Walmart's grooming Valentine

By John Labriola - Valentine's Day is named for St. Valentine, the third century priest who was martyred for performing Christian weddings during a time of persecution in ancient pagan Rome. But Walmart stores are celebrating Valentine's Day the only way woke corporations know how – by grooming minors with graphic LGBT materials.

Based on a reader tip, the Citrus Crusader recently checked out the large Valentine's Day product display area at the Inverness Walmart at 2461 E Gulf to Lake Hwy.

The Valentine-themed aisles featured several books from the illustrated "gay teen romance" series Heartstopper,  which also took up virtually an entire shelf in the store's regular book section. Heartstopper, by self-described "asexual" author and illustrator Alice Oseman, was recently turned into a Netflix series that has been condemned for normalizing not only homosexuality but also transgenderism among young people, helping fuel the alarming rise in sexual mutilation surgeries on minors. 

In addition to the graphic novels, the Inverness Walmart's Valentine display featured "The Heartstopper Coloring Book." Located in the young children's section of the display, the coloring book features page after page of main characters Nick and Charlie making out. 

A survey of the Walmart store in Lecanto turned up a similar find, but when the Citrus Crusader brought the issue to the attention of the manager on duty at the time, he agreed the "Heartstopper" materials were inappropriate for young children and pulled them from the children's sections. 

But managers at the Inverness Walmart refused to take action, saying removing the grooming materials would make them "haters against the LGBT community." Courtney, a top manager at the Inverness store who refused to give her last name, insisted that any directive to pull the materials would have to come directly from Walmart's corporate office in Bentonville, Arkansas. 

A Citrus County shopper last week expressed her disgust over the displays on Walmart's online survey system at survey.walmart.com

"Am more than disturbed over the easy to reach display of vile children's coloring books demonstrating anti-Christian abhorrent acts of child grooming and pornography," she wrote. "Walmart should be ashamed of their choice and I look forward to new competitors which will be arriving soon."

Residents who wish to complain about the displays should call the Inverness Walmart at (352) 637-2300. Walmart's national customer service line is 1-800-WALMART. An online feedback form is also available at corporate.walmart.com/about/contact/store-corporate-feedback

Schlabach still causing Citrus County problems

Image
By John Labriola - Citrus County voters thought they had seen the last of former County Commissioner Ruthie Schlabach after her humiliating election loss last year. Sadly for the public, Schlabach is still finding ways to cause problems for the county.  The latest controversy involves her role as a lobbyist for The Southern Group. Last month, she convinced the commission's current chairwoman Rebecca Bays to nudge County Administrator Steve Howard into secretly signing a $3 million appropriations request to the state legislature to widen County Road 491 on behalf of the lobbying firm's client, Metro Development Group, which has an open application to build a 5,000-unit project along 491 called Tuscany Ranch.  In an email to Howard, Schlabach asked him to sign the funding request as soon as possible.  “That way, we can show you the money!” she wrote. The problem is that the rest of the commission never approved or even knew about the request, a serious breach of protocol, ...

"No Kings" demonstrations dishonor the nation

Image
By John Labriola - This past Saturday was the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, an important date that coincided with Flag Day and President Donald Trump's birthday. It was a day to celebrate America, and President Trump did so in style with a patriotic military parade in Washington D.C. that honored all the heroes who have put their lives on the line to keep our nation safe. The Democrat Party chose to spend the same day attacking President Trump's popular agenda and defending criminal illegal aliens in what they called "No Kings Day," with angry demonstrations across the country. Here in Citrus County, the angry minority of Kamala Harris voters, who represented 26 percent of the vote last year compared with the 72.41 percent who voted for Trump, took over the intersection in front of the Old Courthouse in downtown Inverness with obnoxious signs calling President Trump a tyrant and "king." Local crossdresser "Rhonda Santis," who has been identif...

Library board bows to haters of Charlie Kirk

Image
By John Labriola - The Citrus County Library Advisory Board (LAB) meeting last week turned into a hate fest against Charlie Kirk, as leftists angered by a motion to commemorate him with a library display outnumbered residents supporting the idea. Rita Fox of Lecanto said Kirk, who was assassinated on Sept. 10 by an angry leftist, deserved it.  "When you preach hate, things like that are bound to happen," she said, attacking Kirk for rejecting Marxist ideas like critical race theory, for which she accused him of "white supremacy." "In the end, the violence he rationalized and the racial fear he amplified converged in his own fate," Fox threateningly stated.  Later in the meeting, she and another liberal woman stormed out shouting obscenities at LAB Chairman Justin Strickland.  Other leftists said Kirk was a "racist," "bully," "bigot," "homophobic," "incredibly divisive," and a "white Christian nationali...
