Until very recently, it would have been hard to imagine anything more iconic of American life than Coca Cola and baseball. Today both remind me of Benito Mussolini’s corporatist – aka, fascist -- game of merging of state and corporate power. The CEOs of these operations should hang their heads in shame and fire their public-relations teams. So should the CEOs of Delta and American Airlines, Black Rock, Cisco, American Express, and American Airlines, who have promoted President Biden’s false assertions that tightening election procedures to bring them back into line -- and in accord with those of civilized Western governments elsewhere -- is racist voter suppression. I’m fed up with this never-ending sham: partisan power grabs to weaken the most important features of American life being cloaked in virtuous anti-racism.
The immediate target of these corporate actions was efforts by Georgia and Texas to revise their election laws, laws which in many states have resulted in widespread disbelief that the 2020 elections were conducted on the up and up. When people believe election procedures are untrustworthy, it shatters voluntary acceptance of the election results. Under pressure from racist propagandists of the left and using COVID as an excuse, jurisdictions in several states so loosened the election rules that widespread fraud was made easier. One state in particular was Georgia, where asleep at the switch (or corrupt -- your choice) officials permitted the sloppy, untrustworthy, opaque, and disputed election procedures.

One thing the Left has done is made me a leftist - in the sense that I am becoming aware of the threat of corporate power, and will support the dismantling of any and all large corporations engaged in monopoly and fascism.

It is finally time for Republicans and Conservatives to fight back—we have more people than they do—by far! Boycott Major League Baseball, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, ViacomCBS, Citigroup, Cisco, UPS, and Merck. Don’t go back to their products until they relent. We can play the game better than them. They didn’t even get approval of State Legislatures, which is mandated under the U.S. Constitution. They rigged and stole our 2020 Presidential Election, which we won by a landslide, and then, on top of that, boycott and scare companies into submission. Never submit, never give up!
I'm in, Mr. Trump. My family and I are in.
Why would anyone want to defend voter fraud?
Coca-Cola: The Georgia law is “unacceptable” and “a step backwards,” CEO James Quincey told CNBC Wednesday. “[It] is wrong and needs to be remedied, and we will continue to advocate for it both in private and now even more clearly in public.”

Perhaps the most revealing talk was delivered by Professor Di Dongsheng. Di’s talk was televised and may have been the equivalent of a wardrobe malfunction, approved by the CCP as a provocation: “We own you, and what are you going to do about it?” China expert Gordon Chang said, “Di Dongsheng’s comments show the breathtaking arrogance of the Chinese elite, which now has no hesitation about expressing in public its belief that with a President Biden, China will once again control the highest levels in Washington.” Di’s talk was deleted, but like everything else on the web, it could not be entirely erased. It can be found here.
…
Di Dongsheng:
Di claimed, “For the past 30 years, 40 years we have been utilizing the core power of the United States.” He complained that Chinese influence began to “dry up” under the Trump administration. Also, “The CCP began tugging on the sleeves of their friends on Wall Street, in Congress, and in the media, but got nowhere with the White House.” He claimed, “Wall Street had a very profound influence over America’s domestic and foreign affairs since the 1970s. We used to heavily rely on them.” But, he claimed, “Wall Street couldn’t control Trump.” Trump was imposing tariffs, luring back U.S. companies, and forcing concessions on unfair trade practices.

CCP is the Chinese Communist Party
Thanks Travis for posting the above~!
“What’s More American than Coke and Baseball?”
Oh I dunno..... maybe freedom and independence from those who wish to enslave US.
Why would anyone want to defend voter fraud?
“Delta Airlines is a business partner with the Chinese Communist Party. The same Chinese Communist Party that is committing genocide against Uighurs Muslims,” Rubio tweeted in a video.
But Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian called the new voter ID requirements in the law “unacceptable” in a Wednesday memo to employees on the same day that “72 black executives signed an open letter calling for American corporations to join the resistance,” Breitbart News reported.

“After having time to now fully understand all that is in the bill, coupled with discussions with leaders and employees in the Black community, it’s evident that the bill includes provisions that will make it harder for many underrepresented voters, particularly Black voters, to exercise their constitutional right to elect their representatives,” Bastian said. “That is wrong.”
The Georgia State House responded Wednesday night by passing an amendment that would repeal a tax break on jet fuel for Delta. The amendment still needs to pass in the State Senate, which adjourned without taking up the vote to rescinding tax break worth north of $35 million.

The woke left’s queer campaign to destroy American culture grinds foward. First it was the hamburger, then the Circus, town square statues, baseball, coke and the automobile. What’s next?
Google Senior Vice President Supports Communist John Lewis
Google: “We’ve long created tools and resources to make it easier for people to vote. But knowing how to vote depends on people being able to vote,” Senior vice president Kurt Walker tweeted. “We’re concerned about efforts to restrict voting at a local level and we strongly support the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.”

Rep. John Lewis is an iconic racist
By M. Catharine Evans
In a 2014 BBC interview promoting her movie The Butler, Oprah Winfrey did not hold back when asked about racism. “Older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it, that prejudice and racism, they just have to die,” she said.
Winfrey was talking about old white people, but for the last five decades it has been old black race merchants like Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) who have been passing on prejudice to younger generations.
In this short YouTube video posted in July, Lewis recaps his days as chairman of the Student NonViolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) to a group of Black Lives Matter activists.
Using a bullhorn, Lewis urges the BLM activists to “change America...you can do it...organize...never give in[.]” In the last 30 seconds, after pumping up the crowd, the Janus-faced Lewis tells them to “never hate” – not because it is wrong or sinful or evil, but because “it is too big a burden to bear.” (Especially when a video surfaces of four black adults torturing a mentally disabled teen shouting, “F-— Trump,” “f-— white people,” eh, John?)
Lewis’s public and racist swipe at President-Elect Donald Trump this past Sunday isn’t the first time he’s tried to delegitimize the opposition. Lewis falsely accused Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin of “sowing seeds of hatred and division” at their rallies in 2008, even invoking the name of George Wallace to shore up his attack.
In 2010, he ratcheted up the hatred by alleging that Tea Party protesters shouted racial epithets and spat on him during an anti-Obamacare rally. The late Andrew Breitbart offered to pay $100,000 to anyone with proof the racial incidents occurred. At a time and place where nearly everyone had a phone in his hand (I was there), not one video surfaced of Lewis’s spit-riddled face.
Lewis’s Alinskyite tactics have ties to the civil rights movement itself. The roots of the movement beginning in the 1930s are rotten with communist influence. According to Discover the Networks, there is ample evidence that CPUSA members infiltrated SNCC. Seventy-six-year-old Lewis himself wrote for communist periodicals, fronted for communist groups, received awards from socialist organizations, and has supported socialist candidates.
The aging former SNCC leader is still “marinating” in his hatred of white America. After P.E. Trump responded to Lewis with tweets calling out the congressman’s “all talk and no action” record when it comes to fixing the mess in the inner cities, Lewis’s pals in the mainstream media came to his defense, whining about Lewis’s iconic status as a civil rights “hero” –fifty-two years ago! Isn’t that Trump’s point?
Lewis’s socialist solutions and anti-white vitriol hardly make him a hero unless chaining “his people” to poor schools, fatherless homes, and generations of government dependency is heroic.
As Oprah suggested, maybe the only way we will achieve real racial progress in this country is for the “born and bred” racist “icons” like Lewis to pass away.

Patagonia founder supports voter fraud in Georgia.
Patagonia: “Our democracy is under attack by a new wave of Jim Crow bills that seek to restrict the right to vote. It is urgent that businesses across the country take a stand — and use their brands as a force for good in support of our democracy.”
• “We urge companies to join us in supporting the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the For The People Act.”

A Billionaire Explains Why We Need Socialism
By JIM GERAGHTY
November 1, 2019
The creased and weary face of Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard stares out from the cover of Fast Company magazine, with the eye-catching headline: “CAPITALISM IS DEAD. LONG LIVE CAPITALISM.” The cover further explains Chouinard “and a brigade of bold leaders are fighting for a fairer, more sustainable way forward.”
Inside the pages, Chouinard declares in an interview, “I’m an avowed socialist. I’m proud of it. That was a dirty word just a few years ago until Bernie Sanders brought it up. It was equated with communism and that whole thing. Yet the countries around the world that are most squared away are all socialistic countries like those in Scandinavia. I’m not talking about Venezuela, which is a disaster. That’s not a socialistic country. That’s a . . . I don’t know what.”
…
He says in the interview that his company will be active and vocal in the upcoming presidential election:
“We’re keeping quiet in the primary election, but for the national presidential election, we’re going to be very, very active. We’re going to spend a lot of money and basically say, vote the climate deniers out. Anyone who is a climate denier or even on the fence, vote them out because they are evil. They are out to destroy our planet, and we’re not going to stand for it. We got involved in the last election and we helped elect a couple of senators in Montana and Nevada. I had no idea how much power we really have.”
…
“Think global, act local,” the environmentalists tell us, but some of us don’t want to look too closely at what’s going on close to home. A 2015 profile of him noted, “flying over beautiful mountains and rivers in his own private plane is something that Yvon loves to do,” (Not his) and in another interview he lamented, “we’re probably all going to hell for our consumptive lifestyles. My own little hot spot in hell will be because of all the jet fuel I’ve burned.”

Coke and hookers?
And I thought it was "hookers and blow". ;-P
Don’t patronize coke or baseball.
What could be more American than sucking up to the Chinese Communists? Wait, it is not. IT IS NOT!!!
Damn you beat me to that by 13 seconds.
YES! This exactly.
Ironic isn’t it? Turns out the left was right. Big corporations really are evil. Dismantle them all!
I’ve always been opposed to monopolies. That isn’t capitalism. I’ve also been for unions except for civil service unions, and for right-to-work. That’s not “leftism” so much as it’s being for checks and balances to keep anyone from having absolute power.
