Harris Teeter And Kroger Vow To Stop Selling
Pro-America Can Koozies

Original Article

Kroger and Harris Teeter bent the knee after a whiny complaint on Twitter. The two popular grocery store chains were asked by a woman with barely more than 4,000 followers on Twitter why they were selling pro-America can koozies featuring guns and celebrating freedom, and were asked to “please remove them.” (Tweet) Instead of telling the woman to get lost and stop complaining about such a minor situation, Harris Teeter and its parent company Kroger bent the knee and immediately vowed to stop stealing the koozies! (Tweet) As soon as I saw these pathetic and weak responses, I got Kroger and Harris Teeter on the phone to ask

#1....from Wikipedia: "Koozie" ~~...A koozie or stubby holder is a fabric or foam sleeve that is designed to thermally insulate a beverage container, like a can or bottle.

She’s running for congress, NC district 98. Apparently she was voted out of office in 2020. And she still has only 4,051 followers on Twitter. Her actual tweet got only 532 likes. Hopefully their marketing depts read the responses, they are not favorable.

NC once was a very conservative state, turned "purple" if not outright blue by a massive influx of refugees from the Northeast who hate the South but like the low taxes, and are eager to otherwise make your state into New Jersey with better weather. One by one they get 'er done, without fail. Too bad states don't issue passports.

Haven’t been to Kroger in several years. About 2 yrs ago, they “remodeled” the store and added cheap clothes and plastic crap for kids. It looks like a cross between Walmart and Bargain Hunt. Publix is my go-to. I hope they don’t start something like this.

10 is spot on. Yankees trying to saturate Dixie to flip your politics, not to join you. Florida and Texas are their current projects (or targets, if you please). "Harris Teeter and its parent company Kroger bent the knee and immediately vowed to stop stealing the koozies!" Stealing? Oh, you mean SELLING.

I quit Kroger here a couple of years ago for different reasons. Their parking lot is hell on asphalt. The spaces are too small and the risk of people backing into each other is an every day occurrence . Combine that with the fact that they are trying to force their customers into self checkout. Only a couple of registers open for 80 year old coots like me. I still have their “discount” card but I will send it back and tell them to stick it and why.

See below for my note yesterday to Kroger, along with their response. I highly doubt their claim of 'an increase in seasonal mail volume.' I think Middle Class Americans are making their feelings known about the whole woke issue. (This is the company that tried on one occasion to tell me I needed to provide a note from my doctor in order to forego mask-wearing. Laughed and kept walking--) Sent to Kroger: I suggest that you might want, at your upcoming shareholders meeting, to re-think your policy on pandering to a single silly snowflake who makes a single silly snowflake complaint. See the link below for why: https://twitter.com/kroger/status/1539012411713363968 Kroger Response: Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for visiting the Kroger Co. Family of Stores. We value your comments, questions and suggestions. Due to an increase in seasonal email volume, we are currently experiencing a delay in replying to your email. Our representatives will respond to all emails in the order they are received. Thank you for your patience.

A congressional chief of staff was caught vandalizing property within the Capitol Hill complex, but despite recommendations for criminal charges from Capitol Police, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has refused to prosecute him. Just The News reports that 51-year-old Timothy Hysom, the chief of staff for Congressman Jack Auchincloss (D-Mass.), was arrested by Capitol Police after he was caught on surveillance camera footage defacing posters outside the office of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) in the Longworth House Office Building.

Field biologists discovered an 18-foot invasive Burmese python weighing 215 pounds in the Florida Everglades. Researchers from the Conservancy of Southwest Florida believed their scale was broken when they weighed the beast, as none of them could comprehend a Burmese python would ever grow so huge, National Geographic reported Tuesday. The snake, the largest ever discovered in Florida, was captured using a male scout snake with a GPS tracker attached to it, the outlet continued. Burmese pythons are effectively impossible to spot without scout snakes, according to BroBible. (Tweet/Photo)

Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch and model and actress Jerry Hall are allegedly divorcing after six years, The New York Times reported on Wednesday. The Times allegedly heard of the rumor from “two people with knowledge of the decision.” However, no other details have emerged from Murdoch or Hall’s representatives.

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin ignored recent examples of progressive violence when he went on "At This Hour With Kate Bolduan" on Wednesday to condemn "the pervasiveness of right-wing violence." Toobin appeared on a panel discussing the ongoing Jan. 6 hearings and potential connections to former President Donald Trump. In the latest hearing by the Jan. 6 Committee on Tuesday, state officials testified that they received several threats and attacks from people after refusing to overturn the 2020 election results. Toobin argued those threats were further proof that "right-wing violence" is now pervasive throughout the country.

Figures on liberal media networks CNN, NBC and MSNBC have pushed the narrative that Republicans do not deserve equal coverage alongside their Democratic counterparts, often claiming Republicans stand for anti-Democratic values and are more likely to push falsehoods. On MSNBC's "The ReidOut" Monday night, Joy Reid and her guest, left-wing political analyst Mathew Dowd, suggested the media were too neutral in their reporting on the Republican Party, and thus needed to ramp up the hostility. She added that both sides were "not the same," and also urged fellow reporters to "tell voters" the GOP was a "threat" to freedom.

A top investigator for the House Jan. 6 committee is reportedly departing from his role this week, earlier than anticipated. John Wood, a senior investigative counsel on the committee, confirmed his departure to CNN, but he declined to elaborate on why he was moving on from the role as rumors swirl that he has been encouraged to run for the open Senate seat in Missouri. Wood's exit comes as the committee is in the thick of public hearings about the Capitol riot and the coinciding efforts to challenge the 2020 election results. The panel held its fourth public hearing on Tuesday, focusing on how former President Donald Trump and his allies pressured

Former President Trump suggested the Supreme Court look to the journalists at Politico who broke the bombshell story last month that a draft opinion penned by Justice Samuel Alito would overturn Roe v. Wade, to find who leaked the document. The story, written by reporters Josh Gerstein and Alexander Ward, hinged on a leaked draft ruling from the court that sent shockwaves across the political and media landscape. The draft outlined the conservative majority’s decision to overturn Roe, a landmark case that ruled abortion was constitutional.

Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito released blistering dissents Tuesday after the high court limited the reach of a federal statute requiring harsh penalties for certain crimes involving guns. The case centered around Justin Taylor, who authorities said was a marijuana dealer in Virginia in the early 2000s. Taylor and an accomplice planned in 2003 to rob money from a buyer, and the accomplice shot and killed the buyer during the robbery, according to CNN. Taylor was subsequently charged with “attempted Hobbs Act robbery,” which is a federal crime and has a maximum sentence of 20 years.

Barack and Michelle Obama's multiyear deal with Amazon's podcast platform Audible is worth at least $20million, experts have claimed. The couple will have to contribute two shows and appear in up to eight episodes each, the industry insiders said. The move will give the former first lady the scope to make less personal appearances than what was wanted under their former partnership with Spotify, the sources said. Audible said the pair plan to use their new platform to 'tell stories that elevate diverse voices and and experiences'. The Obamas cut ties with Spotify after reportedly clashing with the streaming giant over exclusivity and how much they were expected to appear in episodes.

Their model, calculated in May when just 728 cases were confirmed or suspected globally, suggests the outbreak will largely affect the men who have sex with men community, while a surge in cases among other groups is 'unlikely'.
