from 21st Century Wire:
The bottom just fell out of Bud Light’s business.
We’re now a month into the “Bud Light Backlash” and sales numbers from the week ending May 6, show a sustained decline in beer sales compared to before Bud signed up the bizarre falmboyant ‘trans’ personality – with month on month sales volumes still down.
by Karl Denninger, Market Ticker:
It has long been “de-rigueur” to attempt to prank someone in a command position of some sort on the phone with a “fake call.” Historically this is not the easiest thing to pull off but it has been done with some of the funniest being perpetrated by radio hosts of various sorts.
Today this threat is much-more serious; so-called “machine learning” can now, for virtually anyone who has their voice and image out in the public where it can be harvested, used to “mimic” said person not only over audio but video as well.
by Mac Slavo, SHTF Plan:
in a recent article titled: Why Putin Will Use Nuclear Weapons in Ukraine, Russia Matters claims that Moscow will use nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
The reason for this claim is that Russia has exhausted other options. “Recent developments” suggest that the Russian military commanders have exhausted their ability to effectively respond to a Ukrainian escalation in fighting. An influx of 300,000 new soldiers over the winter has done little to improve the fighting of Russian units, and the reported appearance of 1950s Russian tanks near the battlefield confirms that Russian materiel is running out.
from The Conservative Treehouse:
In the fifth week since the Bud Light backlash began, the latest scan data released shows a worsening drop in sales. The overall trend now shows Bud Light has lost a full quarter of its market position, dropping 23.6% in unit volume and -27.7% in dollar sales.
Despite these dollar losses, the parent company does not seem willing to address the root cause. Despite North American sales impacts, the Diversity Equity and Inclusion outlook of the Anheuser-Busch global company is still strongly entrenched in the branding. It does not appear the company is going to modify anything as the very vocal Alphabet ideologues have them captive.

Stunned and bewildered, Serbs are now struggling to find an explanation for the horror they just experienced.
Battered Serbia has just received even more nasty blows. Already traumatised by a multiplicity of psy-op and other assaults, the Balkan nation is now undergoing its bloody “Western values” rite of passage. In the first week of May, in quick succession, events heretofore unimaginable in that country took place in the form of two grisly mass shootings. One occurred in a primary school in Belgrade and the other in a village in the interior, each claiming at least eight innocent lives.
by Gary D. Barnett, Lew Rockwell:
“We are seeing a globalization of indifference. There is a culture of conflict, which makes us think only of ourselves. Makes us live in soap bubbles which, however lovely, are also insubstantial. We’ve become used to the suffering of others. It doesn’t affect me. No one in our world feels responsible.”
~ Jonathan Pryce
As should be very apparent, this is a contentious subject, a double edged sword of sorts, and one that requires open and honest explanation. It should be obvious, but it is not, that no one can forcibly open another’s closed mind, or tame and stifle his indifference. No matter the power wielded, no matter the desired intent, no matter a gallant effort, wasted or not; each person is a unique individual, regardless of his collective desires, or his cowardice in the face of adversity and human suffering.
by Kurt Schlichter, Townhall:
One of the most powerful tactics in the left’s arsenal is leveraging the reluctance of conservatives to accept that the foundational reality of our society has changed. We are not a free country in the sense we were just a decade ago – hell, the Durham Report just showed our ruling caste collectively framing a president they disliked and we all know there will be zero consequences. But part of the reason is human nature. The left exploits our normalcy bias, the tendency to assume that things right now are the same as they have always been. Yet, this is not normal. This whole political/cultural morass that America has fallen into is the opposite of normal. And some of us just can’t handle the truth.
from The Epoch Times:
The latest industry figures show that Bud Light’s sales slump deepened into May as the fallout from the brand’s engagement with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney continues to hammer Bud Light’s bottom line.
Sales volumes of Bud Light fell by 23.6 percent in the week ended on May 6, according to retail scanner numbers cited by Beer Business Daily that are based on Nielsen IQ data.

Netflix tried to change history by making Cleopatra black. Instead, it made history with the biggest TV fail yet:
Forbes magazine reports the controversial production has not just garnered the lowest audience score in Netflix history on debut, it has essentially the lowest audience score possible on Rotten Tomatoes at one percent.
Liberal viewers have rallied to pull it up to 2%.

Mind your manners, we were told as children. But may you one day have to mind your mind?
Mind-reading technology is still considered the stuff of science fiction, of, for example, the alien-origin children in movie Village of the Damned (1960) who could probe others’ thoughts. But China is already using “emotional surveillance technology” wireless sensors to monitor workers’ brain activity and emotional state. What’s more, this is mere small potatoes compared to what university researchers have just developed: a “noninvasive” means through which thoughts can be converted into text.

“The average Democrat knows the Biden family is profoundly corrupt and they simply don’t care…. Sam Harris spoke for all of them when he said it wouldn’t matter if Hunter’s laptop was packed w/pictures of dead kids.” — MartyrMade on Twitter
This is the dirty secret of our time: the device that the Woke / Progressive elite used to finally get rid of Donald Trump — Covid-19 — shoved them over a cliff Wile E. Coyote style. And now, as they freefall off that cliff, the supposed antidote to Covid-19 — getting vaccinated — is blowing up in their faces, again, Wile E. Coyote style. The elite now have to wake up every day and wonder if the vaccines they rushed to get will end up killing them prematurely. This is what has finally driven them crazy. And, of course, crazy people will do crazy things: like destroy their own country.
by Hannah Bleau, Breitbart:
Miller Lite is under fire after a March ad campaign caught renewed attention for its overtly feminist tone — which is now reigniting the outrage that ensued after Bud Light appeared to collaborate with biological man who believes he is a woman — as companies continue to embrace the radical woke agenda.
The “Bad $#!T to Good $#!T” campaign, ostensibly debuted in March for women’s month, attempts to right apparent wrongs for women in the beer industry.
