The polarizing marketing partnership between beer giant Bud Light and trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney was launched without approval from senior executives of parent company Anheuser-Busch (AB), according to a new report. The partnership unveiled on April 1 drew intense backlash from some quarters, with musician Kid Rock posting a video of himself shooting at cases of Bud Light, and country singers John Rich and Travis Tritt dropping ties with the brand. On the other side of the debate, podcaster Joe Rogan and shock jock Howard Stern have both slammed the furious backlash as overblown, with Rogan saying: 'I think it’s...

FOX POINT, Wis. (AP) — Cardinal Stritch University, a Catholic liberal arts college, is closing, a year after celebrating its 85th anniversary. “I wish there was a different path we could pursue,” President Dan Scholz said in a video Monday. “However, the fiscal realities, downward enrollment trends, the pandemic, the need for more resources and the mounting operational and facility challenges presented a no-win situation.” The university was known as St. Clare College when it was started in Milwaukee in 1937 by the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi. It was renamed for Cardinal Samuel Stritch in 1946 and later...

You may not have to throw out your expired at-home COVID-19 test as many of the dates have been moved past their printed expiration dates. The printed expiration dates were determined by a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved shelf-life of about four to six months, but further data shows that they may continue to be accurate for months longer. Among the at-home COVID-19 tests with extended shelf lives are brands such as Abbot BinaxNow, iHealth Rapid Antigen Test, CareStart by Access Bio. Multiple rounds of at-home tests were mailed out to U.S. residents for free, typically from iHealth,...

Peeps, the popular yet incredibly divisive marshmallow candy, unfortunately have many strikes against them. Conceptually, I have to admit I find it somewhat upsetting to take a chomp out of a baby chick (with eyes, no less!). The experience is only made worse by the strangely tough marshmallow and the sticky sweet sugar that gets everywhere. Not to absolutely drag Peeps to hell, but there is no candy that makes me feel ill faster. Now Peeps get one more strike: Carcinogenic chemicals have been found in their dyes, according to Consumer Reports. (The news didn't stop The New York Times...

Former SNL star Victoria Jackson went on an unpromoted rant about homosexuality at a city council meeting in Franklin, Tennessee. The 63-year-old comedian previously quit the show to live a 'pious life', and got up to the podium to slam the gay community at the meeting to discuss a gay pride parade. She said: 'God hates sodomy. He hates homosexuality. He said it's an abomination. God hates sexual immorality of all kinds. 'And God hates pride. Proverbs 11:12: When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. 'The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of...

Mayor Eric Adams said Thursday he has picked a handsomely paid “rat czar” out of thousands of applicants — but wouldn’t say who “she” is. The up-to-$170,000 position will go to a person who passionately “hates rats” and wants to wipe them out as the city’s rodent population soars, Adams said at a press conference in the Bronx. “We put out a call for a rat czar and we got thousands of responders. We dwindled it down to one person that we’re getting ready to announce. The first thing I asked her was, ‘How do you feel about rats?’” Adams...

If you support a school system that won’t teach children to read, do math, learn the simplest events in history, or understand the most ordinary facts about the world we live in, you’re guilty of child abuse. Maybe not sexual child abuse but certainly academic child abuse, education child abuse, cultural and intellectual child abuse, cognitive and psychological child abuse. You're guilty. Look at the evidence. It's the size of Texas. To flee from your guilt, you might try to deny the undeniable, and believe the unbelievable, for example, that the Education Establishment cares about improving education. That's funny because...

Shadows are interesting things. They communicate a reality, yet, they themselves are not really real. They indicate the thing that is coming, yet, they are not the things themselves. Pastor Ken Ortize (Calvary Spokane) The late Chuck Missler once said, "...there is evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it are also only ghostly images, projections from a level of reality so beyond our own it is literally beyond both space and time." While I don't know if I completely share that same sentiment, we do know that certain things and places on earth are but a type...

They couldn't find the Supreme Court leaker who put Supreme Court Justices lives in danger, but magically, they can find 21-year-old low level National Guardsman "responsible" for exposing the truth about Ukraine. And the same people that want to take away your guns, are waging war, in a foreign country, without permission from congress. Think about that.

In one stroke, no-nonsense Elon Musk exposed the Left-wing prejudices at the heart of Auntie’s reporting Every so often, there comes along a piece of car-crash TV so deliciously excruciating that it affords hours of harmless fun. Think of Prof Robert Kelly in the middle of a solemn live interview on North Korea when his gleeful toddler, pursued by her horrified mother, came crashing through the study door to say hi to Daddy. Even better for sheer comic embarrassment, I reckon, is the interview the BBC’s North America Technology reporter, James Clayton, did this week with the world’s second-richest man...

The Biden administration is looking at expanding how it monitors social media sites and chatrooms after U.S. intelligence agencies failed to spot classified Pentagon documents circulating online for weeks, according to a senior administration official and a congressional official briefed on the matter. The possible change in the intelligence-gathering process is just one potential shift as officials scramble to determine not only how the documents leaked but also how to prevent another damaging incident. President Joe Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin were briefed about the disclosure last week, administration officials say, but the secret documents appeared online in early...

Alex Jones breaks down the clips of global leaders awakening to the Deep State coup AI takeover as they attempt to warn others.

Just a terrifying thought that I have been having is the final tool that they will use to neutralize Trump is that like 30 days before election they will suddenly acknowledge that Trump is the real sitting president, and the voting fraud was real. They will shrug and go oh well all the while pointing to the constitution saying that Trump is not eligible for a third term. They get to kill 4 birds with one stone by eliminating Biden and whoever his running mate is and take out Trump and his running mate and the real puppets are in...

“During the - 2016 - election season, the Trump campaign ran an ad implying Soros was part of an anti-American global conspiracy” ...
