Trump Effect

While not as good as Sartins, probably best around....Friday and Saturday evening at Mama Jacks in Kountze......All you can eat BBQ crabs, Fried Shrimp, Boiled Shrimp, Gumbo, Fried fish, deserts.......I think $39 dollars but worth it every once in a while.

I make up the homemade Fiesta blend in the recipe below, and use the Liquid Smoke soak. The soak is key to making them awesome! Cook them in small batches in my Butterball electric turkey fryer where I can control temp easier. They come out almost identical to Sartin’s.

Still a pain in the butt though. In my younger years, I’d make some Shrimphooley’s—grilled shrimp on top of grilled oysters with the lemon, butter, garlic, and Parmesan mix—on the hickory wood grill to snack on while I was cracking/cleaning crab. Full day adventure between shucking, peeling, cracking, drinking, & eating. Gave up drinking—except for ‘near beer’ now. So, not sure I’d enjoy the day as much. Grandkids might make it fun again though.

The original Sartin’s method is below if you ever get a hankering to try it yourself. Just remember to add the Liquid Smoke Hickory flavor.

What does this have to do with Trump? I guess I’m lost…

Okay. Here’s an actual Trump effect. Lower drug prices.

I’ll give credit to Trump for this but Biden did the same thing. Anytime big pharmaceutical cuts a deal, it benefits them.

7% of the electorate? 5,000 total votes. A historically Democratic stronghold that even voted for Harris?

Not sure that’s a major tell like the article tries to represent.

Of course. It keeps them out of tariff territory. I don’t care either way. If it lowers drug prices, it shouldn’t matter.

This isn’t D vs R. This is the buying public vs Big Pharma.

It’s a State Senator win.  In the grand scheme of scheme of things it doesn’t mean much!

The voting public is a large subset of the buying public. I ask sincerely, why aren’t they insisting on change?

Don’t understand your question. This is a positive change. Healthcare is probably the major issue right now. This helps lower costs regardless of which Party gets it done. This should make the voting and buying public happy. We’ll have to see if it has any effect on people’s feelings.
