The Epoch Times: Former Anheuser-Busch Executive Says Bud Light Backlash Isn't 'Going Away'
Bud Light is continuing to experience a decline in sales as a result of a boycott following an advertising campaign with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. Former Anheuser-Busch executive Anson Frericks warned the company not to underestimate the longevity of the boycott or the impact consumers feel they are having. Bud Light sales significantly declined in the first week of May, according to NielsenIQ and Bump Williams Consulting, with retail sales down 23.6%. Analysts had previously predicted that boycotts might have little effect, but Frericks warned of Bud Light messaging being the key differentiator between brands for customers.
Washington Free Beacon: Libs Hardest Hit: Biden Spending Cuts Could Lead to Spike in STDs

The New American: The Anti-Speech Cartel Increases Censorship, Kicks TNA Off YouTube - The New American

Forbes: FBI Misused Foreign Spy Database To Target Jan. 6 Suspects And BLM Protesters
The FBI misused a foreign surveillance tool on nearly 300,000 US citizens, including January 6 insurrection suspects and protestors in the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, violating querying procedures according to a heavily-redacted court report from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that requires potential changes to access. The FBI failed to present a foreign intelligence purpose to use the database and potentially shot itself in the foot as the Biden Administration hopes to renew the federal act that created Section 702.
The FBI responded by introducing corrective measures to resolve the issue in 2021; the finding also comes as the FBI wrangles with increased scrutiny from the right, following the report from Special Counsel John Durham that found the FBI should not have launched its investigation into allegations of Donald Trump seeking information from Russia.

The New American: Your Sheriff’s Race Could Determine Whether You Live in Freedom or Tyranny
The fight between tyranny and liberty is increasingly dependent on law enforcement, especially the role of sheriffs. The Right needs to ensure that constitutional sheriffs are elected, individuals who understand and uphold the Constitution. They can refuse to enforce unconstitutional laws, and with local authorities playing a crucial role in many arrests, sheriffs can be a powerful force against the Deep State's plans. The Left is aware of this power and aims to take control of sheriff's offices. The Right must become more politically engaged and thoroughly vet candidates to ensure they align with constitutional principles.

The Epoch Times: DeSantis-Backed Candidates Lose to Trump Pick and Democrat
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis suffered two political endorsement losses on election night, including a mayoral race in Jacksonville, Florida, and a Kentucky governor primary. DeSantis had endorsed Republican candidates in both races but lost to Democrats and a candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump. In New Hampshire and Iowa, confusion arose over endorsements, with some Republican legislators pledging allegiance to both DeSantis and Trump, and others denying endorsing Trump despite being on a list released by his team. The polls show Trump leading DeSantis in popularity, with recent surveys indicating a significant lead for Trump over his former ally.
Flag And Cross: Democrats Calling On The Use Of The 14th Amendment If Negotiations With Congress Fail

Biden had said he would explore using the constitutional provision, but Harvard law professor Noah Feldman said that the president could not unilaterally increase the debt limit. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy negotiated for work hours to maintain public assistance including Medicaid and food stamps.

Daily Wire: ‘Getting Worse And Worse’: Former Anheuser-Busch Executive Predicts Bud Light Backlash Is Not Going Away
Bud Light sales fell by nearly 24% after partnering with a transgender social media influencer; the boycott will continue until the brand apologises for the misstep; Anheuser-Busch executives have downplayed the extent of the partnership and even solicited veteran lobbyists in efforts to win back conservatives who once consumed the brew. The backlash is more pronounced for the formerly apolitical brand since consumers can easily pivot to an alternative. The situation is a political one that Bud Light should not have got themselves into.

Human Events: President Obama BANNED from entering Russia
Russia bans 500 US citizens, including Obama and celebrities, in response to new US sanctions. The list is in retaliation for the US's refusal to grant visas to media accompanying Russia's foreign minister in the US and for Russia's denial of a consular visit to a Wall Street Journal reporter who was arrested on suspicion of spying. The move comes on the same day as the G7 leaders announce new steps to support Ukraine against Russia's illegal aggression.

Flag And Cross: UK Members Worry About The Risks Of Cryptocurrency And Non Existing Regulations
UK lawmakers are urging for tighter regulation of cryptocurrency trading as concerns are raised about potential risks to consumers.

The Epoch Times: Net Zero Hydrogen Levy Plans Could Push Energy Bills Up by £120 a Year: Report
The UK government's proposed hydrogen levy could add up to £118 to annual household bills, a 10 percent increase for dual fuel bills, according to Onward, a centre-right think tank. The report argued that the levy would be bad for business, raise household energy bills and risk future investment by undermining net zero. Although the government said that the levy is not applicable until 2025 and would not impact consumers before then, polling conducted by Onward shows that 43 percent of the public oppose the hydrogen levy, with a quarter willing to pay only up to £10. The report suggested that the government needs to reduce the financial cost of supporting the hydrogen industry as much as possible and avoid asking Members of Parliament to vote for bill rises which could risk political support for hydrogen and the broader net zero agenda.
The Epoch Times: High Interest Rates Are Not the Problem; Decades of Low Rates Were: Grant Williams
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and the central bank are facing pressure from lawmakers, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, to soften their fight against inflation. However, one investor with decades of experience in equity markets, Grant Williams, argues that today's interest rates, which Senator Warren considers "high," are perfectly sensible in historical context. He believes that catastrophic results are already unfolding, with three major banks failing in two months, and places the blame for financial fragility at the feet of central bankers for keeping interest rates at zero for so long. Williams believes that raising interest rates may be the right thing to do in the long run, but cautions that it will almost certainly break something and is uncertain when the rate-hiking cycle will flip to a rate-cutting cycle. He is bullish on Japan as a place where investors will look to put money in the next couple of years.

Keller founded Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, authored several books, including "The Reason for God," and was known for his conservative views on theology.

Keller also denounced the idea of American Christians aligning with specific political parties during the 2020 presidential election cycle.

Flag And Cross: Cease And Desist Letter Give Former President Donald Trump A Warning Over Impersonating
The Village People's manager has warned former President Donald Trump to stop hiring impersonators to perform at Mar-a-Lago parties. The band is threatening to bring legal action against Trump if he continues to use their trademarked image and music without their permission. Trump has received multiple cease and desist orders from famous bands over the years, including John Fogerty, Linkin Park, Elton John, and The Rolling Stones, for using their music without permission at campaign rallies.
The Blaze: Squires: Ja Morant's favorite artists promote killing black men with more passion than did 'The Birth of a Nation'
Ja Morant's recent livestream caused controversy as it depicted him in a menacing black minstrel persona, but this is not out of step with the perpetuation of blackface and negative black stereotypes that Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation" represented in 1915. Morant appears to be setting up his own production with his videos, promoting rap culture, and a "Death of a N*gga" update to Griffith's original - highlighting the evolution of hip-hop and cultural trends since the genre's inception. However, critics argue that promoting a culture of guns, murder, and opps music is having real consequences with the senseless shooting of innocent children in black communities and therefore needs to be addressed .
Multibillion-dollar sports corporations and organizations often legitimatize GMO rappers and their death culture, only deeming their behavior unacceptable if replicated by individual players, and yet this popular depiction of black men and neighborhoods has real-life consequences. Morrant and the NBA must end their promotion of the dead n*gga business and GMO music to put an end to a culture with links to senseless violence .

All Outdoor: POTD: Better Than The ASP? - Devel Converted Smith & Wesson 39
A Devel converted Smith and Wesson Model 39-2, a custom work gun from the late 1970s and 1980s, has surfaced. It's a fixed front sight, fully adjustable rear sight model that features a modified frame, shortened barrel, hook added to the trigger guard and a right side trimmed for faster access to the trigger; it's fitted with a set of smooth "DEVEL" marked grips with clear windows for viewing the magazine. It's a unique carry gun that was created to be more controllable, cut down on weight, and sharp edges.
Lot 3775: Devel Converted Smith & Wesson Model 39-2 Semi-Automatic Pistol at Rock Island Auction Company is described as a desirable gun. It has a bobbed hammer, fluted slide, and includes an extra magazine. The left side of the frame is stamped “.057” after the S&W serial number which was manufactured in 1977-1978. The Model 39 was very different compared to today as in the 1970s and 1980s there was very little in the way of 9mm compact handguns in the United States. It's a neat carry gun that is part of firearm history.

The Epoch Times: The Shocking Truth: Unwashed Towels Rival Toilets in Bacteria Counts After Just Three Days
Bath towels can harbor dangerous bacteria like E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella, causing skin diseases, hair loss, infections, and potentially fatal illnesses. The high humidity found in bathrooms can cause towels to accumulate tens of thousands of germs within a day and up to 10 billion or more after a week of use. Using communal towels, even within families, can lead to mutual infections. To avoid these health risks, it is recommended to regularly wash towels and each family member should use their own towel.
Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming more prevalent in communities and can cause life-threatening bloodstream infections. Sharing towels, saunas, and whirlpools, skipping showers, lack of regular hand hygiene, all contribute to the transmission of infections. The World Health Organization has reported that drug-resistant superbugs such as Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter bacteria, which are found in hospitals, have a 50 percent resistance to antibiotics. Using sodium percarbonate, baking soda, and citric acid can help remove the bacteria responsible for towel odors. Proper hygiene practices, washing towels with hot water, and using individual towels can help reduce the spread of dangerous bacteria.

The Epoch Times: Raising Backyard Chickens Requires Money, Time and Pluck. Here's How to Do It
Backyard chicken-keeping has soared amid the pandemic. Abby Schuft, a poultry educator with the University of Minnesota Extension, offers tips to keep bird ownership successful. Although it may look like a trend, remember that raising backyard birds is “really a hobby for animal lovers.” Feed expenses, initial coop outlay, and ongoing care and maintenance make backyard chicken raising a serious endeavor that requires consideration. Schuft receives frequent inquiries and tries to manage expectations, informing would-be owners of a backyard flock the logistical situations, as well as raising awareness of the risks. Maintaining birds free from hunger, distress, discomfort, injury, disease, and allowing them to express normal behavior is essential and required by law, in some states.
