Ok, friends. You asked for it so here you go. As Democrats have forced us into a country divided, many of you have asked me what companies support conservative principles.

I’m looking for basic healthcare brands that are conservative for soap/shampoo/conditioner to switch to. Also, shaving razors. Just basics! I’m ready to put my money behind co derivative or neutral companies, and no longer want to blindly support socialism with my purchasing dollars. Any ideas? Thanks!

Kohl’s banned Mike Lindell’s pillow products. I wont shop there anymore.

Thank you for this list. I’ll be sure not to buy from them.
