n Martin Luther King (MLK) Jr. Day, a spice company sent out an email calling all Republicans "racist" who largely hope to one day "shoot a Black person." Penzeys Spices, a Wisconsin-based company, issued an email promotion Jan. 14 dubbing the MLK holiday weekend, "Republicans are racist weekend."

"Republicans did all they could to derail that...

Penzeys Spices in Wauwatosa, Wis., has spent $92,000 on pro-impeachment ads between Sept. 29 and Oct. 5, according to data compiled by Bully Pulpit Interactive, a Democratic communications agency, and published by Axios.

My bride, among her other abilities, is a first rate cook. She received this e-mail from Penzeys Spices: And the results are in from Friday’s Racism Update Email. You may remember this email was us re-sending our previous day’s email. In it we kindly asked those who chose to cast their vote for an openly racist candidate for the President of the United States to take responsibility for their action. With the re-send we put the UNSUBSCRIBE BUTTON right up on top for those needing to use it. We also hoped they would one day come back. The final results...

Penzeys, a Wisconsin-based spice retailer, has accused the Republican Party of embracing racism for backing Donald Trump. “The open embrace of racism by the Republican party in this election is now unleashing a wave of ugliness unseen in this country for decades,” wrote Penzeys CEO Bill Penzey in an email to customers. “The American people are taking notice.”

The comments, sent in an email to Penzeys Spices customers and posted on the company's Facebook page, were apparently made in an effort to clarify a previous weekly email that CEO Bill Penzey sent to his customers. In that previous email, the very liberal Penzey — who has...

Sorry for the vanity, but... Just received newsletter from Penzey's Spices owner Bill Penzey. We (used to) love the place and have a cabinet full of wonderful spices that delight our noses and our palates. We've been aware of his ideology in the past, and have been able to put it aside and continue to patronize his stores, both brick & mortar and online. But no more. Here is an excerpt from the newsletter, wherein he seems to attempt to extinguish a previously-set fire with a can of gasoline. This guy needs to learn when to STFU... "Racism Update: At...
