Ex-Target Executive Reveals the ‘One
Item’ That Sparked Boycott Calls

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 6/5/2023 3:09:58 PM

A former Target executive claimed that there was one item that sparked widespread boycott calls against the big box chain. Former Target Vice Chairman Gerald Storch said in a Sunday interview with Fox News that a number of retailers, including Target, have sold pro-LGBT merchandise over the past several years and claimed that “everybody carries that stuff.” (snip)Target appeared to go a step further this year by carrying a “tuck swimsuit” that targets transgender people. In mid-May, conservative commentators made note of the swimsuit and claimed that it was being marketed for children, but Target officials (snip)said that the item was only sold for adults.

Comments:

They just don’t get it. They have chosen their favored clientele.

When more people realize that Target is supporting organizations that call for disabling our military and the takeover of Mt. Rushmore, the company could lose even more customers.

Having never tucked, I am confused. By bunching things up in that area, wouldn't sitting squash some stuff?

It wasn’t the swimsuit, idiot. It was that the entire display was aimed at children. Leave them alone.

Target announcement in 2016: "In our stores, we demonstrate our commitment to an inclusive experience in many ways. Most relevant for the conversations currently underway, we welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity." Never having had an interest in dangerous "inclusive experiences" like sharing bathrooms with grown men, I stopped shopping at Target years ago. Who are the customers for female bathing suits "adapted" for men? What is the purpose of the adaptation?

I guess this lying creep doesn't think the children's shirts designed by the transgender Satanist hired by Target to design children's clothing had anything to do with the boycott.

FTA: Target officials pushed back and said that the item was only sold for adults. Technically correct. But 'adults' is a general term. 'Groomers' is the more specific one.

Didn't they ever hear the expression, "Discretion is the better part of valor"? They didn't need to make a huge deal about carrying the garment. But, they had to go full bore and hack off a lot of people.

And for precisely that reason, the Ukrainian government has considered destroying it. In December, the Washington Post quoted a Ukrainian general saying his men had fired American made rockets at the dam’s floodgate as a test strike. So really, once the facts start coming in, it becomes much less of a mystery what might have happened to the dam.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said it will take up the European Union’s digital COVID-19 vaccine passport framework as part of a new global network of digital health certificates. The WHO said in a June 5 statement that it had entered into a “landmark digital health partnership” with the European Commission (EC), the European Union’s executive body. As part of this new joint venture, Europe’s existing framework of digital vaccine passports will serve as the first building block of a global network of digital health products.

The big news today, of course, is the destruction of the very large Kakhovka Dam, which is located on the major Dnieper river near the Zaporozhiye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP).

There are major population areas downstream that are being evacuated. (snip) I’ve seen discussion of the likelihood that one side or the other might blow the dam.

After repeatedly failing to overturn Biden administration regulations in existing legislation, House Republicans are taking the next steps in their attempt to exert authority over the administrative state. Lawmakers discussed a series of bills intended to reach those ends during a June 5 Rules Committee hearing. “The Constitution articulates where the laws are made. It’s here in Congress,” said Committee Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.) in his opening remarks. Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Pa.), by contrast, said the proposals show that the House Republican majority “once again prioritizes right-wing culture wars over the American people.” Right-leaning ideology prioritizes individual liberty over the government intervention preferred by the left.

This doesn’t take any commentary to understand. President Trump is beating Ron DeSantis in the state that knows the Florida Governor best. Trump 52.5%, DeSantis 32.6%. This should be embarrassing for Ron and Jill ‘Casey’ DeSantis, but their hubris will just ignore it.

You may have heard recently that most adults—80%—are not getting boosted with mRNA injections. The CDC is recommending that everyone get shot up, while admitting that duration of supposed “effectiveness” isn’t great: Most US adults are declining COVID boosters as CDC warns of health risks: 'Relatively little protection' Hospitalization risk exists as only 20% of US adults receive booster dose: ‘Uptake has been quite low’ The claim, as usual, is that these injections offer protection against the most severe outcomes. Interestingly, the CDC conducted a self-experiment—unintentionally. I’m guessing they didn’t expect this outcome:

John Kirby, National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, denied on Monday the Biden family’s business schemes represent a national security threat despite admitting he had not read the House Oversight Committee report on the matter. In May, the House Oversight Committee’s probe found the Biden family business over the course of several years received at least $10 million from business schemes in Romania and China in return for what appears to be influence peddling. In total, nine Biden family members received payments from the family foreign business ventures, including two of Joe Biden’s grandchildren, the investigation revealed.

On paper, has there ever been a more qualified candidate for president than Mike Pence? Twelve years in the House of Representatives, four as governor of Indiana, and four as vice president of the United States. No president in at least the last 30 years has come to office with that kind of resume. And yet Pence, who this week becomes a candidate for the 2024 Republican nomination, is in a nearly impossible situation. Or maybe a totally impossible situation. And it all traces back to his four years with President Donald Trump in the White House — the period that should have set him up

America! The land of the free. A place for second chances. But if you’re a foreigner who wants to keep basking in the aforementioned freedom, the one thing you probably shouldn’t do is write about your excessive drug use in a memoir when you’re on a visa. That’s the mistake made by Prince Harry, who now faces legal action that could end with his deportation back to Britain. You’d think a royal armed with the best schooling (and lawyers) money can buy would know that. But as is clear from Prince Harry’s latest debacle, hundreds of thousands of the finest British pounds in tuition will only get you so far.

Faye the swan was a beloved figure in Manlius, New York, as she plied the town ponds with her cygnets in tow. Her lineage has delighted residents since 1905. But to three refugee teens, she looked like a meal.One day she was simply gone, and once her disappearance was noticed, tips flooded in to police and they eventually arrested 18-year-old Eman Hussan of Syracuse, New York, and two minors, aged 16 and 17, all of whom are natives of Myanmar and attend high school in the area. They had killed the beauty—who did not fight back because she was nesting—and took it home, where they and their families ate it.
