Liberalism is piecemeal socialism, and socialism always attacks three institutions: religion, family, and property. Religion, because it offers a rival authority to the State; family, because it means a rival loyalty to the State; property, because it means independence of the State.

Remember, Gentlemen; if you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring them in and warm them up. 😉 And please do especially remember to show some compassion to those poor senoritas who aren’t used to our weather at all.
What with the ongoing faux saga in Texas, I’m sure that there are Democrats wringing their hands right now and gnashing their teeth, bemoaning how Gov. Abbott is destroying the taco harvest. And yeah, I’m only sort of kidding. A large number of Democrats, especially those in California, likely do think that tacos are harvested from orchards. 🙄
Bud Light’s trans stupidity – or, more specifically, Alissa Heinerscheid, who chose Dylan Mulvaney, and Daniel Blake, who allowed her to do so – was an easily avoidable error. They didn’t need to endorse a tranny who’s persona was a sick, twisted, and anachronistic caricature of a woman. Nor did they have to pick a tranny who wanted “sleep overs” with young girls.
They had a plethora of other, better options – options that wouldn’t in all likelihood have permanently or semi-permanently crippled their sales.
It only took me a couple of hours over the course of a couple of days of desultory – read as lackadaisical – effort on Tumblr to find these 27 better transgirl influencers. And, it only took that long due to a combination of: specifically looking for obviously trans girls; abiding by the no-nudity restrictions of my hosting provider; and meeting my self-assigned dimension requirements for image galleries.
Hellfire and Perdition! Heinerscheid could have chosen the truly hardcore option and dared people to complain.
Center-Right Republican, Blaire White (Click to Enlarge)
Yeah, Heinerscheid could have decided to work with Blaire White, who has a far larger subscriber-base and far larger reach across multiple platforms. As White is a center-right, Republican who is openly trans, Heinerscheid could have essentially dared Bud Light drinkers to complain… though, in point of fact, few would have, as evidenced by White’s multi-million subscribers and resulting income.
But Heinerscheid instead chose Mulvaney and Blake let it do so, either with his approval or through his lack of oversight and management of the brand.
But, in Heinerscheid’s case, the mistake wasn’t what one might have expected, at least not in scale or lasting, damaging effect. She wanted to alienate large swaths of Bud Light’s drinkers. That’s why she chose Mulvaney. Her and her superior’s mistake was not anticipating how bad the backlash would be and thinking that the Left would jump on the brand and make up the expected difference. She was deliberately biting the hands that feed her in the hope of getting new groups to do so instead.
Protests involving Israel’s right to defend itself and its people from Muslim savagery vary greatly depending upon whether the protests are against Israel’s existence or for it. The differences are easy to spot.
Sadly, since the anti-Israel “protestors” mostly cause havoc in Democrat-controlled zones, they’re treated as is if they were as peaceful and proper as the pro-Israel demonstrations. It’s fast reaching the point when Americans will have to take matters into our own hands and exterminate these vermin root and branch in such a manner as to have a long-lasting “chilling effect” on such things as would support our enemies, both foreign and domestic.
So, once again it’s Valentine’s Day, the consumption-based holiday that “enjoys” the most ambivalence from the American people. I’m not a big fan of it myself, but thinking outside the box of chocolates does make this day of enforced trappings of romance more palatable. Case in point – here’s 48 examples of better gifts for couples than candy and flowers. 😉
