The Dylan Mulvaney effect claims another victim. After Anheuser-Busch decided to partner with self-proclaimed transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney — a man pretending to be a woman — for an ad campaign featuring him drinking Bud Light in 2023, Fox Business reported sales were down 29.9 percent for the week ending in January 2024 when compared to the previous year. That was 2023. Companies have had time to learn that customers did not want to see delusional men play dress up in a marketing effort, but here we are. Kathmandu Holdings, known as KMD Brands, has reported an $82.9 million loss...

Pregnant women are filming themselves taking Tylenol in defiance against Donald Trump's shaky claim the painkiller causes autism in children. The president announced that doctors in the US will begin advising expectant mothers against taking the drug because of an apparent link. Trump, 79, claimed that taking Tylenol 'is no good', adding that pregnant women should 'fight like hell' to avoid taking it, except for in cases of extreme fever. Several moms have gone viral on TikTok for posting videos of themselves taking Tylenol in protest. 'Here's me, a PREGNANT woman, taking TYLENOL because I believe in science and not...

[Catholic Caucus] Idiocracy in the Hierarchy"Dei" is the genitive for God (Deus) in Latin. That is, "of God."It is also, coincidentally, the English abbreviation for the movement/ideology known as "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" (DEI), an affront to both God and the equality before the law that is the basis of modern Western Law. It is a complete corruption of all that is good and noble in both Christianity and the Law, and it should be abhorred by all good Catholics. And, of course, it is simply pronounced D, E, I -- not "day-ee" (as Dei is, in Latin).Anyway, this mere...

Dr Aseem Malhotra, a British doctor who works on the US health secretary’s “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, is a prominent sceptic of mRNA vaccines and has been invited to the conference by Nigel Farage. He believes that Mr Farage supports his plan to pause the rollout of all vaccines until they have been...

Protesters are targeting the Hamptons as part of a Labor Day weekend action against billionaires A small group of protesters walked into the iconic American Hotel's restaurant in Sag Harbor this weekend to convey a message they filmed for the world to see: "Tax the rich." Sag Harbor is a village in East Hampton that has long been a premier destination for the wealthy. Labor Day weekend is one of the busiest times of year for the otherwise sleepy enclave. "You're all here in the Hamptons enjoying $200 caviar as though your money isn't funding an actual fascist regime!" one...

Two pals took turns shooting each other in the head with a rifle while wearing kevlar helmets inside a home — with one man now being charged with the other’s murder, according to authorities. The two pals were inside O’Donnell’s home — firing at each other with a rifle while wearing the bullet-resistant helmets when Prout was seriously injured by the gunfire. Officials did not announce the type of rifle or how far away the two were from each other while taking the tragic target practice. O’Donnell was charged with murder on Thursday and is currently booked in the Harris...

Kim received an alert on her phone that someone was at her front door. To her surprise, it was a SWAT team with their armored vehicle, about to break down her front door and ransack her home. Eventually, detectives with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department realized they had arrived at least 5 years too late to find their suspect. Leaving behind over 20 grand worth of damage to Kim's home, they offered no explanation, no apology, and refused to pay for the damage they caused.

The NFL is continuing its on-field social justice messaging for a sixth straight season. All 32 teams will feature an end zone message of their choice at each home game throughout the season, selecting from four options: “End Racism,” “Stop Hate,” “Choose Love,” or “Inspire Change.” Once again, “It Takes All of Us” will be stenciled in the opposite end zone for all games. The only change from 2024 is that “Inspire Change” replaces “Vote.” These messages will complement the league’s other cause campaigns such as Salute to Service and Crucial Catch, which will also appear in end zones during...

A wild brawl broke out among a group of swimsuit-clad boaters at a Florida lake over the weekend — in which one man was knocked unconscious and left floating face down in the water, shocking video shows. The unruly fight happened at Lake Winterset in Polk County, in front of young children relaxing on the lakeside with their families, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said. Seven men and a 17-year-old boy were arrested, Sheriff Grady Judd announced Tuesday, as he vowed to make an example out of the hooligans.

Friedrich Merz knows how important uncontrolled mass migration was at the last election, so has promised to crackdown on the vast pull factors encouraging people to move to Germany. Yet much like his pledge to get a grip of illegal migration, this alleged crackdown appears to consist far more of rhetoric than of action. As such, Germany’s Federal Employment Agency is actively promoting Bürgergeld—the citizens’ benefit paid to those with no income or who do not earn enough money to support themselves—to young migrants. A page on its website is written in English “for people from abroad,” and leads with...

"Yesterday, an unhinged pro-Hamas protester targeted a former IDF soldier...

Fact Check: Real photo shows Epstein accuser Chauntae Davies giving Bill Clinton shoulder massage in 2002 Claim: A 2002 photo accurately depicts 22-year-old Chauntae Davies, an accuser of Jeffrey Epstein, giving former President Bill Clinton a shoulder massage.

The classic rock group known as the Steve Miller Band has announced that they are canceling all remaining dates on their current tour because of the weather, or more specifically, the ‘extreme’ weather conditions brought about by climate change. Rock and roll just isn’t what it used to be, apparently. The group made the announcement on Twitter/X. Variety reports:

Jewish New Yorkers for Mamdani A political ad of Jews in New York who support their own demise.

'I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they’re idiots,' Jamie Dimon ... JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon panned New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani as "more a Marxist than a socialist" and criticized Democrats who he says spend too much time on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. Dimon urged voters not to support Mamdani after the New York state representative won the Democrat primary for New York City mayor last month in a campaign that included pushing for a rent freeze and city-owned grocery stores. "He's more of a Marxist than a socialist, and now you...

Zohran Mamdani doubles down on plan to target ‘whiter neighborhoods’ with higher taxes — and says billionaires shouldn’t exist Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani doubled down on his plan to jack up property taxes on “richer and whiter neighborhoods” on Sunday — and also asserted that billionaires shouldn’t exist. Mamdani claimed that his soak-the-rich proposal was “not driven by race” — despite his campaign platform explicitly targeting white homeowners. “That is just a description of what we see right now. It’s not driven by race. It’s more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being under-taxed versus...

In a rare display of bipartisanship, Representatives Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) have introduced a concurrent War Powers Resolution directing President Trump to withdraw U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities involving Iran unless expressly authorized by Congress. The measure comes in the wake of Operation Rising Lion — the name given by Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu for Israel’s attack on Iranian nuclear facilities on June 13, which has quickly escalated into a tit-for-tat exchange of missiles between the two nations.Massie and Khanna’s resolution invokes the War Powers Resolution of 1973 and asserts that the president must terminate any...

At 11:25 in this video, a protestor who traveled to Egypt with a bunch of other protestors, asks an Egyptian law enforcement officer, “We could do it in America, why can’t we do it here?” I think that’s an excellent question. But I think his timing is horrible. He, as well as all of the other protestors, should have done some research on Egypt’s laws regarding protesting and immigration before they traveled to Egypt. And I’d say the same thing for any other country. Always research the laws in any country that you plan to visit, before you make your...

They should have put this protest on ice. A massive raid on a suspected cartel member found in Arizona with a huge stockpile of drugs and guns was interrupted by “idiots” who thought it was “an ICE raid,” according to a sheriff. Investigators had spent around six months investigating the unidentified cartel member, who had crept back into the country despite previously being deported, according to Pinal County Sheriff Ross Teeple [snip] “Even when it was explained to them [protesters] that this was a criminal case, where we were taking a criminal drug smuggler, a known felon off the street...
