U.S. retail giant Target’s decision to stock controversial Pride merchandise has come back to haunt them, resulting in a plunge in their revenue figures. The Telegraph has the story.
The Minneapolis-based company posted a 5% drop in sales to $24.8 billion (£19.5 billion) in the second quarter – its first decline in six years.
It comes after Target was hit by a backlash over its range of products to support the LGBT+ community, in particular its displays of merchandise to celebrate Pride month.
The retail chain faced criticism and homophobic abuse led by far-Right personalities over products including gender fluid mugs, Queer All Year calendars and children’s books entitled Bye, Bye Binary, Pride 1,2,3 and I’m Not a Girl.
Other ranges included a collaboration with British transgender designer Erik Carnell’s brand, Abprallen, which has been criticised for making clothes with images of pentagrams, horned skulls and other Satanic products.
Target eventually removed some products from its 2,000-strong Pride collection citing staff safety after an increase in confrontations between customers and employees and damage to displays.
The decision prompted further outcry from Target employees who celebrate Pride.
Target bosses have said they cannot pin down exactly how much of an impact the boycott had on sales, but that trading improved in July from June.
Brian Cornell, Chief Executive of Target, said the company had learned from the backlash and would be more cautious about its merchandise offering for “heritage” months, which celebrate various ethnic and marginalised groups.
He told reporters: “We’ll continue to celebrate Pride and other heritage moments, which are just one part of our commitment to support diverse teams and guests.
“However, as we navigate an ever changing operating and social environment, we’re applying what we’ve learned to ensure we’re staying close to our guests and their expectations of Target.”

Repeat after me:
Data are racist.
Facts are lies.
Breath is death.
Strokes are normal.
And as Monkey Pox shows, anal Schwabs are bad for your health.
this could also be to do with the massive backlog of people who have not been treated and left to suffer for the last two yrs, if you can’t get a doctors appointment or are left with a video call and left un or mis diagnosed, more people are becoming sicker as a result. These jabs are also a contributing factor as well as doctors etc dismiss that the jabs may be causing an effect which leads to a overlook of conditions etc.
Stress, depression, unemployment, overeating and drinking during lockdowns, mass vaccination.
All predicted as dangerous here by us two years ago.
Indeed. All of this was predicted by so many people, which makes one wonder why no real ‘risk-benefit” analysis occurred before these “health” and “safety” protocols were mandated. They all produced extra and unnecessary deaths. “Public health” has never been worse in my lifetime.
“jabs may be causing an effect” – we need to get real!
Time is getting short.

If this continues then by my calculation by the time winter fuel payments etc come due in October they will have saved themselves £30,588.800
They’ll call it a good start
Hmm, let’s see what could have caused this to happen?

Malone posted this an hour ago. Suggests that the monkeybollox has been genetically manipulated.
In conclusion, the preponderance of current evidence is pointing towards a hypothesis for the origin of this outbreak which is increasingly consistent with prior “war game” scenario planning, remarkably akin to that which occurred during Event 201, which posits emergence of an engineered Monkeypox virus into the human population during mid-May of 2022.
When asked why so many people in their twenties and thirties were dying prematurely of heart attacks and strokes, a spokeswomxn for the regime said “new regime science shows that coffee, bananas, atmospheric conditions, listening to the wrong kind of music, muffins, not sleeping enough, dogs, curtains, jelly beans, freedom, free speech, the right to protest, voting and cold air have all started causing heart attacks in 2022, and the novel cell therapy known to cause clots has nothing do to with it, bigots.”
These hypothesised current excess deaths of 10% or so associated with prior lockdown and or vaccines could have been running for the last twelve months.
Up until now masked in the weekly death data by the ‘premature [by a year or so] deaths’ of the very old and frail of 2020 being subtracted, or having been ‘brought forward’, from 2021-2022?
Those 120,000 excess deaths covering circa 2020 to early 2021 have to be deducted from later death data at some point.
‘According to data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), Covid deaths have been dropping as the Omicron waves have subsided…’
Lying toads!
Omicron was so mild it was indistinguishable from a slight Cold, so how could it be causing any more than a few chance deaths?
What they mean is Omicron has done what coronavirus do, start disappearing due to seasonal change, and they can’t pin deaths on it.
So add more than 1 000 because of tricksy ‘underlying’ double-talk.
Increase in all-cause mortality: mRNA ju-ju brew deaths which unlike CoVid are being vastly under-reported, deaths from other diseases due to weakened mRNA spike immune systems, and lack of medical care because the permanently overwhelmed NHS is overwhelmed.
But the real cause = Government. When will the arrests and trial start?
If we look at the occurrence data for all cause deaths for England and Wales (which aren’t affected by when bank holidays fall and distorts reported deaths) we can see there has been a move in all cause deaths above the 5 year (2015-2019) average since around the end of March. This increase associates with the latest booster experimental vaccine doses. Association isn’t proof of causation of course.
Ignore the very last point on that chart (20th May) as estimates of deaths that have occurred but not been reported will be subject to major uncertainty.
And essentially the same chart but this time showing the percentage that all cause deaths exceed the 2015-2019 average (i.e the percentage above the blue line the green line is in the previous chart)
There is this very good analytical substack, FC, it may interest you.

Thanks. I’ll have a look later.
Needs to be broken down by age cohorts. I’d wager the 20-50 groups show a sharp increase compared to baseline.
Nothing to see here.

If they’re jabbed it serves them right, frankly.

Worth reposting here.
Noone can still believe in a cockup after having read just this.
“In the internal trials, there were over 42,000 adverse events and more than 1200 people died. Four of the people who died, died on the day they were injected.”
“The side effects about which Pfizer and the FDA knew but you did not, include blistering problems, rashes, shingles, and herpetic conditions (indeed, a range of blistering conditions oddly foreshadowing the symptoms of monkeypox).”
“The internal documents show that Pfizer (and thus the FDA) knew that angry red welts or hives were a common reaction to the PEG, a petroleum-derived allergen in the vaccine ingredients — one that you are certainly not supposed to ingest. Indeed, PEG is an allergen so severe that many people can go into anaphylactic shock if they are exposed to it. But people with a PEG allergy were not warned away from the vaccines or even carefully watched by their doctors, EpiPen in hand. They were left to their shock.”
Confirms for me for sure if I had had even one of those jabs I wouldn’t have suffered a jab injury. I’d be dead.
There was a very interesting article from a German pathologist which I saw this morning, basically saying that whenever he carries out an examination he finds tissue which has been damaged by the “vax” jab and which caused or contributed to the death by strokes, aneurysms etc.. The immune system tries to destroy the vax induced spike – with consequences which were predictable i.e. death.
I intended to provide a link – but guess what, it appears to have disappeared.
If anyone can find it please let me know.
It was, I think, from the Hart group.
Not the link you were on about, but covers the same information.

Thanks for that, much obliged.
It is the same one, but I kept getting the dreaded P. 104
Non- Covid but what about Covid Vaccine deaths then?
I read Comment Sections for important anecdotes. This morning at a Substack site I read a post from someone who said a close friend works at a florist shop. This person said that her shop has never had so many orders for flowers for funerals.
I prefer to compare weekly deaths with those from years completely outside the hoax pandemic. I use ONS data for 2010-2019, adjusted by population totals to 2020.
What this shows is that this week is 10.6% above the ten-year maximum.
Even averaged over the last 3 weeks, it is 4.0% above maximum and 13.7% above average.

Yes we all know the covid vaxx is driving excess death in every country that pushed the dangerous and lethal covid vaccines. Read Steve Kirsch, Joel Smalley, Jeff Childers, el gato on their substack. The information is all there. Also read Expose. Demand your gp and mp face reality and have access to this data. Legacy media will not print it.
