These two dine and dashers at a Panama City Beach, Florida restaurant made a critical error after their dinner. In a hurry to escape the bill, they forgot to grab her purse. In a video posted by TikTok user @missyp711 you can see as the couple returned to the restaurant, demanding her purse, while the man desperately tries to calm her. The incident reportedly went down at a Longhorn Steakhouse in Panama City Beach. You can hear the hostess announcing a party of 14 that their table is ready, but the person recording the incident put off dinner until this scene played out with a “can I wait a minute?” Lucky for us.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.

People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds.
