TOMS Shoes is getting a lesson in Business 101. The anti-gun corporate virtue signaling they have been deeply entrenched in doesn’t pay the bills. According to recent news, the Los Angeles-based company’s creditors are taking over TOMS in exchange for restructuring its debt. In a letter to employees, TOMS CEO, Jim Alling apparently shared the news that the deal will help the company deal with a $300 million loan due next year and will mean a new $35 million investment in the company from the new owners.
Two Left Feet
Last year at this time, TOMS was making news for its new gun control campaign, centered on getting Congress to approve flawed Universal Background Check legislation. In addition to direct lobbying, the campaign also involved a $5 million corporate contribution to gun control advocacy groups, a cross-country tour culminating in a rally and efforts to promote grassroots lobbying among customers.
One year later, we know that enough members of Congress were brave enough to reject the emotionally-charged legislation, which would have had no effect on criminal misuse of firearms. TOMS campaign failed. Customers didn’t run out to buy TOMS products in response to their corporate support for gun control. Unfortunately for TOMS, the business is now struggling.
It’s easy to see why any company, especially one based on social activism like TOMS, would want to weigh in on issues in our country and be seen as a virtuous member of society. The firearms and ammunition industry shares the goal reducing the criminal misuse of firearms, and has created a number of programs over the years to help address unauthorized access to firearms and to promote safe handling and storage practices.
A Mile In Our Shoes
The firearms and ammunition industry prides itself on high rates of safety and regulatory compliance. Our voluntary programs, often in partnership with state and federal government agencies, help to curtail the actual problem of guns getting into the wrong hands. We work to make sure states are submitting all prohibiting records to NICS. We provide millions of free gun locks and educational materials in all states. We train firearms retailers to spot straw purchasers, to comply with all laws, to use discretion when making transactions, and in how to keep their inventory secure. We work with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to help address the tragedy of suicides in our country.
In short, we know it’s time for Real Solutions. Safer Communities.SM to help continue the trend of reducing both violence and firearms accidents in our country. The firearms industry welcomes other companies in whatever industry to join us in our efforts. So, instead of lobbying for ineffective, irrational gun control policies, perhaps TOMS management should focus on selling shoes.

The Former Ukrainian President At The Center Of Biden Scandal Is Facing Mounting Investigations For Treason And Corruption

Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko , a key figure in the Biden-Ukraine saga and a leader who enjoyed considerable support from the United States , is facing growing legal problems at home .
Poroshenko is currently under investigation for a wide range of criminal charges , including state treason , tax evasion , abuse of office , usurpation of power , and legalization of illegal incomes .
Late last month , Ukrainian law enforcement searched the headquarters of Poroshenko ’ s European Solidarity party and a gym in Kyiv owned by the former president .
Moreover , the Ukrainian State @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to interview Poroshenko four times this month about the charges against him .

Investigators have also targeted several members of Poroshenko ’ s inner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ authorities detained Oleh Hladkovsky , a former senior defense official and a close Poroshenko ally , as he unsuccessfully attempted to leave the country .
Hladkovsky is under investigation over reports that his son Ihor used his father ’ s position to illegally smuggle spare parts from Russia and sell them to Ukrainian arms manufacturers at an inflated price .
Poroshenko , who lost to comedian-turned-politician Volodymyr Zelensky in a landslide defeat in last April ’ s Ukrainian presidential election , came to power in 2014 after a pro-Western political revolution shook the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to break Ukraine out of Russia ’ s orbit and instead align it with the United States and Europe .

On today’s podcast we cover the latest news on the Iranian missile strike in Iraq and the liberal response to it. Also, CNN settled with Nick Sandman, and the Senate is ready to move on impeachment without caving to the demands of Democrats.
Listen to the show:
Iran launched 15 missiles at Iraqi air bases where US soldiers are also housed, and either missed everyone or deliberately landed where no one would be killed. It was great news for the free world and was followed by a statement that hints that Iran might be content with that, for now, if the US does not retaliate. The President is set to address the nation this morning on the topic.
The hardest hit in the bombardment were the Democrats in and out of the media who were set to blame President Donald Trump for the loss of life, before we learned there wasn’t any, and who were gleefully spreading Iranian propaganda before the facts were known. There were also many media flubs, naturally, because they’re on the Democrats’ team. We get into all of it.
Speaking of bad days for journalism, CNN settled their lawsuit with Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandman after the network smeared the teenager when he was confronted by a Native American with a history of stolen valor.

Mitch McConnell has the votes to proceed to an impeachment trial without the need for input from Democrats in the Senate, just like Democrats did to pass the articles of impeachment in the House.

“It’s hard to remember now, but as recently as last week, most people didn’t consider Iran an imminent threat,” Carlson said on his program Monday. He needled Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for sourcing intelligence agencies as the reason Iran was perceived as a threat.

“Iranian Foreign Minister #JavadZarif just tweeted that it’s over as far as they’re concerned,” he wrote. “As far as we know, there are no dead Americans from tonight’s attacks. @realDonaldTrump seize this opportunity for peace. Declare victory. Shut it down.”
It’s not “Hannity.” But hey, it’s something.
Jake Lahut, a reporter who covers New Hampshire politics for the Keene Sentinel, remarked, “Every guest on Hannity’s show is treating their time like it’s a presidential briefing.”
Geraldo got that memo.
He just wasn’t on board with Hannity’s point of view.

Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney on Tuesday night blasted Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for attending a fancy dinner party as Iran struck multiple bases housing U.S. troops in Iraq.
Pelosi said she was “closely monitoring the situation,” but was then reportedly spotted at a dinner party in Washington D.C. less than an hour later. This caused Cheney to send out a tweet saying “Speaker Pelosi is an embarrassment and unfit for office.”
“Closely monitoring the situation following bombings targeting U.S. troops in Iraq. We must ensure the safety of our servicemembers, including ending needless provocations from the Administration and demanding that Iran cease its violence. America & world cannot afford war,” Pelosi tweeted right before attending a party in D.C.

An NAACP official in New Jersey was removed from his position following backlash to comments he made about Jewish people.
The Montclair, New Jersey, branch of the NAACP voted Monday night for education chair James Harris to step down for six months. The vote came after Harris said at a Dec. 30, 2019, meeting that the “Jewish community controls the Board of Education and the City Council but they spend huge amounts of money sending their kids to the yeshivahs, and they’ve gutted the budget for the black and Latino students who are left in public schools.”
Harris said Lakewood, New Jersey, residents feared “being replaced by these strangers who really weren’t friendly,” referring to Hasidic Jews, video posted online shows. He also said “people are very, very quick to label anything that’s critical of Israel or the Jewish as anti-Semitic. Excuse me, if the facts are facts, that doesn’t necessarily make it anti-Semitic.” (RELATED: Rashida Tlaib’s Ties To Anti-Semitism Run Deeper Than Previously Known)
