Anecdotal but seen in many states RE: Bud Light

I recently traveled 5700 miles in 15 days.
I am a bartender and my usual is to find the local dive bar(s). Also, I am an American Legion Post member so I find the local Post to stop in.
I meet and talk to people and I observe and I have always drank Bud Light.

Throughout three Canadian Territories, and 8 (mostly red states): MT, WY, SD, IA, MO, AR, OK, TX…Fact is, Bud Light is being served and purchased and consumed by Republicans.

Also, Budweiser (which is the King of BL) lol

I believe that the only reason this became a big deal is because people with some power or celebrity opened their pie holes and spouted and the media picked it up with gusto and gave it some gas.

In a recent news article I read that the idiot Kid Rock’s bar still serves it…idk if that is true as I would never go there (even if for research 🧐

I’ve also seen report of Modelo taking top sales spot over Bud Light. But I do not see Modelo in peoples hands. I do not put Modelo in peoples hands. Even in TX I did not see Modelo in people’s carts or hands.

Ya’ll. The media is the enemy of truth nowadays.
That is all.

June 19, 1953 Rosenbergs executed

On June 19, 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were convicted of conspiring to pass U.S. atomic secrets to the Soviets, are executed at Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York. Both refused to admit any wrongdoing and proclaimed their innocence right up to the time of their deaths, by the electric chair. The Rosenbergs were the first U.S. citizens to be convicted and executed for espionage during peacetime and their case remains controversial to this day.

Julius Rosenberg was an engineer for the U.S. Army Signal Corps who was born in New York on May 12, 1918. His wife, born Ethel Greenglass, also in New York, on September 28, 1915, worked as a secretary. The couple met as members of the Young Communist League, married in 1939 and had two sons.

President Trump said he has "been summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, at 3 PM."

This is a perimeter probe from the oppressors. Hold. rPOTUS has this.

Buckle up. 1/50K know your bridges. Rock steady calm. That is all.

“WASHINGTON D.C. (KPEL News) - In the wake of news surrounding the indictment of former president Donald Trump in Miami, Florida, one of his most vocal supporters in Louisiana is speaking out. But, his message is confusing to some, while others accuse it of inciting an insurrection.

Congressman Clay Higgins, who represents a large portion of south Louisiana, posted a cryptic tweet in the wake of Trump announcing he was indicted.”

MSNBC coverage

Katy T has Maddow and Ari and Lawrence and Joy….

OMG this is great!

They are having a ball eviscerating tRump.
Just watched them roll tape from September 2016!
Where the orange ass hole goes on and on about classified docs. And then, someone also says that his administration actually toughened the laws that surround this exact indictment!!

So much fun watching the news today.

Nenana Ice Classic - TriPod down!

Happened yesterday but it’s hanging on. Pretty sure it’s gonna stop the clock today.

https://www.nenanaakiceclassic.com/

Ice cam at link.

I have five guesses today starting at 2:26pm AK time. Beginners luck may help me win. Hope so!


On edit: time is Standard time so…per KTUU—

“As a reminder, the winning time is posted in Standard Time. Since Alaska is currently in Daylight Saving Time, one hour must be subtracted from the current time. Clocks in Alaska were advanced one hour on March 13. For example, if the anchor and rope cause the clock to stop at 5 p.m., the winning time will be posted as 4 p.m.

This year’s jackpot is listed at $222,101.“

Dangit! Now over an hour to wait till my first guess of the day is viable. And the tripod seems to be slowly moving.

Duncanpup why?

Bow Wow!

Will Rep. Dave Eastman survive "disloyalty" charge?

The Oathkeeper who did not participate in Jan 6 is on trial because the Oathkeepers are domestic terrorists. AK has a law preventing a person from holding office if they are a member of an organization that promotes overthrowing or tries to overthrow the government.

Unfortunately, I bet he will survive this nonjury trial. According to the article he easily won re-election so obviously his constituency doesn’t care. If it is up to just one judge, it is likely the judge won’t take his office away. We will see.
