Walmart Gives Anti-Pride Activists The Middle Finger – Refuses To Pull LGBTQ Merchandise

After anti-LBGTQ bigots started boycotts of Bud Light, Kohl’s, and Target for daring to express their support for LGBTQ equality and Pride Month, many other corporations were worried they might be next.

But the largest retailer in the country, Walmart, is making it clear they won’t be intimidated by bigots and homophobes, letting the world know they will not be pulling any of their Pride Month merchandise for anyone and no matter the consequences.

Yes, Walmart.

Reuters reports that Walmart isn’t about to be intimidated and isn’t making any concessions to bullies.

Walmart on Wednesday said it has not made any changes to its LGBTQ-related merchandise tied to Pride Month, or to security measures in place at its stores, a week after rival Target pulled some LGBTQ-themed products following customer backlash.

“We haven’t changed anything in our assortment,” Latriece Watkins, Walmart’s chief merchandising officer, said.

And if you’re thinking that Walmart doesn’t have to change anything because they don’t offer much in the way of LGBTQ merchandise, consider that they carry “rainbow-adorned flags, clothing and accessories. Its ‘Pride & Joy’ collection includes a $7.98 set of enamel pins with messages such as ‘Be you. Be Proud.’ and ‘You are enough.'”

Watkins also noted that there has been no need to increase security at its stores, many of which are located in deeply red states.

“In this particular case, when we think about security … we have not done anything in particular differently related to security in our stores.”

Online reaction to Walmart’s hardline stance has been muted, and there have been almost no calls for a boycott of the retailer. Kind of makes you wonder why the haters have chosen to exclude Walmart.

Fox News Lies GOP Kevin McCarthy

Kevin McCarthy Calls Out Maria Bartiromo For Lying: ‘You’re Saying Things That Are Not True’

We saw something today that millions of us never thought possible: A high-ranking Republican member of Congress went on Fox and actually told the host that she was lying about what she said.

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was a guest on “Sunday Morning Futures” when the host, Maria Bartiromo, began criticizing him for the debt ceiling bill President Joe Biden signed on Saturday.

“I want to go through some of the criticism of this bill because some people say it really was different,” she whined, complaining that the bill failed to eliminate funding for 87,000 new IRS agents. She also noted that she was upset the GOP didn’t get work requirements for Medicaid recipients.

But McCarthy was having none of it, telling Bartiromo, “Well, that’s not true, Maria. Maria, Maria, you’re saying things that are not true.”

“We repealed the 1.4 billion they would spend on hiring new [IRS] agents this year, so no new agents are being hired,” he added. “This is scored as the largest cut.”

McCarthy also bragged that he was proud of the fact that both Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) voted against the final debt ceiling package.

“Did we get it in everything?” he added. “No, but we got [work requirements] in welfare that puts people back to work, the core of what we looked for.”

A clearly annoyed Bartiromo retorted, “To be clear, the bulk of that money is still in the bill that the president signed.”

“OK, Maria, Maria, pause for one moment,” McCarthy explained. “Maria, pause for one moment. That was already in law. We do not have the Senate. We do not have the presidency. But we just stopped them from hiring any IRS agents.”

How does a Fox host know she’s a lying liar? When then top House Republican tells her to her face.

Mary Trump Lays Out How Donald’s GOP Primary Opponents Can ‘Humiliate’ Him During A Debate

Mary Trump, the niece of twice-impeached former president Donald Trump, said Sunday she has some free advice for Republicans who want to best her uncle in the upcoming GOP primary debates: Go for the jugular and find ways to “humiliate” the failed one-term ex-POTUS.

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Katie Phang Show” Sunday, Mary said she didn’t understand why her uncle’s political opponents haven’t already gone the low road to destroy Donald.

“Again, I think it’s because they’re restrained by their fear of his stranglehold on the base — I guess they should be,” she explained “You know, if they were serious people, they would understand that they have a huge opportunity to take Donald out without having to contradict him in terms of policy as if there is such a thing these days or politics.”

“Just call him what he is: he is a loser, he loses constantly, he has never legitimately won anything in his life,” she continued. “He is a thin-skinned baby who has nothing to offer but white grievance.”

She then recalled a scene from Donald Trump’s youth that she said someone needs to say to his face.

“If I were one of these candidates, I would simply show up to a debate with a bowl of mashed potatoes because that was his very first experience of humiliation was when he was being a total brat before my grandmother put dinner on the table,” she explained. “My dad had just ordered to shut him up and stop him from tormenting his little brother Robert. Took a bowl of mashed potatoes, dumped it on Donald’s head.”

“He hates that story,” she told Phang. “He has never been able to laugh at himself in a healthy way. It’s really not difficult to get under that extraordinarily thin skin of his.”

Donald Trump Jr. Social Media WTF?!

Twitter Users Collectively Puke After Kimberly Guilfoyle Reveals That Don Jr. Is ‘Big And Hairy’

Kimberly Guilfoyle — the disgraced former Fox News host who was dumped by the network for allegedly engaging in sexually harassment of a female co-worker — is now hawking sheets online, trying to grift as much cash as possible before her future father-in-law, Donald Trump, is locked up for the rest of his life.

Guilfoyle is also engaged to Donald Trump Jr., who was reportedly sleeping around on the mother of his five children while still married.

But something Guilfoyle said about the sheets she’s pushing has revolted many Twitter users.

During her sheet pitch, Guilfoyle remarked, “And the bedding is temperature regulating, so you sleep just right. It is literally on our bed.”

She added, “We have these sheets.They’re fantastic.”

“They keep just the right temperature. Don’t you hate it when you get like a hot bed, and you got to kick a leg out?”

But it was the next lines from Guilfoyle that set off internet revulsion:

“And you know, to share a bed with Don Jr. is like a big guy and like hairy. So you have to have the Cozy Earth sheets.”

“I’m telling you,” she added. “All right. So I have been a longtime Cozy Earth customer, as I said.”

Argh! Too much information! Must bleach my brain immediately to remove the horrific images!!

Twitter, do your thing.
