In 2023, Bud Light had one of the worst years of its existence as it faced a massive boycott and lost its spot as the top-selling beer brand in America. The controversy surrounding Bud Light erupted in April of that year after the beer brand featured Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender social media influencer, in a social media campaign that promoted a $15,000 giveaway

Senator Ted Cruz has weighed in on Representative Ilhan Omar and issued her with a warning after allegations have swirled that the progressive congresswoman married her brother so he could become an American citizen. Cruz shared an article on X, accusing Omar of the reported sham marriage, writing: 'If this is true, then Omar faces criminal liability under three different statutes.' The Republican senator then cited three US laws, including Federal Marriage Fraud, State Incest Laws, and Tax Fraud. Federal Marriage Fraud prohibits any American from knowingly entering into a marriage to evade immigration laws. Meanwhile, all state incest laws...

The US is engaging in “extreme rightwing tropes” with echoes of the 1930s and threatening “chilling” interference in European democracies, British MPs warned ministers on Thursday. The House of Commons rounded on Donald Trump’s national security strategy, which stated that Europe was facing “civilisational erasure” and vowed to help the continent “correct its current trajectory and promote patriotic European parties”. Matt Western, a Labour MP and chair of parliament’s joint committee on the UK government’s national security strategy, said: “The United States consensus that has led the western world since the second world war appears shattered. “The prospect of United...

Justice served. & Juliet is the hit Broadway musical created by the Emmy-winning writer of Schitt’s Creek & pop music’s #1 hitmaker.

FOOTAGE from Syria shows hordes of Vladimir Putin's troops fleeing the country in military trucks after a decade of bloodshed. And satellite pics from a Russian airbase on the west coast reveals how Vlad's men have been forced to take apart their attack helicopters and air defence units before leaving hot on Assad's tail.

Kentanji Brown Jackson may not know what a woman is, but she knows what it is to go to bed one night as just an ordinary Supreme Court justice and to wake up the next day as a Broadway star. Yup, she's hitting the Great White Way (or, maybe, in her case, the Great Black Way) to fulfill a childhood dream: taking a turn in a Broadway musical.Interestingly, the particular musical she's chosen, "& Juliet," is a tawdry pro-transgender show. I think we can now guess how Jackson will vote on Tennessee's "no 'gender-affirming' care on minors" law.The Hill reported...

Donald Trump has guaranteed to end the war in Ukraine if elected president, vowing to do so before his first day in office. The recent outpouring of support for Donald Trump has led world leaders to consider the possibility of a second Trump presidency. Perhaps no one would dread a second Trump term more than Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky, who Trump has deemed the greatest salesman in history for extorting the west for hundreds of billions while providing nothing in return. In an interview with the BBC, Zelensky suggested that Donald Trump simply doesn’t understand the war in Ukraine. Zelensky is...

Taylor Swift performed at the third and final night of the Eras tour‘s London stop on Sunday evening, during which a surprise guest joined her on stage: her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Kelce, dressed in a tailcoat and top hat, literally swept the pop star off her feet during the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” transition of Swift’s show at Wembley Stadium. He then performed a short routine alongside Swift’s dancers, who were wearing the same attire as Kelce. Sunday night marks the last of three shows at Wembley Stadium, though Swift will...

Kamala Harris has once again demonstrated that she lacks any sense of rationality and decency. In a tweet that defies logic, she celebrates “LGBTQI+ children” with a photo of her embracing a man—cross-dressed like a sex worker—at a “pride” event. This isn’t about inclusion—it’s a horrific display of moral bankruptcy. Imagine the Vice President of the United States endorsing such grotesque behavior, encouraging children to adopt lifestyles suited for adult strip clubs rather than becoming citizens who contribute to society. This isn’t progress—it’s madness. Harris and her cronies exemplify a dangerous trend where leaders push radical ideologies on our youth,...

he Kremlin has warned the United States is facing potentially “fatal consequences” after the Biden regime greenlighted Ukrainian missile strikes on targets within the Russian mainland. “I would like to warn American leaders against miscalculations that could have fatal consequences,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said, according to the Russian state news agency RIA. “For unknown reasons, they underestimate the seriousness of the rebuff they may receive.” “I urge these figures (in the U.S.) … to spend some of their time, which they apparently spend on some kind of video games, judging by the lightness of their approach, on...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) joined an anti-Israel commentator this week in blaming the Abraham Accords peace deal and the opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem for Hamas’s massive terror attack on Israel on October 7. “AOC” also agreed that Trump’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights — which are not claimed by Palestinians, but were taken from Syria in a defensive war — was also “directly” responsible for October 7.

Retired Army Col. Karl Nell claims nonhuman intelligence not only exists and has been to Earth but has been actively interacting with humanity. Nell made the statement during a live chat at the SALT iConnections conference, which is billed as a conference for “disruptive innovation” in finance and geopolitics. Nell cited his previous experience on the Pentagon’s UFO/UAP task force while making the claim. He has previously suggested the government has agreed to hold back top-secret information for some time and suggested that failing to disclose it would be “catastrophic.” Nell said the interactions between nonhuman intelligence and humanity is...

The prosecution has finally rested in the criminal case against former President Trump, having presented nine bullet-proof pieces of evidence that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Trump is guilty. Here they are: Trump said he's innocent: Exactly the sort of thing a guilty person would say. Before the trial, the prosecution's star witnesses both said Trump was innocent: It doesn't get any more cut and dry. The judge decided Trump was guilty before the trial even began: It was that obvious. No one in America has ever been charged with a felony for this crime before:...

A series of young women have revealed they were sucker-punched at random on the street in Manhattan in a worrying series of attacks — with at least one perpetrator still at large. Mikayla Toninato, 27, told The Post she was frozen in shock when she was punched in the face by a man over six feet tall on the corner of 14th Street and Fifth Avenue on Monday at 2 p.m. moments after she left her class at Parsons School of Design. “I didn’t see him coming at all. I screamed out of shock. He knocked my head back so...

Palestinian sources claimed that 50 people had been killed — including civilians — as Israel launched an airstrike Sunday night in Rafah that targeted several major Hamas commanders. The IDF issued a statement describing the airstrike: Earlier this evening, an IAF aircraft, in an IDF and ISA intelligence-based strike, eliminated the terrorist Yassin Rabia, the Commander of Hamas’ leadership in Judea and Samaria, as well as Khaled Nagar, a senior official in Hamas’ Judea and Samaria wing.

Boeing is set to launch its first crewed space mission in June without fixing a small helium gas leak on its troubled Starliner spaceship, officials said Friday. The vessel, under development since 2010, has been plagued by technical problems and has yet to fulfill its purpose of ferrying astronauts to the International Space Station, allowing Boeing's rival SpaceX to zoom ahead with its Crew Dragon capsule. Starliner was supposed to finally fly astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the orbital outpost on May 6, but the mission was scrubbed hours before lift-off after a faulty valve was discovered on...
