Unexpectedly and unintentionally, the hiring of Dylan Mulvaney as a celebrity endorser of Bud Light has provided a clarifying moment for conservatives. Two prominent Trump administration veterans have emerged as embodiments of the two strategic options that Republican officeholders and activists have traditionally embraced: Defer to major donors because “money is the mother’s milk of politics.” Go scorched earth on those who side with the forces trying to destroy our culture, society, and/or economy.

At my weekly men's get-to-gether card social, where good whiskey and beers abound, and politics, among other things, are discussed, 'Bud Lite' was soundly rejected. As well as Nike, professional football, Target and Disney. We're just a bunch of elderly (70's & up) old guys that vote with our wallets and I'm betting we're not alone.

There is no rift among conservatives over Bud LIght's pandering to trannies; the rift is among donor-influenced, pro-establishment populists and conservatives.

The company has other beers it produces. Bud Light was one of many. It's not even a beer really. It's basically water with coloring. There's nothing wrong with Bashing Budweiser for picking this mental nutjob as a representative for one of the beers they produce. They earned it. The question is, will they learn from this. Will other companies learn from this? My guess is they won't.

I am disgusted by politicians and CEOs who are so fearful of the loud minority and the journalists who make them out to be the majority. I was never a big proponent of boycotts, but I've changed my mind in the last couple of years. If corporations are going to be weak and bow to the crazy far left woke, essentially spitting in our faces, I'm not going to support them with my dollars. I've recently heard conservative pundits say that companies are ignoring the "go woke, go broke" threat, but I think the Bud Light debacle has opened conservatives eyes to the power of boycotts. We have to fight ESG and DEI.

As a Veteran, I've always appreciated that AB honored Veterans in word and deed, even when it wasn't the trendy thing to do. I sensed they were turning a corner when nobody was talking about the latest, patriotic, Clydesdale ad after the Superbowl. This confirmed what I suspected -- AB sold out to tyrannical DEI. Can't unsee it. Grow a pair AB.

At the risk of being called a troll or having TDS, I'm really tired of the Trump family. Donald is on the attack of a fellow Republican rather than Biden & Co. and Jr. is siding with potential corporate donors over the people who voted for his father. I'm sick of it.

If I were still teaching at Harvard Business School, I’d already be putting together material for a case study on the Bud Light marketing disaster, and I am reasonably sure that I would have plenty of company at HBS and elsewhere. The fiasco is already of historic proportions, joining New Coke as an example of failing to understand the customers of a brand. But, as with any good case study, there are layers and layers of analysis possible, and the initial hypotheses of who and what went wrong may yield to alternative views once more information is considered.

It has often been speculated what would happen to this nation if a decadently compromised president who willingly succumbed to extortion from both domestic and foreign interests were elected. That possibility is no longer in the realm of speculation. For the past 27 months the United States has experienced this devastating eventuality, as no president in this nation’s history has been as susceptible to domestic and international blackmail as Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. Nonetheless, in their unbridled hubris, the Democrats' puppet masters turned to Joe Biden whom they could portray as a “moderate” in order to defeat Donald Trump.

Back in October 2021, Alec Baldwin fatally shot the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza on the set of his film “Rust”. The incident was most likely an accident, but irrespective of his intentions, Baldwin was responsible for the death of Hutchins. Most humans feel remorseful even if they accidentally cause another human he slightest of discomfort. Most humans in Baldwin’s place would be immersed in an ocean of sorrow and repentance for a prolonged period. Baldwin’s actions left a young child without a mother and destroyed a family. Most humans with Baldwin’s wealth would have reached out to the victims and helped them in every possible way including financially.

Meghan Markle’s decision not to attend the coronation of King Charles III is said to be partly over “unconscious bias” regarding race, sources have claimed. Meghan Markle, the wife of wayward British Prince Harry, has reportedly refused to go to her father-in-law’s coronation over an ongoing race row she is having with the UK royal family, sources have told the UK press. It comes after confirmation that the American actress would stay in California instead of attending the event, with the justification given at the time being that she wants to celebrate her son’s birthday, which falls on the same day.
