#1 – Anheuser-Busch Puts out a New Statement on Dylan Mulvaney That Will Make No One Happy — by Bonchie

That is a statement that is going to make absolutely no one happy, and it’s another in a long line of missteps that Anheuser-Busch has made since the beginning of this controversy. When speaking of conservative reactions, it’s nice that CEO Brendan Whitworth is admitting his company got involved in something it never should have been involved in (he described it as a divisive issue). Yet, the statement lacks any direct admission that the Mulvaney stunt alienated customers.

Further, why has the executive at fault not been fired yet? She’s cost the company millions of dollars at this point. Is performance not a factor for the upper echelons of Anheuser-Busch? Whitworth says some good things about bringing people together, but when there’s no action following his words, it comes across as an attempt to brush the entire ordeal under the rug.

#2 – Biden Returns From Vacation Overseas, Leaves on Another Vacation, and Insults His Interior Sec — by Nick Arama

How nice that he can do genealogical research on his family on our time and dime. Most Americans are trying to figure out how to pay for gas and stretch their income to meet all of their expenses. Meanwhile, this guy — who is supposed to be serving us — is using our money to entertain himself.

But I think the thing that stood out there was how he seemed to be dissing his Interior Secretary. She didn’t come from anywhere? What does that even mean? Did she drop out of the sky? Was she born out of the mouth of the volcano like Pele, the Hawaiian goddess? Maybe she just sprouted up from the ground or popped out of the head of a unicorn.

#3 – Marjorie Taylor Greene Nails Eric Swalwell in Hearing, Mass Outrage Ensues — by  Bonchie 

What’s more appalling? Greene stating that Swalwell had an affair with a Chinese spy, or the fact that much evidence points to it actually happening? Democrats don’t want to go there for obvious reasons.

And while the back and forth is entertaining enough, shouldn’t the big question be whether Swalwell did sleep with a Chinese spy? The story is not made up. In fact, many mainstream outlets reported on the alleged affair at the time the news broke. Further, as far as I can tell, Swalwell has played coy since things went public, refusing to pointedly deny the allegation while relying on friendly press members to lay cover for him. For example, back in 2021, CNN’s Jake Tapper interviewed Swalwell but never actually asked him directly whether he had a sexual relationship with Fang Fang, the Chinese spy in question.

#4 – The Next Item on the Climate Cult’s ‘Naughty List’ – A Common Staple Food – Gives Scam Away — by Nick Arama

Leaving aside the questionable scientific conclusions here, what are they saying here about the growth of rice? Do they truly think they’re going to eliminate or reduce rice when so much of the world relies on it? Eliminating or reducing rice would decimate people, particularly the poor. We should stop feeding them to “help” the environment? That’s a heck of a message.

Talk about hating people and wanting to throw the world into chaos; eliminating rice might just do it. They don’t want us to use energy, they don’t want us to eat meat, and now they don’t want us to eat rice. Why don’t they just come out and say it — we are the carbon units that they have a problem with and seem to want to eliminate. Is the purpose to protect life on earth or to promote control of those lives? Because it sure looks like the latter.

#5 – WATCH: Megyn Kelly and Michael Knowles Team up to Totally Wreck Dylan Mulvaney and Bud Light — by Mike Miller

Anheuser-Busch’s monstrous Mulvaney fail will live in marketing infamy, alongside “New Coke” and other such disasters, which might make one think that this latest example of “Go woke, go broke” — while it won’t break the bank completely for A-B — would be a wake-up call to American corporations to stop pandering to a minute percentage of the population at the risk and expense of alienating loyal customers.

One would likely be wrong. When societies reach a point where right is wrong, and wrong is right, common sense and logic have already been “washed” down the drain, by some — like so much lousy beer.
