Evidence (2017-02-24): Not About Jesus: The Truth Behind Chick-fil-A's Sunday Policy "Thou shalt not eat Chick-fil-A on Sunday." [...] In our current politically charged climate -- where major brands are forced to either shut the heck up or choose a side, stick with it, and suffer through boycotts and backlash -- Chick-fil-A has always veered to the right, even if it's "unofficially." And the company's late founder, Truett Cathy -- a noted and oft-outspoken Christian -- implemented the policy in question himself: Chick-fil-A has never been open on Sunday, and never will be. [...] Chick-fil-A franchises have been known to open on Sundays for altruistic endeavors like feeding first responders during natural disasters, for example. But perhaps the most notable example of specific stores choosing to "open" on Sundays to donate food happened in the wake of the Orlando Pulse nightclub shootings. Multiple Orlando locations made national news by opening on a Sunday to help feed those who donated blood after the mass-shooting.

Evidence (2023-12-23): New York politicians are considering a bill that would require some future restaurants in highway rest stops to stay open seven days per week—including Chick-fil-A, which is famously closed on Sundays—attracting harsh criticism from conservatives and a declaration of "war" from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). [...] However, Graham took umbrage with the proposed legislation, threatening in a post on X to withhold federal funds from "any city or state that requires @ChickfilA to stay open on Sunday." [...] Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy, a conservative Christian, instituted the Sunday closure rule at his restaurants in 1946. According to the company, the policy remains to this day in order to allow employees to "set aside one day to rest, enjoy time with their families and loved ones or and worship if they choose." Over the years, Chick-fil-A’s connections to Christian values and causes has drawn criticism from liberals and praise from conservatives. The restaurant chain has faced boycotts and protests over its owners’ ties to anti-LGBTQ organizations, but the company promised to end donations to these organizations in 2019.

Evidence (2023-08-18): Per the company's website, Chick-fil-A has been closed on Sundays since the late S. Truett Cathy opened his first restaurant in Georgia in 1946. [...] Chick-fil-A has made its stance on Sundays crystal-clear over the years. In theory, Chick-fil-A could be making more money if its restaurants stayed open on Sundays, but that hasn't influenced the powers-that-be to change their stance on Sunday closures.

Evidence (2020-12-05): Business Insider reported on the late Sunday evening opening, writing that "Chick-fil-A broke from tradition and opened on a Sunday — and there's an incredible backstory." [...] Chick-fil-A is not open on Sunday because of the founder's religious beliefs. But on this Sunday, Chick-fil-A employees "immediately mobilized," Hannah said, making sandwiches and delivering them to an emergency operations center to be distributed to stranded passengers. Hannah also said that Chick-fil-A does "open occasionally to serve communities in need," which meant that this wasn't the first time a Chick-fil-A location opened on a Sunday. The company explained its policy and detailed previous Sunday openings on the Chick-fil-A website:

Evidence (2020-06-19): No, Chick-fil-A isn’t opening its restaurants on Sundays just for Black people [...] The image shared on Instagram looks like a Chick-fil-A store with a new sign that says "Now Open Sunday (Blacks Only)." The post says company CEO Dan Cathy "announced yesterday that his fast-food restaurant will be ending its long-standing policy on Sunday closure, but only for black people." It goes on to quote Cathy as saying: "Everyone knows the best way to achieve racial reconciliation is to segregate black people and make them feel as awkward as possible. Chick-fil-A is dedicated to providing the blacks with a safe space so that they can be properly honored."

Evidence (2024-01-01): Our founder, S. Truett Cathy, made the decision to close on Sundays in 1946. He knew what it was like to work seven days a week in restaurants, so he saw the importance of letting his employees set aside one day to rest and worship if they choose. That’s a practice we still uphold today.

Evidence (2019-08-20): Becky Carman: The worst thing about Chick-fil-A is their well-documented discriminatory corporate practices. The second-worst thing about Chick-fil-A is people who make capitalist compromises in nearly every other facet of their lives using a fast food chain as their virtue line of demarcation. The third-worst thing about Chick-fil-A, if I’m able to isolate a singular customer experience from the company’s aforementioned discriminatory corporate practices, is when someone working grueling shifts for near-minimum wage says, "My pleasure!" as they hand me my food. It’s creepy, and it’s a lie, and there is no situation I can think of where I want someone to lie to me in a creepy way.

Evidence (2012-07-31): Meanwhile, what about anyone else not living according to Mr. Cathy’s reading of the Bible? If someone works on Sunday, should they be denied service at Chick-fil-A during the week? Mr. Cathy believes in one marriage for life: saying of his company, "we are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives." What about those who failed at their first marriage and are now working on wife number two, three or four? What if you are a liar, can you go to Chick-fil-A to have your perverse tongue cut-out? In Leviticus it says touching the skin of a pig makes one unclean. Should football players who love to toss the pigskin around be denied service? Or is it okay to play football only at the Chick-fil-A Bowl because that game starts with an invocation? [...] 4. A dangerous game of chickenThe majority of Chick-fil-A’s 1,600 restaurants are located in the Bible belt. I happen to like the fact that they are all closed on Sundays. Mr. Cathy I am sure spends his Sundays much in the way I spend mine: with family. And no matter what rights Mr. Cathy might want to deny my friends and family, his type of bigotry will not change who I am, who I love and even what I eat. Who knew a simple chicken sandwich could be so complicated.

Evidence (2021-02-03): Now a story about that people staying up all night hoping for nothing more than a chicken sandwich. When the change Chick-Fil-A opens a new store, they encourage people to line up 24 hours ahead of time, at 6 AM the day before. And for 100 people who do that, Chick-Fil-A gives away coupons for a year of Chick-Fil-A. One combo meal per week. 52 coupons, which is worth, if you add it up, 260 bucks.

Evidence (2019-11-08): Chick-fil-A’s political record meant many were ready to back Popeyes, which is clearly going after Chick-fil-A’s market share. Their sandwich is remarkably similar, right down to the wrapper. The two companies threw shade at each other on Twitter. In a new ad last week, Popeyes even trolled Chick-fil-A’s famous decision to remain closed on Sundays for church. [...] Corporations use wokeness like they use blackness and everything else: to them it’s a commodity, to be used if it helps turn a profit and discarded if it does not. They make a public display of celebrating Black History Month while they funnel dollars to politicians who dismantle the hard-fought victory of the heroes they pay tribute to. CEOs take selfies with pink breast-cancer-awareness ribbons while they continue to encourage a work culture that denigrates and endangers women. They sponsor elaborate Pride floats and then give money to politicians on the other side of progress for LGBTQ people around the world. Companies like Chick-fil-A which are open about their prejudices are easy to hate. But companies that try to hide their misdeeds behind a veneer of justice are in some ways worse.

Evidence (2020-06-20): In September 2015, reports began circulating on social media reporting that Chick-fil-A fast food restaurants were reversing a decades-old policy under which all their locations are closed on Sundays in observance of the sabbath: [...] Our founder, Truett Cathy, made the decision to close on Sundays in 1946 when he opened his first restaurant in Hapeville, Georgia. He has often shared that his decision was as much practical as spiritual. He believes that all franchised Chick-fil-A Operators and their Restaurant employees should have an opportunity to rest, spend time with family and friends, and worship if they choose to do so. That's why all Chick-fil-A Restaurants are closed on Sundays. It's part of our recipe for success. [...] Chick-fil-A has indicated that no plans are afoot to reverse their closed-on-Sunday policy and that claims to the contrary are entirely false. A piece of "satire" from June 2020 spoofed on this notion using a headline of "Chick-fil-A Now Open on Sunday But Only for Black People"
Claim: claims that fast food chain Chick-fil-A will now open on Sundays, but “only for black people.” (Instagram post, 2020-06-19)
Evidence (2018-04-22): What the author really seems angry about is that the company’s CEO opposes same-sex marriage. But the framing of the piece made Christianity the villain, and the headline -- "Chick-fil-A’s Creepy Infiltration of New York City" -- was sufficiently troubling that Nate Silver quickly tweeted "This is why Trump won." Fair point. Religious bigotry is always dangerous. But there’s a deeper problem here, a difficulty endemic to today’s secular left: an all-too-frequent weird refusal to acknowledge the demographics of Christianity. When you mock Christians, you’re not mocking who you think you are. [...] By the way, I stopped by the new Chick-fil-A in lower Manhattan just before I left town the other night (I teach at The King's College about two-plus months a year in two-week seminars). It was crowded, of course, and I would say that the Friday-night clientele was about 75 percent African-American -- about the same as the establishment's staff.

Evidence (2023-09-08): The booking photo was taken on August 24, when Trump was arrested in Fulton County, Georgia, on charges connected to his efforts to overturn his defeat in the state in the 2020 election. [...] Facts First: National public polls do not show anything close to an increase of "four and five times" in Black support for Trump since his mug shot was taken, either in a race against President Joe Biden or in his own favorability rating; Trump’s campaign did not respond to CNN’s request to identify any poll that corroborates Trump’s claim. Most polls conducted after the release of the mug shot did find a higher level of Black support for Trump than he had in previous polls – but the increases were within the polls’ margins of error, not massive spikes, so it’s not clear whether there was a genuine improvement or the bump was just statistical noise. In addition, one poll found a decline in Trump’s strength with Black voters in a race against Biden, while another found a decline in his favorability with Black respondents even as he improved in a race against Biden. [...] One of the five polls, by Emerson College, showed Trump’s standing with Black registered voters worsening after the mug shot was released, though this change was also within the margin of error. In Emerson’s mid-August poll, Trump had about 27% Black support in a race against Biden; in its late-August poll, he had about 19% support.

The paper said his advisers saw the case and vast media attention as "a lucrative campaign ad" and "stimulus for online fundraising". Mr Trump has declared he is running in the 2024 presidential election. [...] "By playing again the broken record that invariably presents him as the victim of a 'witch hunt' and a plot by the 'deep state', Trump is forcing his camp to take his side," the French newspaper wrote in an editorial published last week and promoted again after his arrest. [...] Pro-Kremlin Russian daily Izvestia, however, instead leads its coverage of Mr Trump's arrest with quotes from Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, who called the arrest "the crisis of liberalism". "This is when the system, which is declared as absolutely free, ends up devouring or denying itself," she said.

Evidence (2024-01-01): Quote by Winston Churchill [...] This quote emphasizes that courage is not only displayed through bold action and speaking up, but also through the ability to listen and be receptive.

However, true courage also lies in the willingness to sit down and listen openly to the perspectives of others, even when they may differ from our own. It highlights the importance of humility, understanding, and empathy in engaging in constructive dialogue and fostering mutual growth and respect.
