Goya board silences its CEO after he tells Fox News the election was rigged

Source: CNN Business:

New York (CNN Business) -- Goya's board of directors had enough of CEO Robert Unanue's public comments in support of former President Donald Trump and his unfounded claims of voter fraud. On Friday, it voted to muzzle him.

The board of the privately held Latino food company voted to censure Unanue, following his most recent controversial remarks that questioned the legitimacy of the November election, according to a person familiar with the board's actions, who spoke to CNN on the condition that their name not be used.

Unanue will no longer be allowed to speak to the media without the board's permission, the source said. The decision was first reported by the New York Post Monday evening.

The source said this is a "full stop" on Unanue speaking to the press, not only about politics, but also about the company itself.

A majority of Goya shareholders favor removing Unanue altogether but have been prevented from doing so by the dynamics of the family-controlled company, according to the source.

"The company has never been political or politicized," said the source. "He's gone from bad CEO to CEO that has imperiled the future of the company and endangered the lives of some of the shareholders," the source said in reference to some Unanue family members having allegedly received threats because of the CEO's comments.

More news will come out, because Donald Trump is out. (an opinion)

..Trump is no longer President, and he cannot use that power against opponents and people who want to tell
the truth. Because of his history, what he has done, and how and why Trump has treated many people, many will now come forward, because Trump is gone. That is my opinion, and we will now see the truth from those who
were afraid to speak because of his position as President of the United States.. Yes, I do think a whole lot
more will come out about Trump's abuse of his office, abuse of his power, and what he did..
...Clearly, Trump is the main person who thought he could..."get away with it, and have no consequences."
As we will see in the not too distant future, on this like many other issues, Trump was and is.." totally wrong."
Yes, I think the entire story will come out, and Donald Trump doesn't have a clue. Much of his total hate
and stupidity will now come out from people who heard and saw it as it happened. And those people who
tell their stories will be telling the truth.
...Now, Trump's power is limited to fight back against his opponents, and is so much less than before. Yes, I do believe a whole lot more will come out about Trump, and that will take some time. The show about what Trump did against our country is far from over in my opinion.

Time to admit that I make mistakes on posts...All Kinds Of Mistakes .....???

Typing Mistakes, Spelling Errors, Paragraph Formation, Capitalization, and Punctuation Mistakes too...
You name it, I make mistakes on the posts.....What should I do.............????????????

...When I was a young lad of 5 or I learned to write with a pencil. I also made lots and lots of mistakes,
but with the pencil, there was an instant solution not far away from my friend....the pencil, the eraser.
Eraser my friend was usually attached to the pencil and was not lost. For me, it was right there,
and the eraser became a better friend than the pencil ...I used it often and it was easy to use.....
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Now...I have been upgraded to a computer. Often I still make mistakes,,,but it is harder to correct..Why
harder??...I have to look at the keyboard for the ...Backspace Key...

That key is...on the computer keyboard, but I have not memorized the place like I have the other keys..
Sometimes, I have to look for that one, and get it mixed up with the ..Enter Key or the
"Cap Lock"... Key or the Plus Key ++++...see I did it again...

I guess that life is still a challenge, and I should never give up. Why not give up??..I have read that
I am not the only one who makes.......MISTAKES.......
?.....is that correct?..... ....
I read somewhere that the last person who was president...was a total mistake, and also, I read
that many out there miss our friend the ....eraser....when we write with...a pen...........
...Do people still do that ???....Do pens have erasers NOW..???? Oh NO!!!...Time to hide again..

Well..I tried again. .It isn't a sin to try again, but I should go back to wave a flag with an old rag..

It was an .....ATTEMPT AT HUMOR........oh well....isn't that swell, and I will ring a bell...

How could a Michigan man beat a police officer and think he could get away with it?

https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/metro-detroit-man-charged-in-assault-of-police-officer-with-hockey-stick-during-capitol-riot

....Hit the link above and there is story with pictures. This occurred in Washington D.C. in bright daylight where taking pictures is very easy and results will be clear and definite. And, not just one picture, but a series of pictures....

.... Perhaps this fellow believed that he was some "hero" like his hero..But beating
a police officer is against the law and the great majority of us know that. How can this fool defend
himself with those pictures available to all? I guess this person thinks that he is ..."above the law"
as a few others believe. I suspect that he will soon learn otherwise with a good amount of time to
himself and some new friends in a rather ..."closed environment"[./b]

What Are Eating Disorders?

...Eating Disorders are not easy, but we are here to discuss ...food addictions, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, compulsive overeating, as well as body image issues.. If you have some other aspects of an Eating Disorder Problem, then you are welcome to. Another one is total obsession about food, and what to eat and when to eat.
.... Any aspect of food that is bothering you and causes total mental pain, worry and obsession. And
obsession...and definition of that is up to you!!!..We know who we are, and you are welcome here to discuss any aspect of this problem..
....I started going to Overeaters Anonymous 40 years ago, but I had food obsessions long before that...Gain weight, loose weight..gain it again, and lose it again.....
...After a while being in OA. I threw out the scale and found some other worries..At least the worry
and obsession is gone, but I need to say that being at a normal weight, for a very long time, has helped
me to stay alive and reasonably healthy..Had a lot of surgeries, but got thru them all...And it ain't easy. If it were easy, then it would be ...easy..
