Southern-based fast-food chain Cracker Barrel was blasted for going “woke” by some of its biscuits-and-gravy-eating customers after posting an image of a rainbow rocking chair to celebrate Pride Month. Aside from serving oversized portions of country staples, the chain is beloved for the Tennessee-made rocking chairs that line the porches at all Cracker Barrel trinket-filled Old Country Stores. Thus, the chain honored Pride Month in June with an Instagram photo of a rocking chair with each wood slat painted a different color of the rainbow in nod to the Pride flag.

Do companies not look into their customer base demographics? The last 2 months of miststeps in this area should be front and center in every marketing department.... Stay the hell out of politics and focus on delivering the best best product & service you can...

I'm not too fond of Cracker Barrel and their candy store/gift store gauntlet to begin with. This finalizes my decision to always find somewhere else to spend my money.

A can of spray paint could fix this right up. White would be a nice color.

You know that reminds me. I am sick to death of all the Google icons being rainbow colored. I am constantly hitting the wrong one. They need to be different colors. Instead they look all the same.

I used to seek out Cracker Barrel and Chic-fil-A on every trip south of the border because they are less common up here in northern flyover country. I guess I've had my last breakfast of greasy sausage gravy or glorified chicken nuggets. At the rate that fast food is going downhill I'll probably be packing my lunch soon.

In April all the Oregon Cracker Barrel restaurants closed their doors. I don't think that rainbow rockers could have saved them. After my initial excitement at them coming to Oregon I became disenchanted when I was served meager portions of eggs and hash brown casseroles.

Well, I guess "rainbows" give them a new kind of product or marketing strategy. For me personally, there version of a rainbow is nowhere near the beautiful rainbow God gives us. . .

The rainbow/pride comes across to me as a new marketing strategy or product. Their rainbow doesn't come anywhere near the beautiful rainbow God gives us. When I see these products in stores, it comes across as gawdy. To each his own. . .

Disappointing. I hope they feel the brunt of it like Budweiser. I am convinced it only takes one bad apple in a key corporate position to do massive harm. I read it this morning - "A little leaven leavens the whole lump." So true.

Today is the anniversary of a doomsday prediction made by Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg when she was just 15 years old June 21st 2018, stating the human race had five years to end fossil fuels or face certain death.

Transgender advocates have been taking the identity of women piece by piece — and now are trying to wrap their cause in the identity of black Americans who were slaves in the 1800s. “We’re calling it kind of the ‘rainbow Underground Railroad,’” said Bob McCranie, a real estate broker based in Dallas, Texas, who is now offering to help transgender advocates flee from states — such as Texas — where legislators have adopted popular laws to protect kids from transgenderism. “We’re trying to get people out quietly and get them to someplace where they feel safer,” McCranie told KFOR.com, appropriating the language used before the civil war to describe the networks that

Shootings across the country over the holiday weekend killed multiple people and sent at least 70 to the hospital. A shooting at a Juneteenth celebration in the Chicago suburb of Willowbrook, Ill., left one person dead and 20 people injured early Sunday morning, officials said. A DuPage County Sheriff's Office official said 20 people were shot and one person was fatally shot, per multiple local reports. "It was supposed to be like a Juneteenth celebration; we just started hearing shooting, so we dropped down until they stopped. They just kept going. After that, we literally scattered away," witness Markeshia Avery told ABC 7 Chicago. At least two people are in critical condition

Apart of its continuing effort to make our lives less convenient and pleasant President Biden represented by “climate czar” John Kerry has signed a global agreement with 12 other countries to place farmers under new restrictions to reduce emissions of methane gas, all in the name of fighting "climate change." This would effectively reduce cattle and other agricultural production, raise the cost of food, and deprive farmers (already beset with supply chain disruptions, drought and increased loan interest rates) and the communities which service them of a substantial portion of their living and lead to starvation for many.

Far-left ABC “News” anchor George Stephanopoulos’ attempt to corner Trump attorney Jim Trusty during their interview Friday went horribly wrong and the host went into meltdown mode as reported by the Daily Caller. As Gateway Pundit readers know, Stephanopoulos is a former Democrat advisor who once served as Bill Clinton’s communications director before entering the media. He has carried water for his favored party since. Stephanopoulos started his inquisition by trying to get Trusty to agree that Trump committed crimes. Trusty did not fall for the host’s trap, though, and completely turned the tables on him by pointing the actual serious crimes committed by Joe Biden.

The media and other Democrats repeatedly call Republicans fascists and dictators to intentionally mislead the public. Fascists are essentially authoritarians. Trump and other Republicans basically want to transfer power and money to the people, which is the opposite of what an authoritarian would do. Democrats are seeking to transfer as much power and money to the government, which is what fascists or dictators would do. Here are some examples: On healthcare, Democrats want to either have single payer, government-run insurance or want to dictate, as with Obamacare, exactly what must be in health care policies. Republicans want people and companies to have freedom of choice.

Tucker Carlson dropped the second episode of his new “Tucker on Twitter” series on Thursday and it was molten hot as the former Fox News host discussed the altering of the nation’s “taboos” so that racism and even pedophilia have now become permissible. Carlson’s latest video on the social media platform came after his former employer accused him of breaching his contract with the conservative network after the first installment drew over 100 million views, although the sequel may struggle to crack the same number due to it coming on the same night that the federal indictment of former President Donald J.

A submersible that is missing deep under the Atlantic with five people on board after diving for the wreck of the Titanic resembles a 'kit car' built from 'parts you can get from Amazon', a former Royal Navy admiral said today. Chris Parry described the small craft, named Titan, as 'very flimsy and fragile' - as a journalist who once sat inside claimed it features lights from a camping shop, off the shelf CCTV cameras and salvaged metal pipes for ballast.

Lauren Boebert of Colorado forcing a vote to impeach President Joe Biden this week, arguing now is not the right time, multiple sources in the closed door meeting told CNN. McCarthy argued that Republicans should let committee investigations play out and warning that jumping to impeachment now could threaten their slim majority, the sources said. The speaker noted that House Republicans have taken back the House five times in the last 100 years, and two of those times lost the majority the next cycle. “What majority do we want to be,” McCarthy asked his conference,

The Pentagon revealed on Tuesday that an overestimation in the value of weapons sent to Ukraine over the past two years has resulted in an extra $6.2 billion of U.S. taxpayers’ money earmarked for the Eastern European country. This figure is approximately double what was originally estimated and allegedly will be utilized for future security packages. Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh provided clarification on the nature of the error, explaining that the military services had used the replacement cost rather than the book value of equipment pulled from Pentagon stocks and sent to Ukraine.
