Popular Women’s Clothing Brand Faces Heat for Advertising Men Dancing in Dresses (VIDEO)

Anthropologie, a famous women’s clothing store, had customers so upset over their recent advertisement featuring male modeling dresses the brand had to turn off commenting on their social media posts.

Earlier this week, Anthropologie posted an Instagram reel of a man dancing around in women’s dresses, causing outrage from its longtime consumers.

The brand was forced to delete the video and turn off all commenting following the significant backlash of the video.

In one of the videos, a muscular man with a shaved haircut twirled around in a dress, exposing his underwear.

Prominent figures reacted harshly to the posts, condemning the brand’s progressive move to feature a man in women’s clothes.

LGBTQ Activist: Bud Light Will Go ‘Extinct’ for Handling of Transgender Controversy

Anheuser-Busch has drawn more criticism since it caved to “transphobic outcries” amid the Dylan Mulvaney controversy, an LGBTQ activist claims.

According to Stacy Lentz, the brewery “missed an opportunity to stand by their commitment to the trans community by pandering to and giving into transphobic outcries,” Newsweek reported Tuesday.

“As far as marketing, I hope and think they realized that as a brand they will be extinct in a few years if they are not fully on the side of equality, as that is what the Gen Z consumer expects and demands,” she continued.

Lentz is a co-owner of New York City’s Stonewall Inn, according to the Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative website.

Meanwhile, Bud Light sales have continued to drop since the company announced its partnership with Mulvaney, a transgender advocate.

Republican Warns Democrat’s Obsession With Gender Identity Will Destroy U.S. Military Branches

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala) is calling out the U.S. Navy for enlisting woke, progressive ideas in an attempt to recruit members, threatening the country’s national security.

The Republican warned that the Navy is having a “Bud Light moment” after news broke it had hired a non-binary officer to be its drag queen “Digital Ambassador” to entice recruits.

“My concern is that our new national obsession with sexuality, race, and gender is focused on self rather than purpose, ability, or service. I spent 40 years recruiting young men to play football. What the Navy is doing isn’t a good recruiting strategy,” Tuberville wrote in an opinion piece for the Washington Street Journal.

Instead of focusing on real issues the military branch faces, such as low recruitment levels, aging aircraft, and poor shipyard conditions, Tuberville pointed out that the Navy is too busy worrying about caving to the Democrat’s “woke identity politics” agenda.

IRS Has Spent $10 Million on ‘Weaponry and Gear’ Since Start of Coronavirus Pandemic, Report Says

By Fox News. The Internal Revenue Service has spent $10 million on “weaponry and gear,” including rifles and tactical shotguns, since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, a new report says.

The findings from OpenTheBooks come as the IRS is looking to hire special agents who will carry guns and make arrests, with jobs available in all 50 states, according to a posting on the agency’s website.

“The years 2020 and 2021 were peak years at the IRS for purchasing weaponry and gear. Just since the pandemic started, the IRS has purchased $10 million in weaponry and gear,” says the report from OpenTheBooks, which describes itself as a nonprofit, nonpartisan “government watchdog organization.” . . .

OpenTheBooks says that prior to 2020, the IRS already had “4,500 guns and has stockpiled 5 million rounds of ammunition for use by its 2,159 special agents.” . . .

The organization also said there are “now more federal agents with arrest and firearm authority (200,000) than U.S. Marines (186,000).” (Read more from “IRS Has Spent $10 Million on ‘Weaponry and Gear’ Since Start of Coronavirus Pandemic, Report Says” HERE)

Twitter Fact-Checks Joe Biden

President Joe Biden found himself at the wrong end of Twitter’s fact-checking “Community Notes” function on Tuesday.

Biden pointed the finger at Republicans in the debt ceiling fight in a tweet amid the looming deadline.

“America is not a deadbeat nation,” Biden wrote. “We have never, ever failed to pay our debt. But MAGA Republicans are engaged in reckless hostage-taking by threatening to force America into default. It’s dangerous and wrong.”

A new feature of the platform under Elon Musk, called Community Notes, added some context to the tweet after it was posted. . .

Among the times the country defaulted, three happened within Biden’s lifetime: in 1968, 1971, and 1979, with the final time happening after Biden took office in the Senate. (Read more from “Twitter Fact-Checks Joe Biden” HERE)

Virgin Islands: Google Co-Founder Larry Page Avoiding Service in a Lawsuit Over Links to Jeffrey Epstein

The US Virgin Islands is having trouble finding Google co-founder Larry Page to serve him a subpoena for its lawsuit against JP Morgan, court documents show.

The US Virgin Islands government sued JP Morgan Chase in December, accusing the bank of facilitating and concealing Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking enterprise.

As part of the lawsuit, the government wants to subpoena Page because it believes the tech executive may have had some connection to the disgraced financier.

“Upon information and belief, Larry Page … is a high-net-worth individual who Epstein may have referred or attempted to refer to JPMorgan,” a motion filed on Thursday said.

According to court documents, the government made several unsuccessful attempts to reach Page, who also owned two islands in US Virgin Islands as of late last year. (Read more from “Virgin Islands: Google Co-Founder Larry Page Avoiding Service in a Lawsuit Over Links to Jeffrey Epstein” HERE)

Justice Sonia Sotomayor Didn’t Recuse Herself From Cases Involving Publisher That Paid Her $3M: Report

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor didn’t recuse herself from multiple cases involving a book publisher – Penguin Random House – which paid her more than $3 million since 2010, according to a report.

The copyright infringement cases, in which Penguin Random House stood to suffer financial damage if the court ruled unfavorably, were not taken up by the high court but justices voted on whether or not to hear the cases.

Altogether, Sotomayor earned $3.6 million from Penguin Random House and its subsidiaries for agreeing to let them publish her 2013 memoir, “My Beloved World,” and numerous children’s books since then, the Daily Wire reported on Thursday.

The same year that her memoir came out, Sotomayor voted on whether the high court should take up Aaron Greenspan v. Random House.

Her liberal colleague at the time, Justice Stephen Breyer, recused himself from the case, having also received money from Penguin Random House. (Read more from “Justice Sonia Sotomayor Didn’t Recuse Herself From Cases Involving Publisher That Paid Her $3M: Report” HERE)

White House Has ‘Nothing’ to Say on Biden Bribery Claim After Tips to Diplomats, Law Enforcement Emerge

Multiple tips to diplomats and law enforcement that might explain a whistleblower claim describing President Biden taking bribes have emerged — as the White House said Thursday it had “nothing” to say about the matter.

House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) issued a subpoena Wednesday requiring the FBI to hand over an informant report that describes “an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.”

“I’m gonna have to refer you to the Justice Department on that,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told The Post during a White House briefing. “I have nothing for you on that today.”

“Do you know what country this pertains to or what policy decision?” a reporter asked.

“I have nothing for you, sir. I’m going to have to refer you to the Justice Department. And I’m getting the hook — see ya,” said Kirby, relinquishing the lectern to press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

Colorado Is First State in Nation to Ban Drugs That Rescue Babies That Moms Attempted to Abort

In Glenwood Springs, Colorado, registered nurse Katie Laven answers calls from people who’ve started the two-pill medication abortion regimen and want to stop the process.

“They are just in turmoil,” said Laven, who works at the Abortion Pill Rescue Network and answers some of the roughly 150 calls it says come in each month. “They feel like, ‘Well, maybe an abortion would make it better.’ And then they take the abortion pill and they’re like, ‘I don’t feel better. In fact, I feel much worse that I did that.’” . . .

But such interventions may be coming to an end in Colorado, which recently became the first state to ban abortion pill reversals. The Colorado legislature passed a bill to make prescribing any drug in this way medical misconduct, unless three of the state’s medical boards find it is a “generally accepted standard of practice.” Democratic Gov. Jared Polis signed the bill into law on April 14.

The bill also limits advertising by pregnancy resource centers, which do not offer abortions; rather, they are known to try to talk people out of getting an abortion.

The Colorado attorney general’s office, several district attorneys, the Colorado Medical Board, and the Colorado Board of Nursing said they would not enforce the new law until the two medical boards determine whether abortion reversal is “a generally accepted standard of practice,” The Colorado Sun reported.

Report: ‘Transgender Toddlers’ Receiving Treatments at North Carolina Universities

Multiple medical schools in the state of North Carolina are reportedly administering sex change treatments to toddlers, according a report released on Tuesday by Education First Alliance.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, East Carolina University, and Duke University have all been identified as medical schools that offer transitioning therapies for toddlers, according to an investigation titled “Transgender toddlers treated at Duke, UNC, and ECU” by Education First Alliance.

Duke University opened the “Child and Adolescent Gender Care Clinic” in 2015 and reportedly treats children as young as two years old for gender dysphoria, according to Education First Alliance. Duke Child and Adolescent Gender Care Director Deanna Adkins claimed in a 2015 interview that the center works with young children, ABC 11 reported.

“We are working with all kinds of kids, from infants to teens. And we take care of children that are having problems developing gender,” Adkins said, according to ABC 11.

The University of North Carolina (UNC) treats children as young as three years old for gender dysphoria, according to Education First Alliance. The university’s intake form reportedly claims that the institution provides sex change therapies for minors aged three to 11.
