A company in Wisconsin that produces glassware will be gifting all of its employees with handguns for Christmas to promote safety.

According to the Appleton Post-Crescent, shot glass-maker BenShot decided on the ironic gift to promote team building as well.

Co-owner Ben Wolfgram told the outlet that most of his employees were "excited" to receive their firearm.

"I've never been a part of anything like this," employee Chelsea Priest said.

Please forgive me. I don’t mean to be rude or to criticize others who choose to read Fox News. This is only a reminder for those of us who’ve been Fox News readers.

"...Please forgive me..."


The absurd decisions made by Fox News Channel executives likely will not impact the good news these employees received about getting a firearm as a Christmas gift.

Having sat through numerous board meetings I realized that the primary concern of corporations is liability. This gift has the potential to destroy the company. Very bad move. (I have a CCW license and carry every day.)

Since the Faux Snooze piece helpfully mentioned the source of the report, I thought to track down that source and found it here:

https://www.postcrescent.com/story/news/2018/11/13/hortonville-business-gives-employees-handguns-christmas/1987839002/

But wait, the Post Crescent is part of the Gannett/USA Today propaganda network, so no excerpts are allowed. Either way you are giving clicks to the MSM.

So why not link also to the BenShot website?

Thinking about Christmas presents? That’s a good place to start!

Ben is going to be a little surprised when he sees his casualty insurance renewal invoice. Once he goes through with this scheme, the toothpaste will be out of the tube, irrevocable. A world of hurt just waiting to happen.

This is what the sponsors of the global propaganda corporations are demanding, as per a bad decision in a D.C. circuit court in 1977.

"'It is imperative that independent journalists have access to the President and his activities, and that journalists are not barred for arbitrary reasons. Our news organizations support the fundamental constitutional right to question this President, or any President,' a joint statement from the news organizations said." ["Trump seeks to land blow against media in court fight with CNN," Jason Schwartz and Michael Calderone, Politico, November 14, 2018, (https://www.politico.com/story/2018/11/14/white-house-trump-has-broad-discretion-to-regulate-journalists-access-989916).]

Acosta and the other propagandists of the oligarchs have no such right to question the President face to face or to use the situation as a platform to make statements to the U.S. population in front of the President through television. Not all of Acosta's utterances were questions, and he was begging the question (using questions as statements). They have no right to be in the presence of the President.

If we don't use legal and honorable means to stop those sponsors from using the courts to force the President to be in the presence of those sponsors' perverts, the population of voters will see an intensified spectacle of disruption of the President's duty, ongoing displays of extreme disrespect against the President and a flood of propaganda without truly independent reporters or journalists being heard.

Those are preparations for the world's oligarchs to more fully control the people of the United States under a centralized tyranny (fascism/communism).

If you're going to quote from any of those criminal globalist news organizations, use the Brave browser with Tor to avoid giving them add views or even so much as your geographical position. Boycott their sponsors and save your money for personal and political power (avoid debt, donate more to the NRA, real, direct charity directly to people in need instead of social engineering NGOs supported by corporations, etc.).

And here's something that you really need to know. Don't simply quote the first few lines of text from globalist news companies. Selectively quote what you want readers to see from the article. Use elipses (...) where needed. Don't induce readers to follow links to those sites.

There are real independent news and opinion writers, and they're not "blog whores." Those who are sane and tell the truth supported with good quotations and citations (evidence) are loyal Americans doing us a big favor with their time.

"So why not link also to the BenShot website?"

That's a good idea. And by the way, some reports about BenShot were published by people with truly independent websites before the big media tyrants even saw them. The articles were posted here a few days ago.
