Original Article

Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton confronted Kroger CEO Rodney McMullen on Nov. 29 after he suggested Republicans help save businesses while Democrats impose heavy regulations. Cotton spoke during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the proposed merger between the Kroger and Albertsons grocery chains, and said companies shouldn’t inject themselves into cultural issues only to ask conservatives for help later on.

Why can't people let tolerance be a two-way street...no one should feel threatened...no one...for their beliefs or convictions

They gay/queer advocacy groups have gotten to a phase where they are throwing their political weight around to see what they can get away with. In this case they attempt to force people to wear regalia associated with a political issue, using the potential loss of employment as a threat. The truth is that homosexual activity is an absurd pantomime of the mammalian reproductive act engaged in by two or more homosexuals, where at least one of them assumes the role of the female being penetrated. Since this organism lacks female genitalia, it substitutes the misuse of the lower digestive tract as a sort of counterfeit vagina. Since this organ is normally used for the evacuation of feces it should be no surprise that this unhygienic activity leads to the spread of disease; HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, monkeypox. Deep down the homosexuals recognize this, since it is not opinion, it is undeniable demonstrable biological fact., they have to force people to go beyond just tolerance [mind your own business, privacy, consenting adults] to forcing people to express support, by requiring compulsory public support for a political cause.

My opinion…corporations have to be very careful about injecting themselves into cultural issues. I personally do not care if Krogers forces that employees into, say, wearing NK military garb…I can vote with my feet…and employees can also. But, while our nation values free speech, it also values the right to not speak. Requiring an employee to express an opinion…does not stroke me as coherent with our value system.

I used to like shopping at Pick N' Save but ever since associating itself with Kroger, I don't care for the grocery stores. I went there the other day but probably won't go back; I also found the cashier to be rude. They seem more cluttered. I will go elsewhere.

OP because it has nothing to do with tolerance. It is Social control - the S in ESG. If Kroger wants to continue to borrow money in order to continue to engage in commerce, the global banking system requires Kroger to openly display acceptance of the Social mores du jour. Of course it isn't only Kroger. The only method of stopping the movement is for employees to refuse to participate. The worst manifestation of ESG totalitarianism is in law enforcement "I'm was only following orders".

If we had a Kroger, I would go there to tell them why I will not shop in their store. In the past, we had Kroger in the States we lived in and I found them okay, but not up to others we are now lucky enough to have. Publix and Fresh Market are pretty hard to beat imho. But, if I hear of them pulling a stunt like Kroger, I will not subsidise them by shopping there!

In a lot of small towns Kroger is the only grocery chain. They under cut the other groceries, like Marsh, who went under. Once they have a monopoly, their prices go up and their service goes down. Most of their lines are self check out. I absolutely hate Krogers. I have very little choice unless I want to drive 50 miles to another grocery chain. I do go to Sam's Club but they don't carry everything. Also, a little store called Fresh Thyme which is good but does not carry everything either. Use Sam's Club and the Fresh Thyme to avoid Krogers as much as possible.

Maybe so, #12. But, so far, they are keeping their sexual activity relatively private & haven’t appropriated particular representative language & symbols & organized into political groups with the clout to legally force others into compliance if they choose not to support that activity or do the same. Many forms of arrogance can obviously be forced upon mankind by earthly judges, et al, but there is an ultimate Judge who made the rules contained in the one law book by which we all are commanded to live if we want a life in a better place where love & rainbows and being gay have entirely different meaning one day. It’s truly heartbreaking that so many refuse to comply with that great law book. The further we get away from its laws the worse becomes society for everyone. One wonders how long before the scenes of attempting to force individuals out of their homes so that others can “know” them might be replayed. Guessing there unfortunately would be many more pillars of salt among those forced to flee these days.

Renowned soccer journalist Grant Wahl has died, the U.S. Soccer Federation reported Friday. Wahl, 48, was in Qatar covering the World Cup when he passed away. Wahl’s agent, Tim Scanlan, said that the journalist “appeared to have suffered some sort of acute distress in the press room” of the stadium during the quarterfinal match between Argentina and the Netherlands, when the two teams began playing in extra time. Paramedics were called to the scene, Scanlan said, but were unable to revive him.

Former WNBA star Brittney Griner was reportedly released by Russia in a prisoner swap for a notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, according to a US official. In February, Griner, a two-time Olympic basketball champion, was arrested by Russia and pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis vape cartridges at an airport near Moscow. Possessing seven grams or more carries criminal penalties in Russia. Those can include up to two years of “corrective labor.” Yet Griner was charged with smuggling cannabis into Russia, which holds a prison sentence of five to 10 years. Griner was sentenced to nine

Taiwan-based TSMC will also announce its commitment to construct a second fab that will produce three-nanometer chips. Apple CEO Tim Cook and Advanced Micro Devices CEO Lisa Su will also be in attendance Tuesday. Cook and Su will both be sourcing significant chips from TSMC's Arizona facility, White House National Economic Council Director Brian Deese said in a briefing.

Biden has not gone to the border as president, despite soaring illegal immigration, gruesome human trafficking and massive quantities of fentanyl illegally entering the U.S.

Some New York lawmakers are renewing the push for a state law that would lay the groundwork to pay reparations to black residents whose ancestors were enslaved. Proponents gained steam after a task force in California last week recommended that the Golden State shell out $569 billion in reparations to slaves’ descendents there, or $223,200 apiece, because of lingering housing discrimination practices. A previously proposed New York measure called for creating a commission to study the impact of slavery and providing reparations but failed to pass the legislature. It is now being revised, backers said.

Why Does the GOP Elite Hate Its Own Base? 43 replies

It is one of the most bitter and tragic ironies of our contemporary politics that the leadership of one of America’s two major political parties, the Republican Party, utterly despises that party’s very own voting base. The GOP elite’s scorn for its own voters has, at this point, been a long time in the making. The trend accelerated during the 2009-2011 rise of the Tea Party, a grassroots movement fueled by constitutionalism and anti-elite populism. The crustier elements of the Republican establishment ran as far away as possible from the Tea Party, and the 2012 presidential coronation of private equity plutocrat Mitt Romney effectively killed the movement.

Two-million-year-old DNA from northern Greenland has revealed that the region was once home to mastodons, lemmings and geese, offering unprecedented insights into how climate change can shape ecosystems. The breakthrough in ancient DNA analysis pushes back the DNA record by 1m years to a time when the Arctic region was 11-19C warmer than the present day. The analysis reveals that the northern peninsula of Greenland, now a polar desert, once featured boreal forests of poplar and birch trees teeming with wildlife.
