Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical left and Islamic terrorism.

When a Philadelphia Starbucks manager called the police after two black men refused to leave, the chain of events ended with the burnt taste of the overpriced coffee chain colluding with anti-Semitism.

I’m done defending US Jews who do not call out their own majority of Israel hating leftists. Screw them. When they start speaking out, so will I.

i think the only thing i ever bought at starbucks was a bottle of water once about a decade ago when I was to meet a friend there. I never go there - or any of those coffee places. waste of money, time and bad atmosphere, or so my instincts tell me.

I laugh when i see people like lemmings in line wasting precious minutes (many some times) in line at drive throughs at coffee places. not only wasting time, but also blocking traffic in some cases and, for those so concerned with car emissions, lots of that happening too.

Even more silly is the people who drive to a coffee place located inside a bigger store - they spend time and money driving to the store, get out of car, walk into store, stand in line....

and even more silly is the adults with their teens buying them coffees - great to teach the next generation this is what life is about wasting money and time for highly overpriced coffee full of additives, you could easily make at home without the additives and actually be teaching the kids some thing useful (take your pick: saving money, you can grind your own beans, make new blends and flavors, shop for value, clean up after yourself, all sorts of things to learn from it)

I had to stop going to Barnes & Noble because of the StarPukes located in their store. The smell of their crappy, over-priced “coffee” would give me a headache in about 5 minutes.

A true blessing in disguise.

The ADL is a far left organization that smeared candidate Trump repeatedly in 2016.

They richly deserve every negative consequence coming their way.

24% of all Jews voted for Trump in 2016.
Most are Orthodox or Conservative Jews.
Reform Jews usually support leftist causes such as immigrants sanctuary and so on. My theory: their mommies taught them Republicans are Father Coughlin anti-semites and Dems are “for the little guy instead of big business.” They never grew up. Jewish actors, producers,rock music people and comedians are usually Reform Jews.

Please don’t hate all Jews-—remember the 24%.

Coffee has TWO characteristics:

ONE—It makes a perfect breeding ground in your intestines for parasites. They love it, and multiply tremendously.

TWO—Coffee is supposedly a liquid, but THE MORE YOU DRINK, THE MORE DEHYDRATED YOU GET.

To the point where the system gets frantic, and starts drawing liquid out of the sacs surrounding nerves, etc

resulting in aching and misery throughout the system.

In 2014, Starbucks had issued a bizarre statement assuring Muslims that it didn’t fund Israel.

“Neither Starbucks nor the company’s chairman, president and CEO Howard Schultz provide financial support to the Israeli government and/or the Israeli Army in any way,” the press release assured.

It’s fun to see a politically correct company try to bow to the all the victims.

It’s impossible to please them all. The crowd of different victims, all shouting for their own privilege, makes it impossible to succeed.

Starbucks is forced to select the most influential victims to please and slight the others, hoping the “lesser” victims don’t make too much noise.

But they all have a megaphone.

From now on I will boycott Starbucks. It will be inconvenient because to do anything like that I will have to avoid the whole area around Starbucks as I have never been inside one and going north or going west to work normally takes me right past one of the two local ones..Sheesh

They were honoring them out of fear of more provocations.

Starbucks has been on my s**t list for over 25 years. CEO Schultz was friends with the mayor of Seattle. Schultz lived in a very pricey neighborhood lakefront property, he was building a house there. When he asked the mayor if he could put his driveway through the community park as it was less steep, less money, the mayor said, sure, buddy!

We had a wonderful customer at the time that lived in that neighborhood, she was a tech geek and her husband was a neuro surgeon. She went door to door having neighbors sign a petition to stop Schultz from ruining their neighborhood park. She stopped it.

I have personally boycotted Starbucks since. When my youngest son meet a Starbucks barista, he told her when you meet my Mom, don't tell her you work at Starbucks, lol!

Hey Jews, did you hear what these black activists said about you? Hey black activists, did you hear what these Jews said about you? Pass the popcorn.

Smart move, Jews haven’t initiated war on the world. Star Bucks owners don’t want to die, but they will or convert. But that may not work. For Islam also at war between branches. Face it Islam is a violent viscous murdering philosophy. It main prophet was a thief, murderer, and pedophile. (PSYCHOPATH)
