Democratic Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar pushed back on claims Monday that the surge of migrants attempting to cross the U.S. southern border was part of a seasonal pattern that occurs year after year. Cuellar agreed with host Joe Scarborough that “this is not seasonal,” after the MSNBC host blasted The Washington Post for printing the claim during an appearance on “Morning Joe.” (RELATED: Nikki Haley Rips Kamala Harris’ Handling Of Border Crisis: ‘God Help Us If She Ever Becomes President’) Scarborough began by asking Cuellar what President Joe Biden’s administration and Congress need to do to alleviate the border crisis. He stated that the crisis was “not seasonal,” as he mentioned the story The Washington Post ran in March saying that the surge the country is seeing is part of a yearly seasonal pattern. “That’s just not true. I hope they corrected that lie,” he added before giving Cuellar an opportunity to respond. “You’re right, it’s not seasonal. Now, we do have …
Texas Democratic Rep Henry Cuellar Draws Primary Challenge From The Left
Progressive attorney Jessica Cisneros once again launched a primary challenge Thursday against Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar, seeking to oust one of the few Democrats who has been an outspoken critic of the Biden administration’s handling of the southern border. Cisneros lost to Cuellar by three points in 2020 in her first bid to represent Texas’ 28th Congressional District, which extends south from San Antonio to the U.S.-Mexico border. “Now, we’re back to finish what we started,” Cisneros said in her announcement video Thursday, attacking Cuellar for his “anti-immigration” bills introduced “with Republicans,” his pro-corporate votes, and for his role in bringing “defective” COVID-19 tests to his district early in the pandemic.

Mounting losses, confused strategy and bad timings—all that went wrong for Ford in India
1999 Ford Ikon “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently,” said Henry Ford. As the auto major he founded decides to shut shop in India , a look at Ford’s journey in this country reveals a series of missteps that pushed the auto major to the precipice. On September 9, Ford Motor Company said it was "forced" to end manufacturing operations in India and close its two plants due to "huge accumulated losses and lack of growth in a difficult market". Ford has accumulated more than $2 billion in losses over the past 10 years. When it arrived in India mid 1990s, the situation was tailor-made for the American giant. Maruti-Suzuki dominated the Indian roads and as the economy was opening up, aspirational Indians were looking for wider choices and a fitting challenger. Did Ford fill in that void? The answer is a firm no. It wasn’t quick enough in the first place. This allowed the then little known South Korean company Hyundai to pip Ford to the …
Here’s The One Democrat Who Voted Against The Party’s Abortion Bill
Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar was the only Democrat to vote against a bill that would legalize abortion at any point in a woman’s pregnancy and weaken conscience protections for doctors who do not want to perform the procedure. The Women’s Health Protection Act of 2021, sponsored by Democratic California Rep. Judy Chu, passed the House of Representatives in a 218-211 vote on Friday. Every Republican and Cuellar voting against it. Democratic Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal introduced a companion bill in the Senate, which is not expected to pass. Cuellar did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller’s request for comment. Pro-abortion EMILY’s List slammed his vote. “Congressman Henry Cuellar has shown us time and again where he stands, and that’s against abortion,” the group said in a statement. “While his home state has essentially made abortion illegal and inaccessible, Congressman Cuellar continues to stand against our rights to make our own health care decisions.” …

Only Three Democrats Voted For The 20-Week Abortion Ban
Only three Democrats joined Republicans to vote for the Pain-Capable Unborn Protection Act Tuesday evening, a bill that will now be sent to the Senate. The bill states that no unborn baby past 20 weeks gestation can be aborted, except in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother. Abortion providers that violate the law will be penalized and could be sentenced to five years in prison. Illinois Rep. Daniel Lipinski, from the 3rd Congressional District of Illinois and cosponsor of the bill, voted yes on passage of the 20-week abortion ban. Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar and Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson also joined Lipinski in favor of the bill. Before the vote, representatives engaged in heated debate over the bill. Allowing unborn babies to be aborted after 20 weeks “violates our most enduring values,” Illinois Rep. Randy Hultgren said on the House floor. “Unborn babies are not just a blob of tissue,” Alabama Rep. Robert Aderholt added. Rep. Gwen Moore of …

Gucci Parent Company Kering Implements New Fur-Free Mandate
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The fur is flying at Kering. Out the door, that is. Beginning with their Fall 2022 collections, the luxury goods behemoth will no longer use animal fur of any kind in products created by any of the group's 13 fashion brands. It's another move that cements Kering's place as a leader in fashion's sustainability movement along with several other initiatives. While the move is unilateral for the Group, individual houses began making changes as early as 2017 when Gucci announced they would stop using fur under the direction of creative director Alessandro Michele. (Previously in Gucci’s renowned comeback under Tom Ford’s glamorous direction, the brand frequently used fur.) Other fashion houses followed when Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen, Brioni and Saint Laurent progressively decided to follow suit. In 2019, Kering formalized and published a set of animal welfare standards that will continue to be practiced as the …
