Make French Fries Great Again

If Trump can take small steps toward making our food real again, Americans will be able to have their French fries and eat them too.

Angry customer opens fire on McDonald's worker after argument over french fries: Police



A dispute over french fries resulted in gunfire at a McDonald's in St. Louis County, Missouri, last week, authorities said.

What happened?

Terika Clay, 30, was arrested and charged Thursday with first-degree assault and armed criminal action after she reacted to an argument over the salty snack by opening fire on an employee, according to the Associated Press.

Clay allegedly got into a shouting match with a McDonald's employee while receiving her order in the drive-through lane of the restaurant in Normandy, Missouri, last Wednesday.

Then, following the argument, she returned to the store while the employee was on a smoke break and struck the employee in the head with a gun before shooting her in the chest.

Normandy detectives said in a probable cause statement that Clay was moved to violence after she did not receive a discount on her order of french fries.

In a news report following the incident, KTVI-TV cited an anonymous employee in reporting that Clay may also have been upset that her fries were not hot enough.

The shooting was reportedly captured on surveillance video, which detectives used to identify and locate Clay before her arrest. The video, however, has not been released to the public.

What else?

Details about the victim's medical status were sparse at the time this report was published. But KTVI reported that she only suffered a superficial wound and has since been released from the hospital.

The outlet added that Clay is being held on a cash-only bond of $150,000. She reportedly has a bond reduction hearing set for sometime this week.

It was not immediately clear whether Clay had made bail as of Tuesday afternoon. But a judge said last week that if Clay is released, she must stay out of contact with the victim and other employees at the McDonald's and she also must stay at least 1,000 feet away from the restaurant.

TheBlaze reached out to the Normandy Police Department and the St. Louis County prosecutor's office for more details about the incident but did not hear back before publication.

Google reveals what Americans sought near them on Election Day: french fries and liquor were top choices



While Americans eagerly awaited the results of the election to roll out on Tuesday, Google says that they sought out french fries and liquor to cope with the stress.

The search results were reported by Google Trends via their official social media account on Tuesday.

Google Trends reported that "fries near me" and "liquor stores near me" were at all time highs on election day.

They went on to document the foods that were most in demand while Americans waited to find out who would lead the most powerful country in the world.

Pizza, Chinese food, Sushi, and Mexican food were highly sought, and liquor showed up again in the searches.

People also searched on Google for explanations of common election terms, including "projected winner," "too early to call," "incumbent," and "electoral vote."

Among those foreign countries where people showed the most interest in the U.S. election, Cuba topped the list, Germany coming in second, and Ethiopia, Iran, and Ghana, in the top five.

Election night dragged on into late Tuesday as confusing and conflicting reports of vote tallies came in from different states. Early Wednesday morning the president announced that he had won big but that Democrats were trying to steal the election, while Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said that he expected to win after the official count was completed.

"I'm here to tell you tonight, I believe we're on track to win this election," Biden said in Delaware.

"We knew, because of the unprecedented early vote and the mail-in vote that it was going to take awhile," he added. "We're going to have to be patient until the hard work of tallying votes is finished — and it ain't over until every vote is counted, every ballot is counted."
