Trump praises Sydney Sweeney ad, but does he know American Eagle is super WOKE?
Sydney Sweeney may be a registered Republican, but I have discovered that American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. is – and it pains me to write this – incredibly, unconscionably woke. President Donald Trump took time away from making America great again to praise the recent American Eagle jeans ad starring Sydney Sweeney, hailing it for not being 'WOKE.' But I have an urgent message for President Trump: SIR, YOU HAVE FALLEN INTO A WOKENESS TRAP THAT I ASSUME WAS SET BY RADICAL LEFTISTS! If you're a patriotic MAGA supporter like me who has been applauding the company for triggering the libs with its Sweeney ad, which features the 'Euphoria' star talking about having 'good jeans,' you might want to sit down. I have discovered that American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. is – and it pains me to write this – incredibly, unconscionably woke. American Eagle used the Sydney Sweeney ad to lure Trump into a woke trap! The company clearly tried to avoid wokeness detection by avoiding the usual red-flag DEI and instead calling its anti-American policy 'IDEA,' which stands for 'Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Access.' AEO's corporate website is riddled with wildly liberal ideas like this: 'Difference and individuality make AEO stronger, higher-performing and more innovative.' Opinion: MAGA is realizing Trump lies. How can they trust anything he says on Epstein? There are sentences like this that absolutely reek of the kind of inclusivity President Trump and his administration have been working so hard to defeat: 'A sense of belonging is critical for associates to bring their whole, authentic selves to work.' Authentic selves? Where am I, in some blue-state coffee shop surrounded by communist libs talking about their feelings? MAGA world has rallied around Sweeney and American Eagle Given the way my fellow MAGA Republicans reacted to the Sweeney blue-jeans ad, I thought American Eagle was a company I could support. The sensible right saw a few people on the left claiming that the 'good jeans' ad was messaging that a blond, blue-eyed white woman was genetically superior. So everyone from Fox News to Vice President JD Vance got their dander up and slammed the leftist ninnies. 'So you have a pretty girl doing a jeans ad and they can't help but freak out,' Vance said on a podcast recently. 'It reveals a lot more about them than it does us.' Right on! It was clear, at that point, that all reasonable Republicans should wear American Eagle jeans to prove their Americanness. That's why I went out and bought 20 pairs of them, confident that they would protect the bottom half of my body from wokeness. Trump praises 'Republican' Sweeney and says her jeans ad is 'HOTTEST' Then, on Aug. 4, the man himself, President Donald J. Trump, took to Truth Social to hail Sweeney as 'a registered Republican' who 'has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there.' His post concluded with: 'Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be.' BOOM! To celebrate, I put a second pair of American Eagle jeans on over the pair I was already wearing. Opinion: Trump is unpopular, polls show, and he's building an America most Americans hate Everything seemed perfect until I learned the truth about AEO. Turns out American Eagle is as woke as the rest of the lefties I saw that the company celebrated – gulp – Pride Month. I found the company's nefarious IDEA policy. I came across a 2022 AEO post that read: 'At AEO, we celebrate the diversity of one through the inclusion of many. Throughout the month of June, we will be celebrating associates who are members of the LGBTQIA+ community – highlighting their accomplishments, learning about their unique roles and hearing about their experience at AEO!' My two pairs of jeans almost fell off. When I saw an AEO brand talking about 'systemic racism,' my jeans fell off And then I found that back in 2020, the month after George Floyd was killed by a white police officer in Minneapolis, one of AEO's brands, Aerie, posted, 'We stand with the Black community,' writing that 'THE LIVES OF ALL BLACK PEOPLE MATTER' and that 'the more we understand systemic racism the more we can take action.' I referred to the MAGA-branded WOKE-to-English dictionary that I wrote and sell on Etsy, and sure enough, that's woke. Those monsters at American Eagle clearly recruited Sweeney, an innocent Republican, and used her to lure President Trump, Fox News and the entire MAGA movement into supporting a company that is, pardon my language, WOKE AF!! It's like we can't trust corporations to be honest about anything I guess I can take a little comfort knowing this also swings back at the handful of libs who got riled up about the Sweeney ad in the first place and condemned American Eagle as right-wing eugenicists. It's almost as if corporations insincerely play both sides of the fence, benefit from controversy of any sort and don't really have any strong beliefs outside of making money. Didn't see that coming.

Nebraska Republican faces rowdy town hall with questions about Epstein files and fired BLS chief
Rep. Mike Flood, R-Neb., held a town hall Monday that started with boos from the crowd shortly after he took the stage and ended with chants of 'vote him out' when the event ended. In between, the Nebraska Republican was consistently heckled while responding to questions about releasing more information on Jeffrey Epstein, President Donald Trump's firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner and cuts to Medicaid in the GOP's 'Big, Beautiful Bill.' Audience members began yelling at Flood and booing him when he talked about Medicaid and the impact of Trump's sweeping domestic policy law on hospitals in Nebraska. Flood argued that there's 'a lot of misinformation' about the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act,' which no Democrats voted for when it made its way through Congress this summer. Later he faced a question that suggested he was covering up files related to Epstein. Flood responded by saying he supports releasing the files and will co-sponsor a non-binding House resolution calling for their publication. Flood added that he supports an effort led by House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., to have Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell sit for a deposition. Comer last week postponed Maxwell's deposition, previously scheduled for Aug. 11, until at least October to let the Supreme Court decide in late September whether it will review her case. Flood also weighed in on the firing of BLS chief Erika McEntarfer, who Trump dismissed Friday shortly after the agency published figures showing that hiring in the U.S. had significantly slowed significantly in recent months. The congressman suggested he might have handled the situation differently, while adding that he does not know 'all the details' about McEntarfer's firing. 'I don't know what the situation was with the Department of Labor person. Neither do you. I don't know. I don't know,' Flood said. 'I can tell you I've been an employer for a lot of years, and there's always two sides to every story, and I don't know what that side was. I will say this, though, if all that person did was get the data out there, if all that, and I don't know that's the case, but if that's all they did, I would not have fired her.' Several Republican senators, as well as economists and statisticians, took issue with Trump terminating McEntarfer last week. Audience members yelled, jeered and booed throughout the event, with audible chants of 'free Palestine,' 'tax the rich,' and during the town hall's conclusion, calls to 'vote him out.' When Flood attempted to engage with audience members on those topics, he was largely met with more protests. Attendees asked at least three different questions about the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, specifically about Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz,' which one attendee called 'Alligator Auschwitz.' Inquiring about the immigration detention facility in Florida, one attendee asked Flood, 'How much do taxpayers have to pay for a fascist country?' Flood responded to by saying the majority of Americans voted for Trump and not for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. 'Americans voted for a, for a border that is secure, and I support the president enforcing our immigration laws, which, by the way, were written by Congress,' he added, prompting more boos. The Nebraska Democratic Party encouraged people to attend Flood's town hall, telling voters of Nebraska's 1st Congressional District in a social media post, 'you know what to do!' The party also encouraged attendance at Flood's last in-person town hall in the state, in May, when he was grilled by audience members and at one point conceded he had not read a bill in full before voting in favor of it.
