**Resolution in Support of Duke's Mayonnaise and Its North Carolina Heritage**
**WHEREAS**, Duke's Mayonnaise, a beloved condiment with roots deeply embedded in North Carolina, has been a symbol of Southern culinary tradition for generations; and
**WHEREAS**, the unique taste and quality of Duke's Mayonnaise are cherished by Southerners and food enthusiasts nationwide, contributing significantly to the cultural and economic fabric of North Carolina; and
**WHEREAS**, the potential sale or transfer of Duke's Mayonnaise to entities or individuals from the Northern United States, colloquially known as "Yankees," could result in changes to its traditional recipe, manufacturing process, or brand identity, thereby eroding a piece of Southern heritage; and
**WHEREAS**, such a transfer could be seen not only as a loss of culinary tradition but also as a threat to the economic stability and cultural identity of the communities that have supported Duke's for decades;
**THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED**, that we, the undersigned, firmly oppose any sale or transfer of Duke's Mayonnaise to individuals, groups, or companies from the Northern United States or any entity considered a "Yankee" in cultural terms;
**BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED**, that we formally request the incoming President of the United States to recognize the potential sale of Duke's Mayonnaise to out-of-state, particularly Northern, interests as a matter of national security concern, given its significance to Southern identity and local economy;
**BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED**, that action be taken to ensure Duke's Mayonnaise remains under Southern ownership, made in North Carolina, preserving its traditional recipe and cultural significance;
**BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED**, that copies of this resolution be sent to the Governor of North Carolina, the state's Congressional delegation, and the leadership of the incoming administration to underscore the urgency and importance of this issue.
**ADOPTED**, this 6th day of January, 2025.
Signed,
North Carolinians & Southerners EVERYWHERE
Crazy weather here in central FL too. 43 degrees outside right now at 0504 and I’m about to head out for a workout. Feels like 36! Pray for us.It is raining on the hillside here in Anchorage today. Weird weather for sure. Very little snow fall, worst skiing at Alyeska in forever. Had single digits over the weekend and now high 30's today. Wild wild stuff. SKOL!
I read this AM that Trump cannot reverse the EO on offshore drilling due to clause 12(a) of the original law. Trump tried to reverse Obama's EO in Alaska and a federal judge ruled against Trump. It will take a new law from Congress and a way to avoid a Senate filibuster. Perhaps Thune can vote to eliminate the filibuster but likely won't or can't get the votes.He needs to skip over all the shithead Obama and Biden judges/courts and take it to SCOTUS and declare it a national emergency, and it should be stayed.
FJB
He could also say that Mother Fucker doesn't even know what planet he is on, much less about drilling rights. LOL
Male vs female wrestling.... I'd turn up.
