The P Town Bar in Pittsburgh was raided early this month for “compliance issues.” This should worry us all as kitted up police stormed the performance of nightlife icon Amanda Lepore for no apparent reason other than a nuisance complaint. Then, MAGA worshipping Senator Mike Lee of Utah, is trying once again to ban pornography in the USA. Finally, our favorite 80’s televangelist and convicted felon, Jim Bakker, shows up looking for a million dollars or he will be on the street. We all fondly remember his wife, Tammy Faye, who died in 2007.

The CEO of Target has taken a pay cut due to slow sales and his poor handling of the DEI and PRIDE month corporate initiatives. It might be the first step to showing him the door as sales continue to slide. We also look at the top 10 brand mascots. Caught My Eye, looks at Trump’s gaudy gilded Oval Office decor. Experts say all the over-the-top vases and golden tchotchkes on the mantle come from England and France. Our Business Birthday this week celebrates Josh Kesselman, founder and creator of RAW Rolling Papers.

We’re all business. Except when we’re not.

The Mayor of Salisbury Maryland has decided to paint over the city’s Rainbow Crosswalks to “maintain neutrality in public spaces.” The Rainbow crosswalks have been part of the city landscape since 2018. Out West, the city leadership in Salt Lake City and Boise have come up with creative work arounds to defy their state legislature’s ban on the Pride and other “special interest” flags. Finally, a road rage incident in the Philly suburbs goes viral when one of the drivers gets out of her car and poops on the hood of the other car. The “Rage Pooper” is also an OnlyFans Foot Fetish model.

Shop Talk comes from GQ Magazine this week as we look at “10 Habits That Are Making You Look Older.” In Caught My Eye, LEGO had special bags for a Star Wars May the 4th promotion destroyed the day after—much to the dismay of some staff. Also, an angry woodpecker looking for love on Cape Cod is damaging vehicle mirrors and windows as he marks his territory and tries to attract a mate. Our Business Birthday this week is Edwin Land, the co-founder of the Polaroid Company and inventor of the Polaroid Instant Camera.

We’re all business. Except when we’re not.

Oscar winning movie, “Brokeback Mountain,” is getting a 20th Anniversary re-release this June. With all the current anti-LGBTQ legislation and rhetoric taking place right now the timing is interesting. But first, a climber had to be rescued twice in two weeks when illegally traversing Mt. Fuji in Japan during the off season. The second rescue was triggered when he went in search of his phone and other personal items. Then, several large Las Vegas Hotels are eliminating their concierge staff as more people use their digital assets to plan their stay.

According to Outsports, back before social media took over in the early 2000s, recruits were described with phrases like “nice V,” “muscular,” and “tight bubble.” In other news, poor Caitlyn Jenner is being sued over her meme coin venture. She’s launched a GoFundMe for legal fees — and as of today, it’s raised a grand total of $14. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is looking to roll back services on the 988 Lifeline — potentially cutting critical options for Spanish speakers, LGBTQ individuals, and veterans. In response, our friends up north have stepped in: Canada’s suicide hotline is now open to Americans, with an option to be routed back to U.S. services if needed. Thank you, Canada.

Christmas may not be so merry according to the Toy Association which says more than 75% of toys destined for the US holiday come from China. The tariffs are putting supply chains and costs into chaos. Caught My Eye, looks at a “captain” that bought a German cruise ship on Craigslist to rehab, and an American YouTuber that may face five years in prison for contacting a remote tribe in India. Our Business Birthday this week celebrates Chuck Feeney, co-founder of Duty Free Shops and secret philanthropist.
