Stop the fake news

January 29, 2021 by Guest Post

To the folks of the “family owned” Kodiak Jax restaurant in Stevensville- shame on you. I am disgusted by your use of your exterior signage to spout mean-spirited political nonsense. . Can you please stop publicly participating in the fake news that is causing so much harm to us all. You are fomenting the terrible divide in our country I will continue to tell every single person I know to join me in never giving you one penny of my business, You are such an embarrassment, Please, knock it off!

M.I Holt

    It’s a private business and has a right to post their opinion. But as Americans, we also have that right to disagree with those opinions and to let others know that we disagree. Try to do some research to find the truth about your views, and the opinions of others online, etc.

    I suppose the 1st amendment right to free speech should just be abolished except for certain people.

    But not on my watch.

    As a veteran, as a citizen of this country I will work to protect Cody’s rights, and even your’s Devlin.

    Too bad you think God Given Rights only apply to certain people.

    I so totally agree with you. Cody is just continuing his diatribe of hate and division. I’ve asked him to stop. His like minded patrons defend his stance and his restaurants in Stevensville (Kodiak Jax and CJ’s) are always packed. He’s also an anti masker
    Sad to see such hate and support of it

    Everything the owner of kodiak Jax has posted on the front sign is 100% true. So if you don’t like the truth then don’t read the sign. You should be watching the road anyway! Just for your information Biden doesn’t give a [expletive deleted -editor] about you or America! So keep watching fake news and continue being one of the governments sheep.

    Oh, I am thrilled to see them post the truth. Anything we say or post is said to be nonsense only because it is contrary to their views. I will frequent their business often.

    The owner of Kodiak Jax has every right to post his feelings on HIS billboard, in front of HIS business. We are all accorded the right of free speech in this country, via the Constitution of the United States. If M.I. Holt disagrees, they don’t have to read the billboard, and they can eat at any restaurant they choose. I will be continuing to eat at Kodiak Jax, and C.J.’s in Stevensville.
