Although there's a nice store two blocks from me, this is why I have no intention of ever entering their store or buying their products... the idjits who run the place would do well to keep their lying MARXIST mouths SHUT about their radical politics if they want to foster a solid customer base...

Spice company that called Republicans racist begs for gift card purchases after losing customers
The spice company has reportedly lost more than 40,000 subscribers after the CEO's politically charged email
"A Wisconsin-based spice company that made headlines earlier this month when its CEO sent an email to customers accusing Republicans of racism is now asking people to buy gift cards after hemorrhaging tens of thousands of customers.
Earlier this month, Penzeys Spices CEO Bill Penzey renamed the extended Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend to be "Republicans are racist weekend" in a newsletter to customers. In the letter, he said his aim was to anger Republicans in honor of the late civil rights icon.
"Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM wasn’t a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person? What a bunch of racists," the email said.
Penzey also claimed that the Republican Party "does everything it can to make it harder for Black people to vote."
Since sending his controversial email, Penzey sent out another missive Friday asking for gift card purchases and admitting that his company had since lost 40,005 subscribers, which is approximately 3% of their base, according to 1130 WISN.
"After starting the year with All Republicans are Republicans and following up with Republicans are Racists we’ve set a nice little Boycott Penzeys! surge in motion," Penzey wrote. "It certainly wasn’t unexpected, but if it’s within your means, you picking up a small stack of Gift Cards would help."
Despite the fact that his politically-charged email reportedly brought in 30,000 new subscribers, Penzey conceded that "we are still down about 10,000. Please help."
"If you can’t even begin to fathom how to 'compromise' with January 6th, or the Republican vaccine lies needlessly killing 10,000 Americans every week, if you have no desire to become half-way racist, and if their intent to destroy our climate for one thousand years to come doesn’t have you asking: 'What if we just destroyed it for five-hundred years instead?' we would be better off with you on this Voice Of Cooking email list," he wrote.
Penzeys Spices did not immediately respond to a request for comment..."
The original email, from earlier this month:
https://spices.penzeys.com/index.php/email/emailWebview?md_id=22555
"Remember when Black Lives Matter started to have some success getting all of America to see how unfairly Black Americans are treated in this country and the importance of us all saying Black Lives Matter until Black lives start to be treated as though they do matter? Remember how Republicans, seeing the success BLM was having in moving America towards greater equality for Black people, in many ways the first real success since the time of Dr. King, remember how Republicans did all they could to derail that success by trying to drown out BLM’s message with shouts of all lives matter, and blue lives matter, and lying about the leaders of BLM being Marxists and Communists?
Remember after George Floyd’s murder the anger and righteous outrage that swept across America? Remember how Black Lives Matter stepped in and redirected that anger into peaceful protests that millions of Americans from across all walks of life participated in, amassing a hundred million human-hours of peaceful protest? Remember how Republicans, going against a mountain of evidence to the contrary, once again lied and said BLM wasn’t a peaceful movement but instead terrorists inciting violence throughout the country and then raced out to buy a crapload of guns because maybe they were finally going to get their chance to shoot a Black person? What a bunch of racists.
So many great things about our spices and seasonings. One of those great things is that pretty much every one of them, by virtue of where they are grown, who they are picked by, or by the cultures of the foods they ultimately go on to season, cheeses off racists. And where normally cheesing off racists is something we throw in for free with the purchase of any of our spices, in honor of the life of Dr. King, this extended weekend we are throwing in an extra cheesing off of an up-to-$12.95 value 1/2-cup jar free with any $10 purchase.
This Dr. King Memorial Weekend we are also giving away 10 little but powerful BLM stickers with any purchase. And two of our very best blends, our regularly $3.95 Galena Street and $5.29 Mural of Flavor, are only $2 each with the entirety of those $2 being split between the national Black Lives Matter organization and Milwaukee’s own BLOC that’s doing an outstanding job pushing back against the decades of racism this community has faced. Thanks for helping support good people.
No coupons or codes are needed for any of these offers. Each is automatic for everyone. On penzeys.com, whether you are looking to get your order shipped or looking to do touchless pickup in one of our stores, once you have an additional $10 in spending your most expensive of all your half-cup jars up to $12.95 in value will automatically be free. It’s easy!
And I get it. If you are a Republican voter you are now cheesed off. You were promised that there would never be any accountability for your support of the party of open “textbook” racism. Sorry, but for the betterment of all Americans, you included, we’ve decided to end that rule. And I really don’t care what your race is or how many of your friends “happen to be” whatever. None of that excuses you.
If you’re a part of a party that does everything it can to make it harder for Black people to vote, gerrymanders the value of minority votes down into a small fraction of the value of white votes in state houses and in the US House of Representatives, and are willing to vote for candidates of the party that nominated a man for president who explained why he was launching his campaign by saying: “Mexicans are rapists and murderers,” the Racist label is one you will deservingly wear every day you stand with them. Get used to it, or maybe instead, become a better person. The choice is yours. We will be here rooting for you to Choose Love.

because they were owned by a cult. As a result, I've never tried it.
I've eventually realized that this is just as foolish as the people who
boycott a business for their CEO's political beliefs. Who cares? I
won't go out of my way to find one, but the next time ice cream would
hit the spot, I'll stop and try it.

White supremacists to win elections. It has for decades.
Anyone who denies that is either stupid or a liar.

Prior to civil rights, my father was 100% Democrat, but the

lover party."

supermarket, Publix. It makes my shopping easier, it saves me money. I
get the BOGO sale list every week a day ahead. I pay using the app and
my debit card that saves me time and gives me discounts every $100. I
can opt out of any marketing and emails.
I have the BJs app too. I can clip coupons on the app and they are
applied at checkout. Nothing to remember to bring along. Ahead of the
trip I can check prices and availability and see if my regular buys are
on sale. They do not send me emails.
There are apps I have no use for but the tight ones help me.

expensive. Generic brand spices are cheap though.
I use my local health food store. Herbs and spices sold in bulk, just
take as much as you want. It's fresher, organic and about half the price
of say, McCormick.
You would think a health food store would be more expensive. It is but
not with the bulk items - herbs, spices, and grains.
This is my store. Happily, only 1/4 mile away - easy walking distance.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/whoopi-goldberg-suspended-from-the-view-for-two-weeks-over-holocaust-comments
The View’ Co-Hosts ‘Furious’ at ABC for Suspending Whoopi
FALLOUT
The famed co-host is going off-air for two weeks to “reflect” on her comments, and sources said her
on-air colleagues are not pleased with ABC’s decision.
Whoopi Goldberg has been suspended from The View for two weeks over her Monday remarks about the Holocaust, and most of her co-hosts are furious with the network, sources told The Daily Beast.
“Effective immediately, I am suspending Whoopi Goldberg for two weeks for her wrong and hurtful
comments,” ABC News president Kimberly Godwin said in a note to staff on Tuesday evening. “While
Whoopi has apologized, I’ve asked her to take time to reflect and learn about the impact of her comments.”
She added: “The entire ABC News organization stands in solidarity with our Jewish colleagues,
friends, family and communities.”
Godwin further said that “these decisions are never easy, but necessary.” While Goldberg’s
comments “do not align” with the values or culture of ABC News, she added, “it was important”
that the View host had a chance to address her remarks on Tuesday’s broadcast “and have
an educational conversation” with Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt.
“I appreciate their conversation and his acknowledgment of Whoopi’s efforts,” Godwin concluded.
“People are really upset and don’t understand why it took two days,” an ABC executive told The Daily
Beast. But multiple sources said that Goldberg’s co-hosts Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar, and Ana Navarro
are furious with the network’s decision.
Navarro, a regular guest host who was on Monday’s broadcast, later told The Daily Beast how sad
she was about the entire saga..."

non PC crap.
We had a case up here a while ago where a white hockey announcer said
something that the PC crowd wanted to find offensive. He commented about
people not wearing poppies on Remembrance Day and dared to use the
term "you people" and referring to a suburban area of Toronto that has
a alarge muslim and east Indian population. FWIW we had been in that
area the night he made that comment and went to an Afghan restaurant
annd have to agree that poppies were distinctly absent. It's not as if
they were the only people not wearing that symbol of support for our
verterans. I would interpret the "you people" not wearing poppies to
mean everyone who was not wearing them, not any specific group. The man
is a noted supporter of veterans, not a racist, but... some people feel
a deep need to be offended wherever the can.

True. And unlike some, I scratch cook many things so need a lot of
different spices. No way am I paying 7-8$ a 1/4cup McCormicks bottle
when I can get 2 cups for 6$ and split it 4 ways and be at 1/3 cup for
1.5$. Want more per person? Upsize the bulk order. Easy to do.

at by some black guys. I am not saying it happens all the time, but it
has happened.
I have also seen videos of unarmed white guys being shot by white cops.
You have to go to some effort to see them because the networks prefer to
go with the stuff that will get lots of attention.

Then he decides to whip out that right hand with a shiny silver object

I've come across a few 80+ years old Sears catalogs in antiquing, and
those are a trip to read through; especially the ones that have Sears
kit homes in them. One of my long gone relatives had a Sears kit home
delivered and built; the house is still there.

I see your point. I usually make a list at home, forget it, and wing it
when I get to the store. Oh, and pay with cash, Lol. I do have an
"advantage card" for the local grocer due to the fuel discounts based on
the volume of groceries that you buy.

something spice - wise...
Ethnic markets are another good and cheaper source, especially Indian places, they've a
plethora of stuff. There is a little sushi place by me that has a small "Japanese market" inside,
a few shelves jam - packed with good and nicely - priced stuff. Maybe will get there when the
snow melts a bit...
These daze I primarily rely on Amazon, just received a big bunch of Asian spices and condiments...

Michael's an excellent example of American ignorance and explains how
Americans were able to vote for the Trump clown. The deplorables are
poorly educated, poorly informed, have never been out of their own
country and are easily influenced. Yet they do have the right to vote.
And there you are: Donald Trump. I can't wait for the next American
election. May I suggest Sylvester Stallone? :)
