Le boycott: French customers shun McDonald’s, Coca Cola and Tesla to protest against Trump.
Le Boycott French Customers Reject American Brands Amid Rising Tensions In the bustling streets of Paris American fast food chains like McDonald’s and KFC continue to serve long queues of customers despite a growing call for a boycott of U.S. brands. The movement dubbed "le boycott" has gained traction in response to former U.S President Donald Trump's trade tariffs and his perceived anti-Europe rhetoric. The #BoycottUSA hashtag has gone viral sparking debates about consumer choices and political resistance. The push to shun American products stems from a broader frustration with Trump's aggressive trade policies and his stance on European relations. According to a recent poll featured on the front page of Libération over 60% of French citizens support the boycott with nearly one third actively avoiding American brands. The movement is particularly fueled by concerns over economic sovereignty European unity and resistance to what many view as an increasingly hostile U.S administration. Despite the growing sentiment the boycott faces challenges in practice. Major American franchises such as McDonald’s Coca Cola and Tesla still enjoy significant consumer demand. On Paris’s Grands Boulevards where high end boutiques meet popular fast food chains little evidence of the movement could be seen. French customers particularly teenagers and young adults express frustration at being unable to participate due to economic constraints.

The Blatant Disrespect of a Baseball Legend
Just a fair warning that I'm going to go on a bit of a rant. Recently, I ran into a story online that I wanted to talk about. As a baseball fan, I couldn't let what I'm about to say go. It was about an article mentioning the late, great Jackie Robinson's time in the Army deleted from the Department of Defense's website. In case you're not up to speed about what's behind this, President Trump signed an executive order to purge DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs from the U.S. Government. This was one of his campaign promises. That means erasing any mention of Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ figures who came before us. When asked for the reason behind this move, Pentagon press secretary John Ullyot stated it was done to stop what he called "Woke cultural Marxism." The Pentagon claimed that everyone at the Defense Department respected Jackie Robinson, which I didn't buy one bit. If they truly respected him, the article about him serving in the Army wouldn't have been deleted. This was 100% a racially motivated move on their part.
