Miscellany

First, BudLight death watch. Will BudLight survive? Sales are down significantly. Distributors are giving it away. When they can’t give it away, they are sending it back to the mother brewery.

The company stock has cratered. It is now in bear market territory.  Once the best selling beer in America BudLight is being punished for embracing the trans agenda. Feels about right to me.

Second,  angry customers are also boycotting Target. The company stock has fallen apart and the store is suffering. The stock has lost around $14 billion in value. The company sin, it embraced the trans agenda and  hired, as vice president of brand marketing, one Carlos Saavedra, a man who also works for an organization that promotes, that is, favors grooming children, to make them transsexual. The organization is GLSEN.

Target has yet to fire his sorry ass.

Third, Target also has a diversity and chief, named Keira Hernandez. Her solution to Target’s problems-- punish white women for racism.

Fourth, Kohl’s Department stores, another proponent of Pride month, was also subjected to a boycott. It’s stock price has plummeted.

Fifth, Fox News is Tuckered out. The consequences of the network’s incomprehensible decision to fire Tucker Carlson has been-- its prime time line up has lost a million viewers. That is more than a third of its audience. Fox executives are consoling themselves with the fact that advertisers like Procter and Gamble have returned to the 8:00 hour.

Sixth, in Illinois, nitwit governor and presidential aspirant J.B. Pritzker claimed, before Memorial Day Weekend that he would flood Chicago’s streets with yellow vested peace keepers. This would tamp down the crime, so he said. 

Now, we know that over the weekend 53 people were shot and 11 were murdered in Chicago. Great job, J. B.

Seventh, you recall that one Tara Reade accused then-senator Joe Biden of sexual assault. Evidently, no one in the mainstream media much cared about it. Now, Reade has left the country and has sought asylum in Russia.

Eighth, the University of North Carolina medical school chose sanity. It has disbanded its diversity, equity and inclusion task force and has rejected the conclusions it had drawn-- something to do with systemic racism.

Ninth, it was not good news for the sustainability crowd. A school district in Michigan discarded its gas guzzling buses and had bought a bunch of electric buses.

Local sustainability official, Emile Lauzzana said this:

Electric buses are approximately five times more expensive than regular buses, and the electrical infrastructure, which was originally estimated to be only about $50,000, give or take, for those four buses ended up being more like $200,000.

Have a great weekend.
