Bud Light parent company Anheuser-Busch appears to be trapped between a rock and a hard place as it grapples with polarization over its paid partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Last week, a Missouri distributor canceled an event featuring the famed Budweiser Clydesdales, citing safety concerns. 'They never expected the reaction that they got,'...

U.S. — In a match made in heaven, a beverage that tries to pass itself as beer has hired as its spokesperson a man trying to pass himself off as a woman. "For decades, we've been putting carbonated backwash in a beer can and pretending it's beer," said Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth. "Who better to represent our brand than a guy throwing on a dress and pretending he's a woman?" Long a staple drink of people who hate actual beer, Bud Light felt putting Dylan Mulvaney's face on a can would also attract people who hate actual women. "As a...

Former acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Tuesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that his old boss, former President Donald Trump is the only Republican who can’t win the 2024 general election. After Trump announced his candidacy, Cooper asked, “Do you think this is good for the Republican Party?” Mulvaney said, “No, I don’t. Because I think he’s the only Republican who could lose.

An 18-year-old activist, who recently 'detransitioned' from male back to female, has called President Joe Biden's stance on 'gender-affirming' medical treatment as 'dangerous.' Chloe Cole, who transitioned to male at 13 before later regretting her decision at 16, said she believes the president is 'trying to advocate for further experimentation on children.' She previously recalled her path from transitioning to 'detransitioning,' indicating how taking puberty blockers and having surgery 'irreversibly and painfully' damaged her body. Her regret stemmed from a belief that she was influenced by social media, not gender dysphoria, and she now directs blame toward the medical professionals...

Trump’s one-time chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says that only a small number of people who were “very close” to Donald Trump could have tipped off the FBI, resulting in the raid that occurred earlier this week. “This would be someone who was handling things day-to-day, who knew where documents were, so it would be somebody very close…” Mulvaney told CNN. “My guess is there’s probably six or eight people who had that kind of information.” According to Mulvaney, whoever spoke to the feds was close enough to Trump that he or she not only knew about the existence of...

Former White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Thursday on CNN’s “New Day” that someone very close to former President Donald Trump must have been the FBI informant. Keilar asked, “This is someone with knowledge inside who told the feds that there was additional material at Mar-a-Lago, directed them where it should be, clearly was concerned enough to tell them this information they should have besides the 15 boxes of material they got in the winter. Does that change your mind? Is that now sufficient when you have someone actually aligned with him drawing the attention of the...

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attend a reception at the residence of Ambassador William F. Hagerty, U.S. Ambassador to Japan. [Note: see the Japanese guest to understand how twitchy Ambassador Hagerty is.] Accompanying the President and First Lady are: chief of staff Mr. Mick Mulvaney, USTR Robert Lighthizer and Asst to President Mr. Rob Blair (helps Mulvaney). The funniest thing about this video is how President Trump (not a politician) is sizing up the room based on executive business acumen; and simultaneously the room is sizing up Donald Trump based on his status as President Trump. Japanese...
