Watch: Tennessee Pastor Shares Reaction After Confronting Target Staff About New Transgender Policy

/12 Comments/in , /by

Target_interiorIn the days since Target announced a policy shift allowing shoppers to use the restroom and fitting room that aligns with their gender identity, numerous critics have shared their opposition through such channels as petitions, boycotts and social media rants. A few have gone so far as to carry a recording device to a Target location in an effort to determine the extent of the new corporate attempt at inclusion.

Pastor Greg Locke of Global Vision Bible Church in Mount Juliet, Tenn., stood in front of a local Target store to share his own research into the matter as well as his response to the company’s stance.

“I didn’t want to just believe everything I’ve heard in the news media the past 48 hours,” he said, “so I walked right through the front doors of our local Target and went to the customer service desk, found a manager and I asked, ‘Can you please help me understand your new bathroom policy?’”

Locke recalled that the employee “shrugged her shoulders and smirked, knowing no doubt this question was coming from others,” and informed him that he was free to use whichever restroom with which he most closely identified.

“I said, ‘Like right now?’” he continued. “She said, ‘Yes sir, whichever bathroom you self-identify with, you are welcome to go and use right now.’”

After Locke engaged the staff member further, he said she told him he could receive additional information by calling Target’s corporate offices. (Read more from “Tennessee Pastor Shares Reaction After Confronting Target Staff About New Transgender Policy” HERE)

Watch: Fox Host Gets DNC Chair to Admit Clinton Was Only Sec. Of State Ever to Use Private Email Sever

/1 Comment/in , /by

hqdefaultDemocratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz struggled to defend former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server this morning during an interview on “Fox News Sunday.”

When host Chris Wallace asked the Florida congresswoman about about Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ persistent critiques of Clinton’s campaign and the scandal that surrounds it, Wasserman Schultz unsuccessfully tried to divert the conversation to the messy, “backwards” Republican race . . .

When pressed about the scandal, she said that Clinton used private emails “in the same way that previous secretaries of state have.”

“Whoa, you know that’s not true,” Wallace stopped her. “Nobody says that’s true.”

“Other than the private server,” Wasserman Schultz said. (Read more from “Fox Host Gets DNC Chair to Admit Clinton Was Only Sec. Of State Ever to Use Private Email Sever” HERE)

There’s a Video Going Around of Cruz Allegedly Bribing a Delegate. Here’s the Real Story

/8 Comments/in , /by

6236460755_af70e60869_b (1)Ted Cruz‘s campaign refuted a video purporting to show the Texas senator passing money to a Republican delegate at a campaign event . . .

The video surfaced on Reddit Friday morning, and claimed to catch Cruz trying to conceal “cash under a flyer” while handing it to a man standing with his face off-screen.

“Cruz has the money, fails to slip it,” the video text reads, before showing Cruz pass what appears to be a currency note to the man. The video, created by YouTube user Neil Turner, claims the man is a delegate, but does not give his name or say when or where the video was shot.

“The ‘delegate’ is Bruce Redden, a Cruz staffer, collecting things that people hand Ted Cruz as he shakes hands, signs books, and takes pictures after every event,” Phillips told TheDC. “The money is a $5 donation that a supporter gave to their small child to hand to the senator, along with a picture the child drew.” (Read more from “There’s a Video Going Around of Cruz Allegedly Bribing a Delegate.

Karl Rove: Trump out of Time for ‘Empty Threat’ of Third-Party Race [+video]

/4 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump may have left the door open for a third-party run if he’s denied the GOP presidential nomination, but Republican political strategist Karl Rove Thursday called that an “empty threat,” as there is not enough time left for him to mount an independent bid.

“By the time the Republican National Convention begins on July 18 in Cleveland, 12 states will have closed their deadlines to run as an independent candidate in the fall,” Rove said on Fox News’ “Happening Now” program, outlining the numerous states, including Texas, North Carolina, Michigan and more that will have closed out their deadlines.

“A quarter for the states, more than a quarter of the states, have already closed the likelihood that he can get on the ballot, and then there are about more than a dozen that close within the next two weeks, including a couple key battleground states that he would want to be competitive in if he had any hope at all of winning the presidency.” (Read more from “Karl Rove: Trump out of Time for ‘Empty Threat’ of Third-Party Race” HERE)

Victory Speech Has ‘The View’ Calling Trump More Presidential [+video]

/5 Comments/in , /by

8567822300_e2320094d4_bAs on so many other occasions in Donald Trump’s campaign for the presidency, his words were dissected after his victory speech.

On a show where the scalpel of analysis is often cut cruelly, came a very different word used to describe the GOP’s front-runner.

After hearing Trump’s speech after his huge win in the New York primary, host Sunny Hostin of The View said Trump seemed “much more presidential this time” . . .

However, Hostin is not alone in her evaluation.

“If you are a Republican who doesn’t want Trump to be the nominee, the Donald Trump who just spoke should scare you,” tweeted Chris Cillizza of The Washington Post Tuesday night.

“After he won New York’s GOP primary by a massive and larger-than-expected margin, Trump was uncharacteristically subdued, setting aside the braggadocio (his word) we’re used to seeing from the real estate billionaire. And this somewhat-new, more-polished Trump — if we are indeed witnessing that — should worry Republicans who hope Trump will eventually gaffe himself out of the race,” wrote Amber Phillips of The Washington Post. “We’ve been wondering since he started leading in the polls when Trump would act more like a politician.” (Read more from “Victory Speech Has ‘The View’ Calling Trump More Presidential” HERE)

YouTube Transgender Bathroom ‘Experiment’ Results in Screams of Outrage

/5 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit, Serene Lau, Innovation Storyteller, Garfield Innovation CenterWhen YouTube sensation Joey Salads conducts what he calls a “social experiment,” you can bet there will be outrage amid the hilarity.

Such was the case in his most recent video, in which the dark-complexioned Salads donned a blonde wig and a dress, proclaimed himself as a transsexual and walked into a women’s bathroom.

Salads was prompted to stage the video after North Carolina caused a liberal outcry after passing legislation requiring men and women to use bathrooms that correspond with their biological birth genders.

It did not take long to find out that Salads was not welcome.

“You can’t be in here!” the first woman he followed into the bathroom yelled at him. “You can’t just say you’re a girl!”

The next two women he followed into the bathroom were also highly offended and equally vocal. (Read more from “YouTube Transgender Bathroom ‘Experiment’ Results in Screams of Outrage” HERE)

Watch: Trump Discusses 9/11 During Speech in New York — but Makes This One Big Mistake

/4 Comments/in , /by

Just hours before the polls open in New York, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump mistakenly mixed up 9/11 with the convenience store 7-Eleven, the chain known for its Slurpees and Big Gulps.

“I wrote this out, and it’s very close to my heart,” he told supporters at a Buffalo, New York, rally. “Because I was down there and I watched our police and our firemen down at 7/11, down at the World Trade Center right after it came down, and I saw the greatest people I’ve ever seen in action.”

Trump did not catch the mistake during the speech and had not yet acknowledged the flub at the time of publication.

The real estate mogul was using the opportunity to discuss the “New York values that we all know so well,” praising the construction workers, bystanders and first responders for their bravery during the 9/11 attacks.

25982302985_7cf1db94e3_bFormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had another coughing episode this morning during a radio interview with New York city radio show The Breakfast Club.

Excuse me,” she said coughing, after speaking for about 20 minutes on the air.

“Allergy season,” she said, as she continued coughing, reaching for her drink.

“You all right? Any mouth to mouth CPR?” one of the hosts joked, trying to lighten the mood.

“Senator, you coughing like you have something medicinal,” another host said. (Read more from “What Was Wrong With Hillary During Her Recent Radio Interview?” HERE)

See How Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski Responds When Asked If He Will ‘Apologize’ to Ex-Breitbart Reporter

/5 Comments/in , /by

hqdefaultWhen “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace asked Corey Lewandoski on Sunday if he would like to offer an apology to former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields — even if only to avoid potential litigation — Lewandowski once again refused to validate Fields’ claims of assault.

Lewandowski, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s campaign manager, discussed the recently-dropped battery charges that Fields brought against him following their encounter at a March press conference that was caught on camera. Although Lewandowski could be seen grabbing Fields’ arm in the footage, Trump’s campaign manager maintains that the reality of the situation did not match Fields’ violent allegations against him.

“What I acknowledge is, the sum total of my relationship with Ms. Fields was caught on that video tape,” Lewandowski told Wallace. “She’s an individual I had never met before, had never spoken to before, and candidly, I didn’t remember the incident. The whole incident lasted less than three seconds, and it was me moving from one location to another location. I would have remembered if I tried to violently throw someone to the ground, or if there was an incident which would have been memorable. And there wasn’t.”

Lewandowski also maintained that he had tried to call Fields after he read about the allegations against him from Fields’ boyfriend on Twitter, although Fields says that she has no records of a call or of any message being left for her.

Watch: Alabama College Student Cited for Wearing Empty Gun Holster on Campus

/2 Comments/in , /by

Drawing_from_holsterA University of South Alabama student was charged with violating the school’s code of conduct after campus police caught him on campus wearing an empty gun holster, in an incident recorded on video.

D.J. Parten, a junior from Mobile, said he was stopped Wednesday, detained for more than 30 minutes and then issued a citation that required him to meet with the Dean of Students, Al.com reported Thursday. Officials said they ultimately dismissed the citation after taking a closer look at the case.

South Alabama spokesman Bob Lowry told the news outlet it all started when campus police responded to a report of a person in the Student Center who may have been carrying an “unconcealed” weapon.

“USAPD officers arrived at the location and following an on-site interview with a student wearing an empty gun holster, issued a campus judicial citation to the student,” he said. (Read more from “Alabama College Student Cited for Wearing Empty Gun Holster on Campus” HERE)
