The private-sector purge is beginning
https://www.americanthinker.com ^ | January 14, 2021 | By Andrea Widburg

Dawson Buchanan, a young Trump-supporter, left a disturbing thread on Twitter. He asserts that he was all set to begin working for a company called Private Jet Services. However, shortly before he was to begin, PJS fired him. He finally learned from the owner that PJS had a contract with the National Hockey League. When the NHL learned that PJS had hired someone who had worked for the Trump company, the NHL said PJS had a choice: Buchanan or the NHL. PJS opted for the company that helps pay its bills.

Here's Buchanan's story in his own words:

1) A couple of hours ago, I tweeted out that this tweet referred to me. Shortly after, I deleted that tweet. After much introspection, and talking with friends and family, I feel obligated to reveal why I deleted it.

A very talented friend of mine, who interned w/ @GOPLeader, and at 20 was one of the highest ranked staffers in the Trump campaign, was just fired from his new job when client found out he worked for Trump. He now can’t afford rent. Still think cancel culture isn’t that serious?

2) After identifying myself as the subject of the thread, @Fly_PJS reached out to me, threatening to take legal action and publicly defame me if I didn't delete the tweet. Intimidated and nervous, I immediately deleted it.

3) But after thinking about it, and discussing my rights of free speech with advisors, I will not be bullied into silence. I'm now going to raise my voice louder.

The NHL has been covetous of the NBA’s racial demographics for nearly 30 years. Their commish desperately wants to be woke.

This is beyond caste. This is the social score like they implemented in China.

Americans need to totally abandon all pro sports. Let them all go bankrupt - Pro sports in nothing but a collective of overpaid, arrogant, narcissistic, egotistical know-nothings, who have no useful skills to offer this country.

Just remember, once the game is named everyone gets a turn.

This will be litigated.

AIG is already canceling insurance based on social score. Hard to operate a business without insurance these days. Be uninsured and then targeted by ANTIFA... this is beyond wrong. This is a totalitarian war against the citizens of America.

I hired lots of people for various jobs over the years. Never would our customers have known anything about those hires. How would anybody know? Why would they ask? From the stated facts, this doesn’t make sense.

of course, those businesses must purge any left leaning employees

I just sent a “nice” email to the NHL, I think you should too. If we can’t even be bothered to do that, what good are we, IMHO?

Political affiliation is not a protected class in most states. Do conservatives fight like this too? Do conservatives network to support conasevative businesses. Do conservatives have an app to warn them prior to patron a busines or corporation that has been hostile towards conservatives. These are all things to think about.

I believe has a solid case against the NHL for Tortious Interference.

Maybe Lin Wood can refer a good attorney.

I knew it was only a matter of time. The nfl, nba, then nascar, now the pga and the nhl.

The justice brothers must be proud. The shaking down of business and sports has become lucritive and productive in their efforts to destroy this country.

We are living in the last days of the church age. dispensation. The time just before the catching away: 1’st Thessalonians 4:13-18.

The Apostle Paul warned us of these days. Multiple times in his letters to Timothy he warned of false teachers and false prophets arising.

I say this to emphasize the condition of the present day church. Which is reflective of the nation. As the church is so goes the nation.

We are living in the days of the Laodecean Church. The lukewarm church described by John in Revelation chapter 3.

The condition of the present day world is a wake up call. The present day condition of the church is an alarm.

Be watching.

Hockey was fun on the lake or pond, while it lasted.

High school rink had about 5 guys who were good skaters.

There was a semi-pro team that also had fun *and skill* < - that drew in the crowd.

Pros? No courage to stick with skill on ice.

Skates. Stick. Puck. All on the ice. Takes courage, discipline, dedication, focus -— everything happening within 1 ft of the ice. That is skill.
