CHANGE: Cracker Barrel loses almost $100 million in value as stock plunges after new logo release.
Wall Street’s reaction to the logo redesign comes as Cracker Barrel has been working to refresh its image through new menu items and redecorated stores that eschew the 55-year-old chain’s old-timey approach in favor of a more modern look.
According to the company’s website, the man and barrel in the old logo represented “the old country store experience where folks would gather around and share stories.”
It’s unusual for a company’s share price to plunge dramatically due to a logo redesign, although marketing missteps can cause investors to question a company’ strategy. Cracker Barrel’s overhaul has been overseen by CEO Julie Felss Masino, who last year described the chain as “not as relevant as we once were,” and announced plans to update its down-home menu.
I’m not a customer, so the change doesn’t affect me — but I’m certainly enjoying the memes.

MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS REVOKE MAYORAL ENDORSEMENT FOR SELF-PROCLAIMED SOCIALIST OMAR FATEH:
Although Fateh received 328 votes and Frey 227 votes, a review found that 176 votes were not counted due to an electronic voting system failure. Fateh won by a show-of-hands vote.
“What should’ve been an orderly, fair and transparent endorsement process instead became a textbook example of systematic dysfunction. One that disenfranchised members of our party, broke our own rules, and undermined trust both inside and outside the convention hall,” said one challenger, former DFL chair Mike Erlandson.
“According to the Minneapolis DFL’s respondents own brief, 176 votes were incorrectly not counted. If they had been, a third candidate, DeWayne Davis, would’ve been eligible for the second mayoral ballot. Because these errors were never corrected, everything that followed was likewise flawed,” Erlandson added.
Some DFL officials disagree that the outcome would have changed if the votes were counted.
“To say a violation has occurred is not enough to overturn an endorsement. To overturn an endorsement requires clear and convincing evidence that the violation was so significant that it would have materially changed the outcome,” co-chair of the Minneapolis DFL City Convention Dan Thomas-Commins said last week.
Fateh has been compared to New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani as an equally anti-Israel, far-left socialist. The Minnesota Senate’s first Somali and Muslim member, Fateh promised to raise the minimum wage to $20 per hour, ban new charter schools, and push to implement an income tax if elected mayor.
He who votes does not have power. He who counts the votes has power, to coin a phrase.

HIGHLY PLAUSIBLE: Boston News Anchor Sues, Says Station Discriminated Because She’s White.
DISPATCHES FROM THE MINISTRY OF LOVE: The Lucy Connolly scandal reveals the folly of policing hatred.
So Lucy Connolly has finally been released from prison, nine months into her 31-month sentence for ‘inciting racial hatred’ on X in the wake of last year’s Southport murders. Good. This childminder from Northampton should never have spent a day in prison, and even so will now serve out the rest of her sentence at home under as-yet-unkown release conditions. Now, we must ensure this authoritarian farce is never repeated.
Let’s start with the obvious. What Connolly tweeted on 29 July 2024, when the bodies of knifeman Axel Rudakubana’s three tiny victims were barely cold, was inexcusable. ‘Set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards for all I care’, she raged to her 9,000 followers. ‘While you’re at it, take the treacherous government and politicians with them… If that makes me racist, so be it.’Like so many others, Connolly was horrified by Southport – not least given that she had previously lost a child herself. Like so many others, she had seen the swirling online misinformation that the killer was a Muslim small-boats migrant. But startlingly few will have begun jabbering darkly online about burning human beings alive – albeit with that caveat, ‘for all I care’.
Was it ugly, bigoted, vile? Obviously. But should she have been locked up for it, held on remand, denied bail – twice? Should she have been handed down, what is believed to be, the longest prison sentence ever issued for a single social-media post – all after she had pleaded guilty, in the vain hope of getting home to her husband and daughter sooner? Obviously not. As a society, we continue to stub our toe on this crucial distinction, with disastrous consequences for all of our freedoms.

Connolly has accused Sir Keir Starmer of holding her as a political prisoner in her first interview following her release from jail.
Mrs Connolly, 42, a childminder from Northampton, said it was “bizarre” she had spent more than a year behind bars for posting a tweet inciting racial hatred in the wake of the Southport murders.
Mrs Connolly, a mother-of-two, explained she was “upset and angry beyond belief” and that a “red mist” had clouded her judgment. She accepted the post on X was not her “finest moment” but insisted she did not “advocate violence”.
In an exclusive interview with Allison Pearson, the Telegraph journalist who led the campaign for her release, Mrs Connolly also accused the police of being “dishonest” in allegedly misrepresenting her views on immigration and threatened to bring a legal claim against them.
Mrs Connolly was sentenced to 31 months in prison after pleading guilty to a post that wrongly suggested Axel Rudakubana, who murdered three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party in Southport, had been an illegal immigrant.
Mrs Connolly called for “mass deportation now”, adding: “Set fire to all the f—ing hotels full of the b——s for all I care… if that makes me racist so be it.” She removed the tweet after three hours but by that time it had been viewed by 310,000 people.

BIDEN’S WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN SAYS THEY SPOKE IN PERSON ONLY TWICE.
A White House spokesperson for President Joe Biden has testified that he only spoke to the then-chief executive in person twice, Republican Rep. James Comer told reporters Thursday.
Ian Sams, who testified in front of a House committee about the MAGA-led conspiracy surrounding an autopen Biden used to sign legislation and pardons, was a spokesman for the White House Counsel’s Office from mid-2022 to August 2024.
Sams was one of Biden’s staunchest defenders last year, combating claims that the former president displayed signs of significant cognitive decline in his final year in power.
Comer, of Kentucky, countered on Thursday that it would be difficult for Sams to know the actual state of Biden given their limited interaction.
“He communicated with Joe Biden two times,” Comer said, citing Sams’ testimony, which has not been made public. “He saw Joe Biden—talked to Joe Biden—two times, the entire stint as White House spokesperson, but yet he would, every day, tweet and issue statements from the podium of the White House.”
The lawmaker clarified in a statement to Fox News that Sams also spoke to Biden once over the phone and on a virtual call in another instance. That raises their total interactions to four — about one every six months.
Biden being unable or unwilling to communicate with his own spokesman is some “MAGA-led conspiracy” about autopen abuse how, exactly?
