Illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios The nation's craft beer market is at an inflection point. Driving the news: Independent brewery production remained flat at 24.3 million barrels in 2022, according to an annual report released Tuesday from the Brewers Association, the industry's trade group. The number of new breweries opening decreased for the second consecutive year, while the closings rate increased to 3%. Why it matters: Outside of the pandemic slump, this is the first time in history the industry didn't see year-over-year production percentage growth, Axios has learned. The association has tracked production since the mid-1980s and the previous low point...

A video circulating online that appears to show a large group of young people grabbing, punching and attacking a woman in downtown Chicago has been seen more than 14 million times since it was posted by a local crime blog CWB.

In a split second, a large group of young people begin punching and kicking the woman as she appears to fall to the ground and isn’t seen again. The clip is just 20...

@RepMTG The Biden crime family participated in human trafficking by soliciting prostitutes from the United States and abroad in countries like Russia and Ukraine. There is an entire crime enterprise wrapped around Joe Biden and his family. @GOPOversight has a much bigger investigation to do than ever thought possible.

A Department of Defense assessment of locations proposed to build offshore wind farms on the Atlantic coast found several areas to be “highly problematic” due to their proximity to U.S. military training sites, Bloomberg reported on Monday, publishing a Pentagon map of the areas in question. A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed to Fox News on the same day that the warnings published by Bloomberg were an authentic assessment of proposed areas for offshore wind development, stating that the Defense Department would “continue to work” with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), responsible for greenlighting the offshore wind deals, to find...

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg blasted Anheuser-Busch over its patriotic-themed commercial featuring Clydesdale horses, saying that Bud Light’s parent company needed to “get the horses out” following backlash over its decision to partner with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. “Don’t let them scare you. Lets us scare you,” Goldberg said at the end of the segment. Goldberg took umbrage over the ad because it suggested that “horses are so much more American than trans people.” SNIP Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin praised Bud Light for making a “smart move” in partnering with Mulvaney since it was a way to make...

A nearly 60-year-old mathematical problem has finally been solved. The story began last fall when David Smith, a retired print technician from Yorkshire, England, came upon a shape with a tantalizing property. The life-long tiling enthusiast discovered a 13-sided shape — dubbed the hat — that is able to fill the infinite plane without overlaps or gaps in a pattern that not only never repeats but also never can be made to repeat. This elusive shape is known to mathematicians as an aperiodic monotile or an einstein, a clever pun that takes its name from the German words ein and...

According to a Department of Justice press release, 45-year-old Zottola hired 37-year-old hitman Himen Ross, who also received a life sentence, to kill both his father and brother in an effort to keep the family’s two dozen Bronx multi-family rental and commercial properties valued at $45 million. On Oct. 4, 2018, known New York City mobster Sylvester was gunned down in what law enforcement described as a mafia-style assassination at a Bronx McDonald’s drive-thru while ordering a cup of coffee. A reputed associate of New York’s Bonanno crime family, Sylvester was waiting in his vehicle to pick up his order...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s upcoming tell-all is being described by her publisher as a “warning” about the threat to American democracy posed by former President Donald Trump and his allies. Little, Brown and Company ​calls the book by Cheney, one of two Republicans on the House select committee that investigated Trump’s actions in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot a “gripping first-hand account from inside the hall of Congress … by the House Republican leader who dared to stand up to it.”​ Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, lost her Wyoming congressional seat last August...

VIDEOBecause AI, especially including ChatPGT, has been developed primarily by liberals, it is no surprise that AI is just a liberal jerk. Unfortunately, unlike most liberal jerks, AI is highly dangerous due to the powers given to it. I'll be honest and confess that until today I did not take the AI threat seriously UNTIL I listened to the first hour of the co-host of the Steve Kane Radio Show, Brian Craig, PROVE just how dangerous AI has become by asking the ChatGPT AI certain questions. That shook me up to the extent that I too, for the first time,...

Jack Smith, the Special Council appointed to investigate former President Trump, is said to be preparing to charge Trump with fraud for "using false allegations of vote fraud to dupe supporters into donating $200 million to his campaign fund during the period between the November 3, 2020 election and January 20, 2021, Trump's last day in office." "Wire fraud laws make it illegal to make false representations over email to swindle people out of money," Smith said. "What could be more false than Trump's assertion that Joe Biden's 81 million votes to his 74 million votes was not proof that...

The title of Peter Scazzero’s Chapter 2 of Emotionally Healthy Spirituality[1] is: “Know Yourself That You May Know God: Becoming Your Authentic Self.” Scazzero’s title is enticing with its promises and draws individuals into his system of trying to discover oneself through psychological means rather than from the Word of God. However, we can only know ourselves accurately through what God has revealed in His Word! Moreover, we don’t get to know God by knowing ourselves outside of Scripture! We only know Him through His own words of self-revelation. We are in grave error when we focus on ourselves and...

In the face of Joe Biden’s failing economy, President Trump reminded Americans that just a few years ago, his administration had rocketing oil and gas prices at all-time lows. “Gasoline has just hit a 5 month high,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Now that Biden has emptied the Strategic Oil Reserves, which should never have been done, here we go again…And so unnecessary. I had oil and gas at long term Record Lows – And NO INFLATION!” he added.This week, AAA’s national average on the price of gas was $3.76 per gallon. Their highest recorded average was June 2022, when...

House Republicans are expected to grill Office of Refugee Resettlement director at hearing Tuesday on HHS failure to vet, monitor and track unaccompanied migrant children, whose arrival at the border has grown more than 10-fold under Biden. Four years after Democrats made political hay out of migrant children being separated from their parents at the border, Republicans have turned the tables on the issue amid evidence the Biden administration has lost track of as many as 85,000 minors it allowed to enter the country unaccompanied by parents, leaving many prey to cartel extortion, forced labor, abuse and trafficking. The extraordinary...

President Donald Trump presented a sparkling policy pitch on Tuesday that delivered a bullet point action plan for cleaning up American streets and getting the homeless population the help that they need.“Our once-great cities have become unlivable, unsanitary nightmares, surrendered to the homeless, the drug addicted, and the violent and dangerously deranged,” Trump said in a video. “We are making many suffer for the whims of a deeply unwell few. And they are unwell indeed. The homeless have no right to turn every park and sidewalk into a place for them to squat and do drugs.”Agenda47: Ending the Nightmare of...

Fetterman, 53, spent two months at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center receiving treatment for clinical depression. The dazed and confused Senator looked like a slob as he arrived to Capitol Hill.

When you talk about election meddling, you can’t forget what Dems did in 2020 by shamelessly burying the Hunter Biden laptop story via censorship and lies. It was one of the biggest “all hands on deck” flagrant abuses of power many of us have witnessed in a US election. Sadly, 2020 had a lot of shocking and disheartening moments like that. However, the cherry on top of the left’s censorship sundae was when 51 former “top intel” officers signed a letter claiming Hunter’s laptop was “Russian disinformation” without even investigating the device. But when Hunter’s laptop was confirmed “real,” those...
