Continuing Blowback

Just another brief note about taking the reins in hand against the various leftist areas of nonsense. While many of their protesters are running around in the streets, doing whatever it is they do, you can always home in on the financial aspects of virtually anything. Of course it's not always financial. Just read another article about crime being way, way up in Baltimore. Whether it's acknowledged in polite society or not, the cops here and in other places, when they were pushed against they essentially took a powder and disappeared. Milwaukee too. Chicago, Detroit? People, if they think can always find a way to counter the moves being done against them.

Saw the clown football player protesting, his name doesn't matter. He's got the hair, all he needs now is the red nose. Then others joined him. Protest him? No, he's a fly, why don't we go all the way and get rid of football? By get rid of it I just mean stop supporting it. Listen you can find better violence in the new fighting venues. In any case, write letters to the owners, the sponsors, cancel your tickets, cancel your pay per view, make them pay. This is the key, MONEY.

I read that some 1.4 million people signed a petition to stop patronizing Target over the bathroom thing. Not really an issue I care about but, according to what I read, this protest, boycott is costing Target tremendous amounts of money. If you care about this issue, stick it to them. Do it every time some corporation does something you don't like.

I read where some very mainstream companies were subsidizing the nonsense of BLM. Stick it to them, sign petitions, boycott.

Same with these idiot celebrities. Baba Streisand, George Looney (by the way one time he was standing next to a tree and the tree stole the scene). All of them, they want to stick their necks out, be obliging and cut them off.

One could go on, but I tell you in America it's always ultimately about money and that is where you need to strike.

I generally buy coffee on sale. Costco had only one brand on sale and that was Starbucks. I passed. They and their liberal let’s-talk-about-race can kiss my *ss. Target? You can’t pay me to go in there. AARP backed Obamacare. They could be giving away free hair transplants...doesn’t matter. They are dead to me. I see an advertisement, like for Progressive Insurance...I think, nope, you back too much liberal sh*t. I’d rather pay more, thanks. Recall JC Penny backing the gay agenda? Hey, are they still in business? I used to buy my shirts there. They could be giving them away free. Forget it. I don’t spend nearly what the average person spends, but what I do spend will not go to liberal causes or liberal supporters. They espouse their politics at their own risk.

The interesting thing is, I am certain that each company thought that buying into the liberal agenda would net them more sales. (I have to wonder how JC Penny and Target thought they could attract business by caving to what must be .0001 percent of the buying public.)

I am certain that each company thought that buying into the liberal agenda would net them more sales less government regulators' interference.

The businesses probably didn't expect a customer blowback that would decimate the bottom line.
