Guess I should have asked what I was picking up when I said I’d bring the customers vehicle back 30 mins away to the store for tires…

Bagel popeye with a twist, normally I make these with a plain or savory bagel and pepper jack but last time I made these I only had blueberry bagels and cheddar, turns out the sweet and savory mix is a surprisingly pleasant taste, not what you'd expect. This is the redux version.
🤯 Yes! I'm going to copy this. Ro loves egg in a basket. She could possibly backflip over this and I want to see that.

As is typical, we may not have enough information to accurately assess what we see on the surface.From the article by PBS;
"Ahead of ABC’s suspension, broadcasters Nexstar and Sinclair had said they would be pulling Kimmel’s show from their affiliated stations. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr had also warned that the network and its local affiliates could face repercussions if Kimmel was not punished."A possible backstory: Nextar and Sinclair had some kind of merger deal in place worth billions that needed FCC approval. The FCC chairman says behind the curtain, "You get rid of Kimmel, and we'll get your deal done." CBS (and/or whoever stood to profit from the merger thing says, "Why not? The show's ratings are down, and we're losing money on it." And the White House gets to puff out its chest and tell its base, "Look at us! We have the power to squelch Lefties!".
I have no idea what actually happened, but the extenuating circumstances tell me it wasn't as cut and dried as it looks.
So the head of the FCC, Brendan Carr, appointed by Trump, was trying to cancel Kimmel for a while now?
