Aside from her love for cooking, Paulette Johnson, an entrepreneur and the owner of Trucker’s Café, also loves helping people. Her café has been known not only for its “biggest mother truckin’ burger” but mostly because it closes its doors every Monday to serve the homeless.

Mondays are usually a busy day for restaurants with lots of customers coming in and out. But Paulette Johnson shuts down her restaurant every Monday to serve a different clientele – and they will not have to pay.

Truckers Café, located at 1910 Martin Luther King Blvd. in South Dallas, Texas is closed once a week to accommodate the homeless and those in need of a hot meal. Besides that, Johnson also provides them clean clothes, shoes, and toiletries. “I just feel blessed that somebody is out here to care for people like us,” Barbara Jameson smilingly said despite the hardships that led her to Johnson’s Monday lunch.

Having grown up in a battered woman’s shelter, Johnson understands what it’s like to go without. “My heart just flooded, there’s no word, I just feel good,” Johnson said. “I been aching all day in the morning, feet everything, dealing with my health, but once I see these guys, all that goes away.” Kudos to this sister for her giving heart. If you’re in the Dallas area, support her restaurant! (via BlackBusiness.org)

if you are 13 and there is a 17/18 year old showing interest in you: please run away and never look back. i understand that you feel special; that older person will tell you how mature you are and make you feel special. but please. run away from that person. stay away from them. they do not love you. an 18 year old should not have ANY interest in a 13 year old. please. please be safe. please do not let them manipulate you. they are dangerous. stay away from them

please reblog this post. please spread this message. please protect 13 year olds who can so easily be hurt.

wilwheaton:

“Here is the uncomfortable truth of the matter: The press’s truth-seeking actually is dividing people, and it is the very reason for this that makes what happened such a dangerously blown opportunity. The Trump White House’s unprecedented lying and Trump’s nonstop assaults on the press are, at bottom, an effort to get the news media to be more tentative in calling out those lies and in holding Trump accountable than they otherwise might be. (One conservative said this outright on CNN today.) As Jay Rosen and Brian Beutler write, the larger goal here is to destroy the press’s institutional role as a mediating institution. And if that fails, the corollary mission is to at least destroy that role in the minds of Republicans. This might be working: Majorities of Republicans agree with Trump that the press is the “enemy of the people.””

After Michelle Wolf’s WHCD speech, the news media hands Trump a win
