Budweiser's groveling new ad after trans backlash
Anheuser-Busch has lost over $6 billion since its Dylan Mulvaney partnership began, and it's pulling out some marketing moves to make up for it.
Bud Light released a message from its CEO, which Pat Gray calls “terrific.”
The CEO writes in one part, “My time serving this country taught me the importance of accountability and the values upon which America was founded: freedom, hard work, and respect for one another. As CEO of Anheuser-Busch, I am focused on building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage.”
Gray then shows Anheuser-Busch’s latest commercial, which is rife with American values, Clydesdales, and blue-collar imagery.
Grays co-host, Keith Malinak, says, “Oh they’re scared, they are quaking.”
He adds mockingly, “Let’s make people forget that we’re now a foreign-owned company now too.”
Anheuser-Busch is a Belgian multinational drink and brewing company based in Leuven, Belgium — not America — as the commercial might lead you to believe.
Malinak mentions that it’s not just Anheuser-Bush that’s suffering via self-inflicted, woke wounds.
Dicks Sporting Goods lost its shareholders $250 million when it stopped carrying guns. Disney streaming services lost a billion per quarter. Netflix lost 9 billion after the "Cuties" boycott — and the list goes on.
“So just know,” he adds, “that when a company goes woke, they literally go broke.”

Chad Prather: You can't find middle ground with people who want to eat babies
Is it possible to love your neighbor as you love yourself in this day and age? Chad Prather believes it is.
He says, “If you understand actual love as it is lived in a verb sense, and not felt in an adjective sense, then when I tell you to love your neighbor, you get it. You take that person for everything he or she is and everything he or she can be and you do as our Lord did and you die to yourself for them. You help them carry the burden of being human.”
But does this remain true even for the worst humanity has to offer?
Prather shows a TikTok video that was recently posted on the Libs of TikTok Twitter account.
The video shows a trans activist with bright pink hair, white eyes, and upside-down crosses painted the person's face. The trans activist talks about dumpster-diving behind abortion clinics and taking those “mushy little gummy bear-looking” aborted fetuses and eating them.
The person says, “I’m gonna blend them into a smoothie, eat them right in front of you. I’m gonna be eating these little babies, and what are they gonna do — cry to God about it?”
The person then laughs and continues, “What’s God gonna do, strike me down with a lightning bolt like Zeus?”
Chad says, “You’re not gonna win that person over by arguing with them. It’s not your responsibility to try to save that person from themselves. But that’s a perfect example. That’s a person who has very low self-worth right there.”
He says people like that are fighting an “esteem battle” and simply trying to get attention because they need it to feel good about themselves.
“That’s what this girl is doing here. By talking about, you know, blending up aborted babies and making a smoothie out of them and eating them, and then people like you and me, what are we going to do, cry to our God about it?”
“This is what we’re up against,” he says.

JK Rowling shuts down trans activist with perfect two-word response that goes mega-viral
Author J.K. Rowling went viral on Sunday after responding to a transgender activist who attacked her without provocation.
What is the background?
On Sunday, Rowling criticized Scottish politicians for issuing groveling apologies after they participated in a demonstration in which at least one person had a "decapitate TERFs" sign, the Glasgow World reported.
"A strange new form of temporary blindness has broken out among Scottish politicians," Rowling tweeted. "None of them could read placards calling for violence against women while standing inches away from them, yet they were instantly cured when photos of them posing with the signs hit the press."
In response, trans activist India Willoughby claimed the "decapitate TERFs" sign did not exist and said that Rowling does not "represent women." Then Willoughby took a direct shot at Rowling.
"I’m more of a woman than JK Rowling will ever be," Willoughby claimed.
How did Rowling respond?
Willoughby's claim — that as a biological male Willoughby is more of a woman than Rowling, who is a biological woman — quickly caught the "Harry Potter" author's attention.
Rowling responded with just two words.
"Citation needed," she said.
\u201cCitation needed.\u201d— J.K. Rowling (@J.K. Rowling) 1674411168
The response generated nearly 140,000 "likes" and more than 16 million views by Monday afternoon.
Rowling is a regular target for trans activists because she has repeatedly made it clear that she opposes progressive trans ideology on the grounds that it erases the legitimacy of women.
Trans activists accuse Rowling of being a TERF, which stands for "trans-exclusionary radical feminist." Even dictionary.com defines the label negatively, saying that TERF refers to "an advocate of radical feminism who believes that a trans woman’s gender identity is not legitimate and who is hostile to the inclusion of trans people and gender-diverse people in the feminist movement."
Anything else?
Willoughby later celebrated that Willoughby's rhetorical attack on Rowling drew the billionaire author's attention, as well as the attention of comedian Ricky Gervais.
Posting a screenshot of Rowling's reply, which showed that Gervais had "liked" Rowling's response, Willoughby wrote, "It’s insane that my existence annoys two people on Twitter who between them have a combined Twitter following of 30 million people! That’s nuts, isn’t it?"
