    Citigroup announced Tuesday that it’s ending its policy restricting banking services to businesses selling firearms, citing “regulatory developments, recent executive orders and federal legislation.” The policy, which required retailers to limit gun sales to people over 21, was originally implemented in 2018 after a 19-year-old shot and killed 17 students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. However, in a statement released Tuesday, the bank indicated it will “no longer have a specific policy regarding firearms.” “The policy was intended to promote the adoption of best sales practices as prudent risk management and didn’t address the manufacturing of...

    The meltdowns I’ve seen by Kamala Harris supporters since Donald Trump exceeded all expectations and trounced her in the polls has been epic. They cannot fathom why over 73 million people flipped the lever for Trump over their savior. They are so out of touch with regular Americans that this election cycle should aptly be called their Bud Light moment. On April 1, 2023, Dylan Mulvaney, a man who calls himself transgender and dresses in women’s clothing, wears makeup, and had nearly 11 million social media followers, posted a clip advertising his partnership with Bud Light in conjunction with March...

    Anheuser-Busch heir Billy Busch has offered to buy back the business that bears his family name, if AB InBev offered to sell it. Busch said: “If they don’t want that brand any longer, sell it back to the Busch family. Sell it to me. I’ll be the first in line to buy that brand back from you, and we’ll make that brand great again.”

  • Bud Light tries to distance itself from culture wars after Dylan Mulvaney fiasco as it announces $3 million in scholarships for families of America's fallen

    Bud Light has announced a $3 million scholarship project for families of America's fallen or disabled first responders - potentially as part of an effort to distance itself from culture wars after the Dylan Mulvaney partnership fiasco. The beleaguered beer brand's parent company, Anheuser-Busch, is providing the funds for affected spouses and children alongside Folds of Honor, its longest-standing charity partner of over 100 years. It comes after the popularity of the beer plummeted and sales dropped 30 percent when conservative consumers boycotted the drink over its partnership with 26-year-old transgender influencer Mulvaney in April.

    SAINT LOUIS, MO — In an effort to repair the damage done to its image that resulted in it being relegated to "gay beer," beverage titan Bud Light has entered into a partnership with a sports organization where sweaty men in underwear hug and wrestle each other for extended periods of time. "This will totally fix things," said Bud Light marketing executive John Tenta. "We want to regain the market share we had when we were known as the go-to beverage for rugged, masculine consumers. That's why we're slapping our name and logo on a sport where men wear tiny...

    The US chief marketing officer of Anheuser-Busch InBev is stepping down amid the company's continuing slump in sales, following Bud Light's disastrous collaboration with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney earlier in the year. Benoit Garbe is set to leave his role at Bud Light's parent company at the end of the year, it was announced Wednesday, 'in order to embark on a new chapter in his career.' Serving as the company's CMO for just over two years, his tenure was marred by an April marketing debacle where a Bud Light partnership with Mulvaney led to a boycott by the brand's customers...

    WASHINGTON (TND) — Transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney was named to Forbes Magazine’s “30 Under 30” list this week. The list commemorates “young movers and makers changing the world,” according to Forbes. It has formerly featured figures such as singer Miley Cyrus and disgraced tech entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried. Sharing the news with her nearly 2 million Instagram followers, Mulvaney said the designation was a dream come true

    Embattled beer king Anheuser-Busch — which has seen sales nosedive over Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney fiasco — has a new dance partner and this one should be far less controversial. The Belgium-based brewer on Friday announced a long-term deal with the International Olympic Committee for the next three Olympics and Paralympic Olympic Games. However, the maker of Budweiser, Bud Light, Stella Artois and a slew of other suds will promote its zero-alcohol beer, Corona Cero, as the global beer sponsor of the games, the company said in a press release. The move “highlights a shared commitment [with the IOC] to...
  • Dylan Mulvaney branded 'unhinged' for bizarre late-night TikTok rant one year after Bud Light fiasco, insisting she's got projects in the pipeline and her '15 minutes' of fame is NOT over

    Trans TikToker Dylan Mulvaney has posted a late-night rant nearly a year after the Bud Light debacle, in which she insists she has plenty of work lined up and her '15 minutes' of fame is not over. Mulvaney, whose tie-up with the beer-maker last year sparked a costly boycott from conservatives, was reacting angrily to an online critic who had declared her '15 minutes almost over.' Wearing pajamas, rolling around in bed and repeating herself, Mulvaney rebuffed the troll, pretending to look at a wristwatch, saying: 'I think it's been a little longer than 15 minutes, darling.' Mulvaney insisted her...
  • Boycott time! Dylan Mulvaney's insulting new pop video isn't just misogynist - it perversely pushes alcohol, pills and risky sex on young girls. So, demands AMBER DUKE, do woke brands paying this trans influencer endorse such candy-coated obscenity?

    Hello, dolls! Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney has wriggled back into the spotlight to celebrate a second year cosplaying a biological female. The great brand-destroyer teased 10-million-plus TikTok followers this week with a 'surprise.' But did anyone anticipate the assault on eyes and ears that was about to be unleashed? Titled 'Days of Girlhood,' it was a music video no one asked for, named after the viral TikTok chronicle of Mulvaney's male-to-female gender transition. That social media series hit all of the classic sexist tropes: women are addicted to clothes, cry when they see bugs, regularly frolic in meadows and can't...

    Dylan Mulvaney, a flamboyant publicity hound who claims that he is a woman, has remained resolutely mum ever since he destroyed Bud Light, which was once the most popular beer brand in the country. After Mulvaney posted video of himself in April 2023 taking a bubble bath surrounded by cans of the brew with his cheesy mug front and center on each can, Bud Light sales went into a tailspin, and even now they have not fully recovered. Now Mulvaney is finally giving his take on the controversy, and — surprise, surprise — is playing the victim. Fox News reported...

    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

    Bud Light sales are never going to recover. And yet now is the time to buy shares of its brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev, say analysts at Citi. Analysts argue that the weakness in U.S. volumes — where Bud Light sales are deteriorating even after more than a year of a consumer boycott — are being offset by lower costs and ongoing strong margin expansion. Bud Light sales first started to fall following a backlash to a social-media campaign with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Even more than a year removed from the eruption of the controversy, Bud Light sales are still deteriorating...

    Just over one year following Bud Light’s terrible decision to hire transgender influencer and professional toddler Dylan Mulvaney to promote its once pro-America beer, the company's sales are plummeting. Again. According to the first-quarter earnings report released Wednesday, Anheuser-Busch, Bud Light’s parent company, has decreased 9.1% in revenue in the U.S. The news comes more than a year after Mulvaney dressed up as a wannabe Katherine Hepburn with black gloves, pearls and red lipstick in an attempt to help Bud Light sell more beer. Mulvaney was also gifted a custom Bud Light can with his face printed on it, which...

    Grocery stores that stock Bud Light are planning to shrink the shelf space allotted to the nation’s formerly top-selling beer — by nearly 20% in some parts of the country — after sales tanked following a boycott over its advertising partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The Anheuser-Busch brand — which was knocked off its perch this year by Modello after more than two decades at the top — will be squeezed out as store managers rearrange the alcoholic beverages section to give more precious real estate to better-selling beers, according to Bloomberg News. “Anheuser-Busch’s beers will lose a range...

    Bud Light found itself dethroned by Corona as Super Bowl champion in the battle of the beers as the embattled brand struggles to recover from the Dylan Mulvaney backlash. Sales in bars and restaurants crashed to just half of last year's figure despite a half-time ad and months of concerted effort to steer away from the trans-friendly image that cost the brand nearly $30 billion. Corona was the top-selling beer based on whole-day sales, according to data by restaurant engagement platform Union. But Bud Light's parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev had some consolation as its Michelob Ultra brand notched up most...

    Donald Trump has U-turned on his stance over 'woke' Bud Light and suggested the beer deserves a 'second chance' just weeks ahead of a fundraiser organized by a lobbyist for the beer's parent company. The presidential hopeful called for an end to the Bud Light boycott which was sparked by its disastrous campaign with trans-activist Dylan Mulvaney The former president said the partnership was a 'mistake of epic proportions' for which a 'very big price was paid.' But he insisted that parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev was not a 'woke company' as he threatened to release a list of those that...

    (WASHINGTON) — Today, Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien demanded Anheuser-Busch deliver its last, best, and final offer, after the company wasted another negotiating session putting forth an unacceptable proposal that threatens to kill Teamster jobs by closing breweries and permanently laying off Teamsters systemwide. After refusing to commit to protecting Teamster jobs since mid-November, Anheuser-Busch executives returned to the bargaining table this week with an offer to butcher the good-paying jobs behind its products. If the company does not reverse course and come to terms on an agreement that rewards and protects workers, 5,000 Teamsters will be forced to...
