Ban Whole Foods! ROFLMAO. Ban Whole Foods. I am never shopping there again! Good riddance.

“Odds are, you have an opinion about the Republican senator from Kentucky, and regardless of whether that opinion is positive or not, one thing is certain,” Whole Foods Magazine added in an accompanying press release. “Mitch McConnell has done a tremendous amount to influence the natural products industry in 2019, and what he has set in motion will continue to impact this industry for a long time to come.”

https://www.dailywire.com/news/whole-foods-magazine-declared-mitch-mcconnell-their-person-of-the-year-and-confused-whole-foods-shoppers-are-furious?

Punchline: “Whole Foods Magazine is not affiliated with Whole Foods Market; the two are separate entities altogether, even though Whole Foods Magazine does seem to cover topic of interest to the regular Whole Foods Market shopper. Somehow, despite years of co-existing, neither has managed to challenge the other one’s use of the name, possibly because it’s not clear which “Whole Foods” came first. The grocery store chain says it was founded in 1980. The magazine lists two dates, 1977 and 1983.

Regardless, the two managed to coexist peacefully … until now.“

Time to take those Co-Exist bumper stickers of your Priuses and Subaru, my enlightened betters.

All we are saying is give peace a chance.

“The crowd then began to chant in unison, "No Trump, No KKK, No Fascist USA!"

Portland theater manager, Burt Simmons, emerged from the ticket counter to assure everybody that the film has nothing to do with Trump and that that movie would inspire a holiday spirit of peace if they would give it a chance.

At publishing time, Burt was in grave condition at a local hospital.”

This sends a tingle up my hair legs. Maybe some kids can caress them back in place.

“2020 Democratic hopeful Joe Biden began an eight-day bus tour across Iowa, his campaign is calling it the “No Malarkey” bus tour. The term “no malarkey” is British slang for “no nonsense.”

Young voters have recently coined the term “Ok, boomer,” mocking the Baby Boomer generation for their “old folk” lingo and political ideology. Biden’s “No Malarkey” bus tour is no exception to the “Ok, boomer” mockery. In fact, it has us wondering if the phrase should actually be “Ok, Biden.”

But, the oddly named bus tour is just the most recent example of how Biden is alienating himself from young voters.

A new Emerson Poll shows Biden has the lowest support of top-tier candidates among voters under 50. Bernie Sanders received 37 percent of the support, Elizabeth Warren received 22 percent, and Biden falls far behind at 15 percent.

Another study from Politico finds only 10 percent of Biden’s base is aged 18-29. Meanwhile, other candidates have much more support among young people. 35 percent of Sanders supporters are aged 18-29, and Warren’s young base holds above at 15 percent.

In Iowa, Biden only garnered 5 percent of support among those younger than 45. It’s no question, Biden has a massive problem with young people.
——
His bus tour hasn’t done him any favors in generating new support among young voters. In fact, it may be doing the exact opposite. During a stop, Biden admitted Trump followed through on his campaign promises to help rural voters

“Look at the promise that was made. Look what’s happening now. Iowa is growing, Iowa’s moving,” Biden said.

Biden’s “no malarkey” tour may have more appeal to his baby boomer equals, but it is not an especially bright idea when Biden is polling at 5 percent among young Iowans. This really makes young Democratic voters roll their eyes and say, “Ok, Biden.”

Isn't that just special @ 528, a pathetic, trollish, upcoming IG report deflection. So what are the odds that jerry the nads will be better or worse than schiff for brains? Likely no different and it will have no ratings and also likely to continue repelling independent voters! SWEET!

They say if you don’t like Schifflips, you are really going to hate Nadler.....

Here’s that video going around (from Drudge) about the Chi-coms interrogating a man for criticizing the police on social media. Disturbing. Like I could see that happening here. Critizing the New Green Deal, ad infinitum. One thing about the Left is clear: they are always fighting liberty to get to achieve totalitarianism. They are constantly fighting against the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th Amendments, and the 9th and 10th. It gets in their way.

In response, Mike Bloomberg weights in on China.

“Bloomberg: Yes, they are, but they’re now moving plants away from the cities. The Communisty Party wants to stay in power in China, and they listen to the public. When the public says I can’t breathe the air, Xi Jinping is not a dictator; he has to satisfy his constituents or he’s not going to survive.

Hoover: He’s not a dictator?

Bloomberg: No, he has a constituency to answer to.

Hoover: He doesn’t have a vote. He doesn’t have a democracy. He’s not held accountable by voters.

Bloomberg: If his advisers gave him —

Hoover: Is the check on him just a revolution?

Bloomberg: You’re not going to have a revolution. No government survives without the will of the majority of its people”

“It may be difficult to discern the logic of Bloomberg’s apologia for Xi. But it’s quite easy to posit a logical reason for Bloomberg to spew illogical apologies for the Communist Party: The billionaire has vast financial interests in China, and those interests have allegedly compromised his civic-minded endeavors in the past. In 2013, the New York Times reported that Bloomberg News had killed an investigation that had threatened to upset Chinese officials”

Man, just think of how much more he could do beyond banning 16oz sodas. If Mike Bloomberg was ruler of the world...

The IG Report. Rumors are flying. I still don’t have a lot of faith in Horowitz. He just looks at individual FBI employees’ actions. Remember the IG Report on how they handled the Hillary e-mail probe? Horowitz said this action was wrong (or questionable), this action violated the Handbook, this action in and of itself was biased, this individual text or e-mail was political or extremely biased.... but when you put all the pieces of biases, violations, and grey areas together in its totality, the FBI’s actions were not political, lol.

Let the rumors fly.

“It is important to note that the IG report from Horowitz — who will testify in front of Congress next week — is separate from the criminal investigation that U.S. Attorney John Durham is conducting on the origins of the Russia investigation.”

WINNING: Ahead of Summit, NATO Agrees to Re-Balance Nations’ Contributions, Slash the U.S. Share. Of course, Euros “agreed” to lower their carbon emissions, too, but didn’t.

Donald Trump……is there nothing he can't do!

Little Greta Speaks.....

https://www.socialeurope.eu/why-we-strike-again

"That action must be powerful and wide-ranging. After all, the climate crisis is not just about the environment. It is a crisis of human rights, of justice and of political will. Colonial, racist, and patriarchal systems of oppression have created and fuelled it. We need to dismantle them all. Our political leaders can no longer shirk their responsibilities"

The mask comes off. Purty good writin' for a 16 year old though, makes you wonder.

Short version: It was never about the environment.

"I ask the guy if he just wasn’t a fan of Biden’s and he says “who?” I say the former VP. The man, who farms in the Missouri Valley says he’s never heard of Joe Biden".

I find it troubling in this day and age that a man might not know the comedy genius that is Gaffemaster Joe!

Maybe the farmer was frightened by Uncle Joe's tumescent leg hair.

It's just not the sort of thing you need when waiting for your coffee.

President Donald Trump said that House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) is a “deranged human being.”

No that's not "deranged". this is deranged, making fun of people with disabilities. Trump has set new standards.

Given all of Adam Schiff's disabilities, you might have something there.

Didn't you get all worked up about this when it happened…..in 2015?

[George Rebane]

PaulE 906am - Paul, you guys continue going after the low-hanging fruit on Trump. Why don't you instead take on something more meaningful to Americans? - your assertions that tax rates don't affect economic behavior, or 'border walls don't work', or more regulations encourage commerce and entrepreneurial activity, or capitalism has created all the world's ills, or bigger government taking on a bigger share of the economy is better, or people are indifferent to living among others more like themselves, or ... .

There are so many things you guys believe in that you should really attempt to substantiate instead of displaying your ongoing spasms of TDS.
