Whether it's state legislatures, classrooms, or local Target stores, the controversy surrounding gender and sexuality has been growing -- and companies are starting to feel the heat.
V.F. Corporation (VFC) - Get Free Report subsidiary North Face is the latest company to come under criticism for a promotional event co-hosted by environmental activist Wyn Wiley, better known as drag queen Pattie Gonia. Through Pattie, Wiley has led a charge to make outdoor spaces more accessible to diverse communities that may not always feel welcome.
North Face, however, appears proud to stand behind its choice of spokes-queen. In a comment under the ad, the company said "We recognize the opportunity our brand has to shape the future of the outdoors and we want that future to be a more accepting and loving place. We’re partnering with Pattie because we believe the outdoors are for everyone."
Lauren Boebert claims she missed vote on debt ceiling deal because it was a ‘c**p sandwich’ ‘No excuses, I was ticked off they wouldn’t let me do my job, so I didn’t take the vote,’ Colorado Republican says
Lauren Boebert has claimed that she intentionally missed the House vote on the debt ceiling deal - after reports that she actually tried to attend but was too late.
The Colorado Republican emerged as one of the fiercest critics of the debt ceiling deal brokered by House leader Kevin McCarthy and President Joe Biden to avoid a catastrophic default.
But when it was time for the House of Representatives to cast their votes on Wednesday night, she failed to show up.
Ms Boebert was mocked on social media after she reportedly “narrowly missed the vote, running up the steps right as they gaveled”, according to Axios Capitol Hill reporter Juliegrace Brufke.
So difficult to find a grave of those who died in Normandy. She was over at Charles's Ford grave in section 33. Just over in the next section we have:
PFC James Lewis Brooks, Company B, 116th Infantry, 29th Division
Captain Sherman V. Burroughs, Headquarters Company, 116th Infantry, 29th Division
Both of these would have been in the second wave at Omaha Beach and drifted west of Dog Green, landed below the cliffs, and were picked off by snipers.
Leo L Beals, Company C, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division
He would have dropped somewhere behind Utah Beach as part of Mission Albany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_Albany
She has the usual sour expression. Maybe she's trying to look serious. It's tacky to include your name and office to turn it into a campaign photo. A normal person would have left that off to focus on honoring the veteran (no matter who they are).
I assume she just re-used a photo she previously took on a Memorial Day. Note the flags around all the headstones, and the section she was in had no D-Day graves.
Dollars to donuts, she just bent down and touched the flag to make it look like she was putting it in.
