@alanplayersart @Canellelabelle @dam6369 There's a difference between communicating with the press and leaking to the press. Multiple royal reporters (e.g., Rebecca English, Richard Eden) have remarked that while the Wales team (KP) communicates, it does not tend to leak like BP or some other royals and public figures.

"...cashier told me that @Walgreens is an 'inclusive' store, and therefore they have no American flags on display...."

"American" is an inclusive term. As in, all citizens born or naturalized in America, aka the United States of America. God Bless the USA

[C. Bradley Thompson @CBradleyThomps1]

It's July 4th. I repeat it's July 4th.

Just went into @Walgreens pharmacy. Noticed that they had no American flags on display, although they did have other flags on display above the cash registers. I asked politely if they had any American flags on display anywhere in the store. I was told "no." I asked why. The cashier told me that @Walgreens is an "inclusive" store, and therefore they have no American flags on display.

Looking at his timeline I'd say this Neocon still suffers from Trump derangement. Biden son plea deal falls apart when judge discovers DOJ hides details (immunity in perpetuity), Biden family corruption looking highly probable, & he thinks press/govt witch hunt target is amazing.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Kind of amazing.

With all due respect, your comment is incredibly false and misleading. If you cared about black youth, you would clean up your district, address crime, and broken families. Affirmative action in higher education disproportionately benefits affluent and immigrants and their descendants. @RepMaxineWaters

@richardaeden How odd. I recall the Cambridge/Wales family releasing pictures of William and his children around Father's Day in years past, and I'm not British or a royal journalist. Also, doesn't TTC normally falls on 2nd Saturday in June? Seems to be the King who has changed things up.

There is no substitute for a responsible, loving parent. A child who has one is blessed. Two such parents is a massive headstart toward a well adjusted next generation.

[Jason James @jasonjamesbnn]

Liberals, this is the problem.

I don't have an issue with Pride month. I'm a straight married man with kids. I have gay friends. I've been to Pride parties and events. I'm comfortable in who I am. I even laugh along when my gay friends make fun of my masculinity. It's ok to poke fun at ourselves- we should do it as often as possible.

You can have Pride months, years, decades- whatever you choose. If you want to celebrate your sexuality every day for the rest of your life, be my guest.

But what I am not ok with is the expectation that I should throw my kids into the celebration just because you believe it's the virtuous thing to do. I'm not obligated to expose my children to anything I don't feel is appropriate for their level of understanding and maturity. It's my job as a parent to decide when they're ready to learn about the more complicated aspects of human life, and if I don't think the time is right then that's just what it is. You don't have the right to make that decision for me and you certainly don't have the right to sneakily introduce them to confusing concepts around sex and gender when I'm not present. That's called grooming and it's tantamount to luring a child for sex. I will educate them on these matters when I feel they're ready. That sentiment is not equal to hate or bigotry, it's just called being a responsible parent.

Furthermore, I deeply resent this postmodern view on gender being forcibly thrust upon the gay community as if they now have to carry the mantle for transgenderism because liberals just assume they're the same thing. They're not the same thing. At all. Most gay men and women bear as much connection to transgenderism as heterosexual society does. Your proclivity to add a letter to an ever growing acronym because you discovered some new sexual identity you don't understand is showing us what you really think... They're a freakshow. Toss them into the circus tent with the other absurdities.

I don't believe in that. Nor do I believe that I should be encouraging my kids to take part in it either. They will learn about the world as they grow, and as they learn I will be there to explain the more difficult concepts. That's my job. That's what I do.

LEAVE MY CHILDREN OUT OF YOUR FUCKING POLITICS.

Pride is a sin, but only if you are White.

@barristerlawusa Suspect that's just the tip of the facade. What a way to live your life. Must be exhausting, but I ran out of any sympathy long ago. Not a fan of bashing family or professional victimhood in any form.

@RoyallyBelle_ Love both. The Elie Saab ceremony dress is unique, absolutely gorgeous. Sequined banquet dress looks like the green JP she wore to Pakistan 2019...which would be masterful planning ahead.

At this level of world affairs, it's both. One of monarchy's advantages is the ability to create relationships with other world figures on a personal basis. They are emissaries of Britain on behalf of government, but not specifically of government as a PM, cabinet minister or MP.

@Canellelabelle I’m curious.. is this seen as a mix of work and personal time from the Prince and Princess of Wales? We are certainly being treated with wonderful videos and photos of this event?! Xx

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to the end of the day. Never voted. Never loved a woman, or owned a home. They gave their lives fighting Hitler and the Nazis, so today kids can call people they don't agree with Hitler & Nazis or silence them.
