Lunch Is on the House
Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a Futbol Club at Jaleo.
And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot—
because this time, its on us!
Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel.
We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

Well I’m shocked. Another cop using his power to manipulate and groom a sixth-grade girl, even planting a camera in the sixth-grade girls' bathroom. 🤢🤢🤢

I think we may have a cop problem and not a crime problem. If you're raping kids, you're lying about everything else. It's science

The shocking allegations detail a pattern of systematic grooming and coercion.

Girard's ideas are nonsense. His scholarship of ancient literature was pitifully Greco-Judeo-Roman, and failed to include research on the peaceful Canaanite and Egyptian traditions which inspired the Hebrew scapegoat concept.

It's just warmed-over, rebadged Nietzcheanism.

In September, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) refuted Kash Patel’s claim that no victims were trafficked, revealing the FBI holds names of at least 20 prominent men in the music industry, finance, politics, royalty, and banking which victims were trafficked to. #OpDeathEaters
