Goya Food’s CEO Robert Unanue pushed back recently when he was attacked for praising President Trump. Unlike countless corporate types who have caved to the pressures of the moment, Unanue told Fox and Friends “I’m not apologizing” for complimenting Trump, whom he called an “incredible builder.”

Unanue noted that he had met with the Obama White House in the past, and thought it reasonable to work with this president, too.

“It’s suppression of speech,” Unanue said about the tsunami of criticism hurled at him.

He is correct.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., slammed Unanue on Twitter, even though Goya has donated thousands of pounds of food to needy New York families hurt by COVID-19 and employs roughly 4,000 people in the area, begging the question – what has AOC done for her constituents lately?

n the wake of his remarks, liberals set #BoycottGoya trending, but Trump supporters answered with #BuyGoya, inspiring many to place orders for delivery to local food banks.

Another recent story is promising, too. Christian Cooper has said he won’t help the Manhattan DA prosecute the so-called “Karen” who falsely accused him of threatening her life.

The African American bird-watcher decided that Amy Cooper, who was crucified on social media and fired from her job for making an inappropriate 911 call, had suffered enough, and that “bringing her more misery” constituted “piling on.” Sounds like Cooper thinks the “cancel culture” has gone too far; he’s right.

I still think 55% of the country is sane. I also believe that through fraud, treachery and illegals voting, the Democrats could pull five or six percentage points from that stuff.

I hope the guys on our side are preparing for that and trying to stop it.

Now stop laughing at me :-)

She has done nothing for her constituents but, even then, was rewarded by getting 71% of the votes in the primary.

Today’s young marxists forget what happened in the 1968 election with the convention riots and following election of Nixon.

...polling shows Democrat candidate Joe Biden’s lead over Trump is shrinking as a result.

I call bull stuff!

Ol' Joe NEVER has had any 'lead' over Trump!

The challenge is that Americans have to make this decision within a vacuum of information. Nothing good will be told about Trump, and nothing bad will be told about Biden though our media outlets. Most Americans don’t watch Fox News, as popular as it is, and even Fox tempers its good Trump news under their current management.

Social media continues to block or modify Trump support messaging. It’ll be interesting to see if the networks will censor Trump campaign ads in the lead-up to November as well.

I live in an uber liberal area of the craphole known as NY. There are all kids of self-serving white liberals here full of guilt who have been telling everyone else what they need to be doing the past four weeks.

Friday i was at Shop Rite and a local had scribbled on the back of his van “ALL LIES MATTER!!” It wasn’t a sign- it was somehow painted on in huge block letters and you could see it everywhere.

Doesn’t seem like much but a lot for the area i live.

Interesting timing.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Never in history have Police been treated so badly as they are in Democrat run cities - and these cities are a mess. Police must take a stronger stand with the Radical Left politicians that are treating them so badly, and so disrespectfully!!!

The rebellion against the liberal destruction is happening in many places. Jamie Mayo is the black mayor of Monroe, LA, and has served for 19 years. He was defeated on Saturday by a white Independent by 2000 votes with a huge turnout of 42% of the elected voters. This happened only because enough Democrat black voters rejected Mayo this time. Can this be an omen of what may happen in November to the Democrats on a national scale? Wonder what Mayo’s internal polls were telling him? He appeared absolutely numb at his “victory” celebration. Me thinks his polls may have misled him.

I bought my first can ever of Goya Black Beans yesterday. I had never heard of the the brand until a few days ago.

It shows you just how powerful AOC has become. She now gets massive numbers of people to do the exact opposite of what she wants.

My final employment was with an ITT company in 2012. We literally had to sign a contract which included never telling a joke or having a non work related conversation. Oh, they happened, but either in secret or when initiated by the top dog. Usually, it was about sports or golf.

The company leadership was so woke it was nauseating to listen to the VP’s talk. When I presented a logical rebuttal to a female VP’s argument about hiring ex-con’s instead of people who had no record, her face colored an angry red. My leg got tapped under the table and the subject got changed.

The left has been trying to do away with non-PC speech for a long, long time. In the old Soviet Union older political officers told the new ones, “Try to say as little as possible. What is okay to say today will get you executed tomorrow.”

Why someone would work towards that, I don’t know. You would think they would realize that, eventually, the mob would come for them.

Polls don’t show nothing. There never has been a lead for Biden.

“what has AOC done for her constituents lately?”

Other than make herself rich and famous?
Well....she did keep a thousand or so high paying jobs out of NYC.
She kept her constituents from being liberated by evil capitalism. So, theres that.

AOC is the sales person of the year for GOYA.
Their sales have skyrocketed since she launched her boycott.

Trump should go even further and pardon anyone in jail for drug use. Three strikes and you’re out on USE is absurd. Heck, many of them are probably already out on the Covid Jail Release programs anyhow, might as well steal the issue away. That will further eat into the Dems base.

I’m about ready to do a Rip Van Winkle until the day after the November Election.

If I wake up and POTUS Trump is Reelected, we kept the Senate and retook the House, I will go back and read all these “hopeful” Stories, savoring every written word.

If the opposite is true, I will know that the America I loved is gone forever and every other person I meet is willingly responsible for its demise.
