Chicago - Several Chicago bars announced Friday they will not be selling Anheuser-Busch beverages in response to the company’s recent controversy surrounding transgender activist and influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Anheuser-Busch, whose products include Bud Light and Goose Island 312, partnered with Mulvaney last month. (Snip) “In view of Anheuser-Busch InBev’s abandonment of its support of transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, the subsequent reprehensible and divisive comments by its CEO … 2Bears Tavern Group is discontinuing all Anheuser-Busch InBev products including Busch Light, Bud Light, and Goose Island 312,” the post said.

The flattering analogy followed former Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan for many of the years that he presided like a colossus over the Illinois General Assembly.
It was a tribute to his brilliance as a political tactician, mastery of legislative rules and understanding of how politics really works. (Snip) decide whether the ComEd Four — former CEO Anne Pramaggiore and lobbyists McClain, John Hooker and Jay Doherty — conspired to win Madigan’s favor on ComEd-backed legislation by plying him with lucrative favors worth $1.3 million.
Defense lawyers, obviously, dispute the charges, asserting the government is trying to criminalize traditional lobbying practices. They describe it as “lawful ingratiation.”
Hong Kong - Chinese authorities were preparing Sunday to release a man who disappeared three years ago after publicizing videos of overcrowded hospitals and bodies during the COVID-19 outbreak, a relative and another person familiar with his case said.
Fang Bin and other members of the public who were dubbed citizen journalists posted details of the pandemic in early 2020 on the internet and social media, embarrassing Chinese officials who faced criticism for failing to control the outbreak. The last video Fang, a seller of traditional Chinese clothing, posted on Twitter was of a piece of paper reading, “All citizens resist, hand power back to the people.”
GOP-controlled legislatures in South Carolina and Nebraska failed on Thursday to pass anti-abortion legislation.
The "Heartbeat Act" in Nebraska would have banned most abortions after six weeks with exceptions including rape, incest and the life of the mother. The measured stalled in the state legislature and a vote to overcome a filibuster of the bill failed by a vote of 32-15. Two senators abstained from voting.
GOP state Sen. Merv Riepe called for the bill to be reconsidered and proposed an amendment to move the ban to 12 weeks instead of six weeks. The amendment did not receive a vote.

Are Still Paying for Biden Nominee Julie
Su’s $31B Mistake 8 replies
Julie Su is on Capitol Hill auditioning to be President Joe Biden’s next labor secretary, but back in her home state of California, businesses are paying what some call the "Su Tax"—a hike in payroll taxes to make up for the massive fraud that took place on her watch during the COVID-19 pandemic. (Snip)"It’s an incompetence tax: a price private citizens are being forced to pay for their government’s failures," Kiley told the Washington Free Beacon. "The predicament that small businesses in California now find themselves in—facing double taxation to make up for the government’s negligence—is another example of why Julie Su’s
The Fairfax Bar and Grill in Indiana alienated some of its patrons after it condemned them for criticizing Bud Light's association with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. (Snip) However, one venue in Bloomington, Indiana, has made headlines with a contradictory message calling for "open conversations" about the subject, yet demanding those who disagree to "leave" their establishment. "We are tired of all of the hate. We are very open to debate and discussion and it’s truly a shame that we can’t have open conversations about this important political and cultural topic.
Despite many of them having only just entered the workforce, Generation Z — those born in 1997 onwards — is already getting a bad rap at the office.
According to a recent survey of 1,300 managers, three out of four agree that Gen Z is harder to work with than other generations — so much so that 65% of employers said they have to fire them more often.
One in eight have let go of a Gen Zer less than one week after their start date, the study found.
The results ring true with managers across the US and in various industries, who report that young hires have been difficult to deal with,
Tucker Carlson was more than the highest-rated host in all of cable until his shocking termination by Fox News on Monday.
The 53-year-old media veteran is a father, a husband, and a friend to those who have had the pleasure of knowing him and even a delightful stranger to run into in a park: (Snip) Carlson communicated conservatism in ways that are difficult to do. He challenged conventional thinking for Republicans as much as he challenged the country’s far left.
Other than those who loathe ideas such as national sovereignty, life, liberty, and truth, not a single person is better off today — now that his voice has been effectively silenced.

Fox News said Monday that it has “agreed to part ways” with anchor Tucker Carlson.
Carlson, who hosts “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on weekdays at 8 pm, broadcast his final show on April 21, Fox News said.

Chicago must reinstate city employees who were fired for refusing to comply with Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate and rescind the requirement, a state administrative law judge has ruled. The decision came Wednesday in a case before the Illinois Labor Relations Board involving more than 20 unions representing city employees, which filed an unfair labor practices charge with the state panel after Lightfoot imposed the policy in the fall of 2021. (Snip) The judge ordered the city to reinstate the affected employees, with their personnel records expunged, and to compensate workers for any lost pay or benefits that resulted, with 7% interest.

Labour’s Rosie Duffield and Conservative Miriam Cates today issue a rallying cry for the country to come together to protect women’s rights. The MPs have joined forces across the political divide to warn that extremist trans activists must not be allowed to wipe away a century of hard-won protections.
They have become formidable standard bearers in the battle to defend single-sex spaces and the right for a woman to be called a woman despite facing intense hostility from campaigners and even some male MPs.The pair told the Daily Express: “Women’s rights must be protected at all costs and we have united across the political divide
A little-noticed revamp of federal rules on mortgage fees will offer discounted rates for home buyers with riskier credit backgrounds — and force higher-credit homebuyers to foot the bill, The Post has learned.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will enact changes to fees known as loan-level price adjustments (LLPAs) on May 1 that will affect mortgages originating at private banks nationwide (SNIP) “This was a blatant and significant cut of fees for their highest-risk borrowers and a clear increase in much better credit quality buyers – which just clarified to the world that this move was a pretty significant cross-subsidy pricing change,”

Democratic Senator John Fetterman blamed Dr. Mehmet Oz and the “vicious” 2022 campaign season for his ongoing battle with depression, RadarOnline.com has learned. In a surprising interview to come roughly one month after the 53-year-old senator was released from the hospital following a six-week stay for depression, Fetterman spoke about his lingering mental health issues to CBS News affiliate KDKA-TV. “I feel fantastic, honestly,” Fetterman told the Pittsburgh-based outlet following his first official week back in Washington. “A lot of people have asked: 'Hey, how are you feeling? How's your depression?'” “Again, it's in remission,” he continued, “and I am
The Biden-Harris administration has named Vice President Kamala Harris as the new A.I. head with the task of leading the government’s efforts to mitigate the risks and harness the opportunities of artificial intelligence (AI) in America. This decision comes as part of the administration’s broader initiative to promote responsible innovation in AI and safeguard people’s rights and safety.

President Joe Biden defended his decision to seek reelection despite his advanced age during an interview with MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle on Friday and claimed he “know[s] more than the vast majority of people.” After Biden praised Vice President Kamala Harris and claimed she hadn’t “gotten the credit she deserves,” Ruhle said, “Critics would say you’re elevating her because they think you wouldn’t serve a full term, and it is fair to say that there’s not a Fortune 500 company in the world looking to hire a CEO in his 80s.” “So why would an 82-year-old Joe Biden be the right

Ever since we pointed out the branding and image consultants hired by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in April, 2022 as part of his national rebranding launch, we have faced some criticism from non-believers. [Go Deep] However, the truth has no agenda. The reality of the situation exists regardless of our comfort level.
ABC News is now reporting that Ron DeSantis will skip the exploratory committee phase and go straight into full campaign mode. However, the best part of the information provided from within the DeSantis operation is this, “the team has been paying close attention to how to help manage the governor’s facial reactions in the
Cam Newton is not his 2015 MVP self anymore, but the three-time Pro Bowler says there's another reason why he's still a free agent.
Over the years, Newton has grown out his hair for dreadlocks, and he suggests that's a reason why he remained unsigned throughout the 2022 season and is still looking for a job.
"It’s been hindered. And I’m not changin’," he said on Josina Anderson's "Undefined" podcast.
"People have hinted towards to say like, ‘Cam, we want you to go back to the 2015 clean-cut Cam. But that was a different me. Right now, where I’m at, it’s about embracing who I am."
DENVER — Denver City Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca is suggesting a new tax on white-owned businesses to fund racial reparations to minority-owned businesses. CdeBaca advocated for race-based taxation, which would almost certainly prompt constitutional challenges, at a Thursday forum before the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance. (Snip) “Capitalism was built on stolen land, stolen labors, and stolen resources,” said CdeBaca, who identifies as a Democratic Socialist. CdeBaca said a business improvement districts, or BID, could be used to enact a race-based tax on white-owned businesses. “You could be collecting those extra taxes from white-led business all over the city and redistributing
The brand partnership between Bud Light and social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney appears to have alienated both conservatives and leftists as members of the latter group criticize the brand for halfheartedly recanting support for the self-described transgender social media star.
Several reports indicate that Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of Bud Light, has hemorrhaged sales after executives partnered with Mulvaney, a man who claims to be a woman and chronicled his purported gender transition on social media. Executives for the beverage firm have offered vague apologies, downplayed the extent of the campaign,
The killing of a troubled man in a New York City subway car earlier this week has ignited a political firestorm. The battle is not the usual partisan fight between Democrats and Republicans, but instead a struggle between progressives and more centrist members of the Democratic Party. At issue is the response to the killing of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old man experiencing homelessness, on an F train in Manhattan on Monday. The final parts of the encounter that led to Neely’s death were filmed on a cellphone. They show him being held in a chokehold by another civilian. Neely is
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) wrote to Gestapo chief Merrick Garland and his henchman, FBI top dog Christopher Wray, on Wednesday with some allegations that were positively explosive. Grassley and Comer say that they’ve “received legally protected and highly credible unclassified whistleblower disclosures” regarding a “criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.” Would anyone really be surprised if it were positively determined that Old Joe Biden was paid off by foreigners to set policy in a way they dictated?
In October of 2020 – just days before the presidential election – 51 former intelligence officials signed and published a letter that baselessly decried the contents of Hunter’s ‘laptop from hell’ had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
This was a lie. They all knew it was a lie.
Former CIA Director John Brennan and former DNI James Clapper will now be forced to testify before the House Weaponization subcommittee about the statement they signed in 2020 discrediting the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian propaganda.
