47 U.S. companies join anti-Trump Breitbart blacklist
World Net Daily ^ | 12/1/2016 | Chelsea Schilling

Posted on 12/01/2016 8:29:54 PM PST by stars & stripes forever

A Donald Trump-hating Twitter user – who is too scared to reveal his true identity because he says he fears backlash from Trump supporters – is attempting to destroy a leading conservative news site with a coordinated campaign attacking its advertisers and claiming it’s “racist.”

The anonymous Twitter user, known as Sleeping Giants, is attempting to take down Breitbart News. It takes screenshots of advertisements on Breitbart and then harasses companies that own the ads, demanding that they blacklist the news site.

And several high-profile U.S. companies are taking the bait.

Known what? Staples is on the list of those being criticized by the left for advertising on Breitbart. That’s it.

My company will be closing business with US Bank at the end of this year. Also not accepting project request for bids from 3M. Time to end business with Minnesota.

“...find a non Welch’s grape juice...”

Kedem concord grape juice is a kosher 100% concord grape juice sold in Wal Mart (and other stores) that is delicious. It is all juice (no high fructose or anything else added) and tastes better than Welch’s.

While I know some people eat gluten free b/c they think it’s cool, some do b/c they say they feel better, some, like my sister and a couple of my cousins HAVE to eat gluten free because they have celiac disease.

My sister was finally diagnosed years ago and there weren’t many, if any, GF products available, now, thankfully, most grocery stores carry a variety of products. Udi has bread type and dessert products she buys from time to time and says that some of Udi’s products are better than other brands available. I’ll let her know.

These liberals are so wrapped in their ideological thought bubble they virtue signal reflexively - they can’t fathom that half the population disagrees, or think they are so holy that they MUST end the relationship with the evil side.
Liberal ideology has become as totalitarian and invasive as Islam, trying to control every action and interaction. They fail to realize that by alienating a large percentage of the population by injecting politics / ideology into everything, they create the conditions where people can kill each other because there are no ties that bind them or reasons NOT to.
Then again, they’ve been engaging in the social exclusion and demonization of others that is a hallmark precursor of genocide against conservatives for years. They should appreciate that the people they’ve been demonizing and assaulting are Christian and thus less likely to engage in the systemic murder that socialist regimes have engaged in from USSR to Cuba.

LIBS haven’t mastered the ART OF THE DEAL. The only boycotts I have seen that have worked are conservative boycotts.

I stopped eating wheat for about 4-5 years. I never had problems with wheat before that I knew. But I changed my diet to a more traditional one and cut out all processed carbs including bread. Then when I started to try wheat again after this break, I could not digest it. At all. Dizzy and sick like an allergy to it. Albert I always had that but the symptoms were more extreme after avoiding it or maybe my gut bug population changed so much I couldn’t eat it.

Now I can eat wheat but ONLY organic wheat WITHOUT ENRICHMENT. Maybe it’s the iron filings they put in. So I still eat gluten free when I am out and about or I will have a terrible night. At home I bake with organic wheat that is unenriched. Both sprouts brand and kings flour make some.
I can also eat those pure rye crackers. So it’s not the gluten I react to. Today’s wheat is pretty messed up compared to what our great grandparents ate.

And if you eat Udis GF bread and want to boycott, Trader Joe’s is better. Udis has some kind of wood product in it, cellulose or whatever. TJs doesn’t.

My children have no issue with the BUY-cotts we do sometimes - everything on the list that can be bought from Hobby Lobby, then hit Chick Fila for lunch.

If one decides to boycott a company, it’s important to write immediately to all the management of that company and inform them you are doing so and why. The effect of your boycott otherwise is like the sound of one hand clapping. The effect will take months to be noticed at the corporate level otherwise as the message is felt through the distribution channels. Let those who made the decision know immediately. And tell your friends.
