LFC Comments: Thanks to a Lake County lobbyist for this article. Citizens need to be aware of the companies that are supporting the Chinese Communist Party over American made products. We need to start making our voices be heard, that we will no longer shop at these stores that do not put America first.
Bed Bath and Beyond, Kohl’s and Kroger…how could you support the Communist Chinese Party over American made products. We are calling on all citizens to let you voices be heard. Start pushing back!!!

Bed Bath and Beyond, Kohl’s and Kroger cancel American made “My Pillow” because of Mike Lindell’s beliefs but sell loads of merchandise from Communist China.  See THREE EMAILS prepared below one to send to each company.Bed Bath and Beyond, Kohl’s and Kroger stopped selling American manufactured My Pillow because of the owner’s political beliefs. But ALL THREE companies are major retailers of products made in Communist China. Consider these three articles: BED BATH AND BEYOND: Thestreet.com headline: Bed Bath & Beyond Plunges 21% After Slashing Sales Forecast on China Tariffs. The article states in part: Bed Bath and Beyond Inc. (BBBY) – Get Report shares plunged Thursday after the struggling home retailer posted much-weaker-than-expected second quarter earnings and cited the impact of trade tariffs on China-made goods as it slashed its sales and profit target for the rest of the year. KOHL’S: Supplytraindive.com headline: Kohl’s prepares for diminishing gross margins amid tariff hike. The article states in part: Kohl’s lowered its outlook for gross margin rate by 20 to 30 basis points for the year due to the tariff hike from 10% to 25% on $200 billion worth of goods from China, executives told analysts on the retailer’s first quarter earnings call. “That increase wasn’t contemplated when we first put out our guidance,” said CEO Michelle Gass. “China is not our largest source of merchandise, but it is a big one,” CFO Bruce Besanko said on the call. He said the retailer sources just over 20% of its goods from China. KROGER: Reuters headline: Kroger partners with Alibaba in China grocery sales venture. The article states in part: Kroger Co KR.N has partnered with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd BABA.N to sell nuts, supplements and other products in China, venturing outside the United States for the first time in what is fast becoming a fierce global battle to dominate online grocery sales. Bed Bath and Beyond, Kohl’s and Kroger find Mike Lindell’s freedom of speech and political beliefs offensive enough to drop My Pillow which is “Made in America” but appears to have no problem with Communist China’s tyrannical treatment of its citizens including the 1 million Uighurs that have been forcibly detained by the Chinese government in a widespread network of prison like facilities. Bed Bath and Beyond, Kohl’s and Kroger are so deeply troubled by Mike Lindell’s constitutionally protected speech that it cancels business relations with him but these companies do not react the same way regarding its products made in Communist China which imprison citizens if they express a political opinion different from the party. There is no First Amendment free speech in China. Bed Bath and Beyond, Kohl’s and Kroger’s un-American freedom denying reaction to Mike Lindell is incomprehensible considering these companies’ trade with Communist China.
