The “it was only one can” line is the lie of the year. The cost to design, manufacture, fill and seal just one can is astronomical.

We don’t buy that line, just as we don’t buy Bud Light.

It was a grouping of cans, though not general distribution, but what really got them in trouble is Mulvaney splashed it all over his TikTok page (as the marketing person knew he would) and rather than apologize to their female Budlight drinkers and push back on his claim of a "partnership," they went dark, which is basically a middle finger.

I’ve been noticing as I walk through my local grocery store that people won’t purchase Bud Light or Transheuser Busch products in person. I am noticing, however, that people who shop anonymously from home are having the pickers put the product in their carts. Interesting social dynamics at play.

Cars are a weakness of boys and men, myself included. I only last year surrendered the keys to my wife's all wheel drive FORD SUV. I'm in an ideal small town with excellent delivery and taxi service, and both Walmart and Amazon have seriously upped their game. Before I retired my keys I was going to write a book entitled 99 Ways to Drive 99, but decided the legal liability might be too much. I owe my skills to the Dittmer siblings who foolishly decided to abscond with a moonshiner's hootch stash only to be spotted and chased for hours until they wisely slowed down enough to push the stash out the back. They both later became preacher's of the gospel, as did I.

When time came for my Dad to relinquish driving, he was 5 miles from home and in their only car. He called Mom and asked her to come get him. She said to say where he was. He didn't know. She asked him to describe what he could see. She called me at work and asked if I was free to get to Dad and drive him home, She told him to stay in the car, but to stay where he could see East High School. My boss drove me to him, I drove his car to the house and all was well.

There is really a very simple solution to this problem. STOP USING THEIR VOCABULARY!!!! Stop saying transgender, there is no such thing. There is castration and mutilation. They are the real words, use them. There are no transvestites, there are just people who like to dress up like the opposite sex. They have issues.

There are no drag queens, they are not queens of anyone or anything they are poor souls who try to be something they are not and put on too much make up to somehow convince us of the fact.

All in all this is a matter of confronting fantasy with reality. And sometimes reality hurts feelings, that is the real world. People do not have to accept your idiosyncracies. They can call you nuts, maybe we all are a little nuts but let's face it some of us are off the charts nuts and men who put on pancake makeup and wear 3 inch fake lashes have problems. Or maybe they have just found a way of entertaining people in a club. I really don't care but I do not think the rest of us should be forced into their brand of entertainment or be forced to accept the abnormal as normal.

So try this the next time someone tries to convince you that transgender is a real thing, just answer "I

don't believe in castrating or sterilizing children". I think you will have make your point with that simple answer. And you might add, if you are truly brave, "I think that So called Drs who perform these sick perverted acts on children should be stripped of their licenses and put in prison where they belong".

Sometimes the answers are simple but they do take a bit of courage. Good luck.

And one last thing. nuns are in the truest sense of the word "Brides of Christ" they take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. They are women who sacrifice, they are women who teach children to want to be better people. They should be respected and loved for their sacrifices and those that would make fun of them are very vile creatures indeed.

In my youth I thought a drag queen was a girl in too short shorts and too high heels who held aloft a scarf then swept it to the ground signaling two boys with too fast cars to begin a quarter mile long contest of speed and survival to determine which would have the honor of striking out with her and lying about it on Monday.

In highschool we had freshman initiation where the boys were made to wear dresses heels and makeup. I declined. My punishment was to roll an egg across the gym floor at the next pep rally. My religious beliefs forbade a man wearing women's attire. I still hold that to be true.

An Irishman or Scottsman wearing a kilt is acceptable, an evening gown is not. (Besides, my mom was 4-10 and 80 lbs soaking wet, my sisters no bigger. I was 6-3 by then.)

"It is because the drag queens charity work is a cover for their seething hatred of God and his Catholic followers. Drag queens are messed up men who hate women." Yep.

They purposely choose Christian things like rainbow's and sins like 'pride' for mockery, nothing more. Why? Hatred in their own lives.

I detest how the LGBTQXYZ bunch has stolen the rainbow! During my high school years I was a member of The Order of the Rainbow for Girls, a Christian organization sponsored by the Eastern Star and Masons. I eventually became Worthy Advisor for a period of time. Then, of course, we have the symbol of the Rainbow as God's promise to his people to never again destroy the world by flood. Now that small minority has taken something beautiful and turned it into the symbol to represent their various preversions

They worship that rainbow like a false god. While its annoying, surprisingly, I have been able to separate the two in my mind. This is similar to me to being able to love your family but still not like the choices they make.

1. Axios sez: "...trapped between society’s progressive impulses, and the conservative backlash." The crazies at places like Axios are always inclusive with their insanity (society’s progressive impulses). The only ones in the "society" pushing for those progressive impulses are the nutcases pouring out of J-School, NGO's, CIA, NSA, FBI, and other seething hives of Marxist Indoctrination. I find the duplicity and hypocrisy of Marxism\Communism to be personally infuriating.

2. I just saw this meme: PLANNED PARENTHOOD SAYS UNBORN INFANTS ARE NOT HUMAN BUT THEIR BODY PARTS ARE. More like it here: https://sukwan.substack.com/p/tuesday-tidings-16f?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

3. And finally, a quote from a great 18th century Welch lawyer named Matthew Henry. In his spare time he wrote commentaries about Holy Scripture. Here is a sentence from his commentary on 2 Kings, chapter 13: "The slowness of God's processes against sinners must be construed to the honour of his mercy, not the impeachment of his justice."

Y'all have a good'un. Yours truly, Oaf

Henry does not dilute the truth in any way, and sugar-coats nothing! His commentaries may merely illustrate hard and difficult teachings, and if we have a problem with it, take it to God in prayer.

I discovered M.H. at the BlueLetterBible site. They offer a long list of commentaries. I spent a while comparing them. Matthew Henry is the champ in my book. Back in his day there was a lot more respect for actual, factual truth than there is now. Ever since the Christ-man said, "I am the truth..." there has been a big stink raised in the human frame about what is truth. The facts of life and love either relate to the Truth, or they don't. Them that don't don't survive.

A 2011 study reports 3.5% of the US population identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual. 0.3% identify as trans. I’m sure the grooming and self-promotion by the trans community has resulted in an increase of their numbers but doubt it has grown beyond a percentage or two. To say the tail wags the dog is an understatement. It also gives one an understanding why the LGB community has, for the most part, spoken out against the TQQIAAP2S+ faction (fraction?).

LGB is sexual orientation. TQQIAAP2S+ is engulfed in mental illness leaning toward criminal predatory practices..

I would like to believe we are winning, but until ESG is thoroughly destroyed it’s not going to stop, it’s tentacles attached to nearly every single business in existence. Businesses are being strangled, threatened and extorted by Big Finance to tow a vey one party line or go under. The losses suffered by Target and Bud are suffered as the “cost of doing business”- with the devil. The collusion of government with corporatists is what governs us now: full on fascism. The corporatists write the laws and the feckless pols - whose palms are greased - pass them. They have zero interest in what the citizens want, or care about.

The awareness of this fascistic takeover going on before our very eyes and in every aspect of our very lives is what needs to become front and center in the consciousness of every citizen, exposed and utterly repudiated. Until that happens, they couldn’t care less about a few billion lost. It’s just write-off.

Well, no matter what anyone or in this case "anything" will try to convince me of, I always reflect and follow the advice of my outstanding professor. He often remarked " Stop and think about a problem and go back to the basic facts to begin your analysis."

I'm not religious, so I don't think what's going on has anything to do with God, but I understand where you're coming from.

Dylan Mulvaney is an insult to women. Not all transvestites and drag queens are. I knew someone who did drag. He was/is a gay man who did it for the fun of dressing up in costume and prancing across a stage singing Tina Turner songs, and he did it in an adult venue. He's just the theatrical sort. I have no problem with that. More power to him. I have a problem with Mulvaney because he does womanface or drag queens that "perform" around children (and parents that take their kids to things like that). And my favorite transvestite of all time is Eddie Izzard, who made a much more interesting man in a dress than he does a "woman."

As for abortion, if you give a lot of independents an option between no abortion or up-to-birth abortion, they would choose no abortion. An infant's right to live should not depend on location, especially if they can survive outside the womb. Once you understand what late term abortion involves and the advances that have been made to help extremely early-born children survive, there is literally no reason to kill these infants. The woman is going through the same thing either way and we already have laws that allow parents to give up their children in early days if they find being a new parent too overwhelming. So the "up to birth" crowd are de facto murders, and if they can that easily dispose of a child, they will easily move on to, well, you.

As for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, we're tired of the double standard. We're constantly told we have to respect women who cover their hair for example because they think Allah finds it offensive, but because of rainbow month, a group that twists Catholicism specifically is honored? Yeah, no.

And Target was stupid. They were catering to this tiny handful of people while making parents with curious children explain "tuck friendly" swimsuits. Furthermore, I'm a bigger gal (well, average size if I go looking for clothing, but bigger). I've *never* been able to buy a swimsuit at a place like Target because I want a skirt or a pair of boy shorts on the bottom. Yet some dude wants to wear a woman's swimsuit and you'll put extra fabric in for that, but you won't make me one with a skirt so I can hide all the potato chips that went to my thighs and butt? Trust me. Calling it an "insult" doesn't do it justice. You want a tuck-friendly swimsuit? Do what I have to do. Go online.

A more secular reason you're "winning" is that people in the middle actively agree with you (for their own reasons) and they're boycotting in solidarity, or independents figure these a-holes have made their bed and we're not going to defend them or help them out.
