USA as “the” world power” for his own increase in wealth……is that funny ?
Fight the pedos by providing more trans strip shows for children!!
fight the pedos at the top…our elite rich and powerful…
How?
c’mon bexy release the epstein files….lets get on with the “cleansing!”
lemme’ splain Lucy.
US and Israel go in and take out Iran’s leadership, and infrastructure then obliterates their weapons capability. Iran attacks it’s muslim neighbors further diminishing what little weapons they have left, and threatens to shut down oil transport in the strait pissing off everyone in the region and their buyers worldwide.
The President then says: you guys want inexpensive oil, help us keep the strait open.
It’s called establishing a coalition of stakeholders with skin in the game. It also generates revenue for the new Iran.
Maybe President Trump is smarter than you think…..but how could that be?
MO from Vic has way better sources and advisors than POTUS.
You, Happy Camper,, are a brilliant strategist! I mean it!!!
So blessed to have you encapsulate all the news so succinctly.
And inspiring. Trump is smarter than we think.
Thank you Hippy. I knew you’d see the light.
When’s the big reveal?
yes he’s getting really rich and we are paying him for it!
Nahh mate. No one’s signing up to be part of that quagmire.
firstly yes I have multiple sources of news left and right…….and fuck yeah , much better sources of facts etc than POTUS”S blatant lies to his gullibles!
Iran is disaster for USA/trump….every so called USA Allies have categorically refused to send any help to aid the USA policing the Hormuz straight…….USA is alone on this…but as POTUS said we have one, we have decimated Iran’s capabilities both militarily and economically….so why need help?
As far as the straights of Hormuz goes…ships are going through, it’s not closed…only to USA/Israel and any countries associated with them. China India are still receiving oil every day from Iran…through Jask…as we speak it looks like Iran will OK shipments of oil now to China through Hormuz……so yeah we have new gas prices a new normal as Iran is now controlling the game!
So if trump is so smart , how come his whole tariff policy failed miserably, as is his America first policy…higher cost of living/ higher inflation/degrading of the USA’s military effectiveness/Epstein files now alive and with Bondi being subpoenaed now….yeah maybe all the media I watch is wrong and Red State is right if not…..welcome to a new world, a poorer/angrier brought about by moral bankruptcy….
Just in, Iran doubled down and now wants a long protracted war…..threatening it’s neighbors with ,” any help given to the USA , will be destroyed!” now how could they do that…….by attacking the countries desalination plants….so there’s no water left in the country..
How much longer do you/Red state /POTUS think the war/excursion go on?
the US has quite nicely profited from it’s wars …….parasitic Israel…..now there’s a thought…and yes the US military has given lives in the ME…but nothing close to the destruction and killing of ME civilians…..there’s one clear message from Israel……we defend ourselves and our people….so stop attacking us!
Steak and lobster in the US military are nothing new.
My dad was drafted and became a flight mechanic on both the Nimitz and Ranger during Vietnam. He said they ate like royalty and there was steak and lobster at least once a week.
You don’t hold a military together by serving prison food.
I would pay to watch the complainers eat MRE’S breakfast, lunch and dinner for just one week.
depending on the year(s), your pops and mine may have known each other. same boats same theater.
I’m fine with that. But don’t think for a minute if Biden or Obama did this that Fox news would have non stop 24 hour programming for months on end banging on this.
was just proud to see the BG comment section awarded at the Oscars last night #OBAA
#takethatturpel
Israel should pay for the lobsters using our money!
One of my favorite scenes from the old Kung Fu tv series is, when Caine walks into a saloon or store and says:
“I would like some beans and salt”.
classic
how much do you really need?
Ya pathetic, people starving in 3rd world countries too, goverement can’t even pass term-limits on senators, pathetic, career politicians milking it.
Believe Trump was sincere and had good intentions before being president to get rid of government waste spending non-essential jobs, and then he found out how entrenched it is.
Sad state of affairs.
He’s grifting off the problem
Haha he had good intentions, fkn hell
Easy there pardner. Brain damage is brain damage.
Hard to see a con man shitting in your face, when your head has hit the reef/sand one too many times. I’m sure they had the best of intentions when they paddled for those waves.
I think I am going to take a page out of blowindonkeyballs book and just edit and repurpose my comments to keep it fresh.
You all can suck my nuts while I do my thang.
