Nearly every Target in San Francisco — except for the one at Stonestown — has cut its operating hours to 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. That inflexibility makes it tough for the average nine-to-five, full-time worker to make a Target run on weekdays after work, let alone other individuals affected by constraints of time, access or ability to do some everyday shopping. It's unclear when these cut hours were rolled out. The reduced hours ignited concerns on Reddit over an uptick in retail theft and labor shortages hitting San Francisco Targets. After all, one Target in San Francisco — the...

<p>It’s June (only for a few more days, thankfully) and Pride month is still not over. Just when you thought we’d get out of it without a major head/desk moment, the NFL decided to join the rainbow bandwagon with this stunning and brave video ad claiming, among other things, that “football is gay.” We always knew football pants were unnecessarily tight—not that I’m complaining. This hit the airwaves at the same time every other corporation in America is pandering to LGBTQWTFery, giving it absolutely no consequence at all (except perhaps turning off its mostly heterosexual male audience).</p>

It wasn’t all that long ago when a story like this was off-the-charts shocking. That is no longer the case. Similar stories now make the news on a regular basis with nary a jaw dropped. The question is, what does the lack of widespread outrage say and about whom?In celebration of Pride Month, the Fairfax Public Library in Virginia invited “school-age children,” “preschoolers,” and “babies and toddlers” to the library’s “Drag StoryBook Hour” scheduled for Saturday, June 26. Babies and toddlers.The Fairfax Republican Party made its feelings known in a Friday morning tweet.OUTRAGEOUS: @FairfaxLibrary has targeted their “all ages” “Drag...

Thousands took part in Jerusalem's Gay Pride march Thursday under heavy security over fears of violence and a year after most of the globe's Pride events were called off due to the coronavirus pandemic. Some 3,000 police officers lined the route as marchers waved rainbow flags, placards and balloons, and several streets were blocked off and a helicopter circled over the city centre. ...

A handful of days into this rainbow deluge, the air of LGBT pride is so suffocating that people could choke. It's plastered across social media, corporate logos, cereal boxes, even big box stores' pandering displays. This month, fans can't even go to a San Francisco Giants game without being bombarded with the league's first Pride-color uniforms. But one place conservatives thought they were safe from all this nonsense was the Republican National Committee. Turns out, their chairwoman is just as happy as anyone to pull on the LGBT jersey. It wasn't the smartest thing RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has ever...

It’s June, which means everywhere you turn, you’ll find corporate America openly celebrating and promoting “Pride Month.” Every logo suddenly finds a rainbow, and many companies seem eager to promote the forced acceptance and celebration of debauchery and hedonistic sexual ethics and the continued, ongoing destruction of our Christian heritage and end of basic American values. It wasn’t all that long ago that “family friendly” Corporate America promoted morality and even Christian ethics in its advertising – even Seattle-based Alaska Airlines used to offer a note of scripture alongside its in-flight breakfast. But those days seem long gone for most...

After openly declaring on Instagram Thursday that it would be staging a ‘Pride Riot,’ a group of left-wing thugs took to the streets of New York and brazenly broke a restaurant window, cutting a female patron. “Stonewall was a Riot! Pride is a Riot! Pride needs to center Black Trans and Queer People, Culture and Joy. This is not an ask but a declaration of what we will be doing in and off the streets,” the Instagram post said, adding, “Our visibility is not up for debate and any form of policing or oppression against Black People will be dismantled...

When my children were under five and underfoot, I would occasionally use the original Blue’s Clues as a babysitter. It was safe, sweet show for little ones, who watched Blue give Steve clues about finding a scarf or apple. The 21st-century reboot, Blue’s Clues & You, is a whole new ballgame. Based on its latest video – The Blue’s Clues Pride Parade sing-along featuring Nina West -- it’s a babysitter if your sitter is a sex fiend.Gay Pride (which celebrates a gazillion non-normative sexual orientations and “identities”) is an inappropriate topic for preschoolers. The only thing that distinguishes LGBTQers from...

The Giants announced Tuesday they will become the first MLB team to incorporate Pride Month colors for the on-field hats and jerseys to honor the LGBTQ+ community. Pride Month hats and jerseys will be worn Saturday June 5 when the Giants play the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. The Giants' home jersey will feature a SF patch on the right sleeve that features the 11 colors of the new Pride logo. Their hats will have the same 11 colors -- red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, brown, light blue, pink and white -- inside their SF logo.

June is Pride Month and an illegal flag displayed outside of Pennsylvania Capitol on Tuesday marked the occasion. Lt. Gov. John Fetterman chose to mark the beginning of this month celebrating LGBTQ culture and rights by once again, displaying a Pride flag on the balcony of his state Capitol office, despite knowing a law exists prohibiting it. A law passed in 2020 bars the display of any flag other than the American, Pennsylvania or POW/MIA flags on the exterior of the Pennsylvania Capitol. ”The LGBTQIA+ flags that I fly from my office are technically breaking a law,” he said in...

If your approach to parenting in our post-sexual revolution hellscape isn’t what Antoine Dodson famously called for, you need to wake up, because they raping everybody out here. A clip of a “Blue’s Clues” song celebrating Masturbation and Genital Amputation Month went viral over the weekend heading into June. “Blue’s Clues” also released an episode in May celebrating LGBT identification. “Blue’s Clues” is a long-running preschool TV show that has played on Nickelodeon Jr. since 1996. “Blue’s Clues became the highest-rated show for preschoolers on American commercial television and was critical to Nickelodeon’s growth,” Wikipedia says. The lyrics of its...

BILLUND, DENMARK—Hot on the heels of the company's new "Everyone is Awesome" playset and genderless blocks without male or female connectors, the LEGO group revealed its commemorative Pride Month playset: a new Sodom and Gomorrah set. The entirely flammable, destructible set includes dozens of pagan minifigs plus a bonus Lot and his wife, who is, of course, a pillar of salt. Children can press a button on the set and the whole thing explodes in flames, and they can even participate in the carnage using the included brimstone launcher. "Hooray! The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against...

The iconic card game UNO has partnered with the It Gets Better Project on a version called Play with Pride to support LGBTQ+ youth. “UNO’s mission is to bring people together, and through the UNO Play with Pride deck, the brand is celebrating inclusivity with the LGBTQ+ community with this Pride edition of UNO.

The most jarring fact about New York’s Pride March this year was how perfectly it blended into the surrounding ambience and structures of a hyper-commercialised American megalopolis. There were plenty of freaky sights, to be sure. But from my vantage point – I parked myself at the swanky bar of the Roger Hotel at the corner of Madison and 31st to observe the festivities – the march appeared remarkably… domesticated. This is a painful reality to the most woke among the LGBTQ activists, who detest corporate-friendly “rainbow capitalism”. But I’m afraid the more corporate-friendly side of the movement has the...

This weekend is the 50th anniversary of the “Stonewall Uprising.” The violent street demonstrations resulting from the NYC police crackdown on the gay-lesbian-transvestite underground Stonewall bar in Greenwich Village on June 27, 1969 for public behavior that was then illegal in 49 states is credited with kicking off the homosexual rights movement. The event is currently being celebrated in mainstream news accounts, nation- and world-wide commemorations, and corporate advertising that is treating Stonewall much like like Rosa Parks’s refusal to go to the back of the bus in Birmingham, Ala. In 1955.Seasoned journalist Celia Farber, however, is calling attention at...

The inescapable onslaught inundates Americans regardless of whether they agree with the progressive LGBTQIA+ zeitgeist or hold to biblical values.Governors hoist pride flags at their state capitols while politicians peddle pride-themed merchandise on their campaign websites. Advertisements champion the LGBT cause and social media profiles transform into rainbow reminders that the corporate world supports the cultural revolution.Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T’s Twitter accounts all sport rainbow variants of their company logos.Underneath...

Today the country celebrates Pride with its symbol, the rainbow. The rainbow generally follows the dark clouds: when colour and light once more break through; much like the history of Pride itself. This weekend also marks the 50th anniversary of a police raid on the Stonewall Inn. Its brutality sparked riots that energised the fight for gay equality in the US. The stand taken and the refusal to be beaten down is said to have been the catalyst for the modern gay-rights movement. If today people of the same sex can walk hand in hand without comment, it might too...

The diversity enforcers at Netflix has decided that viewers haven’t been hammered with enough LGBTQIA+ representation. Apparently, last year’s 53 shows with LGBT characters weren’t enough. To remedy this gross inequity, Netflix signed a major deal with transgender activist Janet Mock yesterday. Mock -- director, writer, and producer of FX’s Pose -- has been given a three-year multimillion-dollar pact that gives her the power to develop and call creative shots for new shows at the largest streaming service. According to Variety:
