At times, it can feel like the country is only concerned about all things red and blue, but if you're a business owner, you're typically only worried about another color: green (despite what Whoopi Goldberg says). However, one woman in Tennessee broke that unspoken rule and decided she only wanted to work with people who supported her own political views. The backlash came so fast and furiously that she had to shut down her business. 49-year-old Kristin Wolter of Memphis is the owner of the florist shop Everbloom Designs in Memphis, Tenn.

I always find it amusing when a liberal accuses people (Trump supporters) of being hateful and unsafe when they have done nothing other than vote. Maybe liberals should take a good look in the mirror if they want to see someone actually spewing hateful rhetoric.

much like Biden, she considers her own customers who voted Trump to be nothing but garbage. As a result, her customer base will be reduced by at least 50%. That should insure that her business will soon dry up and go away.

This flower shop owner is throwing a temper tantrum because she didn't get her way. Well, she is entitled to do that but most people aren't impressed with temper tantrums. We don't have to appreciate and support her, not because we are hateful but because SHE doesn't get to tell us what to do anymore than we get to tell her. She wants to yell and scream, we can ignore her. She wants to close her shop, OK. She wants to spit in our faces, we don't have to do business with her.

There was a story on a social media where this guy was talking about how his wife was so "triggered" and upset about the election and did not feel safe living in their red state. They were talking about moving to a blue city and mentioned, Minneapolis and Chicago. I just laughed - 2 cities with extremely high crime rates and they want to feel "safe" there ??

This is just another in a long line of stories of leftist democrat intolerance towards Conservative, Republican Trump supporters. I'm a peaceful God-fearing man who wears his MAGA gear with pride. Any intolerant leftist democrat who has a problem with that better just keep it moving. That's all I'm going to say.

"The shop will be closed the rest of the week due to threats to me and my business." That is the beginning of one of her posts which ends with "They are showing their true colors and lack of decency and humanity." Now, does anyone here actually believe any Conservative made a threat to this woman, aside from If you are going to be that way, I'll take my business elsewhere? Demonrats are infamous for their lying hoaxes, and I'm positive this woman, her employees, or her shop received no threats from anyone, anywhere. I mean, C'mon man!

Trump Clinches Another Win in Hush Money
Case. How Some Libs Reacted.

Posted by ladydawgfan 11/22/2024 8:24:06 PM Post Reply
Katie touched on this earlier this morning. We all knew the hush money trial was in trouble since Donald J. Trump won the 2024 election. The now-president-elect wouldn’t be sentenced to jail if he beat Kamala Harris, and Judge Juan Merchan made a series of moves before Election Day to ensure that sentencing could go either way. We all know this case was a political hack job, where the statute of limitations was toyed with, and definitions of the crimes Trump stood accused of involving his alleged tryst with Stormy Daniels were stretched to the limits of reason.

It took just minutes for the left-wing media to have a liberal meltdown over President-elect Donald Trump’s new attorney general pick after Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL ) dropped out over sex-related allegations. Florida’s former attorney general, Pam Bondi, will serve as the next attorney general of the United States under the Trump Administration. As Republicans celebrate and applaud the president-elect’s pick, Democrats are already hitting the panic button due to her tough-on-immigration stance and vocal opposition to President Joe Biden’s expose of his family’s ties to the corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma. In other words, Bondi won’t pander to the left.

On Tuesday, Judge Juan Merchan was expected to rule on the post-trial motion filed by President-elect Donald Trump's legal team in his Manhattan criminal case asserting that the verdict should be set aside on the grounds of presidential immunity following the Supreme Court's ruling on that issue. He'd already put it off by a week in response to a joint request by Trump's team and District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office to postpone it. But when the moment came, initially, it appeared Merchan had put that off indefinitely and postponed the sentencing set for November 26. Then we learned that was merely an automated schedule alert

Davis, a Republican legal expert, has repeatedly called out the judges, DOJ officials, and DAs involved in the many and various lawfare cases against Trump. Now, corrupt Judge Juan Merchan and Soros-backed Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg admitted that Trump’s sentencing in the case involving alleged “hush money” payouts and records falsification has been indefinitely delayed. Davis sees this as a vindication not only of Trump but of all those who consistently exposed the corrupt lawfare.

The mayor also takes heart that the people of Denver — not just the administration — would likely resist a mass deportation effort from federal forces. “More than us having DPD stationed at the county line to keep them out, you would have 50,000 Denverites there,” Johnston said. “It’s like the Tiananmen Square moment with the rose and the gun, right?”

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants on Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister and Hamas officials, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity over the war in Gaza and the October 2023 attacks that triggered Israel’s offensive in the Palestinian territory. The decision turns Netanyahu and the others into internationally wanted suspects and is likely to further isolate them and complicate efforts to negotiate a cease-fire to end the 13-month conflict.

In his victory speech in 2008 — nearly a generation ago — Obama told the masses in Chicago: “It's been a long time coming. But tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.” Upon reflection, Obama’s changes were far from transformative. Oh, the deep state got deeper. And the insurance industry received subsidies that over the years likely top a trillion dollars by now. Obamacare also enabled him to enable the transgender fad that has poured millions into a few doctors and children’s hospitals while spaying and neutering thousands of innocent teens who were struggling with teenage hormonal imbalances.

His claim came shortly after Trump tapped former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the DOJ following former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-Fla.) withdrawal from consideration. “So, she’s really presiding over the bureaucracy,” Raskin, the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, told MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” in an interview Thursday. “That is where she will be the key transmission belt between Donald Trump’s orders and then making the bureaucracy move.”
