In 2013, Schultz declared Starbucks' U.S. stores gun-free zones -- which resulted in gun-rights activists intentionally bringing firearms to stores during a "Bring Your Gun to Starbucks Day" organized across social media.

But while the Waltons didn’t get much ideological bang for their bucks, they didn’t walk away with nothing to show for the millions of dollars they threw at Johnson.
Trump to me looks and sounds like the firmest of three turds. In 2012, the California Fair Political Practices Commission (CFPPC), a panel charged with enforcing state financial disclosure laws, found that Johnson hadTo settle the case, Johnson agreed to pay a fine of $37,500, the largest penalty ever handed down to a public official in the state for non-disclosure violations. He knows what it’s like to be an underdog: He spent the 1980s running the biggest minority-owned bond firm in the United States, and says that he was always made aware of his outsider status by members of Wall Street’s old boys network.“You can Google me and you might think I’m a bad guy,” says Grigsby, who was indicted in 1996 on charges related to his firm’sAt 70 years old, the chance to play David to Johnson and Ballard Spahr’s Goliath only made Grigsby want the job more. His mayoralty will even soon be the subject of aThe scandals didn’t much matter in 2008, when he easily won election in the face of credible accusations that he’d molested teenage girls, defrauded the federal government of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and lorded over an empire of slum holdings. As Mayor he goes into the Corrupt Hall of Fame next to Richard Daley. It’s just not an entity that somebody should take over just to sell charter schools. Slamming Trump will get you no where except the unemployment line. Another reason Trump, Carson and Fiorina are doing well—this is the type of Democrat Republican “leadership” supports.It isn’t hard to see why nothing bad has ever quite touched Kevin Johnson, mayor of Sacramento, Calif., even as he’s authored a long series of Johnson is a youngish, attractive Democrat with a reputation as a national leader on education issues, a gift for making powerful friends, and a superficially impressive background—UC Berkeley, a long run as a top NBA star, a successful business career. For anybody wishing for the NCBM’s permanent demise, as Johnson and Ballard Spahr surely are—Ballard Spahr is also serving as legal counsel for AAMA, Johnson’s vanity project—that’s the best case scenario.“I mean, it would be funny,” says Grigsby, “if it was funny.”Meanwhile, Russell Patterson, a Georgia attorney serving as co-counsel with Ballard Spahr for the trustee in the NCBM bankruptcy case, says Johnson’s work is almost done.Grigsby swears the NCBM ain’t dead yet. In 2013, Johnson successfully lobbied the city council toJohnson, who as mayor is also a voting member of the city council, had been asked by political watchdogsWhat’s now becoming clear is the way various Johnson scandals connect and feed off of one other. He has also served as a guest host on radio talk shows. His interaction with prominent business leaders, as well as his own leadership experiences, have provided Jackson a real-world perspective to understanding American political and social issues, and led him to speak candidly about race and politics in America. Where is our leader?”“Where is our compassionate leader who’s going to step up to our country who’s down on its knees, and extend a hand and say, ‘You stand up, stand up with me because I got you. “You can feel it across our country. He scoffs at their claims that all the billable hours its lawyers have worked on NCBM matters have been for free, and is very aware that Ballard Spahr boasts about its“Who believes this is pro bono?” he says, with a giggle. One example: Among the emails Johnson and Ballard Spahr put on their privilege log is one sent out to the coup team on Sept. 10, 2013, with the subject “Birmingham prep.” That comes from Johnson’s appearance in Alabama during the commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the 16th St. Church bombing.
