Social media reports indicate things could even get worse for the beer that is making boycotts famous. To the uninitiated, the little asterisk on the upper right-hand corner of the Bud Light price tags at a few Costco stores — as seen in images now making the rounds of Twitter — is just a little speck of type. But in the universe of the members-only warehouse retail chain, the asterisk is noted as the “death star,” because when it appears on a label, it means the store does not plan to restock the product once its supply is sold out,...

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, Saturday, July 11. There has been no fighting to-day beyond a few unimportant skirmishes. Gen. MEADE's force are in a position to advance and give battle when the proper time arrives. ANTIETAM BRIDGE. WILLIAMSPORT ROAD, Friday, July 10 -- 8 P.M. Our cavalry to-day forced the rebel advance back to Funks town on the right and beyond Bakersville on the left. The fighting was not heavy but very handsome. Our fine to-night crosses the Antietam at a point between the Hagerstown and the Williamsport Road. The enemy is in force and shows fight....

July 12 (UPI) -- The Biden administration has announced plans to continue its reduction of hydrofluorocarbons, releasing a new rule that aims to cut the United States' use of the greenhouse gases by almost half starting next year. Hydrofluorocarbon is a category of greenhouse gases used for refrigeration and air-conditioning as well as in a number of other applications, but is linked to global warming. The final rule announced Tuesday by the Environmental Protection Agency will reduce HFC consumption in the United States based on historic levels by 40% between 2024 and 2028. The reduction will be on top of...

Several high-ranking officials in Joe Biden’s administration have had longstanding professional and personal links to the Democrat president’s son Hunter, newly discovered communications have revealed. Emails from the first son’s abandoned laptop show Hunter Biden has been communicating with top officials since before his father ascended to the presidency. According to the emails, Hunter has been in close contact with several top staffers since Joe Biden served as vice president during Obama’s presidency. Top officials with whom Hunter Biden had corresponded during the Obama administration included at least two Cabinet members, four top aides, and a campaign official. The correspondence...

The revelation that President Joe Biden frequently takes his anger out on his staff through rage-filled, profane outbursts represents the latest blow to the sweet grandpa image that the media sold to gullible voters in 2020. But Biden’s verbally abusive behavior has a fan in his most loyal media cheerleader — The View‘s Joy Behar, who said on Tuesday’s show that she is “turned on” by his anger. Watch below: Joy Behar says she’s “turned on” by Biden’s anger pic.twitter.com/yrrPkvJNjk — The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) July 11, 2023 “I like it,” Behar said. “He’s such a mild-mannered, sweet guy.” But...

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, a conglomeration of Lutheran denominations, had over five million members when it was launched in 1988, joining three independent Lutheran confessions with nearly 10,000 congregations and 65 synods. But now, in spite of the word “Evangelical,” this union is in decline. One of its churches, in Edina, Minnesota, throws a pagan sparkle into the deep meaning of “decline.”[1] This June, Anna Helgen, an LGBT Lutheran “minister,” stood in her Lutheran pulpit, dressed in pastoral robes, and recited what she called a “Sparkle Creed” as part of the church service. This liturgy was riddled with...

Let's check in on the depths of evil and totalitarian privacy violations being carried out by everybody's favorite social media mogul, shall we? Oh, looks like Zuck is buying all your tax return info so he can run even more manipulative and targeted ads to Facebook and Instagram users. A new report brought by Senate Democrats shows that Meta purchased personal financial information gathered from individuals' tax returns from three MAJOR tax prep software companies. If you got your taxes done with H&R Block, TaxAct, or TaxSlayer, there's a VERY good chance that Mark Zuckerberg now owns the info you...

A group of congressional Democrats reported Wednesday that three large tax preparation firms — H&R Block, TaxAct and Tax Slayer — sent “extraordinarily sensitive” information on tens of millions of taxpayers to Facebook parent company Meta over the course of at least two years. Their report urges federal agencies to investigate and potentially go to court over the wealth of information that the three company shared with the social media giant. In a letter to the heads of the IRS, the Justice Department, the Federal Trade Commission and the IRS watchdog, seven lawmakers say their findings “reveal a shocking breach...

Former President Trump is taking a risk in targeting Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R), picking a fight with an influential and well-liked figure in the first state on next year’s GOP presidential primary calendar. Trump narrowly finished second in the Iowa caucuses in 2016 but went on to win the GOP nomination, something he could easily repeat this cycle. However, an underwhelming performance in the Hawkeye State in 2024 could open the door to a viable challenger building momentum early in the primary calendar... Some in the state found the criticism of Reynolds to be uncalled for and the type...

The FBI colluded with a Russian-infiltrated intelligence agency in Ukraine to censor American speech, according to a new document out Monday. In an interim report published by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, House investigators exposed the FBI’s cooperation with foreign agents to orchestrate online censorship. “The Committee’s analysis of these ‘disinformation’ registries revealed that the FBI, at the request of the [Security Service of Ukraine (SBU)], flagged for social media companies the authentic accounts of Americans, including a verified U.S. State Department account and those belonging to American journalists,” the report reads. “At times, the...

'Voters are going to get behind us in ways that are probably bigger than we've seen in the last 20 or 25 years as Republicans.' Florida’s Governor is looking to a former California Governor as an antecedent for his current presidential run. During an interview on Wisconsin’s Mark Belling Show, Ron DeSantis suggested his candidacy could be the modern version of the 1980 election that saw Ronald Reagan defeat Democrat Jimmy Carter. “What I would just tell folks out there listening is Biden is kind of like Jimmy Carter. When Reagan came on the scene, the country lost confidence in...

California’s State Water Resources Control Board has proposed new regulations allowing toilet wastewater to be turned into drinking water. The new “toilet-to-tap” program aims to tackle the state’s water shortages. In a statement, the board said: [T]he State Water Resources Control Board announced today proposed regulations that would allow for water systems to add wastewater that has been treated to levels meeting or exceeding all drinking water standards to their potable supplies. The process, known as direct potable reuse, will enable systems to generate a climate-resilient water source while reducing the amount of wastewater they release to rivers and the...

No Labels, an organization advocating for a third-party candidate, announced that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) will be joining its New Hampshire town hall as speculation grows over whether the senator will make a third-party bid for the White House. Amid polling showing a potential rematch between President Biden and former President Trump, No Labels has been pushing to create a separate “unity ticket” as a third option for voters in 2024.

On Tuesday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi discussed the newest Twitter Files and pointed to one email exchange where Twitter “immediately” suspended accounts flagged by the FBI without investigation on Twitter’s part that Twitter later couldn’t point to solid proof to back the FBI’s allegations. Taibbi said, “In one shot, you can see the FBI asks to remove three accounts, that gets forwarded to Twitter, Twitter immediately suspends them, the accounts. But more importantly, when there’s a glitch, and the accounts remain up, the FBI immediately writes back and says, what’s the deal? We just wrote...

The Bible In Paintings The Best of LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY “LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY (1848 – 1933) was an American artist and designer who worked in the decorative arts and is best known for his work in stained glass. He is the American artist most associated with the Art Nouveau and Aesthetic movements. “In the beginning of his career, Tiffany used cheap jelly jars and bottles because they had the mineral impurities that finer glass lacked.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — California lawmakers in the Assembly Public Safety Committee on Tuesday blocked a measure that would have classified human trafficking of a minor as a serious felony under state law, an effort that attempted to keep repeat offenders behind bars and make them ineligible to be released from prison early.

At a press conference, Biden falsely claimed that Al Qaeda was no longer operating in Afghanistan. “I said al Qaeda would not be there. I said it wouldn’t be there. I said we’d get help from the Taliban. What’s happening now? What’s going on? Read your press. I was right.” In reality, Al Qaeda is operating training camps in six provinces, including Helmand, which hundreds of Marines had been killed and wounded trying to secure during Obama’s surge. The 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment lost 25 marines, including the son of former Chief of Staff John Kelly, and suffered 34...

Dylan Mulvaney had sought a change of scenery in Peru Monday “to feel safe” as the blowback from her partnership with Bud Light continues to unravel. The transgender influencer said she no longer felt safe at home in the US after raising ire among critics over becoming a rep for the beer brand in a March Madness contest. After finally returning to social media in April following a tight-lipped hiatus, Mulvaney is seemingly doing some solo travel around the world to get her mind off things back home. Alongside a video of herself interacting with llamas, the 26-year-old said she...

When three years ago we were told that if we stayed inside for 15 days we could flatten the curve of COVID-19 cases, there was no real effort to respond with civil disobedience. It was a profound mistake, one we paid dearly for and will again, if we don’t stand up to the tyranny. Yes, we know it was President Donald Trump who issued in March 2020 a set of guidelines that called for 15 days to slow the spread by limiting our travel and staying away from social settings. At the end of March, under more pressure from “experts”...
