There is evidently so much Bud Lite sitting on the shelves these days after the Dylan Mulvaney fiasco that vendors are offering $20 rebates for a $19.98 case of beer and the Anheuser-Busch brand is being torched for it as the company continues to crater in sales. A photo is floating around on social media showing the unnamed vendor’s rebate and stacks of 24-can cases of Bud Light gathering dust on shelves. The ridicule on Twitter was brutal. Former heavyweight boxer Ed Latimore wrote, “I’ve been sober for almost a decade, so I’m not sure on this, but ain’t a case like $20 most places? Things can’t be going great if they’re basically giving it away.” https://www.bizpacreview.com/2023/05/18/bud-light-reamed-for-rebate-that-basically-gives-beer-away-for-free-damn-theyre-done-1360237/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

Electing Lori Lightfoot as Mayor of Chicago was the beginning of the end for that city. Replacing her with someone even more far left is accelerating Chicago’s terminal decline.

Biden’s appointees have included an eco-terrorist to head the Bureau of Land Management and no shortage of racists, but Rachael Rollins was something else. The Soros DA was in a league of her own even among her ilk. When the Black Lives Matter race riots devastated cities, Rollins ranted,“This burning rage that you are seeing when you turn your TV on or you hear in my voice is real. People are fed up, and to the white community that is now waking up to see this rage, we have been telling you this forever.” “Buildings can be fixed,” Rollins argued while falsely accusing police officers of having “lynched and murdered” black people. The pro-crime DA then defended the rioters claiming that “It is completely ironic to have to say to you, ‘please don’t be violent. Please keep your voice down. Please be silent and comply with all of the police’s requirements’, when in fact it’s those very people that murder us with impunity.” Rollins had stirred up the violence by falsely claiming that “we are being murdered at will by the police & their proxy” and ranted, “No more apologies. No more words. Demand action. Radical change now.” When Boston cops protested against Rollins “slandering our officers as murderers”, she retorted with a racist taunt to the heroic officers, “white fragility is real.” https://www.frontpagemag.com/bidens-racist-anti-police-prosecutor-forced-to-resign-after-a-year/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

It’s getting so bad nowadays unions don’t even pretend to serve their members anymore. Case in point: On May 8, the Oakland (Calif.) Education Association (OEA) pulled its 3,000 members out of the classroom, abandoning 34,000 students with only three weeks left before summer vacation was due to start. The union, which represents not only teachers but also nurses, social workers, psychologists, counselors, and substitutes, originally warned the strike could well continue into next fall, but news broke over the weekend that the impasse may have been broken. https://redstate.com/freedom-foundation/2023/05/16/oakland-teachers-union-puts-liberal-agenda-ahead-of-members-students-parents-n746053 If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

You might be fortunate to live in a part of the country where mask-sightings have become mercifully rare. But a surprising number of Americans, particularly those in urban areas, continue to don masks, and most public-health officials would happily make the rest of us do so again if given half a chance. The pandemic may be officially over, but the reckoning with the response must not be. The mask zealots’ mantra has long been that masks clearly do some good, while they don’t do any harm. The first part of that contention is unsupported by the best medical research, as I’ve detailed in “Do Masks Work?,” “Masks Still Don’t Work,” and (most recently) “The Mask of Ignorance.” The second part—that masks do no harm—is contradicted by the obvious degradation of human social interaction when people are masked, and it has now been further contradicted by a new German study. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/mask-wearers-are-poisoning-themselves/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

Without security, there is anarchy. And where there is anarchy, the state can command neither legitimacy nor respect. By Matthew Boose May 6, 2023 Arguably, the greatest indictment of leftism is its preference for the vagrant and the criminal over the law-abiding citizen and victim. In politics, there are all kinds of disagreements about the role and scope of the state, but the one thing the state must do is protect the innocent. Without security, there is anarchy. And where there is anarchy, the state can command neither legitimacy nor respect. Yet racial idolaters on the Left have pushed society to forgo basic expectations of public order and civilized conduct. Demanding anything more than day-to-day chaos would be cruel to “marginalized” people like deranged homeless black men on the subway. The Left has a warped infatuation with society’s most entitled, recalcitrant, and destructive elements. Their latest martyr is a lunatic named Jordan Neely, who was killed while threatening commuters in Manhattan on Monday morning. The man, portrayed by sympathetic media as a “Michael Jackson impersonator,” was throwing garbage at people and making vaguely threatening statements about his willingness to go to prison for life. A reasonable person would feel afraid in this situation, as passengers doubtless did. A heroic vigilante intervened and put Neely in a chokehold. Two other men helped restrain Neely, who later died. https://amgreatness.com/2023/05/06/black-grievance-politics-is-destroying-civilization/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

As losses mount, journalist Ruslan Kotsaba believes that “soon” the majority of people will share his pacifist views. ‘The worst kind of peace is better than any war’ – An exiled Ukrainian dissident appeals to Zelenksy and his country’s elites. In Kolomyia, a small town in Ukraine’s Western Ivano-Frankovsk Region, a court is hearing the case against Ruslan Kotsaba, who is accused of treason and crimes against the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, the defendant is not present, having fled to the US in August 2022. The details of the charges brought against the journalist are still unknown. An advisor to the Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Markiyan Lubkivsky, has stated that documents which “may indicate” treason and espionage were seized during his arrest. However, they have not been made public. https://www.rt.com/russia/575625-civilization-ends-at-war-interview/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

A biolab containing contagious pathogens has been seized by fighters in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The lab, which includes isolates of polio, measles, and cholera, among other hazardous materials, has been taken over by unidentified fighters, prompting concerns of a potential outbreak. Reports suggest that Sudanese fighters have taken over the laboratory, with conflicting reports as to which of the two factions, the army or the RSF, is occupying the building. However, a recent report from CNN suggests that the RSF, led by Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemedti, has seized control of the lab. Since the lab contains numerous dangerous pathogens, the risk of a biological hazard is looming large. A high-ranking medical source told CNN “the danger lies in the outbreak of any armed confrontation in the laboratory because that will turn the laboratory into a germ bomb.” https://beckernews.com/fighters-seize-u-s-funded-biolab-in-sudanese-capital-who-warns-about-threat-of-germ-bomb-50099/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

A biological male runner who identifies as transgender reportedly beat thousands of women in the female category of the London Marathon this week. According to the New York Post, the runner, Glenique Frank, ran the New York Marathon last fall in the men’s category as “Glen Frank” (via the New York Post): “London is the best!” the 52-year-old runner said of her 17th marathon, which last year included Tokyo and Chicago and will include all of the “six majors,” including Berlin and then Boston. “Girl power!” Frank said of her marathon efforts while flexing her bulging biceps above rainbow-colored armbands. The runner — whose social media still shows photos of her running earlier races as a balding man — ended the mid-race chat to gush about how her “beautiful son” is expecting a baby. “So I’m going to be a gran — Granny G!” Frank said before running off, draped in a blue, pink and white transgender flag. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/madelineleesman/2023/04/25/transgender-runner-n2622398 If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

Ever since the world was forced into lockdown in March 2020, the question of where and how Covid-19 appeared has captivated scientists and the wider public. Tracing the source of the virus could be invaluable in preventing future pandemics, yet the quest to find Covid’s origins has been deeply politicized, which in turn has altered the course of research, collaboration and dialogue. Sadly, as a recent publication by Chinese scientists in Nature shows, we are still a long way from getting to the bottom of what happened in Wuhan in 2020. https://archive.is/uc1id#selection-855.0-863.94 If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

NBC recently carried a report that a 16-year-old boy named Pedro works at the slaughterhouse. The report claimed that Pedro is responsible for hauling away animal parts in a cart, scrubbing blood off the floor and cleaning machines with harsh chemicals and that his work hours are 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. "Although the job is hard, dangerous and tiring, he fears losing his paycheck would put him and his family in Guatemala in an impossible situation. Pedro said he used a false identity to get the job," said the report. Days after the reports aired, PSSI sent NBC News a videotaped interview the company conducted with Pedro in which he said he is not a minor. NBC News also asked Pedro to reconfirm his age, and he said it was “hard for me to explain.” NBC News and Noticias Telemundo then traveled to Guatemala and obtained official documentation showing he is 21. The report turned out to be a complete falsehood. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/04/nbc_news_retracts_spurious_report_on_underage_slaughterhouse_workers.html If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

During a Senate hearing Tuesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas refused to explain why an exponential surge in child smuggling and exploitation has happened under his watch and denied that the Department had lost track of 85,000 of these children. Since the beginning of Fiscal Year 2021, 345,807 unaccompanied minors have been allowed to enter the United States through the southwest land border, U.S. Customs and Border Protection statistics show. As American Greatness has previously reported, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) habitually releases migrant children to unvetted “sponsors” who force them to take on grueling jobs, or be sexually exploited. In some cases, dozens of unaccompanied alien children (UAC) have been sent to the same residence of an unvetted sponsor. https://amgreatness.com/2023/04/18/mayorkas-refuses-to-explain-why-child-exploitation-has-exploded-under-his-watch-denies-dhs-lost-track-of-85000-migrant-children/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is convinced that he has figured out a way to stop China from invading Taiwan: Give the Taiwanese people guns. Mr. Ramaswamy, a 37-year-old entrepreneur, outlined a governing vision at the National Rifle Association’s gathering Friday in Indianapolis that included shutting down the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Department of Education, and ending race-based affirmative action. “You want China not to invade Taiwan? Here is something we can do: The NRA can open its branch next time in Taiwan,” Mr. Ramaswamy said. “And you want to stop [Chinese President] Xi Jinping from invading Taiwan, put a gun in every Taiwanese household, have them defend themselves, let’s see what Xi Jinping does then. That is what it means to be an actual American.” https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2023/apr/14/gop-presidential-candidate-calls-guns-every-taiwan/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=SocialFlow If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

The suspect captured on shocking video wearing a jacket with the letters FDNY emblazoned on the back while shooting and killing another man execution-style in a New York City smoke shop was arrested Tuesday. Police say the same man also murdered a 19-year-old just 30 hours prior and was out on bail for allegedly opening fire toward cops two years ago. Messiah Nantwi, 21, was arrested and charged in the murder of 36-year-old Brandon Brunson in Sunday's brazen Harlem smoke shop slaying, as well as the murder of 19-year-old Jaylen Duncan, who was fatally shot in the head near Madison Avenue and East 132nd Street Saturday afternoon. Nantwi, according to reports, was out on bail for the attempted murder of a police officer after allegedly firing at cops during a graffiti stop in the Bronx in February 2021. https://www.yahoo.com/news/suspect-arrested-nyc-smoke-shop-133207078.html If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

President Joe Biden on Monday officially ended the COVID national health emergency that for more than three years underpinned extraordinary efforts to provide care for a country where more than a million people died from the disease. The White House said Biden signed a law passed earlier by Congress "which terminates the national emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic." This closes lavish funding streams for COVID tests, free vaccines and other emergency measures thrown together—starting in January 2020—to try and free the world's biggest economy from the grip of the global pandemic. Less clear is the impact the end of the emergency will have on the already tense southern border with Mexico, where US authorities have long struggled to manage the flow of undocumented immigrants and large numbers of asylum seekers. A rule known as Title 42 was used during the official health emergency to impose stringent restrictions on acceptance of undocumented arrivals. That is set to end, forcing the administration to adopt a different legal mechanism if it wants to avoid the politically damaging potential of new influxes. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-04-biden-covid-emergency-status.html If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

The New York Post reported Friday that “executives at companies like Nike, Anheuser-Busch and Kate Spade, whose brand endorsements have turned controversial trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney into today’s woke ‘It girl,’ aren’t just virtue signaling.” Instead, they’re paying the modern-day equivalent of Mafia protection money, trying to keep the heat off their business: they’re hiring Dylan and making other displays of wokeness “because they have to — or risk failing an all-important social credit score that could make or break their businesses.” If they don’t inflict woke advertising campaigns on us, they’re liable to do damage to their Corporate Equality Index (CEI) score, which could be disastrous for their business. Watching corporations and tallying up their CEI score is the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), which the Post describes as “the largest LGBTQ+ political lobbying group in the world,” noting that it has gotten “millions” from George Soros’ far-Left Open Society Foundation. HRC gives corporations points for being gay-friendly and subtracts them for daring not to toe the woke line. It does this based on “rating criteria” that award up to 100 points for workplace features such as a “gender-neutral dress code” and “data collection forms” that feature “optional questions on sexual orientation and gender identity.” https://www.jihadwatch.org/2023/04/revealed-the-real-reason-why-fake-woman-dylan-mulvaney-is-suddenly-everywhere If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, co

Big Tech has a great big dream of destroying the internet. And it’s mostly a reality. The vision of the internet was an open universe while Big Tech’s vision is the internet reduced to the feed on a few proprietary apps preloaded on your locked phone. Trying to censor the internet of the 90s or the 00s was a laughable proposition, but censoring today’s internet is laughably easy. Want to eliminate a site from the internet? Just wipe it from Google, ban a point of view from Facebook, a book from Amazon, or a video from YouTube. It’s still possible to browse a site off the Big Tech reservation, for now, at least until your browser goes away. Then content will be limited to the permitted apps on Google and Apple’s proprietary app stores. But Big Tech has even more ambitious plans to replace the internet with itself. Big Tech has dramatically simplified the user experience off the internet. It did so by moving users from ‘pulling’ content by browsing the internet to ‘pushing’ content at them by displaying a feed. When your computer or phone shows you a news feed you never wanted, that’s ‘pushing’. Big Tech loved pushing, but people resisted it until the arrival of social media reduced everyone to scrolling down a feed selected by secret algorithms and pushed through a proprietary app. Search, as we used to know it, has been disappearing. People still think that they’re searching the internet the way that they used to in the 90s and the 00s when what they’re actually doing when ‘googling’ is scrolling through a feed derived from a much smaller index of corporate and leftist sites prioritized by Google’s algorithm. In the past, it was possible to get past them by scrolling through page results but that is increasingly becoming meaningless or impossible. https://www.frontpagemag.com/woke-ai-means-the-end-of-a-free-internet/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

From The Guardian: Last month one of our journalists received an interesting email. A researcher had come across mention of a Guardian article, written by the journalist on a specific subject from a few years before. But the piece was proving elusive on our website and in search. Had the headline perhaps been changed since it was launched? Had it been removed intentionally from the website because of a problem we’d identified? Or had we been forced to take it down by the subject of the piece through legal means? The reporter couldn’t remember writing the specific piece, but the headline certainly sounded like something they would have written. It was a subject they were identified with and had a record of covering. Worried that there may have been some mistake at our end, he asked colleagues to go back through our systems to track it down. Despite the detailed records we keep of all our content, and especially around deletions or legal issues, they could find no trace of its existence. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/apr/06/ai-chatgpt-guardian-technology-risks-fake-article If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

South Pole, the world’s leading seller of so-called carbon “credits,” is not what it claims to be. When it was first hatched, the operation, co-founded by Renat Heuberger, branded itself as a solution to the climate problem of deforestation. By selling carbon offsets to businesses bound by “green” mandates, South Pole would generate a profit to funnel back into local communities and organizations aiming to conserve the environment – or so South Pole told its customers. In practice, South Pole hurtled towards a valuation of $1 billion while its clients were left holding the bag. Such is the nature of the market for carbon credits and other green scams. The company’s biggest project right now is called Kariba, located in Zimbabwe. South Pole claimed that it would help prevent the annihilation of a forest nearly the size of Puerto Rico, but this has not happened. Several outside experts conducted an analysis of Kariba and found that it vastly overestimated the extent of preservation actually taking place. Companies like Gucci, McKinsey, and Nestle that purchased Kariba credits to offset their own contributions to “climate change” and “global warming” are now having to backtrack their own climate claims “because the Kariba credits they bought haven’t generated enough real atmospheric benefit,” to quote a report from Bloomberg about the scandal. “Most of Kariba’s €100 million in proceeds have gone to South Pole and its project partner, a company called Carbon Green Investments, not – as both companies previously indicated in interviews and public blog posts – to people in the rural communities who do the work of fighting deforestation,” that same report indicates. https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-03-29-largest-seller-carbon-credits-exposed-scam-operation.html# If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY

The Ukrainian military is poised to unleash a massive offensive against Russian troops in the coming weeks, which will stun the global community, a US adviser to a Kiev's top general claimed on Thursday. Speaking in an interview with the Ukrainian daily New Voice, Dan Rice, an Iraq War veteran who now serves as an adviser to Valery Zaluzhny, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian armed forces, claimed Russia had encountered serious hurdles while trying to gain control of the key Donbass city of Artyomovsk, known in Ukraine as Bakhmut. In recent weeks, Russian forces have captured several villages around the strategic logistical hub, with Evgeny Prigozhin, chief of the Wagner Private Military Company, claiming the group was in control of 70% of the city. Last week, Russia’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyanskiy, described the Ukrainian troops’ situation on the ground as “very poor,” saying they were virtually encircled and suffering heavy losses. https://www.rt.com/russia/573513-ukraine-counteroffensive-shock-world/ If you'd like to help support this censorship-proof public service, consider donating: Bitcoin address: 1KiJD44WeWKaDb4Newr7bDXadtGn21ACqY
