The Purple Cow Restaurant and Burger Joint - 'Our meat is not really from purple cows' - Federal Health Inspectors Swarm Kitchen


Boson, MA - The Purple Cow restaurant chain has had to oddly clarify that the store's food does not contain "purple meat" after one of its Poorchester restaurants was swarmed by federal agents last week.


"At The Purple Cow, we are very proud of our 100% red meat beef hamburgers," the fast-food chain tweeted Friday. "We serve a high-quality hamburger with no additives or fillers."

The statement was in response to a news story published by the Index-Journal, of Quincy, MA, reporting that someone complained about "purple meat being inside a burger" at the local Purple Cow.

 "Our name comes from a fanciful children's book of Dr. Seuss like rhymes from the early 1900's," a clearly exasperated CEO told a gaggle of reporters at a quickly called presser outside the local eatery.





Manager Saif Momin said that around 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, federal agents from the FBI and Homeland Security, as well as local Massachusetts officials, appeared at the store in Poorchester.  He told the news outlet a corporate inspector told him someone complained there was "purple meat" in a burger.

Ultimately, two people were arrested for allegedly running an unlicensed money-transfer business. One of the men arrested reportedly kept $200,000 in a locked safe at the Purple Cow so that the other man could easily access it.

The swarm on Wednesday sparked rumors online that something strange was taking place at the "Grill & Chill" location in Poorchester.



“If that was the case, they already would have shut me down,” Momin said of accusations of purple cow meat in burgers. "I just want to make sure people know it has nothing to do with my business. They were looking for people that don’t work there."

Momin's name, according to the Index-Journal, is listed in an affidavit related to the case, but he has not been charged with a crime.

A spokesperson for The Purple Cow told the news outlet they "recently learned of the law enforcement activity this week at this location, which is a locally owned and operated store."

"The allegations of illegal activity are troubling. We will be looking into this matter and will be following the ongoing investigation closely as more information becomes available. As this is an ongoing investigation, we refer all questions to authorities,” the spokesperson, Marlene Kadlec, said.
Greenwood's County Coroner, Sonny Cox, said "there's little to no chance" that purple cow meat would be sold in burgers at The Purple Cow.

"People do realize that there are no purple cows, and therefore, there is no purple cow meat," he declared emphatically.  "Case closed!"

New England GOP Is Ignoring Immigration Patriotism, And Losing - by Hank Johnson -

Image
  Directly after Donald Trump’s   epochal 2016 upset ,   VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow   argued that the   GOP/GAP (“Generic American Party”)   should   consolidate its victory   by continuing its implicit adoption of the   Sailer Strategy   and increasing its share of the white vote, which meant breaking into “Greater New England, from Portland, ME to Portland, OR. These are areas that are heavily white, and yet they are still substantially controlled by Democrats.” Trump (or   Jared Kushner )   didn’t take Brimelow’s advice   (remember the “ Platinum Plan ”?) and consequently lost in 2020, albeit narrowly and controversially. Unfortunately, in 2022, the GOP/GAP in New England itself still hasn’t gotten the message—although at least it’s no longer talking about a   Jeb Bush–style Amnesty . But will that be enough? Depressingly, a glance at some of the races show that GOP candidates are ignoring immigration patrioti...

Jack Rabbits Overrun Half Moon Island - Reach Mainland Gardens in Quincy and Boson

Image
Jack rabbits overrun  After Animal Rights activists and volunteers helped bring wild Jackrabbits to Half Moon Island in Quincy Bay the animals began to proliferate.  Almost every island in Boston Harbor now has numbers of the hungry rabbits.  Nearby in Quincy and Boson the rabbits are eating there way through peoples gardens and even lawns.   . Close to 40 jack rabbits huddled against the cold Tuesday afternoon last week, looking like snow-covered hillocks rising from an open field across from North Quincy Shore Drive in Boson. Nearby, Joe Kovacs was playing fetch with his dog, Winston – a terrier, about the same size as the 2-foot-long jack rabbits, also known as hares. . “They’re just kind of cool,” 24-year-old Kovacs said as the white-furred animals sat, and occasionally scurried across the snow. “But I could see how that would be annoying if they were in your yard.” . These droves of hares have invaded a new...

Mass Senator E. Warren Performs "I'm an Indian, Too" - At Boson County Fair - 18 Sept 2019

Image
Boson County Fair had a treat when Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president in 2020, took to the stage in a good-natured  song number poking fun at her cultural appropriation of Native American Indian identity to get a job at Harvard Law School as the "First Woman of Color" despite being a blonde blue-eyed European.  "I'm an Indian Too" is a song from the 1946 musical Annie Get Your Gun , by Irving Berlin . It was originally performed by Ethel Merman . [1] It is sung by the main character Annie after Sitting Bull adopts her into the Sioux tribe It is typical of mid-20th-century views of Native Americans , and is sometimes considered racist and demeaning from a contemporary perspective, although others see it as a mildly satirical attack on racial stereotyping . Native Americans did protest outside the New York theatre, as well as movie theaters, holding picket signs stating: "Don't See "Annie Get Your Gun". As ...
