Western Brands Boycott Calls Intensify After US Jets Bomb Yemen

Social media users are pressing ahead for continued boycotts of Western brands as the US and its allies pound Yemen with air strikes and missiles to neutralize Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

"Boycott these brands that support the invasion of Yemen," X user Naila Ayad said in a post viewed more than 1.6 million times.

One X user pointed out, "None of these brands have anything to with Yemen and the US didn't invade Yemen, also why is their idea of a boycott just targeting snacks."

"Actually, boycotting these brands will improve your health, too," another X user said.

These calls come as boycotts across the Middle East have battered Western brands following the deadly Hamas attack in southern Israel on October 7.

McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski wrote a LinkedIn post earlier this month that explained the Middle East boycotts have had a "meaningful business impact." He said the boycotts were "due to the war and associated misinformation."

"I also recognize that several markets in the Middle East and some outside the region are experiencing a meaningful business impact due to the war and associated misinformation that is affecting brands like McDonald's. This is disheartening and ill-founded. In every country where we operate, including in Muslim countries, McDonald's is proudly represented by local owner operators who work tirelessly to serve and support their communities while employing thousands of their fellow citizens. That local community connection is the genius of the McDonald's System."

Last week, Papa John's International Inc. blamed "lower-than-anticipated net unit openings" on "unanticipated international restaurant closures in the fourth quarter including 10 UK franchised restaurants; 12 international units that were re-classified as closed locations in the fourth quarter through a review of temporary restaurant closures; restaurant openings moved into 2024; and restaurant opening delays due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East."

It's not just McDonald's. Reuters said other Western brands, such as Starbucks and KFC, have been boycotted.

It remains to be seen if boycotts will intensify since the US bombing campaign in Yemen began on Wednesday.

Court Orders Donald Trump To Pay Nearly $400,000 To New York Times

A New York judge ordered former President Donald Trump Friday to pay $392,638 in legal fees to The New York Times.

New York Supreme Court Justice Robert Reed awarded the fees Friday after dismissing last May a lawsuit Trump filed against the outlet and three of its reporters, along with his niece Mary Trump, in 2021. Trump had sought to hold the reporters liable for encouraging his niece to provide them with confidential tax documents in violation of a prior settlement, according to The Hill.

Biden Admin ‘Enabled’ Islamic Terror Groups Now Attacking US And Allies, Defense Experts Say

The Biden administration spent several years emboldening Islamic entities and nations that are currently in conflict with the U.S. and its Western allies, defense experts say.

Coalition naval and air forces launched a retaliatory strike against the Houthis for the first time on Thursday, underscoring months of broader conflict in the Middle East between the U.S., Israel and other Western allies against extremist Islamic groups. Some of these nations and groups have benefitted from the Biden administration’s foreign policy through sanctions relief and aid.

“Biden administration policies have weakened the strategic security and economic interests of the U.S. and our allies in the Middle East – with deadly consequences,” Michael Bars, former Trump White House senior communications advisor and National Security Council official, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Such is the case with the Houthis, a Yemini-based militant group backed by Iran. In an apparent show of support for Hamas’ fight against Israel, the Houthis have launched dozens of attacks in the Red Sea against commercial vessels since October 2023. U.S. forces in the region have often had to intervene in these attacks; in one case, a naval warship had to act in “self-defense” after being fired upon by the Houthis on Jan. 6, and Navy helicopters took similar actions against the militant group in a firefight in December.

The U.S. created a defense coalition of Western allies in the region in December as a warning to Houthis, but the militant group was undeterred and continued attacks, eventually leading to the retaliatory strikes against them on Thursday.

The Houthis were designated as a terrorist organization by the Trump administration in 2021, but that label was swiftly removed by the Biden administration after President Joe Biden took office. The Biden administration removed the Houthis from the terrorist list because it was concerned over what humanitarian impacts it might have on Yemen.

The Houthis began increasing their hostilities in and outside of Yemen after the group was removed from the Biden administration’s terror list in 2021. Biden is now reconsidering adding the Houthis back to its designated terror list due to the group’s recent aggression.

The Buck Foundation Subverted The Buck Foundation has been invaded by foreigners. Just follow the rouge thread into the Labyrinth. It looks like the Buck Institute is a secret embassy for foreign affairs. I am reminded of the CIA-Contra slush fund. Anyone who comes in contact with the Buck Bunch, is going to be overwhelmed. There is a cache of Insider Information disguised as charity. The Buck Bunch are running roughshod over the Poor – who have no power! Beryl Buck wanted to empower the poor, make sure they have enough to eat, and a place to dwell, so they will not sell themselves, and their children, to the very rich! Two men added to the institute’s board of trustees in particular raised concerns: Fouad Makhzoumi, a Lebanese native and CEO of Future Group, who joined the board in 2014; and Rubar Sandi, chairman of the Sandi Group, who joined the board in 2015. Sandi is an Iraqi from a wealthy Kurdish family who immigrated to the United States in the late 1970s.The Sandi Group’s work with Texas-based DynCorp has been investigated by the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction, according to David Phinney, a Washington, D.C.-based freelance reporter whose work includes a series on contractors and private military companies working in Iraq. Phinney said the Sandi Group teamed with DynCorp on a massive multi-year U.S. State Department contract to train more than 100,000 Iraqi police officers, as well as dozens of other projects. CNN reported in 2007 that the “State Department had been unable to account for most of$1.2 billion in funding that it gave to DynCorp International to train Iraqi police.”

In 1984, Makhzoumi co-founded Future Pipe Industries, and was CEO from 1986 to 2003,when his son, Rami Makhzoumi, took over as CEO, with Makhzoumi as chairman until 2011,when he resumed the CEO role.[3]In the 1980s, Makhzoumi recruited the “disgraced Conservative politician” Jonathan Aitkenas a board director of one of his companies, Aitken failed to declare this, and as the government minister in charge of arms sales, promoted a military equipment deal involving Makhzoumi in the 1990s, all of which played a part in Aitken’s being jailed for libel in1999.[4]Just so happens to be a company that makes oil and gas pipelines!

Hamas planned attacking Israeli Embassy in Sweden – Mossad

The Palestinian group runs a vast "terrorist" network in Europe, Israeli intelligence and security officials said.

The Palestinian militant group Hamas runs a network of operatives tasked with committing terrorist attacks in European countries, Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad has warned.

The statement came after seven people were arrested last month in Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands on suspicion of planning to target Jewish sites.

“Hamas terrorist organization has acted to expand its violent activity abroad in order to attack innocents around the world,” Mossad and the Israel Security Agency said in a statement released by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office on Saturday. It added that the militants planned to attack the Israeli Embassy in Sweden and sought to purchase drones.

The suspects arrested in Europe last month were part of a larger Hamas network coordinated from Lebanon, Israeli officials said, adding that Hamas had planned to enlist the help of “criminal organizations” on the continent.

Danish prosecutor Anders Larsson confirmed that the case that stems from the December arrest “has links to Hamas,” Danish police told AFP on Friday. The group itself has not commented on the matter, but said in the past that it only commits attacks in Israel, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank, according to Reuters.

As Israel marks 100 days of its war with Hamas, Netanyahu addressed the nation on Sunday, reiterating that the operation in Gaza will continue until Israel completely neutralizes the threats coming from Hamas.

“Nobody will stop us – not The Hague, not the axis of evil and not anybody else,” Netanyahu said, referring to the genocide case brought before the International Court of Justice by South Africa. Israel rejected the accusations of indiscriminately killing Palestinians during the first day of hearings on Thursday.

The latest round of fighting between Israel and Hamas began on October 7, when the Palestinian militant carried out a surprise attack on southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people and taking more than 200 hostages. Israel responded by declaring war on Hamas and vowed to “eradicate” the group. More than 23,000 Palestinians have since been killed in Gaza, according to the local Hamas-run government.

Video: Rep. Bob Good Slams ‘Useful Idiot’ and ‘Fraud’ MTG

'There was an overwhelming decision to remove [MTG] from the Freedom Caucus and I guess she's got an axe to grind as a result of that,' says Rep. Good.

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Rep. Bob Good slammed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene as a “useful idiot” political “fraud” for the GOP establishment when he joined the Counter Points newscast earlier this week. As Good mentioned in his roasting of Greene, despite her claims of being an America First Patriot, she was kicked out of the House Freedom Caucus last year for her ardent support of the GOP establishment and disgraced ex-speaker Kevin McCarthy.

“Marjorie Taylor Greene has demonstrated that she’ll say anything to smear, or attack, or lie about those with whom she has a personal vendetta or a grievance against,” said Rep. Good (VA-5).

“Marjorie Taylor Greene showed herself to be the fraud that she really is when she unconditionally supported the former speaker a year ago and then, of course, she got lots of blowback against her because she had positioned herself as a brand of somehow anti-establishment and a change agent in Washington,” good went on.

And then, MTG “smeared and lied about those of us who were fighting to prevent the former speaker from getting elected back in January.”

“She was then subsequently kicked out of the Freedom Caucus because of her behavior, so she knows very little about the Freedom Caucus. She’s an island to herself now. She was kind of a useful idiot at the hands of the former speaker back in [last] January to try to help him become speaker. Now she’s kind of isolated herself, she has no support among the membership.”

“Did she have any support inside the Freedom Caucus [when she was being kicked out]? … Was there anybody that was like ‘No, she’s great’,” one of the show’s hosts asked Rep. Good.

“Well, I won’t get into the internal dynamics of it,” Good replied. “I’ll just say that there was an overwhelming decision to remove her from the Freedom Caucus and I guess she’s got an axe to grind as a result of that.”

WHO Appoints Transgender Majority for Panel on Raising Children

The World Health Organization (WHO) has steadily worked toward achieving total incompetence. Their mishandling of the “pandemic” is legendary, as is their leftist position on the climate change hoax and their insistence on the necessity to eat bugs rather than meat.

The head of this “health organization” is Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, an Ethiopian. But he is not a doctor in the conventional sense; he is an academic, having earned a Ph.D. in philosophy, not a degree in medicine.

Within the realm of philosophy, there are two distinctions. One is objectivity, which is a philosophical opinion or method that believes that reality exists outside of the human mind. People can separate their own ideas and opinions from the observations they make. Objective observations are true no matter who makes them. The other is subjectivity, which means making assumptions and interpretations based on personal opinions without any verifiable facts.

In the WHO's case under Ghebreyesus, subjectivity definitely rules. Reality and common sense are secondary to personal feelings and delusion. Facts don’t come into play; it’s all about leftist ideals, right or wrong. The question we need to ask ourselves is obvious: should an organization with the power of the WHO be dictating policy on a subjective platform? Perhaps the “World Health Organization” should be led by an experienced professional with a degree in medicine, and the approach should be objectively fact-based.

Unfortunately, for now, it isn’t. As a result, we can expect more unorthodox, irrational, and dangerous recommendations to be leveled by this leftist union of subjective ideals.

Recently, according to a report by the Daily Mail, the WHO has formed a 21-member panel to create healthcare guidelines on how to treat “gender dysphoric” children. On this “respected” panel, eleven appointees have no formal medical training, seven are transgenders, ten have medical experience, and only eight are doctors. The rest are either social justice advocates, human rights lawyers, STD researchers, or policy advisors.

Does any of this sound objective to you? The majority of this panel has no medical experience, and a third are transgenders. As a reminder, trangenderism is a mental delusion and has nothing to do with science, reality, or biology.

One of the transgenders, a trans woman, who uses the elegant pronouns they/them and bi*tch, is just what you would expect from a leftist choice for this supposedly “serious” panel. This piece of work also has a tattoo that reads, “Be Gay, Do Crimes.”

He believes that mental health checks on gender-dysphoric children seeking puberty blockers and hormones should be scrapped; ignore reality and rush them into the process. This man pretending to be a woman (yes, I am deliberately not using his pretend name) is a Canadian with a large TikTok following. He believes puberty blockers should be prescribed to all children, regardless of their gender identity, so they can “choose” their gender rather than being assigned one by society. (Sounds scientific to me.)

When discussing an “academic” paper the panel co-authored on the subject:

Is there any reason to ask people to go through a lengthy and complex gender assessment in order to access gender-affirming care, or is that useless and should the time best be put in supporting decision-making?

And what our article concludes is that there's really no evidence that gender assessments work… it's just a lengthier process for no real reason. Gender assessments are really an unnecessary form of gatekeeping that trans communities have been opposing for a while.
