Chick-fil-A Dethrones In-N-Out as America’s Favorite Restaurant
Sorry, In-N-Out. America has a new favorite fast-food restaurant.
Chick-fil-A dethroned In-N-Out as America’s favorite fast-food chain according to Market Force’s annual “America’s favorite” survey. Market Force polled 7,600 U.S. consumers.
Chick-fil-A finished first in overall score among all fast-food restaurants. In-N-Out was No. 1 last year, according to Food and Wine, which published the survey.
Chick-fil-A also topped this year’s American Customer Satisfaction Index, which is another survey of Americans about their favorite restaurants.
But the news wasn’t all bad for In-N-Out. It remains America’s favorite burger chain, according to Market Force.
It’s been a good year for Chick-fil-A, which also became the No. 3 fast-food restaurant in the U.S. in sales.
The company’s official corporate purpose is “to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us and to have a positive influence on all who come into contact with Chick-fil-A.”
Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy said in 2012 the company operates on biblical values.
“We intend to stay the course,” Cathy told the Biblical Recorder. “We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles.”
The company’s policy of being closed on Sundays, he…

Trump Lists 4 Ways to Stop Mass Shootings: ‘America Will Rise to the Challenge’
President Trump on Monday condemned bigotry and white supremacy and listed four ways to stop mass shootings in the wake of tragedies in Texas and Ohio that left 29 people dead.
He also urged Democrats and Republicans to come together.
“I am open and ready to listen and discuss all ideas that will actually work and make a very big difference,” Trump said in a brief speech from the White House. “… Now is the time to set destructive partisanship aside – so destructive – and find the courage to answer hatred with unity, devotion and love. Our future is in our control. America will rise to the challenge. We always have and we always will.”
A gunman motivated by hatred of Hispanics killed 20 people and injured 26 in an El Paso, Texas Walmart Saturday. That same night, a different gunman killed nine and injured 27 outside a bar in Dayton, Ohio.
“The shooter in El Paso posted a manifesto online consumed by racist hate. In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy,” Trump said. “These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart and devours the soul.”
Trump listed four areas of action he said can stop mass shootings before they happen:
-
“First, we must do a better job of identifying and acting on early warning signs.”
“I am…

Christian Leaders on Mass Shootings: ‘Enough Is Enough’
As the nation reels in the light of the mass shootings that killed 20 in El Paso, Texas and 9 in Dayton, Ohio over the weekend, Christian leaders called out white supremacy, offered encouragement, and begged for change.
Several of Christian leaders spoke against white supremacy after it was revealed the El Paso shooter was racially motivated against immigrants and Hispanics in his attack.
Shane Claiborne, an author and activist, according to Relevant, tweeted several thoughts on the need for reform. Claiborne wrote, “2 mass shootings in 24 hours. 20 dead & 26 injured in El Paso, TX. 9 dead & 16 injured in Dayton, OH. Let us pray for all those affected… and then let’s honor their lives by taking action to end gun violence. Another America is possible.”
He continued, “Saying that it’s ‘not the right time’ to talk about gun control after a mass shooting… is like saying it’s not right to talk about train safety after a deadly train wreck. #ElPasoThis is exactly when we need to talk about it.”
Claiborne then shared several statistics on gun violence-related deaths in developed countries, noting that America has the highest number of gun-related deaths. “Of all the civilians killed by guns in developed countries, 86% are in the US. Of all the children killed in 23 developed countries, 87% are in the US. We have more gun homicides in the US than all the…
