Be on the lookout for unpatriotic traitors! - if you see someone pull up in a Harley, wearing Levis, Nikes, an NFL jersey, and talking about what a great man John McCain is. Beware, that person is unAmerican!!! He/she may even be a liberal!! Report that person to the nearest Russian embassy near you.

Levi Strauss teams up with gun control group: ‘We simply cannot stand by silently’

“You may wonder why a company that doesn’t manufacture or sell guns is wading into this issue, but for us, it’s simple,” Bergh wrote. “Americans shouldn’t have to live in fear of gun violence. It’s an issue that affects all of us — all generations and all walks of life."

Levi Strauss CEO: Why Business Leaders Need to Take a Stand on Gun Violence

In November 2016, I wrote an open letter requesting that gun owners not bring firearms into our stores, offices, or facilities, even in states where it’s permitted by law.....

In the days after I published that letter, I received threats to our stores, our business, and even on my life. It was unsettling. But these personal attacks pale in comparison to the threats that activists and survivors from Parkland, Sandy Hook, and daily incidents of gun violence face every time they speak up on this issue.

In fact, as a former U.S. Army officer, I took a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. But as retired four-star general Michael Hayden once said, “There are some weapons out there that frankly nobody should have access to. And actually, there are some people out there who should never have access to any weapons.”

Nike takes on Trump by naming Colin Kaepernick the face of 30th anniversary of ‘Just Do It’

Nike Inc. is taking a stand on taking a knee.
The company’s new ad campaign will feature Colin Kaepernick, the NFL quarterback who led player protests against racial injustice and police brutality during the national anthem, in a highly political move directly at odds with the rhetoric of President Trump.

Levi and Nike have always been "for the kids" and it is obvious that they are catering to the millenial generation by taking these political stances to heart.





I don't think so much about Levi and the gun control issue because who isn't against gun violence?

but Nike is really taking a chance here by taking on Kaepernick as a spokesman.

I'm sure the young crowd will love it though and that is their base.



What I think is really funny is how muck Kaepernick is like Al Bundy, remember him from the TV show "Married with Children"?



Al like Colin used to play football and now they sell shoes... BA DA DISH !

I remember lot of people loved the Al Bundy character. Kaepernick is nothing like Al Bundy though. He made it into the NFL while Bundy didn’t.

Meh, over 100,000 came to Milwaukee over the weekend for Harley Davidson's 115th Anniversary. Bikes were everywhere.

Most trumpers shop at Walmart and buy low-cost knock offs. Hard to boycott what they never bought.

Motorcycles are hard to see sometimes. I'm fairly sure I wouldn't see that one.

I can't get into it now, but we may want to look at the dynamics of the various protests, and where they go from here forward.

It's not a good place to be for the country as a whole.

Democrat Socialist voters buy their junk at the Family Dollar stores where their welfare checks are welcome.

"The Hill" and a bunch of grocery store rags. Haha



You guys are digging low today to find something to complain about now that McCain's corpse is rotting in the ground and the Russian meme has blown up spectacularly.

UnAmerican, traitor?


Not by most people's definition.


Someone that cozy's up to the leaders of enemies and works with foreigners to try to influence an American election are the real UnAmerican traitors.
