In recent years, a trip to a Target department store on June 1 was the only reminder needed that the month is dedicated to celebrating “gay pride,” but not so this year.   Instead of a prominent display of chest binders and swimsuits designed for “tucking” private parts, as seen at Target in the summer of 2023, the major U.S. retailer is celebrating “Coastal Classics” with red, white, and blue-themed clothing this summer.   .@Target PRIDE collection is a clear indication of a cultural shift in America… we went from tucking bathing suit to USA costal classics! What a SHIFT! American Pride > pic.twitter.com/izpIyxnqpJ— MORGONN (@morgonnm) June 2, 2025 The shift comes just months after Target announced it was ending some of its DEI initiatives, and it follows several years of declining revenues for the retailer.   While Target appears to have gotten the memo that Americans want a more traditional—and less woke—agenda, Hollywood will always be the last to learn.   The HBO series “The Last of Us,” ended its first season with 8.2 million views in February 2023, according to The Hollywood Reporter. But the show’s second season ended with half as many viewers. Why? It might have something to do with the show’s denial of reality.   The show received criticism when one of the characters, who is a lesbian, learns that her partner is pregnant from a previous relationship and responds: “I’m going to be a dad.”   The season finale drew 3.7 million viewers, down from 5.3 million when the season premiered in April.   On this week’s edition of “Problematic Women” we discuss why these incidents and others like them point to a shift away from the radical woke ideology toward a desire for traditional values in America.   Also on today’s show, we respond to the news that Biden administration press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is leaving the Democratic Party and becoming an independent. Plus, the fight to protect life is far from over, a reality made evident by Planned Parenthood’s latest abortion numbers.   Catch it all and more on “Problematic Women.”  The post In the Swim of Things, Is America Ditching LGBTQ for Traditional?   appeared first on The Daily Signal.

I’d much rather be covering RICH Eisen or Norm MACDONALD, but sadly I have to tell you about Norm Eisen… Again. It was just a few days ago that I brought you this report: JUDICIAL COUP? Watch As Legal Scholar Caught Boasting On Camera About Trump Lawfare Now according to Norm himself, he's setting his targets on Elon Musk next: Norm Eisen:  We’re going to have a BIG announcement today on Elon Musk. ANd, I’ll be on MSNBC tonight talking about it. We’re not letting up on Mr. Musk even though he is truthfully calling the bill what it is, an abomination. So stay tuned for that as well. Watch it here: Norm Eisen is coming for Elon Musk which means that Norm is going to try to put Elon in prison just like he tried to do to Trump for four years. This is what happens when you have a disastrous AG like @AGPamBondi who should have already indicted Norm Eisen. @FBIDDBongino… pic.twitter.com/1ydRaF1PDh — The Researcher (@listen_2learn) June 5, 2025 That voice....UGH! My friend Jim Hoft over at The Gateway Pundit did not hold back on his opinion of Eisen, offering this absolutely SCATHING write-up: Joseph Stalin’s henchman Lavrentiy Beria once famously said, “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.” This is today’s Democrat party. We have seen Democrats use this motto now for the past 6 years. They even wanted to throw President Trump in prison for 900 years. Give them the Republican and they’ll show you the crime. Democrats will continue this wicked communist practice until they are stopped. ... Following President Trump and Elon Musk’s very public online spat on Thursday, Norm Eisen announced that he will take advantage of this political breakup and go after Elon Musk. Eisen told his unkept sidekick Rubin that he’s going to focus on Elon Musk. He needs to teach him a lesson. They want to bankrupt Musk and put him in jail. Like they did with Trump, J6ers, Pro-Lifers, cops, etc. ... It’s just a shame that Pam Bondi did not have the backbone to indict Norm Eisen, the leftist mastermind behind the 2020 stolen election, after she took office. These communists left unchecked with destroy even the most brilliant and selfless genius of our lifetime. The communist left must be stopped before they destroy America and Western civilization. I'll end with Glenn Beck who added this: Governors' Plot: Destabilizing America After Trump's 2024 Win? pic.twitter.com/VD5eQMeIZP — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) June 6, 2025 TRANSCRIPT: Let me just tell you about the coalition of Democratic governors called Governors Safeguarding Democracy. It is, uh, a group that is led by J.B. Pris—uh, Pritzker, who is the Illinois governor, and Colorado's governor Jared Polis. This is a coordinated effort to defy President Trump's immigration policies and to get some heavy hitters calling the shots. One day after Trump's second inauguration, the group held a Zoom meeting led by none other than Norm Eisen. Who is that? He's the former White House ethics czar—so funny—and, uh, special counsel for Trump's first impeachment trial. He is also one of the, uh, ringleaders of the current lawsuit campaign. He's laid this whole thing out. Now their strategy is laid out in a book called Governors Safeguarding Democracy: Firewall for Freedom. Now it was obtained through, uh, FOIA by The Daily Signal. Why isn’t nobody talking? Why—why isn’t anybody saying thank you, Daily Signal? Why isn’t anybody talking about this? Well, we know—because the mainstream media is never gonna talk about this. The plan includes model executive orders for governors to use in blocking National Guard deployments if they don't like them, and to refuse state resources for federal immigration enforcement. One draft order says that states shall provide no time, money, or facilities for National Guard units deployed without the governor’s approval. Another directs state agencies to withhold information if they suspect it’s being used for immigration, uh, actions. So they are plotting government. And what exactly are they preparing to obstruct? What—what—what National Guard deployments? What are you talking about? Well, Governor Pritzker said something in a speech that I think ties into this directly. Is it just that they’re going to use legal action? No. Now remember, Pritzker is one of the guys leading this—with Norm Eisen and every—everybody else. Um, and I want you to listen to what he’s saying. He’s not talking about the National Guard and he’s not talking about lawyers here. Listen to what he said just a couple of weeks ago: “Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption—but I am now.” Yeah. “Theseese people cannot know a moment of peace.” That is a governor of one of our largest states. This is what happens when the system churns out activists instead of thinkers. Violence is excused as resistance when governors weaponize their authority to defy the will of the American people. Trump won in a clear 2024 mandate. Everybody knows that. Everybody knows Trump was elected for two things—the, uh, economy and immigration. And I don’t think in that order. But he won. And the left is obsessed with their oppressor/oppressed worldview. They see only one path, and that is: fight, disrupt, and resist. We’re not talking about just policy disagreements. This is a coordinated effort to destabilize America—rooted in decades of Marxist indoctrination. That’s what’s happening in America. That’s what’s coming. RELATED REPORT: JUDICIAL COUP? Watch As Legal Scholar Caught Boasting On Camera About Trump Lawfare Thais is just disgusting to watch and I imagine our Founding Fathers would be sickened to see this. A man who won the 2024 election by a LANDSLIDE, with a clear mandate from the people, waging the ultimate political comeback....and instead of rallying behind him and trying to heal this country and move it forward, people like Norm Eisen are proudly boasting about having 152 open lawsuits against President Trump and being so giddy like a school-girl that you filed the first one at 12:01 on the day of his Inauguration. I don't care which side you're on, this just makes my skin crawl: It’s not a Judicial coup? Here’s Norm Eisen laughing about suing POTUS Trump at 12:01 on Inauguration Day. Norm brags about 152 open lawsuits against POTUS Trump. It’s a Color Revolution. It’s treasonous behavior and should be dealt with by the DOJ.pic.twitter.com/1hH1gR0c08 — C3 (@C_3C_3) May 29, 2025 FULL TRANSCRIPT: Now at CREW, we have 152 open legal matters against the Trump administration since January 20th. We filed the first one at 12:01 PM. We wanted to file the very first lawsuit—had somebody listening on their iPhone to the swearing-in and standing at the GSA to drop a complaint on them about the Trump Hotel. Uh, so, uh, uh, you know, just, uh, compelled by circumstances. And when Trump is—Trump is ejected, as I believe he will be, then, uh, I'll help stitch up some of the damage and I'll go back to book writing. There you go. All right, Meredith, uh, so, uh, Norm paints a pretty bleak picture about the current state of things.

Watch As Legal Scholar Boasts On Camera About Trump Lawfare (DORK ALERT) pic.twitter.com/jFEbkUHHhZ — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) June 2, 2025 In case you don't know who Norm Eisen is, here's a short bio: Norman L. Eisen is an American lawyer, former diplomat, and political operative known for his focus on government ethics, anti-corruption policy, and legal strategy related to Democratic Party interests. Background and Education Eisen was born in 1960 in Los Angeles to Eastern European Jewish immigrants. His mother was a Holocaust survivor from Czechoslovakia. He earned a B.A. from Brown University in 1985 and a J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1991. At Harvard, he was a classmate of Barack Obama. Legal and Political Work He began his legal career at Zuckerman Spaeder LLP, handling complex litigation. In 2003, he co-founded Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a liberal watchdog group focused on attacking political opponents under the banner of government accountability. From 2009 to 2011, Eisen served as Special Counsel for Ethics and Government Reform to President Obama, where he was tasked with tightening executive branch ethics rules. His office drew criticism from some as being more about political optics than substance. Diplomatic Role In 2011, Obama appointed Eisen as U.S. Ambassador to the Czech Republic, a post he held until 2014. His tenure included anti-corruption messaging and various public relations events. Eisen often referenced his family’s Holocaust history during his time in Prague to strengthen diplomatic ties. Involvement in Trump Impeachment In 2019, Eisen served as Special Counsel to the House Judiciary Committee during the first impeachment of President Donald Trump. He played a key role in shaping the legal arguments for the Democrats. Afterward, he published a book titled A Case for the American People, which framed the impeachment in partisan terms. Books and Media Eisen has written multiple books on law, diplomacy, and political ethics, including The Last Palace, Democracy’s Defenders, and Overcoming Trumpery. He is a frequent presence in media outlets and cable news, especially as a legal commentator critical of conservative figures and policies. Recent Activity In 2025, Eisen launched a Substack called The Contrarian with journalist Jennifer Rubin, continuing his public advocacy on law, democracy, and anti-Trump rhetoric. What do you think?

The British government is reportedly exploring options for a digital ID card to crack down on illegal migration. In other words, the people of the United Kingdom are expected to have their rights and privacy violated because of the actions of previous administrations. The expansion of the surveillance state. NEW: Downing Street is reportedly considering a proposed 'BritCard' digital ID to crack down on illegal migration, rogue landlords and exploitative work [@guardian] pic.twitter.com/AXiXez8k9s — Politics UK (@PolitlcsUK) June 5, 2025 From The Guardian: The paper has been handed to the No 10 policy unit to flesh out proposals for a BritCard, which would be a mandatory digital credential that Labour Together claims could help avoid another Windrush scandal. But it said it would also help reduce vast numbers of visa overstayers, saying half of those whose asylum claims were turned down over the past 14 years were likely still to be in the UK. It proposes a free, secure digital ID, stored on a person’s smartphone using ministers’ planned gov.uk Wallet app, rebranded as the BritCard app. That could then be verified by employers, immigration, banks and landlords using a free verifier app. The proposal from the thinktank, whose founders include the No 10 chief of staff Morgan McSweeney, has been backed previously by dozens of Labour MPs, with the new paper endorsed by two “red wall” MPs, Jake Richards and Adam Jogee.

Digital IDs and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) could be seen as the end of personal freedom due to their potential to centralize control over individuals’ lives. Here’s why: 1. Surveillance and Tracking: Digital IDs, when linked to CBDCs, can create a system where every transaction, movement, or interaction is traceable. Governments or corporations could monitor spending habits, locations, and social behaviors in real-time, eroding privacy. 2. Control Over Finances: CBDCs, unlike cash, are fully digital and controlled by central banks. Authorities could impose restrictions, such as limiting transactions, freezing accounts, or enforcing spending rules (e.g., on certain goods or in specific regions), reducing financial autonomy. 3. Exclusion and Discrimination: Digital IDs tied to CBDCs could exclude those without access to digital infrastructure or who refuse compliance (e.g., due to privacy concerns). This could create a system where non-participants are locked out of economic and social systems. 4. Programmable Money: CBDCs can be designed with programmable features, like expiration dates or usage restrictions. For example, funds could be limited to “approved” purposes, stifling individual choice and enabling social engineering. 5. Loss of Anonymity: Cash allows anonymous transactions, preserving a degree of freedom. CBDCs, paired with digital IDs, could eliminate this, making every action accountable to a centralized authority. 6. Potential for Abuse: Centralized systems are vulnerable to misuse. Governments or institutions could weaponize digital IDs and CBDCs to silence dissent, enforce compliance, or punish nonconformity by restricting access to funds or services. While proponents argue these systems enhance efficiency and security, the trade-off is a significant reduction in personal sovereignty, as they grant unprecedented control to centralized entities over individuals’ lives. BREAKING: The Government in considering introducing a digital ID "BritCard" for all UK citizens. We must stop this! “Make no mistake: the new digital ID proposal reportedly being considered by the Government is another plan for a mandatory universal ID under a new guise."… pic.twitter.com/ICwglRMUqq — Big Brother Watch (@BigBrotherWatch) June 6, 2025 Per City AM: As it stands, Britain is the only country in Europe without a national ID card system – which has been viewed by proponents of the cards as a pull factor that draws more illegal migrants into the UK. In a 30-page report outlining the plan, Labour Together – now led by Jonathan Ashworth, a former shadow cabinet member, who was surprisingly defeated at the General Election – says that the plan would be relatively low-cost for a national project. Report authors said: “The additional cost would be modest relative to other forms of infrastructure – we estimate between £140-400m. “Applying internet-era test-and-learn design practices to the development of the BritCard would help to avoid the pitfalls faced by some public sector digital platforms.” Former PM Sir Tony Blair tried to put in place compulsory national ID cards during Labour’s last stint in government, but plans were shelved by the Cameron-Clegg coalition government that followed. This proposal is part of a broader push for Labour to put itself on the front foot on the thorny political subject of illegal migration, with Reform leading in the polls and following Tories’ 2024 drubbing in 2024 being in part due to a collapse in trust on this issue.

Noah here, and I’ve taken a full day to process everything and I want to share with you my current thoughts on the whole Trump vs. Elon mess. Obviously, I don’t have a crystal ball and I’m not privy to private conversations, so this just what I’m seeing and discerning from my vantage point. And I’ll admit right upfront, I don’t have a crystal clear read on this, but I’ll tell you what I’ve got worked out so far. Let’s start with the three main options about what happened yesterday.  As best I can tell, there are only three: It was 100% real and organic, and basically everything you saw should be taken at face value.  A big, bad blow-up over the Big, Beautiful Bill.  It got ugly fast.  Two Alphas duking it out live on Twitter. We’ll call this one “Kayfabe” or the “You Are Watching a Movie” option.  Basically, a staged blow up to push a larger, less obvious narrative. Elon got the black eye and almost immediately shifted and turned on Trump. Can you think of any others? I can’t. Let’s start with #3 and work backwards. It was almost immediately after this happened that Elon suddenly “turned”: OH NO: Elon Musk Joins The “Black Eye Club”? Look folks, there's a reason why we have reported on the "Black Eye Club" for 10+ years now... And I always say that whenever I can point to something and PREDICT the next actions based on past results, then that thing is much less likely to be a "Conspiracy Theory", right? So I'm not ruling out something related to the Black Eye.  The timing is too strange to completely ignore. One thing I'm fairly certain about is that he did not get the Black Eye because he told Little X to punch him in the face.  Sorry, but I don't buy that one. Next....the "You are watching a Movie" theory. I have also told you about this repeatedly over the past 5+ years. Is this just more of the same?  Rapidly racing to a crescendo-pitched ending? Very possible. One thing that jumped out at me about the blow up yesterday is how quickly it escalated and how wildly over the top it got. Yes, these are two Alpha Males and both fight hard. But it went so hard and so fast and so far it almost felt a bit "fake" to me.  I can't quite put my finger on it, but it was just so entirely out of character for what we've witnessed over the past 6 months. I'm supposed to believe Elon Musk "knows" Trump is in the Epstein Files and at the same time lets Trump essentially babysit Little X all the time? Sorry, I don't buy it. There's a huge disconnect there. One thing I DON'T think is at play is all the people claiming this was some sort of 4D Chess move to get the Democrats to call for the release of the Epstein Files. That makes no sense. Why would that be needed? The Trump Administration and Pam Bondi control the files. We don't need to build some big PR campaign for those to be released, Trump or Bondi could release them today if they wanted to. So I don't buy that theory at all, sorry. Last up....Option 1 -- what you see it what you get.  Just one big nasty blow up.  Could be.  I honestly don't know.  I can see potential for all 3 of these and I can't really rule any of them out. But I want to focus on the two things that almost no one is talking about, because I think the truth might lie with these and it's not something anyone is focusing on. I guess this falls under Option 1, and quite frankly it's the scariest and darkest of all the options. I hope this is not true, because if it is it's the worst case scenario for all of us. And it all focuses on two posts from Elon Musk yesterday that most people glossed right over in favor of the more salacious stuff. The first was Elon asking if he should form a new political party: 80% said yes. Wow. And the second was Elon's response to Ian Miles Cheong, seemingly saying President Trump should be IMPEACHED and replaced by JD Vance: Ok, now let me tell you what I see here. For those who don't know, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and JD Vance go way back and way deep. JD Vance is a relative newcomer, but Musk and Thiel were the "Paypal Mafia" and while PayPal broke up many believe the "Mafia" never did. Deep dive into that here: Elon Musk: “I’m Going To Execute The X.com Playbook From 22 Years Ago…” And here: Elon Musk, X.com, PayPal…It All Starts In 1999 So Musk and Thiel run deep. Thiel was deeply involved in Trump's first term. Thiel and Musk were instrumental in getting JD Vance on the ticket at VP. I'm not saying anything bad against JD Vance, I think he's been phenomenal and better than advertised in almost every way, I'm just stating facts that Musk and Thiel are likely the reason you have a VP JD Vance. Musk and Thiel are in deep with Palantir, which I covered here: Trump Taps Palantir To Create Master Database On Every American? Simply put, Musk, Thiel and the rest of the "PayPal Mafia" are "technocrats" who at their core believe technology can do everything better than humans.  Specifically, "AI". Now put it all together.... A new political party. JD Vance pushed to replace Trump. Many people have talked about strange prophecies or even books like the Ingersol Lockwood series that strongly imply Trump will be the "last President". You've heard that before, right? But what could that mean? I think there's a very good chance it means Big Tech, ran by people like the PayPal Mafia would love to create a new political party or even new political structure altogether that runs everything. Humans are fallible... Humans are weak... Humans are selfish... Humans make bad decisions... Wouldn't it be so much better if we just let AI make all the decisions for us and fix the mess politicians have created? Look how worthless they are! All they can do is pass a big Pork-Bill that is going to send the USA into bankruptcy!  (not wrong, by the way) Surely an emotionless AI could make much better decisions and save this Country! THAT is how the pitch will go, I think. Get ready, it's coming. And you heard it here first!

Tension between Trump and Elon Musk boiled over on Thursday after the President responded to the SpaceX founder’s thrashing of the Big Beautiful Act and its spending levels, sparking a very public feud between the two.
