It is often said and often true that we take what we have for granted in America. Few scenes will illustrate such as the video posted below. A Cuban visits an American grocery store for the first time. To say he is overwhelmed is an understatement. Watch out for the onions while watching.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

This is the model Bernie and AOC view as a dream. I really don’t get it...Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, Venezuela Russia, which socialist country has ever worked?
Yes but in Cuba you know that there are no Bezos or Gates holding the majority of the wealth. In Cuba there is justice and poverty for all. You can eat your sardines and crackers in solidarity with your comrades. It's only food.
I guess its a matter of who benefits in socialist areas.
The leaders tend to do quite well.
I just don't understand the lambs who support them, who are willingly marching to slaughter.
All for a little bit of social justice warrior credibility.
I hope its worth it, kids.
to 2:25..............the wealth in cuba is held by the stinking cuban communist party, all of whom should be lined up and shot or maybe hung like saddam hussain was.
ill never understand why this county could spend 10 years, billions of dollars , and thousands of lives, to go screw around with iraq, when a murderous communist regime exits right on the doorstep of this country.
Wait until he discovers Little Debbie products...he'll forget the apples and fruit.
The ruling class in a commie state always does well - that's their intention. In commie countries the well stocked grocery stores are for the party members only, not the unwashed masses. Party members like pelosi, harris, schumer, biden, etc. They also get their own dedicated traffic lane, and dachas in the country.
But this stuff isn't taught in the critical race theory public schools.
And what's funny is that this "paradise" is an Aldi's. Bare bones store. The opposite of our pretentious Whole Paychecks. To him, it's ultraluxe. Saw it in Nicaragua, as Cuba and the Soviet Union tried to bring the paradise to Latin America. Now, they just use Bernie and AOC and "the Squad."
It might be a good life experience if Gates, Bezos, Booty-Judge (along with A.O.C and her "squad ") shop at a Venezuelan style grocery for a few months.
I didn't include Prez Uncle Joe as I doubt he would know if he was in
Venezuela or at the Gluckstadt exit on I-55.
Just 35 years ago, Russians arriving in the US would go to the store to buy a toothbrush, and stand there totally confused. There were so many brands and types that they could not make a decision. They had never had a choice. And the young bucks who think we want to go that route are so, so naive.
Democrat answer to solving all the worlds problems! Throw more money at the problem! LOL
3:53 Cuba is not likely to destabilize an oil producing region ;)
The catch to all of our food surplus is that most of it is GMO poison because high yields, profits, and quantity over quality are the goals of American agricorps. What is even more maddening is that the profits are privatized and the losses subsidized by the taxpayer. And lets not even get into the health costs of diabetes, heart disease, low testosterone; and numerous negative health effects of consumption.
Americans are so absolutely ignorant to believe this hokey propaganda. Cubans can travel to other countries. They have seen grocery stores in Mexico, Canada, Spain, Vietnam, and China. Hell, just watch youtube videos about North Korean grocery stores. Yes there are foreigners living in Havana and Pyongyang.
You ignorant buffoons reminiscing about the Cold War don't even realize that Cubans have access to Chinese made toothbrushes just like we do.
Get a grip people.
@5:55 - Our family had several Russian exchange students live with us back in the 1980s. Our stores and choice selections were overwhelming to them. I took one girl to the mall to buy her some American clothing and she burst into tears when she saw all the different styles of blue jeans. Another one kept walking up and down the cereal aisle just staring at the boxes.
We also sponsored some Russian businessmen who were attending some seminar or classes at JSU for several weeks. I took them for walk across our land to the big lake in the woods. They couldn't grasp the concept that our family owns all that land and the lake, that the police cannot come to our land unless they have a warrant or good cause, that no one else can come to our land unless we give permission. The concept of private ownership was very hard for them to grasp.
@5:37
Yes, during the cold war the US and their allies had numerous trade embargoes against the Soviet Union and her allies. This prevented them from having access to a lot of imported goods.
Those jeans and clothes you boast about were made somewhere outside the USA. In the 1980s and early 1990s clothes for Americans were usually made in the Philippines under the Marcos Dictatorship. Do you know anything about Ferdinand Marcos? About Pinochet? Of course you don’t because you are an ugly, ignorant American.
I grew up in Australia. While we had many visitors and tourists from the Soviet States, none ever reacted to our quantity of consumer goods the way you Yanks describe. It sounds like you all believe the fictional propaganda film Moscow on the Hudson was a documentary. In typical yank fashion, you can’t separate movie characters from reality. Consumerism is only a culture in this mentally ill nation. No matter how hard you Yanks try to export it.
None of the above can be posted in four years if we allow the democrats to stay in control.
"Waiting in line for food is a good thing!" Sen Bernie Sanders
5:37 AM,
I wonder why those completely real and totally not fictitious businessmen didn’t tell you about their traditional family Dachas?
to 9:18.....the middle east as been ''destabilized ''for the past five thousand years.
W bush launched his iraq 'war' in order to run up oil prices as high as possible. by 2007 prices had reached about 165$ a barrel.
i do realize the people on this site have very short memories, but the bush family fortune and business is oil. the bush family pumps it out of the ground and sells it. and the higher the price the more money they made.
i do realize that art early imitates life, but W must have watched those episodes of dallas in the 1980s ,where JR started a war in the middle east to boost prices.
I'm scared this may be a reality for the US in the next 20-30 years.
More Bubba pandering to his base by the host. Would have thought at least a regular commenter builder, or maybe a car dealer had been to Cuba in the past 10 years.
I don't get the Gates/Bezos hate. Sure you may not like them, or what they believe in, but imagine the audacity for someone to think they can tell someone how much wealth they can have. Truly amazing times we are living in.
https://blog.chron.com/thetexican/2014/04/when-boris-yeltsin-went-grocery-shopping-in-clear-lake/#photo-433896
is a link for when Boris Yeltsin visited the grocery store outside of Houston back in 1989'ish. Pretty cool.
You are the stupid ones, 10:12, 6:46, who don't understand that the cutoff of Soviet aid long ago as well as the realities of a fool's economy have made things WORSE in Cuba than ever before. Trump's sanctions and the complete dropoff in tourism during the pandemic have devastated Cuba even more. Folks are fed up with shortages.
Here's a "ignorant" American news media excerpt: "And that's not just wishful thinking. Even as the island nation faces a devastating economic crisis, with people lining up for basic food necessities, scientists are developing multiple vaccine candidates. "
Complete with photos of food lines. They aren't just short of your fave toilet paper, they are short of the very necessities in food.
The source? Oh, that "right wing" NPR.
We know a lot more about Latin socialism and governments than you'll ever know. And Cuba is and has been a wreck forever.
You wanna know how bad things are in the world today? There is undeniable evidence of what has to be be real UFO's in the Pacific and no one give a S&%t.
"Vidal used to work for the Central Bank of Cuba before emigrating to Colombia ten years ago. He says Cuba's often-troubled economy is right now facing serious shortages of many consumer goods including food, cleaning products and even medicines. Vidal says ordinary Cubans spend much of their day queuing in lines for basic necessities and searching for chicken meat. "

Facts from March 2021, 6:46, 10:12.
8:31 short memories? I was referring to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
That's right, if you ain't got what it takes to start your own blog, attack the man who does. If you ain't anything else, Goober, you are persistent.
@9:15AM
Pearl, Flowood, Jackson, and Madison all had shortages in 2020. In 2021 there are still shortages and supply chain disruptions. Imagine how much harder it is when your nation is under embargo.
Hmm..... you mean Cuba can get food ONLY from the U.S. and not other countries?
@9:13
Bob Lazar told the nation 35 years ago.
Commander Fravor has been telling anyone who will listen about his encounter while flying an F18 for more than 15 years.
Mexican Journalist Jamie Maussan has been telling the world since 1991.
Maybe the only thing that will unify this divided nation is a hostile ET invasion.
@Kingfish,
No, but nations that want to do business with the USA submit to our hegemony and our embargoes. Because if they do not then they lose access to our markets. Don’t you know this stuff? Aren’t you Mississippi’s greatest blogger journalist?
When taking an International Ballet Competition judge from Tel Aviv to the grocery in 1986, she said to me, "one of my greatest pleasures in life is walking through one of your supermarkets"..she's from a modern country and has traveled the world..and said that about something we take for granted.
Many foreigners also used to see their first morbidly obese person when they visited America.
Do schools not teach anything about communism and socialism? It’s amazing how many comments I see where the author obviously couldn’t provide even a basic definition of either.
@12:59
The need to teach it. And they need to point out that the USA is the most successful socialist country on the planet since FDRs New Deal. The suckers that are paying for everything (working class) shoot themselves in both feet while they clamor to defend the rich who do everything within their power (remember the Panama papers?) to keep from paying their fair share.
1:58,
You forgot to include that the rich have brilliantly convinced the working class suckers that the poor are to blame and not the rich themselves. This is despite investment firms and banks have received more socialism in the form of bailouts since 2008, than what poor people have received in EBT and Section 8 housing since 2008.
2:54 PM, a card-carrying commie hater here.
But - you are correct in pointing out the extreme socialism injustice of the 2008 bailouts.
And - you forgot to mention the extreme socialism injustice of the 2020 Payroll Protection Program (PPP) to business owners enjoying record profits i.e. didn’t even need, much less deserve said government socialism
(it has been estimated that 50% of PPP funds were wasted on business owners that didn’t suffer a decrease of income/profits, but ended up winning a government socialism windfall lottery without even having to buy a ticket).
But, not a word from the so-called Socialist's that proclaim their hate for Millionaires and Billionaires;
nor from the so-called Republicans claiming to be “Fiscal Conservatives.”
I could go on (specifically about Gates, Buffet, Bezos, et al) but the Master Censor KF (that makes Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg look like 1st Amendment Free Speech advocates) will not allow too much truth on this site; maybe because it decreases clicks.
