Ivana Trump, Ex-Czech, and mother of Junior, Ivanka, and Erik, is buried in Bedminster at Trump National Golf Course.

Then, Adam Graham, a Mayor in Oklahoma and one of six LGBTQ elected officials in that state resigned for fear of escalating threats against him. Finally, Hershey walked back an earlier “candy shortage” story this week by saying the company is on track to have plenty of goodies on hand for the ghosts and goblins.

Florida Governor Rick DeSantis is upset that parents brought their children to a drag brunch in Miami club R House. DeSantis wants to stop this activity and is using a 1947 court ruling that says men who impersonate women in a suggestive way can be considered a public nuisance. Equality Florida is fighting back. Then, Raul Carbajal left his three-month-old Siberian Husky puppy in the car with his mouth taped shut while he gambled at the Bellagio. It was 113 degrees when police rescued the puppy and arrested Carbajal when his luck ran out. Finally, more and more retailers are locking up everyday goods to stop theft.

Shop Talk looks at a recent list published through CNBC that identifies the 10 worst states in America based on quality of life, healthcare, and inclusion. Did your state make the list? Caught My Eye profiles Nintendo and their recognition of same-sex marriage despite Japan's ban of such unions. Also, a listener sent in a story about a Montana library’s new logo that is coming under fire for being a nod to a rainbow. We know that’s a call for anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, even though the company who produced the logo said it is a prism. Jeanne Bice, the QVC seasonal sweater and blouse queen who founded Quaker Factory, is our Business Birthday.

A Boise Idaho resident was told to remove the rainbow lighting from the front of his home. The tasteful display from Jordan Hall was present during June, but when the complaints came in, he decided to keep them up—since no one ever complains about holiday lights, for example. A hearing is set for August. Then, an elementary school teacher, Michael Thomas Pruden, has been arrested in the DC area for impersonating a police officer and assaulting gay men. Finally, Halifax Bank in the UK tells customers that are upset about the use of pronouns on employee name badges to go find another bank if they don’t like it.

Shop Talk covers the unfortunate trend of librarians coming under pressure from the culture wars. Many have decided to leave the profession as schools boards, legislatures, and parents have labeled the librarians as pedophiles, groomers, and providers of obscene material. This is the US in 2022.
