Target is cutting back on its LGBT Pride month collection following the consumer backlash to last summer’s assortment that sent its sales tumbling.

The retailer will only be selling its LGBT merchandise in select stores after some locations faced boycotts for selling LGBT Pride items, including transgender-oriented bathing suits and children’s items designed by a brand that also sells Satanist-inspired merchandise. ...

Last summer, Target’s stock nosedived and the company lost billions in market value after conservatives called for a boycott of the retail chain because of its Pride merchandise, especially a “tuck-friendly” swimsuit meant to obscure male genitalia.

The retailer also faced pushback for its collaboration with Abprallen, a London-based clothing-design company that openly embraces Satanism and sells merchandise celebrating violence against supposed “transphobes.” ...

 U.S. special operations commanders are having to do more with less and they're learning from the war in Ukraine, That means juggling how to add more high-tech experts to their teams while still cutting their overall forces by about 5,000 troops over the next five years.

FORT LIBERTY, N.C. (AP) — Forced to do more with less and learning from the war in Ukraine, U.S. special operations commanders are juggling how to add more high-tech experts to their teams while still cutting their overall forces by about 5,000 troops over the next five years.
 
The conflicting pressures are forcing a broader restructuring of the commando teams, which are often deployed for high-risk counterterrorism missions and other sensitive operations around the world. The changes under consideration are being influenced by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, including lessons learned by British special operations forces there.
 
U.S. Army Special Operations Command, which bears the brunt of the personnel cuts, is eyeing plans to increase the size of its Green Beret teams — usually about 12 members — to bring in people with more specialized and technical abilities. One possibility would be the addition of computer software experts who could reprogram drones or other technical equipment on the fly.

Trump will not “Drain the swamp.”  He wants its power for himself.

Yeesh, at least they could have had provided something more enjoyable to drink, like whisky.

A nice craft beer, perhaps.

 
Crime victims aim to topple woke Soros-backed DAs in California, Texas
Story by Mary Kay Linge • 2h •

Two woke prosecutors who gained office with the help of lefty megadonor George Soros could soon be ousted in recall efforts led by locals furious about their disastrous, soft-on-crime philosophies.

Pamela Price of Oakland, Calif., won election as Alameda County’s district attorney in 2022 with $1 million in cash from Soros-backed donors, while José Garza of Austin, Tex. is seeking a second term as Travis County DA after getting $447,000 from Soros cutouts, according to the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund.
 
 
But soaring crime in the two deep-blue cities have sparked victim revolts that could put both Democrats’ jobs on the chopping block. Price is facing a recall petition with nearly 75,000 validated signatures, while Garza could be removed due to to a lawsuit filed under Texas’ new “rogue prosecutor” statute.
 
“I’ve stood in the courtroom with families where the killer of their child walked out the door the same time they walked out the door — no probation, no ankle monitor, no nothing,” Brenda Grisham, who organized the Price recall effort, told The Post.
