Thursday, July 02, 2026

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.

"We were unaware that an image of the Confederate flag was included in a video as part of this exhibit, and we have withdrawn our participation," Mt.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,

Grandma always used to say, "Once you've lost Mount Olive Pickles, you've lost the game."

Never understood what she meant until now. Grandma was always kinda weird like that.
