Justin Danhof is applauding the Trader Joe’s grocery chain, calling it “amazing” for standing up against cancel culture.

Justin lauded the grocer for being a “rare example” of a company willing to stand up to woke activists who want to impose their political agenda on the rest of America.

HOW TO TALK TO LIBERALS: SET GROUND RULES

U.S.-Listed Chinese Firms

Chinese companies with shares traded on U.S. stock exchanges would be forced to give up their listings unless they comply with U.S. audit requirements under a plan recommended by the Trump administration.
