The owner of the Washington Post and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has congratulated President-elect Donald Trump on his sweeping victory - after the billionaire's decision not endorse Kamala Harris sparked a major backlash. Trump's
political comeback was hailed as the 'greatest in history' after the former president sealed a stunning return to the White House by defeating Kamala Harris in the 2024 US election. Bezos, 60, had previously provoked a liberal meltdown during the election cycle when he spiked his newspaper's endorsement of the Democrat presidential candidate, which spawned boycotts from employees and subscribers.

Top US toolmaker quietly removes DEI and LGBTQ campaigns from its website after boycott

UK Daily Mail ^
| 09/10/2024 | James Reinl
The power toolmaker Stanley Black and Decker appears to have scrubbed its website of references to diversity quotas and LGBTQ campaigns in the face of a damaging boycott. The
company, which is behind such brands as DeWalt, Black and Decker, and Stanley, has in recent days removed pages about its 'equity training' workshops and multimillion dollar giveaways to 'racial equity' groups. The move appears to be a response to the conservative group Consumers' Research launching a boycott of Stanley Black and Decker products over the company's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts.

ABC ^
| 6/14/24 | Max Zahn
When conservative activists set aflame boxes of Bud Light and urged a boycott in response to an endorsement from a trans influencer last spring, they sent sales of the beer plummeting in a rare success in the long history of consumer movements. Even
more improbably, the backlash continues to hammer Bud Light and strain independent local wholesalers more than a year later, according to third-party sales data shared with ABC News as well as interviews with six Anheuser-Busch wholesalers. Most of the wholesalers, small- and medium-sized businesses that draw a significant portion of their revenue from Bud Light, said they...

Bud Light fell to third place in U.S. beer sales as Michelob Ultra took its place behind the top-selling Modelo, reinforcing the impact of the 2023 Bud Light boycott, which toppled the brand from its No. 1 spot. In
the four weeks ending July 6, the U.S. beer market was led by Modelo—which overtook Bud Light last May—with 9.7%, followed by Michelob Ultra with 7.3%, Bud Light with 6.5% and Corona Extra sitting just below 6%. The crucial four-week period includes the July Fourth weekend, which can heavily impact a beer brand’s yearly performance, according to the Wall Street Journal....

Reports: Angry Lebanese Boycott Pepsi Because Bottle Cap Is Too Israeli

Breitbart ^
| 6/21/2024 | Frances Martel
Pepsi has become the latest American brand to face a backlash in the Muslim-majority Middle East as part of the ongoing war between Hamas and Israel. While there is no indication that Pepsi has taken an aggressive stance as a corporation to support Israel’s self-defense efforts, its Western identity has long attracted
suspicion, and it has been, in the past, falsely identified as an “Israeli” company. It joins other internationally recognized American brands — such as McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, KFC, and Starbucks — in attracting pro-Hamas ire. Lebanon 24 reported on Friday that the online campaign, which featured angry patrons calling...

Sir Keir Starmer has been told to apologise for 'greenlighting' Israel's 'genocide' in Gaza and allow Islamic prayer in all schools by a fringe group threatening to stand against Labour MPs at the general election. Muslim
Vote has handed the opposition leader an extraordinary list of 18 'dangerous' demands that he must agree to carry out, or it plans to try to scupper his hopes of taking power. The little-known group has suggested it could target 55 MPs who have failed to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
