The Website for South Phillys Morning Glory Diner Now Goes to Donald Trumps Website

Sams Morning Glory Diner in the Bella Vista section of South Philadelphia is not your typical diner. While most businesses tend to stay away from politics, the walls and facade of Morning Glory Diner have, for years, proudly displayed anti-gun and anti-Donald Trump messaging. If we were in Arkansas, we probably wouldn’t have windows by now, Morning Glory Diner owner Carol Mickey once told us. Well, the windows may have remained intact, but some MAGA pranksters sought revenge in a more 21st-century way.

If you try to go to the website for the Morning Glory Diner listed in many news articles and on the Morning Glorys Facebook page, you won’t get pretty pictures of the restaurants delicious frittatas, bananas foster French toast, or soft pancakes, known here as glory cakes. . Instead, this is what you get:

Yes, the Morning Glory website is now redirecting to the online headquarters of Donald J. Trump, the last website to announce the Official 2024 Presidential Founder, whatever that means.

They hacked my website and changed all the login information and contact information, Mickey explained, saying he wasn’t sure when it happened. And I have no idea how to get it back. I guess I just have to start all over.

I asked Mickey if the website hijacking bothers him, more than the way it might affect his business.

Its just nice to know they are out there thinking about me, she jests.

Any kind of hacker out there that can help him?

South Philly Letter-Writer Gets Huge Response

On Thursday, I told you about Jean Merritt, the South Philly woman who would send a handwritten letter to anyone who asked for it. All you have to do is email him your mailing address and a little about yourself. Well, since our story came out Thursday afternoon, Merritt has been inundated with requests, and they just keep coming.

So I’m sorry. He will come to you. And it’s not on some first-come, first-served basis.

Im answering the most compelling requests first, she tells me.

Thanks to AI, you can. Quite a bit.

Talk about an exciting Super Bowl

Jason Kelces very pregnant wife is not watching the Super Bowl at home. Shell is at the game, and she brings her OB/GYN just in case. She is at 38 weeks. Anything can happen. So if the baby is born at the Super Bowl, what’s the name?

Speaking of the Kelces

Travis Kelce, who will play in the Super Bowl against his brother, seems to know the Curse of the Rocky Statue very well:
