"Why they chose this baker" is an extremely powerful point that deserves to be emphasized in every one of these disputes! It's not about "rights", which is a meaningless concept. It's about DESTROYING civilization, and the destroyers pick their targets CAREFULLY.

The baker worked at a Publix grocery store. Publix is the biggest or close to the biggest grocery chain in Florida. My guess is this was the beginning of a larger push aimed at Publix. Perhaps more is to come.

Wow, the Colonialtown Publix is in downtown Orlando - the belly of the gay mafia beast. It was my neighborhood store for several years and I remember many of the friendly employees in the bakery. That was remarkably brave of them to stand up for their beliefs in such a hostile environment. Publix had better back them up if they know what’s good for them.

I feel you are correct and this is a new front in beat De Santis morality war.

Big mistake doing it there. I sense the acts of desperation are upon us from our wokey brethren.

There are lots of grocery stores here in Florida. I seldom shop there as it is. It won’t take much to avoid it altogether.

But Publix is the best! One of the main reasons I miss leaving Florida for Texas.

I wouldn't say it's about "destroying" civilization, but it's about socially sanctioned bullying. These people are the mean kids from high school who have gotten a taste of power.

Woke is the 'Kobayashi Maru' from Star Trek. A test for starship pilots training, of the 'no win' scenario. We can't beat woke, because it's a game. A game, where in reality, you can change the rules at will.

This very dangerous game, is a diversion from our reality. This game, is used to take one's attention away from the true destruction, that is the very fabric, of the normal instinctive way, humans survive in the real world. Woke ideology is the driving force to take our eye off the ball.

In sports, when a player fakes out his defender, in order to score whatever point, he's attempting, woke is that fake, win or lose, the fake works, and the player scores.

Victories from boycotts are good for moral, but it doesn't stop these pyscho killers from destroying our way of life. It doesn't even slow them down.

Have you seen these leftists? They were insignificant in high school and probably the victim of bullying. Now they are extracting their revenge now that they have the power and/or the safery in numbers

The rapper Tom MacDonald put it best when he responded to Bud Light's whining that it was only one can they sent to one person by saying that Bud Light never put his mother's face on a can, nor Rosa Parks nor Mother Teresa, etc.

And BTW, as boycotting and donating go, I recommend NEVER DONATING to any cause on GoFundMe which shuts down anything remotely conservative or liberty-minded (such as the Canadian truckers) and ONLY patronize GiveSendGo donation efforts. My 'tip' for the day.

Behind this whole “woke agenda” lies a much more sinister movement: ESG, and the Global Warming cabal.

ESG is a huge existential threat to the world, not even just this country. What is it?

“ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is a framework used to assess an organization's business practices and performance on various sustainability and ethical issues.”

And once you’ve been assessed, and how you stack up according to their environmental and social standards will determine whether you can get a loan to continue doing business. In short, it is extortion on a worldwide scale.

It is also the gateway to a “social credit system” to be applied to every single person on the planet, which will determine whether YOU can buy or sell, and what you can buy or sell, depending upon your social credit score.

A boycott of Bud Light, or this or that product may be effective in getting companies to rethink their packaging, but it does not undo what lurks beneath and is forcing these businesses to comply with the Left’s agenda, willingly or unwillingly.

It is ESG that is the enemy and should be the real target. Until it is utterly vanquished it is one of the greatest threats to freedom and Liberty because the government and banks are in cohoots holding the purse strings to enable businesses- and eventually, each of us to survive. ESG is the enemy.

This is a great comment on why Bud Light and other corporations are going in these nutty directions. They are trying to earn points with the folks running the world. It's not just the corporate sector either. Banks, media, academia, etc. are all in on the action.

It’s not just “points”, though being “in” with the cool kids is enough for some. It’s being able fund your business. Banks will withhold loans, or flat out refuse to do business with you. You won’t be able to trade in the stock market because your company has been black-listed. They can - and will - put companies out of business.

When it gets down to the individual- which is the next step (CBDC’s), they will not only withhold money from you for not buying “the right things”, but they will also incur penalties for your “wrong think”, and even be able to shut you off from your own funds, or confiscate them wholly. In short, they will own you.

THAT is what they’re doing to these companies now, and we’re next.

hummm, that sounds like what the CCP does. Guess since it's worked so well for them, it's ready to be spread around the world, just like Covid!

Yes, agreed. I used the terms points because they do keep score on your activities to determine your fate. It's to control all aspects of our lives and Cookie is correct that this closely resembles the Communist Chinese model. Klaus Schwab and the WEF are behind this whole operation.

A dispensational-believing Christian might say that ESG is one feature, forbidding people without the “mark of the beast” to buy or sell, of the Great Tribulation as they interpret the Book of Revelation.

Today's blog post imo lays out precisely why the Daniel Penny (the Marine on the NYC subway who protected other passengers from an alleged nut job who the leftist govt kept returning to the streets, almost as if they WANTED an outcome like they got) fund has topped $2.6M and growing. It is not necessarily because everyone believes him to be innocent but because NORMAL PEOPLE want our Constitution back along with our Rights like the PRESUMPTION of INNOCENCE -- EVEN IF YOU ARE WHITE.

Just say 'no' to the 'New Normal' and 'yes' to the old fashioned sanity.

Here's the link to the GiveSendGo fund if you want to make your voice heard with a buck or two. I view it as a political statement at this point: https://www.givesendgo.COM/daniel_penny?s=01

A country that the majority of the citizens do not believe in God is doomed. The woke issues are just part of the bread and circuses for the masses. It’s a distraction. The real question is: why are there 500 military aged Chinese men crossing the southern border each week? The Chinese do not believe in DEI. They believe in DIE.

I will make a couple of brief comments. As far as today's article goes, never forget the saying "Those who forget their past are bound to repeat it." What does the pro-homosexual, pro-child molester, D I E left want to do with all the children and young adults out there ?? Forget the horrors of Stalin, Hitler, socialism and liberalism go, the left want the young to hang themselves (Courtesy of TicToc) rather than fight for the very country, MY Country that God Himself created.

As far as today's polls go, CNN primarily has a pro-homosexual lineup. Getting rid of Brian Stelter and Don Lemon was a good start, but nowhere near enough since it was management level decision to even hire them. Most of the same management team is still in place along with the stupid ass Anderson Cooper. Yes, CNN made a smart business move in bringing a Trump town hall to the network, but can anyone name any other "Smart Business Move" that CNN has done in the last 20 years?

I think the Bud Light boycott was so strong because, whether they can articulate it or not, people find Dylan Mulvaney a particularly insulting example of his species, which is men who aren't really "trans." They don't really want to be women. They just want the label so they can grift. Lia Thomas is just like this, only his grift is winning competitions.

I was just thinking about CNN as I read your suggestions. The best thing CNN could do is go dark for about a month, get rid of all its so-called talent (wholesale firing), and then come back with a format more like Breaking Points or The Hill's Rising if they can't find people to do just straight news. And in the evening, they could get a mix of takes. And, yes, hiring Tucker Carlson and giving him free rein might be the smartest move they ever made.

According to the crybullies, men aren’t supposed to buy beer because of “exploitative” ad images of good looking women in bikinis having fun , but we’re gonna do it because of images of ridiculous looking fake female drag queens making a political statement? LMAO. The “logic” is astounding. We are exploiting the girl in the bikini which is unfair to women, but a guy pretending to be a woman isn’t? Right.... Who’s getting exploited, anyway? The guy is the one shelling out for the watery bad beer. The bikini model is getting paid, probably rather well. I like women in bikinis, real women.

I’m a free markets guy. We don’t have that in the USA. The government picks winners and losers more and more. That’s why these corporate simps are kissing woke ass. They don’t care about trannies. They don’t care about feminism. They don’t care about brown and black people, any more than the phony politicians on the Left do. They care about making money and being on the politically correct side when the thought police hand out the cookies and the beatings. They see the trends and respond to them. But they got it wrong. Americans, unlike most Europeans, don’t like being bullied. We don’t like having astroturf Marxist gender dysphoria ideology crammed down our throats with our cornflakes or our beer. We don’t like the fake neologisms to obfuscate and confuse. It’s all a lie. It’s all a trick to distract us while they tear down civilization. And replace it with what? What exactly is on offer? Drag queens and insect burgers? No cars. Digital money they can turn off on a whim? Fentanyl and terrorists coming over the border? Thieves at every Level of the government? Billionaire athletes who have their own jets and six homes lecturing middle class fans about how racist and unfair they are?

No thanks. Woke sucks and the sooner we say no to ALL these clowns, the better.
