    UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak: "We have an existing set of laws that govern free speech and privacy," he said while on his way to a Nato summit in Lithuania. He said the government "is confident the BBC is investigating this both rigorously and rapidly". Parliamentary privilege gives MPs and peers unrestricted free speech in their debating chambers - meaning they can name names without fear of being sued.

    The devil’s purpose for temptation is to split us from the fabric of God’s love—to make us believe that God doesn’t keep His promises. He’ll use people, events, health, wealth, guilt, injustice, and even the Word of God to bring out the worst in us. But God has given us an arsenal to use against Satan. God’s people, His Word, and most of all, Jesus. When the devil comes to remind you of your past, you can use the Word of God and the work of Jesus to remind him of his future. Jesus has already fought the devil and...

    This is either another elaborate UFO hoax by the government, using unwitting dupes to tell a fantastical story, or……the U.S. government has in its possession 12-15 “non-human” spacecraft that prove the existence beyond any doubt that there is life elsewhere in the universe.

    When the West Orange Bake Shop wouldn’t supply cupcakes supporting the LGBTQ community, a firestorm ensued – which the Orthodox owner says is fueling more divisiveness JTA — The request for rainbow-frosted cupcakes came from a repeat customer — a local synagogue that had relied on the West Orange Bake Shop to make kosher desserts for its special events. But this year, bakery co-owner Yitzy Mittel decided to decline the order. He couldn’t bring himself to produce the Pride-themed goods. Mittel, an Orthodox Jew, had made a similar cake for an order the year before. But the experience unnerved him,...

    The body of a German real estate tycoon who disappeared last week was found dismembered and stuffed inside a freezer in a rental home in Thailand, according to local reports. Expat Hans Peter Mack, 62, had been missing since July 4 when his 24-year-old Thai wife said he failed to come home from a business meeting, according to the Bangkok Post.

    Bud Light's latest commercial showing a woman eating a watermelon in the middle of a storm sparked a wave of mockery on Sunday as viewers said the clip was representative of the brand's own calamitous marketing department. The ten-second clip posted to the beer brand's Twitter page shows a a female picnic-goer spooning large bits of melon into her mouth as wind sends paper plates and cans of Bud flying. She remains seated as though nothing at all is going on around her. The video is captioned: 'It's fine, this is fine,' likely a reference to a popular meme of...
  • Bud Light Plummets To 14th Place Among Beers As Anheuser-Busch CEO Pleads For Consumers To Think Of The 65,000 Employees Impacted By Boycotts

    As Bud Light, once a beloved contender among the country's favorite beers, spirals down to the 14th spot, the repercussions resonate far beyond the brand itself. A recent YouGov survey reveals the decline in Bud Light's ranking, casting it below competitors like Pabst Bue Ribbon, Miller Genuine Draft and Miller Lite. This seismic shift in popularity jeopardizes the livelihoods of the 65,000 people whose economic well-being is intricately tied to Anheuser-Busch InBev's success. Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth has taken full responsibility for the controversial promotion involving transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney that caused sales to plummet. In an interview with CBS,...

    Bud Light sales have been slipping, and the impact extends beyond the beer brand. Global glass producer Ardagh Group recently announced that it's shutting down two glass bottling plants — one in North Carolina and one in Louisiana. WRAL-TV reported that the closure of these two plants would result in roughly 645 employees being laid off. According to an internal memo obtained by WRAL, the decision was "due to slow sales with Anheuser InBev," the multinational brewing company behind Bud Light. In April, Bud Light partnered with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, who has 10.7 million followers on TikTok....

    Top Senate Democrats announced Monday that a key committee will vote on legislation to set up a code of conduct for the Supreme Court, tighten financial disclosure rules and beef up recusal requirements for justices. The Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act, led by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin, D-Ill., will get a vote in the committee on July 20, they announced in a joint statement. “Whether you agree or disagree with the most recent historic decisions by the Supreme Court, we hope we can all agree on one thing — these nine...

    The Telegraph via Yahoo News ^ | July 10, 2023 | Howard Mustoe
    Joe Biden’s race to embrace electric vehicles risks overwhelming US charging infrastructure and creating disastrous supply shortages, two of the world’s biggest carmakers have said. Toyota and Vauxhall owner Stellantis accused the President of being “overly optimistic” in his push for a rule that would require two thirds of new vehicle sales to be electric by 2032. The companies were quick to point out that they support a move to low-emissions vehicles and electric cars in particular but warned that they need customers to buy them and that costs are still too high for the mass market. The cars typically...

    Former President Donald Trump criticized Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) after the governor appeared alongside Casey DeSantis for a “Mamas for DeSantis” event, casting doubt on her supposed neutrality in the race. Trump said in a Truth Social post on Monday: I love Iowa, protected & expanded Ethanol, got 28 Billion Dollars from China for our great Farmers, ended the Estate (Death!) Tax on farms, made the best TRADE deals in history (USMCA, China, & many more), introduced the World to our FARMERS, & kept Iowa’s ‘First in the Nation’ status. “I opened up the Governor position for Kim Reynolds,...

    Just a day after Ridley’s op-ed ran, HBO temporarily pulled the film from streaming. There’s a deeper conversation to be had about how “Gone With the Wind“‘s racist depictions and white-supremacy-indulgent view of our nation’s past should be addressed today, which University of Chicago professor and Turner Classic Movies co-host Jacqueline Stewart goes into here.

    The Free Press ^ | 07/10/2023 | Michael Bailey, Professor of Psychology, Northwestern University
    I am a professor of psychology at Northwestern University. I have been a professor for 34 years, and a researcher for 40. Over the decades, I have studied controversial topics—from IQ, to sexual orientation, to transsexualism (what we called transgenderism before 2015), to pedophilia. I have published well over 100 academic articles. I am best known for studying sexual orientation —from genetic influences, to childhood precursors of homosexuality, to laboratory-measured sexual arousal patterns. My research has been denounced by people of all political stripes because I have never prioritized a favored constituency over the truth. But I have never had...
