Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Even a 100-year-old pickle company could no longer support President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair after it was rocked by fresh controversy. Mt. Olive Pickles, a North Carolina institution founded in 1926, pulled out of the sparsely attended Washington, D.C. fair celebrating America's 250th birthday after a Confederate flag was displayed in their state's pavilion. The company said in a statement on X that it participated in the event after receiving an invitation. The North Carolina government did not participate in the fair, citing expenses, so private companies stepped in to sponsor the exhibit.

"We were unaware that an image of the Confederate flag was included in a video as part of this exhibit, and we have withdrawn our participation," Mt. Olive Pickles said. "Our company stands on values of human dignity, opportunity, and freedom."

I think that this pickle company has its finger on the pulse of the nation.

Because of this, Trump is absolutely attempting to steal the midterms; and because of this he'll use naked force if he has to.

Trump is doing such a ferociously bad job that he's inviting the socialist in.

Just Like Bush II did such a bad job he invited a Black president in,
